Lord Helanza

Autumn every year is also the busiest time in Helanza.

The oak fruit in the forest is almost mature. At this time, buyers from all over will gather in Helanza City. They only come here for one purpose, that is, covering the mountains and plains. Gold and silver acorns, these acorns are a favorite fuel for the nobles.

In winter, just throw these acorns into the fireplace, and when the acorns burn, the whole room will have a lightly fragrance of trees.

When Surdak walked down from the airport terminal, the large area of ​​the airport terminal used to be filled with crates of acorns. These acorns are all ready to be transported to other places by magic airship. There is also more between.

Receiving the reins handed over by the crew of the airship, Surdak took Gubolema out of the airport town, feeling the warm afternoon sun.

This time Surdak returned to Helanza City. I felt that the biggest change was that the White Elephant Trading Company and the underground trading market were both closed. The big White Elephant Trading Company seemed to be overnight. Suddenly disappeared, leaving only an empty circular building.

Surdak thought of the Dalle magician who was very caring about him until now. He asked many ways, but did not find any news about him. Even the investigation files of the guard camp only vaguely stated. He used to have some connections with the old rebel army. His younger brother was a senior in the rebel army. It is said that he died many years ago when the Duchess Jingyue put down the rebellion.

The next day, Surdak sold a vacation at Sauron Great Captain, and rode back to Wall Village.

When I walked to the Paglos Pass, those wooden crosses were still erected on the top of the mountain, but a large piece of wooden frame was actually erected on the side of the pass, which looks like something to build, some carriage Continuously unloading volcanic ash.

When Surdak came to the mountain pass, he found that there were two wooden frames built. The concrete buildings in the two wooden frames have begun to take shape. It is clear that two arrow towers are located on both sides of the mountain pass. The bricklayer in the village squatted on the wooden frame and kept stacking the two arrow towers.

A group of guard battalion Knights sat in the pergola next to them. The villagers, caravans and adventure groups passing by had to go to the pergola for routine inspections.

The villagers of Wall Village standing on the top of the wooden frame saw Surdak coming on horseback from a distance, stood up continuously moved towards Surdak, waved, and loudly shouted: "Surdak is back..."

I don’t know when, Surdak’s position in Wall Village has surpassed the Chief Bright. When he came to the pass, the craftsmen of Wall Village greeted him one after another, followed by guards on duty at Paglos Pass. Battalion Knight, these guard battalion Knights are all supporting platoon, and they usually have a close relationship with Surdak.

Surdak was riding a horse next to the pergola, and while responding to Knight who greeted him, he asked: "Why are there two arrow towers built here?"

"Not only that, here will be the future An arch is also to be built. This daoist sect can be regarded as completely separating the Paglos Pass from the suburbs of Helanza City. This can be regarded as an extra barrier outside Helanza City.” Support Small Captain of the second squad of platoon. Come out and explain to Surdak.

"Here is the need to set up an arrow tower guard that is always on duty here?" Surdak frowned, the guard battalion and the city defense department in Helanza are already bloated enough, and now they have to defend in the city of Helanza. The additional manpower for the equipment department will only increase an additional burden for the residents of Helanza City.

The second squad Small Captain complained: "No way! Who made the rebels so rampant recently? Someone must watch them! And the construction of this arrow tower will not increase the number of people. In this situation, it is considered that the three squads of our support platoon are completely contained here, and the temporary checkpoint on the arrow tower will be cancelled!"

Stayed for a while at Pagros Pass , Surdak rode back to Wall Village.

The dead tree at the entrance of the village of Wall still bears the sign of the village of Wall, but there are many small traders and hawkers in the open space outside the entrance of the village. It seems that a small market has formed here. A month ago, this The market has just taken shape, and didn't expect has already developed a scale now.

A group of adventure group members were bargaining around one place, and their voices spread far and wide.

Surdak led the horse around the small market at the entrance of the village. In addition to food, groceries, and magic scrolls, craftsmen who maintain leather goods and repair ironware also appeared in this small market. Unfortunately, magic herbs are scarce. , The magic potion is still in short supply and will never appear in such a small market.

Some adventure groups will camp outside the village to set up tents, and some adventure groups will rent out the townhouses in the outermost part of the village. The rents for townhouses here are not expensive, and they provide shelter from the wind and rain. Wooden beds and wooden tables are placed in the idle townhouses, which are very convenient to use, just like a village bed and breakfast.

The camps of the kobold slaves moved to the row houses near the mouth of the river, which is relatively remote, lest anyone sees them living in the same row of houses as the kobold slaves and cannot accept it in their hearts.

After entering the village, the townhouses in the village have also been built to the end. Only three townhouses need to be topped with herringbone. The other townhouses have basically been delivered to Wo The villagers of Er village and the remaining bricklayers have already begun to re-pave the roads in the village. All the roads that connect everywhere are paved with volcanic ash cement, and there are drainage ditches on both sides of the road.

Looking from the entrance of the village to the mountain valley, these townhouses are like a neat row of stairs, arranged one after another on the hillside.

There are still five cauldrons on the village square. Multigrain porridge and stewed vegetables are boiled in the large iron pot. On the other iron plate, two village women are continuously making scones. It was preparing dinner and after the entrance of the village became a small market, the children in the village could only play in the square in the village. Old Sheila and a group of elderly people sat under the tree to enjoy the coolness, and Little Peter mixed with a group of children and ran under the sun. Brow beaded with sweat.

Signa squatted at the door of the children's home, looking with some envy at the children who kept running hard.

She first spotted Surdak who had returned from riding, and she stood on a stone at the door and moved towards him and waved.

Then there were children playing in the village square. Little Peter mixed in, and when he saw Surdak, he moved towards him and rushed over,

Surdak jumped off his horse and hugged him. He flew at the little Peter, and raised him high, causing little Peter to'chuck' non-stop.

Surdak held little Peter in one hand, and took the horse in the other, and came to Old Sheila to say hello to Sheila.

Old Sheila just pursed her mouth nodded, and said to little Peter: "Hurry down and let your father take a rest. He travels fatigue all the way..."
