Chapter 813 : Guild run by Snake Girl
Abel put the bell in his hand and fiddled with it for a while, then said with a smile, "I didn't expect such a convenient thing to exist in this hotel. Just looking at the hotel owner, I really can't tell."
"This rope should be connected to the kitchen." Kant said, "Come and see what to order for dinner today."
"Yes." Abel put down the bell and nodded.
The two sat at the tea table and discussed the dishes for tonight.
"Abel, don't you order staple food? I see you only ordered two vegetable salads." Kant looked at the menu and asked suspiciously.
"It's okay, these are my usual staple foods." Abel smiled and shook his head, and said, "And I'm a vegetarian. Your Majesty Kant, do we need to wake up Commander Bandak? Because I don't know he wants some something."
"No, he should be really tired." Kant replied without raising his head: "Let him sleep a little longer. I'll just order him some staple foods recommended by the store."
"Well, okay." Abel glanced in the direction of the bed where Bundak was lying, and there was a snoring sound coming from inside.
Kant closed the recorded menu, went to the porch and rang the bell. After a while, they heard footsteps approaching the door.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The cook in overalls knocked on the door of the guest room.
The moment Kant opened the door, he smelled the oily smoke from the other party's body.
"Hi. Excuse me, is this the customer who ordered?" the cook asked politely.
"Yes." Kant smiled and handed the menu to the other party, and said, "Please come here yourself."
"It's okay." The cook took out a towel to wipe his hands, and took the menu. Responded: "Please wait a moment, dinner will be delivered in a while."
"Are these dishes already prepared?" Kant asked in surprise.
"Yes. And it's freshly baked." The chef thought that Kant was worried about the freshness of the dishes, and hurriedly explained: "The first batch of dishes we make are for distinguished guests like you."
"I see." Kant nodded and said, "Thank you."
The cook waved his hand and said, "If there are no other questions, I will take my leave first."
"Okay." Kant watched the cook leave, then returned to the guest room.
At this time Bundak had been woken up by Abel and was washing up in a separate bathroom.
"Bundak is awake?" Kant sat down at the tea table, poured himself a glass of water, and asked Abel.
"Yeah." Abel was packing his luggage, turned around and replied, "When he was going to call him just now, he woke up by himself."
"It's enough to rest enough." Kant said, picking up the notes on the tea table and reading them again.
The three of them were busy with their own tasks and spent the time before dinner in peace.
When the waiter who pushed the dining car into the room was serving dishes to the table, Bundak came out of the bathroom with his long wet hair.
Looking at the waiter's back in a hurry, Bandak asked curiously, "What's wrong with him?"
"She looks like a teenage girl, seeing you come out topless. Of course I'm not very embarrassed." Abel responded while stirring the vegetable salad in the bowl.
"Sorry, I didn't pay much attention." Bundak smiled awkwardly, and immediately found a coat from the suitcase beside him, and put it on himself.
"Sit down and eat quickly." Kant greeted Bundak: "You shouldn't go to the bathroom to take a shower immediately after waking up. If you do that, you will easily faint."
"The usual habit is like this." Bundak said with a haha.
"I didn't know what you like to eat, so I ordered a steak set meal for you." Kant glanced at Bundak and said, "If you don't like it, you can use the bell at the door to order from the waiter."
Bundak must be really hungry, he picked up a large piece of steak on the plate and chopped it up. After listening to Kant's words, he wiped his mouth, turned to look at the door, and said, "What is the function of that bell?"
"If you ring it, a waiter will be sent from the kitchen on the ground floor," Abel explained.
"I see." Bundak thought for a while, then nodded.
Abel glanced at Bundak and said to Kant: "Your Majesty, according to Gilbert, the Dragon Clan has already spread the news about taking us to the castle for a talk. Do you think that after him, the people of the Dwarf Clan will also Will you come to see us?"
"Probably not." Kant replied after taking a sip of the soup, frowning: "The dwarves are in the eye of the storm, probably busier than the dragons. They probably don't have time to see us. But you reminded us Leave me alone, when we go out to inquire about news tomorrow, we also have to find out the situation near the volcano."
"Your Majesty, where are we going tomorrow?" Bandak was still chewing food, and his voice sounded indistinct.
"Let's go to the guilds we inquired about today first." Kant put down the tableware and replied, "We don't have enough time, I have marked the key guilds that we must go to. After the dinner is over, you Remember to take a good look at your notes."
"Yes." Abel agreed.
"The dinner in this hotel is pretty late." Kant wiped his mouth with a napkin, gestured for the other two to eat slowly, and said: "Tomorrow, let's find a tavern in town and come back after dinner." .”
"Okay." Bundak nodded.
"It's getting late, so I'll go back to my room to rest first." Kant pushed away the chair, stood up and said, "You guys also go to bed earlier. Don't forget to read your notes."
"yes."
Kant looked at the two and nodded, then turned and walked to the bedroom.
After Kant left, Bandak called the waiter and added a pasta for himself.
Seeing Bundak sucking on the noodles, Abel reluctantly walked to the tea table and began to study the notes written by Kant alone.
"Where is the first place we will go tomorrow?" Bundak sat down beside Abel with a teacup after finishing his dinner, and asked.
"Ratata, the name of this guild is quite strange." Abel pointed to the letters circled in red and said doubtfully.
"Oh, I remember this." Bandak responded: "It seems to be near the downstairs. The boss who runs this guild is himself a snake girl."
"Go to the union run by the snake girl to inquire about a snake girl. Is it too ostentatious?" Abel said, frowning.
"How come, we will act according to the time." Bandak didn't worry much about this problem, and responded: "And at least those who inquire about news must have professional ethics."
Chapter 814: A peaceful night
"Okay." Abel nodded. He continued to pick up the notes and looked at them, but after asking Bundak a few questions, he didn't get a response.
Just when he was feeling strange, Bundak's heavy head rested on his shoulders, and the sound of calm breathing reached Abel's ears.
"Fall asleep." Abel lowered his head and looked at Bundak's sleeping face, and said softly, "Didn't you already sleep all afternoon today? It's so strange. I didn't even read the notes. This person is really"
Abel carried the sleeping Bundak on his back and walked to the bed in the bedroom, making him lie flat on the bed. After blowing out the candlesticks in the room, he gently closed the door and walked out.
Until late at night, Abel finally fell asleep on the cork recliner in the wing with his notes in his arms.
The next morning, Abel was still the first to wake up. After all, the cork chair was not as comfortable as the soft bed in the bedroom.
After looking at the quiet guest room, he guessed that Kant and Bundak were still asleep. Abel dragged his sore body into the bathroom.
In fact, before coming into contact with Calradia soldiers, he didn't have any obsession with taking a bath.
However, after seeing Claremont and the others relaxing in the bath in the hotel's large bathhouse, Abel also began to think that bathing was one of the ways to cheer people up.
As a water elf, he has indeed benefited a lot from it.
After Abel took a bath and came out of the bathroom. Kant was already sitting on a chair by the dining table, having morning tea.
"Good morning, Your Majesty." Abel greeted.
"Good morning." Kant raised his head and responded, "What's wrong with you? You don't seem to be in a very good spirit."
"I accidentally fell asleep on the chair last night. I feel a little pain in my shoulder now." Abel replied while swinging his arms back and forth.
"I'll get you some plaster from the medicine cabinet." Kant stood up and walked to the door of his room, then poked his head out and said, "By the way, it's getting late now. Please help me." Wake Bundak up."
"Yes!" Abel was stunned for a while, then replied after he realized it.
Pushing open Bundak's door, the familiar snoring sound reached his ears. Abel frowned: he was really a little angry. They tried their best to come to this small town in order to find the real culprit who framed DeWitt and others behind the scenes. But since Bundak arrived at the hotel, no matter how he looked, he looked listless, and spent most of his time sleeping.
"Commander Bandak! It's time to get up!" Abel walked to the bed and shouted at the sleeping Bandak.
The snoring finally stopped, and Bundak's body also moved. But there was no intention of waking up.
Abel sighed, stretched out his hand and shook Bundak, and said, "Bundak, get up quickly! We are going to perform a mission!"
After a while, Bandak opened his eyes bewilderedly, raised his head and said to Abel, "Abel, what are you doing?"
"I'm waking you up." Abel said, looking at Bundak strangely.
"Oh," Bandak stared at Abel in a daze for a while, then sighed and said, "I just had a nightmare."
"What did you dream about?" Abel sat down by Bundak's bed and asked.
"I dreamed that people on this island were fighting. I don't know why, but you were among those fighting. I went to pull you, and you beat me too." Bandak responded: "Then the two of us Fight, and then, you die."
After stating the whole dream, Bandak glanced at Abel timidly.
"You... you don't have the ability to express yourself." Abel was stunned, and after a while, he replied: "Besides, why was I the one who died in the dream? As a mage, I was held in place by you." beaten to death?"
"I don't know either." Bandak shook his head and replied, "I just remember my hands were covered with blood."
Seeing Bundak's guilty expression, Abel relaxed his tone, and comforted: "Don't worry, it's just a dream. I still have the self-consciousness that I won't meet you. Hurry up and wash up. His Majesty Kant also I've been waiting for you for a while."
"Okay." Bundak looked at Abel's leaving back, and patted himself on the head vigorously with his hand. In fact, the reason why this dream happened is also related to his daily thoughts.
For some reason, the way he looks at Abel has become strange recently. I always feel that the other party's behavior is very suspicious.
"My head is really broken." Bandak frowned and read softly.
"Abel, come and sit down here." Kant was currently studying the medicine bottle in the medicine cabinet. After seeing Abel walk out of Bandak's bedroom, he immediately beckoned him to sit down in front of him.
"Your Majesty." After sitting down as instructed, Abel called out in embarrassment when he saw the bottles and cans in front of him.
"Don't worry, I turned them all out just out of curiosity." Kant held up a small bottle of white ointment in his hand and explained, "You just need to apply this."
"Well, that's good." Abel said with a sigh of relief.
"For mages like you, if you don't care about the root of the disease that usually hurts your muscles and bones, it will also cause great damage to your body." Kant told Abel while opening the medicine bottle.
"It won't be that serious." Abel's defense was halfway through, and he felt the ointment on his back burning like a fire, and couldn't help crying out.
"Is it okay?" Kant asked concerned: "This ointment works well. It's just that at the beginning, there will be some special effects."
"It's okay." Abel responded, pursing his lips tightly.
Bundak, who finished washing, sat aside, chewing a piece of bread and said, "Abel, why didn't you go back to bed yesterday?"
"Sitting here and reading notes, I fell asleep." Abel glared at Bundak, gritted his teeth and said.
"Ah, that's right. I haven't read that notebook much yet." Bundak suddenly remembered the task that Kant gave him last night, and said suddenly.
"It's too late to see now." Kant looked at Bundak helplessly, and said, "Come and apply the ointment for me, we have to leave early later."
"I'm sorry." Bandak said to Abel apologetically.
After speaking, he put down his breakfast, squeezed a pinch of ointment into his hand, and massaged Abel's neck.
"It's okay." Abel gave him a helpless look and nodded.
Kant went to the door, rang the bell, and summoned the waiter who was in charge of clearing the tableware.
Chapter 815: The cheetah that appeared out of thin air
After the three walked out of the hotel, they immediately ran towards the 'La Tata' guild.
But when we got there, we found that there was a sign hanging on the door of the 'La Tata' guild—it said that the shopkeeper was out on business, and the business would start at 6:00 p.m. today.
At the entrance of the guild, there are quite a few homeless people who, like Kant and others, came here for the name. After seeing the notice at the door, many people turned around and left.
"Your Highness, why don't we go to other places first?" Bandak suggested.
"Well, good." Kant nodded. Just as the three of them were about to leave with the crowd, a young man in rather old clothes stopped them—
"Excuse me, is this Lord Kant of the Calradia Empire?" The young man had a very rich expression. After standing still in front of Kant, the young man shouted excitedly, "I am a beast trainer, and my name is Pique."
Bandak took a step, stood in front of Pique, and asked him, "What's the matter with you?"
"I live near here. When His Highness Gilbert came to look for you yesterday, I happened to pass by there." Pique introduced: "This time, I mainly want to make friends with you."
"We're not here to make friends with people," Abel said indifferently. Intuitively speaking, he didn't think the animal trainer in front of him was a good stubble.
"We are all fellow human beings, why bother to be so hostile?" Pique still had a bright smile on his face, persuading him, "We might be able to take care of each other in the future."
Kant sighed and was about to turn his back and leave.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't leave." Pique looked at Kant's back and said, "If you leave, you will have no chance to enter this guild to inquire about the news you want."
Kant paused after hearing this sentence. He asked, "What do you mean?"
Pique narrowed the distance to the three of them, and explained to Kant in a low voice: "Those who leave as soon as they see the notice are newcomers who have just come to this town. 'Ratata' only recruits a few people every day." Ten guests, the number is not fixed. You are leaving now, and when you come back later, there is already a long queue at the door, and there is no chance to get in."
"Really?" Abel raised his eyebrows and said.
"I'm here to tell you this." Pique said with a sincere face: "Look at those squatting at the door, refusing to leave, they are all familiar hands. I guess they are still praying for more people to leave now. OK."
"It turns out that you are taking this route." Bandak raised his head, looked around, and said.
"Hey, now you know that I really want to be friends with you." Pique said with a smile.
Kant and Abel looked at each other, coughed twice, and said, "Since we are all idlers and retail investors, it is fate to meet each other. Friends or something, it sounds so awkward. Rather, you let me know you today Such a person."
Pique didn't quite understand the meaning of Kant's words. After thinking for a while, he waved his hands and said, "If you know him, you will know him. It doesn't matter. I'm just here to send you a letter."
"Hmm." Kant nodded and said, "Bundak, you just stay here with this Mr. Beast Trainer and wait for the guild to open. Abel and I will go to other places to have a look during this time."
"Me?" Bandak looked up at the sky, and finally compromised: "Okay. Be careful."
"I will protect His Royal Highness Kant." Abel promised Bandak.
"Where are you two going next?" Pique asked curiously.
"It's not very convenient to tell you." Abel shook his head and said.
"Abel, let's go." Kant greeted Abel after walking a short distance alone.
"Yes." After Abel said 'goodbye' to Bundak, he immediately caught up with Kant.
With the arrival of spring, the sunshine in the city has also become warmer.
Bandak and Peake stood side by side on the main street, feeling sleepy unconsciously.
"I don't know why I always feel poor sleep recently." Bandak tried to open his eyes wide, and took the initiative to talk to Pique.
"Maybe it's spring." Pique replied softly.
"Do you mean that people will become sleepy when spring comes?" Bandak chuckled and said, "But I used to have this time every year, but I didn't have such a special feeling."
"Yeah." Pique turned sideways, nodded to Bundak and said, "Maybe it's because you were missing something in the past."
"What?" Bandak asked strangely, looking at him.
"This." Pique's mouth curled up, and he stretched out his hand to reach behind Bundak's ear, and a flying insect emitting purple fluorescence landed on his hand.
Bandak touched his neck and said, "What is this?"
"'Yinchi', a demonic flying insect. It lives by sucking human energy." Pique explained, and then the flying insect disappeared from his finger.
"It turned out to be because of it. Why did I have this kind of thing on my body?" Bandak wondered, "Why did it disappear again?"
"Because he is now lodged in my body." Pique said flatly.
"Are you its trainer?" Bundak was stunned for a while, and immediately kept a distance from Pique. His eyes also became vigilant.
"Yes." Pique replied calmly.
"Are you someone sent by the dark forces?" Bandak's right hand was already on the handle of the knife at his waist.
"Hehe. Good guess." Pique smiled and said, "So, are you planning to continue the investigation?"
"You framed our entire ship of soldiers and let them die in the sea. Why can't we track it down?" Bandak's eyes showed a trace of hatred.
"Because that would be the worst choice." Pique's eyes flashed a gleam, and he replied viciously: "Actually, what the above means is to let you hit a wall in this small town and forget it. Unexpectedly, you and Gilbert still has a relationship. Early this morning, Carat was kidnapped by his subordinates, and now he is being interrogated in a dark interrogation room. It's all because of your talk!"
"How could the relationship between Gilbert and a sacrificed soldier in our team be beyond your imagination." Bandak replied loudly: "Although his methods are a little too radical, I don't think What's wrong with that."
"Garbage that only asks others for help." Pique roared, "As much as Carat was injured by Gilbert's hands, you will have to bear double the pain."
"Come on!" Bandak pulled out his long sword and confronted Pique.
"Porphyrin!" After the ring on Pique's hand received the inflow of spiritual power, a ray of silver light flashed, and a cheetah appeared in front of Bundak.
Chapter 816: The defeated leader
Watch the black mist that hangs over the cheetah.
Bundak's eyes narrowed alertly, his hands tightly gripping the handle of the knife.
"Go!" Pique directed to 'Porphyrin'.
The cheetah immediately rushed to Bandak's body swiftly, revealing his sharp fangs.
The vagrants on the street ran away from this place when the battle started. Only the residents living nearby continued to watch from the windows on the second floor.
"Ahhh!" Bandak yelled and swung his long sword to slash at the cheetah.
It's just that the cheetah's figure is too flexible, and Bandak's sword only touched some of its fur.
"Roar!" The cheetah's eyes were filled with scarlet blood. He raised his claws and rushed towards Bandak.
Bundak rolled over and escaped his attack. His eyes caught Pique who was casting a spell behind the cheetah.
"Quick battle." Bundak said silently in his heart. Leaving the long sword at his waist, he swooped down to where Pique was.
"Roar!" The cheetah rushed to Peak and blocked his way.
"It's really troublesome." Bandak tried to get closer to Pique while avoiding the attack of the cheetah.
In his eyes: Pique can only control one ferocious beast, as long as Pique's spiritual power injection to the cheetah can be cut off, then the threat posed by the cheetah will also disappear.
"Stop for me." Bandak reluctantly walked in front of Pique, and scratched his arm with his long sword in the gap between the cheetah's pounce.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still. The sweat on Bundak's forehead wet his eyelashes. The sound of windows closing came from the household on the second floor. After Pique frowned because of the arm injury, a weird smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Looking at the huge shadow on the ground, Banda Ke opened his eyes wide in horror. Before he could turn his head, he was slapped into the brick wall of the roadside house by the palm of the cheetah, which had grown several times in size.
Some small bugs the size of rice grains drilled out of the wound on Pique's arm, licking the blood that flowed out. After a while, the blooming flesh and blood returned to its previous appearance.
Pique tore off his torn sleeve, walked up to Bundak who had passed out, and said with a smile: "It's really stupid, my pet is much better than me."
Pick grabbed Bundak by the hair and dragged him out of the brick wall. And greeted the cheetah behind him: "Porphyrin, let's go back."
The light of the ring on the finger dimmed, and the cheetah disappeared into the air.
At this time, Abel and Kant were heading towards the scene of the battle two streets away, rushing with all their strength.
After they stepped into a guild, they heard the news of the arrest of Cara from the Snake Race from the mouths of the fellows.
Gilbert's unexpected action made Kant's and Bandak's hearts hang.
After a while, Abel saw in the crowd a few homeless people with familiar faces who were squatting at the gate of the 'Rattata' guild before.
So he stepped forward to talk in doubt: "Hi, we met at the gate of the Snake Girl Guild before. Why are you here?"
"There are two lunatics fighting over there. We can't stay any longer. We just came here." The vagrant responded, "It's a pity. I managed to get the front seat today."
"Someone is fighting?" An ominous premonition rose in Abel's heart.
"That's right, one of them is still wearing armor. It seems to be a soldier in the human race." The vagrant thought about it for a while and said, "That's right."
Before the vagrant could finish speaking, Abel had already run out of the crowd and reported the news to Kant.
The two immediately raised their feet and ran to the door of the 'La Tata' guild. And on the road, they met many patrolling soldiers of the Goblin family who were traveling with them.
"I didn't expect that people would dare to cause trouble in the town." Kant heard a goblin complain.
"It seems that I heard that the troublemaker is a member of the dark forces. Recently, the movement of that group of people has become more and more serious." Another goblin said, "I don't know how far this trouble has gone?"
Kant sighed, and said, "That guy named Pique turned out to be a member of the dark forces, we should be more vigilant."
"Now I just hope that Bundak can hold on. Delay a little longer, let us rescue him." Abel said.
It's a pity that the battle didn't last long. When the two stood in front of the 'La Tata' guild again, they only saw a messy ground and collapsed brick buildings.
"What... what's going on! General, you have to make the decision for me. My brick house was newly built after I finally got permission." The owner of the house was crying to the goblin soldiers who came.
"Okay, okay, we will compensate you." The goblin leader said annoyed.
"Your Majesty, it seems that Bundak was taken away after being stunned by the tamer." Abel lowered his head and said to Kant, "Is all this because of Gilbert?"
"Perhaps." Kant no longer had the strength, nodded and said.
"I don't know where Bundak was taken now, what should we do now?" Abel was at a loss.
"Go up the mountain and find the dwarves." Kant was silent for a while, then said: "Those people from the dark side kidnapped Calradia's army commander, which is enough reason for us to declare war on them."
"Is Calradia's army going to attack this island?" Abel asked.
"Well, that's what I think." Kant nodded and said, "Before that, ask the patriarch of the dwarf clan. I didn't want this to become a transnational dispute."
"Well, I will do my best to support you, Your Majesty." Abel promised, "I hope that Bundak can be rescued this morning."
"The man named Pique didn't kill him, it must be because he wanted to exchange Bundak and Carat. Before we go to meet the dwarves, we have to go to the goblin country."
"But Gilbert said that he will not cooperate with us in investigating the sinking of the ship." Abel said hesitantly.
"No." Kant shook his head and said, "Gilbert just wanted to accept the attack of the dark forces on our behalf. This incident can be said to be that we underestimated the power of the dark forces."
"Okay." Abel nodded: "We will rush to the mountain immediately."
"Yes." Kant nodded in agreement.
The two recruited a carriage passing by the road and rushed to the base where the teleportation array was located.
After paying a high fee at the front desk, Abel took Kant to the teleportation formation and rushed to the territory where the goblin country was located.
Now, Bhandak's life is in the hands of the group. They can only seize the time to find a way to rescue this companion. The key to all this lies in the decisions Gilbert makes.
