Lord of Hyranza

"You may not remember, I sold salamander meat in the underground market..." Suldak replied hastily.

"Oh... so it's you, I said why do you look familiar, so it's you..." Magician Francis smiled and sat across from the two.

Lance directly expressed his intention: "Master Francis, we came here to find you, and we want you to repair a set of magic pattern structure..."

"Is it your magic pattern structure?" Magician Francis turned to Suldak and asked.

Surdak nodded.

Francis said to Suldak: "You might as well take it out and show it to me. I am only good at repairing several magic pattern structures, and the damage must not be too serious. Of course, if it is the common general type, and On the other hand, magic pattern constructions with special magic patterns usually need to be repaired by the creator himself."

Suldak took out the 'Earth Shield' magic pattern structures from his magic pocket, and placed them on the wooden table one by one.

Seeing the breastplate of the 'Earth Shield' suit, Magician Francis frowned, and muttered: "You actually have this top-level magic pattern structure, let me take a look..."

He lowered his head, first looked at the breastplate of the magic pattern structure with a serious face, then turned over the trousers and shoulder pads, checked for a long time before raising his head and said to Suldak: "This set of magic pattern structure The damage is quite serious, but fortunately the core part of the magic pattern has not been seriously damaged, otherwise it would be quite troublesome to repair."

"So, you can repair this magic pattern structure." Lance approached the Francis magician and asked in a low voice.

There was a hint of pride on Magician Francis' face, and he puffed up his chest and said to Magician Lance, "Of course! There will never be more than three inscribers in the entire city of Hailansa who are qualified to repair this top-level magic pattern structure. Bit, I can barely count as one of them, you may not feel how complicated this set of 'Earth Shield' magic pattern is, but it is definitely the most difficult to repair in the first-turn magic pattern structure, fortunately its main magic matrix There's nothing wrong with it, and even then it would take me three days to fix it."

Lance nodded repeatedly, and said to Magician Francis: "So you agreed? Can we come to pick it up in three days?"

"Yes!" Francis agreed.

"Mage Francis, in terms of remuneration, you need many magic crystals..." Lance asked.

"How about this, I will repair this set of magic pattern structure first, different types of magic dyes will be used in the restoration process, and finally Linda will do the final calculation! Also, next time there is salamander meat, remember to Remember to give it to me first!" Magician Francis said after thinking about it seriously.

The female magic apprentice waiting aside smiled at Lance, her eyes were like two crescent moons.

Suldak and Lance then bid farewell to Magician Francis. Lance returned to the magic laboratory to continue his unfinished experiments. Suldak then went around and came to the room of Scholar Ferdinand Outside, he knocked on the wooden door engraved with intricate magic patterns.

Chapter 560 Obstruction

Scholar Ferdinand sat on a chair, talking to Suldak about his recent experiences. He is currently researching the subject of how the hide of a monster is combined with the human body. Scholar Ferdinand wants to use several simple methods The medium allows magicians with the same attributes and affinity to graft the same type of magic leather. For this reason, he even transplanted a piece of the back armor of the fire scorpion on his arm, but unfortunately this experiment ended in failure.

Although everything was well prepared, the Fire Scorpion Demon Skin still repelled Scholar Ferdinand so much that he still had a large wound without skin on his arm.

Although hydrotherapy was used, such a large wound could heal completely quickly.

Even though two days had passed, Suldak still felt a little shocked when he saw the wound. Fortunately, the wound was not infected because of the proper treatment.

Ferdinand Scholars told Suldak that perhaps it was because of insufficient healing power that the Fire Scorpion Demon Skin repelled his body. They all have a high affinity for the Fire Element, but it is a pity that When combining, the two fire attributes cannot be fully integrated, and several media seem to be not quite right.

The teapot on the iron stand was burning like a 'chichi', and the magic apprentice at the side realized it, quickly put away the magic scroll of 'Focus on Fire' below, and poured hot tea into the teacup, and the scent of lemon immediately wafted into the teacup. out.

He was so fascinated by the sound that he didn't even notice the teapot was boiling.

Scholar Ferdinand said to Suldak: "Last time we talked about the life magic pattern... At present, it is still a very long process to transfer the magic skin with the life magic pattern to the human body. According to the news from the imperial capital, someone found a life magic pattern on the head leather of the tidal murlocs, and it is very likely that every murloc has such a life magic pattern, but the collection process is very difficult. The Life Mosaic is a hidden Life Mosaic that is very complicated and difficult to find the rules, so how to completely peel off this Life Mosaic is the biggest problem for skinners at present."

"The price of murloc leather in the imperial capital has increased twenty times compared to a month ago. I think this group of guys are crazy." The Ferdinand scholar's expression was a bit exaggerated, and he couldn't understand it at all. He was obviously only in an academic Murloc leather in the research stage has skyrocketed to such an extent in a month.

"It is said that hundreds of adventure groups flocked to Ignaz in Palestina Province, and they all planned to go through the portal to the Vashki plane to hunt murlocs. I really don't understand the Vashki plane. How many murloc tribes are there for these adventurers to hunt..."

Speaking of this, the Ferdinand scholar expressed a bit of regret, wishing that he could immediately cross the portal and head to the imperial capital.

"It's a pity that I was not in the imperial capital at the time. It is said that the magician made a public demonstration of the hidden life magic pattern on the murloc leather. Speaking of it, the atmosphere of magic academic research in the imperial capital is relatively strong, and you can see it everywhere. to an excellent mage engaged in magic research." Ferdinand scholar said.

"By the way, you are a skinner. Have you noticed how to ensure the integrity of a piece of leather?" Ferdinand scholar asked Surdak.

Suldak took the cup of hot tea from the magic apprentice and nodded his thanks.

Then he replied to the Ferdinand scholar: "Well, when I was in the Warsaw plane, I peeled a lot of black-striped demon skins, and generally they can be peeled completely, but in the process of peeling, after all, this black-striped demon skin was damaged. How many hidden veins are there in the magic skin, to be honest, this is not easy to grasp."

"I was in the Seventh Armored Infantry Regiment at the time. I was the only person in our team who was good at skinning. When collecting spoils on the battlefield, my main task was to peel off the black-striped demon skins from the evil spirits and hand them over to the military headquarters , The black-striped devil's skin can be exchanged for more military merit than the head of the evil spirit. It is said that these black-striped devil's skins will be used for research by magicians." Suldak said.

"They want to research some magic scrolls that are specially aimed at evil spirits. Speaking of which, those guys in the temple can restrain evil spirits. It's a pity that this group of priests and battle priests are just at the stage when the plane war just broke out. They all evacuated from the Grimm Empire, and finally the remaining priests also hid in the temple and refused to come out." Ferdinand scholar complained.

"By the way, I recently successfully transplanted the fire scorpion's scorpion tail to the Cerberus. This is a cross-attribute attempt, but the Cerberus died before it lasted long."

After Scholar Ferdinand finished speaking, he pointed to a dismembered salamander soaked in a glass container beside it. Now only half of the body remained in the jar, soaked in the oily green solution, it looked Very disgusting.

Suldak admired his magic apprentice a little bit. Without a strong heart, he really couldn't bear the daily experiments of Ferdinand scholars.

Scholar Ferdinand knew that Suldak had already mastered the Holy Light Art, so he wanted to invite him to conduct a transplant experiment together, and Suldak readily agreed.

However, since the experimental materials are not ready yet, this experiment can only be postponed indefinitely.

……

In the restaurant on the first floor of the Garden Plaza Hotel, Suldak and Karl sat opposite each other. On the table was a plate of white bread spread with butter and jam. On the plate was a viscous sweet corn milk soup, and the milk was slightly boiled. Thick, and with a little too much maple syrup, it tastes sweet and greasy.

Mrs. Cohen was very bold in wearing a skirt that exposed a large white back, and she had already walked past the two people with a plate three times. Karl did not tease her sexy skirt, which made the proprietress Mrs. Cohen I wonder if my charm has declined recently.

Carl's complexion was a little uncomfortable, and his speech became a little hesitant.

Surdak simply put down the white bread in his hand and stared up at him.

"Dark..." Carl said, "There have been some changes in your promotion to the squadron leader. In today's parliament, your letter of appointment in the security squadron at the Pagros Pass has not been fully passed, so this matter will be announced in the Half a month later, there will be another vote at the general assembly attended by all MPs, and sometimes, these MPs are really boring."

"Is it because of this?" Suldak rubbed his forehead and asked Karl.

Karl blinked, not understanding what Suldak wanted to express.

Suldak picked up the unfinished white bread again, and said to Karl with an indifferent face: "If it's just because of this, well, it doesn't matter, I don't care about taking the extra half a month's salary."

"Don't you even care?" Karl Fox looked at Suldak's calm face and asked suspiciously.

Suldak stuffed a spoonful of sweet and greasy milk corn into his mouth, and asked casually: "Isn't the current duty of the public security station responsible for the security of the entire barren land? Or after the establishment of the security squadron, I can have More power or some convenience?"

After speaking, he wiped his mouth with a napkin. This thing is really inedible.

Karl shook his head. Suldak continued to serve as the sheriff of the Badlands, and this would not change.

Suldak took a big sip of water, and then said, "Then why should I care? Is it just for the salary of tens of silver coins every week? Or has my status in Hailansa improved significantly since I became the squadron leader? "

"You seem to have some truth in what you say, but I think you may need to know who voted against you in Parliament." Carl said.

Suldak looked up at Karl.

Carl squeezed out a forced smile, and said to him: "It's the Earl of Bulwer, he is the deputy speaker of the Hailansa Council, and he has a certain influence in the council. I don't know why he suddenly voted against it this time. , the MPs who were in the same camp as him all voted against you, including my father..."

The surname Bulwer sounded familiar to Suldak, and he immediately thought of Darcy Christie's fiancé, oh!She should have been her husband by now, Lord Armand Bulwer.

Suldak smiled. In his opinion, this is not a big deal, and he didn't intend to be the squadron leader of the security squadron of the barren land of the guard camp.

Without expectations, there is no loss.

So he asked Carl, "Is that why you've been a little bit down all night?"

"Sorry, Duck." Carl said apologetically.

Suldak smiled indifferently and said: "It's not your fault, why do you have to apologize, and I think I can understand Earl Casement, the situation at the time did not allow him to have another choice."

"Hey, Dak, if you want to be promoted to the title smoothly, the position of squadron leader is still a bit important to you. Look at me, for this position of squadron leader, I have spent more than two years in the guard battalion support squadron..." Carl solemnly Said to Suldak.

Suldak almost pinched his nose, stuffed the sticky milk corn on the plate into his mouth, flushed it into his stomach with clean water, and then said to Karl: "I didn't say it's not important, it's just that there is no you Thinking about it is so important, I just want to build all the houses in Wall Village before winter comes, by the way, I almost forgot to ask you, how is the villa in your manor?"

Carl only said: "If everything goes well, it will be completed by the end of next month, but I need to make a good arrangement, and I want to move in, at least until tomorrow summer..."

Mrs. Nian Keen, the boss who was standing not far behind the two, saw that Suerdak ate all the milk corn she made in one go. Dak is still a discerning person. Thinking of this, she puffed out her full chest and scooped up a large spoonful of sticky milk corn on Suldak's plate with lightning speed.

"..."

Suldak saw a large lump of food on his plate, stared straight at the plate, unable to say a word...

Chapter 561 Small gathering

After the closure of the White Elephant Trading Company, the residents of Hailansa City suddenly found that the prices of magic items that were very friendly to the people in the past have risen. Although the magnitude is not large, the practices of these magic shops are a bit disgusting.

Another purpose of Suldak's coming to Hailansa City this time is to find a business company that can purchase sulfur mines for a long time and continue to cooperate.

In the past, he sent all the sulfur ore to the White Elephant Trading Company, and they have been working together happily, but now he has to find another trading company to maintain the sulfur ore business.

Due to the full-scale outbreak of the Grimm Empire Plane War, all kinds of resources and mines are in a state of shortage. Several planes that cultivate magic herbs are all caught in the flames of war. The price of magic herbs in the market has reached unprecedented heights.The plane of Angela was attacked by the Nacoma, and the price of mithril ore has been rising recently, and other magic materials have also increased to a certain extent. The price of sulfur ore has recently increased from the original three silver coins per pound to five. Silver coins/lb.

Suldak decided to go to the military supply department of the city hall to check the official purchase price first. The receptionist at the military supply department was very polite, but unfortunately the official public purchase price for sulfur mines was only three silver coins per pound, although this was lower than half a year ago. However, this is a full two silver less than the purchase price on the market, so Suldak does not intend to send the sulfur ore to the Military Quartermaster.

Hailansa is not a big mountain city, and several other trading houses are open on both sides of the central street. Suerdak rode to the central street. There are many small vendors selling gold and silver acorns on the street. When the residents of Lansa City were enjoying their lives, the streets were very lively, with magical caravans flocking to and fro on the streets, and some colorful lights were hung on the trees on both sides of the street. Obviously, this was for the Harvest Festival two weeks later.

At the intersection of the cross street, there is a firm called Shancheng Trading. The entrance is very busy with people coming and going. Looking into the hall along the entrance, there are also many customers inside. The shop is filled with various linen, cotton, wool and leather. Probably before the coming-of-age ceremony, many families need to prepare a decent dress for the child who is about to grow up.

When Suldak came to the door of the store, the clerk greeted him warmly and asked Suldak respectfully:

"My lord, what can I do for you?"

Surdak jumped off his horse, handed the reins to the clerk, looked inside, and asked him again, "Are you the store manager?"

The clerk shook his head quickly, and Suldak said, "Take me to your manager..."

"My lord baron, what do you need?" A well-dressed middle-aged manager greeted him and said to Suldak at the door.

He didn't wear a badge on his chest, so he shouldn't be a nobleman. Suldak nodded slightly and asked him, "Does your firm buy sulfur mines?"

"We mainly deal in all kinds of cloth and wool, and we also dabble in high-grade leather. We also buy acorns this season, but we don't deal in magic ore products." The manager of the firm explained to Surdak with a smile on his face.

Suldak nodded, pulled his horse and left the mountain city trading firm.

There were several other trading houses on this street, and Suldak was going to go for a walk, and he went to two more trading houses in succession, but neither of these two trading houses did business in magic ore.

The trading firm in front of me called Tricolor Iris is already the fourth trading firm that Suldak has found. Suerdak stood in front of the door and hesitated for a while before walking into this seemingly popular trading firm. This time the store manager heard that Suerdak wanted to sell sulfur ore, and immediately showed great interest.

The store manager invited Suerdak into a reception room, and invited an appraiser to carefully appraise the few pieces of sulfur ore brought by Suerdak. Seeing the appraiser nodded slightly, the shop The manager breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately told Surdak that the Tricolor Iris Trading Company was willing to purchase these sulfur mines at a price of 4 silver and 50 copper coins per pound.

Suerdak felt that the price offered by the trading firm was not bad, so he was going to discuss the transaction method with the store manager.

"Manager Cobham, can you come out for a moment, please deal with something urgent here."

With a very soft voice, a maid stood at the door and said to the manager of the firm.

The manager of the firm was a little displeased at first, but when he turned around and saw the maid, he immediately stood up and said, "Um, I'll be here soon!"

The manager of the firm said to Suldak apologetically, "Sorry! Baron Suldak, excuse me."

Suldak waited in the reception room for a long time before the manager of the firm came in again, but seeing that his forehead was almost twisted together, Suldak had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, after the manager of the firm sat down, his face looked a little embarrassed.

He hesitated for a moment before saying to Suerdak: "Baron Suerdak, I am very sorry, I have to take back the purchase price of sulfur ore I just gave you. Currently, the purchase price of sulfur ore in our business is 3 silver 20 per pound." copper……"

Suerdak didn't know why the purchase price of the sulfur mine changed. It seemed that it was obviously because the manager of the firm got the news after he went out and changed his mind after he came back.However, such a purchase price is not as good as the official price of 3 silver coins per pound given by the Military Supply Department of the City Hall, which is at least a little more stable.

"In that case, I'm afraid I'll have to think about it!" Suldak said after thinking about it.

He felt that the sulfur ore would not continue to decline. The purchase price of sulfur ore in Hailansa City was not ideal. It can only be said that the business and military supplies are controlling the price.

"Then please..."

The manager of the firm stood up hastily, as if Suldak had a plague on him, preventing him from approaching.

When leaving, Suerdak glanced at the sign of the tricolor iris again, and led Gu Bolai to leave.

The failure to reach a transaction intention for sulfur ore made Suldak a little frustrated. After all, this was the only relatively stable source of income for him after he owned the territory. If they cannot be sold, the backlog in their hands is just a pile of useless yellow stones.

I made an appointment to have a drink with Karl in the evening. Although I was not in the mood, I couldn't miss the appointment.

Suldak led the horse to the hotel in the garden square, and the hotel owner Cohen helped Suldak lead the horse into the stable. Suldak only rested in the hotel for a while, and then went to the tavern for an appointment.

The tavern was still the same, and there were basically no drinkers at this time.

Suldak walked a few steps inside, the light in the tavern was a little dim, only a few magic wall lamps were lit on the wall near the bar, filling a quiet atmosphere.

Carl Casement and Mrs. Marianne Christie sat side by side on the high stools in front of the bar, chatting with the charming tavern proprietress.

The three of them held golden cider in their hands, and they didn't know what to say. The proprietress of the tavern and Mrs. Marianna had faint smiles on their faces.

"Baron Suldak, long time no see." Madam Mariana said to Suldak with an intriguing smile on her face.

Suldak quickly stood up straight, raised his hands to his chest and saluted as a knight: "Hello, Mrs. Mariana."

The tavern proprietress poured a glass of golden cider for Suldak.

"There has never been a commoner knight in Hailansa City who can be canonized as a nobleman by His Majesty the Emperor. Baron Suldak, congratulations on becoming a nobleman!" Madam Marianna raised her glass and said to Suldak.

Suldak quickly raised his glass and said to Mrs. Mariana: "This is my honor!"

Karl pressed Suldak on the seat in front of the bar. He knew that Suldak was going to find the purchaser of the sulfur mine in the morning, so he asked him, "How did the discussion go today?"

Suldak sighed and said, "It's not very good, it's even a bit bad. If we can't find a suitable buyer, we may have to send those sulfur mines to the military quarter."

Unexpectedly, Karl was not surprised when he heard it, and complained with Suldak: "Those trading houses have always been like this. They are deliberately lowering prices. They were able to restrain themselves before, but now the White Elephant Firm is closed. I'm afraid they will repeat the same mistakes and join forces to control the market in Hailansa City."

At this time, someone from outside the tavern opened the door and walked in.
