Working Prophet.

Chapter 17 The Ancient Spirits of House Arias

Seeing the sun set and the sky getting darker, Ilea felt tired and hungry, and her legs seemed to be filled with lead.

She found a stone, ignored the moss and dirt on it, and just sat down on it, and then said to Li Yu, "It's almost there, we've traveled a long way, let's stop here today."

Li Yu is actually quite tired. As an urban white-collar worker, he doesn't usually exercise much. In addition, several companies he worked in before worked overtime, so he can still survive because of his youth, but his body is better than that of just graduated. It's already far behind, let alone when I first entered school.

After walking all afternoon, it was still a wild road, and he obviously felt tired. He originally planned to take a rest after walking a few more miles, but since Miss Rabbit had already taken root here, Li Yu stopped accordingly.

He collected some relatively dry twigs nearby, piled them on the ground, and then dug out from the luggage a piece of metal with a hollow interior and a small stone with sharp edges.

He also bought these two things at the market, and of course Ilea paid for them. The former is called the fire sickle, and the latter is the flint.

Bump those two things together and you'll start a fire, at least that's what the history books say.

However, Li Yu tried to hit it a few times. Although sporadic sparks shot out, they fell on the branches and quickly extinguished.

Li Yu tossed like this for 5 minutes, his wrists were sore, and the fire didn't start.

When he raised his head again, he found that Ilea was looking at him strangely.

"Is something wrong?"

"You said that you are a foreigner and traveled all the way to the continent of Bratis, and then you don't know that you need tinder to ignite a fire?"

"I never said that I trekked all the way to the continent of Bratis." Li Yu dropped the scythe and flint in his hands after hearing this, and sat down on a fairly clean stone, "Also, I was in the market before. Why didn't you remind me?"

"Uh... Ever since you showed your talents at the Marquis's Mansion at noon, you rewrote the election results by yourself and made me the head of the Arias family, you have been strategizing throughout the whole process, acting as if you know everything, and you are omnipotent Same, how would I know that you don't even understand such a simple thing? I thought you were wearing tinder, so I didn't buy it." Miss Rabbit was very innocent.

"It's been a long time since my hometown has used this method of lighting a fire," Li Yu said. "It's normal for my memory to be careless."

"Where is your hometown? Why have you been reluctant to tell me?" the girl asked curiously. "I don't even know what your real name is. Merlin was just a random nonsense, but I just called you all the way. It's strange." Strange."

Li Yu pointed to Ilea's chest, "You haven't told me where your necklace came from."

"This?" The girl took off the necklace from her neck and held it in her hand, her expression darkened, "This is a gift from my father on my 16 years old birthday.

He said that he picked it up when he was playing by the river when he was a child, oh yes, he and his mother also met there, and he also said that an ancient spirit of the Arias family resides in it. "

"Ok?"

"You are not from the empire, so you haven't heard of the ancient legends that have been circulated among the major families. It is said that our ancestors did not really die, but became ancient souls, who have been protecting us and protecting us when necessary. They will also appear as the animals of the family crest to help us through the crisis."

"This is why every family has a similar rule. Unless it is life-threatening as a last resort, future generations are not allowed to kill or eat animals on the coat of arms for any reason. Usually, this rule will actively extend to the entire area. territory."

"That is to say, your Arias family never eats rabbit meat, and then you can't kill lions in the entire empire?"

"Unless your life is in danger, that's the case." Miss Rabbit nodded, then sighed again, "Unfortunately, it didn't take long for the ancient spirit in the necklace to fall into a deep sleep, and no one except my father woke it up .”

"Can you show me?" Li Yu said.

This time Ilea did not refuse any more, handed the precious necklace to Li Yu, and said at the same time, "I have consulted several craftsmen, and they all said that they have never seen similar necklaces on the continent of Bratis. The material, especially the three small dots in the middle, is very tactile.

"I think they may be the key to awakening the ancient spirit lodged inside. If I can unravel the mystery, maybe I can lead the Arias family to create a great cause..."

The girl is full of longing for the future, but Li Yu interrupts her dream.

"out of battery."

"What did you say?"

"I said that the electronic pet egg you wear around your neck should be out of battery. That's why it can't be turned on. Besides, did your father pick up anything else by the river beach?"

Li Yu returned the pet egg to Ilea.

"No, only this... Do you know what this is? Have you ever seen it? In your hometown?" Miss Rabbit looked excited, excited that she was about to find the answer to the problem she had been searching for for many years.

"Well, there used to be quite a lot of these things in our place, but it's a pity that it's the tears of the times now." After Li Yu finished speaking, he found that the girl looked at him very complicatedly.

But before Miss Rabbit said anything, her stomach let out a gurgle.

Li Yu dug out some dried meat and bread from the luggage, and because they couldn't make a fire, the two of them could only eat some indiscriminately in the cold, barely filling their stomachs, and drank a few mouthfuls of stream water.

At this time, the sky was completely dark.

Fortunately, the moon was still bright. With the help of the moonlight above her head, Miss Rabbit found a relatively flat place in the forest, and then kept the flatter part for herself, and gave the slightly less flat place to Li Yu. .

After that, she secretly glanced at Li Yu, worried that someone would see through her little thoughts.

It turned out that Li Yu was uncharacteristically absent-minded, looking at the round thing on his right wrist from time to time.

On the way, Ilea also took a peek at it. It was a metal plate with scales, and there were three small needles of different lengths on it, which would move on the metal plate at different speeds. It's amazing, but I don't know what it's useful for.

But seeing that Li Yu didn't notice that she slept in a better place than him, this still made Miss Rabbit a little happy. Although this place is open-air, there are no beds, no quilts, and there are too many mosquitoes. As a nobleman, Ilea Never before had I spent the night in such dire conditions.

But happiness is all based on comparison, no matter what, the place where she can lie down later is still slightly flatter than Li Yu's place.

The girl was comforting herself in this way, when she saw Li Yu, who was standing beside her, suddenly disappeared out of thin air without any warning.

Just like last night when the latter came.
