The last time I came to the Marquis of Luther's palace was in early spring, and now it's the height of summer.

Creepers on both sides of the street have covered the fence, the shade of the street trees has almost completely obscured the street, and a triangular plot of land opposite the Marquis' Palace has been converted into a small pond.

The magic caravan drove in at the entrance of the Marquis's Palace.

The guards at the door stood up straight and saluted the inside of the carriage.

The three ladies of the Marquis of Luther, Hathaway, and Beatrice were all waiting on the steps of the house's door.

The Marquis of Luthor was the first to step out of the carriage, and Surdak got out of the carriage and gave a knightly salute to Lady Marianne and the other two ladies.

Hathaway and Beatrice stood behind, their eyes wide open, unable to hide the joy on their faces.

Lady Marianne did not expect that the Marquis of Luthor would return to the Marquis Palace in a magic caravan with Surdak, and walked forward and whispered to the Marquis of Luther:

"Why don't you send someone to inform us in advance, I can also prepare some dishes that echo the flavor of Hailanza."

Marquis Luthor unbuckled his collar as he walked up the steps, and said with a smile to Surdak behind him:

"Duck, it seems that you will have to gradually get used to the food of Bena City in the future!"

Surdak followed behind and hurriedly said, "I actually like the Bena-style barbecue and vegetable rolls. ”

Then he silently added in his heart: 'But I don't like peanut butter stewed small fish......

Seeing that the Marquis of Luthor and Surdak were talking so casually, Lady Marianne smiled kindly at Surdak, and then summoned the butler to whisper a few words.

Lady Marianne was obviously well aware of Surdak's recent glorious deeds in the Dry Cloth Plane, and when she looked at Surdak, her eyes were smiling, and her eyes were full of satisfaction.

Even the other two ladies of the Marquis of Luther, Mabel and Lady Sisi, looked at Surdak with envy and jealousy.

Hathaway and Beatrice were also surprised, and they couldn't be too rude in front of everyone, so they could only step forward and hug Surdak tightly.

Dinner was also the dinner of an ordinary aristocratic family, with meatloaf, vegetable soup and whole wheat bread, but there were still some precious Warcraft meat on the table.

After dinner, Marquis Luthor had taken Surdak to his study to continue chatting.

But was quietly stopped by Madame Marianne......

……

It's the most muggy time of summer.

The Marquis' Palace is also very hot, except for the ice cubes in the bedroom, otherwise the stuffy room is like a sauna.

In the evening, it is only good to cool off on the terrace or in the back garden.

Young couples always have endless things to say, share some interesting things about their recent lives with each other, and also complain about their friends.

Surdak sat on Beatrice's lap and told them about the battle and post-battle restoration of the city of Mucuso, the town of Samp and the beautiful Belanomar River.

Hathaway and Beatrice reclined on their wicker chairs, listening to the stories quietly.

Occasionally drinking a little ice juice, the three of them lay by the pool, the sun had set, and it would be cool when the wind blew through the pool.

Both Hathaway and Beatrice had just taken a shower and were wearing loose linen petticoats, which were a bit conservative because they were in the back garden.

Thea soaked in the pool of the Marquis de Luthor Palace, as if the entire Marquis Mansion would deliberately avoid the vicinity of the pool, creating a quiet space for Hathaway and Surdak, so Thea unceremoniously showed her three-colored fishtail and kept splashing in the pool.

Speaking of the battle on the Dry Cloth Plane, Hathaway would have liked to hear Surdaktor tell the story of the red dragon.

Surdak's explanation for this is: 'He had a volcanic land in the middle of nowhere, which was rich in sulfur mines, and there was a secret chamber in the mountain cavern that connected to the plane of Istanbul, and it was there that he met the red dragon, and after feeding the red crystal many times, he formed a deep friendship with the red dragon. ’

"So, are you a dragon knight?" Beatrice asked curiously.

"For the time being, dragon knights also need to practice some combat skills, not that they can ride on dragons, even if they are dragon knights......" Surdak explained.

Hathaway blinked her big green eyes, pulled up her long, thick and thick curls, looked at the Naga mermaid in the pool, and asked Surdak curiously:

"Dark, didn't Miss Samira come with you this time?"

"This time I brought back an infantry team, and she stayed outside the city as the leader." Surdak said casually. "Speaking of which, I'm afraid it won't be long before I get the Great Battlefield Pass, sorry, it should have been handled before I got married."

Hathaway blinked her beautiful eyes and said softly to Surdak: "My wedding dress and Triss have been booked, and the wedding invitations have been sent out early, don't use this excuse to delay our wedding." ”

"Why, of course I hope the sooner the better!"

Surdak hurriedly sat down on Hathaway's wicker chair, held her hand and said.

At this time, Beatrice whispered to Surdak:

"Dark, my father wants to see you."

Surdak lowered his head and thought about it: yes, his daughter was going to marry him, but he had only met Count Gophilo a handful of times. Thinking that the ceremony would be held at the end of the month, the day after tomorrow, and since there was nothing important tomorrow, Surdak planned to visit Count Gophilo tomorrow.

"I am indeed a little rude on this matter, and I will find time to visit Count Gophilo tomorrow morning."

Surdak promised Beatrice.

He held Hathaway's slightly cool little hand, comforted Beatrice again, felt Beatrice's warm body hugging him tightly from behind, and couldn't help but think that if he was like this in his previous life, he would be sprayed as a shameless scumbag.

But in the lives of the nobles of the Grimm Empire, this doesn't seem to be anything at all.

The night was a bit muggy, and Surdak's hands seemed to sweat wherever they were placed......

……

The manor is full of hundred-year-old towering trees, and you can feel the family heritage of the aristocratic and wealthy family through the courtyard wall.

Who would have imagined that the Gophilo family, at their worst, would almost have to sell the estate to pay off those foreign debts.

Harvey. Gophilo stood at the gate of the manor, and now he had two mustaches on his lips, which made his whole body very energetic, and he looked much more mature as he wandered around the iron fence in a crisp suit.

Gu Li

It was probably the cold and warm encounters in the past year that made him at least not as willful as before.

Surdak stepped out of the magic caravan and stepped over.

Harvey took a deep breath, walked towards Surdak, and took the initiative to greet him: "Hi, Surdak, this morning Triss sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that you will be coming this morning, I heard that you are in the dry cloth plane?" ”

"Hi Harvey, long time no see!"

Surdak shook hands with Harvey, then patted him affectionately on the shoulder.

Seeing Surdak so easy-going, Harvey immediately felt a lot more energetic and walked towards the manor with Surdak.

The guard at the door hurriedly pushed the big iron gate open.

Walking into the gate of the manor, you can feel that the whole manor is much cleaner than before, many dilapidated places have been renovated, and there are more servants in the manor.

"Harvey, what have you been up to lately?" Surdak asked Harvey casually.

"It is the deep processing of some leather goods, the hard armor you sent due to the number of too much, and then the market has been saturated, I hoarded some hard armor, before I made some armor, now there are too many armor on the market, I changed to cavalry training uniforms, and recently received a batch of large orders." Harvey. Gophilo said with some smugness.

"What about Brunei?"

Harvey immediately said: "The manager of Brunei is also in charge of the leather business in the leather trading house, and I only do some deep processing of leather goods here. ”

Surdak then asked, "Then can your workshop make a magic pattern construction substrate?" ”

Harvey hesitated for a moment and replied honestly: "Well, it's not good for the time being, the leather makers I found are okay to make low-end leather goods, and their hands will shake when they make high-end leather armor!" ”

Surdak didn't expect Harvey to change so much at once, so he asked again: "Can you make the hard leather armor of the heavy cavalry?" ”

Harvey's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "Yes!" ”

Surdak took his arms around his shoulders and said:

"We can have a good chat when we have time, I just want to find someone to make a thousand sets of hard leather armor for heavy cavalry, if you have the ability to take orders, I also save yourself from finding someone else, before signing the contract, can I take a look at your leather deep processing workshop?"

"Of course!" Harvey didn't hesitate, and then asked with envy: "Dark, do you have so many cavalry now?" ”

Surdak just wanted to prepare some light armor for the Guborai horses on the Sayroman Plateau.

His cavalry regiments consisted of only two in the barracks of the town of Dodan on the White Forest plane, and there were currently less than a thousand men.

"The cavalry is not there yet, but the horses are ready." Surdak said with a smile.

The two talked and laughed and walked into the main building of the manor, where Count Gophilo sat alone in the living room, where there were several maids who were cleaning.

The maids saw Harvey walking in with Surdak and retreated.

Surdak strode forward, saluted Count Gophilo and greeted him.

Count Gophilo's eyes did not have the coldness and arrogance that rejected people thousands of miles away, but he still couldn't put it down when he spoke.

"Viscount Surdak, I heard that you recently regained the Dry Cloth Plane?" Count Gophilo said.

Considering the warm hugs and whispers that Beatrice hugged and whispered by the pool last night, probably worried that she would be coldly received or ugly today.

Since he had married someone else's daughter, Surdak felt that he should put on the posture of being a junior, so he replied: "With the help of thirteen lord armies, I successfully repelled the hellhound legion on the Naganbu plane. ”

Count Gophilo nodded.

The living room was quiet, and the scene was a little awkward.

At this time, the maid brought some tea, which eased the atmosphere in the living room.

"Surdak, you're doing well......"

Count Gophilo said: "Young people should wear armor to fight, in fact, I don't agree with Harvey doing business at such a young age, as a child of the Gophilo family, he should achieve some military achievements on the battlefield, and inherit the title in the future." ”

Harvey muttered quietly on the side: "In this award ceremony, little Bonnard bought the title with the Black Magic Crystal, and when my leather business grows a little bigger, I can also buy back an earl." ”

"You know what! Only when you go to the battlefield, whether it is physical or mental, can you be tempered, and only by forming a lord's private army can you maintain the status of the earl! Count Gophilo snorted and rebuked Harvey.

Harvey sat on the couch and kept silent.

Count Gophilo did not continue, and it seemed that similar disputes should have occurred between the two of them.

Count Gophilo seemed a little distracted, and said to Surdak: "Since your marriage date has been set, and you marry the daughter of our Gophilo family, the Gophilo family will have to prepare some dowry, and of course I can't just give you a Ruit city like the Marquis of Luthor, and I can't even take out a small town......"

Surdak hurriedly got up from the sofa and immediately said, "If you are willing to marry your daughter to me, this is the greatest treasure for me!" ”

"No wonder Beatrice thinks so highly of you, you can achieve such results, and still uphold the knightly virtues, this is the most commendable!" Count Gophilo nodded slightly, then stood up and said, "You two come with me......"

With that, Count Gophilo stood up and walked to the second floor.

Surdak and Harvey looked at each other and followed at the same time.

"The Gophilo family has been in decline for so many years, and although there is nothing left, there are still some things that I will take out now, which can be regarded as wedding gifts for you and Triss......" said Count Gophilo as he walked.

In the corridor on the second floor, there were some portraits and some magic sconces on the walls, and Count Gophilo walked to the end of the corridor and pushed open the door.

It was actually a study room, and the room was full of bookshelves, and there were rows of books on the shelves, which looked like a library.

Count Gophilo went to a bookshelf against the wall, took out a thick parchment tin book, handed it to Surdak, and said:

"Take this back, this is a notebook that records the combat skills of this broadsword, the ancestors of the Gophilo family specialized in the combat experience of broadsword, the first team of swordsmen formed by the family at the beginning, and the members are also good at using broadsword swordsmen."

Count Gophilo continued to walk inside, and said as he walked: "There is an ancestor in the family who had a whimsical idea to form a Constructed Knights, but then he went to the Eastern Continent and eloped with an elf, this notebook is his explanation of how to share the power of Constructed Knights and War Horses, oh, this is also a book of his experience, when he left the Gophilo family, he was just about to break through the bottleneck of level 30 and become a great knight......"

Surdak took the thick notebook......

At this time, he discovered that the family inheritance of the original aristocratic and wealthy families was not limited to blood, territory, army, wealth, manor, and magic pattern construction, but also knowledge and some precious experience notes.
