Watch as the food is served to the table by the waiters of the inn one after another. Clemmont and Able stood in front of the restaurant and watched: DeWitt was nowhere to be seen.

After receiving the key, the two of them have been sitting in the room and chatting.

From the evening to the present, two or three hours have passed, but only DeWitt's luggage has been seen.

At the end of the conversation, I couldn't help but feel a little strange. He began to ask others about DeWitt's movements, but he heard from the innkeeper that DeWitt had not even returned to his room, and after asking the waiter to carry his luggage upstairs, he went out on his own.

Able leaned against the doorpost of the dining room and sighed, "The two of us are still thinking about how to ask Devit about the operation, and they will act first." ”

"DeWitt was probably worried about not having enough time, so he didn't summon us, so he left first." Clemmont kept his eyes on the door and responded.

"The one who is most concerned about the task is still Devit." Abel said, "We should go with him." ”

"No way, it's hard for us to be there for him all the time." Clemmont shook his head, and after seeing DeWitt's figure, he shouted, "DeWitt! You're back?! ”

DeWitt walked into the dining room, handed his coat to the waiter who was guarding the door, and said to Cremont, "Why haven't you gone to dinner yet?" ”

"I'm waiting for you." Cremont replied, "You're out there in the snow and wind, trying to get information on a mission. We had dinner in a place with a fireplace, which was so unconscionable. ”

DeWitt gave Cremont a funny look and said nothing.

"You've been out there for so long, have you found anything?" Abel asked.

"There are some gains, but the pedestrians on the street are very strict." DeWitt frowned and said, "I only know how to go up the mountain, and the reason for the strange atmosphere in this city. ”

"I also think there are a lot of things different about this town compared to before." Abel said, "What is the information you heard about? ”

Devit whispered, "A civil war has broken out among the goblins, and now the forces in the goblin country are divided into two factions. And the situation is tense, and there is simply no extra manpower to manage this business town. ”

"What?" Clemmont looked a little surprised, although he had predicted that the situation in the goblin country would be more serious, but he didn't expect it to be put on the bright side, and people had time to drill.

"Hmm." Devid's head said, "That's all I know about this. ”

"Gilbert's journey home has been even harder." Cremont's mind conjured up Gilbert's weak figure.

"So, what is the way you said to go up the mountain?" Abel continued.

"It is said that at the behest of various races, a teleportation array was built in the town. Can teleport people to the top of a mountain with mana. If we could take this route, it would greatly reduce the time it would take us to reach the summit. DeWitt explained.

"Teleportation array?" Cremont was curious about something so new.

And Abel, who has been familiar with spells since childhood, did frown and said, "Although there are many traders on this island, it has not yet reached the level of putting into the teleportation array. ”

"Is the consumption of the teleportation array very large?" Cremont asked.

"It's very large, and it not only needs the blessing of a mage, but also a variety of gems for daily maintenance." Abel explains: "The financial resources of this town alone should not be able to support it. ”

"That means there are outside forces behind the scenes to help." "The more complicated the situation on this island, the more likely we are to be involved in the power if we stay here," DeWitt analyzed. ”

"Alas. It's really hard to do. Cremont said.

While the three were distressed, a soldier came out of the side hall and said to them, "Captain DeWitt, Captain Cremont, Captain Able." The soldiers are waiting for you. ”

"Huh?" When DeWitt heard this, he looked strangely at Clemmont and Able.

Crémont said with an embarrassed face, "I forgot..."

A blush appeared on Abel as well.

DeWitt looked at the two of them with a slight reproach, and led the way to the dining hall where the soldiers were.

"I'm sorry, you've been waiting for a long time." Devit beckoned to the soldiers.

"It's okay! Captain. We were going to wait to eat with you. Jeb replied aloud.

"Captain, I heard you've gone on a mission. Why didn't you call us? One soldier said excitedly.

"I'm going to inquire about the news, bring you, how else can I inquire." DeWitt said amusedly, "Okay, let's all sit down and start eating." ”

"Ding Ding Bell—" There was a sound of picking up utensils at the table, and it seemed that everyone was really hungry.

Devitt sipped red wine and talked to the soldiers around him about his plan to use the teleportation array tomorrow.

"Teleportation Array! Sounds amazing! I had never heard of it before. One soldier shouted happily.

"Will the mage teleport us to the top of the mountain? How can it be?! A soldier's face showed a hint of disbelief.

"If you set up a teleportation array, it must be great." Most people are still looking forward to the new experience tomorrow.

Austinger sat in his place, looking around: at last he saw Gilbert coming in from outside.

"Why did you go to the toilet for so long?" Austinger worried, "Did you eat something bad?" ”

"I got lost outside and searched for a long time to find the toilet." Gilbert replied as he climbed into his chair.

"I should have taken you with me if I knew I could." Austinger nodded and said, "Captain Devitt told us that tomorrow we will go and sit in something called the Teleportation Array. Do you know what that is? ”

"I don't know. I've never seen it before. Gilbert picked up the glass of water and said indifferently.

"I heard that it will take us to the mountains in an instant." Austinger said excitedly, "Sounds incredible, right?" ”

"Hmm." Gilbert nodded.

Austinger observed his cold reaction, and although it felt a little strange, he didn't choose to ask. Instead, he talked to Gilbert from time to time during the banquet.

The time for the dinner soon passed, and Abel organized the soldiers to return to their rooms to rest.

Gilbert followed Austinger back to his hotel room.

After some washing, I lay down on the bed in dry pajamas.

As soon as 12 o'clock passed, the lights went out at the hotel, and only the firewood in the fireplace was "crackling".
