Chapter 817: The two who rushed to the top of the mountain

The teleportation array could not send them directly to the territory of the Goblin Country, and after Kant and Able stopped at their stronghold halfway up the mountain, they asked for directions and hurried to the main city gate.

"Hey! I'm Elven Soldier Leader Elble! I am friends with your Highness Gilbert, and now something urgent has happened! We must meet him. Once under the city gates, Able shouted at the goblin soldiers on the walls.

The goblin soldiers who heard the movement looked at each other, but some of them recognized Kant and Ebel. He opened the gates for them and went down the tower to meet them.

"Hello, Your Majesty Kant of Calradia." A goblin soldier walked up to Kant, saluted him, and asked, "Your Majesty Gilbert has not yet returned to the palace. I don't know what you're looking for? ”

"Where is Gilbert now?" Abel asked anxiously.

"I'm on my way back from the snake woman's territory, and it's estimated that I won't be able to return to the country until late tonight." The goblin soldier answered Abel's question.

Kant nodded, bent down slightly, took the soldier's hand, and said, "Thank you." Today, one of our companions is missing. For now, it seems to be something to do with what Gilbert did when he went to Serpentwoman's territory. We would like to consult with His Highness Gilbert about the next steps. ”

"I see." The goblin soldier frowned when he heard Kant's explanation. Then he beckoned to the two of them, "Then I will immediately send my soldiers to send the two adults into the palace." Wait for His Highness Gilbert to return to the city, and then report the matter to him. ”

"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Kant nodded in acknowledgement.

The goblin soldier summoned the nearby soldier and whispered a few words in his ear. After the subordinate stepped back, a horse-drawn carriage was led in front of Kant and Able a few moments later.

The goblin coachman who stepped down from the carriage quietly stepped aside after setting up the small ladder to board the carriage.

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

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

Kant was the first to step on the ladder and board the carriage. The goblin carriage was a bit smaller than the carriage used by the Terrans. After Able squeezed into the carriage as well, Kant could only reluctantly tighten his shoulders.

At the sound of the horses, the carriage moved and galloped towards the main road in the city.

Kant and Able did not say a word for the entire journey because of their awkward postures. It wasn't until half an hour passed that the driver lifted the curtain and beckoned the two to get out of the car. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and walked outside the carriage to move their muscles.

"Two adults, we've arrived." The coachman pointed to the door of the palace and said, "The guards at the gate will arrange the next trip for you." ”

"Okay, thank you." Abel agreed.

"It's fine." The coachman smiled and said, "I'll quit first." ”

"Hmm."

When the carriage left the palace gates, Kant looked around: it was not the center of the city, and there were not many buildings around. The few pedestrians who come and go on the street are mostly richly dressed. It seems that this is a residential area dedicated to goblin nobility.

At this time, a soldier in armor stepped forward and accosted the two of them, "Are you a guest who has come to meet His Highness Gilbert?" The army defending the city sent you here, right? ”

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

"His Highness estimates that he will not be able to return to the dormitory until the early hours of the morning. Please come with me to the accommodation I have arranged. The soldier responded, "When His Highness Gilbert returns, there will be soldiers who will immediately rush to inform your lordship." ”

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

The soldier took the two to a richly decorated rest house before taking his leave.

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

"yes." Able leaned against the window and whispered, "I don't know how Bandak is now..."

Although both of them were too tired to work, the 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 news in silence.

Pique didn't go far with the unconscious Bandak, and after stepping out of the sight of the onlookers, he turned back to the residence he had bought on the street.

He hadn't informed the rest of the Dark Side forces about this operation. It's just that because he couldn't get angry with Gilbert's arrogant style, he couldn't help but take action against Bandak and his party.

After Kant and the others entered the town, the orcs who were in charge of contacting themselves introduced the background of the group to themselves. And told them to keep an eye on them: the 'Yinchi' worm was also planted on Bandak's body at that time.

Peake peered through the crack in the window to the door of the union and saw the goblin army surveying the site. and Kant and Abel who rushed to hear the news. The two of them stood in front of the door of the guild, not knowing what they were talking about with their heads down.

"Sipa. Listen to what they're saying. Peake kept an eye on Kant's location and commanded softly.

A small snake with a transparent constitution swam from the windowsill on the second floor to the stone steps beside Kant, and the two did not notice its presence. The conversation echoed with great clarity in Pique's ears.

"Huh." When Pique heard that Kant was planning to declare war on the dark side forces, he let out a sneer and said disdainfully: "It's just a small desert country." It's really self-aware. ”

"You..."

While Pique was still listening to Kant, Bandak, who was lying on the floor, woke up, but his consciousness was still in a trance, and after seeing the unfamiliar back in front of him, he hesitated to call.

Pique was so frightened by this sudden cry that he cut off the connection of spiritual power, and the little snake called 'Sipa' also shrank into a hole in the ground.

This little snake with a transparent body is very afraid of the sun. Without the blessing of magic, it can only stay in a place where there is no sunlight.

"Sipa!" Peake couldn't help but speak. After not seeing the little snake, he turned around hatefully and glared at Bandak. Said: "What the hell are you called! ”

“... I remember. After Bandak regained consciousness, he stared at Pique and said, "You're that bastard beast tamer!" ”

"Well, and then what?" Peake lifted a wooden chair and threw it at Bandak, saying angrily, "It's all because of that ghost scream you just made, and now Patsy doesn't know where to go!" You guys are really broomsticks! ”

Chapter 818: An accomplice who met by chance on the street

Bandak grabbed the wooden chair that flew in front of him, stood up and asked Peake, "I was stunned from behind by that cheetah you raised, right?" ”

"It seems that its palm is still not hard enough." Pique looked out the window and said to Bandak behind him.

"Now that I've woken up, let's play again." Bandak reached out to his waist, only to find that his weapon was not in the scabbard.

"Huh." Pique 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're qualified to fight against me right now. ”

"Bastard! Don't be underestimated... Yes! Bandak clenched his fists and shouted angrily. In his eyes, these hand-to-hand combat alone was enough to deal with the attack brought by Pique. However, only halfway through the words in his mouth, there was a tearing pain at the knees of his legs. He instantly sat down on the floor.

"I'm a person who doesn't like to fight, and I've only played against you for a few rounds before because I want the 'Yinchi' child to grow up quickly in your body." A strange smile tugged at the corner of Pique's lips as he continued, "It seems that they are growing up fairly well now. ”

"Damn!" Bandak's lower limbs were completely paralyzed, and the larvae were invading his bone marrow.

"It hurts now, doesn't it?" Pique crouched in front of Bandak and pretended to be innocent and said, "It's okay, it won't hurt in a few days." Because they can also invade your brain and occupy your nerves. Replace you, become 'you'. ”

"What is your purpose?" Bandak asked, gritting his teeth.

"Purpose, there is a small purpose to use you in exchange for members of our organization." Pique met Bandak's eyes and said seriously, "It's just that I think you're letting your consciousness be manipulated, and yours or something... Card... Radia is a good plan. What do you think? ”

"Bah, don't think about any of these things." Bandak said angrily, "Even if I die, I won't let you use me to attack Calradia." ”

"Hmph." Peake snorted disdainfully: "Your life is in my hands, and it is up to me whether you live or die." ”

After saying this, Pique stood up and walked out the door, his main concern now was Sipa's safety. After locking the door, he walked quickly to the downstairs lobby and hid behind the door to observe the movement on the street.

Kant and Abel had left where they were, not knowing where they had gone. After the goblin soldiers settled everything and left the scene, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.

While surveying the pedestrians on the road, Peake cautiously walked to the door of the guild and whispered, "Sipa, Sipa, where are you?" ”

"Shhh

Pique immediately walked over and crawled on the ground, searching for Sipa. Finally stopped in front of a hidden hole, where Sipa was cowering.

"Sipa, I'm coming to pick you up." Peake said happily, "Let's go back." ”

Peake held out his hand to Sipa, and a wave of spiritual power flowed from his fingertips into the top of Sipa's head. As if healed, Sipa walked out of the cave and walked slowly to Pique's shoulder, disappearing into thin air.

Peake exhaled in a relaxed breath, straightened up, and patted the dust off his body.

"Luckily, I didn't lose it this time." Peake whispered.

"Pique!" At this moment, a gruff voice reached Pique's ears. and his heart was immediately constricted.

"Mundy." With a stiff smile on his face, Peake raised his hand to the oncoming orcs and greeted him.

"What are you doing here?" Mundy walked up to Peake, patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "I was standing on the streets of the West Side just now, and I felt the movements of those treasures under you." Got in trouble? ”

"Hmm," Peake pouted, and said, "yes, I met someone who had found fault with me before, and I wanted to teach him a lesson." I didn't expect the action to be a little bigger. ”

"It's a small thing." After listening to Pique's explanation, Mondy waved his hand lightly and said with a smile: "I can only say that that person's luck is not so good." I'll go and explain, and the people at the prison will settle it for you. ”

"Thank you so much." Peake nodded.

"No, you don't." Just as Peake was about to take his leave, Mondy stopped him and asked, "By the way, how are the people I arranged for you to spy on before?" ”

"How's that?" said Peake, frowning and thinking for a moment, "No, they seem to have given the task of investigation to the king of the Goblin Country." I've been hanging out all day now. ”

"Well," said Mundy, rubbing his hair, "that's really boring." You can observe for a few more days, and if they don't investigate, the surveillance mission can be canceled. ”

"But," Peake said hesitantly.

"Don't worry, Lord of the Kingdom is just asking us to watch out for outsiders in this archipelago." "They can't afford to make waves," Mundy said. ”

"Okay then." Peake promised, "Then I'll continue to observe." ”

"Alright," Mundy nodded, "I'm just here to say hello to you." I'll have to go back to drinking with my friends, goodbye. ”

"Hmm." Peake said with a slight bend.

After seeing Mondy turn away, Pique also walked back to his residence.

Walking up to the second floor, Peake stood quietly outside the door for a while, and there was no movement in the room. This made him frown.

After lightly removing the lock, a powerful impact knocked Pique seven or eight meters away. fell on the edge of the wall.

Peake cupped his dizzy head and looked forward. Seeing Bandak, who was dragging his legs, appeared in his name.

"How did you get out?" Peake asked curiously, staring at Bandak as if he were looking at a monster.

"Hmph," Bandak said, looking up at Pique, "I said that even if I die, I won't let myself be manipulated by a villain like you." ”

"Huh." Peake smiled: "Do you think that if you seal your own meridians, you can organize the spread of worm eggs?" ”

"At least for now, it's working out pretty well." The corners of Bandak's mouth curled into a smile, and he said confidently: "Although I don't know how long this can drag, it should be enough to use this gap to defeat you." ”

Pique's eyes instantly became cold, patted the dust on his body, stood up and said to Bandak, "Try it." ”

Chapter 819: The Second Round of Fighting

Didn't say anything more. Bandak raised his fist and slammed it into Pique's face.

"It's too slow." Pique dodged Bandak's attack and beckoned to Bandak.

Bandak was unable to keep up with Pique's body in time because of the difficulty of moving his lower limbs. You can only use your body to resist Pique's punches and kicks, and find opportunities to counterattack.

After a dozen rounds, Bandak's face was already colored. It's just that in the face of Bhandak's huge size, in the small space of this staircase, Pique's extreme dodge is not flattering. Despite his constant desire to change the battlefield, Bandak stood still. Even if Pique deliberately sold the flaw and was hammered to the ground by him, Bandak would not take advantage of the victory to chase after him. Follow him to shift positions.

Bhandak's battle-hardened physique came into play, and the injuries on his body did not become a burden, but the fierce battle made him more excited. And as time passed, Pique exposed more and more flaws in the battle.

Before he knew it, Bandak was gradually gaining the upper hand.

"You—" Pique shouted as he crouched in the corner panting, staring at Bandak.

At the beginning of the fight, he summoned the energy of the predator that was kept in his body and grafted it onto his body, allowing him to successfully dodge a punch from Bandak.

However, by now, Pique's spiritual power was running out and he could no longer maintain his 'predatory form'.

"What's wrong?" Bandak dragged his legs, walked slowly in front of Pique, and said to him mockingly, "Is that all you can do?" I haven't started to exert my full strength yet. ”

"I... Admit defeat. Peake raised his hand in surrender. After seeing Bandak approaching, the fierce light in his eyes flashed, and he used the silver blade hidden between his sleeves.

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

"You... Let me go. Peake's face was distorted by the pain in his wrist. Call out the vocal voice.

"Where is the antidote to this worm Gu you gave me?" Bandak asked, staring at Pique.

"There is no antidote, you let me go!" Peake struggled.

"Humph!" Bandak's hand relented, and Pique clutched his right wrist and crawled on the ground wailing. Glancing up, he saw Bandak pull out a knife and asked in horror, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Since you don't want to say it, I can only force you to speak." Bandak glanced at Pique, and his knife fell, making a small cut in his upper leg.

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

"Don't talk nonsense!" Bandak stared at his wound for a moment, and when he saw a wriggling larva, he quickly carried it out of his body with his fingertips.

The larvae of 'Yinchi' are milky white, and they still twist and turn from side to side as they move between the palms of Bandak's hands.

Bandak looked at Peake, who was cowering in the corner, and asked indifferently, "One last time, where is the antidote?" ”

"I... I... I'll give you the antidote. Peake's pupils fluttered violently, and after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he confessed to Bandak.

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

Peake staggered back to his room, rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find a red bottle of liquid medicine. Tremblingly, he handed it to Bandak.

Bandak took the medicine bottle in his hand, looked at it repeatedly, looked up and said to Pique, "You won't lie to me, will you?" ”

"No... No. Peake replied nervously.

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

After seeing the corpse of the larva vaporize, Bandak raised an eyebrow and drank the remaining liquid in one gulp.

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

Bandak nodded in satisfaction and said to Peake, "You told me your real name, right?" ”

"Yes." Peake agreed.

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

"You—" Peake's eyes widened in surprise as he asked Bandak, "You, aren't you going to kill me?" ”

"No," Bandak shook his head and said, "This time I will defeat you if I attack you and you underestimate the enemy." If I kill you at this time, I won't look down on myself. ”

When Pique heard Bandak's words, he was speechless in astonishment.

However, Bandak did not expect a response from him, and after a short rest, he left the room with his legs raised.

The snake women's guild downstairs hadn't opened yet, but the long queue had extinguished any hope of Bandak waiting in line.

"Your Majesty, where are they now?" Bandak tried to think about it for a while, but nothing came of it. He glanced at his ragged clothes. Bandak reluctantly walked to the hotel where he had stayed last night.

As soon as he walked into the lobby, the boss immediately greeted him and asked, "Master Bandak, why are you back?" ”

"What's wrong?" Bandak sat down on a bench next to him and said to his boss, "Could you please help me get some ointment for wounds?" I'm bruised and purple, and I'm always too conspicuous. ”

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

"I've heard you're being targeted by the animal trainers who live around here and like to find fault. He was the one who wounded you? The boss asked cautiously.

"Yes." Bandak replied with a frown. And I was slightly surprised to think that the news had spread so quickly.

"Ah, here's the medicine." The innkeeper instructed the waiter to put down the medicine box, and said to Bandak thoughtfully, "My lord, I will go and recruit someone to give you medicine." ”

"No, you don't." Bendak waved his hand nonchalantly, picked up the medicine box on the table, and walked up the stairs to the second floor. And said: "I can give myself medicine, you just remember to send someone to pick up this box." ”

"Yes." The innkeeper respectfully agreed.

"Oh, yes." With a glimmer of hope in his arms, Bandak turned to the boss who was standing in the clearing and asked, "Do you know where the two people who landed with me went?" ”

"You're talking about Lord Kant and Lord Ebel." The innkeeper thought for a moment and said, "I heard from the waiters who rushed back from the street: they seem to have gone to the teleportation base on the main street, and they probably want to go up the mountain." ”

"Up the mountain?" Bhandak's expression immediately became tangled.

Chapter 820: A Righteous Hero in Financial Distress

Bandak dragged back into the chamber with heavy steps.

He had just run out of the door of the inn on his own impulse. When he found himself penniless, he turned back in despair.

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

“... It's nothing. Bandak glanced at the boss, and his mood went even down.

At present, His Majesty Kant and Abel should have gone up the mountain to seek help from the goblins and the gnomes. But they didn't know they had escaped from Pique's grasp.

The cost of riding the teleportation array was extremely high, and until Kant and Able descended the mountain, he had to stay in the town and do something for them.

"Boss, do you have a messenger up the mountain here?" Able asked, unrelentingly.

"Yes, but the time of the recipient is not set when the receiver is in town." The innkeeper thought for a moment and responded, "Lord Bandak, do you need to send a letter up the mountain?" If the messenger comes to town, I will send you informed. ”

"Thank you." Bandak nodded, "So, may I ask how much it costs to send a letter up the mountain..."

When asked the question, Bandak bowed his head in shame. Once again, he made up his mind in his heart: he must keep some of the money in his own hands in the future, and he can no longer give it to Abel with full power.

"I remember that the price of a letter seems to be three silver coins, after all, the messenger also rode up the mountain in the teleportation array." The innkeeper said, "People don't make much money at all. ”

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

"No, you don't." The boss shook his head with a smile. Then continue to bury your head in the ledger.

Bandak silently left the ledger.

"This animal trainer is quite heavy." Bandak endured the pain and drugged himself as he remembered Piqué scurrying around the staircase.

"Knock knock!" After applying the ointment all over the mirror, there was a knock at the door.

"Who?" Bandak asked, confused, and after putting on his shirt, he immediately walked to the door and opened it.

"Ban... Hello, Lord Bandak. A waiter with a plate stammered when he saw Bandak open the door: "The store has prepared a little light food for you, most of which are helpful to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, I hope you can accept it." ”

"Huh?" Bandak glanced at the dishes on his plate, swallowed, and asked, "These... Want money? ”

"Huh?" The waiter said strangely, "No, no, no, you don't have to pay." These are all gifts from our store. ”

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

Now he had to save money to send a letter to His Majesty Kant, and he could not afford to eat any food to nourish his body.

"Then I'll retire first, you use it slowly." After the waiter had set the delicate dishes on the table, he retreated to the door and said goodbye 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 back kitchen, I met the owner of the inn.

"Hello boss." The waiter said respectfully.

"How? Did Lord Bandak accept the food you sent? The innkeeper asked nervously.

"Take it." The waiter responded.

"That's good." The boss nodded happily and said, "Lord Bandak has eliminated the great villain of Pique for us, and this alone must be taken care of by others." ”

"Boss, you're right." The waiter chimed in.

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

Now the sky outside the window is shining, and the streets are full of homeless people looking for a place to eat. Before you know it, the hour hand is already pointing to the meal.

After a hearty meal, leaning against the window and watching the crowd come and go, Bandak's expression couldn't help but become melancholy.

"Looks like I'm not quite fit to be on my own," Bandak whispered.

It is unknown if Kant and Bandak have reached the top of the mountain now, if they have met the gnome patriarch or the king of the goblin country.

If only I could follow them up the hill to find them.

In the palace of the Goblin Country, Kant and Able sat in their rooms for a long time.

While the two were drowsy, a goblin waiter brought dinner in a dining cart and said to them, "Two guests, His Highness Gilbert has encountered a torrential rain on the way back. It is estimated that he will not be able to return to China until noon tomorrow. You don't have to sit here all the time waiting. Let's have some dinner first. ”

"Did you get a torrential rain?" Kant took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, we'll have dinner." ”

"Okay." The goblin attendant glanced at Bandak, who had been silent, and after a shallow bow, he withdrew from the room.

Able walked over to the dining car and silently put the dishes on the table one by one. Then he sat down beside Kant and said, "Your Majesty, let's eat something first." ”

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

The room was so quiet that the only sound was the silver knives and forks clashing against the dishes.

It didn't take much time to eat, after all, neither of them had much appetite. The waiter who came to clean up the dishes, after seeing most of the dishes left on the plate. didn't disturb the time for the two to be quiet, silently pushed up the dining cart and walked out.

"Gilbert won't be there tonight." Kant spoke.

"Bandakhe," Abel said worriedly.

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

The air in the room became quiet again, and the rain spread from the sky to the bottom of the mountain. The summit is still in the sweltering heat before the rainstorm.

Kant and Bandak's inner restlessness became restless again.

Able got up and opened the window, letting the wind rush in.

"It's so boring to be indoors. Let's go out for a walk. Kant suggested.

"Hmm." Abel agreed. Then the two opened the door and walked out of their room. Wander among the wide palaces.

Raindrops were already falling from the sky, crackling against the stained glass bed.

Able watched as the rain grew heavier, covering Kant to return from the clearing to the eaves. And asked with concern: "Your Highness, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, thanks to you." Kant shook his head lightly and said, "I didn't even get rain." ”

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