I am a god in another world

Chapter 667 The overwhelming smell of conspiracy

"If you didn't tell me, I really wouldn't have noticed. It turns out that it's not that our Kingdom of Cormyr lacks talents, but that it lacks a pair of eyes to discover talents." The Crown Princess couldn't help but reflect on herself, "The general only relied on a travel diary written by someone else. , I can dig out so many things. I thought I had visited every corner of Cormyr, but I didn’t expect to miss so much.”

"Everyone has a different way of looking at things, which is determined by personal life experience. Your Highness only focused on my strengths, but did not see my shortcomings. There are many places where I am not as good as Your Highness." Gavin enlightened that the Crown Prince of Cormyr had very demanding requirements for himself. In the royal family, it was not uncommon for him to discipline himself before disciplining others, but it was unique.

The Crown Princess is known as the model of the princess of the Kingdom of Cormyr, and is widely loved by the people of Cormyr, not without reason.

The most frightening thing is that she is not only like this in front of others, but also behind others. She is the same on the outside and on the inside. But this way, life becomes much boring and boring. Even if he has lived for four generations, Gavin thinks that he cannot do this. Occasionally, There will be times when you indulge yourself.

With this incident as an introduction, the two of them undoubtedly had a lot more topics to talk about, most of which revolved around business and territorial management.

Gavin has a brain that Tynarasta does not have and knowledge borrowed from another world, opening up new doors for the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess has rich governance experience that Gavin does not have, ranging from decision-making and governance of the kingdom to handling disputes between lords and citizens. I don’t know how many have passed through her hands directly or indirectly over the years. Just give an example. Gavin felt very useful.

Unknowingly, the conversation between the two of them had already reached late at night. Just when the two of them had finished the conversation and were about to relax and rest for a few hours so that they could continue their journey tomorrow, the voice of the close female guard came from outside: " Your Highness, Sir Seob, the lord of Dadeluk Town, has an urgent request to see you."

The Crown Princess was obviously stunned for a moment, and a trace of unconcealed doubt flashed in her eyes, but she immediately said: "Invite him in."

A few minutes later, a tall and handsome middle-aged man walked in. He had the most standard Chinese character face, and there were already strands of white hair on his temples, but it did not diminish his beauty at all. On the contrary, it gave him a The unique charm of a mature man, with a deep and deep voice that matches his appearance, makes people involuntarily fall in love with him.

Lord Siobo immediately apologized and said, "I've met His Highness and I'm sorry for bothering you late at night."

"Lord Siobo, what you say is really outrageous." Crown Princess greeted her personally, "What makes you run back and forth all night is certainly not a trivial matter. Can you tell me in detail?"

"This..." Lord Siob's eyes fell on Gavin, as if it was inconvenient to say more.

"Let's chat. It's been a long day of running around. I'm going back to have a rest and memorize the spells." Gavin took the initiative to avoid suspicion.

"That's fine." Tynarasta did not rashly persuade him to stay, because she didn't know what Lord Siobel was about to say, and whether it would involve the conqueror's army or Gavin.

After sending Gai Wenmu away, there was no need for Princess Crown to ask a second time. Lord Siobo took the initiative and said, "Your Highness, Luji Town has disappeared."

"What does it mean that Luji Town has disappeared?" The confusion on Princess Crown's head became even thicker.

"It literally means that Luji Town disappeared out of thin air. When the business travelers passed by, they didn't see any trace of Luji Town. It was as if the village didn't exist at all. I took a trip myself and tried all the roads and trails. There was no sign of Luji Town," Lord Siobo quickly replied, "Then I sent three waves of search soldiers in the direction of Luji Town, and two of them came back successfully, but no trace of Luji Town was found. One road has disappeared like a road market town.”

When he said these words, Lord Siobo himself was full of confusion.

You must know that Luji Town is not a small village, but the largest human settlement in the entire King's Forest. It is one of the secret defense lines of the Kingdom of Cormyr against this ancient forest.

In the beginning, this place was just an intersection of muddy forest paths, where wandering trolls and forest monsters preyed wantonly. Later, a campsite was built by cutting down the forest. As the war with the trolls and forest monsters was won, , this campsite continued to expand, and finally developed into a forest trade center, including a fortified fortress and a series of forest horse farms, providing a large number of high-quality mounts for the Purple Dragon Knights.

This was once the place where the Purple Dragon Knights conducted actual combat training, so the later proverb "Have you ever seen a Purple Dragon Knight charging with their spears lowered? Oh, they are charging out of Luji Town." Later it became widely circulated in Cormyr The idiom "Luji Town is calling" is used to describe a charge on horseback or the sound of approaching horse hooves. The slogans shouted by many Purple Dragon Knights before charging are not for the kingdom, but Luji Town is calling us.

Here is not only the best Purple Dragon Knight in the Kingdom of Cormyr, but also the greatest warrior, Lord Felfa of the Wooden Seal. He once single-handedly repelled a troll attack and gained the reputation of the Troll Killer. To this day , he is still unimaginably strong, and the legends about him are all about being extremely powerful.

The most common legend is that Lord Mushi once intercepted a cart full of fleeing thieves. He single-handedly stopped two horses pulling the cart, then lifted them off the ground, forcing the cart to a sudden stop. Then he put down the two poor animals and tore off the reins like a spider web, cutting them from the horses. The thieves drew their weapons and stabbed him across the carriage. Lord Mushi simply grabbed the cart and threw it across a field, letting it roll all the way until it stopped upside down, and the dizzy thieves were thrown out of the cart one after another. In the process of arresting these thieves, one thief tried to fight back with a sword, but Lord Mushi bent the sword into a semicircle, then tucked the thief under one arm and continued to chase the others, striding forward without any impact.

As for those who drew their swords and made trouble in the Silver Qiubo Inn where Lord Muyin liked to relax and drink, and were thrown out of the inn door by him, that was common.

Because Lord Muyin and the Purple Dragon Knights he led were too famous, the battle mages stationed here were a little unknown. As the core point for supervising the entire kingdom forest, there were not only a large number of battle mages here, but also their strength was usually good. At least several extraordinary peak battle mages were on duty here.

Such a town with a strong military force disappeared silently, which was not a trivial matter even in the Kingdom of Cormier.

The Crown Princess said solemnly, "Since the matter is so serious, why don't you report it to His Majesty immediately?"

Although the town of Daedruk ruled by Lord Seob is only a small town with less than a thousand people, he has a very close relationship with King Yasang. This relationship can be traced back to when the two were still young boys. They had adventured together in the Free Adventure Group of Fair Fate. This adventure group had tamed most of the Thun Land (that is, the Goblin Borderland north of Thun Swamp) and Rock Land in the past. It's a pity that this taming was at the level of killing them with force, rather than incorporating them into the governance.

If it weren't for his temperament, Lord Seob would definitely not be just an idle lord in a remote area. He would definitely have a place in the Royal Council Hall.

And this is the cleverness of Lord Seob. Although he gave up his political future, he exchanged it for a long-term friendship between him and King Yasang. He went in and out of the Purple Dragon Palace just like going in and out of his own back garden. When the Crown Princess was young, she heard a lot of wonderful adventure stories from Lord Seob.

Lord Seob looked more serious and replied, "Your Majesty is not in the palace, and the Archmage cannot be contacted, so I can only contact His Highness as soon as possible."

"Both of you are not in the royal court at the same time." The Crown Princess realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately took out two palm-sized statues. One was wearing purple knight armor and exuded a kingly aura, and the other was wearing a luxurious but unconventional Archmage robe, exuding a mysterious aura. They looked exactly like King Yasan and the court Archmage Fenggedahast.

Seeing that the two statues were intact, Tainalasta couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They were certainly not ordinary statues, but life dolls, which were closely connected with the main body. If there was any accident on their side, it would be fed back to them as soon as possible.

In addition, it also had the ability of remote communication, which could make a short mental connection with the owner of the life doll.

Unfortunately, this connection was cut off, indicating that the other party was in a special state.

A strong smell of conspiracy surged towards the Crown Princess.

In Tynarasta's memory, this situation only occurred three times, and each time it was when the enemies of the Kingdom of Cormier wove many conspiracies against them.

The higher you stand, the farther you can see, and what you see is different from what ordinary people see.

Ordinary people think that the king only needs to travel around and lie in the palace to enjoy their taxes and offerings, but they don't know that he is the biggest guardian of this country. It is because of his protection that they can enjoy the peaceful life now.

Many strange and powerful enemies cannot be fought by a large number of people, but require top-level forces above legendary to solve them.

Events like the disappearance of Luji Town obviously belong to this category. It is not a simple matter of sending troops to solve it, because to achieve this effect, it will inevitably involve the use of powerful magic, distorting the space around Luji Town to hide it, or directly dragging it into the planes of ether or shadow. Not to mention those ordinary soldiers, even most battle mages are helpless in the face of this situation.

In order to avoid being caught off guard, King Yasan and the Court Mage both handle affairs at different times, and always ensure that one of them is in charge of the Purple Dragon Palace.

If it is necessary and there are important matters to be handled at the same time, the Crown Princess will be notified immediately to take charge of the Purple Dragon Palace instead, instead of being completely in the dark as the Crown Princess, the third person in the Kingdom of Cormier, is like this now.

"Uncle, please follow me." Tainarasta firmly grasped Lord Seob's hand, directly activated the teleportation spell, and returned to the Purple Dragon Palace in Susal.

The Kingdom of Yasan and the Court Mage could not contact each other about this matter, and she needed to confirm it in person, instead of simply listening to Lord Seob's one-sided words.

She is very aware of how many ways to control a person in this world. As long as she wants, she can also use magic to manipulate a person like a puppet, not to mention, there are also things like shapeshifters, amoebas and magical disguises. Wait for a series of means to replace a person.

For many important things, it is best to see, feel or even touch them with your own eyes. Even so, it may not be 100% true. It is possible that your own senses have also been affected by various magic, illusions and other things. Blinded.

There is no problem with Lord Siobo. King Asan and the court mage Fengdahast are not in the Purple Dragon Palace. No one in the entire Purple Dragon Palace knows where they have gone, or even when they are not in the Purple Dragon Palace.

After confirming the matter, Crown Princess dragged Lord Siobo back to Shilp Town, "Uncle, please tell me in detail the information you have."

At this moment, Tynarasta has regained her composure. Panic is the most useless emotion. It will only disrupt her own thinking. Even the most sophisticated conspiracy has traces to follow. She vaguely felt that this matter The matter was not directed at King Yasang or the court mage, but at himself, and Luji Town was the bait to lure him into the situation.

Lord Siobo spread his hands helplessly and said, "That's all the information I have. When I got the news, Luji Town had already disappeared."

"Every news has a source. Who was the first to discover that Luji Town has disappeared?" Crown Princess has rich experience in handling these mysterious affairs, and the source of the news often hides very critical information.

"Who was the first to discover that Luji Town disappeared?" This question made Lord Siobo stunned. After thinking hard for a few minutes, he shook his head and said, "Without the first one, this news would have suddenly appeared in Dadeluk Town. , when I got the news, everyone seemed to know it.”

"There is no first one?" Crown Princess couldn't help but raise her slightly soft thick eyebrows, and a heroic spirit emerged, "This means that someone deliberately sent information to you, and used your hands to pass this matter on. The market town is not on the main commercial road, there are not that many business travelers, and Dadeluk Town and Luji Town are only connected by trails, so even if there is news, it should not be reported to you immediately. "

Tynarasta is now more certain that someone did this deliberately.

"After analysis by Your Highness, this is indeed what happened. What should we do now? We can't just ignore this matter, right?" Lord Siobo's expression changed slightly. He is not stupid. He immediately understood what was going on. Someone was taking advantage of it. His close relationship with King Asan is not a secret in the Kingdom of Cormyr.

Princess Crown did not directly answer Lord Seob's question, but shouted at the door: "General Gavin, please come in, our plan may have changed again."

"What happened?" Gavin just went out to avoid suspicion and did not really go far. The Crown Princess obviously knew this.

"The situation is like this..." After confirming that this matter did not directly conflict with the conqueror's army, the Crown Princess naturally no longer concealed it, but told the truth about the information she had, "What does the general think about this matter? "

"The conspiracy atmosphere in this matter can be smelled even from a few hundred meters away, but I don't know if it is coming for His Highness or for me. Maybe someone doesn't want me to go to Susar." It's not that Gavin is arrogant and thinks that all conspiracies and conspiracies revolve around him, but the timing is too coincidental, just when the Crown Princess welcomes him.

"The general's idea coincides with mine." Crown Princess nodded in agreement, "But this matter is related to the life and death of more than 3,000 people in Luji Town, and I cannot sit idly by and ignore it."

"Your Highness wants to take the initiative to join the game?" Gavin was not too surprised by Crown Princess's decision. She is the crown prince of the Kingdom of Cormyr. This is not only a right, but also a responsibility and obligation, which makes her unable to do so in many cases. Don’t rise to the challenge.

"If you don't join the game, how can you make those rats hiding in the dark take the initiative to reveal themselves?" Tynarasta obviously has her own considerations and plans, "But this matter is my responsibility and obligation, and the general does not need to Intervened, why don't you stay here and wait for a few days, and then come back to meet the general after I finish handling the matter in Luji Town."

"Maybe this is what the other party wants, so that they can defeat them one by one." Gavin shook his head and said, "Not only should we not separate before the identity of the enemy is determined, we also need to clench our fists and be ready to attack the enemy head-on at any time, and I There is a magical equipment called the Insight Gem, which has an effect similar to the True Sight spell. It has a special effect on seeing through illusions and disguises. It may be helpful in finding Luji Town. As long as we can find this missing village and determine its condition, we can Turn passivity into initiative.”

A person's courage is in contrast to his strength. In the past, Gavin would think twice about taking a few steps back when encountering a situation. Now, he was thinking about how to pull out the enemy and flip his car to the ground.

Especially for an enemy who is hiding in the dark and engaging in conspiracy, retreating and avoiding is not the best option. If the enemy's plan fails, he will try another one. He may turn his attention to weak points that you have not even noticed, thus causing irreparable loss.
