Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 128 Shadow
On the other side, Li Chengxi was holding a barbecue skewer and was relieved when he saw that the giant centipede on the screen, which was still very disgusting despite its pixelated style, was dead.

This time it was indeed a bit dangerous. Li Chengxi had never expected that his direct interference could be blocked, and even his contact with Viola could be blocked.

The player plays the role of the Demon God in the game, but there are more than one God in the game.

From this perspective, it is not surprising that others can block your operations.

To use an inappropriate analogy, it's like when you are playing a PFS game and the opponent throws a high flash at you, and you hear the sounds of footsteps and gunfire.

At this point you can either spin around and shoot randomly, or take your hands off the keyboard and wait for the next round.

Li Chengxi had never encountered such a thing before, largely because Viola had never encountered believers of other gods before, especially those who were strongly hostile.

After hearing from Alde that gods rarely interfere directly in the mortal world, Li Chengxi also figured out that the demon god played by the player was Liupi, and he himself had intervened in the mortal world quite a few times in a literal sense.

It wasn't until today that he understood why, because if you want to interfere, there are other gods who will stop you.

When Li Chengxi tried to use his fingers to push the assassin, he was blocked by the power of the Centipede Lord, but the fact that it didn't work didn't mean that there was no consumption. 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 "miracle" ability and directly infused Viola with divine power. Otherwise, his number one believer would have died on the spot.

Having said that, in Viola's hands, divine power can not only be used for attack and defense, but also for treatment, which is something Li Chengxi did not 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 informed Viola of this.

Li Chengxi was also surprised when she punched him. What was even more surprising was that she could actually use this seemingly physical method to drive away insects. Li Chengxi was just wondering whether he should go out to the drugstore late at night to buy some anthelmintics.

But then again, why would the god, the Lord of Centipedes, target Viola?

To be honest, this was the first time Li Chengxi saw this name. If it was the plague goddess who had been slapped by him several times, it would be reasonable for her to come and seek revenge.

For example, if I can’t find the Demon King to take revenge on me, can I still not find the Demon King’s followers?

But Li Chengxi has never had any contact with the Lord of the Centipedes. Could it be that this Dogecoin is an ally of the Plague Goddess, and saw its ally being beaten so it came here to take revenge?
For example, this matter has nothing to do with the Plague Goddess. The Centipede Lord 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 for him to come to deal with her.

But Viola's decision to come to Sailing City was a last-minute one, with only a few days to prepare. If it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, could she really prepare a way to isolate herself from the Demon King's interference?
I remember that Orday told Li Chengxi several times that the Demon King was the most powerful god. Would the Centipede Lord 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 more powerful?
There seems to be something wrong. There are druids who believe in the Spring Goddess in the Spring Glade, but I have never seen the Spring Goddess issue an oracle saying that the Demon King must die.

It feels like I was beaten for no apparent reason, and I don't know why.

Li Chengxi scratched his head and decided to put the matter aside for the time being. He had to take a good look to see if there were any other problems with other people in the castle. He couldn't stand it if it happened again.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Someone tried to assassinate the princess. Such a big thing certainly couldn't be ignored. Everyone in the castle, including the confused guests in the banquet hall who didn't know what was going on, had to go through a screen to confirm that there was no problem.

With such a big incident, of course the banquet could not be held. The inspection continued until midnight, and only after confirming that the guests were fine did they let them go.

"Come in."

Walter sat in the office looking at documents, rubbing his sore stomach from time to time. When he heard a knock on the door, he motioned for the person outside to come in.

The person who entered the office was not an outsider, but Walter's daughter Wendy.

"Dad, are you feeling better?"

"Ah, much better. Your Highness, this punch reminded me of when I was trained by your grandfather when I was a child."

Wendy snickered and sat on the sofa opposite Walter.

When the incident happened, Wendy and Reina were still entertaining guests in the banquet hall and had no idea what was going on. Otherwise, with her housekeeper Reina'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 almost finished their search. No traces of the deformed creatures were found, but two spies were found."

"She's the maid in charge of the tea."

"So you knew?"

"They were kept here on purpose so that they could pass on some false information to the outside world."

"It's still under interrogation, but it doesn't seem to be related to this incident."

"Yeah, if they were related they would have done it long ago, why wait until now."

Walter shook his head:

"Although he shouldn't have to worry about any means on the battlefield, from what I know about the Tiger of the Kingdom, he doesn't like to use underhanded methods like assassination. It may have nothing to do with the Subia Demon Kingdom."

"You think highly of your enemies."

"It's your grandfather who speaks highly of his old rival. I hear it every day and my ears are almost callused."

Although the battlefield is cruel, it is also a place where heroes appreciate heroes. The more powerful the enemy, the higher the evaluation will be given by his opponent instead of simply belittling him.

"But I never thought that Lux, the housekeeper who has worked in the castle for ten years, is actually a transgender creature."

"The mages checked the barrier beneath the castle and found that it had been tampered with. Its effect had been weakened, which allowed the deformed creatures to sneak in."

The fangs of the Centipede Lord are special shapeshifting creatures that will eat their victims hollow, then drill into their own bodies and manipulate them to camouflage themselves.

In addition, the barrier had been tampered with, so he was able to sneak into the castle.

Wendy guessed that the transgender creature might have bribed Officer Lux to tamper with the barrier, then ate him and disguised itself as him.

As for when it was replaced, it is unknown. It may be recently or a long time ago.

It is even possible that from the very beginning, Internal Affairs Officer Lukes was a pawn destined to be abandoned.

Wendy was not making a random guess, she put a document on Walter's desk.

"I just checked the files and found that Officer Lux had made a spelling error when filling in his birthplace. This simple mistake should not have happened to a civil servant 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 mistake doesn't seem like something someone from our country would make. It's more like something someone from the Demon Kingdom of Oswaya would make."

This is the farthest demon kingdom from the Avarus Demon Kingdom, and is also one of the few neutral demon kingdoms in this war.

If Internal Affairs Officer Lux is a spy sent by the Demon Kingdom of Oswaya, then what is the connection between this country and the Lord of the Centipede?
"Father, who sent Officer Lux?"

"Of course it's your grandfather..."

Walter was stunned for a moment:
"No, you should be sent by the royal family. Ten years ago, you and your grandfather were still living in the capital."

"Yes, Grandfather probably didn't know about this, but it's unusual for the royal family to interfere in the internal affairs of a regional lord."

"Wendy, what do you want to say?"

"Grandpa once told me that there is an unknown force lurking beneath the royal power in this world, manipulating the change of royal power. Grandpa has no evidence, only a feeling."

Wendy sat back on the sofa, holding her cane in her arms and said thoughtfully:

"What if that wasn't an illusion, and there really was something like a shadow?"
