Chapters 825-829
Chapter 825: The three people who came to say goodbye
"Not really." Bandak thought back for a moment, shook his head, and responded, "But judging from what he said, it seems that he is in league with the snake girl named Cara. β
"He didn't tell you who was responsible for contacting him?" Abel asked anxiously.
"That's what you're asking, and he hasn't mentioned it to me." Bandak held his head and replied, "However, he tied me to his residence in the city. However, due to a little accident on the way, he went downstairs on the way, and I was trying to find a way to stop the spread of worms on my body. I could only hide behind the window on the second floor, paying attention to his movements. It turned out that he had met with a half-orc, but I didn't know exactly what that person was looking for. β
"Hmm." Kant nodded, "This can also be counted as a clue to continue the investigation." β
"Now that the matter of Bandak has been settled, let's hurry down the mountain and start investigating." Able opened his mouth to suggest.
Kant glanced at Bandak with an inquiring look, after seeing him nod. So he decided: "Let's go and say hello to Gilbert first, after all, they have helped us a lot." Walking away quietly like this is not in line with etiquette. β
"Yes." Bandak and Abel agreed.
On the way to the palace, the three of them were quite quiet. However, after seeing the door of the council hall, Abel suddenly remembered something, and said to Kant: "Your Majesty, I haven't talked to Gilbert about the matter we discussed before. β
"What's the matter?" Bandak wondered.
"Nothing." Kant waved his hand at Bandak and said, "Let's put that matter aside for the time being, I thought about it last night, and Gilbert's investigation was hidden from us, perhaps out of his own considerations." Let's not embarrass him. β
"Okay then." Able pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Bandak listened in a daze, and with a puzzled expression, he and the two around him stepped into Gilbert's ruling palace.
Before they arrived, Gilbert was reported by soldiers that Bandak had arrived at the palace.
So Gilbert was not very surprised by the resignation of several people.
"His Highness Gilbert." In addition to Kant, Abel and Bandak both knelt down on one knee and faced the luggage of Gilbert, who was sitting on the throne.
"Please get up." Gilbert smiled and nodded, "I knew that after Bandak returned to the city, you would be in a hurry to say goodbye to me and prepare to leave." What do you think? What's next? β
"Let's go back to town first." Kant responded: "This matter is not over yet, we will continue to investigate." β
"You don't have any foundation on this small island, so it's better to do what you can." Gilbert exhaled, looked at Kant and said, "But don't worry too much, the goblin wanderers will take care of you in secret. His Royal Highness Kant has anything inconvenient, although ask them for help. β
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness Gilbert." Kant saluted: "Then we will take our leave, thank you for your hospitality in the past few days." β
"Hmm." Gilbert's gaze finally came to Bandak's body and said to him, "However, how is the body of the Bandak Commander recovering?" I heard that you had a fierce battle with the members of the Dark Side Forces at the foot of the mountain. β
"Fortunately, the bruises on my body are basically healed. Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. Bandak said with his fists clenched.
"It's good to be healed." Gilbert nodded reassuringly, "Since you are in a hurry, then I will not delay you any longer." There is a horse-drawn carriage at the entrance of the palace for you to ride. β
"Well, Your Highness Gilbert, we'll see you at a later date." After leaving this sentence, Kant quietly turned away. After bowing shallowly to Gilbert, Bandak and Able followed Kant and walked out of the palace.
Kant and Able had to go back to their room to pack their belongings, and Bandak walked alone to the palace gate, and after meeting the groom who was waiting for them, he chatted with him while waiting for the other two to arrive.
It wasn't long before Kant and Able simply packed their belongings and found Bhandak, and the three of them boarded the Gilbert carriage and headed for the teleportation point halfway up the mountain.
"Where is this carriage going to get us?" Bandak's physical strength gradually became exhausted, and he asked with a pale face as he endured the bumps of the carriage walking through the mountain roads.
"The stronghold of the teleportation array." Able opened his eyes in a daze, and said that the carriage had been running for nearly an hour, and as they passed the city gates, both Able and Kant could not help but be sleepy and fell asleep in the carriage.
Although the light in the carriage was dim at this time, Able noticed at a glance that Bandak was unusual. Immediately put his hand on the other person's forehead and asked, "Bendak, how are you feeling?" β
"I'm a little dizzy, and I want to throw up." After taking a few deep breaths, Bandak continued, "It's okay, I think I'm just a little bit motion sick. β
"When are you going to get motion sickness?" Able frowned and said, "How have you been taking care of yourself lately?" How could the body be weakened like this. β
"It's fine." Bandak shook his head and said.
Seeing that he didn't want to explain, Abel could only stop delving into the problem for the time being, and moved his position in the shaking carriage, sat down next to Bandak, and put his hand on Bandak's clenched fist.
As Able approached, Bandak felt his restless emotions gradually calm down. The suffocating sensation hovering over his chest has also been reduced a lot.
"Are you feeling better?" Able asked.
"Much better, thank you." Bandak smiled and said, "Abel, when you are discharged from the army, you can go and start a clinic." There will definitely be a lot of customers who will come to visit. β
"Lend you good words." Able laughed, glanced at Bandak and said, "I guess it will take half an hour to arrive, so you can rest for a while." I'll wake you up later. β
"Okay." As soon as Bandak's uncomfortable symptoms subsided, fatigue swept through his body. He soon fell asleep leaning on Abel's shoulder.
By the time the carriage stopped at the gate of the teleportation array, the three of them had already recuperated and stepped out of the carriage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I've already spoken to the mage in charge of running the teleportation array. Now that you're inside, you can take the last trip of the day to the bottom of the mountain. The groom walked up to the three of them, and after saluting, said respectfully.
Chapter 826: Conditions for Becoming a Mage
"Thank you, it's getting late. Please hurry back to the city. Kant said politely to the coachman.
The goblin coachman replied with a smile, "Your Excellency is gracious. Then I'll take my leave, and I wish you all the best of luck. β
"Hmm. Be careful on the road. Bandak admonished.
The three of them watched the groom drive away in the carriage, and only after seeing him disappear around the corner of the mountain road did they come to their senses and turn around and walk into the stronghold of the teleportation array.
According to common sense, at this time, the teleportation array stronghold should have been closed a long time ago. It's just that Gilbert specially sent someone to inform the operators of the teleportation array before, asking them to delay the closing time today, in order to send Bandak and his party down the mountain.
After stepping out of the teleportation array in the stronghold of the town below the mountain, Bandak glanced behind him with a wistful look.
"What are you looking at?" Abel asked curiously, staring at him.
"The mage is amazing." Bandak sighed, "If only I could be a mage in my next life." β
Able laughed softly and said, "Hehe, cultivating spells is much more difficult than forging the body. Some people can't break through the first realm in their lifetime. The mage who can preside over the entire circle should be a high-level mage. β
"Is it time-consuming to practice spells?" Bandak asked in amazement, "I thought you would use spells from the time you were born." β
"How so?" Bandak shook his head and said, "Although most elves are born with mana. But that's not the same as the spell you cast. You're talking about the qualifications for cultivating spells. β
"I see." Bandak thought for a moment and agreed.
"There are many types of spells," Abel continued, explaining, "If you want to be a mage who operates a teleportation array, then you have to devote yourself to the spells of spatial displacement. β
"Is the space displacement spell troublesome?" Bandak asked, with a glimmer of hope in his arms.
"It's very troublesome, this kind of spell needs to be studied by yourself, and more important than the particularity of the physique is this." Able pointed to his head and said.
Bandak's eyes widened and he said, "Do you have to do your own research?" That's just too hard for me. β
"What are you talking about?" Kant interjected and said.
"Bandak Commander says he wants to be a mage." With a hint of a smile, Able said, "I'm talking to him about spells. β
"Mage?" Kant shifted his gaze to Bandak and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of this?" β
Looking at Bandak's embarrassed and embarrassed appearance. Able opened his mouth to explain for him, "I think Bandak must have liked the teleportation array we sat in before. β
"I see." Kant nodded and said, "Bandak, if you are really curious, you can ask Able to teach you a few spells." Now that you've thought of it, let's try it out for yourself. β
"Is that okay?" Bandak asked in surprise.
Able was also very surprised by Kant's instructions, and when he came to the subject, he thought that Kant would pass it off as a joke. I didn't expect His Highness to be serious.
"Is it okay for Able?" Kant asked Abel for Bandak.
β... OK. It's just that I'm a water elf, and I can only use water spells. Abel hesitated, "However, the attributes of the soldiers under my command vary, and among them, there are always those who have learned spells that are suitable for Bandak's physique. β
"Hmm." Kant nodded and said to Bandak, "Bandak, have you done a preliminary physique test?" β
"Beginner... What the? Bandak asked, confused.
"A test to test the properties of the mana element in the body." Able was slightly surprised, "How did His Highness Kant know this?" β
"As the lord of the elven realm, it's not surprising that I know this." Kant shrugged his shoulders and smiled lightly.
"That's rightβ" Abel thought for a moment and nodded.
"If you really want to learn spells, it's better to do a test." Kant advised Bandak: "If someone teaches you a spell that is in opposition to your physical attributes, it will be harmful to the body. β
"Hmm..."Bandak frowned and thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Actually, I also mentioned casually, spells are still too burdensome for me. And it sounds like it's quite troublesome to detect something or something. β
"Whatever you want." Kant replied unconcernedly: "However, it is indeed good to learn more things for yourself." β
"Yes." Bandak nodded.
The dark clouds that were still hovering over the town yesterday have all cleared. Even though it was night, there were still a lot of homeless people wandering out of the streets. The clear evening breeze blew through the ears of Kant and others. Kant took a deep breath and said, "Let's go find an inn to settle in, now that dinner has passed, after dropping off our luggage at the inn." Let's go to the street where we used to live and make up for dinner. β
"Yes." Abel and Bandak agreed. The two walked ahead of Kant, looking for suitable inns on both sides of the street. Finally, I stopped in front of an inn called 'Chunxi Pavilion'.
"The inn looks pretty clean." Bandak said as he walked into the store, looking around.
"The name also makes a lot of sense." Abel conforms to the Tao.
"It's the beginning of March, and it's almost flowering season. It's a good time to live here. Able nodded.
They were greeted by an orc bookkeeper, who explained to them that there was a fireworks display tonight, that the innkeeper had given his staff a day off, and that the guests had gone out into the street after dinner. So the store is a little deserted, please don't be surprised.
"It turns out that there are so many people on the street because there is activity on the street." Abel suddenly realized.
"Every year at the beginning of spring, the town's merchants organize a fireworks display. Our boss will also attend. The fireworks are quite beautiful, and if you want to, you can also go out into the street to see it. The bookkeeper suggested to them with a smile on his face when he settled the settlement.
"Thank you." Kant nodded and said, "If we have time, we will definitely go and see it." β
"Well, your room is on the second floor, next to the corner of the stairs. The key is marked with the door number, and I won't send you upstairs. The bookkeeper smiled slightly.
"Hmm." Bandak glanced at the bookkeeper's bandaged right leg and asked, "You seem to be seriously injured on this foot?" β
"It's okay, it's just that I had an accident and accidentally fell." The bookkeeper said.
Chapter 827: The Orc Clan's Inn
Kant originally wanted to stop talking, but when he saw that the bookkeeper immediately hid his right leg behind the counter, his eyes couldn't help but become puzzled, and he asked, "Did you fall?" β
"Yes." The bookkeeper nodded, "The stairs were empty, and I fell downstairs." β
"Be careful." Kant replied with a little meaning: "Let's go upstairs first." We will bring our own luggage, so we don't have to bother the waiter. β
"Well, I hope you enjoy it." The bookkeeper smiled and nodded.
Conder walked upstairs, the key handed by the bookkeeper in his hand.
"Number 102...", carefully examining the signs on each door, Kant finally stood in front of the door of the room he had booked. Unlocked the door and walked in.
The hotel is street-front, and the floor on which they live is not high. From time to time, the conversation of passers-by can be heard.
As soon as Bandak walked into the room, he pulled back the curtains, letting in the light of the sunset. He looked downstairs and said, "There are more and more people on the street, and it seems that the fireworks display is about to start." β
"Let's drop our bags and go." Kant commanded, "First of all, you need to turn back to the street where the Serpent Women's Guild is located. β
"Yes." Able wiped his face with a towel in the bathroom and replied.
By the time the three of them came to the lobby again, the orc ledger had disappeared.
"There's no one in the lobby of this hotel, so it's too dangerous." Bandak said: "Won't you worry about thieves sneaking in? β
"That's not what you say," Abel said, shaking his head, "The law and order in this town has always been well maintained, not to mention that most of the homeless people who can come here are big families with power and wealth, so how can they have the heart to do such an embarrassing thing." β
"It's not certain, after all, the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds." Bandak shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Alright, don't argue about that. We walked on this small island without any valuables. Worried about this, what's going on. Kant, on the contrary, did not seem to be too worried, and persuaded the two of them.
Bandak and Abel immediately shut their mouths after hearing Kant's words. Quietly followed Kant to the street.
Since Bandak had lived in the tavern much longer than the other two, he was probably leading the way. The place where the three of them set off was still relatively far away from the original hotel. The three of them walked for about half an hour, but did not reach their destination.
Seeing that there were more and more pedestrians on the street, Able opened his mouth to Bandak and asked, "Bandak, how far is it from the Serpent Women's Guild?" β
"It's almost there." Bandak turned and responded, "It's just that there are more and more pedestrians on this street." I don't know where to go. β
"Huh?" Able was surprised: "You can't do this, His Highness Kant and I are relying on you to lead the way." β
"Don't worry, walk to the intersection in front of me and look at the signs, I know where we are now." Bandak waved his hand and said to the two. Motioned for them to relax.
Able and Kant looked at each other, but swallowed the words that came to their lips.
Bandak, probably because his mood had become impatient, and his speed in the crowd gradually increased. Sometimes I hit a pedestrian on the road without realizing it.
Able and Kant followed him closely behind, watching in horror. Just as they were about to call out to stop Bandak, they found that a man about ten meters away from them grabbed Bandak's shirt and said viciously: "You kid is blind? Did you hit me and didn't see it? β
Bandak frowned tightly and said in a flat tone, "I'm sorry, I apologize to you if I bumped into you." It's just that you can let go of your hand first. I have urgent things to do. β
"What's your attitude?" The man's expression became more and more ugly.
Able finally couldn't help but walk out of the crowd of onlookers and said, "I'm sorry, this brother. My friend is a little anxious, and he accidentally bumped into you, and it was his fault. You dissipate your anger. β
"I'm also quite anxious. There's no one like him who runs rampant through the crowded streets. The man still didn't give up.
"You're not done!" Bandak raised his head and yelled at the man.
Able was taken aback by this remark, looked back at Bandak in disbelief, and said, "Bandak, what's wrong with you?" β
Kant, who was standing quietly on the sidelines, also frowned strangely after seeing Bandak's emotional outburst. Walking up to Bandak, Zhengse called: "Bandak, you did something wrong in this matter. Don't you admit your mistake? β
After Bandak's eyes met Kant's, the anger in his chest slowly subsided. Then he bowed his head gloomily and said nothing.
Abel's expression also became strange, and he muttered in his heart: What is wrong with this person.
"Yo!" The man was also stunned by Bandak's sudden outburst of screams, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately pointed at Bandak and said, "I remember you kid, don't let me catch you when you go out of the city." β
The man left the scene with a curse.
The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, and Abel hurriedly walked up to Bandak's side and asked suspiciously, "Bandak, what happened to you just now?" Do you know that person? β
"I don't know." Bandak was silent for a few moments, then spoke quietly.
"Then you're still yelling at people? Picking quarrels and provoking trouble in this town is to be caught and imprisoned. Able grabbed Bandak's shoulders and tried to say comfort, but found that the clothes on Bandak's back were soaked with sweat. With a flash of surprise in his eyes, Able turned his gaze to Kant.
Kant pursed his lips all the time and did not say anything. After seeing Bandak relieved, he stretched out his hand and said to him, "Let's go, let's go to dinner first." β
β... Be. Bandak took the hand that Kant handed him and supported himself to his feet.
The three of them walked silently into a restaurant on the side of the road, but it seemed out of place with the lively atmosphere in the restaurant.
A waiter at the door hesitated and stepped forward to greet him, "Are you dining yet?" β
"Yes." Able responded.
"If you're dining with three people, there's still room in our restaurant upstairs. It is available for everyone to watch the fireworks. The waiter introduced as he led the way.
"Is the fireworks show about to start?" Able spoke.
"Yes, the fireworks display starts at eight o'clock. It's less than a quarter of an hour away. The waiter glanced at the pocket watch in his hand and explained with a smile.
Chapter 828: Another Self in the Body
"Then let's go up to the second floor and have a look." Kant agreed.
"Three, please come with me." The waiter beckoned to the three of them and led them up the stairs in the corner of the lobby to the restaurant on the second floor.
There were also a lot of guests on the second floor, and the waiter said before bringing the three of them to the vacant seats, "Three of you, please wait." Soon, a special waiter will come to entertain you. β
"Okay." Kant nodded, and then took a seat by the window.
"I'm sorry for you." Able said to the waiter. Take a seat in a chair next to Bandak.
The waiter smiled implicitly and bowed away.
Although Kant and his entourage sat by the window, they sat relatively far forward, almost reaching the corner.
After a while, two strange waiters served tea and handed over the menu. Standing on either side of the seats, he said, "Welcome to our store." After the order is placed, we will deliver the delicious meal as soon as possible. β
"Hmm." Able took the menu and looked at it page by page. Halfway through, Abel glanced at Bandak, who was looking out the window distractedly. He asked, "Bandak, do you have anything on your mind?" β
"Ah," Bandak said, coming back to his senses, "no... No. β
Able nodded slowly, and began to report his favorite dishes to the waiters standing beside him.
At this time, Kant had already ordered his own dinner, sat quietly on the sidelines, and drank tea.
"That's it." Able said politely, "Please report it to the back kitchen." β
"Okay. Ladies and gentlemen, please wait a moment. The two waiters respectfully withdrew the menu and said. Then he disappeared from the sight of the three.
"I ordered you a set meal that is recommended here, with steak and so on." Abel introduced Bandak.
"Oh, good." Bandak nodded stunned and said, "Thank you." β
"Tell me what you think." Kant put down his teacup and stared straight at Bandak as he spoke.
Bandak pursed his lips nervously and said, "What happened just now?" β
"Well, if you have anything else to refer to, you can say them all." Kant nodded.
"I feel like I'm a little weird about myself." Bandak glanced at Kant and Abel and said hesitantly, "I feel like the people living in my body have been replaced." β
"Hmm." Kant exhaled a long breath and said, "When did you start feeling this way?" β
"When I'm alone in the hotel after you go up the mountain." "At first, I thought it was because I hadn't been alone for too long, which made me think cranky when I was around," Bandak said. But after meeting with you, I realized that this judgment was wrong. β
"What do you mean?" Able worried, "What did you find?" β
"The feeling continues." Bhandak cupped his forehead and said, "Lately, there have been a lot of thoughts in my head that wouldn't have come to mind. And most of those ideas are dangerous. I can't control them. β
"Have those thoughts influenced your behavior?" Kant asked.
"No, it's just that this strange feeling gives me a lot of headaches." Bandak closed his eyes in pain and explained, "So I couldn't help but shout in the street just now. Because the thoughts that pop into my head are always urging me to kill the wanderer. β
"So the sentence you shouted was said to yourself in your body?" Able was surprised.
He had never heard of such a case before.
"Yes." Bandak's eyes glanced out the window and whispered, "I'm scared, if I continue like this, my behavior will be uncontrollable." β
"As long as the cause of the incident is found, there will be a way to solve this problem." Kant thought for a moment and said, "I remember you said that the animal tamer had put some kind of worm on you, right? β
"Yes." Bandak nodded, "It's just that I've already drunk the antidote given to me by the animal trainer, and all the stiffness symptoms in my body have disappeared after taking the medicine." β
"I think what happened to you lately is still down to that beast trainer." Kant judged.
"But the trainer has left the town." Bandak sighed and said, "I have asked many people, but they have not heard of him. β
"After dinner, we immediately headed to the site where the Snake Women's Guild was located. Look for clues in the places where you were attacked. Kant thought for a moment and spoke.
"Yes." Bandak and Abel agreed.
At the end of the conversation between the three of them, the dishes were pushed to the table by the dining cart.
"Please slow down." After the waiter served the food, he turned and left.
At this time, some guests on the first floor walked to the window on the second floor and said that they wanted to occupy a better position to watch the fireworks.
Kant looked indifferent at the situation. Able also felt that the people around the table had been surrounded, and his face showed discomfort, and he stood up and said to the homeless people beside him, "Don't you see anyone eating, what are you all doing here?" β
"yes, a good dinner was ruined by your bunch of people." Immediately after Abel spoke, someone in the restaurant echoed.
The two sides argued word by word, and looked at the situation in front of them, which already had a tendency to move.
Bandak walked into the crowd and fished out Abel who was talking, and tried to take him away.
"Don't leave if you have the ability." In the opposing camp, a sharp-eyed homeless noticed Bandak's movements, and immediately walked over, grabbed Bandak's arm, and stopped.
Bandak glanced at the other party and said impatiently, "Get out of the way." β
"Who are you, so horizontal." The nomad was also anxious, beckoning several nomads behind him to block in front of Bandak.
"Let's do it with them, this time it's mine." Able stood behind Bandak and said hatefully.
Bandak turned around and looked at him helplessly, then at the emaciated vagrants in front of him, and said, "I advise you one more time, don't get in the way." β
"What? Want to get your hands dirty? The homeless man at the head stepped forward and said with a fierce face.
Bandak stepped forward and punched his opponent in the chest.
The soldier who didn't hear the applause of the audience, and the soldier who received a punch from Bandak with his chest did not move. His face turned from horror to strangeness. He really didn't expect the other party to really do it, after all, although the tavern is indoors, it is unbearable to be caught by the patrolling soldiers.
However, when Bandak, who was several times taller than him, punched him in the chest. The homeless man was surprised in his heart: Why is this fist so light?
Chapter 829: Losing the Commander of the Force
"Are you kidding me?" The nomad who was punched threw away the toothpick in his mouth and said, "With this little strength, you dare to pretend here?" β
While Bandak was still in shock, the wanderer threw a powerful punch into Bandak's right cheek.
Feeling the sweet taste in his mouth, Bandak was even more stunned.
Seeing that the situation had changed dramatically, Abel pointed at the homeless man who threw the punch and shouted, "You dare to hit someone? Everybody! Come on! β
"Up!" The nomadic guests on Abel's side rushed forward, and Abel rushed halfway to Bandak's side, dragging him out of the crowd.
However, Kant was not seen. He asked the waiter who was going down the stairs in a panic to report the news, "Hey, did you see the guest who was with us?" β
"I saw it, and the adult walked downstairs early in the morning, saying that he was waiting for the two of them at the door of the lobby." The waiter was suddenly stopped by someone, startled, and after seeing the faces of the two men clearly, he opened his mouth to reply.
"Well, good. Thank you. Able nodded and said.
The waiter departed as soon as Abel had opened his hand.
On his way down the stairs, Able was confronted by the tavern owner, who was hurrying up the stairs to check on the situation.
"Two guests, are you alright?" The boss asked anxiously.
"It's fine." Able saw the tavernkeeper looking Bandak up and down, and explained, "It's just that he seems to be frightened by the crowd, don't be surprised." β
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The boss hurriedly apologized: "That group of guests disturbed a few people to eat." Everyone's meals are free tonight, so I just hope that adults will please don't spread the word about it. β
"Good, good." I didn't expect to be able to pick up such a bargain, Abel pursed his lips and nodded in agreement.
"Two adults walk slowly." The tavern owner was in a hurry to go upstairs to take care of the situation, and did not have the heart to leave the two of them to talk for a while. After apologizing, he left immediately.
"Let's go, His Highness Kant is still waiting for us." Abel said to Bandak.
After stepping down the stairs, Bandak immediately saw Kant's figure, waved his hand and greeted him, "His Highness Kant." β
"Well, how are you doing?" When Able was the first to speak and quarrel with the guests who had crowded upstairs, Kant left his seat and walked downstairs to the lobby to get some air.
At this time, he saw the swollen right side of Bandak's face, and asked, "Bandak, what's the matter with you?" β
"I asked him to help clear the way for me, but a punch hit the chest of the homeless person who was blocking the way, but the other party didn't react at all." Able glanced at Bandak and explained, "I was beaten up. β
"How so?" Kant wondered: "With your skills, the customers in this store should not be your opponents." β
"I think it's weird, too." Able said with a flick of his chin.
"It's completely over." Bandak, who had been silent, hid his face and said, "Not only is my consciousness not my own now, but my body has also become strange. β
"You're just too tired." Kant said worriedly.
He was more worried about the sluggish state of Bandak at this time than Kant's skill.
"No, absolutely not." Bandak stood up and stated, "When I made my move, I had already decided to use a few percent of my strength to repel this group, but when my fist was touched, I didn't feel a trace of strength in my body. β
"Let's go to the scene where you fought Pique." Able sighed and suggested, "Every minute counts now in the state of Bandak. β
"Hmm." Kant nodded in agreement with Abel's statement, and at this time, Bandak's body was changing all the time. It's horrible. Maybe a few days have passed, and the Bandak in front of him will unconsciously transform into a complete stranger, and even his consciousness will be swallowed up.
"I'm glad I have you by my side at the moment." Bandak said softly.
If he were the only one, he would probably be calm and unwavering to the world until his consciousness disappeared.
The three of them quickened their pace and walked towards the Snake Women's Union.
"Bang bang bang!"
As the trio marched forward, fireworks lit up in the sky. Many of the homeless people walking in the streets stopped and stood still to watch the fireworks. After the first round of fireworks was over, everyone rushed to the place where the fireworks were launched.
"This year's fireworks are so beautiful."
Able heard the passers-by discuss.
It's just that he doesn't have any intention to enjoy the scenery shining in the sky now. Will only single-mindedly and intently look at the ground.
As the crowd began to flow, the trio's journey became difficult. I can only hold hands and move sideways.
Fortunately, after the intersection at the end of the street was separated from the crowds, the congestion was finally eased slightly.
"It's the Snake Maiden's Guild ahead." Able looked at the towering sign on the roof of the guild building and spoke happily.
"Hmm." Kant raised his head, glanced in that direction, and said, "It's coming soon." β
When the three of them got closer, they found that the sign in front of the guild had been replaced. It reads: Because of the pre-festival preparations for the fireworks display, the guild is closed today.
"It's really willful." Able said softly. I began to wonder who the operator of this guild was.
"The damage caused by the battle that day has been completely repaired, and there is no trace of it." Kant looked around and said disappointedly.
The collapsed brick walls have been stacked as new as new. Even the potholes on the road were filled.
"The restoration of the goblin soldiers is indeed well done." Able nodded.
"I remembered a place, you come with me." Despite his vague consciousness, Bandak was able to remember exactly the way to Pique's residence.
The other two followed Bandak with a look of confusion on their faces, and after turning a street corner, they ascended to a prestigious house.
"This is Pique's residence?" Able asked.
After reaching the second floor, a house that had apparently been abandoned appeared in front of the trio.
Bandak knew he was on the right track, and didn't immediately step into the house. Instead, he stayed in the doorway, looking at the stairwell where he had fought Gilbert.
