Chapter 212 211. Hailansa City
Hylansa City is located in the Sitarapakan area of Bena Province. It is a very beautiful mountain city.
The city of Hailansa is surrounded by the mountains at the southern foot of Paglos Mountain. It is rich in golden acorns and silver acorns. This kind of acorns does not really contain gold or silver, but describes the acorns when they are ripe. After the color of the shell, these two acorns contain a lot of oil, which is a very valuable fuel when dried.
Aristocrats like to throw a handful of acorns in the fireplace. These acorns have a unique fragrance when burned. Fish, hares, and pheasants smoked and roasted with acorns will have a unique taste. Every autumn, Hailansa City There will be a large number of merchants gathered here, and everyone will buy gold and silver acorns here, and they will ship these acorns to all parts of the empire. As the acorns open up the market in the imperial capital, more and more nobles will try to buy them. Prices are constantly increasing...
Hailansa, a little-known mountain city, began to gradually come into the eyes of the nobles of the Green Empire.
Suldak rode his horse and saw the beautiful mountain city built on the mountainside from a long distance.
The mountain city is surrounded by green hills, at the foot of the mountain there is a clear creek winding, and a winding mountain road leads directly to the only gate of the mountain city.
The mountain in front is called Camel Mountain by the locals. From a distance, the mountain looks like a dromedary lying on the ground. There is a huge rock on a mound at the foot of the mountain, which looks like the head of a camel. It's no different, Hailansa city is being built on the hump, and stacks of white houses are distributed in the mountain city in a ladder shape, and it looks very neatly arranged row by row from a distance.
When we arrived at the mountain city, it was almost 10 o'clock in the evening. Suldak rode his horse into this small mountain city. The guards at the city gate didn't even check Suldak's identity. He was wearing leather armor and a badge on his chest, so he went all the way unimpeded.
The layout of this mountain city is very limited. All the buildings are crowded together. Most of the buildings in the city are built against the mountain. They look like building blocks stacked together. Narrow overpass, the only main street here is also a gentle slope, along the street, it feels like climbing a mountain. The guards standing at the top of the city were only spear infantry and archers. When they looked at Suldak, there was envy and awe in their eyes.
When the passers-by on the street saw Suldak, they all avoided, for fear of offending Suldak.
Suddenly, I heard someone on the stone arch bridge above my head say, "Mr. Knight, where are you from?"
Suldak raised his head, just in time to see a young man dressed as a ranger looking at him with a smile.
"Handanaer County." Suldak said to the young man on the bridge with a local accent.
The young man leaned on the railing of the stone arch bridge with one hand, turned over and jumped off. His body was very light, and he landed firmly in front of Suldak.
The young man had a badge on his chest, and he looked like a nobleman, so Suldak got off his horse obediently, otherwise, although it would not be a serious crime to offend a nobleman, he didn't want to just find him like this when he just arrived in Hailansa City. Trouble.
The young man has chestnut curly hair, a high nose bridge, and deep-set eye sockets. He looks very sunny when he smiles, but he is a bit thin.
"What do you want to do when you come to Hailansa? Is there anything I can do for you?" The young nobleman spoke politely. He pinched his waist with one hand and put the other hand on the dagger at his waist. In front of Suldak, he was actually only a finger shorter than Suldak.
Suldak thought about his purpose of entering the city. Apart from finding out where some Wall villages are, the most important thing is to register his status as a reserve knight. So he casually asked:
"Excuse me, where is the Highlander Knights?"
The young nobleman looked at the badge on Suldak's chest, and with an inexplicable smile in his eyes, he pointed to the road ahead and said:
"Go forward from here, after passing three streets, turn left, go straight to the end, turn right again, go through a circular arch, go around the small garden over there, and it is on the third street in the alley behind the garden. Home... Forget it, I'll take you there."
In the end, the young nobleman felt almost dizzy, so he decided to lead the way himself.
The young noble did not inquire about any information about Suldak.
The layout of this mountain city is very compact. The two of them walked through a circular arch, and there was a circular garden surrounded by red bricks in front of them. After walking around the circular corridor in the garden, they found the small stone paved lane.
At the door of a low building in the alley, there was a plaque of "City Defense Department". The young noble pointed to the inside, then pointed to the stairs outside the low building, and said casually, "Second floor!"
…
Suldak tied the horse to the hitching post at the door, and the young nobleman had no intention of going upstairs, so he climbed the oak stairs alone.
When he came to the second floor, Suerdak knocked on the door, then pushed the door and walked in. He saw that it turned out to be a small room filled with various filing cabinets. An old man in half armor The knight was sitting on a chair with his feet resting on the oak tabletop, with a pipe in his mouth, and was sleeping with his eyes closed.
Suldak walked in and didn't take the initiative to wake him up. He stood in front of him, took out his reserve knight certificate, and placed it on the oak table.
After finishing these, Suldak sat on the bench on the side of the room and waited patiently.
After a while, the old knight snorted suddenly, waking himself up from the dream, and then opened his eyes to look around, and found himself sitting in the small room, and saw the whole body behind him. The filing cabinets were neatly arranged. Only then did I wake up. I just had a nightmare just now, and I didn't fight **** battles on the battlefield.
Then he saw Suldak waiting in the room, quickly put his feet off the table, coughed, then picked up the reserve knight certificate on the table, carefully checked it for a long time, and then lifted the Starting from the beginning, he looked at Suldak again from top to bottom, stared at Suldak and asked:
"Your name is Suldak?"
Suldak nodded, and said 'yes' honestly.
The old knight glanced at the name on the knight certificate, stood up with some difficulty, limped to a filing cabinet, and kept saying:
"Let me see, enlisted in the army in 2583... Oh, here... Are you from Wall Village?"
"Yes." Surdak replied.
The old knight dug out a bundle of roster scrolls, found Suldak's name on it, and asked him the number of the army, and Suldak answered very fluently. The old knight held the reserve knight certificate, full of emotion He said, "Not bad! Young man."
He checked the roster, and then said regretfully:
"I was born as a commoner and never went to a knight academy. When I retired, I actually became a reserve knight. Didn't you consider continuing your military career? Have you already retired?"
Suldak nodded and said frankly: "Retired? I'm a little homesick..."
The old knight nodded slightly, then recorded the information on the reserve knight certificate, and said to Suldak:
"Now you can't be considered a formal knight, and you still need to go to the knight academy for an official graduation certificate. If you are ready, you can come to me at any time. I can help you write a letter of recommendation. Our knight academy in Hailansa City is Very good, of course, you can also choose a different college, but I can’t guarantee whether my recommendation letter is useful or not. As long as you graduate from the Knight College successfully and you come to me with your graduation diploma from the Knight College, you will be able to In exchange for an official knight certificate."
"With an official knight certificate, you can claim a piece of land that belongs to you at the ruling hall of Hailansa City."
After the old knight finished speaking, he waved his hand without waiting for Suldak to ask, indicating that Suldak could leave.
