Lord of Hyranza

After returning to the hotel and settling the room funds, Baron Iman Owen insisted on sending Suldak out of the city.

Just when the magic caravan was about to leave the city, a knight rode a blue-scaled horse parallel to the magic caravan. Behind him were two followers. The tall blue-scaled horse just made him a little higher than the window of the car. The knight slightly He bowed his waist and looked inside against the window glass. When he saw Suldak and Iman Owen in the carriage, he was slightly startled and asked inside the window:

"Iman! Iman... why are you sitting in the car?"

Iman Owen waved his hand towards the knight, opened the car window, and said to the knight outside the car window:

"My friend is leaving Constantinople, and I want to see him off. This is Jude, and this is Suldak!"

The knight named Jude looked at Suldak seriously, and said, "I seem to have seen you somewhere, let me think..."

Suldak looked suspiciously at the knight outside the window, thinking how he could know the knight here in Constantinople, which he had never been to.

At this time, a subordinate behind Jude approached his ear and reminded Jude:

"Boss, have you forgotten? When we were in Wojmara, you were treated by the Suldak knights. You injured your ribs at that time, and the broken ribs stabbed the right lung lobe. The injury was very severe. Seriously, this Suldak knight took the head of a hellhound and healed your injury."

The knight suddenly remembered, and when he looked at Suldak again, he was quite agitated, and said proactively:

"You are the Knight of Suldak from the High Lansa Guard Battalion... Oh no, Baron Suldak..."

When he saw the noble badge on Suldak's chest, he immediately changed his words, and then very enthusiastically invited Suldak to stay in Constantinople for a few more days, giving him the opportunity to express his gratitude, but was rejected by Suldak. I politely declined.

That Baron Iman Owen did not expect Jude and Suldak to know each other, and it seemed that Jude owed Suldak a favor.

When the magic caravan passed by the gate of the city, Jude shouted excitedly to a group of guard knights who were patrolling the gate: "Hey, come and see who is coming to Constantinople, it's Sur Dark Knight... Oh Baron! Didn't you two always want to thank him in person? Now is your chance!"

"Is the Suldak knight here?"

It just so happened that someone among a group of guard battalion knights patrolling at the gate of the city yelled...

Chapter 564 Before the Harvest Festival

Suldak dealt with these extremely enthusiastic guard knights at the gate of the city.

After delaying for a while, he rode his horse back to the city of Hailansa.

When they were in the city of Vozmara on the Maca plane, the knights of the guard battalion did not say any words of gratitude. Instead, after a few months, they went to Constantinople by themselves. The guard battalion knights showed their gratitude to themselves.

After politely rejecting Baron Jude's warm retention, Suldak's heart became warm at this moment.

On both sides of the avenue are dense forests. There are some pear trees all over the roadside. Some green pears grow on the trees. Only a few pears hang on the top of the trees that cannot be reached. A gust of wind blows through the forest. A heavy pear shook vigorously on the top of the tree.

The afternoon sun was still a little hot, and Suldak patted the horse's butt hard, and Gu Bolai's horse spread its hooves on this forest road, and galloped forward vigorously.

……

There is only half of the moat in Constantinople, and the other half is a stone cliff that is not too high outside the city wall.

The water of the moat is crystal clear, and the river is paved with a layer of stones. In order to draw the river from a few kilometers away, the residents of Constantinople spent several months digging a canal. This river is the source of Constantine. It is one of the most important water sources of the Fort, and almost half of the residents rely on this river for their daily water.

Lady Annabelle's handmaidens return to the castle in a magic caravan.

Iman Owen and Jude were standing by the moat at the gate of the city chatting.

"Hey, Iman, how do you know Baron Suldak?" Jude leaned on the railing of the drawbridge beside the moat and asked Iman Owen.

The suspension bridge is suspended over the river, and the whole bridge is made of oak, and the handrails of each railing are connected with hemp rope.

Above the gate of the city is a line of words written in Constantinople, and below the words is the emblem of the Owen family made of magic red copper with a diameter of one meter.

"He intends to sell some sulfur mines. It is said that he found a sulfur mine in the territory, so he came to me and planned to sell it to the workshop." Iman Owen glanced at Jude, and he had known Jude for a long time Now, I know how proud this knight who is about to touch the threshold of the second turn is.

He paused, and asked Jude: "By the way, Jude, is this Baron Suldak famous?"

Jude reached out and touched the thick stubble on his chin, and nodded slightly.

He had to admit that the brilliance that this knight from Hailansa City showed in Wojmara City overshadowed the outstanding performance of all the guard battalion knights.

Jude lowered his head and glanced at his right rib. He was wearing the standard armor of the guard battalion, but he could still feel the scar. Every time it was cloudy and rainy, the scar would ache.

He thought of those battles in Walmart City, how crazy those giant hell dogs that were taller than a calf were.

Jude said: "At least in Vojmara City, you don't know what he did in Vojmara City... At that time, our Constantinople Guard Battalion and Plex City Guard Battalion, Hailan The San guard battalion formed a battle group. When fighting the Hellhound, their combat team was always the most eye-catching presence in the battle group. Of course, there is no shortage of such brave knights on the battlefield, and other teams also performed very well. Excellent, that alone is not worthy of everyone's admiration."

"But he is still a knight with the holy light technique. As long as someone is injured, you can find him-everyone. You don't need any reward for minor injuries, and you need to pay a hellhound head for serious injuries. His holy light technique is very effective , as long as it is not a particularly serious injury, he can almost be cured."

"He doesn't care whether the wounded are local natives or reinforcement knights. He only sees the difference between serious injuries and minor injuries."

"Now, if you mention the name of Baron Suldak in the guard camp, there must be many people who remember him, but why do I feel that he was a commoner knight before, when did he become a noble baron? Could it be that he concealed it before? Lost identity?" Jude was puzzled by this.

For the private goods fighting in Wozmara City, every time the battle ends, there is always a tent in the Hailansa Guard Camp whose lights will be lit until the end.

Iman Owen seemed to remember some information at once, and quickly said: "I know him, he is the knight with the highest military merit in the Guard Battalion of Bena Province? After my uncle came back, he also praised the knight in Hailansa City Juekou, it turned out to be him! But I don’t think there is anything special about him!”

"Maybe, maybe there will be a chance to meet each other on the battlefield in the future." Jude said lightly.

"What? Is there going to be a war again?" Iman Owen asked in surprise.

Years of wars have led to a significant imbalance in the male-female ratio of the Grimm Empire's population. Plane wars have broken out across the country. Most of the legions of the grand dukes who hold heavy troops are stuck in the quagmire. Duke Newman of Bena Province has The main force of the Bena Legion was trapped in the Warsaw plane.

"Not so fast, but the plane wars are frequent recently, and the Grimm Empire will definitely take action, at least blowing the horn of counterattack in the most critical planes, just watch." Jude's eyes were burning with war, resolute said.

……

Suldak rushed back to Wall Village just in time for the Harvest Festival.

The wheat in the field has been harvested, only the vegetable field opened up on the tidal flat is still full of cabbage and cauliflower, and the leaves on the pumpkin vines have gradually withered and yellowed, revealing orange pumpkins one by one.

There are pumpkins and cabbages piled on the table in the center of the village square. The women of the village are decorating the village square, and there is a festive atmosphere everywhere.

The straw stacks on the threshing floor are like domed towers. This spring, the wheat field has been fully irrigated, so when harvested in autumn, the ears of wheat will be firmer and fuller. The grains are also all starched. The old village head Brett believes that with the wheat produced this year, together with some tree rice and miscellaneous grains, all the villagers can survive the long winter.

This winter, without having to consider the disaster of a house being crushed by a snowstorm, the women in the village have already started to go into the mountains to collect all kinds of mountain products. Without the pressure of famine, the things they brought back from Oak Ridge are much more beautiful.

Gubo Laima stopped in front of the security station. Not far away from the construction site of the reservoir, the main body of the fourth-level reservoir was being grouted. The plywood was built like a thick city wall, outside the third-level reservoir. formed a larger arc.

The busiest things in the village were those four-wheeled carriages. At this time, the four-wheeled carriages were still driving into the reservoir construction site one after another.

During this year, I don't know how many axles engraved with the magic circle have been worn out. Fortunately, this thing is easy to buy in Hailansa City. Although it is a bit expensive, Suldak never Won't be saving money on this.

Samira stood on the balcony on the second floor of the police station and said hello to Suldak in the yard. It seemed that she was standing there specially waiting to say hello to Suldak. After saying hello, she was wearing a pair of The linen skirt went back to her room and went to bed.

Andrew limped out of the security station and smiled at Suldak.

Most of the bandages on his body have been removed. This native warrior is strong and has the strength in the mid-stage of a turn. His self-healing power is far superior to that of ordinary people. In just half a month, most of his injuries have healed. Seeing Sur Dak rushed back from the outside, and he couldn't wait to beg Suldak to let him ride a horse to go around the barren land. These days, he stayed in the security station and ate and slept. After sleeping and eating, his body was about to have a thick layer of armor up.

Suldak didn't say anything against it. Looking at the bandages wrapped around his body, he easily jumped off the horse, took out a set of brand new guard battalion armor from his magic pocket, and put them on him one by one.

Adding a set of heavy full-coverage armor, Andrew immediately turned into a big stupid bear, not to mention running, jumping and fighting, and even walking in the yard seemed a bit difficult, so Andrew's idea of ​​going outside to patrol was rejected. Suldak dismissed it.

Aphrodite was wearing light gauze pajamas, with her elbows resting on the railing. When she bent down, a clear shape of water droplets appeared on her chest, and the pajamas shook gently.

If it weren't for the two big bulges on the back and the hidden corners between the messy long hair that indicated her identity as a succubus, Suldak would have felt that she was more like a noblewoman who had just woken up in a noble's inner courtyard.

Based on the magic contract of equality, mutual assistance and reciprocity, Aphrodite cared less and less about her own image in front of Suldak.

Suldak bit the bullet, boarded the terrace on the second floor, and sat down on the wicker chair on the terrace. The view here is very good, and you can just see the whole Wall village when you sit here.

The succubus Aphrodite was lying sideways on the wicker chair opposite Suldak, her nightgown could not hide her graceful figure.

So that Suldak could only keep giving himself psychological hints:

She is a succubus!

She is a succubus!

She is a succubus!

"Is there nothing going on in the village recently?" Suldak turned his head away and looked at the oak table in front of the wicker chair.

Aphrodite blinked her big purple grape eyes and said with a smile on her face: "Fortunately, the new magician at the Dark Moon Gate is rather timid, and just rode a magic horn around in the evening. I walked around Wall Village twice, and it didn’t appear again.”

"When?" Suldak asked in surprise.

"About five days ago." Aphrodite said very casually.

"How can you be sure that it's the magician from the Dark Moon Gate?" Suldak asked suspiciously.

"Of course I know! Because besides flying around on a magic scorpion, he also likes to cross the portal..." Aphrodite snapped her fingers and told Suldak her reasons.

Hearing what the succubus Aphrodite said, the person riding the magic handle is really very likely to be the Dark Moon Gate magician.

In the end, Aphrodite told Suldak that the ogre Gulitum was no longer in the mood to herd sheep in the Beigou pasture, and was counting the days of the Harvest Festival with his fingers every day.

Suldak waved his hand to show he understood.

After learning about the situation of the security station in the past few days, he got up and walked down the terrace, and rode on the ancient Bolai horse that was gnawing grass by the shrub wall in the yard, intending to drive home.

"Hey, Captain!" Aphrodite stood on the terrace and called Suldak to a stop.

The last ray of sunlight at dusk shone through her body, making her look like a silhouette in the sun.

"Um, what?" Suldak grabbed the horse's rein and turned his head to ask.

"Do you discriminate against succubus?" Aphrodite's smiling eyes were full of narrow smiles.

"..."

Chapter 565 Follower of the Goddess of Darkness

Although I still don't know the purpose of the magician from the Dark Moon Gate flying over Wall Village, what can be felt is that this magician has brought an invisible force to Wall Village. The pressure seems to have spread to the hearts of every villager.

Some villagers in the village have begun to secretly talk about the magician who can fly around on a magic scorpion. Seeing the magicians in the adventure group at the entrance of the village, the villagers' eyes are also strange.

Suldak has nothing to do about it. Although the crystal key has been sent out, the magician of the Dark Moon Gate does not seem to have forgotten the village of Vol.

Suldak and the old village chief first walked around the construction site of the reservoir.

As the Harvest Festival approaches, the grouting of the main body of the fourth-level reservoir dam on the reservoir construction site will be carried out after the Harvest Festival. Now the steel bars and plywood of the dam are ready, and the volcanic ash is piled up like a hill on the construction site. Quietly, those bricklayers returned to their respective villages two days ago, and they will return one after another after the harvest festival.

The old village chief stroked the plywood of the main body of the dam with one hand, and tapped the plywood with his knuckles from time to time to check whether the plywood was tied firmly.

A bundle of steel bars was exposed where the plywood was not enclosed. This kind of steel bars with the thickness of a small finger was transported from the blacksmith workshop in Bena City. Up to now, the reservoir project has only purchased these steel bars. Nearly [-] gold coins have been taken out.

The head of Brett said to Surdak: "After the harvest festival, we will start pouring the main body of the dam of the fourth-level reservoir. By the way, Darke, is the design height of the fifth-level dam a bit short? It's all repaired." , why not build it higher?"

The fifth-level cistern occupies the largest area, and the fifth-level cistern is not a huge overall pool, but is composed of thirteen pools interlocking at different heights. The dam height of these pools is only one Mi, the old village chief knew what Suldak was thinking, but he hoped that this large dam could store more water.

The old village chief wants to do two things most in his life: one is to make the village no longer lack water, and the other is to reclaim the fields that can feed the villagers. Now both of these things have been realized, but He still habitually wants to store more water and reclaim more land...

Standing on the large area of ​​the fifth-level reservoir that has not been completely leveled, Suerdak said to the old village chief:

"I'm going to turn this first-level pool into a large bathing place, spread a layer of fine sand on the side of the pool, and plant some willow trees, so that in summer, the children in the village can cool off here without worrying about the water being too hot." deep and in danger."

The old village head was unwilling, so he smacked his lips, took out a walnut pipe from his arms, filled the pipe with shredded tobacco, and without lighting it, he put it in his mouth and took two puffs dryly, his brows furrowed. Sichuan character.

Suldak continued to explain: "According to the original design, only the first three levels of water storage tanks in this large dam can actually store water, and the fourth level of storage tanks is to ensure the buffer storage of mountain torrents in the rainy season. The mountain spring is surrounded, and there must be a place for everyone to draw water. In the future, I plan to connect some copper pipes to the pool from a certain pool in the fifth-level reservoir, so that the mountain spring can be directly sent to everyone. Every household."

"The project is about to be completed, of course I understand this. But the more I understand, the more I can't figure it out. The total cost of the latter two stages of storage tanks is nearly twice as expensive as the first three stages, and the investment in manpower and material resources is huge. , In the end, the effect is actually useless, and I always feel that the construction of these two-level reservoirs is a bit of a loss!" said the head of Bright Village earnestly.

"If there is any loss, you will know the benefits in the future." Suldak said with a "hehe" smile.

The central square of the village is still very lively. The villagers are used to eating big pot meals here. When the old village head and Suerdak passed by the square in the village, the villagers stood up and greeted them. The old village head said hello to them. These villagers who are eating and drinking with big wooden bowls have never had a good face.

At this moment, he yelled at a group of young people squatting in the corner eating with a straight face: "Those of you who have not participated in the construction of the townhouse, don't come here to eat here every day. The cafeteria here is a townhouse. Building craftsmen are ready."

A group of young people in the village said with a 'hee hee haha': "Uncle Brett, we are all working on the construction site of the townhouse."

Village head Brett immediately scolded: "Go away, you kid thinks I'm a fool, don't you know you're driving a carriage at the reservoir construction site?"

He picked up the crutch in his hand, and limped towards the young men.

The other young people in the village immediately panicked and explained while running, "Uncle Brett, we just drink porridge..."

"Ha ha……"

The women in the village sat on the stone bars next to the square to watch the fun, and the originally serious topic was full of laughter.

The head of Brett walked to the big iron pot where the porridge was cooking with an angry look on his face, and told the cook who was cooking the porridge: "Take care of the bag of grains. I will run out of grains before the end of the day. I want to Replacement."

The cook was so frightened that she quickly scooped two more scoops of water into the cauldron...

Village head Suerdak and Brett walked into the carpenter's workshop. Due to the completion of the small townhouses, the triangular wooden frames on the roof of the carpenter's workshop have all been built. At present, wooden window frames are being manufactured in large quantities. The frame is hung on the open space next to the carpenter’s workshop, where a large pergola was built with shade cloth, and all the varnished windows are dried here, and a strong smell of paint can be smelled near here .

It was very late, and the carpenter's workshop was still lit, and a group of carpenters were rushing to make the last batch of window frames.

The carpenter's workshop has always been the busiest place in Wall Village. Stacks of wood are piled up in the warehouse and will be consumed soon.

Suldak followed the old village head to the rowhouses in front of the village. Most of the rowhouses at the entrance of the village have been rented by merchants and turned into temporary residences and warehouses. Due to the influx of adventure groups in the barren land, the village entrance The market is getting more and more prosperous, attracting many merchants during this period, and the townhouses at the entrance of the village have been fully utilized.

A large row house near the river had become a kobold slave camp, and six hundred kobold slaves had always lived here.

Suldak and the old village head Brett walked towards the kobold slave camp. From a distance, they heard a burst of yelling from the overseers in the village, accompanied by the kobold slaves praying in a low voice, and the sound of quarreling came out in the silent night. so far.
