Lord of the Oasis - Chapter 801
Chapter 813: The Guild run by the snake-woman
Abel held the bell in his hand and fiddled with it for a while. He smiled and said, “I didn’t expect such a convenient thing to exist in this inn. I really can’t tell just by looking at the inn owner.”
“This rope should be connected to the kitchen,”Kant said. “Come and see what you’ll order for dinner today.”
“Yes.”Abel put down the bell and nodded.
The two sat at the tea table and discussed the dishes for tonight.
“Abel, aren’t you going to order the main dishes? I saw that you only ordered two vegetable salads.”Kant looked at the menu and asked in puzzlement.
“It’s okay. These are my usual main dishes.”Abel smiled and shook his head, “And I’m a vegetarian. Your Majesty Kant, do we need to wake up Commander Bunduk? Because I don’t know what he wants to order.”

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