Chapter 7: The Oracle
The faith value, which is always displayed on the left side of the screen, should be a very important thing. The Demon God, that is, the player, has to consume this data if he wants to interfere with anything in the game.

But the number was growing very slowly. When I saw Viola leading people in prayer in the morning, it was growing a little bit, but now it has stopped completely.

Regretfully giving up on grabbing the black thong from the screen, Li Chengxi had another idea.

Since I can see Viola's data, can I also see the data of other NPCs?
Worth a try!
Li Chengxi immediately moved the mouse and right-clicked on a knight on the left side of Viola, and sure enough, the same drop-down menu popped up.

The name of this female knight is 'Zora. Pat', she is also seventeen years old, her level is also 25, and her title is 'Captain of the Royal Guards Knights'.

The ability column was similar to Viola's. Li Chengxi glanced at it and closed it, but the piety and favorability columns were 70 and 50 respectively.

Suddenly feeling the pleasure of peeping into other people's lives, Li Chengxi not only opened the character interfaces of all the female knights in the conference room one by one, but also moved the camera to see the attributes of the guards, maids, and passers-by in the city outside.

This made him realize that the character who could add divine spells must have a piety level higher than 70, otherwise it would indicate that the piety level was insufficient.

As for favorability, I haven't found any use for it yet.

In other words, as long as the piety level meets the requirements and Li Chengxi has enough faith value, he can quickly grant divine powers to believers.

As expected of a game that sets players as gods, the operation is indeed very god-like.

By the way, when checking the equipment, Li Chengxi was surprised to find that the members of the Royal Guards Knights were very fancy. The underwear styles were eye-opening for Li Chengxi, who had been a soloist since birth...

Let’s not talk about this yet.

After taking a look around, Li Chengxi clicked on Viola again and chose to talk in the drop-down menu.

This time, Viola's portrait appeared in the lower left corner of the screen, and a small dialog box popped up.

Li Chengxi picked up the headset and said:
"can you hear me?"

Viola in the screen was sitting at a round table in a meeting. Before Li Chengxi finished speaking, a two-headed pixelated man stood up from the chair.

There is a response, it seems that it can hear!

–‐‐——–‐‐——

"Regarding the repair of the city wall, there are not enough craftsmen, and the raw materials are also quite urgent. Fortunately, there is the Rumuru Forest outside the city, so the demand for wood can be met, but the stone materials are more troublesome."

It is not difficult to obtain stones. There are mountains right outside the city of Leon and there are plenty of stones.

The difficulty lies in the fact that mining and transportation require a large number of manpower, and it is now the beginning of spring, and growing food also requires manpower. Once the laborers are conscripted to dig stones, no one will farm at this important time, and the food problem will become more serious.

After listening to Zora's report, Viola also felt a headache.

It would be great if the remnants of the army she brought could help, but they were all injured and needed time to recuperate.

However, war waits for no one, and the sooner the fortifications are repaired, the safer they will be.

After thinking for a moment, Viola said:

"Let's prioritize farming. We are outsiders to the locals, and forcibly conscripting them would cause considerable resentment. After this busy farming season is over and our soldiers have recovered, we should be able to free up manpower to deal with fortification issues. However, we need to send out more scouts in the near future, just in case."

The knights nodded one after another. This was the best way to deal with the situation at the moment.

Zora said:
"Your Highness, it is almost time for evening prayers."

Generally, there are two prayers, namely morning prayer and evening prayer, which are at 6:7-5:6 in the morning when the sun rises, and at :-: in the afternoon when the sun sets.

Unless a certain god has special requirements, this rule is basically maintained.

Viola, who had been busy all day, nodded, it was indeed almost time.

Just as she was about to stand up, suddenly, a voice sounded in her heart:
'Can you hear me?'

This voice seemed to come from the end of the world, and it had a strong "fat tone", which sounded particularly majestic. Viola immediately stood up in surprise:
"Your Majesty?"

The knights sitting around the round table were stunned and looked at Viola.

"It's the Lord of Demons who is talking to me. Be quiet."

The knights immediately fell silent, and some of them clasped their hands together and prayed.

Viola could be seen nodding slightly, as if she was listening to someone, and then she said to everyone:
"Come with me, your Majesty, let us go to the chapel."

Everyone immediately stood up and left the meeting room, going downstairs to the chapel which was originally the audience hall.

In addition to holding meetings and visiting local areas to check on the situation, Viola also did not forget to hire craftsmen to renovate the audience hall.

The throne originally placed at the end was removed and replaced by a platform specially made by a carpenter. On the platform was a clay slab as the holy emblem, with the handprint tilted to show to the people kneeling below.

Since there is only one day, the transformation can only be done to this extent. At least it is better than praying to the throne.

Viola immediately knelt down in front of the holy emblem, clasped her hands together in prayer, and the other knights knelt behind Viola.

"Your Majesty, your followers and servant Viola have come to the chapel in compliance with your orders. Please give us your instructions."

Viola did not hear the majestic voice immediately, but she heard a series of crisp crackling sounds.

She didn't know what was going on, so she could only kneel there obediently, close her eyes and try to listen to the voice of the Demon God.

"Your Highness! Your hand!"

Hearing Zora's voice, Viola opened her eyes, and her hands, with their fingers clasped together, now glowed with a warm light like the sun.

Viola let go of her hand in surprise, and at that moment, a large ball of light rose in her palm.

The light illuminated the dim chapel and also shone on each knight who followed behind to pray.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, Your Highness. My wound doesn't hurt anymore!"

Someone immediately shouted in surprise.

These knight guards all suffered some injuries when they escaped from the capital. Only those with serious injuries would be given medicine, while those with less serious injuries would just be wrapped up with cloth strips.

Under the illumination of the holy light, the knights untied the bandages on their arms and legs. Under their gazes, wounds, big or small, healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The coagulated blood fell to the ground without leaving even a scar.

"Divine arts, this is divine arts! Your Highness, the Demon Lord has recognized you! He has granted you divine arts!"

"Let us praise the gift of the Demon Lord!"

Holding the holy light in both hands, Viola suppressed the ecstasy in her heart and put on a serious expression as much as possible:

"Gan!"

The knights responded:

"Gan!"

"Praise the Demon Lord!"

"Gan!"

The sound once again startled the pigeon that landed on the roof. Perhaps it felt that building a nest here was not a good choice, so it immediately flew away without looking back.

It's not an illusion, the style of this religion is indeed getting weirder and weirder...
