Carl smiled and patted Surdak on the shoulder and said, "That’s because you are lucky to meet the right buyer."
Surdak, who sold salamander meat, felt it unnecessary to stay at the exchange and paid a small amount of tax when he went out. Only then did he lead the horse with Carl to leave the exchange.
……
This magic exchange looks quite formal and I don’t know what it will be called.
When they returned across the street, there was a square park, which was so big. It was rare to see a row of shady street trees around the square, and some benches were scattered around it. An old woman in a linen dress was sitting on a bench with crutches in her hand. Some children gathered at the fountain in the middle of the square, wondering whether to play in the fountain.
Carl looked left and right on the street and then looked up at Surdak and asked, "What are your plans for the afternoon?"
Surdak knocked his head and seriously thought about it. The village chief Brett asked him to change the money belonging to the village into some iron pieces. He had to go to the blacksmith’s shop and said, "I also want to go to the blacksmith’s shop to buy something and then visit Baron Sidney’s house."
Since it is reasonable to return safely from Warsaw, it is necessary to meet Baron Sidney’s family and give him the knighthood.
However, Carl said to Surdak, "It is inappropriate to visit at this time, especially when visiting the host. Some manners need more attention."
They walked on along the sidewalk near the square. Carl said to Surdak, "According to aristocratic etiquette, if you want to visit Baron Sidney’s family, you must first write a letter and make an appointment with the other party. You can’t visit until the other party gives a definite answer, so the earliest visit date is less than the day."
"I’ll write a letter to the hotel first and then go to the blacksmith’s shop," Surdak calculated.
Surdak stopped at the edge of the lawn covered with small white flowers and said, "Carl!" to the Hailanza people who helped themselves twice but never asked for anything in return.
The knight badge on his chest shone brightly in Surdak’s eyes, and he kept a gentleman’s manner when he smiled faintly on his face. He asked Surdak, "What?"

Surdak asked with a smile, "Would you like to have a drink together later?"
Carl spread his hands and said, "No problem. I’ll arrange this. I should be the host."
There is a hotel across the street from Park Square. Surdak chose this hotel nearby to stay.
Carl will attend the routine meeting of the security camp in Hailansa city in the afternoon, so he got up and left, and agreed to meet at the entrance of the hotel at night before leaving.
……
The hotel opposite the park square is not covered by a row of golden oak trees. The red rubble of the hotel makes this three-story building look new, and the wall paint has not faded at all. The third floor has a small balcony. The Suldak balcony can vaguely see the square through the cracks in the oak trees.
There are not many guests at the front desk in the hotel. She is a charming Jewish proprietress, who is also the chef of the hotel, the owner of the hotel, KANEYOSHI RYOKAN, the waiter, the groom and the handyman, etc. This hotel has no employees except a temporary laundry girl.
Mainly, few travelers come to Hailanza Mountain City, and this hotel can last forever, which is a low-cost operation.
He sat in the only chair on the balcony and took a gold coin. In his hand, three gold coins belonged to the five young people who helped him in the village, and each of them would also get fifty silver coins, leaving two gold coins for himself. He put the money in his pockets separately.
There was a knock at the door, and Surdak got up. The proprietress was carrying a pot of hazelnut milk tea, an envelope, a piece of paper and a quill pen. I didn’t know how much the envelope and paper were worth outside the door. Surdak habitually gave the proprietress ten coppers.
Seeing that Surdak was polite and generous, the proprietress pulled out a large white chest dress and smiled at Surdak. "Knight, do you still need him?"
Surdak shook his head slightly and stopped the proprietress in front of the door and said to her, "I don’t have to prepare my dinner when I’m going out to eat tonight."
“……”
Wife of shop-owner also want to answer the words to listen to "crash" a door.
What a bumpkin!’
The wife of shop-owner cursed the sentence in my heart before turning away.
……
Surdak rode away from the hotel.
He knew the address of Baron Sidney in Hailansa and asked the hotel owner in detail how to find the house.
Although the Baron Sidney’s territory is located in a remote area of Hailansa City, Baron Sidney has settled in Hailansa City because he studied at the Knight College of Hailansa for four years. Usually, his territory is taken care of by an old housekeeper.
Baron Sidney’s own sister married the Earl of Guimondgoss in Hailansa, and his usual city of Hailansa was also taken care of by her sister Mondgoss.
Surdak doesn’t know much about Baron Sidney, and he doesn’t know what family he has besides his sister. Since Miss Hathaway is his fiancee, he shouldn’t be married, so he thinks in his heart.
Baron Sidney’s residence is located in the rich area of Hailansa City. Here, most of the residents are nobles in the city. There are lush golden oak trees and silver oak trees planted on both sides of the flat streets. From time to time, acorns fall and make a muffled sound.
Surdak carefully checked the gate number before knocking at the door. He planned to give the prepared stationery to the housekeeper or the door maid, but he waited at the door for a long time, but no one could ride away angrily.
Before leaving, I looked into the courtyard through the courtyard wall, only to find that the fallen leaves in this house have been covered with Yong Road, which looks like it has not been inhabited for a long time.
The horseshoe treads on the slate, making a tapping sound …
Chapter 24 Resentful eyes
The southwest corner of the capital city of Hailansa City.
This is the lowest place in the city. There are dozens of chimneys erected in the forest square.
Surdak rode his horse to a blacksmith’s shop. The owner of the blacksmith’s shop was naked in a leather apron and kept hammering a sickle with a small hammer in his hand.
There is a fire in the room, which looks very hot. The wall on one side of the blacksmith shop is covered with all kinds of weapons and farm tools, and some shelves are also filled with iron.
When the owner of the blacksmith shop saw Surdak coming in, he gave his hammer to his assistant and then straightened up and asked Surdak, "What can I do for you, knight?" Repair weapons or nail horseshoes? "
Surdak didn’t have a wall to find the iron pieces he needed, so he took out the hinges, door bolts and nails and set the stage for the blacksmith’s shop owner. "Do you have these things here?"
The blacksmith’s shop owner took a look and replied, "Yes."
After that, he went into the shelf area to take out the goods inside and set the table, and said to Surdak, "Knight’s adult, if you install this hinge, you should choose a larger price of 20 copper plates, and a pair of windows can be slightly smaller, and the price of 15 copper plates and a pair of this door bolt is 12 copper plates a pound."
