Surdak came to Wilkes City, and the merchant Malacombe was naturally hospitable.

Originally, the merchant Malacombe also invited Surdak to live in his house in Wilkes, but Surdak politely refused.

The merchant Malacombe's house is located in the Wilkes business district, this house is not very large, but the light white three-story building is beautifully built, this building combines many styles and elements of the southern aborigines of the White Forest Plane, and a swimming pool with a pergola is built in the courtyard.

Surrounded by marble Roman columns and the vaulted dome above the pool, it looks like three hemispheres huddled together from the outside.

The high light white walls of the courtyard are covered with colorful flags of different colors.

Surdak originally planned to go to the Magic Union, Nika awakened the magic pool, but has not officially registered as a magician, but now Surdak and Christopher are in trouble all over the city, and if you go to the Magic Union at this time, you will likely be kicked out.

Originally, Surdak was going to ask someone to take Nika to the magic union to register casually, but he didn't expect Nika to be reluctant to become a magician.

Surdak felt that it didn't matter if this matter was a few days earlier or a few days later, and since Nika didn't want to go now, he was going to talk about it in a few days.

So he accepted the invitation of the merchant Malacombe and came to his mansion as a guest, after all, the two were close partners in the White Forest Plane, and most of the supplies for the garrison in Dodan Town were transported to Bena by the Thunder Rhino Merchant Regiment.

……

The merchant Malacom, with several beautiful wives, stood at the door of the mansion, walked up with open arms, and said warmly to Surdak: "Viscount Surdak, you are welcome to my house. ”

Several maids even sent beautiful garlands to hang around the necks of Surdak and the others.

Surdak, Samira, and Nika walked into the house and saw the sparkling pool in the courtyard and the delicate white building opposite, full of arched elements.

There are also some black wooden sculptures standing in the courtyard, showing a strong indigenous style in the south of Bailin.

"Malacombe, this house is beautiful." Surdak climbed onto the outer terrace of the house, stood beside the gushing waterfall, and said to Malacombe.

With a smug look, the merchant Malacomb said to Surdak, "This house was built by my great-grandfather when he was alive, and it has been in my hands for almost a hundred years. ”

After speaking, he touched his hand on a black wooden pillar and introduced to Surdak: "These are all retrieved from the natives of the southern part of the White Forest Plane, but I think these wooden objects look very exquisite, although I can't understand them at all, but I like the vivid colors of these wooden objects. ”

"How long have you been in business in the southern part of the White Forest Plane?" Surdak looked at the colorful ornamentation on the black wood and felt that the statue could come to life at any moment......

"I've been running the Thunder Rhino Business Group over there, and it's only been the last half a year since I returned from Chatham to Wilkes City." Malacomb said.

His wives were also very attentive in preparing a variety of drinks and fine food, which were placed under the awning of the terrace one by one.

"I heard that the natives of the southern part of the White Forest Plane are very good at magical herbology?" Surdak sat down and asked Malacom.

"Hmm!" Malacombe nodded, and said, "Actually, they are a little different, although they are from the Yanisbo tribe, they serve a sacred tree in the shrine in the tribe......"

Malacombe was still very proud when he talked about this past.

"I was running a business in a place called Chatham Basin in the southern part of the White Forest Plane."

He even asked the butler to bring out a map of the southern area of the white-collar plane.

"There was a time when an adventuring party found a fist-sized piece of silver over there, so Chatham suddenly flooded in with a large number of immigrants, and I followed the caravan to Chatham to deliver all kinds of daily necessities."

He pointed to a red line in his hand and said:

"There are large jungles everywhere, and many of the natives who live there are good at herbalism, they believe in nature, and the guardian god is a sacred tree that has grown for tens of thousands of years."

"The summer before last, the Thunder Rhino Caravan happened to deliver a batch of grain to Chatham, and it was just in time for the rainy season, and the entire eastern part of the Chatham Basin turned into an ocean.

"At that time, a high priest of the indigenous tribe of Yanisbo, in order to thank me, gave me fourteen maids who had been sent to the temple to serve the sacred tree."

"It was because the sacred tree did not protect them from the flood, and these maids gave it to me, who helped them avoid the flood."

"Those maids have some foundation in herbalism in the tribe, and then they have learned some more, and I also do some magic herb business in the southern part of the Bailin plane, they can identify all kinds of elementary magic herbs, and they also know some ordinary medicinal herbs......"

"I see!" After listening to Malacombe's story, Surdak suddenly realized, and then asked him, "By the way, Malacombe, do you know the local slave traders?" ”

Malacomb nodded without thinking about it and said, "Yes, what kind of slaves do you need to buy?" ”

Surdak hurriedly asked, "Are there any dwarves in the slave market?" ”

He then added, "I found a large copper mine in Invercargill Forest, but I didn't know anything about mining it, so I thought of the dwarven slaves, for whom it should be okay to build a copper mine." ”

The merchant Malacombe sat on the sofa opposite Surdak, a maid rubbing his shoulders and a maid pinching his legs.

"That's fine, I can help you keep an eye on it first." Merchant Malacombe said.

The grasslands of the White Forest Plane are vast and full of pastures, but there are very few mines here.

So in the slave market here, dwarven slaves are actually not common.

After having lunch at Malacombe's house, Surdak rejected Malacom's plan for the evening and left with Samira and Nika.

……

I don't know who completely spread what happened in the House of Representatives in just three or two days.

When the noble lords of Wilkes City heard the news, they instantly exploded, and they began to express extreme dissatisfaction with the Imperial Codex.

I haven't had this kind of conflict before, and I don't know about these things, so it doesn't matter.

But now the nobles of the entire Wilkes City know, so the noble lords stood up to protest to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, why should our legion open up undeveloped areas, you magicians have to give priority to the territory, and if you want to choose, you can only choose the rest!

In just a few days, the contradiction between the magician nobles and the old nobles of the empire was once again exposed,

The noble lords blocked the door of the House of Representatives, demanding that the code of the province of Bednar be revised, and that additional provisions be made.

At the same time, the magicians of Wilkes City also spoke out, condemning the noble lords of Wilkes City and protesting against the military headquarters.

Surdak saw that this farce was getting worse and worse, and planned to give up......

However, when he thought of the thirty-seven contracts signed with the tribe in his hand, it was impossible to give up so easily.

On the third day after the House of Representatives' reconsideration, the Chester Archswordsman publicly announced in Wilkes that all towns in the northern defense of the Bellinian Plane under the garrison of the Luthor Legion would be denied entry to the mage.

This news was like a depth charge, exploding in the deep waters of Wilkes City, and immediately several big fish surfaced.

The entire Wilkes City was fried, and while the noble lords applauded, the president of the Magic Guild personally went to the military headquarters to discuss the matter with the Great Swordsman of Chester^
