The free market was forced to close for half a day because merchants went to the door of the forest camp to buy black magic skins.

At the end of the trade on this side of the camp, some merchants bought the black magic skin, and when they left, they happily talked with their companions, some merchants did not buy the selected black magic skin, so they could only retreat to the second, at this time they were a little depressed, and some merchants began to hesitate, and when the decision came down, they found that all the goods, whether good or bad, had been sold out, and they could only stand outside the barracks door in amazement.

There was no imaginary bidding, and the price of all the black magic skins was also very modest, leaving some room for merchants to make profits.

It was the amount of black magic skins sold that made the merchants hesitate a little.

There are too many, and it is not yet known what kind of chain reaction such a large number of black magic skins will bring about when they enter the trading market of the Green Empire......

In the past, there were almost always black devil skins that appeared one by one, but now there were suddenly four thousand more.

This kind of high-grade leather can't be made of magic pattern construction, only some nobles like it, but now there are so many at once, and I don't know if the market demand is so large.

The battle of the Sheep Intestine Canyon completely made this hidden mountain road in the Gandaer Mountains a holy place in the hearts of many adventure groups.

Some adventurous groups who were tired of living in the forest camp heard about the route of action of the Western Route Army, so they began to pack up their salutes, preparing to spend the next half a month walking on the temporarily opened up hillside forest road, and then go to see the canyon that runs through the north and south.

This battle has spread in the mouths of the adventuring group, and the topic of the surprise attack of the Constructed Knights on the Sheep Intestine Canyon has been repeated in the mouths of these people for several days, even the Bena people, who were born in the land of swordsmen, now believe that the role of the Constructed Knights on the battlefield is much greater than that of the Constructed Swordsmen.

However, the most discussed thing is the group of monsters in the Surdak Lord Army, with dark red bodies, hard armor skin, huge teeth, and the powerful ability to move freely through any terrain.

It is said that the warriors in the forest camp called these monsters ant cavalry, and this time they actually shined in the battle of the canyon.

This time, nearly 4,000 ghost soldiers and ants were killed, mainly in the blocking battle at the waterfall pass, the evil ghosts on both sides wanted to open this passage and attack desperately, and the battlefield during the day at that time was able to block those crazy demon warriors, almost filled with the lives of the soldier ants.

Looking at it now, Surdak overrode public opinion and brought out 50,000 soldier ant warriors from the White Forest Plane, which not only suppressed the vitality of the Red Ant Clan in the Dark Worm Valley, but also showed strong combat effectiveness on the battlefield.

……

Selena and Samira, Carrie. The three Decker women planned to take advantage of their free time in the afternoon to visit the free market opposite the tree farm camp.

In the battle of the Sheep Bowel Canyon, Selena's strong strength at the waterfall pass finally allowed her to successfully merge into Samira and Jiali. A small circle of the two Decker.

Surdak also rarely had half a day's leisure, so he ran to the free market with the three women.

At the forest camp, Surdak was never seen in public, so the traders of the free market were even less recognized.

Changed out of the magic pattern structure on his body, but he was wearing the set of salamander leather armor that was already a little old, and Surdak also planned to hire an inscription master to make this set of leather armor into a magic pattern structure, but unfortunately he never found an inscription master who was free, and the matter dragged on until now, this set of salamander leather armor has worn out.

The leather armor already had sesame cracks in many places, and there were several patches stitched together, and it was impossible for Surdak to take out this set of leather armor now, even if the inscriptionist said that he could make a magic pattern structure for Surdak.

Samira also had a set of the same salamander leather armor, which she didn't wear this time.

Three women walk side by side into a bustling free market.

To be precise, this market is a camp set up by merchants on the grass.

To be able to set up some stalls in front of the camp, the camp looks more like a street where food, weapons, armor and groceries are almost everything.

The entrance to the free market is an open-air tavern, and the tables and chairs in this tavern are made of giant tree logs split in half, which looks a little rough, but the table top is not only flat, but even the edges have been ground out with a layer of pulp.

The tavern has only a few very bland ales, and of course light meals and nuts are also available.

From the afternoon onwards, there are quite a few guests here.

Samira bought half a pocket of cat's claw nuts for four silver coins at a small vendor's stall, and as a half-elf, she was still very picky about food, eating only fruit and fish when she could, but she didn't hate nuts either.

Jiali. Decker is used to being extravagant, and when he comes to the market, he asks for a price when he sees something new, and if he likes it, he buys it.

For example, a trumpet made of sharp horns on the head of a demon is engraved with some useless but delicate patterns, and it is also trimmed with gold at the edges to make the horn look very beautiful.

She also bought a woolen shawl that was said to be woven by the local aborigines.

Surdak knew that the tribesmen of the Gandaer Mountains would not weave such woollen shawls, and perhaps the herders of the big meadows would.

Selena bought some beef jerky for Signa and Nika.

This kind of boiled and then cut into pieces to dry, chewing is full of salt, and the texture of beef jerky is by no means hard and dry, there is some fat and moisture in it, and the main reason for keeping them from spoiling is the saltiness of the beef jerky itself.

Signa and Nika usually have a habit of keeping small snacks in their pockets, and even though Nika has become the captain of the medical team, this habit has not changed.

When passing by a grocery stall, Surdak saw that there were actually seven walnut-sized magic cores in the square box placed in front of the stall, and he couldn't help but stop, squatted in front of the square box, and reached out to play with the incomplete magic cores that could only be born by these first-level demonic beasts inside.

There is a small chance that there will be magic crystals in these cores, and some magic crystal fragments can occasionally be solved, so they are not of much value.

The merchants of Handanar County like to gamble on magic cores, but there are only seven left in this box, and at a glance you know that they have been picked up, and the biggest effect of this garbage may be to increase the base of this kind of magic cores, or it can deceive those who are new to gambling on magic cores.

"Do you want to take a gamble? Let me tell you that the quality of my magic cores here is very good, and someone has gambled on three magic crystals in a row with me! These are all dug out of the brains of Mora fish, and the water attribute is ......."

When the stall owner saw the business coming to the door, he sat in front of the stall and chattered.

Surdak pointed to the magic core inside the wooden box and asked casually:

"How much does it cost?"

The stall owner saw that Surdak really had the idea of buying, although his attitude was not so strong, but at least it was a rare opportunity.

Now that the demonic beasts of Gandaer Mountain have almost disappeared, the magic core is becoming more and more difficult to find, and the activity of gambling on the demon core has gradually faded out of people's lives.

If it weren't for the fact that the stall owner's seven magic cores were really ugly, it is estimated that they would not have been kept until now.

The stall owner rolled his eyes, showed a sly smile, and said to Surdak:

"A normal fifty silver coin, I think you should be knowledgeable, and you can sell twenty silver coins, there are so many left, just pick and choose."

Jiali. Decker crouched next to Surdak, his two long legs overlapped, looking particularly beautiful.

"You're still playing this?" Jiali. Decker looked at Surdak with some curiosity.

Surdak fiddled with the black demon core in the box, with a trace of memory in his eyes, and said calmly:

"I played a few times when I was serving in the military here, and my luck was good, so I can say that the first pot of gold brought home from the battlefield was earned from this."

Jiali. Decker asked, somewhat surprised, "......What is inside this thing?" Can you feel it? ”

Surdak didn't speak, but there was a confidence in his eyes. Decker knew the answer.

"Are there any of these?" Jiali. Decker asked.

"There is one, indeed." Surdak replied.

As he spoke, Surdak took out two gold coins from his bosom and threw them in the box, reaching out and touching the seven magic cores.

"Wait, I'll find you sixty silver hammers......"

The stall owner took the two gold coins, carefully put them in his mouth and took a bite, confirming that they were Imperial gold coins, and shouted to Surdak who was about to leave with the magic core with a smile.

Just as the grocery stall owner was leaning in, Surdak saw a copper pot peeking out of his lap, and the whole pot was polished.

There is a round chimney in the middle of the copper pot, and there are two petal-like small lids on the chimney, and there is a ring of pots around it, which is placed next to the stall owner's right leg.

To Surdak's surprise, he actually saw a copper hot pot in the free market.

It's hard to imagine how this unique pot came to be.

Could it be that the gourmets here also have the habit of eating hot pot?

And it just so happened that this kind of pot was developed?

Surdak crouched down in front of the stall again, leaning over and taking the copper hot pot from the stall owner's side.

Unexpectedly, under this copper hot pot, there was actually a replica of the fire gathering magic rune plate.

"How much does this cost?"

"You want to buy this magic self-heating pot?"

The stall owner's eyes lit up.

Then he introduced it seriously:

"This is transported from the imperial capital, and you can also see that it is a magic item itself, if you use it normally, you need to consume magic crystal fragments, and the use experience is very average, there is really no problem with this thing used to cook cereal porridge, but the biggest problem is that it is quite difficult to wash...... As for the price! It's not expensive among magic items, and if you want to buy it, you'll need to give me another gold coin. ”

“……”

Surdak didn't say anything more, and happily threw a gold coin on the stall, picked up the copper hot pot and left.

Not in the mood to continue visiting the market, he brought the copper hot pot back to the camp.

And then spent the whole afternoon in a daze at the command post.

Selena and Samira came back several times, but he remained silent.

……

Surdak sat alone in the command post, with a well-polished copper hot pot on the square table.

The fragments of Ban Bar hidden in the deepest part of his memory gradually became clear, but he didn't dare to stare at those memory fragments for too long, because every time he would have a strong sense of dizziness.

"The last time I saw you with such an expression was when I was in Wall Village." Selena quietly walked up behind him and rubbed his forehead with her hand.

Surdak tilted his head up against Selena, his eyes closed and quietly enjoyed.

"Is it so obvious?" He asked depressedly.

Selena didn't answer directly, but said, "At that time, I thought you might be reminiscing about life on the battlefield......"

"And now?" Surdak opened his eyes and looked at the beautiful and immaculate face in front of him.

"I think you might be homesick!" Selena lowered her head and whispered to him, an unnatural smile on her face.

Surdak was startled, then he got up from his chair and walked outside without looking back, saying as he went:

"I'm going to call Gulitham and Andrew, we're going to eat mutton tonight......"

In fact, there was another sentence stuck in Selena's throat, and she really wanted to say to Surdak, 'Everyone is homesick, homesick, what's the ...... about'

Surdak walked out briskly.

Selena's eyes turned from dark to blue, and in the next second, her eyes became as clear as a lake again.

With a look of helplessness on her face, she folded her hands in front of her chest and prayed earnestly before following Surdak's footsteps out of the command post.

……

News of Surdak's victory at the Goat's Bow Canyon at the Gandhar Mountain Goat's Valley, soon reached the Bena Army headquarters near the city of Handanar.

This battle caused quite a stir among the Bena Legion, which had hardly had any decent victories in the last two years, and the Surdak Lord's Army became famous among the Bena Legion for a while.

It's just a little surprising that the matter was suppressed by Duke Newman, and the news was blocked in Handanar County.

Although there were some people in the legion who discussed it in private, no one mentioned the issue of rewards for the Western Route Army.

According to the Grimm Calendar, this month has entered the last month of the year 2591.

In the winter of 2591, Ryan. Duke Bussman did not survive the New Year, and the nobles of the entire province of Evorson were waiting for news of his death, and he had just breathed his last breath in the castle of Everson, and the news of Duke Ryan's death spread like wings throughout the city.

The news spread as fast as if he was afraid that he would come back to life......

The announcement in the city of Ivorson said that Duke Ryan had died of illness.

But there is also the great magician of Ivorson City who said that Ryan. If Duke Bussman hadn't gone to the imperial capital once after the Battle of the Kempato River, perhaps he would have lived another 80 years.

It wasn't illness and longevity that killed him, but a young magician with a deep connection to the Grimm Empire's royal family.

Finally, when the news of Duke Ryan's death came, news of the Battle of the Goat's Bowel Canyon spread from the city of Handanale as the army of the Burnard Army marched into the area along the Moss River on the border of Kornberg County......
