The status of a silver knight in the Holy Roman Empire is about the same as that of a provincial high-ranking official in the later empire, and ordinary people may never have the opportunity to see such a big man in their lifetime, and Merlin is certainly not an ordinary person. He still calmly filled a large plate full of potatoes and hairtail, sprinkled red chili powder, sat on a chair by the fire, and ate it beautifully.

Sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, the five flavors are mixed, but Merlin's favorite is this spicy taste. So much happened today, but the biggest surprise was the discovery of paprika. There will be a lot of taste in the future, and it really makes people look forward to it.

"There are three chambers of commerce and seven knights in Hippo City!" Merlin had only eaten a few bites of potatoes, and Wendy couldn't help it. "My husband is also one of the Seven Knights, and he joined the Holy War five years ago. He never came back. ”

"No news from him?" Merlin asked, looking up into Wendy's eyes.

"The most recent one was three years ago, and he came back with a letter. Wendy's eyes reddened slightly, "I'm sorry, what's the point of saying these useless things." She wiped her rosy cheeks, "I won't leave Hibo City because I think he's still alive, but maybe I'm making a fool of myself." ”

This wasn't the first time Merlin had heard about the Holy War, and the implications of it were far-reaching. For the first time, the purification of Jerusalem, the birthplace of the Holy Father, did not achieve substantial success. But on the west coast of the Endless Ocean, three new nations were established, and the kings of those three nations were the three holy knights of the First Holy War.

The reason why so many young knights participated in the next holy battle had a lot to do with these three kings. If you expand your territory in the pagan realm, you will not only bring endless wealth, but also gain the support of the Church.

Although the combat power of the Holy Knights is terrifying, the real war is often not determined by the strength of an individual. The last three kings didn't last long, but to the young knights, they were their idols.

Parker of Ashfurnace and Wendy's husband in Hippo are both knights who are called to join in this way. In fact, there have been no successful examples after that, but there are still many young knights who dream of making a great achievement, and they have embarked on the journey of the Holy War without hesitation, never to return.

"A silver knight, the chances of surviving the Holy War are still very good. Merlin put down the white porcelain plate, Wendy's craftsmanship was really good, he was a little bit able to eat. "I heard that King David of the Holy City is anxious about the warriors of the Holy War again, and the city of Hippo has begun to raise food, you can go and inquire. Maybe your husband will be back soon. ”

"There's no hope anymore. Wendy said sorry in a gloomy tone and left the kitchen.

Merlin is just a friend of the saints, not a holy knight, and in fact, there is no good way for a holy knight to face such a thing. A silver knight shrouded in desire, even if he stays in Hippo City, he can't bring happiness to Wendy.

Merlin felt that the three major chambers of commerce and the seven knights were still too far away from Ash Furnace Village, and the main problem for him now was to solve the problem of population. In this sacred battle, the Ash Furnace Village will not participate, and in the future, it can participate appropriately.

Merlin was not a member of the Church, nor was he sympathetic to the infidels, and the Holy War seemed to him to be a band of robbers who went to a foreign land for a holy reason and an excuse to rob. When the exclusivity of divinity and the greed of human nature are entangled, the power that erupts is undoubtedly enormous. Under such a torrent, anyone who tries to stop him will be relentlessly devoured.

Merlin doesn't want to participate in the so-called Holy War, but Ashfurnace Village won't be on the opposite side of the Holy War either.

The night was uneventful, and the next morning, Merlin pushed open the window of his room, revealing a bright flower roll in front of him. The sea in the distance was as blue as a giant crystal, and the shore was filled with hurried fishermen, and in the small garden under the window, the scent of wildflowers attracted by butterflies and bees. It was a beautiful morning.

"Good morning, Your Highness Merlin. Wendy wore a white apron, "Did you sleep well last night? The fisherman's bar might be a little noisier, it's too close to the shore." ”

"No, Madam, on the contrary, I slept soundly last night. Merlin turned from the window, "There has never been a bar where I can sleep so peacefully until dawn." ”

Merlin's words were not pretentious at all, a silver knight was just outside the guest room, and no blind little bastard would come to the fisherman's bar to make trouble, if he was really dizzy, then the fork was their example.

"Your Highness, you don't need to be outside, just call me Wendy. The proprietress of the fisherman's bar said, "There's a good breakfast in the hall, and if you like it, you can go and enjoy it now." Of course, these things are given. Wendy couldn't even figure out why she said such things last night, even Roots, she hadn't heard these words mentioned, she thought a lot last night, but it wasn't her husband who hadn't been home for five years, but the little lord of Ash Furnace Village who had just met for the first time.

It's hard to turn down a woman's kindness, especially if she's very beautiful. Merlin wasn't a saint, so there was no way he couldn't disobey his heart. Strictly speaking, Mei Xiaolin was a virgin before the crossing, and many people would not believe it when he said it, because his womanhood is actually quite good, but this kind of thing actually cares about your heart, if you are a person who likes waves, you always drill into the pile of women, and there will be many more opportunities.

White bread, vegetable salad, and two fried eggs, simple but not simple.

"This is the man who made you wake up early in the morning to fry eggs after a night of sleep last night?" Jenny chuckled quietly in the corner of the lobby of the Fisherman's Bar, one of the few women in Hippo City who could talk to Wendy about everything.

Women's friendships usually come from men, Jenny was Wendy's husband's lover before he got married, and five years after the man left, the two women, who were supposed to be enemies, became friends who talked about everything.

"No, I just don't know why, I couldn't sleep last night, but I didn't think about that dead ghost. Wendy's eyes sparkled.

"That's the lord of Ashfurnace Village, the eldest prince of Adrianople, who has lost his inheritance, and is a nice little lover. "Jenny has no stereotype of the City Lord's Mansion, and she looks extraordinarily lively.
