Working Prophet

"My sense of humor is far from comparable to yours," Ferdinand said.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because you actually plan to go to the martial arts tournament in person." The head of the Bathory family looked up and down at the female lord, shaking his head, "This is too nonsense."

"Who did you listen to?" Ilea frowned upon hearing this. His Majesty the Emperor wanted her to compete in a martial arts competition. Only a few people even in Green Field knew about this.

And those were all people whom the female lord trusted, and she did not tell anyone else the news.

“I only heard about it after coming to Lake City. Besides, the news spread quickly, not just in Lake City.

"I sent someone to ask people from other places, and they also said that they heard similar rumors in the past two days, and it is likely that someone behind the scenes is fanning the flames. By the way, have you offended anyone recently?

"I've offended a lot of people, but I can probably guess who did it. What do those messages say about me, saying that I'm just a woman after all, and I don't have a man in my crotch. Are you timid and afraid of fighting?"

"It's worse than this." Ferdinand said, "They say that you are the hero of the Western Region, and you will definitely fight for the honor of the Western Region and defeat all competitors in the tournament."

"ha……"

"Now that you are in the limelight in the western region, there won't be many people who will buy you if you directly smear you as a coward, so those who spread the news will do the opposite and add fire to you.

"If you can't do it later, not only will you not be able to keep the reputation you have accumulated now, but you will probably become a laughing stock in the future."

"This means that the higher you hold someone up, the more painful the fall will be." Jude interjected.

"That's right." Ferdinand's beard twitched as he spoke.

"Then do you have any suggestions?" the female lord asked.

"My advice is don't fall for it."

"Don't be fooled?"

"Yes, you must not be provoked by the other party at this time, because no matter who is spreading this rumor, he obviously hopes that you can participate in this martial arts competition. If you are so angry that you lose your mind, it is him Want to see.”

"Don't worry, I won't be fooled by such a clumsy trick."

After Miss Rabbit finished speaking, she found that the surrounding atmosphere was a bit strange, and she couldn't help but wondered, "Why, why are you all looking at me, do I seem to be the kind of person who can't control his temper?"

"You said I look like my father, but do you know what people think of you?" Ferdinand said leisurely.

"Everyone says that Miss Ilea of ​​the Arias family and her father are carved out of the same mold. They both have clear love and hate, love and hate happily, and are fearless."

"Don't always look at me with old eyes. I'm not a little girl anymore. I have matured a lot after being a lord for a year." Ilea said, "Let's go to the city, rest for a night, and continue on our way tomorrow."

"Didn't Prophet Merlin come with you this time?" Ferdinand asked as he walked into the city.

"He'll show up when I'm in trouble, just like in the past, but right now we're on our way, and he'll take this opportunity to deal with some things on the side of the Kingdom of God."

Ferdinand was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "The connection between you... seems to be very close."

"Close? No, I wouldn't use this word to describe my relationship with Merlin. We are at a higher level than this. Wherever I go, he will definitely go. We will never be separated.

"Uh...well, technically speaking, we will be apart for a while, but usually it's not too long, and next time Merlin will definitely appear by my side.

"He was the person I trusted most after my father passed away, my advisor, my friend, my mentor, my health practitioner..."

"Say hello to him for me." The head of the Bathory family said.

"You can tell him yourself, and you will definitely see him when we go on the road."

Since she was just passing through Lake City and resting in the city for half a day, Miss Rabbit didn't want to socialize with the Marier family or attend any dinner parties, so she had people put away the family's rabbit flag early.

However, they did not expect that this move would cause new trouble. The guards guarding the city stopped them and did not allow them to enter the city.

In the end, it was Ferdinand who came forward as a guarantee and allowed the female lord to enter the city smoothly.

"It's strange. I heard people say that Lake City is quite open. Even if you are wearing armor and carrying weapons, as long as there are not too many people, you will not be blocked from entering the city."

"That was before. Now all the lords in the entire Western Territory are on guard against the attack of Herodotus and his Blood Moon Society. The inspection when entering the city is much stricter than before." Ferdinand explained.

Then he looked at Jude again.

"Is there anything else?" Jude's voice sounded from behind the mask.

In order not to scare the ordinary people in the city and cause trouble, he had already put on the iron mask before entering the city to cover the scars on his face.

"You'd better wrap up the things on your wrists, or take them off for a while." The head of the Bathory family suggested.

He was talking about the silicone bracelets on the hands of Jude and others.

Because it was cheap and easy to identify, Li Yu gave one to every believer who completed the initiation ceremony, which was also their identity mark.

Almost all the residents of the major towns in the Western Territory except for the Green Wilderness are Pisiya's followers, and the relationship between the Silver Moon Church and the Shuangxiu Church is very tense.

Even leaving aside Herodotus and the Blood Moon Society he led, ordinary goddess believers also have a vague hostility towards the people of Saturday.

The deputy commander of the Black Dog Guards did not hesitate for long before taking off the bracelet and putting it away.

With him taking the lead, the guards in the black dog position also followed suit and took off their bracelets one after another. As for the soldiers, they brought radio stations with them and were originally meant to lurk in the town.

Li Yu's order to them was to keep a low profile and not reveal their identities, so they didn't wear bracelets at all when they left the green field.

A strange look appeared on Ferdinand's face when he saw this. Although he reminded Jude, he didn't have much hope.

Because he knows that just like knights often shout that honor is my life, for devout believers, faith is also higher than life.

On the contrary, it was the actions of the Black Dog Guards at this time that surprised him a little.

The explanation given by Jude is very simple, "Only by living can we serve our Lord."

Ilea was the last person to take off the bracelet. She carefully put the red bracelet away and followed Ferdinand to the hotel.

As a result, at the entrance of the hotel, everyone in Luye saw several prison cars passing in front of them. There were not only young and strong men in those prison cars, but also women, children and the elderly.

There were over a hundred people.

They all looked in dire condition, having apparently been tortured for a long time, and many were missing arms and legs, and looked dying.
