Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 1192 - 664: The Oncoming Scent of Conspiracy

"If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have noticed. It turns out that it’s not that the Komeer Kingdom lacks talent, but rather lacks a pair of eyes to discover it," the Crown Princess couldn’t help but self-examine. "The General, relying solely on a travelogue written by someone else, has been able to unearth so much, while I thought I had traveled every corner of Komeer but failed to realize what I’ve missed."

"Everyone has their own way of looking at things, influenced by their personal life experiences. Your Majesty is focusing on my strengths and overlooking my weaknesses; there are many things in which I am not as good as Your Majesty," Gaven consoled, reminding her that being harsh on oneself is not unusual in the royal family, but her self-discipline was truly exceptional.

It was not without reason that the Crown Princess was known as the model of the Komeer royal princesses and widely adored by the Komeer people.

The most frightening thing was that her consistency held true not just in public, but in private as well - she was the same inside and out. Yet such a life tended to be dull, and even as a four-times reincarnated being, Gaven admitted he couldn’t achieve that level; he occasionally indulged himself.

With this incident as a starting point, their conversation inevitably branched into many topics, mostly revolving around commerce and territorial governance.

Gaven had ideas and knowledge from another world that Tainalasta lacked, opening up new doors for the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess, in turn, had a wealth of governance experience Gaven did not possess, from decisions affecting the kingdom to disputes between lords and lieges. She had directly or indirectly handled countless matters over the years, and just taking an example at random proved highly instructive for Gaven.

Without realizing it, their conversation had lasted into the night. Just as they were wrapping up and preparing to rest for a few hours to continue their journey the next day, the voice of a female guard came from outside: "Your Majesty, Earl Seiobo, the Lord of Dedeluke Town, has an urgent matter and requests an audience."

The Crown Princess paused, her eyes flashing with an unmistakable hint of puzzlement, but she immediately replied, "Let him in."

Minutes later, a tall, handsome middle-aged man walked in. He had the most standard square face with a touch of white at his temples, but it did not detract one bit from his charm. On the contrary, it added to his mature allure. His deep, rich voice matched his appearance and instinctively evoked a favorable impression.

Lord Seiobo began by apologizing: "Your Majesty, I regret to disturb you at such a late hour." novelbuddy.cσ๓

"Lord Seiobo, by saying so, you’re being too formal," the Crown Princess greeted him personally. "For you to come here in haste during the night, it must be no small matter. Could you please explain in detail?"

"About that..." Lord Seiobo’s eyes turned to Gaven, indicating it wasn’t convenient to speak further.

"You two talk; I’ll take this opportunity to rest a bit and memorize some spells," Gaven offered to excuse himself.

"Very well," Tainalasta did not insist he stay, as she too was unsure what Lord Seiobo was about to discuss, whether it involved the Conqueror Army, or matters concerning Gaven.

After seeing Gaven off, Lord Seiobo wasted no time speaking up: "Your Majesty, Luji Town has disappeared."

"What do you mean by ’Luji Town has disappeared’?" The fog of confusion over the Crown Princess thickened.

"It’s exactly as it sounds, Luji Town has vanished without a trace. Traveling merchants along the way found no sign of Luji Town, as if it had never existed. I personally made a trip and tried every path, big and small, but saw no hint of Luji Town," Lord Seiobo quickly responded. "Then, I sent three search parties in the direction of Luji Town. Two returned without finding any trace, while the third party disappeared just like Luji Town itself."

As he spoke, Lord Seiobo’s face was full of confusion and disbelief.

Luji Town was not just any small village; it was the largest human settlement in the King’s Forest, one of Komeer Kingdom’s secret defensive lines against the ancient forest.

Originally just a muddy path within the forest, the area was terrorized by roaming trolls and other forest monsters. After clearing the woods to build a camp, which expanded in the wake of victories against trolls and forest creatures, the camp grew into a trading center featuring a fortified garrison and a series of horse-breeding forests, providing the Purple Dragon Knights with plenty of high-quality mounts.

It was the training ground for the Purple Dragon Knights, hence the proverb, "Have you ever seen a charge of the Purple Dragon Knights with lances lowered? Oh, they’re charging out of Luji Town." This later evolved into a common expression in Komeer, "Luji Town is calling," generally used to describe a cavalry charge or the approach of galloping hooves, often the rallying cry of the Purple Dragon Knights before a charge, not for the kingdom, but for Luji Town itself.

Not only did it boast the best Purple Dragon Knights of the Komeer Kingdom, but it also had the great hero Lord Muyin, Ferfa, who once halted a troll raid single-handedly, earning the moniker ’Troll Slayer.’ To this day, his strength is unimaginable, and the legends about him are all about his prodigious might.
