"Your Highness," said Walter, who was staunted by a piece of papyrus with a pattern of drawings, "Are you planning to build a prison for himself?" Slaves like him who knew how to build were especially sought-after, not to mention that he also participated in the construction of the castle in Adrianople.

Although the schematic diagram drawn by Merlin on the papyrus was abstract, Walter finally figured out the intention of the lord, it was a three-story circular building, each floor was three meters high, a total of nine meters high, only above the third floor had windows, and there were arrow towers and passages at the top, and the castle had only one exit.

"Yes, you can think of it as a prison, a prison in Ashburg," Merlin rubbed the papyrus in his hand, which was said to have been made by the ancient Egyptians from the sedge that grew on the banks of the Nile, but unfortunately, the process of making papyrus has been lost by now, and the existing papyrus is very expensive, and Merlin would not have been able to buy such a thing even if it were not for the saints of Hippo.

Maybe rice paper can be made in the future, if the hillbilly like the church sees rice paper, he will definitely throw the papyrus far away, compared to the rice paper, the papyrus in Merlin's hand is scum. But even the scum is a treasure now.

There is no way, without papyrus, it is impossible to express the castle that you want with your mouth alone.

Merlin's idea was very simple, he wanted to build a walled house out of stone on Ashfurnace Mountain. The Hakka enclosure is a building integrating defense, storage and residence, which is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Hakka people for hundreds of years and countless ancestors. In the end, it became this kind of circular fortress.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, in the war between the Hakka people and the local aborigines in Guangzhou, the walled house played an irreplaceable role. If Merlin can build a walled house in Ashfurnace Village, then when the Vikings arrive, they will find themselves facing a strong, tall fortress.

"I hope that after the completion of the Ashfurnace Prison, the Golden Knight will not be able to break through unless the Holy Knight himself comes out. Merlin laughed.

Although nominally, how to build the Ashhearth was discussed, the only person who could speak in front of Merlin was Old Bill. Now the old goth didn't seem to have come out of the shadows before, and he just nodded at Merlin's desire to build a fortress, and said, "That's a good thing, if the gold is not enough, I have some here." ”

Then Merlin had another money bag full of gold coins in his hand. The money bag is old, but it is very full. If he wanted to build a castle like this, Merlin's little money was obviously not enough, because the fortress he wanted to build was too big.

After two days, all the preparations were in place, and all that remained was to choose the site. According to the requirements of the walled house, there is only one suitable place in the entire ash furnace mountain. That's where the big stone where Merlin placed Ganquan on the slope.

The enclosure must have living water, either from a well or a spring, in order to prevent the enemy from cutting off the water source when the enemy besieges the city.

If he had known that a fenced house would be built to enclose the Ishizhong Spring, Merlin would not have chosen such a high position. But under the starry sky, there is no regret about taking the medicine. Fortunately, when Merlin chose the address of Ganquan, the place he picked was a huge rock.

There is only the will of heaven in the underworld, and after the two gray puppets sent by the two saints, the location of Ganquan is the best, except for a little high, of course.

The old goblin was now full of curiosity about everything Merlin did, so when Merlin chose the site, he followed Merlin with thin arms and legs. And behind him, Raj and Sula did not fall behind.

"Your Royal Highness, the eldest prince, you really don't want to build a castle on such a high hillside!" Sula never spoke politely, it was the right of beautiful people, and they never seemed to know how to consider how others would feel when they heard this. Raj is different, she never speaks the same way as Sura.

When the Father bestows beauty on a person, he always forgets other things. Merlin felt that if Sulla was a person who didn't speak, it would be much cuter than it is now.

"For Ashfurnace Mountain, the most precious thing right now is this sweet spring, if the Vikings come here, and then they don't loot anything, then the sweet spring is in danger. Raj said.

"One more, you didn't say, if the Vikings surrounded the castle, and the hundreds of people in the castle had no water to drink, then they would have to surrender in less than three days. So there must be a water source inside the castle. Yoda said.

Once you've chosen an address, the rest is up to Walter. Merlin has always believed that professional things should be left to professional people. The layman commands the insider, and he can only help more and more.

The advantage of having a Grey Golem is that the stones that can be found everywhere on the hillside are food for the Grey Golems, and after they eat them, they can pull out the stones that can be used. When the two Grey Golems ate all the way up the hill, they left a three-meter-wide stone slope behind when the two Grey Golems were gone.

These are two versatile construction machines that can change the shape and size of the stones according to the owner's wishes. However, awesome gray golems also have a price to use, they need to replenish their mana, and the source of these mana is the crystallization of mana.

Augustine provided Merlin with some mana crystals, but in order to build the ashkeep, a large number of mana crystals were required. So one of the problems that Merlin urgently needs to solve now is the problem of how to find enough magic crystals.

In the pot, the little fish coated in bean flour, which are no more than three centimeters long, grow in small streams and mountain streams. Ordinary people can't catch them at all, they usually hide in the cracks of the stones, and hide when there is movement.

However, since the water of the sweet spring flowed into the stream, these small fish boys, who were rarely seen, swarmed up in groups, and then were caught by Merlin.

"What smells so good?" said Sura, smelling the scent.

"If you don't work, you don't have anything to eat. Merlin unceremoniously knocked Sue's stretched hand off.

"Well, tell me what's going on. ”

"Mana crystallization, ash golems need mana crystals. ”
