Working Prophet.

Chapter 449 Ilea's Proposal
"No knight would want you with such a small body," Jude said.

"I'm eating well every day, and I'm going to grow taller and stronger!" Albus retorted immediately.

Lorraine, Ferdinand's advisor, said, "One more thing is worse than one less thing. I should give this child to the Marier family and explain the situation as much as possible."

"They're going to kill him," Thomas said. "No matter what we say, you just saw how they treat those who are suspected."

"Take him with you, anyway, we will leave Lake City tomorrow." Redio also said.

Ilea looked at Ferdinand, whose expression remained unchanged, "But I will support you in whatever decision you make."

"Then take him with you." The female lord no longer hesitated, and asked Albus, "Can you ride a horse?"

Albus blushed, "I don't know it yet, because Angie doesn't let me ride the guests' horses, but I will definitely learn in the future, and I won't go with you, my home is in the lake City, my parents are here, I will not leave unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless there is a knight lord who takes a fancy to me and wants me to be his attendant." Albus puffed up his chest again, his eyes full of hope.

"Coincidentally, I am a knight." Miss Rabbit said.

"What are you talking about, you are a woman, how could you be a knight." Halfway through Albus's words, the female lord took off the hood on her head, revealing the pair of long ears underneath.

Albus was stunned, "Rabbit ears... wait, you, you are the dragon slaying knight Ilea of ​​the Arias family!"

Albus trembled in the second half of the sentence because he was too excited.

It's like a little fan who finally saved enough money to meet his idol.

"You single-handedly killed the black dragon. They all say that you are the strongest knight in the western region. It is my honor to serve you!!!"

"It's not that exaggerated... Don't worry, I haven't agreed to you to be my squire knight yet."

Ilea imitated Ferdinand and put on a straight face, "My requirements are very strict, you have to pass my test first, and you are too young now."

"I'll pass the test, and I'll grow up soon!" Albus promised.

He felt as if he was about to be knocked out by the good news that fell from the sky, and he still couldn't believe what had happened until now.

Albus thought it was his lucky day.

However, the eyes of other people in the room looked at him still a little strangely, which implied a trace of pity and sympathy.

After dancing around for a while, Albus finally realized something was wrong, and looked at the female lord again.

"The first test of becoming a knight servant," Ilea said, "You need to become strong first, and you cannot be easily overwhelmed by pain and sorrow."

"I can do it!" Albus said without hesitation.

"No, this is much more difficult than you imagined." The female lord paused and continued, "I'm sorry, your father and mother, they... are no longer here."

"What is gone?" Albus was a little dazed.

"Not long ago, they and some other people attacked the team of the Mariel family escorting prisoners." Angie, the hotel owner, said with difficulty.

"They got caught?"

"No, they were killed by the guards."

Albus' body shook violently when he heard the words, he clenched his fists tightly, and said nothing, it could be seen that he was trying his best to endure.After a while, he rolled his eyes and passed out like this.

"It seems that your future knight attendant is not as strong as he thought." Jude said to Ilea.

"Normal. After all, he is only eleven or twelve years old. Do you remember what you were doing when you were eleven or twelve?"

"At that time, I was already living alone in the woods, and I even killed a mercenary who wanted to exchange my head for reward." The ugly-faced man said lightly.

"Okay, just pretend I asked the wrong person."

The female lord didn't take this matter too seriously. The reason why she rescued Albus was because she felt that the guards of the Mariel family had gone too far.

Not to mention killing the righteous master, but also killing their family and friends.Secondly, maybe because she herself lost her mother and father, she also developed a sense of sympathy with the boy named Albus.

But of course the squire's talk was just to fool Albus.

Ilea is a majestic dragon slayer knight, the patriarch of the Arias family, if she really wanted to find a follower, she would not find a child.

In the current Western Region, I don't know how many people lined up to be the servant of the female lord.

At least a dozen aristocratic families have expressed their intentions in this regard, hoping to send their nephews to work for Ilea.

This can be regarded as a tradition in Bratis Continent. Many famous and important people started as servants. In fact, this even includes the current army commander of the empire. It is a recognized step up.

But the female lord has not agreed. It's not that Ilea doesn't like those candidates, but mainly because she feels that this thing is useless.

After all, she doesn't ride a horse to fight, and she doesn't need someone to wear and remove her armor frequently, take care of the horses, Thomas protects her when she travels, and Ruby takes care of her daily life.

The most important thing is that raising a servant requires a lot of extra expenses, which is a bit of a waste of money, so the female lord temporarily vacated this position.

What she was thinking about at the moment was another thing. She had received a lot of news from her great-grandmother when she was in the green field.

I know that the current western region is not peaceful, but if I don’t come out, I don’t know that Herodotus and the Blood Moon Society have actually reached this level.

Even the city in the lake, which has been run by the Mariel family for more than 2000 years, is in turmoil. The most important thing is that these nobles are so vicious and arrest so many people, but it is still no good to take the blood moon society hidden in the dark Method.

On the contrary, due to various drastic measures, a lot of people's anger was aroused, and the attitudes of many civilians who were not on Herodotus' side also began to change.

It was clear that the western region had just ushered in a bumper harvest, but on the side of the road, Ilea didn't feel much excitement on the faces of the farmers and ordinary people in the town.

Along the way, I saw many tragedies similar to those that happened in the city in the lake.

The Silver Moon Church, which should have stepped forward at this time to protect the believers, was very slow because of those historical issues.

Although the seven newly elected high priests are also trying to negotiate with those noble families, the effect of their activities is very mediocre, and this performance further accelerates the loss of hearts.

Ilea had a vague premonition that if things went on like this, something serious might happen in the western region, she said to Ferdinand.

"Why don't you convert the people in your territory to believe in Saturday, we have fought side by side, and you have seen the magical methods of the Prophet Merlin.

"Look at my territory. Belief in Saturday will not only not reduce your income, but will also make you more and more. In this way, you don't have to worry about the infiltration of the Blood Moon Society all day long."

The young Patriarch of the Bathory family didn't refuse, but he didn't agree immediately either. Hearing the words, he just said, "Let me think about it again."
