Working Prophet.

Chapter 450 Follow the Light

In order to avoid complications, Ilea and the others left Lake City at dawn the next day, and embarked on the journey to the royal capital again.

Albus woke up last night, and then he seemed to be a different person. He stopped clamoring about becoming a knight squire, and became taciturn. The food and water he was given him almost None of them moved.

Ilea sent Ruby to take care of him for two days, but despite Ruby's persuasion, Albus was indifferent.

For this reason, the team stayed in a small village for a long time. Thomas went to find a herbalist nearby, checked Albus' body, boiled a few bowls of herbs and poured it down, but there was still no improvement.

Since she had to rush to the capital, the female lord couldn't spare more time to treat Albus, so she planned to keep him in the village.

He found a kind-hearted family to adopt him, and left seven gold coins for the family.

Afterwards, the female lord went to say goodbye to Albus, and saw a boy with sunken eyes and a dull face in the longhouse full of mud and chicken manure.

Miss Rabbit took two steps closer and said, "We're leaving, your current body can't travel long distances, so stay here to recuperate.

"No matter what you want to do in the future, revenge, or want to be a knight servant... you have to be alive first. Because only alive can there be hope."

After the female lord finished speaking, seeing Albus on the straw mat remained silent and did not stay any longer, she turned and walked out of the house.

But at this moment, the space around her suddenly distorted.

If Albus hadn't been staring straight ahead blankly, he might not have been able to catch that fleeting wave.

It seems that there is an invisible position that freezes the flying dust in the air there.

Then a figure in different black clothes appeared beside Ilea out of thin air.

And where he was standing, there happened to be a hole in the roof.

A beam of sunlight shot in from the hole and landed on the man's side face, drawing a golden outline on him.

Albus was stunned for about half a second, then suddenly fell to his knees and cried out with a wow.

Li Yu just arrived and couldn't figure out the situation, so he asked Ilea who was beside him, "Who is he?"

"We picked up a child in the city in the lake. His parents were dead. The guards of the Marier family were chasing him, so I took him out of the city." The female lord said.

"Oh." Li Yu thought for a while, took out a Snickers bar from the [Traveler's Exclusive Type III Backpack], tore off the outer packaging, and handed it to Albus.

"You look a little hypoglycemic, eat a piece of chocolate to pad your stomach first."

It was obvious that the man spoke a foreign language that Albus had never heard of, but it was miraculous that Albus could clearly understand the meaning of the other person's words.

Although he doesn't know what hypoglycemia and chocolate are.

Albus reached out his hand subconsciously, took the dark, suspicious-looking stick, and put it into his mouth.

It was a strange taste that the boy had never tasted before. It was a little bit bitter and a little bit astringent, but it was more sweet, with a mellow nutty aroma, and something soft and sticky that couldn't be explained.

After Li Yu gave away the Snickers bar, he left the longhouse with Ilea.

He didn't pay too much attention to the little boy in the room just now, but when the two walked a certain distance, Li Yu found that Albus was still staggering behind them.

"Why, do you have anything else to do?" Li Yu asked.

"I, I want to follow you." The young man knelt down on one knee, imitating the appearance of those knights in his memory.

After two days, this was the first time Albus spoke. Although his body was still shaking, his tone was firm.

"Do you know who I am?" Li Yu raised his eyebrows.

"You are Merlin, the Prophet Merlin of Shuangxiu Cult! The spokesperson of Saturday in the world."

"You should be a follower of Picia, now that you know who I am, do you still follow me?"

"Yes." Albus said without hesitation.

"why?"

"Because of... the light."

"Light?" Li Yu was also a little surprised by the boy's answer.

"You have light on your body. I saw it. Last year, my father took me on a long journey to deliver a batch of pigs to Huisong Castle next door. We missed the village where we could sleep at night, so we could only sleep in the wild."

"Seeing that night was coming, my father planned to go to the nearby woods to collect some firewood to start a fire, and asked me to guard the pigs, but I was very scared, afraid that after he left me, I would get lost in the dark.

"But my father told me not to be afraid, just remember to follow the light when you get lost."

Albus paused, "So I want to follow you."

"Interesting answer."

Li Yu looked at the wobbly boy, and thought of the stray dog ​​he saw in the green belt of the park not long ago.

Li Yu casually threw the unfinished half of the sausage to it, and then the little yellow dog followed him all the way to the outside of the office building, still reluctant to leave.

So Li Yu asked Zhang Yanlin to contact the property in the park to ask if anyone had lost their dog.

After getting a negative answer, Li Yu asked Zhang Yanlin to take the little dirt dog to the hospital, had a full set of examinations, prescribed medicine, bought pet supplies, and finally kept it in the office building.

"How is your body now?" Li Yu asked Albus, "We still have to go to the capital, so we can't delay too long for you."

"There is nothing wrong with my body, as long as there is food and water, I will recover soon." Albus said.

"Okay then, pack up and eat something, and then we'll leave." Li Yu said.

Although believers +1 is not very eye-catching to the current Shuangxiu religion, Li Yu has no reason to refuse.

About half an hour later, everyone set off from the small village again, and then the team accelerated a little, and it took about half a month to leave the western border.

After leaving the Western Territory, Ilea and the others breathed a sigh of relief, obviously a lot more relaxed, because it meant that they had left the influence range of the Blood Moon Society.

Although there are some believers of Pithia outside the west, the number is not that many, and the risk of being assassinated and ambushed later is also much smaller.

Everyone walked forward for half a day and came to a place called Corner of Harvest. Ilea decided to rest here for two days and give everyone a vacation.

Even when going out, believers on Saturday still need to abide by the church's precepts. Of course, if the time is really tight, you can write it down first, and then take a rest and compensatory rest in the future.

After finding an inn in town, Albus pestered Thomas to teach him horseback riding and swordsmanship, while Jude decided to find a tavern for a drink and see if he could find some. fun.
