Lord Highlander

Sia, who was wearing a plain long dress, had a hint of pleading on her delicate face.

Every time I see her blue eyes, I think of the sunny sea, the sun, the beach...

I don't know what kind of magic she has cast. The light blue scales on her body have completely disappeared, her skin is delicate, white and smooth, and her fish tail has completely disappeared. She is wearing a thin nightgown, and the outline of her legs can be clearly seen.

Suldak asked with some doubts:

"Sia, what's the matter?"

Sia lowered her head slightly, her long green algae-colored hair was still wet, and some small water droplets were still flowing down from the tip of her hair.

Her long, wet hair clings to her forehead, making her face even more beautiful.

"Viscount Suldak, I can go to Tarapagan with you..." Xi Ya said bravely.

Her imperial language should be learned from Signa, with the unique slang of Hailansa City, when people in other places say "Tarapagan", the ending sound will never rise.

"You want to go on a mission with us?" Suldak asked.

"Yeah!" Xi Ya replied in a positive tone.

Suldak found it a little inconceivable that a Janna mermaid volunteered to go out with him on a mission.

When Suldak said goodbye to Signa and Nika just now, Siya was sitting next to her, and Suldak didn't avoid her. Seeing her knocking on the door and looking for her, he felt a little regretful...

"...This is a matter of the Luthor Legion, it has nothing to do with you!" Standing at the door of the room, Suldak said to Sia: "In addition, this task is also dangerous, and I can't take care of you when performing the task , this is not a simple field experience or adventure..."

Xi Ya stared wide-eyed, and said very seriously: "If necessary, I can join your cavalry battalion, and then I have something to do with it."

Seeing Suldak reaching out to close the door, she quickly squeezed half of her body to the door frame, and said stubbornly: "Do you think I'm a burden? I'm a weaver who graduated from the Seven Realms Sea Witch Academy." Or, with the ability to manipulate water elements, I thought I could help."

She raised her pointed chin, revealing her delicate neck and collarbone.

Suldak scratched his head in distress. He didn't want to discuss with a Janna mermaid whether she was worth...

Suldak said directly:

"If you just want to leave, I can take you to Bena City and give you an airship ticket for Ignace City. I heard that the airport terminal of Ignace City is built on a 100-meter-high sea On the cliff, as long as you arrive at the airport pier, you can jump into the Endless Sea with just a light leap. Of course, you have to figure out how to return to the Seventh Sea, and it is estimated that you will have to swim thousands of kilometers..."

Siya was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't expect Suldak to say that.

Then Suldak added:

"Originally, I thought I would do this when I brought Signa and Nika back to High Lansa City after the weather warmed up. Since you are a little homesick, I can take you to Ignace City this time."

It never occurred to Siya that Suldak had thought of sending her home a long time ago.

However, once the Jana Sea Clan has an obsession in their hearts, they want to complete this matter. For them, this is an equivalent exchange... The Jana Sea Clan does not need charity.

"I want to help you complete a mission and exchange for an airship ticket to Ignace City. I think I need to show my value. Please believe that I can help you." Xi Ya said stubbornly.

"...I believe in your strength, but let's forget about this mission, you don't need to take risks there." Suldak patted Jana's shoulder, unexpectedly her shoulder was so slippery.

He was slightly taken aback, and then calmly withdrew his hand.

Xi Ya was also blushing, and her eyes were a little blurred... The moment the fingertips of that hand touched her shoulder just now, Xi Ya felt an electric shock, as if an electric arc had crawled across her heart, and her whole heart felt a little numb .

Suldak felt that the atmosphere was a bit wrong, and even Selena, who was packing her luggage, looked towards the door.

He hurriedly said: "I can take you back to the city of Bena, and if you do what you say, you can leave Dodan with us tomorrow morning, but this journey will take a week to ride on horseback. Land route, and without access to water, are you sure you can do it?"

"I can."

Xi Ya puffed her mouth, revealing three thin fish gills on the left and right sides of her chin.

Suldak nodded and said, "Well, see you tomorrow morning. I want to use the little time left. Maybe you can say goodbye to Signa and Nika..."

It's obvious that you look down on mermaids! Xi Ya bowed her knees and turned to leave a little depressed...

...

When Suldak returned to the room, Selena had already stepped into the steaming bathtub and sank her body.

Leaning on the pillow next to the bathtub, she picked up a cup of hot milk and drank it in one go.

The winter in Dodan is very cold, and being able to take a bath in the bathtub at home is definitely an addictive treat.

There is only one wall between the washroom and the bedroom. Suldak watched the mermaid lady running back to his room "Teng Tenteng" outside the window, and then turned around and lay down on the big soft and thick bed, with his head resting on his hands and his legs stretched out. Stack the insteps together.

"When I first arrived in the Bailin plane, I heard that Wilkes City is like spring all the year round, so I thought there was no spring in the Bailin plane." Suldak said with a self-mockery.

"It's too far from Wilkes City..." Selena sighed.

The bathroom door was open, and there was no hindrance to the voice of the conversation.

"By the way, Epson and the shoemaker in the tailor shop will send over their modified miner's uniform and anti-smashing shoes tomorrow..." Suldak said.

He thought for a while and then said: "Miner's uniforms must be wear-resistant and strong. In addition, the price must be low. After all, it is an order of several thousand sets. In the future, it will be made in winter and summer and distributed once a year. Last time There are no hanging buckles for mining picks, chisels, ropes, and kettles on the sample belt, I asked him to take it back and change it, this time you should focus on the improvements in these areas."

"The requirements for anti-smashing shoes are a little more stringent. I require stones the size of a washbasin to hit the upper of the shoe without hurting the feet. And the shoes should not be too heavy. The last time the sample was smashed by me, since we have Such a good hard armor leather material, if the leather shoemaker still can't make it this time, I will take this batch of orders to Bena City."

"Also, I entrusted Malacombe to buy a batch of mining picks mixed with lapis lazuli. When the goods arrive, you have someone use a file to sharpen the pickaxes twice. If you still file twice, the iron filings will fall off. Throw it back to him."

"It is said that I don't need to make uniform clothing for the miners, let alone custom-made leather shoes for them. In fact, these are needed sooner or later, which can make the mine form a certain centripetal force and a sense of superiority."

The sound of watering came from the bathroom, and after it subsided, Selina said:

"I know, the tailor shop owner and the leather shoemaker are complaining everywhere because of your strict requirements. If it weren't for the large order quantity and the profit for each miner's uniform and each pair of shoes, I think they would probably run away. .”

Selena couldn't help laughing when she thought of how Suldak threw the miner's uniform at the feet of the tailor shop owner yesterday, and they were silent.

Suldak sighed and said: "The requirements are a bit harsh, but it is also a kind of improvement for them. They don't want to stay in Dodan Town for the rest of their lives, so they have to find a way to get out of here. Then this One step is inevitable."

Selena changed the subject: "The mermaid lady wants to leave here with you, will there be any trouble?"

Suldak snorted: "The Luthor Legion doesn't even have this privilege on the Bailin plane, so what about garrisoning, I will bring her to Bena City safely."

Selena said casually: "I'm just worried that you will be in trouble. Originally, the relationship between you and the aristocratic circle of Wilkes City was a little tense. According to the laws of the Green Empire, every citizen cannot help slaves who have escaped. Slaves who fled outside have to report to the local security team, when you take Xiya through the portal of Wilkes City, try to be careful, so as not to be discovered by them."

"I know..." Suldak said, "Don't worry... Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't care about this kind of thing. It's just that you can help when you meet. You can also see that Siya, Signa and Nika have become good friends. , just because she is Signa's friend, I can't just sit by and watch."

"It's just... I can't go to Ignace City, so I can only send her to the magic airship, and give the captain some money, and I should be able to send her back to the sea safely."

"It's pretty pitiful when you think about it. She lives in Dodan Town, just like us living alone on a desert island!"

"Okay." Selina said.

There was the sound of rushing water next door, probably because Selena stood up from the bathtub...

...

In the early morning, there was still a faint mist around Dodan Town.

The withered and yellow grass in the distance could not be seen, and even the construction site of the Warrior Academy not far away became blurred under the mist.

A thin layer of mist clings to the surface, becoming thinner as it goes up.

Samira rode on a Guborian horse, and waited by the bridge at the entrance of the town with the two-headed ogre Gullitum. Although they had two bodies, they were chatting with three people. Most of the time, Gullit Tem and Brain Flower Brothers are both constantly raising arguments, as if quarrels have become part of their lives.

Suldak was a little curious. Gullitum found an ogre partner in the future. Could it be that the four of them got together and quarreled...

Great Swordsman Chester was a little surprised to see two people following behind Suldak.

"This is Magician Victor from the Hailansa Magical Union. He is accompanying us and is preparing to return to the Hailansa Magical Union."

"This is Miss Siya from the Jana Sea Clan. She will return to Bena City with us, and will transfer to the magic airship to go to Ignas."

Suldak introduced to Chester Great Swordsman.

Great Swordsman Chester nodded politely to Victor. He glanced at Miss Mermaid and had some other thoughts in his mind, so he whispered to Suldak: "How can there be Janna in Dodan Town?" Sea Clan...Dark, you really can always bring some surprises."

Suldak smiled without any excuse.

...

This road is basically riding a horse during the day and resting at night.

In order to be able to take care of Victor and Miss Mermaid Sia, Chester Swordsman did not choose to camp in the wild, but stayed in hotels in towns along the way as much as possible.

In fact, there is nothing to describe this large grassland in the winter field of the Bailin Plane. The further south you go, the less snow covers the grassland. When the group arrived at the outskirts of Wilkes City, the grassland here was still slightly pale It is cyan, not all withered and yellow.

And Wilkes City is also much warmer, so there is no need to wear thick cotton clothes.

When entering the city, the Great Swordsman Chester rode his horse directly across the suspension bridge over the moat at the north city gate, and the guards at the city gate stood up straight and saluted the Great Swordsman Chester.

Sia was wearing a set of magician's black robes at this time, with a thick hood on her head.

Victor is also dressed in this way, but his hood is opened, and he wears a magic badge on his chest, with a serious face.

A group of people including Samira and the two-headed ogre Gullitum passed through the city gate without any inspection by the guards.

The water in the moat here didn't even freeze, there was no wind, and there wasn't even a wave.

The great swordsman Chester did not return to the military headquarters, but directly brought Suldak and his party to the central square of the city.

...

The streets of Wilkes City are very lively, filled with all kinds of cries, and the aroma of fried food wafts far along the street, fried chicken, fried fish, French fries...

With a tall body of more than three meters, the ogre stood in front of the fried chicken stalls. He was wearing heavy mail armor and iron plate armor pieces. He inevitably made clanking sounds when he walked, which scared those who were queuing up to buy. The fried chicken citizens dispersed one after another.

The stall owner looked at the two-headed ogre with a ferocious face in front of him with a mournful face, unable to speak at all.

The ogre's voice sounded like a drum, and he asked the shop owner very patiently, "How much is a fried chicken?"

"One...one...one...a silver coin..." the stall owner stammered.

The ogre Gulitum made some calculations, took out a golden coin from the gap in his belt under his belly, threw it to the shop owner and said loudly, "Then I'll buy forty of them..."

After speaking, he smiled and said to Naohuaer beside him: "You can eat twenty, and I can eat twenty. It shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Only when talking about eating, the ogre brothers will not quarrel, and they can easily agree.

"...Two!" At this moment, the stall owner suddenly said another sentence.

"Two for what? I want to buy forty. He... he's twenty... I'm twenty!" the ogre Gulitum yelled at the stall owner.

"One silver coin...two!" The stall owner, who was sweating profusely from fear, finally spoke out in full.

Putting fried whole chickens into cloth bags, packing, packing, the stall owner stopped in embarrassment.

The two-headed ogre looked at Suldak's group who had already entered the central square, and urged the stall owner: "Hurry up, I'm in a hurry!"

"Only... thirty-two pieces of fried chicken..." the stall owner said frightenedly.

Gulitum looked at the fat chickens piled up next to the oil pan, and asked, "Aren't there any more over there?"

"Those... just oiled once, not yet cooked." The stall owner was not so flustered when he realized that the ogre was actually reasonable.

Gulitham waved his hands again and again, and shouted, "Put it on quickly, I don't have time to wait..."

After the stall owner packed the fried chicken, he picked up the cloth bag and chased after Suerdak, ignoring the stall owner...

The stall owner yelled loudly from behind: "Customer, I haven't given you any change..."

Gullitum rushed forward without looking back.

Nao Hua'er turned to the stall owner and said loudly, "The rest is a tip!"

This stall owner was probably the first time he met a local tyrant who tipped more than chicken money. He took out the gold coin that was tightly held in his hand, put it in his mouth, and took a bite. The back view of the devil's departure... actually has mixed feelings.
