"Put these aside for now. During the period when I was cultivating, did the city lord do anything?"

"Your Majesty, yes. During the period when you were in seclusion, there were two incidents of targeting the city lord. One was the destruction of the plantation, and the other was a problem with the supply of textile materials. However, these problems were discovered by our people in time and there were no major problems."

"It seems that they found our defenses tight and became alert, or maybe it was because they failed repeatedly. In the following period of time, there was no obvious targeting of the city lord?"

Krina replied

"Um...is that so?"

Kato Megumi entwined her hair with her index finger, thinking slightly.

"I had planned that if he continued to do something and keep targeting us, I would fight back and remove him from his position as city lord if necessary. But it seems that the person in front of me seems to be self-aware. Does that mean I can just ignore him? I just need to keep an eye on Luther..."

"After all, we now have the help of the Water Temple. The two temples will win together, and the franchising plan has already been announced. We don't monopolize this cake, but rather share it among the people. There doesn't seem to be any reason to target him..."

Kato Hui murmured softly, but is it true that the Lord of Roha City has nothing to do with that mysterious man? After all, the person possessed by that guy is his subordinate...

Kato Megumi was immersed in thought, but Krina in front of her interrupted her thoughts.

"Your Majesty, I have inquired about this. According to my investigation, the city lord does not seem to be very clean behind the scenes. That Luther seems to be related to the city lord..."

"Ok?"

Kato Megumi raised her head and looked at Krina.

"You mean, the two are in the same group? That Goblin Dungeon is also related to the Lord of Roha City?"

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 200 Chapter Information Found

"Your Majesty, although there is no definite evidence, based on my investigations these days, the Lord of Loya City and his subordinate Rhodes have indeed behaved strangely in recent years."

"Hmm? What did you find out?"

Kato Megumi asked.

"When Your Majesty first asked me to investigate, I focused my attention on the city lord himself. But I don't know if it's because he keeps his mouth shut or because of confidentiality, but it's hard to learn about the affairs of the city lord's mansion from the servants. The only stain on the city lord that people talk about is the strange death of the governor a few years ago, the increase in tax revenue in recent years, and the rumors that he has a bad personality."

Krina paused, then said.

"But when you told me that the man who poisoned me was related to the mysterious man in the Goblin Dungeon, I thought about it and changed my direction. As expected, I found something wrong. The victims in the dungeon were captured, which was most likely a premeditated and organized act."

"What do you mean? Are you saying that those girls were captured not only because of the goblins, but because someone offered to take them away?"

Kato Megumi frowned and asked, if that was the case, then she really couldn't just stand by and watch.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"I was wondering before that the Misty Forest is quite a distance away from the city of Luoha. Why are most of the victims there from the towns surrounding the city of Luoha? This is really a bit of a coincidence, so I went to investigate."

"After these days of investigation, based on the registration information of the victims, I finally found a common point, that is, most of the arrested girls are fatherless and motherless. Most of their parents have passed away or died for various reasons, leaving them alone with no ties and very few people to contact."

"Hmm... so when he was captured, he didn't attract attention, is that right? It seems that it was indeed premeditated..." Kato Megumi interrupted, "No wonder that mysterious man possessed the person next to the city lord. It seems that the city lord is also involved in this matter..."

Only the city lord has the specific information about most of the people, and only the city lord has the power to cover up the news of the disappearance of so many girls. Otherwise, where did so many girls in the Misty Forest come from? Could they appear out of thin air?

Even though some adventurers and passing civilians were captured due to goblin attacks, it is undeniable that most girls were captured through such channels.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I always felt it was a little strange before, but I didn't think about it carefully... Now that I think about it, the stories of those girls are indeed a little strange. Almost all of them said that they were walking on the road, and suddenly a bunch of goblins rushed over and grabbed them. Then they fainted, and when they woke up, they were in the goblin's nest."

"Now that I think about it, this matter is indeed puzzling. Not to mention how those goblins managed to capture people without being discovered by the garrison patrols, it is already very strange that they transported those captured girls to the Misty Forest without being discovered by others. Moreover, those girls happened to be orphans, which is even more unreasonable."

If someone said that there was no one behind the scenes planning this and no one helping, Klina would never believe it. This was just a coincidence.

Someone must have adjusted the garrison's route and provided some information to make things easier for the goblins. You have to know that no matter how high the goblins' IQ is, they are only about five or six years old. It's impossible to get from the misty forest to the town without being discovered, and to transport people into the forest without being discovered.

"And, Your Majesty, I have discovered another thing after investigation. Rhodes went to the City Lord's Mansion to recommend himself three years ago and was appreciated by the City Lord. And exactly one month later, the Archon of Haro City and his family died inexplicably. Even after repeated investigations by the priests, they still don't know how the Archon and his family died. They only know that they have no souls, as if they suddenly lost their souls and became the living dead."

"And..." Klina paused, then said with a serious expression, "From what those girls said, they stayed in the goblin's nest for no more than three years..."

"After the Archon died, that guy named Rhodes seemed to be noticed by the city lord for some reason and became his personal attendant."

No more than three years? In other words, when the Archon died and the power of the garrison was handed over to the city lord, these girls were captured one after another?

"It seems that the Archon was most likely killed by Rhodes. Because of this incident, Rhodes was favored by the city lord? And because Rhodes was related to the underground city of the Misty Forest, victims have appeared one after another in the past few years?"

Playing with the long hair in front of her chest, Kato Megumi tilted her head slightly.

"Although the evidence seems to be solid, there is one thing I am not sure about. As the city lord's personal bodyguard, would he use his true appearance to poison someone personally?"

Kato Megumi was puzzled.

Whether it was when he was disguised as a girl and discovered by Anna and others, or when Rhodes' "true appearance" was discovered by himself after being caught, the whole process seemed too much of a joke no matter how you looked at it.

The poison used by the person who came to poison was not a lethal poison. As the city lord's personal bodyguard, who had good camouflage props, he was discovered because of his inadequate disguise, and this was when he asked for a thorough investigation. It was a bit strange no matter how you look at it.

Kato Megumi didn't think that those innocent girls could really hide from the other party's spies. If they were ordinary people, it would be okay, but such a powerful person would definitely not be caught.

All this puzzled Kato Hui. It felt as if the other party was deliberately exposing himself. Everything was too smooth. Whether it was the man being caught or his subsequent confession, it seemed to be telling her that there was something wrong with the city lord Wall and he was targeting the temple.

"Hmm... It seems I have to investigate it thoroughly. Before, I was not strong enough, and I didn't dare to alert the enemy because I didn't know the specific situation. But now that my strength has improved so much, it's time to go find out what's going on."

Kato Megumi's words made Krina pause, and then she began to persuade her worriedly.

"Your Majesty, are you okay? Your friend doesn't seem to be here. Would it be dangerous for you to deal with him with your strength? Do you want me to ask for help from the Water Temple? If the investigation really finds something, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 201 Chapter Klina's Anxiety

Everything that Kato Megumi did in the dungeon was described in detail by Kato Megumi after Clina was rescued. Clina admired His Majesty's behavior and was surprised by the bomb in His Majesty's hand. When she learned that the saint's friend and the mastermind had fought a draw, Clina felt ashamed and surprised at the same time.

I felt ashamed that I couldn't protect the saint, and was surprised that she had such a capable friend.

So she knew something about Kato Megumi's existence, which led to this conversation.

Klina knew that no matter how talented and powerful the Saint was, when she first met His Majesty a few months ago, His Majesty was still a novice priest and a novice learning magic.

Even though Her Majesty is growing too fast now, it is undeniable that Her Majesty is still very young and does not have many means to protect her life. As the saint of the temple, Klina has to worry about her safety first and foremost.

Seeing Krina's worried look, Kato Megumi comforted her.

"Don't worry... I don't have any so-called heroism, nor do I plan to fight alone. I won't investigate secretly or sneak in as you think. I remember that the other party handed me an invitation to the banquet. I think I can take advantage of this time to investigate before the banquet. If I find out anything, I will inform Aina and the Water Temple as soon as possible."

Kato Megumi tilted her head and chuckled, clasping her fingertips together.

"So don't worry... Am I the kind of person who doesn't listen to advice and likes to investigate alone in your eyes?"

"Ah... that's not the case..." Klina lowered her head with a helpless look on her face, "I'm just worried that Your Majesty is once again planning to go into danger alone and act like a so-called hero."

Klina's sixth sense told her that things in the City Lord's Mansion were definitely not that simple. The other party might have a big plan, or there might be a powerful mastermind behind the scenes. She was very worried. If Her Majesty entered the other party's sight first, it might attract the other party's attention and her safety would not be guaranteed.

From what happened in the dungeon, we know that His Majesty actually has a heart that dares to take risks. Although His Majesty is gentle and kind now, his recent actions show that His Majesty is not a person who is content with the status quo and is content to enjoy himself.

When encountering some things, others may want to leave first, but Your Majesty may want to get involved.

"If you really want to fight alone, please call your subordinates. At least I can help you in times of crisis."

Faced with Krina's request, Kato Megumi felt helpless. She didn't expect Krina to be so anxious.

Yes, it is a feeling of powerlessness and anxiety. In Kato Megumi's view, Krina is now like a confused child who urgently wants to get her recognition and realize her own value.

But after thinking about it carefully, Kato Megumi could understand her mentality. As her own bodyguard and as a knight, she was unable to use her own strength to fight the enemy at every critical moment. Every time she missed it by accident, she could only do some clerical work afterwards. It really made people feel that they had lost their self-worth, failed to show their due strength, etc., and then they developed an anxious mentality.

A guard's duty is to protect his master. When this protection is not realized, the guard's position will make people feel embarrassed, unworthy of the position, and awkward. This is what is happening to Klina now.

Therefore, Klina worked particularly hard in the recent instructions, whether it was opening a shop, driving away idlers, or planting and teaching, she did everything in an orderly manner and put in a lot of effort.

Then these were all clerical tasks. No matter how hard Klina tried, she could not get rid of the shame of letting the saint face danger alone in the dungeon.

In addition, in the past month, Krina and Kato Megumi have hardly met each other except to report on work, which makes it hard not to feel anxious.

Klina wanted to prove that she was a qualified guard, a guard who could stand beside the saint, so in addition to being busy, Klina also kept exercising, and she had not rested for several days without day and night reversal.

The purpose of being a guard is to gain recognition for your value through fighting, and Klina deeply agrees with this.

So when she received His Majesty's order to investigate the unusual situation in the City Lord's Mansion, she could vaguely feel that this would be a tough battle, and she put all her energy into the investigation.

With the subsequent investigation, she was even more certain of this.

However, when Kato Megumi expressed her desire to conduct a deeper investigation on her own, Clina felt so anxious.

She desperately wanted to stay by His Majesty's side to protect her and become a captain of the guard who could realize her value.

Kato Megumi was not very clear about Krina's series of mental changes, but she could roughly guess what the other person was thinking.

Kato Megumi sighed softly.

"You're overthinking it... I've just been a little busy lately. I trust you and believe in your abilities, so I've given you a lot of work. So you don't have to worry about not being useful or valuable."

"As for the guarding job, you actually did a good job. As my head attendant, guarding me is not just about using force to protect me. Value is not measured in this way."

"Your Majesty..."

Klina lowered her head, not expecting that the saint knew exactly what she was thinking.

She actually didn't think much about it. She just wanted to help His Majesty more and prove her own worth, instead of running around everywhere and failing in her duty as a bodyguard to provide close protection.

"Well... since you are so worried, then come with me to the banquet. More people means more strength. It's a good opportunity to see what the situation is like."

The invitation from the City Lord's Mansion was sent more than ten days ago. There was no theme for the banquet. It was neither a birthday nor a blessing. It was just a simple banquet.

At that time, Kato Megumi was a little busy and had not decided whether to go or not, so she did not refuse but put it aside.

But now she was glad that she did not refuse completely, as she could take advantage of the banquet to go to the other party's mansion to find out more.

After all, there is an honest way, so why should we sneak in secretly?

After returning to the villa, they learned that Kato Megumi was going to a banquet at the City Lord's Mansion, and Alyssa also expressed her desire to go with her.

"After all, there will be all kinds of nobles at the banquet. This is an opportunity to interact with each other and increase your network."

Having more connections will bring more help, and it will be easier to sell tea in the future.

Kato Megumi thought about this and then nodded in agreement.

It's just a party anyway, nothing should go wrong.

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 202 Chapter The Inescapable Law of Fragrance

The giant crystal chandelier in the center of the hall sparkled and emitted melodious lights. At the banquet, men and women in formal attire raised their wine glasses and talked to each other with appropriate smiles at the banquet.

A sweet aroma lingered vaguely around everyone, and the aroma of food filled everyone's nose. However, these exquisite foods did not whet the appetite of the banquet guests.

After all, who comes here to actually eat? Most people have already filled their stomachs before, and are ready to show their elegance in this banquet with a perfect spirit, or to communicate, or to win over the noble ladies they like or the prestigious and reputable nobles.

Of course, some people simply have no appetite for these foods that are no longer novel. They prefer the new delicacies that are now popular in the city of Loja.

When talking about the new delicacies, some of the nobles at the banquet were disdainful and looked down upon them. After all, how could such cheap and inferior delicacies with such a pungent smell show the deliciousness of noble food and reflect the original taste of the ingredients!

Especially when it comes to dining with the poor, most nobles feel uncomfortable about it. After all, when talking about those common people's restaurants, their first reaction is that they are dirty and messy.

This is not because they themselves have mysophobia, but the real reality. The gaps between the wooden tables and chairs in most restaurants are filled with dirt that cannot be wiped off, and the raw materials of the food are also of poor quality and have been left for several days. These facts make the nobles not have much expectations for the food in the restaurant itself. Instead of eating out, it is better to ask a chef to cook in their own villa. Regardless of the taste, at least it is clean.

Even though the people of Locha City praised the emergence of the new cuisine, to the nobles, the restaurant itself was a place where low-quality food was produced and they would not look forward to it, let alone eating with the common people.

Of course, this does not include all nobles. Not all people are complacent. People are curious. Even deep-rooted ideas cannot change the genes engraved in human instincts, even nobles.

As time passed, new cuisine emerged in the city of Locha, and various new ways of frying and deep-frying became popular. Most of the nobles became very curious about the restaurants opened by the temple. With curiosity, they would try and take the first step.

So... many nobles have triggered the law of true fragrance...

There was no other reason, the so-called inferior food was simply too delicious, especially since the restaurant itself provided door-to-door delivery service, which made some aristocrats with "social phobia" come to eat it one after another.

As a result, many nobles were disdainful of the unchanging delicacies at the banquets, and some even looked down on the city lords, saying that they were stubborn and could not keep up with the trend.

Several nobles who got along well with each other began to complain about this.

"Why don't you prepare some new delicacies, Lord City Lord? I remember that the previous banquets all had this kind of food! It's tasteless at all."

A noble with short brown hair complained.

"Yes, these foods look gorgeous, but they don't taste very good. Since I learned that food can be cooked by frying, deep-frying, and stir-frying, it's like I opened the door to a new world and experienced the beauty of life again."

Another noble at the side nodded in agreement.

"Especially the newly-released barbecue. When the delicious seasoning is sprinkled on the hot barbecue, the aroma is overflowing, and the meat is tender and chewy. At this time, a glass of special beer is even more amazing. It is so refreshing to spit out a sigh of praise."

After hearing his description, several nobles around him swallowed unconsciously.

"Fell, are you referring to the new barbecue seasoning set and limited beer that the restaurant has recently launched? I didn't expect you to have tried them! You know, the beer and seasoning are only on sale for three days, and you can only wait until Monday every week to queue up to buy them. I didn't expect you to get them."
