Chapter 849-852

Chapter 849: Chat after dinner

"Anyway, from now on, just don't entrust your official affairs to him." Kant explained.

"Yes." Bandak and Abel looked at each other and could only respond helplessly.

No matter what they say, they will not change their views on Felit just because of a small thing. Just because this is what Kant told them. They also had to agree.

After Kant finished his dinner quietly, he was ready to leave.

"Your Majesty, don't you say a few words to the soldiers?" Bandak quickly put down his fork and said in a pleading voice.

"I have already finished my words when I toasted before." Kant smiled slightly and said, "It will be up to you two to say a few more words to the soldiers later."

"Ah, so that's it." Bandak thought of 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 always had a large appetite, which made Abel, who had been sitting aside 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 will have to give supper to the soldiers in the restaurant."

Bandak raised his head from the stacks of dinner plates and retorted: "Don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense," Abel curled his lips and said, "Look, aren't the soldiers waiting for you?"

After hearing this, Bandak looked around and found that most of the soldiers had put down their knives and forks and paid attention to the movements at his table. When Bandak's eyes moved to them, they looked very embarrassed.

"Brother Bandak," Kerry pursed his lips and said hesitantly.

"Kerry," Bandak said with a blush on his cheeks, ashamed, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's okay," Kerry responded.

"I'm full. Let's call the soldiers over and start the assembly." Bandak picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth and said to Abel.

"Gathering here?" Abel asked in surprise.

"Yes, the soldiers are here for dinner." Bandak said with a strange look on his face: "Let them talk to us here for a few words and then go back to their rooms to rest.

"

"If you had this plan, you should have told me earlier." Abel shook his head and said, "If you had told me earlier, why would we be waiting for you? Okay, if you are not full, you can continue to eat. The soldier and I Let’s talk.”

"You" Bandak was speechless for a moment, looking at Abel's back as he stood up and left, he said.

"Everyone! Put the chairs together. Let's chat casually today." Abel called to the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time.

"Yes." The soldiers moved the table away, leaving an open space. Everyone's chairs are lined up side by side.

"Lord Abel, how long will we stay in this town?" After Abel sat down on the front chair, an elf soldier stood up and asked.

"Don't stand up, just sit down and raise your hands." Abel waved his hand, indicating to the soldier to sit down, and then responded: "We can't leave the town until the task at hand is completed. You know What’s the mission?”

"Avenge General DeWitt and General Clemont." A Calradian replied loudly.

"Yes," Abel nodded slightly and said, "But this task needs to be carried out step by step. We stay in this town just to take our first step."

"Lord Abel, what is the first step you mentioned?" a soldier asked.

"This is for your team leader, Kerry, to explain to you." Abel raised his hand, motioning for Kerry to come to him, and introduced: "He is the captain elected by you internally, right? I don’t remember mentioning the candidate for your team leader before we set off.”

"Yes," replied a soldier sitting in the front row: "Kerry is the leader of all of us."

"Well, he will be the commander of this operation." Abel turned sideways and said to Kerry: "Kerry, please introduce the content of this operation."

Kerry pursed his 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 carried vital information. Although he had left the town a few days ago. But his The remnants of the party are still ambushing in the city, and we will pay close attention to the movements in the city in the next few days to find out the escape trend of the organization member."

"Yes." The soldiers responded immediately.

"Well," Abel took over and added: "It's just that the sources of information we have are very limited. We don't know exactly which members are in contact with Pique on weekdays. We can only rely on the information from everyone squatting in the city. At the gathering place, we are looking for information all day long.”

"Starting from tomorrow, everyone's schedule will become very tight. However, the goblins and dwarfs have agreed to join in to help us. So I believe there will be new progress in this task soon. In the meantime, I can only work hard for you all. ." Bandak walked to Kerry's side and said sternly to the soldiers.

"Go all out!" the soldiers raised their hands in response.

"Okay," Abel nodded happily: "Let's talk about how you spent your time here from the coast. How did you get on the boat?"

"The soldiers of the Dragon Clan arranged a boat for us and made a special trip to the coast to pick us up." Kerry found a seat for himself in the crowd and answered after sitting down.

"Where are the crew members on the ship? Are they also homeless people from the Dragon Clan?" Bandak leaned back in his chair and asked.

"No, it's a sea monster." A Calradia responded: "After the Dragon Clan people asked us to get on the ship, they flew away. The crew on the ship didn't pay attention to us after taking us into the cabin."

Abel thought that when he, Dewitt and others returned to the harbor, the ship they took was also operated by the Kraken. He hesitated and asked the elf soldier: "Is it the ship we were on a month ago?"

"Yes." An elf soldier responded: "The furnishings in the cabin are exactly the same."

"I didn't expect that such a private ship would have contact with the Dragon Clan." Abel thought silently.

"Have you ever been on this ship before?" Bandak asked curiously.

"Yes." Abel nodded: "After rescuing the dwarfs, we took this ship back to the harbor. DeWitt and Clemont were still there at that time. The quality of the ship was not very good. It seems to be an old boat for many years.”

Chapter 850: The mission the soldier received

"Did you encounter any trouble when you were on the boat?" Bandak asked the soldiers worriedly.

"No." Kerry shook his head and said, "Although those crew members don't pay much attention to us, they still take care of us in terms of diet."

"Well, that's good." Bandak nodded.

The group of people began to chat about their experiences, and Bandak kept the fact that he was bewitched when talking about his experiences in the small town.

"That dark side member actually fought against Lord Bandak?" a soldier exclaimed.

"Well, Peake is an extremely dangerous person." Bandak said: "Your task is only to search for information and to track the movements of the targeted people. Do not take the initiative to fight with Peake."

"Yes." the soldiers replied.

"Okay, it's getting late now." Abel looked up at the clock on the wall and told the soldiers: "Everyone, please go back to your room and rest. Action will begin tomorrow."

"Yes." The soldiers returned the dining chairs and dining table to their original positions, walked in groups to Bandak and others, bid them farewell, and left the restaurant.

"Let's go back and rest quickly." After seeing Kerry off, Bandak turned around and said to Abel.

"You can't do it, you still have to drink medicine." Abel glanced at Bandak and reminded: "I have already given the medicine to the clerk in the kitchen. The medicine should be cooked by now."

"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 are still changing your clothes," Abel said, "This is just a small matter. The most important thing is that you go and drink medicine now. Brother, don't forget that there is a countdown bomb installed in your body."

"Okay." Bandak smiled and nodded: "Then I'll go to the kitchen first."

"Yes." After walking for a while, Abel turned around and nodded to him. After seeing Bandak turn around 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 ears through the crack in 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 turned back to his previous position with trust and asked Abel, "Where is Bandak?"

"He is probably drinking medicine at the cafe in the lobby now." Abel replied.

"Yes." Kant nodded and said, "You have to remind him about this. Otherwise, with his memory, it is almost impossible to take medicine on time."

"Your Highness knows the commander very well." Abel chuckled and walked to Kant's side: "Your Highness, why haven't you gone back to your room to rest?"

"I've almost rested today." Kant shook his head and said, "There are still many things to do tomorrow, and I have to prepare in advance. By the way, have you told the soldiers what the next task is?"

"Well, I roughly said something." Abel nodded: "They have gone back to their rooms to rest, probably to conserve their energy for tomorrow's mission."

"Well, you should go to bed early. You have been running around all day today." After hearing Abel's answer, Kant lowered his head with relief and ordered.

"Your Highness, please go to bed early." Abel did not disturb Kant's preparations anymore, but left a warning and turned around and walked into his bedroom.

After hearing the door closing in the bedroom, Kant put down his pen and thought quietly.

After a while, Bandak also walked outside the door. After Kant heard his familiar cough, he stood up consciously and walked to the door to open the door for him.

"Your Highness, why are you still in the main hall?" Bandak asked doubtfully after walking through the door.

"I can't sleep, so I plan to take this time to sort out the news on hand. After all, you will start performing tasks in the town tomorrow." Kant made himself a pot of hot tea and returned to the tea table with the teapot. , answered.

"It's really hard, Your Highness." Bandak sat down at the tea table and said, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Kant raised his head and looked at him with a smile, and said: "You only need to worry about whether you can live on the street tomorrow. I'm just sorting it out."

"I heard Abel say that sometimes he would see you still working until late at night." Bandak asked worriedly: "Your Highness, we are worried about your health."

"It's okay." Kant pointed to his chest and said, "If my body can't hold it anymore, it will tell me."

"Yes." Bandak nodded silently, his eyes showing uncontrollable worry.

"Okay, don't sit here with me. Go back to the house and rest." Kant said, "Aren't you taking medicine now? The effect of the medicine will also fluctuate according to the body's work and rest patterns. In this regard, You have to pay more attention to yourself.”

"Yes." Bandak smacked his lips as he relished the bitter taste of the medicine, "However, this medicine is really bitter to take. I almost couldn't swallow it."

"Many people have to endure much more hardships than these medicines in order to survive." Kant warned: "You can't delay, you must take medicine on time every day. I will let Abel supervise you."

"Yes." Bandak smiled slightly and said, "Then I won't disturb your majesty while you handle your official business."

"Yeah." Kant responded with a slight nod without raising his head.

After Bandak left, the information in hand was almost completed by Kant. Kant walked to the window of the main hall and looked at the street scene downstairs: Most of the entrances on this street are self-employed hotels. There were not many businesses and homeless people wandering the streets. Moreover, it was almost early in the morning, and most people had returned to their temporary hotels.

Kant raised his head and glanced at the volcano in the distance. From his perspective, the entire volcano was captured in his eyes.

In contrast to the dark streets of the town, the halfway up the volcano is always brightly lit late at night. The Goblin Kingdom is not among the lights. Their territory is on the south side of the mountain. Standing at the foot of the mountain, it is impossible to observe the movements of the Goblin clan.

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 breeze on an early spring night is still a bit chilly. Kant lowered his eyes, extinguished the candlestick, and walked back to his bedroom.

Chapter 851: Invitation from the hotel owner

The next morning, Abel and Bandak got up early. Responsible for waking up the rest of the soldiers.

After finishing washing, 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 table that Kant had placed on the tea table the night before, and walked out of 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 hard on the door.

"Who?" Kant was suddenly awakened from his sleep, and his mood couldn't help but become a little more impatient. After getting up, he walked to the entrance and stopped, asking with a somewhat impatient tone.

"Lord Kangkangde?" The waiter stood outside the door and replied timidly: "There is a letter from the Goblin Kingdom."

"Oh." Kant immediately cheered up after hearing the word 'goblin'. Opening the door, he stretched out his hand to the waiter and said, "Give it to me."

"Yes." The waiter carefully placed the newly arrived letter in his hands and responded.

"Thank you for your hard work." Kant looked down at the address written on the surface of the envelope and said to the waiter.

"It's okay," the waiter asked hesitantly: "Master Kangkangde, do you need to prepare breakfast for you? Although, it is almost noon now."

"No, I will go downstairs for lunch later." Kant was anxious to check the contents of the letter, and then said goodbye to the waiter: "Please go slowly."

"Okay," the waiter responded softly after seeing the guest room door being closed in front of him with a "bang!"

When Kant walked back to the main hall, he glanced at the clock hanging in the entrance hall: It was indeed twelve o'clock noon now.

After tearing open the envelope with his bare hands and roughly reading the content of Gilbert's reply in the letter, Kant finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the bathroom to start washing up.

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 surveillance, and that he would pay more attention to the news coming out of the surveillance post.

The fact that this animal trainer was involved with the internal staff of the inspection station seemed to surprise Gilbert. So I specifically mentioned this in the letter.

After Kant washed his face, he received the letter from Gilbert in his arms, walked out of the guest room, and went to the restaurant to eat.

The service of the restaurant is divided into ordering type and self-service type.

Kant strolled to the ordering area and asked the waiter to write down the menu. Then I chose 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 seat at the table.

Kant didn't really like eating in front of strangers. So I walked over to the empty dining table and sat down. Looking at the scenery on the horizon, I passed the time before lunch.

At some point, when I was alone at the dinner table, there was another person.

Kant frowned slightly and looked at the orc sitting opposite him: he found that this man looked familiar, and when he spoke, he immediately recognized his identity.

"Lord Kant, what a coincidence." The hotel owner said with a smile: "When I walked into this restaurant, I noticed that 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 you, the boss, in the hotel."

"What's so rare about this?" The innkeeper waved his hand with a smile and asked, "Why are you alone, Mr. Kant? Where are Mr. Bandak and Mr. Abel?"

"They are out on business." Kant replied simply.

"I heard that your highness has brought a lot of business to our hotel." The hotel changed the topic and continued: "The environment of our hotel can only be regarded as passable. You can relax and arrange soldiers to move in. It’s truly an honor for us.”

"This is also because the environment of the hotel is really good." Kant said, "Besides, I still hope to be closer to the soldiers."

"Yeah." The hotel owner said, "I've been busy outside these days, and Felit has been greeting a few of them on my behalf. It's really a pity."

"Nothing." Kant looked towards the semi-open kitchen, where his steak was sizzling in the pot.

"Lord Kant, do you have any plans for today?" The hotel owner glanced at Kant's face and suggested, "I happen to have some free time, so I can take you around the city."

"Is that so?" Kant turned his attention to the hotel owner again and asked unexpectedly: "If you, boss, are willing to serve as a tour guide, I will naturally be very happy."

"Then it's agreed." The innkeeper grinned and said, "We will set off after finishing the meal."

"Okay." Kant nodded and agreed, "Thank you for your consideration."

Not long after, Kant's steak set was served to the table. The hotel owner asked the waiter to go to the wine store and get a bottle of red wine.

Chatting with Kant while drinking and eating.

After lunch, Kant noticed that the innkeeper had always controlled the rhythm of the dinner table. Such traits are 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 innkeeper suggested to Kant after taking the last sip of wine.

"But, why don't you take a rest?" Kant said worriedly.

He had been sitting there for a while while waiting for the innkeeper. If the hotel owner plans to leave immediately after dinner, the exercise after the meal may put a burden on his body.

"Sir, you don't have to worry." The innkeeper said understandingly: "My stomach has been filled with food all these years. Making full use of time is much more important than this."

"Okay." Kant did not continue to persuade with reason, but agreed with the hotel owner's approach and nodded.

The two walked outside the hotel door and got into the hotel owner's exclusive carriage.

"Although this town is not big, there are quite a lot of places for people to visit." The innkeeper sat in the carriage and introduced to Kant: "With this carriage today, I can take your highness around."

"What's the interesting thing you said?" Kant asked.

"It depends on personal preferences. If we talk about places that suit His Highness Kant's status," the hotel owner said, "There are only three or four. First, I will take Your Highness to the memorial hall in the city. The history of the town The treasures are all 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 homeless people of various races, the legends created within hundreds of years are enough. It’s rich.”

"Well," Kant nodded: "I am indeed a little interested in this aspect. Boss, you must have a good vision."

"Haha," the hotel owner said with a chuckle: "I can't say that I have good taste, but this exhibition hall is really worth seeing. And the newcomers who have just arrived on the island are not very familiar with this area, so I just want to introduce it to you, Your Highness. have a look."

"Thank you for the invitation." Kant replied politely.

The innkeeper told the coachman the address of his destination before getting on the bus. After an hour and a half of continuous movement, 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 was discovered that the observation operations of Calradia and the Elves had become active. He didn't look away until the crowds on both sides of the road became increasingly sparse.

"Your Highness, we are here." The innkeeper said to Kant.

Kant nodded and followed the innkeeper out of the carriage. With the groom's hand in hand, he stepped out of the carriage.

When he first saw the appearance 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, we did not choose to build it together with the business district when it was built." The hotel owner led Kant into the hall of the exhibition hall and introduced to him: "And, he The most valuable part is not the appearance we have seen before, or the interior decorations.”

"Then what is it?" Kant looked at the face of the hotel owner and asked curiously.

The hotel owner pointed to the marble floor under their feet with a mysterious look on his face and said: "The most valuable things are in the underground of this exhibition hall. The rarest treasures in the exhibition hall are sealed and kept in the basement. We are on the ground here. In the exhibition hall, all you can see are illusory images and some data."

"Is the basement prohibited from entering and exiting 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 exit. This is a contract made hundreds of years ago. However, the exhibits on the ground are enough for us to appreciate. Yes. Some people regard studying the history of the island as their main occupation. They have spent most of their lives in this exhibition hall, but they have not been able to understand the past of these items in all aspects. "

The hotel 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 followed the method taught by the hotel owner and placed his hand in front of a transparent glass cabinet, a suspended An image of an object appeared in front of his eyes, and when he looked carefully, it turned out to be a jade flute. The words that appeared next to Yuxiao recorded the history of such a magical weapon in detail.

"Well." The hotel owner thought for a while and said: "There are many theories spread on the island, the most common of which is that when it was first built, this venue was used as a habitat for gods. This is It comes from the mouth of the Angel Clan, so its credibility is much stronger than other schools. Everyone regards this as the orthodox origin of the pavilion."

"God?" Kant looked at the innkeeper in confusion, and the emotion in his eyes seemed to confirm to him: the God he mentioned was the kind of existence mentioned in common sense.

"Yes." The innkeeper nodded hurriedly and said, "It's the gods. I heard that the God of Earth, Thor, and the God of Peace, Frey, have both been here."

"How did you know?" Kant said hesitantly, trying to understand the facts stated by the hotel owner.

"It was said by the old people who had seen the gods, but that was a story more than two hundred years ago." The hotel owner recalled while stating: "Someone also recorded the scene on the canvas. The painting The image can be seen in the deputy hall.”

"Can you take me to see it?" Kant asked.

"Of course." The hotel owner readily agreed: "Now that we are in the exhibition hall, we must take a look no matter what."

"Thank you." After Kant thanked him, he followed the innkeeper and walked to another exhibition hall next to the main hall.

"Let's see." When the hotel owner entered the side hall, he activated the image switch with his hand.

A huge magic circle appeared in front of the two of them, and the light in the entire 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.

"Bang--" After a loud noise, the magic circle erupted with a burst of golden light.

Kant's vision became brighter, and a huge picture appeared in front of him.

"So beautiful." Kant looked at the portraits in the picture and couldn't help but sigh.

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 spread throughout my body.

Although the scroll only shows the scene of Sol eating, the curves that outline Sol's figure make anyone who sees it unable to help but be fascinated.

The hotel owner standing aside was also immersed in the painting.

The two stayed in the side hall for half an hour before reluctantly leaving.

When he closed the door, Kant said regretfully: "If I could see the appearance of God in person, I would have no regrets in this life."

For a person without religious beliefs, saying such words proves that Kant has been attracted by the scene just now.

"It's a pity that that was the only time a god came to this land." The innkeeper shook his head and sighed.

"Yeah." Kant nodded and said, "It's a pity indeed."

"Perhaps I really shouldn't have brought Your Majesty to see this scene so early." The hotel owner said belatedly: "There is probably only one place in the hotel that can attract Your Majesty right now."

"What?" Kant was immersed in the beauty of the painting at this time. After hearing what the innkeeper said, he raised his head and asked.

"Please come with me." The innkeeper said mysteriously.

Kant followed the hotel owner with a puzzled look on his face and followed the carpet in the main hall to the end of the exhibition hall.

At the end of the exhibition hall is an altar with three huge crystal stones standing on it. But just by looking at it, you can tell that it is a cheap substitute.
