74. Ashburgh

The first and second floors of the enclosure were windowless, and this was done to prevent the enemy from attacking through the windows. On the third floor, there are some small windows opened.

Of course, the stone house where Merlin himself lived had large windows, and he still had this privilege as the lord of Ashfurnace Village. Besides, the whole enclosure is his, and he can build it however he wants.

As soon as the windows open to the north and south, the wind blowing through the hall is very cool. Augustine was already able to stand up, and he slowly moved to the third floor of the enclosure step by step, holding a bamboo pole the thickness of an arm's length without being supported.

The third floor is very large, supported by several huge stone pillars, except for a circular patio in the middle, what remains is a ring.

Merlin planted some bamboo and a few freesias around his stone house, there is a sweet spring, which is against the sky, and the freshly transplanted bamboo does not look wilted at all, and the freesia is still budding.

Augustine looked up at the stars in the sky, then at Merlin's face, and then at it for a long time. Finally, a sentence suddenly appeared, "Go to Hippo, you will be the lord of Hippo." ”

Merlin was dismissive of this, and Hippo City was not attractive to him. If the population of Ashfurnace Village is as large as that of Hippo City, in Merlin's hands, it will be countless times more prosperous than Hippo City. It's a matter of vision.

"I now understand what Mistress St. Thomas means," Augustine clapped his hand over the smooth fence, "you're different from anyone else, and no one has ever thought of using a dirt golem like this. ”

"Are you despising me?" Merlin felt a little upset in his heart, of course he knew what Augustine meant, "Of course the Holy Knight doesn't have to worry about the kobold running to his territory at night when he sleeps, for the saints, the gray golem is just a toy, but for me it is different." ”

"No, you're mistaken, I mean Ashhearth would definitely be a great work!"

"It's a pity that there is no way to finish this great work," he said, without spreading his hands, "there is no food left in the Ashfurnace Village, and if there is no new food coming in after a week, we will all be hungry." ”

As soon as the stone gates of Ashfurnace fell, Merlin began to prepare to leave, gathering Lance and the other eight knights, as well as the men he had brought to Ashfurnace Village, to discuss what to do next.

"After dark, the stone door will fall," said old Bill, who could barely sit up, and though he couldn't move around like Augustine, he could help with some of the trivial chores. In the end, however, he chose to be the guard of Ashhearth. After several harassments by kobolds, he found that the guards were the most important thing in Ashfurnace Village.

Old Bill's authority had been established the moment he stepped into the air, and now no one would question his words. Except for Merlin.

"Leave a basket at the gates, and if any playful little creature forgets to come home, hang him in the basket into the Ashhearth. Merlin knows that there are no absolutes in this world, and the population of Ashfurnace Village is just 200 now, and if any of them are locked out and taken away by wild beasts, the spring water in Ashfurnace Castle will be cut off.

Old Bill nodded, what Merlin said, he would not normally object.

When it comes to deliberating things, it's basically Merlin talking about it, and everyone else is listening. But at this time, Merlin can't take care of it much, at this time, even the population base is only so little, don't think about what kind of talent can be had. I can only cultivate it little by little.

Merlin's request was only twofold, the first was to find food to feed these people, it was impossible to feed them, just beg not to starve to death, and the matter would be left to Lance.

The second thing is to settle these villagers, although the location of the first floor is enough to settle all the villagers in Ashfurnace Village, but Merlin knows that after people get together, there will be more friction and contradictions, and some stumbling and longing, trivial things are always inevitable. Merlin was going to leave it to Sulla.

As a superior person, Merlin knew very well that it was impossible to do everything on his own. Now, whenever he has the opportunity, he wants to train people who can work.

Sula also knew that dividing the room was a tricky problem, but she didn't expect it to be so tricky. The nine knights on the second floor, everyone can choose the stone house they like, and there is nothing to fight about. However, the stone house on the first floor is not so easy to divide.

"I want this room, this room that lets you get the sun when you open the window in the winter. "Someone gave such a reason.

"I have this one, this one is a little closer to the pool for water. ”

"I want this, I want this. A high-pitched voice shouted.

It didn't take long for Sula to get dizzy. She glanced up at Merlin's hateful smiling face in the dim light. The whole person is not good. "Shut up, and whoever speaks again will let him sleep on the ground. ”

"Your Highness, Sula can't do this thing, so it's better for Your Highness to take action personally. Sulla was very happy with the result, but was a little unhappy with Merlin standing so high.

Merlin waved his hand, "I'll leave it to you." Merlin felt that Sula's favorability instantly dropped from a red 90 to a green 30 in the blink of an eye.

Soon Sulla's surroundings became noisy again, but the pain and struggle seemed so real to Merlin. From this moment on, it was as if the life of Ashfurnace Village had truly embraced Merlin. Accepted this soul from a foreign land.

Some people say that people will always have an irrepressible sense of loneliness when they are busy, and this feeling is especially experienced by goblins. As if the noisy crowd had nothing to do with him, he broke away from the crowd and slowly climbed up the steps of the Ashoven to the third floor.

"I want to pick a stone house on the third floor?"

"Okay?"

Augustine's mouth was wide open, as if he didn't believe that Merlin had agreed to Yoda's terms so easily, and then he smirked again.

"May I?"

"Get out of ......!" Merlin unceremoniously refused, the strength of the Arius Academy had already aroused his vigilance, if a place was left for them in the third layer at this time, those villagers should have misunderstood Merlin's thoughts, under the whole world, Mo Fei Wang Land, how could his own one-third of an acre of land tolerate their involvement.
