Lord Helanza

Celia Cooper really believed in Surdak's oath. Hearing him raise his hand to swear, he immediately calmed down, spreading out the magic robe and sitting on the pages of the book, to Surdak Said:

"I have some knowledge of space magic, a little knowledge of the Divination Technique, I can identify a variety of magic herbs, and have a certain research on magic lines. In addition to the Grimm Imperial language, I am proficient in ancient Elvish and Some Jana language. As long as you are willing to sign a magical contract of equality and mutual assistance to ensure that we will not do anything to harm each other, I will help you do something within my power, and all I need is this magic notebook, this This is my home, and every time you open the magic book, remember to knock on the door first. This is the most basic respect for a lady."

Surdak can’t figure out why Celia Cooper is doing this. Talkative, as a black magician, shouldn't the character be paranoid?

"Well, I promise you." Surdak readily agreed. Although he is still on guard, at least until now, he hasn't seen any other attempts by Celia Cooper against him.

Celia Cooper said: "Of course, I will abide by our magic contract."

Then she returned to her original form and recreated a sheet on the book page. The portrait of a young girl can vaguely feel the power of some soul remaining on the page of this book.

After experiencing that battle in Ice Lake Manor, Shining Saber could actually absorb some Soul Fire. Although I don’t know where those flexible fires ended up, Surdak probably wants to understand that those Soul Fires are very It may be absorbed by this Celia Cooper, after all, she belongs to the form of soul.

As the magic note closed automatically, Surdak rubbed his forehead vigorously.

Two young girls were playing and laughing next to the dormitory. Surdak paused for a while before reaching out and pulling the curtains...

...

In the early morning of winter in Helanza, the area of ​​the rich and magical unions is particularly deserted.

Surdak got up from bed very early, took a shower in the bathroom, then walked to the terrace, facing the rising sun, holding the dwarf chain shield on the balcony, doing a basic wave The action of the sword.

He wears a salamander leather armor habitually, and then thinks of attending Llewellyn Baron’s funeral today. If he wears a red leather armor at the funeral, he will appear to be different. Respecting Llewellyn Baron, he hesitated for a while, turned through the magic pocket for a long time, and found that apart from the full-covered metal armor issued by the guard camp, he really didn't have a decent black dress.

I had to walk out of the dormitory area with this slightly bulky metal armor on the ship, and waited for a while on the side of the road in front of the Academy. A magic caravan drove from the direction of the rich area. , Slowly stopped in front of Surdak, the car door was pushed open by Karl from inside, and extended a hand, Surdak grabbed Karl's hand and jumped into the magic caravan.

In the carriage, there are Miss Brenda and Mrs. Christie wearing black skirts, black hats and black veils. Miss Brenda is still holding a handkerchief in her hand. She looks red under her eyes. I have cried. She puts on some light makeup and her skin is very pale.

Surdak was lightly nodded to the two ladies and sat down on the opposite seats.

Carl sat next to Mrs. Christie, put his arm around Mrs. Christie’s shoulder, watched Surdak wear a standard metal armor of the guard camp, and said to him: "You wear this full cover It’s more handsome than the salamander leather armor."

Surdak didn’t wear a helmet, but sitting in the magic caravan wearing this heavy armor was really uncomfortable. He regretted it a bit. Did not ride out.

He tapped his breastplate with his fingers, and the metal crash sounded particularly crisp.

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

Surdak set his gaze on Miss Brenda’s face, gave her a knight salute, and said, “I’m sorry, I couldn’t help him on the battlefield of Oak Grove.”

Miss Brenda lifts the head, staring at Surdak and said: "It's not your fault, it's his bad luck. I should persuade him to stay in Helanza that day. I didn't even have time to say goodbye to him. "

Her eyes are always full of unspeakable emotions, which makes Surdak not know how to talk for a while.

Mrs. Christie twisted her body, held Miss Brenda in her arms, and comforted her quietly: "Time can never go backwards. Those of us who survive must also look forward and live a good life. It is the greatest relief to him."

"..."

The cemetery is located in a cemetery on the western outskirts of Helanza.

When the entire group arrived, a lot of people had gathered in the cemetery, and many people chose to hold the funeral today. There is a big empty field outside the cemetery, and now it is almost full of magic caravans. . Surdak and Carl took the lead to get out of the car. They stood on both sides of the car and helped the two ladies to walk down. From here, they had to walk a long way into the cemetery.

The snow on this mountain road is cleaned very cleanly. Fortunately, there are a lot of people on this mountain road, so it is not so tedious along the way.

Carl has many acquaintances, and he keeps saying hello along the way.

Many of the young aristocrats who had experienced the battle that night in Ice Lake Manor also had friends to hold funerals. When Surdak and Carl passed by them, Surdak was the most watched person. Not being noticed is of course impossible, after all, Surdak killed a necromantic warlock by strength of oneself.

"It looks like you are already famous, everyone remembers you!" Carl whispered to Surdak.

Surdak said: "I want to know if I damaged a magic weapon in that battle and if I can 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. The rewards and compensation will be delayed for a few days. Even if you don’t mention this, the guard camp will help you apply, but it’s not May compensate you for an epic weapon."

Surdak once again explained to Carl that the saber is not an epic weapon. He said: “In fact, my shining saber is not an epic weapon. It can be counted as an enchanted weapon. I bought it from the White Elephant Trading Company."

Several people walked to a woodland full of tombstones, and two grave guards stood in one place with shovels. Next to the tomb, the tomb was dug big and deep, and many people were already standing around, and the epitaph on the marble tombstone had been carved.

Surdak and Carl, Miss Brenda, and Mrs. Christie stood at the back of the crowd. Almost everyone held a bunch of green pine and cypress branches. Everyone waited in front of this cemetery. After a while, I saw a group of people slowly approaching from the other side of the cemetery carrying a coffin.

Carl whispered to Surdak that the woman who was holding two children by the coffin was Llewellyn Baron's wife.

Two women in black dresses each hold a child in their hands. They lower their heads and walk very slowly until the coffin is placed in front of the tomb, and the two women with the child stand in front of the tombstone , Then a middle-aged nobleman with a very sad expression read some of Llewellyn Baron's life deeds, and finally put the wooden coffin into the tomb. All the people on the scene lined up and threw the pine and cypress branches in their hands. On the coffin, two grave guards finally backfilled the frozen soil and erected a tombstone.

There is a bunch of white flowers on the tombstone. The surface of this bunch of flowers is frozen with a layer of ice crust. Unless the ice crust melts, it can stay in the north wind for at least half a day.

Miss Brenda, as Llewellyn Baron's lover, can only stand behind the crowd.

The funeral lasted less than two hours before it was over. When he returned, Carl looked a bit solemn. Mrs. Christie asked him what was wrong. Carl shook his head and said nothing. .

Send Miss Brenda home first. When the carriage re-drove into the street, Carl held Mrs. Christie’s beautiful face and kissed him, simply ignoring that Surdak, who was sitting on the opposite side of the carriage, was stabbed. The feeling after the grain, when Surdak hesitated whether to jump off the car and walk back to Knight Academy, the two ended their 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 in the crowd. Behind..."

Mrs. Christie leaned her head on Carl's shoulder, did not say "Okay" or refused.

But in Surdak's view, this is a rejection!

Everyone did not continue to talk about this topic, but talked about the Byrd tax officer.

This tax official is also considered fatal, lost an arm, his chest was almost cut open by the ghost's sickle, but he returned to Helanza these days, the wound has healed very well, recently the In the past few days, it seems that you can get out of bed and walk around. It is said that Miss Hoyle has recently been taking care of the Tax Officer Byrd herself.

The wife of the tax officer Bird died of illness two years ago. He sent his sixteen-year-old son to the battlefield. Now he happens to be alone. As long as the two have some affection, The teenage age gap is nothing at all in the Grimm Empire.

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

Speaking of Miss Hoyle finally has a home, although the tax officer Byrd is not rich in family property, it is a middle-aged uncle with no arms, even when she stands straight, she looks down Without her toes, Mrs. Christie still seemed very happy. After all, apart from the tax officer Byrd, no one in Helanza wanted to marry Miss Hoyle...

The magic caravan has not yet arrived. At the gate of Knight Academy, Surdak resolutely jumped out of the carriage and walked along the long street leading to Knight Academy. He didn't want to sit in the carriage and see Karl's hairy thighs...
