  Chapter 487 486. Da Jinxi's troubles

In the end, Viscount Emmett of the Hailansa Guard Battalion personally confirmed that the Ogre Gullitem was a non-staff member of the Hailansa Guard Battalion. Tem came to Hailansa with a legal teleportation pass issued by the military.

  After the portal guard confirmed Gullitum's identity, the tense atmosphere at the portal was completely eliminated.

  Suldak took the ogre Gullitum to express his gratitude to Viscount Emmett. If Viscount Emmett hadn't come forward in person, he would have to spend a lot of time to let the portal guards let him go.

  The knights of the High Lansa Guard Battalion did not stay in the central square for too long.

Tonight, in addition to the Hailansa Guard Battalion, there are three other Guard Battalions returning to Bena Province from the Maca plane. Suldak followed the Knights of the Guard Battalion to the roadside of the square and began to line up. Before leaving the square, each The squadron leaders of the squadron also need to count the members of the squadron.

  As the squadron leader of the support squadron, Karl was also very busy at this time, holding a list of personnel, counting the knights of the support squadron one by one.

Although it was just nightfall in Wojmara City, it was past nine o'clock in the morning in Bena City. The hour hand of the nearly 100-meter-high huge clock tower on the left side of the square happened to be at the position of 9, and the silver-plated The dial of the clock is shining brightly in the sun.

  The weather in Bena City is not bad, with blue sky, white clouds and clear sky.

  The humid and warm southeast monsoon blows from the Endless Sea to the west coast of Roland Continent.

  In the early spring, the ground was stained with fresh green. Young seedlings burst out of the flower bed on the north side of the square. The air was filled with the fresh smell of grass and trees. The sun shone on Suerdak's face, and the breath of spring was everywhere.

   Unexpectedly, the war on the Maca plane had just ended, and spring came quietly in Bena Province.

The square portal is full of military supplies waiting to be transported to the Maca plane, but more than these military supplies are those swarming merchants. They are isolated outside the square and see the guard battalion knights carrying their bags. Walking out of the portal, they scrambled to make deals with the knights.

  The victory of the war is accompanied by huge interests that are always hidden behind.

The price for the merchants in Bena City to buy trophies is a bit higher than that in Wojmara City. After all, the high tax of passing through the portal is saved. Sell ​​some unimportant ones to the merchants waiting here.

Viscount Emmett and Earl Collins, Commander of the Guard Battalion of Plas City, stood under a fragrant tree, watching the knights pack their luggage. The two commanders said a few words very politely. Viscount Emmett invited Earl Collins When they had time to visit Hailansa City, the knights from the two guard battalions divided into two teams, and each left the portal square along the established route.

The half-elf girl stood on the side of the road, facing a group of buildings that could not be seen at a glance. This main street can accommodate ten carriages in parallel, and the street is full of traffic. Black magic caravans and tall scaled horses are galloping on the street. However, the coachman waved his long whip, as if he didn't care about the pedestrians on the side of the road at all.

  Samila pulled the neckline of her cloak, suddenly from midsummer to early spring, the cold wind poured into Samira's neckline, making her feel a chill.

In contrast, Andrew is much more adaptable. The aboriginal warriors wore the standard armor of the guard battalion, stood among the knights and looked around curiously, while chatting with the knights around him. After getting along for more than a month, this man from Wozhima The native fighters in Lacheng were recognized by the knights of the guard battalion successfully.

  At this time, everyone introduced to Andrew the shops on both sides of the street, and talked about the most distinctive things in Bena City.

Viscount Emmet obtained the location of the temporary settlement of the Hailansa Guard Battalion from the person in charge of the logistics department. The Guard Battalion walked along the main street until noon. The largest block in the city of Bena, I stayed in a circle hotel in the north of Bena City. This is a large hotel that can accommodate thousands of people at the same time. The entire hotel is designed in the shape of a "back", and the inner courtyard can park large Magic caravan.

  Nowadays, most of the large hotels in Bena City are requisitioned by the military to receive knights returning from the Maca plane.

  The knights of the High Lansa Guard Battalion will stay in this hotel for about a week, waiting for the voyage of the magic airship between Bena City and High Lansa.

Although this hotel is not very eye-catching in the city of Bena, in the eyes of Samira and Andrew, this hotel has complete facilities and gorgeous architecture, especially when entering the inner courtyard, the inner corridor erected a circle of nearly fifteen The meter-high Roman columns decorated the hotel like a huge castle palace. Samira stood on the terrace on the third floor and looked at the human statue in the fountain in the center of the courtyard. The shock in her heart was beyond words.

  Suldak and Andrew put their luggage into the room, and when they came out, they saw Sami LS Mira and Andrew leaning against the fence in a daze. They didn't have much luggage, so there was nothing to pack.

  Suldak was going to pick up Aphrodite at the place he had agreed with Da Jinxi, so Samira simply washed her face and waited outside the room.

  The rooms arranged by the hotel are relatively sufficient, and Samira, who is a woman, is allocated a separate room.

The alien status of the ogre Gulitum is still very inconvenient. He will be very conspicuous on the street, and he might be targeted by the guard battalion knights or the sheriff, so Suldak is not going to go out with him on the street, let him Honestly stay in a hotel.

By the time Suldak packed his luggage and was about to leave the hotel, the ogre Gulitum's reward for taking the blame had already begun to be honored. The two cooks from the guard battalion set up a large iron pot in the inner courtyard of the hotel. The stove has already been set up, and several large pots of broth are boiling in the pot. When Suerdak passed by the inner courtyard, the soup in the iron pot was already boiling, and several huge beef bones came out of the soup pot, and the soup was tumbling. With oily flowers, the fragrance is overflowing.

This pot of broth looks very appetizing, but it is quite cheap. It is a thick soup boiled with big beef bones. The two cooks put the beef offal cut into fine pieces into a large bowl, and then sprinkled Some green garlic and herb leaves, the residents of Pena City do not like to eat animal offal, so this kind of beef offal is very cheap in the butcher shop, and the cooks in the army camp cook this kind of offal soup, this thick soup is served with hard scones , for the knights who eat marching rations all day long, it is also a rare delicacy.

   Ogres are very fond of eating animal offal, especially this delicious broth that can be swallowed almost without chewing, waiting by the stove early.

Before the other knights start eating, the ogre will never move first. This is not because he is so polite, but because he often waits until the end, the soup base will be more smashed, and he can get some Big bones with all the meat cooked.

  …

   Walking to the main street of Bena City, Suldak rented a magic caravan on the side of the road.

The magic caravan is the main means of transportation in Bena City. Unless you have enough time, you should consider renting a carriage or taking a public carriage when you go out. However, for people who are not familiar with the city, the route of the public carriage is too complicated. Unless there is a local guide to show the way, it is difficult to know where these long carriages are going.

Andrew was sitting in this semi-new magic caravan, watching the coachman raise his whip, and the two old horses pulled the carriage into the traffic flow on the street. He carefully stroked the soft leather sofa in the car, even He didn't dare to sit still, for fear that the standard armor on his body would scratch a hole in the leather in the compartment. He put the two axes on his knees and clasped them tightly with both hands, a little nervous.

   Sitting in the magic caravan, Samira lifted the hood on her head to reveal her exquisite face, and the half-elf girl opened the window to let the outside air in.

  Suldak said to the coachman outside: "Go to the Golden Perch Tavern at No. 17, Bree Street."

  The coachman took off his hat and made a gesture of understanding, and the magic caravan turned at the next street without slowing down.

  On the sidewalks on both sides of the street, trees flew past the car windows. Samira asked Suldak curiously, "Is the city of Hailansa as big as this?"

  Suldak shook his head and said with a chuckle: "This is the capital of Bena Province. It is much larger and more prosperous than other cities. Hailansa is just a small mountain city, not as big as Wojmara."

Samira looked at the pedestrians scattered on the street, looked around again, and then asked Suldak with some puzzlement: "There are no tyro trees planted on the street. There are so many people in the city. How do you live on it?" ?”

  Suldak thought in his heart: This is probably the inherent thinking of the Wozhimara people. The first thing they pay attention to when they enter a strange city is the Taro tree. It seems that the Taro tree is the minimum living guarantee for this city.

He explained to Samira: "Civilians can choose to work in workshops and commercial firms. The pressure of life here is not as great as imagined. As long as you are not lazy, you can always find a job that suits you. If you want to make money to buy something Bread is not difficult."

   Then there was a silence in the carriage, only the sound of wheels rolling around.

   "How about Da Jinxi's honesty?" Suldak broke the silence and asked.

The half-elf archer withdrew his gaze from the window, turned his head and said, "It's okay, he has a big stall in Wojmara City, and he used to be the leader of our most ruthless slave-hunting group, and then he stopped going outside the city." Hunting slaves in the deep mountains and swamps has turned him into the largest slave trader in the city. At the same time, he also has his own business in Wozhimara. The business he is currently involved in is basically half black and half white. If it is not necessary, he will not give up the city. The foundation here..."

  The magic caravan stopped in front of the Golden Perch Tavern, and Suldak didn't even need to look for the house number of the tavern. Judging from the shimmering perch relief on the plaque, he knew that the coachman had found the right place.

  Suldak paid the coachman a silver coin, and the three jumped out of the carriage, pushed open the door of the tavern and walked in.

  It happened to be afternoon at this time, there were not many customers in the tavern, most of the tables were empty, and the wine girl stood by the wall a little bored, as if she was not interested in selling alcohol in circles in the tavern.

  Suldak walked to the front of the bar, took out the note that Da Jinxi gave him, shook it in his hand, and asked the bartender behind the bar: "I'm looking for Da Jinxi."

The bartender took a serious look at Suldak and pointed behind him. The two strong men standing at the door immediately moved out of the way. Suldak led Samira and Andrew through this dark corridor, and walked into a garden.

Before Suldak walked out of the corridor, he heard a burst of cursing from the yard. Although he couldn't see the people inside through the low bush wall, Suldak immediately recognized that it was Dajinxi's. sound:

   "...What do you guys do for food? You have lived in the Orpheus plane for more than half a year, and you only bring back this garbage from there?"

   Then there were some voices of justification, and it was obvious that the subordinates were a little dissatisfied.

Da Jinxi said angrily: "What I want are Lizard slaves, not these subraces who only know how to make dung, don't leave these dogs and feces with me, and send them all to the slaughterhouse tomorrow morning, do you think the city of Bena Those noble gentlemen here are willing to buy as long as they are slaves?"

  A big man among them said in a low voice: "Boss, what's wrong with kobolds, look at my kobold female slave who can nurse eight puppies at the same time..."

  Da Jinxi almost roared at his subordinates and shouted: "Throw him into the pool outside to wake up, who can tell me why Gadgetzan has been in the Orpheus plane for a while, why is he so stupid?"

  Surdak led Samira and Andrew to stand beside the low bush wall with embarrassing expressions, watching Da Jinxi lose his temper with his opponents.

  Those subordinates were also quite capable of execution, and soon there was a 'plop' sound of falling into the water outside the courtyard.

   "Ahem, it seems that we came at the wrong time..." Suldak coughed twice, and greeted the furious Jinxi.

Only then did Da Jinxi see Suldak standing beside the low bush wall, he tried to slow down his breathing to calm himself down, and then said: "No, no, Knight Suldak, you came just in time, I estimate that you should arrive in Bena City at noon..."

  Da Jinxi ordered to a female assistant behind him: "That half-succubus slave girl is basking in the sun on the roof, Kari, go and call that Miss Aphrodite down, and say that someone is coming to pick her up!"

   "Okay, boss!" The female assistant in tight leather armor turned and left.

   It didn't take long for the succubus Aphrodite to climb over the ridge, jump down from the high roof, and look at Suldak, Samira, and Andrew with joy.

   "How is it? The journey went well, right?" Suldak asked Aphrodite.

  Aphrodite straightened her fluffy hair and nodded.

  Suldak turned around to greet Da Jinxi, and said politely: "Happy cooperation..."

   After finishing speaking, he turned around and passed the low bush wall without looking back, and walked back along the way he came. If it wasn't for Aphrodite, he hoped that he would never have any intersection with these slave traders in his life.

Da Jinxi stood behind Suldak, and shouted at Suldak's back: "I will stay in Bena City for the past few days, if you need anything, remember to come to me, we are in every city of Bena Province We have business dealings…”

   "I will if necessary!" Suldak replied.
