In the dark stable, a bug slowly climbed up along the pillar...
The ancient Bolai horse that followed Surdak from the battlefield stood silently in the stable eating the fodder in the manger.
Since its leg was broken on the training ground two months ago, it has been raised in the stable for nearly two months. The Gubo horse snorted in boredom and used its ponytail to sweep away the stray animals flying around its buttocks.
A few flies seemed to be thinking about how long this boring life would last.
Suddenly, a familiar figure flashed across Gubolai Ma's sight. He raised his head alertly and saw Suldak walking towards it from outside the stable.
It began to pave the ground non-stop, snort and flick its tail to welcome Suldak's arrival.
Suldak walked into the stables and immediately saw the horses that had gone through life and death together on the battlefield...
He walked up to it, and Gubolai Ma put its head into Surdak's arms and licked his face with its wet tongue.
Suldak hugged it affectionately and rubbed its soft mane with his hands.
The broken leg has healed, and even because of the strengthening scroll, the leg is stronger than before. There are several blood-stained magic lines on the edge of the scar, just like the pattern on its original skin.
A stable manager brought Surdak's saddle cover and put on the exquisite saddle. Surdak found that this ancient Bolai horse was much stronger than before, and the original buttonholes on the saddle's buckle were no longer there.
Once it fits, I loosen it two inches and then just barely tighten the buckle.
The Gubola horse couldn't wait to get out of the stable. Suldak led it for two laps in the running track in front of the stable. Seeing that its body seemed to be moving, he turned over and sat on the horse.
“Old man, I’m here to pick you up, let’s go home!” Surdak leaned over and said in its ear.
Guborama seemed to understand what Suldak said. It shook its head, neighed, and ran towards the gate of the knight training ground.
The guard standing at the door quickly opened the door and gave a standard knightly salute to Surdak.
The streets of Halanza City are a bit narrow, and many alleys cannot be passed by magic caravans. Therefore, some nobles still maintain the habit of riding horses when going out.
Andrew, Samira, and the ogre Gulitem were waiting outside the academy. Andrew and Samira stood against the wall. Perhaps it was because in Wozhimara City, the Maca natives and the poor people of the empire were already hostile.
Due to their relationship, the two of them seldom communicated with each other. Samira was carefully calibrating the bow string of the alloy bow. The back of the alloy bow was polished very smooth, and the handshake was inlaid with cork, which looked very delicate.
Andrew wrapped the ax he was carrying behind him with linen strips. Looking from the outside, he could only see the rough outline of the ax.
The ogre sat on the ground leaning against the corner. Only by sitting here would he not be so eye-catching. When he saw Surdak walking out of the Knight Academy on horseback, the ogre...
“Let’s go, let’s take you to try the best barbecue in Helena City...”
Ogre Gurlitm stood up from the ground in an instant, and his strong body like a mountain of flesh immediately scared away several passers-by.
…
Due to the ogre Gulitum, everyone could not eat in the lobby on the first floor of the restaurant. The restaurant manager was worried that Gulitum might frighten the guests dining in the lobby, so he politely asked Karl to agree.
, the group's dining location was changed to the backyard on the first floor of the Three Bears Restaurant, and they ensured that the environment there was also very good and clean, and that no one would break in and disturb them.
In the early spring season, many vines and trees have not yet sprouted their buds, making the yard look somewhat desolate.
The restaurant manager asked several waiters to place two large dining tables in the courtyard, and hired two chefs to be responsible for the barbecue dishes here. He also recommended the grilled whole beef ribs and whole steaks to the ogre Gulitem.
Outside the spine, these roasts take a while, but it doesn't affect the ogres from enjoying their dinner at all.
The most unique thing about Three Bears Barbecue Restaurant is that you order first when you enter, and many of the barbecues are placed on the grill and are already cooked, so the ogre first ordered a batch of medium-rare steaks. The steaks here
The size is moderate, and the ogre can eat one piece in one bite, and he ate the barbecue for ten people in one go just after the dinner started.
Karl glanced at Surdak with some sympathy. After all, Surdak's promise to Gulitem was to have enough food, but now it seems that the ogre has such a big appetite, even if Surdak will
All the salary given to the ogre by the guard camp was exchanged for food, which was probably not enough to fill his stomach.
Karl glanced at Andrew and Samira next to him and thought to himself: Fortunately, there are finally two normal ones.
There was a grilled fish and a plate of fruit salad on the plate in front of the half-elf archer. When she bent down to eat the fruit, she opened the linen hood, and the delicate elf-like profile appeared in front of Karl.
In front of him, Karl almost forgot that he was still cutting barbecue with a table knife in his hand. Later, Karl also discovered that Samira's ears were obviously different from those of elves, and the background color of her eyes was light red. This should be a sign of a fallen person.
.The bloodline of the fallen elves.
Suldak stepped on his foot hard under the table, which made Karl, who was looking at Samira in a daze, wake up. Karl realized that he might have just lost his temper, so he quickly picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the golden apple.
Drinking wine, taking the opportunity to cover up his embarrassment.
Then he shifted his gaze to Suldak's face and asked him:
“Have all the matters at the Knight Academy been finished?”
Suldak nodded.
Karl cut open the steak on the dinner plate and cut it into very neat cubes. Then he put the piece of meat into his mouth. While tasting the tender and juicy beef, he asked Suldak:
“When are you going to go back to Wall Village?”
Suldak said: "There are still some things to deal with tomorrow. If everything goes well, it will probably be the day after tomorrow."
Karl nodded. He knew that Surdak still had some friends in Helensa City, and he might have to say goodbye. He said to Surdak: "The security team can also receive an activity fund.
Don’t forget to go to the guard camp to collect the money before you leave.”
“Are there any funds for activities?” Surdak asked in surprise.
Karl said matter-of-factly: "Of course, your security team needs to have a formal office location outside the Pagros Pass. Of course, you have the final say where to choose it, but the security camp will give you a resettlement payment."
“That’s really good!” Surdak muttered.
After dinner, it was completely dark.
Suldak led everyone to the Garden Plaza Hotel.
The landlady is still at the reception desk, probably calculating the income and expenditure accounts. She does the calculations very carefully, checking every record twice.
Surdak opened the door and walked in, saying hello to the hotel owner who was sitting in the lounge area drinking tea. When the hotel owner saw the ogre following Surdak, he jumped up from the sofa in fright.
, asked Surdak with a horrified look on his face: "Su... Knight Surdak, is this... also your friend?"
“That’s right, it’s best to give him a spacious room on the first floor. If it’s on the second floor, I’m worried that he will trample on the floor of the second floor of the hotel!” Suldak said with a smile.
When the hotel proprietress heard someone pushing the door and walking into the hotel, she quickly put down the account book in her hand and prepared to stand up to receive the reception. When she saw that the person walking in from the outside was Suldak, she immediately asked kindly: "Oh!
Knight Surdak, I haven’t seen you for a long time. I heard that the guard battalion went to participate in the plane war?"
“Yes, in the past two months, I have been performing tasks outside with the guard battalion.” Suldak replied.
The hotel proprietress looked at the people behind Surdak, then gave Surdak four sets of keys and said: "The room number is written on the key plate. If you need hot water, it's best to tell him in advance...
.”
She did not say the last two sentences to Surdak, but to the three companions behind Surdak. When she saw the cannibal, she was not frightened like the hotel owner. Instead, she curiously talked to the cannibal.
The demon looked at each other for a while, then smiled at the ogre, and then looked away.
She held a small folding fan in her hand, fanned it twice casually, and sneered at Suldak: "This friend of yours is really strong..."
After saying that, he glanced at the ogre twice more, then twisted his plump hips and led a few people towards the empty room of the hotel.
“It will be good if you come back. I hope those thugs will restrain themselves or simply leave Helensa. Recently, the security in the city has been very chaotic. I heard that people often die in the slums..."
While she was chattering, she opened the door of a room on the first floor. This room on the first floor was very spacious.
The ogre stooped and walked into the room. He did not sit on the bed, but sat directly on the floor, looking at the furnishings in the room curiously.
…
The bright sunshine outside the window printed lines of light on the floor, and these light lines slowly crawled onto the bed.
Beatrice was awakened by a dazzling ray of sunlight. She lazily stretched out her white arms to block the sun. Her arms were a bit dazzlingly white under the sunlight.
At this time, she saw Hathaway wearing a nightgown, sitting on the wooden stool of the dressing table, reading a letter seriously.
“Letter from home? Is it urging you to go back?” Beatrice asked seriously.
Hathaway sighed, put the letter in her hand into the jewelry box, turned to her close friend and said, "Beatrice, I think we should go back."
Beatrice sat up from the bed, pulled the sling on her shoulders, looked out the window, and said, "Yes! The war in the Maca plane is almost over."
The two looked at each other speechlessly and smiled. Hathaway handed Beatrice a glass of hot milk on the table. Just as he was about to say "drink it while it's hot"... he heard someone knocking lightly on the bedroom door.
The door of the room.
“What’s the matter?” Hathaway asked directly.
She did not open the door, nor did she let the maid standing outside the door in.
The maid quickly said: "Miss Hathaway, someone is looking for you outside..."
Hathaway was a little strange. She and Beatrice didn't have many friends in Helensa City. She didn't know who would come to visit her early in the morning. According to aristocratic etiquette, such visits would usually be greeted in advance the day before, so as to avoid
There is no preparation here.
“It’s a gentleman knight...” The maid’s voice was a little soft.
…
This is a very exquisite villa next to the long street on the west side of the Magic Tower. It is located at the intersection of the wealthy area and the gathering place for magicians. Some magicians can often be seen in the nearby villa area, so the public security has always been very good.
Suldak stood beside the low shrub wall at the gate, looked at Hathaway and Beatrice running out of the door, and smiled at them.
Beatrice was wearing a thin nightgown and barefoot and ran out of the house first. She threw herself into Suldak's arms desperately.
Suldak patted Beatrice's bare back in the cold wind, nodded to Hathaway, who ran out behind, and stretched out his hand towards Hathaway.
Like good friends whom he has not seen for a long time, Hathaway hugged Suldak reservedly and then quickly separated.
Beatrice seemed very excited. She invited Suldak into the villa, and the three of them sat down on the sofa in the living room. The maids brought warm milk tea.
Suldak took the initiative and asked: "When did you two come?"
Beatrice and Hathaway sat opposite Suldak.
Beatrice's face was covered with red clouds, and she replied with a smile: "It has been more than two months, and we have spent the entire spring in Helensa City."
Suldak did not expect that they had lived in Halanza City for so long.
Thinking that they had failed to find him several times before, he said apologetically: "Sorry, the guard battalion has received a temporary assignment, and has not been in Helensa City recently..."
Hathaway sat on the sofa and said nothing.
But Beatrice was very talkative. She smiled at Suldak and said: "I didn't expect you to join the guard camp. Hathaway and I thought you would join the adventure group. By the way, how did you find this place?"
Yes? We never leave an address."
"I am now a knight in the guard camp of Helensa City. It will not be difficult to investigate two foreign noble ladies in Helensa City." Suldak said.
Beatrice glanced at Hathaway, and then boldly said:
“Mr. Knight, as the landowner of Helensa City, can you take us around Helensa City?”
Suldak thought for a while, and then agreed: "This is my honor!"
Beatrice pulled Hathaway and ran up the stairs quickly, saying:
"Knight Surdak, you may have to wait for us for a while..."
This little moment from Beatrice's mouth made Suldak wait for more than an hour. Just when the maid brought the seventh cup of hot tea to Surdak, the two ladies were wearing tight-fitting leather clothes.
A walked down the stairs.
“Actually, the most beautiful time in Helensa is in the autumn. When the oak forests all over the mountains and fields are covered with acorns, the scenery is the most beautiful..."
Suldak, Hathaway, and Beatrice walked out of the villa, and a magic caravan parked outside the door.
