487. Ogre who loves horses
Bena City
Night is coming
The street lamps on each street are like strings of dazzling pearl necklaces hanging on the breasts of the black gauze beauties, and countless lights light up the city, and the city of Bena shows everyone the prosperity of the night.
In the early spring season, the night breeze is slightly cold.
Standing in front of the railing of the third-floor terrace of a restaurant in downtown Bena, Aphrodi looked at the bustling central street beneath her feet, and took Samira's arm excitedly.
The news of the Maca's victory breathed a bit of life into the city, which was not so lively at night when Surdak last came to Bena.
It is unknown how many merchant groups heard the news of the victory and poured into Bena City from all over the city.
Aphrodite sighed for no reason: "I finally understand why King Amozdan always misses the Roland Continent, this is really a paradise on earth. ”
She had just drunk a little ale, her dark gray face was flushed, and her eyes were like autumn lakes.
"Hey ......"
Surdak reluctantly wanted to remind Aphrodite that if she kept talking about the Flame Hell and the Sin Demon King Amozdan, something would happen sooner or later.
"Okay, I know, try not to say such things in the future!" Aphrodite slurps sex. The lips of the sense smiled slightly.
Although there was a black veil, Surdak found that she was half-concealed, and the smile on her face was even more attractive.
Surdak regretted a little, he was really a little too bold this time, he actually brought a succubus back to Highlandsa, and he didn't know what kind of trouble she would cause, so he really wanted to bring her a mask to cover her face completely.
Aphrodite's clear pupils reflected Surdak's distressed expression, for the succubus, she could not only charm and hypnosis, she could also read Surdak's thoughts from his expression.
Aphrodite glanced at the scenery outside the street indifferently and sighed softly: "The night view here is so beautiful......"
The sexy lips under the black gauze are inadvertently raised slightly, what an upright knight!
Several magicians walked through the corridor of the restaurant on the third floor, led by two waiters to the upper floor, Aphrodi quickly put away the smile on her face, stood next to the railing, and turned her body very naturally, only giving those magicians a vague back, for human magicians, she was still deeply vigilant, those two black magicians who had won the trust of King Amozdan left a deep impression on her.
"It's getting late, it's time for us to go back!" Surdak looked at the bell tower hidden in the night in the distance and said.
The tall bell tower has a flame burning on the hands of each dial, allowing people to see the approximate time even at night.
Surdak was about to walk down the stairs next to the terrace on the third floor of the restaurant when he suddenly saw an acquaintance standing at the door of the restaurant......
……
Jin Xi stood at the entrance of the restaurant, wearing a light leather armor of tooth white, and his shoes were shiny.
He tried to squeeze a smile out of his face to make himself look more humble, and stood on the steps of the restaurant, constantly peering down the hall.
A group of young nobles walked out of the hall, and Da Jinxi's eyes fell on the young man in the middle, the young man was surrounded by other young nobles, with a worldly face that was extremely inconsistent with his age, Da Jinxi took out a handkerchief and wiped the fine sweat on his forehead.
The early spring in Bena was not as hot as in Vozhmara, but his forehead was still covered with sweat.
Merlin. Viscount Newman and a group of friends walked through the lobby and walked out of the dining room, the waiter standing at the door of the restaurant opened the door one step earlier, and the magic caravan waiting outside stopped at the entrance of the restaurant first, and the coachman jumped down from his seat and opened the door in front of the waiter.
Merlin was whispering softly to a friend beside him, who was standing beside the carriage and was not in a hurry to get into it.
As a descendant of the Newman family in Pena, Merlin is the seventeenth in line to the throne, he has no magical talent, and he is not willing to follow the path of knighthood and rely on military exploits to exchange titles.
Unless the Newman family suffers an unprecedented catastrophe, the position of Duke of Bednar will not be his turn anyway.
But in that case, his chances of survival are pretty slim.
So he has been in shape very early, using his position in the family, and starting to do things for the family early after graduation, his intelligence and humility have made him quite popular in the aristocratic circles of Bena City, and his optimistic and positive attitude has made it difficult for the other heirs of the family to be jealous of him.
Of course, the main reason is that the ranking is too low, and there is no threat to others at all.
The other young aristocrats were right in front of the restaurant and chatted with Merlin. Newman waved goodbye, they weren't going home so early, tugging and talking in twos and twos in search of a better show for the night.
"Merlin, you're going to Vadser City tomorrow?" The friend stood at the door of the magic caravan and asked Merlin.
The young viscount nodded, and said to the friend, "Yes! I'm going to see Angus. The Earl of Newman, who was a branch of the family, and his great-grandfather was my great-great-great-great-great-grandfather, the thirty-seventh Duke of Pena. ”
"It seems that the relationship is a bit far away, what is worth your personal visit?" The friend asked curiously.
Merlin smiled faintly, knowing what his friend was thinking in his heart, and said: "It's not too important, that is, some of the trade exchanges in the family need to be re-established, and a series of concessions will be made here, and if you want to meddle in the trade of the Newman family, it is not easy from the side of Bednar City, so many lords in the city are staring at that piece of cake, and they are almost about to break their heads, it is better to think of a way from Angus's side." ”
The friend's eyes lit up, and he asked in a low voice, "What is the reason why the one in your family is willing to give Angus . Earl Newman divides a piece of cake? The city of Vadseh is a remote part of the province of Bena. ”
Merlin did not hide it from this friend, revealing some inside information: "Angus. The Earl of Newman certainly doesn't deserve our investment, but his favorite daughter, Shirley, my distant aunt, is a magician......"
My friend said with some incomprehension: "I guess...... The magicians who serve the Newman family can almost form a group of mages, right? ”
Merlin shook his head, glanced at his friend meaningfully, and said, "Aunt Shirley is different, she is currently studying at the Royal Academy of Magic in the Imperial Capital. ”
"Although high-achieving students from the Royal Academy of Magic are rare, it is not uncommon in Bena Province, doesn't the Magic Guild have two places every year?" Friends are even more confused.
Merlin pressed his friend's shoulder and let him listen to him: "Of course, not only that, she met another young genius magician at the Royal Academy of Magic, and the relationship between the two of them progressed very quickly, the two were actually engaged a month ago, it is reported that the young magician nobleman is the second in line to the throne of the Mensa family, if nothing else, my Aunt Shirley will be a marquise when she gets married, if there is any accident, it will not be possible in the next few decades, She will be the hostess of the province of Palestina. ”
"This ...... Luck is too! The friend's eyes widened and he let out a low cry.
Merlin smirked: "Otherwise, Pena City has been very busy lately, how could it be possible for me to make a special trip to Vadsor?" ”
The two of them stood at the door of the restaurant and chatted, and they were not in a hurry to leave by car, and Da Jinxi, who had been waiting on the side, lost his patience a little, and when he saw that the waiter in the restaurant did not notice him, he walked in front of Merlin in a few steps, and bent down to face Merlin. Viscount Newman says:
"Lord Viscount, I am Ferdinand, a merchant in the city of Warjmara on the maca plane. Kinsey, you ......"
Merlin recognized the Great Kinsey at a glance, and he was impressed by the slave trader, but the time was ...... This location...... It's not the time to see people like him, although Merlin runs some gray businesses, but he has always been cautious, after all, the Newman family can't be tainted by this kind of thing.
Merlin looked at Da Jinxi in shock and anger, and scolded him: "How did you merchants find here, there is a special affairs officer in charge of the affairs of the maca plane, and it is useless for you to find me." ”
Da Jinxi has been looking for a chance to meet this Viscount Merlin, and when he saw Viscount Merlin, he found the indifference in the other party's eyes, Da Jinxi was a little enthusiastic, after all, there are more than a thousand mouths in the warehouse, and the food he chews every day is out of his pocket.
Big Kinsey thinks maybe it's Merlin. Viscount Newman forgot about that small business, and he needed to be reminded, so he hurriedly said: "No, you have booked fifty ...... from me before."
Before Da Kinsi could finish speaking, Merlin hurriedly interrupted Da Kinsey's words and instructed one of the knights beside him: "Knight Leon, you go and talk to this Ferdinand. Jinxi businessman have a good chat, I'm still in a hurry......"
"Yes, Lord Viscount!" The knight said respectfully, and then used his body to separate Merlin from the Great Kinsey. Viscount Newman hurriedly boarded the magic caravan, greeted the coachman, and the magic caravan drove away from the door of the restaurant.
The Knight of Leon asked Big Kinsi with a cold face, "...... Ferdinand. Kinsey, tell me something, and I'll tell you the Viscount! ”
Looking at the restaurant waiters who hurriedly gathered around, Da Jinxi knew that if he didn't leave, he would probably be rudely driven away by those restaurant waiters, so he hurriedly said: "...... Nothing important, I just had a whim......"
He turned around and left the restaurant in a gloomy manner......
Surdak stood on the third floor of the restaurant and happened to see such an embarrassing scene in Dajinxi.
"Big Kinsy seems to be in trouble...... Surdak said to Samira, who was beside him.
Samira pursed her lips and said with disdain, "What trouble can a slave trader have?" ”
"It seems that I met a group of kobold slaves who can't be sold!" Aphrodi probed, looking at the big Kinsey who had disappeared into a small alley as he walked quickly through the long street, and said to Surdak in standard imperial Chinese.
Samira pressed the quiver on her waist behind her back and said casually:
"After the victory of the plane war, there will probably be bigger business waiting for him on the side of Warzhmara, so the business here is ready to be disposed of as soon as possible!"
The four of them walked out of the dining room as they spoke.
Surdak had some thoughts of his own, and he chose a volcano at the southern end of the Paglos Mountains to lead the knights, mainly because there was a sulfur mine cave hidden in the middle of the mountainside of the 'pustule' volcano, and the sulfur mine in the rocky area at the foot of the mountain was mined by the villagers of Vol Village, and the reserves of the sulfur mine itself were very limited, and it would be mined in about two months, which had no impact on the villagers of Vol Village.
But if the villagers of Vol Village are allowed to develop the sulfur mine, the poisonous gas and scorching volcanic magma emitted from the sulfur mine are like a sharp sword hanging above the villagers' heads that may fall at any time.
The only problem was how to transport the kobold slaves back to the village of Hylanza, but ...... Big Kinsey seems to say that he has a magic airship of his own.
Surdak did not choose the hotel where the Hylantha guard camp was located, he found a small hotel for the succubus Aphrodite, because the two had an equal magic contract and could feel each other's existence at the spiritual level, Surdak did not leave Samira at the side of the small hotel.
Leaving the small hotel, he saw the succubus Aphrodite push open the window of the room, leaning out half of her body and waving at the three of them.
Her voice wasn't loud, but Surdak could hear it clearly: "Come early tomorrow, I'd like to walk around Bena City......"
When he returned to the hotel, the ogre was already asleep in the stable, half of the horses in the stable were crowded on the other side of the stable, and his legs trembled with the sound of the ogre's snoring, and the ogre had one hand on the manger and was unaware of it.
Seeing the ogre sleeping in the stable, Surdak went directly to the groom of the hotel and asked the hotel how to arrange the ogre in the stable, after all, the ogre was also a supernumerary member of the guard battalion, and during the day, Surdak remembered that Carl wanted to build a pergola by the pool in the yard.
When the hotel groom heard Surdak ask him this, he also had a sad face, and said to Surdak very aggrievedly: "It was this ogre warrior who walked into the stable by himself, and he said that he likes to smell the stable...... The taste of horse meat. ”
Seeing that Surdak was speechless, and the anger on his face turned into embarrassment, the groom took the opportunity to say again: "Lord Knight, you see that these horses I take care of are too frightened to eat, can you persuade your comrades to let him come out to sleep......
"This ...... It's so late today, it's not good to toss everyone, I think I'll talk about this tomorrow, I'll ask Gulitham's opinion tomorrow morning, he's a good talkative ogre, don't be afraid of him, he doesn't usually eat people, and he's willing to be reasonable......" Surdak said to the trembling groom.
looked at the groom who was about to pee, and quickly turned around and ran upstairs.
