153. Drinking lords
The Ketana Chamber of Commerce, which had withdrawn from the adventurer's camp, brought the news that the adventurer's camp had been attacked by bandits, and the blood and severed limbs of the guards were more convincing than the rumors. It makes those explorers who are ready to make a fortune in the ruins hesitate.
It wasn't long before the Arius Academy summoned the nearby lords to suppress the bandits. "The town of Summerlock, and the mayor of Ogi will fend off the adventurer's camp in three days. This is what Alan from Big Wood Town said in the Fisherman's Bar, and after he said this, the proprietress of the Fisherman's Bar invited him to a glass of wine, "I am the mayor's son, I know the mayor's thoughts very well, although he is timid, but the summons of Arius Academy make him very important, this is three days away from Big Wood Town, so after three days, he will definitely bring his knight to Ashfurnace Castle, you can rest assured." ”
Sula's main job was to plough the land and sow seeds. The job of receiving the ronin is now taken over by Raj. This lively, lovely, red-faced girl prefers to deal with these poor ronins, and she leads the slave girls from the desert country to set up a large iron pot at the gate of the Ashoven, and the thick knots soup with fluffy black bread is the staple food of these ronins who enter the Ashburgh. When they had their fill, they had to go to work, and there were so many wastelands in the Ashfurnace Valley that Lance feared that he would not be able to plant all the wheat before the rainy season came.
Lord Merlin, Lord of the Ashburgh, has been a little uncomfortable these days, and he has temporarily stopped copying scriptures in the Light of Truth. In the morning, he usually walked around the city walls, in the afternoon he walked around the first floor of the Ashhearth, and in the evening he would order a glass of wine at the fisherman's bar, sit near the door, drink it slowly, and then go back to the lord's bedroom alone.
Yuri has been very busy lately, and when Saruman left Ashhearth, he gave an important task, Arius College has a monastery here, the church cannot be left behind, this will be an important place in the history of religion, Cardinal Saruman decided to build a temple in Ashhearth.
Merlin was reluctant, he had already become very unhappy with a monastery here, and if he came to another temple, the future would not be even more difficult.
"This is the domain of Baron Merlin-Tesla, and all the land is sacrosanct!" Merlin said righteously, but he met Saruman.
The cardinal's face was kind, and the small money bag thrown in front of Merlin revealed a purple golden light, "Here are five hundred amethyst coins, just buy a small piece of land, enough to build a temple." ”
No wonder Old Bill said that the church is the richest man under the stars, and he was not wrong at all. Merlin was short of money, very short of money, so he had no way to object.
No one knows how much money the cardinal left to the priest, but looking at the thin Yuri, who is almost about to fly, everyone speculates that this is definitely a lot of money.
Yuri now takes a team of clergy from the church to survey the valley of the ashfurnace every day, trying to find a suitable location to build a temple. However, every evening, Yuri would be by Merlin's side. The cardinal has explained that Merlin is the most important person in Ashfurnace.
Yuri, of course, knew that the two giants of the Church and the Arius Academy had spared no expense in building a new monastery in the Ashfurnace Castle, in order to value Merlin's manuscript, which was the same manuscript as the Father's notes. Such manuscripts were very important in raising the status of cardinals in the Church, and perhaps Saruman could defeat his opponents and become the archbishop of the diocese of Rome with the help of these manuscripts. Rise to the top and become the next pope.
Yuri's heart stirs when he wants this, just like when he first came to Ashfurnace Valley, when he was always thinking about how to get out of this damn place, and now he thinks that tomorrow he will be wearing the red priest's robe here, life is so dramatic.
"Your Highness Merlin, do you want a glass of wine?" Yuri overjoyed, and he immediately realized that it was a mistake. Because Judy, who was bare-chested, had already poured a full glass of wine into the lord's glass, the new wine made this year.
"This is the new Cabernet Sauvignon this year, Lord Merlin hasn't tasted it yet, has he?" said Judy, showing off the beauty on her chest, as if she wasn't very satisfied with the lord's performance. No man at the fisherman's bar had ever ignored her so much, and it made her a little frustrated.
When Yuri realizes that something is wrong, and when it is too late, Merlin picks up the clear goblet and has already poured most of it. "Yes, this year's Cabernet Sauvignon is soft, have another glass. ”
"But," Yuri's mouth was wide open, and he couldn't speak for a long time, could it be that the lord tonight was possessed by the god of wine, you must know that this is the second glass of wine of His Highness Merlin tonight. Normally, he would drink only one glass of wine and refuse to drink it again. And Yuri knows that His Royal Highness Merlin has some special quirks, he never drinks wine from Ashhearth, strictly speaking, he never drinks wine, whether it's Cabernet Sauvignon or Lafite. He only drank ale.
Father Yuri remembers this very well, it was the first time he had drunk so much alcohol with Merlin in so long at the Fisherman's Bar.
"Let's toast to the prosperity of Ashburgh!" Merlin stood up and raised his glass to everyone.
Someone started to heckle, someone banged on the table, someone laughed. "Merlin, dear Merlin, you're different today than usual!"
Ruhl was not alone, he was the blacksmith of Ashhearth, and after completing the three warp ploughs, he liked to soak late in the fisherman's pub, and a bachelor returned to his den alone with nothing to do.
"For the sake of Merlin's good health, let's raise a glass. "Dark red Cabernet Sauvignon followed the corners of the mouth, staining the white and slender neck a large area red. "Pour it full, hurry up and fill it for me, and get drunk tonight!"
Judy happily followed the lord's instructions and filled the goblet in his hand. Then he glanced at the stunned priest, twisted her plump buttocks, and went elsewhere.
"Crazy, all crazy, drunk, lord, can you have good fruit to eat?" Yuri felt a run of dryness in his throat, and he looked helplessly around the bar, finding that no one could tell him what to do at this time.
