Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 4 Are you short of money?

After saying "Fuck!" to each other and finishing the morning prayer, Princess Viola moved to a meeting room.

She asked her knights:
"What do you have to say about our future direction?"

It is definitely a good thing to be able to get the attention of the legendary Demon King, but you cannot ask God to handle everything for you.

It is very difficult for gods to interfere in the mortal world. If they want to achieve any goal, it is usually the priests or believers of the temple who take action. They will only take action personally when necessary.

Princess Viola believed that the Demon King must have consumed a lot of divine power when he repelled the bandits. She felt that she had received divine revelation, which was why the Demon King valued her so much.

But she must not become arrogant because of her favor. If the Demon King gets tired of her and leaves, Viola will lose her last support.

Try not to trouble God with problems that humans can solve.

With this in mind, Viola summoned more than a dozen of her most trusted knights to discuss future strategies.

All the members of Viola's Royal Guards were women, and they all came from noble or important families. At least everyone knew arithmetic and literacy, which was much better than most ordinary people. In addition to the influence of their family environment, they were not only officers and guards, but also Viola's most respected staff.

"Zora, what do you think?"

A female knight on Viola's left heard this and said:
"Your Highness, should we immediately gather people to compile the teachings of the Demon King?"

If God does not have doctrine, the spread of faith will become very difficult. This is equivalent to God's goals and responsibilities. Outsiders don't know what your God wants to do, so how can they agree with it?
"No, we can't act rashly. The existence of the Demon King has long become a legend. If we rashly compile a canon, it may cause the displeasure of the Lord."

We must be careful when dealing with the issue of God, Viola added:
"But we need to transform the audience hall into a chapel as soon as possible. This may be related to my inability to hear the holy voice of the Demon King."

If the current conditions did not allow it, Viola would have asked someone to build a big temple for her.

"I understand. Please allow me to explain the current situation."

Viola nodded slightly, and Zora coughed a few times before saying:
"First of all, the city defense. The Leon Fortress was originally built by our ancestors to explore the border of the world. Hundreds of years have passed, and the fortress has fallen into disrepair, and the city defense facilities are almost paralyzed. Although we have blown up the only canyon road in and out of the Leon territory, it is still unknown how long we can hold off the pursuers, not to mention that we may also have to deal with bandits composed of refugees from the defeated army."

Although the territory of Leon is a remote and poor place, and even though the demon kingdoms that have divided Avarus look down on this poor place, they will definitely want to capture Viola and completely eliminate any possibility of Avarus making a comeback.

"The second issue is the supply of food and medicine. We left in such a hurry, and with the consumption along the way, the food has run out, and the medicines are completely used up. Many of the wounded can only be treated with simple bandages."

"The doctor in Leon Territory should have some medicine. As for food..."

Viola thought for a moment:

"I remember that there are some villages and towns to the north of Leon Fortress on the map. We still have some gold coins with us, so we can go there to buy food and necessities. If we don't have enough money, we can sell the artworks we brought out from the palace."

"It's best not to sell the artworks, Your Highness. They are the glory and history of your family. Once you sell the artworks, it will be easy for others to target you in the Leon territory."

"I understand that it will only be considered if there is no other option."

Zora coughed and continued, "Regarding the issue of recruiting and training soldiers, I think we can postpone it. The locals are not familiar with us, and forcibly recruiting soldiers may lead to a deterioration of our reputation. This is not only disadvantageous to you, Your Highness, but also to the Demon King. Moreover, I think that the local lord, Count Leon, does not welcome our arrival. Although he lent us the castle and the army on the surface, I doubt his loyalty. He also has a very bad reputation among the local civilians in Leon Fortress. I think we must be cautious."

"I understand. The issues Zola mentioned will be our short-term goals to be solved urgently. You can raise your opinions now."

Back then, Li Chengxi was also like, "How dare you fight me? How many mothers do you have?", but now he is much more Buddhist. Anyway, he doesn't need to form a team to play together. After the headset broke, he never bought a new one.

After picking out a headset that could be delivered the fastest on an online shopping platform, Li Chengxi turned his attention back to the laptop.

At this time, the chapel was empty. Li Chengxi moved the mouse to see where everyone had gone.

When the cursor moved to the edge of the screen, the picture moved to one side. Only then did he realize that the lens was not fixed but could move freely.

The so-called "palace area" certainly could not have only one chapel. Li Chengxi moved the mouse to see the guards patrolling the castle corridors, the maids wiping the vases, and a group of knights training in the castle's inner courtyard.

By clicking on the small up and down arrows on the edge of the screen, you can also switch the floor display, and by holding down the left mouse button and turning the scroll wheel, you can zoom in and out of the screen. When it is zoomed in to the maximum, you can clearly see the details of each pixel character, and when it is zoomed in to the minimum, it is almost like opening a map. The place where it says Leon Fortress becomes a small circle in the upper left corner of the map.

It’s not Li Chengxi’s fault that he realized it late. After all, this game has no guidance for novices from the beginning, and one has to explore all the functions by himself.

Resetting the camera, Li Chengxi switched up and down the castle floors, and soon found the two-headed Q-version pixel-style Princess Viola on the floor above the chapel. He saw her sitting at a round table with a group of knights, seemingly in a meeting.

However, Li Chengxi couldn't see what they were talking about, as there was no dialog box floating above his head.

There are only two situations where there are dialog boxes. One is when Princess Viola's portrait appears, and the other is when a lot of people are shouting, such as the shouts of the bandits when they attacked the city. At that time, there will be a dialog box above the character's head.

Li Chengxi took a few glances and was a little curious about what they were talking about, so he moved the mouse and clicked on Princess Viola.

This time, a dialog box that looked like a cartoon popped up above the princess' head, and it said, "Regarding the issue of gold coins, perhaps we can ask Count Leon for help..."

A dialog box also appeared above the knight's head: "The Earl's intentions are unclear for the time being. I don't think he will easily hand over the gold coins."

Not only can the princess's conversation be seen, but the conversations of other knights at the same round table can also be seen clearly.

Li Chengxi suddenly realized that if he wanted to see the conversation, he needed to click on an NPC participating in the conversation, otherwise there would be no dialog box.

This setting is normal. After all, once there are too many NPCs on the same screen, the dialog boxes almost fill up the screen, and you have no idea who said what.

But then again...

"Gold coins? Are they short of money?"
