Working Prophet

Seeing the sun setting and the sky getting dark, Ilea felt tired and hungry, and her legs felt like lead.

She found a stone, ignored the moss and soil on it, and sat down on it. Then she said to Li Yu, "It's almost done. We have gone a long way. Let's stop here today."

Li Yu is actually quite tired. As a white-collar worker in the city, he doesn't exercise much. In addition, he has been working overtime in several companies he worked for before. He can still hold on because of his youth, but his body is worse than that of a recent graduate. It was already far behind now, let alone when I first entered school.

After walking all afternoon, it was still a wild road, and he felt obviously tired. He originally planned to rest after walking a few miles, but since Miss Rabbit had already taken root here, Li Yu stopped.

He collected some relatively dry twigs nearby and piled them on the ground. Then he dug out from his luggage a piece of metal with a hollow interior and a small stone with a sharp edge.

He also bought these two things in the market, and of course Ilea paid for them. The former was called a fire sickle, and the latter was a flint.

Crash these two things together and you'll create fire, at least that's what those history books say.

However, Li Yu tried to hit it a few times. Although there were sporadic sparks shooting out, they fell on those branches and were quickly extinguished.

Li Yu struggled like this for five minutes. His wrists were sore and the fire didn't start.

When he raised his head again, he found Ilea looking at him with a strange expression.

"Is something wrong?"

"You said you were a foreigner and you trekked all the way to the continent of Bratis, and then you didn't know that you need tinder to make a fire?"

"I never said that I trekked all the way to the continent of Bratis." Hearing this, Li Yu dropped the fire sickle and flint in his hand, and found a relatively clean stone to sit on. "Besides, I was in the market before Why didn't the boss remind me?"

"Uh... Ever since you showed off your skills at the Marquis' Mansion at noon, single-handedly rewriting the election results and making me the head of the Arias family, you have been strategizing throughout the entire process, acting as if you know everything and are omnipotent. Same, how did I know that you didn't even understand such a simple thing? I thought you were wearing tinder, so I didn't buy it." Miss Rabbit was very innocent.

"My hometown has not used this method of making fire for a long time," Li Yu said. "It is normal for my memory to have omissions."

"Where is your hometown? Why have you been unwilling to tell me," the girl asked curiously, "I don't even know your real name. Merlin was just a random thing I said, and in the end I called you that. Weird Strange."

Li Yu pointed to Ilea's chest, "You haven't told me where your necklace came from."

"Is this one?" The girl took off the necklace from her neck and held it in her hands, her expression dimming, "This is a gift from my father on my sixteenth birthday.

He said that he picked it up when he was playing by the river when he was a child. Oh, by the way, he and his mother also met there. He also said that there is an ancient spirit of the Arias family living in it. "

"Um?"

"You are not from the Empire, so you have not heard of the ancient legends spread among the major families. It is said that our ancestors did not really die, but turned into ancient souls and have been protecting us when necessary. They will also appear in the form of the animals on the family coat of arms to help us through the crisis."

"This is why every family has similar rules. Unless it is life-threatening and absolutely necessary, future generations are not allowed to kill or eat the animals on the heraldry for any reason. Usually, this rule will be extended to the entire area. territory."

"That means your Arias family never eats rabbit meat, and then you can't kill lions in the entire empire?"

"Unless it's a danger to your life, that's it." Miss Rabbit nodded, and then sighed, "Unfortunately, the ancient spirit in the necklace completely fell into a deep sleep not long after, and no one except my father woke it up. .”

"Can you show me?" Li Yu said.

This time, Ilea did not refuse, and handed this precious necklace to Li Yu's hand. At the same time, she said, "I have asked several craftsmen for advice, and they all said that they have never seen anything like this on the continent of Bratis." The material, especially the three little dots in the middle, feels very strange to the touch.

"I think they may be the key to awakening the ancient spirit living inside. If I can unlock the mystery, I might be able to lead the Arias family to create a great cause..."

The girl was full of longing for the future, but Li Yu interrupted her dream.

"out of battery."

"What did you say?"

"I said the electronic pet egg you are wearing around your neck is probably out of battery. That's why it can't be turned on. Also, did your father pick up anything else by the river beach?"

Li Yu returned the pet egg to Ilea.

"No, only this... Do you know what this is? Have you ever seen it? In your hometown?" Miss Rabbit looked excited, excited that she was about to find the answer to the problem she had been searching for for many years.

"Well, there used to be quite a lot of things in our place, but it's a pity that it's the tears of the times now." After Li Yu finished speaking, he found that the girl looked at him very complicatedly.

But before Miss Rabbit said anything, her stomach made a growling sound.

Li Yu dug out some dried meat and bread from his bag. Since he couldn't light a fire, the two of them could only eat some while they were cold, barely filling their stomachs, and drank a few mouthfuls of stream water.

At this time, the sky was completely dark.

Fortunately, the moon was still bright. Miss Rabbit used the moonlight above her head to find a relatively flat place in the forest, and then kept the flatter part for herself, and gave the slightly less flat part to Li Yu. .

After that, she secretly glanced at Li Yu, worried that someone would see through her little thoughts.

It turned out that Li Yu was uncharacteristically absent-minded, looking at the small round thing on his right wrist from time to time.

Ilea also took a few peeks on the way. It was a metal plate with scales, and there were three small needles of different lengths on it. They would move on the metal plate at different speeds. It was very interesting. It's amazing, but I don't know what it's useful for.

However, seeing that Li Yu didn't notice that her sleeping place was better than his, this still made Miss Rabbit a little happy. Although this damn place was open-air, there were no beds, no quilts, and there were a lot of mosquitoes. As a noble, Ilea I have never spent a night in such terrible conditions before.

But happiness comes from comparison. In any case, the place where she can lie down later is slightly flatter than Li Yu's place.

Just as the girl was comforting herself, she saw Li Yu, who was still standing next to her, suddenly disappear out of thin air without any warning.

Just like last night when the latter came.
