After Pennipeh absconded in fear, the lord's private army of the Jezipias estate was in an awkward position

They should have been considered rebels, but when the hoplites took over the manor, they wisely chose to give up resistance, allowing Surdak to take over the manor with great ease

At present, the question before Surdak is what to do with these nearly 1,000 lords' private army.

In the past few days, many private troops have secretly left the barracks one after another, and the remaining lord's private army in the camp is less than half.

Surdak was not prepared to incorporate them into his lords' army, which had a weak will to fight, and he was not comfortable taking these soldiers into battle.

So the day after he had finished surveying the territory near the Cipias Manor, Surdak began to remove the garrisons from the manor, and he gave each soldier here a passage fee and scattered them home

Surdak only left a fifteen-member security team in the manor, which was not only responsible for maintaining the security of the manor, but also regularly patrolling the boundaries of the manor's boundary pillars.

At noon, Surdak received a group of magicians from the Law Enforcement Regiment, led by the head of the Law Enforcement Regiment of the Ruitdu Law Union, Abberk.

This is a middle-aged magician, he has fluffy black hair, and his eyes are also bright, and he can see that he has strong spiritual power.

Magician Aberk brought a total of seven magicians to the Yezipias Manor this time, and has been staying here for three days, yesterday I heard that Surdak had arrived at the manor, so he came to visit, but unfortunately Surdak went to inspect the border line of this territory and could not see him.

The magicians walked through the earth-scented courtyard into a parlor, where they saw Surdak standing by the drawing-room window, looking out at the sea of trees among the mountains in the distance.

Surdak turned, raised his hand and made a "please" gesture to the magicians.

The magicians all learned the etiquette of the elves, placing their right hands on their left shoulders and bowing their heads slightly.

Magicians continue to salute this way, presumably because their spells are an evolution of the Old Elves.

"Lord Surdakbury, the High Lord of the Gampoo Plane, the hero of Mukusu, it's a pleasure to meet you here......," the head of the Enforcement Mission, Master Aberk, said respectfully to Surdak

Surdak suddenly found himself standing in front of this group of ordinary magicians, and he was actually able to assume the posture of a superior person.

"Arbork Wizard, I'm glad to meet you, is there anything I can do to help?" Surdak asked with a smile

Surdak walked over to a set of couches in the living room and motioned for the magicians to sit down and talk.

The magicians were all unusually young, and almost all of them looked at Surdak with adoration on their faces.

"You've done us a great favor by informing us of what is happening here in advance, and I thank you on behalf of the Ruit Law Enforcement Corps." The Aberk Wizard said solemnly.

At this moment, a maid walked in from outside with a tray, placed eight cups of black tea in front of the magicians, and then retreated

went back.

A small talk ensued, mainly around the abandoned mine and the Yezipias estate.

The magician of Aberk felt that the conversation was almost over, and then asked Surdak:

"I heard that you cut down a tree of desire in the institute. The Tree of Hope?"

Surdak put down the teacup in his hand and replied:

"It is true that when we attacked this institute, we paid a very heavy price, and a total of thirty-five infantry soldiers died under this tree of desire."

"Sorry, that's unfortunate news." The Arbock magician hurriedly lowered his head.

Surdak sat on the sofa, stroked the leather hilt of the broadsword and said to the Arbock magician: "Preventing the Hell Demon Clan from entering the Roland Continent is originally the responsibility of every warrior in the Green Empire, and it is also our glory."

The Arberk mage showed a sincere gaze and said, "Lord Bory, can you sell us some of the branches and blood stones of the captured Tree of Desire, we are willing to buy some from you at the market price, maybe you don't know much about these magic materials, in fact, this kind of wood-based magic beast materials are very rare." However, it itself has hallucinogenic and blood-sucking properties, and is an important material for making illusion-type magic arrays. "

Although Surdak does not understand desire. The value of the Tree of Hope, but there is a succubus by his side, which makes him even know how many wives King Amohuadan has......

That's why he made people dig out the roots of the tree of desire from under the whole altar

Surdak smiled gently, and then said: "I really don't know much about this, but if you want to buy it, I'm still willing to sell some, as for the price, we will set it according to the average transaction price of materials like Bena City in the past two years......"

After a few more conversations, the group of magicians left the manor.

Surdak agreed to sell them the materials of the Tree of Desire, which made them very happy, but they were very disappointed that there was no friendship price, and they were very disappointed, knowing that this rare wood type of magical beast materials is very expensive in the magic market, even if this group of magicians who have never been short of money, they have to think carefully if they want to buy it.

....

After afternoon tea, Surdak led Hathaway and Beatrice to the cave at the foot of the manor.

The heavy infantry regiment led by the bearded Edgar has been stationed here,

The black mages who had hung on the crosses at the entrance of the camp were gone, and only about two dozen wooden crosses stood there, and now they were roped by some warriors, and some clothes were hung on them, and they had become a field of clothes.

At the edge of the camp were several large iron pots, in which steaming broth boiled, and from which the bones of some unknown beast were drawn.

Many hoplites bask in the sun in the camp, and the whole barracks is full of life

In front of the erected tent were swords and shields on the weapon racks, and some people were using grease to protect the weapons

Almost all of the hoplites here knew Surdak, and when the soldiers saw Surdak and Gulitm leading the men into the camp, they all stood up and saluted Surdak.

Hathaway and Beatrice followed behind Surdak, curiously surveying the barracks, and the two maids followed them briskly.

Surdak just walked through the camp and didn't stop there.

Walking into the entrance of the cave at the foot of the mountain, the entrance of the cave also needs to light a torch, the wind blowing from the cave, blowing the flame on the pine branch torch fiercely, Surdak holding the torch high, when talking in the cave, you can even hear the echo.

The cave had been very clean, and in some of the specially carved out stone rooms, only some wooden tables, wooden chairs, beds and other things remained, and valuable things had been looted by the soldiers of the heavy infantry regiment.

Surdak remembers that there were books on black magic and religion on the wooden shelves that leaned against the cave walls, but they were now completely emptied.

Entering the second spacious cavern, the altars inside have been completely demolished, the ruins of stones are piled up like hills, and several magicians from the law enforcement regiment are still doing their final search work in the cave, and magic lamps are still lit around them.

Generally speaking, valuable things are hidden very secretly.

Seeing Surdak walk in, these magicians also saluted Surdak

Surdak took Hathaway and Beatrice around the altar abandoned city first, and also told in detail the scene of the battle at that time, Surdak rarely told the scene on the battlefield, the two women heard this desire, and the tree of hope actually sucked dozens of meters of heavy infantry soldiers into dry corpses in addition to asking, and their faces became a little unpleasant,

Surdak took the two of them around the deepest dungeon of the research institute, the dungeon of the cave was even less ventilated, originally there was a strong stench inside, just at the entrance of the dungeon, a group of people couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses

There are no special torture instruments in this dungeon, and the black mages hold the captured civilians here just for the sake of desire. The Tree of Hope feeds them blood, and they don't think about killing these civilians in any other way......-

Hathaway and Beatrice just stood in the dungeon for a short moment before they couldn't help but run out.

At this point, the visit to the mysterious Dark Arts Hermitage Institute is over, and this time Surdak came in person to officially take over the Yezipias Manor, and when the lord army here is completely dismissed, Surdak will return to Rui

Special City.

The bearded Edgar's hoplite battalion was also planning to leave Yetipias, and the soldiers of the hoplite regiment would return to Mukusu in three groups.

Haherhol and Beatrice decided to stay at the manor for an extra three days, presumably so that they could tidy up the courtyard on this side of the manor so that they wouldn't have to continue the current cleanup work when they came back next time.

On the way back to Ruyt, Gulit sat on the shelves of the magic caravan and said to Surdak, "What a good man this Uncle Penny is! I actually gave you such a large manor......"

Surdak sat in the carriage and looked out the window at the mountains from time to time.

In the small town in the abandoned mining area, they were picked up by Ma Dainuo to sleep, and the group returned to Ruyt.

Malacombe's Thunder Rhino Caravan spent a week in Ruyt, and almost all of the Thunder Mo's shelves were filled with parts from the Steelworks.

One morning in early July, the caravan set off slowly to the sound of a melodious trumpet.

These hills-like Rehohou finally left Ruyt, and in the manor outside Surdak, they were left

The most common thing is a puddle of stool that is bigger than a double bed.

These Lei Jianhou feces were almost piled up into a hill in the manor, and countless flies and dung movers gathered on top of the dung mountain.

At Surdak's request, the stool was piled up by a group of farmers to form a line more than three meters high and ten meters high

The 200-meter-long dung wall, presumably to avoid the stench, was sprinkled with a layer of grass ash and fine sand, and even then it was difficult to hide the stench.

The steward of the manor suggested to Surdak that he hire some men to remove the manure wall, but Surdak said; Just pile it up there! Wait until next spring to sell for a good price......"
