Working Prophet

Li Yu and Ge Lipeng left the city through the Stone Gate. Compared to the lively scene outside the Arc de Triomphe, the place seemed much deserted.

Although some tents can still be seen on the roadside, there are no people inside at the moment. They are probably all watching the competition.

However, to be cautious, Li Yu and Ge Lipeng walked a little further until they came to a small forest.

Li Yu sent out black dog guards to search the woods and found an uninhabited place. Jude led people to guard the surrounding areas.

While waiting for Ilea, Li Yu also chatted with Ge Lipeng for a while.

"How about it, are you still used to the life here?"

"It's okay, I don't really have any requirements for food and lodging." Ge Lipeng said, "It took me a while to get used to the tools. There are no machine tools, electric welding torches, electric furnaces, or grinders here...

"But as long as you pay a little more attention, you can still find most of the replacement tools. Before the industrial revolution, guns were originally made by gunsmiths.

“After we signed the contract, I did some homework on this in advance, so everything went smoothly.

"The most important thing is that I can finally make a living by handicrafts, and now there are no manufacturing restrictions. I am quite satisfied with this job."

"That's good," Li Yu nodded, "But you are now a believer in the Shuangxiu religion, and you should remember to rest on time after work. Later, I will ask Jude to take you around the city.

"Lionheart Castle is the largest town on the continent of Bratis. It is very prosperous. It gathers all kinds of goods on the continent, and there are also many delicacies. We will leave here after the tournament is over. I don't know if we will come again next time. When is it?"

Hearing this, Ge Lipeng thought for a while and said, "Okay, then I'll go to the blacksmith shop and carpenter shop to see how they work, sometimes some ancient methods are quite useful.

"Never underestimate the wisdom of those ancient craftsmen. After all, we were only born a few hundred years later than them. If possible, I will go to the market in the city to see if there are any special materials and tool."

Li Yu and Ge Lipeng chatted for a while, and Ge Lipeng also advised Li Yu to order less takeaway food, because even if the ingredients are fine, chefs who want to pursue the taste often choose heavy oil and salt, and eating too much is not good for the body.

Li Yu asked Ge Lipeng where all his messy manual knowledge came from.

Ge Lipeng said frankly that he learned most of it by himself on YouTube, and he also consulted some masters, but he mainly groped by himself, and he gradually became proficient after more groping.

Don’t be afraid of failure in the early stage. The process of overcoming difficulties itself will also bring a strong sense of accomplishment.

While the two were talking, they saw a figure walking from the other side of the woods.

It was Ilea who was invited by the emperor to watch the tournament.

I haven't seen her for a while, and the girl looks like a different person. The pair of long ears on her head are listlessly drooping on her cheeks, her eyes are bright red, as if she has just cried.

She was completely distraught and her hair was shaking when she walked, like a walking corpse.

"What, what happened again?" Li Yu asked.

The female lord seemed to have never heard of it.

It wasn't until Li Yu repeated the question that she seemed to hear it clearly and murmured, "The bear of the earth... challenged me to a duel."

"Why?"

"Because he said that I killed his nephew and he wanted to avenge his nephew. Do you remember the mercenary nicknamed Honey Bear?"

"Well, he was hired by your stepmother and died under Jude's axe."

"The Earth Bear blamed this on me."

Li Yu frowned, "Did you agree to his request for a duel?"

"Of course not, you weren't there, and you didn't see how crazy that guy was in the arena, my God! He twisted off a person's head with his bare hands, and then retreated completely under the attack of three killers.

"Claudio said that his strength is probably about the same as a real bear! The other contestants were like chickens when they faced him, and they didn't even have the courage to shoot him.

"And His Majesty allows us to resolve our grievances in a competition, which means I am dead!"

Miss Rabbit shook her head like a rattle, "Impossible, it is absolutely impossible for me to defeat such a monster! My nightmare is about to come true, I will be killed by him in front of everyone, without mercy .”

"I will be the first patriarch of the Arias family to die in a martial arts tournament. I won't even be able to leave a complete body. After that, my family and I will become the laughing stock of the entire empire for the nobles in the capital. Talk about it for years.

"In the future, when they go out and see all the headless things, they will point to their companions and laugh, saying, do you think that looks like Ilea, I don't want to be remembered in this way, this is too bad !"

When the female lord said that she felt sad at the end, she started sobbing softly again, and said to Li Yu while crying.

"I have no heirs, so I plan to pass the position of head of the family to my aunt Alisa. Merlin, can you help me take care of her, just like you take care of me?"

After she finished speaking, she raised her head and saw that Li Yu and Ge Lipeng still looked calm.

Fortunately for Ge Lipeng, he couldn't understand the common language of Bratis Continent, and he probably didn't know what happened at this moment, but Li Yu's reaction made Miss Rabbit feel a little disappointed for no reason.

In the knight novels she had read, the two of them should have been crying together at this moment, and she could also take the opportunity to express her heart to Li Yu and fulfill a wish, so she would probably be more peaceful when she left.

But seeing Li Yu's reaction being so bland, the girl couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that he didn't care about me at all and was it just my wishful thinking from beginning to end?

Her heart ached even more when she thought of this.

It feels like it doesn't matter if the bear of the earth twists his head off. Who makes this world so cold?

Mother. Woohoo, wow, it turns out that only my mother can love me.

"Let's take a look at the power of the new sacred weapon first, and then decide whether to entrust it to you." Li Yu said at this time.

He took a flintlock pistol from Ge Lipeng's hand, which was imitated from a duel pistol from another universe more than two hundred years ago.

As the name suggests, European nobles in the 18th and 19th centuries were very keen to use this pistol to duel and defend their honor, such as the poet Pushkin and the mathematician Galois...

Li Yu opened the lid of the primer tray, bit through the paper shells, filled a small amount of gunpowder inside, then closed the lid, and poured all the remaining gunpowder into the barrel.

Then put the lead bullets together with the wrapped paper shells into the barrel, this is to ensure airtightness, and finally poke it a few more times with the cleaning rod to complete the loading.
