Working Prophet

"How are you going to prove it?" Herodotus finally became interested and put down the wine bowl in his hand.

"Well, with your current proficiency, it might be a bit difficult to communicate directly with the goddess. But at this stage, you can start with simple questions, such as questions with only yes or no answers, and then ask Picia to send you a sign. .”

"Signs?" Herodotus touched his chin, "Well, it is true that a considerable number of oracles are conveyed through signs, but they are not ordinary signs, but very rare signs. Only in this way can they be recognized as gods. Oral.

"For example, a white dog gives birth to nine puppies, eight of which are white like their mother, and only the ninth is black."

"Another example is a fisherman who once had a big dream. In the dream, Pissia led him to the river. So after waking up from the dream, he went to the place where the goddess guided him, and he caught a fish with three eyes there. The strange fish."

Herodotus looked at Clara, "Is this the sign you mentioned?"

"Of course." The little maid said firmly, "But I need to make some preparations first."

"What preparation?"

"I need a jar with the same size as the head, body and tail. The thinner the better, the inner wall is as smooth as possible. Only in this way can the land and the Kingdom of God be connected."

"A long and slender jar?" Herodotus thought for a while, "There should be no jar with such a strange shape in the world, but it doesn't matter. I can have one burned for you overnight."

"That would be perfect." Clara paused and then added, "Merlin said that when he was practicing communicating on Saturdays, he would carve the divine pattern of Shuangxiujiao on the clay pots.

"High Priest Herodotus, you can do the same thing and engrave the divine pattern of your Silver Moon Church on the outside of the jar. This will ensure that it is Picia who responds to you."

"More than that, I will also perform an exorcism ceremony on the clay pot before this to ensure that this pot will not be tampered with by your supernatural gods." Herodotus said lightly.

"Uh..." Clara hesitated.

"This matter is non-negotiable." Herodotus said decisively, "The person I want to contact is Pisiya, not Saturday."

"Okay." The little maid finally gave in.

"I will have the clay pot delivered before sunset tomorrow, but the ugly words are ahead. If I don't see signs that satisfy me enough, or I find out that you are lying to me..." the look on Herodotus's face Showing a stern smile.

"I understand." Clara straightened her back and clenched her fists.

Herodotus said nothing more, stood up and left the room. After a while, there was another knock on the door.

The little maid opened the door and found Ruby standing outside.

The latter was looking at her with worry.

Clara let Ruby into the house, and as soon as she closed the door, Ruby couldn't wait to ask, "Are you okay? Are you injured in any way?"

"I'm fine." Clara didn't want to worry her friend, so she tried her best to put a smile on her face.

Ruby also breathed a sigh of relief after scanning the little maid up and down, and then asked, "Why did Lord Herodotus come to you?"

"He wanted me to do him a favor."

"What's the deal?"

"Help him contact Pisiya."

Ruby was shocked, covered her mouth and said, "Can you still do such a thing?"

"It can't be done." The little maid shook her head, "But I have to make him believe that I can do it, so that I can continue to live."

"How to do it?"

"Merlin once did an experiment, which seemed to be about work and heating. It was quite magical. I was watching it at the time, and he even explained the principles to me. If I could replicate that experiment, Hero Maybe Dodd will believe me."

"Experiment? What is an experiment?" Ruby blinked.

"Merlin said that experiments are simulation studies conducted to explore or verify the truth, which can help us better understand the world."

Even after hearing the explanation from the little maid, Ruby still looked confused.

So Clara could only change it to another way that was easier for Ruby to understand, "I have to imitate Merlin and perform a miracle in public tomorrow."

"Do you have such great power?" Ruby held Clara's hand.

"I have just started to learn about magical power, but I have no choice but to fight." The little maid said firmly, "We have agreed to go back to the green field together. Then I can bring Merlin and that magical little frog together. I’ll introduce them all to you.”

"But I'm just a maid."

"I am also a maid. We are a maid alliance. Don't worry, the Shuangtuoji does not discriminate against maids."

…………

After Ruby left Clara's house, she came to Herodotus' residence.

As soon as I got close to the room, I heard heavy breathing coming from inside, and then the sound of something hitting the skin.

Ruby felt a bad feeling in her heart and wanted to retreat, but Herodotus's voice had already come from inside the house.

"Come in."

Ruby did not dare to disobey his order, so she could only obediently push open the ajar door. First she was choked by a cloud of white smoke and coughed, and then her head became a little dizzy.

When she came to her senses a little, she saw the shirtless high priest in the room, holding a wattle stick.

And the person he whipped was none other than himself.

Ruby noticed that Herodotus' back was covered in bruises and redness. After just one glance, she quickly lowered her head.

Herodotus threw the thorns aside, put on his shirt, and said, "You asked her, what did she say?"

"With all due respect, she doesn't look very sure."

Herodotus was not very surprised by this, but just sighed.

"After all, she's just a maid. There's nothing I can do about it. Merlin can't catch her at all. The key is whether she's lying to me in order to survive, or whether she's really helping me solve my troubles."

"From what I found out, it should be the first type." Ruby said.

"Oh?" Herodotus raised his eyebrows.

"She said she only saw Merlin use this method once, but she used it again without any contact with Saturday. In addition, she didn't think this method would work on Pissia."

Ruby raised her head and said seriously, "My lord, I think she is deceiving you and disrespecting you, should we punish her?"

"Don't worry, wait until tomorrow, tomorrow you will know how much she weighs. If she fails to do what she promised, there is still time to punish her."

Herodotus paused and then said to Ruby, "You have done a good job during this period. You are very good at lying. I also hope that you can give full play to this skill.

"But one thing must be remembered, that is to be honest with me at all times, can you do it?"

"I will, my lord," Ruby said, falling to her knees at Herodotus' feet and kissing his boots.
