The biggest difference between the mountain city of Highlandsa and Ruit is that it is located halfway up the mountain, and the whole city is hidden among the dense oak forests, almost blending in with the surrounding environment, like a magnificent topaz embedded in the blue sea.

The city of Ruyt, on the other hand, is completely covered with a cliff nearly 200 meters high, and the city completely covers the cliff.

The summit of the mountain of Highlanza belongs to the Christie family, and few people have been able to reach the summit of this mountain.

Surdak was standing on the top of Mount Highlandsa at the foot of the densely populated mountain city, and if anyone could set up a few trebuchets on the top of this mountain, the entire city of Highlandsa would be completely within the range of the catapults.

The land at the top of the hill belongs to the Christie family and is the cemetery of the Christie family.

As far as the eye can see, obsidian tombstones occupy almost the entire summit of the mountain, and because the summit is surrounded by dense gold and silver oak trees, few people know that there is a cave here.

Darcy's tombstone is located on the sunny southern slope of the cemetery, and from here, you can see the city of Highlandsa just in full view.

Almost all the nobles in the city of Highlandsa had come to the funeral, and the open space in front of the tombstone was crowded with nobles in black dresses, and Karl had been careful to stay by Lady Mariana's side, who was almost fainting from tears.

In contrast to Lady Mariana's grief-stricken, the rest of the Christie family was more silent.

Darcy placed the Knights of the Christie Family Guard into the hands of Surdak before his death, which was probably the main reason for their collective silence.

Darcy. Christie's funeral lasted all morning, and the funeral came to an end when the nobles placed the flowers they were holding around the tombstones.

People left one after another, and the tombstone was surrounded by flowers, and the petals fell with the wind when it was so gently blown by the wind......

Surdak waited until the end, and as he looked at the cemetery that had become quiet, he sighed softly.

Darcy. Christie's tombstone is also inscribed with a sentence in imperial Chinese: 'The moon shines her light all over the sky, but leaves her black spots for itself.' - Surdak'

The funeral attendants left the cemetery at the top of the hill one after another, and even Lady Mariana was helped away by the maids......

On a raised rock at the top of the mountain, Surdak, Karl, and Lance sat on it.

The three of them looked at the green mountains in the distance, and Lance, who had a sparkle of wisdom in his eyes, asked Surdak with a curiosity:

"If you could do it all over again, would you choose to marry Darcy?"

Surdak shook his head, withdrew his gaze and landed at his feet, and said to Lance, "I don't know......"

He was silent for a moment, and then added:

"To miss is to miss, maybe there were some regrets at the time, but for me and Darcy at that time, our stubborn character doomed us to not be able to stay together."

Hearing Surdak say this, Lance stopped talking.

Karl, who was on the side, suddenly asked Lance:

"I heard that Captain Gerald is going to recommend you to be the deputy head of the Law Enforcement Corps?"

Lance was a little surprised, and asked suspiciously:

"Well, I was notified the day before yesterday, how did you know?"

Karl smiled smugly and said, "I'm the chief of the guard of the city of Highlandsa......"

Surdak didn't listen to the teasing between Lance and Carl at this time, he set his eyes on the place where the sky and the mountains were connected in the distance, but his thoughts drifted away with his gaze.

Many times, the world is unreal to him.

But looking at the friends around me, I found that I had been moving forward, and along the way, I could finally stand on the top of the mountain and look into the distance.

There was a hint of fortitude in Surdak's eyes, several dimensional wars had sharpened him like a sharp knight's sword, he habitually touched the hilt of the sword at his waist, and said to his two friends:

"I'm going to the Warsaw plane, maybe next time we meet, when I return from the Warsaw plane......"

Carl was stunned, and Lance was also on the spot.

Karl asked Surdak:

"Dark, didn't I remember that you were in the Warsaw plane when you did your military service? Why did the above send you to that fire pit this time? ”

With a wry smile on his face, Surdak said to Karl, "I'm the lord of the Dry Cloth Plane, what's so strange about that!" ”

"I heard that Lord McDonnell was unwilling to lead the lord army to the Warsaw plane, so he took the risk of choosing the independence of the Ganbu plane!" Karl said to the two.

"I've heard that Warsaw is a big quagmire, I hope you can get out of it as soon as possible......" Lance put his hand on Surdak's shoulder.

Just now, I was so envious of Surdak that he temporarily became the Archon of Hyranza City, but in the blink of an eye, when I heard that he was about to go to the Warsaw Plane to fight the demon legions there, I suddenly felt that the position of the Archon of Hylanza City seemed to be not so fragrant.

In the past few years, I don't know how many noble lords in Bena Province have fallen in the sands of the Warsaw plane......

Now Surdak is going to lead his army to the Warsaw plane, and no matter how you think about it, it is not a reliable thing to do.

"Is it already settled?" Carl asked.

Surdak nodded and said, "Fifty thousand heavy infantry soldiers have already taken the magic airship to Bena, and I will reorganize the cavalry regiment next......"

……

The streets of the city of Highlandsa are still so crowded, almost every step of the way you can see a bridge crossing overhead, many of the buildings have balconies that almost extend to the street, and some clothes poles are built from the balconies on this side to the protruding terraces across the street, so when walking, you have to look up overhead from time to time to avoid being hit by falling water droplets.

The Knight Academy on Dorenval Street in the city of Highlandsa has opened.

From the outside of the school, groups of teenagers in the academy were running on the playground, each student was very young, Surdak rode along the main road of the street, in order to facilitate little Peter's school at the knight's academy, Natasha chose the rented house on this street.

And it's not too far from the Magic Tower, just walk down this street and you can reach the Magic Tower.

Natasha rented a three-story villa temporarily, the yard was not large, the roof was paved with dark red tiles, there were two fruit trees in the yard, there was a shrub wall in the yard, and the gate was a short wooden fence, and Surdak led the horse into it.

Originally, Surdak had planned not to stay here, but on the way back, he changed his mind.

After all, I haven't seen Natasha for a long time, and it may take two or three years to leave this time, although I can sneak back to take a look halfway, but there won't be too many opportunities.

There was a rhythmic sound of clothes tapping in the courtyard, and Surdak tied the reins to the tree in the doorway, and then walked over in search of the sound.

I saw Natasha squatting next to the water platform, washing some dirty laundry, heard footsteps behind her, and turned around sharply to find that Surdak was already standing behind her, Natasha immediately screamed and stood up, shook the soapy water on her hand, and threw herself into Surdak's arms.

The privileged life made her look a little plump, and when she held it in her arms, the sense of happiness was almost bursting.

Although the family now has no food and clothing, and hires maids and cooks, Natasha is used to doing these things.

There was a faint smell of lavender on her body, and the two of them didn't even speak, so Surdak took Natasha's delicate face and pecked heavily on her soft and warm lips.

Natasha's eyes seemed to be able to speak, and when she saw Surdak, her eyes were almost bent into double crescents.

"Did you miss me?" Surdak asked, leaning into Natasha's ear.

Although she is already an old husband and wife, Natasha still blushes when Surdak hugs her.

Natasha nodded, then whispered in response:

"I knew you'd be back!"

From Natasha's words, Surdak guessed that Natasha already knew about Darcy's death.

Natasha pulled him towards the house and asked with some anticipation, "How long can you stay when you come back this time?" ”

"I'll leave tomorrow......" Surdak said to Natasha, looking at her.

"Leaving so soon?" Natasha was slightly disappointed.

Surdak could only say, "This time pick up Daxi. Christie's news is relatively sudden, there are still many things to deal with in his hands, and this time the military department has dropped a call-up order, and I estimate that he will go to the Warsaw plane in the near future. ”

Hearing that Surdak was preparing to go to the Warsaw plane, Natasha's face instantly turned extremely pale.

"Don't worry, I'm the supreme commander of the Western Route Army, so safety is guaranteed!" Surdak whispered comforting to the woman beside him.

Natasha was only worried for a moment, and then began to prepare the bath water for Surdak's food.

Old Sheila sat in a rocking chair in the living room, seemingly sleeping, but when Surdak walked to her side, Old Sheila just opened her somewhat cloudy eyes, saw Surdak, just nodded to him slightly, motioned for him to sit down next to him, but did not say a word.

Old Sheila has aged very quickly during this time, and there are two more age spots on her face than last time, and the loose skin and flesh are almost piled up on her cheeks.

She held up her trembling hand and pointed to the nuts on the small table.

This was the first time that old Sheila took the initiative to invite Surdak to eat, which made Surdak a little moved.

Surdak sat next to old Sheila, and did not rush to eat those nuts, but washed Old Sheila's body again with the power of holy light, and said to her: "I have already arranged the affairs of Little Peter, if the magic awakening ceremony fails to make Little Peter a magic apprentice, then send him to the Knight Academy." ”

Hearing Surdak talk about little Peter, old Sheila, who was a little tired, immediately felt much more energetic.

Little Peter is probably the only spiritual pillar in her heart now.

"This time I'm going to the Warsaw plane......" Surdak said casually.

Old Sheila, who was trembling with the water cup, shook her hands suddenly, and the teacup in her hand suddenly spilled on the carpet, although the teacup was not broken, but the tea inside was wet as a large piece of carpet.

Old Sheila's lips trembled, and she wanted to say something dissuasive, but when she saw Surdak's resolute gaze, the words that had just reached her lips suddenly shrank back.

"I'll go to Moyunling to see him, see the second squad, look at the forest camp camp, do you need me to bring him back?" Surdak asked Sheila Sr.

Old Sheila waved her hand, gasped a little when she breathed, and said, "Just let him lie over there, no need to toss." ”

"This time, if I have the possibility, I will help them get revenge......"

Before Surdak could finish speaking, he was interrupted by old Sheila: "I don't need you to take revenge, don't be blinded by hatred, you are leading the army over there this time?" ”

Surdak nodded.

"Then I have only one request, promise you, you must bring them back as much as possible, don't leave them there, this war has been too long, compared to the victory of the war, everyone hopes that the relatives can return safely." Old Sheila took Surdak's hand and said to him earnestly.

Surdak squatted in front of Sheila Sr.'s rocking chair, feeling that Sheila Sr. was old, but not confused.

……

This villa has an en suite bathroom.

The bathtub was filled with water.

Surdak sat in the bathtub and took a bath.

Natasha moved a small Maza and sat behind Surdak to help him rub his back, Surdak did not speak, he just listened quietly to Natasha talking about the trivial things in life.

Here, she met some neighbors......

The neighbor's children would always sneak into the yard and steal pears from the trees, but since the last time Natasha picked a large pot of pears and delivered them to the two children's homes, the child had never climbed over the courtyard wall to steal pears.

The widowed old man across the street liked to bask in the sun at the door of his house, and every time little Peter passed by, he would talk to the old man.

According to Little Peter, the old man was a swordsman when he was young, and now that he is older, he still knows the art of using the sword very well.

Little Peter's eyes lit up every time he talked about it, but little Peter rarely talked about learning in the magic tower......

There are occasional flower girls on the street, and Natasha occasionally buys a bouquet and inserts it into a bottle, as long as the bottle is filled with water, the flower can live in the bottle for more than half a month.

She babbled a lot, and Surdak listened patiently.

As she spoke, Natasha paused and hesitated for a moment before asking Surdak, "Did they say that Ruyt is a big city, bigger than Hylanza?" ”

"It's bigger, and there's a portal in the center of that city, and there's a bigger city on the other side of the portal, and it's called Mukuso." Surdak replied. "The two cities are almost connected by portals."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Natasha, smiled at her, and said, "Do you want to go to Ruit City?" Actually, there's nothing wrong with that, but I don't have much time lately, so I guess I'll have to wait until I get back from the Warsaw plane......"

"How long are you going, four years?" Natasha asked, a little nervous.

Surdak shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe it won't be that long, maybe like Duke Newman, I will be entangled by the demon army and can't get out......"
