Lord of the Oasis - Chapter 810 - Chapter 853-856
Chapter 853: The History of the three families of Fu Di
“What is this?”Kant asked curiously.
“This is the treasure of this exhibition hall,”the inn owner said with a fascinated look, “It is said that these three crystals contain the strength to destroy the world. A few hundred years ago, a hermit brought them to this desolate island, intending to bury them forever. He even brought the three crystals into the volcano’s body. However, he underestimated the toughness of the crystals. The moment these crystals were thrown into the lava, the mountain around the volcano became a hell on Earth. Not only the beasts hidden in the forest, all the living creatures rapidly aged at that moment, reaching the end of their lives.”
“And then?”Kant took a deep breath and asked.
“In this sea area, there are dozens of islands similar to this one. “Since the hermit’s visit to the island, this withered island has been in a state of no interest,”the boss said softly. “Until three hundred years ago, the land of the world was cut more and more meticulously. The three clans of the volts, who were ostracized, docked at the side of the island and went ashore.”
“The three Voldemort clans are?”Kant frowned and asked in puzzlement.
“Dwarves, dwarves, and GNOME.”The inn owner glanced at Kant and replied.

“Then how did they settle down on this island?”The figures of Gilbert and the dwarf clan chief appeared in Kant’s mind.
“When they landed on the island, it was during the dormant period of the volcano. “The strength of the crystal was also at its weakest stage in a year.”The inn owner explained, “However, this group of people immediately noticed the abnormality that happened on this island.”
“HMM?”Kant thought for a moment and asked, “Is it because of the quality of the water?”
“Lord is indeed smart.”The inn owner nodded and said, “After a dwarf drank the water in the small river, his body developed a strange disease, causing his lower body to be paralyzed. “At that time, no one among the nomads could save him.”
“Then why didn’t they choose to leave this place?”Kant became more and more curious about the history of the island and asked.
“Each of them had limited supplies. They drifted here from the territory of their own country and had already used up all their food reserves,”the owner explained. “Moreover, during the winter at that time, the weather conditions for sailing on the sea surface were very bad, and there was no way to set sail.”
……
“I see.”Kant nodded. “So, what happened next? What Happened?”
“The nomads of the three races couldn’t resist the famine and began to hunt. However, the animals in the mountains had already died out. Therefore, they could only gather their luck on weekdays to fish for unpolluted fish in the sea.”The inn owner continued, “After they were made into dried fish, they stored them for dry food. “Until one day, the nomads had few fresh water resources left and were forced to start exploring the island.”
“Where did they go ashore?”Kant asked.
“To the south of the island. It was quite close to the volcano. The search team among the nomads soon discovered the whole picture of the volcano. However, compared to the withered grass all over the mountain, what attracted them more was the geothermal resources at the foot of the mountain. When the leader of the team heard the news, he immediately held a group meeting and planned to move everyone to the vicinity of the volcano,”the inn owner said, suddenly, he asked Kant, “If it were you, Lord, would you choose to follow the team to the volcano?”
“If I were the one being led, I would naturally follow the decision made by the leader,”Kant said firmly.
“Hehe, Lord, you are a sensible person. Naturally, you can see through the pros and cons of this plan at a glance.”The inn owner smiled and said, “At that time, the Gnome tribe and the dwarf tribe among the nomads agreed to the decision to go to the volcano.”
“What about the dwarf?”Kant asked.
“The dwarf clan chose to stay by the sea. Although this caused quite a bit of conflict at that time, from the looks of it now, the dwarf clan’s choice was a good one.”The inn owner took a deep breath and said, “Because they saved the remnant nomads who risked their lives to bring back the crystals from the volcano.”. “…”
“Well, from this point of view, the dwarf clan has indeed contributed a lot.”Kant nodded and said, “But how did the nomads of these three clans seal the Crystals?”
“Have you forgotten the Hermit I mentioned at the beginning?”The inn owner said, “Although his body has been turned into ashes, he left behind a magical artifact that can temporarily seal the crystals.”. “After the strength of the crystals was sealed, the environment on the island was restored to its original state. The three fudi clans, who have established a firm foothold on the island, used the secret arts of the group and kept the three crystals separately.”
“Then, where are the three crystals now?”Kant asked.
“I don’t know.”The inn owner shook his head and sighed. “Now, only the elders who hold authority in the three clans have the authority to know the location of the crystals.”
“I see.”Kant nodded. He did not expect the dwarf, gnome, and dwarf to have such a powerful background on this island. This reminded Kant of what he had heard from Devitt before: The Dark Side’s forces had won over many people on the island when they came to the island, putting the three races in a difficult position. Now it seemed that the purpose of that group of people was very likely to seize the magic crystals hidden behind the three races, but the reconnaissance team outside the island had exposed their conspiracy in one go.
“Lord Kant, the tour of the exhibition hall ends here. Let’s hurry up and head to the next destination.”The inn owner Strode forward and walked in front of Kant as he called out to him.
“Okay.”Kant came back to his senses and followed the inn owner’s footsteps.
The two of them walked to the entrance of the hall and happened to hear the sound of rain hitting the colorful windows of the exhibition hall.
“Oh, it’s raining.”The inn owner stuck his head out and looked out of the door.
“Should we go back to the Inn?”Kant was not in a good mood. He was looking forward to where the inn owner would take him next when he was interrupted by the rain.
“I’m Sorry, Your Highness Kant.”The inn owner bowed apologetically and said, “We only took you to this one place today. The rain is getting heavier and heavier. We should hurry back to the city.”
“It doesn’t matter. This exhibition hall is very interesting. “It’s thanks to your care that we were able to find such a place.”Kant smiled and replied, “Since the weather is not very clear now, let’s hurry up the carriage and go back to the inn.”
“Thank you for your consideration, Lord.”The inn owner let out a sigh of relief and stood up to reply.
The two of them stood quietly at the entrance of the exhibition hall, waiting for the carriage driver to bring the carriage here.
Chapter 854: Heavy Rain in early spring
The facilities of the exhibition hall were also quite complete, when the carriage driver stopped the carriage. Kant and the inn owner walked to the awning in front of the door, slowly climbed up the ladder, and walked into the carriage.
After the two of them sat down one after another, the carriage driver immediately waved his whip and directed the carriage to gallop on the road where the pool had accumulated.
The roof of the carriage was made of wood, and the sound of dripping rain could be clearly heard by Kant’s ears.
In order to remove the moisture, the coachman had set up a stove in the carriage when it had just rained, so the surrounding air could be considered mild. Kant sat in the corner, and a wave of tiredness surged through his body, he turned around and glanced at the inn owner, only to find that he had already fallen into a deep sleep.
Kant stared at the flickering flames in the furnace, and unconsciously fell into a trance. In his mind, he carefully recalled the historical stories he had heard before.
He imagined how this small island had developed to its present glory. How did the Dragon clan gain the trust of many races and become the guardian of the volcano? Did they have any designs on the energy controlled by the three Voldemort clans?
And the status of the dwarf clan on this small island, was it related to their decision to stay by the sea? After all, that was something that happened hundreds of years ago. What did the new generation of dwarf clan think about the development of their own clan?
Questions appeared one after another in Kant’s mind. Some of them were related to each other, while others existed independently. Kant held his forehead with his hand, not knowing how to form a clear network of relationships. Accompanied by the sound of the rain, he gradually fell asleep.
However, he did not rest for long before Kant was awakened by the inn owner.
“Your Highness Kant, we are here.”The inn owner approached Kant and gently shook his shoulder.
“Ah?”Kant opened his eyes in a daze. After seeing the inn’s owner’s face, he stood up and looked out of the window. The carriage had already stopped at the inn’s entrance.
At this time, the carriage driver approached the carriage and handed an umbrella to Kant. He said, “Lord Kant, it’s still raining outside. I borrowed an umbrella from the cashier for you. Be careful not to catch a cold.”
“Okay, thank you.”Kant took the umbrella in a daze. He raised his head and looked at the inn owner who was still sitting in his original position. He asked, “Manager, where are you going?”
“Oh, the clerk in the inn just told me that the people from the Supervision Bureau are Looking For me. I have to go there now.”The inn owner said with a smile, “The lords there are very hot-tempered, but they can’t wait for others. I can only say goodbye to you, Lord.”
“Since you have something urgent to do, I won’t delay you.”Kant rubbed his eyes, stood up and said, “Today is quite a happy day. Boss, let’s go on a trip together next time.”
“Okay, okay, okay.”The inn owner quickly agreed, “Lord, you should be quite tired. Hurry back to your room and rest.”
Kant nodded slightly, picked up the umbrella, and walked out of the carriage.
The inn owner followed behind. He used his hand to pull up the curtain and waved goodbye to Kant.
Bean-sized raindrops hit the paper umbrella and made a crackling sound. After Kant hurriedly said goodbye, he walked to the inn’s door railing and put it away.
The cashier immediately came out when he heard the sound and asked, “Mr. Kant, you’re back. Quickly go into the inn and sit down. Warm yourself by the fire. The weather is uncertain now. Be careful not to catch a cold.”
“Thank you,”Kant replied with a smile. He handed the umbrella to the cashier and walked over the threshold to the lobby.
There were many guests gathered around the fireplace in the lobby to keep warm. Some of them were holding towels given out by the inn. It seemed that they came in to take shelter from the rain when they passed by.
Kant stood in the same place and hesitated for a while, but he still intended to go back to his room to tidy up. Then he said to the inn’s clerk who was following him, “I’ll go back to my room to rest first. If Bunduk and the others return to the inn, please tell them that I’ll wait upstairs.”
“Okay.”The clerk nodded cautiously and replied.
“Thank you.”After leaving this sentence, Kant turned around and left.
The clerk watched Kant walk up the stairs. He raised his hand and beckoned for a waiter. He ordered, “Quickly prepare some hot tea and pastries and send them to Lord Kant’s room.”
“Yes,”the waiter replied.
After Kant returned to the guest room, he immediately changed out of his damp clothes and into dry cotton clothes. Just as he was about to go to the bathroom to take a bath and rest for a while, there was a knock on the door.
“Your Highness Kant,”the waiter called out softly.
Kant walked to the entrance and unlocked the door. He asked the waiter in front of him, “What’s the matter?”
The waiter did not immediately go to the house. Instead, he brought the steaming pastries and teapot to Kant and said, “The Lord of the Accounting House sent me here to remind you to drink some hot tea to warm your body.”
Kant stood by the door and hesitated for a moment. He reluctantly took the tea and said, “Okay, put these two things on the account.”
“No, no need.”The waiter quickly waved his hand and said, “These are free gifts from the shop.”
Hearing this, Kant walked out of the room and looked at the lobby on the first floor. He immediately replied, “Then why are there no customers on the first floor? If you don’t put these two things on the bill for me, I won’t accept them.”
The waiter stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do. If he accepted Kant’s lunch money, he would definitely be scolded by the cashier.
The two were in a stalemate for a while. Finally, Kant sighed, he compromised and said, “Forget it. This has nothing to do with you. Please tell your cashier that I’ll accept the tea and snacks this time, but don’t do such unnecessary things in the future.”
“Yes, thank you, Lord.”The waiter nodded as if he had been granted amnesty.
“Well, thank you for your hard work. Please take care.”Kant nodded slightly, walked to the entrance, and closed the door.
The waiter stood there in a daze for a while, thinking in his heart, how can I convey Kant’s words to the lord of the accounts without being so harsh.
The clock on the wall pointed to six o’clock in the afternoon.
Kant estimated in his heart that there were still three hours left before Bunduk and the others returned to the inn.
After drinking a mouthful of hot tea, he returned to his bedroom and planned to take a light nap.
The carriage seat was really not a suitable place to sleep. This caused Kant to feel that his neck was very stiff. It was not until he lay on the soft and light bed that the tiredness in his body spread through his limbs.
Kant fell asleep in peace.
Chapter 855: patrolling without any progress
Walking on the street, Bunduk frowned.
Because of the rain, there were not many pedestrians on the street. The guild also became very quiet.
During lunch time, he took a few of his soldiers and sat down at the tea house at the corner of the street, so that they could exchange information about this street.
“Did you find anything?”Bunduk asked first.
The soldier present looked at each other and shook his head silently.
Bunduk exhaled and said, “It doesn’t matter. Today is the first day of the operation. As long as we continue to observe, there should be results.”
Pick’s portrait was plastered all over the streets and alleys. The GNOME soldier had caused such a huge commotion, so the dark side should have taken action.
“I wonder if the others have received any news.”A soldier raised his head dejectedly and said to the soldier beside him.
“We can only wait until we return to the inn at night before we can meet up with the others. Perhaps they are also looking forward to our progress.”Bunduk shook his head, he said, “There are still about three hours before the shift change. Everyone should not move separately. Every two people should form a group and look after each other. We can also observe more carefully what is happening on the street.”
“Yes!”The soldier answered in unison.
Lunch only took about half an hour. After Bunduk and the others paid the bill, they walked out of the tea house with umbrellas. They continued to patrol the streets. Unfortunately, until evening, when everyone set off on their return journey, they still did not find anything.
Bunduk stood at the entrance of the inn and watched the soldiers on night duty leave. He quietly waited for Abel and his soldier to return to the inn.
Abel was in charge of commanding the Elven soldier’s team. Compared to the human soldiers, they could sense the changes on the street from the level of a spell. Therefore, at this moment, Bunduk’s hope.., was placed on the group of people who had yet to return to the inn.
“Bunduk!”After crossing the threshold, Abel immediately called out Bunduk’s name and said, “Why are you sitting here? Where are the other soldiers?”
“They went back to their rooms to rest.”Bunduk raised his head and asked, “Abel, do you have any news from your side?”
“… No.”Abel sighed and said, “Today’s patrol did not find any clues related to the dark forces.”
A disappointed expression appeared on Bunduk’s face. He said, “Then we will continue to look for him tomorrow.”
“Bunduk, today is only the first day. Don’t be anxious,”Abel consoled him. “We’ll definitely find out about pick, make him hand over the antidote, and apologize to you.”
“Mm.”Bunduk nodded slightly. “The cashier just told me that your Highness Kant wants us to meet him after we return to the shop. Let’s hurry up.”
“Okay.”Abel nodded. He then took off his cloak and wrapped it in his hand.
Bunduk stood up and left the tea table. He led Abel to the stairs.
At this time, Kant was still in a shallow sleep. He immediately woke up when he heard the knocking on the door. He grabbed a coat and put it on. Then, he walked to the main hall of the guest room.
The three of them had slept together for so long, so they had some understanding of each other’s habits. For example, now: Kant could immediately recognize the sound of Bunduk knocking on the door. After he unlocked the door for the two of them, he turned around and walked towards the fireplace without looking back.
“Your Highness Kant,”Bunduk greeted, “I’m sorry to disturb your rest.”
“It’s okay, I’ve been sleeping very soundly.”Kant glanced at the two people standing at the entrance and said, “Why are both of you drenched by the Rain? Hurry up and change your clothes. Be careful not to catch a cold.”
“Yes, yes, yes,”Abel answered immediately.
Then, he stepped on his rain boots and walked into the room. The accumulated water on the rain boots left puddles one after another on the stone floor.
When the two of them were done with everything and returned to the main hall… Kant was making tea.
“Sit down,”Kant said. “You’ve been busy outside for a whole day. I wonder how it’s Going?”
Abel and Bunduk looked helpless when they faced this problem.
“For now, we haven’t found any clues,”Bunduk answered first.
“Yes.”Kant nodded and continued to ask the two, “Have you checked the addresses I marked for you?”
“Yes,”Abel said. “It’s just that there was a sudden rainstorm today, and everyone seems to have chosen to stay indoors. When we were patrolling the streets, we didn’t find any special spiritual energy fluctuations or strange people coming and going.”
“Tomorrow, send someone to the city gate to take a look.”Kant thought for a moment and ordered, “The GNOME operation has just begun. If the people of the dark side want to contact pick, they should send someone to sneak out of the city.”
“Yes, Your Highness,”Abel and Bunduk looked at each other and answered.
“Although there is no progress on the matter of pick, I did find another thing related to it today.”Kant changed the topic to his experience in the exhibition hall today, he recounted the process in detail to Bunduk and Abel.
After Kant finished his narration, Bunduk was silent for a moment before he said, “So the dark forces’goal is to fight for the three crystals that were brought to the island hundreds of years ago.”
“They not only want status, but also the strength to consolidate their status,”Kant commented.
“If that’s the case, it’s easy for our group to become a thorn in their side. “After all, the activity they’ve been preparing for a long time was destroyed by us,”Abel said. “Pick wants to use Bunduk to control us. Could it be that they have other actions to take next?”
“I think that pick should be out of control in the Dark Side,”Kant analyzed. “But the current situation leads to a conclusion. The dark side tolerated his actions and has been organizing the follow-up for him. “Otherwise, with the summoning power of the Midget clan on this small island, it would be impossible for there to be no news for so many days.”
Two or three days had passed since Kant and Abel went to meet the dwarf clan chief.
But there was still no news from the other side.
It was said that with Pick’s strength alone, he could escape from the combined efforts of the Midget clan and the Gnome clan. Kant did not believe that the other party had such ability.
“Then what kind of action will the dark forces take next?”Bunduk asked.
“Previously, they wanted to wipe out the three families, but we found the flaw. “I don’t think they will continue to be so ostentatious,”Abel said. “I think that if they want to take action in the short term, they should plan to destroy them one by one. After all, the temptation of crystals is too great. These people shouldn’t give up on targeting these three races.”
Chapter 856: Dinner with a strange atmosphere
“Abel’s thoughts are roughly the same as my analysis,”Kant said. “It’s just that we need to gather more information before we can figure out who their first target is.”
“Leave this to us,”Abel promised. “Soldier can observe the movements in the city while searching for information related to this.”
“Yes.”Kant nodded. “But it’s important for you to pay more attention to the movements of the city. If there’s any news, you must immediately report it to me.”
“Yes!”Bunduk and Abel replied.
“Bunduk, are you alright?”Kant asked worriedly.
“No problem,”Bunduk said confidently.
Abel glanced at him but did not say anything.
“Today’s mission is over. Go take a hot bath and rest well. “Let’s go to the dining room to eat together later,”Kant instructed. “Bunduk, remember to arrange for the kitchen staff to cook medicine for you before the meal.”
“Got it, Your Highness,”Bunduk agreed.
When Abel and Bunduk got up and returned to their respective bedrooms, Kant walked to the door of the guest room. He found a waiter and discussed with him the dishes that would be served tonight.
During dinner time, Kant and Abel arrived at the dining hall early.
After that, the soldier who came would walk to the dining table where the two of them were. After greeting them, he would walk to his seat and take a seat.
When the dining table in the dining room was fully occupied, Bunduk arrived late. Meanwhile, Kant and Abel had already inquired about the information that all the soldier had.
“I’m sorry, I’m late. I didn’t delay everyone’s meal, right?”Bunduk hurriedly walked to the dining table where Kant was and asked apologetically.
“It’s okay. It’s only served before the meal.”Kant shook his head gently and replied.
“Did something happen?”After Bunduk sat down, Abel immediately asked.
“It’s nothing.”Bunduk waved his hand, “When I brought the medicine to the kitchen, someone told me that the place to boil the medicine was actually in the backyard. Right now, the staff doesn’t have any spare manpower, so I need to go there personally.”
“You’ve been staying in the backyard and working until now?”Abel asked curiously.
“Yes.”Bunduk drank a mouthful of water, he nodded and said, “There’s a place in the backyard where hot water is boiled, and it’s burned with firewood. It wasn’t easy for me to find a clean pot, so I poured the herbs into the big pot on the stove.”
“The staff in the kitchen is really boring.”Abel curled his lips and said, “Forget it. We won’t stay here for long anyway.”
“It’s fine, as long as we don’t miss the meal time,”bandaka said indifferently. “After all, the kitchen is really quite busy.”
“By the way, before you came, the soldier who went back to the shop reported all the information they had to Kant and me,”Abel said happily. “I didn’t expect that the news that we didn’t catch them would be discovered by the soldiers of the West City.”
“What News?”Bunduk took a deep breath and asked.
“Someone discovered that the ‘corrosion’Union in the West City had been secretly selling a homemade drug to the residents of the town. The soldier happened to witness the scene of the people in the union delivering the product to the buyers today. He also heard pick’s name from their conversation,”Abel introduced in detail.
“The soldier stopped the group of sellers and asked them the truth.”Kant took over Abel’s words and continued, “It was discovered that this pick was actually the raw material supplier of the union’s self-made drug.”
“Pick… what raw materials did he provide?”Bunduk was stunned for a moment and then asked.
“This is a trade secret. We have no way of knowing.”Abel glanced at Bunduk, “The key point of this matter is that there are still people in this city who maintain regular contact with pick. This contact has already been locked down by our soldier.”
“Judging from pick’s solitary nature, he will definitely come personally to make the handover,”Kant said. “At that time, we will have a chance to catch him.”
“I see.”Bunduk nodded silently.
“What’s wrong with you? Why do you look so depressed?”Abel asked in puzzlement. “When King Kant and I heard this news, we were both happy for you.”
“I… I don’t know.”Bunduk forced a smile and said, “I just don’t feel at ease.”
“Pick and the internal members of the guild are scheduled to deliver the goods at the beginning of each month. The time is not fixed.”Kant looked at Bunduk strangely, “It’s already the end of March. Our only chance is at the beginning of April. If we wait until May, by then, Bunduk’s condition should not be able to be controlled.”
“His Majesty Kant and I are preparing to move most of our manpower to the western city ahead of time to prepare for this operation. Now, only your opinion is left. What do you think?”Abel asked.
“I think it’s better to stick to the original…”Bunduk was silent for a moment before he said.
“Why?”Kant asked faintly.
“Just as you’ve analyzed before, Pick’s actions are ultimately controlled by the decision of the Dark Side. We need to search for more information in the city in order to make timely changes,”Bunduk said.
Abel and Kant did not reply to Bunduk immediately. Instead, they pondered for a moment. Then, Kant nodded and said, “Okay, we’ll do as you say.”
“Okay.”Bunduk nodded as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden.
At this moment, the kitchen staff carried the dishes into the dining room and served the dishes for each table.
Abel seemed to still have doubts about Bunduk’s decision. Even when the deceased who delivered the dishes walked to his side, he did not feel anything.
The waiter could only try to walk to Bunduk’s side and trouble him to help with the dishes.
After the dishes were arranged, the waiter said to Bunduk before leaving, “Thank you, Lord Bunduk.”
Bunduk was stunned for a moment. He raised his head and looked at the back of the waiter with puzzlement. He silently said, “How does he know my name?”
Kant looked at the two people at the table. One of them had a worried expression, while the other had a dull expression. He helplessly raised his wine cup, he said, “Since we’re sitting at the dining table, let’s not keep thinking about business. Come, after we finish this wine, let’s start eating.”
“Yes.”Abel returned to his senses and agreed. Following Kant’s actions, he raised his wine glass and downed it in one gulp.
As Bunduk had been taking medicine recently, he had used water as a substitute for wine to complete the pre-meal ritual.
