Lord Helanza

Night is coming

The roof of Pena City is still covered with a thick layer of snow. The street is divided to form a well-defined square.

Pedestrians on the street walked briskly in the cold wind, the temperature dropped quickly, and no one wanted to stand on the street and chat.

The three of them sat side by side on the sofa, hot tea in a wagon in their hands, and looked at Pena City outside the window. Everyone did not speak, but sat quietly, watching the darkness spreading like a tide... …

Without candles, the light in the room gradually dimmed.

In the dimness, Hathaway's eyes are very bright.

She was listening to Surdak’s story of returning from the plane of Maca, and bought a group of kobold slaves in Pena. The slave dealer Ohshikin dumped a whole ship of kobold slaves at the airport in Helanza. On the dock, in the end, these undesired kobold slaves could only be transported back to Wall Village, and a sulfur mine was opened in the territory. Everyday all there are a large number of kobold slaves digging there.

Beatrice rested his head on Surdak’s shoulders and said to Surdak, “I really want to go to Wall Village and take a look at the big dam. Maybe I don’t have to come back again.”

Beatrice was a little depressed, she drank some wine, her face slightly red.

"Sorry, I haven't been able to convince you father yet." Surdak lowered his head and looked at the passionate, round-faced beauty, thinking she probably wanted to escape the city, just like her As Hathaway originally planned.

Surdak does not approve of this approach. How can the most important thing in life be without the blessing of family members?

He put his hands on the waist softer than Atris and hugged harder.

"Did you fall ill because of me?" Beatrice rolled his eyes and looked up at his profile.

Surdak hesitated for a moment. He didn’t talk about colonizing the keel. He just smiled slightly: "It’s nothing to do with this. Even if it’s a little bit, I’m willing to do something for you. Thank you for your luck. Goddess can let me meet you."

"Neither Beatrice nor I want to see you sick." Hathaway said quietly, sitting on the other side.

Surdak can feel his body recovering slowly, and the sunset outside the window is only a dark red. He said: "It will be better, but it will be severely impacted here, but the good news is that I don’t have I became completely stupid, and I should be able to recover. This time I was sick and reminded me of many things from the past."

Hathaway turned around, curled up and leaned on the sofa, alone He supported his head and said to Surdak, "I remember the first time I saw you, you were an infantry Captain. At that time, you had a stinky face. I was so angry that I wanted to stand behind you and kick you fiercely."

"haha, now you can play if you want, the chance is rare..." After speaking, he hooked Hathaway's delicate neck with one hand and kissed her forehead.

Hathaway’s jade-green’s eyes narrowed into a line, transformed into an octopus entangled Surdak, leaned on him and whispered, “For the sake of your illness, put I've passed you."

The room seemed too quiet. Steward and the two maids waited restlessly outside the room. He wiped the sweat from his forehead anxiously.

Although Surdak Baron’s proposal was successful, he was afraid that the youngsters in the house would stick together and make some extraordinary actions. For the conservative Luther family, certain rules cannot be easily surpassed. Yes, this involves the face of the Marquis Luther. He saw that the sky was gradually dark, so Brace Oneself walked up and knocked on the door. He stuck to the wooden door and reminded him: "Miss, we should go..."

Time is short, room There was the sound of footsteps inside.

After the wooden door was opened, Hathaway and Beatrice walked out of the room. Although their pretty faces were slightly red and their long skirts pressed many folds, the heart of the middle-aged Steward Still sighed in relief.

This style of long skirt is very complicated to wear. It takes only half an hour for the waist and petticoat to wear it.

They walked out of the room so quickly, although they will definitely not be just chatting, but they will not be too outrageous.

Hathaway and Beatrice walked down the hotel stairs, the complexion on their faces had recovered, and the middle-aged steward returned to the House of the Marquis of Luther in a magic caravan.

……

Shand participated in an auction of magical materials held at Auction House yesterday. He knew that crystallized meat is expensive, but didn't expect crystallized fire. The lizard meat will be pushed to such a high price by the bidders. When the Auctioneer cut a piece of crystallized salamander meat on the spot, scraped the Fire Element grains with a knife blade, and those Fire Element grains burst on the booth. With flames, the entire auction scene was boiling.

Several rounds of auctions have pushed crystalized salamander meat to a height that other attributes crystalized meat cannot match.

Then two boxes of crystallized salamander meat were very smoothly taken away at high prices. In order to have a chance to cooperate in the future, Auction House even offered to lower the commission by one point, and it was also immediately. So he handed over the bidding money to Sande.

The butcher’s Boss Sander lay on the wooden bed with a bag of magic crystals and didn't sleep well all night.

Early, I got up from the bed against the dark circles, thinking about whether to take a trip to the city hall of Pena City and deposit this large sum of money there, although I have to pay a part of the storage fee, But at least it's safer over there.

He got up from the bed, washed his face, pushed open the wooden door of the butcher shop, took down the partition of the window, took out a magic box, and placed the devil antelope meat inside. On the meat case, he hung the frozen Mora fish on a wooden frame. After finishing these things, he sat on the chair at the door of the wood house to rest.

At this time, the wood house door of the next store was pushed open, and a street girl wrapped in thick wool cloak got out of it. She was wearing leather boots, showing a piece of white calf on a cold day. , Took a big step, and quickly walked out of the magic free market. Time is short. A brawny with a naked torso walked out of the room. This guy has a thick chest hair on his chest, a full beard, and his body is like a A strong big stupid bear.

Sand stared at the brawny twice, then smiled at him and asked, "How does this long leg taste?"

Brawny walked over, you're welcome , Shaved a piece of raw meat on the deer leg of the ice blue deer with a knife and put it in his mouth, and said vaguely: "That's it... Why don't you see you for business in the past two days, and prepare to do something else?"

"What else can I do besides cutting meat?" Sande cut another large piece of deer leg and handed it to the neighbor.

Brawny is also welcome. She took it and put it in her mouth with a knife. Then she said: "Some magicians will come to you in these two days, probably because of your last time. The salamander meat you got back, you have been careful recently..."

brawny patted Sander’s shoulders, then stretched out his strong arms, grabbed a handful of snow on the eaves, and rushed vigorously. Xue rubbed her hands and face until she rubbed her skin red, and then walked back to the wood house.

Shand stood up and sorted out the frozen meat on the meat table, ready to raise the small stove in the wood house, use less boiling water, and fill his stomach with scones.

Feeling someone behind him, he turned his head abruptly and saw Surdak standing at the door, holding on to the door frame, his face looked a little pale.

Since yesterday, Sande has been hoping for Surdak to appear soon, and now seeing him look weak, it is also startled.

But he knew what to ask and what not to ask, so he said: "Master Surdak, why did you come today? You missed the auction yesterday."

" Sell ​​all those crystalized salamander meat?" Surdak sat down on the stool by the door and asked Sande.

“It’s a shame that you missed the auction yesterday. Those salamander meats are very popular. Oh, this is a breakdown of Auction House’s transaction records and commissions. Let’s take a look. It’s all the salamander meat from the auction."

Surdak watched it carefully for a while, and was ready to look for any miscalculations in the account book. He didn’t really care about the little money, he just I want Sander to know that he can understand this detailed list on the parchment. However, Sande calculated every transaction very clearly, and Surdak couldn't find any problems for a while.

It was the heavy pocket that surprised him. According to Surdak’s estimation, the crystalized salamander meat received at Auction House, even if there is a premium, it will not exceed the value of the salamander meat by 100%. Twenty, which means it shouldn't be more than three hundred magic crystals from this auction.

But when he took the money bag in his hand, he realized that his estimate was very different from what he actually got.

Turning to the last page of the account book, Surdak saw the words 531 magic crystals written on it. Such a crystallized salamander can actually be exchanged for three sets of magic patterns. No wonder there will be that many adventure group going deep into the demonic beast's vertical and horizontal mountains, risking a mortal danger to hunt down those valuable demonic beasts.

Surdak thought that when he was looking for Sande, he wanted to sell the crystalized salamander meat for a pound of gold. If it were to be sold that way, it would really be a loss to his grandmother.

Surdak counted thirty Devil Crystal Stones from his pocket and gave them to Sander. Sander held these shining crystal stones in both hands. He grew his mouth and became speechless with excitement, although he Selling demonic beast ingredients in the magic free market, there is also a monthly income of 20 to 30 Gold Coins, and the approximate annual income is always more than 30 magic crystals.

But with one transaction, he made the income of the previous year. Counting the Devil Crystal Stone in his hand, Sand was still a little excited.

He has never sold high level demonic beast ingredients. One of the reasons is not that many capital, and the second reason is that he can’t find a reliable source. He never thought that this kind of good thing could still be It was his turn, but now, with the facts before him, Sande suddenly found himself lucky.

"When will the next batch of salamander meat be available?" Sande asked with some excitement.

Surdak thought about it for a moment, and felt that in a few days, letting Gullitum go to Lava Cave to cut the leeks once, it shouldn't be a big problem.

He said: "Probably it won’t take long. Recently I am in Pena City, and we can still trade in Pena City. I’m afraid it will be a bit more troublesome after a while. You may have to take a magic airship to Helanza City to purchase goods. "

Sand didn't expect Surdak actually came from Helanza, he is not familiar with the Tarapakant area in the northern Pena province, repeating the sentence: "Helanza city?"

Surdak nodded with a smile.

Leaving the Magic Free Market, Surdak found a restaurant, casually ate some stew and grilled oatmeal, and then walked to the'Shire' tavern.

……

The'Shire' tavern is usually open in the evening. Surdak went a bit early. Although the door of the tavern is open, the tables, chairs and benches are still piled together. The famous waiter was doing the cleaning work with the handle, and several wine sellers were sitting on the high stools in front of the bar, facing each other, looking at the delicate makeup.

They are not too afraid of the cold. Although the temperature in the tavern is very low, they still only wear black stockings and short skirts, and chat with chirp chirp twitter twitter endlessly.

Surdak walked to the entrance of the tavern and was stopped by a waiter. He said apologetically, "My lord, I'm sorry that we are not open yet. I'm afraid you will have to come later!"

Surdak looked inside, then smiled to the waiter and said, "Can I sit there for a while? I have nowhere to go at this point."

He took out a stack of copper plates from his pocket and stuffed it into the waiter's hand. The waiter grasped the stack of copper plates and said to Surdak with some embarrassment: "...This does not meet our regulations. The manager saw it. I want to Scolded!"

"Let him come in!" The bartender yawned, standing in the bar, scrubbing the glass.

Only then did the waiter let the way open, hunched over and invited Surdak into the tavern.

The bartender poured a glass of ale for Surdak, and put a plate of nuts on the bar, and asked Surdak to sit down. The group of wine sellers laughed and looked at Surdak. They were also very big sellers. The wine girl sat down on the high stool next to Surdak and said to him in a teasing tone: "Master Baron, can you buy me a drink?"

Surdak nodded, motioned to the bartender to give her Also pour a glass of wine.

At this time, the ale girl took the opportunity to put most of her upper body on Surdak, and said in his ear, "Would you like to sit down with me?"

At this time, the bartender Pushing a glass of ale over, reminded the wine seller: "Hela, he is a customer of Sophia, you can find someone else to do business!"

Listen to the bartender, curl One's lip, but didn't dare to refute, turned around with the wine glass and left.

"Wait for a while, Sophia shouldn't get up yet. Tell me what you want to drink..."

The bartender said to Surdak.

Surdak raised his glass and ordered the bartender nodded.

He was eating salted cat's claw fruit. This kind of nut needs to be cut open with a dagger to get the crispy and sweet kernel inside, which is just a good thing to kill time.

Drinking a sip of cold, fragrant ale, his thoughts seem to float back to a certain summer in the previous life.
