28. Awaken the Mind Beast
The saint did not stay in the village of Ashfurnace for a short time, and he carefully evolved the inside and out of Merlin's hut, and then carefully instructed Augustine to pay attention to the safety of the manuscript, not to Merlin's safety.
"There may be a dark wizard in the underground lair of Ashfurnace Mountain, pay attention to their claws when you encounter kobolds in the future, animals driven by dark wizards usually carry unknown toxins, they are not like the monsters of the wasteland, especially not to be cut through your delicate skin. ”
"Then what should we do?" Merlin has some brains, this Arius academic boss is too undisciplined, he worked hard to copy books for him, he didn't have a word of thanks, and he even wanted to save his hard work?
"Don't worry, my friend," Thomas's big red nose began to squirm regularly, and he pulled out a small badge, "as long as you bring this badge, you don't have to worry about those annoying kobolds, trust me." Under Augustine's envious gaze, the badge was placed on Merlin's chest.
Merlin realized that he might have mistaken the rosacea old man again, and by the look of Augustine he knew that the badge was probably a great thing, and that it should be worth a lot of money. Augustine would have jumped in anger if he knew that Merlin wanted to exchange it for money, at least not even Merlin's father, Cyris's king, Stiricus, had been able to get such a badge from Thomas.
Friends of the Saints, the coat of arms above the common text of several continents.
"My friend Merlin, this time the curse of the dark wizard is not completely without benefits, at least you have awakened the mind beast. Thomas's hand ran over Merlin's forehead, and suddenly a clear mark appeared on Merlin's broad forehead, like a cicada's wings, and like a sharp spike.
"Thank you, Holy Father, thank you, Thor. Bill's mouth muttered, "His Royal Highness Merlin has finally awakened the Mind Beast, now His Highness Varins has nothing to be proud of, when His Highness Merlin did not awaken the Soul Beast, His Highness Varins couldn't beat him, and now he can't beat him, see it, I'll say that His Highness is the pride of Celis, which proves that the vision of the King of Celes is not as good as mine." ”
"But don't rejoice too soon, the awakened mind beast of His Highness Merlin is probably not the Lionheart King unique to the Tesla family. Thomas said, "I think it's a rare breed, and maybe it doesn't have rare skills, but such a mind beast is obviously not good at fighting." ”
When Bill's lips trembled and he wanted to say something more, he found that Thomas had left, and Merlin's mind beast had always been a piece of his heart, and now he had finally awakened, but Bill was a little panicked, maybe he couldn't find someone to talk to happily together.
As Thomas left, he called Merlin to the side, his gaze wandering over the three captives of Ashhearth, "My friend Merlin, I have a piece of advice for you before leaving," the saint's eyes gleamed with wisdom.
Merlin was in awe, he realized that this was the saint as he was, and in a trance he thought that what he had just seen was an illusion.
But the anklets of the three men could not be taken off, except in the case of life and death. The saint's voice was small, but it was very clear in Merlin's ears, and at that moment Merlin was almost certain that none of the three men were ordinary people.
Sulla and Rajmerin were certainly not ordinary humans, but the short, green-clad humanoid who had returned with them looked extremely weak.
"It was a goblin, an old goblin, an old monster who knew witchcraft and lived for years. The saint saw Merlin's confusion, "I don't know how such an old fellow could be captured, and if you can get him to speak, I can only say that you have picked up a treasure." ”
"I didn't catch them," Merlin said, "and my slaves met them when they were looking for kobolds in the dungeons, and they should have been kobolds' captives. ”
"Either way, they are your men now," said the saint, "and remember, never open their anklets, those thin chains are the ones that limit their abilities." ”
Merlin nodded, he had no reason to doubt the saint's vision, although the omnipotent system could not show Thomas's favorability of Merlin, but he was the only exception of all the people Merlin met.
The Saints had arrived in Ashfurnace by boat, and it was clear that Augustine had a way to contact Thomas in Hippo, otherwise he would not have returned by ship with Jerry.
The saints left by boat, and when they returned, the boatload of bamboos had been left in the village of Ash.
Merlin activated the Mind Beast under Bill's guidance, the unfamiliar lines on his forehead became clearer and clearer, Merlin closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes brought about by the awakening of the Mind Beast, his body became lighter, his speed increased by almost half compared to before, but his strength only increased a little bit, and it was almost imperceptible if he didn't distinguish it carefully.
"It's so strange, the biggest change in the Awakened Mind Beast is that its power has become stronger. Why hasn't His Highness's strength changed significantly?" Merlin had left impatiently while Bill was still pondering.
The lord of Ashfurnace Mountain had been in the hut for almost five days, not counting the moment he was unconscious, it had been three days, he had long been suffocated, and now he could finally leave the hut, if it wasn't for Bill pulling him, Merlin would have run away long ago.
Merlin found a waterhole and plunged into it with a pop. In the past few days of chickenpox, everything else is fine, but the problem of not being able to take a bath has tormented Merlin to death. The first is whether the blisters can be wetted in order to prevent infection, and secondly, people with a fever should not touch the water.
Merlin happily washed his whole body, and he reached out and groped his face, although the scabs of the chickenpox were gone, the scars were still there. Merlin looked at the reflection in the water, the clear scars on his face, and sighed, wondering if Augustine could get rid of them.
If a child has chickenpox, it will not leave a scar, but if you see the wind in the process of chickenpox, it is not necessarily. Now I can only hope for the magical witchcraft of this world, I hope there is a way to remove this faint scar on my face, otherwise the price of awakening the mind beast will be too great.
