345. Return
Surdak and Darcy. Christie's dinner was a pot of pheasant stewed with mushrooms, about this delicious dinner, the ingredients were provided by the Agra family, and the cook was Surdak, a pot of fresh soup and a few chestnut cakes baked by Agra's wife. Christie and the Agra family ate cleanly.
Although the Agra family often eats this pheasant, the pine forest outside is full of this kind of red mushroom, and the family often boils mushroom soup, but this is the first time to taste this kind of stew, and Agra's son holds his round belly and whispers to his mother: "It turns out that pheasants and dried mushrooms can make such a delicious soup......
Judging by his age, he probably hasn't participated in the coming-of-age ceremony, but he has a pronounced Adam's apple under his neck, and a thick layer of fuzz on his lips, he looks like he is at least fourteen or fifteen years old, and his face is almost carved out of the same mold as Agra, and he sits quietly next to Agra's wife, looking a little shy, and he occasionally looks at Darcy with envy. Christie's saber, he couldn't hide the curiosity in his heart.
Darcy. After Christie drank some hot soup, her whole person became much more energetic, no longer the sick and sad appearance before, her lips became rosy, and the whole person looked very energetic.
The Agra family regarded the two of them as an elopement couple, and when arranging a place to stay, Agra said: "Knight Surdak, you and Darcy will stay in Jacques's room tonight, Jacques and us will squeeze in for one night, and I will borrow a carriage for you to come back tomorrow morning, and we will set off after dawn, and if the journey is smooth, we will only need to walk for a day and rush back to the city of Highlandza." ”
In fact, there were only two rooms in the cabin, and the room between them was only a narrow single wooden bed, but the conditions here were such that Surdak could only smile and say, "Thank you so much for that!" ”
Darcy. Christie leaned against the fireplace, her face flushed slightly from the warmth of the fire.
Nothing happened during the night, Darcy. Christie lay on the wooden bed of Agra's son, and Surdak made a simple bed in the room with a few planks, and then lay silently in his sleeping bag.
Darcy. But Christie slept a little too much during the day? Can't sleep at night? Especially lying on an unfamiliar bed, she has some recognition of the bed? The planks on this wooden bed are hard? The mattress underneath is not as soft velvet as at home, and the linen quilt is far less comfortable than Surdak's sleeping bag? She lay on the bed and turned over slightly, and the room was dark? But she could still pinpoint where Surdak was lying.
She tossed and turned for a while? In a daze, she heard what seemed to be another dog barking outside the village, and then she dreamed that she was sleeping in a sleeping bag, with her face pressed against Surdak's broad back...... In a golden ray of sunlight, Surdak tied her up strongly? Brutally on the shoulders? took her to an unknown place.
She woke up in the harsh sunlight and found that it was getting dark, and the wooden bed in the room had been put away by Surdak, and the others were not in the room. Outside the house came the sound of him talking to Agra, followed by the neighing of horses? She put a smelly linen quilt over her head in annoyance.
Darcy who rested for a night in a mountain village and drank chicken soup. Christie's fever went away? The whole person is also obviously in good spirits, after eating a bowl of somewhat rough chestnut rice porridge? Agra with the only carriage in the village? Carrying Surdak and Darcy. Christie left the mountain village? Drove along a mountain road with almost no footprints to the city of Highlandza.
Although Surdak never mentioned to express his gratitude to the Agra family, Darcy . Christie, however, knew that he had secretly hidden an old Roman sword, a brand new dagger, and an alloy bow under Agra's son's bed, and that Surdak would probably not be aware of Surdak until Agra returned to the village.
Darcy. Christie sat in the carriage, she also had a thick black cloak around her, this was the winter clothes issued by the knights of the guard battalion, and there was the smell of cloth batik on it, facing the north wind over the three hills one after another, and the outline of the city of Highlandsa slowly emerged in her vision. Christie's heart was a little lost.
……
Surdak stood at the gate of the guard camp in full armor, his dirty face covered with stubble, and he smiled as he watched Karl who led the horse out of the guard barracks, and greeted him familiarly.
Karl could scarcely believe that Surdak could come back alive under such circumstances, because the dark mage of the Dark Magic Retreat had taken Darcy away. Christie, on the contrary, no one noticed that the dark mage's original motive was actually to capture the Surdak knight. Darcy. Christie was snatched away by the dark magicians of the Dark Arts Hermitage at the gate of the Knight Academy, which made the archon of Highlandsa City, Marquis Christie, furious, thinking that this was the Dark Arts Hermitage plotting against Highlandsa City, imagine that if the Dark Arts Retreat really developed the young nobles in Highlandsa City into members of the Hermitage, ten or twenty years later, these young nobles will really rule Highlandsa, then this city will probably be under the control of the Dark Arts Retreat, and it is very scary to think about it.
As a result, the death of the aristocratic boy Vic triggered a strong resistance from the nobles to the Dark Arts Order, and a new round of purges began in the city of Highlandza.
For a long time, the traditional aristocratic forces in the city of Hylanza have no substantial resistance to the Dark Arts Retreat, they only feel that the people in the Dark Arts Retreat are just betrayers of the magic oath in the Magic Union, and they have learned the Dark Arts in order to pursue greater power, except for the madmen who are some paranoia, but the harm to Hylantha City has never been shown.
It has always been the responsibility of the Magic Union Law Enforcement Team to eliminate the members of the Dark Magic Retreat, and there are still some conflicts of interest between the old nobles and the new magicians in Highlandsa City, which is the main reason why the traditional nobles of Highlandsa City never provide this information to the Magic Union Law Enforcement Group.
In the past few days, the city of Hylantha has almost been rummaged over by the knights of the guard battalion and the mages of the Magic Guild Law Enforcement Regiment, but unfortunately they have not been able to find Sameya out of the city.
But Carl has already obtained a noble search warrant, Baron Grenfell has been controlled by the Magic Guild Law Enforcement Team in Highlanza City, Carl has to go out with a group of men so late, in fact, he is going to Grenfell Manor to arrest the bandit group hiding in the manor, this time it belongs to the joint operation of the guard battalion and the law enforcement team, and the Magic Guild will also send a magician team.
Unexpectedly, Surdak would be able to catch up with this search operation, and Karl did not wait for Surdak to explain how he returned to the city of Highlandsa, seeing that he was not injured and could still stand at the gate of the guard camp in full armor, he immediately ordered his men to go down to the stable, take Surdak's Gubolai horse out, and take him directly on the road.
After all, such a thing as clearing the aristocratic manor and arresting the bandit gang may not happen once in a few years.
It doesn't matter if the rest is that there are only a few ways to get meritorious service in the guard barracks, and if you miss it, you really miss it......
