Clara looked up at the man who walked in.

Unlike the little maid's imagination, the person who came was dressed very plainly, just like the clothes of the travelers who could be seen everywhere on the continent of Bratis.

He has a medium build, a triangular face, a low nose, and the most striking thing is his eyes, which are rectangular in their pupils, unlike ordinary eyes.

The little maid instinctively felt uncomfortable when she was targeted by the pair of pupils, and in addition to that, when the man took off his hood, Clara noticed a pair of black horns on his head.

For some reason, the pair of black horns had been smoothed out, leaving only a small part of the roots.

"Clara," the visitor said again after Ruby left, "or would you prefer me to call you by your Christian name, Mary, you should already know who I am." ”

“…………”

The little maid was silent when she heard this.

Herodotus smiled when he saw this, "I heard that Grandma Naima said that Ling and Ruby have been together very happily during this time, and you have become friends now, but you don't have to worry about her, I will not punish her for this little thing." ”

"High Priest Herodotus, I don't understand why a big man like you would be interested in such an insignificant little role as me?" Clara finally asked the doubts in her heart.

"Even if it's the hero's favorite long poem of the bard, there are many chapters in it that are related to minor characters."

Herodotus looked at Clara again after speaking, and found that the latter was still at a loss, so he finally stopped selling it.

"Well, I was going to ask Prophet Merlin to meet me, but I didn't succeed, so I had to settle for the next best thing."

"Then you have a bit to take a step back, I'm just a little maid who takes care of the daily life of the Prophet Merlin."

"Yes, I know...... And that's why I asked you to be here. Herodotus said, "Actually, I have some questions for you. ”

"You, High Priest of the Silvermoon Church, do you have any questions that I need answered?" Clara's eyes widened.

"There's a proverb on the continent of Brattis that even the stupidest farmer is smarter than the learned, and besides, you're the one who's been with the Prophet Merlin the longest, and you must know some secrets that no one else knows."

"But what if I don't know?"

"Then you won't be of any use to me," Herodotus didn't deliberately threaten the little maid, but only reminded, "You're a heretic, and the relationship between the Church of the Two Moons and the Silvermoon Church is very tense right now. ”

Clara remembered the story of the bad-grumpy tavern owner that Golden Hitomi had told her before, and couldn't help but shudder.

"Even putting aside our position, I have been entertaining you for more than a month, and I have fulfilled the friendship of the landlord. In the past month or so, I haven't treated you badly in terms of food and clothing, so even if it's just out of courtesy, you should repay me a little. ”

The little maid took a deep breath, "I see, I wonder what you want to ask, High Priest Herodotus?" ”

Herodotus glanced at Clara appreciatively, "Let's start with the simplest, I've had a little communication problem with my goddess recently, I can't hear her anymore, and I happen to have an urgent matter to consult her."

"I've heard that Merlin can stay in touch with Saturday and even go back to the Kingdom of God, and I wonder how he did it."

"Our Lord Saturday is not a god on this continent." Despite Clara's efforts to keep her composure, she heard her teeth chattering.

"I know, but I think there must be something in common."

Herodotus said, "Actually, I also have a method of communicating with Piciah, which has always been recorded in the canons of the church, and has been used by many oracles before, so it must be fine."

"I'm using it myself, and it works...... It's pretty good, maybe once in four or five times, but just recently, this method suddenly didn't work. ”

Herodotus had completely put aside his shelves, and had laid out the difficulties he had recently encountered, as if he were a patient who had come to see a doctor.

"Could it be that Picia happens to be busy?" The little maid swallowed and said, "Or maybe there are too many people praying lately, and she can't take care of you for the time being." ”

Herodotus was not angry when he heard this, but nodded and said, "Indeed, your guess is also possible, but you should know that I will not be satisfied with such an answer.

"Or if I put it another way, how can I get Picia to respond to me now?"

Clara wanted to say at the time, "You, the high priest, don't know how to contact your goddess yourself, and came to me to ask me about the believers of this Saturday?"

But at the last moment, the little maid still held back, because she knew that if she really said that, she would probably never be able to return to the green field again, and she would not be able to see Li Yu and the little frog.

Clara took another deep breath, closed her eyes, and forced herself to calm down, while quickly recalling in her head the half year she had lived with Li Yu before.

recalling Li Yu's words and deeds, he worked hard to find hope for life.

Herodotus did not disturb her, and took the flask on the table and poured himself a bowl of wine, drinking as he waited for the little maid's answer.

After a few moments, Clara opened her eyes again.

"Merlin said that it is not easy to establish a stable connection with the gods, and he is the only one in the entire Shuangxiu Sect now."

Herodotus was noncommittal, and the little maid continued, "First of all, you must be very religious. ”

"There is no one in the entire Silvermoon Church who is more religious than me, otherwise Picia would not have chosen me to lead the church."

"I know, but it takes talent, very rare talent, to communicate with the gods."

"Oracle, the Church will select oracles from among the priests to receive oracles from Pithia, but since I have done it before, it means that I also have the talent for it."

Herodotus began to get impatient, and what Clara had said so far was what he already knew.

"Also, this kind of thing needs to be practiced." The little maid saw Herodotus' impatience and quickly answered.

"Oh?" Herodotus raised an eyebrow.

"That's right, Merlin said that communicating with the gods is essentially an ability, and like all abilities, it needs to be practiced constantly, and only practice makes perfect can improve the success rate."

"That's pretty new." Herodotus stared at the little maid meaningfully, "But it also sounds like you made it up, and liars have a price." ”

"I can attest to that." Clara said unafraid.
