Chapter 68 I'll be back soon

Year 648 of the Demon King's Calendar.

May 2nd, morning.

The drizzle lasted for half the night, and the early morning mist enveloped the sea, smoothing over everything that happened last night.

The sea was calm again, but not the shore.

Soldiers are busy packing up fortifications, and fishing boats are also busy going out to sea to search for traces of survivors on the sea. This work has continued all night.

Viola sent a ship to retrieve people. This has nothing to do with humanitarian spirit, but has something to do with labor force...

The entire Leon territory is undergoing infrastructure construction everywhere, and Viola wants to turn the knowledge she heard from the Demon King into tangible products.

In this era, people are the productive force. Capturing prisoners of war and using them for free is a pretty good deal.

In the city, residents walked out of their homes at dawn and spontaneously gathered in the square to pray.

Although Leon Fortress is several kilometers away from the seaside, the movement last night was still noticed by the residents, and it once caused a lot of panic.

For this reason, after Viola returned to the city, she specially sent people to publicize that it was the Demon King who defeated the invading enemies, and it took until midnight to persuade everyone to go home.

As a result, the people became more religious...

The post-war processing was busy all night, but Viola was already in high spirits, even a little radiant.

As usual, she led the knights of the guard into the chapel to prepare for today's morning prayers.

But the slight difference is that there are two more people today.

One is Wendy.

"Although I have read the scriptures of the Demon King and God before and agree with what the scriptures say, it was not until last night that I truly felt the power of God."

Wendy sighed a little and said:

"That power... is so beautiful, so powerful, and so spectacular that I can't describe it in any words."

Viola understood Wendy's state very well. She was like herself getting in touch with the Demon King for the first time, with great excitement.

As for the other one, it’s naturally Aldée.

Compared to Wendy who has become a fan girl, Aldai still has a very cold expression.

“I’m more interested, please include me in prayer.”

This is exactly the problem.

Aldai's extremely high research spirit and curiosity allowed her to become a high-level mage at a young age, and she had a very high status in the academic city.

But the side effect of this research spirit is that there is no consideration of the consequences.

Viola is really worried that she will offend the gods...

However, before Aldai came, she swore repeatedly that she would never do anything that would displease the Demon King. Only then did Viola let her into the chapel with some hesitation.

The time was almost up, and the meal prepared to be dedicated to the Demon King was also pushed over by the dining cart.

"You stay with me and don't wander around."

Viola decided to ask Aldai to pray next to her, so that at least she could find out if there was any problem at the first time.

Of course Aldai nodded indifferently and followed Viola to the front of the prayer line.

At this time, the two knights of the Guards had already lifted the dinner plate from the dining car and placed it on the altar.

As usual, Viola took the lead and knelt down on one knee in front of the holy symbol, clasping her hands together in preparation for prayer.

But at this time, there was a cry of surprise from the knights behind.

Viola turned around and saw Aldai taking off her robe in front of the holy symbol.

"Why are you taking off your clothes?"

Aldai, who had already stripped herself naked, showed doubts in her eyes:

"Shouldn't all sacrifices to the Demon King be done in the nude to be in line with the etiquette? According to the archaeological research of Academic City, only women were allowed to participate in the prayer ceremony at that time, and they were not allowed to wear clothes when praying."

"No, then why are you not even wearing underwear?"

"I just think that since I have to take off my clothes anyway, it would be most efficient if I didn't wear anything underneath."

"No such thing!"

Viola quickly picked up the clothes and put them on Aldai:

"We never took off our clothes when we prayed, it was just normal prayers."

"Yeah?"

Aldai thought for a while:

"Is the archaeological research in the academic city wrong again? I thought the licentious Demon King God would demand this from his followers."

"Not at all!"

Because I stayed up late, my already unstable blood pressure soared.

Viola was already beginning to regret letting Aldai in.

However, Aldai did not force it. It is normal to make academic mistakes, and practice is the most important thing. Since Viola and the others had never taken off their clothes when praying, Aldai obediently put her robe back on.

Viola, whose blood pressure soared, watched Aldai kneel down this time and corrected her posture to see if it was standard. Then she faced the Holy Emblem again, calmed down her excitement and prayed again.

At this time, it was almost the same as usual. The dinner plate placed on the altar slowly floated and emitted a strong divine light.

Then the light group collapsed into a small point and disappeared completely.

Usually in the afternoon, the dinner plates will be cleaned and returned.

Just when Viola thought that this time the prayer would be as uneventful as usual, Zora poked her gently from behind.

"Your Highness, Miss Aldai..."

Viola immediately opened her eyes and heard Zola continue:

"Miss Alday is missing."

“…..”

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Today is a rare good day. After the heavy rain a few days ago, the temperature has finally cooled down a lot. Li Chengqi, who is sitting behind the cashier, doesn't even need to turn on the air conditioner.

As usual, he looked at the conditions in the fields outside the city, then moved the camera to look at the seaside. Then he noticed that time was almost up, so he moved the scene to the chapel in the castle.

The knight of the guard was pushing the dining cart as usual, and then Li Chengqi remembered that he should tell Viola that there was no need to prepare meals in the future.

After all, the small restaurant next door will open for business tomorrow, and Li Chengqi's food level has returned to normal.

He originally wanted to tell her two days ago, but because he learned that a fleet was heading to Leon's territory, Li Chengqi forgot about it.

Anyway, it's not too late to say it now.

As soon as he plugged in the headset, Li Chengqi saw the red-haired two-headed Q-version villain on the screen leading another blue-haired villain to the bottom of the holy emblem.

He thought for a while, this should be Viola's mage cousin who just arrived in Leon's territory two days ago, the one with the same level as White Dragon.

Seeing her walking into the chapel, Li Chengqi even thought proudly that his operation last night must have been too eye-catching, and people who were not believers were affected by this and became believers.

Although that operation cost more than 3,000 faith points, the benefits brought by the comparison were completely worth it.

When Li Chengqi was feeling proud, the next second he saw the blue-haired little man take off his clothes and throw them aside, and he seemed to be wearing nothing under the robe...

To be honest, with the pixel-style biceps, even if you strip off and dance breakdancing, you don’t need to code to be on the children’s channel.

Li Chengqi felt confused. What kind of operation was this?

Fortunately, Li Chengqi was not the only one who was confused by this person's operation. Viola quickly put the clothes back on her and instructed the other party how to pray to the Holy Emblem.

"This person seems to be named Aldai, right?"

Will people with high levels have weird personalities?

Li Chengqi couldn't figure it out, so he just thought he was a weirdo.

Then he enlarged the screen and placed most of the screen on the altar.

As usual, he took out the HDMI cable and connected it to the monitor with a larger screen.

Everyone has prepared the meals, so let’s just take today’s portion and tell Viola not to prepare it tomorrow.

As usual, Li Chengqi reached into the monitor, grabbed the edge of the dinner plate, and took the dinner plate out.

But today’s dinner plate seems a little heavier than usual for some reason.

Could it be that because of the victory in the battle, the chef added ingredients?

Li Chengqi didn't think much about it. He pulled the dinner plate out of the screen. Since the dinner cover blocked his view, he had to lift the dinner plate completely to take it out completely.

With this move, he saw two white arms grasping the other end of the dinner plate. As the dinner plate was raised, a delicate but expressionless face appeared in front of him.

As if she had no weight, her slender body was gently pulled out of the screen, floating slightly in the air as she lifted the dinner plate, and finally fell on Li Chengqi's lap like a fallen leaf.

Li Chengqi, on the other hand, froze in his seat, maintaining the action of raising the dinner plate with both hands, and looking into the pair of silver-blue pupils.

For a moment, he had the illusion that his consciousness had been sucked in...
