Celia. Cooper believed in Surdak's oath very much, and when he heard him raise his hand and swear, his face immediately softened, and he reopened his magic robe and sat down on the page, and said to Surdak:

"I have some knowledge of space magic, a little divination, can identify a variety of magical herbs, and have a certain study of magic patterns, in addition to the Chinese language of Grimmdi, I am proficient in ancient elven language and some Cana languages. As long as you are willing to sign a magic contract of equality and mutual assistance, to ensure that we will not do anything harmful to each other, I will help you do what I can, and all I need is this magic notebook, this is my home, and every time you turn the magic book, remember to knock on the door first, which is the most basic respect for a lady. ”

Surdak couldn't figure out Celia. Why is Cooper so easy to speak, as a dark magician, shouldn't his personality be a little paranoid?

"Well, I promise you." Surdak readily agreed, and although he remained on his guard, he didn't see any other intentions against him, at least until now.

Celia. Cooper said, "Of course, of course I will keep our magical contract. ”

Then she returned to her original form, restoring a portrait of a young girl on the page, and she could vaguely feel some soul power remaining on this page.

After that battle in the Ice Lake Manor, the Shining Saber was able to absorb some of the soul fires, although I don't know where those flexible fires ended up, and now Surdak probably figured out that those soul fires were very likely to be used by this Celia. Cooper absorbed, after all, she belonged to the soul form.

As the magic note closed automatically, Surdak rubbed his forehead vigorously.

The sound of two young girls playing and laughing next door to the dormitory was heard, and Surdak paused slightly, then reached out and closed the curtains......

……

Winter mornings in the city of Highlandsa are especially deserted in the rich areas and the area of the Magic Guild.

Surdak got out of bed early, took a shower in the bathroom, and then walked out onto the terrace, where he held a dwarven chain shield against the rising sun, and did a basic sword swing.

He habitually put on a salamander leather armor, and then thought that he was going to attend the funeral of Baron Llewellyn today, if he wore a fiery red leather armor at the funeral, he would not respect Baron Llewellyn so much, he hesitated, rummaged through his magic waist bag for a long time, and found that he really didn't have a decent black dress except for the full metal armor issued by the guard battalion.

I had to ship this slightly bulky metal armor, and then I walked out of the dormitory area, stood on the side of the road at the entrance of the academy and waited for a while, a magic caravan came from the direction of the rich area, slowly stopped in front of Surdak, the carriage door was pushed open by Carl from the inside, and stretched out a hand, Surdak grabbed Carl's hand and jumped on the magic caravan.

Inside the carriage sat Miss Brenda and Mrs. Christie, who were wearing a black gauze skirt and a black hat and a black gauze, Miss Brenda was also holding a handkerchief in her hand, and her eyes looked red, she must have cried, she put on some light makeup, and her skin was very white.

Surdak nodded lightly to the two ladies and sat down in the seats across from them.

Karl sat beside Mrs. Christie, put one hand around Mrs. Christie's shoulder, watched Surdak put on a standard metal armor of the guard battalion, and said to him, "You are a little more handsome in this full-cover metal armor than that salamander leather armor." ”

Surdak didn't wear a helmet, but sat in a magic caravan in this heavy armor, which was really uncomfortable, and he regretted a little that he didn't come out on horseback.

He tapped his finger on the breastplate, and the sound of metal striking was particularly crisp.

"It's okay, it's a little lighter than expected." Surdak said to Karl.

Surdak looked at Miss Brenda and gave her a knightly salute, saying, "I'm sorry I couldn't help him on the battlefield in the oak woods." ”

Miss Brenda raised her head, stared at Surdak and said, "It's not your fault, it's his bad luck, I should have persuaded him to stay in the city of Highlandsa that day, I didn't even have time to say goodbye to him." ”

There was always an indescribable emotion in her eyes, which made Surdak not know how to talk for a while.

Mrs. Christie turned around, took Miss Brenda in her arms, and whispered to her: "Time cannot always go back, and those of us who survive must also look forward, and a good life is the greatest relief for him." ”

“……”

The cemetery is located in a cemetery on the western outskirts of the city of Highlandza.

When the group arrived, there were already many people gathered in the cemetery, and there were many people who chose to hold the funeral today, and there was a large empty space outside the cemetery, and now it was almost full of magic caravans. Surdak and Karl were the first to get out of the car, and the two of them stood on either side of the carriage, helping the two ladies down the way from where they had to walk into the cemetery.

The snow on this mountain road is very clean, but fortunately there are many people on this road, and the road is not so monotonous and boring.

Carl also knew a lot of acquaintances, and he kept saying hello along the way.

Many of the young nobles who had lived through the night of the battle at the Ice Lake Manor had friends at funerals, and Surdak and Karl were the ones who attracted the most attention when they passed by. Of course, it is impossible to go unnoticed, after all, Surdak single-handedly killed a necromancer.

"It looks like you're already famous, and everyone remembers you!" Karl whispered to Surdak.

Surdak said, "I would like to know if I can be compensated for the damage I lost in that battle. ”

Karl said with great certainty: "Of course, it's just that the city hall and the guard battalion have been dealing with the aftermath recently, and the reward and compensation part will be delayed for a few days, even if you don't mention this matter, the guard battalion will help you apply, but it is unlikely to compensate you for an epic weapon." ”

Surdak explained to Karl again that the saber was not an epic weapon, saying, "Actually, my shining saber is not an epic weapon, it is only an enchanted weapon at best, I bought it at the White Elephant Trading House. ”

The group walked into a wooded field full of tombstones, where two grave keepers stood with shovels next to a tomb that had been dug large and deep, and there were already many people standing around it, and the epitaph on the marble tombstone had been engraved.

Surdak stood at the back of the crowd with Carr, Miss Brenda and Mrs. Christie, almost each holding a bunch of green pine and cypress branches, and they waited for a little while in front of the cemetery when they saw a group of men carrying a coffin slowly approaching from the other side of the cemetery.

Karl whispered to Surdak that the woman who was holding the two children by the coffin was Baron Llewellyn's wife.

Two women in long black dresses each held a child in their hands, they walked slowly with their heads down, until the coffin was placed in front of the tombstone, the two women stood in front of the tombstone with the child, and then a middle-aged nobleman read some of the life deeds of Baron Llewellyn with an extremely sad expression, and finally put the wooden coffin into the tomb, and all the people present lined up to walk up, threw the pine and cypress branches in their hands on the coffin, and finally two grave keepers backfilled the frozen soil and erected the tombstone.

On the tombstone is a bouquet of white flowers, which is frozen with a layer of ice shell that can hold on in the north wind for at least half a day unless the ice shell melts.

Mademoiselle Brenda as the love of Baron Llewellyn. People can only stand behind the crowd.

The funeral lasted less than two hours before it ended, and when he returned, Carl's expression looked a little solemn, and Mrs. Christie asked him what was wrong, and Carl squeezed out a smile but shook his head and said nothing.

Miss Brenda was sent home first, and when the carriage returned into the street, Karl held Mrs. Christie's beautiful face and kissed it passionately, not caring about Surdak, who was sitting on the opposite side of the carriage, after being sprinkled with dog food, and the two ended the kiss just when Surdak hesitated to jump out of the car and walk back to the knight's academy.

Karl touched Mrs. Christie's hair and said to her with some sadness, "I suddenly want to get married, just the two of us!" I don't want you to attend my funeral at some point in the future and stand at the back of the crowd......"

Mrs. Christie rested her head on Carl's shoulder and didn't say 'yes' or say no.

But in Surdak's opinion, this is a refusal!

Instead of continuing on the topic, they talked about the Bird Tax Officer.

The tax collector was also fateful, he lost an arm, and his chest was almost cut open by the ghost's scythe, but his wounds have healed very well since he returned to the city of Highlandza, and he seems to be able to get out of bed and walk around casually these days, and it is said that Miss Hoyle has been taking care of the Bird tax collector herself for the last few days.

Bird's tax officer's wife died of illness two years ago, and he sent his son, who had just turned sixteen, to the battlefield, and now he happens to be alone, as long as the two have some affection, the teenage age gap is nothing in the Grimm Empire.

And as long as the Bird tax collector has a child with Miss Hoyle, he will inherit Miss Hoyle's viscount title in the future.

Speaking of Miss Hoyle finally having a home, although the Bird tax collector was not very wealthy, and he was a middle-aged uncle who was missing an arm, and he could not see his toes even when he stood upright, Mrs. Christie still seemed very happy, after all, except for the Bird tax officer, no one in the city of Highland was willing to marry Miss Hoyle for the time being......

Before the magic caravan reached the gates of the Knight Academy, Surdak jumped out of the car and strode down the long street leading to the Knight Academy, not wanting to sit in the car and see Karb's hairy thighs......
