Lord of the Oasis - Chapter 806 - Chapter 835-839
Chapter 835: the first physical examination
“Then do you know how to treat this worm?”Kant asked.
“I don’t know.”The undead shook his head, “I asked pick to release the ‘chant’Worm for me to take a look, and he even threatened me for a while. He said that he wanted to throw his life away or something. In short, he didn’t let me see it.”
Abel looked at Bunduk worriedly and asked the undead, “From what you said, Pick seems to be quite familiar with you?”
“He’s alright.”The undead curled his lips, “That kid is quite talented. When he first came to this small town, his second uncle asked me to bring him along. But now, he has become very successful, so he has less contact with me.”
“What do you mean by successful?”Kant asked, puzzled.
The undead looked around, leaned over and whispered to the three, “The relationship between this pick and the law enforcer of the town’s inspection station is not simple.”

After hearing the undead’s words, Abel was a little surprised. He could not help but shout, “Inspection station?”
“Lower Your Voice.”The undead quickly stopped him from asking, he continued, “Although I don’t know how pick managed to get in touch with the people from the monitoring station, I heard that his position in the monitoring station isn’t low. As for which Lord he is, it’s not something we can know.”
“How did you guys get this information?”Kant asked with a frown.
Although he had never met pick before, from the undead’s description, he was able to be recognized by the medicine king at such a young age. Moreover, as a foreigner, he was able to quickly find a backer to protect him in this small town. This Beast Tamer named pick probably wouldn’t do such a stupid thing as taking the initiative to leak the news.
“I heard it from the nomads in the monitoring station,”the undead replied with extreme seriousness. “Those people are all desperadoes. They shouldn’t be able to frame others. “I heard from them that every time pick was caught in prison, someone would respectfully invite him out before he could even smoke a cigarette.”
“This…”Kant muttered in confusion. He still did not want to believe the undead’s words.
……
At this moment, an elf in a doctor’s uniform walked up to them and greeted them, “Are you guys here for the first time?”
“Yes, yes.”Abel was stunned and quickly nodded.
“Come in with me.”The Elf waved at them and said.
“Okay.”Bandark hesitantly glanced at the long line in front of them and asked curiously, “Who are these people in front of us?”
“They are all patients who came here once before. This time, they are here for a follow-up check-up,”the elf casually introduced. “The rules of our clinic are: Patients who come to the clinic for the first time need to undergo a full body check-up. “That is more troublesome. It is better to start preparing earlier.”
“I see. Thank you.”Bunduk nodded.
After walking into the clinic, Abel looked at the Elf who was walking back and forth between the clinic and the pharmacy. He was shocked. The space in the room was much wider than he had imagined. The facilities of the clinic were far more complete than everyone had expected.
The Elf leading the way turned around and looked at the three people. He asked, “May I know who is seeing the patient?”
“Me.”Bunduk took a step forward and raised his hand in response.
“Then please continue walking with me,”the ELF assistant instructed. “The other two, please wait in the hall for a while.”
“Okay. Thank you.”Kant nodded slightly and replied politely.
Before leaving, Bunduk gave the other two a look, indicating that they were at ease.
Abel and Kant gave him a cheering gesture.
After watching Bunduk leave, Abel and Kant found an empty seat in the lounge and sat down. They waited quietly for Bunduk’s physical examination to end.
“Actually, this is the first time I’ve heard of something like a physical examination.”In the midst of boredom, abel took the initiative to strike up a conversation. “When we were enlisted into the troops, there would be an elderly officer who would examine our physique. However, he only used a spell: a halo that would quickly pass over our heads.”
“Being able to use a spell makes the physical examination much more convenient,”Kant commented. “Caradia will set up a military examination, and the national health examination will be arranged once a year.”
“The physique of the human race can be said to be very fragile,”Abel said. “The physical examination here is also carried out using a spell, right? After all, these doctors are all from the Elves.”
“Perhaps, but it should take a longer time.”Kant thought for a moment and said, “Are there any familiar faces in this medical hall?”
Hearing this, Abel straightened his back and turned his head to look around. In the end, he shook his head and said, “No, I feel that the aura of every elf here is very strange.”
“Maybe you can ask about the history of this medical center,”Kant suggested with a smile.
“Sure, but let’s wait until Bunduk’s consultation is over.”Abel nodded and said, “There is only one thing in my mind now.”
Kant nodded gently and didn’t say anything else.
The two stayed in the lounge for about two hours. Before they knew it, it was lunchtime. From time to time, an elf pushed a food cart past them.
Abel twisted his neck and stood up to look out of the window. He found that it was already noon, and the sun was shining in the blue sky.
“I thought we could catch up sooner. It turns out that a physical examination really takes so long.”Abel shook his head and said.
“Bunduk!”At this moment, Kant glanced at Bunduk, who was wearing a patient’s costume, and immediately raised his hand to greet him.
Abel directly went up to him. After seeing the needle mark on Bunduk’s arm, he asked worriedly, “How was the physical examination? Your body isn’t affected, right?”
“I’m fine.”Bunduk shook his head. He walked slowly to Kant’s side.
Kant looked at him carefully for a while and said, “Have you received the results of the examination?”
“No. The results of the examination will be handed over to the doctor directly. During the consultation, the Doctor will pass it to me.”Bunduk looked extremely stunned. After being stunned for a while, he replied.
“What’s wrong with you?”Abel raised his hand and waved it in front of Bunduk, asking with concern.
“During the examination just now, I saw that my blood was green,”Bunduk said with a puzzled expression.
“Green?”Abel and Kant said in shock.
“It can’t be completely said that way.”Bunduk scratched his head and replied with a frown, “It’s just that I discovered that the color of the blood extracted from my body is very strange. It looks like Green.”
“Did the Elf who examined you say anything?”Abel asked.
Chapter 836: Doctor’s advice
“No.”Bunduk sighed and replied, “But when I see the Doctor later, he’ll probably explain it to me.”
The three of them were silent for a while, and the atmosphere became gloomy.
An elf approached them and said to bunduk, “Mr. Bunduk, you can see the Doctor Now.”
“Okay.”Bunduk nodded, stood up and walked to the elf.
“May we accompany him to see the Doctor?”Kant looked at the elf and asked.
“Yes.”The ELF nodded.
Kant stood up and followed behind Bunduk with Abel. The elf assistant led them out of the hall on the first floor of the clinic. They arrived at the consultation room on the second floor.
“Where is this?”Abel asked curiously. The consultation room on the second floor was obviously much quieter than the consultation room on the first floor. There was no crowded flow of people, and each consultation room occupied a very wide area. Plants were even planted in front of the doors of each consultation room, or ferocious beasts were raised.
The Elf did not immediately answer his question. Instead, he walked to a consultation room with a rockery in front of the door and stopped, he began his introduction. “Mr. Bunduk’s condition is quite special. We could only turn him into a special patient without authorization and find the corresponding doctor to see him. Please don’t mind.”
“Of course not.”Kant nodded. In his heart, he silently praised the service attitude of the clinic.
“Please come in, everyone.”The ELF assistant bowed and invited them. “The doctor will arrive soon.”
“The Doctor is not here yet?”Abel asked in puzzlement.
“Yes, because the special-class doctors usually travel outside to diagnose patients. They will only rush back when they encounter special cases.”When the elf assistant said the Word ‘special’.., his eyes lingered on Bunduk for a few seconds.
“Well, thank you for your hard work.”Bunduk bowed slightly and replied.
After the elf assistant sent them through the door, he turned around and went downstairs.
Abel walked at the end of the line and pushed the door to the wall. Kant and Bunduk had already found a bench to sit on.
They saw a small garden that was planted in the corner of the wall and was full of life. Abel said in surprise, “This is so different from what I imagined it to be.”
“Perhaps this is the requirement of a special-class doctor for the environment of the consultation room.”Kant didn’t care much about the special decoration in the room. He casually commented.
“Since that doctor is still on a consultation trip, how does he know about my condition?”Bunduk asked in puzzlement.
“Maybe it’s because of some special contact method.”Abel tilted his head and thought for a while, “I’ve seen some eastern priests before, and they seem to be able to transmit telepathic messages from thousands of miles away,”he said. “From what I’ve heard recently, the dragon race that we’ve met before are also familiar with this ability.”
“Is that so…”Bunduk muttered silently.
Kant glanced at Abel, “It seems that the elves on this island have not only lost their culture, but also their physique. “Perhaps you can learn a technique like this from them. “After you go back, you don’t have to trouble the old Elf King to personally run to the city gate of Caradia if you have anything to do.”
“This…”Abel said hesitantly. However, before he could finish speaking, a powerful aura approached, causing Abel’s heart to beat rapidly.
“Who is it?”Abel turned his head stiffly and looked at the door.
He saw a spirited old man wearing the uniform of the medical center walk in from the hallway.
This elf looked to be almost a hundred years old, one round older than the old elf king. His skin was silver-white like jewelry, and his face was full of wrinkles. However, the sharpness in his pupils was like the precision of a scalpel, as if he wanted to analyze a person from the inside out.
Different from Kant’s aura of a king, this doctor’s temperament was calm and cautious.
“Hello, doctor. I am the patient who is seeing a doctor, Bunduk.”Bunduk took the initiative to step forward and extend his hand.
“Mm.”The Elf Doctor introduced himself. “My name is Brandon. And these two are?”
“They are my… friends.”Bunduk was at a loss for words for a moment. He did not know how to introduce Kant and Abel’s identities. He spoke hesitantly.
“Alright.”Brandon raised his eyes and glanced at Kant and Abel. He nodded slightly. “Since we don’t have much time, let’s quickly get to the main topic.”
“Yes.”Bunduk sat properly on the patient’s seat and nodded in response.
“I’ve already seen the results of your physical examination.”Brandon pulled out a piece of paper, while taking notes, he said, “I think you probably know how your current physical condition is made. However, this is your personal matter. This is not the topic of our discussion.”
“Mm.”Bunduk took the examination report that Brandon handed over casually and read it carefully.
However, he did not understand the data report and the reports on the report. He looked confused.
“You have a very toxic insect in your body. The facilities and reserves of the medical center on the island are not enough to treat you.”Doctor Brandon explained, “There are several solutions for you to consider: first, go home, wait for your death or find a time to commit suicide. There are about two months until the insect eggs completely devour you. “Secondly, find the person who poisoned you and ask him to give you the antidote. “This is my most recommended plan. “Thirdly, carry out the blood exchange with half of the hope.”
“What is blood exchange?”After hearing the first two plans, Bunduk’s face was almost pale. When the Doctor said the word ‘blood exchange’, his eyes lit up and he asked.
The Doctor took a deep breath, he said, “It is to purify the blood in your body through a spell. “This spell can treat any illness. “I need to apply for more experienced doctors to come and help, and you have to pay a corresponding high fee. “Moreover, during this treatment process, the patient will experience extreme pain, and some people will die of pain during the execution of the spell. “We will not make any compensation for this situation.”
“What is the probability of success?”Abel asked in a deep voice. “How high can it be?”
“Fifty percent,”Brandon said expressionlessly.
“If I fail, what will happen to me?”Bunduk lowered his eyes and said.
“I will be devoured by the magic power and die suddenly.”Brandon was silent for a moment before he answered, “You can discuss it first before you make a decision. The cost of the surgery will be one hundred gold coins. I hope you can do it within your ability.”
“Alright, we understand.”Kant nodded.
“Thank you, Doctor Brandon.”Bunduk stood up and said, “We will consider it carefully.”
Chapter 837: Lord who has begun to act
“I will be staying in the town for the next few days. If you have any questions, you can come and ask me anytime.”Brandon’s expression softened, he said, “Actually, there’s nothing wrong with quietly enjoying the last period of time before you lose consciousness. A hundred gold coins is enough for you to live whatever life you want.”
“Mm.”Bunduk nodded silently.
The three of them bade farewell and left the clinic. On the way back to the inn, no one took the initiative to say anything.
It was not until after Bunduk walked into the guest room and went straight to his own bedroom that Kant gave Abel a look, indicating for him to follow.
“Bunduk, what are you doing in the bedroom?”Abel asked softly, pushing open the lightly closed door.
After seeing Bunduk pull out a blade from his suitcase, Abel ran in with a pale face and grabbed Bunduk’s right hand, which was holding the dagger tightly. ‘now that Bunduk has lost his strength…’ In terms of strength, he was no match for Abel, who cultivated both magic and martial arts.
“What are you planning to do?”Abel questioned loudly.
This commotion attracted Kant, who was sitting idly in the main hall. When Kant saw the back of the two in a stalemate, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. In his heart, Bunduk was not a person who would commit suicide. His current actions were really beyond his expectations.
“… I’m sorry.”After a long while.., bunduk threw the dagger in his hand onto the floor and dejectedly made an introduction to Abel and Kant. “I just feel that I’m too decadent. I want to use some external force to raise my mind power.”
“You absolutely can not harm yourself.”Abel stared at Bunduk and said seriously.
“I’m sorry,”Bunduk repeated repeatedly.
“We will find pick. The Dragon Clan, the Midget clan, and the Gnome clan will find us.”Abel took a deep breath, “Even if this pick flies out of the island, I will catch him and ask him to hand over the antidote,”said Abel
“Okay.”Bunduk nodded silently.
“What bad idea did that doctor have? He doesn’t have a hundred percent plan to make the patients fight with their lives,”Abel said angrily. “Let’s not go to that clinic in the future.”
“The voodoo poison has already invaded Bunduk’s blood. This means that we don’t have much time left,”Kant said calmly. “Abel, come and help me grind the ink. I’ll write the letter tonight and get someone to bring it up the mountain.”
“Yes,”Abel replied immediately. Before leaving the room, he picked up the dagger on the floor and brought it to the main hall.
Kant walked to his room and took out a piece of paper, PEN, and ink. He brought it to the living room.
Abel brought the candlestick to the tea table and used it as a light for writing letters.
“Abel, follow me to see the owner of this inn.”After Kant put the two letters in his arms, he instructed Abel.
“Is it really okay to leave Bandark alone in this room?”Abel asked hesitantly.
“If he really wants to do something stupid, we can’t stop him.”Kant’s expression did not change as he replied indifferently.
Although his tone sounded calm, Abel, who had been by Kant’s side for a period of time, could already sense the anger in Kant’s chest. He could only follow Kant’s footsteps timidly and walk out of the guest room.
Bunduk, who had been staying in his own bedroom, slowly got up and walked to the living room after hearing the sound of the door closing at the entrance. He sat down at the tea table and saw the candle holder that was still burning and the open rice paper. Bunduk gently sighed.
“What should I do…”
“Buddy, have you seen your boss?”Abel walked to the counter and asked a waiter who looked unfamiliar.
“The boss is out. What can I do for you two Lords?”The waiter lowered his head and asked.
“We have two letters here that need to be rushed up the mountain,”Kant explained. “See if you can help us find someone who can run errands and bring the letters to the dwarf kingdom. We will be responsible for all the expenses.”
“Lord, are you looking for the midget smiths of the dwarf kingdom?”The waiter asked.
“Yes,”Abel confirmed. “But these two letters need to be sent to different places. The other address is the main city of the Gnome Kingdom.”
“I’m not sure about the situation of the Gnome Kingdom…”the tall attendant scratched his head, “However, it seems that the patriarch of the dwarf kingdom is coming to this small town tomorrow. If you two Lords have any matters, you can make an appointment with the inspection bureau on behalf of someone and tell them in person.”
“I see.”Kant was slightly surprised by the news of the dwarf clansmen going down the mountain. “Is the dwarf clan chief you mentioned the old clan chief?”
“It should be.”The waiter thought for a moment and nodded. “The matter of making an appointment can be left to the shop assistants. However, the two guests must arrive on time when the time comes.”
“Okay, thank you,”Abel agreed. “Then this letter…”
“You have to ask the inn’s manager about the letter,”the waiter said awkwardly. “After all, I don’t know much about the rules and procedures of the teleportation formation.”
“Okay, then please inform us when the inn’s manager returns.”Kant nodded. “We’ll discuss it with him again.”
“I’m sorry.”The waiter bowed and said apologetically.
“It’s alright.”
After Kant and Abel finished explaining everything, they turned around and went upstairs.
“Isn’t the midget clan not very sociable? Why would they suddenly come to the town to participate in the gathering? It’s really too strange,”Abel said in a low voice.
“It’s probably something that we’ve been investigating and have already found some clues. They want to go down the mountain to discuss countermeasures with the nomads of other races,”Kant analyzed. “We’ll probably find out when we meet tomorrow.”
“I hope that we can delay the development of this situation a little. Otherwise, we’ll be forcefully dragged into this storm,”Abel prayed softly.
“Let nature take its course,”Kant said. “After all, we can’t see through the movements of this situation.”
Back in the guest room, Abel heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom, and his nerves immediately tensed up. Before he could take off his shoes, he rushed to the bathroom door and shouted, “Bunduk! Can You Hear Me?”
“I can hear you. I’m in the shower,”Bunduk replied.
Abel let out a sigh of relief and said, “It seems that I’ll have to keep an eye on your movements for the next few days.”
“Why do you think he’ll commit suicide in the bathroom?”Kant, who had already sat down at the tea table, asked curiously.
“I don’t know either.”Abel was unable to say anything for a long time in the face of Kant’s doubts. In the end, he could only shake his head and reply, “Perhaps he didn’t eat lunch and was a little hungry.”
Chapter 838: The Dinner prepared by Volta
After hearing Abel’s answer, Kant glanced at him helplessly and said, “If you have any complaints in your heart, you can just say it. There’s no need to be like this.”
“No, no.”Abel panicked and felt that he had said something wrong. He quickly denied, “I didn’t mean that.”
“Hehe.”Kant laughed softly and said, “I was just joking. After Bunduk comes out of the bathroom, Let’s start ordering.”
“Okay… Okay.”After discovering Kant’s bad taste, Abel had no choice but to surrender.
When he heard the sound of water in the bathroom stop, Abel walked out of the guest room and called for a waiter.
“My Lords, what is it?”The waiter who was summoned hurriedly ran upstairs and asked respectfully.
“We would like to order some dinner. Can you bring the menu up?”Abel asked politely.
“Of course.”The waiter nodded. After a slight bow, he turned around and went downstairs.
Abel stood by the door and waited quietly. When he noticed that Bunduk had walked out of the bathroom, he greeted him. “Bunduk, do you feel hungry? We’re about to order dinner.”
“Dinner?”Bunduk raised his eyebrows and sat down at the tea table. He asked Abel.
“Of course. Don’t you see what time it is?”Abel said. “Speaking of which, we haven’t stopped to rest much today.”
“That’s good too.”Bunduk smiled and said, “You can eat more during dinner.”
Kant heard that Bunduk’s tone was slightly better, and he was no longer as depressed as before, so he was relieved.
“Why has this waiter been gone for so long…”just as Abel was getting impatient from waiting, the waiter who had been here before climbed the stairs on the second floor and walked to the door of the guest room. But there was nothing in his hands.
“Where’s the menu, Please?”Abel asked, puzzled.
“Excuse me, guests.”The waiter peered into the room and noticed that the two people inside were also paying attention to what was happening, he explained, “The owner of our restaurant wants to invite you to dine with him in the restaurant downstairs. He sent me to deliver a message.”
“The owner of the inn…”Abel Thought for a moment and agreed. “Alright then. Please inform the shopkeeper that we will be there shortly.”
“Yes.”The waiter bowed and answered.
After seeing the waiter walk down the stairs, Abel closed the door and said to the other two, “The owner of the inn invited us to dine together.”
“This is not bad. We can ask him to help us deliver the message in person.”Kant nodded. “Everyone, tidy up your clothes and prepare to go to the banquet.”
Bunduk glanced at the bathrobe he was wearing, then quickly walked into his bedroom and changed into the casual clothes he usually wore when he went out.
By the time he walked out of the room, Abel and Kant were already standing at the entrance, waiting.
“Let’s go,”Kant said.
The three of them slowly walked to the restaurant on the first floor. They had already missed their meal time. There were no other diners in the restaurant other than the inn owner who had been waiting.
After walking into the dining table, bunduk sized up the entire table of dishes and said with a grin, “This dinner is too sumptuous.”
“King Kant, Commander Bunduk, General Abel. Nice to meet you. Please take care of me.”The boss smiled warmly and walked forward to greet him.
Kant, who was standing at the front, held the outstretched hand and replied with a smile, “Nice to meet you. May I know your name?”
“I’m just a manager of a small inn. You can call me by my real name.”The inn owner said modestly, “My name is Volt.”
“Hello, Mr. Volta,”Kant said. “Thank you for taking care of me in the past few days.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Please take a seat.”Volta let go of his hand and greeted the three of them.
“There shouldn’t be enough space on this table, right?”Abel looked at the group of waiters who came out with plates and said in surprise.
“What they have in their hands should be desserts prepared after dinner. They won’t take up the space on the table,”Volta explained with a smile.
“I see,”Abel answered in embarrassment.
Usually, Abel’s staple food was vegetables, fruits, and so on. He had naturally ignored the existence of desserts.
“Since the dishes are all served, then please start eating.”Volt waved his hand and asked the waiter to leave. He said to the three people at the table, “If there’s anything, you must be full before you have the energy to talk.”
“Thank you, Mr. Volta.”Abel nodded slightly.
After the four of them raised their glasses and drank the wine before the meal, they began to focus on the food on the table.
Bunduk usually had a big appetite. At this time, his appetite was even bigger, and he began to chop up large pieces of meat.
The three of them had been busy for a whole day. Their mental strength was exhausted, and it was a rare time for them to eat. They appeared relaxed and casual. Although there was only the sound of knives, forks, and dishes clashing, the atmosphere was not awkward.
The inn owner looked at the three people who were eating, and then began to drink happily.
“Mr. Ford, since we have something important to discuss, it’s better to replace wine with tea.”Kant saw that Ford was drinking one cup after another, so he quickly stopped this trend and took the initiative to offer tea to persuade him.
“Yes, yes.”Ford waved his hand embarrassedly and poured out the wine in the cup. After refilling the tea, he said to Kant, “I lost my composure just now. Thank you for reminding me, your Majesty Kant.”
“There’s no need to mind such a small matter.”Kant smiled and said, “Drinking on an empty stomach is indeed harmful to the body…”
“You’re right,”Ford said with a smile. Then, he picked up a brand new knife and fork and began to eat.
After eating and drinking, in order to make up for his previous mistake, Volt took the initiative to ask, “I heard that your highness is looking for someone to send you a letter?”
“Yes.”Kant put down the Teacup, he replied, “Because of an urgent matter, I need to contact a friend of the GNOME country to ask for help. So, I want to see if I can ask boss to find a reliable candidate to do this trip for me.”
“Of course I have a person.”Volt nodded. “However, the road to the Gnome is not so easy to walk on. “Your Majesty, did your friends in the Gnome leave you any keepsakes? “The kind that can be shown to the soldiers guarding the city by the Messenger.”
Kant and Abel looked at each other and recalled in their minds, “We don’t have this thing with us. I don’t think we can give it to you.”
“If that’s the case…”the inn’s owner was troubled. The estate on the volcano was not accessible.
Chapter 839: Preparations before meeting
“Actually, our friend is the king of the Gnome Kingdom, Gilbert.”Kant hesitated for a moment and asked, “If that’s the case, can we think of a way to give him the letter?”
“Your Highness Gilbert?”The inn’s owner’s eyes lit up and said in disbelief, “So the Lords are Friends of Your Highness Gilbert?”
“We can be considered friends…”Abel said helplessly, “Boss, have you thought of a new way?”
“If it’s a letter sent to your highness, Gilbert, of course, we have a way to submit it,”Volt said lightly. “We just need to find a familiar political friend and bring the letter to the palace.”
“That’s Great.”Bunduk said gratefully, “Thank you, Mr. Volt.”
“Lord, I should be the one thanking you for patronizing my shop,”Volt said humbly.
“We came to this small island alone and have no one to rely on. We can only rely on the help of others to carry out the task in hand smoothly. “We will naturally be grateful to everyone who helps us,”Kant replied.
“All of you are magnanimous bigwigs. What you are doing now will definitely be successful,”volt stood up and toasted.
Kant and the others also stood up and drank tea in place of wine.
The dinner ended and the three returned to their rooms. After watching them walk up the stairs, Volt turned around and went back to his room to rest.
“I didn’t expect Gilbert to have such a great reputation in the town after his new position,”Abel said with emotion. “When I met him by the roadside, I didn’t expect this situation at all.”
“That boss is also magnanimous. Ever since we moved in here, he has always been… responsive to our requests.”Bunduk drank some wine during the banquet, and now his consciousness became muddled. He spoke incoherently.
“Gilbert is the emperor of the side that won the Civil War, and his status is naturally much higher than the Lord who naturally inherited the throne in the past,”Kant said. “Moreover, the town’s supervision is now carried out by the Gnome Kingdom, and many merchants in the town rely on the Gnome Kingdom’s power.”
“Mm.”Abel nodded. “Perhaps this is the reason why this kind of rotation system is being implemented.”
Kant smelled the alcohol on Bunduk’s body and immediately went forward to help him up. “I haven’t seen you drink much. How did you get drunk so quickly?”
“The body now… is no longer my body.”Bunduk’s face was flushed with drunkenness as he smiled and said to Kant.
Abel also came over to help Bunduk up. “The special characteristics of Bunduk’s body are indeed gradually disappearing. I should have noticed it when I was riding in the carriage.”
Thinking back to when Bunduk met up with the gnome, his body had already begun to show signs of abnormality.
“It’s alright. Everything will be over soon,”Kant said softly to the drunk Bunduk, as if he was helping a child.
Bunduk’s furrowed brows gradually relaxed as he fell asleep.
“Fortunately, the smell of alcohol on his body isn’t strong. Otherwise, we would have to take care of him while he takes a bath.”Abel placed Bunduk on the bed and turned around to speak to Kant.
“Let’s go out quickly. Today, Bunduk has been tired all day. Let him have a good rest,”Kant called out.
Abel walked to a corner and extinguished the candlestick. Then, he quietly followed Kant out of Bunduk’s bedroom.
When he closed the door, Abel suddenly thought of something and cried out in a low voice, “Oh no, we forgot to tell Bunduk about meeting the Midget clan tomorrow.”
Kant was startled by him. After hearing the whole sentence, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, “It doesn’t matter. Just the two of US will go tomorrow.”
“… That’s good.”Abel nodded.
“It’s getting late. I’ll go back to my room to sleep,”Kant instructed. “You should rest early too.”
As he spoke, he walked into his bedroom and closed the door softly.
Abel shrugged helplessly. He walked to the main hall and put out the candlestick. Then, he began to tidy up his clothes and prepared to take a bath in the bathroom.
When he walked out of the bathroom, he glanced at Kant’s room. The candlelight in the room shone through the gap in the door, making it particularly conspicuous in the darkness.
“It’s always like this…”Abel shook his head and said.
On the days when he slept with Kant and Bunduk, Abel accidentally found that Kant would deal with the documents until three or four o’clock in the morning every night. Every night when he could not sleep, Abel would go to the main hall and pour himself a glass of water. At this time, Abel would meet Kant who was working.
Are all humans like this… Abel, who was lying in bed, thought in his heart.
The next morning.
Bunduk was still in a deep sleep, while Kant and Abel were already sitting at the dining table and quietly eating breakfast.
What woke them up was the sound of a waiter knocking on the door.
The Sleepy Abel opened the door of the guest room and said to the waiter outside the door, “If you can adjust the time to inform us of the news, we will be even happier.”
“I’m sorry, Lord Abel.”The waiter blushed and said apologetically, “We have already contacted the craftsmen of the Midget clan for you. They hope to meet you at 8:30 this morning.”
“So early?”Abel asked in surprise.
“This is the time taken while constantly adjusting the schedule, so…”the waiter explained helplessly.
“It’s okay. I’m just saying.”Bunduk smiled and said, “You can ignore it.”
“Huh?”The waiter was stunned and said, “Since the news has been delivered, I Won’t Disturb Your Rest.”
“You should talk less when you’re not awake.”Kant listened to Abel’s entire story while eating and commented.
“I think so too.”Abel reflected.
The breakfast time between the two ended. Kant wiped the cream from the corner of his mouth with a napkin and said to Abel, “Let’s get ready to go.”
“Okay,”Abel agreed.
Abel walked to his room and took out some coins. When he passed by Bunduk’s bedroom, he tiptoed in to check on Bunduk’s status. After finding out that he was still in a deep sleep, he walked out of the room with ease.
“Is Bunduk still sleeping?”Kant asked softly.
“Yes.”Abel nodded.
“That’s good too. Let him have a good rest.”Kant walked to the entrance and changed into his boots.
When the two of them walked down the stairs, they happened to meet the attendant who came to welcome them.
“Lord, the carriage is ready,”the attendant said.
