26. Woe to the waters
Ding Dong, the system's heavenly voice sounded in Merlin's mind, "The clue to the discovery of the Cloud Strike Technique, legend has it that in the ancient texts of the Arius School, there is an ancient technique hidden. ”
Merlin only remembered at this time that he had promised Augustine to help him copy the scriptures, but after so many days, there was no movement.
Since you can't go anywhere, why don't you start copying the Book of Doomsday tomorrow, Merlin thought, and fell asleep soundly as he smelled the scent of fresh rushes.
Life in Ashfurnace Village has returned to its original state, in fact, even if there is no martial law from the lord, after the sights of kobolds, the people of Ashfurnace Village will hide in their homes after dark. Children, in particular, are strictly forbidden to go out.
Perhaps this is the ideal state of Ashfurnace Village, where everyone knows exactly what they should do. Except for one person, the lord of Ashfurnace Village, His Highness Merlin Tesla.
"You go and get Augustine, and say I'm going to start copying his Last Judgment now. "Sula doesn't have the slightest sense of being a servant, and when she has nothing to do, she has a beautiful but cold face. Merlin really had no interest in such a proud little girl. Sometimes he wondered if this beautiful girl could still be so proud if he could be so proud if he was waiting for a leather whip when he was a real lord of Ash Furnace Mountain.
However, Merlin forgot that he was only fifteen years old now, and in fact, in the eyes of other people, Merlin was the most stinky person in the entire Ash Furnace Village, but this was probably difficult for the lord to know. It's like you can see other people's appearances, but you can't figure out your own appearance.
Merlin's deepness or low-key emanated from the depths of his soul, as those who knew him well around him often said, "How can a young man stay in a grassroots position for thirteen years?" ”
"I'm too lazy to move!" Merlin said to herself.
"I don't care what you are, you can see more than my old bones. The old cadre who taught Merlin Baduanjin said, "But if you can practice the strength of the mountain, it shows that you are still enthusiastic." ”
In fact, Merlin really can't say anything about this matter, and it seems that he can really be enthusiastic about the things he likes for many years, such as sticking to the mountain, such as calligraphy.
Augustine quickly brought the things over, along with a pair of old tables, chairs and benches. "St. Thomas heard that His Royal Highness Merlin was ill and had already rushed over from the Abbey of Michel, and it is estimated that he will arrive the day after tomorrow. ”
Merlin never thought that an old man who had never been masked would be so attentive to him, but then he heard Augustine say, "Your Highness, you must not have anything to do, whether the Arius Academy can have one more cardinal high priest depends on the Book of Doom in your hand." ”
Merlin was also in a good mood with great difficulty, and was instantly washed away by this flattering dogleg. The so-called saints are also unprofitable and do not get up early.
When Merlin lifted the quill, all these unpleasantness disappeared, and this is Merlin's cultivation after more than 20 years of immersion. It is not unreasonable for many people to regard calligraphy as a way to practice, but there are very few young people in the empire who understand this truth, and in this era when there is almost no need to use a pen, there are still a few people who will spend ten or twenty years practicing calligraphy. Merlin would, and he practiced for twenty-five years.
The qi sank dantian, slightly lifted, the forearm was lightly suspended, and the lifting was as light as heavy. Merlin has always believed that the final hardship must be arranged for the best. Just like now, who would have thought that a hand-copied Book of the Last Judgment would actually relate to the cardinal high priest of the Arius School.
None of this had anything to do with Merlin, who only had the scriptures in his eyes. The twisted tadpoles turn into dragons, snakes, and twist and circle as if they come to life under Merlin's pen.
"Your Highness's handwriting is so pretty?" Sula didn't know when she was standing behind Merlin.
"What's a good idea?" Merlin put down the quill in his hand, "Tell me about it!" "It seems that it is still necessary to make a wolf's hair, and this quill has never been able to exert all of Merlin's skills.
"I can't say what's good," Sula didn't have a cold face, "in short, it's good-looking." ”
"It's good, you just look at it a little longer. Merlin rubbed his wrist gently, the base of this body was still too thin, and the wrist strength would be weak if it took a little longer to copy. However, these basic skills are not in a hurry, and Merlin believes that he will get better after practicing for a while.
"Sura, I want water!" Merlin's days when he wasn't copying books began to get boring again, and when he got bored, he wanted to do something less boring. Merlin has always felt that humans are social creatures, and this characteristic has led to a desire to communicate with different people. And having such a young and beautiful girl by her side, even if it is eye-catching, is an excellent thing.
"You're there next to you!" It's a pity that Sula doesn't cooperate at all, in fact, she can't be blamed for this, Merlin's current dignity, Sulla's ability to stay in this room is a kind of torment in itself. The people of Grey Furnace Mountain don't know what chickenpox is all about, and in their impressions, Merlin is cursed, cursed by a vicious witch.
"I like to drink hot water. Merlin laughed.
Sula took the kettle off the table with a cold face, and there were only a few people in the entire Ashfurnace Mountain who had a three-digit favorability for Merlin, and Sula was among them. This is the strangest place that drove Merlin to the ground.
Bang, a steaming hot water was placed on the desk in front of Merlin. The splashes of water fell onto the table, almost onto the manuscript that Merlin was copying.
"Are you the one who treated you as a savior?"
"What?"
"I mean, you're the one I saved in Hippa City, aren't you?" Merlin laughed, "Do you strangers treat your lifesavers like this?"
"You, you," Sulla's smile flushed, "what do you think?"
"I don't see it," Merlin knew to talk to these thin-skinned goddesses, and to pretend to be stupid, the more stupid the better. "I guessed, I didn't recognize you, I guessed after I recognized Raj. ”
"Thanks to His Highness Merlin that day!" Sulla's face softened, and he solemnly thanked Merlin.
Merlin shook his head, it's really, usually the goddesses of the calamity level are all emotionally worried, Merlin remembers that this was said by the guy who called himself the wolf of Shuangyashan who slept on Merlin's top bunk when he was in Shuangyashan.
Looking back on more than 30 years of life experience, this guy's words are quite reasonable. So relatively speaking, Merlin prefers to deal with cute girls like Raj.
