Working Prophet.

Chapter 44 The Power of Symbols

While Ilea was struggling with her new job, Li Yu on the other side followed the maid to her room.

According to the maid, this is the most comfortable and spacious room in the castle. It is located on the top floor like the master's bedroom, and all the furniture is of the highest standard.

Including feather mattresses, a complete set of walnut wood tables and chairs, engraved with the rabbit pattern of the Arias family, silver candle lampstands, and even the chamber pots are carefully carved... It can be seen that the layout is really well thought out. After a lot of effort, it is a pity that in terms of comfort, it is not as good as an express hotel that costs more than 100 yuan a night.

And because the room faces the outside of the castle, there is only one long and narrow window on the wall, so the lighting in the room is very ordinary even during the day.

Not to mention the unique cold feeling of pure stone buildings, it's okay to say in summer and autumn, but in spring and winter, this room must be even more uncomfortable to live in.

Li Yu has never quite understood why the protagonists in time-traveling novels can always quickly adapt to the environment, devote themselves to their kingly dominance, and don't miss their previous lives at all.

It stands to reason that modern people should have obvious withdrawal reactions if they don't touch their mobile phones for a day.

Fortunately, he doesn't have to live here all the time, and if he's on a business trip, there's no need to be too particular about it.

Li Yu removed the battery from the drone, and then put the drone, lighter, screwdriver and other odds and ends into the big iron box next to the bed, and locked it.

These things were brought one after another when he went to work these days.

Due to weight restrictions, Li Yu has to think carefully about what to bring this time before each departure, and in addition to things that need to be recharged such as electronic anti-riot devices, and mobile phones that are usually used, he usually brings them with him. I won't bring it back anymore, lest I have to take up the next weight quota.

Five kilograms sounds like a lot, but this figure includes his clothes and shoes.

Of course, Li Yu can also choose some lighter clothes, so that he can carry more supplies and equipment.

But Li Yu hesitated for a while, and gave up this tempting idea.

Because as far as he knows, it is no accident that almost every religion in the world has a dress code.

Just like Bruce Wayne is worth tens of billions, he can buy all the clothing factories in Gotham City and change himself a new look every day, but when he decides to switch to the role of Batman, he will always only wear Black armor, wearing a black mask, wearing a black cape, driving his black Batmobile.

Not because he doesn't like other colors and styles.Only in this way, when the Bat-Light appears over Gotham, the criminals and villains in the city will feel scared.

This is the power of symbols.

From an advertising point of view, uniform dress also helps to disseminate information.

The first time Li Yu showed up at the Marquis's mansion, he was wearing the suit he wore during the interview, and he left a deep impression on everyone, including Marquis Cullen.

Now if the residents in Yanxue City talk about his deeds and the magical methods he used, they will definitely talk about the foreigner in black clothes.

Yes, in this world without photos, without the Internet, people can only capture some main characteristics when describing others.

In other words, if Li Yu changed his clothes, those people would not recognize him.

So Li Yu simply showed off in a suit all the time. Anyway, wearing formal clothes to work is also a requirement of many companies.

After locking the box, Li Yu found the maid named Clara and asked the latter to take him around the castle to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment.

Clara was actually quite nervous at the beginning, because when Manager Fausto explained to her, he said that although Merlin was not a nobleman, he was a distinguished guest of the Arias family. confidant.

All his requirements must be met as much as possible, and those that cannot be met will be reported immediately, and Fausto will find a way.

Seeing that Li Yu was a foreigner, Clara was afraid that the latter would make such a weird request.

Aunt Marina, the oldest in the castle, once told her a story about a dwarf prince who came to Teacup Castle as a guest. It is said that as soon as the prince entered the house, he clamored for a maid to accompany him to sleep, and even asked for seven in one go. .

He would also cut off the hair under himself, put it in bread and swallow it with jam, and force the women around him to eat with him, because this is the way the dwarves express their love.

So Clara is very worried that Li Yu is also like this person.

But soon she found that her worries were unnecessary, Li Yu only stayed in the room for a short while, and did not let anyone else in, and then called Clara to take him wandering around the castle.

Whenever this foreigner in a strange black suit came across someone who was working, he would stop and ask him what he was doing, how he did it, and what was the result.

And the more detailed the respondent's answer is, the more satisfied he is.

Clara showed him the kitchen, the stables, the bread oven, the workshop and the shop, and then the two walked out of the castle to the nearby farmland.

Li Yu and those farmers chatted a lot with the peasant women. Of course, most of the time he was still just playing the role of a listener, just asking questions from time to time, and the content of the chat was not limited to farming and harvesting.

In fact, Li Yu's problems involve all aspects of life, and many of them are just trivial things in Clara's eyes, and many of them are common sense that almost everyone in the Bratis continent knows, which makes Clara faint Sleepy, but Li Yu still listened with gusto.

The two finally had dinner together at a farmer's house. Although the hostess of that house had tried her best and even brought out the bacon that she was usually reluctant to eat, the meal still seemed very simple.

Clara was a little worried that Li Yu would not be happy after eating, and the latter did not eat much, he only tasted a few mouthfuls, and then stopped doing anything.

But in the end Li Yu still thanked the family for their hospitality, and told Clara to wait for someone to bring the money for the meal.

By the end of the day, Clara had become acquainted with Li Yu, and her speech was not as reserved as before. After going out, she said to Li Yu, "Look, I told you earlier that there is nothing delicious outside."

"It doesn't matter, I just want to know about their lives." Li Yu said, "As for dinner, I can eat it when I go back."

Clara naturally thought that Li Yu's so-called going back meant going back to the castle, and it happened that the sun was setting at this time, so the two began to walk back.

However, what they didn't expect was that they were stopped by a person just as they walked to the gate of the castle.

The man didn't say a word, just looked up and down Li Yu with provocative eyes.

After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Are you that Merlin?"
