Dragon King's Harem Chapter 149. Am I The Same? I
The suns were getting higher and the city was getting busier. Unlike my previous days which were filled with adventure and battles, I was in my office, working like the real Argod.
I was sitting behind my large desk. My back leaned against the back of the big chair. Both of my hands were on the chair armrest. While my eyes shifted from document to document that was floating in front of me. Every now and then, I waved my finger to move the pens and write something on the papers. Although the letter was different from my original world, I could read and write just fine, thanks to Argod's memory.
Still... Even though several hours had passed, I felt like the pile of documents on my desk wasn't decreasing. Well, it was a 10-year job so it couldn't be done that fast. Also, I needed to dig into Argod's memory, to find out how he handled this problem.
After I finished one document, I put it on the finished pile before I took another and moved in front of me. I read it for a while before my brows furrowed.
'Wait a sec... Haven't I dealt with this matter before?' But then I realized something was different from that document. In addition, the date was also different.
A long tiring breath escaped my mouth.
'Oh no... Please don't say this is its update.' This was the second time and I was sure I would come across a similar case in the future.
Although I was a little annoyed, I used my Telekinetic to find the previous document and put it alongside this one. Then I started working on something else. I could say it was a waste of my time since I had to do it twice. Unfortunately, they didn't stack my documents according to the month or year so I could only take them randomly.
Amid my annoyance and busyness, the knocking sound from the door accompanied by a faint voice from outside came.
"Your Majesty, Lady Sela, and Marissa requested an audience with you."
Since I was sure they wanted to talk about the war, I simply used my Telekinetic to open the door.
"Come in," I said without taking my eyes off the document in front of me.
Marissa and Sela entered the room carefully. Only from the atmosphere and the silence of the room, they realized that I was busy.
They stopped in front of me and bowed.
"Your Majesty," they said in unison.
I answered them with a simple nod. Again, I flicked my finger to move my pen over a document.
"What can I do for you?" I asked without looking at them.
"If you're busy, we can come back another time," said Sela.
"Just say it now," I said before I placed the document onto the finished pile and waved my hand down. The remaining floated document dropped onto the table. My gaze shifted to them.
"It's about the war between your tribes right?" I guessed.
They nodded.
"Take a seat and tell me your decision." I gestured at them to sit down.
They did my order.
"We talked a lot yesterday and decided to work together to prevent this war, Your Majesty," Marissa started our conversation.
"We also have an idea that might help you," added Sela.
"Tell me," I asked. This was good news for me since it meant I could execute my plan.
"Rather than investigating the type of poison, we are thinking about creating a strong Poison Resistance. With this, we can give the entire city a temporary immunity to all types of poison. So what we need is when the queen executes the plan," Marissa explained.
I frowned.
"Is that too risky? What if the queen uses a new type of poison and your Poison Resistance can't prevent it?" I asked.
Poison Resistance was a rare type of potion. Only certain people had access to it and it was usually very expensive. While it could only neutralize low to medium types of poisons for a certain period. Most people chose Antidote for cheaper alternatives. Moreover, some special Antidote could do the same thing even if only for low-level poison types.
"Poison Resistance is different from Antidotes, Your Majesty. They increase our resistance to any poison. It works much like a health drink," Marissa explained.
"But health drinks can't prevent disease completely. Besides, we can't force the civilians to drink those Poison Resistance," I said.
"Indeed. But, health drinks are usually for long-term consumption. Whereas we only need this for a short time. I can increase the Poison Resistance's concentration to a certain stage and make the effect last for some time. I also can transform the Poison Resistance into another form," Marissa explained.
"What do you mean?" I asked her to explain more.
"I can turn it into powder," Marissa replied.
"We can spread it through the air, water sources, and their wells. We just need to make a big amount of it," she added.
"Are you sure you can make it? There are about 500k people in their largest city," I recalled. That population was about 10 years ago, so it should be more by now.
"I'm sure of it. Besides, Dragon Cross is a big city, so I should be able to get the ingredients easily," said Marissa.
"I see. I will order Eir to arrange this then." Still, I was planning to do some research on the queen's poison type to make sure everything went well. But I would concentrate on finding out the date and time.
"As for the rest, I just need to come to the Duke of Dwarf Tribe..." I muttered.
Upon my last sentence, Sela spoke.
"May Sela know what your plans are, Your Majesty?"
