Lord Helanza

Helanza’s magic guild is a tall round dark gray tower like a birthday cake. The entire mage’s tower is divided into 4-Layer. Except for some exquisite stone sculptures on the top of the tower, The marks of the four elements are erected in the four directions. There is a magician statue on the top of the tower. The magician holds a staff in one hand and a thick magic book in the other. The statue faces southeast. , An electric light flashed occasionally on that scepter.

The Mage Tower is one of the few landmark buildings in Helanza.

The guard at the entrance of the magic tower carefully checked the Knight badge of Surdak, before he was forced to enter the magic tower.

The magic tower has a spiral internal corridor. It is difficult to clearly distinguish the floors from the inside. Some magic apprentices wearing magic robes are holding materials or holding some experimental equipment. The magic materials are in the hall. Shuttle back and forth, let Surdak walk in, you can feel the strong learning atmosphere here.

According to the address left by Francis magician to Surdak, Surdak easily found the magician’s laboratory. It happened that Francis magician had just completed an experiment. After the assistant in the laboratory informed him, Francis magician quickly Walk out of the laboratory.

Surdak explained his intentions, and took out a piece of salamander back and two salamander hearts and stomach pouches from the magic pocket. Francis magician only remembered the words he said a month ago. I bought some salamander meat in the underground market. Didn’t expect that only a month later, the other party really delivered some salamander meat to the door. Francis magician hurriedly asked his assistant to bring a glass container and put two salamander hearts. Into the petri dish.

Then asked the assistant to bring two cups of hot drinks with light blue stars, and sat opposite Surdak and asked curiously: "Are you a professional Fiend hunter?"

"In fact No, I just found some sulfur mines on the side of Paglos Mountain. These big guys also like to eat sulfur mines. If they run out of the mountains and don’t want to hunt them down, they will eat the sulfur mines. So Just prepared some traps." Surdak said truthfully without concealing it.

Francis listened carefully to Surdak's account. At this time, a magic assistant took out a large map of Helanza from the bookshelf and spread it on the coffee table.

Francis magician fingers along the Pagros mountain range all the way down to the vicinity of the pustule mountain, touched it with his hand, and said: "I know, Pais in the depths of the Pagros mountain Some sulfur mines can always be found outside the Volcano, but it is also a bit far away for our magician, and there are dirty volcanic ash everywhere, and the environment is extremely harsh. Are you digging for sulfur there?"

Surdak I didn't expect Francis magician to find out the approximate location of the sulfur mine at once. At this time, he could only say: "The lava river at the foot of Paiste Volcano has some stalagmites with sulfur..."

Seeing Surdak’s hesitant face, Francis magician smiled heartily and said: “Don’t worry, although no one has set foot on Paiste Volcano in the Magic Guild in recent years, it doesn’t mean we don’t know. What is the situation there? Generally speaking, as long as there is a live volcanic crater, there is a high chance of associated sulfur mines."

"I guess you will not climb to the top of that mountain to mine sulfur, you Most of the sulfur mines found at the foot of the mountain are caused by the lava pool of the volcanic crater bursting or small-scale eruption, which caused lava to overflow from the top of the mountain into a river. Those lava washed some of the sulphur-bearing gravel from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain. The sulfur mine you described appears."

"If you want to get richer sulfur, only the volcanic crater near the lava pool can have it, but I don’t recommend that you go to the lava of Paest Mountain. Pond, it’s very dangerous there."

"But didn't expect this sulfur mine can attract salamanders. This only shows that your luck is really good."

Francis Magician didn't hide it either, telling Surdak what he knew.

"Do you know that there are sulfur mines on the pustule mountain?" Surdak asked in amazement.

Francis magician appeared as it should be by rights and said bluntly: "Of course, it’s just that the price of mining is too high. There is no professional alchemy warlock in Helanza, and there is not so much demand for sulfur. Great, who wants to go there to eat ashes, and not the dwarves of the Western Lands, just buying some of this thing is enough for usual magic experiments, but since you have sulfur in your hand, you can take it over and trade with me... market Price!"

Surdak laughed and said, "That’s okay, Francis magician."

Francis magician and Surdak talked freely for about a quarter of an hour. This magician has a lot of knowledge, regardless of Everywhere in Helanza City seems to know well, especially the demonic beast distribution in some mountains. I heard that Surdak's home is located on the edge of Desolate Land, so I asked about the situation there. I heard Surdak say that there will be sand wolves occasionally. Haunted on Desolate Land, Francis magician frowned and said: "If it weren't for being forced to live out, those sand wolves probably wouldn't set foot in Desolate Land."

didn't expect Helanza City Magic Union Actually, I had known that there were sulfur mines in Jibaoshan for a long time, but only because of the bad environment, did I give up the plan to mine sulfur mines.

In the eyes of Francis magician, the mine is probably set up in a volcanic crater, maybe it is a serious sulfur mine.

……

Walking out from the magic guild and seeing that it is still early, Surdak decided to visit Carl at the Casement Mansion.

This time, Surdak’s luck was good. I was catching up with Carl Casement at home. I heard that Surdak was visiting. He hurried to the door to greet him. I saw that Surdak was still wearing the demonic beast leather armor. Carl He smiled and asked: "I came to Helanza City this time, did you report to the Knight Academy?"

"I just came from there," Surdak said.

The two went through the courtyard, and Carl invited Surdak into a living room. It seemed that this should be the place where Carl usually treats guests. Before Carl told him, Steward brought a set with the maid. Afternoon tea, the two of them sat on the soft leather sofa, and Carl said to Surdak: "In Helanza city, if there is anything you need me, just ask me."

"There is nothing wrong with it. "Surdak replied.

When I saw Surdak, he took a look at the steward next to him, and Karl said to steward, "Kingsley steward, please check if there are any delicious muffins or hazelnut cakes in the kitchen. Friends taste it."

"Okay, Carl Young Master, I'm going to prepare it for you!" The steward politely saluted, and after speaking, he took the maid next to him and left, and left the door of the living room. Close it.

The steward was also very winking, and he took away the maids in the living room as well. There was no need for Carl to find any reason to distract them.

"What's wrong, what happened?" Carl asked Surdak.

Surdak hesitated, but decided to tell Carl about it. So he said: "A week ago, a construct Knight entered Desolate Land and investigated some news about the bandits in several villages near Wall Village. I think he seems to have something to do with those bands."

He didn't directly say that Dark Red Knight is a member of the Black Magic Priory. The main reason is that he can't come up with any strong evidence, and everyone has been turned into ashes in the sulfur mine. Now Surdak just wants to know him. The origin.

When Carl heard Surdak say this, he also put away the smile on his face, and said with a serious expression: "Construct Knight? Can you tell me his characteristics."

Surdak After thinking about the dark red Knight's attire, he said: "He is riding a black scaly horse, wearing a full-covered black iron magic pattern, and wearing a dark red cloak..."

When Surdak said those characteristics of his costume, Karl said directly: "You said this is the dark red Knight, a follower of Glenfel Baron."

"But he It’s really mysterious. I usually live in a simple way and don’t have any friends. No one in Helanza knows his true strength. No one has seen him make a move anyway, but some people say that his strength is deep and unmeasurable. You also know the plane. After the war broke out, most of the Knights of Helanza’s constructions followed Legion to take part in the wars on the Warsaw plane. There are currently very few Knights still in the city. "There is almost no need to investigate, and Karl is sure in one bite. His identity.

Surdak secretly wrote down the name of Glenn Phil Baron.

"You said he was related to the bandit group?" Karl asked Surdak.

Surdak nodded, said: “He doesn’t seem to be inquiring about the whereabouts of the bandit groups, but more like investigating the village patrols participating in the bandit groups nearby."

Karl lowered The voice said to Surdak: "The Dark Red Knight incident is related to the reputation of Glenn Phil Baron. Even though he is just a Baron, he has many friends in Helanza, and he is considered a very influential nobleman. He is also a member of the city council of Helanza. His identity is a bit sensitive. Unless he can produce conclusive evidence, any speculation will have no effect on him."

Then Karl said: "Even if you are investigating and patrolling. The team’s news must also have something to do with the bandit group. Maybe it’s for the Bounty Mission on the bulletin board......"

Looking at Surdak frowns, he obviously disagrees with his own conjecture, and Karl hastily. He said: "Okay...I will investigate."

Carl said a little perfunctorily, obviously not believing that'Dark Red Knight is in collusion with the band of bandits'.

Seeing that he could not persuade Karl, Surdak could only be lightly sighed in his heart. He could not show any evidence or act too eagerly. After all, Dark Red Knight died in his hands. Before Knight's crimes were revealed, killing a Knight in the structure was for Surdak to be sent to the court.

Surdak had eaten hazelnut cake, drank two cups of black tea, looked towards Carl and said goodbye.

……

Then Surdak went to a grocery store and bought some daily necessities. After all, there was almost nothing besides a bed and a desk in the bedroom. The inside of the bedroom also needs to be cleaned up, but Surdak doesn’t even have a rag in his hand. All these things need to be bought from the grocery store.

When entering the primary level Knight Academy again, Surdak stayed at the gate for a while, chatted with the guard, and then walked into the gate of the Academy.

In the afternoon, the number of trainee Knights on the playground was obviously much more. Many people in small groups gathered together to communicate, and some even practiced with wooden swords on the playground. Most of these teenagers It seems that he didn’t participate in the coming-of-age ceremony. Surdak walked through this group of youngsters, as if walking in a chest-high reed pond. In his eyes, those thin and thin bodies were not much different from the chickens in the chicken coop. .

Many trainee Knights saw the Knight badge on Surdak's chest and thought he was an instructor in the Academy, and they all stood up straight and bowed to him in a cautious manner.

Looking at the young faces, Surdak couldn't explain anything, so he could only walk across the playground and walk directly back to the dormitory area.

Under the plane tree in the dormitory area, this group of thirteen-fourteen-year-old youngsters are gathering together, probably watching the light leather armor of a teenager. When they walked into the dormitory, they faced each other. Two pretty girls just walked out and saw that they were also wearing the knight robes for trainees in the Knight Academy. Surdak was still guessing how the female students came in this dormitory, and waited until he climbed the third floor from the long corridor. When I passed by, I actually saw two girls talking casually in the room from the door of a half-opened room, and there were some small ornaments hanging in the room. Surdak realized that this dormitory is all 2nd. Year Student's dormitory building, these dormitories are mixed gender.

Surdak patted his forehead hard, and once again wondered if he chose to study at the primary level Academy. Is it a mistake? Maybe he should choose to go to the high level Knight Academy. Maybe in the high level Knight Academy, he and others The age gap between students does not seem so obvious.

But this is the end of the matter, regretting nothing is of no use. For that piece of paper, no matter what the hardships and hardships, you have to grit your teeth and persevere. Fortunately, it is said that only half a year, that is, a winter thing. , Shini Shinobi passed.

Surdak until now is not a patronizing person. It’s not difficult to clean up the room. When you return to the dormitory, you will start cleaning the room. I clean it inside and out. I wipe it several times. The oak floor showed the original dark red paint, the tables and chairs were wiped clean, and the beds were replaced with brand new sheets. This dormitory looked like a living room.

After that, Surdak threw the rag in his hand into a wooden basin, and then sat on the single bed placed against the wall, took off his demonic beast leather armor, and hung it on the shelf. Above, wearing only a linen shirt and trousers, walked to the terrace to deal with the withered flower pots on the railings.
