Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 12: Persecution Delusion
Several knights carefully lifted the plates, as solemnly as if they were performing a ceremony, placed them on the altar, and then went back to kneel and pray.

Li Chengxi only felt a question mark pop up in his head. He had never asked for a sacrifice.

Scroll the mouse wheel, zoom in, look up, down, left, right, and no matter how you look at it, it's a plate covered by a dinner cover.

I have seen people using cakes, livestock and fruits as sacrifices to gods, but it is okay to just put the plate up.

Or is it that Viola's understanding of the wooden plate is too superficial, thinking that the plate means that Li Chengxi is hungry?
To be honest, I am indeed hungry.

The small restaurant next door was closed, so Li Chengxi could only survive on instant noodles these days.

Okay, I hope I don't see anything scary.

I reached into the screen and pulled it back, and then I heard a slight ding sound as something hard hit the plastic on the edge of the screen.

The 16-inch laptop screen is indeed a bit small.

So Li Chengxi took another HDMI cable and connected the laptop to the surveillance screen in the store.

This time when he reached in, a large hemispherical dinner plate shining with silver light was barely pulled out with the movement of the screen.

He knocked on the warming cover and it seemed to be made of real silver.

Li Chengxi's mobile phone and the desktop computer upstairs automatically installed the game AAI as if they were infected with a virus. He has been using a laptop because he feels that if he wants to interact with people in the game, he must use a touch screen, and a normal screen will not work.

But since you can watch the surveillance screen, it doesn’t matter what screen it is.

Li Chengxi had no idea why this was happening, or why he could directly use his hands to influence things in the game and take things out of the game.

But as the saying goes, if it's a blessing, it's not a disaster. If it's a disaster, it's inevitable. Anyway, just play with it now and deal with it when there is a real problem.

He placed the plate on the counter and removed the cover. A layer of warm steam gently hit Li Chengxi's face.

Then he saw a bowl of vegetable soup, a plate of fried pork chop, and a large piece of white bread on the plate, all of which looked like they had just come out of the pan and were still steaming.

He bent down and sniffed. The steak should be lamb chops. It had a strong smell of mutton and not much spices were added to cover up the smell.

Although Li Chengxi doesn't like Western food very much, it is much better than instant noodles.

He took a bag of barbecue seasoning from his own shelf and sprinkled it on the steaks. Then Li Chengxi took out two large plastic bowls that came with the instant noodles and transferred the vegetable soup and steaks to them.

"The bread is a bit hard... Is this really what the nobles eat?"

The texture of the bread was more like biting into a slightly fluffy unleavened flatbread. It wasn't as soft as expected, and it was dry and tasteless, not as good as the cheap stuff on the shelves of my own store.

If you think about the background of the game carefully, it's good to have white bread to eat. Although there is magic, the level of social development is not much better than the Middle Ages.

He remembered that when he visited the villagers of Heim in the morning, he found that they all ate black bread, which needed to be soaked in hot water first and then mashed into a paste before eating. This was the staple food of the farmers.

In comparison, white bread is a treat fit for royalty.

In the 648th year of the Demon King Calendar,
April 2nd, night.

The golden wine glass slammed on the table with a thump, and Lord Leon exhaled a breath of alcohol:
"What on earth are you doing, Princess? Why don't you recruit soldiers and leave immediately? My territory will be destroyed by war if this continues!"

The young lord, who was only thirty years old, complained dissatisfiedly. He thought the princess would only stay here for a few days and then leave. He didn't expect that Viola planned to live in the Leon territory for a long time.

If the Demon Kingdom of Avarus still existed, it would be an unthinkable blessing for the princess to live here for a long time. But now that the kingdom is basically gone, it would be a huge hidden danger for the princess to live here for a long time.

"Does the princess have any intention of leaving recently?"

"No, my lord."

The butler beside him attentively refilled the golden goblet with wine and said softly:
"Your Highness has been talking to the common people in the city a lot recently, and I'm worried that those common people might say something bad about you."

"Humph! I don't care what the untouchables say!"

Lord Leon said angrily: "Your Highness Princess has no awareness of causing trouble to others. You are indeed an arrogant royal family."

"Your Excellency is right."

The butler echoed:
"We shouldn't have let her into the city when her highness came."

"You idiot! In name, I am still the lord of the Demon Kingdom of Avarus, so how can I not let her enter the city? Do you want to tarnish the reputation of my family?!"

"I said something wrong, please forgive me, Lord."

Nobles value their reputation, and some poor nobles have to maintain their dignity even if they have to put on a brave face, not to mention openly refusing to serve the lord they are supposed to serve. Once this gets out, Lord Leon will be too ashamed to face anyone.

But reputation is one thing, and whether Lord Leon is willing to let Princess Viola continue to stay in the territory is another.

The capital of the Demon Kingdom of Avarus was captured by the coalition of four nations, and the country was basically in a state of destruction. Even Lord Leon, who was at the border, had heard about it.

He didn't care whether the country existed or not, as long as he could continue to be the local emperor in this remote place.

His original plan was that no matter which country in the Four-Nation Alliance sent troops, he would immediately open the city, surrender, and pledge allegiance in one go.

loyalty?

Loyalty also depends on strength, okay.

There are only a hundred-odd soldiers in Leon Territory who are responsible for guarding the gate and maintaining law and order. They have no power to protect themselves. It is wise to change camps quickly.

But Lord Leon never expected that Princess Viola, who was supposed to be surrounded, could escape from the capital and pass through the encirclement into the territory of Leon.

Lord Leon had no choice but to put on a welcoming attitude when he saw Princess Viola, otherwise he might be hung on the city gate to dry on the spot.

Frowning, Lord Leon asked again:

"What did your highness do today?"

"The people who were watching said that the princess went to the village of Heim outside the city."

"Helm Village? What are you going there for?"

The butler shook his head:

"The people who were following them only saw a burst of light appear near the entrance of the village. The details are..."

"A burst of light..."

Lord Leon suddenly thought of something.

"You said before that the princess converted the audience hall into a chapel, right? Did you see the statues inside?"

"Well, although the statue is still being made by a stonemason, there is a holy emblem in the shape of a palm inside."

The butler gestured with his hands:
"Her Royal Highness leads people to pray inside every day."

"No, there is something strange. Although I rarely go to the capital, I also know that there is no god involved in the Avarus Demon Kingdom. If Her Highness the Princess is a believer, she should have spread the news long ago."

After thinking for a while, Lord Leon said:
"Which god do they worship?"

"No, I heard them mention something about the Demon King God."

Lord Leon had some impression of this name, remembering seeing it in the family library when he was a child. It was said that this demon king god created all the demons and was the true ancestor.

"I see!"

Hearing this, Lord Leon stood up and shouted angrily:
"Princess Viola wants to take my territory away!"
