The temple of the two goddesses in the town has been built, and the focus of conversation among the townspeople has always been around this temple recently.

This is a rare major event since the establishment of the town of Dodan, and it is destined to be recorded in the chronicles of the town.

For this reason, the town of Dodan is ready to hold a grand celebration.

However, so far, the town hall has not come up with a feasible plan, and has not announced the specific date of the celebration ceremony.

The townspeople haven't seen Mayor Surdak for at least a little over a month.

Since the beast tide subsided, in addition to the few times he has seen him on the construction site of the townhouse, it is said that he personally inspected twice during the construction of the Temple of the Two Goddesses, and the back garden of the temple was the one he decided to expand.

The townspeople of the town held two extreme views of the mayor, with those who loved him eager to talk about his exploits every day, and of course there were many who did not hide their dislike for him, almost all of whom were immigrants from the Empire, nobles, and merchants.

Lady Luna has been in a hurry lately, and Surdak, who is the mayor of the town, has been out of town lately, and many things are waiting for his signature to take effect.

Now the town of Dodan has changed almost dramatically from half a year ago.

Nothing used to happen in the town for a month, but now the town is almost overwhelmed with daily chores.

"No news yet?" Tax Officer Batra pushed open the door and asked Mrs. Luna, who was sitting in her office.

Mrs. Luna put down the quill in her hand and could only say, "Listen to the merchant who has returned from the Invercargill Forest and say that he is already on his way back." ”

The tax collector of Batra also has a lot to think about Surdak, and the taxes in the coffers have been increasing recently.

According to Surdak, only a certain amount of taxes need to be stored in the coffers, which only need to pay the salaries of all public officials in the town for six months, and a part of the reserve for emergency plans, and the rest of the money must be invested in the urban construction of Dodan Town to make the town develop in the long run.

Now there are more and more gold coins piled up in the vault, and in the days when Surdak is no longer in the town, almost no one asks him for money, and looking at the gold coins that are about to be piled up in the warehouse, the tax officer Batra can't help but be a little worried.

"The mayor is back......" A young clerk ran in from the hallway and reported to the tax collector of Batra.

"Where?" The tax collector of Batra stood up and was about to walk out, his eyes full of excitement and joy.

The clerk touched his nose and whispered with some embarrassment, "The mayor has just arrived at the barracks in a thunder rhino......"

"Go prepare the magic caravan, I'll go to the barracks to find him." The tax collector did not stop at all, and ran out of the corridor as fast as he could.

The assistant of the tax officer of Batra hurriedly followed him and ran outside together.

When they arrived at the barracks, they saw that Surdak was directing a group of people to carry some heavy goods wrapped in linen to the warehouse, and the tax collector of Batra did not care what they were carrying, and walked quickly to Surdak.

"Mayor Surdak, how long has it been since you went to the town hall......"

The tax collector of Batra complained, and then added, "There are a lot of documents in town that need your signature, and those decrees cannot be signed by Lady Luna at all......"

Surdak stopped and turned around, stared at Tax Officer Batra, and asked strangely, "But shouldn't Lady Luna personally come to me for this kind of thing, or is there an overlap between the two of you in government?" ”

"Hey, I just said it casually!" The tax officer of Batra immediately straightened his stomach and said with a serious face: "Mayor of the town, now the town's tax office can receive a lot of taxes every day, I always think that you have explained before, this money should be spent, and it is best to spend it on the urban construction of the town......"

"So what?" Surdak waved his hand to signal the Thunder Rider to leave directly after unloading.

The tax officer of Batra immediately said: "Wait for your project ......"

Surdak patted his head, put his arm around the tax officer's shoulder, and said to the tax officer in front of Thunder Rhino: "Just looking for you, I plan to build a junior warrior academy in Dodan Town, you go to someone to make a budget and see how much money you need from the town." ”

The tax officer of Batra asked with some surprise, "Are you going to build a warrior academy?" ”

Surdak nodded and said, "Junior College, it has always been a hassle for children to go to school in the town, whether they are immigrants or natives, and I plan to build a junior college in Dodan Town, which can at least teach them some basic combat skills." ”

"The address is next to the river bank opposite the Temple of the Two Goddesses......," Surdak added.

The tax collector of Batra immediately saluted Surdak in good spirits, and replied cheerfully: "I will do it at once." ”

He dropped this sentence and hurriedly left the barracks.

In fact, Surdak wanted to discuss some other things with the tax collector of Batra, but before he could finish speaking, the tax collector of Batra had already run out of sight.

Surdak stopped at the barracks for a while, listened to the captain of the city's defense brigade report on the recent defense of the northern city wall, and listened to the recent situation of the heavy infantry regiment, and then went to the material warehouse outside the barracks to inspect the bed crossbows and catapults that the merchant Malacombe had brought from the city of San Carlos.

When the storekeeper heard Surdak ask about the new batch of bed crossbows that had arrived in Dodan Town, he immediately retrieved a bunch of keys and led Surdak to another warehouse.

Open the iron lock and push open the warehouse door.

The warehouse was filled with a strong smell of engine oil, and Surdak saw that all the bed crossbows were wrapped in a thick layer of oily paper, and walked up to one of the bed crossbows, and Surdak used a dagger to cut the thick hemp rope trapped on it.

When the oilskin paper was lifted, there was a brand-new bed crossbow inside, the bowstring was not mounted on it, but there was not a single scratch on the crossbow arm, and all the places with worm gears and anti-retraction ratchets were coated with a thick layer of white grease.

The grooves of the bed crossbow arrows are also very smooth, and three magic rune plates are nailed to the body side by side, which is the most characteristic part of these magic bed crossbows.

The merchant Malacombe was not lying, the bed crossbows were all brand new.

Then he opened the oilskin paper of a catapult, and the catapult wrapped in it was also very exquisitely made, and it seemed to be really worth the money.

"Tomorrow I will choose a few units, launch them and install them casually, I want to see the design effect and accuracy......"

Surdak instructed the warehouse manager who was following him.

"Yes, Commander......"

The warehouse management hurriedly agreed.
