Chapter 656: Merlin's Mentor (Sincere Thanks to the Leader, King Rong)

Overgrown with grass in front of the local women's convent, this fortress-like stone building is the last refuge of those poor Anglo-Saxon women in Britain.

Through the small square window in the door, Leocliffe begged: "Dear Sister, I am sending these girls to be with the nuns and women. Will you take care of her for me?"

Tophie and Judith's hands were tightly held together.

"I'm sorry, we can't accommodate more people here." A nun who appeared in the window refused their request.

"Sister, there are only some poor women here." Leocliff begged, and some of the women beside him clasped their hands and prayed, while others were indifferent, dull and hopeless. like.

"Our place is overcrowded, and many people from the nearby villages have fled in. I'm really sorry." The nun showed pity, but she still refused decisively, "Maybe you can try going to a monastery further north."

"I am the captain of the Royal Militia, and I order you to open the door!" Leo Cliff ordered.

"We won't open the door because of the soldiers' orders. That's why you sent the folks here." The nun's voice was condensed and her tone was firm.

Leocliffe nodded, frustrated: "You're right." He nodded, "Please accept my apology, let's go." He lowered his head, turned around and brought those who couldn't help The sobbing women leave.

"Wait." Just as Allen was about to use magic to change the opponent's mind, the nun suddenly stopped them. She closed the small window on the door, the door creaked, and the nun opened the door, she blinked her eyes, nodded her head towards the door, with a relieved look on her face, and a hint of helplessness. , "Come in, find the empty floor yourself."

After the women saluted and thanked the militiamen, they quickly walked in the door.

Among the women, only Judith was left holding Tofi's hand. She looked at her husband with tears in her eyes, and was reluctant to enter. Once she lets go, she doesn't know when the goodbye will be, and more importantly, she can't be sure whether she will meet again! Those Normans were very ferocious and cruel, and it was impossible to think about what they did to them. She really didn't want to leave Tophy, leave her husband's protection, and she didn't want her husband to face those mortal demons.

Tophy took his wife into his arms distressedly, and kissed her forehead, "Oh, Judith, what should I do?" He said Judith, but looked at Leo Cliff , he didn't say it, but Leocliffe saw what he wanted to say.

"Tophy, we have to go to Hastings, come on, your wife will be fine here." Leo Cliffe, the new captain of the militia, pulled his best friend.

"No, I'm fed up with war!" But it seemed that Tofei had made a decision instead, and he slapped his best friend's hand and refused.

Leo Cliff seemed to be irritated, and he grabbed Tophy by the collar: "Look, you are thinking about the days after the war, and then you will tell your children that you are sitting on a high mountain, watching Watch England fall to pieces."

Tofi also stared at his best friend: "I want my wife to stay with me from now on!"

"Go with him. After the war, we will rebuild our homeland, which belongs to our English people." Judith caressed the face of her newly reunited husband. She had experienced the brutality of the Normans and knew what would happen to him Treating them, the English, so he overcame his own selfish desires and joined the ranks of persuasion.

Allen, who had been leading Merlin without making a sound, couldn't help persuading him: "Personally, I also suggest that you two temporarily run to the mountains and hide until the war is over." The army was annihilated and corpses were strewn all over the field, so he also wanted to persuade these two fateful villagers not to risk their lives in vain.

Leocliffe's usually sloppy face rarely showed a serious expression. He had always hated military service before, and he looked at Allen and said solemnly: "Britain will not allow me to be a deserter.

I am a soldier of Crowhurst, and a soldier of England. He turned his head to look at the ajar door of the monastery, "It's also for them." "

Alan admired his courage and persistence. He didn't try to persuade him any more. He just touched Merlin who was silent by the side, "Are you going to go in with your sister? I think this nun will agree to let you in even if I don't use magic. Yes, there are quite a few women with children inside."

Merlin pursed his lips and hesitated for a long time, and finally expressed his thoughts: "Master Wizard, I know you have terrifying power, if possible, can you accept me as your apprentice, teach me how to use these powers, so that I will be able to protect them myself in the future..."

This time Allen did not refuse, he looked at the little boy in front of him who was ignored by those Muggles under the influence of the spell, "I can send you to the place where you learn magic, that is the best magic in the world School - Hogwarts, where you will gain power."

Historically, Merlin himself went to school at Hogwarts, and the college was Slytherin—the green ribbon of the Order of Merlin, First Class, was to commemorate Merlin's graduate school, just like when he exchanged gems with the centaur from As Matilda, the leader of the centaur, said, after graduation, Merlin for some reason changed the time like himself and returned to the time he belonged to five or six hundred years ago. The leader of the Knights of the Round Table, an almost mythical legend, King Arthur known as the "Eternal King" - Arthur? Pendragon has today's status in the wizarding world.

Merlin heard that he was a little disappointed because he couldn't be taught by Alan who had witnessed the magic of the other party, but he nodded obediently, but this action reminded Alan of his little sister, Sweet Bear Emily, Some Allen, who felt that he was a little too cold, stretched out his hand and rubbed the other person's head, "Before I send you into Hogwarts, I can take you with me for a while before leaving, and you can learn some things from me during this period." Things, don’t worry, in this day and age, it seems that although it is customary for apprentices to work for a long time, the instructor will teach them little by little, but I obviously don’t need you kid to do anything for me, it’s your job to learn as much as possible gone."

"Yes, my mentor." The beaming Merlin nodded again and again, and he, who was smart, also noticed the key words that his mentor inadvertently said, and the wizard apprentice was a little shocked, "This era? Isn't the mentor from this era? "

At the beginning, Allen reflexively wanted to deny this title. After all, he could not teach the other party for too long, but then he realized that the other party was named Merlin. Alan, who felt a little ashamed after a long list of titles, finally nodded in the boy's title with some ecstasy as an acknowledgment of the relationship.

On the other side, Judith's tears were rolling down her eyes, "No, Tophy, I..."

"Honey, wait for me to come back." Tophy reluctantly pushed Judith's hand away from her arm.

It was finally time to say goodbye, and Allen walked up to the nun waiting in front of the door, and stuffed the heavy purse into his hand. Feeling the weight of the money bag in her hand, the nun opened it and looked at it, her expression froze slightly, then she quickly closed the bag, and asked the foreign busker who seemed to appear suddenly in surprise, "Busker, who are you? Are you donating money?" What are you going to do with so much money?"

Alan pointed to Judith who walked in through the door, and replied briefly: "For these kind villagers who can entertain the poor and foreigners, and for your kindness, my craftsmanship is not bad, and the money is still worth it." earned."

The nun didn't ask any more questions. During this period of time, Britain has shown too many extreme evils and extremely good human natures. She greeted Judith and entered the door. Under the inseparable eyes of the newlyweds, the heavy wooden door Close again.
