Lord of Hyranza

The surface of the Dodan River had been completely frozen into ice, which made him think of the Janna mermaid named Siya. In such a cold weather, even if she hid in a wooden house, she might not have a good life.

Suldak stood in front of the gate of the Temple of the Two Goddesses on the north bank of the Dodan River. Today happened to be the prayer day for the residents of the town. Many residents came to the temple to pray to the goddess. a busy day.

The bell for the end of prayer rang in the temple. A group of townspeople came out of the temple side by side in thick overcoats. Everyone was wearing thick clothes, chatting while walking, making crunching noises as they stepped on the snow on the ground. .

Suldak didn't wear the salamander leather armor. He casually put on a woolen cloak and walked leisurely through the snow to the backyard of the temple, just like an ordinary traveler, so that the townspeople didn't notice it. The man standing in the snow in the courtyard is the mayor.

……

When it was completely dark, the residential areas of the town were lit up one after another, and the street lamps were also turned on one by one by the night watchmen.

Selena walked out of the temple slowly with Signa and Nika. They locked the gate of the temple, turned around and walked along the small building by the river to the wooden house by the river.

Only then did Suldak go up to meet them, appearing in front of the three of them.

Seeing the hoarfrost on the beard around Suldak's mouth, Selina looked at Suldak in surprise and asked him:

"How long have you been waiting here? It's such a cold day, why don't you come in?"

Her voice was soft and sweet, which warmed Suldak's heart.

Walking closer, he held Selena and Signa in his arms.

Signa broke free from Suldak's embrace, looked up at Suldak's majestic side face, and said with some doubts: "Dak, it seems that you have become a little different from before. It's..."

Signa's voice is still like that of a kitten.

"What's different?" Suldak asked, leaning over for Signa.

"I don't know!" Signa shook her head with some hesitation and said.

The four of them walked side by side along the path by the river. Selina leaned against Suldak, raised her chin slightly and looked at him and asked, "I heard that this northern expedition is not going well?"

"It's okay." Suldak said with a slight smile.

"Back this time, the Northern Expedition is over?" Selina asked with concern.

"It's over!" Suldak exhaled, looking at the river covered with thick snow, and said.

Signa cheered, "Ha, that's really great..."

Three magic caravans were parked at the gate of the cabin by the river.

Suldak and his group came over.

Mrs. Luna, Batra tax collector, and Aung San pushed their respective carriages away, quickly got out of the carriages, and faced Suldak, their eyes full of eager desire to talk.

Surdak looked around, then looked at the wooden house without any fireworks, hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Everyone hasn't eaten dinner yet! Let's go, find a warmer place to eat something together, and by the way, listen to what you have gained during the recent period, and what difficulties you can't solve."

Mrs. Luna and Bartra tax officer hurriedly asked Suldak and Selena to board the magic caravan.

Aung San smiled, and without arguing about this, he quickly walked back to his magic caravan and let the magic caravan follow behind.

Batra tax officer sat in the magic caravan and suggested to Suldak: "Then go to the newly opened barbecue restaurant in the town. The chef of that restaurant is from Bena City, and his cooking skills are very good."

Suldak nodded, and asked Batra tax officer: "Is there any financial problem in the town?"

"It's the end of the year, and some documents need your seal to enter the file..." Batra tax officer said

"With such a Warrior Academy, is the financial pressure on the town?" Suldak asked again.

Batra Tax Inspector leaned forward and said to Suldak: "Junior Warrior Academy paid one-third of the construction fee, and the quarry basically pays monthly, so the pressure is not too great. "

This newly opened barbecue restaurant in the town is not far from the wooden house on the Surdak River. It is built on the west side of the Central Commercial Street in Daonan. It is a one-story wooden building facing the street. The glass windows at the door are very clean. Through the glass window, you can see that the chefs are sending skewers of roast meat into the huge oven, and there is a delicate aroma of oil floating outside.

The open design structure of this kitchen allows customers to see the situation inside the store at a glance.

There are many customers eating in this restaurant at night, and there are even more than a dozen customers waiting in line at the door.

Batra tax collector got out of the carriage first, and then asked Suldak, Selina, and Mrs. Luna to get off. The waiter at the door seemed to know Batra tax collector.He hurried to the lobby to invite the restaurant manager out.

The well-dressed restaurant manager respectfully invited everyone to a well-decorated box inside.

This action inevitably caused the guests waiting in line to protest, but a waiter immediately stepped forward to appease.

It was only when the hall manager introduced the special dishes of the restaurant to Suldak that Suldak knew the so-called specialties here, that is, to use silver oak nuts as charcoal to roast the gray rock iguana, a specialty of Bena province...

Everyone didn't have much interest in iguanas, so they just ordered some food such as smoked fish and leg of lamb.

While waiting for the appetizer, Suldak asked the three of them:

"Now, what do you want to tell me?"

Mrs. Luna coughed lightly, and then reported to Suldak: "President Buckley wants to apply for fifty hunting certificates from the Mercenary Union at the Chain Bridge Hunting Ground..."

Suldak snorted and said noncommittally:

"Tell him to come and see me at the Town Hall tomorrow morning."

Hearing what Suldak said, Mrs. Luna knew that this matter was probably useless, and she couldn't help complaining slightly to the president of the mercenary union.

At this time, the Batra tax officer hurried over and whispered: "Epson, the owner of the tailor shop, heard that the miners in the mine want to order uniform clothing, but the styles of the clothes they sent did not pass. I would like to ask you for information..."

Suldak seldom asks about such trivial matters recently, and the manager of the copper mine can basically decide these trivial matters...

Suldak said: "What's the point of asking, Aung San, what kind of clothes would you wear if you were a jungle hunter?"

Aung San was at the dining table, using a silver knife to deal with a piece of fried meat. At this moment, he quickly raised his head and said without hesitation: "Of course it is leather armor, and some jungle camouflage is also needed."

Suldak asked again: "Batra, you are a tax officer. What kind of clothes do you usually wear?"

"Just wearing a suit, the chest pocket can hold a charcoal pencil, and you can also put the account book in the pocket..." Batra tax officer replied.

Only then did Suldak explain to the Bartra tax officer:

"What the miners in the mine need is a kind of work clothes made of tough and relatively cheap linen cloth. That kind of pullover skirt made from linen bags, without sleeves or trouser legs, and anti-smashing leather shoes, by the way, please invite the owner of the shoe shop to my town hall tomorrow."

Batra tax officer nodded quickly and said, "Understood, I'll bring him over in the morning!"

In addition to the tailor shop owner Tobatra, the tax officer asked Suldak about the details of the miner's uniform, and several businessmen entrusted the Batra tax officer to ask Suldak how to deal with the monster materials...

Suldak thought for a while before saying: "These monster materials and frozen meat will be transported to Bena City. There is a leather goods firm in Bena City that can handle these hard armors, and the frozen meat will be sent there for free trade. The market, but the amount of supplies brought back this time is huge, and it is not impossible to do business with me. Businessmen who can produce ten recent tax payment receipts can come to the town hall to find me..."

Mrs. Luna and Bartra the tax collector got the answer they wanted from Suldak, and shut up and stopped talking.

Aung San began to report to Suldak the progress of the Junior Warrior Academy project, as well as the housing renovation of the imperial immigrant residential area and the construction of the residential area on the south bank of the Dodan River.

In the past year, Aung San has transformed from an ordinary hunter to a small town builder. Not only has he created countless wealth for the aborigines, but his life has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

All this probably happened after he served as a guide to Suldak.

Not only the town of Dodan, but also the Aung San labor group in the copper mine and the canyon camp.

"Viscount Suldak, do you want to build a long wall on the cliff on the south side of the mountain stream?" Aung San looked up at Suldak, and said to him respectfully: "This is a big project. If you have such a plan, I will take people to cut wood in winter, and start building it next spring..."

Suldak put down the table knife in his hand, took a sip of the rum, and said: "There is no need for a defensive fence now, and you have a general understanding of the terrain over there. In fact, I have also had some considerations these days, that is, It is planned to build a hunting ground in the area north of the Chain Bridge Camp and south of the Poison Swamp..."

Aung San did not expect that Suldak would adopt such a radical plan, and he immediately thought that this northern expedition seemed to be a complete victory.

Thinking that the cavalry battalion under Suldak did have the ability to fight against the ghost-striped red ants, he said: "The hunting ground, this idea is really good, then I will build some wooden houses in the chain bridge camp..."

But Suldak shook his head and said, "The next point of your task is to lead the labor group to the tribes."

He touched the clothes on his body, tapped the plates on the dining table with his fingers, looked up at the room in the restaurant, and said to Aung San: "We will gradually change the living conditions of the indigenous tribes. The initial stage is nothing more than It is to change their basic necessities of life.”

"In the future, we will let the children of the tribe enter the Warrior Academy. Since I am a subject in my territory, I have the responsibility to improve their lives."

Signa and Nika sat at the dining table a little cautiously, looking at Suldak with admiration.

The candlelight reflected on their flushed faces, making their eyes shine brightly...

It wasn't until the dinner was over that Suldak and Selena took Nika and Signa back to the riverside cabin in a carriage that Selena asked Suldak in a low voice: "Then can I ask the natives The tribe passed on the teachings of the Dark Goddess?"

"certainly……"

Seeing the trace of gold in Selena's eyes, Suldak immediately replied without thinking.

……

Samira received a letter from the city of Wojmara on the Maca plane, which was sent to Samira by the old nun in the asylum.

The general meaning is that they have received a large sum of money, so they plan to renovate the house of the asylum and take in more children. This money will allow the asylum to last for a long time, so there is no need for Samira to continue sending money .

The main thing in the letter is only this one thing, and the rest are all kinds of blessings from the children. Some wrote blessing words and their own names on the letter paper, some drew some patterns, and there were some small gifts mixed in the envelope. Dolls with cloth heads, grasshoppers woven with grass leaves...

Samira sat in front of the bed in the attic of the garrison camp, her eyes softened by the moonlight...

Chapter 936 The Magic of Sia

In the lower room of the riverside wooden house, the walls of the room extending into the river water have been completely frozen by the river water, and there is a very thick layer of ice there.

But the room is not too cold, but Sia can't swim in the Dodan River, and she is a Jana Sea Tribe who can't live without water. Recently, she has been lying in a large bathtub that is not too spacious. Not even a wiggle of the tail fin.

She only needs to flick her tail fin, and half a bathtub of water will fly out...

The room wasn't too cold, but it was a bit damp, and a thick layer of hoarfrost formed on the surrounding walls.

The mermaid Miss Sia was lying in the bathtub. There was a metal rune plate under the bathtub, and a very stable flame was burning on the bottom of the bathtub, maintaining the temperature of the water in the bathtub.

The water temperature was a bit cold, and when she stretched her arms, she always stretched her arms out of the tub.

It felt very cold to expose her wet arms, and now she basically wouldn't float out of the bathtub unless she was eating.

It has been more than two months since I came to Duodan Town in a blink of an eye, and Xi Ya has adapted to the life here a little bit, and is familiar with her temporary shelter.

Since she escaped from Wilkes City, the original magic seal "Forbidden Magic" on her body has been invalidated, and she regained her magic power half a month ago.

Although she regained her magical power, she failed to derive any happiness from this power.

The reason is that both Signa and Nika are very disdainful of her magical power, and even when the three of them are together, they don't talk much about these things.

Miss Mermaid really wanted to let her friends know about her magical power, but after communicating, Xi Ya found that the two girls didn't seem to have so much admiration for magic.

She knew very early on that Nika had mastered the power of the light element, but obviously Nika could only be regarded as a beginner.

She also hoped that Nika would ask her about magic with great anticipation, but it was a pity that Nika never spoke.

Recently, by chance, I found out that Signa was born with a dark physique. According to this statement, once Signa successfully reaches the peak of rank one nineteen, she will be promoted to a rank two powerhouse without any shackles.

Xiya understands this natural elemental physique, just like someone from the Jana Sea tribe was born with a water elemental body.

However, this special physique, even in the Jana Sea Clan, is unique in existence, and will be absorbed by the Sea God Temple as a priest of the Sea God Temple at birth.

She was a little curious, how many people with such talents like Nika and Signa in the human world.

After having such an idea, she was going to try to live in the human world for a period of time. Her magic power recovered, and she could recite the spell that she occasionally recited on the reef, turning her tail fin into legs.

Tonight, she sat on the edge of the bathtub, wiped off the water stains on her body with a towel, and then began to sing the spell like a ballad. Her body was surrounded by magic lines, and the three-colored fish tail slowly turned into two A long leg.

She suddenly felt uncomfortable with these two ivory-like fleshy columns. She clutched her round buttocks and jumped from the edge of the bathtub to the floor with some restraint. Her swimming in the sea is completely two concepts.

In the sea, she needs to use her whole body to swim fast.

But here, you can run fast with just two legs... That kind of wonderful feeling is simply indescribable.

Thinking that Signa and Nika both had shoes, she found that there were no shoes in the wooden house, but it didn't bother him at all. She wrapped her delicate and soft feet with a piece of linen, which was actually very interesting. beauty.

She wanted to surprise Black Signa and Nika after dawn, and then borrow a beautiful skirt and boots from them.

She was considering whether to sell a pearl for some living expenses, and this pearl was one of the few possessions in her possession.

Every night seems to be hard to endure. In the past, lying in the bathtub and sleeping deeply did not feel that the time passed slowly, but tonight she has two long legs, and this night is really a bit long.

She was in the room on the lower level of the platform, wrapped around a cashmere blanket and obediently waiting for dawn...

Viscount Suldak seemed to be back last night. The ceiling was making 'squeaky' sounds all night. Ms. Selena was crying faintly in the upstairs room, and Ms. Siya planned to tell this matter secretly. Tell Signa, at least don't let those two silly girls worship this bad guy so blindly.

……

After dawn, Nika checked the situation of Xiya every morning as usual.

But this time when she opened the door and walked in, she was really taken aback by Miss Mermaid.

Pushing the door open and entering the room, Nika saw Sia standing upright at the door with a smug look on her face...

"You...you can stand up?" Nika lowered her exclamation and called to Sia.

"Yeah, my mana has recovered!" When Xi Ya spoke, the smile on her face seemed a bit annoying.

Nika didn't want to get to know Sia as well, so she decided to leave a breakfast after seeing that she was in normal condition, and then left.

"Nica, wait a minute..." Siya called out to Nika, and then said with some embarrassment: "Do you know where to sell this bead? I'm going to exchange some money."

"Do you want to exchange this bead for money? You don't need it at all!" Nika stared at the round pearl and said loudly: "Magicians can easily make money, aren't you also a spellcaster of the Jana Sea Clan? ?”
