Working Prophet.

Chapter 32 Good News and Bad News

"I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Jude skilfully slid down from a phoenix tree, shook the sawdust and leaves on the cloak, and said.

"Uh... good news?"

"The good news is that your guardian knight has helped you take your castle."

"Really?" Ilea was overjoyed when she heard the words, and was about to set off home, but was stopped by Jude again, "Aren't you going to hear the bad news anymore?"

"What's the bad news?"

"His castle and your castle are surrounded by people." Banlian said, "There are about two or three hundred heavily armed soldiers outside the city, most of them are infantry, there are also a small number of archers, and there are about seventeen or eight soldiers. A famous rider, but no siege equipment has been found yet."

Miss Rabbit's whole body was like being poured with a basin of ice water, it was cold from head to toe.

"Enemy, where did it come from? Have you seen the pattern on their flag, which family is it from?"

"I see clearly, it is the rabbit flag of the Arias family." Jude said.

"My stepmother," Ilea said in disbelief, "is she crazy? She actually dispatched troops privately to besiege the family's castle."

"I don't know if she's crazy or not, but I know that just the two of us, a dog who wants to fight against the three hundred or so people outside the city, must be crazy."

Banlian retreated after investigating the enemy's situation, "I have already sent you home, please pay me the reward, the rest of the matter has nothing to do with me."

"Why is it okay? Our previous agreement was that you would send me into the castle. Now I haven't even seen the gate of the castle."

Miss Rabbit reminded, "Our oath is protected by Saturday, and I told you earlier that I have no money on me, and all my money is in the castle. You don't want to make a trip for nothing, do you?"

"I can also hand you over to your stepmother. I believe she will be willing to pay off the debt owed to me by your daughter." Jude whispered.

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing," Jude changed the subject, "When will Merlin come back? He has been away for two days and it will be dark soon. He may not be able to find us in the woods by then."

"Don't worry, he has Saturday's guidance, no matter where we hide, he can easily find us."

"Aren't you a believer in Goddess Silver Moon? Why do you have more confidence in Saturday than in your own god?"

Ilea was also taken aback when she heard Jude's words. After a while, she found a reason for herself, "I don't have confidence in Saturday, but I have confidence in the ancient spirit of the Arias family. Merlin said that it is an ancient spirit. The spirit guided him to me."

"I also often tell women that it was love that brought us together, but it's really their breasts that stand out." Jude shrugged.

"Didn't you say you already believed in Saturdays?"

"I did say this. Before that night, I didn't believe in those gods and ghosts at all. I don't know how you noble young masters and ladies who live in castles and are surrounded by servants think about this world.

"It's shit in the eyes of a vagabond like me. Good guys, bad guys, believers, unbelievers. I've seen them all. I've hacked them all. They're no different. When my ax falls, Whether you believe in Julius, Pythias, or Diogenes, trust me, none of them will save you.

"If the gods really exist, how can a villain like me be allowed to run amok everywhere. Every priest in the temple claims that their gods are extremely powerful, but there are few people in this world who have been lucky enough to witness miracles.

"That's why all this time I've only believed in the little golden things that jingle in your wallet, at least they're pure and don't lie.

"Of course, Merlin is different from his Saturday. You have seen his abilities with your own eyes, and heard how that distant and unknown existence responded to him. That guy has real things."

Banyan changed the topic, "But because of this, you should be careful and beware of him."

"why?"

"There is always a reason for a person to approach another person. I approach you for money, and Merlin naturally has his purpose for approaching you." Jude asked the black beauty to guard the surroundings, and he found a place under the tree to sit and rest.

For fear of being discovered by soldiers outside, the two did not light a fire tonight.

As the sun sank into the valley, Jude's face gradually disappeared in the darkness, but his voice remained.

"A foreign god who has never set foot on the continent of Bratis before has a relationship with the ancestor of your Arias family, um... don't you think it's strange that the two are linked together?"

"You mean that Saturday has nothing to do with the ancestor spirit of the Arias family. Merlin just wants me to believe him by saying that?" Ilea's heart skipped a beat.

"I didn't say that," Banlian took off his new boots and cleaned the stones and gravel inside, "I just said that if I were you, I would try to brighten my eyes as much as possible, after all, this is a crazy thing." And a dangerous world."

Miss Rabbit recalled the previous conversations between herself and Li Yu, and her expression became complicated.

"I always thought you were just a reckless, reckless, aggressive, and unrecognizable relative except for money, but I didn't expect you to be much smarter than you appear on the surface.

"You're right. I told him about the spirit of the ancestors first. At that time, Merlin seemed to be ignorant of it... But the second time we met, he changed his words and said it was from the Arias family. The spirit of the ancestors guided him to meet me."

Jude chuckled, "I can't live today with only an axe."

Ilea sighed, and looked at the necklace on her chest again, but there was still no movement there.

The girl thought to herself, the family is now in a crisis, and seeing the traitor is about to usurp the throne, why is the ancestor still not in a hurry.

I also don't want to help my real successor.

It made Miss Rabbit feel a little discouraged now, and even had a terrible thought in her heart. Could it be that the ancestors of the Arias family also favored Blanco more than her.

Jude took some food from the luggage on the horse, shared it with Ilea and the black beauty, and said nothing more after that, while the girl was worried about the besieged castle while thinking about what Jude said before. He also lost interest in speaking again, and just sat on a wooden stake like this.

She didn't know how long it had passed, but a familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ear, "Are we there yet?"
