Then there was the dinner, which was well prepared and full of local characteristics of Dar es Salaam. Surdak saw the lizard halfway, but it didn’t appear on the dining table. There was a worm mustard soup, and Gensoul Dadak remembered it vividly. Leftovers were common, but there were also many delicious things, such as cheese beef pie, seabuckthorn juice and so on.
After accepting Kerry’s hospitality, Surdak and his party were arranged to stay in the biggest hotel in the city for one night. Surdak was exhausted and almost fell asleep in bed.
It’s already three hours after I woke up, I got out of bed, took a hot bath in the bathroom, dressed myself and looked in the mirror. The young and strong man with blond hair and blue eyes was actually inexplicable and unrealistic.
Surdak is going to the building to see if the hotel can still have some breakfast at this time. Although it’s almost noon, he needs a bowl of oatmeal and white bread to fry eggs. As soon as he pushed the door, he saw the hotel waiter look at it carefully in the corridor.
The waiter reconfirmed it before coming to Surdak and carefully asked, "Excuse me, are you Knight Surdak?"
"It’s me!" Surdak corridor with the door.
When the waiter heard that Surdak had a foreign accent, he deliberately slowed down his speech and said slowly, "Lord Owen Constantine and Colonel Brett have told me that if you wake up, you must let them know-as if they want you to talk about the knight, can I tell them your whereabouts?"
Surdak didn’t expect someone to note that he thought it should not be a malicious tracking, otherwise the waiter wouldn’t have told himself so.
He said cheerfully, "Of course it should be nothing!"
Hearing Surdak say this, the waiter was very happy and bowed to Surdak. "Thank you, knight."
Surdak nodded slightly at the waiter, crossed him and thought in his heart,’ This waiter will probably get two small ones! Will be so happy …’
Then Surdak thought about breakfast again, stopped and turned to ask the waiter, "Oh, do you still have breakfast at this time?"
"Breakfast has been suspended, my Lord knight, but you can still order afternoon tea at this time!" The waiter one leng horse replied
"Well …"
Surdak nodded again and turned away from the hotel corridor.
……
In the restaurant of the hotel building …
"I’m not going to join us? I think maybe … "
Bright, head of the shining adventure group, sat in the restaurant and sincerely said to Surdak
Surdak was struggling with cream cake and fresh milk matcha in front of him. He wiped his lips and looked up and said to Bright.
"No need. When I retired from the army and wanted to go back to my hometown for a while, too many companions died on the battlefield … I want to go back to Hailanza together, but it’s a pity that I can come back this time."
Bright said regretfully, "Well, if you want to join the adventure group, you might as well give priority to our shining adventure group. I can give you the best treatment if you like."
Probably he wanted to ask Surdak to give up the cabin before, which made the first meeting between them not so pleasant.
Surdak took a sip of fresh milk matcha and said quietly, "It’s really unnecessary."
"all right! I hope you can change your mind at any time, "Bright said with some frustration.
Then he signed another note and handed it to Surdak. He said seriously, "This is the temporary address of Bena Province, our shining adventure group. If you want to find us, you can send a letter here. Sometimes we will reply to you when we go to France, but I will definitely reply to you when I receive it …"
……
"Thank you for your help. I owe you one. If there is anything I can do, please come to Constantinople, Nayong City."
The magic airship named Michael Owen, the silver knight, said to Surdak like this
A week later, the magic airship successfully arrived in Bena City, Bena Province.
Chapter 21 Love Be Brave
Naxing province is known as the hometown of the Green Empire swordsmen.
At first, Duke Bena, who followed five heroes to create the Great Sword of the Green Empire, was buried in the southernmost foothills of the Pagros Mountains outside Bena, saying that there was a dragon slayer-Quelcera hidden in the tomb of Duke Bena.
Bena City is located at the southernmost tip of Pagros Mountain, which runs through three provinces, and the Imperial Capital of Green Empire is located at the northernmost tip of this mountain. You can reach the Imperial Capital of Green Empire by flying along this mountain to the north by magic airship.
There are tall scarecrows in the golden wheat fields everywhere outside Bena. These scarecrows have curved sickles in their hands, pumpkin skulls on their heads and worn-out straw hats on their heads. When the wind blows, the wheat fields will dance with the wind like a group of wheat cutters.
Declined the invitation of Knight Owen to share a carriage, and Suldak led the horse out of the ticket office of Bena Port Terminal for a while. Finally, he couldn’t help but run over and ask the uncle who sold the tickets if he had arrived at the airship in Hailansa City.
The uncle with a gray beard nodded with satisfaction when he saw Surdak wearing a leather armor costume and a long sword of a reformed knight, and said to his young colleagues, "You should walk around with a long sword like this when you are young. This is the color of our Bena swordsmen!"
The bearded middle-aged uncle sat together and gave the young man a white middle-aged uncle a very dismissive look. "Is this your so-called swordsman spirit? But the somebody else is a knight … "
Middle-aged uncle suddenly coughed for two times, and Surdak said to him impatiently, "It will be two weeks before the magic airship flies to Hailanza."
The middle-aged uncle who sold tickets smiled again and said to Surdak, "Ride your horse all the way along the southwest road and run faster. It won’t be ten days before the airship is about to set sail, and you will be lying at home drinking hot cream corn soup."
Surdak was startled and refused to sell tickets, but let himself ride a horse by land to Hailan Sa City.
The middle-aged uncle who sold tickets patted the wooden square table and said to Surdak, "Listen to me, I can’t go wrong. The river is full of green grass all the way to Hailansa, and I will never find grass to feed your horses. There are many rural hotels along the way. You can find a comfortable rest for one night and you will never delay your return home. Don’t wait for the magic airship."
"If you always do this, we will lose a lot of business." The young man couldn’t help but wake up.
Middle-aged uncle touched his bald head and said casually, "Knight! Of course, ride a horse to feel the world! "
"Come on …"
The young man aside obviously didn’t buy it and retorted.
In the quarrel between the two men, Surdak rode out of the port.
……
He didn’t follow the middle-aged uncle’s direction to Hailansa City, but followed the crowd all the way into the bustling Bena City. There is a 20-meter-wide moat outside the city. Stone piers are erected on both sides of the stone bridge from the river. Each stone pier has a statue of a swordsman. Each statue has a small stone tablet with the dates of birth and death of these heroes and an overview of their life stories.
The knight badge on Surdak’s chest made him pay the population tax when he went to town.
The guards at the city gate wake up. Riding is strictly forbidden in most streets in Surdak. If the knights of the guard camp in the city see it, it is impossible to pay the fine. If people are hurt again, it is not a little fine that can be solved.
Thanks to Surdak for waking the gate guards in good faith.
After entering Bena City, I found that Bena City is more active than Walson City, which is lifeless. Many buildings along the street can always be rebuilt. The wooden frame workers transport stones and gravel to Gaotai, and the masons cooperate quite tacitly. This is a vibrant city, and even the pedestrians are full of cheerful rhythm.
Almost all shops along the street will put some benches for guests to rest temporarily on the sidewalk, and even waiters will greet passers-by’ Do you want to stop and rest in the maple sugar lemon tea shop …’
Surdak walked through this long street, and at least a dozen vendors sold him all kinds of seasonal fruits and vegetables. He sent a handful of popcorn directly to Gubolaima’s mouth. The horse rudely lifted its lips and stuck out its tongue. In the mouth of a handful of corn rolls, Surdak had to pay the bill for this stupid horse, and directly bought a bag of corn flowers. Surdak led Gubolaima to eat people and horses while walking.
Surdak first found a blacksmith’s shop, spent a silver coin to nail four brand-new horseshoes for Gu Bolai’s horse, and bought four bread sticks and half a pocket of buttered bread in the bakery on the street. Then he went to the cooked meat shop to buy some sausages and a fruit stand to buy a bag of oranges. Surdak put all these in his magic pocket and sighed that the magic pocket is really a good thing while asking passers-by where there is a magic grocery store …
