Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 1194 - 664: The Overwhelming Scent of Conspiracy_3

The inability of Yasan Kingdom to contact the Court Archmage compelled her to verify personally rather than simply accepting Lord Seiobo’s word.

She was all too aware of the numerous methods available in this world to control a person; if she wished, she could manipulate someone like a puppet using spells, not to mention various means such as Shapeshift Beasts, Shapeshift Worms, and Magic Disguise to replace someone.

For many significant matters, it’s best to see, feel, and even touch them personally. Even then, it may not guarantee authenticity as one’s senses could also be deceived by magic, illusion techniques, and other phenomena.

Lord Seiobo was not the problem, both King Yasan and the Court Archmage Feng Geda Hast were absent from the Purple Dragon Palace; nobody in the entire palace knew where they had gone, or even when they had left.

Having confirmed this, the Crown Princess pulled Lord Seiobo back to Hilpur Town, "Uncle, please detail the information you have."

At the moment, Tainalasta regained her composure; panic is the most futile emotion, only disturbing one’s thoughts. Even the most intricate conspiracies have traces to follow, and she had a vague feeling that this matter was not aimed at King Yasan or the Court Archmage, but at herself, with Luji Town being the bait to draw her into the scheme.

Lord Seiobo helplessly spread his hands, "These are all the intelligence I have; by the time I received the news, Luji Town had already vanished."

"Every piece of news has its source, who was the first to discover that Luji Town had vanished?" The Crown Princess, experienced in dealing with mysterious affairs, knew the origin of the news often concealed crucial information.

"Who was the first to discover that Luji Town had vanished?" This question made Lord Seiobo pause, ponder for a few minutes, then shake his head, "There wasn’t a first one; the news seemed to suddenly appear in Dedeluke Town, and by the time I received it, it seemed everyone already knew."

"There wasn’t a first one?" The Crown Princess’s finely groomed eyebrows uncontrollably twitched with a surge of valiance, "This means someone deliberately fed the information into your hands to spread this matter through you. Luji Town isn’t on a trade route, there aren’t many merchants, and Dedeluke Town is only connected to it by a small path, even if there were news, it shouldn’t have reached you first."

Tainalasta became more certain that someone had intentionally engineered this situation.

"After your analysis, Your Majesty, it indeed seems so. What do we do now? We can’t just ignore this, can we?" Lord Seiobo’s expression changed slightly; he wasn’t dense, and he quickly understood what was happening, with someone exploiting his close relationship with King Yasan, something that was not a secret in Komeer Kingdom.

The Crown Princess didn’t directly answer Lord Seiobo’s question but called loudly toward the door, "General Gaven, please come in; our plans have likely changed again."

"What has happened?" General Gaven had only stepped out to avoid suspicion and hadn’t gone far; the Crown Princess clearly knew this.

"The situation is as follows..." Since the matter had no direct conflict with the Conqueror Army, the Crown Princess no longer hid her intelligence but reported faithfully, "General, what are your thoughts on this?"

"The scent of conspiracy is so strong, one could smell it even hundreds of meters away, it’s just uncertain whether it’s aimed at Your Majesty or at me, perhaps someone does not wish me to reach Susar." It wasn’t that Gaven was arrogant, thinking all schemes revolved around him, but the timing was too coincidental, just when the Crown Princess was welcoming him.

"The general’s thoughts coincide with my own," the Crown Princess nodded in agreement, "But this matter involves the lives of over three thousand people from Luji Town, I can’t just stand by."

"Does Your Majesty wish to take the initiative?" Gaven wasn’t too surprised by the Crown Princess’s decision; she was the heir to the Komeer Kingdom, a position that was a privilege, but also a duty and obligation, frequently necessitating confronting challenges.

"If we don’t engage, how do we draw those rats hiding in the dark into the light?" Tainalasta obviously had her own considerations and plans, "However, this matter is my responsibility and duty; General, there’s no need for you to get involved. Why don’t you stay here for a few days, and after I handle the situation in Luji Town, I will return and meet with you."

"That might be just what they want, to break us apart easily," Gaven shook his head, "Without identifying the enemy, it is not only inappropriate for us to separate, but we also need to clench our fists, ready to strike the enemy head-on. Besides, I possess a piece of Magic Equipment named Insight Gemstone, which has an effect similar to the True Sight spell, especially useful in detecting illusions and disguises, and it might help in locating the vanished town. Once we ascertain its condition, we can shift from passive to active."

Human courage is proportional to strength; in the past, when Gaven encountered challenges, he might consider stepping back, but now, his thoughts were how to pull the enemy out and fling them to the ground.

Especially with enemies who engage in conspiracies from the shadows, retreating and hiding is not the best option. If one scheme fails, another will follow; they might shift their focus to areas you haven’t noticed, potentially causing irreparable damage.
