The three magic patterns on the table are: the giant ghost pattern soldier ant 'strength and tenacity' life pattern, the ghost pattern ant queen's spirit inspires the life pattern, and the agate beast 'conceals disguise' life pattern.

The practicability of these three life patterns is the 'Strength and Toughness' life pattern, which can enhance the basic physique of the warrior and make his combat effectiveness have a significant enhancement, but the disadvantage is that this kind of magic pattern is almost universally popular in Surdak's cavalry battalions.

Compared to the 'Strength and Toughness' Life Pattern, the latter two Life Patterns are much rarer, and they are both high-end goods.

The 'Spiritual Stimulation' Life Pattern peeled off from the head of the fourth-level Demon Beast Ghost Pattern Queen, this is a Life Pattern that can strengthen spiritual power, but this kind of Magic Pattern does not have a great effect on the improvement of the strength of the battleman.

In addition, the last 'Concealment Camouflage' Life Pattern was obtained from the agate beast's abdomen.

This pattern does not have any stat increase on the body, but it has a good camouflage effect, which is not invisibility, but allows itself to merge with its surroundings.

Surdak originally wanted to recommend the first type of pattern to Karl, but when Karl learned that even the leg wound of the Guborai horse in the cavalry camp had this kind of pattern, he immediately lost interest, and he only hesitated between the second and third patterns.

Just when Surdak thought that he would choose the 'spiritual stimulation' of the ghost pattern ant queen, after all, the ghost pattern ant queen was a fourth-level demonic beast, far higher than the agate beast.

"Then I'll pick the third one......" Karl's gaze fell on the piece of glittering leather.

Surdak didn't expect Karl to choose this Life Magic Pattern, and asked with some surprise, "Eh, do you want to be a Ranger Scout in the future?" How did you choose this? ”

Carl smiled 'hehe', quickly waved his hand and said:

"No, no...... I've all served in the military, how can I be a scout, I just think that having this ability might save my life at some point in a crisis. ”

The reason is very straightforward by Carl.

Surdak didn't know how to convince him, but said, "You can think about it again, in my opinion, 'strength and tenacity' is the most practical and can help you win in battle......

Seeing Karl's look of disgust, Surdak was eager to punch him.

Resisting this impulse, Surdak added:

"In fact, the spiritual stimulation is also very strong, if an enemy suddenly appears in front of you, his knife is already on your neck, you panic, you don't have time to react, and you don't dare to act rashly, then you can give him a 'spiritual stimulation', so that his spiritual defense line collapses at this moment, and then ...... Win the battle in one fell swoop! ”

Carl shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't like it.

Surdak pointed to the third Life Pattern and said:

"This 'stealth disguise' is more suitable for scouts who often spy on intelligence, and I'm afraid it won't be of much use to you."

"I think it's okay......" Carl insisted on his previous choice.

Surdak hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay, then choose this one!" ”

Then he implanted the agate beast's life pattern for Carl in the hotel, the process was quite simple, and Surdak had done it hundreds of times in the town of Dodan, and he was very skilled.

Karl lay bare-chested on the bed, and Surdak implanted the 'Hidden Disguise' Life Pattern on his back.

This time, I was able to easily complete the implantation almost while chatting.

When Surdak patted Carl on the shoulder so that he could stand up and try on the Demon Pattern Colonization Costume, Karl asked with a surprised expression:

"That's fine? What should I do? ”

Surdak instructed while sorting out the discarded magic pattern skin grafting: "This magic pattern has become a part of your body, you should be able to feel it if you feel it carefully, connect with it with your spirit, and then it is like your hands and feet, controlled by your brain......

Karl stood in the room bare-chested and wearing a pair of bloomers, he raised his hands to see the skin of his hands changing magnificent colors, his hands resting on the bedside post, the skin of his arms immediately turned bronzed, and even some wood textures.

"Hey...... I feel it, and it feels a little special. Karl said as he withdrew his hand.

Leaving the pillar, his hand returned to its original state, and he was like a child who wanted to explore the sugar box, his eyes were full of surprise, and he excitedly said to Surdak: "Is this the camouflage effect?" ”

In fact, Surdak only knew a little about this, so he could only nod his head blankly.

"Dark, it seems like my choice is pretty good." Karl cheered, he walked barefoot onto the terrace, sat on the deck chair on the terrace, picked up half a glass of juice on the table and took a sip.

"Duck, do you know how Marquis Bernard got hurt?" He asked Surdak in a low voice.

Surdak took out a plate of nuts from the room, placed it on the small table, shook his head, and said, "I don't know." ”

Karl whispered: "He led the Knights of Construct to participate in the battle of Tanan, I heard that he was shot in the chest with an arrow during the battle, if it weren't for his magic pattern construct, I'm afraid he would have died on the spot, and when he was transported back to Highlandha City, he had only one breath left, and he had been soaking in the nutrient solution to maintain it." Later, he insisted on sending Darcy to the position of consul of the city of Hylanza, and decided to do the transplant. ”

"So I'm ...... Through this incident, I have a new perspective on my future life. He stretched and continued. No matter how big a man is, how many troops and guards he has around him, as long as he is on the battlefield, his life is in the hands of Lady Luck. ”

Karl's eyes brightened a lot and he said to Surdak, "So...... I think it's good to be in the guard camp all the time, and I can avoid being called up, I don't want to go to the battlefield......"

"I see, I hope he can get better soon!"

Standing at the door of the terrace, he happened to be looking at Aphrodite in the next room through the glass window.

The succubus puffed out her cheeks, glared at him fiercely, and turned to leave through the window.

She looked a little angry......

……

At noon, Karl was going to pick up Lady Mariana from the trading house.

He invited Surdak out for lunch, but Surdak refused.

Surdak planned to go out into the streets with Aphrodite, after all, the succubus had come to the city of Highlandsa and had not yet left the hotel.

Carl then left the Square Garden Hotel alone.

Surdak went to the streets with Aphrodite, which made the succubus's face turn from cloudy to clear, and there was a little more gentle smile on his face.

But just as the two were about to go out, there was a knock at the door, and Surdak walked over and opened the door, and found that it was the proprietress Madame Cohen standing in the doorway, followed by a young magician, Victor, the assistant of the Fdinand scholars, with a humble smile on his face, took off the magic hat on his head, and nodded very politely to Surdak.

"Good afternoon, Baron Surdak!" Victor greeted with a smile.

Surdak was a little surprised and said, "Victor, why are you?" How do you know I live here? ”

"Lance said you should sit here because the hostess of the inn is beautiful...... "Victor the Magician said jokingly.

Mrs. Cohen heard him say this, and left with a smile on her face.

Surdak invited Victor into the room, and the young magician was not polite, just next to the sofa, placed heavy linen pockets in the room, and said, "Give you this ......"

Seeing that there were five more heavy cloth bags in the room, Surdak asked curiously, "Victor, what are these?" ”

Victor patted the linen bag with his hand and said, "These are all active agents, the pool where the copper ore is soaked must be metal, you pour the mineral powder into it, and then fill half of the water, pour the active agent into it while stirring, and then let it stand for a long time......"

He told Surdak the details, then took out a piece of parchment from his bosom and unfolded it on the table, which actually depicted the process of refining copper ore.

Victor sat across from Surdak and explained to him, "As long as you follow the drawings I made, you can solve the initial ore refining and purification, but if you want to make copper ingots, you need a furnace." ”

Then he added: "It takes about three months for the refining furnace to be ready. ”

Surdak didn't expect this young magic assistant to finish the process drawings overnight, and hurriedly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Victor." ”

……

Before returning to the village of Wall, Surdak followed the list made by Victor and made another purchase in the magic market, and on the morning of the third day, he rode out of the city of Highlandsa with Aphrodite.

Luke and the ten wagons returned to the village of Wall after the Ironwood deal was completed.

As Surdak and Aphrodite passed through the south gate of the city, they saw Darcy from afar. Dressed in demonic leather armor, Christie climbed the city wall surrounded by a group of guards, and although she was a little far away, she could still see the tiredness on Darcy's face.

But the aura is very sufficient.

Surdak withdrew his gaze and rode away with one hand on the reins.

……

Surdak wanted to transport the kobold slaves from the realm to the White Forest Plane, and these kobold slaves were the best miners.

But now with the support of the Alchemist Scholar Ferdinand of the Magical Guild, it doesn't matter if these kobold slaves go to the White Forest Plane or not, he just needs to hire a large number of laborers to dig up the copper ore in the open pew.

For the natives who live in Invercargill Forest, digging for stones should not be too difficult.

Today, the village of Wall is the largest village in the Badlands, or it is not an exaggeration to call it a town, because it has reached the standard of a town in terms of size and population.

This time, Surdak came to the Paglos Pass and looked out over the village of Wall in the col, where the newly built terraced houses surrounded the village by large trees and the market was bustling.

Surdak rode into the village in a very low-key manner.

Some of the members of the adventuring group sat under the dead trees at the entrance of the village, giggling and chatting.

Far away at the foot of the hill, you can see the villa built on the edge of the fifth-level cistern, which is Surdak's home.

Seeing the familiar door, the tiredness in my heart was swept away.

Walking into the courtyard, little Peter was still practicing his swordsmanship against the wall, sweating profusely, his soft hair sticking to his forehead wet, and his face was red from the vicious sun.

Old Sheila lay on a wicker chair in the courtyard basking in the sun, just slightly opening her eyelids and taking a casual look.

Surdak stood at the gate of the courtyard, greeted old Sheila respectfully, and then stood beside little Peter, correcting him for the correct posture of the chopping motion.

Seeing Surdak, little Peter was very excited, and showed Surdak the results of his recent exercises one by one, and several basic movements were all in place.

These basic movements are not just a matter of skill, but require a certain amount of memory in the subconscious of the fighters, and even Surdak will find time to practice every morning, but not as diligent as before.

Little Peter stood in front of the wooden man again, and Surdak led the horse into the stable again, and then came to the door of the house.

Just as Surdak was about to enter the house, he heard old Sheila shouting behind him, "Dark......"

Surdak stopped, turned his head and asked respectfully:

"Is there anything you can do?"

Old Sheila got up from the wicker chair, lifted her eyelids, but her gaze was a little cold, and she said slowly to Surdak:

"It's about Rita, she's old enough to get married, and now there's a nice guy in the village who is courting her."

"Oh!" Surdak then remembered that according to the legal system of the Grimm Empire, as long as they attended the sixteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, young people could get married.

In this way, Rita is a big girl.

Surdak thought for a moment and said, "If two people like each other, I'll prepare a dowry." ”

Hearing Surdak say this, the expression on Old Sheila's face softened slightly, and then she said, "Well, he is the captain of the security squadron, Knight Danila. ”

Unexpectedly, it was the captain of the Badlands Security Squadron, and Surdak had some impressions of him.

"Do you need me to meet with him, or get to know him from the side?" Surdak asked Sheila Sr.

Old Sheila shook her head and paused before saying, "I know that you are on a garrison mission in other planes, and it is not easy to return to Wall Village in normal times, but Rita's wedding, if you can come back, try to come back once." ”

It turned out that he wanted to let himself participate in Rita's wedding, Surdak nodded and said:

"Of course, as long as you can write to me on a certain date, I will come back as scheduled......"

Old Sheila lay back on the wicker chair, staring at the sky with a somewhat vacant gaze, but said, "Thank you, Duck! ”

Surdak smiled at Old Sheila.

But when he turned around, he sighed softly.

I could see and feel that she was missing her son at that moment......
