The human heart is probably the most unfathomable in the world, but the complexity of human nature is still above the human heart.

Merlin can almost understand some of his inner thoughts, which have something to do with the influence of his communist ideals in the empire for more than 30 years, and also influenced by Merlin's more than ten years of life in Adrianople.

However, he was never able to figure out his attitude towards Sura. Merlin could clearly feel the contradiction between his thoughts and practices.

He attributed it to the nature of a young man, after all, Merlin's actual age was only sixteen years old. So there's nothing strange about doing something weird.

Old Bill thinks differently, he's been worried these days. As a person who has never had a moment of leisure, once you stop and can only move your eyes and tongue, there are some unusual thoughts.

He was probably reluctant to talk to Merlin before, but now he hoped that Merlin would stop and listen to him for a while. However, Merlin was busy, and the whole fence became a huge construction site, and the villagers of Ashfurnace and the craftsmen of Hippo City were involved in the construction.

Originally, it was impossible for the craftsmen of Hippo City to be hired by Merlin, but Augustine, after listening to Merlin's words, agreed, and now the elders of the Arius School have the greatest hobby every day to spread out Merlin's manuscripts and admire them carefully.

Yuri was granted the right to continue living in Ashfurnace Village, and then lost everything. Including that precious manuscript.

Old Bill's lunch was brought by Merlin himself, and Old Bill's tongue was always busy, not only eating, but also talking a lot.

"Are you really going to leave Sulla and Raj in Ashfurnace?"

"If I had the chance, I would have sold them, and you know how short of money I am now, and if I want to build the Ashfurnace Castle, the more than 20,000 gold coins I have on hand are not enough. ”

Old Bill's teeth were bad, Merlin's soup was small and soft, and the torn cabbage floated on top of the white noodle soup, and Old Bill was reluctant to eat Kate's meal now.

"You can have a few children with them, but these children are not destined to inherit Ashfurnace, you have to think clearly. Old Bill didn't agree with Merlin's words, he was already planning the future lord's wife, "When will I go back to Adrianople, if you want to get married, this person must be approved by Master Stilico." ”

Merlin is very busy, the construction of the whole walled house, all the big and small things need to be handled by him. There was no way, after Old Bill and Augustin lay down, the only person left by Merlin's side was Lance. However, as the tax collector of Ash Furnace Village, Lance obviously can't do such a job as a contract foreman.

If Merlin asked for a month later, or longer, to complete the wallhouse, it would be fine, and Lance believed that the slow construction would always lead to the completion of the Ashfurnace before the Vikings arrived. However, a fire in Barbara wakes Merlin awake.

Vallins' southern relatives had apparently arranged for other follow-ups, and Merlin would now sleep with one eye open at night if the enclosure could not be built.

This time it's a dozen kobolds, and I don't know what it will be next time, as long as they keep harassing and waiting until the Vikings come to Ashfurnace Village to sweep it, then Merlin's Ashfurnace Village territory will definitely be destroyed.

In less than a week, the prototype of the enclosure was erected. Old Bill's happiest thing every day was to lie on the bamboo chair and watch the Ashhearth grow higher and higher, until later, he could no longer see the edge of the enclosure when he lay down. Although he couldn't see it, it didn't bother him, he could ask, although Merlin didn't have time to listen to him, but as the golden knight of Ashfurnace Village, he had too many admirers around him.

"Uncle Bill, Ashfort is twice as tall as the tallest fig tree in the village. Rommel was a favorite of the Golden Knight, and he always managed to squeeze the closest place to the bamboo chair, but he was saddened that the fig tree in Ashfurnace had been destroyed in the fire.

"No, how tall can two fig trees be, and Ashhearth is ten times taller than the tallest horse in our house. Drogba stood on the other side of Old Bill's recliner. In fact, the tallest horse in their family was only seen by him, because he had been lost last year.

"The Ashfurnace Fort is fifteen meters tall," Sura's soft voice rang out from outside the crowd, "His Highness Merlin's plan is clearly written, and none of you have taken a look?"

Drogba's face turned red all of a sudden, as a descendant of a knight who doesn't know how to read, and being pointed out to his face, it is indeed shameful enough, but there is no way to do it in Ash Furnace Village. Because there are no teachers, there is no teacher to teach them.

Reims's conditions were not enough for him to pay the salary of a governess.

Usually the descendants of knights like Drogba would go to learn the written word, and if the family could not afford it forever, they would learn the written word and other books through the church, through the monks of the church.

Neither do these ash furnace villages.

It was only during meal time that Bill had a chance to say a few words to Merlin.

"Did you really decide to let Sulla teach them how to read?" Old Bill didn't have a good appetite today, and Merlin tasted the cada soup he had made, and it tasted no different from yesterday's.

When a person has something on his mind, he naturally can't eat, but Merlin can't explain too much at this time.

"I'm sure both of them must be witches!" Old Bill interrupted Merlin rudely, "Don't tell me that the gods judge those things, I don't know how Augustine got them, but many people know the dirty things in the church and the academy, and these little tricks can't be hidden from others." ”

"Well, even if the two of them are witches, it doesn't matter, I just let them teach the children to read, and you know that the children in the Ashoven Castle don't even have a single person who can read, these are my future subjects, do you want my subordinates to be some reckless men who don't even know a word in the future?"

"You can go to Rome and ask a governess with status and knowledge to come back and teach them. ”

"No money, I don't have money now. The construction of the Ashoven Castle will have to be stopped in two days. Merlin sighed, in just a few days, his hair had thinned a lot, and sure enough, no matter what age it was, the problem of the house was a major event in life.
