Chapter 809: Nomads on the Coast

"Don't listen to Bandak. I woke up feeling much better. Kant smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I don't need you to take care of it at all. ”

After listening to Kant's words, Able breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, the dragon doctor is very skilled. It is absolutely impossible for the two of us alone to make your fever go away so quickly, Your Majesty. ”

"I wanted to thank the doctor before I left today, but I didn't find him in the castle." Bandak thought back.

"Yesterday should have delayed a lot of time for other doctors." Kant had heard from Bandak that the doctor had personally instructed the kitchen to prepare the meal, and he guessed, "There aren't many people in this castle, so I must have startled the dragons when I fainted yesterday." ”

"Not only them, but we were also taken aback." Bandak glanced at Kant and said, "Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. ”

"Huh." Kant chuckled, "I'm sorry to worry you." I'm in good health right now. ”

"You should still bring the medic with you." Abel frowned and said, "None of the three of us are well-versed in medicine, and it is too dangerous to come to this place where the climate and environment are completely unfamiliar. ”

"It's okay, we're going to meet up with the soldiers soon, anyway." Kant comforted. As he said this, he raised his hand and lifted the curtains, looking out at the scenery outside the carriage.

Bandak sat directly opposite Kant, and he also glanced at it, and saw a pterodactyl in his sight flashing before saying, "I didn't expect the dragon clan's territory on the island to be so big, I don't know if we can get out of here today." ”

"It's huge, indeed." Kant nodded and said, "It seems that their territory is almost surrounded by volcanoes. ”

"After all, it's the 'guardians' of this island." Abel said, "With the protection of the dragons, the nomads living near the volcano should be living quite well. ”

"It's a mixed bag." Bandak shook his head and said, "The dragons are too monopolistic, so the nomads near the volcano must also follow the rules they have set. ”

"Hmm." Kant nodded: "This battle should be regarded as some nomads on the island putting pressure on the dragons. However, I don't think they'll be able to upend this dragon-centric era. After all, judging from the actions of the dragon clan in the last few days, they did not show any slackness. ”

"Hmm." Able nodded in agreement with Kant.

In the bumps of the carriage, the three of them soon fell asleep in the carriage.

When sunset came, the horseman hired by the dragons stopped the carriage in front of a dirt slope and woke up the three who were still taking a nap.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I can only stop here today." The groom lifted the curtain and whispered into the carriage.

"Where is this?" Able woke up quickly after the carriage stopped. At this time, with sleepy eyes open, he asked the coachman.

"We're almost at the border." The coachman replied, "But there is no hotel to stay in." I guess I can only ask you to spend the night in the carriage tonight. ”

"Got it, you've worked hard too." Bandak woke up to the sound of the conversation and beckoned to the coachman, "Come in and make a fire, it's too cold outside." ”

"Thank you, sir." The groom said gratefully. He walked to the carriage and sat down, and stretched out his hands that were cold and purple to the stove.

"It's almost March, why is it still so cold." Able said as he rolled up the windswept curtains to the inside of the carriage.

"It's okay." The coachman rubbed his hands together and replied, "It's just that these higher places are colder." Those places along the coast must have turned green. ”

"Not really," Bandak responded, "We just came from the coast two days ago." It's also very cold in there. ”

"Two days?" The coachman was surprised.

"Oh, I forgot to say it." Bandak patted his forehead and said, "It was the soldiers of the dragon clan who flew over with us. ”

"That's nice." "It's been a long time since I've been home on the coast," the driver said enviously. It takes at least two months to go back and forth, which is too time-consuming, and many of the places on the way are too dangerous. ”

"Hmm." Abel knows this well.

"Have you started a family on this island?" Kant asked hesitantly.

The coachman, like them, belongs to ordinary human beings. Humans do not have a fixed community on this island, and it is hard to imagine that a human nomad would make a home on such an island.

"Well, my wife is a crew member of a cruise ship in the harbor." The coachman nodded, "It's also a kraken." ”

"You... Got a baby? Bandak couldn't help but ask.

"No, but we've adopted a Kraken and a half-orc cub, and they're our children." The coachman thought for a moment and replied.

"You're amazing." Kant praised.

"Many of the homeless people who live near the beach where the harbour is located are idle people like me. There are also some nomads who do not want to join their own forces. Everyone comes from different races, and they come together to take care of each other. The coachman carefully explained: "When I see abandoned young sons and so on, I will take them home and raise them." ”

"I see." Abel said, "Then why did you come to work as a groom near the volcano?" ”

"Actually, I just want to return the favor of General Crichton." The driver said: "After waiting for the permit from the stewardship at the foot of the volcano." So he was transferred here, and he has been helping with things under the dragon clan. ”

"General Crichton?" Bandak asked.

"Ah, I forgot." The coachman cupped his forehead and said, "I can't call Master Milard like that now, I'm sorry." ”

Bandak and Kant looked at each other with a hint of confusion in their eyes.

"Master Millard used to be in charge of the army, right?" Able asked tentatively, "The dragon leader who led us the way before seems to have mentioned this as well. ”

"Hmm." The coachman raised his head, looked at Abel and said, "At that time, the dragon army was under the command of Young Master Millard, but it was really high-spirited. And it was also the best time for the island to be safe. ”

As he said this, his pupils flickered, as if he was also a member of the dragon army.

"And then?" Bandak wondered.

"I don't really know what happened next." The coachman shook his head and responded.

Chapter 810: The Carriage Across the Plains

The doubts on the faces of the Kant trio deepened.

"I heard that Young Master Millard is the heir of the Dragon Clan." "But it seems that none of his generals are on this island. ”

"Where did you hear that?" The groom asked in shock.

"It's all told us by the dragon leader I mentioned earlier." Kant replied frankly.

"I didn't expect him to tell you so much...", the coachman lowered his head and said, "What I know is probably that Master Millard was seriously injured in a battle due to a command error caused by the intensification of internal contradictions in the army, and the 'king' sent all the generals of the counsellors overseas. ”

"What does Young Master Millard think about this decision?" Kant asked.

"This... We don't know. The coachman shook his head and said, "There are so many people involved in this matter, and we are just surprised that so many soldiers have been transferred overseas." ”

"Hmm." Kant nodded and said, "No good general will not cherish his soldiers." It's a shame for Master Millard's men. ”

"But that was a long time ago." The coachman sighed, "Recently, Young Master Millard's mind has probably been focused on the recent events on the island. ”

"There's really been a lot going on on the island lately." Able nodded, "By the way, after talking for so long, I only know that you are a human race." What's your name, please? ”

"Flynn." The coachman replied, "That's what everyone usually calls me." ”

"Hello Flynn. My name is Bandak and I am an officer from Karadia. Bandak continued, "This is Lord Kant who rules Calradia, and the one who asked you for his name is a general from the Elven Kingdom named Able. ”

"Hello!" Flynn bowed his head in respect of each name he uttered in Bandak.

"I've been talking for so long, I'm hungry." Kant took out his duffel bag from under his seat and beckoned to Flynn, "It's hard to say that you can't have a good dinner in such a cold weather." I have here a lot of dry food, and I can give you a portion. ”

"No, no. Thank you, Your Majesty. The groom hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Those of us who have been on the road for others all the year round will not forget to bring food to eat." ”

"It's okay, didn't you have to turn back from the town after sending us over?" Kant smiled and advised: "You still have to save some food with you." ”

The groom glanced at Kant and saw that he was intent on insisting. So I had to agree: "Okay then." Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift. ”

"It's fine." Kant shook his head and said.

After dinner, several people stepped out of the carriage and breathed in the fresh air of the fields.

"The stars in the sky are so bright." Bandak pointed to the blue night sky and said to the people around him.

"Tomorrow should be a good day." Able took a deep breath and responded.

"Hmm." Bandak nodded.

Watching the moon rise higher and higher, a cold wind swept over the plains. The four of them immediately got back into the carriage.

Because the space in the carriage was not very large, the groom offered to keep vigil in the driver's seat that night.

Fearing for his safety, Bandak stepped out of the carriage and set up a bunk beside the groom. After the groom fell asleep, he came to watch for the rest of the night, and took care of each other.

Kant also agreed to such an arrangement.

It was their last night in the Dragons.

Early the next morning, Kant and Able woke up in a rocking carriage. Flynn and Bandak had packed everything and hurried out of the border on horseback.

Hearing the commotion in the carriage, Bandak happily lifted the curtain of the door. He said to Abel who was not yet conscious: "Abel you are right. Today's weather is really much better. ”

Kant was so loud by Bandak's loud voice that he sat up directly. Lift the curtains in the carriage and look out at the sky.

Look at the blue clouds and the sun-lit river. Kant's mood was also detached from the dullness of the previous days, and the corners of his mouth rose: "Spring on the island is coming." ”

Able handed Kant biscuits and water, and said, "Your Majesty, your breakfast." ”

"Thank you." Kant took the water, took a sip, and said to Able.

"Flynn! When will we be able to reach the foot of the volcano? After breakfast, Able stepped out of the carriage as well, soaking up the sun and asking Flynn as he was riding his horse.

"Tonight." Flynn responded.

"That's great!" Able took a deep breath and said, "I can finally sleep in bed tonight." ”

"Flynn, are you going to stay with us tonight?" Bandak handed Flynn a glass of water and said.

"Well, thank you." Flynn took a careful sip and replied, "Probably not, there are still guests waiting for me in the town who are going out of town." I guess I'll have to sleep somewhere else tonight. ”

"Why are you so busy?" Able frowned and asked, "You don't have time to rest like this, do you?" ”

"It's okay," Flynn said with a smile, "I think I'm pretty good at my job." ”

Bandak looked at Flynn's smiling face, his mouth half-open, but he still didn't say anything.

They chatted and hurried, and when Flynn was tired, Able would take the whip from his hand. He sat in the driver's seat.

However, after Flynn had regained some of his strength, Able would consciously give up his driving position under the gaze of Bandak and Kant.

"Don't tell me you didn't practice riding a horse before you went into battle." Bandak fell to the number of Abel lands.

"This—" Able was speechless in embarrassment.

After all, during his training before enlistment, the task of riding a horse almost prevented him from joining the army.

In general, there is enthusiasm, but the technology cannot be improved in any way.

"I almost threw up on you just now." Kant couldn't help but complain.

“... I'm sorry. Able was besieged by the two of them, and he was speechless.

"Hahaha," Flynn laughed, glancing at the three of them, "you're so interesting." ”

The three of them looked at each other at the laughter, and eventually laughed as well.

Before the sun went down, Flynn sent Kant and the others to the town at the foot of the volcano.

"Don't you go in?" Bandak asked Flynn as he stood on the ground.

"Carriages are not allowed to enter the city at will, and I have made an appointment with the guests to wait for them here." Flynn explained, "I wish you all the best of luck. ”

"There's a chance to see you again." Kant smiled as he walked and beckoned to Flynn.

Chapter 811: A visit from the new goblin king

The goblins defending the city let them go after inspecting the packages they were carrying.

The three of them walked towards the main road in the city, where they saw an army of goblins patrolling the streets.

"It seems that the Goblin Kingdom is recovering well," Abel nodded, "and has taken back the control of this town." ”

After hearing his words, Bandak, who had never been here before, asked in surprise, "Is this town under the volcano run by goblins?" ”

"No, no, no, it's regulated by the forces that inhabit the volcano in turn. It's just that in recent years, it's been the turn of the goblins. Abel explained.

"I heard that on your way to the volcano, you adopted a goblin as a captive." Kant spoke, "That goblin is called Gilbert, and it seems to have helped you a lot." ”

"Did DeWitt mention him to you in the letter?" Speaking of Gilbert, a smile appeared on Ebbert's lips and responded, "He did us a lot of help, but we didn't get the only thing he asked us to do." ”

"What did he mention to you?" Kant continued.

"It's a simple thing: take care of a soldier." Able's tone became sad, "However, that soldier, like Cremont, has buried his life in the deep sea in the shipwreck. ”

"Gilbert, does he know the news?" Kant was silent for a moment and then spoke softly.

Abel shook his head and replied, "I haven't sent him a message since the incident. However, since the dragons already know the news. Gilbert: He's probably not far from knowing about it. ”

"Now that we're in this town, you should go to Gilbert and tell him what happened." Kant patted Abel on the back and said, "This should be one of the few things we can do for the fallen soldiers." ”

"Hmm. I will. Abel agreed.

Able took Kant and Bandak to stay at a hotel where they had been staying.

While they were debating whether or not to take a walk around the streets, an army of goblins burst into the lobby of the inn. At the end of the line was Gilbert dressed in brocade.

Kant and Bandak had never met Gilbert before, and were guessing Gilbert's identity when they saw Gilbert walking straight towards them sitting in the corner.

"Abel it's been a long time." Gilbert stood in front of Able with a smile on his face and greeted him.

"Long time no see, Gilbert." Able looked up.

Kant glanced at Bandak, who immediately said to Abel, "Abel, it seems that people have come to you on purpose." Let's go shopping in the streets first. The two of you are chatting slowly. ”

Able pursed his lips, nodded to Kant, and agreed, "Okay." Stay safe. ”

"Hmm."

Gilbert sat down beside Able, looked at the backs of Kant and his wife as they walked towards the door, and asked, "Who are the two of them?" ”

"Lord of Calradia and Commander of the Army." Abel explained.

"Do you know why I came to you?" Gilbert nodded, directing the surrounding soldiers to exit the room.

"I'm really sorry about Austinger." Able bowed his head and responded.

"The other day, I heard about a shipwreck on the volcano. Before I could write to you, I heard that you had been taken into their territory by the dragons. Gilbert clenched his fists and asked him tremblingly, "You tell me, did something really happen to Austinger?" ”

"Well, his body has been recovered and brought ashore in Cumberland." "The funeral took place in the main city of Calradia, Dehrim," Abel said. ”

"Why is this happening?" Gilbert cried out, "Have you forgotten what you promised me?" ”

"The people in the army mutinied, and all the crew members who came on board died, and the cripples were crippled." Abel explained: "Even Cremont..."

When Gilbert heard the news, he looked at Abel in disbelief and said, "Tell me the name of the mutiner, and I will make him worse than dead." ”

"The mutinous soldier has committed suicide." Able's shoulders were already hunched, and he stated, "He jumped ship with him after helping us bring out the personnel in charge of contacting his Dark Side forces." ”

Gilbert put his hand on his forehead, took a few deep breaths, and said, "You've only been out of here for so long, and that's what happened. Is it because he helped the dwarf people? ”

"Yes. The dwarves laid an ambush on the outskirts of the city as we walked out of the town's gates. Abel recalled, "But DeWitt and Cremont's men didn't let them succeed. ”

"So they bought it again and did something black on the boat you were on." Able closed his eyes and said, "Where have you found it now?" ”

"You can only check it layer by layer." Able sighed and said, "Now I only know that one of the snake women is called Carat, who is a member of the Covert Organization who is responsible for enduring this scheme. ”

"You have no foundation on this island. If you continue to investigate in this way, it is estimated that you will not find out when the two forces are at war head-on. Gilbert stood up and said to Able, "I'll let my men investigate this matter." You just have to keep yourself safe. ”

"The lord of Calradia himself came to this island for this purpose, and you have told us to remain in this town as if nothing had happened." Able shook his head and said, "It's still too reluctant." ”

"Okay." Gilbert thought for a moment and nodded, "If you really want to check, I can't stop it." Let's see who can find out who is behind this first. Then deal with them in the way they most want. ”

With that, Gilbert left the inn with his army.

At the entrance of the hotel, I happened to meet Kant and Bandak, who had come back from shopping. Gilbert took the initiative to greet Kant: "Hello, Lord of Calradia. I am the new lord of the goblins, Gilbert. ”

"Hello, my name is Kant. This is the commander of Karadia's army, Bandak. Kant politely responded.

"Hello, Commander Bandak." Gilbert's gaze wandered from Kant to Bandak's body, and he said to him, "I don't know, do you remember that there was a soldier named Austinger in your ranks?" ”

"Yes." Bandak bowed his head slightly and replied, "He is an excellent soldier with a gentle personality and strong execution. ”

Chapter 812: A Different Kind of Accommodation Experience

"Well, it looks like we're talking about the same person." Gilbert nodded and said, "I heard that his body has been transported back to your country, and I will definitely visit him if I have the chance." We'll see you later. ”

"Hmm." Kant and Bandak bowed to Gibert.

Gilbert glanced at them and turned to leave.

"According to Devit, this new goblin lord seems to be underage." Kant said, looking at Gilbert's back.

"He is young, but he already has the momentum to rise above the throne." Bandak commented.

"Your Majesty! Bandak Commander! Able walked out of the lobby of the hotel and greeted the two men.

"How are you talking?" Kant asked.

"Gilbert promised to help us investigate who was behind the Dark Side forces, but he didn't tell me what he would do. It seems that Austinger's death did hit him quite a bit. Able sighed and said.

"Hopefully Gilbert won't be presumptuous in this matter." "If he does something drastic to the Dark Side and negatively affects his identity, that's in trouble. ”

"So we have to find out who is behind the scenes before he does." Kant thought for a moment and said.

"However, it will take about five days for our army to get here." Bandak said worriedly.

"It's okay, the three of us can look it up." Kant said firmly: "While this time does not attract the attention of the nomadic forces, we can go anywhere in the town to search for news." ”

"Yes!" Bandak and Abel agreed.

The three of them walked into the inn together, and the innkeeper, who was hiding under the ledger, immediately rushed out and stood in front of them. With a flattering face, he said: "Your distinguished guests turned out to be friends of His Royal Highness Gilbert, and it was really rude and rude before. I'll send a waiter to change your room at once. ”

"No need." Bandak frowned and said, "The place we live in now is pretty good. ”

The innkeeper said with a puzzled face: "Don't worry, your luggage will be delivered to the new room by the waiter, and the dinner can also be customized by yourself, and the dining cart will be delivered to the room." It's all gratuitous. ”

Able looked the innkeeper up and down with complicated eyes: he and DeWitt and the others had also rested in this inn before. And Gilbert knocked a big hole in the door of the inn one night, and it seems that two months have passed since this incident, and the owner does not remember it at all.

"Okay then." Kant smiled and took the key to the new guest room handed by the boss. Yan thanked him: "Thank you, boss." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." The boss also looked happy and responded with a smile.

Bandak pursed his lips and followed Kant up the stairs to the second floor.

The innkeeper looked at Abole, who was still standing there, staring at him, and said timidly, "Won't you go up, this guest?" ”

"Boss, the door to this lobby is very beautiful." After Abel left this sentence, he followed him up the stairs.

The innkeeper looked at Abel suspiciously, and silently said, "How about looking good, I can't give it to you." I asked someone to give me a new outfit... Huh? This person seems familiar? ”

After entering the rearranged room, all three chose to walk to the bed and lie down.

"I'm so tired today." Bandak stretched his stiff body and said, "Don't wake me up until dinner." ”

"The waiter who delivered the luggage will knock on the door later, right?" Able sat in his chair, looked at the door, and said.

"Please." Bandak had taken off his boots and covered himself with a quilt.

Able glanced at him helplessly, then looked in the direction where Kant was.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Able walked up to Kant and asked curiously.

"Today Bandak and I walked around the streets around here, and now we're jotting down the names of the guilds we see." Kant tilted his head and explained.

"I see, is it like a guild in a dwarven town?" Able nodded.

Kant thought for a moment and replied, "There are some differences. This is because the guilds in this town are run by different races: they are smaller than the dwarven guilds, and you can find out differently. ”

"Hmm." Abel nodded and said, "Tomorrow, what is our mission?" ”

"Of course, to find out about Cara's background and her recent movements." Kant responded, "If she's been hiding in the Serpent's territory, we'll have to find a way to lure her out." ”

"Sure enough, we still have to start with the clues left by Yingyan." Able responded.

"Knock knock, is Lord Kant here?" There was a knock on the door.

Kant glanced at Able and motioned for him to open the door.

"I guess it's the guy who delivered the luggage." Able muttered as he walked towards the door.

"Kara-" The door to the guest room was opened by Able, and standing outside was a uniformed waiter. At the feet of the waiter lay the luggage of the three men.

Able picked up the luggage on the ground and thanked the waiter, "Thank you." Great work. ”

"What's your name, please?" The waiter stopped Bandak, who was about to turn away, and asked.

"Well, my name is Bandak." Able replied back to the waiter.

"Dinner is about to start, have you ordered?" The waiter asked as he pulled out a notebook.

“... Order? No. Abel put his luggage at his feet with a puzzled expression, thought for a moment, and replied.

"This is our menu, please take a look at it and the guests inside." The waiter handed over a small leather notebook and explained to Abel: "The bell in the room can summon the waiter, and then give him the marked menu." ”

"Oh, I see." Able nodded and responded, "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome." The waiter responded. After watching Able walk through the door with his luggage, he turned and went downstairs.

When Able walked inside, Kant immediately put down his pen, stepped forward to take his luggage, and asked, "Why have you been talking for so long?" ”

"The waiter gave me a dinner menu, and told me that the bells in the house could summon the innkeepers." Able put his luggage on the bed and explained, "Let me see where the bell he said is." ”

"That's it." Kant pointed to the bell in front of the door.
