Walking down the long street of Dodan Town, Thea looked out at the snow-covered roofs in the distance, like a thick snow-white quilt.

The shops on the street in the town are not very neatly built, but in just half a year, the street of the town that was originally a little depressed has become very lively, Thea is carrying a paper bag with a bag of dried kelp in her hand, she puts the paper bag in front of her, and gently sniffs the salty smell on it, which is the smell of the sea.

Nika introduces Thea to this border town, and meets many townspeople along the way, and when they see Nika and Sighna, they will take the initiative to greet them.

The two girls are the saints of the Temple of Dawn and the Temple of Night, respectively, in the Temple of the Two Goddesses, and they have a special status in the town, and people know them wherever they go.

The town of Dodan is built on the south side of the canyon, and standing in the town, you can see the towering cliffs on both sides hanging overhead, and there is a strong sense of oppression.

"The owner is the mayor of this town, he happened to go to Wilkes City to solve the problem of territorial development rights at that time, you just happened to meet him at that time, it's really lucky!" Nika said to Thea, and then sighed, "You've been gone for so long, is it really okay?" ”

Thea knocked on her stiff hands. leg, shook his head and said: "It's okay, it's a little sore, but it's okay, it turns out that Viscount Surdak is the mayor of this town......"

She felt her heart pound a few times when she thought of hiding under the bridge over the river in Wilkes, and Surdak riding away without paying attention.

Nika thought for a moment, and as she passed by the tailor's shop, she pulled Thea inside.

Epson, the owner of the tailor shop, had just met Mayor Surdak in the town hall, and when he saw Signa and Nika walking in from outside, he hurriedly greeted him enthusiastically.

When they first arrived in Dodan, Nika and Signa rented a house in the house of Epson, the owner of the tailor shop, who they knew about the calculating tailor.

"Good afternoon, Miss Signa, Nika, what can you do?"

The owner of the tailor shop beckoned the clerk to come inside and bring out a few cups of milk tea.

"Well, we'd like to buy Miss Thea a thick dress that fits, she's from Wilkes City, and she doesn't have anything to wear for winter." Nika said in a calm tone

The owner of the tailor shop hurriedly took the three girls to the second floor, and said as he went: "Three beautiful young ladies, please go this way, upstairs there are finished dresses, from the petticoat and corset on the inside, to the thick woolen skirt on the outside, gloves, hats, I have everything here." ”

Walking up to the second floor, sure enough, the walls of this floor were covered with all kinds of finished clothes, which the tailor shop owner had arranged very neatly.

The costumes inside were very exquisite, and Signa liked the princess dress hanging in the corner, and stared at the lace puffy dress for a long time, but finally looked away, and accompanied Thea, looking for clothes that suited her body size.

I chose almost a whole set from the inside out.

Thea's figure is very shapely, and it is very easy to choose the right size for women's clothing.

However, Nika thought that he would probably have to pay for it himself, and that the silver coins he had saved up in his pocket would probably not belong to him again, so he picked among these dresses and found the most cost-effective as much as possible, so as to save as much as possible.

"Your vision is indeed good...... "The owner of the tailor shop complimented him.

Nika pointed to the outfit on Miss Mermaid Thea and asked, "And how much do these clothes cost?" ”

"You can ...... whatever you want" The tailor shop owner had no intention of collecting the money, and was worried that it would be too obvious for the three girls to turn away, so he changed his words and said, "...... Oh, and the tailor shop is doing a discount sale, and these items add up to a total of five silver coins and thirty-nine copper plates. ”

"Oh, it's so cheap!" Nika said with some surprise.

She remembered that the dress on her had cost four silver coins, and Thea had bought a complete set of ...... including a petticoat corseted

"Our store is on sale, and it's a discounted price." The tailor shop owner said seriously.

Nika took out her purse and took out some copper and silver coins from it and paid them to the tailor shopkeeper, who was not so stupid, and then whispered to the tailor shopkeeper, "Thank you, Epson boss." ”

Epson bent down slightly, and said enthusiastically to the three girls:

"It's the greatest honor for me to have you come to buy clothes from me!"

Before the three girls left, they shoved three large red apples into Nika's pocket and let them eat them on the way.

Just after the three girls left the tailor shop, a customer standing next to him asked curiously, "Boss, aren't you doing a discount here?" Why don't you give me a cheaper price? ”

The owner of the tailor shop said with a straight face: "Sorry, the promotional discount event has just ended. ”

The customer exclaimed, "You're too short for this event." ”

The boss of Epson walked downstairs without looking back, motioned to the clerk next to him to receive the customer, and said: "This breeches fifteen silver coins are already the cheapest on the whole street, if you think you still need to consider it, you can go to other stores to choose ......"

The customer heard what the boss of Epson said, and hurriedly said, "That's it!" Are there really no promotional discounts anymore? ”

The clerk smiled and said to him, "No more, guest." ”

……

There are similar bazaars in the cities of the Gana Sea tribe.

Although Thea was a mermaid of Cana, the tailor shop owner was so obvious that she could see at a glance that it was the tailor shop owner who was currying favor with them.

She knew that the tailor shop owner didn't have to please herself, she was definitely trying to please Signa and Nika.

Viscount Surdak is the mayor of this town, and he seems to be very respected! Nika thought to herself.

Signa and Nika took Thea to the barracks station, and the guard at the gate of the station saw Signa and said familiarly, "Signa, are you here to find Lady Selena?" She went to the treasury of the city guard brigade to count the supplies......"

Signa waved her hand politely and said in a sweet voice, "I'll wait for her inside!" ”

The guards ignored them and allowed the three girls into the barracks.

"Viscount Surdak is the commander of this garrison." Nika whispered to Thea.

Inside the barracks, 1,500 infantry were practicing in formation on the playground.

The snow in the playground cleared all around, and the infantry looked majestic in their standard armor.

Signa walked to the front of a small building, pushed open the door and walked in, saying as she went: "Every time Dack brings back a monster, he will put it in the kitchen to peel it, and I will go to see if there is any leather left in the kitchen......"

She walked through the hallway and directly to the kitchen of the small building.

She rarely goes to that kitchen, mainly because the walls of the kitchen are covered in blood, which looks a little scary.

As she passed the study, she habitually glanced inside, and saw Surdak signing at his desk.

In the past two months, he led a team on an expedition to the north, and there was a backlog of documents that needed to be signed on the side of the military camp.

"Duck, why are you here?" Signa was startled.

Surdak raised the quill pen in his hand and said, "I'm about to review these backlogged documents. ”

Seeing Nika and Thea following behind Signa, he asked, "Have you had lunch?" Do you want me to prepare something for you? ”

Signa thought it would be easier to make things easier, so she squeezed in through the crack in the door and said, "Dark, can you help me with something?" ”

Surdak sat up straight, put the quill in his hand in the inkwell, and asked seriously, "What do you need me to do for you?" ”

Signa whispered, "I need some magic parchment or something, the materials for making the magic scroll." ”

"You want to learn how to make magic scrolls?" Surdak asked in surprise.

Signa nodded and said, "Nika and Thea and I want to try it......"

"That's all?" Surdak asked.

Xigna nodded hurriedly: "Hmm! ”

Surdak untied the money bag from his waist, and without looking at how much money was in it, he threw it directly to Nika, who felt heavy inside when he caught it.

"Nika, go to the grocery store in town and buy some magic parchment and a magic pen and ink, and I'm sure the owner of the grocery store will tell you what kind of ink is better for you." Surdak said.

Nika opened the purse, and the yellow gold coins inside made Nika a little dazzling......

"Yes, master." Nika said briskly.

Surdak's eyes fell on Thea, the mermaid of Cana, who was standing at the door, and asked, "You are Miss Thea, right?" ”

"Good afternoon, Lord Surdak......" Thea hurriedly bowed and said hello.

Surdak nodded and said, "It turns out that you can transform into a human, and I hope you can have a good time in Dodan Town." ”

When the three girls left the building, Surdak said to Signa:

"Signa, don't play too late outside."

……

When passing through the empty field outside the barracks station, I happened to see a row of armed thunder rhinos with their heads bowed and gnawing on beans, and a whole sack of beans was gently sucked by the big mouth of the thunder rhinoceros, and the wet big tongue was gently rolled inside, and a bag of beans was eaten into the stomach.

Seeing the armed thunder rhinoceros, Thea couldn't help but think, "It turns out that there are such huge war beasts on land......"

This reminded her of the Orca Riders of the Sea Clan, and probably these armed Thunder Rhinos were the Whale Riders of the Human Empire.

"These armed Thunder Rhinos are also an army of Viscount Surdak......" Nika explained from the side.

Signa and Nika take Thea to the magical grocery store in town, where Thea is a little distracted and doesn't even notice the shops lining the market.

She felt that she should seek the help of Lord Surdak, perhaps begging him to bring her back to the sea.

But Thea also knows that if it is easy to do...... That doesn't matter.

But if this matter will be troublesome, the Lord of Surdak will not be able to help himself for nothing, and perhaps it can be exchanged for an equivalent price......

Thinking of this, a water balloon appeared in Thea's palm, and the capital she had now should be the water magic she was familiar with, and she decided to have a good talk with Viscount Surdak in the evening.

……

Of course, Surdak didn't know that the Cana mermaid had the idea of working for herself at this time.

Selena had already put the report of the consumption of logistics materials on his desk, and he almost threw all the belongings earned by the beast tide into this northern expedition, and the Thunder Rhino transported back a large number of demonic beast materials, as well as more than a dozen boxes of primary magic herbs and dozens of boxes of magic cores, which seemed to have been quite fruitful.

In fact Surdak did not earn anything,

Ordnance damage and merit exchange, pension will be three huge expenditures, the biggest loss is ordnance damage, each bed crossbow is almost comparable to a set of magic pattern construction, this time the purchase of forty bed crossbows, can be brought back from the battlefield with all beards and tails only eleven, in addition to seven catapults, the rest can only disassemble some parts back.

The only thing I earned was more than 300 Life Patterns.

But these magic patterns are not for sale, although the value is huge, Surdak is not ready to sell, these magic patterns have to expand his cavalry battalion.

After more than two months of excavation, almost all the ironwood that had been buried in the humus soil for many years has been dug up.

Except for a part of the main trunk Surdak who was ready to stay, the rest were transported back to the city of Hylanza by land, and this part of the income was also over.

Of course, there is also an iron ore mine in the territory that has not been developed for the time being.

The mine is located in the eastern part of Invercargill Forest, near the Three Rivers Plain.

He was going to slow down for a while, and after the army had been recuperating for a while, he wanted to explore the Anya Swamp before the ground thawed, and if he could, push the security line of the Anya Swamp two hundred kilometers to the west.

Wait until spring, once the spring flowers bloom and everything recovers, it may not be easy to enter the Anya swamp.

A large number of demonic beasts will gather in the Anya Swamp, and after the beast tide subsides, these demonic beasts will also return to the Invercargill Demonic Beast Forest one after another, and Surdak also wants to build a barracks there, at least not to let those demonic beasts enter the Invercargill Forest casually.

Looking at the map on the wall, the area around Anya Marsh was still blank.

Surdak marched again, and it was also necessary to restock a batch of war supplies.

Selena was now counting the loot at the warehouse, and a merchant group had already approached her to negotiate the cost of transporting the supplies back to Bednar City, many of whom wanted to be able to buy the hard armor.

However, Surdak had an agreement with the Gophilo family that the leather business should take care of the Gophilo family's leather merchant as much as possible, so the hard armor leather should also be shipped back to the city of Bena.

……

Surdak stepped through the Void Gate, waved his hand at Aphrodite lying on the edge of the lava pool, chopped some clusters of red crystal stones next to the stone pillar, and then put them in a sackcloth bag, and burrowed through the cracks in the rocks into the Red Dragon's Treasure Chamber, ready to continue teaching the language of the runes of Iser.

The huge head of the red dragon Isser lay on the stone platform, looking at the delicate saddle of the dragon knight in a daze.

It wasn't until Surdak stood next to its huge head with a sackcloth bag that it raised its head and asked, "Dak, is this armor for me?" ”

"You mean this saddle cover for the Dragon Knight?" Surdak walked over, patted the saddle cover made of pure gold, and said.

He was a little afraid to look at the magic pattern engraved on it, and every time he looked at it, it would cause a huge shock in the sea of spiritual consciousness.

"The last time I was summoned to that cold plane by you, when I grabbed you and flew over that swamp, I thought of this armor, it belongs to the dragon knight, right?" Iser looked up and asked with some irritation.

"I probably won't need it now!" Surdak sat beside Iser, opened the mouth of the bag, took out the red crystal pillars more than a meter long, threw them into Iser's mouth like biscuits, and then said casually: "Maybe only when we form the dragon knights......"

"Duck, I want to try ......"

The red dragon Isser interrupted Surdak.
