Working Prophet

As soon as Levin saw Li Yu's eyes sharpened, he put one hand on the hilt of his sword, and said in a deep voice, "Who is your Excellency? Why did you break into the Marquis' mansion at night!"

Li Yu remained silent.

The captain of the guard's face became more and more gloomy, the palm holding the sword was tense, and the veins on the back of the palm were looming. If he hadn't cared about Ilea's safety, he might have drawn his sword and cut someone down.

And at this critical moment, Miss Rabbit suddenly said, "Captain Levin, this is my advisor...well, Merlin."

"Human consultant?" The murderous intent in Levin's eyes dimmed slightly, replaced by a strange look.

He seemed to want to say something, but he held back in the end, and just reminded, "Miss Ilea, this is the Marquis's mansion, not the Teacup Castle of the Arias family. Even if your people enter, you must notify in advance, let alone now It's getting late."

"I'm sorry, Captain Levin," Ilea quickly bowed and apologized, "I promise there won't be a next time."

The guard captain's expression softened slightly, he glanced at Li Yu again, finally released his hand holding the sword, and his tone became much slower, he turned to Miss Rabbit and said.

"I am deeply sorry for what happened to your father, Miss Ilea. Although Sir Ruth and I don't know each other very well, and I only met your father a few times at the wedding banquet of the eldest daughter of the Marquess and on the winter hunting day, but for his Gao Jie's character has long been heard, and the Marquis has praised our father's loyalty and bravery to us more than once, and losing him is a great loss for all of us."

Hearing Levin's words, Ilea's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes also turned red.

The captain of the guard sighed, "Tomorrow is the election day, I hope you are ready to become Green Field's next successor, and I also hope that your advisor can perform his duties and provide you with wise enough advice.

Ilea nodded at the captain of the guard, "Thank you for your concern, but I have not slacked off during this time, and I have already won the support of the majority of the tribe, and I can swear allegiance to the Marquis after the vote tomorrow morning."

"I hope so."

The guard captain bowed slightly to Ilea and turned to leave.

Quietness returned to the courtyard.

Miss Rabbit and Li Yu stared at each other. After a moment, Li Yu said, "Tell me about your election tomorrow."

"Hey, hey, why is your focus here?" Ilea said dissatisfied, "I just saved your life, don't you even want to say thank you, it's too rude Well, besides, I still don't know your name!"

"Didn't you call me Mei Lin? I think it's a pretty good name. I'll call it that from now on." Li Yu said.

"..."

"As for thanking you, I'm doing it now." Li Yu continued.

"Really? But why didn't I hear those two words? The hearing of our Arias family is very good. As long as you speak, I can hear you no matter how softly you speak." Ilea said proudly He shook his long, furry ears.

"Words are not enough to express my gratitude, so I choose to replace it with practical actions." Li Yu said.

"What do you want to do?"

Miss Rabbit's suspicion is quite serious, hearing this, instead of feeling happy, she became alert again.

"Don't worry, I'm just doing my job."

"Your job, what's that?"

"Provide my clients with various consulting suggestions." Li Yu answered in strict accordance with the job content on the recruitment brochure.

"Don't be stupid, what I said just now was just to save you, you are not really my advisor," Ilea shook her head like a rattle, "Besides, I don't need someone who knows nothing about the empire." , Even the founding emperor of the dynasty doesn’t know who the foreigner gave me advice, it’s too embarrassing for the Arias family if it spreads, it’s not good for me to govern the territory in the future.”

"I do have to spend some time to understand this new world, but in the workplace or in terms of interpersonal relationships, in fact, no matter which world is in the world, they are basically the same. For example, the guard captain just reminded you in a more tactful way that tomorrow's Elections may change."

"Is there?" Ilea was skeptical, and she recalled Levin's previous words, but she didn't think there was anything wrong.

Li Yu, on the other hand, closed his mouth and said no more.

The best way to deal with a suspicious patient is not to explain it to him in every possible way, analyze it word by word, and state the pros and cons. This will only make him more suspicious that you have ulterior motives.

It's better to just mention it in such an understatement, half-sentence will only arouse his suspicion, and then he will use his brain, follow the clues, and complete the rest by himself.

This can be said to save time and effort, and get twice the result with half the effort.

Sure enough, the girl's face changed several times, not only muttering, but also counting her supporters with her fingers.

She calculated it several times before letting out a sigh of relief, "I almost got deceived by you. You are just being alarmist. Tomorrow the Marquis is just a notary. There are a total of seven people with the right to vote, and they are all members of our family.

"I was raised by my great-grandmother. She has always loved me and will definitely support me unconditionally. Aunt Alisa and my mother are like sisters and will definitely stand by me firmly.

"And she also promised me to help me persuade her brother-in-law Torres, who has always been close to her. Torres is still training with the Second Knights of the Royal Capital at the moment and cannot leave to come back, but he will write letters and exercise his right to vote.

"This way I have three votes in hand, and Uncle Lucio has always disliked my stepmother Vanessa, so he will definitely not vote for my brother. In addition, yesterday afternoon I persuaded Uncle Antonio to also support Me, I got five votes out of seven, so it’s already foolproof, okay?”

"It sounds like you have a good chance of winning." Li Yu admitted, "But the captain of the guard named Levin will not be blind. As the captain of the guard, he is responsible for guarding the Marquis Mansion, so he must be well-informed. These days, Maybe I heard something.

"Although you are well prepared, your opponent will definitely not sit still and wait for death. He may be running around when you act. How can you be sure that the people you won over before will not be won over by him again?"

"Because those people have sworn to me in the name of the gods and ancestors." Miss Rabbit said without thinking, with an expression that said, please, I still need someone to teach me about this kind of thing.

Seeing Li Yu's surprised look, she sighed again and looked at someone with a caring look like a fool.

"I don't know what your hometown is like. Anyway, in the continent of Bratis, the oaths made in the names of gods and ancestors for thousands of years have been sacred and unshakable. Those who violate the oath will lose all honor. , being spurned and despised by the world. Especially for nobles, it is a more terrifying thing than death."

Li Yu said oh, noncommittally, "Since you are already sure of victory, why are you still up so late and sitting alone on the stone bench in the courtyard in a daze?"

"…………"

Miss Rabbit was speechless.

She can't say that this is what happens to us seriously ill patients.

"There should be some time before dawn now. Instead of sitting here, why not go find the voters and confirm their choices one last time, just in case anything goes wrong tomorrow, and you can feel more at ease." Li Yu suggested .
