Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 1195 - 665: Wherever I Go, Business Follows

"If the General has said so, it would be impolite for me to refuse. I do want to see who dares to pull such tricks on my turf. Gather the team immediately and we can discuss the rest on the way," the Crown Princess proclaimed with fervent self-assurance, rooted in her own ability as well as the might of the Komeer Kingdom.

If those rats were to remain obediently in their burrows, they might still survive within the Komeer Kingdom, but once they climb out to stir up trouble, their eradication will be inevitable. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Both the Crown Princess and King Yasan have zero tolerance for such misconduct.

As for safety concerns regarding King Yasan and the Court Archmage, they are not considered by the Crown Princess, for if they cannot handle a situation with their prowess, neither can she. Rather than dwelling on these futile concerns, it is better to focus on the present.

Both Gaven and Tainalasta lead the cream of the crop; even when summoned abruptly in the dead of night, it took less than half an hour from issuing the command to setting off on the road to Dedeluke Town.

Instead of heading straight to the site of the incident at Luji Town, Gaven and Tainalasta unanimously agree that the source of information is crucial for such a missing case investigation. They might be able to trace important clues based on the scantest of evidence.

The fact that Lord Seiobo has failed to notice does not mean they won’t be able to uncover anything.

Originally, Gaven and the team intended to divert through Hilpur Town to Spiketail Lion’s Path and cross through King’s Forest directly to Susar City. Now, they have to continue along the Karantal Path for over eighty kilometers, turning south before reaching the largest internal river in the Komeer Kingdom, the Starwave River, and entering Starwave Path. Dedeluke Town is situated precisely where it meets the Ranger’s Path, forming a genuine forest town.

The Komeer Kingdom holds a distinctive title—the Forest Kingdom—as its lands were once part of the vast Comanso Great Forest, once engulfed by dense ancient forests, which began to recede as humans settled there.

Still, these ancient forests cover a third of the kingdom, with the largest portion being the King’s Forest, also known as the King’s Forest, at the very core of the Komeer Kingdom.

Centuries ago, the Obysque Royal Family instituted strict King’s Forest Conservation Laws, forbidding private logging and unauthorized hunting in the King’s Forest. Those found cutting trees privately faced fines, tree replanting or, in severe cases, a cruel punishment where they would be bound inside a tree to become Tree Demons, eternally atoning for their selfish acts—a punishment allegedly inspired by the Fae Race to penalize those who desecrated the forest, thus giving rise to the existence of Tree Spirits.

"The King’s Forest is the greatest treasure of our Komeer Kingdom, serving both as a natural strategic depth and our granary, supporting us through the rare famines and turmoils in Komeer’s history, with Luji Town being the most crucial hub," she asserted.

Its additional function acts as a barrier, confining the creatures from the Monster Tribe born in the Stormhorn Mountains to the mountain range, or forcing them to seek expansion on the other side, rather than flooding into the kingdom.

The Crown Princess has a more official explanation for the royal conservation of the King’s Forest—it’s a strategic national consideration, the needs of the ordinary people are unfortunately overlooked, despite the resultant public grievances.

"I’ve learned something new," Gaven expressed his disapproval towards this uniform approach, finding the methods of the Komeer Royal Family somewhat brute and simple. With more effort, there would surely be more harmonious development methods. In his future domain, he definitely wouldn’t adopt such crude tactics.

By the time the group reached Dedeluke Town, the sun was directly overhead, and its identity as a forest town didn’t feel distinct.

The locale was picturesque, with log cabins nestled among thick trees, each with tiny gardens and small patches of vegetables outside, radiant sunlight filtering through forest gaps casting dappled shadows all over, with melodious birds flitting carelessly overhead, unafraid of people. The ancient trees, covered in green moss telling of their age, perfectly blended the ethereal beauty of Elves with the homely presence of Humans.

Around the village lay several small marshes created by the overflowing Starwave River, catching Gaven’s interest were the massive storks wandering freely through the village. They stood taller than an adult with sharp beaks a meter long, topped with striking red. "

Noticing Gaven’s gaze, Lord Seiobo explained, "These large storks are known as Swamp Giant Storks. Despite their size, they are very gentle and do not attack humanoid creatures. It is said they were introduced from abroad, but their origin is unknown. They prefer eating snakes and rodents over fish. Since they arrived, our village hasn’t had any snake or rodent problems. Their eggs, simply boiled in water, are a delicacy so unforgettable that they’ve been fervently sought after by numerous nobles in the Royal Capital, Susar, fetching a price of one Gold Coin each. Their meat can also be made into several delicious dishes, no less remarkable than their eggs."
