Since Suldak has come to the city of Bena, he has to visit Beatrice's father—Count Gopher.
Beatrice was naturally very happy when she heard about this incident. The two left the Marquis Luther's Mansion in a magic caravan at noon, and walked west along the noble street. Although the Gopher family's manor is relatively luxurious It is a noble manor, but it is still some distance away from the Marquis Luther's mansion.
In the trunk of the magic caravan, Beatrice was leaning against Suldak's arms, smiling and telling Suldak about the changes of her younger brother Harvey in the past two years.
Harvey Goeffeler opened the leather workshop in Bena City. Currently, it mainly processes the hard armor leather of ghost pattern red ants, and the business is very good.
The Goeffler family has come out of the trough, at least able to maintain the dignity of a veteran nobleman. It is said that Harvey is planning to buy back the family territory recently. Unfortunately, those lands have been sold for decades, and the other party is not short of them. Money, no thought of selling at all.
The magic caravan drove into the tree-lined old manor. Surdak found that not only the gate of the manor had been repainted, but even the main road from the gate to the mansion had been re-paved with stone slabs. After the garden has been carefully pruned, Surdak can feel the garden art with a sense of age.
The manor house has also been refurbished. Although it is not a major repair, at least some broken bricks have been repaired, and the brick joints have been outlined with cement to outline even gaps. The red tiles on the roof have been replaced with new ones.
The magic caravan stopped at the entrance of the mansion, and a butler opened the door of the carriage from the outside. A group of young nobles and servants were waiting at the bottom of the steps, and Harvey was just standing in front of the crowd.
Suldak and Beatrice walked out of the carriage and hugged Harvey respectively. Then Harvey introduced the young nobles around him to Suldak, almost all of whom were from the Gopher family. The members, some of Harvey's cousins, were minor nobles, and some were mere knights.
When they saw Suldak, they all showed curious eyes.
Suldak remembered that when he married Beatrice, he didn't know that the Gopher family had so many relatives.
Harvey is obviously fatter, and his belly bulges the dress.
"Welcome back…"
Harvey said to Suldak with a smile, and then began to introduce these relatives behind him to Suldak.
Suldak was dizzy, but no one cared about it.
After walking up the steps, he saw Earl Gopher standing in front of the gate of the house. Suldak hurriedly took two steps, pulled Beatrice to the front of Earl Gopher, and walked towards him. military salute.
A group of young nobles behind him were chatting in low voices, but everyone's eyes fell on Suldak.
"Come in and have a seat." Although Count Gopher didn't have a smile on his face, his voice was very gentle.
Beatrice was not favored by Earl Gopher, who once wanted to marry Beatrice to a wealthy businessman or an aristocratic family with better economic conditions in order to solve the debt crisis of the Gopher family. Unfortunately, at that time, Beatrice cared about Suldak and was unwilling to sacrifice herself for the sake of the family.
In fact, this kind of thing is very common among nobles. Beatrice's rebellion once made Earl Goeffel very angry.
Even now, the relationship between father and daughter is still stiff.
This time when Beatrice came home, Earl Gopher still didn't give Beatrice a good face. Beatrice just pretended not to see it, and walked into the hall on the first floor of the house holding Suldak's arm. , Suldak was by her side, which made Beatrice feel more at ease.
The furniture in the living room remained the same. Earl Gopher asked Suldak to sit beside him, and immediately a row of maids came up with various fruit juice snacks.
Other young nobles also gathered around one after another. Some young nobles even secretly touched the maids' little hands when they passed by, or quietly grabbed their buttocks. They were very frivolous at a young age.
Count Goeffel carefully looked at Suldak for a while, and then said:
"I heard that you led an army to fight in the Warsaw plane?"
Suldak quickly said: "That's right! This time I took advantage of the war on the Warsaw plane entering a period of stalemate, so I obtained permission from the military department to return to Bena City for family leave."
The members of the Goeffele family looked at each other in blank dismay. Many of them had never even heard of this word. It is really rare for a battlefield commander to have a vacation.
At present, there is only one person who dares to do this——Duke Newman.
Harvey sat across from Suldak, and asked curiously:
"Brother-in-law, I heard that you killed many evil spirits in Moyunling?"
Suldak and Beatrice sat side by side on a two-seater leather sofa.
In order to make herself look more dignified, Beatrice kept her waist straight even when she was sitting on the sofa...
Suldak leaned on the sofa cushion, and replied casually: "It is true that some evil spirits have been killed. Does your leather processing factory want to do some black devil leather business? Currently, I have some resources in this regard."
"The black-stripe magic leather involves magic-stripes. My leather workshop doesn't have a magician, so I can't do this kind of delicate work."
Harvey declined without thinking.
Surdak was a little surprised, and said: "You can sell it in a leather business, but the current market stock base of black magic leather is too large, and the price of this thing may be further reduced."
"The business of wearing armor is very good at present."
Harvey smiled, a lot of flesh accumulated on his face, his eyes were almost narrowed into a line, and then he said to Suldak: "If you still have unidentified black magic crystals in your hand, you can sell them to me. ?"
"Unidentified black magic crystal?"
"If you want to inherit your father's title, if you don't participate in the plane war, you must pay at least fifty unidentified magic crystals to the empire to keep the earl's title."
Harvey confessed directly.
"I know that your business in Bena City has been doing well recently, and you should have saved some money in your pocket." After saying this, Suldak glanced at Beatrice, and then said : "This time... Beatrice deliberately told me about your title succession, so I came here this time... I happened to bring you some black magic crystals."
After speaking, under the watchful eyes of a group of young nobles from the Gopher family, Suldak took out a small magic sealing box from his magic pocket.
Suldak reached out and lifted the lid of the box, and there were rows of neatly arranged black magic crystals inside. These black magic crystals were almost bigger than walnuts.
Although there are black magic crystals that are not stamped with the mark of the logistics department of the military department, it means that these black magic crystals have not been formally firmed.
Other young members of the Goeffel family looked at Harvey enviously, probably because they envied him for having a good brother-in-law, who saved his title with just one sentence.
Many people may have seen the Black Magic Crystal for the first time, and they all gathered around.
Harvey quickly hugged this not-so-big magic-sealing box in his arms, just like this black magic crystal, almost all the magic crystals in the box can buy a set of magic-weave construction.
Harvey glanced at Beatrice gratefully. His relationship with Beatrice was very bad. He didn't expect Beatrice to help him...
With such a large amount of money, Harvey Goeffler thought about it, and said to Suldak in a very gracious manner: "Brother-in-law, I will buy these unidentified black magic crystals."
After saying this, Harvey realized that Suldak had pulled out five large boxes from the magic pocket in one go.
They were placed in front of the sofa, occupying a large space. Suldak lifted the lids of these large wooden boxes. The first box contained a stack of salamander leather armor. The patterns on the leather danced back and forth like flames, looking exquisite. Peerless, this kind of high-quality salamander leather appears one by one even in the auction house, and now Suldak actually packed a whole box.
The wooden box on the side contains a whole box of green horns on the head of General Evil Ghost. Each horn is almost two feet long, with a slight curvature. The taper is not too big, but it is extremely sharp. It is an excellent material for making curved swords.
The third box is filled with colorful stones. These are the rough stones of various gemstones. Without preliminary polishing, even if they are very transparent, they will not show any value.
The fourth box contains the bone armor of an evil spirit. It is difficult to make up a complete set of bone armor for this evil spirit.
The set brought by Surdak is not only complete, but also very good in appearance, very suitable for hanging in the corridor.
A lot of hay was stuffed into the fifth box. After Suldak pulled the hay away, a group of young nobles who were watching were surprised to find that there were only three rows of medicine bottle brackets inside. It is precisely these three rows of shelves that are almost filled with magic potion bottles the size of fingers.
Placed in the top row is a whole row of secondary healing potions. Although this thing cannot heal the injury quickly, it is something that can save life. There are a total of twenty potions in the whole row.
However, the second row of potion bottles is not filled with healing potions, but secondary spiritual power potions. There are also twenty bottles.
As for the magic potion on the third row of shelves, it is the light yellow power of the Lion King magic potion.
Recently, it is rare to hear in noble circles that some people give gifts of lesser healing potions.
How much are these gifts worth... Everyone present didn't know, but everyone knew that the fifth box contained magic potions that money couldn't buy.
Even Earl Gopher, who was sitting on the main seat, was a little surprised. He didn't understand why Suldak suddenly brought out so many boxes...
"At the beginning you were willing to marry your daughter to me, but I couldn't offer any decent gifts at that time. Now that I'm coming back from the Warsaw plane to visit relatives, of course I have to bring back some local specialties. I hope you like it." Suldak said The posture is very low.
Marquis Gopher nodded slightly. He knew that Suldak was not what it used to be, but he never thought that Suldak would send such a gift.
"I heard that the battle on the Warsaw plane has come to an end?" Earl Gopher asked.
"Yes, when I return to the Warsaw plane this time, I will launch a general attack on the evil spirit army on the Moyunling Highland," Suldak said firmly.
"We all know that the West Route Army has won several victories in the Warsaw plane. Those Bena officers who came back from Warsaw are often mentioned about you. I know that saying this may cause you some trouble, but no matter what, I still hope you Can select some young people with some potential to go to the Warsaw plane."
After Count Goeffel finished speaking, he looked around properly.
Suldak nodded and promised: "Yes, if they can pass my test, I will take them to the Warsaw plane."
The noble young people around all gave out a series of cheers...
"Duck, what does the evil spirit look like?" Harvey asked curiously. He had just gone through the entire set of evil spirit bone armor.
Suldak smiled:
"You really want to know? Then go to the battlefield with me and see."
Harvey's complexion changed, his brows almost knit together, and he said quickly:
"...Forget it, I live very happily in Bena City, I would rather endure the sour smell of hard armor than go to the Warsaw battlefield."
Suldak leaned on the sofa and said with a smile: "Do you know that many nobles begged me to take them to the battlefield of the Warsaw plane."
Harvey was unmoved at all, and quickly argued: "But those nobles don't include me, I'm still very self-aware."
Suldak nodded with a smile, reached out and patted Harvey on the shoulder, and said to him, "You seem to have really grown up, at least you know how to avoid danger."
Seeing that Suldak did not continue to ask him to go to the Warsaw plane, Harvey said complacently:
"Yeah, I'm going to be a father in a few months. It's not a good time to go out at this time..."
Suldak patted Harvey on the shoulder and said, "Congratulations."
Suldak only drank an afternoon tea in the Gopher Manor, and did not stay for dinner, so he left the Gopher Manor with Beatrice who showed some complaints.
"Why do you prepare so many gifts! There is also that box of black magic crystals. Harvey obviously wants to pay for it, why don't you agree?"
"How much are those gifts worth?"
Beatrice babbled on and on about these things all the way.
Suldak could only wrap his arms around Beatrice's shoulders, and said close to her ear, "You don't need money, so why bother with the value of the gift?"
"God sent you and Hathaway to me, which is the greatest gift to me. For this, I am willing to give some feedback to your loved ones."
Beatrice's eyes were a little moist, but she was still a little angry.
All along, the thing she hates and dislikes the most is that Earl Gopher is going to sell her at a high price like a commodity...
Now Suldak obviously hopes to ease the relationship between her and her family. She should be grateful, but she just feels that there is something blocked in her heart.
She rested her head on Suldak's arms, and said pettishly, "I don't need to please them anymore..."
The magic caravan was driving slowly on the street, and Beatrice's heart seemed to be wrapped in warm sea water. The dazzling sunlight outside the caravan came in through the glass windows, making her a little dizzy...
