"But we only found fifteen people. Aren't there twenty-five Caradia soldiers in the reconnaissance team?" Derrick asked curiously.
The messenger expression turned grief as he slapped himself on the head and said, "I'm sorry, Commander Derrick. I have another piece of news that I haven't told you."
"What?" Derrick's heart began to feel uneasy.
"There are a total of twenty-five soldiers in the reconnaissance team. Fifteen people have been discovered in the suburbs of Durandal. Three people were killed while carrying out missions on the island. Yesterday evening… Eight of them… were pulled onto the shore." the soldier said sadly, "In other words, other than the soldiers that you painstakingly found, everyone else has died."
Derrick raised his head in disbelief. After confirming the facts that the messenger had told him. He immediately turned his back and frowned to prevent tears from falling from his eyes.
"I see." After a long while, the messenger heard Derrick's response.
"Commander Derrick, I'm sorry for your loss." the messenger said with his head lowered.
"Then, where are their remains now?" Derrick asked with a choked voice, "It's good that their remains can be recovered."
"They are on their way back to Drondheim." the messenger replied. "The funeral will be held in the military camp."
"Yes, alright. After I take care of things here, I'll return to Drondheim to attend their funeral." said Derrick. "Then, are you leaving now?"
"Yes," the messenger replied. "Lord Kant and the others are still in Cumberland for the matter of the missing soldiers. I have to hurry back to report the news."
"Alright then. I wish you a safe journey." said Derrick to the messenger. The messenger saluted and jumped onto his horse.
"Thank you, Commander Derrick." the messenger said as he cupped his fists while riding on his horse.
After that, he whipped his horse and drove it further and further away under Derrick's gaze.
After Derrick entered the military camp, he immediately rushed to the area where Devitt and the others were resting.
Although the clinic in the military camp was prepared for the incoming wounded, they were still far from having enough manpower. They could only handle the work of a few people by themselves. They went in and out of the clinic.
Derrick grabbed a medic who passed by and asked him, "How's the fainted soldier?"
"Reporting to Commander Derrick!" the medic immediately stood up and answered, "The soldiers suffered severe frostbite and are undergoing a full-body examination."
"What do you mean by severe?" asked Derrick, puzzled.
"Some patients may require amputation." the medic replied as he looked at Derrick seriously.
"Nonsense!" Derrick pushed the medic away and shouted, "They are soldiers! Are you telling me that they need amputation?"
"Water has seeped into the knee joint, and all the cartilage inside has severely damaged." the medic followed beside Derrick and carefully explained, "When the soldiers wake up, they probably can't feel their legs anymore."
Upon hearing his words, Derrick stopped in front of Devitt's bed.
Devitt's lips, which had turned purple from the cold, had gradually recovered. The muscles on his face had also relaxed.

Derrick's tears fell on the white quilt. He felt sad that he was at a loss for what to do.
Kant had been in Cumberland for three days, and the salvage work had long ended. These few days, Bunduk led his soldiers to conduct a search in the vicinity of Cumberland. About a kilometer away from the city gate, they found a pile of firewood left over from the fire to heat up.
The means of survival in the wild was a compulsory course for every Caradia soldier before enlisting in the army. Even the method of camping in the wild was fixed and uniform.
After confirming that this was the trail left behind by the Caradia soldiers, Bunduk immediately reported this clue to Kant.
"Judging from the position they are staying at, they are walking along the Elf Kingdom's official road," Bunduk analyzed. "They are indeed going to Durandal."
"Tomorrow, continue to lead the soldiers in the direction you have speculated and search for them. Now, we only need to wait for the news from Durandal." Kant nodded and said.
"Yes." Bunduk replied.
Before confirming the movements of the missing soldiers, every night was difficult to endure.
Kant sat in his room with his eyes open the whole night. He could not suppress the restlessness in his heart.
Until dawn, the messenger knocked on Kant's door. He handed the list of rescued people to Kant.
Only then did Kant let out a long breath and let the soldier report the news to Bunduk. He went back to his bed to rest.
He slept until the evening.
When Bunduk was hesitating whether to wake him up, Kant opened the door and went to the dining room to have his dinner.
"Your Highness, you are finally awake." Bunduk found a chair beside Kant and sat down, saying to him.
Kant cut a small piece of steak and chewed it. After swallowing it, he replied, "Why are you looking for me?"
"Elf King has contacted the ship company that operates the ships on the island." Bunduk reported. "The people there said that after the crews received the hush money, they went to the dwarf town on the island and squandered freely. They caused some commotion, and now they have been locked down by the shipping company."
"We'll set off for the island tomorrow and let the shipping company monitor this group of people for a while. Tell them don't do anything until we arrive." Kant said calmly. "I really don't know what they're thinking. This group of people still dare to return to the island. Even if we don't look for them, the forces of the dark side on the island will probably come looking for them. I reckon that in the end, they won't even be able to spend their money and lose their lives."
"Your Highness, do you think that the forces on the island will clean them up?" Bunduk asked, puzzled.
"It's one of the possibilities. Whether or not they will take action or not, it depends on how far the people behind the scenes want to go." Kant wiped his mouth with a napkin and replied.
"I see. Since we're leaving tomorrow, I'll go and inform the soldiers to get ready now." Bunduk nodded and replied.
"Yes." Kant nodded and said, "By the way, where is Raphael? Remember to bring him along."
"After he was beaten by me that day, he fell on the bed and refused to get up no matter what." Bunduk frowned and replied, "I will find someone to visit him tonight."
"Don't use force against him. We still need him to do many things in the future." Kant instructed.
"Sigh." Bunduk sighed and said, "No matter what, Raphael is already an enemy in my eyes. Lord Kant, you have your plans, but I can't cross that line in my heart."
Kant turned around and stared at Bunduk for a long time.

Chapter 787: A Hint From the Old Dwarf
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
On the other side of the island, Abel probably already knew about the news of the sunken ship. Raphael did not know what he would think when Abel saw him.
On the night when he met up with the reconnaissance team, Raphael had already observed that Abel had a close relationship with the two captains of Caradia.
When he heard the news of the death of one of them, Abel would definitely want to kill him. Just like Bunduk.
When he thought of this, Raphael's shoulders immediately fell.
"I'm sorry, Abel…"
At this moment, Abel had indeed been informed by the ship company of the accident of the ship sinking on the sea. He had also received news from them that all the soldiers of the Caradia Empire had been wiped out.
However, he did not know that Kant had already taken Raphael to the island.
For the past few days, Abel had been leading his soldiers to help the crew search for information on the island.
After learning that these crew members were eating and drinking in a restaurant in the dwarf town, he immediately rushed over.
"What did the crew members say?" Abel sat down in a corner that was suitable for observing the movements of the crew members and whispered to the soldier beside him.
"The people from the shipyard told us not to act rashly and wait for the news from the Elf Kingdom." the soldier replied.
"Okay." Abel nodded and said, "Did you find out where the crew members are staying?"
"At the 'Paramount Inn' in the center of the city. Raphael did give them a lot of money to make these people squander." the soldier reported.
After hearing Raphael's name, Abel clenched the porcelain cup in his hand tightly.
After taking a deep breath, Abel continued to instruct, "Get someone to keep an eye on them. Don't let them run away."
"Yes." the soldier replied.
The crew members were noisy. After having dinner in the restaurant, they went to the red-light district in the town.
Abel did not follow them anymore. He returned to the military camp.
The soldiers were sent to the shipyard or were stationed in the small town. There were only five or six soldiers on guard in the military camp.
Abel ordered them to quickly patrol.
The camp had always been under the surveillance of the dark forces. Abel had raised his vigilance. He tried his best to hide the whereabouts of the soldiers.
The shipyard meant that they did not want to alarm the dark forces and let them find them.
Although Abel really wanted to ask these crew members about what happened that night, he could only suppress the doubts in his heart. He quietly waited for Kant or Elf King to make a decision.
Abel walked to the sea and looked at the turbulent sea. He thought of the time when he and the Caradia soldiers trekked through the mountains and forests. He also recalled the smiles that Devitt and Claremont beamed at him before they left.
These two people had completed their mission. They should have gone to receive the rewards. With their current age, they should have a bright and wonderful future. However, because of the struggle of the forces on the island, their lives had withered here.
The most hateful thing was that one of the people who had killed them was his ten years friend.
Abel recalled Raphael's every move at the farewell banquet, and his mouth twitched in anger.
"Raphael, from now on, you and I will no longer be friends." Abel picked up a handful of sand from the beach and scattered it in the air. He muttered silently.
The next morning, Abel did not sleep well last night.
He got up early and rushed to the dwarf town while the sky was still dark.
"Why do you always come here recently? I don't see you buying anything to take out of the town." the dwarf who was guarding the town said as he stamped their stamps.
"To add some popularity to your town." an elven soldier answered casually.
"Oh! Then you really think highly of yourself." the dwarf soldier shook his pipe, he continued, "However, since you came to the town today, there are really interesting things for you to see. There's a new play at the theater in the West Cellar, and my niece is also performing in it. She gave me two tickets, but I didn't have time to go. Why don't I give you the tickets, and you can go take a look for me?"
The elven soldier took the tickets from the dwarf and glanced at him. He raised his head and asked, "Is it the show "Cromwell"? What's your niece playing in it? It can't be that the tickets can't be sold, so you gave them to us, right?"
"Stop speculating." Abel waved his hand and said to the dwarf, "Old master, thank you. We'll take them."
"It's okay." the dwarf took a puff of water smoke and replied with a smile.
"Old man, you'd better smoke less. Every time I pass by your place, I choke on the smell." the elven soldier suggested while wrinkled his nose and waved his hand.
"That won't do. I've carried this pipe with me for decades." the dwarf shook his head and said, "I feel uncomfortable every day when I don't hold it."
"Then you…" the elven soldier wanted to say something but was interrupted by Abel.
"Alright, stop trying to persuade him. Do you really think this master doesn't know what he's doing?" After saying this, Abel led the soldier to the main road of the dwarf town.
"You must remember to go and see it. The show is about to begin." the dwarf stuck his head out of the window and shouted at the backs of the two people.
"Show me the tickets." Abel reached out his hand to the elven soldier beside him and demanded.
The soldier's expression was a little surprised, and he handed over the tickets. "Boss, you really want to go?"
Abel ignored the soldier's question and flipped to the back of the ticket. There was a line of words on it. The ink was still wet.
"The orcs in the forest have been following you for a few days."
The soldier leaned his head over and noticed the line of words on the paper. He sucked in a breath of cold air and said, "Our operation has been discovered?"
"Indeed. Recently, we have been entering and leaving the dwarf town too frequently." Abel sighed and said, "The forces of the dark side have begun to be wary of us."
"Why would the dwarf guarding the city help us?" the soldier asked curiously.
"I don't know." Abel put away the tickets and shook his head. "He reminded us that he did not take sides, or he was on the side of the forces of the light."
With that said, an idea flashed through Abel's mind. With the help of the forces of the dark side, Raphael had occupied a piece of land by the coast. Then, would anyone from the forces of light notice them?
"Boss, where are we going now?" the elven soldier's question interrupted Abel's thought.
Abel looked at him helplessly and said, "Of course we can't go ambush them. Let's take a stroll around the city and leave."
"Okay." the elven soldier turned around and glanced in the direction of the city gate.
Abel put his arm around the elven soldier's shoulder and reminded him not to look back.

Chapter 788: The Traitor Mentioned by the Comrades
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Abel and the elven soldier walked around the alleyway in the town for a long time.
After confirming that the orcs behind them had disappeared, Abel finally calmed down and let out a long breath.
"Boss, are we going back now?" the elven soldier asked Abel.
"Yes." Abel nodded. Then, he began to look at the surrounding buildings and said, "Where are we?"
"I don't know either." the elven soldier shook his head and replied, "Why don't we ask the pedestrians on the street?"
"Yes, go and ask someone. Remember, be polite." Abel instructed.
"Yes." after the soldier nodded, he walked to the main street and stopped a dwarf. He asked, "Mister, do you know where this is?"
"This is the West Cellar." the dwarf raised his hand and pointed at the road sign on the side of the street without raising his head. He answered, "Isn't it written on this road sign?"
"Ah, I see. Thank you, thank you." an awkward smile appeared on the elven soldier's face. He retreated to the side and made way for the dwarf.
After seeing the dwarf walk far away, the elven soldier returned to Abel's side and reported, "Boss, they said this is the West Cellar."
"West Cellar?" Abel frowned. He felt that this name was somewhat familiar. He asked, "Have we heard of it before?"
"I seem to remember it too…" the soldier pondered. "Right, the old man guarding the city gate. Isn't his niece acting in the West Cellar?"
"Yes, you're right." Abel also regained his memory. He said, "Then let's go and support his niece."
The elven soldier widened his eyes and asked, "Boss, are we really going?"
"Of course. After all, the old dwarf kindly reminded us once. No matter what, we have to do what we promised him." Abel nodded. "If you don't want to go, I'll go myself."
"No, no, no, I'll go too." the elven soldier waved his hand in panic.
"Let's go." Abel said. "I was wondering why the people on the street were walking in the same direction. It seems that everyone is here to watch the show. Just follow them."
"Yes."
The two of them followed the flow of people on the street and went to the most famous theater in the Western Cellar.
The bodies of Claremont and the others were transported back to Drondheim's military camp. The news spread in the city, and the relatives of the deceased came military camp for a few days in a row. Mournful wails spread throughout the entire military camp. Adonis was responsible for commanding the soldiers to maintain order. When the families of the sacrificed soldiers pounced in front of him and asked him why his son had fallen into the deep sea, he could only suppress his grief and explain to them word by word.
"The plotters who framed the soldiers will definitely be punished." Adonis guaranteed.
The parents of the dead soldiers who knelt in front of the mourning hall and cried until they fainted. They were all carefully taken care of by their sons' comrades later on.
When the news of the deaths of all the soldiers reached Drondheim City, the people were even more incredulous.
The compensation sent by the royal family didn't give them any sense of reality.
When the soldiers' bodies were transported back to the city, they saw that the familiar faces never opened their eyes again. Only then they felt the immeasurable pain from the bottom of their hearts.
When Derrick knew that the soldiers' bodies would be cremated in three days, he rushed back to Devitt from Durandal without a moment's delay with Devitt and the others.
When their horse caravan entered the city gate, the people stood on both sides of the road to welcome their return.
Devitt's father and mother immediately rushed to the front of Devitt's horse. With tears in their eyes, they greeted him, "You're back."
Devitt was helped off the horse by the soldiers accompanying him. When he saw his parents, tears began to fall uncontrollably.
"Father, mother." Devitt choked with sobs. "I'm sorry."
When he woke up in the hospital bed, the amputation operation had already ended. His right leg had been replaced with a prosthetic limb.
"It's fine. You're back, that's all that matters." Devitt's father walked forward and hugged his helpless son.
After returning to the barracks, Derrick immediately walked to the mourning hall and prostrated himself in front of Claremont's coffin.
Derrick's heart seemed to have been pierced through by sword. He could only cover his mouth to prevent himself from crying.
In his impression, Claremont had always been a quiet and kind child. He liked to hide in a corner and read books that others couldn't understand. Although he rarely took the initiative to communicate with you, you could read his respect for you and his love for the military camp from his devout eyes.
Claremont's father had passed away seven or eight years ago, leaving his mother alone in the family. Thinking of the lonely figure of the old woman, Derrick's throat felt like it was being squeezed by someone. So painful that he couldn't make any sound.
When Derrick learned that Claremont was about to be appointed by Kant as the commander, he felt envious, and even a hint of injustice. Now that he thought about it, he was really too childish back then.
Adonis walked over and helped Derrick sit down on a chair to the side. Seeing that he had buried his face between his knees, Adonis also sat down beside Derrick.
"Claremont's mother arrived this morning. She has fainted from crying and is being taken care of in the infirmary." Adonis said softly as he leaned back in his chair.
"Is the old lady alright?" Derrick finally raised his head, his eyes still bloodshot.
"She's fine." Adonis looked at him and answered, "She's just hyperventilating."
"Okay." Derrick nodded and said, "Claremont is one of my soldiers. In the future, I'll take care of his elderly's pension." Derrick nodded
"His Highness has already allocated a batch of compensation to the relatives of the deceased soldiers. There's no need for you to worry about this." Adonis waved his hand and said.
"No, Claremont has yet to fulfill his filial piety. I will complete it for him. His mother will be my family. I'll take care of her." Derrick said with a determined look in his eyes.
"Then, are you ready to return to Drondheim?" Adonis' eyes turned serious.
"Yes." Derrick nodded. Derrick nodded.
"Sigh." Adonis sighed and said, "Since you made your own choice, I will support you."
The conversation between the two ended. After leaning back on the chair to rest for a while, Adonis got up and continued with his duties. As for Derrick, he went to the infirmary to visit Claremont's mother.
Three days later, the bodies of seven soldiers were cremated, and their ashes were sent to their respective homes.

Chapter 789: Chapter 789 unfolded unexpectedly
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After entering the theater, Abel handed the ticket in his hand to the ticket checker.
When the ticket checker saw the ticket, his expression changed. He beckoned for a subordinate to take over his work while he led Abel and Abel into the courtyard. He bowed and said, "Gentlemen, please follow me."
Abel and the soldier beside him looked at each other. Both of them felt that the ticket checker's behavior was a little strange.
However, they still followed behind the ticket inspector without saying a word.
When they passed by the stage, the Elven soldier could not help but ask Abel in a low voice, "Boss, where is this person taking us?"
"I don't know."Abel thought for a while and finally understood the person's motive. He replied, "However, since the old dwarf recommended us to come here, he naturally has his reasons."
"AH? So the old dwarf didn't want us to come here to watch a show…"the elven soldier said in surprise. However, halfway through his words, he was cut off.
"The two of you have arrived. "The ticket inspector walked to a secret door , opened the mechanism, and said to Abel and the Elven soldier.
Abel looked up at the ticket inspector, nodded, and walked into the door. The Elven soldier hesitated for a moment, then followed him in.
The space inside the secret door was a venue that could accommodate hundreds or thousands of people. At this time, only the lighting in the center of the venue was turned on. The audience seats were crowded.
Seeing this, Abel and the Elven soldier found an empty seat in the back row and sat down, waiting for the opening.
"It's So Big."The elven soldier exclaimed, "Why is there always such a trap room on this island? The Centaur tribe we met a few months ago also has such a trap room."
"The Centaur race uses a formation. This is just a common trap room.". "How can the two be the same?"Abel shook his head and said, "The existence of such a thing can only mean that these people want to pass on information that they don't want to be overheard by mixed people."
"I see. "The Elven soldier nodded and said.
"Since they are on the opposite side of the people who are following us, this group of people should also represent some forces that have already raised their heads. "Abel looked around, he said, "I didn't expect the confrontation on the island to have developed to this extent.'
After the two entered the venue, they began to talk in Elf language. Although the people around heard their conversation, they had no way of knowing the content of the conversation.
However, some people still recognized the two of them.
A siren turned to the two people sitting behind him and said with a smile, "You are elves, right? I heard you talking in Elf language just now."
"You can understand us?"Abel frowned. In his eyes, eavesdropping on the conversation of others was very impolite.
"No, it's just that your voices were slightly transmitted to the front, "the siren explained patiently. "I've traveled to the Elf Kingdom before, and I heard that your pronunciation was a little similar, so I was a little curious."
"I see. I'm sorry, but we'll turn down the volume,"Abel replied in a gentler tone.
"It's fine. "The siren still maintained his smile. After leaving this sentence, he turned around.
Abel and the Elven soldier looked at each other and shrugged.
Kant and the others had already stayed at sea for seven days. In three days, they would arrive at the island.
Because it was the first time for the soldier on the ship to take a ship, many people already had symptoms of discomfort.
"The climate in the desert is relatively dry, especially in Durandal. Soldiers should not be used to being at sea, "Bunduk stood on the deck and said to Kant.
"It's time to train the soldier's swimming skills,"Kant said.
"After all this, they should be used to the sea's climate, "Bunduk said.
"This is your first time taking a boat, right?"Kant asked, "Is there anything you're not used to?"
"That's right, it's very strange. I don't have any strong reactions. Maybe I went to the beach with the soldier when I was in Cumberland.
"Hehe."Kant smiled and looked at him, he said, "Playing by the beach and taking a boat are two different things. In the end, it's because your physical fitness is too good. It would be great if the other soldier could also be like you."
"This…"Bunduk scratched his head and laughed as well.
"I arranged for you to send a letter to the Elf Kingdom. How did you returned to business.
"I gave it to the messenger before the ship set off. I think the Elf king received it a few days ago, "Bunduk replied. "Yes. "Kant nodded and replied, "What did you write in the letter?"
"Ah, I forgot to give it to His Majesty Kant for you to read. It's really a dereliction of duty. "Bunduk slapped his forehead and responded, "In the letter, I only wrote about the matter of us going to the island and an introduction of Raphael's recent situation."
"It's alright. Since I've handed this matter over to you, there's no need for you to hand it over to me for verification. "Kant waved his hand and said, "Raphael's recent situation? Oh right, I haven't seen him much on this ship."
'Yes, "Bunduk replied. "Raphael never went out much. The food was also sent to his room by my subordinate soldier."
"What was he doing in his room? Did you hear your soldier mention it?"Kant raised his eyebrows and asked.
'Every time the soldier went to deliver food, Raphael would lie on the bed and look out of the window. He didn't do anything. "Bunduk thought for a while, "But the crew members reported to us that Raphael often appeared on the deck at night. It seems that only then would he go out of his room to relax."
"I see,"Kant nodded.
"Raphael's status…"Bunduk said worriedly.
"Don't worry. Although I don't know what he is thinking, his status should not affect him to do some extreme things, "Kant said, shaking his head.
'Yes, "Bunduk answered, lowering his head.
'We are about to go ashore. I have to find an opportunity to communicate with him. "Kant thought for a moment and continued, "We have to make sure that he will stand on our side in the future.
"Perhaps only his majesty can do such a thing."
After dinner, Kant leaned against the mast on the deck and watched the sunset on the sea while waiting for Raphael to appear.
When he heard hurried footsteps behind him, Kant spoke and stopped Raphael from leaving. "Raphael, let's talk."
Raphael timidly walked in front of Kant and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Sit down first."Kant raised his hand and pointed to a chair at the side.
Raphael pursed his lips tightly and walked to the chair that Kant had designated and sat down. He looked very reserved..

Chapter 790: Chapter 790, speech at the underground conference hall
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Do you know why we want to take you to the island?"Kant looked at Raphael and asked.
"Yes."Raphael lowered his eyes and said, "You want me to find the hidden forces on the island for you."
When Kant heard Raphael's answer, he was silent for a moment before he said, "Then will you do this for us?"
Raphael fell into silence. He did not answer Kant's question. Instead, he asked, "If I don't agree, will you let me go?"
"No,"Kant denied with a poker face. "We will use you as bait. We will do everything we can to lure out the leader of the forces who issued the order to kill you."
Raphael raised his head and met Kant's gaze. His eyes were filled with despair. He closed his eyes and asked, "Then why are you talking to me about this?"
"Because I want to give you a chance to make a choice,"Kant said. "Do you want to carry the lives of others on your shoulders, or do you want to use your blood-stained hands to atone for your sins?"
"I understand."The expression on Raphael's face became complicated. He said to Kant, "I'll cooperate with you."
"Mm."Kant stood up and looked down at Raphael. "We won't put too much pressure on you. You just need to go with the flow."
After saying this, Kant left the deck and walked towards his cabin.
"Go with the flow…"Raphael raised his right wrist in front of him. He bared his sharp teeth and bit down.
But in the end, he still restrained himself, leaving only a slightly deep bite mark on his skin.
Boiling Hot tears flowed out of Raphael's eyes and dripped onto his arm.
"To live… it's really hard…"
Under the moonlight, Raphael's body trembled due to his sobbing movements.
The people in the venue gradually quieted down.
The lights on the podium converged in one place.
A slightly plump dwarf walked to the podium, the host said, "Welcome all those who stand against the dark forces to this place and listen to this speech. "Since everyone is here, let us quickly begin. "First, let us welcome young master Isaac to the stage to make a speech for us."
This dwarf's status was not ordinary. As soon as he stood on the stage and spoke, the people below the stage immediately quieted down.
"Isaac? Who Is It?"Abel blurted out.
At this moment, a burly middle-aged man walked onto the stage under everyone's gaze.
The gown he was wearing seemed to be a size smaller. The cloth was completely stuck to his muscles, allowing people to see his well-proportioned and perfect figure at a glance.
"So Sturdy."The Elven soldier sighed.
"That's the second young master of the Dragon Clan, even though he's not the legitimate heir. "But to be able to attend a place like this is already giving the dwarf clan's organizer a lot of face."An angel sitting behind Abel interrupted, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Dragon Clan?"Abel was startled. He recalled the encounter he had when he went to the volcano previously, in the territory of the Dragon Clan.
"Good evening, everyone,"Isaac greeted. His mouth was like an ancient bell, and his voice lingered in everyone's ears.
Now that the spotlight was on his face, Abel finally caught a glimpse of the tiny scales on his skin.
"The Dragon clan can transform like this!"The Elven soldier said in surprise.
In his impression, the Dragon clan should be an ancient behemoth that lived in caves and hissed in the sky when hunting.
"The dragon race knows many kinds of spell. It's not strange that they have transformation tricks,"Abel said softly.
However, why would they participate in such an occasion? Before the opening ceremony, Abel knocked on all the audience members. Other than Behemoth, who devoured the world, almost all the nomads on the island had come.
"Everyone knows that a month ago, our Dragon Clan woke up early from the scheduled hibernation period,"Isaac said expressionlessly. "We also found that the pseudo dragon in the estate had been surrounded and exterminated. "After our investigation, it was a trick played by some people who were stirring up trouble on the dark side of the island. They wanted to use our knives to destroy the dwarf who was in power in the clan."
"What?"The audience was shocked. After all, the clarification had not reached the island, so many people heard this news for the first time.
"We have found the traitor who was involved in the scheme of the foreign tribe."Isaac threw a heavy punch and said, "And during the interrogation, we got the names of the people who participated in this operation."
Hearing this, Abel's breathing stopped. The Dragon tribe moved too fast. The development of the matter had already left a lot of information in Abel's hands.
"After this meeting is over, I will send the names to everyone. I hope that everyone can report to their superiors so that they can clean up in time,"Isaac said indifferently. "My speech ends here."
From the beginning to the end, Isaac's expression was very cold.
"This meeting is too interesting!"The person sitting next to Abel shouted excitedly.
"Boss, will the list mentioned by this person also be sent to us?"The Elven soldier asked in puzzlement.
"I don't know,"Abel replied. Then, he looked around and found that everyone was very happy.
Amidst the applause and cheers, Isaac walked straight off the stage and disappeared behind the curtain.
Abel stared at his back, his eyes filled with confusion. Why did he distribute the list that he had worked so hard to come up with to everyone present? The Dragon Tribe's way of doing things was indeed very decisive, but this time, they were really too bold.
Then, a few representatives of the various races came up to the podium to speak.
Abel listened attentively until everyone left their seats and went to a corner under the podium. Only then did Abel stand up and walk over.
A skinny dwarf asked everyone to write down their names and age in the name book on the table.
"Is this a ceremony to participate in this conference?"The Elven soldier hesitated whether to write down his real name.
"Since you've come here to listen to so much, you should follow their rules at the end,"Abel instructed.
As he spoke, he bent down and wrote down his real name on the paper in Esperanto. When he handed the pen back to the dwarf, the dwarf looked at him and said, "Are you an elf?"
"Yes,"Abel raised his head and replied.
The dwarf's expression became strange. Abel was not used to the way the dwarf looked at him. He immediately walked out of the formation.
When he reached the door, Abel heard the elven soldier behind him shout, "Boss, you forgot to take something."
"What?"Abel touched his pocket and turned around to ask.

Chapter 791: Chapter 791. Troops arriving at the shore

"Name list."The Elven soldier handed a piece of paper to Abel and said, "The dwarf asked me to give it to you."
Abel raised his eyebrows and said, "Everyone who has registered their name will get this, right?"
"Yes,"the Elven soldier replied.
"I see."Abel took the name list and looked at it carefully.
He barely knew the people on the list. There was also no race at the end of the name.
"There are so many people involved in the betrayer of the Dragon Clan?"Abel said in surprise.
"Raphael and the others are not on this list,"said the Elven soldier.
Abel nodded and recalled the timeline. He said, "Although the authenticity of this list is still uncertain, Raphael was indeed still in the forest at that time, delivering the news for us. He had yet to participate in the group of Dark Forces."
"Mm."The soldier nodded after listening to Abel's explanation.
"How did the dwarf pass the list to You?"Abel put away the page and asked the soldier.
"The same paper was folded in a big pile at the corner of the table where the name book was placed. It seems that the dwarf didn't have time to pass it to you before you left."The soldier thought for a moment, "After knowing that I was with you, the dwarf passed the list to me."
"Did he say anything to you?"Abel continued to ask.
The soldier tilted his head and thought for a while before answering, "No."
"Good. Now we have to hurry back,"Abel said. "The town's city gate will be closed at six in the afternoon."
"Yes,"the soldier replied.
The two of them immediately set off and walked out of the theater. Following the direction of the road sign, they rushed toward the city gate.
After returning to the military barrack, Abel immediately gathered the soldier who had returned to the military barrack together. He said to them, "Everyone, there's no need to go to the city tomorrow to keep an eye on them. The people from the ship society are more suitable for surveillance than us. We have already been targeted by the dark forces."
"Captain!"! The ship society received the news from the Elf Kingdom. "His Majesty Kant of Caradia told us not to act rashly and wait for him to bring the soldiers of Caradia to the island."A soldier who had received the letter rushed into the tent, he reported to Abel.
Abel took the letter and glanced at the date on the envelope. In his heart, he calculated that Kant and his group would arrive at the coast the day after tomorrow.
"It seems that we made the right decision at the beginning. His Majesty Kant doesn't want to alert the enemy."Abel instructed, "Everyone, hold your positions and act according to the usual schedule in the military barrack. "Let the people who are watching us lower their guard. "After your Highness Kant arrives, we will prepare the next step of our operation."
"Yes!"The soldier replied.
"Remember to keep in contact with the ship company at all times. The information they have is also very important,"Abel instructed a subordinate standing beside him.
"Yes, Captain!"
On the day when Kant's ship was expected to arrive, Abel stood by the shore of the harbor early and waited.
The sparkling sea reflected his melancholic face.
A few days ago, a letter came, informing him that seven Caradia soldier had died in battle and that Devitt and the others had undergone amputations.
At this moment, there were two people that Abel found the most difficult to face. One was Devitt himself, and the other was Raphael, whom he had been good friends with for ten years.
If he did not take the initiative to find and apologize to Devitt, it would be very difficult for him to see him again in his life.
And Raphael was sitting on this small boat that was about to reach the harbor.
Abel's entire body sank into a deep feeling of powerlessness. He did not know what kind of scene he would see when he saw Raphael.
thud — * The sound of a whistle came from afar.
The ship with Caradia's national emblem on it sailed into the harbor. Abel clenched his fists and walked towards the exit of the harbor.
He was the only one who came to welcome him today.
The reason for this was: firstly, he did not want to attract the attention of the dark forces for the time being, and secondly, Abel was worried that his soldier would not be able to control his emotions. He did something irreversible to Raphael.
Kant walked at the forefront of the group. His powerful aura instantly stole the sight of the pedestrians around him.
Abel also followed the discussions of the people and raised his head to look over.
Kant walked straight to bunduk and greeted, "Hello, I am the Lord of Caradia, Kant."
"Your Majesty Kant, Hello."Abel was stunned for a second, then came back to his senses. He bowed and said, "I am the captain of the Elven soldier stationed on the island, Abel."
"Yes, I've heard of your name."Kant nodded and said.
"The matter of the CARADIA soldier who set off from the island…"Abel clenched his fists and said.
"It's already over."Kant patted his shoulder and comforted him. "We are here to seek an explanation for their sacrifice."
"I'm really… Sorry."Abel's expression was sorrowful.
This sorrow had been buried in his heart since the day the news came. Only now, when he saw Kant and the others, did he finally reveal all of his emotions.
"It's okay,"Kant said as he looked at him. His Hand had been placed on Abel's hunched back the whole time.
Bunduk could not help but be moved as he said to Abel, "You don't have to blame yourself."
"… I'll take you to the camp. The soldier is waiting for you,"Abel calmed himself down and said to Kant.
"Okay,"Kant replied.
A group of people set off from the harbor to the camp.
On the way, Abel reported to Kant and Bunduk what happened the day before yesterday.
After listening to Abel's statement, Kant thought for a while, he said, "Actually, I don't really believe that there are traitors in the Dragon Clan. This event should be the Dragon Clan's attempt to distinguish the forces on the island from each other."
"Yeah, I think so too,"Bunduk agreed. "Apart from that, I really can't think of why the Dragon Clan would make such a ruckus."
Abel was slightly surprised by the two's speculation. He asked tentatively, "Then what should we do now?"
"You made the right choice by withdrawing the elven soldier from the city,"Kant said. "All the forces on the shore of the island have gathered at this place. That place is indeed not suitable for you to stay in. "Let's stick to our original plan and take it one step at a time. "Arrange it tomorrow. I want to go to the boatyard and meet those people."
"Yes, your Majesty,"Abel and Bunduk answered in unison.
After a while, Abel took out the list in his pocket and asked Kant, "Your Majesty, do you want to take a look at this list again?"
"This list is very important."Kant took the list and looked at it carefully.

Chapter 792: Chapter 792. The trust that was shattered by his own hands
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Why isn't this list marked with the identity of these people?"Kant asked Abel, puzzled.
"I don't know either."Abel shook his head and replied.
Kant seemed to have been struggling with this question. As he walked on the road, his brows were tightly knitted.
"Your Majesty, is this question very important?"Bunduk could not help but ask tentatively.
"If you want to talk about whether it's important or not…"Kant curled his lips and said, "It makes my impression of the Dragon Clan become erratic."
"Your Majesty, you mean that the Dragon Clan hasn't decided to take sides?"Abel thought for a moment and asked.
Kant's eyes lit up and he smiled gently. "You're really smart."
Abel was flustered by this sudden compliment. He lowered his head shyly and did not say another word.
Seeing that Kant agreed with what he said, Bunduk continued to ask, "Since the Dragon Clan does not intend to join any faction, why are they acting so proactively?"
"The Dragon Clan's position on this island is not for nothing."Kant narrowed his eyes, he replied, "The reason why they took the initiative was to show their status as guardians. They appeared to be aggressive when they participated in this gathering, but they secretly left a way out for both sides."
"I see."Abel took over Kant's words and thought for a while before replying.
Kant looked at him with a smile and said, "You've helped a lot since the reconnaissance team was able to successfully complete the mission to help the Midget clan. In my impression, Devitt and Claremont didn't react as quickly as you did."
"Devitt and Claremont are both excellent leaders. I was only assisting them from the side."Abel's tone was not relaxed when he mentioned his deceased friend.
"Excellent people will always attract each other."Kant stretched out his hand and said to Abel, "I'm looking forward to working with you on this island. We must find the leader behind the scenes and make them pay the price."
"Yes. Of course we will do our best."Abel bowed respectfully and used his hands to hold back Kant's outstretched hand.
"This operation does not only require our hard work."Kant nodded and said, "We also need Raphael's assistance. His body does not seem to be in good condition. You should find time to visit him."
As he spoke, he pointed to the end of the group. Raphael was being carried behind him by a soldier.
When Abel heard Raphael's name, his body froze. He then applied to Kant, "Your Majesty, I don't think Raphael needs to be involved in this operation. He is already a traitor. Who knows when he might run away to seek protection in the enemy's territory."
"I heard that you and Raphael have known each other for ten years."Kant did not directly answer his question, instead, he replied, "You haven't met each other after this incident, right? Go and talk to him first. Ask him if he is willing to help us."
Abel raised his head and met Kant's gaze. When he saw the other party's determined gaze, he silently nodded.
The camp by the coast was still very close. In less than half an hour, a group of people walked to the door of the military barrack.
"Captain Abel! King Kant! Commander Bunduk!"The Elven soldier bowed in front of the three leaders.
"Get up,"Kant said.
When the Elven soldier straightened up, Abel asked one of his subordinates, "How's the situation outside the camp today?"
"The orcs who were monitoring the area a few days ago have already retreated,"the subordinate soldier reported.
"Yes,"Abel nodded and replied.
"The Dragon Clan's movements have probably spread throughout the entire coast. These people should not have the time to monitor us in the near future,"Bunduk deduced.
"Dinner is ready. Please put down your bags and follow the soldier in the camp to the dining hall,"Abel called out to the Caradia soldier behind him.
"Yes!"The soldier replied in unison.
This voice made Bunduk recall the time when he trekked in the forest. Every morning at the Assembly, the Caradia soldier would respond to his words in the same way.
His gaze unconsciously drifted to the end of the line.
"Raphael…"Abel said the name in a weak voice that could not be heard.
The atmosphere in the dining hall was not as lively as he had imagined. After all, everyone was still immersed in the sad atmosphere.
Abel looked around the dining hall and asked the subordinate who organized the soldiers to receive the meal, "Where are Lord Kant and Commander Bunduk?"
"They are still in the tent. They said that they will arrive a little later,"the soldier replied.
"Yes."Abel continued to ask, "What about Raphael?"
"Raphael… he's still resting in the tent. According to the soldier from Caradia, when he's on the ship, he won't go to the dining hall to eat. It's always the soldier who delivers food to him,"the soldier said carefully.
"Has today's dinner been delivered?"Abel took a deep breath and asked.
"Not yet."The soldier took out a plate filled with dishes and looked at Abel.
"I'll send it to him,"Abel said as he took the plate.
"Captain…"the soldier said worriedly as he handed the plate to Abel.
"Don't worry, I Won't attack him,"Abel said with an indifferent expression.
He turned around and walked out of the dining hall.
Raphael's place had always been reserved for him: a small tent in the corner of the camp.
Abel stood outside the tent with a tray in his hand and asked, "Raphael, are you there?"
The person inside did not respond. Abel lifted the curtain and walked in.
Raphael, who was lying on his bed, turned his head to look at him. Tears fell from his expressionless face.
Bunduk did not know who those tears were for. He sat down in front of him with a tray in his hand and said, "I heard that you need someone to bring you dinner before you eat."
Raphael pursed his lips and did not say a word. He stared straight at Abel's face.
Abel met his gaze, and his eyes began to turn red. He said in a choked voice, "I really don't understand why you would betray us. In my memory, you are not this kind of person."
"Thank you for coming to see me,"Raphael turned his face and said.
"Aren't you going to explain?"Abel put his hand on Raphael's shoulder and said.
"I just want to live."After Raphael said these words, he closed his eyes in pain.
"To live? What about Claremont and the others? "Should they bury their lives in the deep sea for you?"Bunduk roared. "Do you know that I still don't dare to tell the newly promoted Gilbert… "The news of Austin's death. "Because I'm afraid that he will pounce on me and question me. Your actions have caused so many people to suffer for it!"

Chapter 793: Chapter 793. A faint whimper
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Raphael buried his head between his knees. In response to Abel's question, there was only a faint whimper.
Abel's imposing manner gradually diminished. He walked beside Raphael's bed in silence.
"It's useless to cry. The Tears left behind by Claremont and the others'relatives will not be able to exchange for their lives,"Abel said. "This operation, let me trust you one more time. "I hope you can use your own strength to atone for your sins."
"Mm."Raphael's muffled voice reached Abel's ears.
Abel sighed, he stood up and said to Raphael, who was still unwilling to face him, "Hurry up and eat your dinner. It will be cold in a while. I hope that your body will recover quickly. After all, only then can you complete your mission."
Raphael nodded.
Seeing this, Abel turned around and left Raphael's tent. He slowly walked back to the dining hall.
When Abel walked into the dining hall, he found that Bunduk and Kant were already sitting at the table and enjoying their dinner.
"Captain Abel!"When Bunduk saw Abel, he immediately stood up and shouted enthusiastically.
Abel took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed his negative emotions. He tried his best to smile and Strode to the dining table. He greeted Bandark and Kant. "Your Majesty Kant, Commander Bunduk. I'm sorry I'm late."
"It's okay. Coincidentally, we just sat down. Let's eat together."Kant waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Okay. Then I'll sit down."Abel nodded and answered. He found a chair and sat down.
The three of them waited for the waiter to serve the dishes, then quietly began to eat.
When Kant ate, he was not used to talking to others while chewing food.
After Bunduk and Kant ate together several times, they also recognized this habit of his. And they kept quiet together with him.
However, today was the first time he met Kant and the others. When he saw Kant take the initiative to invite him to eat with him, he gladly agreed. During the meal, he had been observing the expressions of Kant and Abel. He looked very awkward.
Kant's appetite had always been very small. Not long after, he put down his knife and fork and used a napkin to wipe away the oil stains on the side of his mouth.
Abel's action of putting a carrot into his mouth paused, and then he put down his silver fork. He sat quietly on the spot.
Kant finally noticed his awkward look and said with a laugh, "This has always been my habit of eating. You Don't have to worry about it."
"That's right."Bunduk raised his head from the fierce battle with the food and nodded.
"Okay."Abel breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up the vegetables on the plate with his fork and continued to eat.
Kant sat at the side and asked the two of them, "How is the schedule for the visit to the ship's society coming along?"
"Yes, I have already sent a message to the members of the ship's society. They arranged to meet in the morning,"Abel replied. "When they heard the news of your arrival, King Kant, they were still very surprised."
"Yes, as long as everything goes smoothly."Kant nodded and replied, "Where is Bunduk?"
"I've arranged for my soldier to set off early in the morning and conduct an investigation on the way from here to the ship's society."Bunduk turned his body and replied.
"Yes, you've done well."Kant said, "Since the official matters have been explained clearly, I'll return to the camp to rest."
"Yes."Bunduk and Abel nodded and saluted to Kant.
"You two should rest early too."After Kant left a reminder, he got up and left the restaurant.
After watching Kant leave, Bunduk continued to fight with the food on his plate.
"I heard that you went to look for Raphael."After putting a mouthful of food into his mouth, Bunduk looked at Abel and asked.
Abel put down the knife and fork in his hand. He had almost finished eating.
"Yes."
"Did he say anything to you?"Bunduk continued to eat without caring about his image. "Because I heard that you were his friend for ten years."
"No."Abel frowned and said, "His mood is very bad. He feels that his entire status is very unstable."
"I went to look for him once before. He told me a lot of things about gods,"Bunduk explained. "Actually, I don't really understand."
"Raphael was very confident. Before he walked out of the military barrack, he was also a highly regarded military officer."Abel's gaze became unfocused.
"A soldier who did not walk out of the military barrack…"Bunduk stared at the steak on his plate and whispered.
"Raphael was really smart, especially when it came to understanding."Abel's gaze fell on Bunduk. "He was able to accomplish all the tasks given to us by our superiors."
"Perhaps it was these experiences that accumulated his confidence."Bunduk finished his meal as well. The two of them looked at each other and chatted.
"Yes."Abel agreed. "At that time, he was standing at the top of the crowd and shining. "After all, he was only seventeen when he entered the military barrack. "I asked him before: what was supporting him in his advancement?"
"What did he say?"Bunduk asked while picking his teeth.
"He said, 'it's an idea.'"Abel seemed to have thought of something. The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. "He said that God is on his side. As long as he wants to do something, he can do it."
Bunduk frowned because of the memories Abel mentioned. He hesitated and said, "Is he religious?"
Bunduk's knowledge of religion and mysticism was at a blank stage, which was why he had such a question.
"No. He only believes in the 'God'in his body,"Abel closed his eyes and answered softly.
"It's really troublesome…"bunduk said, "Thinking about it, it's understandable that he has been avoiding this for the past few days."
"The collapse of the god in his heart is also a good thing for him,"Abel said. "I'm just worried that he'll come up with some new and strange ideas."
"It's not impossible,"Bunduk replied. "However, with you by his side guiding him, perhaps he'll be able to break free from his self-sealing status and return to the real world."
"It's because I was too short-sighted in the past. I only saw the halo of a 'smart person'enveloping him. I didn't notice that things would develop in an extreme direction."Abel raised his hand to cover his face, he said in a muffled voice, "Now, it's already beyond redemption."
Bunduk stared at Abel. His gaze was extremely serious as he said, "Actually, it's quite pitiful to keep finding excuses to cover up for yourself. You have to retain your friend's will before he breaks down."

Chapter 794: Chapter 794. The position of the shipping company
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The conversation that night lasted until very late.
When everyone had dispersed, Bunduk and Abel walked out of the restaurant side by side.
Standing outside the restaurant door, Abel asked Bunduk, "Commander Bunduk, don't you hate Raphael?"
"I hate him,"Bunduk said. "But people can't be resurrected from the dead. We are all people controlled by fate. Seeing his pained expression, I believe that he will help us find the leader of the Dark Forces."
Abel nodded at Bunduk and said, "Indeed. Right now, the most important thing is to expose the dark forces'conspiracy."
"It's getting late. Go back and rest early. We have to leave early tomorrow,"Bunduk said to Abel.
"Yes."After bowing, Abel turned around and walked towards his tent.
When he passed by Raphael's tent, he stood at the door and hesitated for a long time. Then, he lifted the curtain and walked in.
When he saw that Raphael had already fallen asleep on the bed, Abel blew out the candlestick on the table and quietly retreated.
In the darkness, Raphael opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the door. However, he only caught Abel's back.
The next morning, before Kant woke up. Bunduk and Abel led a portion of the soldier and set off.
From the camp to the ship company by the sea, they needed to go through more than half of the shore.
The soldier's footsteps were extremely fast. As they ran, they checked if there were any traps in the grass by the road, or if there were signs of people squatting.
When the Caradia soldier raised dust on the ground, the Elven soldier flew in the air. From time to time, he jumped back and forth between the branches, scaring the birds on the trees out of the forest.
"We have checked everywhere. There is no ambush,"Abel reported to bandark.
Abel looked behind him and said, "Then let's withdraw the troops. His Majesty Kant is probably preparing to wash up."
"Yes."Abel nodded. "Withdraw the troops!"
When the group returned to the military barrack, Kant had already tidied up his clothes and was waiting for them with a group of soldiers in the open space of the camp.
"You're back?"Kant said to the two leaders.
"Yes, Your Majesty."Bunduk and Abel squatted down and saluted together. "We have already examined the path of this journey and did not find any problems. We can confirm that it is safe."
"Alright, let's set off."Kant nodded and said.
The Elven soldier stayed behind and was responsible for guarding the military barrack. Abel was responsible for leading all the CARADIA soldier to escort Kant to the ship company.
At noon, a group of people arrived at Pikozawa sea transport.
The ship company sent many people to welcome Kant at the door. Some people even went forward to offer a wreath to Kant. However, they were stopped by Bunduk.
"Where's President Clough?"Abel asked.
"The president is waiting for you in the office upstairs."A siren walked out and made an introduction to the guests. "However, the conference room upstairs isn't that big. Can you all please rest in the VIP room for a while…"
"Yes."Kant nodded and agreed. "Bunduk and Abel, follow me up to meet the president. The rest of the soldier follow the attendants to the lounge to wait."
"Thank you for your cooperation."The sea monster bowed and nodded. "My Lords, please follow me."
The sea monster stood at the front and led the way. Abel followed closely behind. Behind him was Kant, and behind Kant was Bunduk. The two of them surrounded Kant to ensure his safety.
"Dong Dong Dong."The sea monster walked up the stairs and stopped in front of a door. She raised her hand and gently knocked on the door. "Lord Clough. The guests from Caradia have arrived."
"Please come in."Clough's voice came through the door.
The siren unlocked the door and pushed it open. She bowed and made an inviting gesture to Kant and the others.
Abel Strode in. He had met President Clough before, so he was not unfamiliar with the environment of this office.
When Kant entered the door, he noticed Clough's identity. He was also a siren. His light blue skin had fish scales on it, and his body was rather bloated. However, his eyes were unexpectedly lively. His clothes emitted the aura of a merchant.
Clough walked forward with a smile and hugged Kant. He greeted, "King Kant of Caradia. This is our first meeting. Please take care of us."
"Hello."Kant nodded and replied briefly.
After Bunduk and Abel shook hands with Kroft, Kroft returned to his seat and gestured for the three of them to take their seats.
"A large part of the responsibility for this accident lies with the crew members of our ship company. For this, I represent to express our heartfelt apologies to your Majesty Kant."The conversation officially began. Clough pursed his dry lips and spoke first.
"This matter is the result of the employees'own conduct problems, and it is also affected by many unexpected external factors. President, you don't have to apologize to us."Kant waved his hand and replied.
"I heard that the ship's society retrieved the remains of a portion of the crew from the bottom of the sea…"Abel said.
"Yes."The president's expression became solemn. He nodded and said, "We have already detected the ingredients of the knockout powder on a portion of the dead crew members. They must have been killed after rejecting the bribe."
"I see…"Kant lowered his head and mourned for the dead crew members.
"The crew members are all orphans adopted by me. There are no relatives on the island,"the president stated. "I didn't expect that there would be someone among them who watched their brothers and sisters who grew up together being hurt but remained unmoved."
"Since the crew members are already under surveillance, president, what are your plans?"Bunduk asked.
"I'm sorry."The president sighed and said, "I just want to cut ties with them now. Our ship society will not give them a position to serve such crew members."
"Yes."Kant nodded and said, "Thank you, President Clough, for your assistance over the past few days. Leave the rest to us."
"What do you plan to do?"The captain asked nervously.
"Since you have already planned to withdraw from this matter, captain, our plan will naturally not be revealed to you,"Abel stood up and explained.
"You're right."Clough was stunned for a second and said, "The life and death of those crew members has nothing to do with me anymore."
After staying on the island for so many years, President Clough was not sensitive to actions such as 'execution'.
"Yes."Kant nodded to Clough's attitude, he stood up and said, "I've already seen the compensation form from the ship company. I said from the beginning that you're not responsible for this accident. Forget about the compensation."

Chapter 795: Chapter 795. The initial plan of action
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Clough raised his head and met Kant's gaze. After seeing the determination in the other party's eyes. He compromised and said, "Alright."
"Then we'll take our leave first."Bunduk stood behind Kant and said, "Lord President, please send someone to hand over the relevant details of the crew members in the city to our soldier."
"Okay."Clough stood up to send him off and said, "If Caradia has any desire to cooperate in the future, pious boat club will always welcome you."
"Thank you."Walking to the door, Kant turned around and replied to Clough.
"Take care, the three of you."
After Kant walked out of the Boat Club, he returned to the living quarters of the military barrack.
"The boss of this boat club is really too insincere. In the conversation, he didn't even mention the news before the sinking of the ship."Abel's eyes were filled with dissatisfaction as he said angrily.
"He doesn't want to get involved in this mess. Just let him stay in the place he thinks is safe."Bunduk said, "Didn't His Majesty also not tell this President any news?"
"This trip has been in vain."Abel shook his head and said.
"It's also good to understand the ship club's position,"Kant said. "As long as he can remain neutral, it won't do us any harm."
"The situation on this island can not be avoided just because we don't get involved. In the end, how many people can remain neutral?"Bunduk sighed and said.
"When things have developed to that point, most of us have already withdrawn from this small island,"Kant replied. "How the dynasty changes here has nothing to do with us."
Even if the dark forces on the island had planned this shipwreck incident, Kant did not think that they would take their revenge to the Nahrin Desert. In this world, the areas of influence did not have a close relationship with each other. It did not matter if the island was overthrown by the dark forces, or if the person in charge on the surface continued to inherit the island. To Caradia, it did not matter.
The reason why Kant came here personally was to let the dark forces give an explanation to the dead soldier.
Other than that, he did not care.
When the group returned to the military barrack, it was already evening. The arduous journey on the road had taken too much time.
Abel wanted to provide Kant with a carriage. But they did not have the financial resources at the moment.
After Raphael left the island, the dark forces stopped sending supplies to the camp.
The group of Elven soldier could only rely on the remaining silver in their money bags to go to the dwarf town to buy supplies and barely survive.
Kant had also expected the situation of Abel and the others. He did not say anything and just hurried along with the others.
After they sat down in the tent, not long after, the news of the soldier sent to the city returned to the camp.
"Captain Abel, they are back."A soldier squatted in front of the three leaders and reported.
"Tell the soldier to come in quickly,"Kant ordered.
"Yes!"The soldier immediately retreated after receiving the order. He called the soldier who returned to the military barrack with the news into the tent where the three were.
"Captain Abel, His Majesty Kant, and Commander Bunduk."The two soldiers walked in front of Kant and the others and bowed.
"Have you handed it over to the people sent by the ship society?"Bunduk asked.
"Yes. They recorded the activity schedule of the crew members in the city on a piece of paper and handed this note to us."The soldier took out a few pages of paper and held them in Kant's hand.
Kant took the paper and skimmed through it. He said, "It is indeed very detailed. So, what did you see when you observed this group of people today?"
"They usually move in groups in the city,"the soldier reported. "Today, two people secretly arranged to meet with the old crew members of the ship company. We heard the content of the conversation. "They should be asking the old crew members to bring them back to the ship company."
Bunduk and Kant looked at each other and said, "Okay, how many people did you leave in the city this time?"
"Two people,"the soldier replied. "Because Captain Abel ordered us to reduce the movement of the tracking."
"Send more people over tomorrow,"Kant instructed. "Especially contact the two people from the ship society. Follow them closely."
"Yes!"The Elven soldier nodded.
"Alright, you've worked hard. Quickly go back and rest for a while,"Abel comforted them.
"Thank you, Captain Abel!"The soldier bowed and left.
"King Kant, when do you plan to take action?"Abel asked.
"Arrange for Raphael to meet with this group of crew members at some time. See if we can draw some clues,"Kant replied after thinking for a while.
After listening to Kant's decision, Bunduk nodded and agreed. "It is indeed a good idea, but will it attract the attention of the dark forces?"
"According to the situation around the camp over the past two days, the dark forces do not seem to be paying attention to us,"Abel considered.
"The forces on the island are probably making a big move recently. How can they care about outsiders like us?"Kant shook his head and said, "We also have to seize this opportunity."
"How is Raphael?"Bunduk asked Abel.
"I haven't seen him today. He must have stayed in his tent for another day,"Abel answered after thinking for a moment.
"Now is the time for him to tell us the clues he told us."A sharp light flashed in Kant's eyes. He continued, "After so many days of calming down, it's time for him to express his stance to us."
Abel's gaze became worried, but he did not say anything.
During dinner time, the three of them still sat at the same table and ate. The atmosphere at the dining table was still incomparably quiet. Until it was disturbed by the noise at the restaurant's door.
"What are those people doing?"Abel frowned and locked his gaze on the restaurant's door.
"Is that Raphael?"Bunduk also looked over and saw a familiar figure being pushed around by the people around him.
Raphael immediately stood up and walked over. He faced the noisy crowd and asked loudly, "What are you doing?"
Raphael's eyes lit up when his collar was pinched by someone. He raised his head and looked in Raphael's direction. When he saw Raphael's face, he actually smiled.
When Raphael saw his expression, he was stunned. He straightened his serious expression and stared at the elven soldier who had his hands around Raphael's neck. He said coldly, "Raphael is still your superior. Let him go."
"Captain…"the soldier called out in disbelief.
"Let him go,"Abel insisted. "Don't make things difficult for me."
When the Elven soldier heard this, he loosened his grip. Raphael fell to the floor.

"You're not injured, are you?"Abel stood in the middle of the crowd and reached out his hand to Raphael. He said softly.
Quite a number of soldiers who saw this scene left the dining hall while cursing.
"Where are you going?"Abel frowned and shouted at the back of the group of people. "The dishes for dinner haven't been served yet."
"Training!"The leading soldier said without turning his head. "Leave the dinner to Captain Raphael!"
Abel's expression turned ugly. Just as he was about to lose control of the anger in his chest, Raphael grabbed his hand and stood up with a smile. He said to him, "These lazy bastards will still go to training because of me."
Abel stared at Raphael for a long while and said, "Don't mind them. They're just still angry."
"I know,"Raphael lowered his head and replied. He used his hands to tidy up his dirty pants.
"How did you think of coming to the restaurant?"Abel stared into Raphael's eyes and asked.
"I felt that I was in good health today, so I came,"Raphael raised his head and said with a smile.
"Yes."Abel nodded and replied, "The dishes are about to be served. Come and sit with us and eat."
After listening to Abel's words, Raphael Glanced in the direction where Raphael came from. When he saw Kant and Bunduk, a hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes. However, in the end, he still accepted Abel's invitation. He followed behind Abel and took a seat beside him.
Kant, on the other hand, looked as if he had expected Raphael's arrival. There was a smile on his face the whole time.
Bunduk, on the other hand, looked a little at a loss. He greeted Raphael with a stiff expression. "Raphael, you're finally here."
"Yes."Raphael was also a little embarrassed.
"So many people left at once. It's quite a quiet place."Kant looked around and said as if nothing had happened.
"It's because I usually manage them too loosely."Abel took the initiative to apologize to Kant.
"It's fine."Kant smiled and said, "Since the dishes are all served, let's eat first. Raphael, if you have anything you want to say to us, wait until the dinner is over."
"Yes,"Raphael replied respectfully.
Kant nodded at Raphael's response. Then, he picked up his knife and fork, cut the steak on his plate, and quietly began to eat.
The others also began to taste the dishes in front of them.
The dinner ended the moment Kant put down his knife and fork. Because there was obviously something important to talk about tonight, Bunduk also joined the line of people who looked at him. When Kant wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin, he put down the pigeon leg in his hand.
Raphael's usual appetite was very small. He was the first of the four to put down his cutlery.
At this moment, his gaze stopped on Kant.
"The person who contacted me is called Frey. He is a ranger. I don't know the power behind him, but I can help you contact him,"Raphael said first.
"Mm."Kant nodded and said, "I'm surprised that the dark side was able to win over the ranger. How do you plan to contact him?"
"Actually, when I came to the island, he took the initiative to come to me,"Raphael explained. "I didn't tell them the purpose of your trip. Instead, I told him the news that the CARADIA soldier was completely wiped out."
Kant replied, "So, he did not continue to ask you about our news?"
"No. He does not seem to know your identity, your majesty,"Raphael replied sincerely.
"And then? When is the next time you will meet?"Kant continued to ask.
"Two days later,"Raphael answered simply. "This also reminds me that I need to express my position to you as soon as possible."
"Two days later?"Bunduk and Abel looked at each other and confirmed it with Raphael.
"Yes."Raphael asked curiously, "What's Wrong?"
"Nothing."Kant waved his hand indifferently. "I originally wanted to arrange for you to meet with the crew in the city that day. "But since you've already made an appointment with that Shadow, you don't have to worry about the arrangements there for the time being."
"Crew?"Raphael did not seem to have any impression of that group of people.
"It's the group of people who escaped early after receiving your bribe,"Abel explained flatly.
"OH."Raphael came to a sudden realization. When he remembered the appearance of that group of people, he could not help but frown. After a while, Raphael asked Kant, "Your Majesty, even though I've already decided to cooperate with you, I don't know what I should do."
Kant thought for a moment and said, "The next time shadow demon comes to look for you, we will set up an ambush near your tent. You just need to try your best to attract his attention and make him lower his guard."
"I see."There was a hint of embarrassment on Raphael's face, but he still agreed. "I will do my best."
"Also, it doesn't matter if you reveal our identities to him,"Kant exhorted. "When the time comes, you can weigh the situation yourself and tell him the truth."
"In that case…"Raphael said in surprise.
"Don't worry. Even if there is a sudden incident, we will be able to deal with it."Kant waved his hand to dispel Raphael's doubts and replied.
"Alright then,"Raphael agreed.
"Is that all you have to say?"Kant raised his head, smiled at Raphael, and said gently.
Raphael's body froze, and he lowered his head. He stood up and stood in front of the dining table, he knelt down and said, "Regarding the matter of the CARADIA soldier, I want to apologize to all of you. "I should not have compromised under the oppression of the dark forces. I have also let down the soldier who was led down this path by me."
Abel stood up from his chair and clenched his fists tightly. He stared nervously at Raphael, who was kneeling on the ground, and Kant, who was sitting in his original position with a calm expression on his face. He pursed his lips tightly and did not say anything.
The atmosphere in the hall was once very quiet. Finally, Kant stood up and walked up to Raphael. He said, "If this is possible, then I will represent the soldier of Caradia to forgive you."
Raphael raised his head in shock and looked at Kant's eyes, which were as calm as an ancient well. He was speechless for a long time.
"Raphael, there may be a god in this world,"Kant continued, "But he is not as unique as you think. In the future, walk out of your self-enclosed world."
"… Yes."Raphael nodded.
"You are a smart person. If you can focus your attention on the world in front of you."Kant smiled and said, "The meritorious deeds you accumulate in the future will wash away the stains on your hands."

Chapter 797: sailors who wish to leave the city
The next morning, Kant gathered Abel and Bunduk together. The three of them began to discuss their plans for the operation two days later.
"Shadow Stalker and Raphael agreed on a time at one o'clock in the morning,"Abel said.
"If we want to catch shadow stalker at night…"a difficult expression appeared on Abel's face. He said, "With our strength alone, I'm afraid it's still a little difficult."
"I've already sent a soldier to the dwarf guild in the town,"Kant replied. "I hope that we can find some methods from the information provided by the dwarf."
"Why don't we directly seek the help of the hunters in the Dwarf Guild?"Abel asked in puzzlement.
"I wanted to do the same before, but after I inquired about the process of issuing missions to the hunters. Kant replied, "Moreover, the guild members take too long to review the missions. We can't wait that long."
"I see."Abel nodded.
"The soldier will only be able to withdraw from the city in the evening. Let's discuss and see how the personnel should be deployed at that time,"Kant suggested.
"Yes."Bunduk nodded in response. "In order to not raise any suspicions, the soldier on duty that night will continue to patrol as usual. "After Raphael gave us the signal, I led my Caradia soldier to seal off the entrance to the entire military barrack."
"Leave the aerial inspection to us,"Abel continued. "That evening, I will leave the camp ahead of time with a few soldiers and observe shadow's movements from a distance."
"The Shadow Stalker's movements in the military barrack are strange and unpredictable,"Kant warned. "If you want to set up precautions ahead of time, you must be careful."
"Yes!"Abel replied.
"When the time comes, I will bring the guards accompanying me to meet up with Bunduk,"Kant said. "Use the tricks the dwarf taught us to subdue him."
"Your Majesty, you…"Bunduk and Abel looked at each other and said worriedly, "In order to ensure that we will not be attacked, it is better to stay in the camp and wait for the result."
"No."Kant shook his head, he replied, "I should still be the one to give the order to act. When the time comes, if I learn any important information from the conversation between Raphael and Shadow Rat, I will also need to make the decision to change the action plan."
Abel and Bunduk saw that Kant was still insisting on his opinion, so they compromised on this issue.
The Morning Operation Meeting ended.
Kant heard the elven soldier running in unison outside the camp. He looked at Abel strangely and asked, "I remember that the Elven soldier's physical training time was not so early, right?"
Bunduk walked to the entrance of the tent and glanced at it. He turned to Kant and said, "It looks like the group that left the restaurant last night."
"They did not behave like a soldier last night,"Abel explained. "As punishment, I ordered all of them to run twenty laps around the military barrack this morning."
"Twenty laps?"Bunduk said in surprise, "For the elven soldier who is usually absent in physical training, running this way is really tiring."
"Yes, occasional punishment is also necessary."Kant nodded. It was obvious that he did not agree with the style of this group of Elven soldier.
Abel lowered his head towards Kant and did not say anything.
The CARADIA soldier who had entered the city rushed back before dinner and brought the information of the Dwarf Guild.
"This time's action is really fast."Abel held a stack of the guild's specially made manuscripts, "The last time Devitt and Claremont went to the guild to look for information, the dwarf guild sent someone to send the information over the next morning."
"Maybe it's because the route they took this time didn't go through the hunter himself,"Kant explained. "This information was found by our soldier in the Dwarf Guild's database."
"It can be done like this?"Abel said in surprise.
"Yes. But after borrowing and reading this information, we need to return it to the database,"Kant replied. "And the deposit is also astonishingly high."
"I see."Abel nodded.
Kant and Bunduk took a portion of the information from Abel's hands. They divided the work and read it, discussing it in low voices from time to time.
"It seems that we have to use the magic of the Elves to deal with the Shadow Demon,"Kant said after reading all the information and taking a sip of tea.
"But the light magic mentioned in the ancient books doesn't exist in the current elves,"Abel said with a frown.
"It doesn't have to be light magic. Maybe the fire elf can achieve the same effect,"Bunduk suggested.
"Okay."Kant took out a piece of paper and said, "Since the ancients have left behind a formation to restrain the shadow spider, Let's test the power of this formation."
"Alright then."Abel took the piece of paper and studied it carefully. Then, he said, "I will think of a way to modify this formation so that it can restrain the shadow spider in Our Hands."
"Thank you for your hard work,"Bunduk looked at Abel and said.
"It's fine."Abel smiled gently and said, "The formation is still a relatively difficult field for me. "I have to bring the blueprint back and discuss it with my other comrades. "The remaining time is quite tight, so I'll take my leave first."
"Okay."Kant nodded and got up to send Abel away.
Then, he sat back in his original seat and began discussing with Bunduk the battle plan for Tomorrow Night.
It wasn't until dinner time that the two of them walked out of the tent in the center of the camp and headed towards the dining hall.
An Elven soldier stopped in front of Kant and saluted, "His Majesty Kant, Commander Bunduk."
"What is it? What's the matter?"Kant gestured for him to stand up and asked.
"The sailors in the city are preparing to leave the city tomorrow,"the soldier reported.
"Do you know where they are going?"Kant frowned and asked.
"From their conversation, it seems that they are going to the vicinity of the volcano,"the soldier said. "They said that they want to leave the city with the dwarf's trade caravan."
"Why did they run so far away?"Bunduk was puzzled.
"These crew members have long been notorious by the shore of the island,"explained the soldier. "They probably want to go to the foot of the volcano. No one knows their small town to find a living."
"I see."Bunduk nodded.
"Think of a way to keep them. Use money to get rid of the dwarf merchants who want to take them out of the city,"commanded Kant.
"Yes,"the soldier replied.
"We don't have any information about the situation at the foot of the volcano,"Kant said to Bunduk. "We can't let these crew members escape there."
Chapter 798: Laborious Formation
"Yes!"The soldier replied after receiving Kant's order.
"Have you reported this to Abel?"Bunduk asked.
"I have reported it to Captain Abel."The soldier nodded. "However, captain and the other soldiers seem to be very busy, so he asked me to inform his majesty and the Commander."
"Yes, Abel and the others are currently busy preparing for tomorrow's operation,"Kant said. "It's better not to disturb him for the time being."
"I understand,"the soldier bowed and replied politely.
"It's been hard on you. Go back and rest,"Kant said to the soldier who had been busy for the whole day.
After thanking him, the soldier turned and left.
"It seems that since the crew went ashore, the dark forces have not sent anyone to look for them,"Bunduk said to Kant as he walked to the restaurant.
"In the eyes of the dark forces, the sinking of the ship is just a small interlude that has been arranged."Kant shook his head, he replied, "They don't know these crew members either. However, if these crew members go to the foot of the volcano, they will come into contact with the dark forces sooner or later."
"I see."Bunduk nodded.
The two of them walked into the dining hall in the military barrack and sat down in a familiar corner. As soon as they sat down, they saw Raphael appear at the entrance of the dining hall alone.
"Raphael,"Bunduk stood up and called out.
"HMM? Commander Bunduk, His Majesty Kant."Raphael was stunned for a moment before he replied, "What about… Abel?"
"You came to look for him?"Bunduk motioned for Raphael to sit down and said, "He's still busy right now. I reckon that we'll have to find someone to deliver tonight's dinner to them."
Raphael hesitated for a moment before he sat down beside Kant. He looked at Bunduk and asked in surprise, "Them?"
"Didn't you notice that there are fewer people in the restaurant today?"Bunduk said with a smile, "Abel is leading his men to plan the Magic Circle that will be set up tomorrow in order to catch Shadow Crows."
"Hehe, after all, this is my second time coming to the restaurant today…"Raphael smiled apologetically.
"Ah…"Bunduk recalled what happened in the restaurant yesterday. Because of his slip of the tongue, his expression became awkward.
"A magic circle? I've never heard of such a thing from Abel before,"Raphael said as he shook his head nonchalantly.
"He didn't create it himself. We found the blueprint of the Magic Circle that can restrain the shadow spider from the Dwarf Guild's database,"Kant explained.
"After dinner, let's go together and see how their plan is going,"Bunduk suggested.
"Mm."Raphael nodded. "I'm still quite curious about what kind of Magic Circle Abel will lead his men to create."
Kant nodded in agreement with Bunduk. His dinner had already been served by the waiter in the kitchen. He was eating quietly at the moment.
After a while, Bunduk and Raphael's meals were served.
During the meal, Bunduk looked up at Raphael's eating style, he smiled and said, "By the way, Raphael, how is your recovery? You looked sick a few days ago. Now, your appetite seems much better."
"My body is quite good."Raphael wiped his mouth with a napkin and replied, "Previously, I felt very absent-minded and often had insomnia. I think it's probably because of mind power."
"It's good that you've recovered."Bunduk nodded.
Kant paused in the act of eating and glanced at Raphael, but he did not say anything.
Tonight's dinner took about an hour.
After sitting in their original seats and chatting with each other for a while, Kant brought Bunduk and Raphael to Abel's tent.
There were more than ten elven mages standing in the rather large tent. Apart from the soldier on sentry duty, all the Elven mages were present.
When everyone noticed Kant opening the curtain and walking in, they all knelt down on one knee and bowed. "King Kant! Commander Bunduk."
Raphael was the last one to walk. He was completely covered by Bunduk's tall figure. No one noticed that he was also there.
"Abel, how's the progress of the Magic Circle?"Kant walked in front of Abel and asked softly.
"We have found a new way to solve the problem of the lack of light elements."Abel's eyebrows were raised in joy. "The Magic Circle should be completed by tomorrow morning."
"Yes, thank you for your hard work."Kant's eyes were full of trust as he nodded at Abel.
"It's all thanks to everyone working together to come up with a solution to solve the problem of the mana source,"Abel said with a smile as he cast his gaze towards the other soldier in the camp.
Some of the elven soldier lowered their heads in embarrassment.
"What do you plan to do?"Raphael asked curiously.
After seeing Raphael's figure, the elven soldier exclaimed in disbelief and bewilderment.
"We plan to condense all kinds of elements together to replace light magic and become the support of the entire Magic Circle,"Abel explained with a hint of surprise in his eyes when he saw Raphael's face.
"It's indeed a good idea,"Raphael agreed with a smile after thinking for a while.
"It might take about fifteen minutes for us to set up the Magic Circle."Abel looked into Raphael's eyes and said, "It's up to you how to stall for time."
"Fifteen minutes. I've seen Shadow Shadow many times. The total time we spent talking together is not that long. But…"Raphael said in a relaxed tone, "I'll do my best."
"Thank you,"Abel replied.
After the conversation between the two ended, the atmosphere in the room was a little cold.
"Soldier, you haven't eaten dinner yet, right?"Kant said gently. "I asked the breakfast reserved for you in the kitchen to be reheated. It will probably be delivered soon."
"Thank You, Your Majesty!"The soldier said in surprise. He thought that he had missed the meal and could only eat the dry food in his bags. He didn't expect Kant to be so meticulous!
"Tonight, you will probably have to stay up all night for the Magic Circle,"Kant said with a smile. "You must eat your fill and have enough energy."
"Wow!"The dining cart was pushed into the tent. More than ten people's dinner was placed on it, and it was steaming.
Beside the plate, there was also hot coffee prepared for the soldier.
"Your Majesty Kant, thank you."Abel faced Kant and expressed his gratitude.
"It's nothing. If you want to thank someone, thank the soldier in the kitchen."Although Kant knew that Abel meant something, he still did not directly thank him. He replied in a relaxed manner.
"We'll go back to the camp to rest first."Bunduk walked to the door of the tent, turned around and waved at Abel. "I'll get rid of the rest of you."
CHAPTER 799: A Casual Chat after dinner
"Yes."Abel bowed to Bunduk and watched the three of them leave.
"Captain Abel, come and have dinner as well."An Elven soldier put down the steak in his hand and called out to Abel.
"Okay."Abel nodded and agreed. He sat down beside the soldier. He took his portion of food. He said to the soldier who had already started eating, "After eating, everyone can rest for a while before starting to work."
"Yes! Captain!"After the soldier placed a cushion on his stomach, his mood became high again as he replied enthusiastically.
After eating the food on his plate, Abel walked to the stove in the camp and added a few sticks of firewood to the stove. Then he sat on a chair and looked at the soldier from afar.
"Captain, you haven't drunk your coffee yet."When Abel was about to fall asleep in a daze, a soldier came to him with two cups of coffee. He said, "Drink some of this. Your body will be warm."
"Thank you."Abel opened his tired eyes and smiled at the soldier.
"It's nothing,"the soldier said with a heroic smile.
The two of them sat quietly by the stove for a while and drank the coffee in their cups.
"Captain Abel,"the soldier called out softly.
"What's Wrong?"Abel was holding the porcelain cup in his hand to warm his hand. After hearing the soldier's call, he was stunned for a moment and replied gently.
The soldier turned his head and glanced at him. He smiled and said, "It's nothing. I thought you had fallen asleep again, Captain."
Hearing this, Abel also laughed out loud and replied, "I'm actually not that sleepy."
After he finished speaking, the two of them looked at each other again and began to chat.
"What do you think about Captain Raphael's matter?"In the harmonious atmosphere, the soldier finally spoke about Raphael.
Abel raised his eyebrows, he said, "Before Raphael came to the island, I thought that I would never want to see him again in my life. "However, a few days after I heard the news, I still saw him. "At the beginning, I still felt angry. "However, I felt his helplessness at that time from his body. "I began to imagine what kind of choice I would make if I met Raphael's predicament at that time."
"What are your thoughts?"The soldier cast his fleeting gaze at Abel and asked nervously.
"I can't give a definite answer,"Abel replied with his eyes closed. "Perhaps my thoughts are not broad enough, which caused my heart to hesitate."
"Is that so?"The soldier put down the porcelain cup in his hand and muttered silently.
"If it were you, what would you do?"Abel met the soldier's gaze, he smiled and asked, "The group of soldiers who are with Raphael also have your former comrades, right? In your eyes, would they be the ones who would do such a Thing?"
The soldier was momentarily at a loss for words in the face of Abel's question. He was unable to speak.
Abel did not intend to continue discussing this topic. When he saw that the soldier was unable to speak, he turned his face to the side and continued to drink the coffee in his hand.
The next afternoon.
Kant and the others received the news that the crew members were not allowed to leave the city.
Bunduk asked the soldier who came back to report the news, "How did you do it?"
"We took out some silver and gave it to the dwarf who guarded the city,"the soldier explained. "We asked them to find an excuse to detain the crew members. In the morning, the soldier who was guarding near the crew members'original living quarters saw the crew members return to the Inn."
"Well done."Kant nodded. "There aren't many trade caravan that go to the foot of the volcano. If these people want to follow the next batch of trade caravan out of the city, they'll have to wait for a while."
"Thank you for your hard work,"Bunduk said to the soldier. "Let the soldier in the city go and greet the dwarf who is guarding the city. Let them release the crew members. Don't make things too difficult for them."
"Yes!"The soldier bowed and replied.
At this moment, Abel was leading his soldiers to set up a formation on the ground where Raphael's tent was located.
Meanwhile, Raphael was sitting by the side and watching how they operated.
After the conversation between Abel and the soldier last night, the attitude of the elven soldier in the camp towards Raphael had softened a lot. Even though they only treated him as if he was nothing, they still put down their cold eyebrows.
"Alright."Abel clapped his hands and announced the success of the formation.
The soldier who had been busy all night exhaled in relief and collapsed on the ground.
"Everyone, quickly go and rest. We will gather at the camp in the evening,"Abel ordered the soldier under his command.
The Elven soldier still had a few hours to replenish his strength.
"Yes, Captain,"the soldier replied. Then, they returned to their respective tents. They needed a good night's sleep.
Abel sized up the Caradia soldier who was standing in for the Elven soldier. He walked up to Raphael and said, "This formation has been completed. The rest is up to you."
"Mm, you should also go and rest."Raphael nodded.
"Mm."Abel forced a smile on his tired face and nodded.
Then, he brushed past Raphael and walked back to his tent.
Because of the absence of more than a dozen Elven soldier, the military barrack suddenly became quiet.
Only the footsteps of the Caradia soldier patrolling could be heard.
Bunduk led his soldiers to practice on the open space outside the camp. While he was supervising everyone's training progress, he paid attention to the movements around him.
However, there were very few pedestrians in the camp chosen by the elves. The situation around the camp was as calm as usual.
"It seems that shadow something is planning to come alone,"Bunduk said to Kant, who was beside him.
"According to Raphael, shadow something will bring Raphael's reward from the dark forces,"Kant said.
"What is the reward?"Bunduk asked, puzzled.
"I don't know."Kant shook his head and said, "Maybe it's a treasure, or maybe it's the Machete in shadow something's hand."
"Raphael is in danger,"Bunduk shouted.
"Of course he knows, and now you know too,"Kant said casually.
"It can't be that Abel doesn't know yet, right?"Bunduk frowned and said, "However, according to Raphael's personality, it does seem like he won't tell Abel himself."
"Raphael and I both hope that the mission will be successful, that's why we won't say anything about it,"Kant instructed. "You can't tell anyone else about this either."
Bunduk's gaze became complicated. He sighed and said, "If Raphael really sacrificed himself for this mission, how should Abel and the others face it?"
Chapter 800: Ambush laid out in advance
"Everything will be over."Kant looked at the distant sky and said, "Besides, if Raphael can successfully delay shadownet, we will certainly rush in and rescue him immediately."
"Yes."Bunduk stood at the side and nodded.
When evening came, the Elven soldier woke up from their sleep. They put on their mage robes and stood in the open space of the camp.
"How is everyone's Rest?"Abel stood in front of everyone and asked.
"Very good!"The soldier replied in unison, his voice much louder than it was in the morning.
Abel smiled and nodded. "That's good. Today's mission will continue until 1:30 am. I hope that your mind power can continue until then!"
"Yes!"The soldier replied.
"Then disband. Go to your respective positions and replace your comrades from Caradia who have been on sentry duty for the entire day,"Abel ordered.
The Elven soldier spread out in small groups and trotted to every corner of the camp, waiting for night to arrive.
At one o'clock in the morning, shadow stalker snuck into Raphael's tent on time.
"Long time no see,"shadow something stood by the bed and said softly to Raphael, who was lying on the bed.
"You're here?"Raphael rubbed his drowsy eyes. He got up, walked to the square table, and sat down. He lit the candlestick on the table.
This was his signal to Caradia and the others.
Shadow something saw his action and frowned. "What are you doing?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot that you're afraid of light."Raphael smiled apologetically. Then, he turned around and blew out the candlestick.
After Kant and the others saw the moment of light, they immediately deployed troops to set up an ambush around the tent.
Abel brought his elven mages carefully to the front of the tent and began to operate the Magic Circle.
"Abel, you must hold on."Bunduk stared at the swaying figure in the tent and prayed in his heart.
"Didn't you say that you would bring some reward?"Raphael asked, pretending to be relaxed.
"Let's not talk about that first."Shadow Something's eyes darkened as he sat down beside Raphael, he asked, "I heard that the crew members who helped you are already preparing to escape to the small town at the foot of the volcano. When are you going to persuade Caradia's group to retreat from the island?"
"How could they listen to me?"Raphael shook his head, he said, "Right now, I can only guard against them not taking any information from me and forcefully hold them off. As long as you don't show up, they won't be able to find any clues, and will naturally withdraw from here."
A hint of anxiety appeared in Ying Yu's eyes, he said, "No, they must leave this small island as soon as possible. "The king and the others are already prepared to start a war with the Midget clan's troops. "If the human troops still remain here until then, it will be disadvantageous for us."
"Don't worry."After hearing the news of the war, Raphael was stunned for a moment, he said, "This time, none of the people sent by Caradia have the real power to mobilize the troops. They don't have the courage to participate in the fight between the forces on the island."
"No,"shadow shadow said, "You have to think of a way to chase them away. If it really doesn't work, I can mobilize a few of my men to help. Since you are the insider, we shouldn't need to go through much trouble."
Raphael could hear the murderous intent in the other party's words, and his stomach could not help but churn. His right hand subconsciously covered his stomach.
"What's wrong with you?"Shadow Stalker looked at Raphael and asked.
"I think I must have eaten something bad in my stomach. It's been hurting for a few days, but there's no problem."Raphael waved his hand, he said, "With my body, I don't think I can cooperate with you to do those things. "Besides, I'm locked up in this tent all day and can't receive any news at all. "I'll give it a try. I'll think of a way to get rid of this pile of trouble. "If there's anything you need, I'll look for your help."
"Alright then. If you need anything, find the messenger on the island and send a message to me."Shadow something agreed with Raphael's suggestion and said, "I'll take my leave first."
Raphael looked at his back as he turned to leave. He remembered that Abel was still casting spells outside the tent. He hurriedly urged him to stay. "Right, if we start a war, will the 'kings'be in danger?"
Ying Hong turned around in puzzlement, he asked, "Since when did you start to care so much?"? 'The Kings'were so powerful, and they were important figures with noble positions. Of course, nothing could threaten them. "When the time comes, if we start a war, only small figures like you and I will suffer."
"So that's how it is…"Raphael replied guiltily.
When Shadow Shadow saw his expression, he thought that Raphael was afraid that he would be affected by the war. He walked up to him and said with a faint smile, "But you shouldn't have been on this island at that time, right?"
"Why?"Raphael raised his head and looked at Shadow Shadow.
"It's nothing."A hint of coldness flashed in Shadow Shadow's eyes. He said, "I just thought that you should have escaped by boat by then."
"I see."Raphael lowered his head and replied, "But where can I escape to? The Elf Kingdom will not recognize my identity."
"That's your own business,"shadow something said coldly. "I still have other matters to attend to. I'll be leaving first."
"Alright."Raphael nodded. "Next time you come, remember to bring the 'reward'that you mentioned."
"What's yours will always be yours. Don't think too much about it."After leaving a sentence with an unclear meaning, shadow something climbed over the window and walked out of the tent. He ran into Kant and the others.
"Raphael!"Shadow something furrowed his brows tightly. He glared angrily at the camp and shouted.
"What's Wrong?"Raphael walked slowly from the main door to shadow something's front, he said with a smile that was not a smile, "I've never seen you before in a place where there are lights. But you look similar to what I remember. You're just as detestable."
"Heh heh,"shadow something sneered. "We'll meet again in the future. Just you wait."
Without waiting for Raphael's reply, shadow something transformed into his form and prepared to charge out of the crowd's encirclement.
However, he was repelled by the Magic Circle laid down by Abel.
"Ah!"Shadow something cried out in pain. He fell to the ground, stirring up dust.
"We will meet again in the future, but whenever I want to see you, whenever I don't want to see you. That will depend on my mood."Raphael walked up to shadow something, who was burned by magick, and spoke calmly.
"You Traitor!"Shadow something shouted. "Live as a traitor for the rest of Your Life!"
"I will."Raphael's gaze froze as he replied, "But before I end my sinful life, I hope you can save your dog life until then!"

Chapter 801: the potion to seal spiritual power
Ying Bao's eyes suddenly turned sharp. He said mockingly, "Short-sighted trash, other than this magic circle, what else can you trap me with?"
"You don't have to worry about that."Abel had appeared behind Ying Bao at some point in time. He put his hand on Ying Bao's shoulder and said in a calm tone.
A chill ran down Ying Bao's back. Before he could scream, he was knocked unconscious by Abel.
Looking at Ying Bao lying on the ground, Kant walked to Abel and said, "He's right. We don't have any way to restrain him. When he wakes up, he could slip away from us at any time."
"There is a spell that can seal the spiritual power of others in the elves, but none of us have learned this high-level spell,"Abel replied. "If we give this shadow to the medic in the team, they should be able to use a mind power spell to make the shadow feel like its spiritual power has been sealed."
"I see. That's Great!"Bunduk cheered from the side. During the battle in undead city, he had deeply experienced the power of the Mind Power Elf's spell.
"Mm."Kant nodded. "I've heard about the power of the mind power mage before. I didn't expect that there would be such talents in the army."
"They specialize in medicine,"Abel explained. "They don't appear in front of everyone."
"Then, we can only leave this matter to the few mage,"Kant replied. "Quickly send the shadow to the tent for medical use."
"Yes!"Abel replied. He waved his hand and summoned a few of his subordinates. He instructed them, "Please help carry the shadow to the tent for medical use. I'll rush over and explain it to Krovka myself."
"Roger that, Captain Abel,"the few soldier replied.
Then, the few soldier carried the sleeping shadow stalker to the stretcher that was brought over. They carried the stretcher and walked towards the tent at the back.
The other soldiers around them were also dismissed to their posts or returned to their tents to rest.
Kant, Abel, and Bunduk walked towards Raphael and asked with concern, "Raphael, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."Raphael shook his head and replied with a relaxed smile on his face.
"That's good."Bunduk heaved a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that the dark forces do not intend to let us off."
Kant and Bunduk, who were lying in ambush outside the tent, heard Raphael's conversation with shadow rat clearly.
"Since they have decided to do so,"Kant raised his eyes and said, "We have to be more proactive."
Abel turned to Kant in surprise and asked, "Your Majesty, are you prepared to participate in the war on this island?"
"I'm not sure yet,"Kant said faintly. "However, the meaning in shadow demon's words should be that the person behind him gave him an order. "Since the other party's attitude is so resolute, we don't have to worry too much about their position."
Bunduk frowned and said, "But we haven't contacted the surface forces on the island yet…"
"This is one of the things we need to do step by step,"Kant replied, "We don't need to go to the volcano in the center of the island to find the Midget clan. Dwarf town is a good starting point."
"But how can we get to know the representatives of those forces on the surface?"Bunduk asked in puzzlement.
"There is no special method."Kant shrugged his shoulders, he stated, "Right now, the people of both sides in the city are watching each other. The news of our attack on shadow demon will naturally spread within both sides. We just need to wait for them to come and look for us."
"King Kant is indeed a person with a long-term vision,"Abel said in admiration. "When I participated in this plan, I never thought that catching shadow pole would bring about such an effect."
"I am only taking one step at a time."Kant shook his head, he replied humbly, "The most important thing is to successfully capture Shadow Pole. Let's go. By now, Shadow Pole should be awake. Let's go ask him."
"Yes,"Bunduk and Bunduk replied.
"Raphael, thank you for your hard work."Kant patted Raphael on the shoulder and said to him, "This matter has come to an end. You should return to the camp to rest."
Raphael glanced at Abel who was beside him. He smiled and said to Kant, "It's nothing. I just moved my lips. Since all the leaders have things to do, I will take my leave."
"Yes."Kant nodded as a response.
Raphael bowed to Kant and the others and returned to his tent.
Kant led the two captain beside him to the tent where the medic was working.
"In the future, Raphael shouldn't need to be involved in operational matters, right?"Abel confirmed with Kant.
"We don't know yet,"Kant replied. "But the probability is that."
"Then, does he need to be sent back to the Elf Kingdom?"Bunduk asked.
"Let's bring him with us for the time being,"Kant said. "Raphael's emotions fluctuate quite a bit. If we send him back to the Elf Kingdom now, he might do some disturbing things."
"Yes,"Bunduk agreed.
The three of them walked into the tent where the medical soldiers were.
As the medical captain, Krovka immediately came forward and greeted the three of them. "King Kant! Captain Abel, Commander Bunduk. I Am Krovka, the medical captain of the ELF troops."
"Hello,"Kant and Bunduk greeted Krovka one after another.
"Krovka, is that shadow bug awake?"Abel asked anxiously.
"Not yet."Krovka shook his head. "I've never come into contact with shadow bugs before, so I could only inject him with a tranquilizer and seal the source of spirit energy in his body."
"Seal the source of spirit energy? How did you do that?"Abel asked in surprise.
"OH.". "Of course, I didn't use a spell. That kind of spell is too complicated. "We mortals can't understand it."Krovka explained, "I used a new type of potion that can simulate the effect of a high-level spell, so that the injected person can not use spirit energy for the time being."
"How long is the time for the time being?"Kant asked.
"Three hours."Krovka wiped his sweat, "It's just that this is the first time we used this kind of potion. From the looks of it, it has produced some side effects on the body of the shadow spider, causing it to not be able to wake up."
"This will be troublesome."Bunduk frowned and said.
"Continue to observe and see. It's always good to find a way to reduce the amount of magic power on the body of the Shadow Stalker."Kant nodded.
Chapter 802: the list of names forced to be handed over
The three of them sat down beside the bed of the Shadow Stalker.
Kant stretched out his hand and touched the arm of the shadow stalker. After feeling the bone-piercing chill, he immediately withdrew his hand.
"Why is his hand so cold?"Kant whispered.
"It seems that this physique has something to do with the Shadow Stalker's origin."Abel thought for a while and answered, "Every shadow stalker's body is extremely cold until they die."
"It's actually not strange to associate it with their strange spell,"Bunduk replied.
"How are the soldier who sent them here?"Kant asked worriedly.
"Soldier is a mage. He should be able to dispel this characteristic with a spell,"Bunduk looked at Abel and predicted.
"Well, the soldier isn't injured."Abel nodded. "However, the shadow's physique is indeed a bit troublesome."
"It's good that he's fine,"Kant said with a sigh of relief.
After a while, shadow something, who was lying on the bed, woke up, and the three of them stopped talking.
"Who are you?"Shadow Something's turbid eyes revealed a guarded look.
The room was brightly lit. Such an environment made him even more uneasy.
"I'm the Lord of Caradia, Kant. "This is the commander of Caradia's troops, Bunduk. "You should have seen him before. He is the captain of the reconnaissance team sent by the elves, Abel."Kant introduced calmly, "That's all. Where is your self-introduction?"
"Where am I Now?"Shadow Pole did not answer Kant's question. Instead, he tore off the quilt on his body and struggled to sit up.
"His Majesty is asking for your name!"Bunduk glared fiercely at Shadow Something and warned him in a stern voice.
Shadow something narrowed his eyes and looked at him. His eyes revealed a dangerous light.
Just when he was about to circulate the spiritual power in his body, he was shocked to feel that his body was empty. There was no trace of spiritual power.
"What have you done to me? !"Shadow Something's expression became distorted. He stared at the three people in front of him with a ferocious expression and roared, "You bunch of scoundrels!"
"I just want you to temporarily lose your luck,"Kant said indifferently. "As long as you answer our next question seriously, I will tell you the method to break the seal."
"You…"a hint of timidity appeared on Shadow Pole's face. He did not know that there was a high-level mage who was proficient in this kind of spell in the military barrack. Now, his gaze was locked on Abel's body. These three people only used his body's spiritual power to fluctuate. It seemed that he was the one who cast this kind of spell on himself.
"Are You Ready?"Abel and Shadow Rock looked at each other and asked.
"I don't know anything! I'm just a messenger,"shadow rock shouted.
"Just tell us everything you know,"Bunduk replied expressionlessly.
"First of all, What's Your Name Again?"Kant threw out the first question.
"Frey."Shadow King kneeled on the sickbed in compromise and answered softly.
"Frey, who is the person behind your back?"Abel asked.
"KLA. A snake-woman."Frey answered briefly.
Bunduk and Abel looked at each other. Both of their expressions became awkward.
"How do you usually contact him?"Kant asked. "In the dark forces, who else is in contact with you?"
"Send a message. We only meet once a month."Frey raised his head and looked at Kant, "Why do you need this information? The situation on the island is not something you can participate in. Even if you kill me, I will not tell you."
"You murdered our entire ship's soldier, leaving them dead and crippled. "We were planning to attack this camp at night,"Kant said hatefully. "Tell me, what reason do you think we have to not participate? "The people hiding behind the scenes didn't give us an explanation for the sinking of the ship, so we won't let it go."
Frey was stunned by Kant's imposing manner and couldn't speak for a moment.
"It's fine if you don't give us the whereabouts of the remaining people."Bunduk stared straight at Frey, he threatened, "Then we'll take you with us to meet the snake-woman you mentioned near the volcano. We'll go up layer by layer to see who can last longer."
"The thing that seals your spiritual power isn't a spell, but a new potion we've developed. The reason you've been unconscious for so long is probably because it was injected into your body."Abel stood where he was, he said nonchalantly, "If we need to inject this potion into your body every day, we don't know what the side effects will be."
Frey's eyes wavered. If he completely lost his magick power because of this mission, it was unimaginable what his life would be like.
"Okay."Frey nodded sadly. "I can give you the list of people I have. However, I have two requirements. First, find a ship immediately and send me out of the island. Second, promise to give me the antidote."
"Okay."Kant agreed happily. A triumphant smile appeared on his face.
That night, after receiving the list of people Frey wrote, the three people gave Frey a tube of the fake antidote and let him board the first ship in the morning and leave the island.
"Frey's information is really detailed."Bunduk sized up the list and commented.
"He even wrote down his address. It's far beyond our expectations."Abel shrugged and said.
Kant picked up the list given by Frey and compared it with the list given by the Dragon clan a few days ago. He replied, "Don't expect him to give us any clues about important people. It's just to get rid of us and give up his comrades."
"Yes, it's true."Abel curled his lips and said.
"Strange, the list of names of the Dragon clan seems to be true…"Kant said in puzzlement after browsing through the two lists.
"Really?"Bunduk took the list and also read it. After a while, he raised his head and said, "It seems that some of the names are duplicates."
"The Dragon clan is indeed more informed than us."Abel glanced at the side and commented.
"How are these people now?"Kant asked Bunduk.
Bunduk was at a loss because of this sudden question. He scratched the back of his head and replied awkwardly, "I haven't heard anything about them."
"Most likely, they have been controlled by the open forces in the town,"Abel speculated.
"Frey's list only mentions the network of the dark forces in the town. The central ranks of the dark forces are still concentrated near the fire,"Bunduk said.
Chapter 803: The Elf who disappeared in the middle of the night
"You're right."Kant thought for a moment and nodded. "The dragon race is too cunning."
"When the forces in the town find us, do we need to hand over this list?"Abel asked Kant.
"Yes, this list doesn't mean much to us. It can be used as a door-knocking brick to remind the forces in the town to cooperate with us,"Kant ordered.
"Yes."Abel nodded.
"The mission this time has been successfully completed. Everyone has worked hard. Go back and rest,"Kant looked around the entire tent and ordered the soldiers.
"Yes, Your Majesty."After receiving the order, the soldier immediately left the tent and rushed back to rest.
"Your Majesty, you have worked hard too."Abel bowed and said, "Let me and Commander Bunduk be responsible for escorting you back to the camp."
"Okay,"Kant agreed and walked out of the camp.
On the way back to the camp, Kant asked Bunduk about the training of the CARADIA soldier in recent days.
"The daily training of the soldier is basically the same as when they were in the military barrack. Your Majesty, don't worry."Bunduk sent Kant to the door of the camp and answered politely.
"Yes. During daily training, you must not slack off,"Kant instructed.
After leaving these words, Kant instructed Bunduk and Abel to go back and rest. He walked into the tent himself.
"Let's go."After seeing Kant back to the camp, Bunduk stood up and greeted Abel who was still half-kneeling on the ground.
The two of them walked back together.
"It's been hard on you today."Bunduk put his arm around Abel's shoulder and said to him, "We were almost unable to help."
"The Magic Circle is only the first line of defense. I didn't expect this shadow something to be terrified before he could reach you,"Abel smiled and declined.
"I didn't expect this shadow something to be so timid. When I heard that he was going to attack Raphael, I was also extremely nervous,"Bunduk said.
"Is he going to attack Raphael?"Abel turned to ask Bunduk.
At that time, Abel was fully focused on preparing the magic circle. He did not have the extra energy to pay attention to the conversation in the camp.
"Ah, no…"Bunduk knew that he had let the cat out of the bag. He smiled awkwardly and denied it. "It was just the atmosphere when the two of them were talking
"They were too nervous. It seemed like the battle was about to break out at any moment."
Judging from the words left behind by shadow something before he left, he was indeed prepared to make a move against Raphael the next time. The style of the dark forces was really too ruthless.
"I see."Abel lowered his head and said in deep thought, "If a fight really broke out, Raphael would have no chance of winning. Fortunately, he did not say anything dangerous in a moment of impulse."
"This time, Raphael did quite well. "Don't worry about these details,"Bunduk replied. "The people from shadow stream are still too dangerous for him. "Now that the dark forces can no longer do anything to him beyond us, he can be considered safe."
"Yes."Abel nodded. "I hope he can have a good dream tonight."
At that moment, the two of them happened to pass by Raphael's tent. Seeing that the candlesticks inside were still lit, bunduk said in puzzlement, "It has already been two hours since the incident. Raphael can't still be awake, right?"
Abel shook his head and said calmly, "He seemed to have a habit of sleeping with the lights on in the past."
"This habit is not good for the body. Although the tent is ventilated, the smoke from the candlesticks is not suitable for people who sleep,"Bunduk said worriedly.
"I think so too. I've told him countless times, but he still can't change it. I can only ask the patrolling soldier to go in and blow out the candlesticks when they pass by his tent,"Abel said helplessly.
"The soldier should be too busy tonight."Bunduk looked around and said, "Let us go in this time."
"Okay."Abel nodded. Then, he gently opened the door curtain with Bunduk and walked in.
The moment he entered the tent, Abel felt a little strange. Several candlesticks in the room were lit.
With this thought in mind, Abel no longer paid attention to the candlesticks. He walked straight to Raphael's bed.
He found a letter beside Raphael's pillow.
"Hey, where are you going?"Bunduk caught up with Abel's footsteps and chased after him. He asked in a low voice, "What is this? What does 'sorry'mean?"
"Not good."A trace of fear crawled through Abel's heart. He trembled as he said, "Quick… find out where Raphael went."
Bunduk also sensed that something was wrong. He hurriedly ran out of the tent and informed the patrolling soldier to help find Raphael's tracks.
Because of this alarm, the entire military barrack became brightly lit again.
The sound of footsteps coming and going woke up the sleeping soldier. Everyone cursed as they put on their coats and walked out of the camp to take a look. After hearing the news of Raphael's disappearance from the other soldier's mouth, their expressions became grim.
"Commander Bunduk!"A soldier ran in front of Bunduk and Abel and reported urgently.
"Is there any news?"Bunduk asked nervously.
"The soldier who woke up at night said that he saw captain Raphael walking towards the shore in a single piece of clothing."The soldier took a deep breath and said.
"When? Why didn't he stop Raphael!"Abel asked.
"About an hour ago, he wasn't sure that it was captain Raphael. After hearing the news of his disappearance, he rushed over to report this news to us,"the soldier explained in detail.
"Quickly send someone to the beach to take a look,"Bunduk ordered.
Abel took the lead and rushed out of the camp, running towards the shore. Bunduk watched his back and followed closely behind. However, in front of the spell-casting Bunduk, he was left far behind.
"Abel! Wait!"Bunduk shouted.
Abel did not respond.
When they reached the shore, Abel was looking for Raphael on the shore that the soldier mentioned. He was surprised to find a group of dwarves in uniform. They were carrying a white stretcher.
"Wait, who are you?"Abel called out to them and asked.
"An employee of the harbor,"the dwarf who was in charge of commanding answered indifferently. "What do you want?"
"I'm Looking for an elf. His name is Raphael. Have you… Seen Him?"After seeing the human figure covered in white cloth on the stretcher, Abel's eyes began to turn red, but he still insisted on finishing his sentence.
"Elf?"The few dwarves carrying the stretcher looked at each other and whispered.
The dwarf commanded his subordinates to put down the stretcher. He looked up at Abel and said, "The elf you're looking for might be him."
Chapter 804: unexpected death
When Bunduk arrived, he saw Abel kneeling beside Raphael's corpse and crying.
Bunduk stood silently at the side, staring at the pitch-black sea. A cold wind seemed to blow in his heart.
"This elf rushed onto a ship and said that he was looking for a shadow stallion. "Because that shadow stallion was also sent by someone from your tribe of elves, we thought that there was something to discuss. So we brought him in front of the shadow rat. Unexpectedly, the two of them started fighting before they could even speak. In the end, the two of them fell from the side of the ship. "Our men didn't arrive in time. By the time we found a way to pick up the elf from the bottom of the sea, he had already stopped breathing."Abel's emotions were too out of control, the dwarf crew could only explain to the relatively calm Bunduk.
"Then, what about the Shadow Demon?"After hearing the whole story, tears couldn't help but trickle down from the corners of Bunduk's eyes. He asked the crew with a choked voice.
"So far, we've only found this body. "The salvage work is still ongoing,"the dwarf said apologetically. "This matter is partly our fault. "As for the exact compensation, we'll contact you tomorrow."
After leaving these words, the dwarf commander led the rest of the dwarf crew back to the harbor.
"It's impossible that he doesn't know that he can't defeat Shadow Stalker,"Abel said with a trembling voice.
Thinking of the suicide note Raphael left by his pillow, it was obvious that he wanted to die.
"We pushed him too hard."Bunduk sat down beside the stretcher. He looked at Abel's face, which had turned blue from suffocation, and said softly.
"It's all my fault. I should have spent more time with him like what Lord Kant said,"Abel cried out in pain. "I knew that he was a person who easily let his imagination run wild."
Bunduk recalled every smile that Raphael had given him when he was alive. Tears poured down his face.
All these years of fighting on the battlefield did not make him disregard the existence of life. On the contrary, he respected every life.
When he thought of the warmth and affirmation that this pale face had once brought to others, Bunduk felt as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat. He could not speak.
"Let's go. We'll bring him back,"Bunduk said with difficulty as he looked at Raphael, who was lying on the ground.
Abel looked back at him and agreed, "Alright."
The two of them carried the stretcher and slowly walked towards the camp.
When the soldier who was still searching the coast saw this scene, they all leaned over. When they saw Raphael's cold corpse, the atmosphere instantly became quiet. They could only silently follow behind Bunduk and Raphael. Sobbing sounds came from the crowd.
Kant was standing at the entrance of the camp at this moment, waiting for the news from the coast. He was holding Raphael's will tightly in his hand. At that moment, he did not have the broad aura that he usually had. His figure, which was walking back and forth, appeared a little thin in the winter wind.
When the silent figures of Bunduk's group appeared in his line of sight, Kant's figure paused, and then his shoulders collapsed.
"King Kant."Bunduk and Abel put down the stretcher, squatted down in front of Kant, and bowed.
"What happened?"Kant's tone was ice-cold. What no one saw was that his hands were trembling.
"Raphael went to find Yingyu. During the struggle, the two of them lost their footing and fell into the deep sea."Bunduk's lips tightened as he explained.
"Lost their footing?"Kant squatted down and covered his face with his hands. A muffled voice came out. "I think Raphael did it on purpose."
Abel also covered his eyes with his hand to prevent tears from flowing out.
"This winter has been so long…"Bunduk looked at the soldier's mournful expression behind him. He recalled the scene when he heard the death of the Caradia soldier in the military barrack. A chill spread through his entire body.
That night, Kant and the others held a funeral for Raphael. Raphael's urn was brought by Abel. Because he said that he wanted to bring him home with him.
Because of this sudden incident, the atmosphere among the elven soldier became gloomy.
The soldier who besieged Raphael in the dining hall a few days ago also appeared to be in low spirits.
During this period of time, the CARADIA soldier took up most of the tasks in the military barrack. He wanted to relieve some of the pressure on the depressed elven soldier.
"The Messenger sent me a message saying that the Dragon tribe wants to meet us."Kant sat at the desk and said to Bunduk and Abel who were sitting across from him.
"Then do we need to go to the volcano?"Abel asked.
"Yes, but this time, the dragon clan will send someone to pick us up. It will save us the trouble along the way,"Kant explained calmly. "I have already written a reply to them and promised to meet them this time."
"As expected, the Dragon Clan is the first to make a move,"Bunduk commented. "How far has their network expanded to allow them to always have the initiative?"
"The Dragon clan probably invited us over this time in order to find out about the recent series of accidents. I don't expect to get any information from them,"Kant said indifferently.
Obviously, he didn't have much expectation for this meeting.
"Are there still no movements from the forces in dwarf town?"Abel asked.
"For the time being, no one has taken the initiative to look for us,"Bunduk replied. "It is said that the corpse of shadow rat is in the mortuary of the harbor
"No one has claimed it for several days. "It seems that he is only playing the lowest role in the dark forces."
"We don't have many clues at the moment…"Abel sighed.
"Let's take it one step at a time,"Kant said. "This time, our troops are staying at the foot of the volcano. We can go and see who is the snake-woman who is in charge of contacting the Shadow Dragon. By then, we might have new clues."
"Indeed.". "We have been staying at the edge of this island. We are not very well-informed about all kinds of information."Bunduk nodded. "This time, we can go to the volcano and stay in a different environment. We can inquire about the situation on this island."
"The people sent by the Dragon tribe will probably come to pick us up in three days. At that time, this camp will have to be abandoned."Kant thought for a while, he told the two of them, "Recently, the atmosphere in the team hasn't been very good. You two captains need to pay more attention. Help the soldier walk out of the negative impact of the incident."
"Most of them feel guilty towards Raphael. For the time being, I guess they won't be able to resolve this knot in their hearts,"Bunduk said with a dull look in his eyes.
"What's there to feel guilty about?"Abel sighed softly. "Raphael only went to the world with 'gods'just as he thought."

Chapter 805: An Invitation from the Dragon Clan
Three days later, a few members of the Dragon clan came to the shore.
Kant led a group of people to the entrance of the camp to welcome them. After all, the Dragon clan held an important position on this small island.
Even if they did not really appreciate the dragon clan's style of doing things, they should still follow the proper etiquette.
"Hello, King Kant."A dragon clansman in human form bowed slightly in front of Kant and said, "I am the Dragon Clan's special envoy who has come to welcome all of you."
"Hello, Hello."Kant smiled and nodded to him. "Thank you for your hard work."
"No problem. Have you finished preparing?"The leader of the dragon clan asked, "If you have finished packing, we will set off immediately."
"I'm sorry,"Kant said awkwardly. "The problem of our camp hasn't been solved yet. We may have to wait for another day or so."
"The only ones who need to go to the volcano with us this time should be King Kant, Commander Abel, and… Captain Abel."The Dragon Leader recalled the names in his mind, he stated to Kant, "Are the rest of the soldier going with us?"
"HMM?"Kant looked at Bunduk and Abel in surprise and replied, "There seems to be a misunderstanding. What I wrote in the letter before was that all of us will go to the volcano together…"
After the Dragon tribe members heard Kant's words, they fell into silence.
After a while.., the Dragon tribe leader, who was standing at the front of the group, explained, "It seems that there was a mistake in the command and communication. "But the manpower we brought this time is indeed not enough to bring all the soldiers to the base of the Dragon tribe. "Time is tight. Can you please lead the way for me, Commander. "After we settle down in the volcano, we can discuss how to summon the soldier. How about it?"
Kant thought for a moment and asked, "May I ask who is the person who wants to meet us this time, the Dragon Tribe?"
"Young Master Milad. The next-generation heir of our Dragon Clan."The leader of the Dragon Clan answered Kant's question straightforwardly with a hint of pride in his tone.
"I see."Kant nodded and said, "As the heir, I think the journey must be very tight. It is an honor to be able to find time to meet us in such a busy time."
"It is also our honor to be able to invite the lord of a country in Caradia."The leader of the Dragon Clan seemed to be gentle and refined. At this time, he was able to remain expressionless in the face of Kant's praise.
"In that case, we will have to trouble you to lead the way."Kant had a warm smile on his face.
"Thank You, Your Majesty, for agreeing to my suggestion."The leader of the dragon clan said politely, "We can set off immediately."
After saying this, the leader of the Dragon clan and his subordinates'figures soared and immediately returned to the appearance of a pterosaur.
Kant had already expected this. When the Dragon's spell was still in its infancy, he took the initiative to command the soldier to retreat to both sides of the road with him.
Bunduk looked worriedly at the figures of the Dragon Clan's people who looked like a tall building and said, "This is too big."
Abel took the three men's bags from the soldier's hands, he said to bunduk, "Let's hurry up. The Dragon Tribe's figure is too eye-catching. It Won't be long before the nomads from the harbor will rush over here."
"Okay."Kant nodded. "Let's set off now."
A few winged dragons stopped in front of the three men. The Dragon tribe leader's figure was slightly stronger than the others. Kant's body was entangled by its tail. He was lifted into the air and finally landed safely on the back of the winged dragon.
Bunduk and Abel were also hunched on the back of the two dragon race envoys.
"Hold on tight,"the three of them heard the dragon race leader's voice transmission.
Then, the winged dragons flapped their wings and flew up into the sky.
The temperature in the surroundings suddenly dropped by several degrees. Kant carefully lowered his body and lay on the back of the winged dragon.
The speed of the dragon race was too fast. Abel looked at the small island under the clouds. The lush green forest quickly passed by his eyes. It seemed that the vegetation would change every once in a while.
"Then, I say, when will we arrive?"Bunduk was really not used to such an environment. He endured the discomfort in his chest and asked the pterosaur who was responsible for escorting him.
"About a day. We'll arrive tomorrow morning,"the pterosaur replied.
"Why is it so far…"Bunduk complained in his heart.
Abel was not surprised at all. When they set off from the seaside, it had already been nearly a month when they arrived at the Dragon Clan's territory border. No matter how fast the Dragon Clan advanced, it was already the limit for them to shorten the time to about a day.
"Bunduk, are you not feeling well?"Abel looked at Bunduk's pale face and asked worriedly.
"I'm fine."Bunduk shook his head and replied through gritted teeth.
Abel observed him for a while and discovered that he was forcefully holding on. He circulated the spiritual power in his body and set up a spell barrier around Bunduk. This greatly alleviated the discomfort in his breathing.
Bunduk felt that his breathing had become smoother. He stood up in surprise and looked around. Finally, his gaze stopped on Abel. He smiled and thanked him. "Thank you."
"No problem."Abel winked at him and replied.
After a day and night's journey, Bunduk and Abel lay on the back of the pterosaur and watched the sunset and sunrise above the clouds.
When the next morning, the Golden Light of the Sun covered the entire cloud, Abel couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful."
"Although it's still very cold, it's worth it to see such a scene."Bunduk's eyes were full of hope.
"We're almost there,"Kant said to the two people who were still observing the scenery. "Be careful when the pterosaur swoops down later."
"Yes!"Abel and Bunduk replied in unison.
The landing process was not as dangerous as everyone had imagined. After all, the dragon team had considered the safety of the three people and chose to hover down.
However, Bunduk was still shaken badly. He silently decided in his heart that he would never agree to fly with the Dragon tribe again.
When their feet stepped on the solid land, the three of them heaved a sigh of relief.
Abel looked around and realized that he did not recognize the scenery here. There were also a few strange buildings standing in front of him. From the looks of it, this group of pterosaurs had brought them to the central area of the Dragon Tribe's estate.
"Everyone, please follow me."Unknowingly, the pterosaurs had transformed back into human form. They stood neatly at the side. Meanwhile, the Dragon Clan's leader changed into a formal suit and stood in front of Kant and the others, greeting them.
Chapter 806: Conversation in the palace
Kant nodded and walked towards the castle-like building pointed out by the Dragon Clan's leader. Bunduk and Abel followed closely behind.
"This is young master Millard's Royal Palace."The Dragon Clan's leader made an introduction. "After entering through the main door, you will enter the meeting hall. Please wait there for a while. Young Master Milad will come to meet you as soon as he receives the news."
"Okay,"Kant agreed.
After the Dragon Clan Leader left, the three of them took their seats on the chairs in the meeting hall. They quietly waited for Milad's arrival.
The ceiling of the room was very high, and it seemed that they could not see the bottom. The furnishings were also very simple. It seemed to be a little empty, which was different from the magnificence and strictness on the surface.
After a while, a gust of wind blew at the door of the palace, and Milad walked into the meeting hall.
Kant and the other two immediately stood up from their seats to welcome him.
The title of heir to the royal family was not undeserved. When Abel first saw him, he noticed the imposing manner of this noble dragon who was able to conquer the world. Although he still appeared a little immature in front of Kant, it was already rare for him to be at his age.
Abel had met this young master Milad's younger brother, Isaac, at the lecture in dwarf town. In comparison, Isaac's aura was much weaker.
"Hello, Lord Kant from Caradia."Milad's scales were white and had a soft luster. At this time, he had automatically ignored the two people behind Kant, Bunduk. He walked straight towards Kant and extended his hand towards Kant with the calm and confidence of a noble.
"Hello, Young Master Milad,"Kant replied with a smile.
"Thank you for coming. Please take a seat."Milad glanced at Bunduk and Abel and greeted everyone with a smile.
"It's no trouble. We are preparing to head towards the volcano. I wonder why we were able to receive the invitation from the Dragon Clan?"Kant immediately asked after sitting down.
"Actually, it's nothing much. "I just heard that the soldier sent by Caradia to the island met with a shipwreck. "Moreover, it seems that the truth behind this is related to the forces on the island that have been hiding in the dark for the past few months to cause trouble."Milad looked at Kant and explained, "The conflict on the island has involved the countries outside the island and caused casualties. "It really makes the Dragon Clan, as the Guardian, feel ashamed and want to apologize to you, Lord."
After hearing this, Bunduk and Abel, who were standing behind Kant, looked at each other in surprise. The expression in their eyes was indescribable.
Kant raised his eyebrows. Milad's reason was indeed a little surprising, but after thinking about it, it was reasonable.
From what he said, it could be seen that Kant's previous prediction was right. The Dragon Clan had always maintained the role of the middle man in this battle. Moreover, the forces on the island had great ambitions for the outside world.
"I see."Kant exhaled, he replied, "We accept the Dragon Clan's care. "A few days ago, we happened to receive a letter with a list of the members of the dark forces. "This time, we also brought it over. We hope that it can help a little in pacifying the battle situation."
Kant took out the name list that Shadow Bird had given him before he died and handed it to Milad. He observed his expression.
Milad's expression did not seem to change, but there was still a hint of nervousness in his eyes as he stared at the envelope.
"It is indeed very important to have such a name list. Thank you,"Milad said to Kant in a relaxed tone after he browsed through the names on the name list. His face also blushed.
"You're welcome."Kant shook his head and replied.
"I heard from the Lord just now that you're going to the volcano. What are your plans?"Milad put away the letter and raised his head to ask Kant.
"Probably to meet some old friends,"Kant answered simply. "After all, we're not familiar with the environment on this island."
"I see."Milad nodded in agreement. "If there is anything the Dragon Clan can help us with next, please don't hesitate to ask. We will do our best."
"Thank you, Young Master Milad,"Kant agreed.
"You must be tired after such a long journey."Milad looked at Bunduk and Abel for the second time, he suggested, "Let's stay here tonight. The kitchen will serve delicious dinner. I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave."
"Okay, see you next time."Kant stood up to send them off.
"Okay."Milad nodded with a smile and agreed. Without waiting for Kant and the others to follow him, he walked out of the palace alone. He deactivated the illusion and a white dragon appeared in the open space outside the palace. After stirring up a gust of strong wind, it flew toward the south.
The dragon leader who had disappeared earlier appeared in front of Kant and the others again. He had changed into a suit.
"Everyone, let me take you to your living quarters,"the Dragon Leader said to Kant and the others as he stood at the entrance of the meeting hall.
"Okay, thank you,"Abel agreed.
The group followed the dragon leader to another nearby building.
"The waiter in the kitchen will personally bring the dinner to your room."The dragon leader led the three into the long corridor of the castle.
Bunduk looked at the lawn outside the window and replied, "Is there no restaurant here?"
"Because no one has come here for a long time, the restaurant has been closed,"the dragon leader explained. "I guess no one has cleaned it for a long time."
"May I ask where we are now?"Abel asked.
"The northern border of the dragon's estate,"the dragon leader explained in detail. "This was originally a village, but it was later commandeered as the training ground for young master Milad's personal guards. "After the troops left, this place was completely idle."
"Then where did the soldier go now?"Kant asked.
The eyes of the Dragon clan leader dimmed and said softly, "They have probably gone out of the island."
"Out of the island?"Bunduk asked curiously.
"Young Milad is the successor who has been re-established in the past two years. The soldier who had been with him for the past few years has been ordered by the 'king'to go out of the island to carry out missions. "One of them has been unable to return to the island because of the details of the mission,"the Dragon Clan leader replied as he recalled.
"I see."After receiving Kant's glance, Bunduk immediately withdrew his curiosity and didn't ask further.
At this time, the dragon leader brought the three people to the door of the room arranged for them. He handed over the key and said, "The room has been cleaned. The lighting is also very good. I hope you can have a good night's rest here."
"Thank you. But…"Bunduk took the key and replied, "About the camp…"
Chapter 807: A leisurely afternoon for everyone
"We have hired a ship to go to the harbor to pick up the Caradia soldier and the ELF soldiers who stayed in the camp. "They should stay on the ship for about a week and then arrive at the dwarf town at the foot of the volcano,"the Dragon Leader reported to the three people.
"Thank you,"Bunduk said sincerely.
Kant stood to the side and nodded. If the Dragon Clan came forward, the treatment of the soldier could be said to be guaranteed.
"Well, I'll take my leave first,"the dragon leader bowed and said goodbye to the others.
After Kant and the others watched him leave, they opened the door with the key. The space inside could be said to be extremely wide and exquisitely decorated. There were three bedrooms, an 80-square-meter living room, a clean and bright bathroom, and a kitchen and windowsill.
Kant randomly chose a bedroom and walked in to put down his bags. When he walked out of the bedroom door, he saw Bunduk and Abel collapsed in the living room. He asked in amusement, "Are you guys that tired?"
"Riding on the dragon's back really tired me out,"Bunduk explained as he took out a few cherries from the fruit basket on the desk and put them in his mouth. "They taste good."
"I'm also quite tired,"Abel said weakly.
In order to not make Bunduk's physical condition look too bad, he had continuously cast spells for a day and a night. Only now did he finally recover his breath.
"Your Majesty, you have also stayed in the sky for a whole day at a height of a few thousand meters. Why do you seem to be fine?"Bunduk sized up Kant's expression and asked curiously.
"I don't know. When I just ascended, my body was still not used to it. "It's just that the leader quickly slowed down. After that, I didn't feel anything."Kant also found a chair that seemed to be more comfortable and sat down, he described it to Bunduk.
"It seems that the leader of the Dragon Clan has observed that we are not very comfortable."Bunduk maintained his lying posture, he replied, "Indeed, he is the type that can take care of others. Compared to him, that young master Milad is really arrogant."
"He has been pampered since he was young and has been receiving training and training as the heir of the royal family. Naturally, he has a different way of looking at people."The sun shone over the windowsill and shone on Kant's face. It seemed that he enjoyed this kind of rest very much.
"But I feel that His Majesty Kant is not as arrogant as him."Bunduk curled his lips and commented, "It feels like his eyes are always looking down on others."
"Don't mind these."Abel stuck his head out and interrupted, "Anyway, this young master Milad should not have any interactions with us in the future."
"Is that so?"Bunduk looked at Kant in surprise and said.
Kant shrugged indifferently and said, "As you said, this heir young master doesn't even look at us. Of course, there won't be any cooperation in the future."
"I thought he valued us. After all, he got that list from us."Bunduk sighed and said.
"Judging from his reaction at that time, he should know about the people on the list,"Kant recalled. "In short, the information we brought was not very valuable. "However, he did not show it. "This made me feel that he would be a suitable successor."
"I see,"Bunduk said with his eyes wide open. At that time, he didn't notice this part of the details.
"Ha…"Kant yawned and told Bunduk and Abel, "I'll go back to my bedroom to catch up on my sleep. Wake me up during lunch time."
"Yes."Bunduk sat up straight and answered.
"Aren't you going to sleep for a while?"After hearing the door close, Abel raised his head and suggested to Bunduk.
"Just lie here for a while."Bunduk shook his head and said, "What About You?"
"I'm not as tired as you are…"Abel buried his head on the cushion of the bench again and answered sullenly.
"When I've rested enough, Let's go out for a walk together."Bunduk turned his head to look at Abel and suggested, "It's quite stuffy inside."
"Okay."Abel raised his hand and made a 'yes'gesture.
After giving Abel a high five with a smile, Abel lay down on the carpet in the living room and took a nap.
When he woke up, the sky outside the window had already darkened.
Bunduk sat up in a panic and looked at the spot where Abel was previously. However, he was the only one left in the entire living room.
"Abel!"Bunduk shouted.
"Click…"the sound of a key being inserted into the lock came from the entrance. Bunduk's nerves immediately tensed up. He slowly walked towards the door of the guest room.
The door was opened. Abel, who was drenched by the rain, walked into the room.
"Abel?"Bunduk's face was filled with confusion.
"You're Awake?"Abel looked up as he changed out of his boots.
"When did you go out? Is it raining outside?"Bunduk squatted beside Abel and asked with concern.
"Can you give me a towel?"Abel asked. "You're right. It's too boring to stay in the room. I went out for a walk."
After hearing his words, Bunduk immediately went to the bathroom and brought Abel a dry towel.
"Thank you."Abel took the towel, he thanked him. "Although it rained, it wasn't for nothing. I found out that the dragon clansmen here like to move in human form, and they invented many interesting physical games."
"That sounds interesting,"Bunduk said regretfully. "I spent the whole afternoon sleeping in this living room."
"You slept too hard. I didn't know how to wake you up."Abel smiled apologetically. "How are you feeling now?"
"I feel good. If I have food, I think my mood will be better,"Bunduk joked.
"Now that you mention it, I'm a little hungry."Abel tilted his head and said, "Let's hurry up and Wake His Majesty up. I just went to the kitchen and found that the dishes are all served."
"Okay."Bunduk glanced at the door and said, "Then you stay here and watch. I'll Go Wake His Majesty Kant up."
"Okay."Abel nodded.
Bunduk walked to the door of Kant's room. He raised his hand and gently knocked on the door. He called out, "King Kant."
"What's Wrong?"Kant's voice sounded like he had just woken up.
"The food in the kitchen is almost ready. Your Majesty, you should get up and wash up first,"Bunduk said softly.
"Okay,"Kant agreed. He got off the bed with sleepy eyes. After putting on his coat, he opened the door and walked to the bathroom.
Chapter 808: Kant who suddenly fell ill
In a short while, the dishes for dinner were presented by the Dragon Waiter.
Kant sat in front of the dining table. He didn't seem to have any appetite. During the meal, Bunduk noticed Kant's physical status. He put down the cutlery in his hand and asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, are you not feeling well?"
"My Head feels a little dizzy."Kant stopped eating and answered with his hand on his forehead.
"Don't tell me you have fallen ill?"Abel also became nervous.
"I think you have caught a cold. The humidity on this island is too heavy."Kant felt that his body had become soft, and he couldn't exert any strength at all.
"I'll go and ask the doctors in the castle."Abel immediately put down the fork in his hand and stood up to say to Kant.
Kant waved his hand and said, "This is a minor illness. You'll be fine after enduring through the night."
"That won't do,"Bunduk said firmly. "In this unfamiliar place, you can't ignore any minor illness. What if you catch some strange illness?"
"Then… Alright."Kant was convinced by Bunduk and nodded in agreement.
They would set off for the volcano the next day, and none of the three knew any medical skills. It was better to solve the illness as soon as possible.
Seeing that Kant had agreed, Abel immediately walked out of the room and invited a dragon doctor.
Bunduk reached out and covered Kant's forehead, wanting to test his temperature. After coming into contact with the cold, he frowned and said, "Your Majesty, we will set off after you recover."
"It's alright."After Kant muttered these words, he fainted.
Bunduk helped him to lie down on the bed in the bedroom and brought over a basin of hot water. After wringing out the towel that had passed through the hot water, he used the towel to wipe off the cold sweat on Kant's forehead.
After looking at the door of the living room countless times, he finally looked forward to seeing Abel and the Dragon Doctor.
"Doctor, come and take a look!"Bunduk waved and called out to the Dragon Doctor.
"When did you faint?"The Dragon Doctor looked a little nervous. After sitting down by Kant's bed, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to check on Kant's condition. "When did you faint?"He asked Bunduk.
"Five minutes ago,"Bunduk thought for a moment and replied.
"Yes,"the dragon doctor nodded and agreed. Then, he gathered a golden spiritual energy in his palm and channeled it into Kant's temple.
"How is it?"Abel asked anxiously.
"It's nothing."The Dragon Doctor looked relieved and explained, "It's just a common low-grade fever. It's probably caused by the soil and water."
"I see. King Kant also said before that if the humidity in the air is too heavy…"Abel recalled.
"This illness can be cured very quickly. However, after the illness is cured, you must also pay attention to the changes in the surrounding environment. Otherwise, it will easily cause discomfort to the body,"the dragon doctor instructed while injecting spiritual power into Kant.
"Thank you."Bunduk saw that Kant's pale face finally had a trace of blood, and bowed to the doctor to thank him.
"Fortunately, it was just a false alarm."The Dragon Doctor took out a few tubes of medicine from the medical box and handed them to Bunduk. He wiped his sweat and said, "If King Kant falls ill in this castle, we will also be unlucky."
"Thank you for your hard work,"Abel said to the Dragon Doctor.
"His Majesty Kant will wake up after resting for a while. "When he wakes up, he will probably be a little hungry. After all, I used spiritual power to activate his body's physical strength. "I will ask the kitchen to prepare some light snacks. "I will take my leave first."The doctor bowed to Bunduk and Abel.
"Alright, please take care."Bunduk walked the dragon doctor to the door and said as he waved his hand.
Seeing the doctor's back disappear at the end of the corridor, Bunduk closed the door and walked back to Kant's bedroom.
"How is His Majesty?"Bunduk asked.
"He seems to be much better,"Abel replied. "Right now, his body is probably adjusting and entering hibernation."
"Let's stay here and guard him."Bunduk sat down on a chair in the corner and said, "According to the Doctor, His Majesty Kant shouldn't be able to sleep for long."
"Alright,"Abel agreed. As he spoke, he extinguished the candlestick by the bedside.
The two of them kept quiet while they waited, in order to let Kant have a better rest.
At three o'clock in the morning, Abel was already asleep on the carpet by the bed. Only Bunduk was still awake.
"You?"While Bunduk was still in a daze, he heard Kant's familiar voice.
"Lord, you're Awake?"Bunduk walked to the bedside in surprise and asked.
"Yes."Kant nodded and glanced at the bedside. "Why is Abel Sleeping Here?"
"He hasn't rested for two days. When you woke up, he fell asleep,"Bunduk explained. "Your Majesty, How Do You Feel Now?"
"I feel much better. I don't feel as bad as before."Kant propped up his upper body and leaned against the headboard of the bed. As he felt the changes in his body, he answered, "It's just that I can't use much strength."
"The Doctor said that you still need to rest for a while,"Bunduk said.
"Doctor? Have the people of the dragon race come?"Kant raised his head and asked Bunduk.
"Yes. It was the Doctor's spell that brought down your fever,"Bunduk replied. "He also left some medicine for us. It seems that it can be used for minor injuries and illnesses."
"Yes, thank you."Kant touched his stomach and nodded. "I feel that my stomach is empty now."
"Your Majesty didn't eat much during dinner. The kitchen brought some hot porridge in the first half of the night. I'll go get it for you."Bunduk hurriedly walked towards the living room.
"Wait."Kant called out to Bunduk.
"What is it, Your Majesty?"Bunduk turned around and asked curiously.
"Help Abel back to his bedroom to rest. Sleeping on the floor is really too pitiful."Kant said with a helpless smile on his face.
"OH. Yes, yes, yes, yes."Only then did Bunduk remember the existence of Abel. He walked to the bedside and helped Abel up from the ground. He said apologetically, "I forgot about him."
Kant looked at him with helplessness.
The episode that happened that night ended with Bunduk taking good care of Kant.
The next morning, the three of them boarded the carriage assigned by the Dragon Clan and rushed to the foot of the volcano.
"Abel, you didn't even wait for His Majesty Kant to wake up yesterday and fell asleep?"Bunduk joked to Abel.
"I'm Sorry, Your Majesty."Abel didn't pay attention to Bunduk's rebuke. Instead, he directly turned to Kant and smiled apologetically.

Chapter 809: Nomads on the coast
"Don't listen to Bunduk's nonsense. I feel much better after I woke up."Kant smiled and waved his hand. "I don't need you to take care of me together."
After hearing Kant's words, Abel heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, the dragon doctor's medical skills are brilliant. It's impossible for the two of us to make his majesty's fever subside so quickly."
"Before we set off today, I wanted to thank that doctor, but I didn't find him in the castle,"Bunduk recalled.
"It must have taken a lot of doctor's time yesterday."Kant heard from Bunduk that the doctor had personally ordered the kitchen to prepare the meal, he guessed, "There aren't many people in this castle. When I fainted yesterday, the dragon people should have been shocked."
"Not only them, but we were also shocked."Bunduk glanced at Kant and said, "Fortunately, it was just a false alarm."
"Hehe."Kant chuckled. "I'm sorry to have made you worry. My body is very healthy now."
"We should still bring the medical soldier with us."Abel frowned and said, "None of the three of us know medical skills. It's really too dangerous to travel in this place where the climate and environment are completely unfamiliar."
"It doesn't matter. We will meet up with the soldier soon anyway,"Kant comforted him. As he said this, he raised his hand and lifted the curtain, looking at the scenery outside the carriage.
Bunduk was sitting directly opposite Kant. He also glanced at it, a pterosaur flashed across his sight and said, "I didn't expect the Dragon Clan's estate on the island to be so big. I wonder if we can get out of here today."
"It is indeed big."Kant nodded and said, "It seems that their estate is almost surrounding the volcano."
"After all, they are the 'guardians'of this island,"Abel said. "With the protection of the Dragon Clan's forces, the nomads living near the volcano should be living quite well."
"It's a mixed blessing."Bunduk shook his head and said, "The Dragon Clan's forces are too monopolistic, so the nomads near the volcano must follow the rules they set."
"Yes."Kant nodded and said, "This fight should be considered as some nomads on the island putting pressure on the dragon race. "However, I don't think they can subvert this era with the dragon race as the center. "After all, judging from the actions of the dragon race in the past few days, they don't seem to be slacking off at all."
"Yes."Abel nodded in agreement with Kant's point of view.
Amidst the bumpy carriage, the three of them quickly lay down and fell asleep in the carriage.
It wasn't until sunset that the coachman hired by the Dragon Clan stopped the carriage in front of a slope and woke up the three of them who were still napping.
"My Lords, we can only stop here today."The Coachman lifted the curtain and called out softly towards the carriage.
"Where is this place?"Abel quickly woke up after the carriage stopped. He asked the coachman with his drowsy eyes.
"We're almost at the border,"the coachman replied. "But there's no hotel here. I guess I'll have to trouble you all to stay in the carriage for the night."
"Got it. You've worked hard."Bunduk woke up from the conversation and waved to the coachman. "Come in and warm yourself. It's too cold outside."
"Thank you, Lord,"the coachman said gratefully. He walked to the carriage and sat down. He put his purple hands in front of the stove.
"It's almost march. Why is it still so cold?"Abel said as he rolled up the curtains that fluttered in the wind to the inside of the carriage.
"It's okay."The coachman rubbed his hands and answered, "It's just that these higher places are colder. Those places on the coast should have turned green."
"Not really,"bunduk replied, "We just rushed over from the coast two days ago. It's also very cold there."
"Two days?"The Coachman said in surprise.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you."Bunduk patted his forehead and said, "It was the Dragon Tribe's soldier who flew us over."
"That's Great."The coachman said enviously, "It's been a long time since I've returned to my home on the coast. "Because it takes at least two months to go back and forth. It's too time-consuming, and many places on the road are too dangerous."
"Mm."Abel had a deep understanding of this point.
"You, have you settled down on this island?"Kant asked hesitantly.
The Coachman was like them, a common human. Humans didn't have a fixed community on this island. It was hard to imagine that human nomads would settle down on such a small island.
"Yes, my wife is a crew member of a cruise ship in the harbor."The coachman nodded. "She's also a sea monster."
"Do you… have children?"Bunduk couldn't help but ask.
"No, but we adopted a sea monster and a young half-orcs. They are also our children,"the coachman thought for a moment and answered.
"You are really amazing,"Kant praised.
"There are many nomads living near the beach where the harbor is. Many of them are idlers like me. There are also some nomads who don't want to join the forces of their own race. "Everyone comes from different races. In order to take care of each other, they gather together,"the coachman explained carefully. "When they see abandoned young children and so on, they will take them home to raise them."
"I see."Abel said, "Then why did you come to the vicinity of the volcano to be a Coachman?"
"Actually, I just wanted to return General Clayton's favor."The coachman said, "After waiting for the permit from the administrative bureau at the foot of the volcano, I was transferred here and have been working for the Dragon Clan."
"General Clayton?"Bunduk asked.
"Ah, I forgot."The Coachman held his forehead and said, "You can't call young master Milad like that now. I'm sorry."
Bunduk and Kant looked at each other, a hint of confusion in their eyes.
"Young Master Milad was in charge of the troops, right?"Abel asked tentatively. "The leader of the Dragon Clan who led the way for us seemed to have mentioned this matter before."
"Yes."The Coachman raised his head and looked at Abel. "At that time, the Dragon Clan's troops were really in high spirits under Young Master Mirad's command. Moreover, that was also the period when the island's security was the best."
When he said this, his pupils flickered with light, as if he was also a member of the Dragon Clan's army.
"What happened after that?"Bunduk asked curiously.
"I don't know what happened after that."The Coachman shook his head and replied.
Chapter 810: carriage across the plains
The doubts on the faces of Kant and the other two became deeper.
"I heard that Young Master Milad is the appointed heir of the Dragon Clan."Bunduk said, "But it seems that none of his generals are on this island anymore."
"Where did you hear this news?"The Coachman asked in shock.
"It was all told to us by the leader of the Dragon clan that I mentioned before,"Kant answered frankly.
"I didn't expect him to tell you so much.". The Coachman lowered his head and said, "What I know is that young master Milad was seriously injured in a battle due to a mistake in his command caused by the internal conflicts of the troops. The 'king'then sent all the general counselors overseas."
"What does young master Milad think about this decision?"Kant asked.
"This… We don't know."The Coachman shook his head and said, "This matter involves too many people. We are just curious about the matter of many soldiers being sent overseas."
"Yes."Kant nodded and said, "No outstanding general will cherish his soldier. It's a pity for those people under Young Master Milad."
"But that was a long time ago."The Coachman sighed. "Recently, Young Master Milad's mind has probably been focused on the recent events on the island."
"Recently, a lot of things have indeed happened on the island."Abel nodded and said, "By the way, after chatting for so long, I only know that you are a human. May I know your name?"
"Flynn,"the coachman replied. "That's what everyone usually calls me."
"Hello, Flynn.". "My Name Is Bunduk. I'm an officer from Caradia."Bunduk continued with his introduction. "This is Lord Kant, the commander of Caradia. and the person who asked you his name is a general from the Elf Kingdom. His name is Abel."
"Hello!"Every time Bunduk mentioned a person's name, Flynn would lower his head to show respect.
"After chatting for so long, you must be hungry."Kant took out a luggage bag from under his seat, he greeted Flynn. "In such cold weather, it doesn't make sense to not have a good dinner. I have a lot of dry food here. I can give you a portion."
"No, no need. Thank you, Your Majesty."The groom quickly waved his hand and said, "We are always on the road for others, how could we forget to bring food?"
"It's okay, didn't you have to return from the small town after sending us there?"Kant smiled and advised, "We still have to save the food we bring with us."
The groom glanced at Kant and saw that he was determined to insist. He had no choice but to agree. "Alright then. Thank you for Your Gift, Your Majesty."
"It's alright."Kant shook his head and said.
After dinner, the few of them got down from the carriage and breathed in the fresh air in the fields.
"The stars in the sky are really bright."Bunduk pointed at the dark blue night sky and said to the people beside him.
"Tomorrow should be a good day, right?"Abel took a deep breath and replied.
"Okay."Bunduk nodded.
The Moon Rose Higher and higher, and a gust of cold wind blew across the plains. The four of them immediately went back into the carriage.
Because the carriage was not very spacious, that night, the coachman suggested that they watch the night from the driver's seat.
Bunduk was worried about his safety, so he also walked out of the carriage and made a bunk beside the coachman. After the coachman fell asleep, he came to watch the second half of the night and took care of each other.
Kant also agreed to this arrangement.
This was their last night in the territory of the Dragon Clan.
The next morning, Kant and Abel woke up in the shaking carriage. Flynn and Bunduk had already packed up everything and rode their horses towards the border.
Hearing the movement in the carriage, Bunduk opened the door curtain in high spirits. He said to Abel, who was still not fully awake, "Abel, you're right. The weather today is really much better."
Kant was so annoyed by Bunduk's loud voice that he sat up straight. He opened the curtain in the carriage and looked at the horizon.
He looked at the Blue Sky and the blue clouds, as well as the river that was shining under the sunlight. Kant's mood was also freed from the dreary mood of the past few days. The corners of his mouth rose. "Spring is coming to the island."
Abel handed Kant a biscuit and water. "Your Majesty, Here's Your Breakfast."
"Thank you."Kant took the water, took a sip, and said to Abel.
"Flynn! When can we reach the foot of the volcano?"After breakfast, Abel walked out of the carriage, bathed in the sun, and asked Flynn, who was driving the horse.
"Tonight,"Flynn replied.
"That's Great!"Abel took a deep breath and said, "I can finally sleep in the bed tonight."
"Flynn, are you going to stay with US Tonight?"Bunduk handed a glass of water to Flynn and said.
"Yes, thank you."Flynn took a sip carefully and answered, "I don't think so. There are guests waiting for me in the town who are going out of the city. I guess I'll have to sleep in another place tonight."
"Why are you so busy?"Abel frowned and asked, "You don't have time to rest, do you?"
"It's okay,"Flynn said with a smile. "I think my current job is pretty good."
Bunduk looked at the side of Flynn's smiling face. His mouth was half open, but he still didn't say anything.
Everyone chatted while traveling. When Flynn was tired, Abel would take the horsewhip from his hand. He would sit in the driving seat for him.
However, when Flynn recovered some of his strength, Abel would still consciously give up the driving seat under the watchful eyes of Bunduk and Kant.
"Don't tell me you didn't practice riding before you went to the battlefield,"Bunduk scolded Abel.
"This…"Abel was so embarrassed that he could not speak.
After all, during his training before enlisting in the army, the task of riding a horse almost prevented him from joining the troops.
In general, he was enthusiastic, but his skills could not be improved no matter what.
"I almost made you vomit,"Kant could not help but complain.
"… I'm sorry,"Abel was embarrassed under the Siege of the two.
"Hahaha,"Flynn laughed and glanced at the three of them. "You guys are really interesting."
The three of them looked at each other because of the laughter, and finally laughed together.
Before the sun set, Flynn sent Kant and the others to the small town at the foot of the volcano.
"Aren't you going in?"Bunduk stood on the ground and asked Flynn.
"The carriage can not enter the city at will. I have an appointment with the subsequent guests to wait for them here,"Flynn explained, "I wish you all a safe journey."
"See you again if there's a chance."Kant smiled and waved at Flynn as he walked.
Chapter 811: the visit of the new Gnome King
After the gnome guarding the city checked the parcels they carried, they let them pass.
The three of them walked towards the main road in the city. On the way, they saw many gnome troops patrolling the streets.
"It seems that the gnome country has recovered well."Abel nodded. "They've actually taken back the authority of this town."
After hearing his words, Bunduk, who had never been here before, asked in surprise, "Is the town under the volcano managed by the Gnome?"
"No, no, no. It's managed by the forces that live on the volcano. It's just that in recent years, it's the GNOME Tribe's turn,"Abel explained.
"I heard that on the way to the volcano, you adopted a gnome as a captive,"Kant said. "That gnome is called Gilbert, right? It seems that it has helped you a lot."
"Did Devitt mention him to you in the letter?"At the mention of Gilbert, a hint of a smile appeared on Abel's lips, he replied, "He did help us a lot, but we were unable to realize the only thing he asked us to do."
"What did he mention to You?"Kant continued to ask.
"It's a very simple thing: take care of a soldier."Abel's tone became sad. "However, that soldier, like Claremont, has already buried his life in the deep sea during the sinking of the ship."
"Does Gilbert know about this news?"Kant was silent for a moment before he asked softly.
Abel shook his head and replied, "After the incident, I haven't sent him a letter. However, since the Dragon clan already knows about this news, Gilbert shouldn't be too far away from knowing about this matter."
"Since we have already arrived at this small town, you should also go find Gilbert and tell him about this incident."Kant patted Abel's back, "This should be one of the few things we can do for the soldier who sacrificed himself."
"Yes, I will,"Abel agreed.
Abel brought Kant and Bunduk to stay in an inn that they had stayed in before.
Just as they were discussing whether they should take a walk on the streets, a Gnome Army rushed into the inn's lobby. At the end of the group was Gilbert, who was dressed in brocade clothes.
Kant and Bunduk had never met Gilbert before. Just as they were guessing Gilbert's identity, they saw Gilbert walking straight towards them, who were sitting in a corner.
"Long time no see, Abel."Gilbert stood in front of Abel with a smile and greeted him.
"Long time no see, Gilbert."Abel raised his head and looked back.
Kant winked at Bunduk, and Bunduk immediately laughed at Abel. "Abel, it seems that they came to find you on purpose. Let's go take a walk on the street first. you two can chat slowly."
Abel pursed his lips and nodded at Kant. "Okay. You two take care of yourselves."
"Okay."
Gilbert sat down next to Abel and looked at Kant and Kant walking towards the door. He asked, "Who are the two of them?"
"The lord of Caradia and the commander of the troops,"Abel introduced.
"Do you know why I came to find you?"Gilbert nodded and commanded the surrounding soldier to leave the room.
"I'm really sorry about what happened to Austin."Abel lowered his head and replied.
"A few days ago, I heard the news of the sunken ship on the volcano. Before I could write to you, I heard that you were brought to their estate by the Dragon Clan."Gilbert clenched his fists, trembling, he asked him, "Tell me, did something really happen to Austin?"
"Yes, his body has already been salvaged from Cumberland,"Abel said. "The funeral will be held in Drondheim, the main city of Caradia."
"Why did this happen? !"Gilbert shouted. "Have you forgotten what you promised me?"
"The people in the troops rebelled. All the crew members who boarded the ship died and were crippled,"Abel explained. "Even Cremont…"
After hearing the news, Gilbert looked at Abel in disbelief and said, "Tell me the name of the person who rebelled. I will definitely make his life a living hell."
"The soldier who rebelled has already committed suicide."Abel's shoulders had already collapsed, he stated, "After helping us lure out the members of the dark forces who were in charge of contacting him, he brought that person along and jumped off the ship."
Gilbert placed his hand on his forehead. After taking a few deep breaths, he said, "How long have you been away from here? So many things have happened. Is it because you helped the midget clan?"
"Yes. After we walked out of the town, the dwarf clan set up an ambush on the outskirts of the city,"Abel recalled and said. "However, Devitt and Claremont's soldier did not let them succeed."
"So they bribed an insider and made a move on the cruise ship you were on."Abel closed his eyes and said, "Where are you now?"
"We can only investigate layer by layer."Abel sighed and said, "Now we only know that there is a member of the snake-woman clan named Kala who is in charge of this plot."
"You don't have any foundation on this island. "If we continue to investigate like this, we probably won't be able to find out when the two sides start a war."Gilbert stood up and said to Abel, "I will have my subordinates investigate this matter. "You just need to ensure your own safety."
"The lord of Caradia came to this small island personally for this matter, and you want us to act as if nothing happened and quietly stay in this small town."Abel shook his head, "It's still too much."
"Okay."Gilbert thought for a moment and nodded. "If you really want to investigate, I Can't Stop You. Let's see who can find the person behind this first. Then, we'll use the method we wish to use to get rid of them."
After saying this, Gilbert left the inn with his troops.
At the inn's entrance, he bumped into Kant and Bunduk, who had just returned from shopping. Gilbert took the initiative to greet Kant, "Hello, lord of Caradia. I am the new lord of the Gnome Tribe, Gilbert."
"Hello, my name is Kant. This is the commander of Caradia's troops, Bunduk,"Kant replied politely.
"Hello, Commander Bunduk."Gilbert's gaze moved from Kant to Bunduk. He said to him, "I don't know if you remember that there is a soldier named Austin in your team?"
"I do."Bunduk lowered his head slightly and replied, "He is an excellent soldier with a gentle personality and strong execution."
Chapter 812: A Different Kind of accommodation experience
"HMM, it seems that we are talking about the same person."Gilbert nodded and said, "I heard that his body has been transported back to your country. I will definitely visit him when I have the chance. We will meet again in the future."
"Mm."Kant and Bunduk both nodded to Gilbert.
Gilbert glanced at them, then turned around and left.
"According to dewitt, the new Gnome King seems to be underage,"Kant said as he looked at Gilbert's back.
"He's young, but he already has the aura of being above the throne,"Bunduk commented.
"King Kant! Commander Bunduk!"Abel walked out of the inn's lobby and greeted the two.
"How did your conversation go?"Kant asked.
"Gilbert promised to help us investigate the mastermind behind the dark forces, but he didn't tell me what he would do. "It seems that Austin's death has indeed dealt him quite a blow."Abel sighed, "Yes.".
"I hope Gilbert won't act on impulse in this matter,"Bunduk said. "If he does something extreme to the dark forces and brings about a negative impact on his identity, then it will be troublesome."
"That's why we have to find out who's behind this before he does,"Kant said after thinking for a while.
"But our troops will still need about five days to arrive here,"Bunduk said worriedly.
"It doesn't matter. The three of us can still investigate,"Kant said firmly. "While we still can't attract the attention of the nomads during this period of time, we can go to any place in the town to search for information."
"Yes!"Bunduk and Abel agreed.
The three of them walked into the inn together. The inn owner who was hiding under the counter immediately rushed out and stood in front of them. He said with a fawning expression, "Dear guests, so you are friends of Your Highness Gilbert. It was really rude and impolite before. I will immediately send a waiter to change the room for you."
"No need."Bunduk frowned and said, "The place we are staying at now is quite good."
The inn owner said with a conflicted look on his face, "Everyone, don't worry. Your bags will be sent to your new rooms by the waiter. You can also customize your dinner and send it to your rooms with a dining cart. "All of this is free of charge."
Abel looked at the inn's owner with a complicated expression. He, Devitt, and the others had also rested in this inn before. Furthermore, Gilbert had knocked a big hole in the inn's door one night. It seemed that two months had passed since this incident, and the inn's owner had completely forgotten about it.
"Alright then."Kant took the new guest room key from the owner with a smile. He thanked him, "Thank you, Boss."
"No problem, no problem."The boss seemed to be very happy as he replied with a smile.
Bunduk pursed his lips and followed Kant up the stairs leading to the second floor.
The inn owner looked at Abel who was still standing in the same spot and staring at him. He said timidly, "Sir, aren't you going up?"
"Sir, the door of this lobby is quite nice,"Abel said and followed him up the stairs.
The inn owner looked at Abel's back in confusion and muttered, "So what if it's nice? I Can't give it to you. I asked someone to dress it up for me… eh? This person seems a little familiar?"
After entering the rearranged room, the three of them chose to go to the bed and lie down.
"I'm really tired today."Bunduk stretched his stiff body and said, "Don't wake me up until dinner."
"The porter who delivers the bags will knock on the door later, right?"Abel sat on the chair and looked at the door.
"Please."Bunduk had already taken off his boots and covered himself with a quilt.
Abel glanced at him helplessly, then looked in Kant's direction.
"Your Majesty, What are you doing?"Abel walked to Kant's side and asked curiously.
"Today, Bunduk and I took a stroll around the streets nearby. We are now memorizing the names of the guilds we saw,"Kant raised his head and explained.
"I see. Are they like the guilds in dwarf town?"Abel nodded.
Kant supported his head and thought for a moment, he replied, "There are still some differences. This is because the guilds in this town are operated by different races. Their scale is smaller than the dwarf guilds, and the information you can get is also different."
"Yes."Abel nodded and said, "Tomorrow, what is our mission?"
"Of course, to find out about Kala's background and her recent movements,"Kant replied. "If she has been hiding in the snake-woman's estate, we have to think of a way to lure her out."
"As expected, we have to start from the clues left by shadow something,"Abel replied.
"Knock, Knock, Knock. May I ask if Lord Kant is here?"A series of knocks on the door rang in their ears.
Kant winked at Abel, indicating for him to open the door.
"It's probably the luggage delivery guy,"Abel muttered as he walked towards the door.
"Creak –"the door to the guest room was opened by Abel. Standing outside was a waiter dressed in uniform. Three People's bags were placed at the waiter's feet.
Abel picked up the bags on the ground and thanked the waiter. "Thank you. Thank you for your hard work."
"May I know your name?"The waiter called out to Bunduk, who was about to turn around and leave.
"Yes, my name is Bunduk."Abel turned around and answered the waiter.
"Dinner is about to begin. Have you ordered yet?"The waiter took out a notebook and asked.
"… ordered? No."Abel put his bags under his feet with a puzzled look. He thought for a moment and answered.
"This is our menu. Please take a look at it, and the guests inside."The waiter handed over a leather notebook, he explained to Abel, "The bell in the room can call the waiter over. When the time comes, just give him the marked menu."
"Oh, I see."Abel nodded and replied, "Thank you."
"You're welcome,"the waiter replied. After seeing Abel walk into the room with his bags, he turned around and went downstairs.
When Abel walked into the room, Kant immediately put down his pen, walked up to take the bags, and asked, "Why did you guys talk for so long?"
"The waiter gave me a menu for dinner, and told me that the bell in this room can summon the waiter of the Inn."Abel put his bags on the bed, he explained, "Let me see where the bell is."
"It should be that one."Kant pointed at the bell in front of the door.
If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.

Chapter 813: The Guild run by the snake-woman
Abel held the bell in his hand and fiddled with it for a while. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect such a convenient thing to exist in this inn. I really can't tell just by looking at the inn owner."
"This rope should be connected to the kitchen,"Kant said. "Come and see what you'll order for dinner today."
"Yes."Abel put down the bell and nodded.
The two sat at the tea table and discussed the dishes for tonight.
"Abel, aren't you going to order the main dishes? I saw that you only ordered two vegetable salads."Kant looked at the menu and asked in puzzlement.
"It's okay. These are my usual main dishes."Abel smiled and shook his head, "And I'm a vegetarian. Your Majesty Kant, do we need to wake up Commander Bunduk? Because I don't know what he wants to order."
"No need. He should be really tired."Kant didn't even raise his head to reply. "Let him sleep a little longer. I'll just order some of the staple foods recommended by the shop."
"HMM, alright."Abel glanced in the direction of the bed where Banduk was lying. Snoring sounds were coming from inside.
Kant closed the remark on the menu and walked to the porch to ring the bell. After a while, they heard footsteps approaching the door.
"Knock, Knock, Knock!"The waiter in uniform knocked on the door of the guest room.
The moment Kant opened the door, he smelled the smell of oil on the waiter.
"Hello. Are you the customer who ordered?"The waiter asked politely.
"Yes."Kant smiled and handed the menu to the waiter. "Please come here in person."
"No problem."The waiter took out a towel to wipe his hands and took the menu. He replied, "Please wait for a while. Dinner will be served in a while."
"Have these dishes been prepared?"Kant asked in surprise.
"Yes. and they are freshly cooked."The waiter thought that Kant was worried about the freshness of the dishes, so he hurriedly explained, "The first batch of dishes that we make are all for distinguished guests like you."
"I see."Kant nodded. "Thank you."
The cook waved his hand and said, "If there are no other questions, I'll take my leave first."
"Okay."Kant watched the cook leave and returned to the guest room.
At this time, Bunduk had been woken up by Abel and was washing up in his own bathroom.
"Bunduk is awake?"Kant sat down at the tea table, poured himself a cup of water, and asked Abel.
"Yes."Abel was packing his bags. He turned around and answered, "When I was about to call him, he woke up on his own."
"As long as he has rested enough."As Kant spoke, he picked up the notebook on the tea table and started reading again.
The three of them went about their own business, peacefully passing the time before dinner.
When the waiter who pushed the dining cart into the room was passing food to the table, Bunduk walked out of the bathroom with his long, wet hair.
Looking at the back of the waiter who left in a hurry, bunduk asked curiously, "What's wrong with him?"
"He seems to be a teenage girl. When he saw you walk out with your upper body naked, he naturally felt embarrassed,"Abel replied as he stirred the vegetable salad in the bowl.
"I'm sorry, I didn't pay much attention."Bunduk smiled awkwardly. He immediately took out a coat from the suitcase at the side and put it on himself.
"Hurry up and sit down and eat,"Kant said to Bunduk. "You shouldn't go to the bathroom and take a shower immediately after waking up. It's easy to faint if you do that."
"This is my usual habit,"Bunduk said with a laugh.
"I don't know what you like to eat, so I ordered a steak set meal for you."Kant glanced at bunduk and said, "If you don't like it, you can use the bell at the door to order from the waiter."
Bunduk was probably really hungry, so he picked up a large piece of steak on his plate and chopped it. After hearing Kant's words, he wiped his mouth, turned around and looked at the door. "What's the function of that Bell?"
"If you pull it, the kitchen on the first floor will send a waiter,"Abel explained.
"I see."Bunduk thought for a moment and nodded.
Abel glanced at Bunduk, he said to Kant, "Your Majesty, according to Gilbert, the Dragon Clan has already spread the news of US meeting at the castle. Do you think that after him, the members of the Midget clan will also come to meet us?"
"I don't think so."Kant took a sip of the soup, he frowned and replied, "The Midget clan is currently in the eye of the storm. They are probably even busier than the Dragon Clan. They probably don't have the time to come and see us. "However, you did remind me that when we go out to scout for Information Tomorrow, we also have to find out the situation around this volcano."
"Your Majesty, where are we heading to tomorrow?"Bunduk was still chewing on his food, and his voice sounded indistinct.
"Let's go to the guild that we found out about today first."Kant put down his cutlery, he replied, "We don't have much time left. I've already marked down the main points of the guild that we must go to. After dinner is over, you two remember to take a good look at your notes."
"Yes,"Abel agreed.
"Dinner at this inn is quite late."Kant wiped his mouth with a napkin and gestured for the other two to enjoy their meal. He said, "Tomorrow, we'll find a tavern in town and have our meal before returning."
"Okay."Bunduk nodded.
"It's getting late. I'll go back to my room to rest first."Kant pushed the chair aside and stood up to instruct them. "You guys rest early as well. Don't forget to read your notes."
"Yes."
Kant looked at the two of them and nodded. He turned around and walked to his bedroom.
After Kant left, Bunduk called for a waiter and added a portion of pasta for himself.
Looking at Bunduk who was sucking on the noodles, Abel walked to the tea table helplessly and began to study Kant's notes.
"Where is the first place we are going tomorrow?"After finishing his dinner, Bunduk sat down beside Abel with a Teacup and asked.
"LA… Tata. The name of this guild is quite strange."Abel pointed at the letter circled in red and said in puzzlement.
"Oh, I remember this."Bunduk replied, "It seems to be near downstairs. The owner of this guild is a snake-woman."
"Isn't it too ostentatious to go to the snake-woman's guild to inquire about a snake-woman?"Abel said with a frown.
"How can that be? When the time comes, we will act according to the situation."Bunduk was not worried about this question. He replied, "Moreover, those in the business of gathering information should at least have a professional ethics."
Chapter 814: A peaceful night
"Alright."Abel nodded in agreement. He continued to pick up the notebook and read it, but after asking a few questions to bunduk, he received no response.
Just as he was feeling strange, Bunduk's heavy head rested on his shoulder, and the sound of his calm breathing reached Abel's ears.
"He's asleep…"Abel lowered his head and looked at Bunduk's sleeping face. He said softly, "Didn't he sleep for the whole afternoon today? How Strange… He hasn't even read his notes. This person is really…"
Abel carried the sleeping Bunduk on his back and walked to the bed in the bedroom, making him lie flat on the bed. After blowing out the candle holder in the room, he gently closed the door and walked out.
It was late at night when Abel finally fell asleep on the Cork Recliner in the side room with his notebook in his arms.
The next morning, Abel was still the first to wake up. After all, the Cork chair was not as comfortable as the soft bed in the bedroom.
He sized up the quiet guest room and guessed that Kant and Bunduk were still asleep. Abel dragged his aching body into the bathroom.
In fact, before he came into contact with Caradia's soldier, he did not have any obsession with bathing.
However, after seeing Claremont and the others leisurely bathing in the inn's large bathhouse, Abel began to think that bathing was one of the ways to refresh one's mind power.
As a water elf, he did gain a lot of benefits from it.
After Abel took a bath and came out of the bathroom. Kant was already sitting on a chair by the dining table and eating his morning tea.
"Good Morning, your majesty,"Abel greeted.
"Good Morning,"Kant raised his head and replied, "What's wrong with you? You Don't seem to be in good spirits."
"I accidentally fell asleep on the chair last night. I feel that my shoulder is a little sore now,"Abel replied as he swung his arm back and forth.
"I'll go to the medical kit and get you some ointment to wipe yourself with,"Kant said as he stood up and walked to the door of his room, then he stuck his head out and said, "By the way, it's getting late. Please help me wake up Bunduk."
"Yes!"Abel was stunned for a moment. After he reacted, he replied.
He pushed open Bunduk's door, and the familiar snoring reached his ears. Abel furrowed his brows. He was really a little angry. They had gone through a lot of trouble to come to this small town, and their goal was to find the real culprit who framed Devitt and the others. However, ever since Bunduk arrived at the inn, no matter how one looked at it, he looked listless. Most of his time was spent on sleeping.
"Commander Bunduk! It's time to get up!"Abel walked to the side of the bed and shouted at the sleeping Bunduk.
The snoring finally stopped, and Bunduk's body moved. But he had no intention of waking up.
Abel sighed and reached out to shake Bunduk. "Bunduk, wake up! We're going on a mission!"
After a while, Bunduk opened his eyes in a daze. He raised his head and said to Abel, "Abel, what are you doing?"
"I'm waking you up,"Abel said, looking at Bunduk strangely.
"AH."Bunduk stared at Abel in a daze for a while. He sighed and said, "I had a nightmare just now."
"What Did you dream about?"Abel sat down beside Bunduk's bed and asked.
"I dreamed that the people on this island were fighting. "I don't know why, but you were among those who were fighting. "I went to pull you, and you even beat me up. "Then, the two of US fought, and then, you died."
After describing the entire dream, Bunduk looked at Abel timidly.
"You… can't express yourself."Abel was stunned, after a while, he replied, "Also, why was I the one who died in the dream? As a mage, how could I be beaten to death by you?"
"I don't know either."Bunduk shook his head and replied, "I only remember that my hands were covered in blood…"
Looking at Bunduk's guilty expression, Abel relaxed his tone, he comforted him, "Don't mind it. It's just a dream. I still have the self-awareness that I won't go against you. Quickly get up and wash up. King Kant has been waiting for you for a while."
"… Okay."Bunduk watched Abel's back as he left and patted his head with force. Actually, the reason why this dream happened was related to his daily thoughts.
For some reason, the way he looked at Abel became strange recently. He felt that Abel's behavior was very suspicious.
"My brain is really broken…"bunduk frowned and whispered.
"Abel, come here and sit down."Kant was studying the medicine bottle in the medical box. When he saw Abel walk out of Bunduk's bedroom, he immediately asked him to sit down in front of him.
"Your Majesty…"after Abel sat down according to the instructions, he saw the bottles and jars placed in front of him and called out awkwardly.
"Don't worry, I only looked through them out of curiosity."Kant raised a small bottle of white ointment in his hand and explained, "You only need to apply this."
"HMM, that's good."Abel heaved a sigh of relief and said.
"For a mage like you, if you don't care about the root of the illness that usually happens when you are injured, it will also cause great damage to your body."Kant opened the bottle and exhorted Abel.
"It can't be that serious… ah…"halfway through Abel's explanation, he felt that the ointment on his back was like a burning fire, and he couldn't help but cry out.
"Are You Alright?"Kant asked with concern. "This ointment has a good effect. It's just that at the beginning, it will have some special effects."
"I'm fine,"Abel replied, pursing his lips tightly.
After washing up, Bunduk sat to the side and said while chewing on a piece of bread, "Abel, why didn't you go back to bed yesterday?"
"I fell asleep while sitting here reading the notebook."Abel glared at Bunduk and said while clenching his teeth.
"Ah, right. I haven't read that notebook yet."Bunduk suddenly remembered the mission Kant had given him last night and said in surprise.
"It's too late to read it now."Kant looked at bunduk helplessly and said, "Come and help me apply the ointment. We have to leave early later."
"I'm sorry,"Bunduk said apologetically to Abel.
After saying that, he put down his breakfast, squeezed a small pinch of ointment into his hand, and massaged Abel's neck.
"It's okay."Abel looked at him helplessly and nodded.
Kant walked to the door, rang the bell, and called the waiter who was in charge of cleaning up the tableware.
Chapter 815: Cheetah that appeared out of thin air
After the three of them walked out of the inn, they immediately rushed towards the 'rattata'guild.
However, when they arrived there, they discovered that there was a sign hanging at the door of the 'rattata'guild. It said that the shopkeeper had something to attend to and was out of town. It was open for business at six o'clock in the afternoon today.
There were many nomads lined up at the entrance of the guild, just like Kant and the others, who had come because of their fame. After seeing the notice at the entrance, many people turned around and left.
"Your Highness, why don't we go somewhere else to take a look first?"Bunduk suggested.
"Yes, Alright."Kant nodded. Just as the three of them were about to follow the crowd and leave, a young man dressed in rather old clothes stopped them
"May I ask if you are Lord Kant of the Caradia Empire?"The young man's expression was very rich. After standing in front of Kant, he excitedly called out, "I am a Beast Tamer. My name is pick."
Bunduk took a step forward and stood in front of pick. He asked him, "What do you want?"
"I live nearby. Yesterday, when your highness Gilbert came to look for you, I happened to pass by there."Pick made an introduction. "This time, I mainly want to make friends with you."
"We are not here to make friends with others,"Abel said coldly. Based on his intuition, he did not think that the Beast Tamer in front of him was a good person.
"We are all human compatriots, why are you so disgusted?"Pick still had a bright smile on his face. He advised, "Maybe we can take care of each other in the future."
Kant sighed and prepared to turn around and leave.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't go."Pick looked at Kant's back and said, "If you leave, you won't have the chance to enter this guild and ask for the information you want."
When Kant heard this, his body froze. He asked, "What do you mean?"
Pick narrowed the distance between him and the three people a little, he explained to Kant in a low voice, "Those who left as soon as they saw the notice are all newcomers to this town. "Latata only recruits dozens of guests every day. The number of people is not fixed. "If you leave now, when you come back later, there will be a long line at the door. You Won't have the chance to go in."
"Really?"Abel raised his eyebrows and said.
"I'm here to tell you this,"pick said sincerely. "Look at those who are squatting at the door and refusing to leave. They are all experienced. "I guess they are still praying in their hearts that the more people who leave, the better."
"So this is what you are doing here."Bunduk raised his head and looked around.
"Hehe, now you know that I'm really here to be friends with you."Pick said with a smile.
Kant and Abel looked at each other and coughed twice, "Since we're both idlers, it's fate for us to meet once. It's awkward to call us friends. How about you let me meet someone like you today?"
Pick didn't quite understand what Kant meant. He thought for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Let's get to know each other. It doesn't matter. I'm just here to give you a message."
"Okay."Kant nodded. "Bunduk, you stay here with Mr. Beast Tamer and wait for the Guild to open. Abel and I will go to other places to take a look during this period of time."
"Me?"Bunduk raised his head and looked at the sky. In the end, he compromised. "Alright. Pay attention to your safety."
"I Will Protect Your Highness Kant,"Abel promised Bunduk.
"Where do you two plan to go next?"Pick asked curiously.
"This… It's not convenient to tell you."Abel shook his head and said.
"Abel, let's go."Kant walked a short distance by himself and greeted Abel.
"Yes."After saying 'goodbye'to Bunduk, Abel immediately caught up with Kant.
After the arrival of spring, the Sun in the city became more intense.
Bunduk and pick stood side by side on the main street. Unknowingly, they felt sleepy.
"I don't know why I haven't been sleeping well lately."Bunduk tried his best to open his eyes wide and talk to pick.
"Maybe it's spring,"pick answered softly.
"You mean people get sleepy when it's Spring?"Bunduk chuckled. "But I didn't have such a special feeling every year at this time."
"Yes."Pick turned his body and nodded at Bunduk. "Maybe it's because you lost something in the past."
"What?"Bunduk looked at him and asked curiously.
"This."The corner of Pick's mouth curled up. He reached out his hand behind Bunduk's ear, and a fluorescent purple bug stopped on his hand.
Bunduk touched his neck and asked, "What's This?"
"Humming chi, a kind of magical flying bug. It feeds on human essence,"pick explained. Then, the flying bug disappeared from his finger.
"So it's because of it. Why Do I have this thing on me?"Bunduk asked in puzzlement. "Why did it disappear again?"
"Because it's now living in my body,"pick said calmly.
"You are its trainer?"Bunduk was stunned for a moment, and immediately kept a distance from pick. His eyes became alert.
"Yes,"pick answered without any change in expression.
"You are sent by the dark forces, right?"Bunduk's right hand was already on the hilt of the knife at his waist.
"Hehe. You guessed right."Pick smiled. "So, do you still intend to continue the investigation?"
"You framed a whole ship of our soldier and buried them in the sea. Why Can't we continue investigating?"A trace of hatred appeared in Bunduk's eyes.
"Because that would be the worst choice."Pick's eyes flashed with a sharp glint, he answered fiercely, "Actually, the higher-ups meant that you guys should just run into a wall in this small town. "I didn't expect that you guys would have dealings with Gilbert. "This morning, Kala was kidnapped by his men and is now being interrogated in some dark interrogation room. "It's all because of your blabbering!"
"How could you people think of the relationship between Gilbert and a soldier who sacrificed himself in our team?"Bunduk replied loudly, "Although his method is a little too extreme, I don't think there's anything wrong with it."
"Trash who only knows how to ask others for help."Pick roared. "No matter how many injuries KLA suffered under Gilbert's men's hands, you have to bear double the pain."
"Come on!"Bunduk pulled out his longsword and confronted pick.
"Porphyrin!"After receiving the spiritual energy from the ring on Pick's hand, a silver light flashed, and a cheetah appeared in front of Bunduk.
Chapter 816: Commander who was defeated on the ground
Looking at the black fog that covered the cheetah's body.
Bunduk narrowed his eyes vigilantly and held the hilt of his saber tightly with both hands.
"Go!"Pick commanded porphyrin.
The cheetah immediately rushed in front of bunduk, revealing its sharp fangs.
The nomads on the street had run away from this place at the beginning of the battle. Only the residents who lived nearby were lying on the windows on the second floor, continuing to watch.
"Ahhhh!"Bunduk shouted as he swung his longsword towards the cheetah.
However, the Cheetah's body was too nimble, and Bunduk's sword only grazed a few of its fur.
"Roar!"The Cheetah's eyes were filled with scarlet blood. It raised its sharp claws and pounced towards Bunduk.
Bunduk rolled to the side and dodged his attack. His gaze landed on pick, who was casting a spell behind the cheetah.
"Let's end this quickly,"Bunduk muttered in his heart. He swung his longsword at his waist and dived towards pick's position.
"Roar!"The cheetah rushed in front of pick and blocked his path.
"How troublesome."Bunduk dodged the Cheetah's attack while trying his best to get closer to pick.
In his eyes, Pick could only control one beast. As long as he could cut off pick's spiritual power injection to the cheetah, the threat that the cheetah posed would also disappear.
"Stop right there."Bunduk reluctantly walked in front of pick. When the cheetah missed, he used the longsword to cut his arm.
At that moment, time seemed to have stopped. The sweat on Bunduk's forehead wetted his eyelashes. The sound of the window closing came from the second floor. Pick frowned because of the injury on his arm, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
Bunduk looked at the huge shadow on the ground, and his eyes widened in horror. Before he could turn around, the cheetah, which had grown several times in size, slapped him into the brick wall of the house by the roadside.
Some small insects the size of rice grains crawled out of the wound on pick's arm and licked the blood that was flowing out. After a while, the flesh and blood returned to its original appearance.
Pick tore off his torn sleeve and walked to the unconscious Bunduk. He smiled and said, "How stupid. My Pet is much stronger than me."
Pick grabbed Bunduk's hair and dragged him out of the brick wall. He then called out to the cheetah behind him, "Porphyrin, let's go back."
The ring on his finger dimmed, and the cheetah disappeared into the air.
Abel and Kant were currently two streets away, rushing towards the scene of the battle.
After they stepped into a guild, they heard the news of the snake-woman's KLA's arrest from the mouths of their peers.
Gilbert's unexpected actions made Kant and Bunduk's hearts hang in their throats.
Not long after, Abel saw a few familiar-looking nomads squatting at the entrance of the 'Latata'guild.
He walked up to them in puzzlement and said, "Hello, we've met before at the entrance of the snake-woman guild, right? Why are you here?"
"There are two crazy people fighting over there. We Can't stay here any longer. That's why we're here,"the nomads replied. "What a pity. It wasn't easy for me to get to the front today."
"Someone is fighting?"Abel had a bad feeling.
"Yes, one of them is wearing armor. He seems to be a soldier of the human race."The nomads thought for a while and said, "Right…"
Before the Nomads finished speaking, Abel had already run out of the crowd and reported the news to Kant.
The two of them immediately ran toward the gate of the 'Latata'guild. They also met many patrolling soldiers of the Gnome tribe who were on the same path as them.
"I didn't expect that there would still be people who dare to cause trouble in the town,"Kant heard a gnome complain.
"I heard that the ones who are causing trouble are members of the dark forces. Recently, that group of people has been causing more and more trouble,"another GNOME said. "I wonder how much trouble they have caused this time?"
Kant sighed and said, "So that guy named pick is actually a member of the dark forces. We should be more vigilant."
"Right now, we can only hope that Bunduk can hold on. Stall for more time so that we can save him,"Abel said.
Unfortunately, the battle did not last long. When the two of them stood in front of the lattata guild's gate again, they only saw a mess of ground and collapsed brick houses.
"What… What's going on? General, you have to make a decision for me. It was not easy for me to get permission to build this brick house,"the owner of the house was crying with the GNOME soldier who had rushed over.
"Alright, Alright. We will compensate you."The GNOME leader said in annoyance.
"Your Majesty, it seems that Bunduk was knocked unconscious by the Beast Tamer and was taken away…"Abel lowered his head and said to Kant, "Is all of this because of Gilbert?"
"Perhaps."Kant no longer had the strength and nodded.
"We don't know where Bunduk has been taken. What should we do now?"Abel said helplessly.
"Go up the mountain and look for the Midget clan."Kant was silent for a moment, then said, "Those people from the dark forces kidnapped the commander of Caradia's troops. This is enough for us to declare war on them."
"Are Caradia's troops going to attack this small island?"Abel asked.
"Yes, that's what I think."Kant nodded. "Before that, let's ask the leader of the Midget clan. I didn't want this to become a cross-country dispute."
"Yes, I will do my best to support your Majesty."Abel promised. "I hope we can rescue Bunduk this morning."
"That guy named pick didn't kill him. It must be because he wants to trade Bunduk and Kala. Before we go to see the Midget clan, we have to go to the Gnome Kingdom."
"But Gilbert said that he won't cooperate with us to investigate the sinking ship…"Abel said hesitantly.
"He won't."Kant shook his head and said, "Gilbert just wants to take the place of us to accept the attack of the dark forces. It can be said that we have underestimated the dark forces."
"Alright."Abel nodded and said, "We will go to the mountain immediately."
"Okay."Kant nodded.
The two of them summoned a carriage that passed by and rushed to the teleportation formation's base.
After paying a high fee at the front desk, Abel brought Kant to the teleportation formation and rushed to the Gnome's estate.
Right now, Bunduk's life was in the hands of those people. They could only seize the time to think of a way to save this comrade. And the key to all of this was the decision Gilbert made.

Chapter 817: the two who rushed to the top of the mountain
Teleportation formation could not send them directly to the Gnome's estate. Kant and Abel stopped at their stronghold halfway up the mountain and asked for directions to the main city gate.
"Hey! I Am Abel, the leader of the Elves'Soldier! Your Highness Gilbert and I are friends. Something urgent has happened! We must meet him."After walking to the city gate, abel shouted at the GNOME soldier on the city wall.
Hearing the noise, the GNOME soldier looked at each other in dismay. However, there was still a soldier who recognized Kant and Abel. He opened the city gate for them and went down the city gate to welcome them.
"Hello, King Kant of Caradia."A gnome soldier walked in front of Kant, bowed to him and asked, "His Majesty Gilbert has not returned to the palace. May I know why you are looking for him?"
"Where is Gilbert Now?"Abel asked anxiously.
"He is on his way back from the snake-woman's estate. He will probably only return to the country late tonight."The GNOME soldier answered Abel's question.
Kant nodded, slightly bent down, and held the soldier's hand, "Thank you.". One of our companions went missing today. "It seems that this matter is related to what Gilbert did when he went to the snake-woman's estate.". "We want to Find Your Highness Gilbert to discuss the next countermeasures."
"I see."The GNOME soldier frowned after hearing Kant's explanation. Then, he called out to the two, "Then I'll immediately send my soldiers to escort the two lords into the palace. I'll report this matter to Your Highness Gilbert after he returns to the city."
"Alright, then I will have to trouble you."Kant nodded and thanked him.
The GNOME soldier called over the soldier beside him and whispered a few words into his ear. After the subordinate left, not long after, a carriage was brought to Kant and Abel.
The gnome carriage driver who got down from the carriage set up a small ladder to board the carriage and quietly retreated to the side.
Kant and Abel looked at each other and said goodbye to the soldier. "Goodbye, everyone."
"Be careful on the way,"the GNOME soldier instructed.
Kant stepped on the ladder first and boarded the carriage. The gnome carriage was smaller than the carriage used by humans. After Abel squeezed into the carriage, Kant could only tighten his shoulders helplessly.
The carriage began to move amidst the horses'cries and galloped towards the main road in the city.
Due to their awkward posture, Kant and Abel did not say a word throughout the entire journey. Half an hour later, the coachman opened the curtain and called for the two of them to get off the carriage. Only then did the two of them let out a sigh of relief and walked out of the carriage to stretch their muscles.
"My Lords, we have already arrived."The Coachman pointed at the palace door and said, "The guards at the door will arrange the rest of the journey for you."
"Alright, thank you for your hard work,"Abel agreed.
"It's alright."The coachman smiled and said, "I'll take my leave first."
"Okay."
After the carriage left the palace door, Kant looked around. This was not the center of the city, and there were not many buildings around. The few pedestrians on the streets were mostly dressed luxuriously. It seemed that this was a residential area specially provided for the Gnome Noble.
At this time, a soldier in armor walked up to the two of them and said, "Excuse me, are you here to see your Highness Gilbert's guest? Did the city-guarding troops send you here?"
"Yes."Kant nodded politely and replied, "I heard that your Highness Gilbert is on his way back to the country. I wonder where we can wait for him?"
"Your Highness probably won't be able to return to his bedroom to rest until the wee hours of the morning.". "Please follow me to the living quarters that I have arranged for you."The soldier replied, "When your highness Gilbert returns to the country, a soldier will immediately rush over to inform all of you."
"Mm, alright."Kant pursed his lips and agreed.
After the soldier brought the two of them to a luxuriously decorated living quarters, he excused himself and left.
"Now we can only hope that Gilbert can return safely to the Gnome Kingdom and meet us,"Kant said to Abel as he took a sip of tea.
"Yes,"Abel leaned against the window and replied softly, "I wonder how Bunduk is doing now…"
Although both of them were extremely tired, the uneasiness in their hearts still prevented them from walking to the bedside and lying down to rest. They could only sit at the tea table and wait for the news in silence.
Pick did not take the unconscious Bunduk far away. After walking out of the sight of the onlookers, he returned to the living quarters he had bought on the street.
He had not informed the other members of the dark forces about this operation. It was only because he was really angry at Gilbert's overbearing style that he could not help but attack Bunduk and the others.
After Kant and the others entered the town, the orcs in charge of contacting him introduced the background of this group of people to him. He also reminded him to keep a close eye on them. The 'delay'worm was also planted on Bunduk's body at that time.
Pick looked through the crack in the window at the guild entrance and saw the GNOME troops that were scouting the scene. There were also Kant and Abel who had rushed over after hearing the news. The two of them stood in front of the union entrance and lowered their heads to discuss something.
"Sipa, go and listen to what they are saying."Pick stared at Kant's position and ordered softly.
A small snake with a transparent physique slithered from the window sill on the second floor to the stone steps beside Kant. The two of them did not notice its existence. The content of the conversation echoed clearly in Pick's ears.
"Heh."When pick heard that Kant intended to declare war on the dark forces, he let out a cold laugh and said disdainfully, "It's just a small desert country. You really have no self-awareness."
"You…"
While pick was still monitoring Kant, Bunduk, who was lying on the floor, woke up. However, his consciousness was still in a trance. After seeing the unfamiliar figure in front of him, he hesitantly called out.
Pick was frightened by the sudden call and cut off the connection of his spiritual power. The little snake called 'sipa'also shrank into a hole in the ground.
This transparent little snake was very afraid of the sunlight. If it did not have the blessing of a spell, it could only stay in a place where there was no sunlight.
"SIPA!"Pick could not help but call out. When he did not see the little snake, he turned around and glared at Bunduk. He said, "What are you screaming for!"
"… I remember now."After recovering his consciousness, Bunduk stared at pick and said, "You are that Bastard Beast Tamer!"
"Well, then?"Pick picked up a wooden chair and threw it at Bunduk. He said angrily, "It's all because of your scream just now. Now, I don't know where Percy is! You people are really a bunch of Jinx!"
Chapter 818: an accomplice who happened to meet on the street
Bunduk caught the wooden chair that flew in front of him. He stood up and asked pick, "I was knocked unconscious by the attack from the cheetah you raised just now, right?"
"It seems that it didn't hit me hard enough."Pick looked out of the window and said to Bunduk who was behind him.
"Since I've woken up, let's have another match."Bunduk reached out his hand to his waist, but he was surprised to find that his weapon was not in the scabbard.
"Heh."Pick leaned against the window and looked at Bunduk with a cold smile. "I'm not in the mood to continue fighting with you. Moreover, I think that you don't have the qualifications to fight with me right now."
"Bastard! Don't underestimate… Ah!"Bunduk clenched his fists and shouted angrily. In his eyes, just this hand-to-hand combat was enough to deal with the attack from pick. However, before he could finish his sentence, he felt a tearing pain on his knees. He fell to the ground instantly.
"I don't like fighting. The reason why I fought with you a few rounds before was because I wanted to let the children of 'Yin Chi'grow up quickly in your body."A strange smile appeared on the corner of Pick's mouth, he continued, "Now it seems that they have grown up quite well."
"Damn it!"Bunduk's lower limbs were completely paralyzed. At that time, the larvae were invading his bone marrow and brought about the effect.
"You feel very painful now, right?"Pick squatted in front of Bunduk, he pretended to be innocent and said, "It doesn't matter. It Won't hurt in a few days because they will invade your brain and occupy your nerves. They will replace you and become 'you'."
"What is your purpose?"Bunduk gritted his teeth and asked.
"My purpose is to use you to exchange for the members of our organization."Pick met Bunduk's eyes, he said seriously, "But I think it's a good plan for you, who let your consciousness be controlled, to stir up trouble in the Gnome Country and your… Caradia. What do you think?"
"Ptui, you can't succeed in any of these things."Bunduk said angrily, "Even if I die, I won't let you use me to attack Caradia."
"HMPH."Pick snorted disdainfully, "Your life is in my hands. Whether you live or Die is up to me."
After saying this, pick stood up and walked out of the door. What he was most concerned about right now was SIPA's safety. After locking the door, he quickly walked to the lobby downstairs and hid behind the door to observe the movements on the street.
Kant and Abel had already left the place, and no one knew where they had gone. After the Gnome soldier settled everything and left the scene, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.
As pick sized up the pedestrians on the road, he carefully walked to the entrance of the Guild and called out in a low voice, "Sipa, Sipa, where are you?"
"Hiss –"a familiar cry came from the stairway leading to the guild entrance.
Pick immediately walked over and crawled on the ground, searching for Sipa's figure. Finally, he stopped in front of a hidden hole. Sipa was hiding there timidly.
"Sipa, I'm here to pick you up,"pick said happily. "Let's go back."
Pick extended his hand to sippa, and a wave of spiritual power flowed from his fingertips into the top of Sippa's head. SIPPA seemed to have been healed. She walked out of the cave naturally, slowly walking to pick's shoulder and disappearing into the air.
Pick exhaled in relief. He stood up straight and patted the dust off his body.
"Fortunately, I didn't lose it this time,"pick whispered.
"Pick!"At this time, a rough voice reached pick's ears. It made his heart tighten.
"Monty."Pick had a stiff smile on his face. He raised his hand and greeted the approaching orcs.
"What are you doing here?"Monty walked to pick, patted his shoulder and asked, "I was standing on the street in the West City just now, and I could feel the movements of your treasures. Are You in trouble?"
"Yes…"pick curled his lips and said, "Yes, I met someone who tried to pick a fight with me before, and I wanted to teach him a lesson. I didn't expect the action to be so big."
"It's a small matter."After hearing pick's explanation, Monty waved his hand casually, he smiled and said, "I can only say that that person's luck is not that good. I'll go and tell them that the people from the supervision center will settle it for you."
"Thank you very much."Pick nodded.
"No need."Just as pick was about to take his leave, Monty stopped him and asked, "By the way, how are the few people I arranged for you to monitor now?"
"How are they…"pick frowned and thought for a while before saying, "It's not that bad. They seem to have handed over the investigation task to the king of the Gnome Kingdom. Now, they are strolling around all day."
"I see."Monty rubbed his head and said, "Then it's really boring. You can observe for a few more days. If they don't make any movements in the investigation, the surveillance task can be canceled."
"But…"pick said hesitantly.
"Don't worry. Lord 'king'only told us to pay attention to this group of outsiders."Monty said, "They won't be able to stir up any waves."
"Alright then,"pick agreed. "Then I'll continue to observe and see."
"Alright."Monty nodded and said, "I just came to say hello to you. I still have to go back and drink with my friends. Goodbye."
"Okay."Pick bowed slightly.
After seeing Monty turn around and leave, Pick also walked back to his living quarters.
Walking up to the second floor, pick stood quietly outside the door for a while. There was no movement from inside the room. This made him frown.
After gently removing the door lock, a strong impact knocked pick seven to eight meters away. He fell on the edge of the wall.
Pick held his dizzy head and looked forward. He saw Bunduk, who was dragging his legs, appear in his name.
"How did you rush out?"Pick looked at Bunduk as if he was sizing up a monster and asked curiously.
"Humph."Bunduk raised his head and looked down at pick. "I said, even if I die, I won't let myself be controlled by a villain like you."
"Hehe."Pick laughed. "Do you think you can stop the spread of insect eggs by sealing your own meridians?"
"At least now, the effect is not bad."The corner of Bunduk's mouth curled up into a smile. He said confidently, "Although I don't know how much time this can delay, it should be enough to use this small gap to defeat you."
Pick's gaze instantly turned cold. He patted the dust on his body, stood up, and said to bunduk, "Try it."
Chapter 819: the second round of battle
He didn't say anything else. Bunduk raised his fist and smashed it towards Pick's face.
"Too slow."Pick evaded Bunduk's attack and waved at Bunduk.
Bunduk couldn't keep up with pick in time because his lower limbs couldn't move properly. He could only use his body to block pick's punches and kicks and find an opportunity to counterattack.
After more than ten rounds, Bunduk's face was already covered in wounds. However, against Bunduk's huge size, in the narrow space of the stairway, Pick's extreme dodging wasn't a coincidence. Even though he had always wanted to change the battlefield, Bunduk still stood in place, unmoving like a mountain. Even if pick had deliberately revealed his weakness and was beaten to the ground by him, Bunduk would not follow up with a follow-up attack. Following him, he changed his position.
At this time, Bunduk's battle-hardened physique came into play. The injuries on his body did not become a burden. On the contrary, the intense battle made him even more excited. As time passed, more and more flaws were exposed by pick in the battle.
Unknowingly, Bunduk gradually gained the upper hand.
"You…"pick panted as he squatted in the corner and stared at Bunduk.
At the beginning of the battle, he summoned the energy of the predator that he kept in his body and grafted it onto his body, allowing him to successfully dodge a heavy punch from Bunduk.
However, now that things had come to this, there was not much spiritual power left in pick, and he could no longer maintain his predator form.
"What's Wrong?"Bunduk dragged his legs and slowly walked in front of pick. He said to him with a mocking expression, "Is that all you have? I haven't even started to use my full strength."
"I… Admit defeat."Pick raised his hand and surrendered. After seeing Bunduk approach, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he used the silver blade hidden in his sleeves.
"Don't play tricks on me."Bunduk grabbed pick's wrist and warned him in an evil voice.
"You… Let Go of me."Pick's face became distorted because of the pain from his wrist. He shouted.
"Where is the antidote to the insect worm you gave me?"Bunduk stared at pick and asked.
"There is no antidote, let go of me!"Pick struggled.
"HMPH!"Bunduk loosened his grip, pick held his right wrist and groveled on the ground, wailing. Raising his head, he saw Bunduk take out a small knife and asked in fear: "What are you doing?"
"Since you are not willing to speak, I can only force you to speak."Bunduk glanced at pick and raised the knife, cutting a small cut on his upper leg.
Pick saw this scene and widened his eyes. "You lunatic, what are you going to do?"
"Cut the crap!"Bunduk stared at his wound for a while. When he saw a squirming larva, he quickly pulled it out of his body with his fingertips.
The larva of 'Yin chi'was milky white. When it moved between Bunduk's palms, it was still twisting left and right.
Bunduk looked at pick, who was cowering in the corner, and asked coldly, "I'll ask you one last time. where is the antidote?"
"I… I… I'll give you the antidote."Pick's pupils trembled violently. After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he told Bunduk.
"Now, give it to me."Bunduk waved his hand.
Pick staggered back to his room and rummaged through the cabinets to find a bottle of red medicinal liquid. He handed it to Bunduk shakily.
Bunduk held the bottle in his hand and sized it up repeatedly. He raised his head and said to pick, "You're not lying to me, are you?"
"No… No,"pick replied nervously.
Bunduk thought for a moment, opened the bottle cap, and poured the medicinal liquid in the bottle onto the larva in his hand.
After seeing the larva's corpse vaporize, Bunduk raised his eyebrows and drank the rest of the medicinal liquid in one gulp.
After a short while, the lower limbs of his body regained consciousness. Some sticky secretions came out of his pores and carried a slight stench.
Bunduk nodded in satisfaction and said to pick, "You told me your real name, right?"
"Yes,"pick replied.
"Okay."Bunduk took out his handkerchief to stop the bleeding wound and nodded. "Then we'll meet again next time."
"You…"pick widened his eyes in surprise and asked Bunduk, "Aren't you going to kill me?"
"No."Bunduk shook his head and said, "This time, it's my surprise attack on you, and you underestimated the enemy. That's why I defeated you. If I kill you now, I Won't look down on myself."
After hearing Bunduk's words, pick was so surprised that he couldn't speak.
However, Bunduk did not expect his response. After resting for a while, he lifted his leg and left the room.
The snake-woman guild downstairs had not opened its doors yet, but the long line had already extinguished Bunduk's hope of waiting in line.
"Where are His Majesty and the others now?"Bunduk tried hard to recall for a while, but he could not come up with any results. He looked at his torn clothes. Bunduk walked to the hotel where he stayed last night helplessly.
Just as he walked into the lobby, the boss immediately came up to him and asked, "Lord Bunduk, why are you back?"
"What's Wrong?"Bunduk sat down on a bench at the side and ordered the boss, "Can you please help me get some ointment for my wounds? My body is bruised and bruised, it's always too eye-catching."
"Yes, yes, yes."The boss quickly agreed. Then, he called the waiter who was cleaning the table and asked him to bring the medical box over.
"I heard that you were targeted by the Beast Tamer who likes to find trouble around here. Did he hurt you?"The boss asked carefully.
"Yes."Bunduk frowned and replied. He was slightly surprised that the news had spread so fast.
"AH, the medicine is here."The inn owner instructed the waiter to put down the medicine box and said to bunduk, "Lord, I'll go and get someone to apply the medicine for you."
"No need."Bunduk waved his hand indifferently, picked up the medicine box on the table, and walked to the stairs leading to the second floor. He said, "I can apply the medicine for myself. Just remember to send someone to get this box."
"Yes,"the inn owner answered respectfully.
"Oh, right."With a glimmer of hope, Bunduk turned around and asked the owner who was standing in the open space, "Do you know where the two people who settled down with me went?"
"You are talking about Lord Kant and Lord Abel."The inn owner thought for a moment and said, "According to the waiter who rushed back from the street, they seem to have gone to the teleportation base on the main street. They are probably going up the mountain."
"Going up the mountain?"Bunduk's expression immediately became conflicted.
Chapter 820: A Vigilante in financial distress
Bunduk dragged his heavy steps back to the room.
He ran out of the inn's entrance on a spur of the moment. When he found that he was penniless, he returned dejectedly.
"Lord Bunduk, What's Wrong?"The boss at the counter asked curiously when he saw Bunduk's appearance.
"… nothing."Bunduk glanced at the boss, and his mood plummeted.
From the looks of it, King Kant and Abel should have gone up the mountain to seek help from the Gnome tribe and the Gnome tribe. But they didn't know that they had escaped from pick's hands.
The cost of using the teleportation formation was extremely high. Before Kant and Abel went down the mountain, he could only stay in this small town and do something for them.
"Boss, do you have a messenger to go up the mountain?"Abel asked, unwilling to give up.
"Yes, but the time when the person receiving the letter comes to town is not fixed."The inn owner thought for a while, he replied, "Lord Bunduk, do you need to send a letter up the mountain? If the messenger comes to town, I will send someone to inform you."
"Thank you."Bunduk nodded. "Then, may I know the cost of sending a letter up the mountain?"
When he asked this question, Bunduk lowered his head in shame. Once again, he made up his mind. I must keep a portion of the money in my own hands in the future. I Can't give it all to Abel anymore.
"I remember that the price of a letter seems to be three silver coins. After all, the messenger also goes up the mountain by the teleportation formation,"the inn owner said. "He can't earn much money by going back and forth."
"OH."Bunduk touched the shriveled money bag and nodded. "Thank you."
"No need."The owner shook his head with a smile. Then, he continued to bury his head in the account book.
Bunduk silently left in front of the account desk.
"This Beast Tamer is quite heavy-handed."Bunduk endured the pain and applied the ointment on himself while recalling the figure of pick who was running around in the stairway.
"Knock, Knock, Knock!"After applying the ointment on himself in front of the mirror, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"Bunduk asked in confusion. After putting on his coat, he immediately walked to the door and opened it.
"Lord… Lord Bunduk, Hello."After seeing Bunduk Open the door, a waiter holding a tray greeted him, he stammered, "The shop has prepared some light meals for you. Most of them are helpful in promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. I hope you can accept them."
"Huh?"Bunduk looked at the dishes on the plate, swallowed his saliva, and asked, "These… do you need money?"
"Ah?"The waiter said curiously, "No, no, no, you don't need to pay. These are all given to you by our store."
"Oh, that's good. Bring them in."After bunduk calmed down, he called out to the waiter.
Now he had to save up to send a letter to His Majesty Kant. He couldn't afford to eat any side meals that could nourish his body.
"Then I'll take my leave first. Enjoy your meal."After placing the exquisite dishes on the table, the waiter retreated to the door and said goodbye to Bunduk.
"Well, thank you."Bunduk nodded and replied.
The waiter gently closed the door and walked down the stairs. On the way back to the kitchen, he met the inn's owner.
"Hello, Boss."The waiter said respectfully.
"How is it? Did Lord Bunduk accept the food you sent?"The inn owner asked nervously.
"Yes,"the waiter replied.
"That's good."The owner nodded happily and said, "Lord Bunduk helped us to get rid of the big villain, Pick. Just based on this, you should take good care of him."
"You're right, Boss,"the waiter echoed.
Bunduk sat down at the dining table and began to eat the first meal of the day.
The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and the streets were full of nomads looking for a place to eat. Unknowingly, the hour hand had already pointed to the meal time.
After a full meal, Bunduk leaned against the window and looked at the people coming and going. His expression could not help but become melancholic.
"It seems that I'm still not suitable to be alone…"Bunduk muttered softly.
He didn't know if Kant and Bunduk had already reached the peak of the mountain, if they had seen the dwarf clan chief or the king of the Gnome Kingdom.
If only he could follow them up the mountain to find them.
Within the Gnome Kingdom's palace, Kant and Abel sat in their guest rooms for a long time.
Just as the two of them were about to fall asleep, a gnome waiter brought them dinner in a dining cart, he said to them, "My two guests, your highness Gilbert encountered a rainstorm on his way back. He probably won't be able to return to the country until noon tomorrow. "You don't have to sit here and wait. "Let's have some dinner first."
"Did you encounter a rainstorm?"Kant took a deep breath and said, "Thank you. We will eat dinner."
"Okay."The gnome waiter glanced at the Silent Bunduk, bowed slightly, and left the room.
Abel walked to the dining cart and quietly placed the dishes on the table one by one. Then he sat down beside Kant and said, "Your Majesty, Eat Something First."
Kant held his forehead and glanced at the dinner on the table. He sighed and said, "Well, let's eat."
The room was so quiet that only the sound of silver knives and forks colliding with the dishes could be heard.
It didn't take long for them to eat. After all, neither of them had much appetite. The waiter who came to clean up the dishes saw most of the remaining dishes on the plate. He didn't disturb their quiet time. He silently pushed the dining cart and walked out.
"Gilbert won't be able to get there tonight,"Kant said.
"Bunduk, he…"Abel said worriedly.
"It's fine. I trust Bunduk,"Kant said, shaking his head.
The air in the room became quiet again, and the rain spread from the horizon to the foot of the mountain. The mountain peak was still in the sultry environment before the storm.
Kant and Bunduk's uneasiness became restless again.
Abel got up and opened the window, allowing the strong wind to rush in.
"It's too stuffy to stay indoors. Let's go out for a walk,"Kant suggested.
"Okay,"Abel agreed. Then the two opened the door and walked out of their room. They strolled around the spacious palace.
Raindrops were already falling from the sky, hitting the colorful glass bed.
Abel watched as the rain became heavier and heavier, shielding Kant as he returned from the open space to the eaves. He asked with concern, "Your Highness, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, thanks to you."Kant shook his head in a relaxed manner and said, "I didn't even get wet."
"That's good."Abel exhaled and said.

Chapter 821: It rained the whole night
Abel's body was already half wet. When he walked back to the guest room, he left deep and shallow water marks on the road he passed.
"Hurry up and take a shower. It Won't be good if you catch a cold,"Kant said to Abel after he walked through the door.
"Yes."Abel nodded.
They had come in a hurry and didn't have time to return to the hotel to pack their bags. They arrived at the top of the mountain empty-handed. There were no dry clothes to replace.
Fortunately, Abel was an elf who was good at water-type spells. The rainwater that had seeped into his coat was instantly drained after he cast the spell.
Kant watched from the side, and could not help but reveal a curious expression.
"I'm going to take a bath,"Abel said to Kant.
"Okay,"Kant replied, waving his hand. Then, he returned to his bedroom, took off his coat, and lay down on the bed.
The GNOME soldier arranged for them a room suitable for humans to live in, and the size of the bed was more or less in line with Kant's body size.
The rain outside the window seemed to have no intention of stopping. Kant quietly recalled everything that had happened in the past few days. In the slightly noisy rain, he unknowingly fell asleep.
Abel roughly took a bath in the steaming hot bathroom. He put on his close-fitting clothes and walked from the bathroom to the main hall.
Kant did not appear in front of him. Abel raised his head and glanced in the direction of Kant's bedroom. After seeing the tightly shut door, he felt at ease and found a chair to sit on.
His originally tired mind power was buffered for a while during the Bath. Abel did not seem to be that tired anymore.
The window in the main hall was still open. It seemed that after they left, the GNOME attendant did not come again.
The damp cold wind blew on Abel's face. He looked at the dark night sky and thought of the moment when he saw Raphael's cold and pale face on the shore under the same dark night sky.
A feeling of powerlessness spread through his chest. Abel let out a long sigh.
"Bunduk, you must be safe,"Abel muttered in a low voice.
In the small town at the foot of the mountain, the majestic rain converged into ponds of various sizes on the low-lying road. The streets were already empty.
Three hours ago, after receiving the weather warning, the residents immediately rushed out of the building and retrieved the quilts that were hanging on both sides of the street.
The inn's owner was also instructing his staff to go to the top floor of the house to take back all kinds of food and place them in a dry place.
As a result, the guests'meal time was delayed a little.
Hearing the footsteps outside the door, Bunduk stood up from the tea table and looked out of the window at the sky.
When he saw the dark clouds that appeared in the horizon, he frowned slightly and said softly, "His Majesty and Abel didn't even bring their bags. They won't run into any trouble, right?"
"Knock, Knock, Knock!"A knock sounded at this moment.
Bunduk walked skillfully to the door and opened it. Sure enough, it was the bellhop from the inn.
"Lord Bunduk, I'm sorry. The shop is busy preparing for the rain. We can't work in the kitchen."The waiter bowed to Bunduk, "I'm here to inform you that dinner may be delayed by half an hour or so,"he said
"Oh, it's okay."Bunduk shook his head indifferently and replied simply.
He didn't plan to have dinner at first, and in his eyes, such a notice was really not important. No one would need to eat dinner on time, right.
"Well, as compensation, we will add a dessert to the menu of each guest."The waiter handed over a familiar menu, he explained to bunduk, "After the internal affairs of the inn are settled, I will immediately pass the menu you made a remark to the chef."
Bunduk scratched his head and said, "It doesn't matter. I Don't plan to have dinner tonight."
"Huh? Why?"The waiter asked curiously.
"It's quite embarrassing to say this: I don't have much money on me. The money is all with my friend."Bunduk laughed and said, "I can't just dine and dash here, can I?"
"Lord Bunduk is a special customer of our inn. The boss has already told us that all meals and accommodation are free. You Don't have to worry about this."After hearing the reason, the waiter raised his head and explained.
"Special customer?"Bunduk was puzzled.
"That's indeed the case."The waiter nodded with a smile and said, "From the Moment You defeated the Beast Tamer This Morning, Lord Bunduk, you were a VIP that all the inn and restaurants on this street had to bow to. "It is our honor that you have chosen to stay with us."
Bunduk widened his eyes and looked at the waiter in front of him in disbelief.
After a while, he said hesitantly, "You mean, if I win against pick, I can eat in the restaurant without spending money?"
"Yes."The waiter nodded. "Usually, pick bullied everyone. He did whatever he wanted because he had some connections with the people in the inspection hall and no one could beat him. Now that he finally left this street, everyone was overjoyed. The boss of our shop is the same."
"I see."Bunduk held his forehead and said, "I didn't think that defeating pick would have such an effect. Wait, you said he left?"
"Yes.". It seemed that just a few hours ago. Someone saw him leave with his bags,"the waiter said. "And his living quarters have been smashed into pieces by him. He probably won't come back."
"Do you know where he went?"Bunduk continued to ask.
"I don't know."The waiter thought for a while and shook his head.
"Alright."Bunduk stood where he was and pondered.
The waiter saw Bunduk immersed in his thoughts. After handing the menu to him, he took his leave.
Bunduk took a thick menu and returned to the main hall of the room and sat down.
He looked at the dishes casually. His mind was filled with thoughts about the possibility of pick leaving.
"Where will he go?"Bunduk held his chin and asked in puzzlement.
Although he had seized the opportunity today to make a comeback in the battle with pick. But in Bunduk's heart, he wanted to have a fair and square fight with pick. Right now, he didn't know where his opponent had gone to, and the anxious atmosphere once again enveloped Bunduk.
"Forget about him."Bunduk shook his head and said. Then, he focused on ordering the dishes.
Although he had suffered a lot today, with such a reward as compensation, Bunduk's mood became much clearer.
Bean-sized raindrops fell on the inn's window, and Bunduk heard a clamor coming from the lobby on the first floor.
Chapter 822: Determination to investigate alone
On the morning of the second day, Gilbert returned to the GNOME country a little earlier than expected. After hearing the news of Kant and Abel's arrival from the soldier guarding the city, he immediately rushed to the palace.
On the other side, Kant and Abel had already eaten breakfast and were waiting for Gilbert to appear outside the door of the meeting hall.
"My Lords, Your Highness Gilbert has already arrived at the city gate and is currently on his way back to the palace."A gnome attendant went around the garden and rushed to Kant and Abel in a hurry, bowing and reporting.
"Yes, we understand. Thank you."Abel helped the attendant up and said to him.
"Please take a seat in the hall, my lords. In case your highness Gilbert comes and blames us for not treating you well."The attendant led the way to Kant and Abel.
Kant and Abel looked at each other and nodded in response. "Very well. Thank you, Your Highness."
"No, no."The waiter lowered his head and said.
The waiter took a step forward and led the two of them to the guest seats in the hall.
"Your Highness, please take a rest. Your Highness Gilbert will come and meet with you later."After saying this, the waiter took his leave politely.
Kant picked up the Teacup on the wooden table and took a sip.
After a while, Gilbert walked to the door of the palace, looking travel-worn.
"Abel! And Your Highness Kant, why did you come to the mountain?"Gilbert took off the brocade robe he was wearing and walked to his seat. He gestured for the two people to sit down and asked.
"Your Highness Gilbert, we heard that you went to the snake-woman kingdom,"Kant said.
"Yes, I went to the snake-woman kingdom to investigate the sinking of the ship,"Gilbert replied. "You came to me for this matter?"
"More or less,"Abel explained. "Yesterday, after you took the snake-woman named Kala away, the members of the dark forces in the town kidnapped Bunduk. "Now, we have completely lost contact with Bunduk."
"What?"Gilbert's eyes widened. He put down the Teacup in his hand and said, "They actually dared to kidnap Bunduk?"
"We Met a beast tamer at the entrance of the guild, and he took the initiative to talk to us,"Abel said. "He said that there was a limited number of slots in the 'Latata'guild, and they needed to line up. "So we left Bunduk to line up with him. We didn't expect him to be a member of the dark side. After we left, he attacked Bunduk."
"I see,"Gilbert muttered. "They must have some special purpose for kidnapping Bunduk at this time. Have you received any news from them so far?"
"Not yet."Kant shook his head and said, "However, we believe that the Dark Side's purpose for this operation is to exchange hostages with us. They want to use Bunduk to exchange for KLA."
"Kla?"Gilbert's expression immediately turned ugly when he heard Kant's name.
"Oh right, that snake-woman should have followed you back to the main city of the Gnome, right?"Bunduk asked.
"No, she hanged herself. "On the way back,"Gilbert explained in a heavy tone, "That snake-woman has a high position in her tribe. "She refused to admit that she was a member of the dark side. "The elders of the snake-woman tribe seem to trust her. "I finally obtained the permission to take her out of the estate. "Now that something has happened to her, I can't explain it to the lord of the snake-woman tribe."
After listening to Abel's statement, Abel and Kant swallowed the words they wanted to say.
"Gilbert, what do you plan to do next?"Abel asked cautiously.
"We don't know yet."Gilbert drank a mouthful of tea and replied, "It's necessary to personally come and apologize. I just hope that the snake-woman tribe will have a barrier with us because of this matter."
"Has the news of the snake-woman hanging herself spread to the town?"Kant asked.
"I don't think so."Gilbert shook his head, "I don't think the news will spread to the world so quickly. After all, I only sent people to inform the snake-woman clan's leader about this matter. Bunduk should still be safe for now."
"I've already mobilized a batch of soldier and rushed to the small island,"Kant said. "I hope that when the situation isn't so bad, I can lend a hand to the forces on the surface."
"I'm also very surprised that the fight on the island will involve the forces outside the island."Gilbert nodded. "I'll immediately send people down the mountain to inform the soldier at the foot of the mountain and conduct a search of the town. "I hope that I can confirm that Bunduk is safe in the hands of the dark forces by today."
"Thank you."Kant and Abel bowed their heads slightly and thanked him.
"It's nothing."Gilbert waved his hand and said.
After chatting about official business, Gilbert sat on his throne, looking very tired.
"Your Highness, did you stay up all night to rush back to the city?"Kant glanced at Gilbert and advised, "Why don't you go back to the sleeping palace to rest first. The two of us will take our leave first."
"Alright then."Gilbert nodded. "As soon as the soldier at the foot of the mountain has news, I will inform you."
"Yes."Kant left his seat, bowed slightly, and left with Bunduk.
The two left the hall and returned to their living quarters.
Before the soldier at the foot of the mountain sent the news, it was impossible for them to leave the Gnome Kingdom.
"If Kala is dead, our clues will be cut off,"Abel said to Kant.
"I have a feeling that Gilbert must have gotten some definite information from the snake woman tribe, but he is just unwilling to tell us."Kant held his forehead and said, "It is really strange for a high-level figure of the dark side organization to suddenly choose to hang himself while being brought back to the volcano by the Gnome Kingdom for interrogation."
After hearing Kant's speculation, Abel's face showed a surprised expression. After taking a seat beside Kant, he asked him, "Your Highness, can you guess what kind of Information Gilbert is hiding?"
"This, for the time being, I don't know. It's just a strong premonition in my heart."Kant thought for a moment and replied.
"I believe what your Highness said."Abel nodded slightly and said, "I also feel that what Gilbert said to us after he returned to the city is a bit strange."
"Even if it's true, Gilbert didn't choose to tell us the clues. We can only keep to ourselves and stay where we are,"Kant said with a sigh.
"Gilbert and I have some friendship. Why don't I ask him directly and see what he has to say?"Abel thought for a while and suggested.
Chapter 823: Portraits everywhere
Kant nodded slightly and agreed. "This matter is indeed more suitable for you to handle. However, when you ask him, he still chooses to keep his mouth shut. Remember not to force him."
"Yes."Abel nodded.
In the small town at the foot of the volcano, the streets and alleys were covered with pictures of Bunduk after one afternoon.
After having a free lunch at a restaurant at the corner of the street, Bunduk returned to the inn where he was staying.
He found that there was an unfamiliar picture stuck on the door of the inn, so he squeezed into the crowd to take a closer look.
"Bunduk?"The toothpick in Bunduk's mouth fell on the bluestone brick, and he said in surprise, "Why is my name on the Wanted Poster?"
On this wanted poster, Bunduk was described as a heinous bandit. At the end of the wanted poster, it was clearly written: "The Nomads who help capture this wanted criminal will be rewarded with ten gold coins.".
This could be considered a huge sum of money. Bunduk covered his face with his hand and escaped from the crowd. He walked into the inn and glanced at the guests who were resting in the lobby. He quickened his pace and rushed to the second floor. However, he was stopped by the inn's owner on the way.
"Lord Bunduk!"The inn's owner called out happily.
"What… What's the matter?"Bunduk froze and asked guiltily.
"The GNOME Soldier is waiting for you in the room upstairs. I've been looking for you everywhere,"the inn owner said with a smile.
Bunduk stared at the inn owner with a puzzled look for a while and said, "I know they're looking for me, but it's… not convenient for me now…"
"Do you have something urgent?"The inn owner asked curiously, "These Lord soldiers came to pick you up."
"… is that so?"Bunduk smiled awkwardly.
"Come with me quickly. The Lord soldiers are eating snacks upstairs and waiting for you."The inn owner greeted with a smile.
"No, no, no."Bunduk rejected the inn owner's invitation and explained, "I want to go back to my bedroom first."
"It's okay. I have already asked the staff to pack your bags."The inn owner was stunned, after thinking for a while, he smiled and explained, "When you have finished talking with the soldiers, Lord, your bags will be brought to you by the staff. We will go up the mountain with you."
"Go up the mountain?"Bunduk recalled the inn owner's words and asked in surprise.
"That's right. weren't these gnome soldier sent by Lord Kant and Lord Abel to bring you up the mountain?"The inn's owner said, "The gnome country's noble palace is much more comfortable than our lousy inn."
After listening to the explanation, Bunduk took a deep breath and relaxed. He softly read, "So Your Highness Kant and the others went to the Gnome Country."
"Lord Bunduk, what are you mumbling about?"The inn owner looked at Bunduk and asked.
"Nothing."Bunduk smiled, waved his hand and said, "There are wanted notices about me everywhere on the street. I thought that these gnome soldier had some misunderstanding and came to arrest me."
"How could it be? This kind of search method is quite common in this small town."The inn owner shook his head, he said, "I heard from the Gnome Lords who came to pick you up that Lord Kant and Lord Abel thought that you were taken away by the Beast Tamer who used to live at the corner of the street. "So I asked Your Highness Gilbert to help me search for you in the city. "When they came to interrogate me this morning, I was also shocked."
"I see."Bunduk sighed in his heart. Fortunately, it was just a misunderstanding. Ever since they came to this small island, Caradia's group had been plagued with disasters. Bunduk was constantly worried that he would be ambushed by the dark forces.
"Yes. Now that the explanation is clear, Lord Bunduk can rest assured and follow me to meet the Gnome Lords, right?"The inn owner asked.
"Of course."Bunduk followed the inn owner's footsteps and walked up to the second floor. He stopped in front of the door of a room on the left.
"Lord Bunduk, please come in."The inn's owner stood in front of Bunduk, opened the door and turned back to call him.
"Yes."Bunduk walked into the room and saw six gnome soldier sitting around the dining table. One of the GNOME soldier was stunned when he saw Bunduk's face, he immediately stood up and greeted, "Hello, Lord Bunduk from Caradia. "We are the GNOME soldier who is in charge of patrolling in the city. Lord Gilbert has ordered us to find you in the small town and bring you back to the GNOME Country."
"Hello,"Bunduk replied politely. "I saw the wanted notice downstairs. I didn't expect that it was Gilbert who sent you to find me."
"I heard from the nomads on this street that you eliminated the local Demon Beast Tamer."Another gnome soldier stood up and said to bunduk, "You beat him up and forced him to leave this town."
"Uh,"bunduk explained embarrassedly, "Actually, I don't really know the reason why he ran away…"
"Lord Bunduk, you don't have to be modest. The battle between you and Beast Tamer Pick can be considered to have brought benefits to the GNOME soldier who maintains public order."A gnome soldier said, "In the past, the streets around here were always disturbed by that kid."
"Alright. Then I have done a good deed."Bunduk took a deep breath and said with a smile.
"Yes."The GNOME soldier nodded.
"Lord Bunduk, your luggage has arrived."A familiar-looking attendant knocked on the door and said as he carried his bags into the room.
"Thank you."Bunduk nodded.
"Then I will take my leave first."The attendant looked at the Gnome soldier and bowed.
Bunduk did not continue the conversation with the Gnome Soldier, he said, "I heard that you are here to bring me up the mountain. Actually, a few days ago, I heard that your Highness Kant and Abel climbed up the teleportation formation and climbed up the mountain. I also wanted to go up the mountain to look for them. However, I was short of money…"
"Lord Bunduk, you don't have to worry about this."A gnome soldier shook his head and said, "The problem you mentioned, we will naturally solve it for you. "We have been supervising the teleportation formation for the past two years. With US escorting you up the mountain, you don't have to pay any fees."
"Then, thank you very much."Bunduk thanked them gratefully. However, his expression quickly darkened again. He said to the GNOME soldier with a troubled expression, "Then, I have another request…"
"What?"The GNOME soldier asked curiously.
"Can you or the other patrolling soldiers remove the arrest warrant posted on the streets and alleys?"Bunduk said hesitantly, "After all, the portrait and I don't have much in common. I also don't want everyone to misunderstand."
Chapter 824: Longing for reunion after a long separation
"I see."The gnome soldier nodded in realization, "We will do this for you. Please don't worry, Lord Bunduk."
"Thank you, thank you."Bunduk held the hand of one of the GNOME soldier and said sincerely.
"However, the most important task now is to escort Lord Bunduk to the Gnome Kingdom."A gnome soldier who looked like a leader stood out, he said to bunduk, "Let's not delay. Let's set off immediately. Don't Let Your Highness Kant and Gilbert wait for too long."
"Alright."Bunduk nodded. Then, he picked up his own bags with one hand and set off with the soldier and his group.
A carriage had already been parked at the entrance of the inn. The person sitting on the carriage driver's seat was also a GNOME soldier in armor.
"Lord Bunduk, please get on the carriage,"a GNOME soldier instructed.
"Okay."Bunduk obediently stepped on the ladder that the carriage driver had built for him and walked into the carriage.
Six gnome soldier separated into two lines and stood on both sides of the carriage. When the carriage started moving, they also followed the carriage and ran quickly on the street.
Bunduk held the bags in his arms and looked out of the carriage window. He discovered that every GNOME Soldier's tutorial was extremely fast. They were practically walking close to the carriage, and they looked very relaxed.
"They're really amazing."Bunduk sighed.
Thinking back to that day, Pick's lively movements were completely different from the Gnome Soldier's appearance.
Thinking of this, Bunduk shouted at the GNOME soldier outside the carriage window, "Warrior, do you know where the Beast Tamer went?"
"I heard that he left the town. As for where exactly he went, we still don't know."The Gnome soldier turned his head and replied.
"Okay, thank you."Bunduk nodded and said.
"It's okay."
Bunduk put down the curtain covering the window and thought to himself, 'this kid actually left the small town. He really escaped too far.'. 'It seems that I won't see him while I stay on the small island.'.
The carriage drove for half an hour and arrived at the base where the teleportation formation was set up.
It was the first time that Bunduk had ridden on this thing, and his face was filled with curiosity. After teleporting up the mountain in the blink of an eye.., he said in surprise, "This is really good stuff. I wonder if I can apply to His Majesty Kant to build one in Caradia. This way, Derrick's return to Drondheim will be more convenient."
"Hehe."A soldier looked at the change in Bunduk's expression and said with a smile, "The humans shouldn't store large amounts of magic stones, right? That's the foundation for building a teleportation formation."
"Are magic stones hard to find?"Bunduk heard an unfamiliar term and asked curiously.
The GNOME soldier waved his hand in panic, he said, "As long as your country is willing, it shouldn't be hard to find. It's just that this teleportation formation not only needs a large number of magic stones, but when activating the formation, it also needs the support of a mage with a certain level of cultivation."
After hearing this, Bunduk recalled the old mage that he had seen at the base of the mountain. Although Bunduk did not know spell, when he got close to the mage, he could still feel the influence of the powerful mind power of the other party on him.
"It seems that the construction of the teleportation formation is indeed very difficult,"said Bunduk as he nodded gently.
The group walked along the mountain road that was opened up. After an hour of trekking, they finally arrived at the city gate of the GNOME.
Looking at the towering city tower, Bunduk said, "I didn't expect the Gnome's estate to be like this."
"We don't have the divine skills of the Midget clan. We can only build buildings that imitate the human style,"a GNOME soldier answered casually.
"It looks pretty good,"Bunduk said softly. "By the way, Does Your Highness Kant and the others know that you are going to bring back news about me?"
"No,"the GNOME soldier covered up his embarrassment and answered, "Only the soldier at the foot of the mountain knows that we have found Lord Bunduk."
"That's good,"Bunduk said indifferently. "In case the dark forces come to us."
"If those people dare to come to the city gate of the Gnome Kingdom and make a ruckus, then they won't be able to get away with it,"a GNOME soldier said fiercely.
"Hehe."Bunduk laughed softly and didn't comment.
When the soldier at the city gate saw Bunduk, he immediately opened the city gate and sent someone to the palace to report the news.
Bunduk sat in the carriage prepared by the soldier and rushed to the palace without any delay.
Thinking of seeing Kant and Abel soon, Bunduk could not help but look out of the window from time to time. He hoped to arrive at his destination earlier.
"Phew…"the GNOME soldier stopped the carriage and said to Bunduk who was in the carriage, "Lord, we have arrived at the palace."
"Okay."Bunduk nodded. He took his bags and got off the carriage.
Kant and Abel stood outside the palace gate early in the morning, waiting for Bunduk's arrival. When they heard that Bunduk had arrived outside the city gate, both of them had an incredulous look on their faces, but then they were very happy.
At this moment, when they saw Bunduk get off the carriage, they excitedly walked forward and hugged him.
Bunduk was caught off guard by their hug. He staggered and put down the luggage bag in his hand.
"Bunduk, I thought you were tortured by the dark forces."Abel was the first to let go, Patting Bunduk's shoulder.
"I'm fine. "I'm very well now."Bunduk explained with a smile: "That kid named pick put a worm worm on my body, but I didn't expect that I could seal my veins and escape from his binding. "On the morning when you went up the mountain, I returned to the inn."
"It is good that you are fine."Kant nodded to bunduk: "Did you get rid of that Beast Tamer named pick?"
"No."Bunduk shook his head, saying: "After I forced him to hand over the antidote, I ignored him. He was severely injured by me and seems to have left the town."
"I see."Kant nodded and didn't say anything else.
"You also suffered a lot of injuries, right?"Abel asked with concern. "When we rushed over that day, we heard the bystanders say that the Beast summoned by the Beast Tamer slammed you into the brick wall and you fainted on the spot."
"Yes. The cheetah's body suddenly grew several times larger. The attack from behind was indeed quite difficult to endure."Bunduk recalled the pain at that time and couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
"Did you apply the medicine?"Kant asked.
"Yes. The inn's boss prepared some medicine for me."Bunduk nodded.
"During the battle, did that Beast Tamer talk to you about anything?"Abel's eyes lit up as he asked.

Chapter 825: the three people who came to say goodbye
"No."Bunduk thought for a while, shook his head, and replied, "But from what he said, he seems to be in cahoots with that snake-woman named Kala."
"He didn't tell you. are those people in charge of contacting him?"Abel asked anxiously.
"If that's what you want to ask, he didn't mention this to me."Bunduk supported his head and answered, "However, he tied me up and brought me to his living quarters in the city. "However, due to a small accident, he went downstairs. At that time, I was trying to find a way to stop the spread of the insect worms on my body. "I could only hide behind the window on the second floor and pay attention to his movements. In the end, I discovered that he met with a half-orcs. However, I wasn't able to see clearly what exactly that person looked like."
"Yes."Kant nodded. "This can also be considered as a clue for us to continue investigating."
"Since the matter of Bunduk has already been resolved, then we should hurry down the mountain and start investigating."Abel suggested.
Kant cast a questioning glance at Bunduk, and after seeing him nod his head. He decided, "Let's go and greet Gilbert first. After all, he has helped us a lot. It is against etiquette to leave quietly like this."
"Yes,"Bunduk and Abel agreed.
On the way to the palace, the three of them were quite quiet. However, after seeing the palace door of the Council Palace, Abel suddenly thought of something and said to Kant, "Your Majesty, I haven't talked to Gilbert about the matter we discussed before."
"What is it?"Bunduk asked curiously.
"Nothing."Kant waved his hand at Bunduk, "Let's put that matter aside for now. Last night, I thought about it. Gilbert was conducting an investigation behind our back. Perhaps it was because of his own considerations. Let's not make things difficult for him."
"Alright then."Abel thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Bunduk, who was listening at the side, was confused. With a puzzled expression, he stepped into Gilbert's palace with the two people beside him.
Before they arrived, a soldier reported to Gilbert that Bunduk had arrived at the palace.
Therefore, Gilbert was not very surprised by their resignation.
"Your Highness, Gilbert."Besides Kant, Abel and Bunduk both knelt down on one knee, facing Gilbert's bags on the throne.
"Please Rise."Gilbert nodded with a smile. "I knew that after Bunduk returns to the city, you would be in a hurry to say goodbye to me and prepare to leave. How is it? What are your plans next?"
"Let's return to the town first,"Kant replied. "This matter is not over yet, and we will continue to investigate."
"You don't have any foundation on this small island. It's better to act according to your abilities."Gilbert exhaled, he looked at Kant and said, "But don't worry too much. The nomads of the Gnome race will secretly take care of you. If your Highness Kant has any inconvenience, feel free to ask them for help."
"Yes, Thank You, Your Highness Gilbert."Kant bowed and said, "Then we will take our leave first. Thank you for your hospitality these past few days."
"Mm."Gilbert's gaze finally landed on Bunduk, he said to him, "However, how is the recovery of Commander Bunduk's body? I heard that you had a fierce battle with the members of the dark forces at the foot of the mountain."
"It's alright. The bruises on his body have basically healed. Thank you for Your Highness'concern."Bunduk cupped his fists and said.
"It's good that you have recovered."Gilbert nodded with relief. "Since everyone is in a hurry to travel, I will not continue to delay you. There is a prepared carriage at the palace gate for everyone to take."
"Yes, Your Highness Gilbert, we will meet again in the future."After leaving these words, Kant quietly turned around and left. Bunduk and Abel bowed slightly to Gilbert, followed by Kant and walked out of the palace.
Kant and Abel still had to return to their rooms to pack their bags. Alone, Bunduk walked to the entrance of the palace. When he met the coachman who was waiting for them, he chatted with him while waiting for the other two to arrive.
Not long after, Kant and Abel simply packed their bags and found Bunduk. The three of them boarded the carriage used by Gilbert and rushed to the teleportation point halfway up the mountain.
"Where will this carriage take us?"Bunduk gradually lost his strength. As he endured the bumpy ride of the carriage on the mountain road, he asked with a pale face.
"The stronghold of the teleportation formation."Abel opened his eyes in a daze. The carriage had been traveling for nearly an hour. When they passed the city gate, Abel and Kant could not help but feel sleepy and fell asleep in the carriage.
Although the light in the carriage was relatively dim, Abel still noticed that something was unusual about Bunduk. He immediately placed his hand on his forehead and asked, "Bunduk, how do you feel?"
"I feel a little dizzy and want to vomit."Bunduk took a few deep breaths and continued, "I'm fine. I think I'm just a Little Carsick."
"Since when do you get Carsick?"Abel frowned. "How have you been taking care of yourself recently? How did your body become so weak?"
"I'm really fine."Bunduk shook his head and said.
Seeing that he did not want to explain, Abel could only temporarily not delve into this problem. He moved his seat in the shaking carriage and sat down beside Bunduk, he placed his hand on Bunduk's tightly clenched fist.
After Abel leaned over, Bunduk felt the restlessness in his heart gradually calm down. The suffocation that lingered in his chest also lessened a lot.
"Are you feeling better?"Abel asked.
"Much better. Thank you."Bunduk smiled and said, "Abel, when you are discharged from the army, you can start a clinic. There will definitely be a lot of customers."
"Thank you for your kind words."Abel smiled. He glanced at Bunduk and said, "It will probably take another half an hour to arrive. You should rest for a while. I will wake you up later."
"Okay."After the symptoms of discomfort disappeared, Bunduk's drowsiness also spread throughout his body. Soon, he leaned on Abel's shoulder and fell asleep.
By the time the carriage stopped at the entrance of the teleportation formation, the three of them had already recovered their mind power and got down from the carriage.
"My Lords, I have already informed the Lord Mage who is in charge of running the teleportation formation. "After you enter, you can take the last teleportation formation to the foot of the mountain today."The Coachman walked in front of the three of them, after bowing, he said respectfully.
Chapter 826: conditions for becoming a mage
"Thank you. It's getting late. Please hurry back to the city,"Kant said politely to the coachman.
The gnome coachman smiled and replied, "You're too kind, Lord. I'll take my leave first. I wish you a safe journey."
"Mm. Be careful on your way,"Bunduk reminded.
The three of them watched as the carriage driver drove off. When they saw him disappear at the corner of the Mountain Road, they came back to their senses and turned to walk into the teleportation formation's stronghold.
Logically speaking, at this time, the teleportation formation's stronghold should have been closed long ago. However, Gilbert had specially sent someone to inform the teleportation formation's operator, asking them to delay the closing time today in order to send Bunduk and the others down the mountain.
After walking out of the teleportation formation at the base of the small town at the foot of the mountain, Bunduk looked behind him longingly.
"What are you looking at?"Abel stared at him and asked curiously.
"A mage is really amazing."Bunduk sighed. "I wish I could be a mage in my next life."
Abel laughed softly and said, "Hehe, it's much more difficult to cultivate a spell than to temper one's body. Some people will never be able to break through the first realm in their entire lives. A mage who can control the entire teleportation formation should be an advanced mage."
"Is cultivating a spell very time-consuming?"Bunduk asked in surprise. "I thought all of you knew how to use a spell from the moment you were born."
"How can that be?"Bunduk shook his head, he said, "Although most elves are born with magic power, there's still a gap between that and the spell they cast. You should be talking about the aptitude to cultivate a spell."
"I see."Bunduk thought for a while and agreed.
"There are also many classification of spells,"Abel continued to explain. "If you want to be a mage who runs a teleportation formation, then you have to devote yourself wholeheartedly to the spell of space displacement."
"Is the spell of space displacement very troublesome?"Bunduk asked with a glimmer of hope.
"It's quite troublesome. This kind of spell needs to be studied by myself. Compared to the uniqueness of physique, this is more important,"Abel pointed at his head and said.
Bunduk's eyes widened and said, "You still need to study it by yourself? That's really too difficult for me."
"What are you guys talking about?"Kant interrupted and said.
"Commander Bunduk said that he wants to be a mage."Abel smiled and said, "I'm talking to him about spell."
"Mage?"Kant shifted his gaze to Bunduk and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of this?"
Seeing that Bunduk was embarrassed to speak, he felt embarrassed. Abel explained for him, "I think Bunduk likes the teleportation formation that we sat in before."
"I see."Kant nodded. "Bunduk, if you are really curious, you can ask Abel to teach you a few spells. Since you have thought of it, you can try it yourself."
"Is that okay?"Bunduk asked in surprise.
Abel was also very surprised by Kant's instructions. When talking about this topic, he thought Kant would definitely pass it off as a joke. He didn't Expect Your Highness to actually become serious.
"Abel, can I?"Kant asked Abel on behalf of Bunduk.
"… Yes. But I'm a water elf, and I only know water-type spells,"Abel said hesitantly. "But the attributes of the soldier under my command are different. Among them, there will always be someone who learns a spell that is suitable for Bunduk's physique."
"Yes."Kant nodded and said to bunduk, "Bunduk, have you done the preliminary test of your physique?"
"Preliminary… what?"Bunduk asked in puzzlement.
"A test to test the elemental attributes of the magic power in your body."Abel was slightly surprised. "How Does Your Highness Kant Know About This?"
"As the Lord of the Elf Kingdom, it's not surprising that I know about this, right?"Kant shrugged and said with a relaxed smile.
"That's true…"Abel thought for a moment and nodded.
"If you really want to learn a spell, it's better to do a test,"Kant suggested to Bunduk. "If someone teaches you a spell that conflicts with your body's attributes, it will be harmful to your body."
"HMM…"bunduk frowned and thought for a while, he shook his head and said, "Actually, I'm just casually mentioning it. Spell is still too heavy for me. And it sounds like that test is quite troublesome."
"As you wish,"Kant replied indifferently. "However, it's a good thing to learn more things."
"Yes."Bunduk nodded.
The dark clouds that were still hovering over the town yesterday had all dispersed. Although it was already night time, there were still many nomads strolling around on the streets. The clear night breeze brushed past the ears of Kant and the others. Kant took a deep breath and said, "Let's find a hotel to stay in. Now that dinner has passed and we have put down our bags at the inn, Let's go to the street where we used to stay and make up for our dinner."
"Yes,"Abel and Bunduk agreed. The two walked in front of Kant, looking for a suitable inn on both sides of the street. Finally, they stopped in front of an inn called 'Chunxi Pavilion'.
"This inn looks quite clean."After walking into the inn, Bunduk looked around and said.
"The name is also quite artistic,"Abel said.
"It's early March, and it's close to the flowering season. Staying here can be said to be in keeping with the times."Abel nodded.
They were greeted by an orcs accountant. The accountant explained to them, "There's a fireworks festival tonight. The inn's owner gave his employees a holiday, and the guests went to the streets after dinner.". Therefore, the inn seemed a little deserted, and he asked them not to take offense.
"So there are so many people on the streets because there are activities on the streets,"Abel suddenly realized.
"Every spring, the merchants in the town will organize a fireworks display. Our boss will also participate. "The fireworks are quite beautiful. If the guests are interested, you can go to the streets to take a look,"the accountant suggested to the three of them while settling the bill, the cashier advised them with a smile.
"Thank you."Kant nodded. "If we have time, we will definitely go take a look."
"Yes, your rooms are on the second floor at the corner of the stairs. The door number is marked on the key. I Won't send you upstairs."The cashier smiled.
"Yes."Bunduk glanced at the cashier's right leg, which was tightly bandaged, and asked him, "Your leg seems to be quite serious?"
"It's fine. It's just that there was an accident and I accidentally fell,"the cashier said.
Chapter 827: Inn of the Orcs
Kant wanted to stop talking, but when he saw the cashier immediately cover his right leg behind the counter, his eyes couldn't help but become confused. He asked, "Did you fall?"
"Yes."The cashier nodded. "I stepped on the empty stairs and fell down from upstairs."
"Then we have to be careful,"Kant replied with a hint of meaning. "We'll go upstairs first. We'll bring our bags up ourselves, so we don't need to trouble the waiter."
"Okay, I hope you'll like it here."The clerk nodded with a smile.
Kant strode upstairs, holding the key handed to him by the clerk.
"No. 102…"Kant carefully looked at the sign on the door of each room and finally stood in front of the door of the room he had reserved. He unlocked the door and walked in.
The hotel was facing the street, and the floor they lived on was not high. From time to time, they could hear the conversation of passers-by.
After walking into the room, Bunduk immediately pulled open the curtains and let in the Sunset Light. He looked downstairs and said, "There are more and more people on the street. It seems that the fireworks will start soon."
"Let's put down our bags and set off,"Kant ordered. "First, we need to return to the street where the snake-woman guild is."
"Yes,"Abel answered while wiping his face with a towel in the bathroom.
When the three of them came to the lobby again, the orcs'accounting room had disappeared.
"There is no one in the lobby of the inn. It's too dangerous,"Bunduk said. "Aren't you worried that a thief will sneak in?"
"That's not what you said."Abel shook his head and said, "The security of this town has always been well maintained. Moreover, most of the nomads who came here are from rich and powerful families. How could they have the intention to do such an embarrassing thing?"
"It's hard to say. After all, the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds."Bunduk shrugged and said.
"Alright, let's not argue about this. We are walking on this small island, and we didn't bring any valuable items. Why are you worried about this?"Kant didn't seem to be worried and advised the two of them.
After hearing Kant's words, Bunduk and Abel immediately shut their mouths. They quietly followed Kant to the main street.
Because Bunduk had lived in that tavern for a much longer time than the other two, he was probably leading the way the entire time. The place where the three of them set off was still quite a distance away from the original inn. The three of them walked for about half an hour, but they still did not reach their destination.
Seeing that there were more and more pedestrians on the street, Abel asked Bunduk, "Bunduk, how far is it from the snake-woman's Guild?"
"We're almost there,"Bunduk turned around and replied, "But there are more and more pedestrians on this street. I don't know where to go either."
"Ah?"Abel said in surprise, "You can't do that. Your Highness Kant and I are relying on you to lead the way."
"Don't worry. When we reach the intersection in front and look at the road signs, I'll know where we are now."Bunduk waved his hand and said to the two of them. He signaled for them to relax.
Abel and Kant looked at each other, but they still swallowed the words that were about to come out of their mouths.
Perhaps due to his impatience, Bunduk gradually increased his speed in the crowd. Sometimes, he did not even realize that his body had hit the pedestrians on the road.
Abel and Kant followed closely behind him, their hearts trembling with fear. Just as they were about to call out to Bunduk, they saw a man about ten meters away grab Bunduk's collar. He said fiercely, "Are you blind, Kid? Did you see that you bumped into me?"
Bunduk frowned and said calmly, "I'm sorry. If I bumped into you, I'll apologize to you. But Can you let go of your hand first? I have something urgent to do."
"What kind of attitude is that?"The man's expression became even uglier.
Abel finally could not help but walk out of the crowd and smooth things over. "I'm sorry, Brother. My Friend is a little impatient. It's his fault for accidentally bumping into you. Calm down."
"I'm also quite impatient. I'm not like him who rampaged through the streets like this."The man was still unrelenting.
"Are you done? !"Bunduk raised his head and shouted at the man.
Abel was startled by this sentence. He turned his head to look at Bunduk in disbelief and said, "Bunduk, what's Wrong?"
Kant, who was standing quietly by the side, also frowned strangely when he saw Bunduk's outburst. He walked up to Bunduk and called out sternly, "Bunduk, you were wrong in this matter. Aren't you going to admit your mistake?"
After Bunduk met Kant's gaze, the anger in his chest slowly subsided. Then, he lowered his head with a gloomy expression and did not say a word.
Abel's expression also became strange. He muttered in his heart, 'what's wrong with this person?'.
"Yo!"The man was also stunned by Bunduk's sudden outburst. When he came back to his senses.., he immediately pointed at Bunduk and said, "I'll remember you, Kid. Don't let me catch you when you leave the city."
After leaving this sentence, the man cursed and left the scene.
The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed. Abel hurriedly walked to the front of Bunduk and asked in puzzlement, "Bunduk, what happened to you just now? Do you know that person?"
"I don't know him."Bunduk was silent for a long time before he said quietly.
"Then why are you yelling at him? If you cause trouble in this small town, you will be arrested and thrown into prison."Abel put his arm around Bunduk's shoulder and wanted to comfort him, but he found that the clothes on Bunduk's back were already soaked in sweat. After a flash of surprise, Abel turned his gaze to Kant.
Kant pursed his lips and did not say anything. After seeing that Bunduk had regained his breath, he stretched out his hand and said to him, "Let's go. Let's have dinner first."
"… Yes."Bunduk held the hand that Kant handed over and supported himself to stand up.
The three of them walked silently into a restaurant by the roadside. However, they did not seem to fit in with the lively atmosphere in the restaurant.
A waiter at the door hesitantly walked forward to welcome them. "Are you all here to eat?"
"Yes,"Abel replied.
"If the three of you are here to eat together, there are still empty seats upstairs in our restaurant. Everyone can watch the fireworks,"the waiter introduced as he led the way.
"Is the fireworks convention about to start?"Abel asked.
"Yes, the fireworks meet will start at eight o'clock. It's less than fifteen minutes from now."The waiter looked at the pocket watch in his hand and explained with a smile.
Chapter 828: the other self in the body
"Then let's go up to the second floor to take a look,"Kant agreed.
"Please follow me,"the waiter greeted the three of them and led them up the stairs in the corner of the hall to the restaurant on the second floor.
There were also many guests on the second floor. Before the waiter brought the three of them to the empty seats, he said, "Please Wait a moment. There will be a special waiter coming to serve you soon."
"Okay."Kant nodded and took a seat by the window.
"Sorry to trouble you,"Abel said to the waiter. He sat down on the chair next to Bunduk.
The waiter smiled subtly and took his leave.
Kant and the others were seated near the window, but they were seated near the front, almost to the corner of the wall.
After a while, two unfamiliar waiters brought tea and a menu. They stood on both sides of the table and said, "Welcome to our restaurant. After the customers place their orders, we will serve delicious food as soon as possible."
"Okay."Abel took the menu and carefully read it page by page. Halfway through, Abel glanced at Bunduk, who was looking out of the window in a daze. He asked, "Bunduk, do you have anything you want to order?"
"AH."Bunduk came back to his senses and said, "No… No."
Abel slowly nodded and began to report the dishes he liked to the waiters standing on both sides.
At this time, Kant had already ordered his own dinner. He sat quietly at the side and drank tea.
"This is it,"Abel said politely. "Please report it to the kitchen."
"Okay. Please wait a moment, my lords,"the two waiters respectfully took back the menu and said. Then, they disappeared from the sight of the three people.
"I ordered a set meal recommended here for you. It has steak and so on,"Abel introduced to Bunduk.
"Oh, okay."Bunduk nodded blankly. "Thank you."
"Tell me what you think."Kant put down the Teacup and stared at Bunduk.
Bunduk nervously pursed his lips and said, "About what happened just now?"
"Yes. If you have other things to refer to, you can also tell me everything."Kant nodded.
"I feel that I am a little strange."Bunduk glanced at Kant and Abel and said hesitantly, "I feel that the person living in my body has been changed."
"Yes."Kant let out a long breath and said, "When did you start to feel this way?"
"After you went up the mountain, when I was alone in the hotel,"Bunduk said, "At first, I thought that it was because I hadn't been alone for too long, which made it easy for my imagination to run wild when I was alone. "But after meeting you, I found that this judgment was wrong."
"What do you mean?"Abel asked worriedly. "What did you find?"
"That feeling is still going on."Bunduk held his forehead, "Recently, many thoughts that wouldn't have appeared in my head before,"he said. "And most of those thoughts are very dangerous. I can't control them."
"Have those thoughts affected your behavior?"Kant asked.
"No, it's just that this strange feeling is giving me a headache."Bunduk closed his eyes in pain and explained, "That's why I couldn't help but shout out in the street just now. "Because the thoughts in my head were always urging me to attack that nomads."
"So the words you shouted were said to your own body?"Abel said in surprise.
He had never heard of such a case before.
"Yes."Bunduk's eyes glanced out of the window and said softly, "I'm very afraid. If this continues, my behavior will also be out of control."
"As long as we find the cause of the incident, there will be a way to solve this problem."Kant thought for a while and said, "I remember you saying that the Beast Tamer put some kind of insect worm on you, right?"
"Yes."Bunduk nodded and said, "But I've already drank the antidote that the Beast Tamer gave me, and the stiffness in my body completely disappeared after I took the medicine."
"I think that your recent experiences can still be attributed to that Beast Tamer,"Kant concluded.
"But that Beast Tamer has already left this small town."Bunduk sighed. "I've asked many people, but I haven't been able to find any traces of him."
"After dinner, we'll immediately head to the snake-woman's union. We'll look for clues at the place where you were attacked,"Kant said after thinking for a moment.
"Yes,"Bunduk and Abel agreed.
After their conversation ended, the food was pushed to the table by the dining cart.
"Please enjoy your meal."After the waiter served the food, he turned around and left.
At this time, some customers on the first floor walked to the window on the second floor, saying that they wanted to take a better position to watch the fireworks.
Kant showed a cold expression at this scene. Abel also felt that the dining table was surrounded by a crowd, and his face showed discomfort. He stood up and said to the nomads next to him, "Don't you see that there are people eating? Why are you all crowded here?"
"Yes, a good dinner was ruined by you people."After Abel spoke, someone in the restaurant immediately echoed.
The people from both sides began to argue, and the situation in front of them seemed to be on the verge of taking action.
Bunduk walked into the crowd and fished out Abel, who was talking non-stop. He wanted to take him away.
"If you have the ability, don't leave."Among the opposing camp, a sharp-eyed nomads noticed Bunduk's actions and immediately walked over. He grabbed Bunduk's arm and stopped him.
Bunduk sized him up and said impatiently, "Get out of the way."
"Who are you? Why are you so unreasonable?"This nomads also became anxious. He called out to a few nomads behind him and blocked Bunduk's path.
"Fight them. This time, it's on me,"Abel stood behind Bunduk and said hatefully.
Bunduk turned around and looked at him helplessly. He then looked at the few thin nomads in front of him and said, "I'll advise you again. Don't block the way."
"What? You want to fight?"The leading nomads took a step forward and said with a fierce expression.
Bunduk quickly walked forward and punched the other party's chest.
The soldier who received Bunduk's punch with his chest didn't move like a mountain. He didn't hear the cheers from the crowd. His expression changed from fear to surprise. He really didn't expect the other party to really fight. After all, although the tavern was indoors, it wouldn't be easy to be caught by the patrolling soldier.
However, when Bunduk, who was several times taller than him, punched him in the chest. The nomads thought in surprise, 'why is this punch so light?'?
Chapter 829: Commander who has lost his strength
"Are you kidding me?"The nomads who had been punched threw away the toothpick in their mouths and said, "You still dare to act like this with such little strength?"
While Bunduk was still in a state of shock, the nomads threw a punch with all their might and hit Bunduk's right cheek.
Feeling the sweet taste in his mouth, Bunduk was even more stunned.
Seeing that the situation had changed drastically, Abel pointed at the nomads who had thrown the punch and shouted, "You dare to hit me? Everyone! Go!"
"Go!"The nomads on Abel's side rushed forward. Abel rushed halfway and returned to Bunduk's side, dragging him out of the chaotic crowd.
However, he did not see Kant's figure. He asked the waiter, who was anxiously walking down the stairs, "Hey, did you see the guest with us?"
"Yes, I saw him. That Lord went downstairs early in the morning and said that he was waiting for you two at the entrance of the lobby."The waiter was suddenly stopped by someone and was shocked. After seeing their faces clearly, he answered.
"Yes, okay. Thank you."Abel nodded and said.
After Abel let go of his hand, the waiter immediately left.
While dragging Bunduk down the stairs, Abel met the tavern owner who hurriedly went up the stairs to check the situation.
"Two guests, are you okay?"The owner asked anxiously.
"We're fine."Abel saw the tavern owner sizing up Bunduk, so he explained, "But he seems to have been scared by that group of people. Please don't take offense."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."The tavern owner quickly apologized, "Those customers have disturbed your meal. Tonight's meal is free. I only hope that the Lord will not spread this matter."
"Okay, okay."Abel did not expect to get such a bargain. He pursed his lips and nodded in agreement.
"Take care, My Lords."The tavern owner rushed upstairs to take care of the situation, and did not have the mood to stay for a while to chat with the two. After apologizing politely, he immediately left.
"Let's go. Your Highness Kant is still waiting for us,"Abel said to Bunduk.
After stepping down the stairs, Bunduk immediately saw Kant's figure. He waved his hand and greeted him, "Your Highness Kant."
"Well, how are you?"Kant left his seat and went downstairs to the lobby to get some fresh air when Abel was the first to speak and argue with the guests who had squeezed up the stairs.
At this moment, he saw the swollen right side of Bunduk's face and asked, "Bunduk, what happened to you?"
"I asked him to help me clear the way, but in the end, he punched the chest of the nomads who were blocking the way, but the nomads didn't react at all."Abel glanced at Bunduk and explained, "I was beaten up by them."
"How can that be?"Kant was puzzled. "With your skills, the customers in this shop shouldn't be your match, right?"
"I thought it was very strange too."Abel stroked his chin and said.
"It's over."Bunduk, who had been silent all this time, covered his face and said, "Not only is my consciousness not my own, my body has also become strange."
"You're probably just too tired,"Kant said worriedly.
Compared to Kant's skills, he was more worried about the state that Bunduk was in right now.
"No, definitely not."Bunduk stood up and stated, "When I attacked, I had already decided to use a few percent of my strength to repel this group of people. However, when my fist touched them, I did not feel a trace of strength in my body."
"Let's quickly go to the scene where you fought with pick."Abel sighed and suggested, "Right now, for Bunduk's condition, every minute and second is crucial."
"Mm."Kant nodded in agreement with Abel's words. At this moment, Bunduk's body was changing at any time. This was too terrifying. Perhaps after a few days, Bunduk in front of him would unknowingly transform into a complete stranger, and even his consciousness would be devoured.
"Fortunately, I have all of you by my side at this moment,"Bunduk said softly.
If he was alone, perhaps until his consciousness disappeared, the world would still be peaceful.
The three of them sped up and walked toward the snake-woman union.
"Bang, Bang, Bang!"
As the three of them walked forward, fireworks lit up in the sky. Many nomads who were walking on the street stopped and stood still to watch the fireworks. After the first round of fireworks ended, everyone rushed to the place where the fireworks were shot off.
"The fireworks this year are really beautiful."
Abel heard the passers-by discussing.
However, he was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery that shone in the sky. He only focused on the ground.
After the crowd began to move, the three of them found it difficult to move. They could only hold hands and move sideways.
Fortunately, after the intersection at the end of the street was separated from the crowd, the crowded situation finally eased a little.
"The snake-woman guild is ahead, right?"Abel looked at the towering sign on the top of the guild building and said joyfully.
"Yes."Kant raised his head and looked in that direction. He said, "We're almost there."
When the three of them got closer, they found that the sign in front of the Guild had been changed. It read: because of the preparations before the Fireworks Festival, the guild is resting today.
"He's really willful,"Abel said softly. In his heart, he began to wonder who was the operator of this guild.
"The losses caused by the battle that day have been completely repaired. No traces can be seen,"Kant said in disappointment as he looked around.
The brick walls that had been destroyed were now completely new. Even the potholes on the road had been filled up.
"The repair work of the GNOME soldier has indeed been done well,"Abel nodded.
"I remember a place. Follow me."Even though his consciousness was very blurry at the time, Bunduk was still able to accurately remember the road leading to Pick's living quarters.
The other two followed closely behind Bunduk with puzzled expressions. After turning a street corner, they arrived at a famous living quarters.
"This is Pick's living quarters?"Abel asked.
When they reached the second floor, a house that was obviously abandoned appeared in front of the three of them.
Bunduk knew that he was on the right path. He did not immediately step into the house. Instead, he stopped at the door and sized up the stairwell where he was fighting against Gilbert.
"I remember that pick was blasted into the wall by me. There should be a big hole here. Has It been repaired so quickly?"Bunduk pointed at a wall by the door and said.
