34. Mass

The Sunday Dinner is a sacrament administered by Elder Augustine of Arius College. The hundreds of craftsmen and slaves from Hibo City, plus two hundred and one people from the Ashfurnace Village, were all gathered in one place, and everyone had a share. Each person was given a portion of the holy bread. Plus a serving of holy water.

The white bread is white and fluffy, with a lovely wheat aroma. It is said that eating tonight's holy bread will be able to erase the sins of the past. Merlin didn't believe it, but after eating black paste for almost a week, he heard that eating holy bread could also remove sins, so he didn't hesitate to take two large pieces.

Merlin has almost forgotten the taste of white bread, and it seems that Ashfurnace Mountain is still too poor to even afford to eat white bread. There is also wheat in Ashfurnace Mountain, but Kate can only use it to cook paste. Because they don't have flour.

It seems that the first problem is to get a stone mill, and now there is a stone spring, and even the donkey that pulls the mill can be saved. When a person has a sense of belonging, it is natural to put himself in the shoes of many issues. Merlin took the holy bread for two, took a cup of holy water, found a remote corner, squatted down, and happily began to wash his body and mind.

For the people of Ashoven Village, there is no problem that one piece of white bread cannot solve, and if there is, two pieces of white bread will definitely be solved.

"After the monastery was built, the sacrament was held in the monastery. Augustine was dressed today in a new gray robe, solemn and solemn, and was like two people in the afternoon in the little bamboo hut.

"This is my territory. Merlin said angrily.

"Under the stars, all people are the Father's people. "The Divine Stick is starting to wield its power again.

Merlin found that this was an inexplicable situation, and looking at the crowd of revelers in the field, he felt powerless. The people of Arius' College are performing the miracle of the Holy Father feeding three thousand people with three holy loaves. When the second loaf of holy bread is about to be distributed, a new one will always appear. Such a lame magic show would not even be able to fool kindergarten children on the streets of the Empire, but here it can get a full applause.

When the rulers disregard the discipline and make up their minds to deceive the people, what is there they that they cannot do? Today's Ashfurnace Mountain is destined to belong to the Arius Academy, and Merlin, the lord, can only stand aside.

"This is the most successful Mass I have ever presided over, and when the monastery is completed, it will be the grandest place in the whole of Northland since leaving the city of Hippo!" Augustine was so ambitious that he seemed to forget that there were only two hundred people in Ashhearth.

"You can rest assured, as long as the light of truth is completed. There will be many people who will come to Ash Furnace Mountain. Augustine drew a circle in front of Merlin, "Here, here, here will all be people." ”

Merlin's face will be green, and then the Ashfurnace Mountain will become the Ashfurnace Mountain of Arius Academy, just like Hippo. In Hippo, Stilico's notice is not as good as a word from the Academy.

"Here's what we learned today. Augustine handed over a black money bag with a clanging sound inside. "The wealth of Ash Furnace Mountain is beyond my imagination, and today I can actually receive almost five hundred gold coins a day.

Perhaps that was the only thing Merlin heard today that pleased him. Soon the priest of the church, Yuri, also found Merlin, who had paid a measly twenty dollars in taxes.

Merlin received five hundred and twenty gold coins on his first Sunday at Ashfurnace Mountain, which was not a bad start, but it was clearly not particularly good.

"The Arians are ready to build a Light of Truth in Ashfurnace Mountain, does the church have any plans?" Merlin joked, whether it was in terms of taxes or from other places, Merlin didn't want the Arians to dominate in his territory, if the church came forward to fight against them, Merlin only needed to stand in the back and mediate, and this would be the best ending.

"I have sent a letter to the Cardinal Archbishop of the Holy City, and I believe that the Archbishop will soon have a decision. "The church is not the lamb that will leave the academy to its own place. The young lord always put Yuri under an inexplicable pressure, and after he said these words, he left in a hurry.

Merlin didn't take what he had said to heart. The population of Ashfurnace Mountain is so small that a single Truth Light Monastery is enough to fit all of them, and there is still a lot of room to spare. But the church has already begun to act. An even bigger plan is in the works.

After the Mass, the meeting was just getting down to business. The moon climbed to the top of the pine trees, and the hazy moonlight sprinkled over the valley, and several bonfires taller than a man were built on the grass of the valley, and half-grown children ran and rolled wildly in the grass. The bard brought out the harp and set it on the side of the campfire, and the winemaker from the city of Hippo laid out three or four kinds of fruit wine. The smiling young man began to invite the beloved girl, and many laughed. It's a great opportunity to relax and relax.

Papa Bill handed Merlin a bottle of green cider, and he burped, "It's much cheaper than Adrianople's, and you can buy a whole bottle of freshly brewed green cider for five silver coins." ”

Sula actually took the initiative to lean towards Merlin at this time, maybe only Merlin was the only one in the whole village who didn't have those half-sized boys with hairy hands. At such a time, Leng Buding rushed out of the darkness and ran in front of you to startle you.

This is an unsociable girl, and she looks with envy as Raj in the arena is surrounded by a few bells and whistles. One moment Rommel stepped forward and took Raj's hand, and the two happily provoked a circle dance, and the next moment it was the turn of the chubby son of the Lance family. Before the music started for a while, Raj became the center of attention.

"They have no ill intentions," Merlin said to Sulla, "go ahead, go and dance." When you are young, you should live a little more freely. ”

"Then why didn't I see you happen?" Sula gave Merlin a blank look.

Well, well, Merlin seems to have forgotten that he's only fifteen years old now, and he's younger than Sulla. These old-fashioned words are not convincing at all.

However, as he spoke, he saw several teenagers in the field chasing a round, white ball and rushing towards Merlin. Suddenly, a man flew up, and the white ball made a graceful arc and whistled towards Merlin's side.

To be precise, it rushed towards Sura's ass like lightning.

It seems that no matter where it is, women always attract men's attention the most, especially beautiful women. No wonder Sulla wouldn't go. If she ends up, it will inevitably be a riot.

The pale ball spun, Merlin turned lightly and raised his feet, pulled and stopped, and a white skull stopped at Merlin's feet.

The teenager in the distance beckoned to Merlin, and Merlin's heart moved, and he launched a white skull under his feet and rushed towards the group of teenagers.

This is the most traditional way of playing in the Goths, where they cut off the heads of their enemies and kick them to play. The Goths from the Northland always had his prowess in their blood, and Merlin seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
