336. Failed Fishing Operations
I was thinking positively that I must talk to the two girls next door at night, and I am afraid that I will not have time to teach them peeling techniques recently. The day before yesterday, Surdak also bought two rabbits to prepare for an on-site teaching. After being brought into the dormitory, Lina and Nedra were so loving that they found an iron cage to raise the grey-haired otter rabbit.
Surdak couldn't understand this, why was he unwilling to kill these two rabbits, which were also used for meat, even though he was eating stewed rabbit chicken the night before? The explanation given by Lena and Nedra is that they don't see rabbits killed for no reason that they can't live for, but they hunt rabbits in the wild to survive, and that's fine.
But dead rabbits will become hard in winter, and with Surdak's half-hanging skinning technique, there is no way to peel off the rabbit's skin with all beards and tails, so this matter can only be put on hold.
Surdak walked through the gates of the Knight Academy, and the doorman greeted him familiarly, and Surdak smiled as he walked into the academy and walked down the corridor of the shrub wall on the outside of the playground to the dormitory.
……
Seeing Surdak's figure appear at the Knight Academy, Darcy. Christie thought her eyes were glazed.
She involuntarily chased a few steps out, and made sure that the figure was the same figure who had rescued Hathaway and Beatrice in the hilly steppes of Handanar in Warsaw, and had taught Cole a hard lesson in Handanaar. The knights of Norton and actually appeared in the Knight Academy, could it be said that he also served in the academy?
Subsequently, Darcy. Christie was caught up in the not-so-good memories of Surdak giving a vivid lesson to the talented graduates of the High Swordsman Academy in Handanaar, and at the same time making it clear to them that the fancy sword skills they learned at the academy were more like vaudeville on stage for the veterans who had come down from the battlefield.
When Darcy came to his senses, only to find that the figure had disappeared at the end of the bush wall, Darcy clenched his fists angrily, if it weren't for his appearance, he might have been retained, even if he was an assistant teacher at the Bednar Advanced Sword Academy, it was much better than being an instructor at the Junior Knight Academy of Highlandsa, and the current difficult situation was entirely due to this Surdak.
"Darcy, are you alright?" In the distance, the call of a female companion was heard.
Darcy scratched at her hair with some disgust, even though she hated the aristocratic balls in the city of Highlanza, which were like harvest festivals in the countryside, with no beautiful magic lanterns, no delicious roasted snake lizard meat, no high-end golden cider, and no good single nobles? But she couldn't refuse? If she doesn't marry herself off at the most beautiful time, the only thing that awaits her may be those greasy bald aristocrats with big bellies.
All this is thanks to the knight? Darcy. Christie thought resentfully? Anyway, he can't run away right away, so he will go to the logistics department of the college tomorrow to check the list of faculty and staff.
Then saw a companion standing at the entrance of the academy in a low-cut evening gown? Shivering in the cold wind and not forgetting to wave to her frequently, Darcy. Christie hurriedly lifted the long skirt? He took a few quick steps with his long legs.
The season of early winter? The skirt of this dress is made very thick, and when you run, it is like a sun umbrella that is propped up, and the cold wind pours in from under the skirt......
……
There's a 'bobby-tailed' barbecue restaurant on the central street of Highlandsa City, and the huge plaque on the door is a pouting bear? Is this the biggest barbecue restaurant in the city of Hylanza? Seating nearly 500 people at a time, the restaurant's menu is full of secret grilled meats, and the main dishes and soups are very simple, always just baked wheat cakes and tomato bisque.
Many people come here every day to eat because the barbecue is good and cheap? It's even cheaper than buying meat and making it at home.
So the people of Hailanza gradually have such a habit, if they usually want to eat barbecue? Usually the family goes out to eat together.
Karl chose this restaurant for the evening's dinner, and Surdak stepped out of the carriage? Only to find out that this place is more popular than you expected, and there is a long line in front of the restaurant? Endless flocks to restaurants? The rich smell of meat wafts far from the street? A group of young people were already waiting at the door of the restaurant, and when they saw Carl get out of the carriage, they hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
Except for the four squads that were out on duty, all the thirty-six members of the support squadron were present, and the manager of the barbecue restaurant was personally waiting at the door, and when he saw Carl getting out of the carriage, he approached with a smile on his face, and led the members of the support squadron of the guard battalion into the restaurant through the special passage on the side.
The design of this restaurant is very special, as soon as you enter the restaurant, all guests need to visit the barbecue kitchen, which is almost 20 meters away, and the barbecue stove faces the guests who come to eat, where the guests need to choose the barbecue they want to eat. More than 20 rotisserie chefs stand in front of the stove, each of whom is responsible for roasting a single variety of roasted meat, placing the cut beef on top of the grate, pouring some fruit wine, sprinkling some black pepper and coarse salt, and cooking the beef in almost the same steps and for the same amount of time, and the taste of the roast meat will naturally not differ.
The young men of the support squadron almost all chose double portions of medium-cooked fried ribs with bones, everyone ordered while walking, the table of the people of Highlanza was always indispensable for baked wheat cakes and vegetable soup, taking advantage of the time to order, Carl introduced the six captains of the support squadron to Surdak, these young people of the support squadron gathered into two small groups, and Carl's cronies came to his side to greet Surdak.
There was also a small group of more than a dozen people, and when they looked at Surdak, there was a clear smell of scrutiny in their eyes.
Carl stared at the young man led by the small group and said, "He's Jasper......"
The first time Surdak heard the name Jasper was mentioned by Carl's friend Baron Llewellyn, saying that there was a young nobleman named Jasper in the support squadron who was Carl's rival, and in this squad leader assessment, Carl successfully defeated Jasper and successfully obtained the position of squadron leader of the support squadron.
Led by the restaurant manager, everyone went directly to a large box on the second floor of the restaurant, where a long table was placed, and Carl sat at the head of the long table, chatting with Surdak beside him from time to time.
Surdak also ordered medium-rare fried ribs, cut the bone-in grilled ribs with a knife, and gently poked it to ooze blood, it was still a little too raw, after eating fried meat for so long, he still couldn't enjoy this deliciousness, Surdak was glad that he only ordered a single serving.
Suddenly, he felt that someone was staring at him with strange eyes, and when he looked up, he saw the young nobleman named Jasper raising his glass to him, Surdak hurriedly raised his glass in return, he was wearing a very decent aristocratic costume, and the whole person also looked very energetic, with a smile on his face with a faint ruffian.
Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, Surdak clapped his hands vigorously, and everyone stopped their mouths and turned their heads to look at Karl.
Karl coughed lightly twice before he said, "Speaking of tomorrow's plan, I'm going to ask the Surdak knight to take a walk outside the city tomorrow to see if there is a chance to lure Sameya out." ”
"Head, last time she missed the best time to capture her, can she still stupidly throw herself into the net this time?" The person who spoke was Bob, the leader of the second squad, and it was clear that the rest of the team had the same idea.
Karl said: "Since Samia is hiding in the shadows, I think she must be hiding somewhere to secretly observe us, we are looking for her, she is also looking for Surdak everywhere, we must seize this opportunity, this time the first, second, fifth, and sixth teams will go out of the city with me, Jasper, you stay in the city with the third and fourth teams, and cooperate with Lord Sauron to conduct a city-wide search operation in the city." ”
"Yes!" The young nobleman snapped his fingers lightly, and then said, "If you need reinforcements, send us a signal, and I will find a way to locate the great search near the city gates, and have horses ready to support them as soon as necessary." ”
"Good! It's impossible for Lord Sauron to travel with us this time, so as always, please be safe. ”
"Let's go back and rest early, and the members of the first, second, fifth, and sixth teams will gather outside the city tomorrow morning......"
As Karl's orders were conveyed one by one, the team leaders nodded their heads in understanding.
The dinner ended in a hurry, and when he walked out of the 'Bobby' barbecue restaurant, the young nobleman named Jasper deliberately approached Surdak's side, stretched out a hand and shook Surdak, and said to Surdak with a smile: "If you have time, let's go have a drink together!" ”
Surdak lowered his head and thought for a moment, then refused: "I have to go back tonight to prepare, another day, there will be many opportunities for this kind of drinking in the future." ”
Jasper smiled reservedly and said, "Well, don't make me wait too long, or you won't know what you're missing!" ”
……
The next day, Surdak rode out of the city of Hylanza on his horse, although he knew in advance that Karl and the four support teams were hiding in the shadows, and when they went outside the city, they were nowhere to be found.
The oak leaves of the mountains had fallen, and there were bare branches everywhere, and the woodland was covered with a thick layer of leaves, and some golden oaks were buried under these leaves, and the mountain trails were also full of leaves, and the horses' hooves rustled on them.
The snow had completely melted away from the previous day, and only the remaining snow could be seen on the north slope, and the temperature had not completely dropped, and the first snow could not stand, but the melted snow also formed a layer of frozen soil under the leaves, and when the next heavy snow fell, it did not melt so easily.
Surdak rode the Gubolai horse, on the mountain road leading to the village of Wall until noon, his intuition told him that no one was following him, and he walked a little way ahead, still without the slightest gain, Surdak himself was also thinking about this matter, if the other party was replaced by himself, such an obvious trap, he would probably not be fooled, if he could still rush out stupidly, unless the other party was strong enough, strong enough to swallow these people in one bite, or forced to do so, It's to the point where you can't sleep without killing yourself.
The members of the support group then appeared on the top of the hill in the distance, a flag in his hand, and waved vigorously at Surdak - the return journey.
It's been like this for three days in a row, walking on the mountain road until noon to return the same way, so that you can return to the city of Herlanza before the city gate is closed, there is no harvest in these three days, not even any clues have been found, it seems that the other party is not as stupid as he expected, and the plan of action of the supporting squadron is likely to fall directly into the eyes of the other party.
At the beginning, the young people of the support team were very motivated, but they didn't find even a hair for three consecutive days, and these team members were inevitably a little relaxed.
When they returned to the city of Hylanza in the evening of the third day, the members of the supporting squadron looked a little listless, and anyone who blew cold wind in the mountains for three days in a row and still found nothing, it is estimated that they will not be in a good mood.
After entering the city gate, Karl ordered everyone to disband, and told everyone to rest for two days, and Surdak also stayed at the knight academy to continue the class.
Because Carl was to arrange for the four squads that were monitoring Baron Grenfell's manor to return to the city of Highlandsa and send a new squad to take over.
And Mrs. Christie has also brought back some new information from Grenfell Manor, and Carl wants to know if there is enough evidence to prove that Baron Grenfell has something to do with the Dark Arts Retreat, and once he can prove it, he can apply for a noble search warrant to arrest the gang of robbers lurking in the manor.
……
In the past three days, Jasper and the remaining members of the support team launched a large-scale search operation in the city of Highlandsa with the guard battalion, but it was found that some noble teenagers secretly contacted the evil magicians of the Dark Arts Hermitage, many teenagers were eager to gain power at the same time, secretly learned black magic, after these black magic were learned, they usually couldn't be seen at all, but only left a black magic mark on their bodies, which would only be manifested when they were used.
Obviously, the Dark Magic Retreat has put its hand into the circle of the nobles of Hylanza, and the dark magic spreader has long been hiding after hearing the news, and the guard camp has only found some noble children who have studied dark magic.
At the same time, the magicians in the law enforcement team of the Magic Union in Hylanza City came to the door and asked the guard battalion to hand over these noble children who had learned black magic to the Magic Union, but the guard camp also had its own concerns, after all, this matter involved too many nobles, and if they wanted to suppress this matter quietly, they were afraid that it would not be possible to do it now, but they could not let the magicians directly take these noble teenagers away.
For a long time, there have been many contradictions between the old aristocratic forces of the Green Empire and the new forces of the magician aristocracy, although they have not been intensified, but the old nobles and the magician nobles are not very harmonious, and it is not a secret, once the magicians take these noble teenagers away, it is also a big blow to the old aristocratic forces, so in the past few days, the city has been very lively, and this matter has even caused trouble in the Highlandsa City Council.
