Working Prophet

Li Yu returned to Miss Rabbit's house and knocked on the door.

The first time, nothing happened inside.

So Li Yu knocked twice again, and after a while, the girl's voice came out from the room, sounding muffled, "I am serving the ancient spirit of the Arias family. Fausto or Alfred."

"It's me." Li Yu replied.

The other side of the door fell into silence again.

"Don't you think it's too late to pretend that there is no one here?" Li Yu paused and added, "Don't worry, I'm not here for the necklace."

After a while, Ilea finally opened the door reluctantly, stuck her head out from behind the door, and said with a wary look, "Isn't it really about the necklace?"

"Well, it's really not the case, I can guarantee it."

Miss Rabbit thought carefully about it. Apart from things related to the necklace, was there anything she could do that Fausto and Alfred couldn't do?

The final answer is - no.

So she winked at Li Yu and said, "Goodbye."

She was about to close the door again, but Li Yu's next words stopped her movements.

"I've helped you so many times. This is the first time I ask you for help. Are you going to reject it without even wanting to hear it?"

Even though Ms. Rabbit is bad in all kinds of ways, there is one thing that is quite good about her, and that is that she can clearly distinguish between grudges and grudges.

The first thing he did after winning the election was to find his half-brother, scare the latter into pissing his pants, and avenge him on the spot for threatening to kill her. Starting from the beginning is not so fast.

And her success today is inseparable from Li Yu's selfless support.

As the saying goes, cannibals are soft-spoken and short-handed. When the girl heard this, she immediately felt embarrassed to chase him away. She not only let Li Yu into the house politely, but also asked the maid to bring the wine.

Ilea temporarily put down the electronic pet egg in her hand, and looked at Li Yu who was sitting on the opposite chair, with a look of embarrassment on her face, her fingers interlocked tightly, and separated from time to time.

"Well, I'm really... thank you very much, that's right, but it's not my business alone to form a sect in my territory, I also have to consider the subjects, especially those Silver Moon Goddesses the feelings of believers.”

"I didn't come here for this." Li Yu said, "Actually, I'm a little short of money recently, so I brought some souvenirs from my hometown and wanted to find a place to sell them."

Miss Rabbit heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the words, "Souvenir products, this is simple, there is a shop in the castle, you can sell it to the boss, just report my name, and let him give you a good price."

"I asked before and the boss said the quantity was too much and he couldn't take it."

"How many did you bring?" Ilea was startled when she heard this, "I didn't see you bowing much when you appeared in front of me before."

"I brought about two pounds with me this time."

"Two pounds? That's not much, two pounds what?"

Li Yu didn't answer and directly threw out a small bag.

Miss Rabbit was still a little puzzled. After she saw the things on the table, her expression changed drastically, and she blurted out, "Black gold, this is... black gold?! Oh my god, why do you have so many!!!"

"I have three more bags here, which add up to a little more than two pounds." Li Yu took out the other three bags and piled them on the table.

Miss Rabbit's eyes straightened instantly.

The pupils were dilated, the nostrils were quivering, and hot air was constantly blowing out from inside.

It's like a dragon breaking into a treasure house.

——If you could travel back in time to ancient times, what are some things that are common in modern times but very valuable to bring back to the past?

Similar questions always appear on major forums from time to time, like ghosts that never disappear. Other popular ones include giving Zhuge Liang ten Tyrannosaurus Rex to succeed in the Northern Expedition, and who can have the last laugh in a head-to-head duel between Tyson and a silverback orangutan...

In short, sand sculpture netizens have always spared no effort in having fun, which is admirable.

Going back to the first question, if you could go back to ancient times, what would be the most valuable thing to bring?

Although the scope of the word ancient is too general, and the author of the question did not mention the specific location of crossing, it is obviously not rigorous enough, but there is one answer that appears frequently in the answers below.

That's pepper.

Regardless of any country or era, the pursuit of food is eternal.

When it comes to food, spices cannot be bypassed.

Especially the older the era, the more monotonous the cooking method. If you want to get a good taste, you need to rely on spices to enhance the taste.

When he was at the Marquis's mansion before, Li Yu noticed that there was very little pepper on the salmon.

There is only a symbolic amount, and you can't even taste it unless you eat it carefully.

Of course, this is also related to their identities. Ilea and the others are all nobles at the table, so pepper should be enough, but no matter what, the majestic Marquis Mansion is careful and careful when entertaining guests, which shows the preciousness of pepper.

The name of black gold is well-deserved.

In Li Yu's universe, the reason why pepper was so rare in medieval Europe was because most of the spices were produced in the East, and the transportation distance was tens of thousands of miles, and the trade chain in the middle was complicated.

In the end, when the pepper arrived in mainland Europe, the price was naturally prohibitively high.

After chatting with the store owner in the castle, Li Yu found that the situation in this plane was similar, and it was the Elephant Man who mastered the spices.

They live on the Emerald Sea to the east, which is dotted with thousands of small islands. Elephant people established manors on small islands, planted various spices, and then transported them to various parts of the world through Naga's sea caravans.

The closest route to Bratis is directly across the intervening Sea of ​​Storms.

That ghost place has extreme weather that even the Nagas don't want to face. Storms are commonplace, and there are terrifying waves that are tens of meters high. If you are not careful, the boat will be destroyed and people will die.

And even if you are lucky enough to survive the stormy sea, there will be other troubles waiting for you later.

In short, every cargo ship that successfully arrived at the port with spices had to go through many difficulties and dangers along the way. It was a bit more expensive after docking, and the nobles on the Bratis continent couldn't say anything.

"This might be worth a lot of money!" Ilea picked up a pack of pepper and put it in her hand, and put her face up to look at it carefully, "Oh, it's not small, each one is quite plump, and the color is also very beautiful. , and the most important thing is that it is not affected by moisture at all, incredible, incredible, really incredible!”

Miss Rabbit said it was incredible three times in a row to express her surprise!

She had not drunk yet, but the girl's little face was already flushed, her eyes were misty, as if she was wandering in a beautiful fantasy, and she murmured, "This is absolutely top-quality goods, no noble can refuse it, It can be sold one by one."

But soon she remembered something again, her ears drooped suddenly, the light in her eyes disappeared, and she returned to that listless look.
