Chapter 32: The Territory (Part II)
[The third watch is completed...... Ask for collections, recommended tickets!]
The next day, as soon as it was dawn, the castle of Wilson was bustling with activity, and a group of light-armored knights, more than sixty people, waited at the gate.
"Be careful, don't make a stopover and go straight to my father's territory. ”
Mei Xue carefully told Merlin, she had already learned the news that Merlin was going to the territory last night, and at that time the housekeeper had already arranged everything, even if Mei Xue wanted to stop it, it was too late.
Merlin nodded, and then stepped into the carriage, this time the distance was long, almost a day's walk, so that Merlin had familiar people available, so it was Moss who drove.
"Moss, let's go. ”
With Merlin's order, Merlin, escorted by many knights, slowly left the castle of Wilson.
The carriage quickly drove out of Blackwater City, and Merlin came to Blackwater City for the first time and saw the world outside the city, so he didn't meditate, but opened the curtain of the car and looked around at the scenery outside the city.
The road outside the city is very bumpy, compared to the inside of the city, which is made of smooth stones, and the road outside the city is at best just some mud mixed with some gravel, which is randomly paved on the ground, and the ravines are all over the ground, one high and one low, even if Moss is skilled in driving the carriage, it cannot make the carriage stable.
Fortunately, Merlin's body has become very strong after being recuperated by the mysterious posture on the relief, so Merlin can still withstand this little bump.
Merlin's carriage was in the middle of the knights' ranks, and when Merlin lifted the curtain, he could see a knight next to him, about sixteen or seventeen years old, and the shepherd looked very immature, but his hands were covered with thick calluses, which were caused by years of holding his sword.
"What's your name?"
Merlin asked the young knight.
The young knight hurriedly replied respectfully, "Young Master Merlin, my name is Agurts. ”
"Agurts, how many years have you been at Castle Wilson?"
"Master Merlin, I was chosen by Lord Baron three years ago, and after two years of hard training, I was finally promoted to knight. ”
There was a hint of gratitude and pride on Agurts' face, and Merlin also knew that a noble knight was already a very glorious thing in the eyes of the commoners.
Become a knight of the nobility, in the territory of the nobility, the whole family can get some tax exemptions or reductions, so becoming a knight next to the nobility is the dream of countless commoner children.
Agurts was able to become a knight at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and in addition to training hard, he should have a high talent.
"Are you a fire attribute physique?"
Merlin continued to ask, as he could sense that some of the fire elementals around him were entering Agurts's side in a steady stream.
"Yes, Young Master Merlin, I have a fire-attribute physique, but if I hadn't met Lord Baron, I would have starved to death. Lord Baron once said that a knight must be loyal, righteous, brave, and dedicated, and I will follow Lord Baron and become his knight for the rest of my life. This is also my first mission, Master Merlin, you can rest assured, even if I encounter thieves, I will definitely protect your safety. ”
Agurts's tone was solemn and sincere, and Merlin could feel that this was what Agurts really thought.
Looking at the sincerity on Agurts's face, Merlin nodded slightly, then lowered the curtain and retracted his head back into the carriage.
"Protect me?"
Merlin couldn't help but shake his head, his current physical fitness was basically comparable to the peak of a first-level elemental swordsman, and he was also a mysterious and powerful spellcaster, who else did he need to protect?
However, this also reflects the methods of old Wilson from the side, and the knights under his command are all very loyal to old Wilson.
This also made Merlin vigilant in his heart, old Wilson is extraordinary, very shrewd, if you see old Wilson in the territory, you can't talk much, you must be cautious, so as not to reveal flaws.
Merlin only looked at the scenery outside the city for a while before losing interest, so he lay on his side in the carriage and began to meditate on his spiritual power.
"Master Merlin, it's time to reach the territory. ”
I don't know how long it took for Merlin to wake up from meditation.
"Is it there?"
Merlin opened the curtain and found that it was dusk, and the sky was getting a little darker. At the end of a rugged path is a huge castle, the castle in the old Wilson territory.
The castle looks very old, with a pointed dome, blackened bricks on the walls, and a section of the wall that can be seen to have been renovated.
Merlin jumped out of the carriage and walked forward on foot, several knights guarding Merlin's surroundings, and they did not let their guard down even when they reached the territory.
"Stop, who are you?"
As soon as they got close to the castle, four guards blocked the way.
A knight beside Merlin hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This is Young Master Merlin, and he has something important to do with the Baron in the territory. ”
"Master Merlin?"
The guards were suspicious, they hadn't seen Merlin, but they had heard that Baron Wilson had a son named Merlin.
"Young Master Merlin, please wait a moment, we will let Commander Pula come and confirm. ”
The guards did not let Merlin enter the castle, but sent someone to the castle to find Commander Pula.
Merlin frowned, not because he was disgruntled when he was stopped, but because the guards in the castle were a little too cautious, could it be that something happened in the castle that made the castle so heavily guarded?
"Ask in detail when Pula comes. ”
Merlin had already sensed that perhaps something had happened to the castle during this time, but everything would not be known until Pula arrived.
After waiting for a while, Pula's figure finally appeared, he walked over quickly, and scolded loudly: "Get out of the way, he is Young Master Merlin, you all see it clearly now, all keep in mind, in the future, Young Master Merlin will come, don't stop it!"
Commander Pula reprimanded the guards harshly, and then led Merlin into the castle.
As he walked, Merlin asked, "Uncle Pula, is there something going on in the territory, why is it so heavily guarded?"
Pura hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "It's not a while ago, a large number of thieves were found around the territory, and for safety, the entire territory has entered a wartime state, and the security is very tight. ”
Merlin was a little surprised, he hadn't encountered any thieves along the way, and he thought that the territory had not been disturbed by thieves, but he didn't expect the situation to be so serious.
