Lord of the Oasis Chapter 868:

Chapter 85: The task thrown in front of you

"Your Highness, put on your coat. It's humid and humid at night." After noticing the quiet and sad atmosphere at the scene, Abel, who came later, bowed to Kant's side and whispered to him. Whisper.

"Well." Kant came back to his senses, turned his head and glanced at Abel, replied softly and nodded.

Abel carefully puts on Kant the sheepskin coat in his hands. Then backed away.

"Bandak, add some more firewood to the fireplace in the room." Kant raised his head and instructed Bandak, "Go to the kitchen downstairs to get some."

"Yes." Bandak nodded. Then he went to the fireplace to check the iron bucket where the firewood was placed, and after finding that there was not much firewood left, he threw all the remaining firewood into the fire. And told Kant: I will go downstairs to get firewood.

"I'll go with you." Seeing that Bandak had reached the entrance, Abel hurriedly said.

Bandak froze for a moment and stood there. And Abel first unlocked the door and walked out after Kant's consent.

"Wait for me." Bandak picked up the bucket and followed him out the door.

After the two left, only Kant and Trubin were left in the room.

The firewood in the main hall is burning more and more vigorously, and the temperature in the room also rises.

Trubin takes off his gloves after sorting out his emotions. He said to Kant: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty made you laugh."

"It's fine." Kant waved his hand and said with an encouraging smile on his face.

"The people at the Inspectorate haven't figured out where Jackie is hiding yet." Trubin's eyes became wet again, and he said, "I can't believe he would do such a thing? Maybe seven years ago, I shouldn't have adopted him."

After listening to Trubin's words, Kant was silent.

In the world he experienced in his last life, not to interfere with the lives of others has become the consensus of all. Humans are inherently insignificant. When receiving the blessings of God, they still want to interfere in the fate of others: it is a very difficult thing.

Before he came to this world, Kant had always held the attitude of "other people's affairs have nothing to do with me". However, with the memories of his previous life, after coming to this world, his values ​​have been loosened a little bit.

Maybe I don't know myself as well as I thought.

"The **** who bullied Jackie have been sent away by me." Trubin said angrily: "Such people must not be allowed to stay in the hotel."

"Yeah." Kant nodded slightly and said, "They deserve such a result."

"Your Highness, we're back." Bundak, who was holding a half barrel of firewood, and Abel, who accompanied him, stood at the entrance and greeted Kant.

"Come in." Kant beckoned and said, "It should be quite cold outside."

"It's a little bit," Bandak responded, rubbing his hands together after placing the iron pass by the fireplace.

"When we went downstairs, we found that many of the residents' rooms were still lit by candlesticks. It is estimated that tonight, no one can sleep much." Abel Hui reported.

"The waiter in the back kitchen told me that the firewood for this month was used up early. He said let's take advantage of the opportunity to stock up a little more. We have to make it through the last two days." Bandak grinned: "Then I will The soldiers who have not slept have been ordered to get firewood from him."

Abel quickly gave Bandak a wink, indicating that the owner of his inn was still here.

"Oh, oh, no." Bandak covered his mouth and quickly explained: "This waiter told me"

"It's my fault that the people below didn't take the initiative to tell me when something happened." Trubin interrupted Bandak's clarification and said.

"You still have to quickly find a suitable candidate to replace the position of Mr. Accountant." Kant said in a rounded tone: "Otherwise, these waiters will encounter some trouble, and I don't know who to turn to."

"I don't usually pay much attention to who is in this store. Fei Lit is always busy with jobs such as hiring. Where can I find this suitable person now?" Trubin said in distress. .

The four people in the main hall fell into thought, and the atmosphere became quiet again.

"Boss, our group has lived in this hotel for a long time." Kant suggested: "Otherwise, we will pay more attention to you in the next days. Let's see if we can. Found someone to enter the pool?"

"Okay," Trubin replied, "I'm sorry, everyone. I won't be in this town for a few days, and I'll be heading out of town the day after tomorrow. I wonder how long you'll be staying in the hotel?"

"We have a mission. After the mission is over, we will leave the island." Abel thought for a while and replied, "I think it will be at least half a month."

"That's great." A rare smile appeared on Trubin's face. Kant and others were willing to stay and give some support to the hotel. From the heart, he was very moved.

"If the boss will be back before then, I think we'll give solid advice," Kant promised.

"Okay." Trubin nodded and said, "Then I'll take my leave first. I'm really sorry for coming to disturb you late at night."

Kant stood up and said: "Boss, you still have to stay in this town for two days, don't you? If there is anything, we still have the opportunity to continue talking."

"Yes." Trubin left the room under the gaze of the three of them after he bowed.

"This is troublesome, we haven't found the person we were looking for, and now we have to pick a clerk for this hotel." After walking back to the main hall, Abel lay down in frustration On the tea table, he said.

"What's the matter? Whether it's suitable for business or not, this strength is still evident in human temperament." Bandak said indifferently.

"You have to choose this candidate carefully. At least give the boss an explanation." After Kant left this sentence, he turned and left.

Kant was changing into a bathrobe and was about to go to bed when Abel went to find him.

After talking with Trubin for a while, Kant is even more sleepy at this time, and it is estimated that he will sleep until noon tomorrow.

"Your Majesty is back in the room." Bandak yawned and said, "I'll talk about picking people tomorrow. I have to go to rest too."

"That's fine." Abel waved to Bandak and said, "Let you go back to rest now, and when I wake you up tomorrow, you'll have to be convinced to wake me up."

"Okay." Bandak didn't hear what Abel said at all, but agreed casually.

Chapter 8: The Soldier Who Smells the Fragrance

Abel looked at Bandak's leaving figure, sighed, and began to stay up all night alone.

At noon the next day, Kant woke up from his sleep. When he walked out of the bedroom, he found that the main hall was empty.

"Have the two of them gone for inspection?" Kant muttered silently in his heart. Then he went into the bathroom to wash up.

While Kant was lying in a wooden bucket full of hot water and enjoying his leisure time, footsteps were heard outside the bathroom door.

Before Kant had any idea, Abel's voice came in.

"Your Majesty, we're back from that guild! Michelle brings solid news!"

"When did you go?" Kant jumped out of the water tank and shouted to the door: "Wait until I go out."

"Yes!" Abel was in high spirits.

After putting on the padded jacket, Kant opened the bathroom door and walked out. After the hot air in the room encountered the low-temperature air outside the door, it immediately shrank back, forming a cloud of white gas hovering at the door.

Kant glanced at the two who were sitting at the tea table drinking afternoon tea.

After walking into the tea table, Kant pointed to the pastries on the table and asked suspiciously, "Are these from the waiter?"

"Don't bother them, we brought these to the kitchen by ourselves." Bandak took a sip of his tea and said indifferently.

Seeing the smug look of the two of them, Kant raised his eyebrows, sat down in his seat, and said, "You guys did a good job, you found a candidate so quickly. Even the task was completed. Tell me, how did you do it?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered that a soldier in the team was good at smelling incense." After seeing Kant seated, Abel immediately sat up straight and explained: "Let their captain take him with him. Go to the street near the guild to sell art."

"That's how the guild found them?" Kant was amused by Abel's idea and asked.

"Well," Abel couldn't help showing a proud look on his face, and continued: "Anyway, after the name of the soldier smelling incense spread in the street, the members of the guild also noticed the performance. The existence of this group of people. I rushed over immediately and told the soldier that at noon tomorrow, I would invite this soldier to meet the guild boss."

"Well, your idea is so good, it's really a coincidence." Kant applauded.

The guild is secretly running a drug business. Looking for a talent like a soldier, the content of the conversation is inseparable from the secret production chain.

"Just luck," Abel responded embarrassedly.

"By the way, what's that soldier's name?" Kant raised his head and asked.

"Michelle!" Abel responded.

"Can he handle tomorrow's meeting?" It was only now that Bandak interjected.

"This" Abel had a hesitant look on his face.

"Although it's really good to think about smelling incense, I told you at the time: you must choose someone who is suitable for negotiating with strangers." Kant's words also contained a trace of concern.

"The boy" Abel glanced at Bandak and said: "The temperament is relatively lively compared to other elf soldiers. However, after hearing about the sinking incident, the boy's temperament became quieter. A lot. Today I took them and their group to the vicinity of the guild, and I didn’t hear much from him the whole way.”

"Influence of the shipwreck incident" Bandak's expression also became complicated, raised his head and turned his eyes to Kant.

Kant was silent for a while under the gaze of the two. In the end, he said: "No matter what, we still have to think about how to carry out this plan. Abel made a good start, and the rest requires everyone to work together."

"Yes." Abel and Bandak answered in unison.

"After dinner tonight, arrange for Michelle and me to meet." Kant thought for a while and asked.

"Okay," Abel agreed.

Bandak and Abel left the inn after afternoon tea. Today, there were many soldiers in the team to **** the guests of the hotel to the gate of the city, so they also had to rush to the streets to patrol.

Kant walked to the restaurant on the second floor. After passing through the lonely cafeteria, we arrived at the à la carte restaurant.

The chef who cooked his lunch yesterday greeted him, "Good afternoon, sir!"

"Hello!" Kant responded with a smile: "Why are there so few people today?"

"Those people didn't want to stay in the hotel, and after breakfast, they went to hang out on the street." The chef smiled humorously: "But for me, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I usually come here. I don't have many people here."

"I think they just haven't tried it. If they did, they'd be hooked on your cooking." Kant blinked and said, "Just like me and your boss."

"Hmm hahaha." The chef's face was first wrinkled together, as if imagining the scene Kant said, after a while, he laughed happily: "Thank you, what are you going to eat today?"

"It's the same as yesterday." Kant took a seat by the window. After watching the sky for a while, he turned his head and asked the chef who was busy in front of the stove, "Didn't the boss come here today?"

"The boss went out early, but I prepared his breakfast." The chef raised his head and confidently said to Kant: "Shrimp vegetable rolls and peanut puree."

"Hehe," Kant laughed, "the boss is really working hard. He needs to go out to work every day."

"The boss's daily routine is indeed quite irregular, after all, he is the one who cares about this hotel." The chef replied while cutting the cherry tomatoes in half, "However, fortunately, his body It's not bad. As long as you adjust your work and rest time well, you will be no different from other people of the same age."

"Actually, the hotel was operating very well before we arrived." Kant said softly, "Why doesn't the boss give himself more time to rest."

"Haha." The chef laughed softly and said: "Sir, look at the street in front of the store, how many people will pass by? The boss came to the island ten years ago and opened the store in This kind of place. His heart is not in running this shop at all."

"You can see it quite clearly." Kant raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you interested in talking about more details?"

The chef raised his head with a smile, looked at Kant, shook his head, put the index finger of his left hand on his lips, and said, "People like us can't talk about this kind of thing." /

Chapter 87: Clues left by the chef

"Haha." Kant looked away and said, "If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. It's just that I think the people in your town, one or two, are really unfathomable."

"It doesn't matter at the moment." The chef put down Pao Ding and defended: "Just like me, in front of you, I am an ordinary cook. Isn't my identity a cook?"

"I'm too lazy to talk to you." Kant just thought that the chef's words were very funny, and if he was arguing with him, he would definitely be surrounded by him, so he waved his hand and continued to watch the scenery outside the window.

The chef chuckled for a while, then consciously silenced.

After more than ten minutes, the delicious and delicious lunch was served on the table. When Kant was arranging the napkins, he found that the chef brought another cup of peanut pulp.

"I talked too much just now," the chef apologized while standing at the table with a smile: "I apologized to you for this cup of peanut pulp. I hope you can forget the villain's fault."

"No, no." Kant quickly declined: "I had a good chat just now. Why are you doing this?"

After hearing the words, the chef's face became serious and he said, "This kind of peanut pulp is our boss's favorite, and it's also my favorite. Please accept it."

Kant raised his head and looked at the chef for a while, and finally nodded in compromise: "Well, let me try what it tastes like."

"Thank you very much." The chef sighed in relief and left the table after saluting.

After watching the chef leave, Kant picked up his knife and fork and began to enjoy his first meal of the day. When eating, people are always in a good mood. In the space where he stopped halfway, Kant caught a glimpse of the peanut pulp placed in the corner of the dinner plate.

With the silver cups, this simple drink becomes mysterious and luxurious.

"What time is this drinking?" Kant asked softly, looking towards the open stove. It turned out that there was no one there, and the cook who was cooking had left.

Kant raised his eyebrows in surprise. He couldn't help holding the handle of the cup with his right hand. He brought the peanut pulp presented by the chef to him, put it on his lips, and took a sip: the taste is really mellow and fragrant, and the peanut The particles are ground finely.

Kant drank the whole cup of peanut pulp in one breath, and when he put the empty cup back in place, a crisp sound reached Kant's ear.

A key was placed on the coaster that was presented with the cups.

Kant's eyes immediately became alert: this key must have been left by the chef, but why did he invite himself to meet him so secretly?

"This kind of peanut pulp is our boss's favorite, and it's also my favorite. Please accept it." What the chef said not long ago was replayed in Kant's mind.

"Is it about the innkeeper?" Kant took a deep breath and silently put the key into his sleeve. After confirming that no one was around, he hurriedly left the restaurant.

After walking out of the restaurant, Kant stood at the head of the stairs and hesitated for a while, but chose to go back to his room first to sort out what happened just now.

The time is now around 3:30 in the afternoon. After returning to the room, Kant closed the curtains in the main hall, sat down at the tea table, took out the key in his pocket, and studied it carefully.

The key is made of copper and iron and is now rusted. Going to the restaurant for lunch today is unpredictable, and Kant has never seen the chef leave the stove during the period from placing the order to waiting for the dishes to be served. The chef carries this key with him, and in the humid environment of the kitchen, it is really easy to rust.

The three numbers '503' were engraved on the key.

But this hotel doesn't have a fifth floor. Where does '503' refer to?

Kant carefully recalled in his mind what the chef had said before. During the conversation, he did not leave any information about the time of the meeting.

Kant, who can't find any clues in "this room", is going to ask for the answer himself.

At this time, a knock on the door came from outside the door, and Kant was so frightened that his breath stopped because of the sudden sound. Alertly responds: "Who?"

"Your Majesty Kant, I'm Mollie." A thin voice came in through the crack of the door.

"Moliere?" Kant thought about it for a while, before he remembered that the owner of this name was the dwarf who had choked with him in the lobby yesterday, and got up and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The group of people who attacked the hotel yesterday, I don't know what happened, were released today." The dwarf explained loudly.

"Wait, you come in and talk." After hearing this, Kant quickened his pace, walked to the entrance, opened the door of the guest room, and greeted the dwarf in front of him.

"Thank you." The dwarf immediately walked into the guest room, took a step before Kant and sat down at the tea table, lifted the teapot, and drank heavily. After breathing down, he wiped his mouth, and continued to Kant, who was sitting opposite him: "That group of people is too presumptuous. After being released by acquaintances in the supervision station, they immediately walked to the Bicolin Avenue. The pub is cool. It happened to meet the soldiers who were escorting the residents out of the city, and the two groups got into a fight."

"What happened? Who did it first?" Kant said with a frown.

"Uh, this orc man's words are too harsh, and he even commented on the families of the Calradian soldiers. So one of us couldn't help but move his hands." The dwarf observed Kant face, while explaining.

"Where are they now?" Kant asked with a long breath.

"I was taken to the monitoring station by the Acropolis soldiers on the street." The dwarf said: "That's why I came to find you, Your Highness. You have to hurry over there."

"You have been tricked. I can't take this matter personally, or else I'll be caught in the other's trap." Kant calmed down and said, "Do Bandak and the others know about this?"

"Well, after Lord Bandak and Abel learned the news, they are rushing to the monitoring station." After listening to Kant's inference, the dwarf was stunned, and responded: "Your Highness, you won't go there in person. If so, it may not be fair."

Kant glanced at him and said slowly: "I can't be distracted by their tricks anymore, that orc man is the cannon fodder of the dark side organization. Now go and clean them up, like you want to Chopping down trees, but just sweeping the leaves under them. I have more important things to do now.”

"So it is." The dwarf nodded timidly, frightened by the aura emanating from Kant's body. After a while, he backed out.

Chapter 88: Disputes in front of the mansion

After the dwarf left, Kant sat quietly for a while before walking to the lobby of the inn. I found the guy who was busy in the back kitchen and asked, "Do you know the chef in charge of cooking in the restaurant on the second floor, where is he now?"

"The chef is not resting at the hotel. Your lord, you didn't find him in the restaurant, so you probably just went back to your home." The guy was stunned and replied.

"When will he come again?" Kant pressed.

"This cook was invited by our boss who never knew where he wanted to come. People come and leave whenever they want. We can't figure it out either," the guy introduced.

"Okay, thank you." Kant came out of the back kitchen with a slight disappointment. After sitting in the cafeteria in the lobby for a while, I finally decided to find out the whereabouts of room '503' in this hotel during the time I didn't see the chef.

On the other side, Bandak and Abel, who rushed to the gate of the inspection station, happened to meet a group of orc men with bruised noses and bruised faces.

The seven or eight nomads walked up to the two of them voluntarily, and the orc man at the head frowned and said, "Why are you? Where is the one who is in the lead?"

"You have caused such a small storm, and you can't reach the side of His Highness's shoes." Abel clenched his fists and said, "Go back to your cell and squat!"

"It's up to you to help your group of brothers come out? I'm afraid it's not enough." The orc man shook his head and continued.

"Where are they now?" Bandak asked.

"I don't know, after all, we have only been in the temporary detention center here." The orc man smiled at the people around him, and sneered: "What kind of scenery is this cell, we really haven't seen it before."

"I told you to stay out of the way!" Abel kicked the orc man's waist horizontally, causing him to retreat a few meters away.

"Abel, let's go!" Bandak's forehead was already bursting with blue veins, and after enduring and enduring, he said to Abel.

Looking at the two who left, the rest of the homeless people crowded around the orc man and said indignantly: "These two people really need to be cleaned up."

"Our mission is complete, let's go to the bar." The orc man put away his mocking face and said indifferently: "The more angry these two are, the faster we will reach our goal. . This little thing is nothing to worry about."

The orc man left the inspection station with the help of his younger brother.

Now that Abel and Bandak have been overwhelmed by anger, they walked to the front of the inspection station and asked: "We are soldiers and officers of Calradia, and our people were sent here by the Acropolis army before. . We're here to pick them up."

"You" the inspectorate staff in charge of reception noticed the anger in the eyes of the two, and said timidly: "Please wait a moment, I will go to Captain Vermont. He led the team to send them here."

"Okay," Abel replied, "We'll wait for him here."

The clerk quickly spread his legs and ran to a public office in the corridor.

Five minutes later, Bandak and Abel stood motionless in front of the front desk, and passers-by began to look at them.

"This man is a good man, he might not be a newly transferred employee from this establishment." The businessman who often walked around the surveillance station commented in a low voice.

"It seems to be a human race and an elves, judging from the clothes of these two people. They should be outsiders." Another person in the crowd said: "What are they doing here?"

"I just received the news that today on the road leading to the city gate, Baoen's group and a group of Terran soldiers fought." A passer-by said to his side after hearing the discussion of the people around him. 's partner said.

"Bauen?" His companion was surprised: "Then these two people are not here to redeem people, right? Anyone who opposes Baoen will have no good end."

"People from outside the island want to poach people from the supervision station, I guess it's unbelievable."

Bandak and Abel silently listened to the comments of the people around them, and snorted coldly in their hearts: It's not enough if we don't take this person away today.

At this time, the waiter who had just left came over with a half-orc man in uniform. Introduced to Bandak and Abel: "This is Captain Vermont who is in charge of this matter. He is a first-level officer in the institute."

"Hello." Fremont stretched out his hand to greet Bundak and Abel.

"Hello," Bandak and Abel responded politely.

Fumund glanced at the onlookers, smiled and suggested to Bandak and Abel: "There are many people here, let's go to the public affairs hall to discuss in detail."

"Okay," Bandak agreed.

Pretending to pass by inadvertently, the passers-by who were eavesdropping on the side felt bored and took the initiative to disperse.

Fumund led the two to a small official hall on the first floor. The layout of the room was roughly the same as the one where Abel met the dwarfs and his party last time, but the space was much smaller.

After signaling the two to take their seats on the leather chairs, Fremont folded his hands on the table and said to Bandak and Abel, "You came here this time for what happened this morning. Right?"

"Yes." Bandak nodded.

"May I ask what punishment the inspection station gave to our soldiers?" Abel asked.

"Three months in prison. After all, the impact of this incident is indeed quite big~IndoMTL.com~Fumund lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said: "The decision is made by the judge. In the supervision center, the judge's right is to far more than all of us. Therefore, even if you come in person today, it is estimated that it is impossible to take people away. "

"Three months? Just for a group fight?" Bandak said angrily: "What about that group? They were just released today, and they deliberately found our people to take revenge. Why should they be held responsible? Get out of here without worry?"

"This" Fremont's face showed an embarrassed expression, explaining: "This group of people was found not guilty in yesterday's case. So the judge just paid attention to them in this dispute. That's all."

"Not guilty?" Abel's eyes widened, and he said, "What about Felit's death, and what about the injuries suffered by the residents? How were they found innocent?"

"Isn't the person who killed Felit a waiter? Those residents didn't come forward to testify, so the attack can't be counted as an attack," Fremont explained slowly.

"Fart!" Bandak pushed the table away and roared at the officer in front of him, "I think your oversight station is to clear the name of those bastards. The homeless people on your island believe this, we don't! You have to hand over people today!"
