Chapter 43 Master and Servant
Demon King Calendar 648.
April 22, morning.
Earl of Leon.
It has been ten days since the lord was hanged on the gallows by Her Royal Highness Princess. It stands to reason that the disappearance of the lord in charge of the entire territory should cause a lot of trouble.
But in fact, as soon as the lord died, other subordinates quickly pledged allegiance to Her Royal Highness Princess.
This earl ate alone and didn't give his subordinates any soup. No wonder he was so easily deserted by his friends and relatives. It was the same with him or without him.
For the common people, it didn't matter, and they even applauded.
There was no relief in the disaster year, and taxes were still collected. The common people really had no other thoughts except to be happy when the lord died.
The biggest change in the entire territory was that more people entered and left the city, because Her Royal Highness Princess cancelled the entry tax, which attracted many people from surrounding villages to bring agricultural products to the city to sell.
On the dirt road that became a little more lively, two guys with different styles appeared today.
"Reina, look at this country, they actually use ox carts to travel."
The person who spoke had shiny blonde hair. She was walking on a country road with poor infrastructure, but she was wearing a flashy bubble skirt, but she wore a layer of breeches inside, which was her last insistence.
"Miss Wendy, not all places can afford horses, you should be more tolerant."
"But it's too ugly."
The person called Reina, wearing a well-ironed butler's uniform and smooth light blue short hair, looked like a handsome man from a distance, but if you get closer, you will find that she has slightly bulging breasts and a more rounded buttocks than men.
She was carrying a large backpack, which looked like it was going to crush her, but she was not tired at all when she walked, and she still stood straight.
Such a master and servant who were completely different from the locals appeared on the road, which naturally attracted a lot of people's attention.
But Wendy didn't care, it was right for the common people to envy the nobles.
"Look, they actually opened a piece of land not far from the city gate."
"The people taking care of the fields look like soldiers. It might be the princess' order."
"This is too strange."
As they talked, the master and servant walked to the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the gate also found that their styles were different from those of ordinary people.
However, they didn't look suspicious at all, so they were allowed in after a simple questioning.
"Oh my God, how could there be a bear in the city?"
Wendy pointed at a bear that walked into the gate with her exquisite cane. Although she was surprised, her eyes flashed with surprise.
"That's a druid. Remember the master said there are many tree elves in the Farthest Forest near the Leon territory."
"Druid? Does that bear really not bite people?"
"It shouldn't, but Miss, please don't make an expression that you want to touch it, that's impolite."
The vegetable seeds sent by Li Chengxi were all unheard of and unseen by the locals. The tree elf druids heard that the Demon King God had given them plant seeds that they had never seen before, so they have been running to the city recently, with the idea of cultivating the God-given vegetables by themselves, so there are many druids in the city.
Even the local people have gradually gotten used to it in these ten days. Sometimes you can see the restaurant owner enthusiastically dragging a leopard to his home, insisting that the druid taste the newly researched vegetarian dishes.
But the time is still short. Apart from this change, Wendy thinks it is similar to an ordinary 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 gathered around.
It seemed that something was being built there, and the scaffolding had been built.
In front of the scaffolding, there was a stone pillar with a palm-shaped sculpture on it.
The sound they had just heard came from under the sculpture.
This made Wendy curious, so she tiptoed over to take a look, and then she noticed that the petite Shelley was standing among the civilians.
She was wearing a thin robe, with her hands raised flat:
"Let's pray together."
Then the surroundings rang out in unison, "Gan!" and "Cao!", which looked like some cult ritual.
However, as everyone prayed, a layer of divine light gradually emerged above everyone's heads and gathered into an angel-like halo.
Until a few minutes later, the halo exploded, turning into countless spots of light and falling into the bodies of the people.
This is a ritual technique, a divine technique commonly used by priests.
It is usually used to host weddings and funerals, store openings, military expeditions, and daily prayers to recruit believers.
It has a wide range of uses and has a certain effect of calming the spirit and healing injuries. The more people participate and the stronger the priest presiding, the better the effect.
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 swordsmanship behind the castle in the afternoon.
So in the morning, you will see her appearing in the square and leading the people to pray together.
"There are priests in the Leon territory? Doesn't our country prohibit the spread of religion?"
"Shh, Miss, be careful about religious beliefs."
Reina is much more mature than Miss Wendy, who says whatever she sees. She pulled Wendy away from the crowd and said:
"The priest presiding over the ceremony is very strong. I guess he is a member of the guards. Maybe Her Royal Highness has her own plan, and we shouldn't say too much."
"That's right, the most urgent thing is to find His Royal Highness first."
Wendy is a straightforward person, but she listens to advice very well.
The two crossed the square and soon came to the bottom of the castle.
Entering the city is easy, but entering the castle is different.
Not only are there guards guarding the place, but knights of the Guards are also patrolling here.
Wendy took out a golden coat of arms with a sword and shield symbol and showed it to the guard knight guarding the door:
"I am Wendy from the Thor family. I have something urgent and I hope to see Her Royal Highness Princess Viola."
The knights of the Guards were all from noble families, so heraldry was of course a compulsory course, and one could easily recognize the coat of arms at a glance.
"Wait a moment, I will inform His Highness."
Not long after, the Guards Knight came back:
"Your Highness is ready to see you. Please ask Miss Wendy and your entourage to come this way."
Wendy saw this and said strangely:
"Why don't you go in through the front door?"
"A statue of the Demon King customized by His Highness has just been transported in. Workers are bringing it into the chapel. We are worried that there may be an accident when you pass by, so please take a detour."
"Demon King God? Isn't that a legend?"
"Originally it was a legend, but it's not anymore."
Wendy was about to ask more questions when she saw a group of teenage children practicing in the training ground in the inner courtyard of the castle.
"I win again!"
Lilia held a wooden sword and knocked down her opponent, a boy of about the same age, and jumped up happily.
"It's not over yet! I only gave half of my effort!"
"Then let's do it again!"
Noticing Wendy's gaze, the knight of the guard explained:
"Those are children from nearby villages. His Highness decided to gather the children who volunteered to be trained and train them into knights."
Wendy, who has always looked at Leon collar with a critical eye, said uncharacteristically this time:
"Your Highness is right. Children should be given a path to promotion."
Because the Thor family were originally farmers, but later became knights by chance, and then were canonized as nobles for their military exploits.
As the daughter of the Thor family, Wendy certainly agrees with this.
Wait around the training ground and enter the castle through the back door.
In the conference room on the second floor, Wendy finally met Princess Viola, whom she longed for.
