Lord of the Oasis - Chapter 819 - The grand finale (VI)
Chapter 905: The Tragedy of destroying the hotel
“What are you doing here?”Bunduk raised his head to look at the group of waiters behind Nate and asked with a frown.
“We are here to help.”Nate glanced at Bunduk and answered carefully.
“Don’t make trouble. Go back quickly.”Bunduk waved his hand when he heard this, he explained, “These people are from the surveillance bureau. They don’t dare to cause trouble for US outsiders. If you interfere, there’s no point for Lord Kant to stand up for you, understand?”
“… Yes.”Nitte lowered his head and replied.
“Alright, let everyone go back.”Bunduk patted Nitte on the shoulder and didn’t say anything else. He brought his soldier and rushed into the dining hall. When Nate saw Bunduk’s back disappear before his eyes, he sighed, turned around and said to the other attendants, “Did you all hear that? Let’s go back.”
“But…”one of the attendants said hesitantly.

“Don’t worry, if that group of soldier really dares to make a move, we’ll have to teach them a good lesson no matter what.”Nate interrupted the attendant’s words, he replied, “However, it’s not our turn yet. Everyone listen to me, go back first.”
“Yes,”the waiters answered in unison.
After the others left, Nate stood guard outside the restaurant alone, quietly waiting for the movement inside the door.
After a while, the dwarf soldier who had posted a search warrant on the fourth floor’s stairway was escorted out of the door by the CARADIA soldier.
Bunduk cursed as he walked, “You Bunch of bastards! Each of you is wearing a uniform, yet you dare to come here and try to swindle us. Tell me everything that you’ve found.”
“Lord, please let us go. We’ve told you everything that needs to be said.”The dwarf crawled at the door of the restaurant and begged Kant who was walking at the back.
……
“Bunduk, take your men and chase them out. Don’t disturb the business of the shop.”Kant glanced at the dwarf and turned to say to Bunduk.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”Bunduk bowed and nodded.
“I’m here to help.”Abel walked to the side of the soldier with a smile and restrained one of the soldiers with his hands. When he was about to lead the soldier and hooligans down the stairs, Nate blocked him and asked in disbelief, “Lord Abel, what are you doing?”
“NIT, don’t worry about it,”Abel replied. “These hoodlums were not sent by the Overwatch Council. Someone invited them to investigate the things left behind by the boss. After they received their uniforms, they came to cheat food and drink.”
“What?”After listening to Abel’s statement, NIT was a little unable to react. He stared at the soldier beside him and asked, “Are you really not soldiers from the Overwatch Council?”
The undead next to Abel did not dare to raise his head to look at Nate. He only answered hesitantly, “We are just ordinary people.”
Abel looked at the expression on Nate’s face, and an ominous feeling rose in his heart. He quickly gave the elven soldier beside him a look, telling them to quickly take Nate away from here.
The soldier slowly moved behind Nate, paying attention to his every move.
“You Bunch of bastards!”Nate’s entire face turned red from anger, and he roared as he charged towards the undead in front of him. However, the Elven soldier stopped him in time, and the undead was so scared that they froze on the spot. A hint of shock appeared in Abel’s eyes. He tried to comfort him. “Nate, these people…”
“Everyone! Come quickly! These people aren’t soldiers from the inspection station, they’re just a bunch of street hooligans!”Nate struggled to break free from the Elven soldier’s hold, he leaned against the railing of the stairs and shouted at the orcs’attendants in the hall.
“Nate!”This commotion attracted Kant and Bunduk’s sidelong glances. When they knew what was happening, they immediately stopped him.
“Everyone! Close the doors, don’t let these people run away!”Nita continued to give orders.
Because of Nita’s call, the waiters in the inn gathered in the lobby. And according to what he said, the front and back doors of the inn were all tightly closed.
“Your Majesty.”Seeing this scene, Bunduk frowned and looked at Kant who was beside him.
Kant shook his head helplessly and said, “Now that the boss is not here, no one can calm these waiters down.”
“In my impression…”Bunduk glanced in the direction of Nitte and said in disappointment, “I didn’t expect Nitte to lose control so much.”
“You and I are not familiar with the people in this shop.”Kant shook his head and said, “We only see them as waiters on a daily basis. How would we know what kind of person they are?”
“You are right.”Bunduk nodded slightly and said, “However, all the customers in the shop have been scared away.”
Kant followed Bunduk’s line of sight and looked over. He found that all the customers in the hall had run away. They must have been scared by the noise downstairs.
“These people got a bargain. They left without paying the bill after having a meal,”Kant said casually.
“Your Majesty…”Bunduk said helplessly, “Now is obviously not the time to care about this.”.
“I’ll go and talk to Nitte.”Kant chuckled and said calmly, “Leave the decision-making to them.”
After saying this, Kant lifted his leg and walked in the direction of Nitte.
At this time, Abel had already let the two elven soldier loosen their grip on Nitte and returned to the queue.
After all, everyone in the shop had rushed to the stairs on the second floor. As their leader, Nate was naturally the focus of their attention.
After Kant walked in front of Abel, he said to Nate, “Nate, you’ve closed all the doors of the shop. Are you not planning to do business?”
“Lord Kant, this matter has nothing to do with you. Since these people don’t have any serious background, then what they did just now was to bully others too much. We represent the shop. We have to teach them a lesson.”A trace of hatred appeared in Nate’s eyes.
“But they are now in our hands. How is this none of our business?”Kant asked softly.
“Lord Kant!”Nitte raised his voice and continued, “Please don’t defend them anymore!”
“Lower Your Voice.”Bunduk took a step forward and warned nitte, “Even Gilbert has to be polite in front of his majesty. What’s wrong with you? Do you think you have a higher status than Gilbert?”
“Your Highness, Let’s go. These people are not worth considering for them,”Abel said at this moment. He looked at Nate with eyes that seemed to hide the frost of winter.
Chapter 906: pay a heavy price
“Nate, think about it carefully.”Kant sighed and said, “You are now the leader of everyone. What kind of influence will your attitude have on everyone’s behavior?”
“Lord Kant…”Nitte looked at the three people standing in front of him. His eyes could not help but shrink, but in the end, he made up his mind and said, “We hope that you can not interfere in this matter.”
“Okay.”Kant’s expression was slightly disappointed. He waved to the soldier behind him and said, “Let go of the people in your hands. Let’s go.”
Although the soldier who received the order was a little reluctant, he still let go of the nomads in uniform. Then, he consciously walked behind Kant and arranged himself neatly according to the training position.
“Do you think this is better?”Kant raised his head and asked Nitte, “No one can help you make a decision, but I want to tell you not to betray others’good intentions.”
After saying this, Kant first walked downstairs to the Tang empire.
Abel and Bunduk followed closely behind. When their soldier also followed them out of the inn, only a group of waiters and nomads who had received the search mission were left in the inn.
“One on one, or just anyone?”The dwarf straightened his body and looked at his companion behind him. He patted the dust on his body and raised his head to ask Nitte.
“Let’s go together. I still want to punch you in that hateful face of yours,”Nate said hatefully.
“Okay.”The dwarf looked at Nate up and down and sneered, “I think my fist is definitely more effective than what they said. The pain is not on your body, so you won’t understand what it means.”
“Cut the crap.”Nate raised his right arm and shouted to the orcs behind him, “Everyone! Follow Me!”
The nomads standing in front of them took out a tube of green powder from their trouser pockets and poured some into their palms.
“Wait, we haven’t ‘started eating’yet.”The dwarf waved his hand at Nate and held the green powder in front of him. After inhaling hard, the dwarf’s face turned red and his eyes were bloodshot. Not only him, but the other nomads also had the same situation after inhaling the green powder.
The group of people who were still listless just a moment ago, under the stimulation of the medicine, forcefully pushed their body’s status to the peak.
“Now we can.”
After walking out of the inn, Kant stopped at the entrance of the Teahouse opposite the Inn. He looked at the three-story tall building in front of him.
“Bunduk, find someone to ask if there are any vacant rooms in the inn upstairs,”Kant instructed.
“Your Majesty, this is a teahouse. What kind of rooms are there for staying in there?”Abel said.
“Look at the design of the third floor. It’s clearly the same as the inn that Trubin runs,”Kant explained. “As for why he didn’t put up the inn’s signboard, I’m quite curious too.”
“It’s better for me to ask it myself. Your Majesty, Please rest here for a while.”The group of people booked a tea table in the hall of the teahouse. Under the guidance of the owner of the Teahouse, Bunduk walked towards the stairs leading to the third floor.
“Your Highness, do you think that Nate and the others will suffer under the hands of those nomads?”Abel said. “After all, those hooligans and ruffians seem to have good kung fu. “Nate and the others usually do some menial work in the shop. They don’t have the strength to fight with those people.”
“Just like you said, Nate and the others will definitely suffer,”Kant replied. “But if this fall is within the tolerance range, it’s not completely useless. The boss is most likely going to be locked up in prison. The group of children he raised has indeed not experienced any hardships. “If you want to survive in this small town, you can’t just rely on luck, right?”
“Yes.”Abel nodded and agreed with Kant’s words.
“Have you collected all the materials that those people brought with them?”Kant took a sip of tea and asked the soldier around him.
“Yes!”As usual, the soldier’s orderly response attracted the attention of the other customers in the shop.
“Hand over all the information to me. Even if we leave the inn, we still have to tidy up the things and return them to them.”Abel nodded in a relaxed manner.
“Yes.”The captain of each squad began to sort out the paper information that the soldier in the squad had collected and the items that the nomads had brought out privately. However, during this process, they kept quiet from the beginning to the end.
“I really hope that they can be so quiet during normal times.”Abel sighed with his chin in his hands.
At this time, Bunduk had already returned to the lobby on the first floor and sat down beside Kant, he said happily, “Your Highness, what you said is right. The third floor is indeed an independent hotel. Moreover, the owner told me that they are currently in the off-season of business and have enough guest rooms.”
“Yes.”Kant nodded lightly and said, “Did you book The Room?”
“Of course, but I didn’t bring much money with me. I only paid for the room three days in advance,”Bunduk replied.
“Well done,”Kant replied.
Abel held the information and items he received from the soldier and returned to the tea seat where Kant was. After putting down the things in his arms, Abel took a breath, “Your Highness, the things the soldier found are all here. Those guys are really not honest. Not only did they take out the information, they even took out the items they liked.”
“Yes. After drinking the tea, bring these things back to the room and let the three of us tidy them up slowly.”Kant glanced at the information that covered the entire tea table and found a glass tube filled with green powder in the corner, he asked curiously, “What is this?”
“This?”Abel casually picked up the glass tube. After sizing it up, he explained to Kant, “The soldier who handed this thing to me said that one of the nomads took it out to bribe him.”
“There’s actually a bribe?”Bunduk took a sip of tea and said in disbelief, “It seems that these hooligans have been fooling around for a long time. They can think of such a method at this time.”
“Let me see.”Kant reached out his hand to Abel.
“Okay.”Abel handed the glass tube to Kant.
Kant placed the glass tube that was the length of his index finger in front of him and observed it carefully. In the end, a terrifying thought flashed through his mind.
“I understand.”Kant slapped the glass tube in his hand on the table and said to Bunduk and Abel beside him, “Nitte and the others are in danger. We have to hurry back.”
Chapter 907: the existence of Hell on Earth
“What is it, Your Highness?”Bunduk put down the Teacup in a panic and asked Kant, “Is this thing related to Nate and the others?”
“I’ve been wondering since just now why that group of people didn’t show any intention of resisting after seeing us.”Kant was the first to walk out of the teahouse, he ordered the soldiers who were still enjoying the pastries, “Soldier, follow me!”
“Why?”Abel recalled the scene when he and Kant walked into the restaurant, and he couldn’t help but feel a little strange. At that time, there were only the two of them. With the vicious nature of those nomads, how could they have been discouraged and begged for mercy at the beginning.
“Isn’t it because they knew Lord Kant’s identity?”Bunduk led the soldier to follow closely behind Kant and walked out of the teahouse. While he was tidying up his helmet, he asked in puzzlement.
“At that time, we expected that directly taking action would be the worst outcome. “Since that group of nomads accepted this mission, even if there were any mistakes in the execution of the mission, the guild that issued the mission would still bear the responsibility. “Therefore, after deep thought, the relationship between us and Gilbert and the others on the surface can not be considered an advantage,”Abel explained.
“That group of people feared us because they were doing something at that time, and Abel and I happened to find out about it. “And if this matter is discovered, not only will the guild not bear the responsibility for them, but they will also completely cut off all ties with them.”Kant’s footsteps were as fast as the wind, the veins on his right hand, which was clutching the glass tube, were already bulging.
Abel was stunned on the spot when he heard this. He said, “Could it be that they are taking drugs?”
“Gathering people to take drugs,”Kant corrected. “Nitta sent people to scare away the guests and used words to provoke us to leave. It just so happened to provide them with a safe environment. Now, that group of people is no longer under control.”
The moment his voice fell, Kant pushed open the tightly shut inn’s door with force.
What appeared in front of them was a scene like hell.
In the inn’s lobby, blood splattered. Seven or eight waiters’corpses fell on the floor that was as bright as a mirror, as if they had been thrown down from the second floor. Seven or eight of the ribs in their chests were broken, and they were inserted into their lungs, the injured waiters could no longer breathe.
The nomads who had taken the medicine jumped up and down in the inn. The moment Kant met their eyes, his eyes were filled with the ferocity of a beast.
“Get lost!”Before Abel made his move, Bunduk punched away the nomads who had pounced in front of Kant.
“Save us! Is anyone there? Save Us!”Just as Kant’s eyes dimmed with the scene in front of him, a cry of fear came from the second floor.
“There are still people alive!”Abel cried out in surprise. “Teams three and four, follow me upstairs to save people!”
“Teams one and two, go to the backyard and search,”Kant ordered. “Attack the nomads who have taken the medicine!”
“Yes!”The soldier answered in unison. Then, according to the two men’s orders, the team was divided into two rows and moved to the designated position. Meanwhile, the fifth team led by Abel was guarding beside Kant, cleaning up the nomads in the hall.
Kant slowly walked to the teahouse and sat down, his gaze fixed on the floor.
Abel walked to his side worriedly and asked, “Your Majesty, are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”Kant gently closed his eyes and replied to Abel, “Go and do your work. The soldier needs your help.”
“Do we need to leave one or two of these nomads alive?”Abel stood in his original spot hesitantly and asked Kant.
“No need.”Kant took a deep breath and said, “If you find the leader of the Dwarves, bring him to me.”
“… Yes.”Abel nodded. Then he turned around and left. When he turned back to look at Kant again, Kant still kept his head down. Abel took a deep breath and looked at the nomads who had rushed to his front. A hint of desolation appeared in his eyes.
“Son of a B * Tch!”Abel channeled the spiritual power in his body. The moment his fist touched the body of the nomads, the water in their bodies was instantly squeezed dry. He looked like a relatively strong person just now.., in an instant, he fell to the floor like a flower that had been hit by rain.
After taking the medicine, although the nomads’strength and speed had increased by a few levels, they had already lost their mind during this period of time, relying only on their instincts, they were unable to fight against the well-trained soldier.
Not to mention Abel, even the other elven soldier seemed to be able to easily deal with the nomads’attacks.
“Damn it!”The easier it was to defeat these people, the angrier Abel became.
The corpse of the waiter in the hall reminded him that the lives of these people were ending in the hands of these scumbags.
The cleaning lasted for more than ten minutes.
When the soldier of the fifth squad returned to Kant’s side, their hands were covered in blood. It was unknown whether it was the nomads or the waiters.
Kant closed his eyes without saying a word, waiting for the news from the other squads.
“Lord Kant!”A familiar voice came to his ear, and Kant loosened his tightly clenched fists. He looked up: Nitte and a few other waiters came down the stairs with the help of the soldier.
“Your Majesty, we didn’t find any clues in the backyard,”the captain of the first squad reported.
“One, two, three… five, six.”Kant counted the number of attendants with his fingertips and said coldly, “There are more than thirty attendants in the entire inn, and only the six of you are left.”
“Lord Kant!”Nate threw himself on the floor and cried, “It’s all because of me. I didn’t listen to your advice. Those people are monsters!”
Bunduk and Abel looked at each other with complicated expressions.
“Stop talking.”Kant waved his hand and said to Abel, “Did you find the Dwarf?”
“The dwarf is in the restaurant on the second floor. He is dead.”Bunduk glanced at NIT and explained to Kant, “It was the waiters who attacked him.”
Kant was stunned when he heard that. The way he looked at NIT became indescribable. After taking a few deep breaths, he asked, “How did you kill him?”
“He said that he wanted to deal with us alone. “Then he chased his companions out of the restaurant.”Nitte said in a trembling voice, “We couldn’t defeat him, so we could only distract his attention. “Everyone suffered a lot of injuries
“Then, when Bunduk arrived with his men, you took the opportunity to kill him?”
Chapter 908: A Ray of Hope
“Yes.”Nitte nodded and looked down at the floor.
“Stupid!”Kant finally couldn’t hold back the anger in his chest and shouted. Everyone present was shocked by Kant’s anger.
“Lord Kant, I know my mistake.”Nitte pursed his lips and apologized.
“Of course you know. What don’t you know. “You know that it’s the right thing to leave your own people behind to fight against those ruffians and hooligans. You know that when others come to your rescue, block all the escape routes for yourself and your rescuers in one Go!”Kant rebuked harshly, although his words were mixed with some angry words, his dissatisfaction with Nitte had accumulated for a long time.
When he looked at the corpses lying on the ground, the guilt in Kant’s heart could not be offset by other emotions.
Bunduk quietly walked behind Kant, his eyes full of worry.
After Kant finished speaking, he sat back in his seat. Nitte, who knelt in front of him, still did not say a word. He owed Kant too much.
“Wait.”After calming down for a while, Kant opened his eyes and said to Abel, “Where is the soldier who handed this thing to you? where is he? I have something to ask him.”
“Yes.”Abel raised his eyebrows in surprise and replied. Then, he walked to the soldier’s formation. After a while, a young elven soldier followed behind him and walked to Kant.
“Your Highness Kant! Captain of the fourth squad, Roy.”The Elven soldier saluted.
“Roy, do you still remember what your soldier looked like when you bribed him with this glass tube?”Kant handed the green powder ink to Roy, then, he asked, “That nomads army disguised as soldiers. At the beginning of the battle, I reckon that only one person was awake. We need to find him.”
“I remember,”Roy answered confidently.
The training that the Elven soldier received in the military barrack was more about training the brain than physical fitness.
For him, it was a piece of cake to copy the appearance of the person he had met dozens of minutes ago.
“Okay, you bring the soldier in your team with you. First, search the shop and see if there is any soldier you have seen.”Kant patted Roy’s shoulder and said, “We are waiting for your news.”
“Yes!”Roy bowed and replied. After that, he immediately led his six or seven soldiers up the inn’s stairs and began to search carefully.
Compared to the noise coming from upstairs, the hall was deathly silent.
Bunduk and Abel were still standing behind Kant, not saying a word. The current situation was already tragic enough. They really couldn’t think of anything to say at this time.
The aura emitted by Kant’s body made everyone present not even dare to breathe.
“Tidy up the bodies of the attendants. They are all orphans adopted by the boss and have no home on this island.”Kant’s sigh broke the silence, he whispered, “Bury them all together. Nitte, the funeral will be presided over by you. We will help. This is also the last time we will have contact with you.”
“Thank… Thank you, Lord Kant.”After Nitte heard Kant’s words, he prostrated himself in the ground.
“… Yes.”
Nitte stood up with the help of the attendants. A group of people limped forward to search for the corpses of their brothers in the shop. Abel sent another group of soldier to assist them.
“Your Highness Kant, don’t blame yourself.”Bunduk looked at Kant’s back and said softly.
“But these dozens of lives were wasted just like that. If we can persevere and stay…”Kant said with his head lowered. His tone was full of regret.
“Based on the information we had at that time, we could not have foreseen this step.”Abel sighed. “A person can not be resurrected after death. Please, Your Majesty, my condolences.”
Kant tried his best to calm down the surging sadness in his chest. Finally, he gradually calmed down.
The waiters in the shop lined up the dead bodies of the shop assistants, preparing to send them to the crematorium in the town for cremation.
“What do you plan to do next?”Kant asked Nitte calmly.
“We… will continue to stay in the shop.”Nitte hesitated for a moment and said, “When the business is better, we will continue to adopt the orphans of the orcs like the boss.”
“Yes,”Kant replied softly and did not comment.
“This matter is too big. The bodies of these nomads will be handed over to the monitoring station by yourselves.”Bunduk said, “They will investigate it for you.”
“Yes, Lord Bunduk.”Nate bowed and said.
Just as Abel was giving some details to Nate, Roy and the others came down from the second floor with a gnome.
“Lord Kant, we found it!”Roy’s face was slightly ruddy. He carried the gnome to Kant.
Kant looked at the Gnome and saw that he was soft and boneless. He frowned and asked, “What happened to him?”
“I saw the mark left by the green powder on his finger. He must have fallen asleep after the effects of the medicine wore off,”Roy explained. “This kid fell into an empty guest room. It seems like he broke into the room. “The floor of that room was filled with his shit.”
After listening to Roy’s statement, Bunduk took a closer look at the sleeping gnome. After smelling a pungent smell, he immediately withdrew his body.
“Now, we can only wait for the kid to wake up before we can get anything out of him.”Abel thought for a while, he said, “Nate, leave the matters here to us. You guys should hurry up and prepare the matters related to the funeral.”
“Okay.”Nate’s eyes sized up Kant and the other two. After a while, he left with the attendants beside him.
There was a public cemetery next to the crematorium. After discussing with the others, Nate decided to use the money from the shop to buy a cemetery there. He buried the dead waiters in that piece of land.
“Your Highness, do you want to go back to the inn in the teahouse to rest for a while?”After watching Nate and the others leave, Abel suggested worriedly to Kant.
In his eyes, Kant’s current status was extremely unstable. If he stayed like this until the Gnome Nomads woke up, he probably wouldn’t be able to fully deal with some special situations.
“Alright, I’ll go back and rest for a while. You and Bunduk, keep an eye on this gnome.”Kant nodded and accepted Abel’s suggestion.
Chapter 913: The State of mind where one can not rest at ease
After returning to the inn, Kant immediately sent people to pick up Bunduk who had rushed over from the guild.
Abel stayed with him in the Hall of the teahouse, quietly waiting for Bunduk’s arrival.
“By the way, What’s Your Name?”Abel asked the gnome beside him.
After the Gnome understood his current situation, he became listless. When he stayed with Kant and Abel, he remained silent. When he heard Abel’s question, he softly replied, “Abel.”
“Yasi, do you have any family in this small town?”Abel continued to ask.
“No.”Yasi slowly shook his head and said, “I came to this small island alone. Because here, no one can restrain me.”
“In a moment, Nate’s people will take you to the monitoring station.”Kant said, “Do you still remember what I Told You?”
“To tell the truth, we pretended to be a soldier of the monitoring station and broke into this inn,”ash nodded and replied.
“Well, if the judge of the monitoring station asks you any questions about the guild, you can also provide them with some information in exchange for a lighter punishment,”Kant looked at the Gnome and instructed.
“What kind of lighter punishment?”Ash raised his head and met Kant’s gaze.
“About two years,”Kant replied. “If you have anything you want to bring to your family outside the island, we can pass it on to them for you.”
“… No.”Ashe paused for a moment and continued, “I don’t have anything I want to bring to my family. If they find this island, I’ll be in trouble.”
Kant raised his eyebrows in confusion, but still did not say anything.
The conversation ended there. Abel went to the kitchen and brought a pot of new tea. The three of them sipped their tea and locked their gazes on the door of the teahouse.
Ten minutes later, Bunduk returned to the teahouse with the soldier who had gone to pick him up.
When he saw Kant and the others, he immediately went forward and said, “Your Highness!”
“There was no trouble on the way, right?”Kant gestured for Bunduk to sit down and asked.
“Nothing.”Bunduk waved his hand and replied, “It’s just that I haven’t been able to find you. I’m a little anxious.”
“The servants of the guild arranged explosives in our carriage,”Abel explained. “It’s really not safe to stay there. After we got rid of the gunpowder, we came back first.”
“This kid is awake.”Bunduk agreed with Abel’s explanation. His gaze shifted to the gnome sitting at the side. His eyes widened as he said, “The people of the guild are looking for him everywhere.”
“On the way here, we were worried that you might run into an accident,”Kant instructed. “Since the current situation is relatively smooth, let’s quickly send people to send the Gnome and the inn’s servants to the monitoring station.”
“Yes, it is indeed better to act as soon as possible.”Bunduk nodded and replied calmly.
“Abel, let the two teams in the team follow you to carry out the mission. On this trip, bring out the soldier who is trapped in the prison,”Kant said.
“Yes.”Abel stood up and said politely.
“Wait, I want to go too!”Bunduk said as Abel turned to leave.
“You stay in the shop and have a good rest.”Abel turned around and rejected Bunduk’s request. He said, “Your Highness’safety needs to be protected by you.”
“Okay.”Bunduk hesitated for a moment and returned to his seat. He gave up the idea of going with Abel.
Abel quickly chose a dozen or so soldiers to accompany him. Without a moment’s delay, a group of people got into the carriage heading to the monitoring station.
“Alright, everyone, go back to your rooms and rest.”Kant ordered the soldier behind him and the surrounding attendants.
“Yes.”After Kant gave the order, everyone returned to their seats.
“Your Highness, you’ve been tired all day. Go back to the guest room and rest for a while.”Bunduk sat at the side of the teahouse, drank a mouthful of tea, and suggested to Kant.
“Yes.”Kant glanced at him and said, “But you also have to go and rest.”
“Yes? No… I’m here… Okay.”Bunduk was stunned. His explanation was cut off at the tip of his tongue, and he helplessly agreed to Kant’s request.
The two of them returned to the guest room on the third floor, one after the other.
After Kant changed into casual clothes in his room, he returned to the main hall of the guest room. He said to Bunduk, who was sitting on the sofa and looking very uneasy, “Don’t worry. Abel and the others are going to the monitoring station. No matter how arrogant the people of the guild are, they won’t choose to make a move there.”
“Yes.”Bunduk took a deep breath and replied, “Your Highness, why don’t you go back to your room and rest?”
“I… Will sit here for a while…”Kant paused and replied.
What happened today was a little out of the scope of his burden. Although Kant was physically and mentally exhausted, he still couldn’t put his mind at ease and lay on the bed to rest.
“I’ll go make a pot of tea.”Bunduk and Kant had been together for a long time, so he naturally knew Kant’s current state of mind. In order to avoid the tense atmosphere because of this question, he got up and walked to the bathroom.
After Bunduk left, Kant sat down on a chair by the window. He looked at the night view downstairs. He hoped that Abel would appear safe and sound in his field of vision.
His troubled emotions were restless in Kant’s heart. He looked at the lights on both sides of the street and was unconsciously lost in thought. He did not even realize that Bunduk had appeared behind him.
“Your Highness, the weather on this island is quite cold at night.”Bunduk carefully put on a coat for Kant to resist the cold of the night wind.
“Thank you,”Kant replied with a smile.
“Your Highness, I think we might be able to leave this place,”Bunduk said carefully after a moment of silence.
“Why?”Kant’s voice was very soft. He didn’t even turn his head to look at Bunduk.
“The things on this island are really too troublesome. They are scheming layer by layer. “Even Gilbert has his guard up against us. He needs to send someone to test our sincerity.”Bunduk frowned and said, “I really don’t want to bet the safety of our group on such a person.”
“Yes.”Kant nodded slightly, he said, “What you said is very reasonable. “But if you want to interfere in a group that has already developed and take control of the clues you want to obtain, you have to go through this process. “I hope I don’t have to place my hopes on a lie.”This sentence was originally a refutation
Chapter 914: receiving the soldier’s mission back
“But…”after hearing Kant’s words, Bunduk said hesitantly.
“I understand myself. I know where we are now.”Kant turned around and looked at Bunduk, he said, “If I really can’t hold on any longer, I will let go. “With the current situation, I still can’t make a judgment. “If I don’t think about moving forward at this time, how can I face Claremont and the others who lost their lives in the sea?”
“Your Highness.”Bunduk fixed his gaze on Kant. After seeing the sincerity in Kant’s eyes, he lowered his head and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I misspoke.”
Kant shook his head gently and continued to look out the window, sizing up the night scene on the street.
On the other side, Abel was escorting the inn’s attendant and Axi into the court.
“Sorry, no one is allowed to enter the court.”An attendant from the monitoring office stopped Abel and the others from following closely behind axi. After escorting the attendant and the Gnome into the court, he completely pulled down the curtains of the office.
“Captain, what should we do now?”An Elven soldier asked Abel, who was leaning against the door.
“What can we do… Ah, right. Don’t we still have a group of brothers in prison? Now it’s time for us to bring them out.”Abel thought for a while, a look of joy appeared on his face. He raised his voice and spoke to the soldier beside him.
Everyone was extremely excited when they heard the news.
It was something that everyone was proud of to be able to openly bring their comrades back from the monitoring station.
“Let’s Go!”Abel waved his arm and called out to the soldier.
The group of people walked towards the reception desk of the monitoring station. When they arrived at the reception desk, Abel slapped his hands on the wooden table at the reception desk, he said, “Hello, we are soldiers from Caradia. Two days ago, our soldier was escorted here by your patrol team on the street. We are here to bring them out of prison.”
“You Are… You Are…”the attendant looked at Abel’s face in panic, trying hard to find the relevant mark in his memory. When he recalled the other party’s identity, he shouted, “Captain Abel of the Elf Kingdom!”
“Yes.”Abel heard this title and was slightly startled. But after that, he immediately replied, “Now that the case has been investigated, the responsibility is not ours. Quickly release him.”
“I’ll go and ask…”the attendant replied respectfully.
“Didn’t Gilbert inform you?”Abel immediately frowned and interrupted the attendant’s words.
“M. . . Lord Gilbert did not give us the right to release the prisoners… so…”after the attendant was stopped by Bunduk, he could not help but tremble. After calming himself down, he turned around and replied.
“Alright, please move faster.”Abel nodded and said, “Also, I want to remind you that our soldier is not a prisoner.”
“Yes, yes, yes,”the attendant replied repeatedly. His feet seemed to have been smeared with oil as he dashed towards the corridor’s entrance.
“Tell me, did he hear what I just said…”Abel curled his lips and said to the people beside him.
The waiter was indeed fast. Five minutes later, he appeared in front of Abel and the others with a waiter with a badge on his chest.
“Hello, Lord Abel.”The other waiter’s face was very determined. When he saw Abel, his expression did not change at all. At this time, he introduced himself to Abel. “My name is Wayne. I’m the person in charge of supervising the prison cell of the surveillance bureau.”
“Hello, I’m Abel. I hope you can take us to the prison cells of the surveillance bureau. Our soldier has been there for a few days,”Abel said straightforwardly.
“Yes, please follow me.”Wayne looked at the soldier behind Abel and nodded in response.
Abel followed behind Wayne silently, his eyes maintaining vigilance.
Wayne led them through the corridor in the back hall and arrived at the garden that Abel had passed when he was chasing Potts and the others.
“Where’s the prison cell?”Abel asked the moment he stepped into the garden.
“After passing through this garden, we can see the house that leads to the prison cell.”Wayne paused, he continued, “I heard that you, Lord Abel, are Lord Gilbert’s trusted aide. “Most of the reason why you were allowed to walk to the prison cell was because of Lord Gilbert’s trust in you. “I hope that you can keep everything that you see in your hearts.”
“Of course.”Abel nodded and promised.
Wayne nodded in relief, then quietly led Abel and the others to the back of the garden.
After walking to the fence, Wayne took out a key from his waist. He unlocked the door. After passing through the door, a wooden house appeared in front of Abel and the others.
The wooden house was built on a grassy plain, about three minutes away from the back door of the garden.
After walking into the grass that was half the height of a human, Abel immediately realized that the grass was not real grass, but was made of a material that was easy to shape.
Even though they emitted a fresh fragrance, and even their texture was very soft, the difference between real and fake was very obvious to the water elf.
Abel glanced at Wayne’s back and roughly confirmed in his heart that he was indeed leading them to the prison.
Not long after, Abel arrived at the wooden house. The building was not very spacious, and it was still too narrow to be used as a prison.
“Is this a prison cell?”Abel asked.
“Yes.”Wayne answered Abel’s question while taking out his key chain and identifying the marks on each key.
After receiving the answer, Abel took a few steps back and looked at the wooden house. There were three floors in this building. If the attic on the roof was included, it counted as four floors. Judging from the degree of corrosion on the surface of the house, it should have been newly repaired.
“If I’m a prisoner, the location of the attic is more suitable for me,”Abel thought in boredom.
“Captain Abel!”Wayne turned around and greeted Abel after he used the key to unlock the door.
“Okay.”Abel Strode to Wayne’s side and looked at the space inside the wooden house.
“There’s no one here.”The group walked into the wooden house and stopped at the entrance.
As far as their eyes could see, the place had been decorated to look like a common residence. However, some of the furniture had been covered in dust.
“The people who are imprisoned won’t live here.”
Chapter 915: a very secluded prison cell
“They’re underground,”Wayne explained.
“Basement?”Abel suddenly said, and then his face darkened.
“Yes.”Wayne nodded. “Lord Abel, why don’t you wait here for a while. I’ll go get the soldiers.”
“Let’s go together.”Abel shook his head and said. Then he signaled the soldier behind him to follow him and walked with Wayne to the entrance of the basement.
If he stood at the stairway and looked down, he could only see some debris piled up by the wall.
Abel walked down the stairs to the basement with some suspicion. When he looked around, the soldier of the monitoring station who appeared in his field of vision gave him a fright.
“DAMN!”Abel shouted. “Why are they standing here?”
“Someone needs to guard the door of the cell.”Wayne scratched his head and replied awkwardly, “I’m sorry, I forgot to tell you this news, Lord.”
“It… it doesn’t matter.”After listening to Wayne’s explanation, Abel heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Where is the cell?”
“Open the door.”Wayne nodded slightly at Abel and ordered the soldier standing in the corner.
“Yes.”The two GNOME soldier walked to the Western Wall and moved away the dusty bookcase. A turntable inlaid with crystals appeared in front of everyone.
Wayne walked forward and stood behind the two soldier. When the turntable was turned, the stone door also opened with a rumble. Abel followed Wayne into the door. The road ahead was illuminated by orange lights. The space they were in was extremely wide. Even the slightest sound could be heard.
“Bring the people from cells 1004 and 1003 here,”Wayne ordered the soldiers lined up on both sides of the road.
“Yes,”the soldier replied.
Although the room was well-lit, Abel could not see the soldier’s face clearly. When the soldier responded, he found that their voices were unusually old.
“You built the cell in such a place, are you worried that someone will escape?”Abel watched the soldier leave and asked Wayne.
“Yes.”Wayne invited Abel and the others to sit down on the chairs by the door and answered, “But not exactly.”
“Huh? Tell me about it.”Abel raised his eyebrows and said.
Wayne looked at Abel and explained, “This matter is not suitable for me to explain to you, Lord. I can only say that this prison is actually a private property of the GNOME race. It is only temporarily rented to the monitoring station.”
“Okay.”Abel knew that Wayne had already revealed all the information he could tell him, so he tactfully stopped asking and changed the topic. He said, “Since this prison is under the control of the monitoring station, then in the past few days, Potts and the others have also been brought here.”
“Yes.”Wayne’s gaze shifted to the direction where the soldier had left. He nodded and replied, “Not only Potts, but also the group of hooligans who had a conflict with the Lord’s soldier a few days ago. They were also sent here.”
“I’m a little surprised that the monitoring station acted so quickly this time,”Abel said, puzzled.
“The order to act… was personally issued by Lord Gilbert.”Wayne hesitated for a moment and said, “It did not enter the monitoring station’s investigation procedure.”
Hearing this, Abel turned his head and looked at the attendant from head to toe. His gaze became complicated.
But at that moment, the soldier who had left earlier brought Caradia’s soldiers to Wayne and Abel.
“Captain Abel!”The last few days in prison had not been easy. Every soldier looked ashen. Furthermore, before the soldier brought them here, he did not tell them what the purpose of this trip was. Therefore, the moment they saw Abel, almost all the soldiers were overjoyed and shouted.
When Abel saw them, he also revealed a relaxed smile. He walked forward and asked with concern, “Are you all okay?”
“We’re fine,”the soldier in prison uniform replied in unison.
“Can you please bring the soldier’s own clothes over? This prison uniform doesn’t suit them very well,”Abel asked Wayne.
“Alright.”Wayne nodded and walked to the side, giving some instructions to his soldier.
“Lord Abel, we knew that King Kant would send you to rescue us,”a soldier said happily.
“Yes.”Abel nodded slowly and said, “We have to go back the way we arrived on this island. No one can be left behind.”
After hearing Abel’s words, most of the soldiers were moved.
“Lord Abel, how’s the situation outside?”A soldier asked Abel while waiting.
“Many things happened during the few days you were in prison. “However, we achieved good results,”Abel replied as he recalled. “Also, the nomads who clashed with you were punished by the surveillance bureau.”
“We met those guys in the cell,”a soldier asked worriedly. “Captain Abel, they won’t be released after staying here for a few days, right?”
“Probably not,”Abel said as he glanced at Wayne, who was standing by the wall.
“The punishment for those people is to stay in this prison for three years. Most of the people who spoke for them in the prison have fallen. Don’t worry,”Wayne said.
After hearing Wayne’s words, the soldier’s expressions changed. They weren’t exactly happy.
“It’s just as the Lord said. A part of the threat on the island has been eliminated. The situation is developing in a good direction,”Abel continued and said to his subordinate soldiers.
The soldier nodded and whispered to each other.
After a while, the soldier’s uniforms were brought to the front of the group.
After the soldier received their uniforms, he cheered one after another. At this moment, everyone felt the sense of freedom.
“Let’s go.”After the soldiers who were imprisoned put on their armor, Abel gave the order to everyone.
The group of about twenty people just now had increased to more than forty people. When they gathered at the entrance of the basement, they looked even more aggressive, which was slightly out of line with the surrounding environment.
“Thank you,”Abel said to Wayne.
“Okay, everyone, be careful.”Wayne stopped at the entrance of the basement. He waved at Abel and replied.
After Abel and the others left, Wayne walked through the stone door again. The two GNOME soldier looked at each other, walked to the turntable, and turned it with great effort. The stone door was closed.
Chapter 916: Betrayal of an inn attendant
“Rumble!”When Abel led his men to the living room of the wooden house, a loud noise came from the basement. This noise made everyone stop.
Abel frowned and looked in the direction of the basement for a while. However, he did not choose to return to the basement to check the situation. Instead, he led the soldier out of the wooden house.
“Lord Abel, aren’t we going back to take a look?”A soldier came to Abel’s side and asked.
“The matter with the court should be over. We still have to go back to pick up the inn’s attendant.”Abel shook his head gently and replied.
“Yes.”After receiving Abel’s order, the soldier bowed and left. After all, Abel was the leader who was responsible for commanding the entire team. As a common soldier, he could only give some suggestions when necessary.
The group passed through the garden and arrived at the back hall of the monitoring station. Abel’s sense of direction was pretty good. After a while, he found the inn’s attendant and Yasi’s office.
However, the process of handling the case was a little more complicated than Abel had expected. The judge had yet to make a decision, and Abel and the others stood outside the door. They could only hear the debate between the attendant and ash.
“What’s going on with these two?”Abel felt that something was wrong. If they had followed the procedure they had arranged before, confronting them would have been a very easy matter.
After hesitating for a while, Abel walked to the guard guarding the door and asked tentatively, “Hello, May I ask what happened inside? The time it took to handle the case was a little too long.”
“Nothing.”The guard curled his lips, “It’s just that the orcs wanted the judge to sentence the gnome involved to death. They’ve been arguing for more than ten minutes. It seems that the judge doesn’t know how to deal with it.”
“What? !”Hearing the guard’s words, Abel’s heart turned cold. Where did this inn attendant learn his habit of killing people to the last man.
This time, the Gnome would be in deep trouble.
The soldier who understood the situation also had a shocked expression on his face.
Abel walked dejectedly to a chair at the side and sat down. He sighed, he said, “This gnome is willing to turn himself in to the Overwatch Council because he believes what we said. Now that he’s in a dangerous situation, we can’t interfere.”
“Hey!”At that moment, the Guard standing at the door called out to Abel. “The court is now adjourned. You can go in.”
“Really?”Abel walked to the guard’s side with joy and looked into the hall. The judge had already walked down from his seat.
“Yes, but only you can go in.”The guard pointed at the soldier behind Abel and warned, “They can’t. If there are too many people, I won’t be able to explain myself.”
“Yes, thank you, thank you.”Abel gestured for the soldier to return to the leisure area to rest. He walked into the hall of the court with his last glimmer of hope.
When the attendant at the table noticed Abel’s entrance, an embarrassed expression immediately appeared on the attendant’s face. In order to not be discovered by Abel, he tried his best to hide his figure.
However, Abel still caught a glimpse of where the attendant was and walked straight towards him.
The attendant sighed, stood up and greeted him. “Lord Abel! Why are you here? No one is allowed to enter or leave this place without permission.”
The attendant’s voice was very loud, and many people in the hall cast puzzled gazes at him.
“You… What’s Your Name?”Abel was so angry that he had lost his mind. After noticing the gazes of the people around him, he tried hard to calm down his emotions and asked the attendant.
“Bloom,”the attendant nervously pressed his lips together and answered.
“Bloom, give up on the accusation. Ashe is here to help us. He shouldn’t have such an ending,”Abel advised patiently.
“No, he’s doing it for himself.”A hint of hatred appeared in the attendant’s eyes, he retorted, “You’re doing it for yourself as well. Only we will think for ourselves wholeheartedly. And what everyone in our inn wants now is for this gnome to die.”
Abel stared at the attendant in front of him, whose emotions were already somewhat out of control, and revealed an expression of disbelief. He said in puzzlement, “Why… are you able to say such things?”
He recalled the actions that Caradia’s side had taken since the incident. Abel did not quite understand the attendant’s outburst of emotions at this moment. From what he said, the attitude of the attendants who had survived were mostly like this.
This was truly too chilling.
“If you had stayed that day, we wouldn’t have lost so many people,”the attendant said with a ferocious expression.
“Me!”Abel took a deep breath when his emotions were about to burst. “I don’t have that much time to talk about this with you. I want you to promise me that you won’t charge axi with the death penalty.”
“Impossible.”The attendant gnashed his teeth. “He must die. If I do something wrong, I will bear the consequences.”
“How are you going to bear the consequences? !”Abel could not help but Roar in anger. was this attendant treating his life as a child’s game?
“It has nothing to do with you. Come quickly! Someone is breaking into the court. He is holding me hostage!”After the attendant coldly left these words, he called out to the surroundings.
Before the guards in the court pounced over, Abel glanced at the guards standing at the door and saw that they were continuously gesturing to him: Hurry up and come out!
“I’m sorry,”Abel said softly.
It was unknown if the guards at the door understood what he said, but the group of attendants who had rushed over to Abel had already been knocked to the ground.
There was a hint of determination in Abel’s eyes as he walked towards the seat where Axi was.
“Stop him quickly!”The attendant’s roar came from behind.
However, how could the clumsy guards keep up with the ELF officer’s footsteps. Abel grabbed Axi’s arm and said to him, “I’ll take you away!”
“No, Abel.”Axi’s eyes seemed to be unfocused. “You don’t have to take this risk.”
“He’s really confident that the judge will sentence you to death!”Abel widened his eyes and said to axi, “Let’s rush out first. We’ll talk about it later.”
“Thank you.”Yasi raised his head and looked at Abel. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile as he replied, “I know that you and Kant didn’t lie to me. I Won’t drag you down.”
The guards formed a circular formation around Abel. They walked forward cautiously.
“Throw him out!”The judge stood in front of the stage and ordered. His tone was filled with anger, and it was even trembling.
