Working Prophet.

Chapter 8 What is your job?
As soon as Levin saw Li Yu's eyes sharpened, he put one hand on the hilt of his sword, and said in a deep voice, "Who is your Excellency? Why did you break into the Marquis' mansion at night!"

Li Yu remained silent.

The captain of the guard's face became more and more gloomy, the palm holding the sword was tense, and the veins on the back of the palm were looming. If he hadn't cared about Ilea's safety, he might have drawn his sword and cut someone down.

And at this critical moment, Miss Rabbit suddenly said, "Captain Levin, this is my advisor... Well, Merlin."

"Human consultant?" The murderous intent in Levin's eyes faded, replaced by a strange look.

He seemed to want to say something, but he held back in the end, and just reminded, "Miss Ilea, this is the Marquis's mansion, not the Teacup Castle of the Arias family. Even if your people enter, you must notify in advance, let alone now It's getting late."

"I'm sorry, Captain Levin," Ilea quickly bowed and apologized, "I promise there will be no next time."

The captain of the guard looked pale, looked at Li Yu again, finally let go of the hand holding the sword, and his tone slowed down a lot, he turned his head and said to Miss Rabbit.

"I am deeply sorry for what happened to your father, Miss Ilea. Although Sir Ruth and I don't know each other very well, and I only met your father a few times at the wedding banquet of the eldest daughter of the Marquess and on the winter hunting day, but for his Gao Jie's character has long been heard, and the Marquis has praised our father's loyalty and bravery to us more than once, and losing him is a great loss for all of us."

Hearing Levin's words, Ilea's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eye sockets also turned red.

The captain of the guard sighed, "Tomorrow is the election day, I hope you are ready to become the next successor of Lu Ye, and I also hope that your advisor can perform his duties and provide you with wise enough advice.

Ilea nodded at the captain of the guard, "Thank you for your concern, but I have not slacked off during this time, and I have already won the support of the majority of the tribe, and I can swear allegiance to the Marquis after the vote tomorrow morning."

"I hope so."

The captain of the guard bowed slightly to Ilea, turned and said goodbye.

The courtyard was quiet again.

Miss Rabbit and Li Yu stared at each other. After a while, Li Yu said, "Tell me about your election tomorrow."

"Hey, hey, why is your focus here?" Ilea said dissatisfied, "I just saved your life, don't you even want to say thank you, it's too rude Well, besides, I still don't know your name!"

"Didn't you call me Mei Lin? I think it's a pretty good name. I'll call it that from now on." Li Yu said.

"........."

"As for thanking you, I'm doing it now." Li Yu continued.

"Really? But why didn't I hear those two words? The hearing of our Arias family is very good. As long as you speak, I can hear you no matter how softly you speak." Ilea said proudly Shaking the pair of long furry ears on his head.

"Words are not enough to express my gratitude, so I choose to replace it with practical actions." Li Yu said.

"What do you want to do?"

Miss Rabbit's suspicion is quite serious, hearing this, instead of feeling happy, she became alert again.

"Don't worry, I'm just doing my job."

"Your job, what is that?"

"Provide my clients with various consulting suggestions." Li Yu answered in strict accordance with the job content on the recruitment brochure.

"Don't be stupid, what I said just now was just to save you, you are not really my advisor," Ilea shook her head like a rattle, "Besides, I don't need someone who knows nothing about the empire." , Even the founding emperor of the dynasty doesn’t know who the foreigner gave me advice, it’s too embarrassing for the Arias family if it spreads, it’s not good for me to govern the territory in the future.”

"I do have to take some time to understand this new world, but in terms of workplace or interpersonal relationships, in fact, no matter which world is basically the same, for example, the captain of the guard just reminded you in a more tactful way that tomorrow's Elections may change."

"Is there?" Ilea was skeptical, and she recalled Levin's previous words, but she didn't think there was anything wrong.

But Li Yu closed his mouth and said no more.

The best way to deal with a suspicious patient is not to try every means to explain to him, analyze each word one by one, and state the pros and cons. This will only make him more suspicious of your ulterior motives.

It's better to just say something lightly, and half of the words will arouse his suspicions, and then he will use his brain, follow the clues, and complete the rest by himself.

Doing so can save time and effort, and get twice the result with half the effort.

Sure enough, the girl's face changed several times, not only muttering, but also counting her supporters with her fingers.

She did the calculations several times before she breathed a sigh of relief, "I was almost fooled by you, you are just scaremongering, Mr. Marquis is just a notary tomorrow, and there are seven people who have the right to vote, all of whom are members of our family.

"I was brought up by my great-grandmother. She has always loved me and will definitely support me unconditionally. Aunt Alisa and my mother are like sisters and will definitely stand by my side.

"And she also promised me to help me convince her uncle Torres, who has always been close to her. Torres is still training in the Second Knights of the Royal Capital at the moment, and he can't get back, but he will write a letter to exercise his voting rights.

"In this way, I have three votes in my hand, and Uncle Lucio has always disliked my stepmother Vanessa, so he will definitely not vote for my younger brother. In addition, I persuaded Uncle Antonio to support it yesterday afternoon. Me, I got five out of seven votes, so I'm already foolproof, okay?"

"It sounds like you have a great chance of winning." Li Yu admitted, "However, the captain of the guard named Levin will not be indiscriminate. Since he is the captain of the guard and is responsible for guarding the Marquis's mansion, he must be well-informed if he wants to come. In the past few days May have heard something.

"Although you are fully prepared, your opponent will definitely not sit still. He may also be running around when you act. How can you be sure that the person you won before will not be won by him again?"

"Because those people swore to me in the name of the gods and ancestors." Miss Rabbit said without thinking, please, I still need someone to teach me about this kind of thing.

Seeing Li Yu's surprised face, she sighed again, and looked at someone with a look of caring for a fool.

"I don't know what it's like in your hometown. Anyway, in the continent of Bratis, the oaths made in the names of the gods and ancestors for thousands of years have always been sacred and unshakable. Those who violate the oath will lose all honor , being spurned and despised by the world. Especially for nobles, it is something more terrible than death."

Li Yu snorted, noncommittal, "Since you already have the winning ticket, why don't you go to bed so late, sitting alone on the stone bench in the courtyard in a daze?"

"........."

Miss Rabbit was speechless.

She can't always say that this is the case for us patients with severe hypochondriacs.

"There is still some time before dawn. Instead of sitting here, why don't you go to the voters and confirm their choices for the last time, so that you can feel more at ease in case something goes wrong tomorrow," Li Yu suggested. .
