Merlin was in a bad mood and woke up early in the morning with a black face. The half-orc maid put down a plate of crystal grapes with great discernment, and quickly escaped from the bamboo house.

The grapes are very sweet, and since the water of the sweet spring has been watered, the sour grapes have only been left with a sweet taste. But it's useless, except for being able to eat it yourself, you can't sell it, and the Ash Furnace Village is three days away from Hippo City even by water, and seven days by land. Of course, such a good grape can be sold for a good price in Hippo, but if it is a rotten grape, no one will buy it. Three days is enough time for the grapes to rot.

Even in the Imperial Age, how to preserve ripe grapes was a very difficult problem. The price to pay for perfectly preserving the fresh taste is not half a star.

Sulla eats more than Merlin, the owner, and usually doesn't have a very good appetite in the hot summers. Sula and Raj mostly feed on fruit in Ashfurnace Village, especially Sula, who has no awareness of Merlin as his master, and Merlin has not yet moved, and half of the crystal grapes on the plate have gone.

"A young man should look like a young man," Yoda staggered up to Merlin's bamboo house, "and look at you, as if you were an old man." ”

"Don't you know that there are days every month when people are very depressed," Merlin said with a wet handkerchief over his face, and the water of the sweet spring moistened his face, "Research has proved that men also have menstrual cycles, and there are always a few days a month when the mood is very depressed." ”

Suddenly, a red cloud rose over Sura's face.

"You can't eat fruit during your period," Merlin said out of nowhere, "you don't even know this." ”

The base of Sura's embarrassed white neck turned red, she lifted her foot and stomped heavily on the floor, turned around and staggered downstairs.

"What are you messing with her again?" said Yoda with a laugh.

"She is now a prisoner of Ash Furnace Village, and to be a prisoner, you must have the consciousness of being a prisoner. ”

"Don't you think the two of them are strange? You didn't suspect anything?" asked Yoda.

"Doubt, can't you even believe in the judgment of the gods?Or do you think that the pretty girl with the spire is a witch. Merlin couldn't help but sigh, in fact, what he suspected the most should be the goblin in front of him, a tattered linen shirt can't hide that quiet and calm temperament, especially the wisdom light flashing in his eyes, with Merlin's countless eyes, such a temperament must be a big man. But he was a prisoner in Ash Furnace Mountain.

"Of course not, the judgment of the gods is the most just and selfless, of course it is believed. Yoda was speechless.

"What a pity that such beautiful girls were burned to death, and since the divine judgments have proved that they are pure, what can I not believe? Merlin got up from his rocking chair. He suddenly felt that farting and chatting with this old goblin was a waste of his time.

Just yesterday, Merlin's opinion of Old Bill changed to a three-digit 219, and although Ashfurnace Mountain was still the highest number, Merlin's change still made Merlin feel sad.

The saddest thing in this world is that you don't know why you lose someone's friendship, something must have happened in the dungeon, Old Bill wouldn't say, Merlin didn't want to ask.

The quarry was a very important place, and it was very reassuring to hand it over to old Bill Merlin, but he still felt panicked in his heart.

Augustine had already said that as long as the quarry produced something, Hippoa would buy it all. Because until now, all the materials for the construction of the monastery had been transported from outside the village of Ashhearth. If you can get the stone on the spot in the Ashfurnace Village, the monastery can be built much faster.

The essence of growing up is the process of losing something, Merlin has very few things in Adrianople, so little that he doesn't want to lose anything, but some things are not up to him, he can take the entire Ashfurnace Mountain warriors to save a person, but there is no way to stop a person from alienating him.

Bill was carried back, and two strong warriors carried him. On a hot afternoon, Old Bill was still wrapped in a thick blanket, but he still couldn't help shivering.

"It's cold, it's so cold, I'm going to freeze to death. Merlin burned a brazier at Old Bill's side, but it was useless.

Merlin knows how to scrape and knows a little bit about children's common diseases, but he can't see a reason for Old Bill's illness, but there is a special doctor here. The priests of the Church, the elders of the Arian sect, these people were the full-time doctors.

"Your Highness, Bill, he is possessed by the devil. I'm sure. "I swear in the name of the Holy Father that this old Goth is demon-possessed, and just last month there was a young man with the same condition, still wrapped in a thick blanket on a hot summer day. ”

"Get out, you get out of here. The veins on Merlin's forehead bulged like earthworms, and he almost couldn't help but hit someone. This guy who doesn't know how to learn anything but pretend to be a magic stick.

"Augustine, can old Bill be saved?" Merlin pinned his hopes on the convent, at least for the past time, Augustine was more reliable than the priests of the church.

"Your Highness, listen to me, this ......," the elder of the monastery spoke, slurring, "this, such a disease as Father Bill's has been found in the monastery, and many people die every year because of this. We don't have any particularly good solutions. ”

"Isn't there anything even St. Thomas can do?" Merlin's expression turned hideous, "Isn't the saint's healing technique also effective?"

"You know, how can the healing techniques of saints be used on civilians," Augustine took a step back unconsciously, "but last year there was a marquis who also died like this, and everyone thought that he was possessed by the ice demon. The saint was also unable to dispel the ice demon inside him. ”

"Scum, you are all a bunch of scum," Merlin couldn't help laughing, what kind of ice demon possession is this, high fever in the summer, chills all over, covered with a thick quilt still shivering, this is typical malaria. Old Bill contracted malaria after being bitten by a mosquito with the virus.

"I want Artemisia annua, Artemisia annua, the more the better. Merlin shouted at Augustine, "Tell the saints to get all the Artemisia annua from Hippo, and I'm going to expel the ice demon from Bill's body." ”
