When Suldak led the convoy to leave the village of Wall, a white line just lit up on the edge of the horizon of the deserted Gobi Desert.
Until we crossed the Paglos Pass, the red sun appeared at the edge of the earth and sky.
Standing at the highest point of the mountain pass, you can still see a group of people under the dead trees at the entrance of the village in the distance, old Sheila, Natasha, Rita, little Peter and Aphrodite.
Yes, this time the succubus Aphrodite stayed in Wall Village. Although she betrayed the king of sin, Amozdan, and had her wings cut off by her tribe, she was still a succubus after all.
Discovering her true identity would probably bring some unnecessary trouble to Surdak, so Aphrodite offered to stay in Wall Village.
Suldak and his party took six carriages filled with sulfur ore, passed through Oak Ridge, and finally arrived at the city of Halanza before the city gate closed.
However, Surdak was not in a hurry to enter Halanza with six four-wheeled carriages this time. The hotel outside Halanza had a larger courtyard.
The buildings in Helensa are extremely compact. If you want to find a hotel that can park six four-wheeled carriages at the same time, there are not many places to choose from. Moreover, the cost of accommodation in the city is much higher than that of hotels outside the city, and it is cannibalistic.
Mogulitem's entry into the city would also cause panic among the residents of the city, so Surdak decided to let the ogre and six carriages stay outside the city.
Early the next morning, Suldak rushed to the White Elephant Trading Company with six four-wheeled carriages, sold all the sulfur ore to the White Elephant Trading Company, paid the coachmen a commission, and then took Andrew with him.
Samira and Gulitem came to the Hellanza Guard Camp to report.
As a group of four people walked on the street, the residents of Halanza City cast surprised glances at the ogre.
In recent times, the ogre Gulitem has long been accustomed to this look of surprise and fear. He could only pretend that he did not see the crowd of people around him. In the morning, Surdak bought a bag at the White Elephant Trading Company.
A good dried salted fish. This was a mackerel weighing nearly thirty pounds. The whole dried fish exuded a salty smell, which put the ogre Gulitem in a good mood. He kept this fish along the way.
He held the dried fish in his hand.
Half-elf archer Samira still covered her face tightly with a hood. She wore a salamander leather armor and carried a forest bow on her back. Many people envied the exquisite leather armor she wore, but no one noticed what was hidden under the hood.
Beautiful face.
Andrew, who was wearing a full-coverage Hellanza guard camp armor, was more like a guard camp knight than Suldak. He was riding a horse on the street, and the pedestrians on the street took the initiative to avoid both sides, giving Andrew a chance.
An unprecedented sense of superiority.
A group of four people walked through the streets of Helensa City and walked into the yard of the guard camp. Some knights from the guard camp took the initiative to say hello to Surdak.
Surdak asked casually and found out that Viscount Emmett had led the knights of the guard camp who went to the Maca plane three days ago to return to Helensa on a magic airship. Surdak took the horse to the stable.
Then he took Andrew, Samira, and Gulitem into the main building of the guard camp.
I walked into the rest area of the support squadron and said hello to the knight on duty of the support squadron. When I learned that the squadron leader Karl was here today, I opened the door and walked into Karl's office. I happened to see Karl sitting on the chair behind the desk.
, his feet in riding boots were raised high on the table, chatting and laughing with a staff member.
The door to the room was suddenly pushed open. The female staff member who was chatting with her quickly put away her frivolous smile, adjusted her uniform and skirt in a panic, and then slipped out of the door with a pile of documents in her arms.
Walking into Karl's office, the two hugged.
Carr said to Suldak:
“I’m counting the days, and it’s time for you to arrive at the city of Halanza. Is this journey going smoothly?”
Suldak nodded.
“Let’s go, let’s go to Captain Sauron to say hello, and by the way, we can go through the induction procedures for your security team members.” Karl said lazily, holding his good brother’s shoulders.
…
"Captain Sauron, this time I brought it back from the Maca plane..." Karl sat opposite Captain Sauron and pushed the three applications over.
The application form contained the resumes of Samira and Andrew. Captain Solon rubbed his forehead, waved his hand to Karl and said:
"Andrew, Samira and Gulitem, the names of these people make my ears tingle. I heard that one of them is a foreign ogre. If it is any brigade in Halanza City, I will
They will not agree to their application for employment, but if you want them to maintain law and order in the deserted land, the employment conditions can be relaxed appropriately."
He glanced at Suldak who was standing behind Karl and said to him:
“Since both Karl and Emmett strongly recommend it, then I can do something special here, but... I won’t do it next time!”
The formation of the security team in the deserted land outside the Paglos Pass has been agreed upon for a long time, and the recruitment of Andrew and Samira has been recommended by the captain of the support squadron, Carl, and approved by Viscount Emmett. Although this
The three of them did not meet the entry requirements for the guard camp, but Captain Solon just casually looked at the application and signed his name on it readily.
After more than two months of rest, Captain Sauron's injuries have basically healed. The only regret is that he completely missed the plane war in the Maca plane. Instead, Viscount Emmett took an advantage. In terms of personal resume and achievements
There was a very heavy writing on the book.
Karl is the squadron leader promoted by Captain Sauron, so he has a very close relationship with Captain Sauron.
Captain Sauron leaned back on his chair. He had gained weight in the past two months while recovering from his injuries.
He looked at Surdak again, and said with a smile:
"You did a good job this time, Knight Surdak. This time the Hellanza Guard Camp was praised by Marquis Luther. All the knights who went to the Maca Plane will have half a month of compensatory leave, and there will also be corresponding rewards.
Rewards, and your rewards are a bit special, you have to wait patiently until there is no new notice from above, the distribution is likely to be delayed, but being late also has its benefits."
After leaving Captain Solon's office, the next thing was much simpler. First, they went to Ms. Flora of the Guard Camp Personnel Department to go through the formal entry procedures. Only with Ms. Flora's signature, the three of them could start from the guard camp every month.
The camp receives a fixed salary.
Subsequently, Karl led them to the underground warehouse of the guard camp and received the standard equipment issued by the guard camp from Gwendolyn. Samira received a brand new alloy bow from the weapons warehouse.
Suldak and Karl made an appointment to meet at the Three Bears Barbecue Restaurant in the evening, and then they took Samira, Andrew, and Gulitem out of the guard camp and went directly to the Knight Academy in the city of Helensa.
This time in the Maka plane war, he missed the winter final exam of the Knight Academy. However, since he has become a first-class knight, it is impossible for the Knight Academy to hold his graduation certificate from the Knight Academy.
When they arrived at the Knight Academy, Suldak asked Samira, Andrew, and Gulitem to wait for him at the street-facing open-air restaurant opposite the academy gate. He ordered some Helensa special pine nut cakes and other refreshments for the three of them, and then
Entered the Knight Academy.
He did not go directly to the teaching office of the Knight Academy to apply for graduation, but found Assistant Professor Pablo.
Seeing Surdak standing in front of him wearing a magic pattern structure, Assistant Coach Pablo was surprised, crossed his hands on his chest, and asked with envy: "Knight Surdak, I heard that you
Are you going to join the war in the Maka plane with the guard battalion?"
"yes!"
Wearing the ‘Earth Shield’ magic pattern structure, Suldak stood in the office of the third-year school department and attracted much attention.
Assistant Professor Pablo quickly pulled Suldak out of the office and said excitedly: "This victory in the war on the Maca plane is well done! Bena Province... needs such a big victory to boost the morale of the army.
"
He looked at Surdak seriously and said: "I haven't seen you for two months, and you are already a construct knight! This time you return to the Knight Academy, counting... you have been in the academy for six months, right?
Are you applying for graduation?”
Suldak answered directly: "That's right."
Assistant Professor Pablo nodded and said, "The dean just gave me instructions the day before yesterday. If you come to the Knight Academy to complete the graduation procedures, I want to see you."
Suldak did not expect that the dean wanted to see him, so he asked Assistant Professor Pablo: "The dean wants to see me, do you know anything about it?"
Assistant Professor Pablo shook his head vigorously, and whispered to Suldak: "Since the dean personally came forward, it should be a good thing!"
…
In the dean's office, Assistant Professor Pablo stood on the soft velvet carpet with a smile on his face.
In addition to Assistant Pablo, there is also Instructor Milono in the office. Although Instructor Milono is Suldak's instructor, Surdak rarely sees him even when he is taking cultural classes at Knight Academy.
He, so the two of them were not familiar with each other, so they just looked at each other and then changed their gaze.
The dean stood up, walked to Surdak, looked at him with a smile and said: "Only war is the best yardstick to test whether a knight is qualified. In view of your outstanding performance in Wozhimara City in the Maca plane,
Well done, Knight Surdak, congratulations on graduating from the Knight Academy with honors!"
After speaking, the female assistant beside him handed a roll of parchment to Surdak.
Suldak stretched out his hand to take it and said respectfully:
“Thank you, Mr. Dean.”
When the dean smiled, his eyes almost squeezed together. He combed his slightly sparse hair with his hands, and said with a big belly: "Although you have only studied in the Knight Academy for just six months, after all, you are from the sea.
A knight who graduated from the Lanza Knight Academy, so I want to frame your sketch and hang it in the Academy's Hall of Fame, are you willing?"
"It's my honor!" Surdak didn't expect that the dean would see him for this matter, so he quickly replied that there would be no loss anyway.
When the dean heard that Suldak readily agreed, he sat back on the armchair and said, "Well, I have a meeting to attend, and Pablo will help you with the rest..."
…
Surdak took Gubolama back to the dormitory to collect some gifts. He heard cheerful footsteps in the corridor. Soon, the sound of discussion came from next door. Surdak recognized that it was Lina and Nedra's.
Hearing the sound, he put his belongings into the magic waist bag, looked at the empty room, and locked the door.
The key to this dormitory still needs to be returned to the dormitory administrator downstairs, but before that, he still needs to say goodbye to these two neighbors who get along well.
He walked to the door of the next dormitory, reached out and knocked on the open door. In the room, Lina and Nedra were discussing around a book. When they saw Suldak suddenly appearing outside the door, the two girls looked...
I was overjoyed and almost yelled with excitement.
Suldak chatted with the two girls for a while, and then explained the purpose of his visit. He was saying goodbye to the two girls.
Linna didn't expect that Surdak would get the graduation certificate from the Knight Academy so quickly. She opened her mouth slightly and said in surprise: "Ah, Knight Surdak, you want it so soon."
Have you graduated?"
Suldak nodded, shook the key in his hand, and said to the two girls: "I have packed up the room, and I will hand over the key later!"
Nedra, who was next to her, suddenly looked melancholy and said in a low voice: "I'm really reluctant to let you go. You haven't taught us the skinning technique yet..."
Surdak said to this shy girl: "Nedra has done a great job. You have learned the theoretical knowledge very well. What you lack is practical experience. You can only keep trying during the experience."
Only with practice can you become a qualified skinner."
The three of them crowded on the narrow terrace at the end of the corridor, looking at the east area of the Knight Academy. Suldak asked the two girls: "By the way, what are your plans for the future? I mean after graduation..."
“I plan to join an adventure group after graduation and travel around the world while I’m young,” Lina said cheerfully.
It seems that it must have been thought of long ago.
"Probably she will get married! She probably has to follow the family arrangements." Nedra whispered: "Knight Suldak, what about you?"
Surdak looked in the direction of Wall Village and said: "If nothing else happens, I will serve as the peace officer in the deserted land outside the Paglos Pass. If you want to go to the deserted land, you can
Come to me anytime!"
Lina did not expect that Surdak would become the Sheriff of the Desolate Land, and said:
“Ah, do you really want to go to such a remote place?”
Suldak nodded slightly and said:
“Actually, my home is over there.”
After saying a few blessings before saying goodbye to the two girls, Surdak waved his hand, turned around and walked along the corridor of the dormitory building toward the stairs.
Just when Surdak was about to go down the stairs, Linna caught up a few steps and shouted to Surdak:
"Oh, by the way, Knight Surdak, I almost forgot to tell you that during the time when you were out on duty in the guard camp, two young female swordsmen always came to the academy to see you. They don't seem to be from Helensa.
."
Suldak was stunned for a moment, stopped and turned around and asked: "Lina, do you know their names?"
Lina and Nedra looked at each other, then shook their heads at the same time.
Nedra added: "Instructor Darcy Christie seems to know them..."
Suldak nodded, turned around and walked down the stairs without asking any more questions.
