Before leaving, Merlin carefully explained to Lance, "Before dark, the Ashfurnace Castle will be closed, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave, and you can't be negligent because you want to sow seeds, and you can't be careless until the evil caster is caught." ”

Lance nodded, he had never been so busy in a while. Although he spent a few days in bed after the injury, Drogba's performance did not make him happy. The young man was always uneasy, and the woman Leah was still the same as before, and Augustine had just left and went to the lord's bed. Although Drogba promised well on his mouth, I still didn't feel at ease.

Leah's bereaving face and fiery figure made the tax collector of Ashfurnace Village feel a little dazed, and that guy Parker was really unlucky, with such a big green hat on his head. But if he doesn't leave, he'll be the village chief of Ashhearth.

The rumor that Leah had been in the lord's room for three days and three nights was inadvertently said by Lance after Drogba got drunk.

If I hadn't softened my heart for a while and took her in, maybe I wouldn't have today's problems. Augustine might have brought her back to Hipo. It is said that Parker's wife is a princess of the Southern Disan family, but in addition to being a little poorer, this woman's appearance and methods are indeed a bit of the muddy smell of the swamp of the southerners, slippery and disgusting.

Lance looked at his lord with some concern, will this young man be the next target of this woman, "Does this have anything to do with us, he is a nobleman, a real nobleman, don't those nobles like this kind of life?"

"Lance, are you listening to me?"

"Of course, my lord, I remember everything you said. At dusk, we would close the gates and pull up the drawbridge, so that the fishermen would not open them even if they screamed. An ugly smile erupted into Lance's face.

"It's not that it's not impossible to be accommodating," Merlin didn't seem to sense Lance's bad mood, "I'll be back in seven days at most." ”

"Count me in!" At this moment, a woman in gray-black tight-fitting leather armor with a broken knife tied to her leg squeezed out from the back of the crowd, "I just have something I want to ask that evil mage, let's go together!"

"That's for the best," Merlin said with a rare smile as the weather seemed to be brightening, "where has our Thorn Princess gone?"

"I've decided to move the Fisherman's Bar in Hibo City to Ashhearth," Wendy rolled her eyes at Merlin, "You're not welcome, are you?"

"Of course welcome," Merlin said, "the city of Hippo is now a great maelstrom, and Princess Piaoxiang is nowhere to be found, and everyone hopes that this treasure that can make the Silver Knight break through to the Golden Knight is in their own hands, and the worst of all is not to fall into the hands of the enemy." ”

"It's really not easy," Wendy's squinting eyes suddenly opened, and her white jade-like fingers brushed her bright red lips, "No wonder the evil spellcaster will be deflated on your hands, it seems that Your Highness is not just lucky." ”

"Luck is also a kind of strength!"

"Hippo City has become a mess, because of the matter of Princess Piaoxiang, many people have died, and the coffin tavern has been smashed once. I don't want to stay on the fire at this time!"

"Isn't it said that only men can use Princess Piaoxiang to break through from the Silver Knight to the Golden Knight?"

But some people didn't believe it. Wendy took out a black mask from her waist and put it on her head. Merlin nodded, and when he left the Ashfurnace Castle first, the group set out on the road to the North Mountain.

Not long after Merlin left, a puff of bumblebees flew out of the pine forests of the Ashhearth Valley, and instead of flying to the flowers of the North Mountain to collect honey as usual, they landed in the grass or on the thorns near the Ashhearth.

The news of Merlin's departure only spread in a small circle, and the Goths, ronins, and desert dwellers of Ashfurnace were more concerned about their own food. Planting is still in full swing, and every day before the rainy season is precious, and early germination means that these crops will grow bigger than usual in the cold winter.

Rommel was very tired today, and whoever ran around the wasteland with the handle of the iron plough in his hand would fall apart from exhaustion. Rommel hummed a tune from the Scarborough Bazaar and returned to Leah's house, where the older boy had his own house, but he had not fired and was now eating in the same pot with Leah as usual.

"Grilled fish and white bread tonight," Leah has been in a good mood lately, and has more tricks for dinner, "and a potato soup later." ”

The crunch of the drawbridge as it was pulled up kept the red sunset out of the Ashfurnace. Now Leah has made it customary to set the time for dinner to start at the moment when the city gates close.

"Isn't it hard?" As Leah held out her handkerchief to wipe Rommel's face as usual, Rommel dodged it.

"Yes, that curved plow is more difficult to control than the swing step plow, and you can see that I have a few blisters on my hands. Rommel stretched out his hand and spread out his palm, which was not yet completely darkened, but it was impossible to see the blisters in his palm.

"I'll pick it out for you with a needle," Leah stood up and hesitated a little longer than usual, "or you'll be guilty of it tomorrow when you get to work." ”

"No, Aunt Leah," Rommel's refusal caused a subtle change between the two, "this zigzag plow is amazing." Rommel couldn't wait to stuff a piece of bread into his mouth, chewed it haphazardly, and swallowed, "Your Highness, the plough is twice as fast as the pendulum plow, and I think it's more than five times faster." ”

Rommel stretched out his palm, stretched out his five fingers, and said in affirmation.

"Is it so powerful?" Leah became interested, although she didn't have to go to the field to sow seeds today, she still knew about the pendulum step plow, this thing is troublesome to operate, what kind of plow can be five times faster than it.

"Well, that fellow Drogba is not convinced, compared to me, I have cultivated much more land than he has cultivated!" Rommel poured a large glass of water handed over by Leah, and exhaled comfortably.

"Merlin is different from ordinary people?" Leah came down, sighed slightly, put down the fork in her hand, looked up at the third floor of the Ashburgh, and after a while she realized that its owner was no longer there.
