396. Blood Crescent
Marquis Bernard raised his head and motioned for Surdak to come to the chair opposite the desk, his gaze was as sharp as a falcon, even if he showed a faint smile, but it could not make people relax, he inserted the quill in his hand into the round inkwell, then crossed his hands in front of the table, and said to Surdak in a calm voice: "Knight Surdak, you have performed well in the battle of the Ice Lake Manor, and I thank you on behalf of the town hall and the House of Representatives." ”
Surdak had just sat down, and the chair was not yet hot before he quickly stood up, he had already thought of some words along the way, at this time, of course, he had to be humble, and hurriedly said: "Lord Archon, those who have died should be rewarded, it is their sacrifice of their lives in the battle that has created a chance for us to win, so that our people can return to Highlandsa City safely from the Ice Lake Manor, I think the warriors who died in battle, including the Knight of Holden, are more worthy of the commendation of the Highlandsa City Hall." ”
The Marquis Bernard raised his eyelids and looked at Surdak deeply, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
He waved Surdak again, motioning for him to sit down and speak.
At this time, the female clerk walked in with a tea tray, placed a cup of fragrant milk tea in front of the Marquis Bernard and Surdak respectively, and walked to Daxi. Christie, over there, placed a cup of tea on the coffee table in the lounge area.
The female clerk turned to leave, and the Marquis Bernard said to Surdak: "The town hall will make the sincerity shown by the city of Highlandsa visible to every brave death in the city of Highlandsa, you are all wonderful young men, I hope that there will be more brave young people in the city of Highlandsa in the future, brave and fearless on the battlefield, and have compassion and are willing to help the weak." ”
It seems that, as Carl said, after the aftermath was dealt with, the people who made some contributions to this incident began to be rewarded.
Marquis Bernard placed a long wooden box on his desk, this wooden box was carved with an elaborate hollow relief, on which were some scenes of dragons and giants fighting, Marquis Bernard placed his hands on the wooden box casually, and said to Surdak: "I heard that you have a very good magic weapon that was damaged in battle, although you can't find a similar magic weapon in the arsenal of the town hall, but I believe that this blood crescent can help you, or you can use it to exchange it for a shining saber in the future." ”
Saying that, the Marquis of Bona lifted the lid of the wooden box, and a blood-red blade was revealed inside, and Surdak was very familiar with it, not long ago in the White Elephant Trading House saw this blood-red crescent, when this scimitar was bought by Leonard swordsman, I didn't expect it to return to Surdak at this time.
Surdak said honestly, "Your Excellency...... This Scarlet Crescent is much more expensive than the Shining Saber! ”
Marquis Bernard smiled, put the blood-red crescent into the wooden box again, and took out a roll of parchment from the drawer, with the red stamp of the town hall on it, he pushed the two items in front of Surdak at the same time, and then said: "Although it is more expensive, it may not be the most suitable for you, take it!" It is a little compensation from the town hall for you, and there is also this knight certificate, the House of Hylanza has granted you permission to become an official knight, although you have become a knight, but I hope that you will stay in the knight academy to complete your advanced studies and successfully get the knight academy graduation certificate, I believe this will be of great help to your knight road. ”
Surdak didn't expect that in addition to the Blood Red Crescent, he would actually obtain the status of an official knight in advance, which was also a surprise.
With the endorsement of the City Hall of Highlandza and the House of Deputies, in the future, even Mondstadt. If Count Goss wants to withdraw his knighthood, I'm afraid it won't affect his knighthood.
Surdak immediately said, "I will finish my studies. ”
Marquis Bernard stood up and walked over to the sand table in the room, where he stood Darcy. Christie's side, pointing to the mountains and forests in the sand table, smiled at Surdak and said, "With this knightly certificate, the Knights of Highlanza will divide a small piece of land for you as your knight's domain." However, before making a decision, it is best to listen carefully to the advice of your friends, knowing that on the outskirts of Highlandza, the value of land in different regions will vary greatly. ”
Surdak walked over and found that the land around the city of Hylanza was really very large, he quickly found the Paglos Mountains from the sand table, found the barren land and the Gobi covered with volcanic ash, and the top of the mountain was inlaid with red gems, representing the pus-covered mountains where the mountain was constantly surging magma, Surdak saw the canyon where the village of Wall was located, and on this rather gentle mountain, there were nearly twenty similar canyons intermittently distributed, almost every canyon had a little bit of greenery in it.
Marquis Bernard followed Surdak's gaze and saw the large barren land on the sand table, he hesitated for a moment and reminded Surdak: "I heard that you were born in a small village on the edge of the barren land, I don't have any ambiguity about it, but I hope you can open your eyes, although the city of Highlandsa is not worth mentioning in the province of Bena, it still has very vast mountains, forests, plains, and lakes. There is a wide range of areas for you to choose from, and this territory will be your private property in the future, so it's important to choose! ”
Surdak said, "I'll think about it, Lord Archon. ”
When he said this, his eyes did not leave the barren land.
Marquis Bernard only reminded him in passing, and seeing that Surdak didn't seem to be listening, he changed the subject and said, "I heard that you have awakened your magical sense?" ”
Surdak nodded and acknowledged, "Yes, Lord Archon, I can sense the magical elements of the divine attributes. ”
The Marquis Bernard laughed twice when he heard Surdak say this, and then said, "This answer is very much in line with the standards of the Magical Guild. ”
Surdak had only realized that this was indeed what Lance had told him, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with that.
Marquis Bernard took a teacup, sat on the sofa in the rest area, and asked Surdak: "What are your plans for the future promotion?" You used to be a shield warrior in the fifty-seven heavy armored infantry regiment, and now you are studying in the knight academy, and you can be regarded as a warrior when you go forward, although I don't deny that the warrior road is still the mainstream promotion path of the Green Empire, but have you ever considered learning more advanced sword skills, after all, Bena Province is the hometown of swordsmen, there is a very complete swordsman inheritance here, and there are many magic swordsmen who have walked out of Bena Province, if you take this road, you will gain a lot of experience from your ancestors. ”
Surdak touched the hilt of the Craftsman's Sword with his hand and replied in a firm tone, "Lord Archon, I want to follow the path of a knight. ”
It seemed that Surdak would have such a choice, Marquis Bernard was slightly stunned, and then said: "Well, of course! The choice is yours. ”
After a few more conversations, Surdak took the wooden box containing the blood-red crescent and talked to Darcy. Christie left the town hall together.
There were many magic caravans parked on the street outside the gate of the town hall, and when Surdak and Miss Darcy walked out of the town hall, the doors of those magic caravans were pushed open one after another, and many young nobles walked down from the cars, and they stood still and watched Surdak and Darcy slowly leave the town hall in the magic caravan.
……
Jumping out of the carriage at the gate of the Knight's Academy, Surdak was relieved from that awkward atmosphere.
He stood on the side of the street and saw the magic caravan turning at the corner of the street, only to let out a long breath, turned around and walked into the knight academy against the heavy snow, and a group of trainee knights ran through the snow on the playground.
The snow on the playground had already reached the upper of his shoes, and Surdak looked up at the gray sky and walked back to the academy dormitory building.
Back in the dormitory, Surdak took the blood-red crescent out of the wooden box.
The arc of this scimitar is not so exaggerated, the handle is wrapped with some linen silk, it is very comfortable to hold, even if it is soaked in blood in battle, it will not slip, and at the end of the grip is inlaid with a gem pedestal, and there is also a fragment of magic crystal on it, and the faint magic power is transmitted to the entire blade through the grip, weaving a net-like magical aura at the blade.
The enchantment effect of this blood-red crescent moon is bleeding, Surdak tried to cut a small wound on his thumb with the blood-red crescent, only to feel a slight flash of knife light, and felt a tingling pain in his fingers, and found that the cut wound on his thumb was like being cut by a sawtooth, and the wound was constantly bleeding, even if he used the Holy Light Technique, the wound healing effect was very poor.
Surdak tried to inject the power of holy light in his body into the blade of the blood red crescent, the blade of the blood red crescent immediately turned from dark red to light silver, he subconsciously made another cut on his thumb, and before Surdak put down the blood crescent, the wound on his thumb actually began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This made Surdak slightly stunned, and thought: What is this knife, the cut wound will actually speed up the healing, except for the scalpel, I'm afraid that no other knife will be expected to have such an effect!
Stopping the release of the divine aura in his body, the blade of the blood-red crescent moon changed from pale silver to dark red again, and this time Surdak did not take it lightly.
Surdak took out the knightly certificate again, opened the parchment roll, and saw that the parchment was printed with the pattern of the sword, shield and spear, and wrote on the paper in Grimdim Chinese: This honor is only awarded to the knight of Surdak, and the seal of the town hall and the House of Representatives is printed on the place.
Surdak thought to himself: it seems that he still needs to bring this knightly certificate to the knightly order and change the remarks of the knight's medal. The distribution of territory is also the responsibility of the Knights, and Surdak wants to say hello first to see how much territory the Knights can allocate to him before making the next step.
The terrace was covered with snow, and the cold outside the window could be felt through the window, and the magic notes of the magician of Cyrus were placed on the table, and the pages of the book were windless and automatic, and in the constant sound of crackling, they turned to Celia by themselves. The last page of Cooper's portrait is located, by Celia the Sorcerer. Cooper stood behind the railing with his chin in his hands and looked curiously at Surdak in the room.
She saw the blood-red crescent scimitar on the table, and said to Surdak, "What you have awakened is the magic element of perceiving the divine attribute, and the blade of this knife is engraved with the blood of the fire demon pattern array, this magic weapon is not suitable for you." That saber with the light system magic pattern array shimmering magic spell is much better than this scimitar! ”
"Of course I do!" Surdak said angrily.
