"Why isn't this list identified?" Kant asked Abel suspiciously.

"I don't know." Able shook his head and responded.

Kant seems to have been obsessed with this question, and his brow is always furrowed as he walks down the road.

"Your Majesty, is this question important?" Bandak couldn't help but ask tentatively.

"If you want to say something important," Kant pouted, "it made my impression of dragons fluctuate." ”

"Your Majesty, do you mean to say: the dragons don't plan to take sides yet?" Able thought for a moment and asked.

Kant's eyes lit up, he laughed softly, and said, "You are so smart. ”

Dismayed by the sudden compliment, Able bowed his head shyly and said nothing.

Seeing that Kant agreed with Bandak's statement, Bandak continued to ask, "Since the dragons have no intention of joining either side, why are they acting so proactively?" ”

"The Dragons' position on this island is not for nothing." Kant narrowed his eyes and replied, "They are acting so actively in order to assert their status as guardians. Participating in this rally, the statement looks aggressive, and secretly leaves a way out for both the light and dark sides. ”

"I see." Able took Kant's words, pondered for a moment, and then responded.

Kant looked at him with a smile in his eyes and said, "The reconnaissance team was able to successfully complete the task of helping the gnomes, you have helped a lot." I don't think DeWitt and Cremont are as quick as you are. ”

"DeWitt and Cremont are both very good leaders, and I'm just there to help." Speaking of his deceased friend, Abel did not speak lightly.

"Good people are always attracted to each other." Kant held out his hand to Abel and said, "I look forward to working with you on this island. We must find out who is behind this and make them pay the price. ”

"Hmm. Do your best. Able bowed respectfully and took Kant's outstretched hand back with both hands.

"This operation requires more than just our efforts." Kant nodded and said, "There is also the assistance of Raphael." He doesn't seem to be in good shape, so you can find time to check on him. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the end of the line, where Raphael was being carried behind by a soldier.

Abel was stunned when he heard Raphael's name. Then he appealed to Kant: "Your Majesty, I do not think that Raphael is required to participate in this operation. He is already a traitor, and he may at some point flee to the enemy's sphere of influence to seek refuge. ”

"I've heard that you and Raphael have known each other for ten years." Kant did not confront his question directly, but responded, "You haven't met since this happened. Let's talk to him first. Ask him if he would like to help us. ”

Able raised his head to meet Kant's gaze, and nodded silently after seeing the other's determined eyes.

The camp on the coast was still very close, and in less than half an hour, a group of people walked to the door of the barracks.

"Captain Able! Your Majesty! Bandak Commander! The elven soldier crouched down in front of the three leaders and saluted.

"Get up." Kant said.

When the elven soldiers stood up straight, Abel asked one of his subordinates, "How is the situation outside the camp today?" ”

"The orcs who were watching around here the other day have withdrawn." Subordinate soldiers reported.

"Hmm." Able replied with a nod.

"It is estimated that the movements of the dragon clan have spread all over the coast, and these people should not have time to spy on us again in the short term." Bandak reasoned.

"Dinner is ready, please drop off your luggage. Follow the soldiers in the battalion to the dining room. Able beckoned to the Calradia soldiers behind him.

"Yes!" The soldiers replied neatly.

The sound reminded Bandak of his trekking through the mountains and forests, and that the soldiers of Calradia would respond to his reprimands every morning at the rally.

His eyes unconsciously glanced at the end of the line.

"Raphael—" Abel pronounced the name in a weak, inaudible voice.

Inside the dinner restaurant, the atmosphere is not as lively as expected. After all, everyone was still immersed in that sad atmosphere.

Abel looked around the dining room and asked the subordinates who organized the soldiers to receive the meal, "What about Lord Kant and Commander Bandak?" ”

"I'm still in the tent, and I'm going to be there later." The soldier replied.

"Hmm." Abel went on to ask, "What about Raphael?" ”

"Raphael... He also stayed in the tent and listened to the soldiers of Calradia say that he would not go to the dining room to eat while he was on the ship. It was the soldiers who sent it to him. The soldier said cautiously.

"Did you deliver today's dinner?" Able asked with a deep breath.

"Not yet." The soldier brought out a plate of dishes and looked at Abel as he spoke.

"I'll send it to him." Able took the plate and said.

"Captain," the soldier said worriedly as he handed the tray to Abel.

"Don't worry, I won't kill him." Able said indifferently.

With that, he turned and walked out of the restaurant.

The place where Raphael lived was kept for him: a small tent in the corner of the camp.

Able stood outside the tent door with a tray and said, "Raphael, are you there?" ”

There was no response from the people inside. Able lifted the curtain and walked inside.

Raphael, who was lying on his bed, turned his head to look at him, tears on his expressionless face.

Bandak, not knowing who the tears were for, sat down in front of him with a plate and said, "I heard that you need someone to bring it to you before you eat dinner." ”

Raphael pursed his lips and said nothing. Stared straight into Abel face.

Able met his gaze, and his eyes began to turn red. "I really can't figure out why you betrayed us. As far as I can remember, you're not that kind of person. ”

"Thank you for coming to see me." Raphael turned his face sideways and spoke.

"Don't you explain?" Abel put his hand on Raphael's shoulder and said.

"I just want to live." Raphael spat out these words and closed his eyes in pain.

"To survive? What about Cremont them? Should they bury their lives in the deep sea for you? Bandak roared, "Do you know that I still don't dare to tell the new Gilbert... News of Austinger's death. For I am afraid that he will fall down in front of me and ask me, how many people have suffered for one of your actions! ”
