The merchant Malacombe has not been happy in the past two days.

When he was in Wilkes, he received a call from the military department.

Ordered that all the reformed Thunderrhinos in his hands should be incorporated into the Wilkes Cavalry Regiment, so he hurried to Dodan Town now to stop Surdak from continuing to transform his Thunder Rhino.

If he really incorporated all the reformed Thunder Rhinos into the local army to serve, wouldn't he have to drink the northwest wind in the future......

Before the Supreme Commander summoned him, Malacombe rode his horse to the town of Dodan and halted the renovation of the Thunder Rhino.

Surdak didn't expect this either, thinking that the military department's policy towards civilians and businessmen was really simple and rude, a single conscription order could collect all the reformed Thunder Rhinos for public use, and even if it was sued to the Wilkes House of Representatives, it would not win, and the Bailin plane was in the period of the beast tide, and all places were under military control.

Wilkes even imposed a curfew during this time, mainly to make way for the convoys of supplies that were being transported out of the portal.

At present, Surdak has completed the transformation of all sixteen thunder rhinos, and the preparations for the transformation of the other seven thunder rhinos have been completed, just waiting for the merchant Malacombe to drive the thunder rhino over, and he will start to do it.

Now it's clear that the plan is going to be interrupted.

Surdak was a little distressed, and said that he would use the transformation fee of twenty thunder rhinos to compensate for Samira's epic 'Heavenly Strike' sharp bow.

After the merchant Malacombe left the building, Surdak summoned Andrew, Samira, and Selena, and they all gathered to discuss what to do with the matter.

"Then give him a magic crystal...... "Samira hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Surdak and said.

She continued: "The remaining cost is converted into about 350 magic crystals, and the conversion of gold coins is almost 2,500, in this way, 250,000 merits are enough to repay the rest of the money, and I am about to accumulate 200,000 merits now, as long as I go out a few times, it should be almost enough." ”

"Samira, you bow...... So expensive! Andrew asked, widening his eyes and opening his mouth.

Samira gave Andrew a 'what do you think' look at him and didn't speak.

"I can still take out this magic crystal......" Surdak put down the quill in his hand, leaned back on the soft leather sofa, and said to a few people:

"I want to...... If you want the transformation fee of these sixteen thunder rhinos, I will also use magic crystals to pay him in full, not only that, but I also want to buy these sixteen thunder rhinos together......"

Andrew and Samira glanced at each other, and then realized how much wealth the ghost-patterned red ants they had hunted these days had brought to Surdak.

Each ghost pattern ant has a magic core, and on average, one magic crystal can be opened out of two magic cores, and now these magic cores have no time to unravel, and they are all packed into wooden boxes and piled up in the treasure chamber of the lava mine.

While everyone was discussing this matter, it happened that the Great Swordsman of Chester had finished his inspection from other border towns and returned to the military camp in Dodan Town.

After all, it was approaching the date of Hathaway and Beatrice's return.

After hearing the words of Surdak and the others, they immediately understood what everyone was discussing.

The Great Swordsman of Chester patted his forehead and said that I will report this matter......

Then I said what could be done here.

In fact, this matter is for the merchants...... It's not a good thing, the merchant regiments can buy the spoils of war, and the supplies they bring over will also be sold to the various legions, and most importantly, there is no need to worry about the source of goods.

In addition, in the case of sufficient transportation capacity, it can also carry private goods, and the transportation route is also specially protected by the army.

This kind of business is simply not too comfortable.

Surdak suddenly realized that the merchant group with the army could still operate like this, and in the past, this kind of merchant group had some relationship with the army commander before it could join in, and it was rarely touched by outsiders.

When in the Warsaw plane, it was very common to accompany the army and merchants.

The merchant group designated by the military department can trade in a large range, mainly because the huge capacity of the Thunder Rhino merchant group is there, and it has stronger competitiveness than any other business group......

The Legion of Noble Lords of the Grimm Empire participates in various plane wars, and most of them are self-financing.

The tasks promulgated by the military department are often mixed with many benefits, and who wants to do it without benefits...... And war is inherently profitable.

The only difference is probably the risk.

Just like the Luther Legion went to the White Forest Plane to eat meat this time, it was supposed to make a lot of money, but no one thought that something would happen in the town of Plantos.

The 13th Cavalry Regiment and the 19th Heavy Infantry Regiment were all wiped out, and it was estimated that the noble lord's family behind them would have to pay a large amount of compensation.

But the town of Dodan and the other border towns were defended, and although the garrisons of the other towns were not as rich as Surdak's, they were all very good.

If the Luther Legion's accompanying merchant group is in the White Forest Plane, these hunted magical beast materials can be handed over to the accompanying military merchant group for sale, and the profits in it will of course be very sufficient, I really don't know why the merchant Malacomb is distressed about this......

……

After Hathaway set up the town's tax office, she began to formulate the town's tax system, and she was busy until late every day.

Surdak, Hathaway, and Beatrice often only have time to have dinner together, and although they are engaged, they have never broken through the last layer of relationship, mainly because the Luthor family does not allow it, and a housekeeper is sent to take care of Miss Hathaway's daily life.

It is estimated that they should have known about Selena's existence, but they never asked.

After all, Dodan Town is only so big, and Selena has to come to the barracks every day to check everyone's merits.

In this regard, Surdak still felt a little guilty in his heart, so he took advantage of their time in Dodan Town to accompany the two of them as much as possible.

……

At the same time, Surdak finally encountered a problem when learning the language of runes.

Even with the image of the magic crystal of the red dragon Johannes, he still couldn't learn the language of the runes, which had been bothering him for more than a week.

He could feel the powerful power contained in the runes, and he could clearly feel that these runes were arranged together, resonating with each other to inspire stronger power, and that kind of power was the existence he needed to look up to.

He could draw every rune, but putting them together was a big problem for him.

No matter how much I tried, I couldn't succeed......

He saw that Master Johannes explained in detail, and every little detail was explained in great detail, but unfortunately he couldn't draw it anyway.

And the rune language pattern is also very complicated.

‘Amn-Ral-Msl-Ist-Ohm’

There is no problem with drawing each rune individually, but when he connects the five runes together, he completely controls the direction of the magic pattern, and the entire magic pattern is seriously distorted, as if some of the magic lines are not drawn in the same dimension, and it is possible that some of the magic lines have passed through the subdimensional space and connected back from a certain node.

According to Lord Johannes's interpretation of this rune language, this set of runes is completely capable of traveling through time and space.

Surdak had been drawing for more than a week, and he had not even been able to fully grasp the composition of the magic line in the recent book.

Moreover, his current mental power could not complete such a magic pattern in one go.

The red dragon Isser, however, was very interested in the runic language.

Surdak sat on the platform of the treasure chamber, and opposite him was the huge dragon head of the red dragon Isser, and the two of them stared at each other with big eyes.

"What to do? I can't draw it at all......" Surdak said to Isser, somewhat frustrated.

"It may also be that the level of power you have mastered is too weak, and I have known you for so long...... The language of runes has also been learned so much...... How do you feel like you don't have a breakthrough? Is it really that difficult to step into the second turn? "The red dragon Iser struck Surdak mercilessly in the imperial Chinese.

"It's as simple as drinking water and eating for your dragon clan, you rely on the power of the bloodline, what about us!" Surdak patted his chest and retorted to Isser, "We...... It's a matter of redoubling the effort and luck. ”

Surdak and Isser's relationship is already familiar, so familiar that they can denigrate each other in words without getting angry.

"So...... When will you make the cut? Isser asked Surdak.

Surdak thought about it for a while, and could only bite the bullet and say: "Give me some more time, it should be fine, this kind of urgency is useless......"

Isser raised her head and shook her ways hard, stirring up a wave of anger.

This smoothed the scales around its head and neck, and it tentatively asked, "Otherwise, I'll go find a few more monsters and come back, I really want to eat something every time I move up the ranks."

"Forget it...... I didn't even have time to deal with that dragon eagle last time. Besides, hunting in the Istanbul plane doesn't seem to be so safe. Surdak walked over to Isser's neck and said.

Each of Isser's scales is larger than a palm, and they are distributed around the neck, which is very fine.

"Alright, I'm leaving...... See you tomorrow. ”

Surdak stayed in the treasure chamber for a while, and then said goodbye to the red dragon Isser.

He also had to hurry up to discuss the matter of the Thunderrhino with the merchant Malacom, and Surdak was ready to buy sixteen Thunderrhinos with all his own capital, but Malacomb did not agree.

Malacombe was still considering whether to take the chance......
