Chapter 821: It rained all night

Able was already half drenched, and when he walked back to his room, he left a deep and shallow watermark on the pavement he passed.

"Hurry up and take a shower. It's not good to get a cold. Kant instructed Able as he walked through the door.

"Yes." Able nodded.

They were in such a hurry that they didn't have time to go back to the hotel to pack their bags. I came to the top of the mountain empty-handed. There are also no dry clothes to replace now.

However, Ablel is a spirit who specializes in water-based spells, and the rain that seeps into his cloak is instantly drained after being cast.

Kant watched from the sidelines, and his face couldn't help but show novelty.

"I'm going to take a bath." Able said to Kant.

"Hmm." Kant waved his hand and responded. Then he went back to his bedroom, took off his coat, and lay down on the bed.

The goblin soldiers arranged a room suitable for the human race, and the size of the bed was quite consistent with Kant's body type.

The rain outside the window seemed to have no intention of stopping, and Kant quietly recalled everything that had happened in the past few days, and fell asleep unconsciously, amid the slightly noisy sound of rain.

Able took a cursory soak in the steaming bathroom. I put on close-fitting clothes and walked from the bathroom to the main hall.

Kant didn't appear in sight, and Able glanced up in the direction of Kant's bedroom, and when he saw the closed door, he found a chair to sit down.

The tired spirit was buffered for a while during the bath. Able didn't seem so sleepy either.

The windows of the main hall were still open, and it seemed that the goblin attendants had not returned since they left.

A damp cold wind whipped across Abel cheeks. He looked at the darkness of the night, and thought of the moment when he saw Raphael's cold, pale face on the shore under the same dark night sky.

A feeling of powerlessness spread through his chest, and Able let out a long sigh.

"Bhandak, you must be safe." Able whispered silently.

In the town at the foot of the mountain, the majestic rainwater collects into large and small ponds on the low-lying road. The streets were empty.

Three hours ago, residents rushed out of their buildings after receiving a weather alert, reclaiming quilts and other things that had been hanging on both sides of the street.

The owner of the inn is also directing his staff to go to the top floor of the house, collect all kinds of food, and put them in a dry place.

As a result, the guests have been able to eat a little later.

Bandak listened to the sound of footsteps scurrying outside the door, stood up from the coffee table, and looked out the window at the sky.

After seeing the continuous dark clouds that appeared in the sky, he frowned slightly, and said softly: "Your Majesty and Abel didn't even bring their luggage, so they won't be in any trouble." ”

"Knock knock!" There was a knock on the door.

Bandak walked to the door and opened it. It was the waiter of the inn who appeared in front of him.

"Lord Bandak, I'm sorry. Because now the store is busy preparing for the rain. No work is allowed in the back kitchen. After saluting Bandak, the waiter said, "I have come to inform you that the time of dinner may have to be delayed by about half an hour." ”

"Oh, it's fine." Bandak shook his head unconcernedly and replied simply.

Originally, he didn't plan to eat dinner, and in his eyes, such a briefing really didn't matter. I don't think anyone needs to be on time for dinner.

"Well, as compensation: we'll add a dessert to your guests' menu." The waiter handed over a familiar menu and explained to Bandak: "After the housekeeping of the shop is settled, I will immediately hand over the menu you have remarked to the chef. ”

Bandak scratched his head and said, "It's okay, I'm not going to have dinner tonight." ”

"Huh? Why? The waiter wondered.

"It's embarrassing to say: I don't have much money on me. The money is all on my friends. Bandak snorted and said, "I can't eat overlord food at your place, can I?" ”

"Lord Bandak is a special customer of our hostel. The boss has already explained: the catering and accommodation fees are free. You don't have to worry about that. The waiter tilted his head and explained.

"Premium customer?" Bandak wondered.

"That's true." The waiter smiled and nodded, "Just this morning, Lord Bandak, the moment you defeated the beast tamer, you were the guest of all the inns and restaurants on this street that had to be treated on their knees. It is a pleasure for you to choose to stay with us. ”

Bandak's eyes widened and he looked at the waiter in front of him in disbelief.

After a while, he hesitated: "You mean, if I win Pique, I can eat in the restaurant without spending money?" ”

"Hmm." The waiter nodded and said: "Normally, Pique oppressed everyone miserably, relying on some dealings with the people of the Supervision Department, and no one could beat him, so he did whatever he wanted." Now that he had finally left the street, everyone was overjoyed. The same goes for the owner of our shop. ”

"I see." Bandak held his forehead and said, "I didn't expect that defeating Pique would have this effect." Wait, you said he left? ”

"Hmm. It seems like just a few hours ago. He was seen leaving with his luggage. The waiter said, "And his permanent dwelling has been smashed to pieces by him." I guess I won't be coming back. ”

"Do you know where he went?" Bhandak continued to ask.

"I don't know." The waiter thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Okay." Bandak stood there and pondered.

The waiter saw that Bandak was immersed in thought, and after handing the menu into his hands, he took his leave.

Bandak returned to the main hall of the room with a thick menu in hand.

Casually looking at the menu, his mind filled with imaginations about the possibility of Pique leaving.

"Where will he go?" Bandak asked, rubbing his chin.

Although today he seized the opportunity and pulled back a layer in the battle with Pique. But in Bandak's heart, he wanted to compete with Pique in a dignified manner. Now that the opponent of the appointment has gone, the atmosphere of anxiety has gripped Bandak again.

"Leave him alone." Bandak shook his head and said. Then I concentrated on ordering.

Although he suffered a lot today, having such a reward as compensation still made Bandak's mood much brighter.

The raindrops of beans crashed against the windows of the inn, and Bandak heard a cacophony coming from the lobby on the first floor.

Chapter 822: The Determination to Investigate Alone

The next morning, Gilbert returned to the Goblin Country a little earlier than expected. After hearing the news of the arrival of Kant and Able from the soldiers defending the city, he immediately rushed to the palace.

On the other side, Kant and Able had already had breakfast and were waiting outside the door of the chamber for Gilbert to appear.

"My Excellency, His Highness Gilbert has arrived at the city gates and is now on his way back to the palace." A goblin attendant bypassed the garden and hurried to Kant and Able to report to him.

"Well, we got it. Thank you. Able lifted the waiter to his feet and said to him.

"Let's ask the two adults to sit down in the hall first, lest His Highness Gilbert come down and blame me for not being well entertained." The waiter leads the way to Kant and Abel.

Kant and Able looked at each other, then nodded in response, "Okay, I'm sorry for you, Lord Waiter." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." The waiter lowered his head and said.

The waiter stepped forward and led the two of them to sit down at the guest seats in the hall.

"The two lords will rest for a while, and His Highness Gilbert will come to meet with you later." After saying this, the waiter took a formal leave.

Kant picked up the teacup on the wooden table and took a sip.

In a few moments, Gilbert walked to the door of the palace.

"Abel! And His Royal Highness Kant, how did you get to the mountain? Gilbert untied his brocade robe and sat down in his place. motioned for the two to sit down, and asked.

"Your Highness Gilbert, we heard that you went to the country of the snake woman." Kant spoke.

"Well, I'm going to the Snake Woman Country this time to investigate the shipwreck." Gilbert responded, "You're coming to me for this?" ”

"That's pretty much it." Able explained, "Yesterday after you took the snake girl named Kra away, members of the Dark Side Faction in the town kidnapped Bandak. Now we have completely lost touch with Bandak. ”

"What?" Gilbert's eyes widened, he put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "How dare they kidnap Bandak directly?" ”

"We met an animal trainer at the guild gate, and he offered to talk to us." "There are only a limited number of unions that say 'Ratata' and there is a queue," Abel said. We left Bandak to line up with him, but he turned out to be a member of the Dark Side Order, and after we left, he attacked Bandak. ”

"I see." Gilbert muttered, "They must have some special purpose in kidnapping Bandak at this time. Have you received any messages from each other so far? ”

"Not yet." Kant shook his head and said, "However, we believe that the purpose of this operation of the dark side forces should be to exchange hostages with us. Exchange the bandak for the carat. ”

"Carat?" Gilbert's face immediately turned ugly when he heard Kant say the name.

"By the way, that snake girl should have followed you back to the Goblin Main City, right?" Bandak asked.

"No, she hanged herself. On our way back to bring her. Gilbert explained in a heavy tone, "The snake girl has a great place in her clan. He refuses to admit that he is a member of the Dark Side Organization. The elders of the snake girl clan seemed to trust her. It took me a lot of time to get permission to take her out of the territory. Now that something has happened, there is no way to explain it to the lord of the snake girl clan. ”

After listening to Able's statement, Abel and Kant swallowed everything they wanted to say.

"Gilbert, what are you going to do after that?" Able spoke cautiously.

"It's not yet known," Gilbert responded, taking a sip of his tea, "and it's indispensable to come to the door and apologize in person." I just hope that the snake girl clan will not be estranged from us because of this incident. ”

"Has the news of the snake girl's hanging reached the town?" Kant asked.

"No, I don't." Gilbert shook his head and said, "I don't think the news should be known to the world so quickly. After all, I just sent someone to inform the leader of the snake girl clan about this. Bandak should be safe for now. ”

"I've gathered a group of soldiers and rushed to the island." Kant said: "I hope to give a boost to the forces on the surface when the situation is not so bad." ”

"I'm also surprised that the fighting on the island will involve forces outside the island." Gilbert nodded and said, "I will immediately send someone down the mountain to inform the soldiers at the foot of the mountain and search the town." Hopefully, we can confirm Bandak's safety in the hands of the Dark Side forces within today's time. ”

"Thank you." Kant and Able bowed their heads slightly in thanks.

"Nothing." Gilbert waved his hand and said.

After chatting with business, Gilbert sat down on his throne, looking very tired.

"Your Highness, did you stay up all night and rush back to the city?" Kant glanced at Gilbert and said, "Why don't you go back to the dormitory and rest first?" I'll wait for the two of us to retire first. ”

"Okay then." Gilbert nodded and said, "I will inform you as soon as there is news from the soldiers under the mountain." ”

"Yes." Kant left his seat, bowed slightly, and took Bandak with him.

After leaving the temple, the two returned to their residence.

Until the soldiers down the hill heard the news, it would be impossible for them to leave the Goblin Country.

"If Carat dies, our thread will be broken." Able said to Kant.

"I've always had the feeling that Gilbert should have gotten some definite news from the Serpent Woman, but he just wouldn't tell us." Kant cupped his forehead and said, "It would be strange to say that a high-ranking figure of the Dark Side Organization suddenly chose to hang himself on the way back to the volcano for interrogation by the Goblin Country. ”

Abel listened to Kant's speculation with a look of surprise on his face. After taking a seat beside Kant, he asked him, "Your Highness, can you guess what kind of information Gilbert is withholding?" ”

"I don't know about this yet. It's just a strong premonition in my heart. Kant pondered for a moment and replied.

"I believe what Your Highness said." Able nodded slightly, and said, "I also think that what Gilbert said to us after returning to the city is a little strange. ”

Even if that were the case, Gilbert didn't choose to tell us the clues. We had no choice but to stay where we were. Kant sighed and said.

"Gilbert and I have a bit of a friendship. Why don't I ask him directly and see what he has to say? Able pondered for a moment, then proposed.

Chapter 823: Portraits Plastered Everywhere

Kant nodded slightly and agreed: "This matter is indeed more suitable for you to come forward." However, when you ask him, he still chooses to keep quiet, remember not to force it. ”

"Yes." Able nodded.

In the town at the foot of the volcano, the streets and alleys are plastered with portraits of Bandak after an early afternoon.

After a free lunch at a restaurant around the corner, Bandak returned to the front of the inn where he had stayed.

Spotting an unfamiliar portrait posted in front of the inn, he squeezed into the crowd to get closer.

"Ban... Duck? The toothpick in Bandak's mouth fell on the bluestone brick, and he said in surprise, "Why is my name on the wanted poster?" ”

On this wanted post, Bandak is portrayed as a heinous robber. At the end of the wanted notice, it is clearly written: Ten gold coins will be awarded to the vagrants who helped catch the wanted criminal.

That's a lot of money, isn't it? Bandak covered his face with his hands and fled from the crowd. I walked into the hotel and glanced at the guests resting in the lobby. Quickened his pace and rushed to the second floor. However, on the way, he was stopped by the owner of the inn.

"Lord Bandak!" The innkeeper called out with joy on his face.

"There's... Can I help you? Bandak froze and asked weakly.

"The goblin soldiers are waiting for you in the upstairs room, and I'm looking for you everywhere." The innkeeper said with a smile.

Bandak stared at the innkeeper for a moment with a puzzled expression, and then said, "I know they're looking for me, but I'm now... Not very convenient..."

"Are you in a hurry?" The innkeeper asked curiously, "These soldiers have come to pick you up." ”

“... Is it? Bandak smiled awkwardly.

"Come with me. The soldiers are upstairs eating snacks and waiting for you. The innkeeper greeted with a smile.

"No, no, no." Bandak declined the innkeeper's invitation, explaining, "I'd like to go back to my bedroom first." ”

"It's okay. I've asked the guy to pack your bags. The innkeeper was stunned, and after thinking for a while, he explained with a smile: "When you finish talking with the soldiers, the luggage will be brought to you by the guys." Ascend the mountain with you. ”

"Up the mountain?" Bandak asked in surprise as he pondered the innkeeper's words.

"Yes, weren't these goblin soldiers sent by Lord Kant and Lord Able to pick you up the mountain?" The innkeeper said, "The noble palace of the Goblin Country is much more comfortable than our broken inn. ”

After listening to the explanation, Bandak took a deep breath and put his mind at ease. He read softly: "It turns out that His Highness Kant and they went to the Goblin Country." ”

"Master Bandak, what are you muttering?" The innkeeper asked, looking at Bandak.

"Nothing." Bandak smiled, waved his hand, and said, "The streets are full of wanted notices about me, and I thought that these goblin soldiers had some misunderstanding and came to arrest me." ”

"Why, this kind of search method is also more commonly used in this town." The innkeeper shook his head and said, "I heard from the goblin lords who picked you up that Master Kant and Master Able thought you had been taken away by the animal trainer who used to live on the corner of the street. I asked His Highness Gilbert to help me search for you in the city. When they came to interrogate me this morning, I was also taken aback. ”

"I see." Bandak sighed in his heart: Fortunately, it was just a misunderstanding. Since arriving on this small island, Calradia and his party have been plagued by disasters. Bandak was always worried about whether he would be plotted by the forces of the dark side again.

"Hmm. Now that the explanation is clear, Lord Bandak can safely go with me and meet with the goblin adults. The innkeeper asked.

"Of course." Bandak followed in the footsteps of the innkeeper and made his way up to the second floor. Stop in front of the door of one of the rooms on the left.

"Lord Bandak, please come in." The innkeeper stood in front of Bandak, opened the door, and turned back to him.

"Hmm." Bandak walked into the room and saw six goblin soldiers sitting around the dining table. One of the goblin soldiers was stunned for a moment when he saw Bandak's face, and immediately stood up and greeted, "Hello, Lord Bandak from Calradia. We are goblin soldiers patrolling the city, and Lord Gilbert has ordered us to find you in the town and take you back to the goblin country. ”

"Hello." Bandak politely replied, "I saw the wanted notice downstairs, but I didn't expect Gilbert to send you to me." ”

"Listen to the homeless people on this street, you got rid of the local devil beast trainer." Another goblin soldier stood up and said to Bandak, "Beat him to the ground and force him out of the town." ”

"Well," Bandak explained embarrassedly, "I don't really know why he left..."

"Lord Bandak, don't be modest, your battle with the beast tamer Pico can be regarded as a benefit to our goblin soldiers who maintain law and order." A goblin soldier spoke, "The neighborhood used to be in trouble because of that kid. ”

"Okay. Then I can be regarded as doing a good deed. Bandak took a deep breath and said with a smile raised.

"Hmm." The goblin soldier nodded.

"Lord Bandak, your luggage has arrived." A familiar waiter knocked on the door and walked into the room with his duffel bag on his shoulder.

"Thank you." Bandak nodded.

"Then I'll step back first." The waiter glanced at several goblin soldiers, bowed, and said.

Bandak didn't talk any further to the goblin soldiers, and said, "I heard that some of them came to pick me up the mountain. In fact, a few days ago, I heard that His Royal Highness Kant and Able climbed the teleportation array and climbed the mountain, and I also wanted to go to the mountain to find them. He Nai is shy in his pocket..."

"Lord Bandak, don't worry about that." One of the goblin soldiers shook his head and said, "The problem you said, we will naturally solve it for you." The teleportation array has been supervised by us for the last two years, and there is no cost for us to escort you up the mountain. ”

"Thank you so much." Bandak thanked him gratefully. But soon his face darkened again, and he spoke to the goblin soldier in embarrassment: "Then, I have one more request..."

"What?" The goblin soldier asked curiously.

"Can you or the other patrolling soldiers please remove the wanted notices posted on the streets?" Bandak hesitated, "After all, that portrait doesn't bear much resemblance to me. I don't want to be misunderstood. ”

Chapter 824: The longing for reunion after a long absence

"I see." The goblin soldier nodded in realization, "We'll do that for you." Please don't worry, Lord Bandak. ”

"Thank you, thank you." Bandak shook the hand of one of the goblin soldiers and said heartily.

"But the most important task now is to escort Lord Bandak to the Goblin Country." A goblin soldier who looked like a leader stepped forward and said to Bandak, "Without further ado, let's go at once." Don't let His Highness Kant and His Highness Gilbert wait. ”

"Okay." Bandak nodded, then picked up his luggage with one hand and set off with the soldiers.

A carriage had been parked in front of the inn, and the man sitting in the driver's seat was also a goblin soldier in armor.

"Lord Bandak, please get into the carriage." A goblin soldier instructed.

"Hmm." Bandak obediently stepped onto the ladder that the coachman had set up for him and stepped into the carriage.

Six goblin soldiers stood in two columns on either side of the carriage, sprinting through the street as the carriage moved.

Holding the luggage in his arms, Bandak looked out the window: he noticed that each goblin soldier was walking extremely fast, almost walking against the carriage, and with a relaxed expression.

"That's amazing." Bandak lamented.

Thinking back to that day, Pique's active skills were completely different from the appearance of the goblin soldiers.

Thinking of this, Bandak shouted at the goblin soldiers outside the car window, "Warrior, do you know where that animal trainer has gone?" ”

"I heard that I walked out of the town, but we still don't know exactly where I went." The goblin soldier turned his head and responded.

"Okay, thank you." Bandak nodded and said.

"It's fine."

Bandak put down the curtain of the curtain, and thought to himself: this kid has already walked out of the town, and he has escaped too far. It seems that during this time on the island, I will not see him.

After traveling for half an hour, the carriage arrived at the stronghold where the teleportation array was placed.

It was the first time for Bandak to ride this thing, and his face was full of novelty. After teleporting up the mountain in an instant, he said in amazement: "This is really a good thing, I wonder if I can apply to His Majesty Kant to build one in Calradia as well." In this way, it became convenient for Derik to return to Decherim. ”

"Huh." A soldier watched Bandak's expression change and said with a smile, "The Terrans probably don't store a lot of magic stones." That's the foundation for building a teleportation array. ”

"Is the Philosopher's Stone hard to find?" Bandak asked strangely when he heard an unfamiliar term.

The goblin soldier waved his hand in a panic and said, "As long as your country is interested, it should not be difficult to find." It's just that this teleportation array not only needs a large number of magic stones, but also needs the blessing of a magician with a certain degree of cultivation when activating the formation. ”

When Bandak heard this, he remembered in his mind the old magician he had seen in the stronghold at the foot of the mountain. Although Bandak didn't know about spells, when he approached the magician, he still felt the effect of the other party's powerful spiritual power on him.

"It seems that the construction of the teleportation array is indeed very difficult." Bandak nodded lightly and said.

The group walked along the carved mountain path, and after an hour's trek, they finally arrived at the gate of the Goblin Country.

Looking at the towering tower, Bandak spoke, "I didn't expect the territory of the goblin clan to be like this. ”

"We don't have the magic skills of the gnomes, so we can only build buildings like this." A goblin soldier replied casually.

"It looks good." Bandak said softly, "By the way, His Highness Kant, do they know that you are going to bring me back?" ”

"Not really." The goblin soldier hid his embarrassment and replied, "Only the soldiers at the foot of the mountain now know that Master Bandak has been found by us. ”

"That's fine." Bandak said indifferently, "Lest the dark side forces come to the door." ”

"If those people dare to come to the gates of the goblin country and shout, then they will not be able to get good fruit to eat." A goblin soldier said viciously.

"Huh." Bandak chuckled softly, noncommittal.

When the soldiers at the city gate saw Bhandak, they immediately opened the city gate and sent someone to the palace to report the news.

Bandak got into the carriage prepared by the soldiers and hurried to the palace without a moment's delay.

Thinking of seeing Kant and Abel soon, Bandak couldn't help but look out the window from time to time. I hope to be able to get to my destination sooner.

"Phew—" The goblin soldier stopped in the carriage and said to Bandak, "My lord, we are at the palace. ”

"Okay." Bandak nodded. Packed up his luggage and stepped out of the carriage.

Kant and Able stood outside the palace gate early and waited for Bandak's arrival, and when they heard that Bandak had arrived outside the city gate, they both looked incredulous and then very happy.

At this moment, when he saw Bandak get out of the carriage, he excitedly stepped forward and hugged him.

Caught off guard by the hug between the two, Bandak staggered to put down the duffel bag in his hand.

"Bendak, I thought you were being tortured by the Dark Side forces." Able let go first, patted Bandak on the shoulder, and said.

"It's fine. I'm fine now. Bandak explained with a smile, "That kid named Pique put worm Gu on me, but he didn't expect me to be able to seal my veins and escape from his bondage. On the morning of your ascent to the mountain, I went back to the hotel. ”

"It's okay." Kant nodded at Bandak and said, "Did you get rid of that beast trainer named Pique?" ”

"Nope." Bandak shook his head and said, "After I forced him to hand over the antidote, I didn't pay attention to him again. He was badly injured by me, and now he seems to have left the town. ”

"I see." Kant nodded and said nothing.

"You've got a lot of injuries on your body, too." Able asked with concern, "When we rushed over that day, we heard from the onlookers-by that the beast tamer summoned you into the brick wall, and you fainted on the spot. ”

"Hmm. The cheetah's size suddenly increased several times, and the attack from behind was indeed quite difficult. Bandak recalled the pain at that time, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back.

"Did you rub the medicine?" Kant spoke.

"Hmm. The innkeeper prepared some medicine for me. Bandak nodded.

"Did that beast tamer talk to you about anything during the battle?" Able's eyes lit up and he asked.
