Chapter 648 Stealing the Country
Because the Kingdom of Farmus is located in an important place between the Western countries and the Eastern countries, it borders the Jura Forest. In fact, the place where Timoy fainted was already very close to the exit of the forest. Tong Gu could sense it a little bit. , and found the exit.
Because the Kingdom of Farmus is a commercial gateway, it has become one of the strongest powers competing among the Western countries.
But recently, this kingdom with a population of nearly 40 million has once again fallen into turmoil.
Almost everyone noticed the fact that the monsters in the Jura Forest seemed to have begun to change.
The results obtained after the investigation were difficult for many people to accept.
[Storm Dragon Veldra] seems to have completely disappeared.
Without the Jura Forest suppressed by natural disasters, monsters will begin to move at will, and their magic power will gradually decrease.
Together with the Dragon Mountains, it once formed a natural barrier that hindered commercial exchanges between the east and west continents, and will gradually disintegrate.
From then on, countless merchants who took risks for huge profits would choose to cross the Jura Forest in order to avoid the heavy taxes of the Kingdom of Farmus.
What’s even more frightening is that once someone succeeds, it will set off a trend and eventually even open up a new business path.
The thought of free trade without the ability to collect taxes makes everyone in the Farmus Kingdom shudder.
Therefore, a war that is bound to happen has begun to brew in this kingdom at this moment.
The adventurers who were part of the combat organization immediately noticed the strange atmosphere.
First of all, there has been a surge in investigation missions into the Great Jura Forest and the so-called Monster Federation. Almost all members can take them, and the mission rewards are generous.
Secondly, the knights of the kingdom have been fully mobilized.
It was in this atmosphere that Timui and Tong Gu, who called himself Gandalf, returned to the kingdom.
Arriving in this unknown town, all the adventurers were in a hurry, which made Timuyi, who was struggling with how to explain Ojinga's disappearance, secretly relieved.
When she returned to the Adventurer's Guild, she just said that Ojinga stayed in the Jura Forest, and no one paid attention to her anymore.
In fact, there are a large number of adventurers preparing to enter the big forest at this moment.
But there are also many people who are worried because they are afraid of those powerful monsters.
Timoy escaped from the guild and saw that the unusually tall old mage had not left. He was just standing at the entrance of the guild, looking at the bustling but somewhat chaotic town.
She rushed over and said
"Mr. Gandalf, how is our town? Is it very prosperous?"
Tong Gu nodded, but then he sighed and said
"It is indeed a popular place, but it's a pity..."
"What's a pity?"
Timoy doesn't understand.
"It's a pity that I met a foolish king."
Tong Gu didn't have much interest in this town. What he was interested in was actually the summoning circle that the Kingdom of Farmus would open in order to cope with the upcoming war.
To be precise, it was the three aliens summoned from it.
As a summoned visitor from another world, you will gain unique special abilities when you enter this world.
From Tong Gu's point of view, this kind of person is a very rare experimental material.
At the same time, because the demon kings in this world basically control their own territory, if I want to go further in this world and talk to the demon kings who rule the top of the world, a territory and strong strength are necessary.
The Kingdom of Farmus, which is adjacent to the Jura Forest in Rimuru, just meets Tong Gu's needs.
Moreover, this kingdom is far away from the Eastern Empire, which is actually the strongest human force at the moment. With Rimuru, the protagonist of the Proud Sky series, standing in front of it, Tong Gu can develop with peace of mind.
Timuyi heard that there was a hidden bad meaning in the words of the old mage Gandalf, and she couldn't help but ask.
"You mean our king?"
Tong Gu leaned on the staff, which was taller than Timu Yi, and turned around and walked in the direction where the knights were marching.
Said to Tim Yi behind him
"Timui, take your mother and leave, and never join the army of this kingdom."
Tim Yi was puzzled and wanted to ask more questions, but Tong Gu took a step forward and appeared hundreds of meters away. After just a few steps, there was no trace.
——
In the royal city, Archbishop Resim of the Western Holy Religion has successfully convinced the king. Because he believes that the Western Holy Religion has designated the Monster Federation as an enemy country, and also despises monsters, the Kingdom of Farmus decided to personally send troops to eradicate this monster that affects itself. The financial monster federation.
A huge magic circle was spread out on the outskirts of the royal city, with hundreds of monks and mages arrayed in formation, constantly chanting spells.
Intense magic energy gathered in the sky above the magic circle.
Tong Gu watched this scene from a distance. The person responsible for presiding over the summoning ceremony was the famous great magician in the kingdom, Razan.
This person has short gray hair, wears a purple robe, and holds a slender staff.
Tong Gu knew that this person had the special ability to seize other people's bodies, and relied on this ability to keep himself alive and obtain other people's special abilities.
In a sense, it is similar to the Matou Zouken in [Fate World].
But this kind of insect-like character can only survive underground in the dark, which is meaningless to the truly strong.
Tong Gu turned around with a sneer and walked into the palace from the main entrance majestically.
None of the knights guarding the palace showed any reaction.
They observed no trace at all.
Even the induction magic was not activated.
Tong Gu, who possesses the super power [Reality Control] and the destiny [Controller] who perfectly controls magic power, can perfectly avoid the observation of these people.
He Shi Shiran walked into the palace with his cane.
The king, who was wearing a crown and whose beard and hair were almost connected, was sitting alone on the throne drinking wine, with a map of Jura Forest in front of him.
He was full of interest, and the thinking in his mind was extremely simple. He was thinking almost all the time about his great achievements after conquering the Jula Forest, establishing trade routes, expanding the territory of the kingdom, annexing surrounding countries, and establishing the [Western Empire].
Duh, duh.
The crisp knocking sound on the table woke up the king who was trapped in his wonderful thoughts. He raised his head in surprise, only to see a white-haired old mage whom he had never seen before standing in front of him.
"Who are you and where did you come in from?"
His first reaction was anger, not fear.
This kind of arrogance made Tong Gu shake his head and sigh.
Tong Gu suddenly stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the king's head.
A terrifying force appeared above the king's head, and he suddenly thought of many scenes that frightened him.
Before he could ask for mercy, Tong Gu said calmly
"I'll lend you the crown."
With a strong pull, the golden crown was taken off together with the human head below.
Blood spurted out, but Tong Gu only focused his eyes, and the blood turned into flowers, blooming in the room. He casually dropped the king's head, and together with the remains, turned into two sculptures.
Tong Gu himself walked to the throne. As he sat down, his face changed rapidly, and he completely transformed into the appearance of a king.
"guard!"
"guard!"
The king's angry voice sounded from the throne.
The two guards who were guarding the outside rushed over quickly. Tong Gu's eyelids were lowered, as indifferent as a real king.
"Let Archmage Razan and Archbishop Resim come to see me."
