Working Prophet

"Do you like flowers, Sir Ilea?" asked the man in front of the flower stand.

"Uh, it's okay."

"What's your favorite flower?"

"The most exciting chicken popcorn."

"Well, what kind of flower is that?" The man frowned slightly and continued, "I have been collecting all kinds of flowers over the years, but I have never heard of the name of this flower."

"The Popcorn Chicken was brought by Merlin from the Kingdom of God. It is not available on the Bratis Continent, but it is really delicious." Miss Rabbit praised sincerely.

At the same time, recalling the feeling when I ate the popcorn chicken for the first time, I swallowed again involuntarily.

"Foods on flowers, that Prophet Merlin is an elegant person."

Claudio finally turned around, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes when he saw Ilea for the first time, but it was only for a short moment, and he soon returned to normal, "You know who I am."

"Geoff told me that you are the second prince Claudio, but..." the female lord hesitated to speak.

"Aren't my hair and ears enough to prove my identity?" Claudio was not angry and asked calmly.

"Geoff also has red hair."

"Don't compare me with that kind of person. The blood of the Vespasian family in him is already very thin." The second prince said, "If it weren't for his sister, he would have been punished for what he had done before. Drive out of the royal capital."

"Ha, so you know what he's like."

"If I only find good people to help me with things, there will soon be no one around me." Claudio said, "This is the royal capital, and everyone has his secrets."

Miss Rabbit shrugged, "Well, anyway, I won't stay here for a long time, so I won't explore other people's secrets."

"A wise move." Claudio paused, and then said, "If you still have doubts about my identity, you can wait until tomorrow."

"tomorrow?"

"That's right, when the tournament starts, you will see me in the middle of the stands, right behind His Majesty the Emperor, diagonally behind you."

"Wait, I'm in the stands too?"

"Well, you will sit next to the queen, my father... really appreciates you."

"So I don't need to participate in the martial arts tournament?" the female lord excitedly said.

Claudio's expression was a little strange, "Why, don't you know? As a rule, noble contestants do not compete on the first day. In fact, the first day is mainly a melee. The participants are civilians and slaves. They A group of 20 or 30 people will fight each other, and the top three in each group can enter the next round.

"Otherwise, there will be too many people signing up, and I don't know when the one-on-one call will take place." Claudio explained patiently.

"Ah, is that so?" Miss Rabbit was very happy.

"Sir Ilea, you don't seem to be very interested in the martial arts competition." Claudio observed the situation and saw the abnormality of the female lord.

"I..." Ilea opened her mouth, and finally decided to ask Claudio why he wanted her.

The second prince stopped beating around the bush, "How much do you know about the Earth Bear?"

"I've never heard of this name. What does he do?"

"The Bear of the Earth is a contestant in this tournament. If nothing else happens, you will be able to see him tomorrow."

"Well, is there anything special about him?"

"The Earth Bear was born into the Boleslaw family. He was originally a noble, but later he left the family because of some things."

"Wait a minute, I know that family, Steve, the leader of the sixth branch of the First Knights of the Empire, is from here. We met outside Lionheart Castle not long ago." The female lord said, "They The family crest seems to be a brown bear."

"Well, although the Boleslaw family does not belong to the twelve major nobles, it is not weak in strength. Every generation of the family has people serving in the Royal Knights. It is also one of the most loyal families to the royal family."

"There are many people in the Boleslaw family who are impatient and have bad tempers, but throughout their family history, no one has such a bad temper as the Earth Bear. He is ruthless, murderous, and known for his... He enjoys torturing his opponents without any trace of chivalry.

"I had a friend who died in his hands. The two of them had a duel. The Earth Bear smashed his hands and feet, cut open his stomach with a dagger, pulled out his intestines, and hung him on a tree. After that, I peed in the poor man's stomach and watched him struggle on the ground for a long time, but he was reluctant to take action to end his pain."

"Wow, this is too much..." Ilea felt horrified and felt her stomach churn.

"I think so too." Claudio clenched his fists, his fair skin turning slightly red with anger, "It's a pity that because it was a duel with a notary present, I couldn't pursue the crimes committed by the Earth Bear, at least openly. Can't go up.

"Later on, that guy left the royal capital and disappeared. I sent people to trace his traces, but to no avail. I thought he was dead for a while. However, five years later, he came back and transformed into a living being. Devotees of the goddess, followers of the priests of Cornelia.”

"Can you understand how angry I am? The enemy who killed my best friend is right in front of me, but because of my father's fanatical belief in the goddess of life, I have been unable to take revenge until I heard that the Earth Bear participated in this attack. Tourney.”

"You want to use this tournament to kill the Earth Bear?" The female lord raised her eyebrows.

"That's right, neither my father nor the Cornelia priests have anything to say."

After Claudio finished speaking, he broke off a purple jasmine and handed it to the girl aside, while saying with a serious expression.

"Sir Ilea, are you willing to get rid of this enemy for me? In return, no matter what you ask for, I will try my best to satisfy you."

Miss Rabbit did not take the flower, but just smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid you can't meet my request. I originally pointed you to help me... Forget it, I am also deeply sorry for what happened to your friend, but I can't Help you get revenge."

"Why?" Claudio was puzzled, "You and that Merlin are both Saturday believers. I heard that your relationship with the Life Church is not very harmonious. Even if you don't consider my request, just from your own perspective. , it is also profitable to get rid of the Bear of the Earth, which means Cornelia loses an arm."

"It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I'm in a lot of trouble now, and I really can't help you. By the way, why would you want to come to me for help? This is the first time we've met."

"Because the Earth Bear is very strong, and may even be the strongest among all the contestants. Apart from you, I can't think of anyone else who can kill him."
