There was a garrison commander with a lot of character in the town, and he didn't even give face to Mayor Marco, and he was furious at the town square.

What happened in the square in the morning soon reached the ears of the townspeople.

It's not a big town, and word spreads quickly.

The garrison officer and the mayor of the town, Marco, were at odds, and for most of the townspeople, there was no direct interest.

Most of the town's residents don't care, and everyone hopes to have more wonderful episodes in the morning to become a topic of conversation after dinner.

Surdak walked back to the garrison camp and saw Samira leading a group of recruits on the bow and arrow training ground under the north wall, teaching them some techniques for using alloy bows, this time teaching them the skills of flat shooting at close range within fifty yards.

A group of recruits gathered around her to watch her pull her bow sideways, and each time the arrow hit the bull's-eye, it drew cheers from the recruits.

However, it was not until Samira demanded that all recruits master this basic archery technique within a week, or else some corporal punishment would be inflicted, that there was a wail from the recruits.

Surdak didn't bother with Samira's archery teaching, and walked straight back to the small building.

At this time, Andrew and Gulit had already gathered a group of veterans of the cavalry battalion, and everyone rode away from the barracks and went straight to the north wall of the town, which should be to patrol the border.

Of course, this is also very much in line with the idea of the ogre Gulitham.

He came to Dodan Town with the cavalry battalion, in addition to the marching rations on the way, there was only canned meat and wild vegetable soup for lunch, and the last bit of oil and water in his stomach was also consumed by this light food every day, what he needed most now was to eat meat, but at present, in the military camp, there was a temporary lack of meat and eggs, so the ogre could only fight the idea of those small beasts in the woods outside the city to improve the food.

Andrew ran to invite him out of the city with him, and Gulit didn't want to wait for a moment, so he joined Andrew and took a team of veterans drawn from various squadrons, and marched out of the northern city wall and along the Dodan Gorge to the north.

Surdak walked back to the small building, where Selena was having lunch with Signa and Nika, with a plate of baked wheat cakes and stewed vegetables on the table, and the two girls were eating with their hands in their hands.

Nika saw Surdak walk into the dining room, looked at the table and frowned, and stood up from the table with some restraint.

Selena looked at Surdak in surprise, put down the wheat cake in her hand, and asked:

"Why are you back?"

Surdak pressed a nervous Nika into his seat, pulled open the chair and sat down.

Signa stood up playfully and poured Surdak a glass of water.

"It's over there, of course I'm going to have to come back for lunch." Surdak said as he picked up a crunchy piece of baked wheat cake from the basket, broke off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

Selena hurriedly picked up an empty plate, scooped out some stewed vegetables from the clay pot in the middle of the table, and placed them in front of Surdak, and then asked, "That Marco town elder didn't invite you to a working meal?" ”

Surdak looked at the light dishes on the table and said, "I guess he is not in the mood to eat now, why do you eat these at noon?" ”

Selena hurriedly stood up, rolled up her sleeves and said to Surdak: "I thought you wouldn't come back to eat, omelette or fried meat, you want to eat something, it's convenient for the stove here." ”

Surdak shook his head and said: "That's all, when Xigena and Nika are both growing up, they usually need to pay attention to balanced nutrition, and there must be meat and eggs at every meal, I see that there are shops specializing in cheese in the town, and I will buy some in the afternoon when I have time." ”

"Usually in Wall Village, I haven't seen you have such high requirements." Selena sat down and muttered quietly.

Surdak said helplessly: "After all, the conditions of Vol Village are limited, and since there is no shortage of these materials here in Dodan Town, there is no need for us to save on food." ”

"Got it." Selena looked at Surdak with a gentle look on her face and agreed.

Surdak broke up the wheat cakes, soaked them in the soup of the stewed vegetables, and said as he ate, "Eat like this at noon, and we will meet the tailor shop owner later." ”

Selena heard Surdak say this, and she didn't insist on going to the kitchen to fry meat again.

Surdak looked up at Nika at the end of the table and said:

"Nika, when the house in the town is rented, you will live in the town with Selena and Signa, are you literate?"

Nika quickly put down the wheat cake in her hand and shook her head.

Surdak motioned for Nika to continue eating, and said, "Selena, you can teach Nika Greene Chinese first." ”

After a while, Surdak asked, "Nika, how old are you?" ”

"10 years old." Nika struggled to swallow the food in her mouth and said.

Surdak lowered his head and pondered, nodded and said:

"Oh, there are still two years of preparation time, and you can participate in the magic awakening ceremony, I plan that you will learn the ** national script first, and I will find a magic teacher for you and Xigna later, so that you can receive some magic enlightenment, I think you have some talent in magic."

Nika didn't expect that she was taken to Dodan Town, and in addition to doing miscellaneous labor, she also had to learn ** Chinese.

"I'll study hard, Lord Baron." Nika said.

Surdak said to her again:

"Now your task is to calm down and learn some useful knowledge, and then you can help me in the future, and after a while, I will ask someone to bring your mother from Kiran Town, and you have to work hard to make you and your mother live a good life."

Nika looked up, looked at Surdak in amazement, and promised:

"I'll try, Lord Baron."

She always thought that she had been brought here, a maid to be a handyman.

Now it seems that there is a little deviation from the life she wants, and the main task is to study, if she is asked to do some chores, she is quite sure to do a good job, but if she is allowed to study...... The Aboriginal children of Kieran never had a chance to enter the academy, and she couldn't even write her own name.

Nika lowered her head and looked at the plate in front of her, worry written all over her face.

After lunch, Surdak walked into town with Selena, Signa, and Nika.

……

Standing at the door of the tailor's shop, Surdak and his party were a little surprised that there was such an exquisite tailor shop in Dodan Town, watching the small tailor's shop wipe the windows clean, and the hangers inside were full of ready-to-wear clothes of various styles.

He pushed the door and walked into the store, and the shopkeeper standing at the door immediately greeted them and asked them what they needed, tailor-made, or ready-to-wear.

Selena and Signa rarely visited this kind of tailoring shop, and their eyes were immediately drawn to the exquisite clothes in the store, Selena reached out and touched the intricately patterned fabric on the counter, but said nothing.

"You and Xigna don't have any beautiful dresses, I don't usually have much time, take this opportunity, you can pick a few more if you like." Surdak said to Selena.

Selena didn't say anything, standing in front of the rows of hangers, carefully looking at the styles of clothes in the store.

The tailor's shop was not very big, and it was quick to look at all the dresses, pick a few on the hanger, and ask Surdak which one was beautiful.

"I don't like to do multiple-choice questions, of course I buy them all!"

Surdak said to Selena.

He turned to the guy in the store and asked, "If the size is not suitable, you can change the size here!" ”

"Of course, if you have any additional needs for these styles of dresses, you can add them casually......" said the guy in the store quickly.

The town of Dodan is not big, and it is rare for Surdak to buy a few sets of clothes as soon as he buys, and although it is a strange face, the shop guys are extremely welcoming.

This kind of large order naturally requires the owner of the store to come forward, and you can also contact the customers for some feelings.

Another man who was guarding the shop immediately called the tailor shopkeeper, Epson, over.

When the owner of the tailor shop, Epson, saw Surdak and his party, and recognized him at a glance as the tenant he had made an appointment with last night, and hurriedly walked up to Surdak and said enthusiastically: "I have been waiting for you in the store for a long time, and I thought you were late, so I was here to pick out clothes." ”

"You own this shop?" Surdak asked the tailor shop owner.

The owner of the tailor shop put on the appearance of a successful person, and said proudly: "Yes, I have been driving for many years, and when I was young, I heard that it was easier to make a living on this side of the plane, and the immigration plane could be exempted from military service, so I came to the Bailin plane with a pair of scissors and a tape measure, and I lived here for more than ten years, became a family here, and saved a shop." ”

Surdak handed over the clothes to the shopkeepers, and the guys behind the counter began to wrap the dresses one by one.

The owner of the tailor shop said to Selena, "Madam, if you think there is anything wrong with these dresses, you can always go to the shop and change the size, and there are some giveaways in our shop......

Then he whispered a few words to the young female clerk, and the female clerk took Selena, Signa, and Nika into the back of the store.

After waiting for a while, Selena walked out with Signa and Nika, Nika was holding a cloth bag in her hand, seeing a blush on Selena's face, Surdak guessed that these gifts were probably some underwear or something, but I didn't expect the tailor shop owner to be quite good at business.

Surdak paid the money briskly, and compared it, the price here was a little more expensive than that of the city of Highlandza, probably higher than the cost of fabric, after all, it was located in the most remote part of the White Forest Plane.

"If you come back in the future, if you don't need a giveaway, you can get a discount...... "The tailor shop owner said to Selena.

Although the house has not been rented out, it has taken over such a business, and the owner of the tailor shop is also in a very good mood, and he does not forget to woo Selena when he goes out.

……

The tailor shop owner's house is a little far away from the shops on this side of the street, but according to his introduction, this small single-family building was built on the edge of the wealthy area, and the surrounding people lived here were immigrants from the Grimm Empire, and the tailor shop owner also considered that this small single-family building was a little far away from the tailor shop.

With some savings, he bought another small courtyard behind the tailor's shop and just renovated a small building.

Now that their whole family lives there, the small building here is unused.

The tailor shop was introduced as we walked, and we came to the side of the small building.

Surdak realized that, as the tailor shop owner had said, the living quarters here were noticeably cleaner than the rest of the town, with small buildings neatly arranged and each with a small courtyard, the front of which was not too large.

The group walked into the small building, which looked a little old from the outside, but the interior decoration was very warm, the living room, kitchen, bathroom and upstairs clean attic, Selena liked this house very much, the only dissatisfaction was that the backyard was full of clutter, she wanted to build a swing under the grape trellis, and it was a little far from the garrison camp.

Surdak asks the tailor shop owner for rent.

The owner of the tailor shop said that thirty-five silver coins a month could be paid for one gold coin if he could live for three months, but he could not damage the furniture in the building.

The neighbor next to him heard someone talking in the courtyard here, and came out of the house curiously, climbed the ladder, peeked into the courtyard here through the thick bushes, and greeted the tailor shop owner warmly: "Epson, you haven't been back for a while, and you thought you were going to sell the house here." ”

"Well, I haven't met a suitable buyer yet, these are my tenants, they are businessmen from Bena City, and they want to do some business in Dodan Town, maybe you can deal with them in the future." Epson, the owner of the tailor shop, told his neighbors.

The neighbor looked curiously at Surdak, just as Surdak looked up.

When he saw Surdak's face clearly, he was almost so frightened that he planted himself from the ladder into his yard, and finally stabilized his body before greeting Surdak with an embarrassed face.

He couldn't understand why the new commander of the garrison had to hide his identity in front of the tailor shop owner Epson, perhaps he didn't want to make the matter of living here public.

Surdak knew from the look on his neighbor's face that he recognized him, and that he had no point to the tailor shopkeeper, probably because he was worried.

"That's it......"

As he spoke, Surdak took out four gold coins from his money bag and handed them to Epson, the owner of the tailor's shop, and said, "Let's stay for a while, but you have to dispose of the pile of clutter in the backyard before tonight, I don't want to see the garbage when we move here tomorrow." ”

The owner of the tailor shop, Epson, clenched the heavy gold coin in his hand, his eyebrows stretched out with a smile, and he said in a continuous voice: "I'll find someone to move out immediately!" ”

"You can take advantage of the afternoon to pack up the things in the house, except for the basic bed and wardrobe curtains, and we'll be moving in tomorrow." After Surdak finished speaking, he took Selena and the others out of the courtyard.

The neighbor next door craned his neck, saw that Surdak and his party had walked away, and asked the tailor shop owner with an extremely exaggerated expression on his face: "Epson, you don't even know who he is, so you rent the house to him, right?" ”
