The countess's territory is in the west of the kingdom, and the area is not large, but there are tens of thousands of people. The castle www.biquge.info not magnificent, but it is delicate and beautiful, full of greenery.

When Richie's carriage arrived, before the people went down, a servant came to lay the carpet. No sooner had Richie stepped on the thick carpet than he was frightened by the large number of servants lining up outside the castle gates.

"What kind of battle are you doing?"

Li Qi said to the countess who greeted him, not only to welcome the king's grand honor guard, but also the countess herself was dressed in a grand costume and dazzling colors, how could there be the sadness of the previous call.

"How dare I slack off when the Earl of the Frontier is here? ”

The countess stretched out her hand and grabbed him, as enthusiastic as before.

Indeed, this is the first time I've been here.

The countess looked Li Qi up and down, looking a little strange.

Li Qi said apologetically, "Who knew you were going to play this? ”

He was still dressed in a plain linen robe, and only carried a long sword with the family crest on it, which symbolized his noble status, and looked like an ascetic.

"I know that you are the Pope of Eros, and no one dares to say anything about you in any fancy dress", the countess said with emotion: "I found that you have grown taller and stronger, and your temperament has matured a lot, and you are no longer a teenager." ”

Is it past its expiration date?

Li Qi smiled faintly, he ate, lived and worked with everyone in Epsilon, and also spent difficulties with the goddess, and with full experience, his temperament was naturally very different from that weak boy at the beginning.

"In the past, your arm could help me lighten some of the burden, but now I can't reach it", the countess cupped Tuo Weishuo's chest, so that the wind and clouds that Li Qigang had just gathered dissipated instantly.

It's still the smoky Aurora.

After that, Richie went through a whole set of aristocratic etiquette that was delicate and subtle, and hypocritical to the point of his physiological reaction, and when he sat down in the countess's private drawing-room, he collapsed a little.

"I see, you're guilty of snubbing syndrome, and you're just going to arrest me to vent your desires. ”

Looking at the countess who had changed as soon as she entered the small living room, nestled in a leopard skin sofa like a lazy cat, Li Qi complained.

The countess had lost the spirit she had when she was standing, and asked wistfully, "Was anyone embarrassed when you came?"

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

Li Qi is now the Earl of the Frontier, and to use an inappropriate analogy, he is somewhat like the head of the Special Administrative Region. To enter and leave the kingdom, you must greet the kingdom and be accompanied by the people of the kingdom, and there is no freedom to move freely.

"Theresia isn't here, the Duke is really going to trouble me, and I'll do it. ”

Li Qi said indifferently, there are indeed some small troubles along the way, but after all, it is not the modern society of the earth world, and there is no such thing that even Emperor Chuan has to review by the relevant departments first.

He was both the Pope, the Count of the Frontier and the "Commander of the Southern Frontier Guards of the Kingdom", showing his banner and visiting friends under the pretext of visiting friends. Neither the little knights at the border post nor the Kingdom officials who came from nearby had the courage to stop him.

They couldn't do much more than report to the regent Duke of Transasia and give Richie a smile.

A privileged society is good......

"It was only last month that Theresia left, and the whole kingdom seemed to be encased in an iron cage by her," the countess sighed, "After the Duke became regent, he carefully followed her instructions, and did not dare to exceed the rules by half a step, and everyone thought that they could breathe a sigh of relief, but the result was ...... Alas. ”

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

"Aurora, the largest war of the Fourth Age is about to start in the north, and it will officially sound the clarion call for the replacement of the era, how can Hadron still be like a paradise, not affected at all?"

Li Qi understood the mood of the countess, and the turmoil of the tide of the times was making her uneasy.

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

After regulating the internal affairs of the kingdom, Theresia returned to the north with the newly recruited troops in the kingdom to continue her holy war.

Now the army gathered under her command has exceeded 100,000, of which nearly 30,000 are professionals.

Behind this army, there was also the financial and supply support of more than a dozen kingdoms. This is the chain reaction after Theresia retrieved the lost sword of Kem, ascended to the throne of Hadron, and formed the Loyal Alliance.

Theresia's goal is to the eastern barrier of Valentine, the Cathedral of Valentine in the Kingdom of Valentine.

In addition to claiming that the Divine Alliance is an evil heresy, the Sword of Kem is a forgery, and Theresia is a "fallen saint", the headquarters of the Divine Court of Loyalty has finally taken substantive action through the network of gods and demons and various news channels.

Just last month, the kingdom of Valentine, which had always been a vassal of Ferka, was purged again. In front of the Valentine Cathedral, thousands of "heretics", including three princes and two princesses of the country, were hanged in public. With this move, Ika further consolidated her grip on the Valentine Kingdom.

Considering the movement of Erika to gather troops and professionals in the eastern and northern kingdoms of the continent, Li Qi deduced that before Theresia's army entered the kingdom of Valentine, a major war of unprecedented scale would break out between the two sides.

Judging from the map, the most suitable place for a decisive battle is in the territory of the Kingdom of Elanis, which is more than 1,000 kilometers south of the Kingdom of Valentine and more than 3,000 kilometers north of the Kingdom of Hadlang. Half of the country's territory is a flat, vast wilderness.

Well, Li Qi is not very accurate, and it should not be delayed until the second half of the year.

At that time, Theresia's army may swell to 200,000, and the Loyal Divine Court, just with the power of the Valentine Kingdom, can produce an army of 100,000 people including at least 10,000 professionals, plus reinforcements from all walks of life and the headquarters of Erxiang, 300,000 is indispensable.

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

The countess did not realize how violent the tide of the times would be, and the mere sound of the tide caused great distress to her.

Based on her friend's point of view, Li Qi still tried his best to help her adjust her mentality.

"I know that, too, but it's ...... I can't get used to it", the countess changed her posture, showing the most seductive curves of a woman, and chuckled: "Probably the heart is empty and lacks support." ”

Li Qixin said that you always catch people off guard, but fortunately, his eyes have been washed by the goddess and Catherine before, and his resistance has grown greatly.

He smiled calmly, "What about the pious and elegant saint Aurora, isn't she there?"

The countess sneered, "Speaking of which, Richie, it's your fault. ”

Li Qi is innocent, when did I ruin your faith?

"Don't you remember? When the studio was still with you, when you talked about the difference between me and Theresia, you said that what I lacked was faith. ”

The countess waved her hand and made a saluting gesture: "I am a graceful saint, and my faith is very pious, but as you say, such faith is far less powerful than that of Theresia, and now that she is king, it cannot be compared." ”

"But this is still faith, isn't it? During this period of time, I took a break from filming, just thinking about how to spread my faith and get more people's recognition. Not simply to identify with the faith, but to identify with me, the faith expressed by Aurora Behemia!"

Speaking of the back, the countess was refreshed again, her fingers were like braided flowers, and her arms were like snakes, changing different postures, which was the etiquette of different classes among the nobles.

Li Qi exclaimed: "I didn't expect your ambitions to be quite ambitious......"

He asked again, "Is there something wrong with that?"

"When I review the doctrine, I always feel ......"

The countess's gaze was cast into the air, as if she was about to grasp something: "My lord's faith should contain something deeper, but I just can't find it." My piety before, like my performance, was a very superficial thing, which made me panic in my heart, as if my lord was moving away from me. ”

Damn, theologically contemplative beauty......

This temptation is like a young lady wearing a slit skirt and an eye patch playing a sword dance.

Li Qi sighed secretly, since he is here, let's help.

Hopefully it won't take too much time, Elle and Clank Bell are following him, and Clank Bell can't control Elle.

"I don't know much about Lady Grace, and the teachings of Lady Grace seem to be very far from the teachings of our Lord. ”

"But you can show me the elegant doctrine you want to express," said Rich, "and see what I can grasp." ”

"Really, Richie, you're such a nice guy!"

The countess suddenly gained her spirit, jumped up from the sofa, and said excitedly: "Your previous sentence is not correct, I have thought about the great love you said, and I feel that the elegant doctrine of our lord is actually a kind of great love. ”

I'm going to fight for the name of God of Love.

"Then let's simulate a scene like a fantasy drama, I play a noble lady, and you are a farmer. ”

The countess coughed, and her temperament changed suddenly.

She carried the hem of her skirt like a noble woman walking in the territory in a happy mood. I inadvertently passed by the field and met Richie.

"Hello, farmer. ”

The countess waved her hand, unfolded her folding fan, covering half of her face, and set her eyes on Li Qi's head ten centimeters.

Her posture is also very elegant, it is half sideways, and the other hand lets go of the skirt, passes under the arm holding the fan, and makes a virtual pressing motion.

The more I looked at it, the more I felt that there were countless details, but in the countess, there was no trace of deliberate carving, which seemed extremely natural.

Li Qizhen felt that it was a noble lady who said hello to the farmer, with the reserved attitude of a nobleman, but without losing respect and kindness, which made people feel very comfortable.

Of course, this is just the feeling of standing on the side of the aristocracy.

I haven't seen such an action before, is it a etiquette created by the countess?

"The grace of our Lord is based on etiquette and everything in the world that transmits it, such as black tea. ”

The countess explained: "Elegance is to soak people's hearts with more suitable and beautiful etiquette, to let etiquette connect everyone, to make etiquette everywhere and everywhere, to make people one with etiquette." The world will become more peaceful and happier because of elegance. ”

"This is only the doctrine of the canon of our Lord God, and I am inspired by your great love, and feel that the way of grace practiced by our Church is based only on the etiquette among the nobles. The aristocracy did not pay much attention to etiquette when treating commoners and slaves, and the commoners and slaves were ignorant, and did not understand etiquette and elegance above etiquette, so they knew kowtow. ”

"I wondered, why not push elegance between nobles and commoners, commoners and slaves, and even nobles and slaves?

Richie's cheeks contorted, trying to suppress the urge to sneer and scold "idiots."

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

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

"A lot, I'll talk about it roughly," the countess gestured, "covering her face with a fan is to prevent her subordinates from seeing the nobles' expressions, lest they speculate on the nobles' intentions and make useless moves, which is a heavy pressure on them." ”

"Keeping the gaze above the head is not to ignore it, but to let the subordinates know that the nobleman is looking in his direction, but not to respond to a frightened or flattered expression because the eyes meet. ”

This hand is pressed to signal that there is no need to kowtow, at least not for that long. ”

The countess said proudly: "There are many details, I just showed you the most superficial part." How is it? Do you feel the goodwill and the beauty, the grace that pleases you?"

"Well, as a bystander, I do feel it", Li Qi originally wanted to perfunctory, but in the face of the countess's earnest gaze, he decided to speak his heart. After all, the countess was an important member of the united front, and she had the opportunity to be drawn into the revolutionary camp, and she should not let it go.

"But if I were a real farmer, it might not have been the same. ”

Richie's words made the countess look forward to it: "Say, just say, I would like to hear constructive advice." ”

That's what you said.

Li Qi was not polite: "First of all, the action of covering your face makes me think that you are trying to block out the smells that make you uncomfortable, such as the smell on my body, or the tone when I speak. ”

"Uh......"

The countess still smiled, refraining herself from interrupting Rich's actions.

"Secondly, you didn't look me in the eye, obviously thinking that my face, my whole being, was unsightly. ”

"This one is kind of ...... Okay, go ahead. ”

"Finally, before I kowtowed, you made a gesture to stop me from kowtowing, which was a reminder that I had to kowtow right away. ”

"Richie!"

The countess was furious: "All the kindness in the etiquette has been distorted by you as malice!
