Chapter 137 Elegance and Manners

The Countess's territory is in the west of the kingdom. It is small in size, but has tens of thousands of people.The castle is not magnificent, but it is exquisite and beautiful, full of greenery.

When Li Qi's carriage arrived, servants came to lay the carpet before anyone got out.Just as Li Qi stepped on the thick carpet, he was frightened by a large number of servants lining up outside the gate of the castle.

"What are you doing?"

Li Qi told the countess who was coming up, not only to welcome the king with a grand guard of honor, but also the countess herself was dressed in a splendid attire, and she was so gorgeous that she was not as miserable as the previous conversation.

"The earl of the frontier is here, how dare I neglect it? Besides, it's your first time to come to my place."

The Countess reached out and grabbed him, just as passionately as before.

Indeed, it is really the first time here.

The countess looked Li Qi up and down, with a strange look on her face.

Li Qi said apologetically: "Who knew you were going to play this? I didn't take it as a serious matter."

He was still wearing a plain linen robe, and he only carried a long sword with the family emblem on it, which symbolized the status of nobility. He looked almost like an ascetic monk.

"We all know that you are the Pope of the God of Love, and no one dares to say you are wearing any fancy clothes." The countess said with emotion: "I just discovered that you have grown taller and stronger, and your temperament has matured a lot. You are no longer a teenager. gone."

Has it expired?

Li Qi smiled lightly. He ate and lived with everyone in Epsilon, worked together, and even went through difficulties with the goddess. With a lot of experience, his temperament is naturally very different from that of the weak boy at the beginning.

"In the past, your arm could help me relieve some of the burden, but now it can't reach it anymore." The countess supported Tuo Weishuo's chest, making Li Qigang's calmness dissipate in an instant.

It's still that Aurora who looks so charming.

Afterwards, Li Qi went through a whole set of baptism of aristocratic etiquette that was so precise and so hypocritical that he had a physiological reaction. When he sat down in the countess' private small living room, he was a little exhausted.

"I see. You are suffering from the syndrome of being left out in the cold, and you just caught me here to vent your desire."

Looking at the countess who changed into a different person as soon as she entered the small living room, nestling in the leopard leather sofa like a lazy cat, Li Qi complained.

The countess had lost the vigor she had when she was standing, and asked lazily, "Is there anyone in trouble when you come here?"

This is going straight to the point, it seems that he really wants to talk to Li Qi.

Li Qi is now the Earl of the Borderlands. To use an inappropriate analogy, he looks a bit like the head of the special zone.To enter and leave the kingdom, one must greet the kingdom and be accompanied by people from the kingdom, and there is no freedom of movement.

"Teresia isn't here, the duke really wants to trouble me, so I'll just go ahead."

Li Qi said indifferently that this journey was indeed a little troublesome, but after all, it is not a modern society in the earth world, and there is no such thing as the relevant department having to review even the tweets of the Emperor Chuan.

He is not only the pope, but also the earl of the frontier and the "head of the southern border army of the Kingdom". He made a show of his banner, and the excuse was to visit friends.Neither the little knight at the border checkpoint nor the kingdom officials who came from nearby had the guts to stop him.

Apart from reporting to the regent Duke of Delancia and making Li Qi smile, they couldn't do anything more.

A privileged society is good...

"Teresia just left last month, and the whole kingdom seems to be shrouded in an iron cage by her." The countess sighed: "After the Duke became regent, he carefully followed her instructions and did not dare to overstep the rules." Step, everyone thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, but it turns out... oh."

She stared blankly at the ceiling and muttered, "It's changed, it's completely changed."

"Aurora, the largest war in the Fourth Era is about to start in the north, and it will officially sound the horn of the era change. How can Hadron be like Xanadu and not be affected at all?"

Li Qi understood the Countess' mood, the turmoil of the times was making her restless.

After he returned to the castle, he also had a general understanding of the recent situation through the network of gods and demons.

After Teresia settled the kingdom's internal affairs, she returned to the north with the newly recruited troops in the kingdom to continue her jihad.

Now the army assembled under her command has exceeded [-], of which nearly [-] are professionals.

Behind this army, there are more than a dozen kingdoms supporting them financially and in terms of supplies.This is the chain reaction after Teresia retrieved the lost sword of Kem, ascended the throne of Hadron, and formed the League of Loyal Gods.

Teresia's goal is directed at Erxiang's eastern barrier, Valentine's Cathedral in the Kingdom of Valentine.

In addition to declaring that the League of Gods is an evil heresy, the sword of Kem is a forgery, and Theresia is a "fallen saint" through the network of gods and demons and various news channels, the headquarters of Youxiang Loyalty God Court finally has a substantive statement. action.

Just last month, the Kingdom of Valentine, which had always been a vassal of Youxiang, was purged again.In front of Valentine's Cathedral, thousands of "heretics", including the country's three princes and two princesses, were hanged in public.Through this move, Youxiang further consolidated its control over the Kingdom of Valentine.

Taking into account the movement of Youxiang to gather troops and professionals in the eastern and northern kingdoms of the mainland, Li Qi deduced that before Theresia's army entered the Valentine's Kingdom, a war of unprecedented scale would definitely break out between the two sides.

From the map, the most suitable place for a decisive battle is within the territory of the Alanis Kingdom, more than 1000 kilometers south of the Kingdom of Valentine and more than 3000 kilometers north of the Kingdom of Hadron.Half of the country's territory is flat and vast wilderness.

As for the time, Li Qi is not sure. It should not be delayed until the second half of the year.

By that time, Theresia's army might expand to 20, and the loyal court, with the power of the Valentine Kingdom alone, can produce an army of 30 including at least [-] professionals, plus [-] reinforcements from all walks of life and Youxiang's headquarters are indispensable.

In this era, a war of this scale is enough to determine the direction of the world.

The countess didn't realize how violent the tide of the era that was about to erupt would be, and the mere sound of the tide caused her great distress.

From the perspective of a friend, Li Qi still tried his best to help her adjust her mentality.

"I know that too, but... I just can't get used to it yet." The countess changed her posture, showing the most attractive curves of a woman, and said with a low smile, "Probably because my heart is empty and lacks support."

Li Qixin said that you always catch people off guard. Fortunately, his eyes have been washed by the goddess and Catherine before, and his resistance has improved a lot.

He smiled calmly: "Where is that pious and elegant saint Aurora? Isn't she here?"

The countess said angrily: "Speaking of which, Li Qi, it's your fault."

Li Qi is very innocent, when did I destroy your faith?

"Don't you remember? When the studio was still in your place, when it came to the difference between me and Teresia, you said that what I lacked was faith."

The countess waved her hand and made a saluting gesture: "I am an elegant saint, and my beliefs are very pious, but as you said, such beliefs are far less powerful than Theresia's. Now that she has become a king, she has no Fabi."

"But it's still a belief, isn't it? During this period of time, I've been taking a rest, just thinking about how to spread my beliefs and get more people's approval. It's not simply agreeing with the beliefs, but agreeing with me, Aurora - Faith expressed by Behemia!"

Speaking of the latter, the countess regained her spirits, her fingers were like weaving flowers, her arms were like snakes, changing different postures, which was the etiquette of different classes of nobles.

Li Qi praised: "I didn't expect your ambition to be quite lofty..."

He asked again, "What's wrong with that?"

"When I'm reviewing the teachings, I always feel..."

The countess cast her gaze into the air, as if trying to catch something: "My lord's faith should contain something deeper, but I just can't find it. My piety before, just like my performance, was a kind of It’s very superficial, which makes me panic, as if my Lord is moving away from me.”

Damn it, beauties who ponder theology...

This temptation is like a young lady in a slit skirt and blindfold playing sword dance.

Li Qi secretly sighed, since you are here, let me help you.

Hope it won't take too much time, Ellie and Ding Dong have followed him, and Ding Dong can't control Ellie.

"I don't know much about Ms. Elegant. The teachings of Ms. Elegant seem to be far from the teachings of my Lord."

Li Qi said: "But you can show me the elegant teaching you want to express, and see what I can understand."

"Really? Li Qi, you are such a good person!"

The countess regained her energy, jumped up from the sofa, and said excitedly: "Your previous sentence is not correct, I have thought about the great love you said, and feel that the elegant teachings of our Lord are actually a kind of great love. "

It's time to compete for the title of God of Love.

"Then let's simulate a scene like filming a fantasy drama. I will play the role of a noble woman, and you are a farmer."

The countess coughed, her temperament suddenly changed.

She was holding the hem of her skirt, like an aristocratic woman walking in the territory in a happy mood.Passing by the field inadvertently, I saw Li Qi.

"Hello, Farmer."

The countess waved her hand, unfolded the folding fan, covered half of her face, and cast her eyes ten centimeters above Li Qi's head.

Her posture is also very elegant, half-turned, the other hand let go of the hem of the skirt, passed under the arm holding the fan, and made a virtual pressing movement.

The more I look at it, the more I feel that there are countless details, but on the countess, there is no deliberate carving, which looks extremely natural.

Li Qi really felt that it was an aristocratic woman who greeted the farmer, with the modesty that a nobleman should have, but without losing respect and kindness, which made people feel very comfortable.

Of course, this is just the feeling from the standpoint of the nobility.

I have never seen such an action before. Is it the etiquette created by the countess?

"My lord's elegance is based on etiquette and everything in the world that can convey etiquette, such as black tea."

The Countess explained: "Infiltrate people's hearts with more suitable and beautiful etiquette, let etiquette connect everyone, let etiquette be ubiquitous, omnipresent, let people and etiquette be one, this is elegance. The world will become more peaceful because of elegance ,Happier."

"This is just the teaching of the Lord's God's Book, and I was inspired by your great love, and I feel that the elegant way practiced by our church is only based on the etiquette among the nobles. The nobles do not pay attention to etiquette when they treat civilians and slaves. Commoners and slaves are ignorant, let alone etiquette and the elegance beyond etiquette, they just know how to kowtow."

Her face glowed eagerly: "I was thinking, why not extend the elegance between nobles and commoners, commoners and slaves, and even between nobles and slaves? Wouldn't such elegance break down the barriers of identity and make love and kindness What about passing it on to everyone?"

Li Qi's cheeks twisted, and he tried his best to suppress the sneer and the impulse to call "idiot".

He probably understood a little of the teachings of the elegant lady, and the "ambition" of the countess.

He asked: "Then how did your etiquette reflect elegance?"

"A lot, let me briefly talk about it." The countess moved: "The use of a fan to cover the face is to prevent the servants from seeing the nobleman's expression, so as not to make them guess the nobleman's intentions and then make unnecessary actions. Said it was a heavy pressure."

"Looking at the top of the head is not ignoring, but letting the servants know that the nobleman is looking in his direction, but he will not have to respond with panic or flattered expressions just because his eyes meet."

"This hand is pressing down to indicate that you don't need to kowtow, at least you don't have to kowtow for so long."

The countess said proudly: "There are still many details, I just showed you the most superficial part. How is it? Feel the kindness and beauty, and the elegance that pleases you?"

"Well, as a bystander, I really felt it." Li Qi originally wanted to be perfunctory, but when he met the countess' earnest gaze, he decided to speak his mind.After all, the countess is an important member of the united front, and she should not let go of the opportunity to be drawn into the revolutionary camp.

"But if I were a real farmer, the feeling might be different."

Li Qi's words made the Countess look forward to it: "Say it, just say it, I just hope to hear constructive opinions."

This is what you said.

Li Qi was blunt: "First of all, the way you cover your face makes me think that you are trying to block those smells that make you uncomfortable, such as the smell on my body, or the tone of your voice."

"Uh……"

The countess still kept smiling, restraining herself from interrupting Li Qi's actions.

"Secondly, you didn't look directly at me, obviously because you thought my face and my whole body were unsightly."

"It's a bit...well, go on."

"In the end, before I kowtow, you made a gesture to stop me from kowtow, which is to remind me that I must kowtow immediately."

"Li Qi!"

The countess was angry: "All the goodwill in etiquette has been distorted by you into malice! Did you come here to make trouble?"
