Chapter 843: Code of Conduct for Loyal Ministers

Prius had never heard of this name. Border Town was just a settlement built for the mines, and it didn't fit the word "city" at all, let alone ranked third? Before His Majesty came to the Western Region, there was only one Changsong Fortress that could be called a city.

But when a group of people entered the cave at the foot of the North Slope, he realized what His Majesty was referring to.

He had always been curious about why the Ministry of Construction wanted to build a fortress-like building in Neverwinter City—the location of this important place guarded by the First Army is a bit too weird, with its back against the North Slope Mountain Range and the east and west sides facing each other. There is a long distance from the border, so it doesn't look like it is used to defend against foreign enemies, let alone defend His Majesty's castle.

He also asked some colleagues in the city hall, and the answer was that he didn't know. Some people said that even the construction team in that area was directly under the jurisdiction of Minister Karl, and other people had no right to ask. At this point, Prius stopped talking too much, he just mentioned it casually, and he didn't want to get himself into trouble.

Unexpectedly, he would one day set foot on this important military site in person.

When he saw the obviously man-made underground passages and the huge group of caves, Price was so surprised that he could hardly close his jaw.

How the hell did this get dug out?

A year ago, there was nothing here, but now it seems that the entire mountain has been opened up. Such a vast underground space, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a city, but... can this be done by human power?

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

Duke Lane did pick the wrong opponent.

Although the lion has dominated the western region for more than ten years and has managed the barren border land like a monolith, with impeccable skills and strength, but... he is still human after all.

However, what shocked the Elk Rider even more was yet to come.

After arriving in a flat and open hall in a trailer, two people dressed as warriors surrounded them—since the First Army popularized muskets, it was rare to see such a guard.

One of them hit him twice before turning his head and said to His Majesty, "Is this really okay?"

"Sooner or later, my citizens will know about this matter. Instead of blindly concealing it, it is better to accept it slowly," Roland replied, "Let's start with the officials of the city hall."

"Okay..." The man sighed helplessly, raised his head and waved his hands towards the dome. Then a black shadow descended from the sky, silently falling in front of everyone.

Price's heart jumped so hard that he almost couldn't cry out!

By gods, what the hell is this?

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

Then he "heard" a voice.

The soft female voice didn't come to my ears, but sounded directly in my mind, "Hello, Your Majesty."

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

"The number has increased quite a bit, and as long as there are enough mushrooms, they seem to keep eating them."

"It looks pretty good."

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

"When the war comes together, you won't be able to divide so many people, and I will raise more than a few hundred. It's better to let them get familiar with it earlier."

Prius stared dumbfounded at His Majesty talking and laughing with the monster, as if talking to ordinary subjects, and the attitude shown by the monster was quite respectful, not aggressive like a devil at all—if all the ghosts in the book were If you talk like this, it won't be frightening.

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

But what does His Majesty seem to want him to raise? insect?

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

As if seeing through his thoughts, His Majesty patted him on the shoulder and said, "This... Ms. Pasha was once a famous lord. Still human, you have nothing to fear."

"Lord, lord?" Prius was stunned for a moment before recovering.

"That's right," the king sighed, "Let's talk as we go."

Then he heard an unbelievable story. There were more than one monster like Pasha. Four hundred years ago, they lived in the wilderness and built their own towns, but in the end they were unable to defeat the dual forces of evil beasts and devils. invasion. Most of them died in the wilderness, and only a few fled to the west. The curse turned them into monsters and made them immortal, always living in pain. Now Roland Wimbledon has accepted this group of survivors. They are not only allies against the devil, but also citizens under the rule of Graycastle.

"So...that's what happened," Price murmured.

"However, you have also seen that their appearance is easily associated with 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." Roland paused for a moment, his eyes fixed, "If it leaks out, you should know the consequences."

"I will absolutely keep my mouth shut, Your Majesty!" Price emphasized hastily. Although this anecdote was even more unimaginable than the horror stories told by the old grandma, at this moment he didn't want to care about how much of it was true and how much was false. What His Majesty says is what he says, this is the most basic code of conduct for loyal ministers.

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

The tumor monster... No, it was the ancient lord Pasha who led everyone through a long passage, then turned around and said, "We have arrived."

What unfolded in front of the knight was another huge cave, and the bare ground suddenly became alive. Not to mention the unprecedented plants and underground landscapes, just the huge worms crawling around among the mushroom bushes are enough to Enough to make him stare.

Probably because he was stimulated too much for a while, Prius found that he was not so afraid.

"This is... what do you want me to raise?"

His Majesty the King seemed to have been paying attention to his expression, and finally nodded with satisfaction at this moment, "Yes, it is called a rubber worm, which can secrete a kind of industrial material with a wide range of uses, and its significance is no less than that of poultry and eggs. It was discovered in the depths of the snow-capped mountains, and this new species was brought back, but unfortunately it can only survive underground, so it was temporarily taken care of by survivors living in the third border city." Speaking of which, the other party changed the subject , "I heard that you specially raised a lot of earthworms in order to raise chickens and ducks, right?"

"Uh...yes," Price took a long time to catch up with His Majesty's train of thought, "This will reduce their foraging area, and the poultry will grow much faster."

"And raising these worms is no different from earthworms—I'm not talking about the feeding method, but the essence," Roland kicked over a rubber worm lying on the mushroom, and the latter reacted only when it fell to the ground, dragging With their huge belly, they crawled into the depths of the grass, "They are not aggressive, and their favorite food is these mushrooms. Although they are big in size, they are extremely timid. You don't have to worry about them biting you, just collect the mushrooms in their stomachs regularly. Slime is fine."

"Slime... fluid?"

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

"You mean, push it out?"

"If you can find a way to squeeze, that would be the best," Roland smiled silently, "but as I said, the bugs are not the point, sometimes it's faster to kill them and get them again. Anyway, they multiply quickly." Much faster than chickens, ducks and cows."

For some reason, Price suddenly shuddered. He faintly felt that His Majesty didn't like these insects that were vital to industry.

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

"Yes, Your Majesty," Price swallowed, and took the booklet, "but if it's just me..."

"The First Army stationed here will assist you," Roland said with a smile. "Work hard, and you will have a seat at this year's award ceremony."
