Chapter 28 Square Activities
“Brother Li, do you still have the old popsicle?”
A child from the hardware store next door walked in and shouted: "What the hell is the weather? It's been raining for several days and it's so hot right away."
This boy's name is Xue Wenshu. Li Chengqi has known him for more than ten years. Basically, he has watched him grow up. His tone of conversation is no different from that of his brothers.
"There are a few left for you at the bottom of the freezer."
Li Chengqi kept staring at the computer screen, and soon heard the sound of opening the freezer door and rummaging around.
"It's cool! If it's hot, it has to be icy!"
Xue Wenshu came over with a popsicle in his mouth:
"What are you playing? You are so fascinated."
Turning the laptop over for him to see, the latter was stunned:
"Mine clearance? That's it?"
This made Li Chengqi stunned for a moment, because what he showed Xue Wenshu was AAI's game screen, not minesweeper at all.
Perhaps, in the eyes of others, it is really just minesweeper?
Based on his understanding of Xue Wenshu, this guy is an outspoken person who says whatever he sees.
Although it felt outrageous, it was outrageous enough to be able to take out things from the game. Li Chengqi was very calm and did not show it on his face. Instead, he said in a normal tone:
"Have you read Jin Yong's novels? Do you know Dugu Qiubai? What I call returning to nature, you know a hammer."
Xue Wenshu immediately showed contempt, as if to say, 'You're playing Minesweeper and you plug in the headset? ’
The principle is roughly equivalent to having a dead rat in your waist pretending to be a hunter.
"Want to try?"
"No, you can play, I'll go back to fight the king."
Throwing a one-dollar steel coin on the cash register, Xue Wenshu turned around and left.
Then I heard Li Chengqi say calmly: "It's almost four o'clock, and you're still riding out. Do you have a date? Don't come back too late, or your mother will definitely beat you."
As soon as these words came out, Xue Wenshu came back at the speed of light and lowered his voice and said:
"Brother Li, how do you know?"
"I saw it. When the store was closing yesterday, I saw you and a little girl appearing on the street. They were quite intimate and held an umbrella. Is your girlfriend?"
Xue Wenshu said coyly:
"I met you in cram school, not my girlfriend..."
"Why are you so embarrassed? It's normal for you to have a partner at your age. Besides, you're considered a late developmenter. I often see junior high school kids in pairs, and you're already in high school."
Li Chengqi stared at the screen and said without raising his head: "Normal is normal. As your brother, I have to remind you. There are some things you can do and some things you can't do. You should be able to tell them clearly. Don't make it happen then. If you're in trouble, your parents will wipe your ass."
"I know, we are very pure friends."
"Just take it as such."
"Don't tell my mother, I have to leave quickly, I'll be late in a while."
Li Chengqi waved to Xue Wenshu without raising his head, while Li Chengqi still stared at the screen.
Seeing this boy's youthful look reminded Li Chengqi of his own youthful days.
Although there were people who cared about him at that time, and there were also people who sent him love letters, Li Chengqi always solemnly refused.
Because he feels that women will only affect his game playing, and it is not as fun to play games with a girlfriend.
Think about it now.
All in all, I regret it very much.
Putting aside this, Li Chenxi moved the mouse and placed the camera on the square in the center of Leon Fortress.
At this time, a large number of civilians had gathered and a holy symbol was erected.
Well, his holy symbol.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Year 648 of the Demon King's Calendar. April 9th, noon.
In the square of Leon Fortress, several knights of the guard who had specially changed their robes were shouting passionately: "Believe in the Demon King God, He will be your savior!"
“God will heal all pain!”
"The Demon King God will protect His people from any harm!"
While shouting, he pointed to a place not far away, where soldiers were guarding him. The bandits he brought back yesterday were paraded through the streets in chains, and some of them were even lined up to be hanged.
This propaganda effect is too strong.
No matter where you are, it is human nature to watch the excitement. Especially watching bandits who threatened the safety and livelihood of his family go to the gallows greatly expanded his prestige among civilians.
Seeing more and more people gathering, Viola was very satisfied. This was a good opportunity to promote the Demon King God.
The only thing I was dissatisfied with was the holy emblem standing in the center of the square.
Because it's too small.
This is just a stone pillar that is as tall as a person. It is driven into the soil, and then a stone-carved hand-shaped holy symbol is placed on it.
According to Viola's idea, it would have to be at least a large stone sculpture over five meters tall, and it would have to be covered with flowers and tributes underneath, so that it would be barely decent.
But the mason told Viola, Your Highness, you can’t change me even if you kill my whole family...
The large stone sculptures are still being made, so I will make do with this small one for the time being.
I deliberately found a few knights with loud and pleasant voices to promote the show there. Of course, Viola didn't come to see the show.
Seeing that people were almost gathered around her, she deliberately took two steps forward and raised her hands.
The sacred aura instantly blocked the midday sun, and the surrounding civilians were surprised to find that their minor ailments had been alleviated a lot.
The knight in charge of publicity quickly struck while the iron was hot: "My Lord said, Tao can be Tao, but it is very Tao. You are worthy of encouragement if you focus on anything. No matter what your job is, you are all worthy of respect."
"Our Lord said, a name can be named, but it is very famous. It is not a permanent name, it is nameless. No one should feel inferior because of his birth. As long as he works hard to improve himself, he will be very famous one day. On the contrary, if he is willing to fall, no matter how many times he is, he will be very famous. Those of noble birth are just mediocre people.”
Let’s not complain about their understanding of the Tao Te Ching for now. The current society is a very strict feudal society.
A blacksmith's son will always be a blacksmith, and a carpenter's son will always be a carpenter, with little room for advancement.
According to the teachings promoted by the Guards Knights, everyone has a chance to get ahead, and no one needs to feel inferior because of their origin.
This may not sound like much to modern people, but to people in feudal society it may sound very explosive.
This kind of speech is not allowed in any feudal country, but Viola herself belongs to the powerful class. When the common people around her saw that the princess agreed, they were a little hesitant.
It doesn’t matter if you hesitate, you will believe it after listening to it a few times. It is impossible to succeed in preaching at one time. That is not called preaching, but brainwashing and hypnosis. You can often see this type of book on EX Gentlemen...
It's fun to watch, and you can also take care of your health, and then understand the concepts that are too explosive for today. There are more and more people in the square, the more the better.
Viola planned to preach for a few days and then stop for a few days. If someone comes to you when you stop preaching, it means you have succeeded. Repeat this process until the entire city becomes believers.
In this way, Viola can mobilize the people to help build the great temple she desires.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
"What are you untouchables doing here?"
In the crowd, several soldiers separated the crowd. Lord Leon walked over with an unhappy look on his face and saw Viola under the holy emblem at a glance.
However, no matter how unhappy Lord Leon was, he had to maintain a humble posture when facing the princess.
He quickly approached and bowed in as graceful a manner as possible:
"Your Highness the Princess..."
"Count Leon, are you also here to listen to our Lord's teachings?"
Lord Leon waved his hand back, signaling to disperse the people a little further: "Your Highness, I don't want to interfere with your missionary work, but it's hard for me to deal with you openly going against the national policy."
