Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 817: Two people rushing to the top of the mountain

The teleportation array could not send them directly to the territory of the Goblin Kingdom. After Kant and Abel stopped at the stronghold halfway up the mountain, they asked for directions and rushed to the main city gate.

"Hey! I am Abel, the leader of the soldiers of the Elf tribe! I am friends with your Highness Gilbert, and now an emergency has happened! We must see him." After walking under the city gate, Abel faced The goblin soldiers on the city wall shouted.

The goblin soldiers who heard the noise looked at each other, but some soldiers still recognized Kant and Abel. He opened the city gate for them and walked down from the tower to greet them.

"Hello, Your Majesty Kant of Calradia." A goblin soldier walked up to Kant, saluted him and asked: "His Majesty Gilbert has not returned to the palace yet. I wonder why you are looking for him?"

"Where is Gilbert now?" Abel asked anxiously.

"We are on our way back from the snake girl's territory. We estimate that we won't be able to return to the country until late tonight." The goblin soldier answered Abel's question.

Kant nodded, bent down slightly, held the soldier's hand, and said, "Thank you. Today, one of our companions is missing. At present, this matter seems to be related to what Gilbert did when he went to the snake girl's territory. It is related to the matter. We would like to discuss the next countermeasures with His Highness Gilbert."

"I see." The goblin soldier frowned after hearing Kant's explanation. Then he greeted the two of them: "Then I will immediately send my soldiers to escort the two adults into the palace. I will report this matter to His Highness Gilbert after he returns to the city."

"Okay, I'll trouble you." Kant nodded and thanked.

The goblin soldier summoned the soldier on the side and whispered something into his ear. After the subordinate retreated, a carriage was pulled in front of Kant and Abel.

The goblin driver who got off the carriage set up the small ladder for boarding the carriage and then quietly stepped aside.

Kant and Abel looked at each other and said goodbye to the soldiers: "Goodbye, everyone."

"Be careful on the road." The goblin soldier warned.

Kant was the first to step on the ladder and board the carriage. The carriages of the goblins are smaller than the carriages used by the humans. After Abel also squeezed into the carriage, Kant could only tighten his shoulders helplessly.

Amid the cries of the horses, the carriage started moving and galloped towards the main road in the city.

Because of their awkward postures, Kant and Abel

Don't say a word the entire journey. Until half an hour passed, the coachman opened the door curtain and waved the two of them out of the car. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and walked outside the carriage to stretch their muscles.

"Two adults, we have arrived." The coachman pointed to the palace door and said, "The guards at the door will arrange your next trip."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Abel agreed.

"It's okay." The coachman said with a smile, "I'll take my leave now."

"Um."

After the carriage left in front of the palace, Kant looked around: This is not the center of the city, and there are not many buildings around it. Most of the few pedestrians walking up and down the street were richly dressed. It seems that this is a residential area specially provided for goblin nobles.

At this time, a soldier in armor stepped forward and spoke to the two of them: "Are you the guests who came to see His Highness Gilbert? Was it the army guarding the city that sent you here?"

"Yes." Kant nodded politely and replied, "I heard that His Highness Gilbert is on his way back to China. I wonder where we can wait for him?"

"Your Highness will probably have to wait until early in the morning to return to the palace to rest. Please follow me to the accommodation arranged for you first." The soldier responded: "When His Highness Gilbert returns home, soldiers will rush to inform you all immediately. .”

"Yeah, okay." Kant pursed his lips and agreed.

After the soldiers took the two men to a gorgeously decorated rest house, they excused themselves and left.

"Now we can only hope that Gilbert can return to this goblin country safely and meet us." Kant took a sip of tea and said to Abel.

"Yes." Abel leaned against the window and responded softly: "I wonder how Bandak is doing now."

Although both of them were exhausted, their inner uneasiness still prevented them from walking to the bed and lying down to rest. I could only sit at the tea table and wait for the news in silence.

Peake did not take the unconscious Bandak very far. After walking out of the sight of the onlookers, he returned to the residence he bought on the street.

He has not informed other members of the dark side of this operation. It was just because I was really angry with Gilbert's arrogant style that I couldn't help but take action against Bandak and his group.

After Kant and others entered the town, the orc responsible for contacting him introduced the background of this group of people to him. He also warned them to keep an eye on them: the 'Yinchi' insect was also planted on Bandak's body at that time.

Peake looked through the gap in the window toward the entrance of the union and saw the goblin army surveying the site. There were also Kant and Abel who came after hearing the news. The two stood in front of the guild door, talking about something with their heads lowered.

"Sipa. Go listen to what they are talking about." Peak stared at Kant's position and ordered softly.

A small transparent snake swam from the window sill on the second floor to the stone steps beside Kant, and the two of them did not notice its existence. The content of the conversation echoed in Pique's ears with great clarity.

"Ha." When Peake heard that Kant planned to declare war on the dark side forces, he sneered and said disdainfully: "It's just a small desert country. It really has no self-awareness."

"you"

While Peake was still monitoring Kant, Bandak, who was lying on the floor, woke up, but his consciousness was still in a trance. After seeing the unfamiliar back in front of him, he hesitantly called out. road.

Pique was so frightened by the sudden cry that he cut off his spiritual connection, and the little snake named "Sipa" also shrank into a hole.

This little snake with a transparent body is very afraid of sunlight. Without the blessing of magic, it can only stay in a place without sunlight.

"Sipa!" Pique couldn't help but said. After not seeing the little snake, he turned around bitterly and glared at Bandak. Said: "What the hell are you screaming about!"

"I remember." After regaining consciousness, Bandak stared at Peake and said, "You are that bastard animal trainer!"

"Well, what happens next?" Pique raised a wooden chair and threw it at Bandak, saying angrily: "It's all because of your ghostly scream just now, and now Patsy doesn't know where he is! You guys! These people are really bad guys!"

Chapter 818: Encountered accomplices on the street

Bandak caught the wooden chair flying in front of him, stood up and asked Peake: "I was knocked unconscious by the cheetah you raised just now when I was attacked from behind, right?"

"It seems that its slap wasn't hard enough." Pique looked out the window and said to Bandak behind him.

"Now that I've woken up, let's compete again." Bandak stretched out his hand to reach for his waist, but unexpectedly found that his weapon was not in the scabbard.

"Ha." Piqué leaned against the window, looked at Bandak and sneered: "I'm not in the mood to continue fighting with you. What's more, I don't think you are qualified to fight me now."

"Asshole! Don't underestimate me!" Bandak clenched his fists and shouted angrily. In his eyes, just fighting with these hands is enough to deal with the attack brought by Pique. However, he was only halfway through what he said when he felt a tearing pain in the knees of his legs. He instantly fell to the floor.

"I don't like fighting. I fought you for a few rounds just because I wanted Yinchi's child to grow up quickly in your body." There was a strange smile on the corner of Pique's mouth. He continued: "Now it seems that they are growing well."

"Damn it!" Bandak's lower limbs were completely paralyzed. At that time, the larvae were invading his bone marrow.

"Does it hurt now?" Peak squatted in front of Bandak and said innocently: "It doesn't matter, it won't hurt in a few days. Because they will invade your brain and occupy your nerves. Instead You, become 'you'."

"What is your purpose?" Bandak asked through gritted teeth.

"The purpose, there is a small purpose is to use you to exchange for the members of our organization." Peak met Bandak's eyes and said seriously: "It's just that I think you can return the goblin country if your consciousness is controlled. It's a good plan to have your Calradia disturb the peace, so it's a good plan. What do you think?"

"Bah, you can't succeed in any of these things." Bandak said angrily: "Even if I die, I won't let you use me to attack Calradia."

"Hmph." Pique snorted disdainfully: "Your life is in my hands, and I have the final say whether you live or die."

After saying this, Pique stood up and walked towards the door. What he was most concerned about now was Sipa's safety. After locking the door, he quickly walked to the lobby downstairs, hiding behind the door and observing the movements on the street.

Kant and Abel have left their place and don’t know where they went. After the goblin soldiers settled everything and left the scene, the onlookers gradually dispersed.

While looking at the pedestrians on the road, Pique carefully walked to the door of the guild and called in a low voice: "Sipa, Sipa, where are you?"

"Hiss--" A familiar cry came from the stairs leading to the guild door.

Pique immediately walked over, crawled on the ground, and looked for Sipa's figure. Finally, they stopped in front of a hidden cave entrance, where Sipa was hiding timidly.

"Sipa, I'm here to pick you up." Pique said happily: "Let's go back."

Piqué stretched out his hand to Sipa, and a stream of spiritual power flowed from his fingertips into Sipa's head. Sipa walked out of the cave naturally as if he had been healed, walked slowly to Peake's shoulder, and disappeared into the air.

Pique let out a relaxed breath, stood up straight, and dusted himself off.

"Fortunately, I didn't lose it this time." Pique muttered in a low voice.

"Pique!" At this time, a rough voice reached Pique's ears. His heart suddenly tightened.

"Mondy." With a stiff smile on his face, Pique raised his hand to greet the orcs coming towards him.

"What are you doing here?" Monty walked up to Peake, patted him on the shoulder and asked: "I was standing on the streets of West City just now, and I could feel the movements of those babies under your hands. Encountered Trouble?"

"Well," Pique curled his lips and said, "Yes, I met someone who had found trouble with me before, and I wanted to teach him a lesson. Unexpectedly, my actions were a bit too big."

"It's a trivial matter." After listening to Peake's explanation, Monty waved his hand easily and said with a smile: "I can only say that that person's luck is not that good. I'll explain it to the people at the supervision station. It will be settled for you.”

"Thank you very much." Pique nodded.

"No need." Just as Pique was about to say goodbye politely, Monty stopped him and asked: "By the way, how are the people I arranged for you to monitor before? How are they doing now?"

"How about it?" Pike frowned and thought for a while and said, "No, they seem to have given the investigation task to the king of the goblin country. Now they are wandering around all day."

"That's it," Monty stroked his hair and said, "That's really boring. Just observe it for a few more days. If they don't make any moves to investigate, the surveillance mission can be cancelled."

"But" Pique said hesitantly.

"Don't worry, Lord 'Kingdom' just asked us to be careful of outsiders in this archipelago." Mondi said: "They can't make any waves."

"Okay then." Pique agreed: "Then I will continue to observe."

"Okay," Monty nodded and said, "I just came to say hello to you. I have to go back to drink with my friends. Goodbye."

"Yeah." Pique bowed slightly.

After seeing Mundy turn his back and leave, Peake also walked back to his residence.

After walking up to the second floor, Pique stood quietly outside the door for a while. There was no movement in the room. This made him frown.

After gently unlocking the door, a strong impact knocked Pique seven or eight meters away. Fell down on the edge of the wall.

Pique held his dizzy head and looked forward. I saw Bandak dragging his legs and his name appeared.

"How did you rush out?" Pique asked strangely, staring at Bandak as if he was sizing up a monster.

"Hmph," Bandak raised his head and looked down at Piqué and said, "I said, even if I die, I will not let myself be controlled by a villain like you."

"Haha." Pique said with a smile: "Do you think that by sealing your own meridians, you can prevent the spread of insect eggs?"

"At least now it seems that the effect is pretty good." Bandak raised a smile on his lips and said confidently: "Although I don't know how much time this will delay, it should be enough to defeat you with this little gap."

Pique's eyes instantly became cold, he patted the dust on himself, stood up and said to Bandak: "Try it."

Chapter 819: The second round of battle

Nothing more was said. Bandak raised his fist and hit Pique in the face.

"Too slow." Pique dodged Bandak's attack and waved to Bandak.

Bandak could not keep up with Pique in time due to difficulty in moving his lower limbs. He could only use his body to resist Pique's punches and kicks, and find opportunities to counterattack.

After more than a dozen rounds, Bandak's face was already stained with color. It's just that facing Bandak's huge size, in the small space of the stairway, Peak's extreme dodge was not easy. Even though he always wanted to change the battlefield, Bandak still stood there, motionless. Even if Pique deliberately sold a flaw and was beaten to the ground by him, Bandak would not pursue the victory. Follow him to move positions.

Bandak's battle-hardened physique came into play at this time. The injuries he suffered did not become a burden. On the contrary, the fierce battle made him more excited. As time went by, Pique exposed more and more flaws in the battle.

Unconsciously, Bandak gradually gained the upper hand.

"You" Pique squatted in the corner panting and shouted, staring at Bandak.

At the beginning of the battle, he summoned the energy of the 'Predator' kept in his body and grafted it onto his own body, allowing him to successfully dodge Bandak's punches.

However, now that things have happened, Pique has very little spiritual power left and can no longer maintain his 'predatory form'.

"What's wrong?" Bandak dragged his legs, walked slowly to Piqué, and said to him with a mocking face: "Is this all you have? I haven't started to use my full strength yet."

"I admit defeat." Pique raised his hands in surrender. After seeing Bandak approaching, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he used the silver blade hidden in his sleeves.

"Don't play tricks on me." Bandak grabbed Pique's wrist and warned in a vicious voice.

"Let me go." Pique's whole face became distorted because of the pain in his wrist. cried out.

"Where's the antidote for this insect poison you gave me?" Bandak stared at Peake closely and asked.

"There is no antidote, please let me go!" Pique struggled.

"Hmph!" Bandak relaxed his grip, and Pique covered his right wrist, crawling on the ground and wailing. Glancing up, he saw Bandak taking out a knife and asked in horror: "What are you going to do?"

"Since you refuse to speak, I can only force you to speak." Bandak glanced at Pique, raised the knife and made a small cut on his upper leg.

When Pique saw this scene, his eyes widened and he said, "You madman, what are you going to do?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Bandak stared at his wound for a while, and after seeing a squirming larva, he quickly picked it out of his body with his fingertips.

The body of the 'Yinchi' larvae is milky white, and when it moves between Bandak's palms, it is still turning left and right and twisting.

Bandak looked at Peake, who was cowering in the corner, and asked coldly: "I ask you one last time, where is the antidote?"

"I, I, I will give you the antidote." Peak's pupils trembled violently, and after swallowing a sip of saliva, he confessed to Bandak.

"Now, give it to me." Bandak waved.

Pique staggered back to his room, rummaged through the cabinets and found a bottle of red liquid medicine. He handed it to Bandak tremblingly.

Bandak held the medicine bottle in his hand, looked at it repeatedly, raised his head and said to Pique: "You won't lie to me, will you?"

"No, no," Pique responded nervously.

Bandak thought for a while, opened the bottle cap, and poured the liquid in the bottle onto the larva in his hand.

After seeing the larvae's body vaporize, Bandak raised his eyebrows and drank the remaining liquid in one gulp.

After a while, the lower limbs of the body regained consciousness, and some thick secretions came out of the pores with a slight odor.

Bandak nodded with satisfaction and said to Pique: "You told me your real name, right?"

"Yes." Pique agreed.

"Okay." Bandak took out his handkerchief to stop the bleeding wound, nodded and said, "Then we'll see you next time."

"You?" Pique opened his eyes in surprise and asked Bandak, "Aren't you going to kill me?"

"No," Bandak shook his head and said: "This time I am attacking you and you underestimated the enemy, so I will defeat you. If I kill you at this time, I will not think highly of myself. .”

After hearing Bandak's words, Pique was so surprised that he was speechless for a moment.

However, Bandak did not expect his response. After taking a short rest, he lifted his legs and left the room.

The Snake Girl Guild downstairs hasn't opened yet, but the long queue has extinguished Bandak's hope of waiting in line.

"Your Majesty, where are they now?" Bandak tried to think back for a while, but could not come up with any results. He glanced at his ripped and torn clothes. Bandak reluctantly walked towards the hotel where he stayed last night.

As soon as he entered the lobby, the boss immediately came up to him and asked: "Lord Bandak, why are you back?"

"What's wrong?" Bandak sat down on a bench nearby and asked the boss: "Can you please help me get some ointment to treat wounds? I have bruises and bruises all over my body, which are always too conspicuous. some."

"Yes, yes, yes." The boss agreed quickly, and then called the waiter who was cleaning the table and asked him to bring the medicine box.

"I heard that you were targeted by an animal trainer who lives nearby and likes to find trouble. Did he inflict the injuries on your body?" the boss asked cautiously.

"Yes." Bandak responded with a frown. And I was slightly surprised to think: the news spread so quickly.

"Ah, the medicine is here." The innkeeper ordered the waiter to put down the medicine box, and said to Bandak thoughtfully: "Sir, I will recruit someone to give you the medicine."

"No need." Bandak waved his hand nonchalantly, picked up the medicine box on the table, and walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor. And said: "I can give myself medicine, just remember to send someone to pick up this box."

"Yes." The innkeeper agreed respectfully.

"Oh, that's right." With a glimmer of hope, Bandak turned back to the boss standing in the open space and asked: "Do you know where the two people who settled with me went?"

"You are talking about Mr. Kant and Mr. Abel." The hotel owner thought for a while and said: "The waiter who came back from the street said: They seem to have gone to the teleportation base on the main street, and they are probably going up the mountain."

"Going up the mountain?" Bandak's expression immediately became confused.

Chapter 820: The righteous man in financial distress

Bandak dragged his heavy steps back to the wing.

He just ran out of the hotel door on his own impulse. After discovering that he had no money on him, he returned dejectedly.

"Lord Bandak, what's wrong with you?" The boss who was clearing the bill at the counter looked at his appearance and asked curiously.

"Nothing." Bandak glanced at his boss, and his mood dropped even further.

At present, His Majesty Kant and Abel should have gone up the mountain to find the goblins and dwarfs for help. But they didn't know that they had escaped from Pique's hands.

The cost of riding the teleportation array was extremely high. Before Kande and Abel went down the mountain, he could only stay in this small town and do something for them.

"Boss, do you have a messenger going up the mountain?" Abel asked reluctantly.

"Yes, but the time when the recipient of the letter comes to the town is not fixed." The innkeeper thought for a while and responded: "Sir Bandak, do you need to send a letter to the mountain? If the messenger comes to the town, I will send someone to notify you. I’ll catch you.”

"Thank you." Bandak nodded and said, "Then, what is the cost of sending a letter up the mountain?"

When asking this question, Bandak lowered his head in shame. Once again, he made up his mind: From now on, he must keep part of the money in his own hands, and he can no longer leave all the money to Abel.

"I remember that the price of a letter seemed to be three silver coins. After all, the messenger also took the teleportation array up the mountain." The hotel owner said: "He comes and goes, and he doesn't make much money at all."

"Oh." Bandak touched the shriveled purse and nodded: "Thank you."

"No need." The boss smiled and shook his head. Then continue to immerse yourself in the ledger.

Bandak silently left the counter.

"This animal trainer is quite aggressive." Bandak endured the pain and applied medicine to himself while recalling Peake's figure running around on the stairs.

"Dong dong dong!" After applying the ointment all over in front of the mirror, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Bandak asked doubtfully. After putting on his coat, he immediately walked to the door and opened it.

"Hello, Mr. Bandak." A waiter carrying a dinner plate stammered a greeting after seeing Bandak open the door: "The store has prepared some light meals for you. Most of them are They are all helpful in promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, I hope you can accept them."

"Huh?" Bandak took a look at the dishes on the plate, swallowed, and asked, "Do these cost money?"

"Ah?" the waiter asked strangely: "No, no, no, you don't need to pay. These are all given to you by our store."

"Oh, that's good. Bring it in." Bandak calmed down and called to the waiter.

Now he had to economize on sending letters to His Majesty Kant, as he couldn't afford any food to recuperate his body.

"Then I'll take my leave first. You can use it at your leisure." After the waiter put the exquisite dishes on the table, he retreated to the door and excused himself to Bandak.

"Well, thank you." Bandak nodded and replied.

The waiter gently closed the door and walked down the stairs. On the way back to the kitchen, I met the owner of the hotel.

"Hello, boss." The waiter said respectfully.

"How's it going? Has Mr. Bandak accepted the food you sent?" the innkeeper asked nervously.

"Accepted." The waiter responded.

"That's good." The boss nodded happily and said, "Mr. Bandak got rid of this big villain, Peak, for us. For this reason alone, we have to take good care of him."

"Boss, you are right." The waiter agreed.

Bandak sat down at the dining table and began to eat his first meal of the day.

Now the sun is shining brightly in the sky outside the window, and the streets are full of homeless people looking for a place to eat. Unknowingly, the hour hand has pointed to meal time.

After a hearty meal, Bandak couldn't help but look melancholy as he leaned against the window and watched the people coming and going.

"It seems I'm still not suitable for being on my own," Bandak said softly.

I don’t know if Kant and Bandak have reached the top of the mountain and have seen the leader of the dwarf tribe or the king of the goblin country.

If only I could follow the mountain to find them.

In the palace of the Goblin Kingdom, Kant and Abel sat in their guest rooms for a long time.

When the two were drowsy, a goblin waiter brought dinner from the dining car and said to them: "Two guests, His Highness Gilbert encountered a heavy rain on the way back. It is estimated that it will have to wait until noon tomorrow. Go back to the country. You don’t have to sit here and wait. Let’s have some dinner first.”

"Did you encounter a heavy rain?" Kant took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, we will have dinner."

"Okay." The goblin waiter glanced at Bandak, who had always been silent, bowed slightly, and then exited the room.

Abel walked to the dining car and silently placed the dishes on the table one after another. Then he sat down next to Kant and said, "Your Majesty, let's have something to eat first."

Kant held his forehead and glanced at the dinner on the table. He sighed and said, "Well, let's eat."

The room was so quiet that only the sound of silver knives and forks colliding with dishes was heard.

The meal didn't take much time, after all, neither of them had much appetite. The waiter who came to clear away the dishes saw most of the dishes left on the plate. Without disturbing the two's quiet time, they silently pushed up the dining cart and walked out.

"Gilbert won't be able to arrive tonight." Kant said.

"Bandakta" Abel said worriedly.

"It's okay, I believe Bandak." Kant shook his head and said.

The air in the room became quiet again, and the rain spread from the horizon to the bottom of the mountain. The top of the mountain is still in the sweltering environment before the heavy rain.

Kant and Bandak's inner uneasiness became restless again.

Abel stood up and opened the window, letting the strong wind rush in.

"It's too boring to stay indoors. Let's go for a walk." Kant suggested.

"Yeah." Abel agreed. Then the two opened the door and walked out of their room. Wandering among the spacious palaces.

Raindrops were already falling from the sky, pattering on the colored glass bed.

Abel watched the rain become heavier and heavier, covering Kant's return from the open space to the eaves. And asked with concern: "Your Highness, are you okay?"

"It's okay, thanks to you." Kant shook his head easily and said, "I didn't even get caught in the rain."

"That's good." Abel exhaled and said.
