As we enter the end of September, the sky is cloudy.

The climate of the barren land becomes very cool at night, and a gust of wind blows the icy cold, and by noon, the vicious sun can scorch the rocky ground, and the breath will be hot, and it is easy to get sunburned when standing under the sun.

The knights of the guard battalion could not stand this sudden cold and hot climate, and some of the knights contracted typhoid fever as a result.

Captain Sauron, fearing that typhoid fever would spread among the army and affect the wounded knights, decided that the First Brigade would abandon the pursuit of the remnants of the rebels who had fled to Death Ridge and return to the city of Highlandza.

Surdak first returned to the village of Wall with the knights of the guard battalion, and the knights of the guard battalion made some supplies of horses and forage, and Surdak left Andrew, who was seriously wounded, in the village, and himself returned to the city of Hylanza with the first brigade of the guard battalion.

This time he came to the city of Hylanza to repair the broken magic pattern structure, the blood crescent moon and the shield of Moses' blessing are damaged to varying degrees, although Moses' blessing is a replica, but the damage is still worth repairing.

However, the guard battalion Lady Gwendolyn told Surdak that at present, the guard battalion can only bear the repair cost of the 'Moses' Blessed Shield, and the Blood Crescent and the 'Earth Shield' Demon Pattern Guard Battalion cannot repair it, but Andrew's standard armor can be replaced with a new one.

Surdak was the first to discover the rebels' hideout, and the encirclement was rewarded with a lot of merit, which can be exchanged for some precious and rare materials from the Quartermaster Office at the City Hall, and of course some magic crystals and the like, but few people will do this unless they are too down-and-out, because these feats can be promoted to a knighthood after reaching a certain value.

It was said that the merit required for a third-class baron to be promoted to a second-class baron was only five hundred merits, and Surdak felt that if he participated in another operation of this scale, he would probably be able to make up enough merit for the promotion of a second-class baron.

The Cavendish squadron leader never looked for Surdak again.

As the squadron leader of the rebels, Cavendish is a small leader of the rebels.

As such, he will be escorted to the northern province of Sloit, where he will be tried by the military tribunal of the province of Sloit.

According to Cavendish, the magicians of the Dark Moon Gate confirmed through various channels that the so-called Red Dragon Treasure was real.

The exact location of the Red Dragon's treasure is recorded in a map, but after the death of Duke Bradbury, the map was divided equally among his two sons, the eldest who inherited all the glory of the Bradbury family in the Grimm Empire, and the other half-human, half-demon son Eustace. Bradbury returns to the sea with the other half of the treasure map.

For hundreds of years, Lord Eustace never appeared in the Grimm Empire.

The rest of the broken treasure map was kept in Bradbury Manor, but the descendants of Bradbury could not find the treasure based on this half of the treasure map, and the rebels attacked Bradbury Manor and snatched the crystal key that could open the door to the treasure, and it was heard that the half of the broken map was stolen by a dozen rebels.

In addition to the information about the Red Dragon's treasure, Cavendish also gave details about the attack on Bradbury Manor in Bednar City.

What was once puzzling was how the rebels quietly infiltrated the Bradbury Manor, ransacked the Bradbury Manor, and then calmly retreated before the Guard Battalion knights arrived.

Now, the answer has finally been unraveled by Cavendis.

Most of the members of the Darkmoon Gate are a group of space mages who have turned their backs on the astrologers' union, and Lady Calle, who was involved in plotting the coup d'état in Sloit, is a well-known space mage, and these mages are best at building magic teleportation arrays, and occasionally draw a few magic scrolls, such as directional teleportation scrolls......

The rebels who attacked Bradbury Manor this time sneaked into Pena City through a temporary portal created by a directional teleportation scroll.

……

Surdak arrived in the enchanted district of the city of Highlandza.

He glanced into the academy as he passed by the junior knight academy, and there was only one trainee knight practicing the phalanx in the square in front of the academy's teaching building.

Arrived at the Magic Guild of Highlandsa City, went upstairs and found Lance who was doing magic experiments, Surdak asked him to introduce an inscription master who was good at repairing magic patterns, Lance happily put down what he was doing and took Surdak to the door of a laboratory on the third floor of the Magic Tower.

"This magician is the most famous inscription master in Highlanza City, but he is usually very busy, whether he is willing to help you depends on a little luck, so far, your luck has been good!" Lance stood in the doorway, knocked softly, and whispered to Surdak.

A delicate-looking female magic apprentice opened the door and peered out.

When she saw the handsome Lance standing at the door, a sweet smile immediately appeared in her eyes, and she asked Lance kindly, "Lance Magician, is there anything I can do to help you?" ”

"I'd like to meet Francis the Magior." Lance said to the Witch Apprentice.

Many people know that Lance is a student of Gerald, the head of the Magic Guild Law Enforcement Corps, and he has a handsome appearance, so he is very comfortable in the Magic Guild.

The female magic apprentice smiled and said to Lance, "Wait a minute. ”

Then the apprentice turned around and returned to the room, and soon heard a voice from the laboratory: "Let him in!" ”

The figure of the Witch Apprentice appeared in the doorway of the room, pushing open the heavy wooden door for the two of them.

Lance led Surdak into the magic laboratory, where the wooden shelves on one wall were filled with delicate armor made of magical leather, and on the other side of the wooden shelves were bottles of magic dyes of different colors, and a middle-aged magician wearing a brown magic robe was standing in front of a test bench, using a magic carving pen to carve intricate magic patterns on a metal plate.

Lance and Surdak were taken to a rest area by the Witch Apprentice, who served two cups of tea and motioned for them to wait.

After waiting for a while, the middle-aged magician finally stopped his pen and let out a long exhale, as if he had finished drawing the magic pattern.

When he came over, Surdak found that the middle-aged magician was a little familiar, and there were not many magicians he had dealt with in Highlandsa City, so he thought about it carefully, and then remembered that the magician in front of him had bought salamander meat in the underground market, and later Surdak also made a special trip to send salamander meat to this Francis magician.

Magician Francis looked at Surdak twice and asked him suspiciously, "Have I seen you somewhere?" ”

"You may not remember, but I sold salamander meat in the underground market...... Surdak quickly replied.

"Oooh...... It turned out to be you, I said how do I think you are a little familiar, it turned out to be you......" Francis Magician smiled and sat across from the two.

Lance directly said what he meant: "Lord Francis, we are here to find you to ask you to repair a set of magic pattern ......"

"Is it your Demonic Pattern?" Magician Francis turned to Surdak and asked.

Surdak nodded.

Francis said to Surdak: "You might as well take it out and show me, I'm only good at repairing a few kinds of magic pattern structures, and the damage is not too serious, of course, if it is that kind of common general type, it is another matter, magic pattern structures with special magic patterns generally need to be repaired by the maker himself." ”

Surdak took out the 'Earth Shield' Demonic Pattern Construct from his magic belt pack and placed them on the wooden table one by one.

Seeing the breastplate of the 'Earth Shield' suit, Francis Magician frowned and muttered, "You actually have this top-level magic pattern construction, let me take a look at ......"

He lowered his head, first looked at the breastplate part of the demon pattern structure with a serious face, then flipped through the trouser armor and shoulder pads, and looked at it for a long time before raising his head and saying to Surdak: "This set of magic pattern construction is quite badly damaged, but fortunately, the magic pattern in the core part has not been seriously damaged, otherwise it will be quite troublesome to repair." ”

"So, you can fix this Magic Pattern Structure." Lance leaned closer to Francis the magician and asked in a whisper.

Magician Francis had a hint of smugness on his face, puffed up his chest and said to Lance Magician, "Of course! There will never be more than three inscriptionists in the entire city of Highlandsa who are qualified to repair this set of top-level magic pattern constructions, I can barely count one of them, you may not feel how complicated this 'Earth Shield' magic pattern is, but he is definitely the most difficult to repair in a one-turn magic pattern construction, fortunately, there are no problems with its main magic matrix, even so, it will take me three days to repair it. ”

Lance nodded again and again, and said to the Francis magician, "So you agreed?" Can we pick it up in three days? ”

"Yes!" Francis promised to come down.

"Magician Francis, you think you need more crystals for the gratuity...... Lance asked.

"That's it, I'll repair this magic pattern construct first, and different kinds of magic dyes will be used in the repair process, and Linda will do the final accounting in the end! In addition, next time there is salamander meat, remember to give it to me first! Magician Francis thought for a moment before speaking.

The female magic apprentice who was waiting on the side smiled at Lance, his eyes like two crescents.

Surdak and Lance then bid farewell to Francis Magician, and Lance returned to the magic laboratory to continue his unfinished experiments, and Surdak then turned around and went to the outside of Scholar Ferdinand's room, knocking on the wooden door with intricate magical patterns.
