Working Prophet

The tall cedar trees stretch straight into the sky. Even in the cold winter, they still look lush and green. The thin and narrow leaves spread out in all directions, trying to absorb every ray of sunlight.

As a child, Ilea didn't really understand why the ancestors who built the castle planted a cedar tree that could be seen everywhere in the Western Region here, and why they didn't find a more beautiful and special tree.

But when she looked up again, she suddenly realized that this fir tree was just like her family, ordinary but tough.

The noble families in the Western Region probably have the same impression of the Arias family.

There are almost no heroes who can be remembered by history among the previous heads of the Arias family. Most of them followed the rules, quietly managed their own three-acre land, and worked hard to do the things they were doing well.

He didn't make any big mistakes, and he didn't leave any achievements.

The girl's father, Ruth, is one of them. Of course, you can say that they are mediocre and have no ambitions, but this is not a kind of survival wisdom that allows the Arias family to continue to this day.

However, now, the appearance of Ilea has broken this tradition.

She first accepted the lizard bandits who had a blood feud with her family for hundreds of years and let them settle in her territory regardless of past suspicions. Then she stepped forward when the Western Territory encountered a major crisis and recommended herself to become the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces. After successfully slaying the dragon He also fought head-on against the Figuerola family and challenged the majesty of the Lord of the West...

Everything seemed "reckless" and un-Ariasian at the beginning, but the final result left people speechless.

Because of this, the opposition to her within the family has almost disappeared.

But even so, when she announced that she would abandon the faith that her family had inherited for nearly a thousand years and became the first lord in the Western Region to convert to Shuangxiu Cult, it still caused many people to worry.

Some people are worried that the Shuangxiu Church will continue to expand after forming an army, threatening the rule of the Arias family in the Green Fields. Others are worried that they will suffer revenge from the Silver Moon Church, or be isolated by other nobles in the West and become completely corrupt. of aliens.

Many of the vassals below are also worried about reduced income. After all the peasants in the fief have joined the double holiday and have two days off every week, the food production will be reduced, and the workload of corvee will also be reduced... …

But Miss Rabbit still stood here despite these pressures.

Not only because of the special bond between her and Li Yu, but also because she believes this is the best choice for the family and all the people in the territory.

Perhaps the fir tree in front of you not only represents ordinaryness and tenacity, but also represents strong adaptability. It is precisely because of this adaptability that it and its tribe can grow freely in the Western Region without fear of the cold.

While the girl was still lost in thought, Li Yu had already taken off the outdoor dagger from his waist and carved patterns of beaches, palm trees, deck chairs and parasols on the bark of the tree.

While carving, Li Yu noticed that there was actually half a similar pattern on a certain part of the bark.

The reason why I say half a picture is because the painting was slightly out of shape and was later crossed out.

Li Yu thought of something and glanced at Miss Rabbit beside him.

It happened that the girl was also peeking at him at this moment. Their eyes met, and without any words, Li Yu could understand whose handiwork that half of the painting was.

As early as the night before she was about to be besieged by the lizardmen, Ilea had secretly prayed to Saturday, and the carvings on the tree now were left by her at that time.

Today, Li Yu is next to him, carving a new pattern.

But this time, the pattern finally no longer needs to be crossed out.

As "What a Beautiful Jasmine Flower" sounded again, all the people who came to watch the ceremony were infected by this melodious and magnificent tune.

For people outside of Shuangxiu Church, this is the first time they have heard this piece of music. Especially since there are many nobles who came here today, you can immediately hear the extraordinaryness among them.

Whether it is the musical instruments played or the movements in them, they are not all on the continent of Bratis.

And I can't see any performers, as if it really came from the Kingdom of God.

At the end of the song, Li Yu announced the girl's Christian name—Victoria.

Then he put a red bracelet on the female lord's left wrist.

"Victoria." Miss Rabbit repeated the name in a low voice, without thinking too much, just thought it sounded good.

Like other believers, she took an oath at the end of the ceremony.

Said that he would abide by the precepts of the Shuangxiu religion and work hard for the common ideal of building a land-based kingdom of God.

By the time the lord raised her head after speaking the last word, she had changed from a believer in Pithia to a believer in Saturday.

After a pause of probably several seconds, the Shuangxiu believers in the crowd began to cheer. In contrast, the Pisiya believers fell into silence again.

Today is undoubtedly an extremely dark day for them.

They had just witnessed the defeat of the Silver Moon Church, and there were extreme believers who wanted to attack Li Yu, but they were caught and died without even touching the corner of his clothes.

The reaction from the nobles was equally sparse. No matter what they were thinking, they were still believers of the Silver Moon Church at this time, so no one applauded. Only when Ilea returned to the stone castle, some of them talked with her. People who were more acquainted with her congratulated her briefly.

Most of them only had one or two sentences, and the atmosphere at the ensuing luncheon was a bit strange. No one even paid attention to the Lay's potato chips that Miss Rabbit specially asked for from Li Yu. As soon as the banquet was over, all the guests took their leave one after another.

However, this did not affect the female lord's good mood.

When everyone was almost gone, she put her eyes in front of her wrist and looked at her new jewelry happily.

Although it costs less than ninety cents each in 1688, it is a real rare item on the continent of Bratis.

Moreover, the silicone ones are quite comfortable to wear, unlike Miss Rabbit's other jewelry. After looking at it for a while, the girl discovered a new blind spot and asked Li Yu, "Why is my color different from others, it's red?"

"You are the lord." Li Yu said.

"Then if other lords become Saturday believers in the future, will you also send them red tokens?" the girl asked again.

"What, do you mind?"

"Well... I don't mind."

"Don't worry, only you will have this color bracelet." Li Yu said before she finished speaking, "I can guarantee you."

"Really?" Miss Rabbit didn't know what she thought of, and the smile on her face became even brighter.
