Chapter 753. The discovery of thermal pools
"Hot springs?" Cremont replied, slightly surprised.
"Yes. Jeb and his party found it while they were packing. The soldier looked pleased.
"Take us there." Devit commanded.
As he walked along the road, CrΓ©mont thought of something and said, "It's already close to the volcano, and it's not surprising that there are hot springs." β
"Hmm." Devid nodded, and from a distance, he could already see the soldiers gathered together.
"Captain DeWitt, Captain Cremont! You're coming. Austinger, who accidentally caught a glimpse of DeWitt's group, exclaimed happily.
Now they are all gathered around the hot spring pool, and while worrying about the effectiveness of this hot spring, they want to try it out.
Now seeing DeWitt and others rushing over, his mood naturally became excited.
DeWitt and Cremont both nodded to the soldiers who greeted them, and made their way through the crowd to the edge of the hot pool.
Looking at the misty water, he asked the soldiers on the side, "Are the soldiers of the elven clan here too?" β
"Someone has already gone looking for them, they should be there in a while." The soldier replied.
"Well," Devi nodded, "let Bikren come over first and see if this hot spring can let people in." β
Bicran, a medic standing in the back row, was instantly swept to the front by the soldiers. Stopped in front of De Witt.
Bichron had to take out a tube of potion from his package, along with an absorbent sponge. He explained to De Witt: "As long as this potion does not change color after adding hot spring water. This hot spring is safe for us. β
Before DeWitt could say anything, the soldiers behind him let out a burst of cheers.
Cremont looked behind him amusedly, and as a result, the soldiers fell silent in an instant.
"There you go." DeWitt said to Bikren.
Bichron nodded, and cautiously walked to the low depression where the distance between the bluestone slab and the pool surface was minimal. Squat down to collect hot spring water.
After injecting the water from the sponge into the syringe, staring nervously at its subsequent reaction.
"The hot springs are safe." Bikron gestured to the soldiers standing by the pool, 'yes'.
When all the soldiers heard the news, they were delighted.
It's just that he still didn't make any moves, just stared at DeWitt and Cremont, waiting for the two to give instructions.
"Don't go in too many people at once, and make a big disturbance and get in trouble. In order: The first squad can now go. I want to change positions with the people at the back of the queue. Cremont said.
"Yes." The soldiers were very happy to hear the news.
Even the soldiers at the back of the line happily went back to put their luggage.
Tonight, both the Calradian soldiers and the elven soldiers will be confined to portable tents. And everyone can't make a fire to cook, they can only gnaw on the dry food in their luggage bags.
The appearance of hot springs really comforted a large number of people's hearts.
When DeWitt and Cremont saw the soldiers return to their posts, they waited for Able and his elven soldiers to arrive.
"I heard you discovered the hot springs." DeWitt looked up and saw Able walking towards him with a smile on his face. With a group of elven soldiers behind him.
Tonight, the elven soldiers' quarters are separate from those of the Calradian soldiers. So Abel got here with his men and it took some time.
"Well, I stumbled upon it." DeWitt replied.
"How? Are there any questions? Able asked, approaching the edge of the pool, looking at the steaming heat below.
"Our men checked and didn't find anything wrong." Clemmont replied, "I just want the elven mage to see if this will have any effect on the elven soldiers." β
Able nodded, raised his right hand, and a small stream of hot spring water swam from the pool to his palm.
Able stared at the small water vortex in his hand for a long time, and said reassuringly, "No problem. β
"Our luck is really good, we stopped in the territory of the dragon clan, and we were able to meet the hot spring pool." Cremont sighed.
"I don't think it's an accident, after all, Gilbert has been bringing us here." Abel responded: "He really did his best to work out the best line for the whole team. β
"Gilbert thinks the best route is to bypass the territory and take the road west of the mountain." DeWitt said.
Able and Cremont nodded, but said nothing.
At dinner time, the soldiers in the back kitchen couldn't bear to watch everyone gnaw on wheat bread too hard. Take out the eggs and milk from the stockpile, and heat them continuously with the hot water of the hot spring. It was distributed to the people.
Austinger took a dinner for two and looked around the camp for Gilbert.
He was eventually found inside the tent that the other soldiers had set up for Gilbert.
"Gilbert, why are you here?"
The space in the tent was not spacious, and the tent was made for Gilbert, which was still a bit reluctant for Austinger's relatively tall stature.
"The shoes are broken." Gilbert sat on the edge of the bed and kicked the broken cloth shoes at his feet.
The shoes were given to him by Austinger from his duffel bag, and they weren't the right size. And I've been walking on mountain trails for the last few days, so it's normal for my shoes to break.
"Broken?" Austinger crouched down, took the broken shoe in his hand, looked at it carefully, and decided in his heart that it could not be repaired. Then he looked up and said to Gilbert, "I'll go find you another pair." β
As he spoke, he handed over the dinner in his hand, and then said, "You eat first." β
Gilbert took the food from Austinger's hand and said, "Then you should come back quickly." β
"Hmm." Austinger nodded. Then he bent over and walked out of the tent.
Gilbert bites on the egg and stares at the rotten shoe that has been set aside: since the army has settled here, he has run out of the barracks: he climbs up the hill and observes the situation near the barracks. As a result, he didn't even notice a wurm.
"What's going on?" Gilbert said silently in his mind.
Obviously, this season is the time when wurm is active in the dragon territory...
"I'm back." While Gilbert was deep in thought, Austinger walked in with a pair of new fluffy cotton shoes.
"Hmm." Gilbert looked at Austinger and replied.
"How?" Austinger asked, crouching down, holding the cotton shoes in front of Gilbert.
"It looks warm." Gilbert took the last bite of the egg and commented.
"Put it on and take a look." Austinger put cotton shoes on Gilbert's frozen purple feet.
