Chapter 849: chat after a meal
“In short, from now on, don’t entrust your work to him,”Kant instructed.
“… Yes.”Bunduk and Abel looked at each other and could only reply helplessly.
No matter what, they would not change their views on Fellett because of a small matter. It was only because this was Kant’s exhortation to them. They had no choice but to agree.
After Kant quietly finished his dinner, he prepared to leave.
“Your Majesty, aren’t you going to say a few words to the soldier?”Bunduk hurriedly put down his fork and spoke to persuade them to stay.
“When I was toasting earlier, I had already finished speaking.”Kant smiled slightly and said, “Later, the two of you will go and say a few more words to the soldier.”
“Ah, so that’s how it is.”Bunduk recalled the time when he and Abel were absent. He suddenly came to a realization and said, “Alright then, leave the rest to us.”
“Yes.”Kant nodded slightly, then turned around and left.
Bunduk’s appetite had always been very large. This made Abel, who had been sitting by the side waiting for him to finish his meal, very speechless. He said, “Commander, the soldiers are waiting for you to speak. If you continue to eat like this, you’ll have to serve supper to the soldier in the dining hall.”
Bunduk looked up from the pile of plates and retorted, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
“I’m not talking nonsense.”Abel curled his lips and said, “Don’t you see that the soldier is waiting for you?”
Hearing that, Bunduk looked around and found that most of the soldier put down their knives and forks and paid attention to the movements of his table. When Bunduk’s gaze moved to them, he appeared very uneasy.
“Brother Bunduk…”Kerry pursed his lips and said hesitantly.
“Kerry.”Bunduk’s face was flushed red. He said in embarrassment, “Sorry to have kept you waiting.”
“It’s okay,”Kerry replied.
“I’m full. Let’s call the soldier over and start the gathering.”Bunduk picked up a napkin and wiped the corner of his mouth. He said to Abel.
“Gather here?”Abel asked in surprise.
“Yes. The soldier is here for dinner,”Bunduk said with a strange expression. “Let them talk to us here for a while and then go back to their rooms to rest.”
“If you had such plans, you should have said so earlier.”Abel shook his head and said, “If you had said so earlier, why would we have waited for you? Alright, if you’re not full, you can continue eating. I’ll let the soldier know.”
“You…”Bunduk was at a loss for words for a moment. He looked at Abel’s back as he stood up and left.
“Everyone! Put your chairs together. We’ll have a casual chat today,”Abel called out to the soldier who had been waiting for a long time.
“Yes.”The soldier moved the tables away, leaving an empty space. Everyone’s chairs were arranged side by side.
“Lord Abel, how long are we going to stay in this town?”An Elven soldier stood up and asked after Abel sat down in the front row of chairs.
“Don’t stand up. Just Sit and raise your hand.”Abel waved his hand, indicating for the soldier to sit down, he replied, “We can only leave the small town after the task at hand is completed. Do you know what the task is?”
“Revenge for General Dewitt and General Claremont,”a Caradia replied loudly.
“Yes.”Abel nodded slightly and said, “But this task needs to be carried out step by step. We stayed in this small town to take our first step.”
“Lord Abel, what is the First Step You Said?”A soldier asked.
“This, your leader, Kerry, will explain it to you.”Abel raised his hand, he motioned Kerry to come to his side and made an introduction. “He is the captain elected by your internal department, Right? I don’t remember mentioning the candidate to lead the team for you before we left.”
“Yes,”a soldier sitting in the front row replied. “Kerry is the leader of all of us.”
“Yes, he will be the commander of this operation.”Abel turned to Kerry and said, “Kerry, please make an introduction. The content of this operation.”
Kerry pursed his lips and nodded. Looking at all the soldier.., he said, “King Kant and the others found a member of the dark side organization in the town. He was carrying vital intelligence. “Although he left the town a few days ago. “His remaining party is still lying in ambush in the city. In the next few days, we will pay close attention to the movements in the city. “Find out the movement of that organization member.”
“Yes,”the soldier immediately replied.
“Yes,”Abel continued, he added, “It’s just that our sources of information are very limited. “We don’t know exactly which members are in contact with pick. We can only rely on you to stay at the information gathering place in the city and gather information around the clock
“Starting from Tomorrow, everyone’s schedule will be very tense. “However, the Gnome and midget clan has already agreed to join in to help us. “Therefore, I believe that there will be new developments in this mission soon. “During this period, we can only trouble everyone.”Bunduk walked to Kerry’s side, he said to the soldier with a serious expression.
“Go All Out!”The soldier raised his hand in response.
“Alright.”Abel nodded with gratification. “Let’s talk about how you have been during this period of time when you came from the coast. How did you get on the ship?”
“The dragon soldier arranged a ship for us to specially drive to the coast to pick us up.”Kerry found a seat for himself in the crowd. After sitting down, he replied.
“What about the crew on the ship? Are they nomads of the Dragon Clan as well?”Bunduk leaned against the back of his chair and asked.
“No, it’s the sirens,”a Caradia replied. “After the Dragon Clan called for us to get on the ship, they flew away. After the crew on the ship brought us into the cabin, they didn’t bother with us anymore.”
Abel recalled that when he, Devitt, and the others had returned to the harbor, the ship they were on was also operated by the sirens. He hesitantly asked the elven soldier, “Is it the ship we were on a month ago?”
“Yes,”an elven soldier replied. “The layout of the cabin is exactly the same.”
“I didn’t expect such a private ship to have dealings with the dragon race,”Abel muttered.
“Have you been on this ship before?”Bunduk asked curiously.
“Yes.”Abel nodded. “After we rescued the Midget clan, we took this ship back to the harbor. At that time, Devitt and Claremont were still there. “The quality of the ship isn’t very good. It seems to be an old ship.”
Chapter 850: Soldier’s mission
“Then when you were on the ship, did you encounter any trouble?”Bunduk asked the soldier worriedly.
“No.”Kerry shook his head and said, “Although that group of crew members didn’t pay much attention to us, they still took care of us in terms of food and drinks.”
“En, that’s good.”Bunduk nodded.
The group of people began to talk about their own experiences. When Bunduk talked about his experiences in the small town, he kept the fact that he had been poisoned.
“That dark side member actually fought with Lord Bunduk?”A soldier exclaimed.
“Yes, Pick is an extremely dangerous person,”Bunduk said. “Your mission is only to search for information, and you are responsible for tracking the movements of the target. Do not take the initiative to fight with pick.”
“Yes,”the soldier replied.
“Alright, it’s getting late.”Abel raised his head and looked at the clock on the wall. He instructed the soldier, “Everyone, go back to your rooms and rest. The operation will begin tomorrow.”
“Yes.”The soldier placed the dining chairs and tables back in their original positions. They walked to Bunduk and the others in groups of three to five. After bidding them farewell, they left the dining hall.
“Let’s go back and rest as well.”After sending off Kerry, Bunduk turned around and said to Abel.
“You can’t. You still have to drink the medicine.”Abel glanced at Bunduk and reminded him, “I’ve already given the medicine to the staff in the kitchen. Now, the medicine should be ready.”
“Oh right, I almost forgot about that.”Bunduk patted his head and responded, “Thank you. When did you give the medicine to the staff?”
“When you were still changing your clothes,”Abel said, “This is just a small matter. The most important thing is for you to drink the medicine now. “Brother, don’t forget that you have a bomb in your body that is counting down.”
“Okay.”Bunduk nodded with a smile. “Then I’ll go to the kitchen first.”
“Okay.”After walking for a while, Abel turned around and nodded at him. After seeing Bunduk turn around and go downstairs, he walked to the door of the guest room. He raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.
“Who is it?”Kant’s voice reached Abel’s ears through the crack in the door.
“Your Highness, I am Abel,”Abel replied.
“Wait a minute.”Kant walked slowly to the door and unlocked the door. When he saw that the person standing outside the door was indeed Abel, he turned back to his previous position with trust and asked Abel, “Where is Bunduk?”
“He is probably drinking medicine at the tea table in the lobby,”Abel replied.
“Yes.”Kant nodded and said, “I have to rely on you to remind him about this matter. Otherwise, with his memory, it is almost impossible for him to take his medicine on time.”
“Your Highness really understands the commander too well.”Abel laughed and walked to Kant’s side. “Your Highness, why haven’t you gone back to your room to rest?”
“I’ve rested enough for today.”Kant shook his head and said, “I still have many things to do tomorrow. I have to prepare in advance. By the way, have you told the soldier what the next mission is?”
“Yes, I gave a rough description.”Abel nodded and said, “They have gone back to their rooms to rest now. I guess they are saving their energy for tomorrow’s task.”
“Yes, you should rest early too. You’ve been on the road for the whole day.”Kant lowered his head and instructed after hearing Abel’s answer.
“Your Highness, you should rest early too.”Abel did not disturb Kant’s work that he was preparing. Instead, he left a reminder and turned around to walk into his bedroom.
After hearing the sound of the bedroom door closing, Kant put down his pen and ink and quietly thought about something.
After a while, Bunduk also walked to the door. When Kant heard the familiar cough that belonged to him, he stood up and walked to the door to open it for him.
“Your Highness, why are you still in the main hall?”After walking into the door, Bunduk asked in puzzlement.
“I couldn’t sleep, so I planned to use this time to sort out the information I have. After all, you will start carrying out the mission in the town tomorrow.”Kant made himself a pot of hot tea, when he returned to the tea table with the teapot, he answered.
“It’s been hard on Your Highness.”Bunduk sat down at the tea table and said, “Is there anything I can help you with?”
Kant smiled and looked up at him. “You just need to worry about whether you will be able to last on the street tomorrow. I will just do some simple organizing.”
“I heard from Abel that sometimes he will see you working until late at night.”Bunduk asked worriedly, “Your Highness, we are worried about your body.”
“It’s okay.”Kant pointed to his chest and said, “If my body can’t hold on anymore, it will tell me.”
“Okay.”Bunduk nodded silently, his eyes showing uncontrollable worry.
“Okay, don’t just sit here with me. “Go back to your room and rest,”Kant said. “Aren’t you drinking medicine now? “The effects of the medicine will rise and fall according to the body’s schedule. “You have to pay more attention to this.”
“Yes.”Bunduk recalled the bitter taste of the medicine and said, “However, this medicine is really bitter. I almost couldn’t swallow it.”
“Many people suffer much more bitter than these medicines in order to survive,”Kant said. “You can’t delay. You have to take the medicine on time every day. I’ll let Abel supervise you.”
“Yes.”Bunduk smiled. “Then I will not disturb your Majesty’s business.”
“Yes.”Kant did not raise his head. He nodded slightly in response.
After Bunduk left, the information in his hands was almost finished by Kant. Kant walked to the window in the main hall and looked at the street scene downstairs. The doors on this street were mostly self-operated inn. There were not many merchants and nomads strolling on the street. Moreover, it was already close to midnight. Most of the people had returned to their temporary inn.
Kant raised his head and looked at the volcano in the distance. From his point of view, the entire appearance of the volcano was seen.
In contrast to the pitch-black streets of the small town, halfway up the volcano, it was always brightly lit in the middle of the night. The Gnome Kingdom was not in the middle of the lights. Their territory was on the south side of the mountain. Standing on the estate at the foot of the mountain, it was impossible to observe the movements of the Gnome tribe.
Kant stood in front of the window for a long time. When a cold wind blew, he wrapped his cotton robe tightly.
The Night Wind in the early spring night still carried some coldness. Kant’s eyes darkened. He extinguished the candle holder and walked back to his bedroom.
Chapter 851: Inn owner’s invitation
The next morning, Abel and Bunduk got up early. They were responsible for waking the other soldier.
After washing up, Bunduk took the lead and rushed out of the room. He found the room where the soldier lived and knocked on the door.
Abel landed behind him. He picked up the summary table Kant had left on the tea table the night before and walked out of the room.
Kant was still in a deep sleep. Two hours later, a waiter walked to the guest room and knocked on the door.
“Who is it?”Kant was suddenly woken up from his sleep. He could not help but become impatient. After getting up, he stopped near the entrance and asked with an impatient tone.
“Lord… Lord Kant?”The waiter stood outside the door and answered timidly, “There is a letter from the Gnome Kingdom.”
“OH.”When Kant heard the word ‘GNOME’, his mind power immediately perked up. Opening the door, he reached out his hand to the waiter and said, “Give it to me.”
“Yes.”The waiter carefully handed over the letter that had just arrived with both hands and replied.
“Thank you for your hard work.”Kant lowered his head and looked at the address written on the surface of the envelope as he said to the waiter.
“It’s okay.”The waiter hesitated and asked, “Lord… Lord Kant, do you need me to prepare breakfast for you? Although, it’s almost noon now…”
“No, I’ll go downstairs for lunch later.”Kant was in a hurry to check the contents of the letter, so he said goodbye to the waiter, “Please Take Care.”
“Okay…”the waiter replied softly when he saw the door of the guest room was closed in front of him with a bang.
When Kant walked back to the main hall, he glanced at the clock hanging in the hallway: it was indeed noon.
He tore open the envelope with his bare hands. After roughly reading the contents of Gilbert’s reply in the letter, Kant finally let out a sigh of relief. He walked to the bathroom and began to wash up.
Gilbert’s reaction was the same as what Kant had chosen in his mind: he had promised to arrange for the soldier in the city to assist Kant and the others in monitoring, and he would pay more attention to the news from the monitoring station.
Gilbert seemed to be very surprised that this Beast Tamer was involved with the internal staff of the monitoring station. So he specifically wrote about this in the letter.
After Kant washed his face, he put the letter sent by Gilbert into his arms, walked out of the guest room, and walked to the dining hall to eat.
The service in the dining hall was divided into ordering and self-service.
Kant strolled to the ordering area and called for the waiter to record the menu. Then, he chose a seat by the window and waited quietly.
It was still an hour or two before lunch time. There were only a few people in the huge restaurant. Each of them occupied a better table.
Kant didn’t like to eat in front of strangers. So he walked to the empty table and sat down. He looked at the scenery in the sky and passed the time before lunch.
He did not know when, but there was another person at the table.
Kant frowned slightly and looked at the orcs sitting opposite him. He found that this person looked familiar. When the orcs opened their mouths, he immediately recognized them.
“Lord Kant, what a coincidence,”the inn owner said with a smile. “When I walked into this restaurant, I noticed that you were also here. I was wondering if I could have lunch with you.”
“Of course,”Kant replied with a smile. “After all, it’s rare to see you in the inn.”
“What’s so rare about that?”The inn owner waved his hand with a smile and asked, “Lord Kant, why are you alone? Where are Lord Bunduk and Lord Abel?”
“They went out on business,”Kant answered simply.
“I heard that your Highness brought a lot of business to our inn.”The inn changed the topic, kant continued, “The environment of our inn is only passable. It’s our honor that you can rest assured and arrange for the soldiers to stay in the inn.”
“This is also because the environment of the inn is really good,”Kant said. “Besides, I still hope to be closer to the soldier.”
“Yes.”The inn owner said, “I’ve been busy outside these few days. It’s really a pity that filet is taking care of you on my behalf.”
“It’s nothing.”Kant looked at the semi-open kitchen. His steak was sizzling in the pot.
“Lord Kant, do you have any plans today?”The inn owner glanced at Kant’s face and suggested, “I happen to have some free time. I can take you to the city for a walk.”
“Is that so?”Kant shifted his gaze back to the inn owner and asked in surprise, “If you are willing to be a tour guide, I will naturally be very willing.”
“Then it’s settled.”The inn owner grinned and said, “We will set off after we finish our meal.”
“Okay.”Kant nodded and agreed, “Thank you for taking care of me.”
Not long after, Kant’s steak set was served on the table. The inn owner instructed the waiter to fetch a red wine from the wine warehouse.
While chatting with Kant, they drank and ate.
After lunch, Kant noticed that the inn owner had been controlling the rhythm of the table. Such a trait was very common among businessmen. Since Kant was born, he had dealt with countless businessmen and became familiar with their procedures.
“Lord Kant, let’s go,”the inn owner suggested to Kant after drinking the last mouthful of wine.
“But, aren’t you going to rest for a while?”Kant said worriedly.
He had been sitting idly for a while while waiting for the inn owner. If the inn owner intended to leave the table immediately after dinner, the exercise after dinner might put a burden on his body.
“Lord, you don’t have to worry.”The inn owner said with understanding, “My stomach has long been unbreakable by the meals over the years. Making full use of time is much more important than this.”
“Alright then.”Kant did not continue to reason with him, but agreed with the inn owner’s approach and nodded.
The two walked to the inn’s door and sat in the inn owner’s exclusive carriage.
“Although this town isn’t big, there are quite a lot of places for people to visit.”The inn’s owner sat in the carriage and made an introduction to Kant. “Today, with this carriage, I can take your highness around.”
“What interesting places are you talking about?”Kant asked.
“This depends on one’s personal interests. “If we talk about places that Fit Your Highness Kant’s identity,”the inn’s owner said, “There are only three or four. First, I’ll Take Your Highness to the Memorial Hall in the city. “All the historical treasures of the town are hidden there.”
“Historical treasures?”Kant asked in surprise after hearing that.
Chapter 852: The Domain where God once descended
“Yes, although the history of this town is not long.”The inn owner saw that Kant was interested, so he explained in detail, “But because there are nomads of various races entrenched, the legends created within a few hundred years can be considered to be rich enough.”
“Yes.”Kant nodded and said, “I am indeed a little interested in this aspect. Boss, you must have a good eye.”
“Hehe.”The inn owner chuckled and said, “It’s not that I have a good eye, but this exhibition hall is indeed worth a visit. “Moreover, the newcomers who have just arrived on the island are not very familiar with this area, so I want to introduce it to Your Highness.”
“Thank you for your invitation,”Kant replied politely.
Before boarding the carriage, the inn owner told the driver the address of the destination. The carriage moved forward for one and a half hours and stopped in front of a magnificent building.
During this period, Kant kept looking out of the window and saw many familiar faces among the troops. He found that the observation of Caradia and the Elves had become active. Only when the people on both sides of the road became less and less did they look away.
“Your Highness, we are here,”the inn owner said to Kant.
Kant nodded and followed the inn owner out of the carriage. With the help of the coachman, they got off the carriage.
When Kant first saw the appearance of the exhibition hall, he thought that he was in front of a classical palace.
“This is the most valuable building in the town. Because of the huge project, it wasn’t built together with the commercial area when it was first built.”The inn owner led Kant into the hall of the exhibition hall, then, he introduced to Kant, “Moreover, the most valuable thing about him isn’t the exterior that we saw before or the interior decoration.”
“Then what is it?”Kant looked at the inn owner’s face and asked curiously.
The inn owner pointed at the marble floor under their feet with a mysterious expression, he said, “The most valuable thing is in the underground of this exhibition hall. “The most uncommon treasures in the exhibition hall are all sealed and stored in the basement. “What we can see in the exhibition hall above the ground is only illusory images and some data.”
“Is the basement forbidden for sightseeing?”Kant continued to ask.
“Yes.”The inn owner answered, “Only the leader of the dwarves, dwarves, and Gnome races have the right to enter and leave. “This is a contract signed hundreds of years ago. “But the exhibits on the ground are enough for us to enjoy. “Some people regard studying the history of the island as their main business. They have stayed in this exhibition hall for more than half of their lives, but they still can’t understand the past of these items in every aspect.”
The inn owner walked in front of Kant and showed him the sightseeing process in this exhibition hall.
“When this exhibition hall was first built, what kind of place was it used as?”Kant placed his hand in front of a transparent glass cabinet according to the method taught by the inn owner, an image of a suspended object appeared in front of his eyes. Looking carefully, it was actually a jade flute. The words that appeared beside the jade flute recorded the history of such a magical artifact in detail.
“About that.”The inn owner thought for a while, he said, “There are many rumors circulating on the island, and the most common one is that this pavilion was used as the habitat of a God when it was first built. “This came from the mouths of the angels, so its credibility is much higher than other schools. “Everyone regards this as the Orthodox origin of the exhibition hall.”
“God?”Kant looked at the inn owner in Puzzlement. The emotion in his eyes seemed to confirm that the god he spoke of was the kind of existence mentioned in common sense.
“Yes.”The inn owner hurriedly nodded and said, “It is a god. I heard that the god of Earth, Thor, and the god of peace, Frey, have been here.”
“How… Do You Know?”Kant tried to understand the truth of the inn owner’s words, and said hesitantly.
“The old people who have seen the god said it, but that’s a story from more than two hundred years ago.”The inn owner recalled, while saying, “I also need someone to record the scene on the canvas. The image of the painting can be seen in the auxiliary hall.”
“Can you take me to see it?”Kant asked.
“Of course,”the inn owner readily agreed. “Since we are in the exhibition hall, we have to take a look no matter what.”
“Thank you.”After thanking him, Kant followed the inn owner’s footsteps and walked to another exhibition hall beside the main hall.
“See.”When the inn owner entered the side hall, he activated the image switch with his hand.
A huge magic array appeared in front of the two of them. All the light in the room was instantly sucked away.
The room was pitch-black. The Magic Array in the air began to rotate slowly. Kant took a deep breath and quietly waited for the image to appear.
“Deng –“after a loud sound, the magic array exploded with a burst of golden light.
Kant’s field of vision became bright, and a huge painting appeared in front of him.
“So Beautiful.”Kant looked at the portrait in the painting and could not help but sigh.
The Golden Light from the painting covered his entire body. Kant felt that his mind suddenly became clear, illuminated by the Golden Light. A warm feeling spread throughout his body.
Although the scroll only depicted the scene of Thor eating, the curves that outlined Thor’s body made anyone who saw it unable to help but be fascinated.
The inn owner who stood at the side was also immersed in the scroll.
The two of them stayed in the side hall for half an hour before reluctantly leaving.
When the door was closed, Kant said regretfully, “If I can personally see the appearance of God, I can be considered to have no regrets in this life.”
For a person who did not have any religious beliefs, saying such words proved that Kant had been attracted by the scene just now.
“It’s just a pity that it was the only time that a god had descended on this land.”The inn owner shook his head and sighed.
“Yes.”Kant nodded and said, “It is indeed a pity.”
“Perhaps I really shouldn’t have brought his majesty to see this scene so early.”The inn owner said with hindsight, “Right now, there is probably only one place in the inn that can still attract his majesty.”
“What?”Kant was immersed in the beauty of the painting. After hearing the inn owner’s words, he raised his head and asked.
“Please follow me,”the inn owner said mysteriously.
Kant followed behind the inn owner with a puzzled look. He walked along the carpet in the main hall to the end of the exhibition hall.
At the end of the exhibition hall was an altar with three huge crystals on it. At a glance, it is obvious that they are cheap substitutes.
