Chapter 288 Then dedicate it to your Majesty
The establishment of the temple has largely made up for the lack of religious facilities in the Leon territory. Since the vast majority of people have become believers, relying solely on the huge holy symbol in the square is no longer enough.
The current style of painting is to pray at home during the day, pray in the square when you have time, and pray in the temple on holidays. You can choose from three styles.
The completion of the temple is also the biggest event in Leon's territory at present. Viola is actually a little grateful that the Demon King God gave him face. If he didn't respond, Viola thought it was because he was not satisfied with the scale of the temple.
However, Viola will not stay in the temple. Currently, the knights of the guard work as priests in the temple, leading prayers and hearing confessions.
On the one hand, for safety reasons, Viola could not afford to lose anything. On the other hand, Viola really had no time, and she had to free up her hands to plan a counterattack.
Sighing deeply, Viola looked at Aldai who was drinking tea next to her:
"So, can we tell you what kind of trouble you got into now?"
Someone was manipulating the change of kingship behind the scenes, and was even working secretly to prevent the return of the Demon King and God. Viola was not informed about this.
After all, it’s not 100% certain yet. Everything is just a reasonable guess. There is no need to create panic. And Viola only needs to think about restoring the country for the time being, and other things can be left alone.
"I told you, I just got into trouble with a bunch of guys who are not easy to mess with. They are jealous of my research."
This reason is indeed very convincing. Because of Aldai's fucking research spirit, she has caused too many things since she was a child.
But Viola didn't believe it.
The reason for disbelief is not logic, but feeling.
Because she was so familiar with Aldai, Viola instinctively felt that she was lying.
"How's Nemea doing?"
"I asked her to join the reconnaissance force, and she is said to be doing well."
The military is one of the few places that does not discriminate against tieflings, or in other words, there is relatively little discrimination. Although they do not earn as much as adventurers, they are worse than having stable and safe jobs.
Nemea followed Aldai to Leon's territory and adapted to life here in a few days. She even feels that her experience serving in the military will help her continue her activities as an adventurer in the future.
"Even an innocent adventurer was involved. Who did you offend?"
"It's nothing, I just accidentally ruined the financial owner's good deeds... Is my father's work okay?"
"It really helps me a lot that my uncle can come."
Grand Duke Weiss served as Minister of Economic Affairs when he was young, and had personally visited the battlefield several times. Although he was not very good at strategizing, he fought extremely bravely.
Now that he is older, his body is not allowed to go to the battlefield anymore, but his experience in domestic affairs has not been lost. Viola has given him all the clerical work in Leon's territory. In the future, Viola will need to lead troops to leave the Leon Territory, and the place will be temporarily handed over to him for management, not only out of trust in Grand Duke Weiss' ability, but also because it is safer to work as a civilian in the rear.
Viola no longer wants to see any of her relatives die.
"How are you preparing for the counterattack?"
"The only problem is that the ordnance is not enough, but Qihang City said it would provide some."
As the time progresses into September, large-scale harvesting of grain has begun. Thanks to the support of fertilizers, this year's grain production far exceeded historical data, and a large number of new crops also ushered in a bumper harvest.
The harvest of rapeseed greatly improved the problem of insufficient cooking oil, and the grains were quickly ground into powder by windmills.
The problem of raw materials has been solved, and the efficiency of using water wheels to make compressed biscuits has naturally increased.
In addition, Rome cement factory, paper mill, and grease processing plant have also been put into operation. However, since the workers are all part-time farmers, it is impossible to abandon the land and work in factories. The current output of products is insufficient and can only be supplied to the territory of Leon, which is not up to the level of foreign trade.
This is enough. Viola hopes to turn Leon's territory into a rear area and use it as a center to deliver new crops and technology to the liberated lands.
"Has the counterattack date been set? Remember to call me then. I can also help."
"I will definitely ask you to help, but..."
Viola glanced at Aldai sideways:
"Don't ask any random questions to change the subject."
“…..”
"Are you still hiding something from me?" "No..."
"You always look down when you feel guilty, don't think I don't know."
"Forehead……"
"Wait a minute, does what you are hiding from me have to do with your Majesty?"
"It has something to do with it, okay."
Aldee reluctantly took out a box from the magic bag, and Viola opened it. Inside was a golden ring inlaid with moonstone.
"Could this be..."
"The Demon King's Ring."
"Where did you find it?"
"That's what gets you into trouble."
"Why not dedicate it to your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty promised me to study it..."
"No! This is a divine weapon! What if it breaks!"
"How can a divine weapon be so easy?"
Aldai looked at Viola's face and said:
"Then give it to your Majesty..."

The completion of the temple also included a wave of sound and light effects, which Li Chengqi himself did not expect.
But this is a good thing. It greatly increases the perception of believers and shows that the temple is really effective. A large number of believers flock to it.
After looking at the inauguration ceremony of the temple and the situation in Leon's territory, Li Chengqi thought that nothing happened to him. However, when he moved the camera, he saw Viola leading Aldai hurriedly to the castle. Chapel run.
Soon a group of people knelt under the holy symbol and placed a small box.
Li Chengqi knew this box, which contained the Demon King's Ring that he found not long ago.
Because of Aldai's self-assertion, she now had to take temporary refuge in Leon's territory, but this adventure had other rewards besides the Demon King's Ring.
Aldai had given gold coins, gems and other things that could be spent as money, and asked her to put them in the warehouse for military pay. Aldai left some gold and silverware with cultural relic value for her own research.
The other thing is those golems.
Built in the age of mythology, the level is 5 levels higher than the average level 30 golem. It is a guard golem that specializes in combat.
These golems were originally used as temple guards, and the holy symbols on their left shoulders indicate that they are under the direct control of the Demon King God.
Li Chengqi could use the mouse to control them just like playing an RTS game, but it was a bit troublesome. Li Chengqi was too lazy to control them, so he gave all the control to Aldai.
These golems with levels up to 35, invulnerable, and even difficult to cause damage by magic, have been transported to Leon's territory by Aldai through the portal. Viola had to quickly ask someone to build a shed to avoid Exposed to the sun and rain. I believe that these golems will play a big role in future counterattacks.
Finally, there is the Demon King’s Ring.
This thing is indeed important, but Li Chengqi is not urgent about it. He can just get it while ensuring safety. There is no need to take any risks.
It happened that Aldai said he wanted to study it, and Li Chengqi agreed without saying a word.
But today she put the Demon King's Ring on the altar. Li Chengqi felt that it might not be that Aldai had studied enough, but that Viola had discovered it...
