Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 43 Master and Servant
The 648th year of the Demon King Calendar.

April 22nd, morning.

The County of Leon.

Ten days have passed since the lord was hanged on the gallows by Her Royal Highness the Princess. Logically speaking, the disappearance of the lord in charge of an entire territory should have caused a lot of trouble.

But in fact, as soon as the lord died, the other lower-level officials immediately pledged allegiance to Her Royal Highness the Princess.

This earl ate alone and didn't even give his subordinates any soup. No wonder he was deserted by his friends and relatives. It was the same whether he was there or not.

For ordinary people, it doesn't matter at all, and they even applaud.

There was no relief in years of disaster, but taxes were still collected. When such a lord died, the common people really had no other thoughts except to feel happy.

The biggest change in the entire territory is that more people are entering and leaving the city, because Her Royal Highness the Princess has abolished the city entry tax, which has attracted many people from surrounding villages to bring agricultural products to the city to sell.

On the dirt road that had become a little more lively, two guys with different styles appeared today.

"Reina, look at this rural area, they actually use ox carts to travel."

The person who was speaking had shiny blonde hair and was wearing a flashy bubble skirt while traveling on a country road with poor infrastructure, but she was wearing a layer of breeches underneath, which was her last resort.

"Ms. Wendy, not all places can afford horses. You should be more tolerant."

“But it’s so ugly.”

This person called Reina, wearing a neatly ironed butler's uniform and smooth short light blue hair, looks like a handsome man from a distance, but when you get closer, you can see that she has slightly raised breasts and a butt that is more rounded than a man.

She was carrying a huge backpack that looked like it was going to crush her, but she didn't look tired at all when she walked and still stood straight.

Such a master and servant pair with a completely different style from the locals appearing on the road would naturally attract a lot of people's attention.

But Wendy didn't care. It was normal for common people to envy the nobles.

"Look, they actually opened up a piece of land not far from the city gate."

"The people tending the fields look like soldiers. It may be the princess' orders."

"This is too strange."

As they were talking, the master and servant walked to the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the gate also noticed that their painting styles were different from those of ordinary people.

But he didn't look like a suspicious person at all, so he was allowed in after a few simple questions.

"Oh my god, why is there a bear in the city?"

Wendy pointed her elegant cane at a bear that walked through the door. Although her tone was surprised, her eyes were shining with surprise.

"That's a druid. I remember the master said there are many tree elves in the Farthest Forest near the Lion Territory."

"Druid? That bear really won't bite anyone?"

"Probably not, but miss, please don't make an expression that suggests you want to touch me, that's impolite."

The vegetable seeds sent by Li Chengxi were all things that the locals had never heard of or seen before. The tree elf druids heard that the Demon King had bestowed them with seeds of plants they had never seen before, so they have been running to the city recently, wanting to cultivate the God-given vegetables themselves, so you can see so many druids in the city.

Even the local people gradually got used to it during these ten days. Sometimes you would see restaurant owners enthusiastically dragging a leopard towards their homes, insisting that the druids taste the newly developed vegetarian dishes.

However, the time is still short, and apart from this change, Wendy feels that it is similar to an ordinary small country town.

"Please pray sincerely, and the king will bless everyone."

When the master and servant walked to the central square, they noticed that many civilians had gathered around.

It looked like something was being built there, as scaffolding had already been put up.

In front of the scaffolding, there is a stone pillar with a palm-shaped sculpture on it.

The sound the two just heard came from under the sculpture.

This made Wendy curious, so she tiptoed over to take a look, and then she noticed the petite Shelley standing among the civilians.

She was wearing a thin robe and raised her hands:
“Let us pray together.”

Then, the surroundings were filled with shouts of "Gan!" and "Fuck!", which looked like some kind of cult ritual.

However, as everyone prayed, a layer of divine light gradually emerged above their heads and gathered into an angel-like halo. A few minutes later, the halo exploded and turned into countless spots of light that fell into the bodies of the people.

This is a ritual spell, a divine spell commonly used by priests.

It is generally used to host weddings and funerals, store openings, military expeditions, and daily prayers to attract believers.

It has a wide range of uses and has a certain effect of calming the mind and healing injuries. The more people participate and the stronger the presiding priest is, the better the effect will be.

In order to live up to the expectations of the Demon King and the Princess, Xuelin has been working very hard recently. She presided over the worship ceremony in the square in the morning and practiced sword skills behind the castle in the afternoon.

So in the morning, you will see her appearing in the square and leading people in prayer.

"There are priests in Leon Territory? Doesn't our country prohibit the spread of religion?"

"Hush, young lady, be careful about what you say about religion."

Reina was much more mature than Miss Wendy who said whatever she saw. She pulled Wendy away from the crowd and said:

"The priest who presided over the ceremony is very powerful. I guess he is a member of the Royal Guards. Maybe Her Royal Highness has her own plans. We should not say anything."

"That's right. The most urgent thing is to find His Highness first."

Wendy is a straightforward person, but she listens to advice.

The two crossed the square and soon arrived under the castle.

Entering the city was easy, but entering the castle was different.

Not only are there guards guarding this place, but the Royal Guards are also patrolling here.

Wendy took out a golden emblem with a sword and shield and showed it to the guard knight:
"I'm Wendy from the Thor family. I have an urgent matter and would like to see Princess Viola."

The Knights of the Royal Guards were mostly of noble origin, so heraldry was of course a required course, and they could recognize the ownership of a coat of arms at a glance.

"Wait a moment, I will go and inform His Highness."

Not long after, the guard knight came back:

"Your Highness is ready to see you. Please, Miss Wendy and your attendants, come this way."

Wendy was surprised to see this:

"Why don't you go in through the front door?"

"A statue of the Demon King that Your Highness ordered has just been brought in, and the workers are bringing it into the chapel. We are worried that something might happen to you when you pass by, so please take a detour."

"The Devil God? Isn't that a legend?"

“It was a legend, but it’s not anymore.”

Wendy was about to ask further questions when she saw a group of children in their teens practicing in the training ground in the castle's inner courtyard.

"I win again!"

Lilia took a wooden sword and knocked down her opponent, a boy of similar age, and jumped for joy.

"It's not over yet! I've only done half of the work!"

"Then let's do it again!"

Noticing Wendy's gaze, the Royal Guard Knight explained:

"Those are children from nearby villages. Your Highness has decided to gather the children who are willing to be trained and train them into knights."

Wendy, who had always looked at Leon with a critical eye, said something out of character this time:
"Your Highness did the right thing. You should provide the children with a path to advancement."

Because Thor's family was originally farmers, but later became knights by chance, and then were canonized as nobles because of their military achievements.

As the daughter of the Thor family, Wendy of course identifies very well with this.

Wait until you bypass the training ground and enter the castle through the back door.

In the conference room on the second floor, Wendy finally met the Princess Viola she had been longing for.
