There is never a shortage of gossip people and things that make people gossip in Hippo City, and the bounty of 10,000 gold coins in the City Lord's Mansion has made countless people covet, and even Fox Fox, the spellcaster of Xia Lock Town, rushed over to get a piece of the pie. But in the end, the hundred amethyst coins ended up in the pocket of Merlin, the baron of Ashfurnace Village.

"What a lucky fellow!" Iron Hammer muttered dissatisfiedly, the wine lady of the Red Moon Tavern was so unpleasant, almost half of his glass of ale was foamy, "Did you hear that the rocky beach outside the city was bought by a person." ”

"What kind of aristocrat is this, what does the little young master who has money and no place to spend want to do?" Fawkes proudly picked up the ale in front of him that was almost overflowing, as long as a small greasy technique, the ale in the wine glass would not foam at all, so the wine lady had to fill the cup with ale.

He deliberately took the ale in front of the hammer and drank it down, but unfortunately there was so much ale in this large cup that he choked on tears.

"It seems that this guy who has money and no place to spend it is the lord of Ashfurnace Village. Someone said mysteriously.

"Is it Ash Furnace Village? is that a well-known poor place outside of Xiasuo Town?" "Hammer is from Xiasuo Town, which is something that everyone in the Red Moon Tavern knows, so no one doubts that he said such a thing. "There wasn't even a pier in that place, so you had to walk in. ”

"Isn't it, poor jingle bell, and recently I heard that the Ashfurnace Village was set on fire by a spellcaster from somewhere, and burned a large part of the valley. "The Red Moon Tavern is always well informed, and what happened in Ashfurnace Village quickly spread here. "The baron of Ash Furnace Village bought land here, isn't he going to go back to Ash Furnace Village?"

Fawkes shook his head and squinted at the mercenary who said this, the person who came was a young minotaur, the two crooked horns were glowing blue, and at a glance he knew that this was a novice, and the horns of the minotaur mercenaries who were experienced in combat were often black. Some will also be black and shiny.

"The laws of the empire do not allow a lord to abandon his subjects unless he wants to taste the prison meals of the Bastille, and the Inquisition of the Holy City is very interested in these nobles, and the last lord who betrayed his subjects was tried for three months. ”

"This is something that only a gentleman can do," Merlin became an out-and-out gentleman in the eyes of the people of Hippo City, "Fifty amethyst coins can hear a little movement even if they are thrown into the water, what can you do by buying a rocky beach?"

Not far outside the city of Hibo, there was a large rocky beach overgrown with heather and thorns, and there was nothing but stones and these weeds. The setting sun reflected on the endless sea, and the grass near it was gilded with a pale shade of gold, and a young man in a linen robe ran quickly on the rocky beach, the undulating ground seemed to have no effect on his speed.

"Your Highness, you wait for me. Behind the young man, Father Yuri followed out breathlessly, but judging by the way he looked, he was almost on the verge of breaking his leg.

"From tomorrow onwards, this place will be in Ashfurnace Village, what do you think?" The young man was Merlin, of course, and the bumblebee rider's agility was like a fish in water on the rocky beach full of large and small stones, and Merlin felt that his speed was more than twice as happy as before.

"Big ...... ...... big one," Father Yuri gasped, "it's too big. ”

"The nuns of the Convent of Michel said that the place is 30 hectares. ”

"Your Highness, Yuri thinks that 10 hectares is enough. Father Yuri finally relented and straightened his back. "The extra 20 hectares that woman asked for 50 amethyst coins, which is too expensive. ”

"I know," Merlin smiled slightly, and took out a white animal skin from his arms, this is the alchemy item of the spellcaster, which can be stored for a thousand years without being destroyed, and is not afraid of fire or flooding, it is the best document carrier. "But I think they'll regret selling me such a large piece of land. ”

Merlin was referring to them gathered together at this moment, the small wooden attic in the bamboo forest was very cool, and in the corner of the attic was placed a wooden basin filled with high ice cubes, and when it melted a little, there were servants adding fresh ice cubes to it. The gray robes were taken off, revealing the brightly colored silk vests worn inside, luxury goods from the Far East that even the nobles of the holy city of Rome could not necessarily afford, but the silk vests worn by these nuns were brand new.

There are some people in the church who value simplicity, but there are also those who prefer luxury. People always like to live comfortably, and this is the same in the Empire and in Hippo. This is human nature, and it cannot be changed.

"This baron of the Ashfurnace Village is a fool," Vivien's mouth exuded a faint scent of fruit wine, and the Holy Father's law of abstaining from alcohol did not seem to exist here, "20 hectares of wasteland were exchanged for 50 amethyst coins. ”

Sister Rand glanced at her beloved disciple and smiled appreciatively.

"Hey, these amethyst coins still came out of the City Lord's Mansion?" Catherine said. "This Merlin is still too young, and half of the ten thousand gold coins were spent before they could be heated, and they were exchanged for 20 hectares of wasteland from Sister Vivien's hands. I don't know where I regret it now. ”

Sister Rand nodded, "I don't know what Lord Thomas likes about him, but Augustine went to Ashfurnace Village to build a monastery." ”

"Isn't it, I don't know how much gold it will cost in that remote place," Vivien couldn't help but complain, "The money in Michel's Abbey is running out of money, you see that more than half of the ice in the ice cellar has been used, and there is still more than half of it left on a hot day, how can I sleep without ice cubes in the future." ”

"I've heard that the Roman spellcasters have discovered a way to make ice cubes in the summer," Catherine said, "but it's a bit expensive and expensive." ”

"Isn't sleeping at night more important than anything else, you see, where can you sleep without ice cubes in such a hot weather, the teacher will do it, but the cost is not ordinary. Vivien's eyes turned to her teacher, "But I'm afraid there won't be any extra money to make ice cubes this summer, and the monastery in Ashfurnace Village is still short of a lot of gold coins, Augustine said that the monastery should be built before the Vikings start to sweep in the winter, this is the siege of the saints who are anxious, and they can only sleep with a fan in the future." ”

Sister Rand's face was displeased, and there was an indescribable disgust in her eyes. It is also unknown if it is Augustine or the baron lord of Ashfurnace Village who is disgusted.
