325. Light snow
Thin snowflakes fell in a flickering manner, covering the beautiful city of Highlandsa with a thin veil of veil.
The sky was gray, the street trees on both sides of the street had dropped their last few leaves, and after a whole month of leaving the village of Wall, the first snow finally came to the city of Highland, which meant that the sulfur mines and the reservoir would enter a shutdown phase, especially on the sulfur mine side, the craftsmen of the village would withdraw as soon as possible, and the reservoir side would also enter a semi-stagnant state, that is, the main pouring of the reservoir was temporarily completed, but the grinding of volcanic ash and limestone would not stagnate.
The old village chief plans to continue to hoard volcanic ash throughout the winter, as long as the heavy snow does not close the road, and when the ground thaws next spring, the finishing work of the primary reservoir will be carried out, and then the secondary reservoir will be expanded, according to the design on Surdak's drawings, the reservoir in Vol Village is divided into five tiers of stepped arrangement, and Surdak plans to repair the second tier next spring, preferably before the rainy season, the third tier of the ladder will also be completed, so as to ensure that all the works will be completed during the dry season next autumn.
This is the only way to ensure that during the rainy season next summer, the tidal flats of the bay can be reclaimed and a drainage ditch dug in the center of the bay.
In the recent period, in addition to running around the various classes of the academy, Surdak also had to plunge into the library to learn the history and culture of the Grimm Empire, but Surdak found that the only history books in the library of the Knight Academy were basically about the records after the Fourth All-Race War, and the history books before that, the library of the Knight Academy was almost blank.
It is only in the words of some ranger biographies that I can learn that there was a period of Hex era when goblins ruled the Roland continent before.
As for the so-called angels in the city of clouds and dragons in the kingdom of dragons, they are even more ethereal things, and the legendary dragon knights are only riding some dragons or wurms and flying dragons until now.
Only then did Surdak know that those black-scaled horses that looked incomparably powerful could only be regarded as scum even in front of the low-level dragons, not to mention the wurm clan.
Surdak sat in the library, and in front of him was a biography of a ranger, with an illustration of a dragon king flying through the sky with wings outstretched, and a knight with a spear standing on the dragon's back.
The author of this biography is named Angus. Bradbury, it is said that he is a very famous adventurer in the history of the Grimm Empire, he spent his life traveling all over the Roland Continent and the Eastern Continent, as well as the seven seas, here I have to mention the wife of this great adventurer, originally a female animal trainer of the lizard tribe, and then I don't know what the reason is, he actually fused himself with a Ramas sea beast, which is also Angus. The main reason why Bradbury was able to swim in the Sea of the Seven Realms.
Karl hasn't been in Highland City lately, and is probably busy tracking down Baron Grenfell, keeping an eye on the manor outside the city.
Because the stories recorded in this Ranger Biography are too attractive, especially the stories of those dragon knights, Surdak is even more envious, originally Surdak would soak in the Sword Hall every weekend, but in order to be able to read this Ranger Biography in one go, on this snowy weekend, Surdak honestly soaked in the library all morning.
He never thought of Darcy. In order to catch the probationary knight who destroyed the practice of the wooden man, Christie stayed in the sword hall this weekend. Christie waited all morning, but did not see a knight apprentice who had the ability to leave a mark on the practice wooden man with a wooden sword......
Surdak closed the Ranger Biography, closed his eyes, pinched the sour corners of his eyes with his hand, there were still phantoms of the Wyvern flying in his mind, he sighed softly, thinking that he had been in the Warsaw plane for nearly half a year, but he had never heard of dragon knights in the Bena Legion or anything, if there were, it was estimated that he would have become the object of everyone's talk a long time ago.
Some reluctantly put the book back on the shelf, and Surdak prepared to leave the library, first to settle lunch in the cafeteria, and then go to the sword hall to spend the afternoon.
When he walked out of the library, he saw one of Carl's attendants standing at the door of the library like a penguin with falling snowflakes, and it was not until Surdak came out of the library that he suddenly came to life, ran towards Surdak, and said to Surdak: "Knight Surdak, the master has returned from outside the city and wants to invite you to the tavern for a drink......
"Really? I happen to have something to look for him, too! Surdak's eyes lit up and he said to the attendant.
Saying that, Surdak didn't bother to eat lunch, and hurriedly left the knight's academy with the attendant, got into Carl's magic caravan, and went directly to the tavern next to the square garden, and when he walked into the tavern, he found that Carl was chatting with a group of friends, including Llewellyn, Jonah, and Brooke, and there were some nuts, lemons, fried fish, and a few large glasses of ale on the table, and everyone was chatting lively.
Seeing Surdak walk in, Carl hurriedly raised his hand to greet him, everyone knows that Surdak is Carl's best friend, the two have been in close contact recently, and when they saw Surdak coming over, they took the initiative to greet and convey their goodwill to Surdak.
Surdak also responded quickly and very low-key, and then everyone moved their chairs to make way for Surdak, and everyone huddled together to drink.
All the ale on the table was ordered by Carl's friend Brooke, because he had a crush on a wine girl in the tavern, and he did not like to drink it, but simply to be able to stuff a silver coin into the girl's full chest, and he took the trouble to order it again and again.
Brooke is a swaggering personality, completely unafraid of the ridicule of others, and his eager eyes chase after the redhead in the tavern without hesitation.
For a group of young aristocratic gentlemen, the most lively topic at the wine table was to talk about women, and Karl bumped Surdak with his elbow, smiled mysteriously at him, and then leaned into Surdak's ear and said, "Hey, I've had a wonderful thing happen lately. Just the day before yesterday, I met a beautiful lady whom I was going to let you meet, and she was surrounded by friends who were some dancers, maybe you like that kind of ......"
Surdak looked at Karl speechlessly, thinking that his hobby was really a bit strange.
Surdak immediately changed the subject and asked Karl, "Why don't you tell me about you, what did you gain this week?" ”
