"If you don't say it, I really haven't noticed that it's not that our Cormier Kingdom lacks talents, but that it lacks a pair of eyes to discover talents." Princess Crown couldn't help but reflect on herself, "The general can dig up so many things with just a travelogue written by someone else, I think I've traveled all over Cormier's nooks and crannies, but I didn't expect to miss so much." ”

"Everyone has a different way of looking at things, which can be determined by personal life experience, Your Highness just looks at my strengths, but does not see my weaknesses, I am not as good as Your Highness in many places." Gavin enlightened that this Cormier prince has reached a harsh level of requirements for himself, and in the royal family, this kind of discipline before others is not uncommon, but unique.

It is not for nothing that the crown princess is known as the model of the princess of the Cormir kingdom and is widely loved by the Cormier people.

The most terrifying thing is that she is not just like this in front of people, but also after people, she is the same on the outside and inside as she is, but in this way, life is a lot boring and boring, even if she is a human being in the fourth life, Gavin thinks that she can't do it to this extent, and occasionally there will be times when she indulges herself.

With this incident as an introduction, there are undoubtedly a lot more topics for the two, most of which revolve around commerce and territorial governance.

Gavin has a brain that Tenarasta doesn't have, and knowledge borrowed from another world, and opens new doors for Princess Crown.

The crown princess has a wealth of governance experience that Gavin does not have, from the decision-making and governance of the kingdom to the settlement of disputes between lords and lords, who have passed directly or indirectly through her over the years, I don't know how many, just give an example, which makes Gavin feel very useful.

Before they knew it, the conversation between the two was already late at night, and just as the two of them were finishing the conversation and preparing to relax for a few hours so that they could continue their journey tomorrow, a voice from the close female guard came from outside: "Your Highness, Sir Theob, the lord of Dadruk Town, said that there is an urgent need to see you. ”

The crown princess was obviously stunned for a moment, and a trace of unconcealed doubt flashed in her eyes, and she said as soon as possible: "Please let him in." ”

A few minutes later, a tall and handsome middle-aged man walked in, he had the most standard Chinese face, and his sideburns already had strands of white hair, but it did not reduce his plumpness in the slightest, on the contrary, he had the unique charm of a mature man, with a deep and deep voice that matched his appearance, which made people can't help but feel good.

Lord Theob immediately pleaded guiltily and said, "I've seen Your Highness, I'm really sorry to disturb you late at night." ”

"Lord Theob, you're too much of an outsider to say that." Princess Crown greeted her in person, "It's definitely not a trivial matter that makes you run back and forth overnight, can you tell me in detail." ”

"This ......" Lord Theob's gaze fell on Gavin's body, and it was inconvenient to say more.

"You guys talk, it's been a day of traveling, I'll go back and rest for a while, and memorize spells by the way." Gavin took the initiative to avoid suspicion.

"It's fine." Tenarasta didn't rush to stay, because she didn't know what Lord Theob was going to say, whether it would involve the army of conquerors and Gavin.

After sending Gavenmu away, there was no need for Princess Crown's question a second time, and Lord Theob took the initiative to speak: "Your Highness, Luji Town has disappeared. ”

"What does it mean that Luji Town is gone?" The fog on the crown princess's head was even thicker.

"It's literal, Luji Town disappeared out of thin air, when the past business trips along the way, I didn't see the shadow of Luji Town, as if there was no village and town at all, I personally ran a trip, all the big roads and trails were tried, and I didn't see the shadow of Luji Town." Lord Theob replied quickly, "Then I sent three waves of search soldiers in the direction where Luji Town was located, and two of them came back smoothly, but no trace of Luji Town was found, and one of them disappeared like Luji Town. ”

When he said this, Lord Theob himself was full of doubts.

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

Initially, it was a muddy forest trail where wandering trolls and forest monsters preyed, but a camping camp was created by deforestation, which expanded as the war against trolls and forest monsters was won, and eventually developed into a forest trading 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 used to be the place where the Purple Dragon Knight conducted actual combat training, so there was a later proverb "Have you ever seen a Purple Dragon Knight charge with a spear down?" Oh, and they're rushing out of Luji Town. Later, it became the popular phrase "Luji Town is calling" in Cormier, which is used to describe the sound of horseback charging or rumbling approaching horses' hooves, and many of the purple dragon knights shouted slogans before charging are not for the kingdom, but for Luji Town calling us.

Not only is it home to the best Purple Dragon Knight in the Cormier Kingdom, but it also has the greatest warrior, the Wood Seal Lord Felfa, who single-handedly repelled a troll attack and earned a reputation as a troll slayer.

The most common legend is that the Lord of the Wood Seal once intercepted a cart full of fleeing thieves, he single-handedly blocked two horses that were pulling the cart and galloped, and then lifted them off the ground, forcing the carriage to come to an abrupt stop, and then, he laid down the two poor animals, tore off the reins like a spider's web, and cut them off the horse, the thieves drew their weapons and stabbed him through the carriage, the Lord of the Wood Seal just calmly grabbed the carriage and threw it across a field of farmland, and let it roll all the way until it came to a stop. The dizzy thieves were also thrown out of the car, and in the process of capturing the thieves, one of the thieves tried to swing his sword to resist, but the Lord of the Wood Seal bent the sword into a semicircle, and then sandwiched the thief under one of his arms, and continued to chase after the others, striding like flying without any impact.

As for those who drew their swords in the Silver Akiba Inn, where the Lord of the Wood Seal liked to drink for casual drinking, and were thrown out of the inn door by him, it was a common occurrence.

Because the reputation of the Lord of the Wood Seal and the Purple Dragon Knight led by him is too prominent, on the contrary, the battle mages stationed here are a little unknown, as the core point of supervising the forests of the entire kingdom, there are not only a large number of war mages here, but also the strength is usually good, at least a few extraordinary peak battle mages are on duty here.

The silent disappearance of such a powerful town is not a trivial matter even in the Kingdom of Cormier.

Princess Crown said with a solemn expression: "Since the matter is so serious, why don't you report to Your Majesty as soon as possible?" ”

Although the town of Dedruk, ruled by Lord Theob, is a town of less than a thousand people, he has a very close relationship with King Ahsan, and this relationship dates back to when the two were hairy boys, and they once ventured together in the Fair Destiny Freedom Adventure Party, which had tamed most of the Land of Thun (i.e., the Goblin Frontier Wasteland north of Thun Marsh) and the Rocklands, but unfortunately this taming was at the level of killing by force, rather than being included in the rule.

If it weren't for his temperament, Lord Theob would definitely not be an idle lord in a remote area, and there would definitely be a place for him in the royal council chamber.

And this is the cleverness of Lord Theob, although he gave up his political future, but in exchange for the longevity of his friendship with King Ahsan, he went in and out of the Purple Dragon King's Palace as if he was in and out of the back garden of his own home, and when Princess Crown was young, she often listened to the wonderful adventures of Lord Theob.

Lord Theob's expression became more serious, and he replied, "Your Majesty is not in the palace, and Your Excellency the Archmage cannot be contacted, so I can only contact Your Highness as soon as possible. ”

"Both of them are not in the royal court at the same time." Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Princess Crown immediately took out two palm-sized statuettes, one wearing purple knight's armor exuding the aura of a king, and the other was a luxurious but unconventional archmage robe exuding a mysterious aura, which looked exactly like King Ahsan and the court archmage Von Gedahast respectively.

Seeing that the two figurines were intact, Tynara couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, of course they are not ordinary figurines, but the puppets of life, and there is a close connection with the main body, if there is any accident on their side, they will be the first to feedback to this.

In addition to this, it also has the ability to communicate remotely, allowing for a brief psychic connection with the owner of the Puppet of Life.

It is a pity that this connection was severed, indicating that the other party is in a special situation.

A strong aura of intrigue poured towards the crown princess.

In Teylasta's memory, this had only happened three times, and each time it had been when the enemies of the Cormier Kingdom had conspired against them.

The higher you stand, the farther you look, and at the same time you see things that are not the same as what ordinary people see.

Ordinary people think that the king only needs to travel the mountains and rivers and lie in the palace to enjoy their taxes and offerings, but they do not know that he is the greatest guardian of the country, and it is because of his guardianship that they can enjoy the peaceful life they have now.

Many strange and powerful enemies are not something that can be fought against by a large number of people, but can only be solved by top-level martial arts above the legendary level.

Incidents like the disappearance of Luji Town obviously belong to this category, and it is not something that can be solved by simply sending an army, because in order 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 mages are helpless in the face of this situation.

In order not to be caught off guard, King Yasan and the archmage of the court both staggered their affairs, and will always ensure that there is a person sitting in the Purple Dragon Palace.

If it is forced to do so, and at the same time there is an important matter to deal with, then the crown princess will be notified as soon as possible and she will sit in the purple dragon palace on her behalf, instead of being completely in the dark as the crown princess who is the third person in the Cormier Kingdom as she is now.

"Uncle, please come with me." Tynarasta firmly grasped the hand of Lord Theob and directly launched the teleportation technique, returning to the Purple Dragon King's Palace in Susar.

The Kingdom of Asan was unable to contact the Archmage of the Court, and she needed to confirm it herself, not just listen to Lord Theob's words.

She knew too well how many ways there were in the world to control a person, and she could manipulate them like a marionette with spells if she wanted to, not to mention, a host of means such as shapeshifters, amoebas, and magical disguises to replace a person.

Many important things are best seen, felt or even touched with your own eyes, and even if this is the case, it is not necessarily 100% true, and it is possible that your own senses are also blinded by all kinds of magic, illusions and other things.

There is no problem with Lord Theober, King Yasan and the court archmage Von Gedahast are not in the Purple Dragon Palace, and no one in the entire Purple Dragon Palace knows where they went, not even when they are not in the Purple Dragon Palace.

After confirming this matter, Princess Crown dragged Lord Theob back to Hilp Town, "Uncle, please tell me more about the information you have. ”

At this moment, Tainarasta has regained her composure, panic is the most useless emotion, it will only disturb her train of thought, even the most meticulous conspiracy is traceable, she vaguely feels that this matter is not for King Ahsan or the archmage of the court, but for herself, and Luji Town is the bait to lure herself into the game.

Lord Theob said helplessly: "That's all the information I have, and when I got the news, Luji Town had already disappeared. ”

"Any news has a source, who was the first to find out that Luji Town had disappeared?" The Crown Princess is very experienced in dealing with these mysterious matters, and the source of the news often hides very crucial information.

"Who was the first to notice that Luji Town had disappeared?" This question made Lord Cyob stunned, and after pondering for a few minutes, he shook his head and said, "Without the first one, this news seems to have suddenly appeared in Dadruk Town, and when I got the news, it seems that everyone already knows about it. ”

"Don't have the first?" Princess Crown couldn't help but pick up her slightly soft thick eyebrows, and a heroic spirit emerged, "This shows that someone deliberately sent information to you, and with the help of your hands, Luji Town is not on a commercial artery, there are not so many business travelers, and Dadeluke Town and Luji Town are only connected by a trail, even if there is news, it should not be the first time it reaches you." ”

Tenarasta was now more certain that someone had done it on purpose.

"After His Highness's analysis, this is indeed the case, what should we do now? You can't just ignore it, can you? Lord Theob's expression changed slightly, he was not stupid, and he instantly understood what was going on, someone was taking advantage of his close relationship with King Asan, and this matter was not a secret in the Cormier Kingdom.

The crown princess did not directly answer Lord Theob's question, but shouted at the door: "General Gavin, please come in, we are afraid that our plans have changed again." ”

"What's going on?" Gavin had only gone out to avoid suspicion before, and hadn't really gone far, and Princess Crown obviously knew that.

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

"The smell of conspiracy in this matter, even if it is a few hundred meters away, I just don't know if it is 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 the intrigues revolve around him, but that the timing is too coincidental, and it's just the time for Princess Crown to greet him.

"The general's thoughts coincide with mine." Princess Crown nodded approvingly, "But this matter is a matter of life and death for more than 3,000 people in Luji Town, and I can't sit idly by." ”

"Your Highness wants to take the initiative to enter the game?" Gavin was not too surprised by the decision of the crown princess, she was the prince of the Cormir Kingdom, which was both a right and a duty and obligation, and she had to face difficulties many times.

"If you don't enter the game, how can you let those rats hiding in the shadows take the initiative to show their figures?" Tenarasta obviously has her own considerations and plans, "But this matter is my responsibility and obligation, and the general does not need to intervene, so it is better for you to stay here and wait for a few days, and then come back to meet the general after I have dealt with the affairs of Luji Town." ”

"Maybe this is what the other party wants, so that they can break it individually." Gavin shook his head and said, "Not only should we not be separated until we are sure of the enemy's identity, but we also need to clench our fists and be ready to attack the enemy head-on at any time, and I have a magical equipment called the Insight Gem, which has a similar effect to the True Gaze spell, and has special effects on recognizing illusions and disguises, maybe to help in finding Luji Town, as long as we can find this vanished village and town, we can turn passive into active if we can determine its condition." ”

People's courage is in contrast to strength, in the past, Gavin would weigh when he encountered something, whether to take a few steps back, now he is thinking about how to pull out the enemy, and the car overturned to the ground.

Especially for this kind of enemy who hides in the dark and engages in intrigues, it is not the best choice to retreat and dodge, and the other party will come back if they can't make a plan, and maybe they will turn their attention to the weak points that you have not noticed, thus causing irreparable losses.
