The Grand Prince Has Run Away

The spine of Jores Island.

As winter approached, the days of peace continued. Around this time, the border area is becoming unsettled by the raids of Orcs, but Kara Kingdom is experiencing a very quiet winter. It was because the Orcs in the Central Orc Meadow were able to enjoy a richer winter than ever before with a large amount of food exported from Kara.

Thanks to this, the loyalty of the Northern Orc Meadow neighbors has increased dramatically. It was due to the sudden rise in earnings through trading, passing the dangerous fall very peacefully.

But it wasn't just this. The port cities where the imported food is unloaded have also progressed further due to increased trade items, and the mid-point cities and tribal villages where the food is transported have also gained trading anti-profits.

With the increase in jobs here, the people's lives became more glossy, and the merchants screamed happily at the incoming wealth.

It was a peaceful era, and the kingdom of Kara had just begun to build, but it was advancing so rapidly that it had never seen anything like it in human history.

But there was no problem at all.

The fact that immigrants are swarming in droves due to Kara's abundance and quality of life has led to a sharp increase in food consumption per capita.

There was also a jealous young gaze from another country. It was not the extent to which my cousin was sick when he bought land, but a practical and clear deposit. When Kara's money was constantly pouring into the sea trade, she was always complaining about foreign countries where money was going out.

Of course, Kara imported all the resources and bulk food resources into the development of the island of Jores from another country, but they could never be the same. The value-added products sold by Kara were exceptionally high.

So Kara made an extreme choice. It was storing food and resources in a warehouse that was constantly being built on Jorges Island. We have to accumulate food and resources to prepare for the future anyway, so we decided to calm foreign complaints and just do it.

‘This geezer is coming again and again. If he's a peacock, he should just go home. ’

I was delayed and headed to the tangential cabin in the palace. It was because I wanted to confront myself in person at the embassy of the Bastein Kingdom Trade Co-op. If the others were here, I could postpone it to the government officials, but I was on my way because the mission leader was Duke Fabious.

This grandfather had a heart, so he could not resist the demands.

When I entered the Tango Room, I saw Duke Fabious waiting and said in an annoying tone.

“Grandpa, too. The General is loyal to his duty.Why does he keep chasing after the Trade Co-op Guild? ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Duke Fabious stares at me silently.

“Grandpa, what's wrong with you? ”

Duke Fabious approaches me and searches me thoroughly, shaking his head in disappointment.

“White cotton. You haven't changed much. ”

“Of course. It's been so long since I've seen Grandpa. What could I possibly change?" ”

“But you said you were in the Mind Master. ”

“Yes, but? ”

Duke Fabious sits helplessly on the couch and speaks in his own voice.

“Common sense. So I... ”

I couldn't even get a straight answer when I saw Duke Fabious's shiny head, and I shut myself up. I made a very big mistake. It was never my fault that I didn't change so much after becoming a mind master, but it could have been a big wound for someone.

I sat next to Duke Fabious with a pompous face and put my hands on his shoulders.

“I'm sorry.”

“Never mind. You have nothing to be sorry about. ”

I sighed deeply with Duke Fabious.

“But don't give up hope. Because I'm such an unusual case. ”

“An unusual case? ”

“I'm 32, right? Looks like you're in your early 20s? ”

“Not really. So?”

“Since you already have a full-grown body, there's no reason for you to change your body even on the Mind Master. ”

Then Duke Fabious's face lit up.

“Oh, now that you've reached the Mind Master at an unreasonably early age, was there no common sense process of physical change required to become a Mind Master? ”

“Yes. Of course, common sense isn't all right, most of the time. Especially since the Mind Master has examples like Grandpa Cloud or Gromlog, it's likely common sense. ”

“So did I. That's right, I will. ”

Duke Fabious has finally regained his senses.

Then I sighed for relief. I saved a life today. It was a blessed and noble thing.

Duke Fabious looked at me with envy.

“How did you get up there, by the way? ”

“I don't know. But I can assure you, old man and Zenbee and the conclusions I've discussed have been very helpful. ”

“So the directionality we're going out of is correct? ”

“Yes. It's just a matter of desperation, and I think that's right. When I met Grolmog before, he told me about that context. Respecting the public consciousness of some people is the first step toward the Mind Master. ”

Duke Fabious tilts his head, listening carefully.

“Does this mean that the public consciousness created by the individual's mind is also a single consciousness? ”

“Yes, I think she has the same personality. ”

Duke Fabious ponders deeply and reveals his thoughts.

“Perhaps that public consciousness is an honest existence of desire. ”

“Yes. Grolmog said the same thing. The virtue of Zen Bee's inadequacy was desire. Since the oak ash didn't know its desires, it couldn't have easily gained access to a public consciousness that was honest with its desires. ”

Duke Fabious nods calmly.

“So it's not enough for the public consciousness, and it's actually enough to satisfy that desire. ”

“Yes, moral fiber is a virtue. They're trying to teach the public, lock them in a box, not satisfy their desires, right? They regard desire as a great sin. ”

“Not really.”

I woke up from my seat.

“Anyway, you'd better hurry. ”

“Why?”

“I think she's more likely to be a Mind Master than a grandfather. It's embarrassing at the end of three. ”

“You're telling me the packing wagon owner is closer to the Mind Master? ”

“Yes.”

“In what way? ”

“I don't think grandpa needs much. ”

Duke Fabious rises in a frenzy.

“I'm desperate too! ”

I snapped Duke Fabious's head and replied.

“Not personal needs. You know that the human mind is a network of connections to public consciousness. ”

“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“So abandon your obsession with your head. Grandpa has no intention of being impure. ”

Duke Fabious looked at me strangely.

“It's me, but you don't mean it. ”

“I just told you. The human mind is a network of connections to public consciousness. But the public includes me. ”

“What do you mean? ”

“My desires matter. I attach myself to public desires and satisfy them at the same time. Most desirable buyer of public consciousness, most right definition. ”

Duke Fabious shows great acceptance.

“I see. Everyone's happiness includes mine. ”

“Yes.”

“Then why don't I do the same? ”

“Impossible. That's why I told him to get rid of Grandpa's desires. ”

“Why should I be the only one to leave? ”

I answered calmly and quietly.

“In order to satisfy the grandfather's and the public's needs at the same time, we need to develop a catalyst. By the way, we've given up on Balsamic development in the heavenly city of Kronos. ”

Duke Fabious looks as if he's faced a great wall of despair.

“Well, I see. I shouldn't have. ”

“But don't give up hope. I'm just desperate, because human desire isn't just one head. If you look closely, you'll find one desperate wish to breathe with the public consciousness. ”

Duke Fabious seduced me.

“White face.”

“Why?”

“Hmmm. It's meaningful to be my flesh and blood, but secretly I feel bad. Why?"

I swiped my head. I only said the phrase correctly, but I also felt like I had done something really bad.

“It's the mood. It's used by healthy medicines. ”

“Is that really all? ”

“Yes.”

“Got it.”

At that moment, General Lazar jumped into the reception room with a thump. It seemed as though something urgent was happening because he was breathing heavily.

“Sir, we have an urgent message from Jores Island. ”

I glanced back, frowning.

“General Lazar. We got company. What's all the fuss about? ”

“This is serious. A fortress under construction yesterday was attacked by a magical object. ”

“Then send Nazir or Bayan. ”

In my answer, General Razal wagged his hand.

“It's hard. ”

“Why?”

“It turns out Nazir's troops encountered the horses, abandoned the battle itself and evacuated the fortress underground with workers under construction. ”

“Really? What about the troops that Bayan leads? ”

“They say they can't even get near the fortress. ”

I tilted my head strangely. Around 3,000 troops led by Bayan and Nazir, respectively. It was hard to understand that they had given up the battle.

“What kind of magic? ”

“I don't know the details, but it looks like a white giant spider. Body size is approximately 1m. ”

Suddenly, I thought of a magical object, and I got a bad impression.

“Khh. You're a reel spy. ”

“Yes?”

“There is. Such magic. ”

Reel Spider was something I had experienced in my past life. One by one was a very weak object ten levels behind, but the problem was a number.

They come from a magical creature called Spider Queen, hundreds of thousands in large numbers. To put it simply, it's a trial of the age of destruction. Once they hit, they flock endlessly.

“So what's the damage? ”

“As soon as Nazir finds them, there won't be much damage. Reportedly, before the fortress wall was completed, they had to give up their resistance. ”

We are doomed. If we resist, Nazir's forces are doomed.

“Good for you.”

“But if we delay time, the damage will increase. ”

“Why?”

“Combining the evacuated warriors and workers in the underground shelter, they say they have nearly 7,000 units of food and water in the underground shelter. ”

We're in a hurry. Without food and water, the humans won't last long.

“Tell Khaoyan to go to the Sanctuary right now and bring his sister Armida and her saints to the palace. Hurry up.”

“Yes.”

I turned my back on Duke Fabious.

“Grandpa, I have an urgent matter. ”

Duke Fabious glances at me.

“Did something dangerous happen? ”

“Yes, very dangerous. ”

“Will you come with me? ”

It would be nice if Duke Fabious could come. Since the situation is timeless, early combat must be resolved with a few elites. The only problem was that I had no choice but to use the support to get there on time, and it was awkward for me to disclose it to Duke Fabious.

I'll start with the bruises as soon as I see them.

But it didn't seem to matter. If you see more than 7,000 people evacuating, it's as if they've already been exposed. Moreover, since the recent trade with Orcs and the trade on the Argentine continent has released large volumes of Chaos Pieces to the market, there is no problem now that the stimulus is released.

“I wish you were here. Maybe you'll get a good look. Call your homeland and get their permission. You could kill yourself. ”

“Got it. I'll see you then. ”

“Yes.”

As soon as Duke Fabious left, I swept down my face. The appearance of Reel Spider at a time when everything was going well. I don't know what this is.

* * *

“What! Reel Spider? ”

Armida's sister, who came to the meeting room, was surprised. Lil Spider was well aware of it in the heavenly city of Kronos. Reel Spider was the most dangerous creature in the heavenly city of Kronos.

Shura looks at Armida with a dark face.

“Master, do you know anything about that? ”

“Troublesome witches. Each one is not very strong, but the numbers are very intimidating. So if we find him in the heavenly city of Kronos, we turn everything upside down and eliminate him first. It's a pain in the ass when it blows. ”

I got up leaning against the table.

“But we have to keep the worst in mind. They failed prematurely. Looks like they're occupying a lot of uncharted territory on Jores Island. ”

Armida's sister shivers slightly. My sister seemed nervous too.

“You got to be kidding me. ”

“Yeah, maybe. ”

Alieta interrupts the conversation.

“Mr. White Face, there are about 7,000 survivors now. Are you sure? ”

“Yes, I'm evacuating the underground shelter. ”

“But there's a place for 7,000 people to evacuate, right? ”

That's because fortresses and cities on the island of Jores are all being built as food for an era of destruction. However, the disadvantage was that there was no glamorous side to emphasizing only its functionality, but the defence was clear.

Hiding in houses alone could not penetrate any kind of magic, and in the worst case, if it was damaged by a shelter in the sewers or deep underground, it could survive for a long time.

“There is a large underground shelter in the middle. Each building has its own underground evacuation facility. The only problem is, it's a fortress before the places where people are fleeing are completed. It is said that there is no repair facility to be supplied with water, as well as supplies that can last for a long time. ”

“That's a week's worth of work, then. ”

“Yes.”

Alieta gives a dark look.

“But can we make it on time? There's no breach in Jores Island, is there? ”

“I can go. I've arranged transportation. ”

“How long will it take? ”

“We should be able to get there by tomorrow. ”

Armida's sister, Alita, Shura and Hubeo, who were gathered in the conference room, looked back at me.

Armida's sister represented her.

“Brother, there can't be that much traffic for humans, can there? ”

“No, he's in Kara. ”

“What?”

“You'll see. ”

After a short conversation, I looked around everyone.

“Let's hurry, then. We leave as soon as we're ready. ”

“Got it.”

“Yes.”

Afterwards, I finished preparing for battle with everyone and headed for Braam. It's because they called a floater to the vicinity of Braam to shorten the distance.
