Now that Surdak had arrived in the city of Bena, it was only natural that he should visit Beatrice's father, the Count of Gopfer.

Beatrice was naturally very happy to hear about this, and the two left the Marquis of Luther's palace in a magic caravan at noon, and walked all the way west along the noble quarter, although the Gopher family's manor was also a relatively luxurious noble manor, but it was still some distance from the Marquis of Luther's mansion.

In the trunk of the magic caravan, Beatrice leaned into Surdak's arms, grinning and telling Surdak about the changes in his brother Harvey in the last two years.

Harvey. Gopfer's leather workshop in the city of Bednar is currently doing well for the hard carapace of the ghostly red ants.

The Gopuffler family has come out of the trough, at least able to maintain the dignity of an old nobleman, it is said that Harvey has recently prepared to buy back the family land, but unfortunately those lands have been sold for decades, and the other party is not short of money, so he has no idea of selling.

As the magic caravan drove into the tree-lined old manor, Surdak found that not only the gate of the manor had been repainted, but also the main road from the gate to the mansion had been re-paved with stone slabs, and the forecourt gardens on both sides of the road had been carefully trimmed to give Surdak a sense of age.

The manor's mansion has also been renovated, although not overhauled, but at least some of the broken bricks have been repaired, the brick joints have been evenly defined with cement, and the red tiles on the roof have been replaced with new ones.

The magic caravan stopped at the entrance of the mansion, and a butler opened the door from the outside, and a group of young nobles and servants waited at the bottom of the steps, and Harvey was standing right in front of the crowd.

Surdak and Beatrice stepped out of the carriage and hugged Harvey, and then Harvey introduced Surdak to the young nobles around him, almost all of whom were members of the Gopuffer family, some of them Harvey's cousins, some of them were minor nobles, and some were just knights.

When they saw Surdak, they all looked at them with curiosity.

Surdak remembers that when he married Beatrice, he didn't know that the Gopuffer family had so many relatives.

Harvey was obviously fat, and his belly propped up the gown.

"Welcome back......"

Harvey smiled at Surdak, and then began to introduce the relatives behind him.

Surdak was dazed, but no one cared.

Walking up the steps, he saw Count Goefer standing in front of the gate of the residence, and Surdak hurriedly took two quick steps, pulled Beatrice to Count Gopher, and gave him a military salute.

Behind him, a group of young nobles were chatting in whispers, but everyone's eyes fell on Surdak.

"Come in and sit down." Although Count Goffeller did not have a smile on his face, his voice was very gentle.

Beatrice was not favored by Count Gopuffer, who once wanted to marry Beatrice to a wealthy merchant or a nobleman with better economic conditions, in order to solve the Gopuffer family's debt crisis, but Beatrice was concerned about Surdak at that time and was unwilling to sacrifice himself for the family.

In fact, this kind of thing was common among the nobility, and Beatrice's rebellion greatly annoyed Count Gopher.

Even now, the relationship between father and daughter is still stiff.

This time Beatrice went home, Count Goffer still didn't give Beatrice a good face, Beatrice just didn't see it, took Surdak's arm and walked into the hall on the first floor of the house, Surdak was by her side, so that Beatrice's heart was much more steady.

The furniture in the living room was still the same, and Count Goefeller asked Surdak to sit beside him, and immediately a row of maids came up with various fruit juices and snacks.

Other young nobles also gathered around, and some of them even sneaked a handful of their little hands or quietly grabbed them on their buttocks when the maids passed by, and they were very frivolous at a young age.

Count Goefeller looked at Surdak carefully for a few moments before he spoke:

"I heard that you led an army to fight on the Warsaw plane?"

Surdak hurriedly said: "That's it! This time, I took advantage of the fact that the fighting in Warsaw had entered a period of stalemate, and only then did I obtain permission from the military headquarters to return to Bena City on family leave. ”

The members of the Gopuffer family looked at each other, many of them had never even heard the word, and it was really rare for a battlefield commander to have a vacation.

At present, there is only one person who dares to do this - and that is Duke Newman.

Harvey sat opposite Surdak and asked with a curious expression:

"Brother-in-law, I heard that you killed a lot of evil ghosts over there in Moyunling?"

Surdak and Beatrice sat side by side on a two-seater leather sofa.

In order to make herself look dignified, Beatrice has a straight waist even if she sits on the sofa......

Surdak leaned back on the cushions of the sofa and replied casually: "I did kill some evil spirits, do you want to do some black devil leather business in your leather factory, I have some resources in this area at present." ”

"The black pattern magic skin involves magic patterns, and my leather workshop does not have a magician, so I can't do this kind of delicate work."

Harvey refused without even thinking about it.

Surdak was a little surprised, and said: "You can take it to the leather dealer to sell, but the current market base of black magic leather is too large, and the price of this thing may be further reduced." ”

"At the moment, the business of wearing armor is very good."

Harvey smiled, a lot of flesh piled up on his face, his eyes almost narrowed into a line, and then he said to Surdak, "If you still have unidentified black crystals in your hand, can you sell me some?" ”

"No identified black crystals?"

"If you want to inherit your father's title, if you don't participate in the plane war, you must pay at least fifty unidentified magic crystals to the empire to keep the earl's title."

Harvey confessed directly.

"I know you've been doing a good job here in Bena City lately, and you should have saved some money in your pocket." After saying this, Surdak glanced at Beatrice before he said, "This time...... Beatrice wanted to talk to me about your title succession, so I'm here to ...... I just brought you some black crystals. ”

After saying that, under the gaze of a group of young nobles of the Goffer family, Surdak took out a small trumpet sealing box from his magic waist bag.

Surdak reached out and lifted the lid of the box, revealing rows of neatly arranged black crystals, almost larger than walnuts.

Although there are black magic crystals that are not marked with the mark of the military logistics department, it means that these black magic crystals have not been officially firmed, and this kind of magic crystal will only be exchanged for merit when it is obtained from the military logistics department.

The other young members of the Gophur family all looked at Harvey with envy, probably envious that he had a good brother-in-law, and he kept his title with just one sentence.

Of course, their distant cousins don't have that kind of treatment.

Many people may have seen the Black Magic Crystal for the first time, and they all gathered around.

Harvey hurriedly hugged this not too big demon sealing box in his arms, casually such a black magic crystal, these magic crystals in the box can almost buy a set of magic pattern construction.

Harvey glanced at Beatrice gratefully, he had a bad relationship with Beatrice, and he didn't expect Beatrice to help him......

Such a large sum of money, Harvey. Gopher thought for a moment and said to Surdak very graciously: "Brother-in-law, I have bought these unidentified black magic crystals. ”

After saying this, Harvey realized that Surdak actually pulled out five large boxes from his magic waist bag in one go.

Placed in front of the sofa, taking up a lot of space, Surdak lifted the lids of these large wooden boxes, the first box contained a stack of salamander leather armor, the lines on the leather jumped back and forth like a flame, it looked exquisite, this fine salamander leather appeared one by one even in the auction house, and now Surdak actually packed a whole box.

The wooden box on the side contained a whole box of green horns on the top of the demon general's head, each of which was almost two feet long, with a slight curvature, the taper was not large, but it was extremely sharp, and this kind of green horn was an excellent material for making curved swords.

The third chest was filled with colorful stones, rough stones of various gemstones, which had not been polished in the first place, and even if they were very transparent, they did not show any value.

The fourth box contained the bone armor of the same demon, which was difficult to assemble a complete set of bone armor.

The set Surdak brought with him was not only complete, but also in very good condition, perfect for hanging in the hallway.

The first five boxes were actually stuffed with a lot of hay, and when Surdak opened the hay inside, a group of young nobles were surprised to find that there were shelves containing potion bottles inside, this bay was only three rows, and it was precisely these three rows of shelves that were almost full of magic potion bottles the thickness of fingers.

In the top row was a whole row of secondary healing potions, which could not heal injuries quickly, but they were life-saving things, and there were twenty of them in a row.

However, the second row of potion bottles was not filled with healing potions, but secondary mental power potions, and there were also twenty bottles.

As for the magic potions on the shelves in the third row, they are pale yellow magic potions of the power of the lion king.

Recently, it is really rare in aristocratic circles to hear that someone will give a secondary healing potion when giving a gift.

How much are these gifts really worth...... None of the people present knew it, but everyone knew that the fifth chest contained magic potions that money couldn't buy.

Even Count Gopuffer, who was sitting on the throne, was a little surprised, and couldn't understand how Surdak suddenly brought out so many boxes......

"You were willing to marry your daughter to me, but I couldn't give any decent gifts at that time, and now I have come back from Warsaw to visit my family, of course, I want to bring some local specialties back, I hope you can like it." Surdak lowered his posture.

Marquis Goefeller nodded slightly, he knew that Surdak was not what it used to be, but he didn't expect Surdak to send such a gift.

"I heard that the battle in the Warsaw plane has entered the final stage?" Count Gopuffer asked.

"Yes, when I return to the Warsaw plane this time, I will launch a general attack on the demon legions on the heights of Moyun Ridge," Surdak said firmly.

"We all know that the Western Route Army has won several victories in the Warsaw plane, and those Bena officers who have returned from Warsaw are often mentioned about you, and I know that saying this may cause you some trouble, but in any case, I still hope that you can pick some young people with some potential to go to the Warsaw plane."

After Count Gopher finished speaking, his gaze looked around just right.

Surdak nodded and promised, "Yes, if they can pass my test, I will take them to the Warsaw plane." ”

The young nobles gathered around let out a series of cheers......

"Dark, what does a demon look like?" Harvey asked with some curiosity, he had just flipped through the entire set of demon bone armor.

Surdak smiled:

"You really want to know? Then come with me to the battlefield and see it. ”

Harvey's face changed, his brows were almost twisted together, and he hurriedly said:

“…… Forget it, I'm having a good time in the city of Bena, I'd rather endure the sour smell of hard armor than go to Warsaw. ”

Surdak leaned back on the sofa and said with a smile: "Did you know that many nobles begged me to take them to the battlefield of the Warsaw plane. ”

Harvey was unmoved, and hurriedly defended: "But those nobles don't include me, and I'm still very self-aware." ”

Surdak smiled and nodded, reached out and patted Harvey's shoulder, and said to him, "You seem to have really grown up, at least you know how to avoid danger." ”

Seeing that Surdak did not continue to ask him to go to the Warsaw plane, Harvey said complacently:

"Yes, in a few months, I will be a father, and it is not appropriate to go out during this period......"

Surdak patted Harvey on the shoulder and said, "Congratulations." ”

Surdak only had one afternoon tea at the Gophur estate and did not stay for dinner, so he left the Gophur estate with Beatrice, who had some complaints.

"Why are you preparing so many gifts! And the box of black magic crystals, Harvey obviously wants to pay for it, why don't you agree? ”

"How much are those gifts worth?"

Along the way, Beatrice was babbling on and over about these things.

Surdak could only put his arm around Beatrice's shoulders and put his hand to her ear and said, "You are not short of money, so why bother with the value of the gift?" ”

"Heaven has sent you and Hathaway to me, it is the greatest gift to me, and I am willing to give some feedback to your relatives for this."

Beatrice's eyes were a little moist, but she was still a little angry.

All along, the thing she hated and hated the most was that Count Goefeller was ready to sell her as if she were a commodity......

Now Surdak clearly wanted to ease her relationship with her family, and she should be grateful, but she felt as if something was blocking her heart.

She rested her head on Surdak's arms and said stingily, "I don't have to please them anymore......"

As the magic caravan drove slowly down the street, Beatrice's heart seemed to be wrapped in warm water, and the harsh sunlight from outside the carriage shone through the glass windows, making her a little dizzy......
