Lord of Hyranza

This trouble seems to be bigger than expected...

"No, I will leave immediately, this magic crystal cannot stay with us!"

As he said that, Suldak was about to pick up the magic crystal from the table. Aphrodite was a little bit reluctant, so she held down the magic crystal with her hands. The two of them each held one end of the magic crystal. A magic crystal that looked a bit old actually cracked...

Chapter 522 Nobles

Aphrodite stared innocently, and quickly retracted her hand.

The half-broken magic crystal fell on the table with a 'slap'. This crystal was carved into the shape of a key, and now one end is a crystal ring.The other end turned into a crystal straight plate with two jagged teeth inside, and the brand new crack was clearly visible.

"Well, you can make up your mind on this matter. Anyway, I have given you the magic crystal, and you can decide! I suddenly remembered, it seems that there is still something to do, so I will take a step first..."

The succubus Aphrodite smiled at Suldak with a guilty face, turned around and walked out of the security station in Wall Village.

Suldak rubbed his forehead, hesitating whether to hand over the broken magic crystal in his hand.

If you hand over this cracked magic crystal, you may hand over the magic crystal, and you will be questioned by the magic union. Once the magicians who tracked down this matter know that the magic crystal was broken from their own hands, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get rid of the relationship at that time.

Think of this...

Suldak reached out and put the two broken magic crystals into the magic pocket, then stood up and walked out of the security station.

……

During the recent period, the construction of the third-level reservoir project at the reservoir site was suspended. The kobold slaves found some granite from a hill outside the village, and they carved out some stone bars from the granite. These stone bars will be used Pave the village road in Wall Village.

Wall Village is high in the north and low in the south, the entrance of the village is at the lowest point, and the reservoir in the village is at the highest point of the village.

Suldak had long wanted to build a road in Wall Village that could accommodate two wagons traveling towards each other. Now that he had such cheap labor as kobold slaves, he wanted to build this road with gentle slopes on both sides. And the stone road of the gutter, it becomes much easier.

The kobold slaves are now digging drainage ditches on various roads in the village of Wall, so that when heavy rain comes, there will be a few more temporary streams in the village. Whenever it rains, the rapid water flow of this stream will The inclusion of a large amount of sand and gravel caused considerable damage to Wall Village.

Suldak has already planned the streets of Wall Village, and the new roads in the village can allow at least two four-wheeled carriages to drive side by side.

……

When Johnny rode his horse back to Paglos Pass, he inadvertently glanced at the top of the mountain, which immediately made the hairs all over his body stand on end.

On the top of the hill stands a row of wooden crosses, each with the corpse of a rebel knight tied to it.

A flock of carrion vultures hovered above the wooden cross.

As a messenger who specialized in delivering letterheads for nobles, Johnny was familiar with any part of the territory of High Lansa City, and he also knew that the barren land was the most barren land in the entire High Lansa City.

When he passed here before, he had never felt such a creepy feeling.

The fact that Wall Village was attacked by a squadron of rebel knights has already spread in the city of Hailansa, but it is not as good as what I saw with my own eyes.

As for the Suldak knight, he mentioned it many times from a group of friends in the Hailansa guard camp, and every friend in the guard camp praised the Suldak knight.

Johnny whipped the stallion twice across the rear, urging him to hurry through the pass.

Walking out of the mountain pass, I can see from a distance the Wall Village, which is quite different from what I remember. There is actually an artificial canal built in the lower reaches of the river bend, which surrounds a piece of green farmland. If Johnny remembers correctly, here It was supposed to be a tidal flat, but now it looks more like a farm.

Johnny rode a horse to the dead tree at the entrance of Wall Village, where there was a stone tablet with three words clearly written on it: 'Wall Village! '

At the entrance of the village, Johnny saw a work shed that could accommodate hundreds of people. When he rode close to Wall Village, he found a group of kobold slaves laying the road in the village. Looking around, there was actually a high wall built in the upper reaches of the village...

Under the guidance of the villagers, Johnny saw a stalwart knight standing in the village square, pointing to a blueprint on the table, discussing something with a group of people, only looking at the valuable magic pattern structure on his body , Johnny recognized him as Suldak at a glance.

Someone on Suldak's side also saw Johnny and looked at him curiously.

Johnny rode over, looked at Suldak and asked, "Are you the Suldak knight?"

Suldak took two steps forward from the crowd, nodded politely, and said, "I am, what can you do with me?"

Johnny jumped off the horse, carefully looked at the knight badge on his chest, and then handed him a package.And said: "I have a letter from you..."

He handed Surdak a letterhead with the noble emblem on the inkpad.

After receiving the thick envelope, Suldak cut it open with a paring knife, took out the letter paper inside and read it quickly, only then did he know that the letter was from Marquis Bernard Christie :

'Dear Baron Suldak:

Don't be too surprised to see me call you that, yes!

Under the joint recommendation of the lords of Bena Province headed by Marquis Luther, you have been conferred the title of third-class Baron of the Green Empire by Emperor Charles the Great.

The highest honor for a commoner is to be a knight.

Of course, you are an exception.

A knight with the perception of sacred magic elements can practice sacred magic, so you are very lucky to become a magician nobleman. If you have time, please come to the city hall of Hailansa City. You need to Go through the relevant formalities and discuss matters such as the Baronial Territory.

bernard christie'

There is also the seal of the marquis at the signature.

Suldak felt that there were some other things in the paper bag, so he flipped through it again, and found a Warcraft leather noble certificate from it, and a baron badge was also mixed in the bag.

It is said that according to the past practice of assigning territory to magician nobles, this baronial territory will be allocated to a barren small plane.

This kind of small plane was not worthy of being captured by the knight army, so some noble lords organized some cavalry to go there to open up wasteland.

After Suldak became a canonized knight, he owned a knight's collar in the barren land on the outskirts of Hailansa City.

Now that he has become a third-class baron, the original territory will become larger.

Suldak needs to go to the Hailansa Knights to redraw a territory.

According to Marquis Christie, if Suldak didn't mind that the land in the Badlands was barren and sparsely populated, he could carve out his baronial territory between the Badlands and the Pagros Mountains.

Of course, if you are not satisfied with this piece of land, you can also open up a small plane. What kind of barony you can get depends entirely on your own strength.

The Grimm Empire promulgated the "three-three-four" territorial allocation law to open up the territory. The powerful little lords can lead the army to the unopened plane to create a world for themselves.

Chapter 523 Consideration

Suldak was obviously past the age of adventure, and he had no interest in war.

Wall Village is located on the edge of the barren land outside the Pagolos Pass, even so it is not so peaceful, Suldak completely gave up the opportunity to choose a small plane to open up wasteland.

As for the location of the territory, he decisively narrowed the selection to the city of Hailansa.

He didn't want to expand the territory, but Suldak hesitated for a whole night about whether to choose the land in the suburbs of Hailansa. He also thought about whether to take Funa He carved out a piece of fertile land near the earl's manor and became his own barony.

There are three main reasons why he hesitated.

The first reason is that Suldak is currently devoting himself to the construction of Wall Village, and all his family business is here. Once he abandons this place, the loss will be immeasurable.

The second reason is that the knight leader on the side of the Pustule Mountain discovered a lot of sulfur mines. If he wants to continue mining the sulfur mines in the Pustbag Mountain, he must not go too far from here, and he must expand the scope of the territory as much as possible. Only in this way can we ensure that all the sulfur mines in the area of ​​Pustout Mountain are in our hands.

The third reason is that neither the succubus Aphrodite nor Selina can withstand the investigation of the Magic Union Law Enforcement Team, and they should stay away from Hailansa City.

So at night, Suldak asked old Sheila for advice.

When Natasha was washing dishes in the kitchen, she still took the time to make a pot of lemon tea for Suldak.

Rita wiped the dining table earnestly. The rag in her hand was a bit sticky, and it couldn't be cleaned no matter how hard she washed it.

When I was poor and hungry, the food didn’t have so much fat, so I didn’t have to worry about washing dishes and wiping the table. Those bowls and plates had to be washed with hot water at the end, and the last bit of food left at the bottom of the bowl was swallowed together with the soup. Here, meat can be eaten every day now, the bowls and plates are always covered with oil, and even the table is harder to wipe than before.

Standing at the door of old Sheila's room with a tea tray in his hand, Suldak knocked lightly on the door.

Old Sheila's voice came from inside:

"Come in!"

When Suldak entered the room, old Sheila was sitting up from the bed and beckoning him to sit down beside the bed.

Little Peter was sleeping soundly on the wooden bed opposite.

"What's the matter? Duck." Old Sheila asked, staring at his face.

There was always too much in her eyes.

Suldak wanted to pour her a cup of tea.

Old Sheila waved her hand and said, "When you get old, if you drink tea at night, you won't be able to fall asleep..."

Suldak put down the teapot in his hand, and then said: "A messenger sent news today that I can still get some territories. I am thinking about where to choose these territories."

Old Sheila didn't expect that Suldak would say this, so she just asked casually, "Is there anything you can't decide?"

Suldak then expressed his thoughts: "The land in the outskirts of Hailansa City is richer and more valuable. But the barren land is also very good, and some valuable sulfur mines have been found on the pustule mountain. , if the mining continues, it can bring a lot of wealth, but it is too far away from Hailansa City, and in the future, little Peter will go to Hailansa War College to study..."

"So?" Hearing Little Peter's name, Old Sheila became much more sober.

Suldak continued: "I think it would be a good choice if there is a manor outside Hailansa City."

Old Sheila stared at Surdak and asked him, "You want to hear my opinion?"

"Yes." Suldak said.

Old Sheila glanced at Suldak again, then closed her eyes, and the room became silent.

After a while, old Sheila opened her eyes and said:

"I'm used to living here, so I hope you can choose your territory here."

"I know I'm selfish. I'm thinking this way entirely because of Peter. I don't think that child will be as good as you in his whole life. You are a magician nobleman, and the title of nobleman cannot be passed on. Once you are old... If it is gone, these lands will be taken back by the Grimm Empire. If it is Pustule Mountain, the situation may be different. It was originally a place that no one wants, and no one is fighting to occupy it. Maybe the good life of little Peter could live a little longer."

If it wasn't about little Peter, old Sheila would rarely talk so much with Suldak.

"Then... I understand." After finishing speaking, Suldak stood up and walked out of Old Sheila's room with the teapot in hand.

Once the matter was settled, Surdak felt a lot more relaxed, and he began to think about how to re-establish the boundary markers around Pustule Mountain.

Old Sheila looked at the back of Suldak leaving, and gave Little Peter a loving look.

The changes in Wall Village have been rapid, but it seems that they still can't keep up with Suldak's footsteps.

Little Peter was lying on the opposite bed, breathing evenly, and the immature face was filled with the beauty of tomorrow...

……

Messenger Johnny didn't sleep very well last night.

He sat up from the bed and stretched himself, his bones and joints all made 'clicking' sounds.

He rubbed his somewhat sore neck with his hands, and jumped out of bed with bare feet. The floor was actually covered with a flat layer of gray volcanic rock. He could understand that there was no soft velvet blanket, but there was not even a fine-grained oak floor. There are some unreasonable.

The ground was a little cold, and it was not comfortable to step on it, so he quickly put his boots on his feet.

I searched around the room, except for a basin of water in the corner, there was not even a mirror.

He walked to the water basin, and saw the somewhat haggard face floating in the water basin, the eye bags were a little swollen, and the black eye circles looked like a clown in a circus.

Wall Village looks good from the outside, but living in it is completely different.

The houses in the village are still earth-embryo houses, and the beds are also hardwood beds, only a prickly reed mat is laid on the bed. Lying on the bed is not as comfortable as sleeping in a tent, but in order to create an excellent person Messenger, Johnny can only grit his teeth and live in this house.

What displeased him the most was that the village women here rejected him last night. Even though he took out five silver coins from his pocket and gave them the reward, those village women actually looked disgusted and walked away without looking back. up.

The conditions here are really harsh. I didn't expect that Baron Surdak was born in such a mountain village.

Johnny opened the door and walked into the yard, just in time to see a curvaceous woman walking in from outside holding a basket of fruit and wheat cakes, with a faint smile on her delicate face, especially those blue eyes His eyes actually possessed an indescribable charm, as if there were hundreds of thousands of stars hidden in them.

She was wearing a tunic dress, and her slender waist and straight thighs made her look half a head taller than Johnny.

Even in the city of Hailansa, it is rare to see such a tasteful woman.

Johnny stared at the woman's face obsessively, his eyes couldn't be pulled out, but the woman didn't greet Johnny, but turned around and said with a smile, "Dark, the Messenger is awake!"

Johnny woke up suddenly when he heard Suldak's name.

The woman took out a stack of wheat cakes, a clay pot of broth, and a plate of lantern fruit from the basket, and said to Surdak, "I'm going to the children's home. If you come to my place for dinner at night, you must tell me in advance." One sound."

After finishing speaking, the woman kissed Surdak on the face before walking out of the yard with her long skirt.

Suldak walked into the yard and asked Johnny, "Messenger Johnny, are you going back to Hailansa City today?"

Johnny quickly stood up straight and said, "Yes, Baron Suldak, the Marquis is still waiting for your reply. Do you want me to carry a message to the city for you?"

Suldak took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Johnny, and said to Johnny:

"Please help me forward this letter to Sir Bernard Christie."

Johnny glanced at the envelope, the seal had been plastered, he raised his head and asked Suldak:

"Have you decided where to choose the territory? As far as I know, few people can do this to you, and they can only choose their own barony!"

Suldak nodded to Johnny and said:
