Working Prophet

The mysterious spy who had troubled Ilea for a long time and made Miss Rabbit suffer from sleepless nights was finally caught.

But what followed was more questions.

Who paid huge sums of money to hire Jude to disrupt the Arias family, and what was his purpose? What does it have to do with that dragon in the swamp, well, if that's really a dragon.

However, Li Yu has fulfilled the promise he made before. Next, his main focus will be on missionary work and territorial construction, leaving these things to the girl to find the answers on her own.

But Li Yu still provided some suggestions to Ilea. Regarding the first few issues, in addition to sending people to investigate the middleman nicknamed Gray Swan, Li Yu also suggested that Ilea seek the advice of her great-grandmother.

The old man obviously knew some secrets that others didn't know, otherwise he would not have ignored everyone's objections and persuaded Ilea to take in the lizard people regardless of past suspicions. However, for some unknown reasons, she was unwilling to share her worries. make clear.

As an outsider, it is difficult for Li Yu to completely gain Ona's trust. However, as the current head of the Arias family and a descendant of Ona, Ilea still has the opportunity to have a frank talk with her great-grandmother.

The other thing is about the dragon.

Li Yu hoped that Ilea could finalize the candidates for the dragon-hunting team as soon as possible, because according to the lizard people, the dragon grew very fast, and if he left it alone, he didn't know how big it would be in the end.

Miss Rabbit nodded, her expression a little downcast.

Obviously Jude's rebellion had a great impact on her. Although the two had not known each other for too long, they had experienced many things together.

Moreover, during this period of time, Jude acted as a showman around her at her request. The two of them often bickered, but they also developed a friendship.

At least that's what Ilea thinks. Although she doesn't say it, she trusts Jude very much, even more than many old people in the castle.

As a result, Jude used this trust to stir up troubles in the Arias family behind her back.

This brought back some bad memories for Ilea.

The girl remembered her uncle Antonio who broke his oath in public during the election and was captured by Li Yu, and the Purple Sparrow Knight who ran away quickly after encountering the lizard man army and abandoned her as the lord without saying a word.

Due to the latter's diligent performance during this period, Ilea even entertained the idea of ​​letting him take over the role of Knight Javier, who returned to his hometown, and be responsible for the security of Teacup Castle.

Now that I think about it, I just find it ridiculous.

After coming out of the wine cellar, Ilea suddenly stopped, turned to look at Li Yu and asked, "Will you leave me too?"

"Um?"

"If, I mean, if someone comes to you one day and offers you a price you can't refuse, will you leave me like others?"

After finishing speaking, Miss Rabbit added without waiting for Li Yu's answer, "Forget it, forget it, this is just a stupid question, I'm being stupid again, no one would admit that they would betray before betraying.

"Besides, one person's betrayal may be his problem, but so many people betraying me one after another must be my responsibility as a lord."

"It's not your fault," Li Yu said. "Those who laugh at and criticize you, if you put them in your position, they may not be able to do as well as you."

Li Yu's words were not just to comfort Ilea, he was just stating a fact.

Of course, Ilea was not an eternal wise king, and she had no talent or military skills, but she was originally a small lord on the local border.

Moreover, she was not trained as an heir in the family before, but even so, Li Yu felt that her performance in the first one or two months after becoming the lord was above the average level.

Li Yu was not very familiar with the nobles on the continent of Bratis, but if he looked back at the human civilization in another universe, except for the founders who were born with different appearances and possessed extraordinary figures, most of the remaining kings were It can only be regarded as mediocre.

And the mediocre ones are considered good, and there are also those who indulge in carpentry even if the emperor does not do it, those who can ask why not to eat minced meat in the face of famine, those who refine elixirs and cultivate immortality and finally send themselves away, full of ambitions, working hard to cure themselves but ruining themselves It was treated on the crooked neck tree in Meishan.

Looking at Europe, the situation was no less generous. Edward II, who favored men and ruled the country and forced his wives to rebel, and Commodus, who was fond of gladiatorial fights and was eventually strangled to death by a gladiator in the bathhouse, made the same violent remarks as Emperor Hui of Jin Dynasty—— The people have no bread to eat why don’t Queen Mary eat cake…

There are too many similar kings and nobles, not to mention the little lords who are running amok everywhere.

Compared with them, Ilea can definitely be regarded as a top student. At least Miss Rabbit has no problem with her attitude. Even though she sometimes seems a little naive and emotional, she really wants to be a good lord.

The reason why she got to where she is now has little to do with herself, it's mainly because she caught up with a hellish start.

An elder once said that personal efforts are important, but the process of history must also be taken into consideration.

When the wind blows, even a pig can fly, but when you are at the bottom, no matter what you do, it is wrong, but the way to die is different.

After a pause, Li Yu continued, "Indeed, everyone in this world has a price. As long as someone bids more than the number in their mind, they will be bribed. But you don't have to worry about me. No one can pay my asking price." rise."

"Well, what's your asking price?" Miss Rabbit asked curiously, "Five thousand, or ten thousand gold coins? It can't be one hundred thousand... No one would spend so much money to bribe someone."

"I want everyone on this continent to believe in Saturday." Li Yu replied.

"..."

"I didn't know that you still had such a grand goal, but this kind of thing sounds too whimsical. The Church as powerful as Silver Moon is only limited to the western region, and it took them thousands of years to achieve this step.

"You and your Saturday are great, but..." Miss Rabbit worried about hurting someone's self-esteem, so she didn't continue.

But Li Yu said, "I will do it, and I will prove it to those who don't believe it, so don't be discouraged, no matter what others say, don't give up your goal.

"If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just think about me. Since fools are doing things that are so whimsical and impossible, then you have no reason to shrink back."

"Well, listening to you say that, I really feel a lot better." The girl shook her ears, and finally added, "You are not a fool, you are the smartest person I have ever met, and you don't think I am stupid , and is always there to encourage me.”

Miss Rabbit blushed as she spoke, lowered her head, and kicked the pebbles on the ground with her feet.

"Well, I have to keep a proper distance from you in the future, and I can no longer rely on you for everything, otherwise, if this continues, I feel that I will become a believer on Saturday soon, and the goddess will be angry if that happens .”

"I will look forward to that day." Li Yu said.

"Expectation, what are you expecting? Oh, you said to become a believer on Saturday, no, no, no, no, this is not acceptable." The girl shook her head like a rattle, "I have studied in the temple, my belief is very pious, Like a rock, it cannot be shaken.”
