The office was well-lit, with glass windows looking out across the street on the sidewalk, and most of the pedestrians who passed by had their heads bowed and their hands in their coat pockets.

The office wasn't very large, with only two desks, Hathaway's desk leaning against the window and Beatrice's desk in the doorway.

There was no sofa in the room, Surdak sat on the chair opposite the desk, and looked at the layout of the room, there was only one glass window, the white gauze curtains on both sides of the window were covered with delicate cut-out patterns, and the desk was piled up with official letters like a hill, which was a little messy.

Hathaway was brought in front of her by Surda.

She wore her blonde hair on top of her head, wearing a tube skirt and a lace shirt, looking shrewd and capable, but also setting off her slender waist and straight breasts, holding her soft and thin waist, looking up at her blue eyes, she was a swordsman with an extremely well-proportioned figure, with a faint smell of perfume on her body.

Hathaway took the teacup that Beatrice had handed her.

He took a sip of warm black tea.

"When did you arrive?" Hathaway leaned back on her desk and asked Surdak.

"Yesterday, I went to the magic market to complete some transactions, and I'm sorry I didn't come to see you in the first place." He pulled her white fingers, the fingers were intertwined, her nails were painted with beautiful nail polish, the light and dark skin tones were completely different, and the skin on the palms of her hands was so delicate.

"I miss you so much!"

Hathaway hugged Surdak and said.

Arms wrapped around his neck, and a faint scent with a sweet smell rushed into his nose.

Beatlett also reported from behind Surdak, and the three of them looked like humanoid sandwiches.

"I miss you too......"

When Surdak said this, his heart beat violently a few times, and something in his heart seemed to have broken through the cage of morality.

It wasn't until someone frequently passed by the door of the office, smiled politely, and then always looked at Surdak, that Hathaway restrained the joy in her heart and took the initiative to separate, she didn't want to be watched like a monster in the Colosseum.

Surdak asked the two, "Why did you suddenly want to work in the Foreign Affairs Bureau?" ”

Hathaway stretched, sat down in the chair across from the desk, and said slowly, "You have to find something to do for yourself, so that life will not be so boring." ”

Beatrice and Hathaway huddled together and said in a slightly complaining tone, "I haven't heard from you all winter, didn't you say you went to the desert to clear the sand thieves?" ”

Surdak nodded, and said casually: "I killed some desert bandits, and also robbed some of their war horses, and lived in the desert for almost 50 days before returning to Vol Village, and then rushed back to Bena City without stopping." ”

He didn't mention seeing Harvey yesterday. Gophilo took out two delicate silver knives from his bosom and handed them to Hathaway and Beatrice, the scabbards were inlaid with red, blue and green gemstones, which looked extraordinary.

"Is this a gift for us?" Beatrice asked happily as she compared the silver knife to Hathaway.

Surdak nodded and said, "I think the loot I snatched back from the sand thieves is not bad, so I will bring it to you." ”

Hathaway looked through it carefully, took it to her mouth and sniffed it, found that there was no peculiar smell, pulled out the knife, saw that the blade had gold threads, and said while admiring: "A good gift, it has to be said so bloody...... Hey, this knife seems to have been mixed with pure gold in its blade! ”

There was no mark on the knife, and it was snatched back from the robbers, and the origin of the two delicate knives could not be found, but fortunately, both women liked it very much.

"Would you like to take a tour of my work environment?" Hathaway asked Surdak with a smile.

"Okay!" Surdak said.

Seeing that the colleagues of the Foreign Affairs Bureau were particularly curious about Surdak, Hathaway simply took Surdak to walk around the courtyard of the garden behind the Foreign Affairs Bureau, and introduced him to the surrounding buildings, and the three of them will take a walk in the vaulted cloister covered with ivy, the low wall of the shrubs in the courtyard has just spit out young shoots, and the air is faintly fragrant with tree oil.

"It looks pretty good here." Looking at the office building with a few clean windows, Surdak exclaimed.

The buildings of the city of Bena are indeed much more atmospheric than those built in the mountain city of Highlandza.

It wasn't long before the crisp and melodious chime of the roof bell was heard, which startled a flock of pigeons resting on the bell tower.

When the bell rings, it means that the lunch break begins, and the lunch break for Bena City officials is about two hours, and many people do not like to work in the afternoon, so they choose to work half a day.

"You can go......" Beatrice was a little impatient, pulling Surdak towards the door of the Foreign Affairs Bureau.

The Luthers' carriage stopped on the side of the road, and Hathaway and Beatrice boarded the carriage of the magic caravan before they could relax completely, and the bold Beatrice even pulled up her long skirt a little and straddled Surdak's legs, wrapped her arms around his neck, and her soft lips were imprinted, making Surdak feel how hot her heart really was.

The magic caravan didn't stop where it was, but slowly merged into the traffic on the street.

The scene kept moving backwards before Surdak asked, "Where are we going in the afternoon?" ”

Hathaway and Beatrice looked at each other, then looked out the window, and Hathaway said, "It's not decided yet, let's go, let's find a restaurant to eat first." ”

"I know there's another nice restaurant on the other side of the east gate of Newman Castle, and this year it's popular to eat chilled fish in the Green Empire, and the fish in that restaurant is pretty good." Beatrice recommended Surdak.

Surdak actually didn't really want to eat fish in his heart, in the Grimm Empire, fish seems to be the favorite food of the elves and the Naga people, the Imperial people prefer whole wheat bread, cheese, broth, vegetable salad, etc., and the life of the common people is simpler, scones and cereal porridge are essential things in life.

In particular, there are mola fish hanging in Shande's butcher's shop, which looks like a combination of ghost knife fish and octopus, and even if he knows that eating this fish strengthens the body's resistance to the water element, Surdak is not very interested.

"Then let's try it there today." Surdak agreed, not wanting his personal preferences to ruin Beatrice's interest.

I used to look at the castle in Bena City from afar, and I only thought that Newman Castle, which is located in the northern city, was very majestic, but now I took a car to the ring road outside the castle wall, and I realized that the castle is much bigger than what I see, but the outer wall is nearly 20 meters high, if it is in other places, a 20-meter-high building can almost build a five-story building, but here it is only three floors.

The windows in the perimeter walls are small enough to facilitate lookouts and archery, and it is impossible for an adult to get out of them.

The castle is built like a hill of countless buildings, and the high roof has a bit of Gothic style, which makes people stand under the castle and naturally feel a sense of awe in their hearts.

The ring road outside the castle is surrounded by a high wall on one side and a river bank on the other, and the whole castle is surrounded by clear water, and there are some shops opened by nobles on the other side of the river.

The restaurant is new, and the food is no better than other high-end restaurants, but the location is just across the river, and the view from the outside is good, and you can sit by the restaurant window and enjoy the panoramic view of Newman Castle.

Surdak ate the last piece of fish on his plate, thinking that if he had a chance, he could take Samira here to taste it.

He turned to the knife in his hand, took a sip of sweet wine, and looked out the window at an arched stone bridge two hundred meters away, which seemed to be very lively, and a pair of knights on war horses and vehicles full of supplies drove over the bridge in an endless stream.

Surdak asked with some curiosity, "Why is it so lively over there?" ”

Hathaway walked up to him, followed his gaze to that direction, and explained to Surdak: "Since the beginning of the year, there have been a lot of supplies and troops going to various private planes every day, and there are also troops returning from the planes to take turns, and that bridge is one of the main roads connecting the inner courtyard gardens of Castle Bena, which is of course more lively than other places. ”

Surdak remembered that the expedition to the maca plane was in a square, and there was a portal made of dragon bones in that square, which was very shocking visually, so he asked, "When we went out to the maca plane, it seemed to be in a square, I don't remember walking across this bridge." ”

"Many planes, including the Bailin plane, are Duke Newman's private planes, so naturally they have to be built in the back garden of Newman Castle, and the maca plane is the plane coordinates that the lords of Bena Province bought back with money, so the portal will be built on Dawn Square." Hathaway looked at the bridge curiously.

"Otherwise, let's go to the inner courtyard garden and take a look at the dimensional portal over there, I haven't been to the garden there for a long time, and it seems that no one has been holding a dance party there recently." Beatrice suggested.

Hathaway frowned, and said with some hesitation: "It's too crowded over there, the road should be under military control at the moment, and it will probably be difficult to sneak in without a pass." ”

Hathaway turned to Surdak and asked, "Dark, what else do you have to do before going to the White Forest Plane?" ”

Surdak thought for a moment before saying: "I plan to take the time to go to the Quartermaster Logistics Department of Bena City in the next few days to buy a batch of standard weapons, the weapons used by the cavalry of my cavalry battalion are very miscellaneous, and the unified weapons can form a stronger combat effectiveness." ”

"Why don't we accompany you to the Quartermaster's Office?" Beatrice and Hathaway looked at each other and said almost at the same time.

"Well, I'd like to know where the Quartermaster Office is in Bednar City." Surdak patted his forehead and said.

……

On the back square of the Quartermaster Office for the Bena City Hall, there is a large courtyard outside the Quartermaster Logistics Office, which is full of all kinds of magic caravans, covering an area the size of a water court, and the people who exchange supplies here are almost crowded, and nearly twenty long queues are thrown into the courtyard zigzagically.

Looking at the long line, Surdak inevitably had some headaches.

He found himself at the back of the line at this time, and if he wanted to get to himself, he would probably have to wait until tomorrow morning.

Apparently Beatrice and Hathaway had also misestimated the bustle here, Surdak looked to the left and right sides, and said, "Otherwise, let my men line up here first, and it will probably be my turn tomorrow morning." ”

"It's even more lively than the inner garden, but we don't have to wait here, Hathaway's classmate and I are here as logistics quartermasters, and we can ask her for help." Beatrice said.

"A classmate from the Swordsman Academy?" Surdak asked.

"Yes, she is one year older than us, and she has served in the Quartermaster Logistics Department after graduation, you are waiting for me here, and I will go to her." Beatrice said.

It didn't take long for Beatrice to squeeze through the crowd with a young female swordsman, talking and laughing, and after seeing Hathaway, the two hugged each other, and the heroic female swordsman put her arm around Hathaway and Beatrice's shoulders, and said happily: "It's been a long time since we all saw each other, haven't you both been to the ball lately?" ”

Beatrice glanced at Surdak next to him and said with a smile, "There are so many familiar faces at the dance party here, it's really boring. We don't need to go to the ball right now, his name is Surdak and he's from the city of Highlandza. ”

"I've heard people talk about it before, he's so burly, is Hylanza also in our Bena Province?" The female swordsman furrowed her brows, and the three women whispered.

"Of course!" Beatrice took the female swordsman's hand and said, "Senior Sister Agnes, we are looking for you this time to exchange some military supplies at the quartermaster's office. ”

"Military merit exchange or gold coin purchase?" The female swordsman asked Surdak directly, and she looked at Surdak curiously.

"Buy." Surdak said.

The female swordsman nodded slightly, and asked again: "What materials do you need, magic pattern cloth, monster leather, all kinds of magic metal materials or what, these are easier, if you want magic herbs, I can't help this, now the management of magic herbs is very strict, I can help you get the rest." ”

"I want to buy some cavalry weapons." Surdak said.

The female swordsman looked to the left and right, and then said cheerfully, "In this case, then follow me!" ”

A group of four people made their way through the crowd, with the female swordsman at the front, and she familiarly pushed away the crowd that stood in front of her.

"The materials here can also be exchanged for military merits?" Surdak asked, following behind.

The female swordsman's eyes were a little surprised, but she still said: "Of course, but nobles rarely exchange military merits for materials. ”

Surdak had already made some plans before he came, he took out a detailed list from his bosom, handed it to the female swordsman, and asked, "This is the purchase list, do you see what you can't buy?" ”

The female swordsman glanced at the list and said casually: "These standard weapons should be available, follow me to the warehouse......"
