When Surdak led the convoy out of the village of Wall, a white line had just lit up on the edge of the horizon in the barren Gobi Desert.

It wasn't until they crossed the Paglos Pass that the red sun appeared on the edge of the earth and the sky.

Standing at the top of the pass, you can see in the distance a group of people under the dead trees at the entrance of the village, Old Sheila, Natasha, Rita, Little Peter, and Aphrodite.

That's right, this time the succubus Aphrodi stayed in Wall Village, although she turned her back on the king of sin Amozdan and was cut off by the clansmen, but she is still a succubus after all, if someone finds out her true identity, it is estimated that it will bring some unnecessary trouble to Surdak, Aphrodi offered to stay in Wall Village.

Surdak and his party crossed Oak Ridge with six wagons full of sulphur mines, and finally arrived at the city of Highlandsa before the gates closed.

However, Surdak was not in a hurry to enter Highlandsa this time with six four-wheeled carriages, and the inn outside the city of Highlandsa had larger compounds.

The buildings in the city of Highlandsa are extremely compact, and there are not many places to choose if you want to find a hotel that can park six four-wheeled carriages at the same time, and the cost of accommodation in the city is much higher than that of hotels outside the city, and the ogre Gulitem entering the city will also cause panic among the residents of the city, so Surdak decided to let the ogre and the six carriages stay outside the city.

Early the next morning, Surdak arrived at the White Elephant Firm with six four-wheeled wagons, sold all the sulphur ore to the White Elephant Firm, paid the coachmen a commission, and then took Andrew, Samira, and Gulitham to the Hylanza Guard Camp to report.

As the group of four walked down the street, the inhabitants of the city of Highlanza threw surprised glances at the ogre.

In the morning, Surdak bought a good dried salted fish from the White Elephant Trading House, which weighed nearly thirty pounds of mackerel, and the whole dried fish exuded a salty fragrance, which made the ogre Gulitum feel very good, and he carried the dried fish in his hands all the way.

Samira, the half-elven archer, still covered her face tightly with her hood, and she wore salamander leather armor and carried a forest bow on her back, and many people admired the beautiful leather armor she wore, but no one noticed the beauty hidden under the hood.

Dressed in the all-cover armor of the Hylanza Guard Battalion, Andrew was more like a guard battalion knight than Surdak, and he rode down the street, and the pedestrians on the street took the initiative to avoid the sides, giving Andrew an unprecedented sense of superiority.

The group of four walked through the streets of the city of Hylanza and entered the courtyard of the guard barracks, and some of the guards camp knights took the initiative to greet Surdak.

Surdak asked casually, only to learn that Viscount Emmett had led the knights of the guard battalion who had gone out to the maca plane to return to Highlandsa in a magic airship three days ago, and Surdak led the horse to the stable, and then took Andrew and Samira and Gulitham into the main building of the guard camp.

Walked into the rest area of the support squadron, said hello to the knight on duty of the support squadron, and learned that the squadron leader Carl was also there today, so he pushed the door and walked into Carl's office, and happened to see Carl sitting on a chair behind the desk, his feet in riding boots raised high on the table, chatting with a staff member.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and the female clerk who was chatting quickly put away her flirtatious smile, sorted out her uniform and skirt in a panic, and then slipped out of the door with a stack of documents.

Walking into Carl's office, the two embraced.

Karl said to Surdak:

"I'm counting the days, and it's time for you to arrive in the city of Highlandza. Is it going well? ”

Surdak nodded.

"Let's go, let's go to Captain Sauron to say hello, and by the way, go through the formalities for your vigilantes." Carl put his arm around his good brother's shoulders and said lazily.

……

"Captain Sauron, I'm bringing it back from the maca plane this time......" Carl sat across from Captain Sauron and pushed the three applications over.

The application had the resumes of Samira and Andrew written on it, and Captain Sauron rubbed his forehead, waved his hand at Karl, and said:

"Andrew, Samira and Gullitham, the names of these people make my ears callous, I heard that there is another one of them is an alien ogre, if it is any brigade in Hylantha City, I will not agree to their application for employment, but if you want them to maintain law and order in the barren land, the entry conditions can be appropriately relaxed."

He glanced at Surdak, who was standing behind Karl, and said to him:

"Since Carl and Emmett are both highly recommended, then I can do something special on my side, but ...... Not an example! ”

The formation of the security team in the barrens outside the Paglos Pass has long been agreed, and the entry of Andrew and Samira has been recommended by the leader of the support squadron, Karl, and the approval of Viscount Emmett, although these three people do not meet the entry requirements of the guard battalion, but Captain Sauron just casually read the application form, and then signed his name on it very happily.

After more than two months of recuperation, Captain Sauron's injuries have basically healed, and the only regret is that he missed the plane war on the maca plane. On the contrary, Viscount Emmett picked up a bargain and wrote an extremely heavy stroke on his personal resume and merit book.

Carl is the squadron leader who was brought up by Captain Sauron, so he is also very close to Captain Sauron.

Captain Sauron leaned back in his chair, and he had gained a lot of weight in the past two months of recuperation.

He looked at Surdak again, smiled at Surdak and said:

"This time is a good job, Knight Surdak, this time the Hylantha guard battalion has been praised by the Marquis of Luthor, all the knights who go to the maca plane will be on leave for half a month, and there will be corresponding rewards, and your reward is a little special, before the new notice is issued, you have to wait patiently, it is likely to be delayed, but there is also the benefit of being late."

Leaving Captain Solon's office, the next thing is much simpler, first find Ms. Flora of the Personnel Department of the Guard Battalion to go through the formal entry procedures, only with the signature of Ms. Flora's side, the three of them can receive a fixed salary from the guard battalion every month.

Later, under the leadership of Karl, he went to the warehouse under the guard camp and received the standard equipment issued by the guard camp from Gwendoline, and Samira received a brand new alloy bow from the weapons warehouse.

Surdak and Karl made an appointment to meet at the Three Bears Barbecue Restaurant in the evening, and then took Samira, Andrew, and Gulitham out of the guard camp and went directly to the Knight Academy in the city of Highlandza.

This maca plane war made him miss the winter final exam of the Knight Academy, but since he has become a first-class knight, it is impossible for the Knight Academy to be stuck with his Knight Academy graduation certificate.

When he arrived at the Knight Academy, Surdak asked Samira, Andrew and Gulitham to wait for him at the open-air restaurant opposite the gate of the Academy, ordered some high-sea pine nuts and other refreshments for the three of them, and then walked into the Knight Academy.

He didn't go directly to the teaching office of the Knight Academy to apply for graduation, but found Assistant Teacher Paplo.

Seeing Surdak standing in front of him in a demonic pattern, Assistant Coach Paplo was surprised and put his hands on his chest. Crossing forward, he asked with envy, "Knight Surdak, I heard that you went to participate in the maca plane war with the guard battalion?" ”

"Yes!"

Surdak, dressed in the 'Shield of the Earth' magic pattern, stood in the office of the third-year school and attracted attention.

Assistant Coach Paplo hurriedly pulled Surdakla out of the office and said excitedly: "This time the maca plane war is victorious, well done!" Pena Province ...... One such big victory is needed to boost the morale of the army. ”

He looked at Surdak seriously and said, "I haven't seen you for two months, and you are already a knight in construction!" This time back to the Knight Academy, count...... You've been in college for six months, are you here to apply for graduation? ”

Surdak replied directly: "That's right. ”

Assistant Teacher Paplo nodded and said, "The day before yesterday, the dean just instructed you to come to the Knight Academy to go through the graduation procedures, I want to meet you." ”

Surdak didn't expect the dean to want to see him, so he asked Assistant Professor Paplo: "The dean wants to see me, do you know what's the matter?" ”

Assistant Teacher Paplo shook his head vigorously, and whispered to Surdak, "Since it is the dean himself, it should be a good thing!" ”

……

In the dean's office, Assistant Professor Paplor stood on a soft velvet carpet with a smile on his face.

In addition to Assistant Coach Paplo, there is also Instructor Milono in the office. Although Instructor Mirono was Surdak's instructor, Surdak rarely saw him even when he was in a cultural class at the Knight Academy, so the two were not familiar with each other, so the two just glanced at each other and then looked away.

Lord Dean stood up, walked up to Surdak, looked at him with a smile, and said, "Only war is the best yardstick to test whether a knight is qualified, in view of your outstanding performance in the city of Warzhmara on the Maca plane, Knight Surdak, congratulations on graduating from the Knight Academy with excellent grades!" ”

After saying that, the female assistant next to her handed a roll of parchment to Surdak.

Surdak stretched out his hand to take it and said respectfully:

"Thank you, Dean."

The dean's eyes were almost squeezed together when he laughed, he combed his slightly thinning hair with his hand, and said with a big belly: "Although you have only studied at the Knight Academy for only six months, you are a knight who has walked out of the Knight Academy of Highlandsa after all, so I want to frame your sketch portrait and hang it in the Academy's previous Hall of Fame, would you like to?" ”

"It's my pleasure!" Surdak didn't expect the dean to see him, but for this matter, he hurriedly replied, there will be no loss anyway.

When the dean heard Surdak readily agree, he sat back in his chair and said, "Okay, I'm still in a hurry to attend a meeting, and I'll let Baplor do the rest for you......"

……

Surdak led the Guborima back to the dormitory to pack up some salutes, and heard cheerful footsteps in the hallway, and not long after the sound of discussion came from the next door, Surdak heard that it was the voice of Lina and Nedra, he put his belongings in his magic waist bag, looked at the empty room, and locked the door casually.

The key to the dormitory had to be returned to the dorm keeper downstairs, but before he could do so, he had to say goodbye to the two neighbors who got along well.

He walked to the door of the next bedroom, reached out and knocked on the open door, where Lina and Nedra were discussing a book around the door, and when Surdak suddenly appeared outside the door, the two girls looked overjoyed and shouted with excitement.

Surdak chatted with the two girls for a few words, and then explained that he was saying goodbye to the two girls.

Lina didn't expect Surdak to get the graduation certificate of the Knight Academy so quickly, and she opened her mouth slightly. mouth, surprised and said: "Ah, Knight Surdak, are you about to graduate so soon?" ”

Surdak nodded, shook the key in his hand, and said to the two girls: "I have packed up the room, and I will hand over the key later!" ”

Nedra next to him suddenly became melancholy, and whispered: "I'm really reluctant to let you go, you haven't taught us the peeling technique yet......"

Surdak said to the shy girl: "Nedra has done a great job, you have learned the theory very well, all that is lacking is practical experience, only by trying and practicing while you are going through the experience can you become a qualified skinner." ”

The three of them huddled on the narrow terrace at the end of the corridor, looking at the east side of the Knight Academy, Surdak asked the two girls, "By the way, what are your plans for the future?" I mean after graduation ......"

"I'm going to join an adventure group after graduation and go out and around while I'm young." Lina said cheerfully.

It seems that it should have been thought out a long time ago.

"Probably going to get married! It is estimated that you will have to follow the arrangement of the family. Nedra whispered, "Knight Surdak, what about you?" ”

Surdak looked in the direction of the village of Wall and said, "If nothing else, I will be the sheriff in the barren land outside the Paglos Pass, and you can come to me at any time if you go to the barren land!" ”

Lina did not expect Surdak to become the sheriff of the Badlands, and said:

"Ah, are you really going to such a remote place?"

Surdak nodded slightly and said:

"Actually, my home is over there."

After saying a few more goodbye greetings to the two girls, Surdak waved his hand and turned and walked down the hallway of the dormitory building towards the staircase.

Just as Surdak was about to descend the stairs, Lina caught up a few steps and shouted at Surdak:

"Oh, by the way, Knight Surdak, I almost forgot to tell you that during the time you went out on your guard camp mission, there were always two young female swordsmen who came to the academy to look for you, and they didn't seem to be from Hylanza."

Surdak was slightly stunned, then stopped and turned his head and asked, "Linna, do you know their names?" ”

Lena and Nedra looked at each other, then shook their heads at the same time.

Nedra added, "Darcy. Instructor Christie seems to know them......"

Surdak nodded, didn't ask anything more, and turned and walked down the stairs.
