Lord of Hyranza

……

In the early morning of winter in Hailansa City, especially the rich area and the area around the magic union, it looked extremely deserted.

Suldak got up from the bed very early, first took a shower in the bathroom, and then walked onto the balcony, facing the rising sun and holding the dwarf chain shield on the balcony, doing basic movements of swinging a sword.

He habitually put on a salamander leather armor, and then he thought that he would attend Baron Llewellyn's funeral today. If he wore a fiery red leather armor at the funeral, it would appear that he didn't respect Baron Llewellyn that much. After hesitating for a while, he rummaged through the magic pocket for a long time, and found that apart from the full-cover metal armor issued by the guard battalion, he really didn't have a decent black dress.

I had no choice but to get this cumbersome metal armor on board, and then I walked out of the dormitory area, and stood by the roadside at the entrance of the college and waited for a while. Karl stopped in front of him, the carriage door was pushed open by Karl, and he stretched out a hand. Suldak grabbed Karl's hand and jumped into the magic caravan.

Sitting in the compartment were Miss Brenda and Mrs. Christie, who were wearing black gauze skirts, black hats and black veils. Miss Brenda was still holding a handkerchief in her hand. Her eyes were red, and she must have cried. With some light makeup, the skin is very fair.

Suldak nodded lightly to the two ladies and sat down on the seat opposite.

Karl was sitting beside Mrs. Christie, with one arm around Mrs. Christie's shoulder, seeing Suldak wearing the standard metal armor of the guard battalion, and said to him: "You wear this full-cover metal heavy armor. , a little more handsome than that set of salamander leather armor."

Suldak didn't wear a helmet, but sat in the magic caravan wearing this kind of heavy armor. It was really uncomfortable, and he regretted not riding out on horseback.

He tapped the breastplate with his fingers, and the sound of metal impact was particularly crisp.

"Fortunately, it's lighter than expected." Suldak said to Karl.

Suldak cast his eyes on Miss Brenda's face, gave her a knight salute, and said, "I'm sorry that I couldn't help him on the battlefield in the oak forest."

Miss Brenda raised her head, stared at Suldak and said, "It's not your fault, it's his bad luck, I should have advised him to stay in Hailansa that day, and I didn't even have time to say goodbye to him .”

Her eyes were always full of unclear emotions, which made Suerdak not know how to continue the conversation for a while.

Mrs. Christie twisted her body, stopped Miss Brenda in her arms, and comforted her in a low voice: "Time can never be reversed, and those of us who survive must look forward. A good life is the greatest comfort to him." .”

"..."

The cemetery is located in a cemetery in the western suburbs outside Hailansa.

When the group arrived, many people had already gathered in the cemetery, and many people chose to hold the funeral today. There was a large empty space outside the cemetery, and now it was almost full of magic caravans.Suldak and Karl got out of the car first. They stood on both sides of the car and helped the two ladies down. It was a long way to go into the cemetery from here.

The snow on this mountain road was swept clean. Fortunately, there are many people on this road, so the road is not so monotonous.

Karl also knows a lot of acquaintances, and he kept saying hello along the way.

Many young nobles who experienced the battle that night at Ice Lake Manor also had their friends hold funerals. When Suldak and Karl passed by them, Suldak was the one who attracted the most attention.Of course, it is impossible not to attract attention, after all, Suldak killed a necromancer by himself.

"It seems that you are already famous, everyone remembers you!" Carl whispered to Suldak.

Suldak said: "I want to know if I damaged a magic weapon in that battle, can I get the corresponding compensation."

Carl said with certainty: "Of course, it's just that the city hall and the guard camp have been dealing with the aftermath recently, and the reward and compensation part will be delayed for a few days. Will help you apply, but it is unlikely to compensate you for an epic weapon."

Suldak explained to Carl that the saber was not an epic weapon again, he said: "In fact, my shining saber is not an epic weapon, it can only be regarded as an enchanted weapon at most, and it was me in the White Elephant Trade Bought from a store."

Several people walked to a forest full of tombstones. Two gravekeepers were standing next to a grave with shovels. The grave was dug big and deep. There were already many people standing around. The epitaph on the marble tombstone Already engraved.

Suldak, Karl, Miss Brenda, and Mrs. Christie stood at the back of the crowd, and almost everyone held a bunch of green pine and cypress branches in their hands. Everyone waited for a while in front of the cemetery. I saw a group of people walking slowly from the other side of the cemetery carrying a coffin.

Karl told Suldak in a low voice that the woman who followed the coffin and led the two children was Baron Llewellyn's wife.

Two women in long black dresses each held a child in their hands. They lowered their heads and walked slowly until the coffin was placed in front of the tomb. The two women stood in front of the tombstone with their children, followed by a middle-aged nobleman With a very sad expression, he read some stories about Baron Llewellyn's life, and finally put the wooden coffin into the tomb. The famous gravekeeper backfilled the frozen soil and erected a tombstone.

A bouquet of white flowers was placed on the tombstone. The surface of this bouquet of flowers was frozen with an ice shell. Unless the ice shell melted away, it could remain in the north wind for at least half a day.

Miss Brenda, as Baron Llewellyn's lover, had to stand at the back of the crowd.

The funeral lasted less than two hours and ended. On the return journey, Carl looked a bit solemn. Mrs. Christie asked him what was wrong, but Carl squeezed out a smile but shook his head and said nothing.

After sending Miss Brenda home, Carl held Mrs. Christie's beautiful face and kissed passionately when the carriage re-entered the street. Feeling, just when Suldak was hesitating whether to jump out of the car and walk back to the Knight Academy, the two ended their passionate kiss.

Carl touched Mrs. Christie's hair and said sadly to her, "I suddenly want to get married, just the two of us! I don't want you to attend my funeral at some point in the future and stand behind the crowd..."

Mrs. Christie rested her head on Carl's shoulder, neither saying 'yes' nor saying no.

But in Suldak's view, this was a rejection!

We did not continue to talk about this topic, but talked about the Byrd tax collector.

This tax collector is quite lucky. He lost an arm, and his chest was almost cut open by the ghost's sickle. However, in the past few days after he returned to Hailansa City, his wounds have healed very well. It seems that he is fine these days I got out of bed and walked around casually. It is said that Miss Hoyle has been taking care of Bird tax collector herself recently.

Bird's tax collector's wife died of illness two years ago, and he sent his 16-year-old son to the battlefield. Now he happens to be alone. Empire is nothing at all.

And as long as Bird Tax Officer and Miss Hoyle have a child, they can inherit the title of Viscount from Miss Hoyle in the future.

Speaking of Miss Hoyle finally having a home, although the Bird tax collector's family property is not rich, and he is a middle-aged uncle with missing arms, and he can't even see his toes when he stands upright. Mrs. Christie He still seemed very happy. After all, except for Tax Officer Byrd, no one in Hailansa City is willing to marry Miss Hoyle for the time being...

Before the magic caravan reached the gate of the Knight Academy, Suldak resolutely jumped out of the carriage and strode along the long street leading to the Knight Academy. He didn't want to see Karl in the carriage. hairy thighs...

Chapter 395 Compensation

Heavy snow fell again in the gray sky. Looking at the snowflakes flying outside the window, Suldak worried that the carriage transporting sulfur mines in Wall Village would be trapped on the mountain road. He sat in the classroom, but his thoughts It has already flown outside.

Recently, Suldak has become very famous in the knight academy, and many apprentice knights know that he saved many people during the winter hunting event.Although the specific details have not been announced yet, many apprentice knights in the knight academy are related to this incident. This city looks very big, but the so-called noble circle is actually not that big. Some are beyond imagination.

Dacie Christie had just walked up the stairs to the third floor of the teaching building when Suldak, who was sitting in the big classroom, had already received the news.

When her figure appeared at the door of the classroom, the long red hair swayed slightly in the crack of the door, and the eyes of the trainee knights in the classroom were fixed on Suldak. Suldak was not used to this kind of staring and courteousness. Walking out of the classroom with a scalp in the eyes of everyone, seeing Dacie Christie looking over with a smile, he took her a few steps towards the outer fence of the corridor, and asked strangely: "Is there anything worth coming in person? I don't have class in the afternoon , do you want to go to the sword hall to learn more?"

Dacie Christie turned around. She had become thinner recently. She tossed her fluffy red curly hair, stared at Suldak and said, "I now have every reason to suspect that you are always in the sword room when you are sparring. Secretly released water, and finally lost to me on purpose."

Suldak leaned on the fence and spread his hands, and said to Dacie Christie with a calm expression: "I am not as good as you in pure sword skills competition, and it's not a life-and-death struggle. The confrontation on the battlefield and the sword skills contest in the sword hall There is a big difference, for example, I definitely don’t dare to use too fancy moves in front of evil spirits, and if the sword hall allows me to take a shield, the ending may be very different.”

Darcy Christie suddenly said: "On the battlefield, you are a shield warrior. In the knight academy, you are a knight. But in the sword hall, you are learning pure sword skills?"

"Is there anything wrong with that?" Suldak smiled faintly.

"No!" Da Qian replied very simply, but the expression on her face was very unhappy.

She pointed to the stairs, motioning for Suldak to leave with her.

Walking along the corridor of the teaching building to the stairs, Suldak realized that he was doomed to fail the next class, so he went to the teaching staff room to ask the teaching assistant Pablo for leave.

Assistant Professor Pablo was sitting on a chair in the teaching staff room drinking tea. When Suldak walked in, he happened to see Darcy Christie's red hair outside the window, although he had almost no intersection with Darcy Christie. But it doesn't mean that he doesn't know the eldest lady of the Christie family, she is also a celebrity in the Knight Academy, even the dean wants to give Darcy Christie a little face.So he readily agreed to Surdak that he would ask for leave from Instructor Mirono for him.

Since Suldak seldom took physical training and equestrian classes, he was not very familiar with instructor Mirono. Seeing that Pablo's assistant agreed, Suldak walked out of the teaching building with Dacie Christie.

Dacie Christie said to him while walking: "The winter hunt is almost over, the aftermath work is coming to an end, many people want to see you, and those people want to thank you in person, as stated in the evaluation report given by the Magic Union Law Enforcement Team I think highly of you, without you, we probably wouldn't have survived that night."

Suldak scratched his messy hair vigorously, and asked, "Is it because I killed that necromancer?"

"Yes!" Darcy Christie replied still very concisely.

A thick layer of snow had already fallen on the playground, and the snowflakes fell on Darcy Christie's hair, and a thick layer soon covered it.

The two walked quickly to the magic caravan parked at the entrance of the academy, boarded the carriage and quickly closed the door, which was considered to block the snow outside.

Daxi waved to the coachman on the driver's seat, indicating that the coachman could start, and then took out a bottle of golden cider from the hidden compartment of the carriage. Suldak waved his hand, but he didn't take any wine Dacie Christie just poured herself a glass, took a sip, and said to Suldak: "There are many things you may not know. Verdeng Manor was attacked by ghosts, although a group of constructed knights entered the manor at the end, but only some low-level skeleton warriors were left behind, not to mention the main messenger, even the shadow of the ghost was not caught."

Suldak sat opposite Dacie and listened quietly. Dacie Christie said again: "In addition to the attack on Providence Manor, Leonard and Miss Fanny ran out of Bena City. To the north, we reached several cities along the way, and every time we reached a city, when the necromancer caught up, a manor would be attacked by the undead, and Hailansa City happened to be their sixth stop..."

"You mean they brought disaster?" Suldak didn't expect this matter to be so involved.

Darcy Christie nodded, and said: "Maybe they didn't realize it, but what is certain is that Miss Fanny has an extremely keen sense of danger, and every time danger comes, she will pull Leonard ahead of time." Leave. And not all the manors have suffered huge losses. Once it is confirmed that they are not in the manor, the necromancer will definitely not stay longer. He will leave without hesitation and continue to track down..."

Daxi paused for a moment before saying: "The Law Enforcement Group of the Magic Union of Bena City has been investigating this matter for more than a month."

"Leonard is your friend?" Suldak asked curiously.

Dacie Christie nodded and said: "We are both studying at Bena Advanced Swordsman Academy and are also graduates this year. We often participate in training activities together and are familiar with each other. Leonard is not bad in all aspects, but he is courageous. Somewhat small."

For such friends who could cause trouble, Suldak gave Dacie Christie a very sympathetic look.

He asked curiously again: "Where is Miss Fanny?"

"I don't know!" Dacie Christie said angrily when she heard Fanny's name, "Before Leonard left Hailansa, I also talked to him about this matter, Leonard and Miss Fanny We met for the first time at the ball of the Earl of Providence in the city of Bena. Miss Fanny’s origin is somewhat mysterious, and few people know her. It is said that she is the youngest daughter of a southern noble lord and traveled everywhere. Later they seemed to be We had afternoon tea together again, and Miss Fanny invited Leonard to eat cookies in her room at night..."

Suldak: "Leonard agreed?"

Darcy Christie said angrily: "Probably no man would refuse such a thing!"

After speaking, he took a deep look at Suldak.

"Ahem!" Suldak coughed lightly to hide the embarrassment on his face, then changed the subject and asked, "Doesn't anyone know where she got that lich skull? Priest Rathma doesn't Will roam the continent casually."

"There is no news about this yet." Darcy Christie shook her head and said. "I heard that the lich's skull hides the inheritance of the lich. If you inherit the inheritance of the lich, you can turn yourself into a lich with a lifespan of thousands of years. Maybe this is what she wants, maybe she is Under the guidance of a certain god... It is said that this lich skull is a very good high-level sacrifice."

The two sat in the magic caravan and talked all the way until the magic caravan slowly stopped by the side of the road. The coachman jumped off the driver's seat, opened the door for the two of them, and said respectfully: "Miss Darcy, we have arrived. !"

……

Suldak and Dacie Christie walked into the city hall. The logistics and munitions office was at the corner of the east side of the hall on the first floor, so the hall seemed very lively.He saw some demon hunters and adventurers queuing up at the front desk to register. He was very curious and looked over. Dacie Christie was very familiar with this place, so he took the initiative to explain to Suldak that there were also exchange supplies at the logistics department of the city hall. service, the exchange price is lower than that of some commercial firms.

As for why some people still go to the logistics department of the city hall to exchange materials, it is because the pricing here is more fair. In addition, some special items can also get the contribution of Hailansa City, such as the unidentified black magic Crystal, advanced materials of Warcraft and so on.Many demon hunters and adventure groups will bring supplies here for exchange.

Darcy Christie directly took Suldak up to the fourth floor of the city hall. A female staff member was standing at the top of the stairs. When she saw Miss Darcy appearing, she took the initiative to greet them and lead the way for the two of them. She turned her head and looked at Suerdak seriously. Erdak glanced at him, and whispered to Daci Christie: "The Consul has arrived, this is Knight Suldak?"

Dacie Christie nodded, didn't say much, and didn't introduce the two of them.

Suldak smiled slightly at the female staff member, and then the three of them came to a door. The female staff member pushed open the arched and heavy carved red-lacquered wooden door, and there was a compartment after entering the door. On the desk, apart from some documents and office supplies, there are some coats hanging on the hanger behind the desk. Opposite the desk is the waiting rest area. There is a set of delicate teacups and a plate of pastries on the small square table.

The three of them didn't stay here. The female staff led Suldak and Dacie Christie into the office inside. This office is very spacious and there are many green plants in the room. If there is no heavy snow blowing outside the window, Surdak would have an illusion of summer.The left side of the office is full of bookshelves against the wall, and a five-meter-by-two-meter sand table is placed there. The model of Hailansa City stands impressively halfway up the mountain in the center of the sand table.

Marquis Bernard Christie was sitting at his desk looking at a stack of documents when he saw Miss Darcy and Suldak walking in.

Suldak took a step forward, stood up straight, saluted Marquis Bernard as a knight, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Mr. Consul."

The middle-aged man in front of him, dressed in aristocratic attire, is not only the ruler of the Christie family, but also the father of Dacie Christie, and the consul of Hailansa City. His face is strikingly similar to Dacie Christie's. Well, although Suldak didn't see the knight guards in the office, there was an invisible coercion in this room, and that terrifying feeling made Suldak a little breathless.

Dacie Christie walked to the sand table alone, bent down, put her hands on her knees, and looked at the city of Hailansa in the sand table seriously.

Chapter 396 Blood Red Crescent

Marquis Bernard raised his head and motioned for Suldak to sit on the chair opposite the desk. His gaze was as sharp as that of a falcon. The pen was inserted into the round ink bottle, and then he crossed his hands on the table, and said to Suldak in a peaceful voice: "Knight Suldak, you have performed outstandingly in the battle of Ice Lake Manor. On behalf of the city hall And the House of Representatives thanks you."

Suldak just sat down, and stood up quickly before the chair was hot. He had already thought of some words along the way, so of course he had to be more humble at this time, and said quickly: "My lord, those who have died They should be commended. It is they who sacrificed their lives in the battle that created a chance for us to win. Let us return from Ice Lake Manor to High Lansa City safely. The dead warriors are more eligible to be commended by the City Hall of Highlander."

Marquis Bernard raised his eyelids and looked deeply at Suldak, with a little appreciation in his eyes.

He waved to Suldak again, motioning for him to sit down and talk.

At this time, the female staff came in with a tea tray, placed a cup of fragrant milk tea in front of Marquis Bernard and Suldak, and walked to Darcy Christie's side, putting a cup of tea on the resting table. area coffee table.

The female staff turned and left before Marquis Bernard said to Suldak: "The city hall will let every brave dead in Hailansa city see the sincerity shown by Hailansa city, all of you He is a great boy, and I hope that there will be more brave young people in High Lansa City in the future, who are brave and fearless on the battlefield, and have compassion and are willing to help the weak."

It seems that, as Carl said, after the aftermath was done, the rewards for those who made some contributions to the incident began.

Marquis Bernard placed a long wooden box on the desk. The wooden box was carved with delicate hollow reliefs, showing some scenes of dragons and giants fighting on it. Marquis Bernard placed his hands casually on the wooden box. on the box, and said to Suldak: "I heard that you have a very good magic weapon that was damaged in the battle. Although there is no similar magic weapon in the arsenal of the city hall, I believe this blood-red new Yue can help you, or if you have a chance in the future, you can use it to exchange for a Shining Saber."

Speaking of Bona, the Marquis lifted the wooden box cover, and a blood-red curved blade was revealed inside, and Suldak was very familiar with it, not long ago, he saw it in the White Elephant Trading Company. The Blood Red Crescent, the scimitar was bought by Leonard Swordsman first, but he didn't expect it to come back to Suldak at this time.

Suldak said honestly: "My lord consul... this blood red crescent is much more expensive than the shining saber!"

Marquis Bernard smiled, put the blood red crescent back into the wooden box, and took out a roll of parchment from the drawer with the red stamp of the city hall printed on it. He pushed the two items to Sur at the same time. In front of Dak, he said: "Although it is more expensive, it may not be the most suitable for you. Accept it! It is a little compensation for you from the city hall. In addition, there is this knight certificate. The Hailansa House of Representatives has authorized you to become an official knight." , Although you have become a knight, I hope you will stay in the Knight Academy to complete your studies and successfully obtain the Knight Academy graduation certificate, I believe this will be of great help to your knighthood."

Suldak didn't expect that besides the blood red crescent, he would actually get the status of an official knight in advance, which is also a surprise.

With the endorsement of the Hailansa City Hall and the House of Representatives, even if Earl Mond Goss wants to take back his knighthood in the future, it may not affect his knighthood.

Immediately, Suldak said: "I will finish my studies."

Marquis Bernard stood up, walked to the sand table in the room, stood beside Dacie Christie, pointed to the mountains and forests inside the sand table, and said to Suldak with a smile: "With this knight certificate, The Hailansa Knights will allocate a small piece of land for you as your knights. But before making a decision, it is best to listen to the advice of your friends carefully. You must know that in the suburbs of Hailansa, different regions Land, the value of which can vary wildly."

Suldak walked over and found that the land around Hailansa City was really huge. He quickly found the Pagros Mountains from the sand table, found the barren land and the Gobi covered with volcanic ash, and The top of the mountain is inlaid with red gemstones, which represent the pustule mountain that is constantly surging magma. Suldak saw the canyon where Wall Village is located. On this rather gentle mountain, there are nearly twenty similar ones scattered intermittently. Canyons, almost every canyon has a little bit of greenery in it.

Marquis Bernard followed Suldak's gaze and saw the large barren land on the sand table. He hesitated and reminded Suldak: "I heard that you were born in a small village on the edge of the barren land. Here, I don't have any ambiguity about it, but I hope you can open your eyes. Although Hailansa City is not worth mentioning in Bena Province, it still has very vast mountains, forests, plains, and lakes. The area you have chosen is very broad, after all this territory will belong to your private property in the future, how to choose is very important!"

Suldak said: "I will think about it carefully, Your Excellency the Consul."

When he said this, his eyes did not leave the barren land.

Marquis Bernard just reminded me by the way, seeing that Suldak didn't seem to listen, he changed the subject and said, "I heard that you have awakened your magical perception?"

Suldak nodded and admitted: "Yes, Mr. Consul, I can perceive the magical elements of the sacred attribute."

Marquis Bernard laughed a few times when he heard what Suldak said, and said, "This answer is in line with the standards of the Magic Union."

Only then did Suldak realize that Lance had indeed told him this, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Holding a teacup, Marquis Bernard sat on the sofa in the rest area and asked Suldak, "What are your plans for the future promotion? You were a shield fighter in the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment before. I am studying at the Knight Academy again, and I can be regarded as a warrior route after turning the advanced stage. Although I do not deny that the warrior path is still the mainstream promotion path of the Grimm Empire, have you ever considered learning more advanced sword skills? The province is the hometown of swordsmen, there is a very complete inheritance of swordsmen here, and many magic swordsmen have come out of Bena province, if you go this way, you will gain a lot of experience from your ancestors."

Suldak touched the hilt of the craftsman's sword with his hand, and replied firmly, "Master Consul, I want to take the road of knighthood."

It seemed that he did not expect that Suldak would have such a choice. Marquis Bernard was slightly taken aback, and then said: "Well, of course! It is your freedom to choose."

After chatting for a few more words, Suldak took the wooden box containing the blood red crescent and left the city hall with Dacie Christie.

There were many magic caravans parked on the street outside the gate of the city hall. When Suldak and Miss Daxi came out of the city hall, the doors of those magic caravans were pushed open one after another, and many people walked out of the cars. Young nobles, they stood in place and watched silently as Suldak and Daxi left the city hall in a magic caravan.
