Even after Merlin left, the three people in the pine forest still had no intention of parting.

"Old fellow, you've talked too much today!" Merlin's jaw would have dropped if he was here, he never imagined that the ladylike Sulla would say such a thing.

Raj, who was standing next to Sula at the moment, anxiously pulled Sulla's sleeve with his hand, "Sister, don't talk about it." ”

"Such a Merlin girl, but she doesn't have a good heart," the goblin shook his head, "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”

"Old fellow, you could have left, why did you stay?" Sulla's eyes widened, if his gaze could kill, the old goblin was already lying on the ground and whimpering.

"Yoda is too old to walk anymore, there is food and drink here, why should you go, this is the life of a goblin's dream, beautiful girl. The goblin shook the shackles on his hands and feet, "I'm curious, you two young people are not as free as my old man, why are you wasting time here with me." ”

"We were sent by the Northland Witches. Raj was about to continue, but was stopped by a glare from Sula.

"So it's for witch blood!" the goblin smiled eerily, "and it doesn't look like our purpose is in the slightest. And it seems that your task is not small, if His Highness Merlin does not awaken the Mind Beast, of course it is very simple, if he awakens the Mind Beast, I'm afraid Stirico will not agree to the Witch King's request. ”

When the time comes, he will agree if he doesn't agree. ”

"I'm afraid Your Highness won't be willing!" Raj said.

Merlin finally found a pair of leather armor that didn't fit well, which belonged to Drogba's beloved, and after Merlin spent five gold coins, Drogba wailed and handed over the leather armor under his father's obscenity.

Thinking of the greasy fat on the tax collector's son, Merlin felt that the leather armor he wore was covered with fat, Merlin was not a cleanliness person, but it was still a little uncomfortable to wear Drogba's old leather armor. There was no better choice, and Merlin didn't think it would be wise to go after the kobolds in a linen robe. But the chain mail inside the package was so big and heavy that if he put it on, Merlin would have a problem even walking.

The elf's dagger was in Merlin's hand at the moment. This weapon couldn't be better for cloud strikes.

When the sun was halfway up the mountain, the expedition party of Ashfurnace Village was assembled. There are a total of twelve people, five knights, four slaves, Merlin, the Ranger, and in addition to Merlin's guard Tom, one of the two high-end combat forces of Ashfurnace Village, Tom the Black Iron Knight.

Merlin also had a heavy task for Lance, the first task was to build a quarry, and then to build a mill by the stream, Merlin had eaten the barley paste for the past few days, and when he thought of the holy bread that the Arians had distributed at the sacrament, Merlin felt that he was living a very miserable life as a lord.

There's no reason why a lord can't eat white bread once on Sunday, but there is no mill in Ashoven Village, and without a mill there is no way to grind grain of barley into flour.

In order not to eat mush every day in the future, the first problem is to get a mill out first, and now after having Shizhongquan, you can use a water wheel to drive the stone mill. In this way, even the grinding animals are saved.

The second is to build a quarry, the Arius school needs stone to build a monastery, Merlin himself builds the Colosseum, and the baths need stone, and many of Merlin's plans are inseparable from stone.

Before Merlin leaves, Lance assembles a patrol of Ashfurnace Village, and after dark, they are responsible for guarding the security of Ashfurnace Village. Of course, they are not alone, Augustine has also formed a patrol team, and they have a much larger number of people than Ashfurnace Village. Moreover, Augustine had already contacted St. Thomas in Hippo, and in three days, Arius sent a team of Black Iron Knights to guard the construction of the monastery.

But it is impossible for Arius to help Merlin deal with the kobolds in the Black Forest, which means that Merlin wants to save Old Bill, so he can only go out himself.

"Count me in," Augustine suddenly stood up as he was about to leave, "how can such a fun thing be without me?"

"Are you sure you're not kidding, it's a nice day, I'm sure I'm going to have something to do with a hot summer. Merlin laughed, it would be a good thing if there was an elder of Arius on the way, but I was afraid that Augustine had other ideas.

"Of course, I'm serious, just last night, we had five stonemasons missing. Augustine said sadly, "I believe they are still alive, and even if they hope that it is less than one ten-thousandth, they will try." Right?"

"Yes, then you're welcome, thirteenth," Tom laughed, "Elder Augustine, that's not a very good number, but we Goths don't care if the team is thirteen or twelve. ”

"Oh, yes," Augustine's face changed, "it's not an auspicious number, but I'm not a traitor. Merlin now holds the Order of the Friends of the Saints, and all the Arians of the Arians need to treat him like a saint. ”

Legend has it that when the Father was walking on earth, he was betrayed by the thirteenth disciple and his body was destroyed. So in the church there is a prophecy that the thirteenth is an ominous person.

Merlin, of course, doesn't believe in the that the thirteenth man is a traitor, as a successor to communism, Merlin is a pure atheist, betrayal of this kind of thing has nothing to do with chips, anyone can be a traitor, it only has to do with the price paid by the enemy, and it has nothing to do with the timing of his appearance.

Moreover, Augustine's favorability of Merlin was the highest among the twelve, and if there were traitors among the thirteen, Augustine was the least likely.

"Believe me, I was ordered to protect His Highness Merlin, there can be no traitor, Lord St. Thomas has given a death order, and if he loses a hair before the Doomsday Book is copied, I will be out of luck. Augustine smiled wryly.

"Man, the Goths have the blood of Thor, the god of war, in their veins, and any intrigue is no different from dust in the face of absolute strength. Merlin said loudly.
