Chapter 849: Chat after dinner

"In short, in the future, don't entrust your business to him." Kant confessed.

“... Be. Bandak and Abel glanced at each other, and could only respond helplessly.

Whatever one may say, they don't change their minds about Philip because of a small thing. Just because that's what Kant told them. They also had to agree to come down.

After a quiet dinner, Kant prepared to leave.

"Your Majesty, won't you say a few words to the soldiers?" Bandak quickly put down the fork and said in a loud voice.

"When I toasted before, I had already finished speaking." Kant smiled slightly and said, "Later, you two will go and talk to the soldiers a few more words." ”

"Ah, I see." Remembering the time he was absent from Abel, Bandak suddenly realized, "Alright then, we'll take care of the rest." ”

"Hmm." Kant nodded slightly, then turned to leave.

Bandak's appetite was always heavy, leaving Abel speechless, who had been sitting and waiting for him to finish his meal. He said, "Commander, the soldiers are waiting for you to speak." If you continue to eat like this, you'll have to serve supper to the soldiers in the cafeteria. ”

Bandak looked up from the stacked plates and retorted, "Don't talk nonsense. ”

"I'm not talking nonsense," Abel said, pouting, "don't you see that the soldiers are all waiting for you?" ”

Bandak looked around and saw that most of the soldiers had put down their knives and forks and were paying attention to the movement of their tables. When Bandak's gaze moved to them, he looked very cramped.

"Brother Bandak," Kerry said hesitantly, pursing his lips.

"Kerry," Bandak's cheeks flushed, and he said ashamedly, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting." ”

"It's fine." Carrey responded.

"I've had my fill, let's call the soldiers over and start the rally." Bandak picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth before he said to Abel.

"Meet here?" Abel asked, surprised.

"Yes, the soldiers are here for dinner." Bandak said with a strange expression, "Just let them talk to us here and go back to their rooms to rest." ”

"You have this plan, you said it earlier." Able shook his head and said, "What are we waiting for you to say?" Okay, if you don't have enough to eat, you can keep eating. I say to the soldiers. ”

"You—" Bandak said as he looked at the back of Able as he got up and left.

"Everyone! Put the chairs next to each other. Let's just talk a few words today. Abel beckoned to the long-awaited soldiers.

"Yes." The soldiers moved the table away, leaving an open space. All their chairs were lined up side by side.

"How long are we going to stay in this town, Lord Abel?" After Able took his seat in the front chair, an elven soldier stood up and asked.

"Don't stand up, just sit and raise your hand." Abel waved his hand and motioned for the soldier to sit down, then responded, "We can't leave the town until the task at hand is completed." Do you know what the mission is? ”

"Avenge General DeWitt and General Cremont." One of the Calradia replied in a loud voice.

"Yes," Abel nodded slightly, "but this task needs to be carried out step by step. We stayed in this town to take our first steps. ”

"Lord Able, what did you say about the first step?" A soldier asked.

"Well, by your leader, Kerry. to explain it to you. Able raised his hand and motioned for Carey to walk over to him, and introduced, "He's the captain you've elected from within, right?" I don't remember mentioning the leader of the tour for you before I left. ”

"Yes," replied one soldier in the front row, "Carey is the leader of all of us." ”

"Well, he's going to be the commander of this operation." Able turned to Kerry and said, "Kerry, tell me about it." The contents of this operation. ”

Kerry pursed his lips and nodded. Looking at all the soldiers, he said, "Your Majesty, they have found a member of the Dark Side Organization in the town, and he is carrying vital information. Although he had left the town a few days earlier. But the remnants of his party are still in ambush in the city, and we will keep a close eye on what is going on in the city in the next few days. Find out where the member of the Order has fled. ”

"Yes." The soldiers immediately responded.

"Well," Abel added, "but we have very limited sources. I can't know exactly who the members are who are connected with Pique on weekdays, so I can only rely on you to stay at the news gathering place in the city and find out the news all day long. ”

"From tomorrow onwards, everyone's schedule will be very intense. However, the goblins and gnomes have agreed to help us. So I am confident that there will be new progress in this task soon. In the meantime, I can only work hard for everyone. Bandak walked over to Kerry's side and said to the soldiers.

"Go all out!" The soldiers raised their hands in response.

"All right," said Abel, nodding with satisfaction, "let's tell you how you've been doing your journey from the coast." How did you get on the boat? ”

"The soldiers of the dragon clan have arranged a boat for us to sail to the coast to pick us up." Carey found himself a seat in the crowd and replied as he sat down.

"What about the crew on board? Are they also nomads of the Dragons? Bandak asked, leaning back in his chair.

"No, it's a Kraken." One of Calradia responded, "The dragons beckoned us to board the ship and flew away. The ship's crew didn't pay any attention to us after taking us into the cabin. ”

Able remembered that when he returned to the harbor with Devit and the others, the ship he was on was also operated by the Kraken. Hesitantly, he asked the elven soldiers, "Is it the ship we were on a month ago?" ”

"Yes." An elven soldier responded, "The furnishings of the cabin are exactly the same. ”

"I didn't expect such a private ship to have a relationship with the dragons." Able muttered silently.

"Have you ever been on this ship before?" Bandak asked curiously.

"Hmm." Able nodded, "After rescuing the gnomes, we took this ship back to the harbor. DeWitt and Cremont were still there. The quality of that ship was not very good, it seemed to be many years old. ”

Chapter 850: The Soldier's Mission

"Did you have any trouble on the boat?" Bandak asked the soldiers worriedly.

"Nope." Kerry shook his head and said, "Although the crew doesn't pay much attention to us, they usually take some care of us in terms of food. ”

"Well, that's good." Bandak nodded.

The group began to talk about their own experiences, and Bandak retained the fact that he had been tricked as he talked about his experience in the town.

"That member of the Dark Side actually fought Lord Bandak?" One soldier exclaimed.

"Well, Peake is an extremely dangerous man." "Your job is to search for messages and keep track of the movements of the people you've locked," Bandak said. Don't take the initiative to fight Pique. ”

"Yes." The soldiers replied.

"Alright, it's not too early." Able glanced up at the clock on the wall and told the soldiers, "Go back to your room and rest, and tomorrow will begin." ”

"Yes." The soldiers put the dining chairs and tables back in their places, walked up to Bandak and the others in groups, said goodbye to them, and left the dining room.

"Let's go back and rest." After seeing Kerry off, Bandak turned to Abel and said.

"You can't, you still have to drink medicine." Able glanced at Bandak and reminded, "I've already handed over the potion to the clerk in the back kitchen, and now the potion should be ready." ”

"By the way, I almost forgot about it." Bandak patted his head and responded, "Thank you, when did you give the potion to the clerk?" ”

"While you're still changing your clothes." Abel said, "It's just a small thing, it's important that you get to drink the medicine now." Brother, don't forget that you have a countdown bomb in your body. ”

"Okay." Bandak smiled and nodded, "Then I'll go to the kitchen first." ”

"Hmm." Able walked a little longer and turned to him and nodded. After seeing Bandak turn around and go downstairs, he walked to the door of the guest room. Raised his hand and knocked softly on the door.

"Who?" Kant's voice reached Able through the crack in the door.

"Your Highness, I am Abel." Able responded.

"Wait a minute." Kant walked slowly to the entrance and unlocked the door. After seeing that the person standing outside the door was indeed Able, he turned back to his previous position with trust and asked Able, "What about Bandak?" ”

"He guesses he's drinking medicine at the café in the lobby right now." Abel replied.

"Hmm." Kant nodded and said, "This matter depends on you reminding him, otherwise with his memory, there is almost no possibility of taking medicine on time." ”

"Your Highness really knows the Commander too well." Able laughed and walked to Kant's side: "Your Highness, why haven't you gone back to your room to rest?" ”

"I'm pretty much rested today." Kant shook his head and said, "There is still a lot to do tomorrow, and I have to prepare in advance." By the way, did you tell the soldiers what the next task is? ”

"Well, I said something roughly." Able nodded, "They have now gone back to their rooms to rest, presumably to save their strength for tomorrow's mission." ”

"Well, you should rest early, too. It's been a long day out and about. When Kant heard Abel's answer, he bowed his head in peace of mind and asked.

"Your Highness, you should rest early." Abel didn't bother Kant with any more about what he was preparing, but left a word of advice and turned and walked into his bedroom.

After hearing the door of the bedroom closing, Kant put down his pen and ink and quietly thought about something.

After a while, Bandak also walked outside the door, and after Kant heard the familiar cough that belonged to him, he consciously stood up and walked to the door to open the door for the other party.

"Your Highness, why are you still in the main hall?" Bandak asked suspiciously as he walked through the door.

"I can't sleep, so I plan to take this time to sort out the news in my hand. After all, you're going to start your mission in town tomorrow. Kant made himself a pot of hot tea, and when he returned to the table with the teapot, he replied.

"It's really hard work, Your Highness." Bandak sat down at the tea table and said, "Is there any place where I can help?" ”

Kant looked up at him with a smile and said, "You just have to worry about whether you can afford to spend it on the street tomorrow." I'm just going to do a little tidying up. ”

"I've heard Abel say that sometimes he'll see you working late into the night." Bandak asked worriedly, "Your Highness, we are worried about your body. ”

"It's fine." Kant pointed to his chest and said, "If my body can't hold on, it will tell me." ”

"Hmm." Bandak nodded silently, his eyes revealing uncontrollable worry.

"Alright, don't sit here with me. Let's go back to the house and rest. Kant said, "Aren't you drinking medicine now?" The effect of the drug will also fluctuate according to the body's work and rest rules. You have to pay more attention to this. ”

"Yes." Bandak savored the bitter taste of the potion, and said, "However, this medicine is really bitter. I almost couldn't swallow it. ”

"In order to survive, many people suffer much more bitterly than these medicines." Immanuel Kant instructed: "You must not delay, you must take your medicine on time every day." I'll let Abel oversee you. ”

"Yes." Bhandak smiled slightly: "Then I won't disturb Your Majesty to deal with your business." ”

"Hmm." Kant didn't raise his head, nodding gently in response.

After Bandak left, the information in his hand was almost sorted out by Kant. Kant walked to the window of the main hall and looked downstairs at the streetscape: the gateway to this street was mostly self-employed inns. There aren't many merchants and homeless people wandering the streets. Besides, it was already close to the early hours of the morning, and most of them were still back in their temporary hotels.

Kant glanced up at the volcano in the distance, and from his point of view, the whole volcano looked like it was in his eyes.

In contrast to the dark streets of the town, the halfway point of the volcano is always lit up in the middle of the night. And the goblin country is not in that light, their territory is in the south of the mountain, standing on the territory at the foot of the mountain, it is impossible to observe the movement of the goblin clan.

Kant stood in front of the window for a long time. When a gust of cold wind came, he wrapped his cotton robe tightly.

The evening breeze in the early spring night is still a little cold. Kant sank his eyes, extinguished the candlestick, and walked back to his bedroom.

Chapter 851: The innkeeper's invitation

The next morning, Abel and Bandak woke up early. Responsible for waking up the rest of the soldiers.

After washing, Bandak rushed out of the door of the guest room, found the room where the soldiers lived, and knocked on the door.

Abel fell behind him, picked up the summary table that Kant had placed on the tea table the night before, and walked out the door.

Kant was still asleep until two hours later, when a waiter walked up to the door of the guest room and knocked hard.

"Who?" Kant was suddenly woken up from his sleep, and his mood couldn't help but become a little more impatient. After getting up, he walked to the entrance and stopped, and asked in a somewhat impatient tone.

"Kang... Lord Kant? The waiter stood outside the door and replied timidly, "There is a letter from the Goblin Country." ”

"Oh." When Kant heard the word 'goblin', he immediately cheered up. He opened the door and held out his hand to the waiter, saying, "Give it to me." ”

"Yes." The waiter carefully took the letter that had just arrived in both hands and replied.

"Thank you for your hard work." Kant glanced down at the address written on the surface of the envelope and said to the waiter.

"It's okay," the waiter asked hesitantly, "Kang... Mr. Kant, do I need to prepare breakfast for you? Although, it's almost noon now..."

"No, I'll go downstairs for lunch later." Kant was anxious to check the contents of the letter, so he said goodbye to the waiter: "Please go slowly. ”

"Okay...", the waiter was greeted with a "bang!" in front of him when he saw the door of the guest room. After the ground was shut, he replied softly.

As Kant walked back to the main hall, he glanced at the clock hanging in the hallway: it was indeed twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

Tearing open the envelope with his bare hands, and after a cursory reading of what Gilbert had replied to in the letter, Kant finally breathed a sigh of relief and went to the bathroom to begin to wash.

Gilbert's reaction was the same as what Kant had pre-selected in his mind: he promised that he would arrange for the soldiers in the city to assist Kant and the others in spying on them, and that he would pay more attention to the news coming out of the surveillance center.

The fact that the trainer was involved with the insiders of the Inspectorate seemed to surprise Gilbert. So I wrote about this in the letter.

After washing his face, Kant took the letter from Gilbert into his bosom, walked out of the room, and went to the dining room to eat.

The restaurant's service is divided into à la carte and self-service pick-up.

Kant walked to the ordering area and called the waiter to record the menu. After that, I chose a place by the window and waited quietly.

It was still an hour or two before lunch, and there were only a few people in the huge restaurant. Each occupies a better table.

Kant didn't like to eat in front of strangers. So I walked over to the empty table and sat down. Looking at the scenery on the horizon, passing the time before lunch.

I don't know when, only one person at the table, there is another person.

Kant frowned slightly, and looked at the orc sitting across from him: he noticed that this person was somewhat familiar, and when the other party spoke, he immediately recognized the identity of the other party.

"What a coincidence, Lord Kant." The innkeeper smiled and said, "When I walked into this restaurant, I noticed that you were there. I wondered if I could have lunch with you. ”

"Absolutely." Kant replied with a smile: "After all, it is rare to see the boss in the hotel. ”

"What's so rare about this?" The innkeeper waved his hand with a smile and asked, "Lord Kant, why are you alone?" What about Lord Bandak and Master Abel? ”

"They're out on business." Kant replied briefly.

"I heard that Your Highness, you have brought a lot of business to our hotel." The inn changed the subject and continued: "The environment of our inn can only be regarded as acceptable, you can rest assured and arrange for the soldiers to be stationed. It's really an honor for us. ”

"This is also because the environment of the hotel is really good." Kant said: "Besides, I still want to be close to the soldiers. ”

"Hmm." The innkeeper said: "I've been busy these days, and it's a pity that Philip is greeting a few people on my behalf." ”

"Nothing." Kant looked into the semi-open kitchen, his steak sizzling in the pot.

"Lord Kant, do you have any arrangements for today?" The innkeeper glanced at Kant's face and suggested, "It just so happens that I have free time, so I can take you to the city for a walk." ”

"Is that so?" Kant turned his gaze back to the innkeeper and asked unexpectedly, "If the boss is willing to be your guide, I will be very happy." ”

"Then let's talk about it." The innkeeper grinned and said, "We'll leave after we've finished our meal." ”

"Okay." Kant nodded in agreement, "Thank you for your attention." ”

It didn't take long for Kant's steak set to be served on the table. The innkeeper instructed the waiter to go to the wine cellar and fetch a bottle of wine.

Talking with Kant while drinking and eating.

At the end of lunch, Kant noticed that the innkeeper had been in control of the rhythm of the table. Such a trait is very common in businessmen. Since Kant's birth, he has dealt with countless businessmen, and he has become familiar with their set of processes.

"Master Kant, let's go." After taking the last sip of his wine, the innkeeper suggested to Kant.

"But don't you want to rest for a while?" Kant said worriedly.

He had been sitting idle for a while while he waited for the innkeeper. If the innkeeper plans to leave the table immediately after dinner, the exercise after the meal may put a burden on his body.

"Your Excellency, you don't have to worry." The innkeeper said understandingly: "My stomach has long been poured out by the meals of all these years. Making the most of your time is much more important than that. ”

"Okay then." Kant did not continue to persuade with reason, but agreed with the innkeeper's approach and nodded.

The two walked outside the inn door and got into the innkeeper's carriage.

"It's not a big town, but there's a lot to visit." The innkeeper sat in the carriage and introduced to Kant: "With this carriage today, I can take Your Highness around. ”

"What's interesting about what you're talking about?" Kant asked.

"It depends on your hobbies. If it comes to the place that fits the identity of His Royal Highness Kant. The innkeeper said, "There are only three or four, first of all, I will take your Highness to the memorial hall in the city." The town's historical treasures are hidden there. ”

"Historical treasures?" Kant asked in surprise when he heard this.

Chapter 852: The Realm Where God Has Descended

"Yes, the history of this town is not very long." Seeing that Kant was interested, the innkeeper explained in detail: "But because there are vagrants of all races, the legends created in a few hundred years are rich enough. ”

"Well," Kant nodded, "I do have some interest in this, boss, you must have a good eye." ”

"Hehe," the innkeeper said with a smile, "It's not a good eye, but this pavilion is really worth seeing." And the newcomers who have just arrived on the island are not very familiar with this part, so I want to introduce it to Your Highness. ”

"Thank you for the invitation." Kant replied politely.

The innkeeper told the driver the address of his destination before getting into the car. After an hour and a half of continuous advance, the carriage stopped in front of a magnificent building.

During this time, Kant kept looking out the window and saw many familiar faces in the army. It was discovered that the observation of Calradia and the Elves was already active. It wasn't until the people on both sides of the road became more and more sparse that he looked away.

"Your Highness, we have arrived." The innkeeper said to Kant.

Kant nodded, followed the innkeeper, and stepped out of the carriage. With the groom in hand, he got out of the carriage.

At first glance, Kant thought he was in front of a classical palace.

"This is the most valuable building in the town, because of the huge amount of work, it was not built with the commercial area." The innkeeper led Kant into the halls of the building, and introduced him: "Moreover, his most valuable thing is not in the appearance we have seen before, or in the interior decoration. ”

"So what's it?" Kant looked at the innkeeper's face and asked curiously.

The innkeeper mysteriously pointed to the marble floor beneath their feet and said, "The most valuable thing is in the basement of this pavilion." The rarest treasures in the pavilion are sealed and kept in the basement. In the exhibition hall on this ground, all we can see is illusory images and some data. ”

"Is the basement off-limits to sightseeing?" Kant continued.

"Hmm." The innkeeper replied, "Only the leaders of the dwarves, gnomes, and goblins have the right to enter and exit. This is a contract that was made hundreds of years ago. However, the exhibits on the ground are enough for us to enjoy. Some people have made studying the history of the island their main business, and they have spent most of their lives in this exhibition hall, but they have not been able to learn all aspects of the past of these objects. ”

The innkeeper walked in front of Kant and showed him the process of sightseeing in the pavilion.

"When this pavilion was first built, what kind of place was it used for?" Kant placed his hand in front of a transparent glass case according to the method taught by the innkeeper, and the image of a suspended object appeared in front of his eyes, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a jade flute. The words that emerged from Yu Xiao's side recorded the history of such a ritual in detail.

"Well." The innkeeper thought for a moment and said, "There are many theories circulating on the island, the most common of which is that this stadium was originally built as a habitat for the gods. This comes from the mouths of the angels, so the credibility is much stronger than that of other schools. Everyone regards this as the orthodox origin of the pavilion. ”

"God?" Kant looked at the innkeeper suspiciously, and the emotion in his eyes seemed to confirm to him that the God he spoke of was the kind of being mentioned in common sense.

"Yes." The innkeeper nodded hurriedly and said, "It's a god." I heard that Thor, the god of the earth, and Frey, the god of peace, have both been here. ”

"You... How do you know? Kant tried to comprehend the truth of the innkeeper's mouth, and hesitated.

"The old people who have seen the gods said it, but that was the story of more than 200 years ago." The innkeeper recalled, saying, "The scene was also recorded on canvas. An image of that painting can be seen in the secondary hall. ”

"Can you take me to see it?" Kant asked.

"Absolutely." The innkeeper readily agreed, "Since you have come to the exhibition hall, you must take a look at it no matter what." ”

"Thank you." After thanking him, Kant followed the innkeeper and walked to another exhibition hall next to the main hall.

"Look." When the innkeeper entered the side hall, he activated the video switch with his hand.

A huge magic array appeared in front of the two of them, and the light in the entire room was sucked away in an instant.

The room was pitch black, and the circle in mid-air began to rotate slowly, Kant took a deep breath and quietly waited for the image to appear.

"Uhh

Kant's vision brightened, and a huge picture scroll appeared in front of him.

"It's beautiful." Kant looked at the figure depicted in the picture and couldn't help but sigh.

The golden light emitted by the scroll covered his entire body, and Kant felt that his mind suddenly became clear, and was illuminated with golden light. A warm sensation hits the whole body.

Although the scroll only depicts Thor eating, the curves that outline Thor are fascinated by anyone who sees it.

The innkeeper standing on the side was also immersed in the scroll.

The two stayed in the side hall for half an hour before reluctantly leaving.

When he closed the door, Kant said regretfully: "If you can see the appearance of the gods in person, you can be regarded as having no regrets in this life." ”

For a person who has no religious beliefs to say such a thing, it proves that Kant has been drawn into the scene just now.

"It's just a pity, that was the only time a god came down on this land." The innkeeper shook his head and sighed.

"Hmm." Kant nodded, "It's a pity. ”

"Maybe I really shouldn't have brought your majesty to see this scene so early." The innkeeper said with hindsight: "Now the only place in the hall that can still attract Your Majesty is probably only one place." ”

"What?" Kant was now immersed in the beauty of the scroll, and after listening to the innkeeper's words, he looked up and asked.

"Please come with me." The innkeeper said mysteriously.

Kant looked puzzled as he followed the innkeeper along the carpet of the main hall to the end of the pavilion.

At the end of the pavilion is an altar on which three huge hedrons stand. Just by looking at it, you can see that it is a cheap alternative.
