Chapter 4 Are you short of money?

Say to each other ‘Gan! ’ After finishing her morning prayers, Princess Viola moved to a conference room.

She asked her knights:

"What do you have to say about our future direction?"

It's definitely a good thing to get the attention of the legendary Demon King God, but you can't just ask God and worship Buddha to handle everything.

It is very difficult for an existence like a god to interfere in the mortal world. Whatever purpose it wants to achieve is usually done by the priests or believers of the temple, and will only take action personally when necessary.

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

But you can't be arrogant because of your favor. If the Demon King gets tired of it and walks away, Viola will lose her last support.

For problems that humans can solve, try not to trouble God.

With this idea in mind, Viola summoned more than a dozen of the most respected knights to discuss future strategies.

All members of Viola's Knight Guards are female, and they all come from noble or important ministers' families. At least everyone knows arithmetic and literacy, which is much better than most ordinary people. Coupled with the influence of their family environment, they are not only officers and guards, but also Viola's most valued 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 has no doctrine, it will be very difficult to spread faith. This is equivalent to God’s goals and responsibilities. If outsiders don’t know what your God wants to do, how can they agree with it?

"No, we can't act rashly. The existence of the Demon King and God has long been turned into a legend. If we rashly compile the canon, it may cause your Majesty's displeasure."

Questions about God must be treated with caution, Viola added:

"But the transformation of the audience hall into a chapel must be done as soon as possible. My inability to hear the holy voice of the Demon King clearly may be related to this."

If the current conditions were not really prohibitive, Viola would have asked someone to build a large temple.

"I understand, then, please allow me to explain the current situation."

Viola tilted her head slightly, Zola coughed slightly and said:

"The first is city defense. The Leon Fortress was originally a fortress built by predecessors to explore where the world's border was. Hundreds of years have passed. The fortress has been in disrepair and the city defense facilities have almost been paralyzed. Although we escaped by this time, it had been blown up. It is the only canyon road leading in and out of Leon's territory, but it is still unknown how long it can hold off the pursuers, not to mention that it may also have to deal with bandits composed of defeated troops and refugees. "

Although the Leon Territory is a remote area, and even though the Demon Kingdoms that have carved up Avarus look down on this poor place, they will definitely want to capture Viola back and completely eliminate any chance of Avarus making a comeback. possible.

"Secondly, there are supply issues such as food and medicine. We left in such a hurry, and with the consumption along the way, the food has reached the bottom, and the medicines have been completely exhausted. Many of the wounded can only use bandages to treat their wounds."

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

Viola thought for a while:

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

"It's best not to sell the art, Your Highness. Those are the glory and history of your family, and once the art is sold, it will be easy for someone to lock you in the Leon territory."

"I understand that it will only be considered if there are no other options."

Zola coughed lightly and continued:

"I think the issue of recruitment and training of soldiers can be postponed for a while. The locals are not familiar with us. Forcibly recruiting soldiers may also lead to a deterioration in reputation. This is not only detrimental to your highness, but also to the Demon King and God. Moreover, I believe that, The local lord, Count Leon, did not welcome our arrival. Although he ostensibly lent us the castle and army, I doubt his loyalty. He also has a very bad reputation among the local civilians in Leon Fortress. I think It must be treated with caution.”

"I understand. The problems Zola mentioned will be our urgent short-term goals to be solved. If you have any opinions, you can put them forward now."

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Back then, Li Chengqi was like, "If you dare to confront me, how many mothers do you have?" ’, but now he has become more Buddhist. Anyway, he has no need to form a group to play black games. After the headset broke, he never bought a new one.

After choosing a headset that could be delivered as quickly as possible on the online shopping platform, Li Chengqi turned his attention to the laptop again.

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

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

Of course, the so-called 'palace area' cannot have only one chapel. Li Chengqi used the mouse movement to see the guards patrolling the corridors of the castle, the maids cleaning vases, and a group of knights training in the inner courtyard of the castle.

By clicking on the small up and down arrows on the edge of the screen, you can also switch the floor display, and when you hold down the left mouse button and turn the wheel, you can zoom in and out. When you zoom it to the maximum, you can clearly see the details of every pixel of the character. , when it is shrunk to the minimum, it is almost like opening the map. The place where Fortress of Leon is written 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 novice guide from the beginning, and all functions must be explored by yourself.

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. She and a group of knights sat at a round table, seemingly in a meeting.

However, Li Chengxi couldn't see what they were talking about, and there was no dialog box floating above their heads.

There are only two situations where there are dialog boxes. One is when Princess Viola's portrait appears, and the other is when many people shout, such as the shouts of the robbers when they attacked the city before. At that time, there was 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 Princess Viola.

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

A dialog box also floated above the knight next to her: "The Count's intention is currently unclear, and I don't think he will easily take out the gold coins."

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

Li Chengxi suddenly realized that if he wanted to see the conversation, he needed to click on a certain 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 box almost fills the screen, and it is impossible to know who said what.

But then again...

"Gold coins? Are they short of money?"
