Working Prophet.

Chapter 328 The Terrible Curse
After Herodotus got the answer he wanted, he didn't stay any longer in Iron Horn City, and immediately asked Sister Naima to prepare the carriage back to Multiscale City.

Then he turned to Clara, who was still in a daze, and said, "You should clean up, too."

"Huh?" Clara didn't react at first, until Herodotus repeated, "You want to come with me."

The little maid couldn't help being dumbfounded.

"The reason why I asked Jin Tong to bring you here at the beginning was because I was not sure if you could also communicate with Saturday and tell Merlin where you are now through Saturday." Herodotus explained.

"But now it seems that you obviously don't have such ability. You just learned the means of connecting with the gods from Merlin, but you are neither devout enough nor trained enough."

Clara couldn't refute, because these three points were exactly what she mentioned when she fooled Herodotus earlier.

Unexpectedly, it was applied back to her by the latter, and it also perfectly explained why she couldn't communicate with Saturday.

With this ability to infer other cases from one instance, the little maid can only feel that she is worthy of being the high priest of the Silver Moon Church.

But what Herodotus said next made her heart sink again.

"Besides, you have to help me continue to train the ability to communicate with the goddess. As you said, the more you practice this ability, the more proficient you will become."

"Uh, yes...wrong."

"Very well, then you will stay with me from now on. Whenever I can establish a stable connection with Picia like Merlin, I will send you back to the green field. I will do what I say." Hiro Dodd said.

Clara felt a bitterness in her heart.

She didn't suspect that Herodotus was lying to her, because it didn't matter whether she was cheating or not, anyway, she couldn't do what Herodotus asked.

But it's definitely not okay to be frank. Although the little maid is heartless, she is not stupid.

She knew that the reason why Herodotus hadn't killed her now was because she was still useful, so even in order to continue to live, she had to bite the bullet and sing the play.

So Clara didn't say anything, just nodded, and was about to go back to the room to pack her things, but at this moment Ruby suddenly said courteously, "Master Herodotus, what do you want to bring, give it to me Take it."

"No, I don't have anything to bring, and you don't have to follow this time."

"But I still have to take care of Miss Mary." Ruby's face became a little ugly, and she forced a smile.

"Oh, I've worked hard for you during this time, you've done a good job, I told you I'll reward your loyalty, you can stay here and have a good rest, go to the market, buy yourself a new dress or something, Nai Mama, give her five golden lions. As for Mary, I will arrange other people to take care of her."

"But I don't want to rest," Ruby became more and more anxious, "Please take me with you, even if I don't continue to take care of Miss Mary, I can do other things."

"Next time." Herodotus said in an unquestionable tone.

Ruby failed to recommend herself, and her expression was pale.

She didn't really want to rest, but just bumped into Herodotus to whip herself a few days ago, and now she heard the latter's crazy plan, and she was not as irreplaceable to Herodotus as Clara.

Ruby knew exactly what was waiting for her once she and Clara separated.

However, she did not dare to disobey Herodotus' order. Just when she was feeling desperate, Clara's voice sounded again, "But I still prefer Ruby to take care of me."

Herodotus thought for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons, and then said to Ruby, "Then you should clean it up too."

Obviously Herodotus only paused for a breath, but to Ruby, it seemed as long as 1 years.

When Ruby heard the last sentence, she only felt her body go limp.

After returning to the house and closing the door, the first thing Ruby did was to thank Clara.

The little maid blinked, "It's nothing, you helped me before, we only have each other now, of course we have to take good care of each other."

Ruby shook her body, and then seemed to have made up her mind, and pulled Clara further away from the door, lying on the little maid's ear and said.

"I...I have to confess one thing to you. I actually came to approach you at the order of Herodotus and became friends with you. This will make it easier to get secrets out of your mouth."

Ruby was already expecting Clara's shock and anger when she finished speaking.

However, when she took half a step back and raised her head, she found that the little maid was much calmer than she had imagined.

"You already knew?" Ruby was surprised.

"No, but since I'm still alive, it means you haven't betrayed me," Clara waved her hand, "Other things are trivial."

"You're a good man, Mary," Ruby said. "You're right. We have to protect each other. Is there anything you can do for me?"

"At present, Herodotus must first be stabilized. He will definitely not be satisfied with letting me pound clay pots all the time. After all, I told him that ability will become stronger with practice."

"Then do you have any other... that kind of experiment?"

"I thought of another one in the past two days, and I happened to have the materials at hand, but I haven't figured out how to explain it this time. After all, the phenomenon this time is not as simple and clear as whether the cotton burns or not."

"Making up stories? That's exactly what I'm good at." Ruby volunteered, "You can leave that part to me."

"Great!" The little maid was overjoyed, "But this is not the only solution. Sooner or later, we will be exposed. We still have to contact the Shuangxiu Church. As long as he knows where I am, Merlin will definitely have a way to get us. Get out."

"Since Herodotus has decided to bring you back to Multiscale City, he will definitely treat you like a dead man and will not give you a chance to contact the outside world. However, he may still relax his vigilance towards me. Maybe I can help you get the news out."

"Then please."

"We can definitely go back to Greenfield."

"No, no, don't say that." The little maid's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she quickly covered Ruby's mouth with her hand.

The latter looked puzzled, "Why? I just want to cheer you up."

"There's nothing wrong with this goal, but Merlin calls this kind of behavior a flag, and it's an invisible curse in the Kingdom of God. Anyway, it's better not to say that when it's okay. It's as powerful as Merlin's prophet. Can't live with this curse."

"Okay. Then I won't say that again." Seeing Clara's serious face, Ruby also felt the seriousness of the situation, so she quickly assured her.
