Lord Helanza

Helanza Village

A candle was lit in the living room of the police station. The candlelight illuminates the entire room, and the beating candlelight shines on Surdak’s face .

Aphrodite yawned and leaned against the bench by the wall in a black skirt with cut sleeves.

She squinted at Surdak with beautiful eyes. The curvaceous figure is faintly discernible under the skirt. She asked Surdak with some curiosity: "How do you call me at this time?"

Surdak walked to the table, poured himself a glass of water and drank it in one sip, and said: "I am stuck in the showroom of Bradbury Manor..."

The half-elf archer heard this in the living room. When there was movement, she also walked out of the bedroom. She was wearing a linen nightdress. When she saw Surdak, she was a little surprised and asked: "Is something troublesome?"

Surdak shrugged, right The half-elf archer with long hair said: "I just don't want to be discovered, and there is nowhere to hide, so I just hide here."

The native warrior Andrew asked Surdak: "Then you prepare How long to wait here?"

"..."

Andrew’s question made Surdak realize that'Summoning Technique' has one of the biggest drawbacks, and he doesn’t know how long to hide, In order to avoid the people in the showroom, if they stay in the showroom, Surdak can’t tell when to return, so it’s easy to get caught if they rush back.

Aphrodite seemed to see Surdak’s concerns, and said to him: "Don’t worry, if you go back there and find something is wrong, I can summon you back again, maybe before you go back there , You can also drink a bottle of lower invisibility potion, so they may not see you!"

The native warrior asked Aphrodite: "By the way, Afu, keep it in this state, How long can you last?"

The succubus glanced at Surdak, with a teasing expression on his face and said, "At least it can last all night."

Surdak intends to wait more. I will return to Bradbury Manor for a while, so I decided to take this free time to go home and have a look, after all, it was nearly ten days away from home.

Several dogs in Wall Village heard the movement of walking, and they got out of the kennel one by one, and when they saw Surdak, they crawled back into the kennel with their tails in their hands.

The village of Wall at night is very quiet. Several elderly people sit under the chestnut trees in front of their homes to enjoy the coolness.

During the period of Surdak’s departure, three more townhouses were built in Wall Village. Village Chief Bright arranged for the villagers to move in in batches. He did not dare to question the old village head’s arrangement. The main bodies of the small townhouses below have also been erected, just waiting for the tripod to be hoisted up on the roof and then covered with blue tiles.

He glanced at the small building where Selena lived, and after thinking about it, he walked towards the house.

The big villa in the new home is too big for the old Sheila, Rita, Natasha and Little Peter. The gorgeous furniture has a smell of wax and soft carpets. There was still a lightly smell on the house, everything in the house was brand new, and there were many things that I had never dared to think of before, and now suddenly I have all of them, just like dreaming.

Rita used to see the high court compound where the noble lords lived in Helanza, and she envied and looked forward to one day being able to live in that kind of spacious and bright house.

Now that she finally lived in a large and spacious house, Rita realized that...want to feel the warmth of home, in fact, the home really doesn’t need to be that big. Now whether it’s Old Sheila or Natasha Everyone has their own room, and so does Little Peter. Although the house is filled with furniture, it feels like the house is still empty.

With Surdak’s current conditions, it is possible to hire a cook and a groom, but Old Sheila thinks that whether it is a cook or a groom, there are so many women in the family, you can do it yourself by cutting the lawn and cooking. Hire people.

Everyone is used to sitting together for a while after dinner. Even if there is no topic to talk about, they will spend a while in the living room with a fireplace on the second floor.

Old Sheila was drowsy leaning on the rocking chair by the fireplace.

Little Peter is sitting on the carpet with building blocks. Children in the village have recently played a popular house building game. These building blocks are leftovers from the roof tripod made by the carpenter’s workshop. It has accumulated a lot. Of course, the set of blocks in Little Peter's hand is the best. Not only is it flat and smooth, but the surface is even coated with a layer of varnish.

Rita and Natasha got together and studied how to cut a piece of linen cloth.

Surdak opened the door and walked in. Everyone in the room was stunned. Old Sheila opened her eyes and asked Surdak, "Why are you back? Didn't you say you are going to Pena City?"

"Come back for a while, and I will leave later." Surdak replied as he walked into the room.

Natasha stood up quickly, greeted him and helped Surdak untie the breastplate, and skillfully hung it on the wooden frame by the wall.

"Have you had dinner?" Seeing Surdak look like he has endured the hardships of a long journey, Old Sheila asked again.

Surdak scratched his head, laughed and said: "No, there is nothing to eat at home, I just happen to be a little hungry."

"There is still some oatmeal, do you want to Fried a steak?" Natasha asked.

Every time Ogre Gulitum eats lamb, he will leave a leg of lamb or several steaks here, so the steak can be eaten at home.

"Don't be so troublesome, just eat a little." Surdak shook the head, said to Natasha.

"The steaks are all marinated, just fry them. It won't be too troublesome!" Natasha hurriedly walked to the kitchen and said as she walked.

After dinner, Surdak sat for a while before putting on his armor and preparing to leave.

Little Peter was already asleep in the bed. He walked to the bed and tucked a silver dagger under the pillow, kissed his forehead, and hurried out of the house.

……

In the empty showroom stood a group of young nobles. Under the guidance of'low light illumination', they turned along the empty wooden racks and booths. In a circle.

Several noble ladies were guarded in the middle of the team and wandered around in the deserted manor at night. This novel experience made them feel particularly exciting, even more interesting than the experience held in the Academy.

Soon these youngsters discovered the relief on the wall. Everyone stood in front of the false door and looked at the relief mural curiously.

A group of youngsters are discussing how there is such a door in the Bradbury family’s showroom, and they are looking for a way to open the door, and then a secret road appears. .

Just as everyone was making infinite associations with this, Jimmy suddenly felt the mana fluctuations on the stone wall.

As a magician, he is very sensitive to this kind of mana fluctuations. Especially in this state of high mental stress, that trace of mana flows through the wall reliefs, suddenly making Jimmy change Be very alert.

He carefully observed whether this stone gate relief would hide a magical array, and approached involuntarily two steps.

As the light ball of the'low light illumination technique' approached the relief of the stone gate, Jimmy really found a different place on the stone gate, and the gem base in the center of the stone gate was actually inlaid With a magic crystal, the embedded structure allows the magic crystal to hide in the shadow under the shining of the light, so no one can find that there is a magic crystal hidden in the shadow.

"Look, what is this?" Jimmy stared at the magic crystal and called his companion.

There was a layer of sweat on his forehead under the shining ball of light.

The young nobles gathered all of a sudden, and everyone followed Jimmy's fingers and finally found a magic crystal in the shadow of the stone gate.

The sword and shield warrior named Luke stood in front of the shield and stared at the magic crystal. The light ball floating in the air dropped little by little, so that the magic crystal was clearly exposed. Before everyone’s eyes, someone behind the team said:

"I heard that what the rebels snatched from Bradbury Manor was a magic crystal, do you think it was this one?"

Others said one after another: "How is this possible!"

Jimmy did not feel the mana fluctuations anymore, he reached out and touched the magic crystal that was tightly embedded in it, looking for the wedge of the magic crystal.

When this embedded magic crystal is installed, it will be considered to be disassembled. Generally, a wedge is left, and the magic crystal can be pried out with a sharp dagger.

Jimmy soon discovered the wedge, and he reached out to touch the dagger at his waist.

"I heard that the missing magic crystal is in the shape of a key." Long-legged beauty Judean stood in the crowd and said to her close friend Cora.

"This must be a fake." Cora with a sharp chin and big eyes said.

However, as Jimmy used a dagger to pry out the magic crystal in the relief groove of the stone gate, another noble lady Agatha held her breath and said with a trembling voice:

"Maybe it's true, look..."

As Jimmy's dagger moved, the exposed magic crystal was clearly in the shape of a handful.

At this time, everyone’s attention was on the magic crystal, but as Jimmy suddenly felt the resistance of the dagger lighter, the magic crystal slowly came out from the groove and the front end of the magic crystal fell off. , Was subconsciously caught by Jimmy, and another piece of magic crystal was still embedded in the groove.

Jimmy just felt that his heart trembled with the magic crystal.

"Ah, it cracked!" A group of young aristocrats cry out in surprise behind them.

Jimmy took a deep breath, in a spurt of energy, pried the remaining piece of magic crystal out of the groove, put the two pieces of magic crystal in the palm of his hand, and really put it together into a whole piece. .

At this time everyone stopped talking, everyone was staring at the magic crystal in Jimmy's hand.

Sword and shield warrior Luke is considered to be one of the organizers of the adventure group "Warrior and the Rose". At this time, he quickly stood up and said: "To be honest, this is definitely a major discovery. We can find some Let’s take a professional appraisal to see if it is the rumored crystal key. No matter what, we didn’t come for nothing this time."

Jimmy held the magic crystal and told everyone "Perhaps a gem craftsman can repair it. I happen to know a friend who is a famous gem craftsman. I can ask him for help."

However, other young nobles seem to have different opinions. Someone immediately said:

"We must not tell this secret. If this is really the crystal key, then there must be the biggest secret hidden in it. We can look for clues together, maybe we can find the dragon The treasure..."

When someone said this, everyone's breathing has increased a bit. It seems that there is not only one person who thinks this way.

……

The person hiding in the display cabinet at first thought it was the tricks of these young noble envoys, but when he heard it, he felt less and less Right.

He has not been to this showroom recently, and has never found anything.

The stone gate relief on that side has also been carefully inspected more than a dozen times, and even the details of each carving are in his heart. He has never seen the embossed on the stone gate relief. Magic crystals, and these noble youngsters said the truth!

"No, what they said is true."

The man moved slightly in his heart, thinking about pushing open the wooden door of the closet to charge ahead and grab the crystal key. Get it.

He was holding a magic scroll in his hand, and he swiped the Magic Talisman quickly with his other hand, chanting incantion in a low voice, and a Fireball bursting and burning appeared in front of him. As he whispered softly: "Go..."

A Fireball exploded from the closet, and the tumbling flame engulfed the broken wooden cabinet door moved towards a group of noble youngsters and rushed over.

The incident happened suddenly, almost everyone focused on the magic crystal, and simply no one noticed the situation all around.

The fire bomb exploded in the crowd, and the flames immediately enveloped everyone.

A silhouette wearing a magic robe rushed out of the closet, and he rushed to Jimmy the moment the Fireball burst.

Jimmy was hit by the huge thrust of the exploded Fireball against the stone wall. His whole body was so painful that he was dizzy. He felt a silhouette rushing over and breaking his fingers. Open, grabbed the magic crystal that was broken in half, and rushed out of the showroom.

"Someone robbed the magic crystal..." Jimmy yelled exhaustedly.

Several young aristocrats who were not too affected by the fire bomb heard the sound and immediately moved towards the silhouette and chased them.

In spite of the whole body pain, Jimmy got up from the ground gritted his teeth. He saw the long-legged beauty Judeen guarding the two girlfriends around him. Although the three were very embarrassed by the fire bomb, they were just Her long hair was scorched, but her body was not injured. The faces of the three noble ladies were exploded by fire bombs, making them a little dark.

The two female archers responded quickly and successfully avoided the impact of the fire bomb at the moment the fire bomb exploded.

At this time, he got up from the ground and chased after the two knight-errant moved towards outside the display room.

Jimmy gritted his teeth, did not immediately chase out, but moved towards the more seriously injured sword and shield warrior Luke walked over. Just now, the sword and shield warrior Luke reacted the fastest, and he, he took him from his arms I drew out a magic scroll, and after unfolding it in his hand, there was a short incantion, and a white light filled with water vapor fell on Luke.

This is a'hydrotherapy' magic scroll. The magic light falls on Luke, which immediately stabilizes Luke's injury.

"Leave us alone, go after the robber who grabbed the Crystal Key..." Luke supported his body with one hand and said eagerly to Jimmy.

Jimmy quickly nodded, got up and followed the silhouette with everyone.
