104. Choice of fork
Wow, Merlin quickly wrote a contract on papyrus, and the tadpole text carved a majestic flavor in Merlin's pen.
"What is this?" The future star of the Apocalypse Academy, the proud disciple of Dean Meiji, shivered under Merlin's nose.
"It's nothing, since you owe so much gold, then you can only work to pay it off. My principle is not to raise people who do not work. From today, your salary is 60 gold coins per month. Merlin shoved the papyrus in front of the Second Ring caster, "As long as you sign it, you can move around Ashburn Mountain at will." ”
"Is it so much?" Barbara's eyes were confused, 60 gold coins a month, the professor of the Apocalypse Academy was almost only this much salary.
"It's not much, with this kind of income, including the benefits of the holidays, you will probably have to work for me in the Ashfurnace Valley for fifty years!" Merlin smiled, "Of course, you can also refuse, but I'm sure the Dean of the Apocalypse Academy will be happy to see this contract." ”
The behavior of the casters is strictly regulated, and the Academy of Apocalypse has repeatedly warned those rookies that they are not allowed to cast spells among civilians, and if they cause a bad impact, they will be severely punished by the Academy of Apocalypse.
The church is quite repulsive to these mystics, but the Apocalypse Academy's practices have also earned them a high reputation among the civilians, so Merlin is not worried about Barbara leaving, if she can't calm the impact of her spell on the civilians, Merlin only needs to send a letter to the Apocalypse Academy, and naturally the Academy's law enforcement team will come forward to punish her.
"Alright, I'll sign!" Barbara's face turned pale.
This papyrus contract, written by the legendary lord Merlin himself, will later be kept in the library of the Apocalypse Academy for future apprentices to be admired by the Legendary Spellcaster, Lord Barbara, who will regard it as a lifelong shame. Lord Lord Baggins in the south spent a million gold coins to buy the manuscript of the legendary lord, and many of the letters from the legendary lord were written in secret arts, and the value was much lower.
Having a second-ring spellcaster eat for white in the prison of Ashfurnace is obviously not Merlin's style, and soon Barbara has a separate office on the second floor of Ashhearth.
"Now your mission is to deal with the undead skeletons that have come out of the Black Forest above the north mountain of Ashfurnace Village. They have already appeared in the lord's apple orchard. Father Yuri placed the mage book and magic wand in front of Barbara.
"Aren't you worried about me running away?" Barbara quickly pocketed the caster's weapon, and immediately regained her aura when she faced Yuri.
"Uh, I'm just a messenger. Yuri immediately realized that the atmosphere of the conversation between the two was something he had not expected. The caster's cold face and clenched teeth seemed to brew something bad.
"Ice Arrow!" The temperature in the stone chamber dropped violently, and a sharp ice pick appeared out of thin air and flew towards Yuri's ass. Even if the priest took the first step, he still did not escape the fate of his ass being frozen.
"His Highness Merlin will have to make progress and plans in the next week. Yuri rolled down the steps from the second floor.
Life is back to what it used to be, and everyone is busy, except for Merlin. Drogba leads the kobolds in clearing the woods after the fire. Large and small stumps were dug out of the ground and piled up together. Sulla still spends her days at the watermill. Leah sat under the shade of the tree every day sewing little clothes, and she didn't sit for too long. After sitting for a while, you have to stand up and move around.
The third floor of Ashoven is only lived by Merlin, but it is very lively. Kate was busy decorating her room every day, and the décor she liked was full of orc roughness. Dry horns, patterned hides, or the teeth of some wild beasts.
Sulla, as Merlin's slave, dragged Raj to occupy two rooms on the third floor of Ashhearth, while Phil dragged a wolf to the third floor, where its pitiful cries could be heard every day. Old Bill thought the third floor was too high, so he chose a room on the first floor, near the city gate.
When the Ashoven Fort was designed, Merlin was considered according to the capacity of 5,000 people, and now the entire territory has a population of only 500, including the elderly and children. So it looks like the place is all empty.
The slaves brought back from Hippor were placed on the lowest floor, and Merlin placed them in the middle of the villagers of Ashfurnace Village, one for five men and one for each woman. The purpose of this was to make it easier for the villagers and slaves to get along.
Small groups are inevitable everywhere, and Merlin doesn't want the slaves from the desert country to be hostile to each other with the villagers of Ashfurnace. Now there are more than 300 of these slaves, all of them young and middle-aged. There are only two hundred people in Ash Furnace Village, and they still count the old people and children.
In the future, the population of Ashfurnace Village will become more and more, if the relationship between outsiders and local natives cannot be handled, it will be a big problem, the strong fortresses are breached from the inside, and the reason why Merlin built a Ashfurnace Fort is to live a stable life.
The ones who survived Roy's slave ship were young men, and the last slaves to fall and be abandoned by Roy were actually very strong, otherwise they would have been thrown from the ship into the sea by Roy to feed the fish during the journey to the Endless Ocean.
The effect of Ganquan was amazing, and the men arrived at Ashfurnace Castle, but they were almost able to get out of bed and walk in three days. Every two days, Roots transports a shipload of fresh fish to the docks in the Ash Furnace Valley. Merlin was worried that the fish would be difficult to preserve in the summer, so he made a few cages in the moat outside Ashforge. Fish kept in cages almost survive.
More than 300 people consumed a lot of fresh fish every day, and in the end Roots simply left a fishing boat to fish near the dock in Ash Furnace Village, and the one that remained actually had a fork, and he was embarrassed to come to see Merlin at first, but after a few days he had to beg to come to the door.
"You want to join Ashhearth?"
"I've heard that joining Ashfurnace can divide the house and the land?" Fork asked.
"Yes, if you are a knight, you can get a house on the second floor of the Ashhearth, plus a piece of land outside the Ashhearth, which is not large, only one hectare. Merlin's eyes were full of smiles, a guy like a fork who dared to reach out to the Silver Knight was a restless lord everywhere, but Ashfurnace Castle was such a restless person now, and the more people like that, the better.
"I'll join, immediately join Ashkeep. Fork said impatiently.
