"How are you going to prove it?" Herodotus finally became interested and put down the bowl in his hand.

"Well, with your current proficiency, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to communicate directly with the goddess. But at this stage, you can start with simple questions, such as yes or no questions, and then ask Picia to send down the signs. ”

"Signs?" Herodotus touched his chin, "Well, it is true that a considerable number of oracles are communicated through signs, but they are not ordinary signs, but very rare signs, and only then will they be recognized as oracles."

"For example, a white dog gives birth to nine puppies, eight of which are white like their mothers, and only the ninth is black."

"Another example is a fisherman who had a great dream, in which Picia led him to the river, and when he woke up, he went to the place where the goddess had shown him to go, and there he caught a strange fish with three eyes."

Herodotus looked at Clara, "Is that the same sign you are talking about?" ”

"Of course." The little maid said firmly, "But I need to prepare first. ”

"What preparation?"

"I need a jar, the head, the body, and the tail, the thinner the better, and the inner walls as smooth as possible, so that the land can be connected to the kingdom of God."

"Slender jars?" Herodotus thought for a moment, "There shouldn't be such a strange-shaped jar in this world, but it's okay, I can have someone burn one for you overnight." ”

"That would be better." Clara paused, and then added, "Merlin said that when he practiced communicating Saturdays, he would engrave the clay pot with the clay crest of the Church of Shuangxiu.

"High Priest Herodotus, too, do the same, and engrave the crest of your Silvermoon Church on the outside of the jar, so that you can be sure that it is Picia who responds to you."

"Not only that, but I'll also perform an exorcism ritual on the clay pot before this to make sure it won't be tampered with by your gods." Herodotus said lightly.

"Uh......" Clara hesitated.

"It's not negotiable." Herodotus said categorically, "I'm going to contact Picia, not Saturday." ”

"Okay." The little maid finally relented.

"I'll have the clay pot delivered by sunset tomorrow, but the ugly words are ahead, if I don't see a sign that satisfies me enough, or if I find out you're lying to ......me," Herodotus smiled with a grim smile on his face.

"I understand." Clara straightened her waist and clenched her fists.

Herodotus said nothing more, got up and left the room, and after a while there was another knock at the door.

The little maid opened the door and found Ruby standing outside.

The latter was looking at her worriedly.

Clara let Ruby into the house, and as soon as she closed the door, Ruby couldn't wait, "Are you okay?" There were no injuries. ”

"I'm fine." Clara didn't want her friend to worry, and tried to squeeze a smile out of her face.

Ruby was relieved when she swept the little maid up and down, and then asked, "What did Lord Herodotus come to you for?" ”

"He wanted me to do him a favor."

"What's the busy?"

"Help him contact Picia."

Ruby was taken aback, covered her mouth and said, "You can still do such a thing?" ”

"I can't do it." The little maid shook her head, "But I have to convince him that I can do it so that I can continue to live." ”

"How?"

"Merlin once did an experiment that seemed to be about doing work and heating up, which was quite magical, and I was watching it at the time, and he explained to me how it worked. If I could replicate that experiment, Herodotus might believe me. ”

"Experiments? What is an experiment. Ruby blinked.

Merlin said that experiments are simulation studies conducted to explore or verify truths, which can help us better understand the world.

Even after listening to the little maid's explanation, Ruby still looked dazed.

So Clara had to change the way it was easier for Ruby to understand, "I'll have to imitate Merlin tomorrow to perform a miracle in public." ”

"Do you have such powerful divine powers?" Ruby took Clara's hand.

"I'm just getting started in terms of divine power, but I can't help it, I can only fight." The little maid said firmly, "We have agreed that we will go back to the green field together, and I can introduce Merlin and the magical little frog to you when the time comes." ”

"But I'm just a maid."

"I'm also a maid, we are a maid alliance, rest assured, the Shuangxiu Sect does not discriminate against maids."

…………

After leaving Clara's house, Ruby returned to Herodotus' quarters.

As soon as I got close to the room, I heard a heavy wheezing from inside, followed by the sound of something whapping against my skin.

Ruby felt a bad feeling in her heart and wanted to retreat, but Herodotus's voice was already coming from inside the house.

"Come in."

Ruby did not dare to disobey his orders, so she obediently pushed open the hidden door, first choking on a cloud of white smoke and coughing, and then her head became a little dizzy.

When she came back to her senses, she saw the topless high priest in the room, holding a thorn.

And it wasn't anyone else he was whipping, it was himself.

Ruby noticed that Herodotus' back was bruised and swollen, and after just one look, she quickly lowered her head.

Herodotus tossed the thorn aside, put on his shirt, and said, "You went and asked her, what did she say?" ”

"With all due respect, she doesn't look sure."

Herodotus was not surprised by this, but sighed.

"After all, it's just a maid, there's no way, who made Merlin can't catch it at all, the key is whether she is lying to me for her life, or is she really helping me solve trouble."

"From what I have learned, it should be the first one." Ruby said.

"Oh?" Herodotus raised an eyebrow.

She said that she had only used this method once, but that she had not made any contact with Saturday when she used it herself, and that she did not think it would work for Picia.

Ruby raised her head and said seriously, "My lord, I think she is cheating on you and disrespecting you, should we give her some punishment?" ”

"Don't worry, wait for tomorrow, tomorrow you will know how many pounds and taels she has, if she fails to do what she promised, it will be too late to punish her."

Herodotus paused, and then said to Ruby, "You have done a good job this time, you are very good at lying, and I hope you will make the most of this skill."

"But one thing you have to remember is to be honest with me at all times, can you do that?"

"I will, master." Ruby knelt at Herodotus' feet and kissed his boots.
