Seeing the sun setting in the west and the sky getting dark, Ilea only felt tired and hungry, and her legs felt like they were filled with lead.

She found a stone, ignored the moss and dirt on it, just sat down, and then said to Li Yu, "Almost, we have come a long way, let's get here today." ”

Li Yu is actually quite tired, as a city white-collar worker, he usually doesn't exercise much, plus the companies he worked in before have been working overtime, so he can still hold on to his youth, but his body is far worse than when he just graduated, let alone when he first entered school.

After walking for an afternoon, it was still a wild road, and he obviously felt tired, and he originally planned to rest after walking a few more miles, but since Miss Rabbit had already taken root here, Li Yu also stopped.

He gathered some relatively dry twigs nearby, piled them on the ground, and then pulled out a piece of metal with a hollow inside and a small rock with a sharp edge from his luggage.

These two things were also bought at the bazaar, and of course paid for by Ilea, the former being called a fire sickle and the latter being flint.

Knock these two things together and you can make a fire, at least that's what the history books say.

However, Li Yu tried to hit a few times, and although there were sporadic sparks bursting out, they fell on those branches and quickly extinguished.

Li Yu tossed like this for five minutes, his wrists were sore, and the fire didn't start.

When he looked up again, he found that Ilea was looking at him with a strange expression.

"Something?"

"You said you were a foreigner, you traveled all the way to the continent of Brattis, and then you didn't know that you need velvet to start a fire?"

"I never said I made the trek all the way to the continent of Brattis." Hearing this, Li Yu dropped the fire sickle and flint in his hand, and also found a fairly clean stone to sit down, "Besides, why didn't you remind me at the market before?" ”

"Uh...... Ever since you showed your skills at the Marquis's Mansion at noon, single-handedly rewriting the election results and making me the head of the Arias family, you have been strategizing the whole process, acting as if you were omniscient and omnipotent, how could I know that you don't even understand such a simple thing? I thought you had velvet on you, so I didn't buy it. "Miss Rabbit is very innocent.

"It's been a long time since my hometown didn't start a fire in this way," Li Yu said, "It's normal for my memory to be omission." ”

"Where the hell is your hometown? Why don't you want to tell me," the girl wondered, "I don't even know what your real name is, Merlin just said it casually, and it was strange that I just called you all the way." ”

Li Yu pointed to Ilea's chest, "You haven't told me where your necklace came from." ”

"This?" The girl took off the necklace from her neck, held it in her hand, and her expression darkened, "This is a gift from my father on my sixteenth birthday.

He said he picked it up when he was a kid playing by the river, and oh yes, he and his mom met it there, and he said that it housed an ancient spirit of the Arias family. ”

"Huh?"

"You're not from the Empire, so you haven't heard of the ancient legends that have been passed down among the major families, and it is said that our ancestors did not really die, but became ancient spirits, who have been sheltering us, and when necessary, they will appear as animals on the family coat of arms to help us through the crisis."

"That's why every family has a similar rule, except when it comes to life-threatening last resort, descendants are not allowed to kill for any reason, eat animals on the coat of arms, and usually this rule is extended to the entire territory."

"That means that your Arias family never eats rabbit meat, and then you can't kill lions in the entire empire?"

"Unless your life is at stake, that's it." Miss Rabbit nodded, and then sighed again, "Unfortunately, it didn't take long for the ancient spirit in the necklace to fall into a complete slumber, and no one except my father woke it up. ”

"Can you show me?" Li Yu said.

This time, Ilea did not refuse again, and handed the precious necklace to Li Yu's hand, and at the same time said, "I have consulted several craftsmen, and they all said that they have never seen similar materials on the Brattis continent, especially the three small dots in the middle, which are very strange to the touch.

"I think they may be the key to awakening the ancient spirit that resides within, and if I can unravel the mysteries, I may be able to lead the Arias family to a great cause......

The girl is full of longing for the future, but Li Yu interrupts her dream.

"There's no power."

"What did you say?"

"I said the electronic pet egg you wore around your neck should be out of power. That's why it can't be turned on, and did your father pick up anything else on that riverbank? ”

Li Yu returned the pet egg to Ilea.

"No, that's all there is to it...... Do you know what this thing is? Have you ever seen it? In your hometown? Miss Rabbit looked excited, excited that she was about to find the answer to the problem she had been searching for for years.

"Well, we used to have a lot of this stuff there, but unfortunately it's the tears of the times now." After Li Yu finished speaking, he found that the girl's gaze at him was very complicated.

But before Miss Rabbit could say anything, her stomach let out a rumbling sound.

Li Yu took out some jerky and bread from his bag, because he couldn't make a fire, the two of them could only just eat a little cold, barely fill their stomachs, and drank a few sips of stream water.

By this time it was completely dark.

Fortunately, the moon was still bright, and Miss Rabbit used the moonlight above her head to find a fairly flat place in the forest, and then kept the more flat part for herself, and the slightly less flat part was assigned to Li Yu.

After that, she secretly glanced at Li Yu, worried that someone would see through her careful thoughts.

As a result, he found that Li Yu was unusual, looking a little absent-minded, and looked at the round little thing on his right wrist from time to time.

On the way, Ireya also peeked a few times, it was a metal disc with a scale, and there were three small needles of different lengths on it, which would move on the metal disc at different speeds, which was very magical, but I didn't know what it was for.

However, seeing that Li Yu didn't notice that the place where he slept was better than him, this still made Miss Rabbit a little happy, although this ghost place was open-air, there were no beds, no quilts, and there were a lot of mosquitoes, and as a nobleman, Ireya had never spent the night in such a bad environment before.

But the sense of happiness is comparative, anyway, the place where she can lie down for a while is still slightly smoother than Li Yu's.

The girl was comforting herself like this, and she saw Li Yu, who was still standing beside her, suddenly disappear out of thin air without warning.

Just like last night when the latter came.
