Chapter 817 : Two people rushing to the top of the mountain
The teleportation array couldn't send them directly to the territory of the Goblin Kingdom. After Kant and Abel stopped at the stronghold halfway up the mountain, they asked the way and rushed to the main city gate.
"Hey! I am Abel, the soldier leader of the elves! I am a friend of your Highness Gilbert, and now something urgent has happened! We must see him." After walking under the city gate, Abel faced The goblin soldiers on the wall shouted.
The goblin soldiers who heard the movement looked at each other, but some soldiers still recognized Kant and Abel. He opened the city gate for them, and walked down the tower to meet them.
"Hello, Your Majesty Kant of Calradia." A goblin soldier walked up to Kant, saluted him and asked, "His Majesty Gilbert has not returned to the palace yet. I don't know why you are looking for him?"
"Where is Gilbert now?" Abel asked anxiously.
"I'm on my way back from the Snake Girl's territory, and I guess I won't be able to return to the country until late at night today." The goblin soldier answered Abel's question.
Kant nodded, bent slightly, held the soldier's hand, and said, "Thank you. Today, one of our companions disappeared. From the current point of view, this incident seems to be related to what Gilbert did when he went to the Snake Lady's territory. related matters. We want to discuss the next countermeasures with His Royal Highness Gilbert."
"I see." The goblin soldier frowned after hearing Kant's explanation. Then he greeted the two of them: "Then I will immediately send my soldiers to send the two adults into the palace. I will report this matter to His Royal Highness Gilbert after he returns to the city."
"Okay, I'll trouble you then." Kant nodded in thanks.
The goblin soldier summoned the soldiers on the side and whispered something in his ear. After the subordinate stepped back, a carriage was brought to Kant and Abel in a short while.
The goblin coachman who got off the carriage quietly stepped aside after setting up the small ladder for boarding the carriage.
Kant and Abel looked at each other, and said goodbye to the soldiers: "Goodbye, everyone."
"Be careful on the road." The goblin soldier instructed.
Kant stepped on the ladder first and boarded the carriage. Goblin carriages are smaller than those used by humans. After Abel also squeezed into the carriage, Kant could only tighten his shoulders helplessly.
Amidst the crowing of the horse, the carriage moved and galloped towards the main road in the city.
Because of their awkward posture, Kant and Abel did not speak a word during the whole journey. After half an hour passed, the coachman lifted the curtain and called the two to get off the car. The two breathed a sigh of relief, and went outside the carriage to exercise their muscles and bones.
"My lords, we have arrived." The coachman pointed to the gate of the palace and said, "The guards at the gate will arrange the next itinerary for you."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Abel agreed.
"It's okay." The coachman said with a smile, "I'll take my leave first."
"Um."
After the carriage left from the gate of the palace, Kant looked around: This is not the center of the city, and there are not many buildings around. Most of the few pedestrians coming and going on the street are luxuriously dressed. It seems that this is a residential area specially provided for goblin nobles.
At this moment, a soldier in armor stepped forward and spoke to the two of them, "Excuse me, are you the guests who came to see His Royal Highness Gilbert? The army guarding the city sent you here, right?"
"Yes." Kant nodded politely and replied, "I heard that His Royal Highness Gilbert is on his way back home. I wonder where we can wait for him?"
"Your Highness probably won't be able to return to the palace until early in the morning to rest. Please follow me to the accommodation I have arranged for you first." The soldier responded: "When His Highness Gilbert returns home, there will be soldiers rushing to inform you adults .”
"Well, okay." Kant pursed his lips tightly and agreed.
After the soldiers took the two to a luxuriously decorated rest residence, they resigned and left.
"Now I can only hope that Gilbert can return to the goblin country safely and meet us." Kant said to Abel after taking a sip of tea.
"Yes." Abel leaned against the window and replied softly, "I don't know how Bundak is doing now."
Although both of them were exhausted, their anxiety still prevented them from walking to the bed and lying down to rest. He could only sit at the tea table and wait for the news silently.
Peake didn't take the comatose Bundak far. After getting out of the sight of the onlookers, he turned back to the residence he bought on the street.
He has not informed other members of the dark forces about this action. It's just because I couldn't bear Gilbert's arrogance, so I couldn't help but attack Bundak and his party.
After Kant and others entered the town, the orc who was in charge of contacting him introduced the background of this group of people to himself. He also told them to keep an eye on them: the 'Yinchi' worm was planted on Bundak's body at that time.
Peek looked towards the union door through the gap in the window and saw the goblin army surveying the site. There are also Kant and Abel who came after hearing the news. The two stood in front of the guild's entrance, not knowing what they were talking about with their heads down.
"Sipa. Go and listen to what they are saying." Pique stared at Kant's position and ordered softly.
A small transparent snake wandered from the window sill on the second floor to the stone steps beside Kant, and the two of them did not notice its existence. The content of the conversation echoed in Pique's ears with incomparable clarity.
"Oh." When Pique heard that Kant was planning to declare war on the dark forces, he sneered and said disdainfully, "It's just a small desert country. It really has no self-knowledge."
"you"
While Pique was still monitoring Kant, Bundak, who was lying on the floor, woke up, but his consciousness was still in a trance. After seeing the strange figure in front of him, he hesitated to call out. road.
Pique was so frightened by the sudden cry that he cut off the connection of spiritual power, and the little snake called 'Sipa' also shrank into a hole in the ground.
This transparent little snake is very afraid of sunlight. Without the blessing of magic, it can only stay in a place where there is no sunlight.
"Sipa!" Pique couldn't help but said. After not seeing the little snake, he turned around bitterly and glared at Bandak. Said: "What the hell are you calling!"
".I remember." Banda Ke stared at Pique after regaining consciousness and said, "You are that bastard animal trainer!"
"Well, what then?" Pique raised a wooden chair, threw it at Bundak, and said angrily, "It's all because of your scream just now, and now Patsy doesn't know where to go! You guys These people are really broomsticks!"
Chapter 818: The accomplices I met on the street
Bundak caught the wooden chair flying in front of him, stood up and asked Pique, "Just now I was stunned by the attack from behind by the cheetah you raised, right?"
"It seems that its slap was not hard enough." Pique looked out the window and said to Bundak behind him.
"Now that I've woken up, let's compete again." Bandak stretched out his hand to his waist, but unexpectedly found that his weapon was not in the scabbard.
"Oh." Pique leaned against the window, looked at Bundak and sneered, "I'm not in the mood to continue fighting with you. What's more, I don't think you are qualified to fight me now."
"Bastard! Don't underestimate. Ah!" Bundak clenched his fists and shouted angrily. In his eyes, just using these hands to fight is enough to deal with the attack brought by Pique. However, only halfway through the words in his mouth, there was a tearing pain in the knees of his legs. It made him fall to the floor in an instant.
"I don't like to fight. The previous rounds with you were just because I wanted the child of 'Yinchi' to grow up quickly in your body." Pique had a strange smile on his lips. He continued: "It seems that they are growing well."
"Damn it!" Bundak's lower limbs were completely paralyzed, the effect brought by the larvae invading his bone marrow.
"Does it hurt now?" Pique squatted in front of Bundak, pretending to be innocent and said, "It's okay, it won't hurt in a few days. Because they will still invade your brain and occupy your nerves. Instead You, be 'you'."
"What's your purpose?" Bandak asked through gritted teeth.
"Purpose, there is a small purpose to use you to exchange members of our organization." Pique met Bundak's eyes and said seriously: "It's just that I think you, who let the consciousness be controlled, returned the Goblin Kingdom It's a good plan to have your so-called Ka Radia disturbing the peace. What do you think?"
"Hey, don't even try to succeed in any of these things." Bandak said angrily, "Even if I die, I won't let you use me to attack Calradia."
"Hmph." Pique snorted coldly with disdain: "Your life is in my hands, life or death is up to me."
After saying this, Pique stood up and walked out the door. What he is most concerned about now is Sipa's safety. After locking the door belt, he walked quickly to the lobby downstairs and hid behind the door to observe the movement on the street.
Kant and Abel have already left the place, and they don't know where they went. After the goblin soldiers settled everything and left the scene, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.
Pique carefully walked to the door of the guild while looking at the pedestrians on the road, and whispered: "Sipa, Sipa, where are you?"
"Hiss—" A familiar voice came from the stairs leading to the guild gate.
Pique immediately walked over, prostrated himself on the ground, searching for Sipa's figure. Finally, he stopped in front of a hidden hole in the ground, where Sipa was cowering and hiding.
"Sipa, I'm here to pick you up." Pique said happily, "Let's go back."
Pique stretched out his hand to Sipa, and a wave of spiritual power flowed into Sipa's head from his fingertips. As if he had been healed, Sipa walked out of the cave naturally, walked slowly to Pique's shoulder, and disappeared into the air.
Pique let out a breath of relief, stood up straight, and patted the dust on himself.
"Fortunately, I didn't lose it this time." Pique whispered.
"Pike!" At this moment, a rough voice reached Pique's ears. It made his heart tighten suddenly.
"Mondy." With a stiff smile on his face, Pique raised his hand to greet the half-orc who was walking towards him.
"What are you doing here?" Monty walked up to Pique, patted him on the shoulder and asked, "I was standing on the streets of the West City just now, and I could feel the movements of those babies under your hands. Are you in trouble?"
"Yeah," Pique curled his lips and said, "Yes, I met someone who picked on me before, and I wanted to teach him a lesson. I didn't expect that the action was a little bit bigger."
"It's a trivial matter." After listening to Peake's explanation, Monty waved his hand easily, and said with a smile: "It can only be said that that person's luck is not so good. I will explain it to the people at the inspection station." It will be settled for you."
"Thank you so much." Pique nodded.
"No need." Just as Pique was about to leave politely, Monty stopped him and asked, "By the way, how are the people I arranged for you to monitor before?"
"How?" Pique frowned and thought for a while, "No, they seem to have entrusted the investigation task to the king of the goblin country. Now they are wandering around all day."
"That's it," said Monty, stroking his hair, "That's really boring. You can observe it for a few more days, and if they don't take any action to investigate, the monitoring task can also be cancelled."
"But." Pique said hesitantly.
"Don't worry, Lord 'Master' just told us to beware of outsiders from this archipelago." Mundy said: "They can't make any waves."
"Alright then." Pique agreed, "Then I'll continue to observe."
"Okay," said Monty, nodding his head, "I just came to say hello. I have to go back and drink with my friends. Goodbye."
"Yeah." Pique slightly bent over and said.
After seeing Monty turn his back and leave, Peake also walked back to his residence.
Walking up to the second floor, Peake stood quietly outside the door for a while, and there was no movement in the room. This made him frown.
After lightly unlocking the door, a strong impact knocked Pique seven or eight meters away. Fell against the edge of the wall.
Pique held his dizzy head and looked forward. Seeing Bundak dragging his legs, his name appeared.
"How did you rush out?" Pique asked strangely, staring at Bundak as if he was sizing up a monster.
"Hmph," Bandak looked up at Pique and said, "I said, even if I die, I won't allow myself to be manipulated by a villain like you."
"Hehe." Pique said with a smile: "Do you think you can prevent the spread of eggs by sealing your own meridians?"
"At least for now, it seems that the effect is not bad." Bandak's mouth curled into a smile, and he said confidently: "Although I don't know how long this will delay, it should be enough to defeat you with this gap."
Pique's eyes instantly became serious, he patted the dust off his body, stood up and said to Bundak, "Try."
Chapter 819: The second round of battle
I didn't say anything more. Bundak raised his fist and hit Pique in the face.
"It's too slow." Pique dodged Bandak's attack and beckoned to Bandak.
Bundak couldn't keep up with Pique's figure in time because of the inconvenient movement of his lower limbs. He could only use his body to resist Pique's fists and kicks, and look for opportunities to fight back.
After more than a dozen rounds, Bundak's face was already stained. It's just that, facing Bundak's huge size, in the narrow space of the stairway, Peak's extreme dodge is not flattering. Although he kept wanting to change the battlefield, Bandak still stood in place, motionless as a mountain. Even if Pique deliberately sold his flaws and was hammered to the ground by him, Bundak would not pursue the victory. Follow him to shift positions.
Bundak's battle-tested physique played a role at this time, and the injuries he suffered did not become a burden, but the fierce battle made him more excited. As time went by, Pique exposed more and more flaws in the battle.
Unknowingly, Bundak gradually regained the upper hand.
"You" Peake squatted in the corner panting, staring at Bundak and shouted.
At the beginning of the battle, he summoned the energy of the 'predator' in his body and grafted it on himself, allowing him to successfully avoid Bundak's heavy punch.
However, up to now, Pique's spiritual power is running out, and he can no longer maintain the 'predator form'.
"What's the matter?" Bandak dragged his legs, walked slowly in front of Pique, and said to him sarcastically, "Is that all you can do? I haven't started to exert my full strength yet."
"I admit defeat." Pique raised his hands in surrender. After seeing Bandak approaching, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he used the silver blade hidden in his sleeve.
"Don't play tricks on me." Bandak grabbed Pique's wrist and warned harshly.
"Let me go." Pique's entire face became distorted because of the pain from his wrist. call out.
"Where is the antidote for the bug you planted on me?" Bandak stared at Pique and asked.
"There is no antidote, let me go!" Pique struggled.
"Huh!" Bundak let go, and Pique clutched his right wrist, prostrating on the ground and howling. Glancing up, he saw Bundak took out a small knife and asked in horror, "What are you going to do?"
"Since you don't want to say it, I can only force you to speak." Bandak glanced at Pique, raised his knife and cut a small cut on his upper leg.
When Pique saw this scene, his eyes widened and he said, "You madman, what are you going to do?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Bandak stared at his wound for a while, and after seeing a wriggling larva, he quickly lifted it out of his body with his fingertips.
The body of the larva of 'Yin Chi' is milky white, and when it moved between Bundak's palms, it was still writhing from side to side.
Bundak looked at Pique who was cowering in the corner, and asked indifferently, "I'll ask you one last time, where is the antidote?"
"I, I. I'll give you the antidote." Pique's pupils trembled violently, and after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he confessed to Bundak.
"Now, give it to me." Bandak beckoned.
Peake staggered back to his room, and found a bottle of red medicine after rummaging through the boxes. Tremblingly handed it to Bandak.
Banda Ke took the medicine bottle in his hand, looked it over and over again, looked up at Pique and said, "You won't lie to me, will you?"
"No, no," Pique responded nervously.
Bandak thought for a while, opened the bottle cap, and poured the medicine in the bottle on the larva in his hand.
After seeing the vaporized body of the larva, Bandak raised his eyebrows and drank the remaining liquid medicine in one gulp.
After a while, the lower limbs of the body regained consciousness, and some viscous secretions emerged from the pores, with a little smell.
Bandak nodded in satisfaction, and said to Pique, "You told me your real name, right?"
"Yes." Pique agreed.
"Okay." Bandak took out his handkerchief to stop the bleeding wound, nodded and said, "Then we will see you next time."
"You..." Pique opened his eyes wide in surprise, and asked Bundak, "Aren't you going to kill me?"
"No," Bandak shook his head, and said, "This time I am going to attack you, and you will defeat you if you underestimate the enemy. If I kill you at this time, I will not think highly of myself .”
After hearing Bundak's words, Pique was momentarily surprised and speechless.
But Bandak didn't expect his response, and after a short rest, he raised his legs and left the room.
The Snake Girl Guild downstairs has not yet opened, but the long queue has killed Bundak's hope of waiting in line.
"Your Majesty, where are they now?" Bandak tried to recall for a while, but he didn't get any results. He glanced at the ragged clothes on his body. Bandak reluctantly walked towards the hotel where he stayed last night.
As soon as he walked into the lobby, the boss immediately greeted him and asked him, "Master Bandak, why are you back?"
"What's the matter?" Bandak sat down on the bench beside him and told the boss, "Can you please help me get some ointment for wounds. My body is bruised and purple, which is always too conspicuous some."
"Yes, yes." The boss quickly agreed, and then called the waiter who was cleaning the table, asking him to bring the medicine box.
"I heard that you were targeted by an animal trainer who lives nearby and likes to find fault. Did he hit you with the injuries?" the boss asked cautiously.
"Yes." Bundak replied, frowning. And I was a little surprised to think in my heart: the news spread so fast.
"Ah, the medicine is here." The innkeeper ordered the waiter to put down the medicine box, and said to Bandak intimately, "My lord, I'll get someone to give you the medicine."
"No need." Bandak waved his hand indifferently, picked up the medicine box on the table, and walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor. And said: "I can give myself medicine, just remember to send someone to pick up this box."
"Yes." The innkeeper agreed respectfully.
"Oh, that's right." With a glimmer of hope, Bandak turned around and asked the boss standing in the open space, "Do you know where the two people who stayed with me went?"
"You're talking about Mr. Kant and Mr. Abel." The innkeeper thought for a while and said, "I heard from the waiter who rushed back from the street: They seem to have gone to the teleportation base on the main street, and they probably have to go up the mountain."
"Up the mountain?" Bandak's expression immediately became tangled.
Chapter 820 : The Righteous Hero of Economic Distress
Bandak returned to the wing with heavy steps.
He just ran out of the hotel door on his own impulse. After discovering that he was penniless, he turned back dejectedly.
"Master Bundak, what's the matter with you?" The boss who was clearing the account at the counter asked curiously, looking at his appearance.
"It's nothing." Bandak glanced at the boss, and his mood dropped even further.
From the current point of view, His Majesty Kant and Abel should have gone up the mountain to find the goblins and dwarves for help. But they didn't know that they had escaped from Pique's hands.
The cost of taking the teleportation array was extremely high. Before Kant and Abel went down the mountain, I could only stay in this small town and do something for them.
"Boss, do you have any messengers going up the mountain?" Abel asked unwillingly.
"Yes, but the time when the person receiving the letter comes to the town is not fixed." The innkeeper thought about it for a while, and responded: "Master Bandak, do you need to send the letter up the mountain? If the messenger arrives in the town, I will send someone to let you know." Will you."
"Thank you." Bandak nodded and said, "Then, what is the cost of sending a letter up the mountain?"
When asking this question, Bandak bowed his head in shame. Once again, I made up my mind in my heart: I must keep part of the money in my own hands in the future, and I can no longer give full power to Abel.
"I remember that the price of a letter seems to be three silver coins. After all, the messenger also takes the teleportation array to go up the mountain." The innkeeper said: "If you come and go, they don't make much money at all."
"Oh." Bandak touched the shriveled purse, nodded and said, "Thank you."
"No need." The boss smiled and shook his head. Then continue to bury your head in the ledger.
Bandak silently left from the counter.
"This animal trainer is pretty heavy handed." Bandak endured the pain and applied the medicine to himself, recalling Peake's figure scurrying around on the stairs.
"Dong dong dong!" After applying the ointment in front of the mirror, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Bandak asked suspiciously. After putting on his shirt, he immediately walked to the door and opened it.
"Master Bundak, hello." A waiter with a plate stammered greeting after seeing Bundak open the door: "The store has prepared some light meals for you. They are all helpful for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, I hope you can accept them."
"Huh?" Bandak looked at the dishes on the plate, swallowed, and asked, "Do these... need money?"
"Ah?" The waiter said strangely: "No, no, you don't need to pay. These are all presented to you in our shop."
"Oh, that's good. Bring it in." Bundak calmed down and called to the waiter.
Now he has to save money to send a letter to His Majesty Kant, because he can't afford any food for recuperating his body.
"Then I'll take my leave first, please take it easy." The waiter retreated to the door after putting the exquisite dishes on the table, and bid farewell to Bandak.
"Well, thank you." Bandak nodded and replied.
The waiter gently closed the door and walked down the stairs. On the way back to the back kitchen, I met the owner of the hotel.
"Hello boss." The waiter said respectfully.
"How is it? Has Mrs. Bundak accepted the food you sent?" The innkeeper asked nervously.
"Accepted." The waiter replied.
"That's good." The boss nodded happily, and said, "Master Bandake got rid of Pique, a villain, for us. For this alone, we have to take good care of him."
"Boss, you are right." The waiter echoed.
Bandak sat down at the table and began to eat his first meal of the day.
Now the sky outside the window is bright and sunny, and the streets are full of homeless people looking for a place to eat. Unknowingly, the hour hand has already pointed to the meal time.
After a hearty meal, he leaned against the window and watched the crowd coming and going, Bundak's expression became melancholy.
"It seems that I am still not very suitable for myself," Bandak read softly.
I don't know if Kant and Bandak have reached the top of the mountain now, have they seen the patriarch of the dwarf clan or the king of the goblin country.
If only I could follow up the mountain to find them.
In the palace of the Goblin Kingdom, Kant and Abel sat in their guest rooms for a long time.
While the two were drowsy, a goblin waiter brought dinner in a dining car and said to them: "My two guests, His Highness Gilbert encountered a heavy rain on the way back. It is estimated that we can wait until noon tomorrow. Go back to the country. You don't have to sit here and wait. Let's have some dinner first."
"Did you encounter a heavy rain?" Kant took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, we will have dinner."
"Okay." The goblin waiter glanced at Bundak who had been silent all the time, bowed slightly, and then exited the room.
Abel walked to the dining car and silently put the dishes on the table one by one. Then he sat down beside Kant and said, "Your Majesty, let's have something to eat first."
Kant supported his forehead and glanced at the dinner on the table. Sighing, he said, "Well, let's have dinner."
The room was so quiet that there was only the sound of silver knives and forks colliding with dishes.
Meals did not take much time, after all, neither of them had much appetite. The waiter who came to clean up the tableware, after seeing most of the dishes left on the plate. Without disturbing the quiet time of the two, they silently pushed up the dining car and walked out.
"Gilbert won't be here tonight," Kant said.
"Bundak." Abel said worriedly.
"It's okay, I trust Bundak." Kant shook his head and said.
The air in the room became quiet again, and the rain spread from the sky to the foot of the mountain. The top of the mountain is still in the sweltering environment before the heavy rain.
The uneasiness in Kant and Bandak's hearts became agitated again.
Abel got up and opened the window, letting the wind rush in.
"Staying indoors is too boring. Let's go for a walk." Kant suggested.
"Yes." Abel agreed. Immediately afterwards, the two opened the door and walked out of their room. Wandering around the vast palace.
Raindrops were already falling from the sky, crackling on the stained glass bed.
Watching the rain getting heavier, Abel covered Kant and returned from the open space to the eaves. And asked with concern: "Your Highness, are you alright?"
"It's okay, thanks to you." Kant shook his head easily and said, "I didn't even get caught in the rain."
"That's good." Abel exhaled and said.
