Chapter 22

"Madam, do you mind if I ask a question?" Mei Lin was a little confused.

"You're welcome, please." Martha smiled kindly.

"Why do you have to hire outsiders?" Merlin asked. This kind of job is obviously better to hire people from the village.

"Because..." Martha hesitated, with two blushes on her face, "Because I am raising children at home and my husband is serving as a soldier in Edinburgh, so I can easily spread some rumors here. It is very easy to hire people from the village. It's easy to be talked about, and it's better to be a traveler outside the village, which can save a lot of trouble.

Merlin didn't say anything, but she understood Martha, thinking

A young mother is at home by herself.

Sure enough, it's easy to say something bad.

It is excusable for her husband not to be at home to be followed by a group of lazy men.

It's not difficult to understand why you want to hire a new person as an employee...

Next.

Merlin followed Martha upstairs with the room key.

There are all guest rooms here. Martha said that if she gave Merlin a room for free, it would serve as a staff dormitory.

"This is your room, and the work clothes are in the closet." Martha stopped at the door, turned around and handed the key to Merlin.

"Thank you, in fact, you can live in the stables." Merlin took the key and said politely. In fact, he thought to himself that the ghosts must live in the stables!

"You take a rest first, it will be night soon, when there will be only female guests downstairs, you have to cheer!" Martha cheered Merlin like a big sister next door.

"Don't worry, madam." Merlin felt that there was no pressure, and it was not difficult to coax a woman to drink, especially for herself as a succubus.

"Mom!" A little boy plunged into Martha's arms, "I'm back!"

"Uh..." Merlin had a weird expression. This boy looked familiar, wasn't it the little Henry he met at the market?It turns out that he is Martha's son.

"Where did you go to play again? You don't go home for a day, do you know how much your mother is worried about you." Martha knelt down and wiped the dust off Henry's face with a towel.

"I went to the market to play. I heard that the guards found the goblin's body outside the village. The village chief is studying how to deal with it?" Little Henry said gruffly, his eyes flashed with excitement. I saw a goblin again, "Mom, did you say that there are really goblin tribes on the back mountain of the village?"

"Yes, mother saw it when she was a child." Martha said gently.

"Then do they eat people?" Little Henry asked curiously.

"Eat, eat only disobedient children like you." Martha deliberately frightened little Henry, hoping that the child would be more obedient.

"It doesn't matter, I am as good at swords as my father!" Little Henry patted his crude toy wooden sword on his waist.

Martha shook her head, and had nothing to do with Henry's aggressiveness.

"Mom, do you say that the group of goblins on the mountain will come down to rob the village?" Little Henry was very curious in his heart, hoping to have the opportunity to show himself, "If they come down, I will use my sword skills to knock them down, so I can become the hero of the village!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Masha couldn't help but reprimanded, and said seriously, "Goblins are very cruel. My mother saw them looting villages and killing villagers when they were young. If not for the old village chief at the time Grade magician, our village has long since disappeared."

"Is the old village chief very good?" Little Henry frowned, feeling a little unbalanced.

"Well, it's very powerful. The goblin tribe fought by one person has been retreating every day. Finally, the goblins are forced to sign a peace treaty. They are not allowed to step out of the mountain. Think about it more than 20 years ago, even the old village. The long passed away, we can still live here by the peace treaty." Martha rarely tells her son about the past, but today is an exception. I'm really worried that his son's blood will surge and rush to fight with the goblins.

"Okay... so awesome!" I fisted in the little Henry, with little stars in my eyes, "I don't know if the village chief can do magic now, I want to learn it!"

"No way. Although the village chief is the grandson of the old village chief, he has no talent for practicing magic." Martha touched her son's hair and said seriously, "Henry, not everyone in this world can become a magician or Martial artist, even if you are a tavern owner, you can still live wonderfully."

Little Henry frowned, obviously a little angry, with determination in his eyes.

Merlin was listening to the mother-child conversation, her face turned dark, and she thought nervously

I seemed to kill the goblins outside the village.

What peace treaty is true or false?

Oops, I always feel like I have caused a lot of trouble.

Forget it, just continue to pretend to be stupid...
