Lord of the Oasis Chapter 852:
Chapter 849: Chat after dinner
"Anyway, from now on, don't entrust him with your business." Kant explained.
"Yes." Bandak and Abel looked at each other and could only respond helplessly.
No matter how they say it, they don't change their minds about Phylt over one small thing. Just because this is what Kant told them. They also had to agree.
After a quiet dinner, Kant was ready to leave.
"Your Majesty, won't you have a few words with the soldiers?" Bandak quickly put down his dinner fork and asked in a voice.
"When I toasted before, I had already finished speaking." Kant smiled slightly and said, "You two will go and have a few more words with the soldiers later."
"Ah, so it is." Bandak recalled the time when he and Abel were absent, and suddenly realized: "Well, leave the rest to us."
"Yes." Kant nodded slightly, then turned and left.
Bandak has been eating a lot, which makes Abel, who has been sitting by the side waiting for him to finish his meal, speechless. He opened his mouth and said, "Commander, the soldiers are waiting for you to speak. If you continue to eat like this, you will have to serve supper to the soldiers in the restaurant."
Bandak looked up from the stack of dinner plates and retorted, "Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense," said Abel, curling his lips. "You see, aren't the soldiers waiting for you?"
Bandak looked around after hearing the words, and found that most of the soldiers put down their knives and forks, paying attention to the movements of their table. When Bandak's eyes moved to them, he looked very cramped.
"Brother Bandak" Kerry pursed his lips and said hesitantly.
"Kerry," Bandak said with a blush on his cheeks, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
"It's fine," Kerry responded.
"I'm full, let's call the soldiers over and start the rally." Bandak said to Abel, wiping the corners of his mouth with a napkin.
"Meeting here?" Abel asked in surprise.
"Yes, the soldiers are here for dinner." Bandak said strangely, "Let them talk to us here and then go back to the room to rest."
"You have this plan, you should have said it earlier." Abel shook his head and said, "If you said earlier, why are we waiting for you. Well, if you are not full, you can continue to eat. I have a word with the soldiers."
"You" Bandak was at a loss for words, looking at the back of Abel as he got up and left.
"Everyone! Put the chairs next to each other. Let's chat a little today." Abel called to the waiting soldiers.
"Yes." The soldiers moved the table away, leaving an open space. All the chairs were lined up side by side.
"Lord Abel, how long are we going to stay in this town?" An Elf soldier stood up and asked after Abel was seated in the front chair.
"Don't stand up, just sit and raise your hand." Abel waved his hand to signal the soldier to sit down, and responded, "We can't leave the town until the task at hand is completed. Do you know what the mission is?"
"Avenge General DeWitt and General Claremont," a Calradia replied loudly.
"Yes," said Abel, nodding slightly, "but this task needs to be carried out step by step. We stay in this town to take our first steps."
"Lord Abel, what's your first step?" a soldier asked.
"This, it's up to your team leader, Kerry. Come and explain it to you." Abel raised his hand, motioned Kerry to come to his side, and introduced: "He is the captain elected by you, Right? I don't remember mentioning the leader for you before we set off."
"Yes," replied a soldier in the front row, "Kerry is the leader of all of us."
"Well, he will be the commander of this operation." Abel turned to Kerry and said, "Kerry, please introduce. The content of this operation."
Kerry pursed her lips and nodded. Looking at all the soldiers, he said: "Your Majesty Kant, they found a member of the dark side organization in the town, and he carries vital information. Although he has left the town a few days ago. But his Yu Dang is still in ambush in the city, we will pay close attention to the movement in the city in the next few days. Find out the escape of the member of the organization.”
"Yes." The soldiers responded immediately.
"Well," Abel took over the conversation and added: "It's just that we have very limited sources of information. We can't know exactly which members are in contact with Pique on weekdays. We can only rely on you to stay there. The news gathering place in the city, inquiring about news all day long.”
"From tomorrow onwards, everyone's schedule will be very tense. However, the goblins and gnomes have agreed to join hands to help us. So I believe that this task will soon have new progress. During this period, only Thank you all for your hard work." Bandak walked to Kerry's side and said sternly to the soldiers.
"Go all out!" the soldiers echoed, raising their hands.
"Okay," Abel nodded reassuringly. "Let's talk about how your time was when you came from the coast. How did you get on the boat?"
"The soldiers of the Dragon Clan arranged a boat for us and drove to the coast to pick us up." Kerry found a seat for himself in the crowd, and replied after sitting down.
"Where's the crew on the ship? Are they also the vagabonds of the Dragon Clan?" Bandak asked, leaning back in his chair.
"No, it's a siren." A Calradia responded: "After the dragons greeted us to board the ship, they flew away. After the crew took us into the cabin, they didn't pay any attention to us. ."
Abel remembered that when he and DeWitt and others returned to the harbor, the ship they were on was also operated by the Kraken. Hesitantly, he asked the elf soldier, "Is that the ship we were on a month ago?"
"Yes." An elf soldier responded, "The cabin is exactly the same."
"I didn't expect that such a private ship would have contact with the Dragon Clan." Abel said silently.
"Have you been on this ship before?" Bandak asked curiously.
"Yeah." Abel nodded. "After we rescued the gnomes, we took this ship back to the harbor. DeWitt and Claremont were still there. The quality of the ship was How good, it seems to be an old ship for many years."
Chapter 850: Tasks received by soldiers
"Then did you encounter any trouble when you were on the boat?" Bandak asked the soldiers worriedly.
"No." Kerry shook his head and said, "Although the crew didn't pay much attention to us, they usually took care of us in terms of diet."
"Well, that's fine." Bandak nodded.
The group began to chat about their experiences, and Bandak kept the fact that he was raped when he talked about his experience in the small town.
"That member of the dark side actually fought against Lord Bandak?" a soldier exclaimed.
"Well, Pique is an extremely dangerous person." Bandak said: "Your task is to search for news and track the movements of the locked characters. Never take the initiative to fight Pique."
"Yes," the soldiers replied.
"Okay, it's getting late." Abel looked up at the wall clock on the wall and told the soldiers: "Everyone, go back to your room and rest, we will start working tomorrow."
"Yes." The soldiers put the dining chairs and dining table back in their original positions, walked to Bandak and others in groups of three or five, said goodbye to them, and left the dining room.
"Let's go back and rest as well." Bandak turned to Abel after sending Kerry off.
"You can't, you still have to drink medicine." After glancing at Bandak, Abel reminded: "I have given the medicine to the clerk in the back kitchen, and now the medicine should be ready. ."
"By the way, I almost forgot about this." Bandak patted his forehead and responded, "Thank you, when did you give the potion to the clerk?"
"While you're changing your clothes." Abel said, "It's just a small matter, it's the most important thing to get your medicine now. Don't forget that you have a countdown bomb installed in your body, bro. ."
"Okay." Bandak nodded with a smile, "Then I'll go to the kitchen first."
"Yeah." After walking for a while, Abel turned around and nodded to him. After seeing Bandak turn and go downstairs, he walked to the door of the guest room. He raised his hand and knocked gently on the door.
"Who?" Kant's voice reached Abel's ear through the crack of the door.
"Your Highness, I am Abel," Abel responded.
"Wait a minute." Kant walked slowly to the entrance and unlocked the door. After seeing that the person standing outside the door was indeed Abel, he confidently turned back to his previous position and asked Abel, "Where's Bandak?"
"He's probably drinking his medicine in the lobby's cafe right now," Abel replied.
"Well." Kant nodded and said, "You have to remind him about this, otherwise, with his memory, it is almost impossible to take medicine on time."
"His Royal Highness really knows the commander too well." Abel laughed and walked to Kant's side: "His Royal Highness, why haven't you returned to your room to rest?"
"I have almost rested today." Kant shook his head and said: "There is still a lot to do tomorrow, I have to prepare in advance. By the way, have you told the soldiers what the next task is? "
"Well, I said something roughly." Abel nodded and said, "They have now returned to their rooms to rest, presumably to save their stamina for tomorrow's task."
"Well, you should rest early too. I've been running around all day today." Kant lowered his head in peace and instructed after hearing Abel's answer.
"Your Highness, you should rest early too." Abel did not disturb Kant's preparations, but left an exhortation and turned around and walked into his bedroom.
After hearing the door closing in the bedroom, Kant put down his ink and thought quietly.
After a while, Bandak also walked outside the door. After Kant heard the familiar coughing sound that belonged to him, he consciously stood up and walked to the door to open the door for the other party.
"Your Highness, why are you still in the main hall?" Bandak asked suspiciously after walking through the door.
"I can't sleep, so I plan to take this time to sort out the news at hand. After all, you will start performing tasks in the town tomorrow." Kant made a pot of hot tea for himself and returned to the tea table with the teapot. While on the side, he answered.
"It's hard work, Your Highness." Bandak sat down at the tea table and said, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
Kant looked up at him with a smile and said, "You just need to worry about whether you will be able to spend your time on the street tomorrow. I'm just doing a simple tidying up."
"I heard from Abel that sometimes he sees you working late into the night." Bandak asked worriedly: "Your Highness, we are worried about your body."
"It's fine." Kant pointed to his chest and said, "If my body can't hold it any longer, it will tell me."
"Yeah." Bandak nodded silently, with unstoppable worry in his eyes.
"Okay, don't sit here with me. Hurry back to the house to rest." Kant said: "Aren't you drinking medicine now? The effect of the medicine will fluctuate according to the body's routine. You have to pay more attention to this."
"Yes." Bandak recalled the bitter taste of the potion, and said with a grin, "However, this drug is really bitter enough. I almost couldn't swallow it."
"In order to survive, many people suffer much more than these medicines." Kant instructed: "You can't delay, you have to take medicine on time every day. I will let Abel supervise your ."
"Yes." Bandak smiled slightly, "Then I will not disturb your Majesty's business affairs."
"Yes." Kant replied with a slight nod without raising his head.
After Bandak left, the information in hand was almost finished by Kant. Kant walked to the window in the main hall and looked at the street scene downstairs: most of the gateways on this street were self-employed hotels. Not many merchants and homeless people roam the streets. Moreover, it is now close to the early morning, and most of the people have returned to their temporary hotels.
Kant looked up at the volcano in the distance. From his perspective, the entire volcano was in his eyes.
In contrast to the dark town streets: the halfway up the volcano is always brightly lit in the middle of the night. And the goblin country is not in that light, their territory is on the south side of the mountain, standing on the site at the foot of the mountain, it is impossible to observe the movements of the goblin family.
Kant stood in front of the window for a long time. When a gust of cold wind came, he wrapped his cotton robe tightly.
The evening wind in the early spring night is still a bit chilly. Kant lowered his eyes, put out the candlestick, and walked back to his bedroom.
Chapter 851: Invitation from the innkeeper
The next morning, Abel and Bandak woke up early. Responsible for waking up the rest of the soldiers.
After washing up, Bandak rushed out of the guest room door, found the room where the soldiers lived, and knocked on the door.
Abel fell behind him, picked up the summary sheet that Kant had placed on the tea table the night before, and walked out the door.
Kant was still asleep at this time, until two hours later, a waiter walked to the door of the guest room and knocked **** the door.
"Who?" Kant was suddenly awakened from his sleep, and his mood couldn't help becoming impatient. After getting up, he stopped near the entrance and asked in a somewhat impatient tone.
"Lord Conkant?" The waiter stood outside the door and replied timidly, "There is a letter from the Goblin Nation."
"Oh." After Kant heard the word 'goblin', he immediately cheered up. Opening the door, he stretched out his hand to the waiter and said, "Give it to me."
"Yes." The waiter responded by carefully offering the newly arrived letter with both hands.
"Thank you for your hard work." Kant looked down at the address written on the envelope and said to the waiter.
"It's all right," the waiter asked hesitantly, "Lord Kangkant, do I need to prepare breakfast for you? Although, it's almost noon now"
"No, I'll go downstairs for lunch later." Kant hurriedly checked the contents of the letter and said goodbye to the waiter: "Please walk slowly."
"Good" the waiter replied softly after seeing the door of the guest room being closed with a "bang!" in front of him.
When Kant walked back to the main hall, he glanced at the clock hanging in the entrance: it was indeed twelve o'clock noon.
Tear open the envelope with bare hands, and after roughly reading the contents of Gilbert's reply in the letter, Kant finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the bathroom to wash.
Gilbert's reaction was the same as what Kant had pre-selected in his mind: he promised that he would arrange for soldiers in the city to assist Kant and others in monitoring, and would pay more attention to the news from the monitoring station.
The fact that this animal trainer was involved with the insiders of the inspection station seemed to surprise Gilbert. So I specifically wrote about this in the letter.
After washing his face, Kant took the letter from Gilbert in his arms, walked out of the guest room, and went to the restaurant for dinner.
The service area of the restaurant is divided into order type and self-service type.
Kant walks to the ordering area and invites a waiter to record the menu. After that, I picked a seat by the window and waited quietly.
It's still an hour or two before lunch, and there are only a few people in the huge restaurant. Each occupies a better table.
Kant didn't really like eating in the presence of strangers. So I walked over to the empty table and sat down. Looking at the scenery in the sky, passing the time before lunch.
I don't know when, I was alone at the table, and there was another person.
Kant frowned slightly and looked at the half-orc sitting opposite him: he found that this person was somewhat familiar, and when the other party spoke, he immediately recognized the other party's identity.
"Lord Kant, what a coincidence." The innkeeper said with a smile, "When I walked into this restaurant, I noticed you were there. I was wondering if I could have lunch with you."
"Of course." Kant responded with a smile: "After all, it is rare to see the boss in the hotel."
"What's so rare?" The innkeeper waved his hand with a smile and asked, "How come you are alone, Lord Kant? What about Lord Bandak and Lord Abel?"
"They were out for business," Kant replied simply.
"I heard, Your Highness, that you brought a lot of business to our hotel." The hotel changed the subject and continued: "The environment of our hotel can only be seen as passable, you can rest assured and take care of the soldiers. Arrangements to move in. It is our pleasure."
"This is also because the environment of the inn is really good." Kant said: "Besides, I still want to be closer to the soldiers."
"Yeah." The innkeeper said, "I've been busy these past few days, and it's a pity that Felit greets a few people on my behalf."
"Nothing." Kant looked towards the semi-open kitchen, where his steak was sizzling in the pan.
"Lord Kant, do you have any plans for today?" The inn owner glanced at Kant's face and suggested, "I just have time, so I can take you to the city."
"Is that so?" Kant put his eyes back on the innkeeper and asked unexpectedly, "If the boss is willing to serve as a tour guide, of course I'd be very happy."
"That's it." The innkeeper grinned and said, "We'll set off after we finish our meal."
"Okay." Kant nodded and replied, "Thanks for your care."
It didn't take long before Kant's steak set was brought to the table. The innkeeper told the waiter to go to the wine store to fetch a glass of red wine.
While chatting with Kant, drinking and eating vegetables.
After lunch, Kant noticed that the innkeeper kept the rhythm at the table. This trait is very common among business people. Since Kant was born, he has dealt with countless businessmen, and he has become familiar with their process.
"Lord Kant, let's go." The innkeeper suggested to Kant after taking his last sip.
"But, no more rest?" Kant said worriedly.
He has been sitting idle for a while while waiting for the innkeeper. If the innkeeper intends to leave immediately after dinner, the exercise after dinner may bring a burden to his body.
"Don't worry, my lord." The innkeeper said understandingly: "My stomach has been blown away by the meals over the years. Making the best use of time is more important than this."
"Okay then." Kant did not continue to persuade him with reason, but agreed with the innkeeper's approach and nodded.
The two walked to the door of the inn and boarded the carriage owned by the innkeeper.
"Although this town is not big, there are quite a lot of places for people to visit." The owner of the inn sat in the carriage and introduced to Kant: "Today, with this carriage, I can take you around for a walk, Your Highness. times."
"What's the interesting thing you said?" Kant asked.
"It depends on personal preference. If it comes to a place that fits the identity of His Highness Kant." The innkeeper said: "There are only three or four. First of all, I will take you to the memorial hall in the city. The town's historical treasures are hidden there."
"Historical treasure?" Kant asked in surprise after hearing this.
Chapter 852: The realm where God has descended
"Yes, although the history of this town is not long." Seeing Kant's interest, the innkeeper explained in detail: "But because there are nomads of various races entrenched, the legendary story created in hundreds of years. That's enough."
"Well," Kant nodded and said, "I'm really interested in this aspect. Boss, your vision must be very good."
"Hehe," the innkeeper smiled and said, "I can't say that I have a good eye, but this exhibition hall is really worth seeing. Moreover, the newcomers who have just arrived on the island are not very familiar with this area, so I want to introduce I'll show you, Your Highness."
"Thank you for your invitation," Kant replied politely.
The innkeeper gave the driver the address of the destination before getting into the car. After advancing for an hour and a half, the carriage stopped in front of a magnificent building.
During this period, Kant kept looking out the window and saw many familiar faces in the army. It is found that Calradia and the elves have been active in observation. It wasn't until the people on both sides of the road became less and less crowded that he looked away.
"Your Highness, we are here," the innkeeper said to Kant.
Kant nodded, followed behind the innkeeper, and walked out of the carriage. With the help of the groom, he got off the carriage.
When he first saw the exterior of the pavilion, Kant thought he was in front of a classical palace.
"This is the most valuable building in the town. Because of the huge project, I didn't choose to build it together with the commercial area when it was built." The hotel owner led Kant to the hall of the hotel and introduced him: " Moreover, the most valuable part of him is not the appearance we have seen before, or the decoration inside."
"Then what is it?" Kant asked curiously, looking at the innkeeper's face.
The innkeeper pointed to the marble floor under their feet with a mysterious face, and said, "The most valuable things are in the basement of this pavilion. The rarest treasures in the pavilion are sealed and kept in the basement. We are in The pavilion on the ground can only see illusory images and some data.”
"Is it forbidden to enter and leave the basement for sightseeing?" Kant continued to ask.
"Yes." The innkeeper replied: "Only the leaders of the dwarves, gnomes and goblins have the right to enter and leave. This is a contract made hundreds of years ago. But the exhibits on the ground are enough for us. I went to appreciate it. Some people regard the study of the history of the island as their main business, and they have spent most of their lives in this exhibition hall, but they have not been able to understand the past of these objects in all aspects."
The innkeeper walks in front of Kant, showing him the tour process in the pavilion.
“What kind of place was this pavilion used as when it was first built?” Kant placed his hand in front of a transparent glass case according to the method taught by the innkeeper. , an image of a suspended object appeared in front of his eyes, and when he looked carefully, it turned out to be a jade flute. The words that appeared beside Yuxiao recorded the history of such instruments in detail.
"Well." The innkeeper thought for a while, then said: "There are many sayings on the island, and the most common one is that this venue was used as a habitat for gods at the beginning of its construction. . This is from the mouth of the angel family, so the credibility is much stronger than other genres. Everyone regards this as the orthodox origin of the exhibition hall."
"God?" Kant looked at the innkeeper suspiciously, and the emotion in his eyes seemed to confirm to him that the **** he said was the kind of existence mentioned in common sense.
"Yes." The innkeeper nodded hurriedly: "It's a god. I heard that the **** of the earth - Thor and the **** of peace - Frey have both come here."
"How did you know that?" Kant said hesitantly, trying to understand the facts of what the innkeeper said.
"The old people who have seen the gods said it, but it was also a story more than 200 years ago." The innkeeper recollected and stated: "The scene at that time was also recorded on the canvas. The image of the painting can be seen in the side hall.”
"Can you take me there?" Kant asked.
"Of course." The innkeeper readily agreed: "Since I came to the exhibition hall, I have to take a look no matter what."
"Thank you." After thanking Kant, he followed the innkeeper's footsteps and walked to another exhibition hall next to the main hall.
"Look." When the innkeeper entered the wing, he activated the video switch with his hand.
A huge magic circle appeared in front of the two of them, and the light in the whole room was sucked away in an instant.
The room was dark, and the magic circle in mid-air began to rotate slowly. Kant took a deep breath and quietly waited for the image to appear.
"噔——" After a loud noise, the magic circle erupted with a burst of golden light.
Kant's vision became brighter, and a huge picture scroll appeared in front of him.
"So beautiful." Kant couldn't help sighing when he looked at the portrait depicted in the picture.
The golden light from the scroll covered his entire body, and Kant felt that his mind suddenly became clear and illuminated by the golden light. A warm feeling hits all over the body.
Although the picture scroll only depicts the scene of Thor eating, the curves that outline Thor's body shape make anyone who sees it unable to help but be fascinated.
The innkeeper standing aside was also immersed in the picture.
The two stayed in the side hall for half an hour before leaving reluctantly.
When closing the door, Kant said regretfully: "If you can personally see the appearance of the god~IndoMTL.com~, you can be regarded as having no regrets in this life."
For a non-religious person, saying this kind of thing proves that Kant has been attracted by the scene just now.
"It's just a pity, that was the only time a **** descended on this land." The innkeeper shook his head and sighed.
"Yes." Kant nodded and said, "It's really a pity."
"Perhaps you shouldn't have brought your Majesty to see this scene so early." The innkeeper said with hindsight, "The only thing in the inn that still attracts your Majesty is probably only one place."
"What?" Kant was immersed in the beauty of the picture scroll. He raised his head and asked after listening to the innkeeper's words.
"Come with me, please," the innkeeper said mysteriously.
Kant followed the innkeeper with a puzzled look, and walked along the carpet in the main hall to the end of the exhibition hall.
At the end of the pavilion is an altar with three huge spar. Just by looking at it, you can tell it's a cheap alternative.
