At this point, the Battle of the Coral Sea was nearing its end.
The imperial cavalry is about to breach the capital of Neberg, while Caesar has already begun preparations for his return.
Leon did receive Hawkeye's letter and learned about Leon's current situation, but he couldn't understand Caesar. He didn't know what Caesar was thinking. After the last lesson, Leon dared not easily test Caesar.
However, Leon was certain that Caesar was absolutely furious. Based on his understanding of Caesar, the angrier Caesar was, the calmer he appeared.
Oh, my foolish elder brother! Father is back in the palace. Let's see how you're going to handle this.
Leon was ready to have some fun.
Chapter 86 Solution
There is a true God in this world.
In other words, if you pray to the goddess of justice, you will receive a response.
In any case, the gods can definitely hear your prayers; whether they will respond is up to them.
After all, the goddess of justice has followers all over the world, and countless people pray to her every day. If we consider prayer as QQ messages on Earth, then the goddess's QQ number is 9999...+ that never ends.
Most of these messages are irrelevant junk messages, so the goddess will most likely ignore them or even block them.
Therefore, whether or not you can get a response from the goddess depends on luck.
However, the goddess probably does have a "special attention" setting, such as church angels, Emperor Caesar, and other top figures in the human world. If you want to communicate with the goddess, you can definitely get a reply from her.
Every year during the annual festival, Caesar would pray to the goddess of justice, and Leon remembered that the goddess would respond instantly.
The goddess's reply was not a direct communication in Festergut, but rather an expression of her meaning through some strange changes in the surrounding environment.
After all, it would be too unrefined for a god to communicate with you in Festergut.
I wonder if the goddess will respond if I pray to her and ask for her help?
When you're alone at home, it's easy to overthink.
Leon can't go anywhere or do anything right now, so strange ideas keep popping into his head.
Just now, Leon was lying on his bed in his room, thinking about how he could solve the problem of his spirituality not being able to rise.
To this end, Leon considered many options. The first one to be ruled out was seeking help from terrestrial angels like Bancroft, because even knowing someone's face doesn't guarantee knowing their heart! Let alone these angels who evolved from humans!
They are too dangerous. With my current strength, I am still too inexperienced to deal with them. If they have ill intentions, I am afraid I will be terribly harmed by them.
Then, she would seek the help of the royal family and tell her father, Caesar, about the matter. However, because of Helena's situation, her conflict with Caesar was almost irreconcilable, so telling him about it now...
If it were on Earth, there wouldn't be any problem, but when it comes to his family in this world... emmm, Leon has to believe in friendship even more, and it's even possible that love can withstand the test of time better than this thing.
Although love and friendship have always been celebrated on Earth, those who understand know the truth in their hearts.
Therefore, Leon is not considering telling Caesar about this for the time being.
Therefore, I had no choice but to find a solution myself.
However, without external help, Leon is completely helpless.
Therefore, Leon was very distressed, but at this moment he suddenly thought of the faith that the Fchester people always talked about—the goddess of justice.
Yes, if the gods can help me, then there shouldn't be any problems, right?
Removing the contamination from a mithril-level mortal should not be a difficult task for a god.
So Leon decided to try his luck and pray to the goddess of justice for her help.
"Someone come here."
Leon called softly towards the door.
The maid standing guard outside the door at that moment was Lucy.
The door to the room wasn't closed, and Lucy cautiously walked in.
"Your Highness, what are your orders?"
Lucy faced Leon, her pretty face bowed respectfully, her eyes fixed on the tips of her shoes, and she slightly lifted her skirt to greet him.
"come here."
Leon threw back the covers and sat up in bed.
Ah this...
What is Your Highness trying to do?
Just yesterday, Annie told me that he was a good person.
Did Anne lie?
impossible!
Lucy was a little hesitant, but she still didn't dare disobey Leon's orders and went to the bedside.
"Why are you so nervous? I just want you to go to the door and see what Hebrew is doing."
Leon found it somewhat amusing to see Lucy nervously clutching the sides of her skirt.
That's enough. If you've been a bad person for too long, everything you do will seem evil in the eyes of others.
This is similar to the situation of students who score low on tests. In the Chinese education system, children who cannot get high scores on tests are considered useless by teachers and parents. Even if they show unique talents in other areas unrelated to textbook knowledge, they will still be ignored and denied, and considered as a waste of time.
"Yes...yes, Your Highness."
Well... alright, I misunderstood Your Highness.
Perhaps Anne was right; we had misunderstood him before. Leon is actually a good person, at least unlike those superficially gentlemanly guys. Although his way of communicating is cold and rude, he hardly shows any malice in his actions.
After hearing Leon's words, Lucy's face flushed slightly, not because of any hormonal changes, but simply because she felt ashamed of her initial thoughts.
Is this request difficult to fulfill?
Leon sensed that Lucy seemed a little off, so he asked in confusion.
"Ah, no... Yes, Your Highness."
Lucy gave a slight bow, then quickly left the room, only to return a short while later.
"Your Highness, Mr. Hebrew is playing cards with some knights."
Lucy spoke in a slightly hurried tone.
All the maids were nervous around Leon, afraid that he would suddenly throw things and lose his temper; it was practically a conditioned reflex for her.
"Playing poker with the Cavaliers?"
"Play...play cards."
Lucy suddenly realized that the description of playing poker seemed too vivid, so she quickly changed her words.
It seems...
His Highness Leon knows how to play poker.
"Okay, Lucy, just pretend I'm still inside the room and will continue to wait at the door."
"Leon said in a low voice."
"This... Your Highness, what are you planning to do? If you were to sneak out of the palace, that would be deceiving the emperor!"
Lucy had been in the palace for several years, and she quickly understood what Leon meant.
He was trying to slip away while keeping himself standing at the door to deceive Mr. Hebrew and create the illusion that Leon was still in the room.
If I cooperate with him and the matter is exposed, then I will be considered to have deceived the emperor!
Thinking of this, Lucy felt her whole body go weak; she was terrified.
"What are you thinking? I have an extra head and I'm not going to sneak out of the palace! I'm just going to the lab and I'll be right back. I don't want Hebrew to come with me."
Leon had already gotten out of bed and walked over to Lucy. He gently patted Lucy's head and chuckled softly.
"Ah...yes, Your Highness."
Lucy was stunned by the photo.
Your Highness, what's going on?
Is he...is he smiling at himself?
And what's with this intimate behavior?
When Lucy came to her senses again, five seconds had passed, and Leon had already slipped away like the wind with light, cat-like steps.
P.S.: Sharing the white-haired, red-eyed series, Helena's dream of gaining demonic power, and the character design after her corruption.
Chapter Eighty-Seven: Goddess of Justice
Based on mystical knowledge in my mind.
If you want to convey a message to the gods, you need to perform a prayer ritual.
The items needed for the prayer ritual are three candles, essential oils to appease the gods, a silver dagger, and holy water. If other items related to the realm of the gods can also be offered, the effect will be even better.
These items are all stocked in Leon's laboratory, so Leon doesn't need to worry about a shortage of materials.
There are many types of candles, and there's a lot to learn about them. Different colored candles convey different meanings. If you use the wrong one, you won't receive a response from the gods, and you might even incur their displeasure. After all, imagine if some idiot sent you a string of nonsensical spam messages in your inbox. Wouldn't you want to block and mute them?
Of course, blocking and muting are the least of your worries. You should know that gods have the power to come through the internet and beat you up.
Fortunately, the original owner had a very solid grasp of these mystical knowledge, which meant that Leon didn't have to go through the trouble of looking up relevant information.
Here's a brief explanation.
The candles in this world come in 13 colors, each with its own unique meaning.
Gold represents health.
Green represents prosperity.
Blue represents perseverance.
Violet represents achievement.
Red represents love.
Yellow represents peace.
White represents purity.
Orange represents harmony.
Pink represents gratitude.
Brown represents profession.
Gray represents rescue.
Off-white represents faith.
Black represents the soul.
After all the other props were ready, Leon finally found a cream-colored candle, a red candle, and a gray candle. These three colors of candles were the most frequently used and the most common on the altar.
After finding the candles, Leon arranged them neatly in a triangle on the cleaned table. He placed the off-white candle at the apex facing him, then the red candle on the left and the gray candle on the right.
There are details involved. Just like the traditional culture of the food-loving nation, the mysticism here also follows the principle of "left is superior". Therefore, the position on the left is of higher status than the position on the right. And the red candle represents love for the gods, so it should naturally be placed in a higher position.
After the candles were placed, Leon put a small iron basin next to them to serve as a makeshift altar.
He then placed an item in the altar to please the goddess of justice: a weight inlaid with beautiful blue diamonds.
This weight is something Leon uses to measure the volume when mixing potions in his laboratory. In mysticism, weights can be used to appease the goddess of justice, as they symbolize fairness and impartiality.
Moreover, Leon's weights are exquisitely crafted and quite expensive. Just this small, five-gram item costs over 100,000 floats. Three of them would be the price of an ordinary person's life's work to finally buy a house.
It's fair to say that if you could come in and "snatch" a few dollars, you could go out and become a nouveau riche.
However, there are extraordinary powers in this world. Even if you were born with three heads and six arms like the little hero Nezha, it would still be absolutely not enough to steal things from the palace.
So Leon wasn't too worried about being robbed, mainly because he didn't really care about it. Just how rich the Hoyle family was was something no normal person could imagine.
