Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 813: Guild run by Snake Girl

Abel held the bell in his hand for a while and said with a smile: "I didn't expect such a convenient thing to exist in this hotel. I really couldn't tell it from the words of the hotel owner."

"This rope should be connected to the kitchen." Kant said, "Come and see what we will order for dinner today."

"Yes." Abel put down the bell and nodded.

The two sat at the tea table and discussed tonight's dishes.

"Abel, don't you order a staple food? I see you only ordered two vegetable salads." Kant looked at the menu and asked doubtfully.

"It doesn't matter, my usual staple food is these." Abel smiled and shook his head and said: "And I am a vegetarian. Your Majesty Kant, do we need to wake up Commander Bandak? Because I don't know what he wants. Something."

"No, he must be really tired." Kant replied without raising his head: "Let him sleep a little longer. I'll just order him some staple food recommended in the store."

"Well, okay." Abel glanced in the direction of the bed where Bandak was lying, and there was snoring coming from inside.

Kant closed the noted menu, walked to the porch and rang the bell. After a while, they heard footsteps approaching the door.

"Dong dong dong!" The cooks in work clothes knocked on the door of the guest room.

Kant smelled the smell of oil smoke on the other party the moment he opened the door.

"Hello. Are you the customer who ordered?" the cook asked politely.

"Yes." Kant smiled and handed the menu to the other party and said, "Please come in person."

"It's okay." The waiter took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, and took the menu. He responded: "Please wait a moment, dinner will be delivered in a while."

"Are these dishes already prepared?" Kant asked in surprise.

"Yeah. And it's freshly baked." The cook thought that Kant was worried about the freshness of the dishes, so he hurriedly explained: "The first batch of dishes we made are all for distinguished guests like you."

"That's it." Kant nodded and said, "Thank you."

The cook waved his hand and said, "If you don't have any other questions,

I'll take my leave first. "

"Okay." Kant watched the cook leave and then returned to the guest room.

At this time, Bandak had been woken up by Abel and was washing in a separate bathroom.

"Bandak is awake?" Kant sat down at the tea table, poured himself a glass of water, and asked Abel.

"Yes." Abel was packing his luggage and turned around and replied: "Just when I was about to call him, he woke up on his own."

"Just rest enough." Kant said, picking up the notes on the tea table and reading them again.

The three of them were busy with their own affairs and spent the time before dinner peacefully.

When the waiter who pushed the dining cart into the room was passing dishes to the table, Bandak walked out of the bathroom with long wet hair.

Watching the waiter leave in a hurry, Bandak asked curiously: "What happened to him?"

"It seems like a teenage girl saw you walking out topless. Of course she was not very embarrassed." Abel responded while stirring the vegetable salad in the bowl.

"Sorry, I didn't pay much attention." Bandak smiled awkwardly, and immediately found a coat from the suitcase on the side and put it on himself.

"Hurry up and sit down to eat." Kant greeted Bandak: "You shouldn't go to the bathroom to take a shower immediately after waking up. It's easy to faint if you do that."

"This is the usual habit." Bandak said with a laugh.

"I don't know much about what you like to eat, so I ordered a steak set for you." Kant glanced at Bandak and said, "If you don't like it, you can use the bell at the door to order from the waiter."

Bandak must have been really hungry, so he picked up the large pieces of steak on the plate and chopped them into pieces. After listening to Kant's words, he wiped his mouth, turned back to look at the door, and said, "What is the function of that bell?"

"If you rang it, a waiter would be sent from the kitchen on the first floor," Abel explained.

"That's it." Bandak thought for a moment and nodded.

Abel glanced at Bandak and said to Kant: "Your Majesty, according to Gilbert, the Dragon Clan has spread the news about taking us to the castle for talks. Do you think that after him, the Dwarf Clan also Will you come to meet us?”

"Probably not." After Kant took a sip of soup, he frowned and responded: "The dwarf clan is in the eye of the storm now, and is probably busier than the dragon clan. They probably don't have time to see us. But you do remind us. Please tell me, when we go out to inquire about information tomorrow, we must also inquire about the situation near this volcano."

"Your Majesty, where are we going tomorrow?" Bandak's voice sounded unclear as he was still chewing food.

"First go to the guild we heard about today." Kant put down the tableware and replied: "The time left for us is not enough. I have marked the key guilds we must go to. After dinner, you guys Remember to take a good look at your notes."

"Yes." Abel agreed.

"The dinner at this hotel is quite late." Kant wiped his mouth with a napkin, gestured to the other two to slow down, and said: "Tomorrow we will find a tavern in the town to have dinner and then come back. .”

"Okay." Bandak nodded.

"It's getting late, so I'll go back to my room to rest first." Kant pushed away the chair, stood up and said, "You guys should also go to bed early. Don't forget to read your notes."

"yes."

Kant looked at the two of them and nodded, turned around and walked to the bedroom.

After Kant left, Bandak called the waiter and gave himself an extra serving of pasta.

Looking at Bandak sucking in the noodles, Abel reluctantly walked to the tea table and studied the notes written by Kant alone.

"Where is the first place we will go tomorrow?" After finishing his dinner, Bandak sat down next to Abel with a tea cup and asked.

"Ratata, the name of this guild is quite strange." Abel pointed at the letters circled in red and said doubtfully.

"Oh, I remember this." Bandak responded: "It seems to be nearby downstairs. The boss who runs this guild is a snake woman himself."

"Go to the union run by the snake girl to inquire about a snake girl. Isn't it too ostentatious?" Abel said with a frown.

"How is it possible? We will act accordingly when the time comes." Bandak was not too worried about this issue and responded: "And those who are in the business of asking for information must at least have professional ethics."

Chapter 814: A peaceful night

"Okay." Abel nodded in agreement. He continued to pick up the note and read it, but after asking Bandak several questions, he received no response.

Just when he was wondering, Bandak's heavy head rested on his shoulder, and his calm breathing reached Abel's ears.

"Asleep." Abel lowered his head and looked at Bandak's sleeping face, and said softly: "Didn't he sleep all afternoon today? It's strange that he didn't even read his notes. This man is really..."

Abel carried the sleeping Bandak to the bed in the bedroom and made him lie flat on the bed. After blowing out the candlesticks in the room, he gently closed the door and walked out.

Until late at night, Abel finally fell asleep on the cork recliner in the wing with his notes in his arms.

The next morning, Abel was still the first one to wake up. After all, the soft wooden chair was not as comfortable as sleeping on the soft bed in the bedroom.

After taking a look at the quiet guest room, he guessed that Kant and Bandak were still sleeping. Abel dragged his aching body into the bathroom.

In fact, before coming into contact with the soldiers of Calradia, he had no obsession with bathing.

However, after seeing Clemont and others taking a leisurely bath in the hotel's large bathhouse, Abel also began to think that bathing was one of the ways to cheer people up.

As a water elf, he has indeed gained a lot of benefits from it.

Wait until Abel took a bath and walked out of the bathroom. Kant had already sat on a chair at the dining table and was having his morning tea.

"Good morning, Your Majesty," Abel greeted.

"Good morning." Kant raised his head and responded: "What's wrong with you? You don't look like you're in good spirits."

"I accidentally fell asleep while lying on the chair last night. I feel a little pain in my shoulders now." Abel answered while waving his arms back and forth.

"I'll go to the medicine box and get you some plaster." Kant said, stood up and walked to his door, then stuck his head out and said, "By the way, it's getting late now. Please help me. Wake up Bandak."

"Yes!" Abel was stunned for a moment, and then replied after coming to his senses.

After pushing open the door of Bandak's room, the familiar sound of snoring reached his ears. Abel frowned: he was really a little angry. They went through all kinds of troubles to come to this small town with the purpose of finding the real culprit behind framing DeWitt and others. However, since Bandak arrived at the hotel, he looked listless and spent most of his time sleeping.

"Commander Bandak! It's time to get up now!" Abel walked to the bed and shouted to the sleeping Bandak.

The snoring finally stopped, and Bandak's body moved. But he had no intention of waking up.

Abel sighed, stretched out his hand and shook Bandak, and said: "Bandak, get up quickly! We are going to perform a mission!"

After a while, Bandak opened his eyes in confusion, raised his head and said to Abel, "Abel, what are you doing?"

"I'm waking you up." Abel looked at Bandak strangely and said.

"Oh," Bandak stared at Abel in a daze for a while, then sighed and said, "I just had a nightmare."

"What did you dream about?" Abel asked as he sat down beside Bandak's bed.

"I dreamed that people on this island were fighting. I don't know why, but you were among the people fighting. I went to pull you, and you beat me too." Bandak responded: "Then the two of us fight. Get up, and then you die."

After describing the entire dream, Bandak glanced at Abel timidly.

"You're not good at expressing yourself." Abel was confused after hearing this. After a while, he replied: "And why was it me who died in the dream? As a mage, you would hold me down in place. Beaten to death?"

"I don't know either." Bandak shook his head and replied: "I only remember that my hands were covered with blood."

Seeing Bandak's guilty look, Abel relaxed his tone and comforted: "Don't worry, it's just a dream. I still have the consciousness that I won't confront you. Get up and wash up quickly. His Majesty Kant, too. I’ve been waiting for you for a while.”

"Okay." Bandak looked at Abel's leaving back and patted his head hard with his hand. In fact, the reason why this dream happened is also related to his daily thoughts.

I don't know why, but he has been looking at Abel strangely recently. I always feel that the other party's behavior is very suspicious.

"My head is really broken," Bandak frowned and muttered softly.

"Abel, come here and sit down." Kant was studying the medicine bottles in the medicine box at this time. After seeing Abel walking out of Bandak's bedroom, he immediately asked him to sit down in front of him.

"Your Majesty," Abel called in embarrassment after sitting down as instructed and seeing the bottles and cans in front of him.

"Don't worry, I just turned them over and looked at them out of curiosity." Kant raised a small bottle of white ointment in his hand and explained: "You only need to apply this."

"Well, that's good." Abel breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"For mages like you, if you don't take care of the root causes of diseases that usually break your muscles and bones, the damage to your body will be great." Kant warned Abel while opening the medicine bottle.

"It can't be that serious, right?" Halfway through Abel's defensive words, he felt that the ointment on his back was burning like fire, and he couldn't help but scream.

"Are you okay?" Kant asked with concern: "This ointment works well. It's just that it has some special effects at the beginning."

"It's okay." Abel pursed his lips tightly and responded.

After washing, Bandak sat aside and said while chewing slices of bread: "Abel, why didn't you go back to bed yesterday?"

"I fell asleep while sitting here reading my notes." Abel glared at Bandak and said through gritted teeth.

"Ah, by the way. I haven't read that notebook very much yet." Bandak said suddenly as he suddenly remembered the task Kant assigned last night.

"It's too late to look now." Kant glanced at Bandak helplessly and said, "Come and help me apply the ointment. We have to leave early later."

"I'm sorry." Bandak said apologetically to Abel.

After saying that, he put down his breakfast, squeezed a small amount of ointment into his hand, and massaged Abel's neck.

"It's okay." Abel glanced at him helplessly and nodded.

Kant walked to the door, rang the bell, and summoned the waiter who was responsible for clearing the dishes.

Chapter 815: Cheetah appears out of thin air

After the three people walked out of the hotel, they immediately ran towards the 'Ratata' guild.

But when I got there, I discovered: There was a sign hanging at the door of the 'Ratata' Guild - it said that the shopkeeper was out for business and that it would open at six o'clock today.

The entrance of the guild was lined with many homeless people who came here just like Kant and others. After seeing the notice at the door, many people turned and left.

"Your Highness, why don't we go look elsewhere first?" Bandak suggested.

"Yeah, okay." Kant nodded. Just as the three of them were about to leave with the crowd, a young man wearing rather old clothes stopped them——

"Are you Lord Kant of the Calradia Empire?" The young man had a very expressive expression. After standing in front of Kant, he shouted excitedly: "I am an animal trainer, my name is Peak."

Bandak took a step forward, stood in front of Piqué, and asked him, "What can I do for you?"

"I live near here. When His Highness Gilbert came to see you yesterday, I happened to pass by there." Pique introduced: "This time, I mainly want to make friends with you."

"We are not here to make friends with people." Abel said coldly. Intuitively, he didn't think the animal trainer in front of him was a good person.

"We are all fellow human beings, why should we be so hostile to each other?" Pique still had a bright smile on his face and advised: "Maybe we can still take care of each other in the future."

Kant sighed and prepared to turn his back and leave.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't leave." Peak looked at Kant's back and said, "If you leave, you won't have the chance to enter this guild to inquire about the information you want."

Kant paused after hearing this. He opened his mouth and asked, "What do you mean?"

Peake closed the distance between the three of them and explained to Kant in a low voice: "Those who left as soon as they saw the notice are the newcomers to this town. 'Ratata' only recruits a few people every day." Ten guests, the number is not fixed. If you leave now, when you come back later, there will already be a long queue at the door, and there will be no chance of getting in. "

"Really?" Abel raised his eyebrows and said.

"I'm here to tell you this." Pique said sincerely: "Look at those squatting at the door, refusing to leave. They are all experienced people. I guess they are still praying in their hearts to leave. The more people there are, the better. Okay."

"So it turns out that you guys are taking this path." Bandak raised his head, looked around and said.

"Hey, now you know that I am really here to be your friend." Pique said with a smile.

Kant and Abel looked at each other, coughed twice, and said: "Since we are all idlers, meeting each other can be regarded as fate. It's awkward to call us friends. It's better to say that you let me know you today. Such a person."

Peake didn't quite understand what Kant meant. After thinking for a while, he waved his hand and said, "As long as we know each other, it doesn't matter. I'm just here to send you a message."

"Yes." Kant nodded and said: "Bandak, you stay here with Mr. Animal Tamer and wait for the guild to open. Abel and I will go check out other places during this time."

"Me?" Bandak looked up at the sky, and finally compromised: "Okay. Please pay attention to your safety."

"I will protect His Highness Kant." Abel promised Bandak.

"Where are you two going next?" Pique asked curiously.

"It's not convenient to tell you." Abel shook his head and said.

"Abel, let's go." Kant greeted Abel after walking a short distance alone.

"Yes." After Abel said 'goodbye' to Bandak, he immediately caught up with Kant.

After spring arrives, the sunshine in the city becomes warmer.

Bandak and Peake stood side by side on the main street, feeling sleepy without realizing it.

"I don't know why I always feel bad about sleeping recently." Bandak tried his best to open his eyes and took the initiative to talk to Pique.

"Maybe it's spring." Pique replied softly.

"Are you saying that people will become sleepy in spring?" Bandak chuckled: "But I used to never have such a special feeling when it comes to this time every year."

"Yeah." Pique turned sideways, nodded to Bandak and said, "Maybe it's because you were missing something."

"What?" Bandak looked at him and asked strangely.

"This." The corners of Pique's mouth curled up, and he reached out his hand to reach behind Bandak's ear. A flying insect emitting purple fluorescence landed on his hand.

Bandak touched his neck and said, "What is this?"

"'Yinchi' is a kind of magical flying insect. It lives by sucking people's essence." Pique explained, and then the flying insect disappeared from his finger.

"It turns out it's because of it. Why is there this kind of thing on my body?" Bandak wondered: "Why did it disappear again?"

"Because he is now living in my body." Pique said calmly.

"Are you its trainer?" Bandak was stunned for a moment and immediately kept a distance from Piqué. His eyes also became wary.

"Yeah." Pique replied calmly.

"Are you a person sent by the dark side?" Bandak's right hand was already on the handle of the knife at his waist.

"Haha. That's a good guess." Pique smiled and said, "So, do you still plan to continue to pursue it?"

"You framed a whole ship of our soldiers and let them die at sea. Why can't we pursue it?" There was a trace of hatred in Bandak's eyes.

"Because that would be the worst choice." Pique's eyes flashed with a sharp edge, and he replied viciously: "Actually, what I meant above is to let you just hit a wall in this small town. Unexpectedly, you actually ended up with We still have intersections with Gilbert. Early this morning, Clara was kidnapped by his men and is now being interrogated in an unknown dark interrogation room. It’s all because of your talkativeness!”

"How could you people think of Gilbert's relationship with a soldier who died in our team?" Bandak replied loudly: "Although his method is a bit extreme, I don't think it is What’s wrong with that.”

"Trash who only asks for help from others." Pique roared angrily: "You will have to endure twice as much pain as Carat suffered at the hands of those Gilberts."

"Come on!" Bandak drew out his long sword and confronted Pique.

"Porphyrin!" After the ring on Pique's hand received spiritual power, a ray of silver light flashed, and a cheetah appeared in front of Bandak.

Chapter 816: The defeated commander

Look at the black mist covering the cheetah.

Bandak's eyes narrowed alertly, and his hands tightly grasped the handle of the knife.

"Go!" Piqué commanded 'Porphyrin'.

The cheetah immediately rushed in front of Bandak with great speed, revealing its sharp fangs.

The homeless people on the street ran away from the place when the war started. Only residents living nearby lay on their second-floor windows and continued to watch.

"Ahhh!" Bandak shouted, swinging his sword and slashing at the cheetah.

However, the cheetah's body was too flexible, and Bandak's sword only touched some of its fur.

"Roar!" The cheetah's eyes were filled with scarlet blood. He raised his claws and rushed towards Bandak.

Bandak rolled onto his side and dodged his attack. His eyes caught sight of Pique who was casting a spell behind the cheetah.

"Quick victory." Bandak said silently in his heart. He put his long sword on his waist and dived towards Piqué's position.

"Roar!" The cheetah rushed in front of Pique and blocked his way.

"It's really troublesome." Bandak tried to get closer to Peake while avoiding the cheetah's attack.

In his eyes: Pique can only control one beast. As long as Pique's spiritual energy injection into the cheetah can be cut off, the threat posed by the cheetah will disappear.

"Stop." Bandak reluctantly walked up to Peak, and in the gap between the cheetah and the cheetah, he scratched his arm with his long sword.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still. The sweat on Bandak's forehead wetted his eyelashes. There was the sound of windows being closed from someone's house on the second floor. After Pique frowned because of the injury to his arm, a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Bandak looked at the huge shadow on the ground and his eyes widened in horror. Before he could turn around, the cheetah, which had grown several times in size, was slapped into the brick wall of a roadside house.

Some small bugs the size of rice grains emerged from the wound on Pique's arm, licking the blood that flowed out. After a while, the flesh and blood returned to its previous appearance.

Pique tore off his torn sleeve, walked up to the unconscious Bandak, smiled and said, "It's really stupid. The pet I have is much better than me."

Peake grabbed Bandak's hair and dragged him out of the brick wall. And he greeted the cheetah behind him: "Porphyrin, let's go back."

The light of the ring on his finger dimmed, and the cheetah disappeared into the air.

Abel and Kant were two streets away at this time, rushing towards the scene of the battle with all their strength.

After they entered a guild, they heard the news about the arrest of Kara from the snake tribe from the people who were traveling with them.

Gilbert's unexpected action made Kant and Bandak's hearts hang.

After a while, Abel saw a few familiar homeless people in the crowd who had been squatting at the entrance of the 'Ratata' guild.

Then he stepped forward to talk to him in confusion: "Hello, we have met at the entrance of the Snake Girl Guild before. Why are you here?"

"There are two lunatics fighting over there, and we really can't stay any longer. We just came here." The homeless man responded: "It's such a pity, but I managed to get a front position today."

"Is there someone fighting?" An ominous premonition arose in Abel's heart.

"Yes, one of them is wearing armor. He seems to be a soldier from the human race." The wanderer thought about it for a while and said, "That's right."

Before the homeless man could finish his words, Abel had already run out of the crowd and reported the news to Kant.

The two of them immediately raised their feet and ran towards the door of the 'Ratata' Guild. And on the road they met many patrolling soldiers of the goblin clan who were traveling with them.

"I didn't expect anyone would dare to cause trouble in the town now." Kant heard a goblin complain.

"I seem to have heard that the troublemakers are members of the dark side. The movement among those people has become more and more loud recently." Another goblin said, "I wonder how far the trouble went this time?"

Kant sighed and said: "That person named Peake turns out to be a member of the dark side. We should be more vigilant."

"Now I just hope Bandak can hold on. Delay a little longer and let us rescue him." Abel said.

Unfortunately, the battle did not last long. When the two stood in front of the "Rata Tower" guild again, they only saw a messy ground and a collapsed brick building.

"What's going on! General, you have to make the decision for me. My brick house was newly built after finally getting permission." The owner of the house was crying to the goblin soldiers who came over.

"Okay, okay, we will compensate you." The goblin leader said in annoyance.

"Your Majesty, it seems that Bandak was knocked unconscious by the tamer and was taken away." Abel lowered his head and said to Kant: "Is all this because of Gilbert?"

"Maybe." Kant no longer had any strength and nodded.

"I don't know where Bandak was taken now. What should we do now?" Abel said at a loss.

"Go up the mountain and find the dwarfs." Kant was silent for a while and said: "Those dark side forces kidnapped the commander of Calradia's army. This is enough reason for us to declare war on them."

"Are Calradia's troops going to attack this island?" Abel asked.

"Well, that's what I think." Kant nodded and said, "Before that, let's ask the leader of the dwarf tribe. I originally didn't want this matter to become a cross-border dispute."

"Well, I will do my best to support your Majesty." Abel promised: "I hope to rescue Bandak this morning."

"The man named Peake didn't kill him, it must be because he wanted to exchange Bandak and Kelat. Before we go to see the dwarfs, we have to go to the goblin country."

"But Gilbert said that he will not cooperate with us to investigate the shipwreck," Abel said hesitantly.

"No." Kant shook his head and said, "Gilbert just wanted to accept the attack of the dark side forces on our behalf. This incident can be said to be that we underestimated the action capabilities of the dark side forces."

"Okay." Abel nodded: "We will rush to the mountain immediately."

"Yes." Kant nodded in agreement.

The two of them hailed a passing carriage and rushed to the base where the teleportation array was located.

After paying a high fee at the front desk, Abel took Kant on the teleportation array and rushed to the territory where the Goblin Kingdom was located.

Now, Bandak's life is in the hands of those people. They could only seize the time to find a way to rescue this companion. The key to all this lies in the decision made by Gilbert.
