48. Undercurrents
Merlin's memories opened up like a lock when he saw the chubby, adorable bumblebee queen. I'm no stranger to these elves. In my previous life, when I participated in a poverty alleviation project in the north as a women's director, I was specifically introduced to these bumblebees.
Don't underestimate these little creatures, if there are no bumblebees pollinating the flowers in the greenhouse, the tomatoes in the greenhouse will not be able to bear fruit, and the efficiency of bumblebee pollination is much higher than that of ordinary insects. Bumblebee pollination is said to increase crop yields by up to 40%.
Merlin held the weak creature in the palm of his hand, and in order to prevent the queen bee from escaping, the ranger tethered it with a blonde hair. The helpless queen bee fell into fear that she had never felt before.
A spell in Merlin's mind flowed through his mind. These spells come from the legacy of the Bumblebee Knight, which the saint said.
In front of Merlin, a circle of light fell on Queen Bee's body, and a progress bar indicating that a connection was being established advanced. After a while, the progress bar ends. The whole world came alive in front of Merlin. A scented world becomes more three-dimensional.
Merlin let go of the blonde hair he was clutching, and the queen bee flew out of his palm. Then it began to fly around Merlin. An unprecedented intimacy appears in Merlin's heart, and the queen bee's favorability is displayed as a symbol of infinity.

In the ability section, there is one more queen bee in control, and according to the setting of the system, Merlin's current level can also catch four queen bees.
Merlin discovers that he can't directly direct the queen bee's activities, and he can only delineate a range of the queen bee's activities. And this range can't be too far away from his neighborhood. On the map, it occupies about 2/3 of the area of the Ashfurnace Valley. However, Merlin has three commands for Queen Bee's men, the worker bees and drones, who can choose to attack, collect honey and dodge.
The queen bee was placed in a pine forest by Merlin, about two hundred meters away from Merlin's bamboo house. I don't know when it began, but there were more guards under Merlin's bamboo house.
Merlin must be the happiest person to be the Bumblebee Knight, and there is nothing surprising about it. Only a Goth who has awakened the Mind Beast can understand the pain of not having a knight's legacy. Now the legacy of the bumblebee knight sent by the saints of Hippo City undoubtedly gave old Bill hope.
Hope is the most beautiful thing in Ash Furnace Village, and the old willow tree at the east end of the village has sprouted again. The men, women and children of the village like to go there for a walk, and the fresh buds grow when they see the wind, and within a few days they pull out a long branch. When an ignorant young man reached out and wanted to pinch it, he was unceremoniously slapped off by the elders.
"Dead wood is spring, this is a manifestation of the spirit. ”
Old Bill was convinced of this, "His Royal Highness Merlin has been different from ordinary people since he was a child, and he didn't wet the bed when he was less than two years old. "Something about Merlin's childhood began to spread in Ashfurnace Village.
Of course, Merlin had no impression of these things, but some of the words were getting more and more magical. I don't know when Merlin began to become infinitely powerful, but there is no major change in appearance, after all, as the lord of Ash Furnace Village, Merlin still meets everyone every day.
Merlin was eager to talk to Old Bill in person, but after breaking through to the Silver Knight, the Old Goths were avoiding his lord, intentionally or unintentionally. Once the estrangement is created, it is basically difficult to eliminate it. Especially the stubborn ideas of an old goth.
But the change is moving in a good direction, Merlin can feel it. Old Bill gathered a few young knights and a few strong slaves from Ashoven Village and began his daily training.
Merlin had no problem training knights and slaves, and now that Ganquan had it, the number of people who needed to work in the village had been greatly reduced. The oats before autumn are the most important part of the year, but there are still a few months to go.
Since Merlin built a bamboo house in the pine forest, Fei'er also slept in the pine forest at night. The frost giant from the northern wilderness has terrifying combat power even in its infancy, otherwise it would not be possible to take down the kobold wolf without a sound.
Raj and Sula also built huts in the pine forest, which was much cooler than the village on summer nights. It didn't take long for Old Bill and Tom to move in.
Goblin Yoda picked a room on the second floor next to Merlin after the bamboo house was built, and moved in. Sometimes it's best to rely on the old and sell the old. This old goblin is definitely not an idle person, basically it has no idle time, in the days when Merlin went to the dungeon, it nitrated the wolf's fur, and the craftsmanship is amazing.
After seeing the chaise longue in Merlin's room, it got busy again. Within a few days, a batch of small bamboo chairs appeared in his room, and of course he did not forget to prepare a large one for Merlin.
If you have a craft, you won't go without food anywhere. There is a saying in the empire that there is an old man, if there is a treasure.
"Grandpa Yoda, people want one of these recliners, too. "Raj and Sulla would get to the goblin when they were fine, and it seemed that being a kobold captive together had invisibly brought them closer together.
"Does Sula want it too?" the goblin laughed so hard that the folds on his face could kill the flies.
"Hmph......" Sura snorted coldly and tilted her head to the side, "Old monster, I think you have ulterior motives, aren't you afraid that we will report you?"
"Everyone is the same, how could two second-ring witches become captives of kobolds?" Yoda laughed even more happily, "The leader of kobolds is notoriously lustful, how can the witch bear it?"
"If you dig out your eyeballs, you won't look around. Sula said fiercely, "Merlin is just a useless bumblebee knight, why don't you leave?" ”
"It's useless, isn't it true that the witch is not afraid of being laughed at when she says such a thing?" said Yoda, "you don't know another name for Bumblebee Knight. But it's not surprising, they're all too young. ”
"What is it?" the two asked in unison.
"Freel, the god of abundance!"
Hiss, Sula couldn't help but gasp.
