Lord Highlander

Bena City

night comes

The street lights of each street are like a string of bright pearl necklaces hanging on the chest of a beautiful woman in black gauze. Countless lights light up the city, and Bena City shows everyone the prosperity of the night.

The night wind is slightly cold in early spring.

Aphrodite stood in front of the railing on the third-floor terrace of a restaurant in the city center of Benar, looked at the busy Central Street, and held Samira's arm excitedly.

The news of the victory of the Maca plane injected a bit of vitality into the city. When Suerdak came to Bena City last time, the city was not so lively at night.

I don't know how many business groups have heard the news of victory and poured into Bena City from all over.

Aphrodite sighed for no reason: "Now I finally understand why King Amozdan always misses Roland Continent. This is really a paradise on earth."

She had just drank a little ale, and her dark gray face was flushed, and her eyes were like autumn lakes.

"Hello……"

Suldak reluctantly wanted to remind Aphrodite that if she always talked about the flame hell and the sinful demon king Amozdan, something would happen sooner or later.

"Okay, I get it, try not to say such things in the future!" Aphrodite smiled with her sexy lips.

Although separated by a layer of black veil, Suldak found that the smile on her face was even more alluring under the half cover.

Suldak regretted a bit, he was really a little too bold this time, and brought a succubus back to Hailansa, and he didn't know what kind of trouble she would cause, so he really wanted to bring her a A mask that completely covers the face.

Aphrodite's clear pupils reflect Suldak's distressed expression. For a succubus, she can not only charm and hypnotize, she can also read Suldak's thoughts from his expression .

Aphrodite glanced at the scenery outside the street indifferently, and sighed softly: "The night scenery here is so beautiful..."

The sexy lips under the black veil raised slightly inadvertently, he is really an upright knight!

Several magicians walked through the corridor of the restaurant on the third floor, and walked upstairs under the leadership of two waiters. Aphrodite quickly put away the smile on her face, stood by the railing, and turned her body back very naturally. She only gave those magicians a vague back view. She still maintained a deep guard against human magicians. The two black magicians who won the trust of King Amozdan left a deep impression on her up.

"It's getting late, we should go back!" Suldak said, looking at the bell tower hidden in the night in the distance.

There is a flame burning on the pointer on each dial of the tall clock tower, which allows people to see the approximate time even at night.

Suldak was about to walk down the stairs next to the terrace on the third floor of the restaurant when he suddenly saw an acquaintance standing at the door of the restaurant...

...

Jin Xi stood at the entrance of the restaurant. He was wearing a light ivory leather armor and his leather shoes were polished.

He tried to force a smile on his face, to make himself look more humble, and stood on the steps of the restaurant, looking in and out of the lobby.

A group of young nobles came out of the hall. Da Jinxi's eyes fell on the young man in the middle. The young man was surrounded by other young nobles. His face was so sophisticated that his age did not match. Da Jinxi took out his handkerchief Wipe the fine sweat from his forehead.

The early spring in Bena City was not as hot as Wojmara City, but his forehead was still covered with sweat.

Merlin. Viscount Newman and a group of friends walked through the lobby and came out of the restaurant. The waiter standing at the door of the restaurant opened the door earlier, and the magic caravan waiting outside stopped at the door of the restaurant first. Pull the carriage door open in front of the attendant.

Merlin was whispering to a friend beside him. He was standing beside the carriage, and he was not in a hurry to get into the carriage.

As a direct member of the Newman family in the province of Bena, Merlin is the seventeenth heir in line. He has no magical talent, and he is unwilling to take the path of knighthood and rely on military exploits to exchange for a title.

Unless the Newman family suffered an unprecedented catastrophe, the position of the Duke of Bernard would not be his turn anyway.

But in that case, the chances of him surviving are quite slim.

So he put himself in the right shape very early, took advantage of his status in the family, and started to work for the family early after graduation. His smartness and humility made him well received by the noble circles in Bena City, and he was optimistic and positive. The mentality of doing things also makes other heirs in the family jealous of him.

Of course, the main reason is that the ranking is too low, and there is no threat to others at all.

The other young nobles were at the entrance of the restaurant, waving goodbye to Merlin Newman one after another. They would not go home so early, and they were looking for more exciting shows at night in twos and threes.

"Merlin, are you going to Vadser City tomorrow?" The friend stood at the door of the magic caravan and asked Merlin.

The young viscount nodded and said to his friend: "Well! I'm going to see Earl Angus Newman, he is a branch of the family, and his great-grandfather is my great-great-great-great-grandfather, the 30th in the province of Bena Seven dukes."

"It seems that the relationship is a bit far away. What is worth going in person?" The friend asked curiously.

Merlin smiled faintly, knowing what his friend was thinking, and said, "It's nothing too important, that is, the trade relations in some families need to be re-established, and a series of concessions will be made here. It is not easy to intervene in the Newman family's business from the side of Bena City. So many lords in the city, big and small, are staring at that piece of cake, and they are almost about to steal their heads. It is better to think about it from Angus. Method."

The friend's eyes lit up, and he asked in a low voice: "What's the reason, so that the general in your family is willing to share a piece of cake with Earl Angus Newman? The city of Vadser is a remote place in the province of Bena, right? "

Merlin did not hide anything from this friend, and revealed some inside information: "Of course Earl Angus Newman is not worthy of our investment, but his favorite daughter Shirley, also my distant aunt, is a magician... "

The friend said a little incomprehensibly: "I guess...the magicians serving the Newman family can almost form a group of magicians?"

Merlin shook his head, looked at his friend meaningfully, and said, "Aunt Shirley is different. She is currently studying at the Imperial Academy of Magic."

"Although high-achieving students from the Royal Academy of Magic are rare, they are not uncommon in Bena Province. Doesn't the Magic Union have two places every year?" The friend was even more confused.

Merlin pressed his friend's shoulder and let him listen to himself: "Of course not only that, she met another young genius magician at the Royal Academy of Magic, and the relationship between the two developed very quickly. They were actually engaged a month ago. It is reported that the young magician aristocrat is the second in line heir to the Mensa family. If there is no accident, my Aunt Shirley will be the Marquis when she gets married. If there is any accident, maybe in the next few decades, she will become the mistress of the province of Palestina."

"This...is really lucky!" The friend widened his eyes and let out a low cry.

Merlin smiled triumphantly: "Otherwise, Bena City has been so busy recently, how could it be possible for me to make a special trip to Vadser?"

The two stood at the door of the restaurant and chatted, and they were not in a hurry to leave by car. Da Jinxi, who had been waiting by the side, lost his patience. Seeing that the restaurant waiter didn't notice him, he walked in front of Merlin in a few steps. He bent down and said to Viscount Merlin Newman:

"Master Viscount, I am Ferdinand Kinsey, a businessman from Wojmara City on the plane of Maca, you..."

Merlin recognized Kinsey at a glance, and he was deeply impressed by this slave trader, but this time... this place... was not the time to meet someone like him. Although Merlin was running some gray business, he was also Be careful all the time, after all, the Newman family cannot be tarnished by such things.

Merlin looked at Da Jinxi in surprise and anger, and scolded him: "How did you businessmen find here? There is a special affairs officer in charge of the Maca plane, and it is useless for you to find me."

Da Jinxi had been looking for an opportunity to meet this Viscount Merlin. When he saw the Viscount Merlin, he found the indifference in the other party's eyes. It's all in his pocket.

Big Kinsey felt that maybe Viscount Merlin Newman had forgotten about the small deal, and he needed to remind himself, so he quickly said, "No, you booked fifty people from me..."

Before Da Jinxi finished speaking, Merlin rushed to interrupt Da Jinxi's words, and told a knight servant beside him: "Knight Leon, go and have a good chat with this businessman Ferdinand Kinsey. , I'm in a hurry..."

"Yes, Lord Viscount!" The knight retinue said respectfully, and then used his body to separate Merlin from Da Jinxi. Viscount Merlin Newman hurriedly boarded the magic caravan, and greeted the coachman, The magic caravan drove away from the entrance of the restaurant.

The Lyon knight asked Da Jinxi with a cold face: "...Ferdinand Jinxi, you can tell me if you have anything, and I will help you pass it on to Lord Viscount!"

Looking at the restaurant waiters who hurriedly gathered around, Da Jinxi knew that if he didn't leave, he would probably be chased away roughly by those restaurant waiters, so he quickly said: "...It's nothing important, I just had a whim ..."

Turning around, he left the restaurant disheartened...

Standing on the third floor of the restaurant, Suerdak happened to see Da Jinxi's embarrassment.

"Da Jinxi seems to have encountered some trouble..." Suldak said to Samira beside him.

Samira curled her lips and said disdainfully, "What trouble can a slave trader have?"

"It seems to have encountered a group of kobold slaves that cannot be sold!" Aphrodite probed, looked at Da Jinxi who quickly walked across the long street and disappeared into an alley, and spoke to Sulda in standard imperial language. K said.

Samira pressed the quiver on her waist behind her back, and said casually:

"Victory in the war of planes, there will probably be bigger business waiting for him on Vozmara's side, so the business here is going to be dealt with as soon as possible!"

The four of them walked out of the restaurant while talking.

Suldak had some ideas of his own. He chose the knights at a volcano at the southern end of the Pagros Mountains. The main reason was that there was a sulfur mine hidden on the mountainside of the 'pustule' volcano, and the rocky area at the foot of the mountain The sulfur mine is mined by the villagers of Wall Village. The reserves of the sulfur mine are very limited, and it will be mined in about two months. This has no impact on the villagers of Wall Village.

But if the villagers of Wall Village are allowed to develop sulfur mines, the poisonous gas emitted from the sulfur mines and the huge dangers contained in the scorching volcanic magma are like a sharp sword hanging above the villagers' heads that may fall at any time. Humans belong to the lowest-end existence among sub-human races, and their status in people's eyes is even lower than that of murlocs, so if they are bought back to be miners, it seems to be nothing.

The only problem is how to transport the bought kobold slaves back to Wall Village, High Lansa City, but... Big Kinsey seems to say that he has a magic airship.

The residence of the succubus Aphrodite, Suldak did not choose the hotel where the Hailansa guard camp is located, he found a small hotel for the succubus Aphrodite next to this hotel However, because the two have an equal magic contract, they can feel each other's existence at the spiritual level, so Suldak didn't keep Samira at the small hotel.

Leaving the small hotel, I saw the succubus Aphrodite pushing open the window of the room, leaning out half of her body and waving at the three of them.

Her voice wasn't too loud, but Suldak could hear it clearly: "Come early tomorrow, I want to stroll around the city of Bena..."

When we got back to the hotel, the ogre was already sleeping soundly in the stable. Half of the horses in the stable were crowded on the other side of the stable. The ogre's four legs trembled from the sound of the ogre's snoring. With one hand on the manger, he didn't realize it.

Seeing the ogre sleeping in the stable, Suldak went directly to the groom of the hotel and asked how to arrange the ogre in the stable. After all, the ogre is also a non-staff member of the security camp. During the day, Suldak remembered that Karl wanted to build a pergola by the pool in the yard.

When the groom in the hotel heard Suldak asking him this, he also had a mournful face, and said to Suldak very aggrieved: "This ogre warrior walked into the stable by himself, and he said he liked to smell it." The smell of horsemeat in the stables."

Seeing that Suldak was speechless, and the anger on his face turned into embarrassment, the groom took the opportunity to say: "Master Knight, look at the horses I take care of, they are too frightened to eat, can you persuade you?" Comrades, let him come out to sleep..."

"It's...it's so late today, it's not very good to toss everyone up, I think we'll talk about this matter tomorrow, and I'll ask Gullitum for his opinion tomorrow morning, he is a very talkative cannibal Demon, don't be afraid of him, he basically doesn't eat people very much, and is willing to reason..." Suldak said to the trembling groom.

Seeing the groom who was about to pee in fright, he quickly turned around and ran upstairs.
