Walking on the long street of Duodan Town, Xiya looked at the roofs covered with thick snow in the distance, like a thick snow-white quilt.
The shops on the street in the town are not very neatly built, but in just six months, the originally depressed town street has become very lively. Xia was holding a paper bag in her hand, which contained a pack of dried kelp. She put the paper bag
Put it in front of you and gently smell the salty smell on it, which is the smell of the sea.
Nika introduced this border town to Thea and met many townspeople along the way. When everyone saw Nika and Signa, they would take the initiative to say hello.
The two girls are the saints of the Dawn Temple and the Night Temple respectively. They have a special status in the town. No matter where they go, people know them.
Duodan Town is built on the south side of the canyon. Standing in the town, you can see the towering cliffs on both sides hanging above your head, giving you a strong sense of oppression.
"The owner is the mayor of this town. He happened to go to Wilkes City to solve the issue of territorial development rights at that time. You are so lucky to meet him at that time!" Nika said to Thea.
Wan sighed again: "You've been gone for so long, is it really okay?"
Siya knocked on her legs that were stiff from the cold, shook her head and said, "It's okay, it's a little sore, but it doesn't matter. It turns out that Viscount Surdak is the mayor of this town..."
She thought about how she was hiding under the bridge over the inner river in Wilkes City and Suldak rode away without a care, and she felt her heart beat violently.
Nika thought for a moment, and when passing by the tailor shop, she still pulled Siya in.
Epperson, the owner of the tailor shop, had just met Mayor Suldak in the town hall. When he saw Signa and Nika walking in from the outside, he quickly greeted them warmly.
When they first arrived in Dodan Town, Nika and Xigna rented a single-story building owned by Epson, the owner of a tailor shop. They knew this tailor who liked to make small calculations.
"Good afternoon, Miss Signa, Nika, how can I help you?"
The tailor shop owner asked the clerk to go inside and bring out a few cups of milk tea.
"Um, we want to buy Miss Thea a fitted thick skirt. She came from Wilkes City and has not prepared any clothes suitable for winter." Nika said calmly.
The owner of the tailor shop hurriedly took the three girls to the second floor. As he walked, he said: "Three beautiful ladies, please go this way. There are finished dresses upstairs, from the petticoat inside to the waistband to the outside.
A thick woolen skirt, gloves, and a hat, I have everything here.”
Walking up to the second floor, it turns out that the walls on this floor are covered with all kinds of finished clothes, and the tailor shop owner has arranged them very neatly.
The clothes inside were all very exquisite. Xigna liked the princess dress hanging in the corner very much. She stared at the lace tutu skirt for a long time, but in the end she looked away and accompanied Siya to look for it.
Clothes that fit her body size.
I almost chose a whole set from the inside out.
Siya's figure is very well-proportioned, making it very easy to choose women's clothing of the right size.
However, Nika thought that she would have to pay for herself later, and the silver coins she finally saved in her pocket would probably no longer belong to her, so she chose among these dresses, trying to find the most cost-effective one.
Maybe save some money.
"You have really good taste..." the tailor shop owner praised from the side.
Nika pointed to the clothes worn by the mermaid girl Sia and asked: "So how much do these clothes cost?"
"As you wish..." The owner of the tailor shop had no intention of charging money at first, but he was worried that it would be too obvious and would make the three girls turn around and leave, so he changed his words and said: "...Oh, the tailor shop is doing a discount promotion, these few items combined
A total of five silver coins and thirty-nine copper plates."
"Oh, it's so cheap!" Nika said in surprise.
She remembered that the skirt she was wearing cost four silver coins, and Siya bought a complete set including a petticoat and corset...
"Our store is on sale, this is a discounted price." The tailor shop owner said seriously.
Nika took out her purse, picked out some copper coins and silver coins and paid it to the tailor shop owner. She was not that stupid. Then she whispered to the tailor shop owner: "Thank you, Boss Epperson."
Epperson bent down slightly and said enthusiastically to the three girls:
"It is my greatest honor for you to come to me to buy clothes!"
Before the three girls left, they stuffed three big red apples into Nika's pockets for them to eat on the way.
Just after the three girls left the tailor shop, a customer standing nearby asked strangely: "Boss, aren't you doing a promotion here? Why don't you give me a cheaper price?"
The owner of the tailor shop said without changing his face: "Sorry, the discount event has just ended."
The customer shouted: "Your event is too short."
Boss Epson walked downstairs without looking back and motioned to the clerk next to him to receive the customer. He said at the same time: "These breeches for fifteen silver coins are already the cheapest on the whole street. If you think you still want to consider it,
, you can go to other stores to choose..."
When the customer heard what the Epson boss said, he quickly said: "That's it! Are there really no promotional discounts?"
The clerk smiled and said to him: "No more, customer."
…
There are similar markets in the cities of the Janna Sea Clan.
Although Siya is a Janna mermaid, the tailor shop owner made it so obvious that she could tell at a glance that the tailor shop owner was trying to please them.
She knew that there was no need for the tailor shop owner to please her, he must be trying to please Signa and Nika.
Viscount Suldak is the mayor of this town, and he seems to be very respected! Nika thought to herself.
Signa and Nika took Thea to the military camp. The guard at the gate saw Signa and said familiarly: "Xigna, are you here to see Mrs. Selina? She goes to the city defense brigade.
I went to the warehouse to check the supplies..."
Xigna waved her hand politely and said in a sweet voice: "I'll wait for her inside!"
The guards ignored them and allowed the three girls to walk into the military camp.
"Viscount Suldak is the commander of this garrison." Nika explained to Thea in a low voice.
Inside the military camp, 1,500 infantrymen were practicing in formation on the playground.
The snow on the playground has been cleared around, and the infantrymen are wearing standard armor, looking majestic.
Xigna walked to a small building in a familiar manner, opened the door and walked in. As she walked, she said: "Every time Dak brings back a monster, he puts it in the kitchen for skinning. I'll go and see what's there in the kitchen."
There’s no leather left…”
She passed through the corridor and went directly to the kitchen of the small building.
She rarely went to that kitchen, mainly because the kitchen walls were covered in blood stains and looked a bit scary.
When passing by the study room, she glanced inside out of habit and saw Suldak signing orders at his desk.
In the past two months, he has led the expedition north, and the military camp has accumulated a large amount of documents that need to be signed.
"Dake, why are you here too?" Xigna was shocked.
Suldak raised the quill in his hand and said, "I'm just about to review these backlogged documents."
Seeing Nika and Siya following Xigna, he asked: "Have you had lunch? Do you want me to prepare something for you?"
Xigna thought it would be better to make things simpler, so she squeezed in through the crack in the door and said, "Dak, can you help me with something?"
Suldak sat up straight, put the quill in his hand into the ink bottle, and asked seriously: "What do you need me to do for you?"
Xigna whispered: "I need some magic parchment or something, which is the material for making magic scrolls."
"You want to learn how to make magic scrolls?" Surdak asked in surprise.
Xigna nodded and said: "Nika, Siya, I and I both want to try..."
"That's all?" Surdak asked.
Xigna nodded quickly: "Yes!"
Suldak took off the money bag from his waist and threw it directly to Nika without even looking at how much money was in it. When Nika caught it, it felt heavy inside.
"Nika, go to the grocery store in town and buy some magic parchment, a magic engraving pen and ink. I believe the owner of the grocery store will tell you what kind of ink is more suitable for you." Suldak said.
.
Nika opened the purse, and the yellow gold coins inside dazzled Nika...
"Okay, Master." Nika said cheerfully.
Surdak's eyes fell on Janna mermaid Siya standing at the door, and asked: "Are you Miss Siya?"
"Good afternoon, Lord Surdak..." Siya quickly bowed in greeting.
Surdak nodded and said, "So you can turn into a human. I hope you have a good time in Dodan Town."
When the three girls left the small building, Suldak warned Xigna:
"Xigna, don't play out too late."
…
When passing by the empty field outside the military camp, I happened to see a row of armed Thunder Rhinos with their heads lowered and gnawing beans. A whole sack of beans was gently sucked by the Thunder Rhino's fleshy mouth, and its wet big tongue was gently licked inside.
Roll up and eat a bag of beans.
Seeing the armed Thunder Rhinoceros, Siya couldn't help but think: "So there are such huge war beasts on land..."
This reminded her of the killer whale knights of the Sea Tribe. Perhaps these armed thunder rhino are the whale knights of the Human Empire.
"These armed Thunder Rhinoceros are also part of Viscount Surdak's army..." Nika explained from the side.
Xigna and Nika took Thea to the magic grocery store in the town. Thea was a little distracted, and she didn't even notice the dazzling array of shops on both sides of the street.
She felt that she should seek help from Lord Surdak, and perhaps ask him to take her back to the sea.
But Thea also knows that if it happens casually... then it doesn't matter.
But if this matter is going to be very troublesome, Lord Surdak cannot help him for nothing. Maybe he can exchange it for equal value...
Thinking of this, a water ball appeared in Siya's hand. The capital she had now should be the water magic she was familiar with. She decided to have a good talk with Viscount Surdak that night.
…
Of course, Surdak didn't know that Janna Mermaid had the idea of working for him at this time.
Selina has already placed the report on the consumption of logistical supplies on his desk. He invested almost all the wealth earned by the beast tide into this Northern Expedition. Thunder Rhinoceros transported back a large amount of Warcraft materials and more than a dozen boxes.
Elementary magic herbs and dozens of boxes of magic cores seemed to be a rich harvest.
In fact, Surdak didn't earn anything,
The pension will be three huge expenditures for the damage of ordnance and the redemption of merit. The biggest loss is the damage of ordnance. Each bed crossbow is almost as good as a set of magic pattern structure. The forty bed crossbows purchased this time can fully
Xu Quanwei brought back only eleven from the battlefield, and seven more catapults. The rest could only be dismantled for parts.
The only thing he earned was more than 300 life magic patterns.
However, these magic patterns are not for sale. Although they are of great value, Surdak is not prepared to sell them. These magic patterns also need to strengthen his cavalry battalion.
After more than two months of excavation, almost all the iron wood buried in the leaf rot soil for many years has been dug out.
Except for a part of the main trunk, Surdak, which is planned to stay, the rest will be transported back to Halanza City by land. This part of the income can be regarded as coming to an end.
Of course, there is an iron ore mine in the territory that has not yet been developed.
The mine is located in the eastern part of Invercargill Forest, near the Three Rivers Plain.
He planned to take it slow first. After the army had recuperated for a period of time, he wanted to explore the Anya Swamp before the ground thawed. If possible, he would push the safety line of the Anya Swamp two hundred kilometers westward.
Waiting until spring, once the spring flowers bloom and everything revives, it may not be easy to enter the Anya Swamp.
Anya Swamp will gather a large number of Warcraft. After the beast tide subsides, these Warcraft will gradually return to the Invercargill Warcraft Forest. Suldak also wants to build a barracks there, at least not to let those Warcraft roam freely.
Entering Invercargill Forest.
Looking at the map on the wall, the Anya Swamp area is still blank.
Surdak will go on another expedition and needs to stockpile a new batch of war preparation materials.
Selina is now counting the loot in the warehouse. A business group has already approached her to discuss the specific costs of transporting this batch of materials back to Bena City. Many business groups hope to buy these hard armors.
However, Surdak has an agreement with the Gophero family. The leather business must take care of the Gophero family's leather business as much as possible, so all these hard armor leathers must be transported back to Bena City.
…
Surdak stepped through the Void Gate, waved to Aphrodite who was lying beside the lava pool, chopped some red crystal stone clusters next to the stone pillar, put them into a linen bag, and entered through the cracks in the rocks.
Go to the red dragon's treasure chamber and prepare to continue teaching the rune language of Iser.
The huge head of the red dragon Iser lay on the stone platform, looking at the exquisite dragon knight saddle in a daze.
It wasn't until Surdak was holding a linen bag and standing next to its huge head that it raised its head and asked Surdak: "Dak, is this armor for me to wear?"
"Are you talking about this set of saddle covers for the Dragon Knight?" Suldak walked over, patted the saddle cover made of pure gold, and said.
He was a little afraid to look at the magic patterns carved on it. Every time he looked at it, it would cause a huge shock in the sea of spiritual consciousness.
"The last time you summoned me to that cold plane, when I held you and flew across the swamp, I thought of this set of armor. It belongs to the dragon knight, right?" Israel raised his head, a little irritated.
ask.
"Probably not needed now!" Suldak sat next to Yiser, opened the bag, took out red crystal pillars more than one meter long, and threw them into Yiser's bag like biscuits.
mouth, and then said casually: "Perhaps it will only be used when we form a dragon knight..."
