When you're talking about somebody else, you're destined to be the object of someone else's conversation, and that's the way the world is, at least that's fair.

The breakfast at the Fisherman's Bar was delicious, and Merlin certainly didn't know that the others couldn't get such a delicious breakfast. He's leaving, leaving the Fisherman's Bar, leaving Hippo. Ashfurnace Village is his territory, although his prestige there is already very high, but at this time, if he is away for a long time, no one can guarantee that something will not happen.

The group of slaves who left a few days ago should have already arrived at the docks of Ashfurnace Village, and there is still the last group of slaves today. Merlin will return to Ashfurnace Village with these slaves.

After lunch, Merlin's fleet departed. The Seven Knights, everyone wants to go further, and one Golden Knight is enough to get a piece of his own territory anywhere. The appearance of Princess Piaoxiang is destined for a huge storm in Hippo City, and now all this has nothing to do with Merlin.

305 slaves, enough for the Ashfurnace Village to digest for a while.

Merlin left Jerry on the newly built docks, and the free trade zone was just an idea for the current Hippo City, and the three major chambers of commerce had no way to monopolize the dock porters. Now that most of the warehouses in the new docks are empty, although all the ideas and things here have been handed over to the city lord's mansion, Merlin still has four floors of income here, so it is necessary for him to leave a certain amount of manpower.

Jerry didn't talk much, but he was thoughtful, and Merlin left twenty strong slaves for him to drive. The old docks are close to saturation, and the new ones can always develop, and Merlin is not at all worried about this.

"Sister Sula, Your Highness's fleet is about to reach the dock in Ashfurnace Village, aren't you really going with us to greet Your Highness?" Raj asked sly, blinking his round eyes. Although Merlin had only been away for more than half a month, it seemed that Ashfurnace Village had been missing something important for the past two weeks, although it was still very lively on Sundays, and although everyone was no longer as fierce as before when they were grabbing lots, Razi still felt a little unaccustomed.

It wasn't until Hippo's fleet transported more than 100 slaves to the docks of Ashfurnace that Razi sensed the reason why he was not used to it, and when the news of Merlin's return to Ashfurnace Village echoed like the wind through the white walls of Ashfurnace, the whole Ashfurnace was about to boil.

"I'm not going, Merlin guy said a word, patted his ass and left, I've been exhausted for two weeks. Sura stretched out charmingly, "Okay now, this unqualified lord is back, and he can finally go and rest easily." With that, Sula left the council hall on the third floor of Ashfurnace without looking back, and went straight to the bedroom next door.

"Your Highness is back, hurry up to the docks. Raj was on the stairs of Ashburgh when he heard someone say this.

"Hurry up, I heard that His Highness has brought back a lot of beautiful female slaves this time. An old man with gray hair said, "Blessed are the bachelors of Ash Furnace Village this time, and by the time of next year, it will be time to increase the population again." ”

The old man obviously couldn't keep up with the young man's footsteps, but at this time, the young man seemed to be very interested in what the old man said. "Will His Highness Merlin marry these female slaves to the men of Ashfurnace Village?"

"Aren't these slaves supposed to belong to the lord's private property, will he let them out?" asked someone next to him.

"The Ashfurnace Fort built by His Highness is so big that it can accommodate five thousand people, of course he wants to have more people. The gray-haired old man sat down on the big rock by the side of the road, "Your Highness is not what you think, Sura is pretty, isn't she?"

"Beautiful!" someone around them spoke, and someone nodded.

"If it was another noble lord, such a beautiful slave girl, she would have eaten it a long time ago. ”

"I found out these mornings that Sulla had come out of the lord's bedroom!" said one of the men in a muffled voice, "don't you think it's strange?"

"The lord is not in the Ashfurnace Castle, what is this!" Some people disagreed, while others were a little resentful.

"Go ahead, the docks are still so far from Ashfurnace Castle, I'm old bones, so I won't join in the fun. The gray-haired old man shook his hand and drove away the young man who was gathered around him. Turning around, he found Raj coming out of the corner, and he was shocked, and then he pretended to be nothing, stood up with his hands behind his back, and slowly walked to the sweet spring of Ashburgh.

Merlin's return was like a big festival, and it was noisy until dark, and the curfew patrols were dispatched, and everyone returned to their rooms without getting enough of it.

When Merlin left, the curfew enacted was very thoroughly enforced these days. Bill still hasn't recovered, but he's been keeping an eye on the Ashfurnace guards. Especially during curfews and night patrols, he often came out to check from time to time, and if he didn't follow the regulations, he would be furious.

Naturally, the prestige of the Golden Knight was not to be said, and no one in Ashfurnace dared to go against his will.

On the third floor of Ashfurnace Castle, the council hall of Ashfurnace Village was brightly lit, and the Nine Black Iron Knights, Augustine, Father Yuri, and Old Bill, everyone sat on both sides of the long table, and Merlin sat in the middle of the long table. Old Bill took out a rusty dagger and placed it on the table.

"Is this what the patrol found on the edge of an apple orchard last week?"

"Is this a weapon of the undead?" said Father Yuri, who leaned over and sniffed the rusty dagger under his nose, then frowned, "I can't be mistaken about this disgusting smell of decay. ”

Augustine nodded, apparently everyone sitting there, except for Merlin and Father Yuri, had already studied this thing. Now it was only through the mouth of Father Yuri that he confirmed it again.

"During the day, no anomalies were found, but the footprints of the undead were found in the apple orchard. "We have always enforced the curfew issued by His Highness, and I think it is necessary to continue to do so in the future." ”

Merlin nodded, there were also traces of the undead in the dungeons deep in the Black Forest, but for so many years, they would never leave the lower city and come to the surface. What happened now to make these undead run to the surface. Merlin felt the need to ask Sulla and Raj about the situation, but Sulla never showed up tonight. Raj had met once, but not since the feast.
