1335. Holding hands
Almost all the residents of Mukuso City took to the streets to participate in the parade, a grand military parade was held on the Heroes' Square in front of the town hall, and a grand celebration reception was held in the barracks of 100,000 lords, and by the time the reception was over, it was already midnight.
For the residents of Mukuso, the festivities are far from over, and large crowds are still gathering in the streets.
It was as if the entire city's wine collection had been drunk by the city's inhabitants on this night, and the merchants urgently brought barrels of ale from the city of Ruyette, and these oak barrels were transported out of the portal, and the corks were chiseled directly in the central square, and the cloudy liquor exuded a strong smell of wine.
It seemed that Gulitum was not going to return to Ruyint, and he was drinking with a group of infantry soldiers around the barbecue grill.
Gulit had already drunk too much, but his good brother was still quite sober, knowing that he grabbed the iron skewer that pierced the meat and stuffed a large piece of lamb with oily roast on it into his mouth, the ogre's belly was already slightly bulging, and the totem pattern on his body was also emitting a halo of strength, obviously after being drunk, he couldn't suppress the strength in his body.
As a magician, the most important thing is the coordination of spells and hand-drawn magic patterns, excessive drinking will make your hands and feet less flexible......
Due to the Surdak lords' penchant for ale, it is now popular throughout the city of Mukuso.
Today, Mucuso is a new sight, with street trees and shrub walls planted on both sides of the neat and clean streets, and trash cans and wooden benches on each road, which are painted white and look very eye-catching.
At the crossroads of each avenue there is a free public cistern, and the stone platform above the pool is locked with a water gathering magic rune board, which gathers clear water into the pool day and night, and there is only the simplest magic pattern circle on the rune board, so the water that flows out is only a trickle, and when pedestrians on the street pass by, it is no problem to wash their faces and drink some water, but it is completely insufficient to use this water to water the flowers.
In order to maintain the water supply of these cisterns, Mukuso City had to spend nearly fifty magic crystals every month.
However, this measure can be regarded as a complete solution to the problem that outsiders often can't find water to drink when they come to Mukuso City, and Surdak wants to develop the tourism industry in Mukuso City, and needs to build a large number of public facilities in the city.
As a half-elven archer, Samira is very self-disciplined, and unlike the elves, she basically does not touch alcohol, even if it is the tree sap wine and berry fruit wine made by the elves, her diet is relatively simple, occasionally eating a little grilled fish, and most of the time just eating fruits and vegetables.
This time she and Thea accompanied Surdak to participate in the celebration party, as Surdak's assistant, Thea wanted to help Surdak block the wine, so she also drank a lot of ale, although Jana has a very strong ability to control water, but the alcohol invaded Thea's sober consciousness little by little, and when the party was about to end, Thea almost half of her body hung on Surdak's shoulder.
Surdak's magic caravan is parked next to Heroes' Square, and there is a six-hour time difference between the Dry Cloth Plane in summer and the Grimm Empire in Roland Continent.
In the Dry Cloth Plane, the alternation of day and night is a bit shorter than that of the Grimm Empire, so it is now midnight in the Dry Cloth Plane, and it is just late afternoon on the side of Ruyin City.
Surdak rode in a horse-drawn carriage to the city of Ruyin and saw that the sun had just set from the stone arches of the hanging gardens on the western side of the city wall.
Thought of Karrie. Decker had just taken over the Raid City Guard Battalion, so he decided to go to the Guard Battalion Headquarters in Raid City, he had already communicated with the bearded Edgar at the celebration reception, and two days later, the bearded Edgar would lead 3,000 cavalry to join the Raid City Guard Battalion.
The magic caravan passed by the intersection of Seventh Avenue in the Magic Quarter, Surdak was squinting slightly, resting his head on the back of the sofa, and the drunken Thea was resting his head on Surdak's shoulder, sleeping very soundly.
Samira was on the sofa opposite the carriage, this time she did not wear light leather armor or magic pattern clothing, but very rarely wore a white gauze skirt often worn by elven women, and a pair of hard crystal sandals on her feet, although she did not wear any precious jewelry, but the whole person was like an elf fairy who did not eat fireworks in the world.
Her lips were painted with some light pink lip gloss, and her whole face became extremely vivid.
If it weren't for the fact that she was by Surdak's side, so that those officers did not dare to come up easily, maybe she would have been completely surrounded by those officers tonight......
The wind outside the window ruffled her long hair that was scattered over her shoulders, her hair waving back and forth between her cheeks, and her eyes flowed with the reflection of the shop windows of the long street.
At this moment, Surdak felt a lot in his heart, and he remembered some of the ...... he had read in the newspapers It is said that it is news, maybe it is just a casual fabrication story, about a high-ranking official who suffered a lot and did a lot of great things when he was young, and when he sat in a high position, he was silent in those gentle townships in just a few years and couldn't extricate himself. At that time, he couldn't understand why those people's control became less firm the older they were.
Thinking about it now, I can only laugh at myself, but my eyes can't leave Samira's charming eyes.
Seeing Surdak's fiery eyes, Samira did not dodge, but her gaze was more determined to meet it, and the two of them passed away in the carriage, and the ambiguous atmosphere became stronger and stronger......
Surdak reached out and shook the back of Samira's hand hanging at his side, but through the glass window, he saw a figure burrowing into the alley, the figure was wearing a black robe, the robe was attached to the hood, almost covering his entire face, his steps did not seem large, but the speed of movement was very fast, and Surdak's eyes flashed and disappeared.
It wasn't his black robes that caught Surdak's attention, but the surging aura that emanated from him.
Although that aura was very, very weak, as a second-turn powerhouse, Surdak's body was filled with the power of holy light, so he felt that faint aura very keenly.
There was an aura that spread outward like ripples from his body, and that aura Surdak had felt more than once in Count Fornak and Naomi, and it was supposed to be a dead aura only for the undead, so Surdak suspected that he was probably a necromancer.
The laws enacted by the city of Ruyin clearly stated that all necromancers in the city were to register with the guard barracks.
And in Surdak's impression, there is no necromancer in Ruyant City, and looking at his back, it should not be Naomi that he is familiar with, Naomi is more delicate than him. Much smaller, and Naomi has stiff limbs and arms and doubles when she walks. It's hard to coordinate the legs, so they look very unnatural.
The pedestrian, who was dressed in a black robe, was very flexible.
If not Naomi...... Surdak decided to chase it out the next moment!
He then let go of Samira's hand, lifted Thea's head to the other side, and then quickly pushed open the door of the carriage, and the magic caravan was still speeding down the street, and Surdak jumped into the street, his body stepped over the bush wall, landed lightly on the sidewalk, and ran towards the alley on that side.
Before the pedestrians on the street even reacted, Surdak had already disappeared.
Samira also saw that figure, but she didn't want that person to affect her, so she chose to turn a blind eye, but Surdak just glanced at it, and then sensed that something was wrong, and actually chased after it without hesitation.
Samira hated the figure in her heart, kicked her feet casually, took off her high-heeled crystal slippers, held the hem of the gauze skirt in both hands, and jumped barefoot with Surdak out of the magic caravan, with magic patterns appearing on her arms, and the next moment she landed on the street more lightly than Surdak.
Just as she flew out, she didn't forget to close the carriage door with her feet.
The two hardly need to communicate, the moment Surdak rushed into the alley, Samira chose to jump on the roof, directly from the side street crest to the front, the life of the demon pattern of Samira, the body is like a dragonfly flying in the wind, every time he clicks on the roof ridge, he jumps forward seven or eight meters away, and disappears in a blink of an eye.
Surdak rushed into the alley, his feet already spreading an 'aura of enthusiasm', and he lost track of the man in his eyes.
Just to feel a long stream of dead air in the air, he chased forward very quickly, and then jumped up a high wall, and as for the crowded street next door, he saw the voice facing away from him, very quickly through the crowd.
Surdak pressed his hand to the hilt of his sword and jumped straight from the high wall into the opposite street, chasing after the figure.
Surdak was dressed in a noble dress, and he ran through the streets like this, and everyone knew that he was a nobleman as long as they had eyes, and the pedestrians on the street dodged to the sides.
Seeing that the chase was getting closer, Surdak pressed one hand on the hilt of his sword and the other on the shoulder of the man running in front of him.
Just on the crowded street, the man continued to run forward without looking back, Surdak pulled hard, and one of the sleeves of the black robe was removed by Surdak, and inside was actually a white bone arm, and the man in front also stopped, he turned his head, and the hood covering his head fell, revealing a skeletal face with soul fire in the afterglow.
There was even a hint of ferocity in the steaming dark blue flames, and the skeleton warrior stopped running, but raised his white bone arm and lunged towards Surdak.
Surdak drew his broadsword the next moment, and the blade emitted a surging holy light, and when he swung his sword, the afterimages of the five sword blades appeared at the same time, and the white bone arm of the skeleton warrior just forcibly blocked the first blade that Surdak cracked, and then it was shattered by the sword shadow behind him.
The broadsword did not stop because of this, and then the afterimage slashed at the forehead of the skeleton warrior, and the forehead skull suddenly shattered, and the holy light on the blade met the soul fire in the eye socket, and then the soul fire was like a snowflake falling on a pond, and it was instantly dissolved by the holy light.
As the soul fire in the Skeleton Warrior's eye socket was extinguished, the Skeleton Warrior was instantly shattered into a cloud of dry bones, and the tattered black robe was piled on the ground.
The pedestrians around were stunned by this sudden incident, everyone was looking at Surdak in amazement, and the knights of the guard battalion, who heard the sound of fighting in the distance, also rode quickly towards this side.
Surdak crouched down and picked up the tattered clothes with his long sword, and the pile of bones on the ground was almost reduced to broken bones.
He couldn't find any useful clues from the broken bones, and the crowd of onlookers began to slowly gather in this direction, and the two guards battalion construction knights had already rushed over at this moment.
Where does Surdak not know...... The most I chased was a stand-in puppet.
The one who was really going to chase had already taken advantage of the chaos, but Samira hadn't come to join him for so long, and Surdak guessed that Samira shouldn't have lost it.
At this time, the knights of the guard battalion had already recognized Surdak's identity and were about to dismount and salute, Surdak hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You help me deal with this side, I'll go to the front to take a look......"
"Yes, sir!"
The knight hurriedly dismounted and saluted, and saw Surdak leave, and only a pile of dry bones was left on the scene, but the knight did not slack off, took out a cloth bag from the horse's back, put all the dry bones and tattered robes into it, and quickly cleaned up the scene......
When Surdak found Samira, he found her standing on the edge of the river in a daze.
"What about people?" Surdak asked Samira, looking around, but there were no prisoners or wounded or anything.
Samira pointed to the small river in front of her, which was not very wide, and said to Surdak, "Jump into the river and disappear......
Surdak searched the river for a while, but did not feel the particular dead air around him.
Samira regretted that she didn't wear a demonic pattern, even if she wore a salamander light leather armor, the target would not jump into the river, and thinking of this, she clenched the heavenly strike bow in her hand.
"What should I do?" Samira asked Surdak.
"Let's go, let's go see Carrie. Decker, let her arrange for people to check in the city, oh, the manpower of the guard battalion should not be enough these days, it will be fine in two days......" Surdakra walked back with Samira.
Samira lowered her head, she didn't know how red her face was at the moment, but her hand was held tightly by Surdak.
The two walked to the corner of the street, and the coachman finally found the magic caravan, and Surdak pushed the door open and got into the carriage, and found Thea still sleeping soundly on the sofa, unaware of what was happening outside.
Samira followed Surdak into the carriage, but instead of sitting on the opposite side, she naturally sat with Surdak.
As the evening sun set completely below the horizon and a red glow appeared on the horizon, Samira's mood was extremely bright......
