Surdak got up from the bathtub and walked in front of the bronze mirror again, and the body in front of him had changed significantly, the intertwined scars on his skin seemed to have suddenly disappeared from his body, and the dark patches on his body had disappeared.

Although he was still covered in scars, he didn't have the terrifying appearance he had before, and it was more like a new layer of skin.

The magic skin on his leg also fits perfectly with the body, like a delicate tattoo, Surdak wiped his body with a bath towel, then changed into a linen shirt, put on the magic pattern structure that he would never take off easily, and walked out of the room.

When the maid who was cleaning saw Surdak coming out of it, she immediately saluted Surdak and said to him, "Lord Marquis is waiting for you in the dining room, do you need me to take you there?" ”

Surdak smiled and said, "No, I know how to go." ”

The maid hurriedly saluted, and then walked into Surdak's room with the handle and the cloth.

Surdak wanted to see how Thea slept in the pool that night, but now he needed to go to the dining room to meet Marquis Luthor.

Walking into the dining room, Kenneth Butler stood behind the Marquis of Luthor, saw Surdak walk in, and hurriedly pulled the chairs from the table.

Marquis Luthor sat on the throne, holding a magical newspaper in his hand, and when he saw Surdak walking in, he said with a slight startle:

"Although I can see that your spirit is very tired, but your complexion is quite good, I feel like you have changed a little, but you can't see the state of being full of energy after promotion, your situation is really a little difficult to understand."

Surdak sat down, smiled and said, "Something strange happened, I was exploring my spiritual consciousness sea, I found a door, when I opened the door, there was a sea of countless broken ice floating inside, I tried again last night, and finally climbed a huge ice floe, and I also saw a land covered with ice and snow. ”

"After all my mental power was exhausted, I woke up from that spiritual world, and then I felt some changes in my body."

Marquis Luthor put down the newspaper in his hand and said to Surdak: "After entering the second turn, the warrior not only needs to strengthen himself, but also needs to hone his mental power and willpower, and finally break through the second turn to become a third-turn Templar, and you also need to merge your spirit and body into one, so that your body can be sublimated from a container that can hold fighting qi to a source of power with a unique magic pattern circle. To put it simply, it is a process of self-perception of the magic pattern of life. ”

After becoming a second-turn powerhouse, no one told Surdak how to go on the road to promotion in the future, even if he met the Grand Knight of Trollope a few months ago, he didn't talk about it.

In fact, it was not even known that knights after the third turn would be honored as Templars.

Since Marquis Luthor talked about this, Surdak was naturally very attentive to it, but Marquis Luthor himself was only a second-turn great swordsman, and his knowledge of the knight's path was also very limited.

Seeing that Surdak didn't even have these basic knowledge, he casually asked, "Dark, how long has it been since you reported to the local knights?" ”

Surdak was slightly stunned by the question, and said honestly: "I haven't been there since I registered as a knight, I thought that the registered knight was just an identity, and then became a noble baron, and never went back." ”

"So you advanced to become a second-turn knight, and you completely figured it out by yourself?" Marquis Luthor patted his forehead a little speechlessly, and asked Surdak again.

"A mage friend told me that my situation belongs to the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, and if you want to be promoted to become a second-turn powerhouse, you need to comprehend the elemental body and fighting spirit at the same time, and only if you have two conditions at the same time can you be promoted to a second-turn powerhouse, and it may be very difficult to become a second-turn powerhouse, but I am a little special when I am promoted, it seems that someone is constantly asking me some questions, and after I answer, I will be promoted to a second-turn paladin." Surdak replied.

"You are now a second-turn paladin, you can register your identity at the knights' union in Bena City when you have time, there are many older knights in the union, they may not be as strong as you, but they know how to go on the path of cultivation, you have to humbly ask them for advice." Marquis Luthor admonished Surdak.

"I'll find time to register with the Knights' Guild." Surdak honestly agreed.

Marquis Luthor nodded a little speechlessly, and then said: "Since you haven't been to the Knights' Guild to report, the person who revealed the information that you became a second-turn powerhouse should not be from the Knights' Guild, but after this plane war subsides, there is no reason for the military department to continue to press the Great Battlefield Pass, so you must be a little mentally prepared, it won't be long before you will be conscripted to the Great Battlefield, so before that, you need to make more preparations." ”

"I've been actively preparing." Surdak said.

Marquis Luthor casually pushed the magical newspaper from the table to Surdak and said, "Look at the article on this......"

……

The Magic Newspaper occupies an entire page of the war on the Dry Cloth Plane.

The magical newspaper in Bena City hyped up the victory of the Gampoo plane, but there was no figure of the red dragon Isel in the article, and Surdak guessed that it might be the intervention of the Marquis of Luthor to make the magic newspaper dilute Isser's information, after all, when it comes to dragons, it will touch a lot of Min. Sense of the topic.

In fact, what Surdak didn't know was that Marquis Luthor also had some selfish intentions and didn't want anything to happen before the wedding.

After all, if Surdak has the potential to become a dragon knight, I'm afraid that Duke Newman and the royal family of Angel Bold will want to marry their daughter to him.

Although there has been a lot of rumors about Surdak's possession of a red dragon companion in the market, the military department has been silent, which has given the people a lot of speculation, and even some people have some doubts about the authenticity of this rumor.

The battle of the Gampoo plane was won, and the Warsaw plane war has not been able to break the situation, so it has become the object of ridicule among the people of Bena City.

Marquis Luthor also hoped that Surdak would avoid the resentment of the aristocratic circles, so only two places in the entire report had his name, the rest of the place was referred to as Bena Synesthesia, and even the names of Morrison and Harper, the two archmages, repeatedly appeared in the magic newspaper.

……

A simple breakfast was placed in front of the Marquis of Luther, a portion of roasted monster meat, whole wheat bread, fried eggs, and milk, and the Marquis of Luther explained to Surdak while cutting the pieces of meat with a knife:

"You need to keep a low profile at this time, and getting noticed by the public too early is often not a good thing."

"When people like you, they will chase you and make you fall into the clouds."

"Sometimes people will be instigated by ulterior motives because of a small unspoken thing, they hate you, spit on you, and make you fall into the abyss."

"Whether it is to pursue you and let you fall into the clouds, or to spit on you and let you fall into the abyss, it will not do you any good now."

Surdak had the same breakfast in front of him, and Surdak listened attentively to the Marquis Luther's teachings as he did to cut the meat.

This morning, the two of them were the only ones in the restaurant......

……

Because they didn't go home for dinner last night, Hathaway and Beatrice were grounded by Lady Marianne, and they had to go shopping during the day.

However, Surdak was free to enter and leave the Marquis's Palace, and he wanted to go out of the city to bring Gulitum to the market where war weapons and armor were sold, and help the ogre choose a better set of armor.

Before leaving the house, Hathaway sent a maid to tell Surdak that he must come back early in the afternoon, because there would be a dance party in the evening.

The night before each ceremony, the Duke of Newman's court invited the new nobles to a ball, as was customary in the city of Pena, a custom that had evolved into an unwritten rule.

The ball will be held in the Duke of Newman's Palace, and it will not only be invited to these new nobles, but almost all the nobles of Bednar City will participate, so that this ball is no longer for the purpose of dancing, this is a platform for nobles to connect with their feelings, everyone can meet the big people who are rarely seen in ordinary times, and of course, they must know how to seize the opportunity at the ball, and how to socialize is a university question.

Hathaway and Beatrice will officially accompany Surdak to the ball as fiancées.

Surdak left the Marquis of Luther in a magic caravan, and Hathaway and Beatrice could only lie on the windowsill of the round bedroom at the top of the tower, watching from afar as the magic caravan drove out of the street.

The mermaid Thea was very energetic, and she leaned her head against the window and looked at the street scene along the way.

The street trees on both sides of the street on this side of the aristocratic quarter are very neat, and there is a row of carefully manicured shrub low walls under the street trees, and the magic caravan travels very fast on this road, and when it reaches the shopping street in the city center, it encounters a congested traffic, and when it passes through the civilian area, a large number of civilians pass through the street, and the magic caravan moves even slower, so that the coachman will often pull the rattle bell in his hand to warn the civilians passing through the street.

After arriving at the camp outside the city, the ogre Gulitham and the half-elf archer Samira were already waiting at the camp gate.

As was customary, the ogre sat on the luggage rack that extended from the back of the caravan of magic, and Samira got into the car and sat side by side with Thea.

Samira, who was sitting in the carriage, was slightly stunned when her eyes fell on Surdak's body, and asked, "Boss, did Thea give you a beauty?" The scars on your body have faded a lot. ”

"Is it that obvious?" Surdak subconsciously didn't touch his neckline and asked.

Samira looked at Thea, who quickly spread out her hand and immediately clarified, "I slept in the pool in the back garden last night, and the boss never said that he needed to take care of his skin or anything, I thought he kept those scars on purpose to show off the wild aura of a warrior!" ”

"I implanted a magic pattern into myself last night, and the amplification attribute is 'nourishment', and I didn't expect to be able to restore these scars on my body." Surdak tapped his left leg with his hand and motioned for the pattern to be there.

Samira nodded slightly, and said in her characteristic voice, "It works very well!" ”

The largest weapons and protective equipment trading market in Bena City is located at the intersection of the sixth and seventh blocks where the workshops gather, next to this trading market is a large slave trading market, and the slave trading market is diagonally opposite a gladiatorial arena.

This kind of ticket does not have a specific seat number, and in fact everyone stands and watches the whole gladiatorial match, because you can't see it at all when you sit down.

However, even if it is this kind of standing ticket, the price of each ticket is very expensive, and the value of a ticket for a platform seat is about twenty-five silver coins, and ordinary families who want to watch a gladiatorial match only need to cut down on food and clothing for a while.

Before the start of each duel match, the citizens will come here early to line up, because only then can they squeeze into the front row.

Of course, the nobles who watched the game were much more comfortable, the aristocratic area had a long row of benches, and the position was better, and they could see it clearly when they sitted, and the tickets here were only available to the nobles, and the tickets here were divided into five grades, and the lowest price was a gold coin, and the highest was a gold coin.

The Colosseum also has booths designed for the bigwigs, which are not something that can be bought with money.

Surdak didn't expect the audience watching the duel match to jam the entire street.

The magic caravan was impassable at this time, so Surdak simply pushed open the door of the carriage, jumped out of the carriage, and blended into the crowd with Samira and Thea, ready to walk through the area.

The magic caravan has not yet penetrated deeply, and it is completely possible to turn around and leave this congested long street.

The ogre Gulitham followed behind Surdak, the big man more than three meters tall made the oncoming pedestrians avoid him, Surdak squeezed smoothly through the long street outside the gladiatorial arena, and when he passed the slave market, a group of slave traders guarding the gate of the market looked at Thea and Samira, their eyes were surprisingly bright.

It was only when they saw a two-headed ogre standing behind the two women, and they wanted to shrink into the crowd.

When the civilians saw the two-headed ogre, they only thought that such a big man looked scary, but these slave traders really knew that the ogre with a second head was equivalent to the existence of a second-turn powerhouse, and when the slave hunters saw the two-headed ogre in the wild, most of them would choose to silently withdraw from its territory.

When Thea heard that this was a slave market, she looked in curiously through the doorway, and could see that her desire to save the fallen people had not been dispelled.

In fact, Surdak also wanted to visit the slave market, he hoped to buy a few real dwarven slaves, it is said that the dwarves except for drinking and bragging, each of them has a refined ingenuity, which is not found in human craftsmen.

In addition to cutting corners, human craftsmen have also learned the exaggeration of the elven craftsmen, who have learned that the elves like exquisite hollow patterns, but they do not understand the magic patterns in those patterns......

Surdak wanted a few dwarves in his mine.

However, Surdak temporarily lived in the Marquis of Luther's palace, and even if he bought a slave, he probably had nowhere to put it.

Seeing the hesitation in Thea and Surdak's eyes, the slave traders seemed to be their potential customers, and immediately wanted to join in.

These people are watching words and emotions every day, and they can't be shrewd.

These slave traders are like a bunch of scalpers, their main livelihood is to take the bosses who want to buy slaves every day, so that they don't wander around the slave market like headless flies, they know which stalls have what kind of slaves, and they can quickly buy the slaves they want as long as they pay some commission.

However, there are also a lot of pig slaughter plates hidden in it, and they will not only take the bosses' commissions, but also take a share of the slave owners' commissions......

Under Samira's fierce gaze, the slave traders walked away with great interest.

Thea followed Surdak out of the slave market, and deliberately said beside him:

"I decided that I would also make a little more money like Samira, and with that money I could get them out of the slave market......"

Surdak stopped, stretched out his hand to put his arm around Thea's cold, smooth and round shoulder, and said:

"There is a proverb in our hometown: 'No trade, no harm', don't always think about buying your people back, if you always have this thought, all the slave traders in the world go to capture the Naga Hai, how rich you are, you may not be able to buy all of them back, the more money you have, the bigger this slave trade will be, but if you can find a way to kill this thing at the source, maybe there will be a lot fewer slaves for the Cana mermaids."

Thea asked, somewhat confused, "You mean to let the Nagas go back to the deep sea?" ”

Surdak shook his head and said, "No, I mean that the Naga Sea Clan should organize a patrol and drag these slave traders into the sea and drown, your Naga Sea Clan's ban on hunting is still too weak, you should learn from the orcs." ”

“……”

Thea's eyes widened as she stared at Surdak, as if to see if there was still a trace of Naga blood in Surdak's body......
