The Last Adventurer Chapter 109

Chapter 10934. The Crown Prince (2)

4.

“This is El Palm.”

El Palm, the moment he saw him, Prince Kashan did not greet him right away.

Instead, he looked surprised.

It had to be that way.

“You’re alive.”

Because in Prince Kashan’s mind, El Palm was dead.

Of course, I didn’t meet El Palm simply because I came back alive.

Usually, whether adventurers returned alive or dead was of no interest to Prince Kashan.

The important thing was where El Palm came back to life.

“How did you come back from that grave alive?”

The Prince’s Tomb.

The conquest was successful, but it was judged that everyone involved was dead and returned alive.

El Palm answered Prince Kashan’s question calmly.

“I was lucky.”

That was it.

El Palm didn’t give any details.

Prince Kashan also did not particularly question El Palm’s insincere answer.

Because they both knew.

Whatever El Palm says here, there is no way for Prince Kashan to verify it.

“You were lucky, thank goodness you came back alive.”

And whatever the reason, it doesn’t really matter to Prince Kashan right now.

It was literal.

“It would be a great help if you could help me.”

All Prince Kashan needed was the adventurer El Palm, who had returned from the prince’s tomb alive.

El Palm said to Prince Kashan:

“I’m sorry, but I have no intention of making a contract with Prince Kashan.”

It was a very shocking statement.

This was an even more shocking statement for Prince Kashan, who thought he had gained the greatest helper.

However, when Prince Kashan heard the story, there was no sign of shock on his face.

It wasn’t acting.

“Do you intend to talk to the other princes?”

“yes.”

“You are indeed wise.”

Prince Kashan understood El Palm’s choice.

There was no reason to immediately contract with Prince Kashan, given the opportunity to increase my value more than ever.

So rather, Prince Kashan was satisfied.

If El Palm had shown favor here and wanted to make a contract with him, Prince Kashan would have been suspicious.

Now, more than anyone else, Prince Kashan had to be wary of anyone who came with favors.

“So, have you talked to the other princes?”

“No. I thought it would be the least courtesy to come to Prince Kashan first.”

“Oh really? Then my offer will be the first offer you receive.”

Above all, Prince Kashan was confident.

“It’s fine to negotiate with other princes, but I don’t think anyone will make a better offer than me.”

I have the confidence to make an offer you can’t refuse.

“If I become crown prince, I will give you whatever you want.”

And Prince Kashan made the offer.

“Anything the King of Ariant can give.”

It was a very radical proposal.

It was so outrageous that I dare not compare it to an offer that simply said they would give me a legendary item.

In other words, Prince Kashan was sincere and desperate at the same time.

“Is anything really okay?”

“A king is someone who protects his words with his life. If he only says things he can protect, he should not be a king.”

The moment he heard that, El Palm nodded.

“I didn’t know it would turn out like this.”

Prince Kashan smiled at those words.

It was a smile at the fact that he had succeeded in winning over El Palm’s heart thanks to his bold proposal.

‘Of course, I never expected such a proposal.’

Prince Kashan’s proposal was so radical in many ways that no one could have expected it.

‘As expected.’

Of course, El Palm was excluded.

He knew.

‘As befitting Prince Kashan.’

Who is Prince Kashan?

I couldn’t not know.

Because the prince who fought against Queen Areda to the end was none other than Prince Kashan.

It means that he is more desperate than any other prince to normalize the Ariant Kingdom.

Therefore, Prince Kashan’s proposal was within the range of what could have been expected.

“From now on, I will be with you, Prince.”

Of course Prince Kashan wouldn’t know.

‘You can’t possibly expect what I’m going to ask for.’

El Palm, what he covets.

Of course, El Palm had no intention of telling him that right away.

‘Now more than that.’

And now was not the time.

‘My presence will flow to Queen Areda.’

5.

“El Palm? That El Palm?”

Queen Areda looked surprised at the words her subordinate brought.

It wasn’t just Queen Areda who was like that.

Ivok, who was listening to the report from her side, also looked more surprised than ever.

The two were that surprised.

“That El Palm met Prince Kashan?”

It was no ordinary thing for El Palm, who was thought to be dead, to return alive and meet Prince Kashan.

It wasn’t simply that the dead had come back to life.

“Evoque.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“What do you think about this situation now?”

“As long as El Palm lives, we are dead.”

They were given orders.

“Because Will wanted him dead.”

From none other than their leader, Commander Will.

But is El Palm alive?

That would be tantamount to disobeying Will’s orders.

The reason didn’t matter. Excuses wouldn’t work in front of the commander of the Black Magic Legion.

Moreover, it was impossible to hide this fact from him.

Because Will’s ears and eyes stretched out like a spider’s web throughout Maple World.

“And yet we are alive.”

In other words, the fact that Queen Areda and Ivok were both breathing right now was a signal from Will.

“I guess this is our last chance.”

If they fail to deal with El Palm this time, it’s a signal that they won’t stand by and watch any longer.

By that point, the two of them no longer showed any signs of surprise or embarrassment.

Because there was only one expression to make when your life was on the edge of a knife.

“I must kill Prince Kashan first. No, I don’t know about the other princes, but I must kill Prince Kashan and El Palm.”

A look of determination that shows one’s determination to die.

Another piece of breaking news came to those two.

“Prince Kashan is challenging you now?”

6.

“We are choosing the crown prince!”

When the event to select the crown prince spread throughout the Nihal Desert, but before it spread to all of the areas.

“Prince Kashan challenges!”

“what?”

At that time, news about Prince Kashan spread.

“No, what are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“Prince Kashan will be the first to challenge the Mystic Gate!”

Naturally, everyone was surprised by the news.

“Already? It was only yesterday that I heard the news that they were going to select a crown prince, yesterday!”

Now it’s time for the princes to seriously recruit adventurers, but they’re already starting an attack?

So most of them thought.

“It’s not fake?”

That rumor is false.

But that thought didn’t last long.

“I, Kashan! To prove my worth as crown prince, I will now set out to conquer Mystic Gate!”

Because Prince Kashan himself started to move.

At that point, everyone was asking questions.

“No, why on earth are you moving so fast?”

How could you assemble a raiding party so soon when other princes were just recruiting adventurers?

“It’s not a speed race, is it? It’s not about waking up quickly that’s important, it’s about numbers.”

Above all, there was nothing to be gained from clearing this Crown Prince event quickly.

So everyone thought that this crown prince event could take place over a period of at least half a year, or at most several years.

But, less than a month later, King Abdullah VIII made the announcement, and they launched an attack less than a week later?

No one could understand Prince Kashan’s intentions at all.

“No, boss. What the hell is going on?”

The same was true for El Palm’s colleagues, including Debo.

No one questioned his decision to side with Prince Kashan.

“Yeah, what’s going on? Huh? It’s nice to be with Prince Kashan, but why are we going so quickly?”

But moving this quickly is unexpected.

“This is too dangerous.”

Above all, I couldn’t look upon Prince Kashan’s actions in a positive light, no matter how positive I wanted to see it.

It was a more dangerous Mystic Gate attack than ever before.

Even if you make thorough preparations, it won’t be enough.

But how can you launch an attack so quickly, without even having time to catch your breath, let alone prepare?

There was only one person who didn’t question it.

“The key to conquering Mystic Gate this time is not the quality of the adventurer.”

“Huh? Boss, what does that mean?”

El Palm, he knew.

“It’s true. What matters is the existence of the traitor.”

“A traitor?”

“Reducing the internal enemies as much as possible is the most important thing. After all, if he’s Prince Kashan, he’s an adventurer underwater.”

Prince Kashan already had countless adventurers and soldiers with him.

And their level was also top-notch.

There was absolutely no problem in carrying out the strategy.

As long as nothing goes wrong internally.

“Anyway, you can assume that more than half of the adventurers coming here are spies. Joining hands with them is suicidal.”

In other words, spending time here trying to recruit better adventurers was not only pointless, it was a negative action.

“As time goes on, the number of people being bought will also increase.”

Furthermore, as time passed, there was a possibility that even loyal subjects who would have gone to the fire pit at the words of Prince Kashan would waver.

“Because it’s about choosing a crown prince.”

Because this matter is that important.

Only after hearing El Palm’s words did his colleagues show some degree of understanding.

And soon his expression hardened.

“Wait a minute, this is just a fight with trolls?”

Because I knew this was going to be a much more difficult strategy than I thought.

“So how many people do you expect?”

Naturally, as the number of people trying to troll increases, the difficulty of conquering the game will rapidly increase.

“About 3 out of 10 people.”

“yes?”

At El Palm’s words at that moment, everyone’s expressions didn’t just stiffen, they turned pale.

“Hey, boss? What did you just say?”

“Hey, what the hell are you talking about?”

“That’s right. Three out of ten!”

“What a ridiculous number!”

The scary thing about trolling is that in a party of 100 people, if just one person trolls, all 100 people are in danger.

That would be the case, because if one person were determined to put poison in the food, it could cause enormous damage.

But 3 out of 10?

So you’re saying that 30 out of 100 people are trolling?

There is no way a proper Mystic Gate attack can be accomplished.

In fact, it was a very distant number.

“No matter how much I think about it, I think it’s too big.”

So, no one, including Debo, believed El Palm’s words.

“Furthermore, isn’t Prince Kashan’s speed battle also intended to weed out traitors?”

“Of course, Prince Kashan must have chosen it.”

Moreover, isn’t Prince Kashan the one who is making such a bold attempt because he is most worried about the traitor?

Then it should be less.

El Palm answered his colleagues’ questions.

“I didn’t say it clearly.”

“Yes?”

Only then did El Palm speak to his delighted colleagues.

“Three out of ten are trustworthy people. So seven out of ten are traitors.”

If 100 people enter, 70 of them are traitors trying to kill Prince Kashan.

Everyone, including Devo, looked dumbfounded at that number.

It was a number so vast that it was enough to stop the accident.

Divo finally came to his senses and said.

“Boss, are you sure?”

“That’s what I expected. Prince Kashan is already surrounded by people who have been bribed by Queen Areda. To be exact, it has been like that from the beginning.”

No one questioned El Palm’s words any further.

At least El Palm wasn’t the type to joke around or have wild fantasies about this stuff.

Rather, if El Palm said this, it was very likely true.

“driving me crazy.”

And these people here had to take Prince Kashan and attack Mystic Gate in that ridiculous situation.

“It’s crazy to just attack the 300-person gate.”

And not just any Mystic Gate, but the hardest difficulty level 300 Mystic Gate.

Even though Prince Kashan has not made an announcement yet, most people expected that he would conquer the 300-man Mystic Gate with only 150 people.

At least that means no more.

The worst situation in many ways.

“Boss, are you sure it’s okay?”

However, when El Palm actually faced that situation, he showed no particular expression.

“Okay.”

It wasn’t a bluff.

“Because I have a powerful card prepared for times like this.”
