15. The 198th person in the village of Ashlu

There is no shortage of labor in the ash furnace village, and only the efficiency of transporting water can be improved to solve the problem of watering beans, and Merlin plans to make a batch of buckets to carry water, which can greatly improve the efficiency of water transportation.

This is where Merlin's carpenter comes in handy, and in Ashfurnace Mountain, people use clay pots to get water, and no one has ever seen what Merlin said the bucket looks like, and when Merlin draws the bucket on the sedge, the young man named Ruhl finally understands what Merlin means.

The best material for making buckets is camphor wood, such buckets will hardly be broken, but Merlin chose pine, because pine is lighter than camphor wood, although it is not as durable as camphor wood, it is better to make buckets for transporting water, as long as Merlin completes the task of the system, there will be no shortage of water in Ashfurnace Mountain in the future. So there is no need to consider the durability of these buckets.

By the afternoon, a batch of more than 20 buckets had been made. Merlin picked an arm-thick pine branch, and sharpened it smoothly to make it a flat pole.

Carrying water seems simple but is actually a technical job, Merlin's strength is not enough, he can only pick a small half bucket at a time, and the taciturn Jerry learns the fastest, and it doesn't take long to master the trick. Merlin put down the bucket and entrusted Jerry with the task of carrying water.

It seems that it is still necessary to refine the Baduan Brocade again, this body bone is too weak. Just now I just climbed a hill with half a bucket of water, and now not only my shoulders are hot, but my waist doesn't seem to be able to straighten up.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, this bucket of yours is so easy to use, it's only a while, it's worth the beans we poured all day. Lance trotted over to Merlin's side, panting, he had been the most excited about the bucket just now. However, Merlin finally had to forbid the fellow to touch the bucket again, for he had already broken two pine buckets with a limp.

Merlin was also very happy, and suddenly at this time, the sweet voice of the system came to his ears again, congratulations to Merlin Tesla, who has obtained 100 points of prestige in the Ash Furnace Mountain Territory. Friendships are always strongest in battle, and Merlin now understands this phrase even better. He found that Lance's favorability had exceeded 100 points, reaching a new height of 110.

Although it only solved a small problem in Ashfurnace Mountain, Merlin felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. The efficiency of watering was improved, and soon the villagers of Lance Ash Furnace Village were watering all the beans. However, compared to the vineyards and orchards of the entire Ash Furnace Mountain, the water they picked was still far from enough, and Merlin had no solution to this problem, so he could only pin his hopes on completing the plot tasks given by the system.

The next day, before dawn, Merlin got up. Last night, he made up his mind and began to cultivate the Eight Duanjin again. If Xiao Merlin's talent is so bad that he can't awaken the Mind Beast, then Baduanjin is his only recourse against those knights with extraordinary strength. Reborn in this chaotic world, having your own strength is the only hope of survival, even the guards of Adrianople can ignore the lord of Ashfurnace Mountain, Merlin will not be naïve to think that just by virtue of his identity as a lord, he can live very comfortably and comfortably in this place.

Of course, it is a bit late to start cultivating Baduanjin at the age of sixteen, but in fact it is best to start cultivating at the age of eight. But there are not so many ifs in this world, but in the previous life, Merlin began to cultivate Baduan Jin at the age of twenty-five, and naturally he had missed the best cultivation age, so even if his talent was very good, in the end, he only stopped at the ruler strength, as for the inch strength and internal strength, according to the retired old man, there was no hope in this life.

Merlin picked a pine with the thickness of the bowl in the grove on the hillside, his back was in a state of relaxation, and he leaned up gently, snap, the pine with the thickness of the bowl was broken in response, it seems that the hard work of the previous life was not in vain, at least the skills of the force were only slightly rusty. The rest of the sensations are still there, they have been deeply imprinted into the depths of the soul after countless exercises, and have become instinctive reactions. Otherwise, Merlin would not have been able to win the battle against Varins, who had awakened the Mind Beast.

Merlin re-selected a pine wood with the thickness of two bowls and began to practice sticking to the mountain, his whole body relaxed, and the whole person stuck to the trunk of the tree, feeling that he had become a mountain, and then leaned on it with a snap. The trees swayed, and some of the branches and leaves fell in a sway. It is very boring when you practice it, especially to outsiders It is a very simple and stupid action, but Merlin knows the essence of it, so he enjoys practicing it.

"Your Highness, Your Highness Merlin," came the call of the half-orc Kate from below the hillside, but Merlin was not ready to stop at this time, and the hundred times of sticking to the mountain today had not yet been completed.

"Your Highness, so you are here!" Kate panted and climbed up the hillside, the appearance of prophecy and stopping, and the ears on her head and dangling looked extremely cute, but the favorability in the green box on her body had turned to a yellow 40.

"What's going on, isn't that frost giant okay?" Merlin asked.

"No, it's not," Kate put her hand down suddenly, "Phil, she's fine, but she just won't eat." ”

Refusing to eat, but still getting better, it seems that the frost giant is not ordinary difficult, and can make the gentle and lovely Kate say such things.

The two of them walked down the hillside, and the village of Ashfurnace was built on the grass below the hillside. The sun was just rising over the treetops, and puffs of smoke were rising from the mushroom-like grass house, and this was my territory, Merlin groaned comfortably, a sense of satisfaction filling his heart.

"Merlin, dear Merlin, I'm so glad to see you!" Augustine, wearing a brown hat and a brown robe, appeared in front of Merlin.

"Hello, Lord Augustine, the weather is really nice today," Merlin opened his arms and hugged Augustine, who had finally returned to normal in his arms, and in Merlin's memory, Augustine had always been dressed in colorful clothes, covered with the scent of various flowers.

"Yes, the weather was very nice. The Ashhearth is much cooler than Hippo. I'm a little envious of you. Augustine laughed.

"Don't be envious, the gates of Ashfurnace Mountain are always open to the Arian Academy!" Merlin said.

"Honorable Lord of Ashfurnace Mountain, Augustine reports to you. ”

Merlin was pleasantly surprised to open his attribute panel and found that the population had changed from 197 to 198. That is, as long as the population is increased by two more, Merlin's task is completed.
