Chapter 10 The Commander of Pula

In the hot water, Merlin closed his eyes slightly, but he did not want to sleep, but was quietly experiencing the changes in his body.

"The strength has increased, and the body feels a little more relaxed, but the limbs are a little sore, as if doing strenuous exercise. Is this the effect of those strange postures?"

Merlin clenched his fist lightly, the blue veins were exposed, he could feel his strength increased a little, although it was not obvious, and he was sweating profusely just now, as if he had done strenuous exercise, but Merlin knew very well, He had only maintained the peculiar pose on the relief before.

In general, the posture on the relief seems to make Merlin's body develop in a good direction. Although he doesn't know the origin of the relief, since it has such a magical effect, there is no reason for Merlin not to continue practicing.

Merlin soaked in the tub for a while, washed the smell of sweat from his body, then got up, put on his clothes, saw the relief on the writing desk, Merlin pondered for a while, and gently stroked the pattern on the relief.

Merlin had already remembered the pose on the relief, so the relief was useless for the time being, so he hid it by the head of the bed, opened the door and walked downstairs.

At the dining table downstairs, Mei Xue rested his chin on his left hand, and scribbled something on the table with his right hand, while the housekeeper stood aside. After seeing Merlin coming downstairs, he bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Master Merlin, dinner is over. Ready."

"Okay, I'll keep you all waiting."

Merlin was in a very happy mood, so he also had a good appetite. He cut off a piece of roast lamb shank and drank a glass of milk, so he quickly expelled the chill from his body, and felt warm and comfortable all over his body.

Merlin slightly lifted the plush coat on his body, leaned his head on the back of the chair, narrowed his eyes slightly, and could clearly see the goose feather-like snow outside the gate floating in the air.

"It's so cold, I don't know how my father is?"

Mei Xue also finished eating, looking at the heavy snow outside, she said with a worried expression.

It usually takes three to five days for Old Wilson to go to the territory to collect taxes. If you count the time, Old Wilson will be back soon.

"Dong dong dong".

Suddenly, there was a hurried knock on the door of the confinement, and both Merlin and Mei Xue hurriedly looked out the door. It was so late, who else would come to the castle?

The housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward and opened the door, and a gust of cold wind rushed into the house immediately. In the icy cold wind, Merlin's expression changed slightly. He actually smelled a strong bloody smell in the cold wind.

"Commander Pula? What's the matter with you?"

The butler shouted in surprise that the person standing outside the door was actually the commander-in-chief of the guard beside Old Wilson.

Hearing the butler's exclamation, Merlin immediately had some memories of Pula in his mind. Pula was in command of all the knights in the castle and the territory. Except for Old Wilson, he was almost the most powerful. Ersen's right-hand man, so even Merlin calls Pula an uncle.

"Uncle Pula, why are you back? Did father also come back early?"

Mei Xue also hurriedly stood up and asked excitedly.

Pula went to the territory to collect taxes with old Wilson. Now that Pula has come back, old Wilson should also come back.

But Pula shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "The baron has not returned yet.

"

Everyone's heart sank. Could it be that something happened to Old Wilson?

"It's cold outside, come in and talk."

The housekeeper hurriedly let Pula enter the hall, turned around and closed the door tightly. Suddenly, there was no cold wind in the room, and it seemed a lot warmer.

Only then did Merlin see Pula's appearance clearly. Pura was tall and burly, wearing a silver-white light armor on his upper body, and his short brown hair was quite messy, covered with white snowflakes.

But at this time, Pula's white armor was covered with bright red blood, and the big sword in his hand even had a few gaps, obviously just after a fierce fight.

"Uncle Pula, what's the matter with you? What about father?"

Pula grinned and said: "Hey, Lord Baron is of course all right, but in the process of going to the territory, we encountered a small group of thieves. Lord Baron ordered us to kill this group of thieves. Lord Baron is worried about this group of thieves. If the thieves make a comeback, it will pose a threat to the territory, so I rushed back and transferred a hundred heavy armored knights in the castle!"

Merlin's heart was slightly relieved. It was not a trivial matter to encounter a thief, but Old Wilson had come back from the battlefield, and he was used to fighting for a long time. He had more ways to deal with thieves.

What's more, Old Wilson has long since cultivated a group of heavy armored knights, a total of 150, which can be regarded as the most powerful force in Wilson Castle.

"Uncle Pula, the city is still very peaceful now, and there is no need for so many heavy armored knights to protect the castle. You simply transfer all 150 heavy armored knights to ensure that nothing happens to your father and the territory."

Pula hesitated for a while, but finally nodded and said: "Okay, according to what Master Merlin said, I will transfer all the 150 heavy armored knights, and Master Merlin is also relieved, those thieves are nothing. Under the command of Lord Baron, I don’t know how many heads of Eastern heretics have been cut off, what is this mere thief?”

Pula said with a big laugh, looking very confident. He was also a soldier who followed Old Wilson at the beginning, and experienced a brutal war against Eastern heretics. Later, when Old Wilson was awarded a title by the kingdom, he Also came back with Pula.

Compared with old Wilson, Pula is a standard soldier, belligerent, loyal, decisive, but also cruel, bloody, and bloodthirsty. In the castle, many servants are afraid of Pula's commander.

"Uncle Pula, you haven't eaten yet. It's been so hard for you in such a cold day. There's still half a roast sheep left here, so hurry up and eat."

Pula was also not polite. He ran wild in the snow all day and night, and was really hungry, so he reached out and grabbed the roast lamb on the table and ate it. But Pula didn't delay for long. He quickly went to the castle to mobilize 150 heavy armored knights, and then flew out of the castle.

Seeing the 150 heavy-armored knights leave the castle, Merlin's brows did not relax. He raised his head and asked the butler, "It's always been safe outside Blackwater City, how come thieves have suddenly appeared recently? And look at Uncle Pula. I am afraid that this band of thieves is not weak, otherwise my father will not let Uncle Pula come back and transfer the heavy armored knight."

The butler looked at Merlin and said hesitantly, "Blackwater City was really safe before, but recently, for some unknown reason, there has been an extra wave of ferocious thieves who attacked several small towns outside Blackwater City. The knight brigade has been dispatched several times, but they have not seen any trace of this group of thieves. But rest assured, young master, the baron has 150 heavy armored knights, plus the knights in the territory, to deal with a mere group of thieves , there is still no problem.”

Merlin nodded lightly. With Old Wilson here, there shouldn't be too much problem in the territory.
