"Be careful, Your Highness," Edessa suddenly reminded, "don't touch those stone tombstones, they will trigger the trap, and I was injured here yesterday." ”

Bill nodded, stretched out his long javelin and tapped it lightly on the stone, shuddering, and a strange sound accompanied by a half-meter-long iron spike suddenly appeared and then quickly retracted.

Merlin broke out in a cold sweat, fortunately when Edessa was going to come with him just now, Merlin didn't refuse, if he wasn't here, the consequences would be very serious. More than thirty people were scattered in front of the megalithic statue, and if they were stabbed by a half-meter-long iron thorn, they would be crippled even if they did not die.

An imperceptible panic arose between the dog-fighting squads, and at this time there was a clear difference between the villagers of Ashfurnace Mountain and the slaves of Adrianople. The slaves brought by Merlin were only a little nervous, and the formation between them was still not chaotic. The villagers of Ash Furnace Mountain were different, the chaos lasted for almost a minute and did not subside, some of them did not know where to throw their weapons in their hands, and some simply hid behind the big trees next to them.

Merlin tells Lance to reassemble the Dog Squad, while Tom leads the slaves to the megalithic statue.

The serpent's fangs seemed to be about to be devoured by the light of the torches, "This is it," a few drops of blood still bright red from the hole under the fangs gave off a faint smell of blood.

Augustine picks up a stone and throws it into the cave. Dangdang, the sound of stone crashing came from the dark cave.

A few slaves brought out prepared dry firewood, mixed with some green mugwort leaves, which Augustine had brought from Michel's monastery in Hippo. The dry wood mixed with mugwort leaves was quickly ignited, and a white smoke came out, and the burning mugwort leaves emitted a unique smell, and Merlin showed an intoxicated expression, which was this familiar smell.

Mei Xiaolin had been living in her grandmother's house in the countryside before she went to Shuangyashan University, and her memories of the whole summer were full of the smell of mugwort leaves. On days when there is no air conditioner and fan, the burning mugwort leaves are like the kind eyes of grandma, accompanying Mei Xiaolin through every unforgettable summer.

Augustine, on the other hand, was not at all aware of Merlin's peculiar fetishes, but he was not surprised that St. Thomas had the same hobby at the Abbey of Michel.

The other members of the dog-fighting squad had a completely different attitude, they stayed away from the burning smoke, some even threw up while holding on to the tree, and some couldn't help but burst into tears.

It must be poisonous, many thought, and then they watched as Merlin pushed the burning fire into the hole and rolled inside.

Lance couldn't help but tremble in his calves, he immediately decided that he must be more pious when he saw the lord in the future, it was better not to be an enemy of such a big man, when he watched Merlin push a few more burning fires into the cave, he began to frown, he thought of the chubby boy at home, he said a lot of bad things about the lord in the past few days.

Young teenagers will become stronger and stronger in the process of growing up, and then they will try to challenge their father, Lance understands this very well, Drogba is almost as tall as him, at this age he can no longer listen to Lance's words, these Lance are not worried, but the words that Lance has heard about the new lord of Ashfurnace Village in the past two days are what makes old Lance a headache.

"Maybe it's time to send him away, Winter Bear can only be a strong warrior in the wasteland. When Lance came to his senses, there was only a little smoke left from the hole.

Merlin gave each slave a wet linen cloth and wrapped it around his face to cover his mouth and nose. "Lance, you take the villagers to guard the entrance of the cave, and I will lead the others into the cave. ”

"No, Your Highness, absolutely not. Old Bill said excitedly, "I don't know what is going on below, how can Your Highness go down and take an adventure?" Old Bill stood at the entrance of the cave and blocked Merlin's way.

Merlin's eyes lit up, and black bear patterns appeared on Old Bill's forehead, hands and feet, except for his face, he was covered with black bear patterns, and Old Bill's awakened mind beast was a black bear.

"Your Highness, you can stay at the entrance of the cave with peace of mind, and a few kobolds will be handed over to Old Bill. Although I only have one hand, a litter of kobolds is still trivial. Bill laughed and stepped into the hole.

Merlin didn't insist, it can be said that Old Bill is the only person he has ever trusted in the entire Ashfurnace Mountain, and Old Bill is right, Merlin, as the lord of Ashfurnace Mountain, is indeed not too suitable to personally take risks, and Merlin has not awakened the Mind Beast now, as an ordinary person, it is too dangerous to face a group of unknown kobolds in the cave.

Merlin didn't go down, but he sent Tom down. Tom is the supreme force of Ashheart, and he is the knight of the pinnacle of Black Iron. If he stays in Adrianople, he will soon become the captain of the squad, to put it simply, all the slave fighters of the dog squad together are not Tom's opponents, this is the strength of the Black Iron Knight.

Ordinary people who have not awakened the Soul Beast can reach the height of the Black Iron Knight at most, but there are a few people who can break through to the Silver Knight, but the people who awaken the Mind Beast are born Black Iron Knights, and they can reach the peak of the Golden Knight, and some of them can also break through the Gold Level to reach the Holy Knight. However, the only three Holy Knights on the entire continent are related to the Church.

Tom, the knight of black iron, walked at the front of the line with a shield in one hand and a Roman dagger in the other.

After walking down the stairs for about ten meters or so, Tom appeared in front of three fires emitting white smoke, and there were not many sparks in the fires, and further inside was a hall supported by rows of stone pillars, and the hall was empty, and not a single figure was visible.

Tom turned back and exchanged a look with Bill, and behind Bill a slave with a torch stepped forward and lit the path ahead of Tom.

Tom walked down the hallway, and suddenly a skeleton with a bone axe came out of the shadows in front of him.

It was at this moment that Merlin's ears rang with the system's pleasant voice: Discover the dungeon.

Merlin was secretly frightened, knowing that Bill had made an important discovery under the cave, so he summoned the villagers of Ashfurnace Mountain to form a formation around the megalithic statue and wait for it.
