Working Prophet

After leaving the castle, Li Yu first took out the map and checked the direction he wanted to go next.

The map was hand-drawn by himself, because the boss did not allow Li Yu to copy it, so Li Yu took a picture with his mobile phone, and then drew it in his notebook bit by bit after returning to his room.

Apart from the lack of the statue of the Silver Moon Goddess and the lack of coloring, it is basically not much different from the original.

However, according to Fausto, this map has a history of hundreds of years, and it is estimated that some places are not so accurate, but Li Yu has no better choice at hand, so he can only make do with it.

Maybe when he is free, he can use the drone to draw a more accurate map by himself. During the last two visits, Li Yu chose to bring a solar power bank.

This kind of charging treasure is to install a solar panel with monocrystalline silicon on the ordinary charging treasure, and directly use photovoltaic power generation without connecting to the circuit, which is most suitable for Li Yu's current situation.

In this way, he also preliminarily solved the problem of charging the drone and some other electronic devices, so he didn't need to detach the battery and run back and forth with it.

With the power bank, Li Yu naturally thought of a larger battery.

However, the weight of batteries is usually not light. Excluding clothes and shoes, the weight Li Yu can carry at this stage is only about 3kg each time.

Most of the large-capacity batteries on the market exceed this weight. As for smaller ones, they are not much different from power banks.

Of course, there is another way, which is to disassemble the batteries and bring them over in batches, and then assemble them. However, Li Yu's current power consumption is not too large, and there is no such strong demand for batteries for the time being.

In addition, his sect has not yet been pulled up, and he can only rely on Ilea for safety. If he really makes too much noise, it may cause some unnecessary troubles.

So Li Yu pressed this idea.

The first time he chose to explore was the woods not too far away from the castle, where Ilea had passed through when she escaped from Rock Snow City back to the green fields.

However, it was already late at night when Li Yu appeared, and he was not able to see the surrounding environment very clearly at that time, and now he came back when the sun was shining during the day, and finally he was able to see the true face of this place.

The trees in the forest are mainly fir trees. They have gray-brown bark, and the outer bark is often split in long strips, exposing the light red inner bark inside. The trunk is tall and straight, growing all the way upwards, and the leaves are thin , branching to both sides, evergreen all year round.

According to the markings on the map, this is also the forest farm of the Arias family, which also means that nearby civilians cannot cut down trees here at will. Once they are caught illegally, they will face a large amount of fines.

Li Yu casually marked the fir tree on the map. As one of the most common tree species, the cedar tree is indeed very suitable for being cut down and processed into wood for architectural decoration. In addition, the resin in the bark can also be used as an adhesive , fir leaves are distilled to extract essential oils.

Papyrus and parchment are still the main papers used in the continent of Bratis today. Although these two types of paper can be used for writing, they are not considered "paper" in the strict sense and have their own defects.

If he successfully introduces papermaking technology to the Bratis Continent in the future, the cedar tree can also be used as a raw material for pulp.

Besides fir trees, Li Yu also found dandelions in the forest.

With its extraordinary reproductive ability, this kind of little thing can easily spread all over the world, and once it takes root, it is very difficult to eradicate.

Undoubtedly a scourge for gardeners and farmers.

But this Compositae plant itself has quite a lot of uses. According to Clara, when the dandelions germinate, many nearby farmers will dig them up, wash them and take them home as wild vegetables. All parts of dandelions can be eaten. And the seeds can also cure diseases.

People with gastrointestinal discomfort can feel much better by eating some dandelion seeds. Some people who bump into their arms and legs or have boils can heal faster by applying some dandelion seeds on them.

And Li Yu knew that it was not just that. Because of its anti-inflammatory function, dandelion could cure many diseases. In addition, the roots of dandelion could also be soaked in water and drunk. When there is no tea to drink, drinking some dandelion water is also good.

There are still a lot of bracken in the forest, and many villagers come to dig it when there is no food to eat.

Fresh bracken itself is poisonous, but as long as it is blanched, it is not a big problem if you don't eat too much at one time.

The little maid said that the Arias family treated the tenant farmers quite well. Although they were not allowed to cut down trees at will and hunt in the forest, they were at least allowed to dig wild vegetables, catch small animals such as squirrels, and occasionally improve their food.

There are some very strict and money-grubbing lords who charge money for everything they do, such as the use of grassland, woodland, and bread ovens, but the people below have nothing to do. After all, according to the laws of the Red Lion Empire, the land and the people on it All flora and fauna belonged to the lord.

Of course, if it goes too far, the free people in the territory will run out, leaving only the serfs who cannot plant so much land, and the lord will also lose money.

Not only was Li Yu looking for familiar animals and plants himself, but he also gave each of Clara and the four children a Morning Light Notebook and a pencil, asking them to draw all the animals and plants they knew, and those they didn't know first. Come down, especially remember to highlight the special features, Li Yuhao write it down and use Baidu and Google to search.

Compared to boring calculations and reciting multiplication tables, of course hiking and painting classes in the forest are more enjoyable, and the little maid can legitimately fish everywhere.

Even though Li Yu set up a reward of half a silver coin, Clara seemed to be still at a heartless age. As long as she had enough to eat and a place to sleep every day, she didn't care much about how much money she had in her pocket.

Moreover, her parents sold her early and disappeared without a trace. She did not need to make money for the family like the four little ones, so she was not very interested in the rewards offered by Li Yu.

While a group of six people were walking around, investigating and outing, the sound of horse hooves coming from behind destroyed the peace and tranquility in the forest.

The two riders galloped towards this side, calling Merlin's name continuously along the way.

Li Yu stood still, waiting for the two of them to approach. The two riders were obviously relieved after seeing him. One of the handsome young riders said to Li Yu, "I am Jordi, as everyone calls him. I am the Purple Sparrow Knight, and this is my squire Karl."

"What do you two want from me?"

"Well, on the order of Miss Ilea, we are here to protect you and your assistants when they return to the castle."

"What happened over there at the castle?" Li Yu frowned.

Jordi hesitated for a moment before replying, "Maybe... an assassin appeared."
