1140. High Offerings
Surdak and the bartender were busy until the early hours of the morning in the warehouse-turned-treatment room behind the tavern, before they could complete all the treatment of the injured powerhouses on the side of the Blue Bridge Fortress.
The next day, there is a memorial service for the dead strong, which is an event that almost everyone in the fortress attends, and whenever someone dies in the fortress, Lord Adolphus, as the commander of the fortress, will hold a memorial ceremony to pay tribute to the dead heroes.
This is not only to mourn the memory of his companions, but also to make his convictions clearer.
The life of guarding the battlefield is quite boring, this place is far away from the Roland Continent, and almost all of the people who can come here are second-turn powerhouses, even the cooks, warehouse keepers, and ordnance maintenance masters in the fortress are all second-turn powerhouses, these people can at least become legion leaders in the Green Empire, but they can only stick to it in obscurity.
This defense line in the seventh region is the responsibility of the entire Roland continent, the Grimm Empire only occupies the northeast corner of the seventh district, the middle part of the north is garrisoned by the silver moon elves of the eastern continent, and the northwest is garrisoned by the United Kingdom of Aetia.
In addition to the latter three stations, the orc tribes, dwarf kingdoms, and savage swamp lizardmen in the eastern continent and the Pai Plateau all have a place in the seventh district, but their stations are located in the gap between the three stations, and the land area they occupy is not very large, but they are all fortresses that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.
With its powerful Constructed Knights and a large number of second-turn powerhouses, the Grimm Empire occupies four mountains in the northeast corner of the Seventh District, with a total of twenty-seven fortresses.
It is considered the largest garrison in the seventh district, but with the frequent outbreak of plane wars in the planes owned by various lords in the empire, a large number of second-turn powerhouses stationed on this side of the fortress have been transferred back to the Grimm Empire, resulting in a serious shortage of powerhouses on this side of the battlefield.
The number of strong men sent to the Great Battlefield by the Grimm Empire now is only half of the number at its peak.
And now the demon forces that are pouring into the battlefield are getting stronger and stronger, in addition to a large number of demon warriors, there are some evil eyes that are good at magic attacks and shadow demons who are good at assassination, a month ago, an archmage of the Vic Fortress was assassinated by the Shadow Demon in the fortress, although the Shadow Demon was besieged and killed on the spot, but the archmage was also infected with the black magic qi in his body, and unfortunately passed away not long ago.
For the Grimm Empire, there are a large number of first-turn constructor knights, but among so many first-turn constructor knights, it is pitiful that few can break through that bottleneck and become a second-turn powerhouse, and every second-turn powerhouse is very valuable to the Grimm Empire.
So every time someone dies in battle, Commander Adolphus will hold a memorial ceremony.
The ceremony was held in front of the tavern in the public area, and the relics of the two powerful men were placed on the wall of the storehouse, and the bartender would become a realist painter, pasting a few sketches on the wall, and the lower right corner of each painting would be signed with the name of the deceased, the date of birth and death, and a word of condolence.
Surdak hadn't noticed much of the wall, but now he noticed that there was a long row of portraits lining the entire wall.
He mingled in the crowd, with Samira and Andrew standing beside him, listening silently to Commander Adolphus about the life of the deceased, and finally everyone stood in the public area for three minutes of silence, and the simple mourning ceremony was completed.
After everyone left the common area, Samira walked slowly inside along the wall, looking intently at the portraits on the wall.
Jiali. Decker leaned against the door of the logistics group, his hands clasped around his bulging chest. Before, although the heavy armor made her legs look very thick, it was difficult to hide her pairs. The slender legs, the hemostatic bandage wrapped around her shoulders, if it weren't for the strong enough Demonic Pattern Constructed Shoulder Armor she was wearing, I am afraid that in yesterday's battle, I am afraid that her entire right arm would be cut off by the demon warriors who attacked the Blue Bridge Fortress.
Surdak had wrapped this hemostatic bandage around her.
When I see her now, she doesn't look like a wounded person with a deep wound on her shoulder.
Surdak stopped, Karry. With a faint smile on his face, Decker took the initiative to step forward and stretched out his right hand, and said to Surdak: "This time I came to thank you in person, I was too willful before, and now I want to get to know you again." ”
"Hello, Surdak Paladin, I'm Jiali of Ababa. Decker. ”
Surdak in Karrie. Decker slapped his palm on his hand and said with a straight face: "Although the recovery is not bad, you still have to pay attention to one thing in the past two days, and you can't move casually." ”
After speaking, he walked into the post-production group.
Old Heyman was already standing at the counter by this time, and Gullit continued to sleep soundly in the corner of his room.
"What about Samira? What time is it? You're going to keep tidying up the warehouse today! Old said in a muffled voice.
"Got it, she'll be over right away!" Surdak smiled and walked into the back warehouse with Andrew.
"Boss, how long are we going to be here, didn't we say that we were going to join the patrol team?" Andrew walked into the logistics warehouse and continued to complain to Surdak.
Surdak coughed lightly: "Ahem, I fell hard yesterday, at least let me rest for a few more days!" ”
In yesterday's battle, not only did the Bena swordsmen who went out to round up the hunt reap some loot, but the Ababa Construct Knights who were guarding the Blue Bridge Fortress also gained some loot, so much so that the logistics group's material warehouse was full of some heavy magic sealing boxes.
At noon, the elder Heyman handed over the task to Surdak and Andrew, who did not need to continue sorting through the various boxes of supplies in the warehouse.
Instead, all the heads of these brand-new demon warriors were dissected, the demon cores contained in them were taken out, and the demon horns on the heads of these demon warriors were collected, and the eyes of some demon warriors would also undergo some mutations, and some spars could be found from the eye sockets, and the rest of the garbage would be thrown into the incinerator behind the fortress and burned completely.
Every day at noon, old Heyman went to take a nap after lunch.
He was a little sleepy at this time, reached out and knocked on his stiff shoulder, and said to Surdak: "Old and old, all parts of the body are like rusty mechanical parts, and they are not so easy to use......"
Surdak pointed to a demon warrior head on the counter and asked Old Heyman:
"Are these devil's horns worth anything?"
Old Heyman's squinted eyes revealed incomparable shrewdness, and he said casually:
"It's not very valuable, these demon horns are not suitable for making magic weapons, but there are many alchemists who are willing to buy them and use them to make some dark magic powder, what do you think?"
Surdak said calmly, "I want to take out the head after the demon core!" ”
Old Heman rolled the whites of his dry eyes, thought for a moment and said: "You dig out all the demon cores in the heads of these demon warriors, and the rest can be left to you, but if you want to smooth out the accounts, there are no gold coins and magic crystals here, and you need to compensate the warehouse for a cup of black magic powder for each head." ”
Old Heyman pushed a teacup on the table in front of Surdak and added, "Of course, I don't care what method you use to get it. ”
Seeing Surdak's confused face, Old prompted: "Dark magic powder can be bought in the general store of Chaos Fortress, and black magic powder can probably be bought with magic crystals......
Surdak readily agreed, "Yes! ”
Old Heyman waved his hand to indicate the deal, and then said to Surdak: "There are a total of one hundred and twenty-seven heads here, so this batch of black magic fans is not a small number!" ”
"I've heard that necromancers like to go to the battlefield to collect all kinds of heads to craft trinkets, don't you have that interest?" Old Heyman asked Surdak a question.
Surdak immediately shook his head and said, "No. ”
Before leaving, Old Heyman instructed Surdak: "That's fine, remember to write the number of the magic core you took out, this thing needs to be stored in the vault ......"
"Okay." Surdak immediately agreed.
Old Heyman said that dark magic powder is not cheap, and Surdak knew that he would have to spend a sum of magic crystals this time to get his hands on these high-level sacrifices.
For a whole afternoon, Surdak was packing up these high-level sacrifices, and after taking out the demon core, the surface of the demon warrior's head was still contaminated with this large amount of black demon qi, even if Surdak had the power of holy light and held such a demon head with both hands, it was still corroded by the black demon qi.
He quickly put the heads of these demon warriors back into the sealed box, and then put them all into the magic belt.
In the evening, Surdak called Samira to his room and left Samira to guard the room.
If anyone was looking for him, he had Samira go to the door, but Surdak returned to the lava mine through the Void Gate.
Aphrodite squinted her eyes and leaned sideways on a wicker chair, the close-fitting dark devil robe made her figure look bumpy and convex, and the low-cut neckline appeared a clear and distinct silhouette, which made people feel the urge to pounce on it immediately against the backdrop of the waist that was not in the grip.
Two female kobolds knelt in front of a wicker chair and were quietly pinching Aphrodite's legs.
She squinted at Surdak who came out of the Void Gate, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she asked:
"What? Is there anything I can do for you? ”
Surdak sat beside Aphrodite, with one arm on her bent knee, and said:
"Well, it's been a long time since I've been back to Bailin, and I want to go and see the territory over there."
Aphrodite rolled her eyes, pulled Surdak's arm, and said bluntly:
"If you want Selena, just say it, and no one will make fun of you!"
“……”
One sentence was so blocked that Surdak didn't know what to say for a long time.
Seeing Surdak sitting dumbfounded, Aphrodite asked, "Do you want me to take a detour to Ruyt after passing through the village of Wall?" ”
"I don't need that."
Surdak replied.
