It's just that the two of them turned Claremont's package upside down and couldn't find the legendary illustrated book.
"I can't find it, what should I do?" Abel asked Claremont while shaking off the ash from his body.
"I can't help it." Claremont sat on the ground dejectedly, and said distressedly, "How did I drop that book?"
"Did you clean it up?" Abel asked sideways, frowning.
"No way." Claremont raised his chin and thought about it for a while: "I did clean it up once when I arrived in the Elven Kingdom, but this book is so rare, how could I throw it away too."
"It must have been caught somewhere by you and thrown away together." Abel curled his lips and said, "Looking at your pile of books, it looks like you have never classified them."
"Yeah." Claremont lowered his head a little remorsefully.
"Don't worry, how high can this goblin's status be? Even if it is related to our mission, haven't we always arranged for someone to take care of him?" Abel comforted.
"I don't know why, but I still don't know the bottom line." Claremont said, clutching his chest.
"Thinking too much." Abel shook his head, got up and patted the dust on his trousers, and said, "Then I'll go back first. You also remember to rest early."
"Well. I won't send you off." Claremont nodded.
Abel then lifted his feet and walked out of the tent.
After watching him leave, Claremont sat down at his desk, took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and while recalling the tattoo on Gilbert's chest that he had seen a few days ago, he drew it on the paper.
"Maybe this will be useful." Claremont read silently.
After this was done, it was late at night. Claremont closed his eyes tiredly, sat down on his bed, closed his clothes and lay down.
Except for the footsteps of soldiers patrolling around, everything in the barracks was quiet.
The next morning, Austiner woke up Gilbert who was still asleep, took him to wash up, and went to have breakfast together.
The remaining steak from last night was brought to the back kitchen by Austin and asked to be heated. Thinking of this as Gilbert's breakfast.
"You're going to take everyone for a run again today. You should eat more. After all, you are so weak." Austin told Gilbert while waiting for the chef to bring out the heated steak .
"Yeah." Gilbert nodded, and couldn't help swallowing after smelling the smell of meat wafting from the pot.
"Okay, yours." The kitchen soldier put the steaming steak on a plate and brought it out: "Fortunately, the weather is not freezing right now. If your steak was left overnight earlier, probably There are bugs in there."
"I know that." Austin said with a smile all over his face, "Thank you, I will definitely compensate you someday."
"Don't change the day, let's just do it today." The chef shook his head, looked down at Gilbert through the half-meter-high stove and said, "Boy, you should lead the way today? Run slowly, we all carry a It's too much for the big iron pot to chase after him."
"Wow~" Gilbert exclaimed in surprise when he saw the steak in Austiner's hand. Then he smiled happily and nodded to the soldiers in the kitchen: "Okay!"
"Good boy." The soldier in the back kitchen showed a gratified smile, and then turned back to the back kitchen to have breakfast.
"You must do what you promise to others. Come on, let's sit and eat over there." Austiner took the hot plate for himself, and asked Gilbert to bring his own vegetable cake and polenta.
The two walked to a corner of the campsite and sat down. As soon as they put down the dinner plate, Gilbert was in a hurry to get the steak.
"Don't worry, this is something to eat." Austin quickly pressed his hand and said, pointing to the water bottle beside him: "Drink some water first."
While Gilbert turned sideways to drink water, Austin cut the steak on the plate into pieces.
"Okay, you can start eating." Austin passed the knife and fork in Gilbert's hand with satisfaction.
"Thank you." Gilbert said softly, and then began to enjoy his breakfast happily.
Austiner sat aside, eating a vegetable pie while watching Gilbert eat. Silently monologue in my heart: Gilbert is really becoming more and more human.
At the end of the breakfast time, DeWitt brought Claremont, Abel and others to the dinner table of Gilbert and Austin. Said to Gilbert: "Yesterday the pace of advance was too fast for many soldiers. Can you walk more slowly today?"
"Yeah." Gilbert was drinking water 'grumbling'. After hearing DeWitt's question, he squeezed out a word to respond.
"Will we have a chance to get out of the plain of the snake girl today?" Claremont continued to ask.
Gilbert nodded in the affirmative.
"I'll follow you today, and remember to find out where you are when you stand in line later," Abel urged.
Gilbert looked up at him and said, "Okay."
The three left the table, walked to the center of the camp, gathered the soldiers who had finished their breakfast, and cleaned up the utensils for building the camp.
"I have to hurry over too." Austin stared at the backs of the three, and after eating the last bite of the vegetable cake, he said to himself.
"Yeah." Gilbert nodded, and handed the tableware he had eaten to Austin.
Austin glanced at the greasy dinner plate in his hand, looked up at Gilbert and said, "I washed it for you this time, you have to remember to wash it yourself in the future."
"I don't know much about it." Gilbert said innocently.
Austin stroked his forehead and said in frustration: "Then you also have to tell me: Please help me wash the dishes, something like this. Do you understand?"
"Understood." Gilbert nodded: "Please wash the dishes."
"Ah" Austin said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I will wash it for you in the future. You don't have to say these words."
There was not much time left before departure, and Austin rushed to the sink to rinse the tableware. Before I could dry it, I put it in the package.
Gilbert followed him all the time, never leaving him.
Until finally walking in front of the army array, he consciously found Abel and walked to his side.
"Coming?" Abel said.
"Hmm." Gilbert didn't have much affection for any human being except Austin. At this time, after Abel greeted him, he also replied blankly.
Although Abel was enthusiastic, but due to the atmosphere in the army, he did not continue to talk to Gilbert.
The two were at the front of the line, and they stood side by side in a row.
