Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 1203 - 667: Secret Hunting Sect_3

"I’ve heard of such situations as well, but the followers of Meira had already withdrawn from Komeer many years ago, and there were no direct conflicts between the two sides. How could they suddenly delve deep into the King’s Forest and carry out such a special supreme hunt here?" The Crown Princess had an undeniable look of perplexity in her expression.

Before coming to Luji Town, both she and Gaven firmly believed that the disappearances in Luji Town were a conspiracy, a plot against the Crown Princess, and possibly even against Gaven, designed to prevent Gaven from going to Surrasa to be granted the title of Rockland Duke by King Yasan.

The instigators of this conspiracy were most likely some of the Barons and Nobles of Komeer Kingdom, and perhaps even colluding with the Sambiyan Kingdom and the Eight City Alliance of the Giant Dragon Coast.

But the way things were unfolding now was completely beyond their expectations, not simply a true dream of a deity, but the involvement of Meira and her followers, which felt like an incongruous mixing of different matters.

Gaven did not directly answer Tainalasta’s question, but instead asked, "How much do you know about the Secret Hunting Sect?"

"Secret Hunting Sect?" The Crown Princess couldn’t help but be startled and said, "Do you suspect that the Secret Hunting Sect is a hunting group of Meira’s Sect?"

"At least one person of Komeer Nobility bloodline has to be sacrificed every year, their sacrifice revives the earth and ensures the prosperity of the King’s Forest. The offering does not need to be willing, much like a stag, to be chased and killed by the believers in the King’s Forest on a moonlit night. Don’t you find this ritual strikingly familiar?" Gaven was referring to the sacrificial ceremony of the Secret Hunting Sect.

The source of this information, as usual, came from Mage Valo’s ’Valo’s Travels’ in the Komeer Chapter. This Mage Valo was cursed by countless as having a nose of a dog not without reason; he even dug out such confidential messages.

The Secret Hunting Sect, just by hearing its name, one could tell that this was not a public organization but a highly secretive society, and illegal at that – how could King Yasan possibly allow such an organization within his Kingdom?

Let’s not discuss whether their beliefs and practices have any basis or effectiveness.

Even if they do work, they often become tools in the hands of conspirators, used to eliminate dissenters and execute hostile nobles – indeed, it’s the Komeer Kingdom’s own Royals and Nobles who are maintaining this secret society from behind the scenes.

"That’s simply a perverted form of the supreme hunt," with Gaven’s prompt, the Crown Princess connected all the information, "Someone among the Komeer Nobility is colluding with Meira’s Followers to sacrifice me?"

"That is the best explanation I can think of." Gaven chuckled coldly, "For wealth and benefits, they would even sell their souls to the devil, so what is it to them to cooperate with an Evil Deity? After all, the prey killed in such supreme hunts cannot be revived, because their souls become the trophies of the Beast King, unless someone has the power to snatch the souls back from him."

If something untoward happened to Your Majesty, the entire Komeer Kingdom would be plunged into turmoil, probably with no time to think about cooperating with the Conqueror Army anymore.

If they could take me out as well, it would be even better, the Conqueror Army would be leaderless, not only would the entire Goblin Margins be at their mercy, but even the Conqueror Path opened by the Conqueror Army would become their spoils – a deal that’s profitable in every way...

At the end of his analysis, Gaven fell silent.

Because he realized that not only would this benefit the Barons and Nobles of Komeer Kingdom, but it would also be extremely advantageous for the Obysque Royal Family as well. They would not need to pay Rocklands as a price and could even gain much more from it, completely devouring everything created by the Conqueror Army.

And there was another doubt in all this: the simultaneous disappearance of King Yasan and the Court Archmage. There are far too few enemies in this world worthy of their combination. The former has the power to withstand the ancient Giant Dragons, while the latter is among the top ten Legendary Mages in the whole of Felen and could take a bath in magma or drink tea in space – the likelihood that they both stumbled and disappeared at the same time is too slim.

But what if they are the masterminds themselves, the ones who arranged the whole scenario?

If from the very beginning, this was a trap laid by Komeer Kingdom for himself, then what role did the Crown Princess play in all this? Was she kept in the dark? Or has she been a participant all along?

If it’s the latter, then her acting skills are truly terrifying, not even one-tenth of an Oscar-winning actress.

The Crown Princess was extremely astute. Following Gaven’s analysis and her subsequent performance, she immediately deduced the rest, affirming with absolute certainty, "This is definitely not a trap laid by Father King and Archmage for the General. We are not that foolish, even if we use Meira’s power to achieve this, we would still incur the wrath of Lady Strategy; Your Majesty could not have failed to reach the correct conclusion."

Moreover, for us, the most valuable aspect of the Conqueror Army is not the army itself, not the series of glories they created along their path, but you, the General who formed the Conqueror Army. Without you, there would be no Conqueror Army, no Conqueror Path, and no City of Faith.

You are the most dazzling jewel. If the General could join Komeer Kingdom, it would open up unlimited possibilities. Compared to these possibilities, what does the little Goblin Margins count for?"

"Haha... I was overthinking it," Gaven’s aggressive stance involuntarily paused, and he laughed heartily, "I did not expect Your Majesty to think so highly of me. I just fear that I might fail to meet your expectations and stop at my current achievements."

"Two days ago, I had such worries," the Crown Princess pointed to her eyes, meaning she trusts what she sees, "Now, my concern is whether Komeer Kingdom will be able to keep up with the General’s pace of advance in the future."
