Lord Highlander

   Chapter 565 554. Before the Harvest Festival

  Suldak dealt with these extremely enthusiastic guard knights at the gate of the city.

   Delayed for a while, then rode on the horse and set foot on the way back to Hailansa City.

When they were in the city of Vozmara on the Maca plane, the knights of the guard battalion did not say anything grateful. Instead, after a few months, they ran to Constantinople by themselves. The guard battalion knights showed their gratitude to themselves.

   After politely rejecting Baron Jude's warm invitation to stay, Suldak's heart became warm at this moment.

On both sides of the avenue are dense forests. There are some pear trees all over the roadside. Some green pears grow on the trees. Only a few pears hang on the top of the trees that cannot be reached. A gust of wind blows through the forest. A heavy pear shook vigorously on the top of the tree.

  The afternoon sun was still a bit hot. Suldak patted the horse's **** hard, and Gu Bolai's horse spread its hooves on this forest road and galloped forward vigorously.

  …

  The moat of Constantinople is only half, and the other half is a stone cliff that is not too high outside the city wall.

The water of the moat is crystal clear, and the river is paved with a layer of stones. In order to draw the river from a few kilometers away, the residents of Constantinople spent several months digging a canal. This river is the source of Constantine. It is one of the most important water sources of the Fort, and almost half of the residents rely on this river for their daily water.

  Lady Annabelle's maid returns to the castle in a magic caravan.

  Iman Owen and Jude were standing by the moat at the gate of the city chatting.

   "Hey, Iman, how did you know Baron Suldak?" Jude leaned on the railing of the drawbridge beside the moat and asked Iman Owen.

  This suspension bridge is suspended over the river. The entire bridge is made of oak, and the handrails of each railing are connected with hemp rope.

   Above the gate of the city, there is a line of words written in Constantinople, and below the words is the emblem of the Owen family made of magic red copper with a diameter of one meter.

"He intends to sell some sulfur mines. It is said that he found a sulfur mine in the territory, so he came to me and planned to sell them to the workshop." Iman Owen glanced at Jude, he and Jude have known each other for a long time Now, I know how proud this knight who is about to touch the threshold of the second turn is.

  He paused, and asked Jude: "By the way, Jude, is this Baron Suldak famous?"

  Jude reached out and touched the thick stubble on his chin, and nodded slightly.

  He had to admit that the light shown by this knight from Hailansa City in Wojmara City covered the outstanding performance of all the guard battalion knights.

  Jude lowered his head and glanced at his right rib. He was wearing the standard armor of the guard battalion, but he could still feel the scar. Every time it was cloudy and rainy, the scar would ache.

  He remembered the battles in Walmart, how crazy those giant hellhounds that were taller than a calf were.

Jude said: "At least in the city of Vojmara, you don't know what he did in the city of Vojmara...At that time, our Constantinople Guard Battalion and Plex City Guard Battalion, Hailansa The guard battalion is a battle group. When fighting the Hellhound, their combat team is always the most eye-catching existence of the battle group. Of course, there is no shortage of such brave knights on the battlefield, and other teams performed very well. , This alone is not worthy of everyone's admiration."

"But he is still a knight with Holy Light. As long as someone is injured, you can find him—everyone. You don't need any reward for minor injuries, and you need to pay a hellhound head for serious injuries. His Holy Light is very effective. As long as it is not a particularly serious injury, he can almost be cured."

   "He doesn't care whether the wounded are local natives or reinforcement knights. He only sees the difference between serious injuries and minor injuries."

"Now, if you mention the name of Baron Suldak in the guard camp, there must be many people who remember him, but why do I feel that he was a commoner knight before, when did he become a noble baron? Could it be that he concealed it before? Lost identity?" Jude was puzzled by this.

   For private goods fighting in Vozmara City, every time a battle ends, there will always be a tent in the Hailansa Guard Camp whose lights will be lit until the end.

Iman Owen seemed to remember some information at once, and quickly said: "I know him, he is the knight with the highest military merit in the Guard Battalion of Bena Province? After my uncle came back, he also praised the knight in Hailansa City." Juekou, it turned out to be him! But I don’t think there is anything special about him!”

   "Maybe, maybe there will be a chance to meet each other on the battlefield in the future." Jude said lightly.

   "What? Is there going to be a war again?" Iman Owen asked in surprise.

Years of wars have led to a significant imbalance in the male-female ratio of the Grimm Empire's population. Plane wars have broken out across the country. Most of the legions of the grand dukes who hold heavy troops are stuck in the quagmire. Duke Newman of Bena Province has The main force of the Bena Legion was trapped in the Warsaw plane.

"Not so fast, but the plane wars are frequent recently, and the Grimm Empire will definitely take action, at least blowing the horn of counterattack in the most critical planes, just watch." Jude's eyes were burning with war, resolute said.

  …

  Suldak rushed back to Wall Village, just in time for the Harvest Festival.

  The wheat in the field has been harvested. Only the vegetable field opened up on the tidal flat is still full of cabbage and cauliflower. The leaves on the pumpkin vines have gradually withered and yellowed, revealing orange pumpkins.

  Pumpkins and cabbages are piled up on the platform in the center of the village square. The women in the village are arranging the village square, and there is a festive atmosphere everywhere.

The straw stacks on the threshing floor are like domed towers. This spring, the wheat field has been fully irrigated, so when harvested in autumn, the ears of wheat will be firmer and fuller. The grains are also all starched. The old village head Brett believes that with the wheat produced this year, together with some tree rice and miscellaneous grains, all the villagers can survive the long winter.

  This winter, there is no need to consider the disaster of a snowstorm crushing the house. The women in the village have already started to go to the mountains to collect various mountain products. Without the pressure of famine, the things they brought back from Oak Ridge are much more beautiful.

Gubo Laima stopped in front of the security station. Not far away from the construction site of the cistern, the main body of the fourth-level cistern was being grouted. The plywood was built like a thick city wall. The outside is surrounded by a larger arc.

  The busiest things in the village were the four-wheeled carriages. At this time, the four-wheeled carriages were still driving into the reservoir construction site one after another.

During this year, I don't know how many axles engraved with the magic circle have been worn out. Fortunately, this thing is easy to buy in Hailansa City. Although it is a bit expensive, Suldak never Won't be saving money on this.

Samira stood on the balcony on the second floor of the police station and said hello to Suldak in the yard. It seemed that she was standing there specially waiting to say hello to Suldak. After saying hello, she was wearing a pair of The linen skirt went back to her room and went to bed.

  Andrew limped out of the security station and smiled at Suldak.

Most of the bandages on his body have been removed. This native warrior is strong and has the strength in the mid-stage of a turn. His self-healing power is far superior to that of ordinary people. In just half a month, most of his injuries have healed. Seeing Sur Dak rushed back from the outside, and he couldn't wait to beg Suldak to let him ride a horse to go around the barren land. These days, he stayed in the security station and ate and slept. After sleeping and eating, his body was about to have a thick layer of armor up.

  Suldak didn't say anything against it. Looking at the bandages wrapped around his body, he jumped off the horse easily, took out a set of brand new guard battalion armor from the magic waist bag, and put them on him one by one.

Adding a set of heavy full-coverage armor, Andrew immediately turned into a big stupid bear, not to mention running, jumping and fighting, and even walking in the yard seemed a bit difficult, so Andrew's idea of ​​going outside to patrol was rejected. Suldak dismissed it.

  Aphrodite was wearing light gauze pajamas, with her elbows resting on the railing. When she bent down, a clear shape of water droplets appeared on her chest, and the pajamas shook gently.

  If it weren't for the two big bulges on the back and the hidden corners between the messy long hair to indicate her identity as a succubus, Suldak would think that she was more like a noble lady who just woke up in the inner courtyard of a nobleman.

  Based on the magic contract of equality, mutual assistance and reciprocity, Aphrodite became less and less concerned about her own image in front of Suldak.

  Suldak bit the bullet, boarded the terrace on the second floor, and sat down on the wicker chair on the terrace. The view here is very good. Sitting here, you can just see the entire Wall Village.

  The succubus Aphrodite lay sideways on the wicker chair opposite Suldak, her nightgown couldn't hide her graceful figure.

   So that Suldak could only keep giving himself psychological hints:

  She's a succubus!

  She's a succubus!

  She's a succubus!

   "Is there nothing going on in the village recently?" Suldak turned his head away and looked at the oak table in front of the wicker chair.

Aphrodite blinked her big purple grape eyes and said with a smile on her face: "Fortunately, the new magician at the Dark Moon Gate is rather timid, and just rode a magic horn around in the evening. I walked around Wall Village twice, and it didn’t appear again.”

   "When?" Suldak asked in surprise.

   "About five days ago." Aphrodite said very casually.

   "How can you be sure that is the magician from the Dark Moon Gate?" Suldak asked suspiciously.

   "Of course I know! Because besides flying around on a magic scorpion, he also likes to cross the portal..." Aphrodite broke her fingers and told Suldak her reasons.

  According to what the succubus Aphrodite said, the person riding the magic handle is really very likely to be the Dark Moon Gate magician.

  Finally, Aphrodite told Suldak that the ogre Gulitum was no longer in the mood to herd sheep in the Beigou pasture, and was counting the days of the Harvest Festival with his fingers every day.

  Suldak waved his hand to show he understood.

  After learning about the situation in the security station these days, he got up and walked down the terrace, riding on the ancient Bolai horse that was gnawing grass by the shrub wall in the yard, intending to drive home.

   "Hey, Captain!" Aphrodite stood on the terrace and called Suldak to stop.

  The last ray of sunlight shone through her body at dusk, making her look like a silhouette in the sun.

   "Um, what?" Suldak grabbed the horse's rein and turned his head to ask.

   "Do you discriminate against succubi?" Aphrodite's smiling eyes were full of narrow smiles.

   "..."
