Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 14 Terminal Illness
The next morning, Li Chengxi opened the store's roller door and sat behind the cash register.

I don’t know if it’s because I woke up in the middle of the night, but my head is a little dizzy.

After paying the bills for a few children who came to buy bread and milk in the morning, Li Chengxi opened his laptop to check what was going on in the game.

It was not yet fully light in the game, but Li Chengxi was surprised to find that Viola had already gotten up.

After a quick search, I found Viola in her pajamas, processing documents at the table with a few guards.

Li Chengxi pressed his swollen temple:

"Speaking of which, I should tell her about the account book I found last night..."

Li Chengxi took out his headset and plugged it in. Just as he was about to "issue an oracle", he suddenly saw the door of the office being pushed open. A green-haired guard knight appeared there, speaking something to Viola in a nervous and loud voice.

Don’t be surprised by the green hair. Although Li Chengxi chose a fantasy script to start the game, there are still differences between magic and fantasy.

The painting style of Viola and the others is definitely not Western fantasy, it feels more like Japanese fantasy. The biggest feature is that the NPC's hair color is so colorful, including blue, green, purple, pink, and white.

Let’s not talk about this yet.

Since he hadn't clicked on Viola to make her portrait appear on the screen, Li Chengxi didn't see what they said to each other. He just found that after Viola finished listening to what the green-haired knight said, she immediately rushed out of the room without even changing her clothes.

But the other knights around her tried their best to stop her, some hugged her legs, some hugged her waist, in short, it seemed like they didn't want her to leave.

What happened?

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The 648th year of the Demon King Calendar.

April 3rd, early morning.

Since the lord decided to let Viola handle all matters in the territory, the princess got up before dawn today and ran to the office to deal with the backlog of documents with her guards.

Honestly speaking, there is not much point in doing this, because the vast majority of official documents are sent to the royal capital, but the royal capital has already fallen.

Perhaps, Viola wanted to numb herself with work and not think about the fact that her father and brother had died in the war, so she worked very hard.

"Your Highness, today's meal for His Majesty is cream stew and roast quail."

"Oh, that sounds good, but remember not to include the wine. Your Majesty doesn't seem to be interested in our wine."

Viola had presented another meal at Vespers yesterday evening, but they soon discovered that the wine on the returned tableware had not been touched.

"Maybe there's a better bar in the divine realm?"

"Of course."

Viola said as she looked at the document:

"Your Majesty, accepting the food we offer is merely a sign of recognition. The God Realm has plenty of fine wine and delicious food."

"By the way, Princess, did you notice that the tableware returned by the Lord has a very nice smell. Could it be the perfume of the maid who served the Lord?"

The knight on one side showed an admiring look:
"It smells so good, better than any perfume."

Of course they don’t know that the fragrance is actually detergent…

"Your Majesty always returns the tableware. Perhaps it is out of consideration for our finances. What a kind-hearted Your Majesty."

Even in the homes of nobles, silver tableware is an heirloom-level item. If a set is consumed for every sacrifice, the Leon territory will soon be out of silver.

"It is precisely because the Lord is so kind that we cannot take it for granted. We must maintain a grateful heart. As the Lord's servants in the mortal world, we should carry out his will."

Before Viola's perfect believer finished speaking, there was a hurried knock on the door.

After getting permission, the green-haired knight Shelley rushed into the office.

"What's wrong? Where is Zora? She's late today."

"Your Highness!"

Shelley said breathlessly:
"Captain Zora, she's going to die!" "What!"

Viola slammed the table in astonishment and stood up:
"What happened? Tell me clearly!"

"Captain Zora has been feeling unwell these past few days, and it got worse last night. He has been coughing the whole time, so we asked a doctor to come over. The doctor said it's a very serious lung disease, and there's no cure!"

As soon as these words came out, Viola felt a buzzing sensation in her head, as if a bomb had exploded in her brain.

The severe dizziness made her unable to stand steadily, and she hurriedly grabbed the edge of the table to avoid falling.

Zora is not only Viola's most trusted captain of the Knights Guard, but the two also grew up together and are their closest people and best friends.

After going through so much trouble and finally escaping to the temporarily safe Leon territory, and gaining the attention of the Demon King, things were clearly getting better, but suddenly a bolt from the blue struck.

"Where's Zora! I want to see her!"

"no!"

Shelley hurriedly blocked the door:

"The doctor said that Captain Zora's lung disease is contagious, so she can only be left alone..."

Before she finished speaking, Viola broke down and shouted:

"You want me to watch Zora die alone? Impossible!"

"Your Highness! Calm down!"

The knights who were sorting documents also rushed over and hugged Viola's thighs and waist, refusing to let her go.

If it really is a contagious lung disease, it would be all over if it was transmitted to Viola. She is the last direct descendant of the Avarus Demon Kingdom, and for a royal guard knight loyal to the royal family, she absolutely cannot afford to lose.

While stopping Viola, he quickly asked Xuelin who reported the news:
"Doctor, is there really nothing you can do?"

Shelley was already in tears, sobbing:

"There's no way! The doctor said that unless a miracle happens, Captain Zora is dead!"

The reason why a miracle is called a miracle is because it does not happen often.

But this sentence made Viola, who was struggling, stunned:
"A miracle...! Oh, take Zora to the chapel quickly. The Lord will surely find a way to save her!"

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Li Chenxi outside the screen looked at Viola in confusion as she struggled with her knight guards for a while, and then ran out of the room.

Could it be that there is an army attacking, so he is so anxious?
Moving the mouse and focusing the camera outside the Leon Fortress, Li Chengxi looked around along the dirt road.

"No? What are they in such a hurry for?"

The time displayed was half past eight, but the time in the game was half past four. The sky was just beginning to turn pale, and it was not yet time for morning prayers.

Or is the lord doing something outrageous again?
Move the camera again and look towards the lord's villa.

Maybe he drank too much last night, for the lord was now lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, not looking like he had just done anything.

After looking around, Li Chengxi turned the camera back to the castle.

This time he saw several guards carrying a stretcher. Viola seemed to be asked to keep a distance, and each of them led the way in front.

There was a black-haired pixelated man lying on the stretcher. Li Chengxi clicked on it and saw from the portrait that popped up in the lower left corner of the screen that it was Zora, the captain of the Royal Guards.

This was a female knight with soft and shiny black hair, who looked like a gentle older sister. Her chest was at least two sizes larger than Viola's, which left a deep impression on Li Chengxi.

I remember she was praying in the chapel with Viola last night. How come she has to lie on a stretcher after not seeing her for just one night?

Could it be that the lord poisoned her and wanted to eliminate the people around Viola bit by bit?

Thinking of this, Li Chengxi suddenly had the urge to flatten the lord's villa with one punch.
