Chapter 71 Planning (Part 1)
【Ask for collection and recommendation! 】
Merlin and the others followed the cavalry of Count Purmont, passed Ravensburg, and came to a small town. This small town did not look very big. Everyone in it was also a soldier. War supplies were piled up everywhere. A gathering place to build supplies to supply Fort Ravens.
The legendary heretical kingdom, the barbaric, evil, and terrifying kingdom of the Black Moon, appeared in front of Merlin and others at this time. Old Wilson looked solemn and did not speak, but Merlin could still feel it from his eyes. Inner complex changes.
After all, old Wilson, who once participated in the extremely difficult and cruel "Slaughterhouse" battle, fought with these heretics of the Black Moon Kingdom for several years, but now he has set foot on the land of heretics, and he will naturally have some subtleties in his heart. The change.
Except for Old Wilson, the others, such as Mei Xue, Mrs. Busty, Avril, etc., didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, they seemed very novel. They opened the curtain and looked around.
After returning to the small town, the team of knights led by the Earl of Purmont began to leave gradually.
"Commander Baine, you take Mage Merlin's family to rest first."
Earl Pumang nodded slightly to Merlin and said with a smile: "Mage Merlin, my castle is in front of you, please go in and talk!"
Old Wilson suddenly opened his mouth and said in a low voice, "Merlin, is there no danger?"
"Father, this is the Black Moon Kingdom, the holy land for spellcasters. Don't worry, I'll be fine. You guys go to rest first and discuss the next step when I get back."
After Merlin explained to old Wilson, he followed behind the Earl of Purmont and walked into the castle.
There are many knights in Count Purmont's castle, all of them murderous, and Merlin's spiritual power has also detected that there are some powerful knights watching his every move in the dark.
But what makes Merlin strange is that he did not sense the spiritual power of some other spellcasters. Old Wilson once mentioned that in some military fortresses in the Black Moon Kingdom, some spellcasters are stationed all year round. But Merlin didn't find any spellcaster until he walked into the castle of the Count of Purmont.
Following the Earl of Purmont into the hall, the warm breath from the fireplace permeated the entire hall.
Count Pumang took off his heavy armor, sat on a wooden chair at will, and waved to Merlin: "Mage Merlin, you're welcome, please take a seat."
After Merlin sat down, the maids in the castle brought a small cup of soup that looked a little sticky, with some black leaves floating on it and odd pieces that looked like fish scales. There was also the smell of fish in the heat.
Earl Purmont smiled slightly, raised the cup and said, "Mage Merlin, try my ice fish soup from Fort Ravens first."
Count Pumang raised his head, drank the broth in the cup, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Merlin wasn't interested in such a strange broth, but he couldn't help being a little curious when Count Pumont was drinking so happily, so he picked up the cup and took a sip.
The taste of ice fish soup is a bit sour, but after swallowing the fish soup, there are bursts of sweetness on the tip of the tongue. When the fish soup is eaten, a warm feeling rises up quickly and spreads rapidly throughout the body. Can't help but groan in comfort.
Merlin immediately drank the soup in the cup, squinted his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but admire: "Not bad, this ice fish soup is really wonderful."
In a foreign country, there is a big difference in eating and drinking.
After drinking the ice fish soup, Earl Puman felt that his body was much warmer, so he asked casually, "Mage Merlin came to Ravensburg all the way, I'm afraid it won't be easy. I don't know what plans Mage Merlin has in the future?"
"Intend?"
Merlin thought about it for a while, and then replied, "Settle down first, then think about other things."
In an unfamiliar country, the first thing is to stabilize and become familiar with the environment.
Count Pumang's eyes shone with gleams of light, suddenly lowered his voice, and said solemnly: "Mage Merlin, you should be a free mage! Then why don't you join me in Ravensburg, stationed in Ravensburg? There should be some powerful elemental swordsmen in your family, they can also join me in Ravensburg, I can guarantee that your family in Ravensburg will definitely live well."
"Join the army? Dear Count Pumang, I'm really sorry, we just want to settle down in the Black Moon Kingdom first, and we have just experienced a hard battle in the Kingdom of Light, so I and my family don't want to join for the time being. army."
Merlin hardly thought about it, and immediately refused.
Old Wilson will definitely not agree to join the army of the Black Moon Kingdom because of his former identity. Moreover, Merlin is still thinking of becoming a more powerful spellcaster in the Black Moon Kingdom, so it is even more impossible to tie himself to the army. .
Moreover, the current situation in the Kingdom of Light is unstable, and no one can say whether a war will break out. If a war breaks out, I am afraid that Ravensburg will bear the brunt and face danger.
Naturally, Merlin would not join Fort Ravens and join the army of the Black Moon Kingdom at this time.
"That's such a pity..."
Count Purmont shrugged with a look of regret on his face.
"Lord Count, Madam asked you to come back to the house, saying that it is urgent."
A maid in gray hurriedly came to the hall and said in a low voice.
"What happened?"
Earl Pumang frowned, looked upstairs with some doubts, then stood up and said to Merlin, "Mage Merlin, you sit down for a while, I'll come when I go."
Immediately, the Earl of Purmont stood up and walked up to the second floor.
In a room on the second floor, a plump woman was anxiously walking back and forth in the room, looking up at the door from time to time.
"Ma'am, what happened, so anxious?"
The Count of Purmont hurriedly opened the door and saw the countess who was walking back and forth in the house, looking a little uneasy.
The Countess hesitated, but finally picked up a letter on the table and handed it to Count Purmont, whispering, "It's a letter from my brother Celine, you can read it yourself."
"Count Celine? What happened to him?"
The Count of Purmont suspiciously took the letter from the countess's hand, opened it and read it.
But gradually, Count Pumang frowned, his face became more and more ugly, and there was a hint of anger in his expression.
