Chapter 501 500. News
When Surdak led the convoy out of Wall Village, a white line just lit up on the edge of the horizon in the deserted Gobi Desert.
Until the Pagolos Pass was passed, the red sun appeared on the edge of the earth and the sky.
Standing at the highest point of the mountain pass, you can still see a group of people under the dead trees at the entrance of the village from a distance, old Sheila, Natasha, Rita, little Peter and Aphrodite.
That's right, this time the succubus Aphrodite stayed in Wall Village. Although she betrayed the evil king Amozdan and had her wings cut off by her tribe, she is still a succubus after all. Discovering her true identity might bring some unnecessary troubles to Suldak, so Aphrodite offered to stay in Wall Village.
Suldak and his party took six carriages full of sulfur mines, crossed Oak Ridge, and finally arrived at Hailansa City before the city gate was closed.
However, Suldak was not in a hurry to enter Hailansa with six carriages this time. The hotel outside Hailansa had a larger courtyard.
The buildings in Hailansa City are extremely compact. If you want to find a hotel that can park six carriages at the same time, there are not many places to choose from, and the cost of accommodation in the city is much higher than that of hotels outside the city. Mogulitem's entry into the city will also cause panic among the residents in the city, so Suldak decided to let the ogre and the six carriages stay outside the city.
Early the next morning, Suldak rushed to the White Elephant Company with six four-wheeled carriages, sold all the sulfur ore to the White Elephant Company, and paid the coachmen a commission before taking Andrew, Samira and Gulitum came to the Hailansa Guard Camp to report.
A group of four walked on the street, and the residents of Hailansa City cast surprised glances at the ogre.
During the recent period, the ogre Gullitum has long been used to this kind of surprised and fearful eyes. He can only pretend that he didn't see the crowd around him. In the morning, Suldak bought a pair from the White Elephant Firm This is a good dried salted fish. This is a nearly 30-pound mackerel. The whole dried fish exudes a salty smell, which makes the ogre Gulitham feel very good. He will eat this fish along the way. The dried fish is in his hand.
Samira, the half-elf archer, still covered her face tightly with the hood. She was wearing salamander leather armor and carrying a forest bow. Many people envied the exquisite leather armor she wore, but no one noticed that there was something hidden under the hood. A beautiful face.
Andrew, who was wearing the full armor of the Hailansa Guard Battalion, looked more like a guard battalion knight than Suldak. He rode a horse on the street, and the pedestrians on the street took the initiative to dodge to both sides, giving Andrew a An unprecedented sense of superiority.
A group of four people walked through the streets of Hailansa City and walked into the courtyard of the guard camp. Some guard knights greeted Suldak on their own initiative.
Suldak asked casually, and only then did he know that Viscount Emmett led the guard battalion knights who set off on the maca plane to return to Hailansa in a magic airship three days ago. Suldak led the horse to the stable. side, and then took Andrew, Samira, and Gulitham into the main building of the guard camp.
Walked into the rest area of the support squadron, greeted the knight on duty of the support squadron, and learned that the squadron leader Karl was there today, so he pushed the door and walked into Karl's office, just in time to see Karl sitting on the chair behind the desk , with his riding boots raised high on the table, he was talking and laughing with a staff member.
The door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and the female staff who was chatting hastily put away her frivolous smile, tidied her uniform and skirt in a panic, and then slipped out of the door with a stack of documents in her arms.
Walking into Carl's office, the two embraced.
Karl said to Suldak:
"I'm counting the days, and it's time for you to reach Hailansa City. Is the journey going smoothly?"
Suldak nodded.
"Let's go, let's go to Captain Sauron to say hello, and by the way, go through the entry procedures for your security team members." Karl said lazily, holding his good brother's shoulder.
…
"Captain Sauron, this time I brought it back from the Maca plane..." Karl sat opposite Captain Sauron and pushed the three application forms over.
The resumes of Samira and Andrew were written on the application form. Captain Sauron rubbed his forehead, waved his hand to Karl and said:
"Andrew, Samira, and Gullitum, the names of these people make my ears tingle. I heard that there is another ogre of the alien race. If it is any brigade in Hailansa City, I will None of them will agree to their entry applications, but if they want to let them maintain law and order in the barren land, the entry requirements can be relaxed appropriately."
He glanced at Suldak who was standing behind Karl, and said to him:
"Since both Carl and Emmett strongly recommend it, I can do special things here, but... this is not an example!"
The establishment of the Security Team in the Badlands outside Paglos Pass was a long-awaited matter, and the entry of Andrew and Samira has already been recommended by the captain of the support squadron, Karl, and approved by Viscount Emmett. The three of them did not meet the entry requirements of the guard battalion, but Captain Sauron just glanced at the application form and signed his name on it.
After more than two months of recuperation, Captain Sauron's injuries have basically healed. The only regret is that he completely missed the plane war on the Maca plane. On the contrary, Viscount Emmet took advantage of it and wrote a very strong stroke in his personal resume and merit book.
Carl is the squadron leader who was single-handedly promoted by Captain Sauron, so he has a very close relationship with Captain Sauron.
Captain Sauron leaned back on the chair. He had gained a lot of weight in the past two months of recuperation.
He looked at Suldak again, and said to Suldak with a smile:
"You did a good job this time, Knight Suldak. This time, the Hailansa Guard Battalion was commended by Marquis Luthor. All the knights who went to the Maca plane will take half a month's leave later, and there will be corresponding Rewards, and your rewards are a bit special, you have to wait patiently before the new notice is issued, it is likely to be delayed, but there are also advantages to being late."
Leaving Captain Sauron's office, the next thing is much simpler. First, find Ms. Flora from the personnel department of the guard battalion to go through formal entry procedures. Only with the signature of Ms. receive a fixed salary.
Then, under the leadership of Karl, they went to the underground warehouse of the guard camp, and received the standard equipment issued by the guard camp from Gwendolyn, and Samira received a brand new alloy bow from the armory.
Suldak and Karl made an appointment to meet at the Three Bears Barbecue Restaurant at night, and they left the guard camp with Samira, Andrew, and Gulitham, and went directly to the Knight Academy in Hailansa City.
This Maca plane war caused him to miss the final winter exam of the Knight Academy, but since he has become a first-class knight, it is impossible for the Knight Academy to hold his graduation certificate from the Knight Academy.
When he arrived at the Knight Academy, Suldak asked Samira, Andrew, and Gulitum to wait for him at the open-air restaurant facing the street opposite the academy gate, and ordered the three of them some Hailansa special pine nut cakes and some other refreshments. Into the knight academy.
He did not go directly to the teaching office of the Knight Academy to apply for graduation, but found Pablo's assistant.
Seeing Suldak standing in front of him wearing a magic-weave outfit, the assistant coach Pablo was surprised, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and asked enviously: "Knight Suldak, I heard that you Are you going to participate in the Maca plane war with the guard battalion?"
"yes!"
Assistant Pablo hurriedly pulled Sulda out of the office, and said excitedly: "This Maca plane war has been won, well done! Bena Province...needs such a big victory to improve the morale of the army."
He looked at Suldak seriously, and said, "I haven't seen you for two months, and you are already a Constructed Knight! Back to the Knight Academy this time, counting it... you have been in the Academy for six months, and you are here to apply Did you graduate?"
Suldak replied directly: "That's right."
Assistant Pablo nodded and said: "The day before yesterday, the dean just ordered that if you come to the Knight Academy to complete the graduation procedures, I would like to see you."
Surdak didn't expect that the dean wanted to see him, so he asked the teaching assistant Pablo: "The dean wants to see me, do you know what's the matter?"
Assistant Pablo shook his head vigorously, and said to Suldak in a low voice: "Since the dean came out in person, it should be a good thing!"
…
In the dean's office, Assistant Professor Pablo stood on the soft velvet carpet with a smile on his face.
In addition to the teaching assistant Papulo, there is also instructor Mirono in the office. Although Instructor Mirono is Suldak's guide, Suldak rarely sees him even when he is in the cultural class at the Knight Academy, so the two are not familiar with each other, so the two just looked at each other At a glance, he averted his gaze.
The dean stood up, walked in front of Suldak, looked at him with a smile and said: "Only war is the best yardstick to test whether a knight is qualified. Performance, Knight Suldak, congratulations on graduating from the Knight Academy with honors!"
After finishing speaking, the female assistant beside him handed a roll of parchment to Suldak.
Suldak reached out to take it, and said respectfully:
"Thank you, Dean."
The dean laughed and his eyes were almost squeezed together. He combed his slightly thinning hair with his hands, and said with a big belly: "Although you have only studied in the Knight Academy for six months, you are considered a graduate from the sea after all. Lansa Knight Academy is a knight who has gone out, so I want to frame your sketch portrait and hang it in the Academy's Hall of Fame, would you like to?"
"It's my honor!" Suldak didn't expect the dean to meet him for this matter, so he quickly replied that there would be no loss anyway.
The dean heard that Suldak readily agreed, and then sat back on the armchair and said, "Well, I'm rushing to attend a meeting here, and I'll let Pablo help you with the rest..."
…
Suldak led Gu Bolaima back to the dormitory to pack up some salutes. He heard cheerful footsteps in the corridor, and soon there was a discussion from the next door. Suldak recognized that it was Linna and Nedra. With a voice, he put his belongings into the magic pocket, looked at an empty room, and locked the door casually.
The key to this dormitory has to be returned to the dormitory administrator downstairs, but before that, he still needs to say goodbye to these two neighbors who get along very well.
He walked to the door of the next bedroom and knocked on the open door. Linna and Nedra in the room were discussing around a book. Seeing Suldak suddenly appearing outside the door, the two girls looked I was overjoyed, and I was so excited that I yelled a little.
Suldak chatted with the two girls for a while, and then explained the purpose of coming. He said goodbye to the two girls.
Lina never expected that Suldak would get the graduation certificate from the Knight Academy so quickly, she opened her mouth slightly, and said in surprise: "Ah, Knight Suldak, you are going to get the certificate so soon. Have you graduated?"
Suldak nodded, shook the key in his hand, and said to the two girls: "I have packed the room, and I will hand over the key later!"
Nedra next to him suddenly became melancholy, and said in a low voice: "I really don't want you to go, you haven't taught us the skinning technique yet..."
Suldak said to the shy girl: "Nedra has done a great job. You have learned the theoretical knowledge very well. What you lack is practical experience. You can only keep trying during the experience. Only with practice and practice can one become a qualified skinner.”
The three of them huddled together on the narrow terrace at the end of the corridor, looking at the eastern part of the Knight Academy, Suldak asked the two girls: "By the way, what are your plans for the future? I mean after graduation..."
"I plan to join an adventure group after graduation, and travel around outside while I am young." Linna said straightforwardly.
It seems that I should have thought about it a long time ago.
"I will probably get married! I guess I have to follow the arrangement at home." Nedra whispered, "Knight Suldak, how about you?"
Suldak looked in the direction of Wall Village and said: "If there is no big accident, I will serve as the sheriff in the barren land outside the Pagros Pass. If you go to the barren land, you can Come find me anytime!"
Linna didn't expect Suldak to become the sheriff of the barren land, and said:
"Ah, are you really going to such a remote place?"
Suldak nodded slightly and said:
"Actually, my home is over there."
After saying a few words of farewell wishes to the two girls, Suldak waved his hand, turned around and walked along the corridor of the dormitory building towards the stairs.
Just as Suldak was about to go down the stairs, Linna caught up a few steps and shouted to Suldak:
"Oh, by the way, Knight Suldak, I almost forgot to tell you that during the period when you were out to perform the mission of the guard camp, two young female swordsmen always came to the academy to look for you. They don't seem to be from Hailansa .”
Suldak was slightly taken aback, stopped and turned around and asked, "Linna, do you know their names?"
Linna and Nedra looked at each other, then shook their heads at the same time.
Nedra added another sentence: "Instructor Darcy Christie seems to know them..."
Suldak nodded, turned and walked down the stairs without asking any more questions.
