Chapter 691 680. Relationship

  The office is well lit, and the sidewalk across the street can be seen through the glass windows. Most passers-by in a hurry lower their heads and put their hands in their coat pockets.

  This office is not very big, there are only two desks. Hathaway's desk is next to the window, and Beatrice's desk is placed at the door.

There was no sofa in the room, so Surdak sat on the chair opposite the desk and looked at the layout of the room. There was only one glass window in the room, and the white gauze curtains on both sides of the window were covered with delicate hollow patterns. There are official letters piled up on it like a hill, which is a bit messy.

   Hathaway was pulled in front of her by Sulda.

She put her blond hair on top of her head, wearing a tube skirt and a lace shirt, looking smart and capable, and also set off her slender waist and upturned breasts, holding her soft slender waist, looking up at her blue eyes , she was born as a swordsman with an extremely well-proportioned figure, with a faint scent of perfume on her body.

   Hathaway took the tea cup handed over by Beatrice.

  He took a sip of warm black tea.

   "When did you arrive?" Hathaway leaned on her desk and asked Suldak.

"Yesterday, I went to the magic market to complete some transactions. I'm sorry I didn't come to see you immediately." He took her light-white fingers, and the fingers were intertwined. Her nails were painted with beautiful nail polish, both light and dark. They have completely different skin tones, and the skin on the palms of their hands is so delicate.

"Miss you!"

   Hathaway hugged Suldak and said.

  With his arms wrapped around his neck, a faint sweet scent rushed into his nose.

  Beatlit also reported from behind Suldak, and the three of them looked like human-shaped sandwiches.

   "I miss you too..."

  When Suldak said these words, his heart jumped a few times, and something in his heart seemed to break through the moral cage.

It wasn't until someone frequently passed by the door of the office and smiled politely, and then their eyes would always fall on Suldak, that Hathaway restrained her inner joy and took the initiative to separate. She didn't want to be treated like a bully. The demonic beasts in the animal farm watched wantonly.

  Suldak asked the two, "Why do you suddenly want to work in the Foreign Affairs Bureau?"

  Hathaway stretched, sat down on the chair opposite the desk, and said slowly: "You have to find something to do for yourself, so that life won't be so boring."

   Beatrice and Hathaway huddled together, and said in a slightly complaining tone: "I haven't heard from you all winter. Didn't you say that you went to the desert to clear up the sand pirates?"

Suldak nodded, and said casually: "I killed some desert robbers and robbed some of their war horses. I lived in the desert for almost 50 days before returning to Wall Village, and then rushed back to Bena City without stopping. .”

He didn't mention the matter of meeting Harvey Gefiro yesterday, and took out two delicate silver knives from his arms and handed them to Hathaway and Beatrice. The scabbards were inlaid with red, blue and green gemstones. It looks gorgeous.

   "Is this a gift for us?" Beatrice asked happily, holding the silver knife and comparing it with Hathaway.

  Suldak nodded and said, "The booty I snatched from the Sand Bandit is not bad, so I'll bring it here for you."

Hathaway looked through it carefully, took it to her mouth and smelled it, and found that there was no peculiar smell, pulled out the knife, saw fine lines of gold on the blade, and said while admiring: "It's a good gift, I have to give it a try. The words are so bloody... Hey, the blade of this knife seems to be mixed with pure gold!"

  There is no mark on the knife, and it was snatched back from the robbers. The origin of these two delicate knives cannot be found out. Fortunately, the two women like it very much.

   "Do you want to visit the environment where I work?" Hathaway asked Suldak with a smile.

   "Okay!" Suldak said.

Seeing that the colleagues from the Foreign Affairs Bureau were particularly curious about Suldak, Hathaway simply took Suldak to stroll around the garden courtyard behind the Foreign Affairs Bureau, and introduced the surrounding buildings to him. The three of them stood side by side. Walking in the arched corridor covered with ivy, the low wall of shrubs in the courtyard has just spit out buds, and there is a faint fragrance of tree oil in the air.

   "It looks pretty good here." Looking at the clear and clean office building, Suldak praised.

  The architecture of Bena City is indeed much more atmospheric than that of Hailansa Mountain City.

   It didn't take long to hear the crisp and melodious bells on the top of the building, and the bells startled a group of pigeons that had rested on the bell tower.

  When the bell rings, it means that the lunch break has begun. The lunch break for municipal and public officials in Bena City is about two hours. Many people don’t like to work in the afternoon and will choose to work half-day.

   "It's time to go..." Beatrice couldn't wait to pull Suldak towards the gate of the Foreign Affairs Bureau.

The Luther family's carriage was parked by the side of the road. Hathaway and Beatrice boarded the magic caravan, and they were completely relaxed. The bold Beatrice even pulled up her long skirt a little and straddled her On Suldak's legs, hugging his neck, soft lips were printed on him, making Suldak feel how hot her heart was.

  The magic caravan did not stay in place, but slowly merged into the traffic on the street.

  The scenery outside the window kept moving backwards, so Suldak asked, "Where are we going this afternoon?"

  Hathaway and Beatrice looked at each other, then looked out of the window, Hathaway said: "I haven't decided yet, let's go, let's find a restaurant to eat something."

"I know that there is another good restaurant opened on the street next to the east gate of Newman Castle. This year, iced fish is popular in the Grimm Empire, and the fish in that restaurant is pretty good." Beatrice said to Sulda K recommended.

In fact, Suldak doesn’t really want to eat fish. In the Grimm Empire, fish seems to be the favorite food of the elves and the Naga Sea tribe. The imperial people prefer whole wheat bread, cheese, broth, vegetable salad, etc. With that, the life of commoners is simpler, and scones and porridge are essential things in life.

  Especially the Mora fish hanging in Sander's butcher shop, which looks like a combination of ghost knife fish and octopus. Even if he knew that eating this kind of fish would enhance the body's resistance to water elements, Suldak didn't have much interest.

   "Then let's try it there today." Suldak agreed, he didn't want his personal preferences to dampen Beatrice's interest.

I used to look at the castle in the city of Bena from a distance. I only felt that the Newman Castle located in the northern city was very majestic. Now that I drove to the ring road outside the castle wall, I realized that the castle is bigger than what I saw in my eyes. There are many, and the outer wall alone is nearly 20 meters high. If it is in other places, a 20-meter-high building can almost build a five-story building, but here there are only three floors.

  The windows on the outer wall are all small, which are convenient for looking out and shooting arrows. It is impossible for adults to get out of such windows.

  The castle is built like a hill with countless buildings. The high roof has a Gothic style, which makes people stand under the castle, and a sense of awe is naturally raised in their hearts.

One side of the ring road outside the castle is a high wall, and the other side is a river bank. The whole castle is surrounded by clear river water. On the other side of the river, there are some shops opened by nobles. This is the center of Beicheng District, and the shops here only accept nobles. , and the prices are at least twice as high as those in civilian areas. Of course, the services they enjoy are absolutely different.

   This restaurant is very new, and the dishes it makes are not better than other high-end restaurants, but the location of the restaurant is just across the river bend, and the outside view is very good. Sitting by the window of the restaurant, you can just enjoy the panoramic view of Newman Castle.

  Suldak ate the last piece of fish on the plate, thinking that if he had the chance, he could bring Samira here to taste it.

He put down the knife in his hand, took a sip of rum, and looked out the window at an arched stone bridge two hundred meters away. It was very lively over there, with pairs of knights on horses and vehicles full of supplies flocking to and fro. Drive over the bridge without stopping.

  Suldak asked curiously: "Why is it so lively over there?"

Hathaway walked up to him, followed his gaze towards that side, and explained to Suldak: "The defense was changed at the beginning of the year, and there are probably a lot of supplies and troops going to various private planes every day, and there are also people from the planes. Returning to the army for a rest, that bridge is one of the main roads connecting the inner gardens of the Castle of Bena, and of course it is more lively than other places."

Suldak still remembered that the expedition to the Maca plane was in a square, and there was a portal made of dragon bones in that square, which was very shocking visually, so he asked: "When we went to the Maca When I was in the plane, it seemed to be in a square, and I don’t remember walking across this bridge.”

"Many planes, including the Bailin plane, are the private planes of the Duke of Newman. Naturally, they will be built in the back garden of Newman Castle. The Maca plane is the coordinates of the plane bought by the lords of the Bena Province. That's why the portal was built on Chenxi Square." Hathaway also looked at the bridge curiously.

   "Or let's go to the inner courtyard garden to see the plane portal over there. I haven't been to the garden over there for a long time. It seems that no one has held a dance there recently." Beatrice suggested.

  Hathaway frowned, and said with some hesitation: "It's too crowded over there. The road should be under military control at the moment. It's probably difficult to sneak in without a pass."

  Hathaway turned her head to Suldak and asked, "Dak, before going to the Bailin plane, what else do you have to do?"

Suldak thought for a while before saying: "I plan to take some time these few days to buy a batch of standard weapons from the Military Supplies and Logistics Department of Bena City. The weapons used by the cavalrymen in my cavalry battalion are very complicated. Strong combat power."

   "How about we accompany you to the Military Quartermaster?" Beatrice and Hathaway looked at each other and said almost at the same time.

   "Okay, I also want to know where the Pena City Military Quartermaster is." Suldak patted his forehead and said.

  …

There is a large yard outside the Quartermaster Logistics Department on the back square of the Bena City Hall. This yard is full of various magic caravans. The area is as big as a water stadium. The people who exchange supplies here are almost There was a sea of ​​people, and nearly twenty long queues were thrown into the yard in a twists and turns.

   Looking at the long line, Suldak inevitably had some headaches.

  He found himself standing at the end of the queue at this time, and if he wanted to be in the queue, he might have to wait until tomorrow morning.

Apparently Beatrice and Hathaway also misjudged the excitement here, Suldak looked to the left and right sides, and said: "Or let my men line up here, probably tomorrow morning It may be my turn."

   "It's even more lively here than the inner garden, but we don't need to wait here. Hathaway's classmate and I are working as logistics quartermasters here. We can ask her for help." Beatrice said.

   "A classmate from Swordsman Academy?" Suldak asked.

   "Yes, she is a year older than us, and she has been working in the military logistics department after graduation. You are waiting for me here, and I will go find her." Beatrice said.

Not long after, Beatrice followed a young female swordsman and squeezed through the crowd talking and laughing. After seeing Hathaway, the two hugged each other. The swordsman put his arms around Hathaway and Beatrice's shoulders, and said happily, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, haven't you two been to the ball recently?"

Beatrice glanced at Suldak next to her, and said with a smile: "There are only a few familiar faces at the ball here, it's really boring. We don't need to go to the ball right now, his name is Suldak , from Hailansa City."

   "I've heard people say that she is so tall and tall. Is Hailansa also in our Bena province?" The female swordsman stretched her brows, and the three women whispered.

   "Of course!" Beatrice took the female swordsman's hand and said, "Senior Agnes, we are looking for you this time to exchange some military supplies at the quartermaster."

   "Exchange for military merit or buy with gold coins?" The female swordsman asked Suldak directly, and she looked at Suldak curiously.

   "Buy." Suldak said.

The female swordsman nodded slightly, and asked again: "What materials are needed, magic pattern cloth, monster leather, all kinds of magic metal materials, etc. These are easier. If you want magic herbs, I can't do it. Now magic herbs The management is very strict, and I can help you with the rest.”

   "I want to buy some cavalry standard weapons." Suldak said.

  The female swordsman looked to the left and right sides, and then said straightforwardly: "That's it, then come with me!"

  A group of four walked through the crowd, the female swordsman walked in the front, she brushed aside the crowd in front of her familiarly.

   "Can the supplies here be exchanged for military merit?" Suldak followed behind and asked.

  The female swordsman looked a little surprised, but she still said: "Of course, but nobles rarely exchange military achievements for supplies."

Before Suldak came, he had already made some plans. He took out a detailed list from his pocket, handed it to the female swordsman, and asked, "This is the shopping list. Check out what you can't buy. ?”

  The female swordsman glanced at the list, and said casually: "There are standard weapons in the warehouse, you go with me to go through the transaction procedures..."
