"Good morning, Conrad." Ellie, who was up early, sat at the dining table.
Conrad brought over a few newspapers and placed them beside Ellie. "Madam."
"Hmm."
Li Aili picked up a knife and fork, cutting the butter muffins on the plate while flipping through the newspaper beside her.
"Huh? Why are there only a few newspapers today?"
Conrad smiled slightly, "Yes, there's a bit less today."
The golden, fluffy little pancakes are steaming hot, with the butter on top melting little by little, combining with the sweet honey.
Li Aili cut off a small piece with a knife and fork and put it in her mouth.
She ate a small pancake while flipping through the newspaper. "Hmm, they're all tabloids."
After flipping through two newspapers, Li Aili lost interest in reading them.
"Has no one come from the commercial street yet?"
Conrad shook his head. "Not yet, madam."
Although Li Aili did not mention remarrying the Duke, the old butler just liked to call her that.
Li Aili suspected that the old man was subtly reminding her to get back together with Arthur as soon as possible.
Just then, a 'tap tap tap' sound came from inside.
A blue messenger bird, almost crushed by newspapers, stood outside the window.
Li Aili: "..."
Conrad saw it too, and his eyelids twitched.
"Ah, is that Fisheranki's messenger bird?"
The small flower wreath around her neck is something that flower fairies like to do.
"But why did it send me a bunch of newspapers?"
"Conrad, bring the baby in quickly, it can't hold on much longer if I come in."
Conrad tried to maintain a smile. "Yes, madam."
Then he walked step by step to the window, opened it, and let that damned messenger bird in.
Li Aili saw the messenger bird struggling to carry the newspaper in front of her.
When the messenger bird landed, it was instantly crushed by the thick stack of things.
The little bird was pinned down on the table by the mountain of newspapers, with only its small head peeking out, much like Sun Wukong being suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain.
Li Aili quickly propped up a crack in the newspaper and poked the bird out.
After giving the messenger bird plenty of energy stones and watching it fly away with a 'whoosh', Li Aili began to study the newspaper on the table.
First, there was a note in the newspaper.
The note was written in the Elf King's beautiful cursive script: "The lich created by my ex-brother-in-law has finally done something good."
Li Aili: "?"
Looking down, the first newspaper's front page featured a photo that immediately caught her eye.
It was a burning royal city.
The headline, in bold and black, read: "The Scourge of the Undead has arrived; they seek to slaughter the gods."
Li Aili read the article quickly.
"The undead forbid the people of the continent from worshipping the god of love...?"
"If we don't obey the orders of the undead, will it unleash a swarm of undead calamities and slaughter the city?"
Li Aili skimmed through the rest of the text.
In essence, I urge everyone to fight against evil without fear of death.
At the same time, the text implies that the Holy Light Court will step in to 'punish the good and eliminate the evil'.
As for who the evil one is, the author of this article did not say it directly.
Even the night will turn dark, and even journalists who make a living with their pens are afraid of ghosts knocking on their doors in the dead of night.
Li Aili put down the newspaper in her hand and turned the page.
All the newspapers here have put 'the undead plague' on their front page.
Conrad carefully observed Ellie's expression.
Li Aili's expression remained unchanged.
After finishing the last newspaper, Li Aili looked up and asked, "Conrad, is this why you secretly hid those newspapers?"
Conrad replied softly, "Yes... I'm sorry, madam."
Li Aili thought for a moment, "You wouldn't act on your own without his instructions."
Conrad: "..."
After a moment of silence, Conrad said, "Your Highness simply..."
Li Aili pushed the newspaper aside and asked, "I didn't mean to blame you."
"I only care about... whether this will succeed."
Conrad paused for a moment, then said quickly, "Okay."
He looked at the newspapers. "These people made a mistake."
"If they really wanted to save Cupid, the best way would have been to cover it up instead of giving it such extensive coverage."
More than 1,000 years ago, the Holy Dragon caused the God of Tricks to fall by severing faith.
Ultimately, it left an indelible mark on the hearts of the gods.
Li Aili quickly guessed the reason.
He pointed to the sky, "So, people don't know that those up there are sustained by faith... huh?"
Conrad nodded.
The elegant butler smiled and poured Li Aili a cup of warm black tea.
"They don't know that they are helping the 'abominable' dead—the god-slayers."
...
Tom was an ordinary carpenter in Denton.
Single, with little spare money, struggling to make ends meet every day.
Today, he put all his belongings on the hired donkey cart.
"Clatter, clatter, go!" Tom waved the reins and drove the donkey cart.
On the way, he encountered another group of people.
A large group of men.
Tom greeted an acquaintance, "Hey! Uncle Jack! Are you guys going to Tankar also?"
"Oh! It's Tom."
"I want to go over there and find a job."
“If it’s easier to make a living there than in Denton, we’ll bring our family over there in the future.”
Tom looked at his little donkey cart.
"Hey, let's go together then."
"Guys, you can put your luggage in my car."
