The heat of midsummer gradually dissipated, and after a light rain, the weather became clear. Merlin stood on the third level of the Ashhearth, looking down at his territory.

From top to bottom, the aura of loyalty enveloped the Ashfurnace Castle, and Merlin looked at the villagers who came in and out of the city gates, and a strong sense of pride arose, this is my territory.

Merlin's gaze was a tall white tombstone with the names of those who died that night inscribed on it. "Fawkes, I'm going to get you and tear your bones off bit by bit. ”

Behind Merlin was an expedition of knights, all solemn and silent, covered in heavy armor. He was accompanied by Lady Barbara, the second-ring spellcaster in a gray cloak.

Nearly 300 people died that night, and there is no way to count the exact number of people, because there is no one in some families who have survived. According to the Gothic tradition, the dead needed to have tombstones and graves, but those who died on the battlefield could not even distinguish the bones. Naturally, there is no way to get tombstones and tombs.

Merlin later accepted Leah's suggestion and put together the remains of the corpses collected on the battlefield and built a huge tombstone. Hatred is a good thing that unites people's hearts, and under this large tombstone, the villagers of Ashfurnace Village have sworn a blood oath, and the evil mage has become the sworn enemy of Ashfurnace Village. The anger of the villagers needs the blood of the evil mage to be appeased.

"I will surely smear the blood of the evil mage on this white stele!" Merlin stood in front of them.

Sulla watched with concern as much of the wasteland in the Grey Furnace Valley had not yet been sown, and if the wheat and oats did not poke their heads out before the rainy season of the Great Heath arrived, then they would not have a chance to grow.

Manpower is a problem, as is large livestock. If these two problems cannot be solved, the people of Ashhearth will inevitably experience a famine in the coming year.

"I know what you're worried about. Merlin walked up to Sulla, "Of course the sowing of oats is important, but if I don't get rid of that fallen mage, I won't be able to sleep at night?"

Sula took a bite, "I'm afraid you don't have time to sleep at night!"

Merlin's face flushed, of course he knew what Sulla meant, from Leah to Kate, Merlin really didn't seem to stop these nights.

Sula also felt that it was a bit inappropriate to say this, "There are five silver knights in the hands of the fallen spellcaster, do you have a way to deal with it?" Don't rush forward, you've been caught by the enemy, but I've heard that the Fallen Spellcaster seems to have a grudge against you?"

Merlin suddenly fell into deep thought, and the events of that night seemed to come back to his eyes, and the wails of the fallen spellcaster echoed in his ears, "Fawkes is just the caster of the second ring, he used secret magic to forcibly ascend a realm that day, and there is a price to pay for doing so." Barbara says he won't be able to summon his fallen orcs for the next month. ”

Sula felt the wind blowing gently in her ears, the wind in the Great Wilderness with the special humidity of autumn, and she was worried, worried about the harvest of the coming year.

Merlin seemed to read her thoughts, he looked back inside, snapped his fingers loudly, and behind the lord, Rommel walked out with a strange shape on his shoulder.

"Time is urgent, I'll only make a sample, you guys get acquainted with it first, the blacksmith is still making it, with this thing, our wasteland won't be empty this year. ”

Sulla realized that he hadn't seen Rommel for a long time, and he thought he was injured and hadn't fully recovered, but now it looked like he was going to get that strange thing.

"What is this thing, and what is it for?" Sula asked.

"It's called a curved plow, and it only takes an ox to pull it. Merlin, when he saw the pendulum plough that Sulla had prepared to take away the wheels, did not let it out, for it required two oxen to pull it, and the soil was very shallow. "It's okay to use a horse, but if you can't. An adult man can also pull and move.

Rommel beckoned, Drogba squeezed out of the crowd, he came to Rommel and grabbed the leash in front of him.

"You two will show you how to use this curved plow!"

Before he knew it, Merlin had shrouded his aura of loyalty over a large clearing outside the Ashkeep, and Drogba seemed to have other thoughts, but the words reached the corners of his mouth and he swallowed back.

"This zigzag plough saves an ox and turns the soil over to cover it. Merlin said.

Faced with Sula's suspicious gaze, Drogba pulled the curved plough to the wasteland, and after so many days of recuperation, the land ravaged by the fire finally had a little grass and returned to its former appearance.

Rommel seems to have practiced it many times, and he was seen holding the handle of the curved plough in one hand, while carefully observing the rabbit that often came by, and how to deal with it.

"Very well, this zigzag plough is very deep. Lance squeezed out of the crowd, he, the village chief, was still quite responsible, and he didn't know about the farming of these ash furnace villages. ”

"Can this curved plough be pulled by only one ox?"

"Of course, you see, a young man can pull for an expert, of course yes, a cow is definitely no problem. ”

This kind of black iron curved plough not only liberates the labor force, but more importantly, it improves the effect of deep ploughing, and the weeds that are turned down can also have the effect of fertilizing the field.

Lance immediately pointed out the key starting point of the Quyuan plow, and he said: "With this, we can increase the speed of plowing the field by two more cups, and there is still some superfluity." “

Merlin smiled, "With this, you can plant oats on all the wastelands almost before the rainy season?"

"I'm still worried about the lack of manpower, what will I do then?" asked Sulla.

"If there are not enough people, let people go to the front and pull the zigzag plow, and every man will go. ”

......

The curved plough was prepared by Merlin for a long time, he just asked the blacksmith to make a sample, and Merlin only made it from his own memory, whether the specific angle of turning the mud is right, what is the effect of deep ploughing, and the bearing capacity of the plowshare. These improvements had to be left to Rommel.

Merlin's system package is full of supplies, this time he must not go to the Black Forest to have a look, and then go to Xia Suo Town to ask, the hammer mercenaries have sent so many things, and they are the only ones who know best where the fallen spellcaster Fawkes has gone.
