"No one has ever used a grey golem as a purely non-combat unit like His Highness Merlin," Saruman said as he walked around the sleeping grey golems, groping their grey and cold surfaces, "but this is a groundbreaking move, and probably no craftsman can do the work of a grey golem." ”
Merlin nodded, he had not been to the holy city of Rome, and he did not know what kind of structure the current craftsmen's peak building was. However, from the perspective of Adrianople and Hippo, the fifteen-meter-high, three-story stone tower is almost the tallest building, and Merlin's ashoven is already more than twenty meters, if it is not necessary, Merlin can continue to add more. If the foundation is laid, fifty meters is not a problem.
In the past, when the Ash Golem was in Thomas's hands, it was only used as an auxiliary tool in the quarry to make stone bricks, and in Merlin's hands, it was directly used to build the structure of the Ashforge Castle. Probably no artisan has ever been able to possess a magical creature like an ashrofer, and a spellcaster or knight would not have thought about building a stone tower.
"Magical creatures have the property of growth, just like a small sapling grows gradually, and it is recorded in the canons of the Church that it has shed its gray skin and put on a silver coat and stone talons, and is called a griffon. ”
"The kind of griffon that has wings and can fly into the sky?" Merlin couldn't help but ask. Everyone has a dream of flying, putting on wings and soaring over the blue sky.
"No, it's probably not a fully evolved griffon, and there is no record in the books that griffonmon has the ability to fly. ”
"What kind of book is it, can you show it to me?"
"Of course, but you let me think about it," the red-robed cardinal rubbed his temples, and the moment he turned around, a sly smile appeared on his face, and when he turned to face Merlin, he regained his graceful temperament, "People are old, it's not good at all, I don't remember anything, I'm going to go back and think about it, and I'll tell you when I think about it." ”
The church's construction site did not stop because Merlin's ash golem fell into a deep sleep, and Saruman was very satisfied after checking Yuri's site, and with a stroke of his pen, three days later, the craftsmen of the Holy City entered the Valley of the Ashheart. Then the Light of Truth, the Valley of the Ash Furnace entered the construction in full swing again.
The disparity in strength between the Church and the Arius Academy was evident from the scale of the construction, with a team of silver-armored guardian knights patrolling the construction site day and night, and more than 5,000 people were working at the same time. Along the way, the Ashhearth Castle is also lively, these craftsmen from the Holy City are rich masters, and every night, the fisherman's bar is almost unable to sit down. Barrels of wine from the cellar were removed, and as a last resort, Wendy urgently purchased a batch of stock from Hippo City and shipped it to Ashhearth.
The Fork's fishing team expanded to three hundred, and Lance selected a few nimble young men from among the wandering knights as captains to follow the Fork out to sea. In fact, they did not go far from the Ashfurnace Castle, and in the vicinity of the mouth of the Sweet Spring, they could always find schools of fish, and the harvest was so abundant that the forks began to doubt life. Fishing has never been easier since joining Ashhearth.
The increase in population has made Ashhearth a large settlement in the vicinity after the town of Summerlock, although the population of Ashhearth Castle is much more prosperous than that of Summerlock, and there are general stores of the Bohemian Chamber of Commerce, blacksmiths of Ashhearth, fisherman's bar, and a large dock capable of docking thousand-ton sailboats. The people in the vicinity began to gather at Ashfurnace Castle instead of going to Summerlock.
Merlin suddenly realized that the Ashfurnace Castle was no longer inseparable from the Ash Golem, and that the construction of the public baths was now about to begin in his plan. Now that the two main forces are unable to work, Merlin can only pull out the slave craftsmen who were bought back from the desert country. In Merlin's plan, the size of the public bath should be enough for 500 people to use at the same time, and such a large public bath could only be built in the holy city of Rome.
The public baths in Hippo are much smaller, and can only accommodate two hundred people at a time. In fact, Merlin's original intention was that the bathroom was a private facility and should be built in one's bedroom, but in the holy city of Rome, the public bath was considered a symbol of civilization. Where there are hot springs, hot water, and cold baths, it is a symbol that reflects the prosperity and wealth of a place. At the urging of Lance and Old Bill, Merlin put the construction of the public bathhouse on the agenda, but Merlin was disappointed that the progress of the construction was too much.
On this day, after finishing copying the manuscript at the Abbey of the Light of Truth, Merlin returned to Ashburgh for lunch and a little rest. Everyone in Ashhearth knows that the lord is used to taking a little rest after lunch, and at this time, the entire third floor of Ashhearth Castle is quiet, without any movement, and even the most lively and active frost giant Phil will take her beloved wolf leader to the outside of Ashhearth Castle.
Merlin hadn't been long after closing his eyes when he was awakened by a knock on the door.
"Who?" the lord was still angry when he got up, "I don't know if I'm going to take a lunch break at this time?"
"Young man, when you sleep in the daytime, are you not afraid of the Father's imputation?"
Merlin opened the wooden door of the courtyard and saw Yoda, a halfling standing barefoot outside the door, with two pointed plush ears on his head, beckoning to him again.
"Sage, is there anything you can do?" Merlin hadn't seen this short halfling for a long time, he would get a lot of things, and at that time, Merlin's wolf fur was handled by Yoda, Merlin remembered very clearly, after the hard wolf fur passed through Yoda's hands, it became as lubricated as water, and he would not feel bored when he sat on it in the summer. With such a craft, it is definitely not an ordinary person. When Old Yoda was choosing a house on the second floor of Grey Castle, no one stood up against it.
"I heard you're building a public bathhouse, and now you're having a bit of a problem?"
"Yes, Sage," Merlin suddenly came to his senses, "my Grey Golem is in a deep sleep, and if I had relied on the stonemasons of Ashforge, I am afraid that it will not be able to be completed next year." ”
"Oh, take me around, I still know a little bit about those cold big guys, maybe there's a way. Yoda muttered, "Winter is coming, I'm waiting for your bathroom to enjoy life, don't let me down." ”
