The surface of Crescent Lake is covered with a thick layer of ice, and after being covered with snow, it becomes a flat land.
Lord Grover sat on a rock and demonstrated the use of the Holy Seal to Surdak. Of course, Lord Grover's Holy Seal fell on his body, and Surdak could clearly feel the powerful feeling.
Suffocating power.
"The Holy Seal is just a short-term increase in power?"
Seeing Lord Grover split a rock in half, Suldak couldn't help but say.
Knight Grover nodded and explained: "To put it simply, the qi that the warrior will feel will become the fighting spirit, and the qi that the knight will feel will form the holy seal."
He seemed to have forgotten something, then suddenly thought of it again, patted his forehead hard and said: "Oh! By the way, magicians like to call the energy felt in our bodies as non-attributed magic elements.
The energy activates the magic pattern array to form a short-term increase in ability, which is the holy seal. There are many known holy seals at present, such as the blood seal, the justice seal, the wisdom seal, the command seal, etc. We do not need all of them as knights.
Learn everything..."
He paused for a moment, and then said: "A knight cannot be as proficient in magic as a magician, just like this..."
"You must first understand the existence of Qi, and then guide them to exist in your body and flow continuously in your body, just like the blood in your body. However, your condition is probably different from that of ordinary knights.
The difference is that you can perceive magical elements with sacred attributes. Compared with a knight, you are more like a fighting priest in a temple. You may have to look for opportunities to break through the second turn in the magic level like magicians. Then
It’s not an easy task.”
The morning sun rises from the mountains, a light frost mist floats on the ice lake, and the woods on both sides of the ice lake are hung with white rime.
Surdak faced the rising sun, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked Knight Grover: "The level of magic?"
Knight Grover nodded and said: "The level of magic is probably the degree to which you control the power of the Holy Light. Magicians call it elemental affinity. I think there may be some records in this regard in the library of the Magic Guild. I am
I don’t know about magic, so I can’t help you solve your doubts in this regard.”
Suldak listened very carefully. He felt that the Holy Seal spoken by Lord Grover was no different from the Rune Language he learned. Both can enhance certain abilities of the body in a short period of time, but it seems that the effect of Rune Language is somewhat
weak……
'El'
Surdak casually recited a rune language, and felt a halo of light appear between his hands, and then gradually integrated into his body. The originally blurry shore on the other side of the lake became clear at this moment, and his field of vision was only slightly enhanced.
And this kind of magic power can only last for a short while. Suldak asked: "Knight Grover, is this a holy seal?"
Seeing Suldak skillfully uttering a strange curse, and a force enveloped his body, Knight Grover was slightly startled and said: "You actually understood the Holy Seal, but the effect seems to be weak.
Some..."
"Speaking of which, you have already half-stepped into the world of second-level powerhouses. As long as you make a breakthrough in magic, you may become the first great knight in Bena Province to master the power of the Holy Light." Gro.
The Great Knight Buddha patted Surdak on the shoulder and said excitedly.
The two stood side by side on the shore of the lake. The gate of Constantinople in the distance opened, and groups of cavalry lined up from the city.
Grand Knight Grover's Constructed Knights are returning to Constantinople, and Surdak is also returning to the city with the Constructed Knights.
Except for a section of the northwest wall that was blown down by a fire phosphorus bomb, there was no damage to Constantinople. The bandits had no plans to attack the city. Almost all the citizens in the city did not sleep well last night, and the city still seemed in chaos during the day.
of.
Some citizens gathered in the square to inquire about what happened last night. They saw pairs of cavalry regiments leaving the city one after another. They knew that something big was about to happen, and they wanted to know the inside information.
When Surdak returned to the hotel, Aphrodite had just gotten up.
She ordered a breakfast in the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel and sat elegantly by the window, eating apple pie and drinking milk tea while looking at the busy street, as if she was not worried about her identity as a succubus.
see through.
Surdak sat down on the seat opposite her, waved to the waiter, and ordered a piece of wheat cake and broth. Although he looked tired, he still smiled and asked Aphrodite: "Aren't you afraid of this?"
Have you been spotted by those demon hunters?"
Aphrodite's smile is particularly charming, and her black-purple eyes have a seductive charm. Although she is wearing a loose long skirt, her figure cannot be seen, but her lazy posture
, even if I sit in the corner of the restaurant on the first floor, there are still people frequently looking towards the corner.
Aphrodite wrinkled her nose and said somewhat willfully: "The demon hunters are busy going to the dense forest to catch those who are trying to escape from Constantine City. No one will notice me now. Besides, I am not without cover. You see."
A succubus with no horns on her head, wings or tail behind her?"
If everything goes well, Suldak planned to leave Constantinople after breakfast, so he didn't care too much and just said to the succubus with a smile: "Of course, isn't this beautiful lady in front of me...?"
Aphrodite lowered her head and ate the last piece of apple pie, wiped her fingers and asked, "Last night was going well?"
Suldak sighed and said: "I was identified and treated behind me all night. Now I just want to lie in bed and have a good sleep."
At this time, the waiter brought Surdak's portion of scones and broth. Surdak wolfed these foods into his empty stomach. Before he could finish the last bit of wheat cake, people in the hotel lobby were occupied.
A group of knights hurriedly pushed away, and several seriously injured people were lying on stretchers. They were carried to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel. Some people kept poking their heads towards the restaurant, but those knights were too embarrassed to rush in immediately.
Come in.
Aphrodite pursed her lips and smiled, covered her lips with her hands and said, "It seems that you can't sleep, so I won't disturb your work!"
Suldak touched his somewhat heavy forehead. At this moment, he even had the urge to lie down on a chair in the dining room and take a nap.
The group of knights were at least polite on the surface. They did not rush into the restaurant, but waited anxiously in the hotel lobby, looking expectantly.
Suldak knew that this matter could not be avoided, so he had to call the waiter on the side and ask him to inform the hotel lobby manager to arrange rooms for these wounded people. They could not lie alone in the hotel lobby with so many stretchers in the lobby.
, who dares to stay here!
The hotel lobby manager seemed to be aware of this problem. After being reminded by Suldak, he immediately arranged the injured people to rooms on the first floor.
At this time, Surdak also hurriedly finished his breakfast. Aphrodite went upstairs without looking back and continued to sleep. However, Surdak still had to bear the strong sleepiness to help those who were injured in the battle last night.
People treatment.
At this time, the person who came over to chat with Surdak was also known to Surdak.
It was Lady Annabelle's son, Baron Iman Owen, who helped Surdak obtain the purchase order for the firearms workshop. He also looked haggard, with some blood stains on his leather armor. When he saw Surdak
Ke walked out of the restaurant and hurried to greet him.
"Long time no see, Iman!" Surdak greeted him.
The two hugged each other.
Iman Owen did not say the request immediately, but greeted him: "Long time no see, Suldak, I didn't expect you to be in Constantinople at this time. Are you here to discuss the sulfur mine business?"
Surdak smiled and said: "Actually, I purchased some standard full-coverage armor from the trading company in Constantinople. I am currently preparing to gradually establish a cavalry battalion."
Iman Owen did not expect that Surdak actually purchased armor, and said in surprise: "Our business happens to have this business."
Then he said: "Well, I'm running into a little trouble now. I heard someone said you could help, so I came here to look for you!"
Surdak saw several knights carrying the stretchers in the hall into the hotel room, and asked him: "You mean the wounded?"
Iman Owen nodded awkwardly. As a nobleman of the Owen family, he seemed to have never begged for help. At this time, he seemed a little embarrassed in front of Suldak.
Suldak almost didn't stop. He walked directly to a stretcher, checked on the wounded lying on the stretcher, and said as he looked:
"Let me check first. Each seriously injured person needs a first-level monster head. The lightly injured person can be treated directly!"
He followed the stretcher and saw that these wounded people seemed to have some bruises on their bodies, and the wounds looked even more terrible. They must have been hit by fire scale bombs.
Iman Owen followed Suldak with a grateful look on his face and said, "I have prepared the head of the monster!"
Suldak nodded to Iman Owen and said: "Then treat it, I can only do my best..."
Those who were qualified to lie on a stretcher and be carried directly to the hotel were indeed seriously injured. This time, Iman Owen was very well prepared and directly carried two large magic sealing boxes into the room.
Inside, after opening the box, it was filled with monster heads.
Surdak decisively re-blessed himself with the blessing of the 'Eye of Truth' of the 'Blessed Body', and then cheered up and started to continue the treatment work. Every time a wounded person came over, Surdak would come to the door.
Take a break and chat with Iman Owen outside the door.
During the chat, I learned that these wounded people were all master craftsmen in the firearms workshop, and they were all senior craftsmen who mastered the recipes for the production process of fire scale bullets. During the treatment process, two wounded people with extremely serious injuries died directly.
On the stretchers, Suldak put linen cloths over their heads.
After being busy until noon, Suldak sat in the rest area of the hotel lobby, almost exhausted, and finally completed all the treatment.
Iman Owen placed a bottle of light blue potion on the square table in front of Suldak.
Surdak asked curiously: "What is this?"
"Psychic potion is said to be able to restore mental strength very quickly and relieve excessive fatigue!" Iman Owen explained, his eyes full of gratitude.
Suldak didn't hesitate, unscrewed the cap and poured it into his stomach.
He drank this thing in the Maca plane, which can enhance his mental power. Now his mental power is on the verge of exhaustion. He drinks a bottle of mental power potion and draws the rune language 'Ais' in front of him. This rune can
Improves mental recovery in a short time.
Seeing the holy seal on Surdak's body, the admiration in Iman Owen's eyes became even more obvious.
"Even if you don't come, I still want to visit Lady Annabelle." Suldak said: "Hathaway wrote a letter to Lady Annabelle and asked me to hand it to Lady Annabelle."
Iman Owen looked at Suldak in shock and asked in surprise: "Do you know Hathaway?"
Suldak sat up straight and said to Iman Owen: "Three weeks ago, Hathaway accepted my proposal!"
Iman Owen was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a long time. He stared at Suldak for a long time and then said: "...Oh my God, I didn't hear any news about all this. It turns out that we are actually
relative."
However, he did not dwell on this matter. He just waved to the waiters in the hotel and asked them to bring him two drinks.
Iman Owen was not in a hurry to leave. The two of them drank golden cider and talked about what happened in Bena City, including the details of Suldak's proposal to Hathaway at the ball and Suldak's creation of a cavalry battalion.
things.
Iman Owen said with some regret: "You should meet your mother or me first. Maybe you don't have to pay so many gold coins to buy those full-coverage armors. Although this money cannot be completely exempted, after all, everyone in the Owen family is involved.
benefits, but a discount is still okay, you probably need some other supplies, right?"
"Almost everything has been purchased!" Suldak said.
Iman Owen said enthusiastically: "That's okay. I'm very familiar with the person in charge of the trading company. After you have a rest, you and I will go to the trading company to ask him for a discount, and then return the extra magic crystals.
!”
Suldak waved his hand and said: "Actually, it's completely unnecessary. I still want to continue to cooperate with the trading company. If I keep taking advantage of the Owen family, how can I continue to trade in the future... By the way, the attackers who attacked Constantinople
Where did those bandits come from? Is there any news?"
"Aren't you those damn Tarbei hillbillies? Lord MacDonnell finally couldn't bear it anymore and actually exposed his fox's tail and began to shamelessly rob the resources of the surrounding cities. This time when he came to Constantinople, he hit the iron wall.
It’s on the board.” Iman Owen said with a cold smile.
"you know?"
Suldak did not expect that the Owen family would find out the mastermind behind it so quickly, and the name Lord MacDonnell sounded familiar to him. It seemed that this was the mastermind who sent hidden hunters to kidnap Mrs. Dorothy in Bena City.
Lord.
Iman Owen nodded, took a sip of golden cider, and lowered his voice and said to Suldak: "Of course, there is no bandit group within the territory of Bena Province that can make such a big move. We have already caught it."
We have found some bandits, and the guard camp has opened their mouths. They are all from Tarbei."
After that, he introduced the situation in Bena Province to Suldak:
"Everyone knows that Marquis McDonnell is the great lord of the northern region of Tarapagan. He is a staunch supporter of Duke Newman's expedition to the Warsaw plane this time. However, when troops were sent into the Warsaw plane, the Bena Army did not
An army from Tarbei. At that time, a small-scale counter-rebellion was going on in the Ganbu plane. Now Duke Newman's main army is stranded in the Warsaw plane. Lord MacDonnell applied to the Bena Province to apply for Talapa.
regional autonomy, but this proposal was rejected by the House of Representatives.”
"In the past year, the Tarbei region has not made any contribution to the plane war, and they occupy the portal of the Ganbu plane. At first, they only used gold coins to purchase various resources in the province. Now they are openly selling to the surrounding areas.
The city bared its fangs and robbed it like a bandit. If our Constructed Knights hadn't come back just at this time, they might have succeeded in robbing the firearms workshop last night."
Unexpectedly, the lords in Bena Province were also full of contradictions. Without Duke Newman sitting in Bena City, these lords were obviously unable to suppress it.
Suldak thought of the Bena Province House of Representatives and asked Iman: "What countermeasures does the Bena Province House of Representatives have?"
Iman shook his head and said: "It can't be so fast. What happened here has been reported. It will take at least several days for the resolution of Bena City to be conveyed. Of course, we Constantinople people must retaliate with tooth for tooth and eye for eye."
.Twenty cavalry regiments have already gone out of the city to encircle and suppress those bandits, as well as a small group of magicians. If they are all annihilated in the mountains, it can only be because these 'bandits' were unlucky and offended the wrong people."
Suldak couldn't help but ask again: "Well, Marquis Owen, aren't you afraid that conflicts will continue to intensify?"
Iman also said very forcefully: "What does it matter... What should be intensified has already been intensified. We are just a group of innocent people who are being persecuted. We hope that Duke Newman will return from the Warsaw plane as soon as possible. Today's Bena Province is already rotten."
Looks like it."
It seems that chasing these 'robbers' was a unanimous decision of the high-ranking nobles of Constantinople.
However, this is enough to show that the Owen family's control over Constantinople is at least much higher than that of the Christie family in Hiranza.
