Lord Helanza

In the hottest period of summer, even the wisp of wind blowing on you is warm.

Only in the short period of time when dawn and night alternate, can you feel a hint of coolness in the mountain city.

At this time, people are still immersed in their dreams. Only some night watchmen on the street can turn off the street lights, and then they will cooperate with the carriage to transport the domestic garbage in the city outside the city, those in the park The homeless people on the benches and by the low walls of shrubs on the street were driven away by the sheriffs, and these urban facilities no longer belonged to them during the day.

The night watchman finished the last bit of work, and ended a hard day's work before the first rays of sunlight shone in the city.

In the early morning, the streets of the city become clean and tidy.

The first people to get up are always the small vendors who serve breakfast on the street.

They quickly occupied all the streets in the city, and prepared delicious food in the morning light.

In Helanza, scones and oatmeal are always the main theme at the morning table of the citizens. Of course, some people are willing to try some vegetable soup, fried meat steak, fried fish and mixed chips.

Summer comes, and there will be a variety of fresh jams spread on the crispy scones. It is the most popular breakfast in Helanza.

This summer, a new type of food quietly landed in Helanza City.

In the beginning, it was circulated among the carriage husbands in the carriage business. It was a new type of flour that was very white and delicate.

Carriage husbands call it starch. They use this starch to make a paste in an iron pan and let it cool to become a kind of cold cake. This cold cake was originally fried in frying pan. Eat after browning.

The creative Helanza people redefines this kind of food. They directly cut this cold cake into thin slices and topped it with sweet and sour jam. This way of eating is instead The city is very popular.

It's just that the white and delicate new flour is not easy to buy, and it can only be bought on the free market occasionally.

Surdak got up from the bed, wearing only a pair of linen shorts, and walking topless to the terrace next to the attic, facing the rising morning sun, raised his hands and stretched out, he was covered all over With extremely horrible burn scars, these scars almost covered the whole body, and the fire in the fragments of memory seemed to have taken away his most important things.

Surdak rubbed his head, looked down at his fat belly, turned around and took the bleeding red crescent moon and the brand new round shield from the wall, and stood on the terrace to defend himself Posture, began to repeat the basic movements of sitting and parrying and slashing.

This level of practice cannot improve strength and physique, but it can enhance physical memory.

During this period in Wall Village, he neglected morning exercises and his body had begun to have excess fat. However, Surdak found that these scars did not seem to be terrifying in the eyes of others, and many walked off the battlefield. All of the veterans are all covered with scars, but only some burns on his body.

Occasionally when Natasha hugged him from behind, she put her face on his back and asked him about the battle. Surdak always lightly replied: "Forgot!"

Natasha thought that Surdak didn't want to recollect that nightmare experience, but she didn't know that Surdak really forgot.

Sweat my back, feeling that every group of muscles in my body has been fully activated, and my body's fat began to burn, and Surdak stopped.

both of his hands hold the terrace and look out of the city.

Helanza city is a mountain city, all buildings are built on the hillside, the south is low and the north is high, so you can get a very wide view as long as you climb on the roof, from this hotel in the garden square. See the oak trees covering the mountains and plains.

The city of Helanza in this season is the most beautiful, and it is usually cloudy and rainy. It is difficult to have such a good weather.

Hotel Lady Boss Mrs. Cohen is wearing a thin pajamas, carrying a plate of azure wild fruits and walking onto the terrace. The material of the pajamas cannot cover her chest. A pair of proud car lights in front of her looks a little bit Teasingly landed on Surdak, Surdak generously took the fruit plate, turned to the hotel Boss Cohen, who was in the inner courtyard with alfalfa grass beside the stables, greeted him, and raised the fruit plate in his hand.

Mrs. Cohen gave Surdak a white look, raised her white pointed chin and turned to leave the attic terrace.

In the face of Lady Boss who always makes all kinds of teases, Surdak feels that it is likely that his attitude is not firm enough.

On the terrace on the top floor, Surdak began to consider whether to change to a hotel in Helanza City next time. But in the most familiar place in Helanza City, except for the Knight Academy and the guard camp, there is only this hotel.

He is the kind of person who is willing to be nostalgic. If not necessary, he really does not want to change this comfortable hotel.

Surdak entered the Divine Consciousness Sea, mobilized the divine aura in the body, and was about to light up the more nodes in the waist and abdomen, but encountered obstacles.

If you compare his body to the universe, below the second abdominal muscle is the lower half of the universe, where all the nodes are not illuminated.

The countless lighted nodes on the upper body of the body are shining in the Divine Consciousness Sea, but this extremely bright star sea seems to be only half now, and his lower body cannot light up any of them anyway. Stars, the two spaces seem to have a clear dividing line.

In that space, everything seems to be turned over. In that part of the emptiness Divine Consciousness Sea, Surdak Divine Consciousness can also travel freely, but all the places are dark and chaotic. , His Divine Consciousness wandered for a long time before he found a dark star in a secluded corner. It was a dark purple node. If it was not nearby, the star seemed to be completely integrated into the darkness.

As I approached the dark star, countless emotions of fear, hatred and destruction that grew from within my heart were quickly absorbed by the dark star, and countless scenes of killing on the battlefield instantly swept from Surdak’s mind. It's like a horrible slideshow.

The Divine Consciousness Sea keeps echoing: Tassamate! Tassamate! Tassamet...

Wait until the dark star becomes dark purple, and the closest star to the dark star emits light purple rays of light in the endless darkness.

Surdak looked stunned. He didn’t understand what was going on with his spirit, Divine Consciousness Sea. The aura methods learned in the primary level Knight Academy didn’t apply to him at all. Surdak felt that his cultivation seemed like Is to enter a bottleneck.

He woke up from meditation and found that there was no change in his body, which was slightly sighed in relief.

Having a cold shower and a simple breakfast, Surdak rode out of the hotel and headed to Helanza City Hall.

……

When I came to Helanza city this time, Andrew and Samira were not accompanied.

The main reason is that Surdak is worried that the village of Wall will be attacked again more than half a month ago. After all, until now, the rebel Knights who sneaked into the territory of Helanza have not been cleaned up. For this matter , Helanza guard battalion has dispatched ten Knight platoons one after another.

But those rebels are accustomed to life in the mountains, and at the same time they are more alert and better at lurking than the guard camp Knight.

Once encountered in the mountains, the guard battalion has a large number of people, and the rebel Knights all took the guard battalion Knight to circle in the mountains.

When the guard battalion was small, they simply did not dare to get too close to the rebels.

In order to ensure the safety of Wall Village, Surdak asked Andrew, Samira, Gullitum, and Aphrodite to stay in the village, and Alone rushed to Helanza City.

The city hall of Helanza is not far from the guard camp.

The living pace of residents here is relatively slow, and many people do not want to get up early.

When Surdak came to the entrance of the city hall, he saw many city hall staff rushing over from all directions. Some people even carried bulging breakfast bags in their hands. A group of people said hello. At that time, I was actually still inviting and waiting for the meeting, and if I was not too busy at work, I would have morning tea together.

Seeing Surdak waiting outside early, the guard at the door told him tactfully that he could go to the cafe opposite to sit for a while. Normal office hours here are basically after noon, because Those people have to eat breakfast during working hours in the morning.

Surdak shook the head, indicating that he has made an appointment with someone and that he wants to wait at the door for a while.

The guard saw that Surdak insisted on doing this, so he ignored him.

A gorgeous silver-inlaid carriage drove out of Christie’s Castle and arrived at the city hall not long after.

Anyone who saw this carriage, whether it was a noble or a commoner, took the initiative to give way to this gorgeous carriage.

The carriage stopped in front of the city hall. The carriage quickly jumped from the driver's seat and took the initiative to open the door. A young assistant walked out of the carriage. Then Surdak saw Bernard. Silhouette of Marquis Christie.

He walked down the carriage wearing an exquisite aristocratic dress, stood beside the carriage and paused for a while, then climbed the steps and moved towards the gate of the city hall.

When passing the main entrance of the city hall, the assistant beside him quietly stepped forward, approaching the Marquis Bernard and whispered: "My lord, that is Surdak Baron..."

Marquis Nader Christie slightly startled, lifts the head and looked at the gate of the city hall, only to see a structure Knight standing quietly at the door. Bernard thought he was a little familiar, and he couldn't remember where he had seen him for a while. .

Surdak was able to enter the sight of Marquis Bernard Christie. It was entirely due to the recommendation of Marquis Luther and a group of lords that Charles Your Majesty made an exception to grant the title of Surdak Baron.

Common people are promoted to nobles. Generally speaking, only magicians can enjoy this right. Although warriors awakening magical perceptions on the way are rare, they are not uncommon. Demon Sword soldiers and bowmen often appear in elite battle groups.

Because they have a keen sense of magic, they have Innate advantage when fighting, generally speaking, battle strength is much stronger than ordinary warriors.

But these alone will not allow them to obtain the title of nobility.

Surdak, wearing a magic pattern of the “Earth Shield”, stood erect at the entrance of the City Hall, only looking at his piercing and blue eyes like lake water, the Marquis Bernard suddenly felt his heart. Feeling good, he strode over, stood in front of Surdak, with a friendly smile on his face, and asked him gently: "You are Surdak?"

Of course, Surdak knows Marquis Bernard. The first time I saw the Marquis of Bernard was at a ball invited by Darcy Christie.

He stood up, gave a Knight salute to Marquis Bernard, looked up ahead, and said word by word: "Yes, Marquis Bernard."

The Marquis Bernard took Surdak into the office on the third floor of the City Hall. A female secretary brought the prepared refreshments and placed them on the tea table in the rest area.

As soon as Surdak walked into that office, the Marquis Bernard asked him to walk to the sand table, and then said: "Your outstanding performance in the war on the Maca plane has been reported in the form of a written report. Passed to the Grimm Imperial Capital Charles Your Majesty, the joint recommendation of the Marquis of Luther made you a nobleman. Charles Your Majesty canonized you as a third-class Baron. You must have known this news in advance! This time you will be called to you. Helanza City, the main thing is to study the Baron collar."

The assistant handed a thin stick to the Marquis Bernard.

Marquis Bernard pointed to a mountain in the southern suburbs of Helanza Mountain City, and said to Surdak: "I heard that you don’t want territories on a small plane, so with my authority, I can only let you stay in Helanza. I chose a territory on the outskirts of the city. This manor was once the private territory of Earl Hoyle. Since Earl Hoyle died in the accident last summer, most of his estate is now inherited by his daughter. This farm is Are you interested in taking over the land divided by Hoyle Manor?"

"Although I don't know what concerns you have, I promise to take over this part of the land and there will be no trouble... "

Marquis Bernard Christie added another sentence.

"The two lands of Glenfield Manor and Furnack Manor are also good. I heard Johnny say that you want Baron to be selected as Desolate Land. To expand the circle, it seems to me that this move is not sensible. The Desolate Land is remote and the land is barren. If you want to run there, you need to invest huge manpower and material resources, far inferior to the existing ones in the suburbs of Helanza. The manor is comfortable."

The Marquis of Bernard pointed to the two manor areas on the sand table with a stick, and suggested to Surdak.

Surdak picked up a red flag from a wooden box next to the sand table, turned to the northwest corner of the sand table, leaned forward and inserted the flag on the pustule mountain deep in Desolate Land, smiling. Marquis Bernard said: "My lord Marquis, if I can, I would really like to have a territory here!"

"..."

Bernard Christie looked suspicious. Looking at Surdak, he couldn't understand why he chose this way.

Surdak explained to Bernard: "Master Marquis, I found a sulfur mine in this area. In order to ensure the ownership of this sulfur mine, I want to choose Baron here... "

"Well, as long as you think about it seriously." Seeing that Surdak insisted on this, Marquis Bernard agreed with nodded.
