Idle game leads to another world
Chapter 128 Shadow
On the other side, Li Chengxi held up a barbecue skewer and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the pixelated centipede on the screen was dead.
This time it was really dangerous. Li Chengxi had never expected that his direct interference could be blocked, and even blocked his contact with Viola.
The player plays the role of the Demon King God in the game, but there are more gods in the game than just the player.
From this perspective, it is not surprising that others can block your operation.
To use an inappropriate analogy, it is like when you play the PFS game and the opponent throws a high flash, and you hear footsteps and gunshots.
At this time, you either turn around and shoot randomly, or take your hands off the keyboard and wait for the next game.
Li Chengxi had never encountered such a thing before, largely because Viola had never encountered other gods' believers before, especially those with strong hostility.
Hearing Alde say that gods rarely interfere directly in the mortal world, Li Chengxi also thought that the Demon King God played by the player was Liupi, and he had personally interfered many times in a literal sense.
It wasn't until today that he understood why, because if you want to interfere, other gods will obstruct you.
When Li Chengxi tried to press the assassin with his fingers, he was blocked by the power of the Lord of Centipedes, but the fact that it didn't work didn't mean that it didn't consume anything. It was equivalent to wasting faith points in vain without getting anything done.
Fortunately, he had the second Demon King's Ring, which unlocked the ability of "miracle" and directly infused Viola with divine power, otherwise his number one believer would have died on the spot.
Having said that, divine power in Viola's hands can not only be used for attack and defense, but also for treatment. This was something Li Chengxi didn't expect.
He just saw through the character panel that Lord Walter was parasitized, and the word "transformation" was written next to the name of Lux, the internal affairs officer behind the lord, and then notified Viola about it.
Li Chengxi was also surprised when she punched him, and what was even more surprising was that she could actually use this very physical method to drive away insects. Li Chengxi was just thinking about whether to go out to the pharmacy in the middle of the night to buy some anthelmintics.
But then again, why would the Lord of Centipedes deal with Viola?
To be honest, this is the first time Li Chengxi has seen this name. If it is the Plague Goddess who has been slapped by him, it is reasonable for her to come and take revenge.
For example, if I can't find the Demon God to take revenge, can't I find the Demon God's believers?
But Li Chengxi has never come into contact with the Lord of Centipedes. Could it be that this dog coin is an ally of the Plague Goddess, and he came to take revenge when he saw his ally being beaten?
For example, this matter has nothing to do with the Plague Goddess. The Lord of Centipedes is like Li Chengxi, who is protecting a certain Demon Kingdom. He thinks that Viola's survival will affect the invasion, so it seems reasonable to come and deal with her.
But Viola's coming to Qihang City was a temporary decision. There were only a few days of preparation time. If she made a temporary decision, could she really prepare a way to isolate the Demon God from interfering?
I remember that Orde told Li Chengxi several times that the Demon God was the most powerful god. Would the Lord of Centipedes really want to provoke a powerful enemy for no reason?
From the perspective of interests, it doesn't make sense.
Or maybe the existence of the Demon King is a huge threat to other gods, so regardless of grudges or interests, they just want to prevent the Demon King from becoming too powerful?
It seems that there is a problem. There are druids who believe in the goddess of the spring in Chunguang Forest, but the goddess of the spring has not issued an oracle saying that the Demon King must die.
It feels like being beaten for no reason, and I don't know why.
Li Chengxi scratched his head and decided to put this matter aside for the time being. He had to take a good look at whether there were any problems with other people in the castle. If it happened again, he couldn't stand it.
–--——---——
Someone assassinated the princess. Of course, such a big thing can't be left alone. Everyone in the castle, including the guests in the banquet hall who were confused and didn't know what happened, had to go through a sieve to confirm that there was no problem.
With such a big thing, the banquet could not be held. The inspection lasted until midnight, and the guests were confirmed to be okay before they were let go.
"Come in."
Walter was sitting in the office looking at documents, rubbing his stomach from time to time. When he heard the knock on the door, he signaled the person outside to come in.
The person who entered the office was not an outsider, but Walter's daughter Wendy.
"Father, are you feeling better?"
"Ah, much better. Your Highness's punch reminded me of the time when I was trained by your grandfather when I was a child."
Wendy chuckled and sat on the sofa opposite Walter.
When the incident happened, Wendy and Rena were still entertaining guests in the banquet hall and had no idea what happened. Otherwise, with her housekeeper Rena's combat power of level 37, she would have been able to stop the centipede from running away.
"The servants and soldiers in the castle have been screened almost completely. No traces of deformed creatures were found, but two spies were found."
"They are the maids in charge of tea."
"So you knew about this?"
"They were kept here on purpose so that they could pass on some false information to the outside world."
"They are still being interrogated, but it seems that they have nothing to do with this incident."
"Yes, if they were related, they would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?"
Walter shook his head:
"Although there should be no need to worry about any means on the battlefield, from my understanding of the Kingdom Tiger, he doesn't like to use insidious methods such as assassination, which may have nothing to do with the Subia Demon Kingdom."
"You have a high opinion of the enemy."
"Your grandfather has a high opinion of his old opponent. I hear it every day and my ears are almost calloused."
Although the battlefield is cruel, it is also a place where heroes appreciate heroes. The more powerful the enemy, the higher the opinion of his opponent, rather than simply belittling him.
"But I never thought that Lux, the internal affairs officer who has worked in the castle for ten years, is actually a transgender creature."
"The mages checked the barrier under the castle and found that the barrier had been tampered with. Its effect was weakened, so the deformed creatures were allowed to sneak in."
The fangs of the Centipede Lord are a special kind of deformed creature. They will eat the victim empty, and then drill in to manipulate the victim's body to disguise themselves.
In addition, the barrier was tampered with, so they could sneak into the castle.
Wendy guessed that the transgender creature might have bribed Lux's internal affairs officer to tamper with the barrier, then ate him and disguised himself as him.
As for when he was replaced, it is unknown. It may be recently or a long time ago.
It is even possible that from the beginning, Lux's internal affairs officer was a chess piece destined to be abandoned.
Wendy was not guessing randomly. She put a document on Walter's desk.
"I just checked the files and found that Lux's internal affairs officer had a wrong spelling when filling in his birthplace. This simple mistake should not appear in a civilian staff member in charge of the castle's internal affairs."
Walter looked at the wrong spelling marked with a red circle and thought:
"This kind of spelling error is not like something that people in our country would make. It's more like someone from the Oswaya Demon Kingdom."
This is the farthest demon kingdom from the Avarus Demon Kingdom and one of the few neutral demon kingdoms in this war.
If Lux's internal affairs officer is a spy sent by the Oswaya Demon Kingdom, then what is the connection between this country and the Lord of Centipedes?
"Father, who sent Lux, the internal affairs officer?"
"Of course it was your grandfather..."
Walter was stunned for a moment:
"No, it should be sent by the royal family. Ten years ago, you and your grandfather were still living in the capital."
"Yes, grandpa should not know about this, but it is very abnormal for the royal family to interfere in the internal affairs of a regional lord."
"Wendy, what do you want to say?"
"Grandpa once mentioned to me that there is an unknown force lurking under the royal power in this world, manipulating the change of royal power. Grandpa has no evidence, just a feeling."
Wendy sat back on the sofa, holding her cane in her arms and thinking:
"What if it is not an illusion, and there really is something like a shadow?"
