At night, the dining room of Suldak's villa in Wall Village was brightly lit.
Surdak hosted a banquet for all the young knights in the Badlands Security Squadron.
The ten-meter-long oak table in the restaurant was filled with exquisite dishes. Surdak sat at the main seat. Daniela, the knight captain of the guard battalion, sat at the position closest to Surdak. The other knights lined up in sequence, five of them.
Ten people almost filled the entire long row of tables.
All the knights tried to lower their voices when speaking, everyone wanted to leave a good impression in front of Lord Surdak.
Knight Daniela seemed a little nervous, and he secretly glanced at the door of the restaurant.
Natasha and Rita brought three large plates of barbecue from the kitchen with a maid.
Until now, there is only one cook and one maid in the Suldak family, so Natasha and Rita are doing a lot of housework...
In fact, even Suldak contributed to this dinner. He was responsible for marinating the yellow lamb leg, which tasted pretty good after grilling.
When Rita passed by Daniela, she didn't even squint her eyes or give any hint to Daniela. Daniela was so nervous that she couldn't breathe. She couldn't help but loosen her collar, and then drank it.
He took the golden cider out of the glass and glanced at Suldak secretly.
"How is the security situation in the deserted land these days?"
Surdak lowered his head and asked Danila while cutting the roasted salamander meat.
Daniela quickly put down the knife in her hand and answered seriously:
"The desert bandits entered the deserted land several times, but they only operated south of the Great Rift Valley. They did not find any villages to rob, and we discovered their whereabouts. They did not dare to go too deep, so they left hastily. This happened several times."
Surdak nodded slightly, glanced at the knights at the table, and raised his voice and said:
"After this spring, you graduates will have served in the Deserted Land Guard Squadron for one year. The internship period here is officially over. According to the practice of the guard camp, you have the right to be transferred to other areas."
Suldak paused and then said to everyone: "If any of you have such an idea, you can let Daniela do the statistics. I will personally give you some recommendation letters. You can think about your wish to go to Hailan in advance.
Which squadron is in the Sa Guard Camp? I can say hello to each squadron leader in advance here."
Hearing what Surdak said, the knights sitting at the table immediately started discussing among themselves.
However, Cavaliers captain Daniella was the first to stand up and said seriously:
"I have been on patrol in the Wasteland for exactly one year. Now I am very familiar with the northern area of the Wasteland. I have basically adapted to the environment here. I want to stay and continue to guard the squadron in the Wasteland. This place is closely connected with the city of Halanza.
Compared with other suburban towns, the conditions in all aspects are actually not bad.”
"So, I want to stay!"
Cavaliers captain Daniela said.
Surdak smiled and said casually: "Oh, others can also talk about it, don't feel any pressure. In fact, I hope that more of you will choose to leave, so that the young people in the village can also
People can have the opportunity to enter the guard camp and become a reserve knight."
Seeing that the young guard camp knights at the dining table were all thinking for a moment, Suldak waved his hand again and said:
"Of course, if you want to stay, I also welcome you. This welcome is not verbal, but comes with some benefits in Wall Village. Accommodation will be provided in Wall Village, and you can choose to build one in the village.
For good townhouses, you can also ask the old village chief, Uncle Bright, to approve a piece of residential land and build a house according to your ideas."
The young knights in the guard camp started discussing again.
"Danila, you are their captain. I am glad that you are willing to stay."
After the dinner, Danila was left alone by Lord Surdak without any surprise, and the other knights of the guard battalion returned to the security center.
The matter between Captain Daniela and Rita was already a semi-open secret in Wall Village, so no one was surprised at all when they were left behind.
Surdak was sitting in the spacious living room, and Natasha brought sweet black tea.
Rita followed Natasha and brought over a plate of exquisite fruits and pastries. Suldak motioned for Danila to sit down, and then asked Natasha and Rita to sit down opposite her.
The wicker chair next to the fire was empty. Old Sheila had not been in good spirits recently and liked to go to bed early.
The crackling sound of burning firewood could be heard in the living room. Knight Daniela broke out in a thin sweat. He held the tea cup with some restraint and remained silent the entire time.
Surdak whispered a few words to Natasha, who immediately nodded, then turned and left.
Seeing Natasha leave the living room, Rita, who was originally relatively calm, seemed a little flustered at this moment.
Natasha gestured to Rita to go out if she had something to do, and asked her to stay in the living room.
The living room became quiet, and Suldak was silent for a while before he said to Danila: "Danila, don't you have anything to say to me about you and Rita?"
Knight Danila stood up immediately, blushing and said to Suldak in the living room:
"Lord Surdak, I know that my status is a bit humble. I am still just an ordinary knight in the guard camp. I hope to gain your recognition through my own efforts. Before I propose to Rita, I can gain your approval.
agree"
Surdak looked up at Danila in front of him, waved to him to sit down, and then said:
"As Rita's brother, I am very pleased that Rita chose an outstanding young man like you. Rita suffered a lot at home, but it was this experience that gave her many excellent qualities."
"Maybe she doesn't understand poetry, doesn't know how to dance, doesn't understand the complicated rules at the dance, or even isn't used to wearing those long evening gowns."
"But she is hard-working, brave, kind, optimistic, and perseverant. She is a very good girl."
"I agree, you can propose to Rita at any time."
"But here, as Rita's brother rather than a noble lord, what I want to say to you is that if you no longer love each other one day, I hope you can return Rita to us like a knight.
"
Rita's eyes were a little moist and her nose was red as she said: "Dak"
"Remember to come and see old Sheila during the day tomorrow. When you have time in the future, come here more often." Suldak said to Knight Danila.
Danila quickly stood up again, saluted Suldak as a knight, and replied readily: "Yes!"
"I still have something to do, so I won't entertain you anymore!"
Surdak stood up to see off the guests.
Knight Daniela quickly stood up and left.
At this time, Natasha had prepared some vegetables, frozen meat and baked wheat cakes in the kitchen cellar, and packed several large boxes.
Putting the food prepared by Natasha into the magic waist bag, Surdak just hugged Natasha, kissed her forehead, and left in a hurry
