Priss had never heard of this name, the border town was only a settlement established because of the mines, and it had nothing to do with the word "city", let alone ranked third? Before His Majesty came to the West, this place could only be called a city, and there was only one fortress of Changge.

But when the group entered the cave at the foot of the mountain on the northern slope, he understood where His Majesty was referring to.

He had always wondered why the Ministry of Construction had built a fortress-like structure in Neverwinter - the location of this important place guarded by the First Army was a bit too strange, with the northern slope of the mountain range in its back, and the east and west sides were a long distance from the border, so it didn't look like it was used to defend against foreign enemies, let alone the castle to defend His Majesty.

He also asked some of his colleagues at the city hall, and the answer was that they did not know, and some people said that even the construction team of that place was under the direct supervision of Minister Karl, and that no one else had the right to intervene. At this point, Prius stopped talking too much, he just mentioned it casually, he didn't want to get himself in trouble.

Unexpectedly, he would personally set foot in this important military place one day.

When he saw the apparently artificially excavated underground passages and the vast cavern complex, Priss was so surprised that he could barely close his jaw.

How the hell did this come about?

A year ago, there was nothing here, but now it seems that the entire mountain has been opened, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a city with such a wide underground space, but ...... Is this something that can be done by humans?

He glanced at His Majesty secretly, and the awe in his heart deepened even more.

Duke Ryan did pick the wrong opponent.

Although the lion has been in charge of the western realm for more than ten years, he has overwhelmed the major families, and has managed the barren frontier land like a monolith, and his skills and strength are impeccable, but ...... He's still human after all.

However, even more shocking was yet to come.

Arriving at a flat, open hall on a trailer, he was surrounded by two men dressed as samurai—guards like this had rarely been seen since the First Army had popularized muskets.

One of them slapped him up and down twice before turning to His Majesty and saying, "Is this really good?"

"Sooner or later, my lords will find out about this, and it is better to accept it slowly than to hide it," Roland replied, "and it is better to start with the officials of the town hall." ”

"Alright then......" The man sighed helplessly, looking up and waving his hand at the dome. Then a black shadow fell from the sky and fell silently in front of everyone.

Price's heart pounded, and he almost didn't scream!

God above, what the hell is this?

Looking at the sarcoma monster covered with tentacles in front of him, he felt a chill down his spine, even if it was a devil from the abyss of hell, it was probably like this! The knight wanted to take two steps back, but found that his feet were no longer obedient, and the only thing that supported him from falling immediately was probably His Majesty, who was still calm.

Then he "heard" a voice.

The soft female voice did not come to her ears, but sounded directly in her head, "Hello, Your Majesty. 」

"Hello, Pasha," Roland smiled, "how are the bugs?"

"The numbers have grown a lot, and as long as there are enough mushrooms, they seem to keep eating. 」

"It seems to be very easy to raise. ”

"Actually, you can leave this matter to us. 」

"When the big war comes, you won't be able to divide so many people, and I have to raise more than a thousand, so it's better to familiarize them with it as soon as possible. ”

Priss watched in amazement as His Majesty and the monster talked and laughed as if they were talking to ordinary subjects, and the monster displayed a respectful attitude, not at all aggressive like the devil - if all the ghosts in the book talked like this, it would not be terrifying.

He took two deep breaths, barely calming his heartbeat a little.

But His Majesty seems to be planning to let him raise something?

And also...... Is this the big secret told by the other party? At the foot of the North Slope Mine, there is such a sensational inhuman anomaly?

His Majesty seemed to see through his thoughts, patted him on the shoulder and said, "This ...... Lady Pasha, who was once a famous lord, was cursed by the devil and became what she is now, but she is still human at heart, and you need not be afraid. ”

"Lord, lord?" Prius was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses.

"That's right," the king sighed, "as you go." ”

Then he heard the incredible story that there was more than one monster like Pasha, who had lived in the wilderness and built their own town four hundred years ago, but had not survived the twin attacks of beasts and demons. Most of them died in the wilderness, and only a few fled to the West. The curse has turned them into monsters and immortal, and they have to live with pain all the time. Now Roland Wimbledon has embraced this group of survivors, both allies against the devil and citizens of the Grey Keep.

"Original...... That's what happened," Prise muttered.

"However, as you can see, their appearance is very reminiscent of bad things, so this matter can only be classified as top secret for the time being, and only a very few people know about it at the moment. Roland paused for a moment and stared, "If it leaks out, you should know the consequences." ”

"The minister will definitely keep his mouth shut, Your Majesty!" Prius quickly emphasized. Although this anecdote was even more incredible than the horror stories in the old grandmother's mouth, at this time he didn't want to care about how much of it was true and how much was false. Your Majesty is what he says, and this is the most basic code of conduct for loyal ministers.

"It's good that you understand," His Majesty nodded.

Sarcoma Monster ...... No, it was the Ancient Lord Pasha who led everyone through a long passage, turned around and said, "Here we are. 」

In front of the knight was a huge cavern, the bare underground suddenly becoming alive, not to mention the plants and underground landscapes that he had never seen before, and the huge insects crawling among the mushroom bushes alone were enough to keep his eyes peeled.

Probably because of too much stimulation for a while, Prius found that he was not so scared.

"That's what it is...... Do you want something for me to raise?"

His Majesty seemed to have been paying attention to his expression, and finally nodded with satisfaction at this moment, "Yes, it is called a rubber worm, and it can secrete an extremely versatile industrial material, and its significance is no less than that of poultry meat and egg food. The expedition found it in the depths of the Daisetsuza Mountains and brought the new species back, but unfortunately it could only survive underground, so it was temporarily put under the care of the survivors living in the Third Frontier City. Speaking of this, the other party changed the topic, "I heard that you raise a lot of earthworms in order to raise chickens and ducks, right?"

"Uh...... Yes," it took Prius a long time to keep up with His Majesty's train of thought, "that would reduce their foraging area, and the fowl would grow much faster." ”

"And raising these bugs is no different from earthworms - I don't mean the method of raising, but the essence," Roland raised his foot and kicked over a rubber worm lying on the mushroom, which reacted when he fell to the ground, dragging his huge belly into the depths of the grass, "They are not aggressive, their favorite food is these mushrooms, although they are big, but they are extremely timid, you don't have to worry about it biting you, just collect the mucus in their stomachs regularly." ”

"Sticky ...... liquid?"

"Have you ever seen a cow? The cow is not the point, the focus is what it produces. ”

"You mean, squeeze it out?"

"If you can find a way to squeeze it, that's fine," Roland smiled silently, "but as I said, bugs aren't the point, and sometimes it's faster to kill them and take them again." Anyway, they reproduce much faster than chickens, ducks, and cows. ”

For some reason, Prius shuddered, and he had a vague feeling that His Majesty didn't like these insects that were vital to industry.

It's just that this feeling flashed, and the other party returned to his usual tone in the blink of an eye, "This book records some of the habits of rubber insects," he handed over a booklet wrapped in a hard cowhide cover, "You can compare and study it, and then see if there is any way to make them grow quickly and make it easy to collect." I hope to see results this month. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty," Priss swallowed, taking the booklet, "but if I'm alone......"

"The First Army stationed here will assist you," Roland smiled, "do your job, and you will be featured at this year's ceremony." ”
