Chapter 849: Chat after dinner
"In short, you don't have to ask him to do business," Kant explained.
"Yes." Bandak and Able looked at each other and could only helplessly respond.
In any case, they will not change their views on Filipse because of a trivial matter. Just because this is Kant's advice to them. They also had to agree.
After Kant used up his dinner quietly, he was ready to leave.
"Your Majesty, don't you say a few words to the soldiers?" Bandak quickly put down the fork and kept it out.
"When I was toasting, I had finished speaking." Kant smiled slightly and said, "You will go and say a few words with the soldiers later."
"Ah, that's what it is." Bandak remembered the time when he was absent from Able, and suddenly realized: "Well, let us do the rest."
"Well," Kant nodded slightly, then turned and left.
Bandak's food intake has been very large, which makes Able, who has been sitting by the side waiting for his meal, to be very speechless. He said, "Master, the soldiers are waiting for you to speak. If you continue to eat like this, you have to give the soldiers in the restaurant supper."
Bandak raised his head from the stack of plates and retorted: "Don't talk nonsense."
"I didn't talk nonsense," Able said with a sneer. "You see if the soldiers are all waiting for you?"
Bandak heard the words and looked around, and found that most of the soldiers put down the knife and fork in their hands, paying attention to the movement of their table. When Bandak's eyes moved to them, it seemed very cramped.
"Brother Bandak" Kerry pursed her lips and said hesitantly.
"Kerry," Bandak said with a blush on his cheeks, and said ashamedly: "Sorry, let you wait a long time."
"It's okay." Kerry responded.
"I'm full. Let's call the soldiers and start the meeting." Bandak took the napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth, and said to Able.
"Gather here?" Able asked in surprise.
"Yes, the soldiers are here for dinner." Bandak said strangely. "Just let them talk to us here and go back to the room to rest."
"You have this plan, you said it earlier." Able shook his head, said: "If you said earlier, we are still waiting for you to do. Well, if you are not full, you can continue to eat. I and the soldiers Let's say it."
"You" Bandak said for a moment, looking at the back of Able who got up and said.
"Everyone! Put the chairs together. Let's just chat a few words today." Able called to the long-awaited soldier.
"Yes." The soldiers moved the table away, leaving an empty space. All the chairs are lined up side by side.
"Master Able, how long are we going to stay in this town?" After Able was seated in the forefront chair, an elf soldier stood up and asked.
"Don't stand up, just sit up and raise your hand." Able waved his hand, indicating that the soldier sat down and responded: "We have to wait for the task in hand to finish before we can leave the town. You know What is the task?"
"Revenge for General DeWitt and General Cremont." A Caldia replied loudly.
"Yes," Able nodded gently, and said, "But this task needs to be done step by step. We stay in this town just to take our first step."
"Master Able, what is your first step?" a soldier asked.
"This, your leader, Kerry. Come to explain to you." Able raised his hand, motioned Kerry to come to his side, and introduced: "He is the captain recommended by you, right?" I can’t remember mentioning the leader before you set off."
"Yes," replied a soldier sitting in the front row: "Kerry is the leader of all of us."
"Well, he will be the commander of this operation." Able said to Kerry sideways: "Kerry, please tell me about it. The content of this operation."
Kerry pressed her lips tightly and nodded. Looking at all the soldiers, they said: "Your Majesty Kant found a member of the dark side organization in the town. He carried vital intelligence on him. Although he had left the town a few days ago. But his Yu Dang is still ambushing in the city, and we will pay close attention to the movement in the city in the next few days. Find out the escape movement of the member of the organization."
"Yes." The soldiers responded immediately.
"Well," Able took the lead, adding: "It's just that we have very limited sources of information. We don't know exactly which members are connected to Pique on weekdays. We can only rely on the news that you are standing in the city. Meeting point, all day long for news."
"From tomorrow on, everyone’s schedule will become very tight. However, the Goblin and Gnomish have promised to join us to help us. So I believe that this task will soon make new progress. During this period, you can only work hard. "Bandak walked to Carrie's side and said to all the soldiers.
"Go all out!" the soldiers echoed with their hands raised.
"Okay," Able nodded with relief: "Let's talk about how you have spent the time you came from the coast. How did you get on the boat?"
"Dragon soldiers arranged a boat for us and drove to the coast to pick us up." Kerry found a seat for himself in the crowd and answered after sitting down.
"How about the crew on the ship? Are they also the dragon nomads?" Bandak asked, leaning on the back of the chair.
"No, it's a sea monster." A Caldia responded: "The dragon people greeted us when they got on the boat and flew away. The crew on the boat didn't take care of us again after taking us into the cabin."
Able thought that when he returned to the harbor with DeWitt and others, the boat he took was also operated by the Kraken. Hesitantly asked the elf soldier: "Is that the boat we were sitting in before January?"
"Yes." An elf soldier responded: "The cabin's decoration is exactly the same."
"I didn't expect such a private boat to have contact with the dragon race." Able said silently.
"Have you ever been in this boat before?" Bandak asked curiously.
"Well," Able nodded. "After the rescue of the dwarf race, we took the boat back to the harbor. At that time, DeWitt and Cremont were still there. The quality of the boat was not very good. It seems to be an old ship for many years."
Chapter 850: Tasks Received by Soldiers
"Then did you have any trouble when you were on the boat?" Bandak asked the soldiers worriedly.
"No." Kerry shook his head and said, "Although the crew didn't pay much attention to us, they usually take care of us in terms of diet."
"Well, that's good." Bandak nodded.
A group of people began to talk about their respective experiences. When talking about their experiences in the town, Bandak kept the fact of being guilty.
"That dark-faced member actually played against Lord Bandak?" a soldier exclaimed.
"Well, Pique is an extremely dangerous person." Bandak said: "Your task is only to search for messages, and to track the movements of the locked characters. Never take the initiative to deal with Pique."
"Yes." The soldiers answered.
"Okay, it's not too early now." Able looked up at the wall clock on the wall and told the soldiers: "Let everyone go back to the room and rest. It will start tomorrow."
"Yes." The soldiers put the dining chairs and dining tables back in place, and walked in front of the bandaks and others in groups, and said goodbye to them before leaving the restaurant.
"Let's go back to rest, too." Bandak turned to Able after sending Kerry away.
"You can't do it, you still have to drink medicine." Eber glanced at Bandak and reminded: "I have given the medicine to the back kitchen clerk, and now the medicine should be cooked."
"By the way, I almost forgot this." Bandak patted his head and responded: "Thank you, when did you give the pharmacy to the clerk?"
"While you are still changing clothes," Able said: "This is just a trivial matter. It is most important that you rush to drink medicine now. Brother, don't forget that there is a countdown bomb in your body."
"OK." Bandak nodded with a smile: "Then I will go to the kitchen first."
"Um." Able walked a while before turning around and nodding to him. After seeing Bandak turned downstairs, he walked to the door of the guest room. Raised his hand and knocked gently on the door.
"Who?" Kant's voice reached Able's ear through the crack of the door.
"His Royal Highness, I am Able." Able replied.
"Wait a minute." Kant walked slowly to the entrance and opened the door lock. After seeing that the person standing outside the door was indeed Ebble, he turned back to his previous position in confidence and asked Ebble, "What about Bandak?"
"He now estimates to drink medicine at the coffee shop in the lobby." Able replied.
"Well." Kant nodded and said, "It's up to you to remind him. Otherwise, with his memory, it's almost impossible to take medicine on time."
"Your Highness really knows the command too well." Able chuckled and walked to Kant's side: "His Royal Highness, why haven't you returned to your room to rest yet?"
"Today has almost rested." Kant shook his head and said: "There are many things to do tomorrow, I have to prepare in advance. By the way, do you tell the soldiers what the next task is?"
"Well, I said something roughly." Able nodded. "They have returned to the room to rest now, presumably to save energy for tomorrow's task."
"Well, you have to rest early too. It's been a long day out there today." Kant lowered his head and asked with peace of mind after hearing Able's answer.
"His Royal Highness, please take a rest early." Able did not disturb Kant's preparations, but left a word and turned into his bedroom.
After hearing the door closing in the bedroom, Kant put down his pen and ink, thinking about it quietly.
After a while, Bandak also went outside the door. After Kant heard his familiar cough, he consciously stood up and walked to the door to open the door for the other party.
"His Royal Highness, why are you still in the main hall?" Bandak asked in doubt after entering the door.
"I can't fall asleep, I plan to use this time to sort out the news in my hand. After all, you will start to perform tasks in the town tomorrow." Kant poured himself a pot of hot tea and returned to the tea table with the teapot , Replied.
"It's really hard work." Bandak sat down at the tea table and said, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
Kant looked up at him with a smile, and said: "You only need to worry about the problem of being unaffordable in the streets tomorrow. I just do a little sorting out."
"I heard Able say that sometimes he will see you still working until late at night." Bandak asked worriedly: "His Royal Highness, we worry about your body."
"It's okay." Kant pointed to his chest and said, "If my body can't hold up, it will tell me."
"Well." Bandak nodded silently, his eyes unstoppable.
"Okay, don't sit here with me. Hurry back to the house and rest." Kant said: "Aren't you taking medicine now? The effect of the medicine will also fluctuate according to the body's daily routine. This, You have to pay more attention to yourself."
"Yes." Bandak replied with the bitter taste of the potion, and said with a mouthful: "However, this medicine is really bitter. I almost couldn't swallow it."
"Many people suffer much more than these medicines in order to survive." Kant asked: "You can't delay, you have to take the medicine on time every day. I will let Abel oversee you."
"Yes." Bandak smiled slightly. "Then I will not disturb your majesty."
"Huh." Kant didn't raise his head, and nodded gently in response.
After Bandak left, the data in hand was almost sorted out by Kant. Kant walked to the window of the main hall and looked down at the street view: most of the portals on this street were self-employed hotels. There are not many merchants wandering the streets. Moreover, it is already close to early morning, most people still returned to the temporary hotel.
Kant looked up at the volcano in the distance. From his perspective, the whole volcano was taken into account.
In contrast to the dark town streets, the volcano's mid-mountainside is always brightly lit at night. The Goblin Kingdom is not in that light. Their territory is in the south of the mountain, standing on the site at the foot of the mountain. It is impossible to observe the movement of the Goblin family.
Kant stood in front of the window for a long time. When a cold wind came, he wrapped his cotton gown tightly.
The evening breeze in the early spring night was still a bit cold. Kant lowered his eyes, extinguished the candlestick, and walked back to his bedroom.
Chapter 851: The Innkeeper’s Invitation
Early the next morning, Able and Bandak got up early. Responsible for waking up the rest of the soldiers.
After washing up, Bandak rushed out of the room door, found the room where the soldiers lived, and knocked on the door.
Able fell behind him, picked up Kant's summary table on the tea table the night before, and walked out the door.
Kant was still asleep at this time, until two hours later, a waiter walked to the door of the guest room and knocked the door.
"Who?" Kant was suddenly awakened from his sleep, and his mood became irritable. After getting up, he walked to the entrance and stopped, asking with some impatience.
"Master Kang Kangde?" The waiter answered timidly outside the door: "There are letters from the goblin country."
"Oh." Kant immediately got up after hearing the word "Goblin". Open the door and reach out to the waiter: "Give me."
"Yes." The waiter carefully put the newly arrived letter in his hands and responded.
"You have worked hard." 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, "Master Kang Kang De, do I need to prepare breakfast for you? Although, it's almost noon now"
"No, I'll go downstairs for lunch later." Kant hurriedly checked the contents of the letter and said to the waiter: "Please go slowly."
The "good" waiter responded softly after seeing the door of the guest room being shut in front of him with a "bang!"
When Kant walked back to the main hall, he glanced at the clock hanging in the entrance: it was indeed twelve noon.
After tearing open the envelope with bare hands, Kant finally let out a sigh of relief after reading roughly what Gilbert responded to in the letter, and went to the bathroom to start washing.
Gilbert's response was the same as Kant had pre-selected in his mind: He promised that Tao would arrange soldiers in the city to assist Kant and others in surveillance, and would pay more attention to the news from the monitoring office.
This animal trainer was involved in the matter with the internal staff of the inspectorate, which seemed to surprise Gilbert. So I wrote this specifically in the letter.
After washing his face, Kant took the letter from Gilbert in his arms, walked out of the room, and went to the restaurant to dine.
The service of the restaurant is divided into ordering and self-service.
Kant walked to the ordering area and invited the waiter to record the menu. Then I chose a location by the window and waited quietly.
It is an hour or two before lunch, and there are only a few people in the huge restaurant. Each occupies a better-positioned dining table.
Kant didn't like to eat in the face of strangers. So I walked to the empty table and sat down. Looking at the scenery on the horizon, passing the time before lunch.
I don't know when, there is only one person on the table, and there is another person.
Kant frowned slightly, and looked at the half-orc sitting opposite him: he found that this person was familiar, and when the other person spoke, he immediately recognized the identity of the other person.
"Master Kant, what a coincidence." The innkeeper smiled and said: "When I walked into this restaurant, I noticed that you were there. I thought about whether I could have a lunch with you."
"Of course." Kant responded with a smile: "After all, it's rare to see your boss in the hotel."
"What's so rare?" The innkeeper waved his hand with a smile and asked, "How are you, Lord Kant? What about Lord Bandak and Lord Ebble?"
"They went out for something." Kant replied briefly.
"I heard that Your Highness has brought a lot of business to our hotel." The hotel changed the subject and continued: "The environment of our hotel can only be regarded as passable. You can rest assured that the soldiers will be stationed. It is indeed our honor."
"This is also because the environment of the hotel is really good." Kant said: "Moreover, I still hope to be closer to the soldiers."
"Well," the innkeeper said, "I have been busy outside these days, and it's a shame that Phillip is greeting several people on my behalf."
"Nothing." Kant looked into the semi-open kitchen, his steak humming in the pan.
"Master Kant, are there any arrangements for today?" The innkeeper glanced at Kant's face and suggested, "It happens that I have free time and I can take you to the city to transfer."
"Is that right?" Kant put his eyes back on the hotel owner and asked unexpectedly: "If the boss is willing to act as a tour guide, I will naturally be very happy."
"That's all right." The innkeeper grinned and said, "After we finished the meal, we set off."
"Okay." Kant nodded and agreed: "Take care of it."
It didn’t take long for Kant’s steak set to be served on the table. The innkeeper instructed the waiter to get a red wine from the wine cellar.
Talk to Kant while drinking and eating vegetables.
After lunch, Kant noticed that the hotel owner had always controlled the rhythm on the table. Such traits are very common in businessmen. Since Kant was born, he has dealt with countless businessmen, and he has become familiar with this process.
"Master Kant, let's go." The innkeeper suggested to Kant after drinking his last bite.
"But don't you rest for a while?" Kant said worriedly.
He had been sitting idle for a while while waiting for the hotel owner. If the hotel owner intends to leave immediately after dinner, the post-meal exercise may put a burden on his body.
"Adult, don't worry." The innkeeper said understandably: "My stomach has long been unburdened by the dinner of these years. Making full use of time is more important than this."
"Okay, then." Kant did not continue to persuade, but agreed with the hotel owner's approach and nodded.
The two went outside the door of the hotel and got on the carriage exclusively owned by the hotel owner.
"Although the town is not big, there are quite a few places for people to visit." The innkeeper sat in the carriage and introduced Kant: "Today, by this carriage, I can take your Highness around."
"What's interesting about you?" Kant asked.
"It depends on personal preference. If it comes to a place that meets the identity of His Royal Highness Kant," said the innkeeper, "There are only three or four. First, I will take your Highness to the memorial in the city. The history of the town Treasures are all hidden there."
"Historical treasure?" Kant asked in surprise after hearing the words.
The realm where God came
"Yeah, although the history of this town is not long." The hotel owner saw Kant interested and explained in detail: "But because there are various ethnic roamers, the legendary story created in hundreds of years is enough. Rich."
"Well," Kant nodded. "I'm really interested in this aspect. Your boss must have a good vision."
"Hehe," the hotel owner smiled and said with a smile: "It's not a good sight, but this pavilion is really worth seeing. And the newcomers on the island are not very familiar with this piece, so I want to introduce you to your highness. Look."
"Thank you for your invitation." Kant replied politely.
The innkeeper told the driver the address of the destination before he got on the bus. After an hour and a half of continuous advance, the carriage stopped in front of a magnificent building.
During this period, Kant kept looking out the window and saw many familiar faces in the army. Observation of the discovery of Karadia and the elves has become active. It was not until the people on both sides of the road became scarcer that they looked away.
"His Royal Highness, we are here." The innkeeper said to Kant.
Kant nodded, followed behind the hotel owner, and walked out of the carriage. With the cooperation of the groom, he walked off the carriage.
When he first saw the appearance of the pavilion, Kant thought he was in front of a classical palace.
"This is the most valuable building in the town, because the project is so vast. When it was built, I did not choose to build it with the business district." The hotel owner led Kant to the hall of the development hall and introduced him: "And, he The most valuable thing is not the appearance we have seen before, or the inner decoration."
"So what?" Kant looked at the innkeeper's face, curious.
The innkeeper mysteriously pointed to the marble floor under their feet and said, "The most valuable thing is in the underground of this pavilion. The rarest treasures in the pavilion are all sealed and stored in the basement. We are on this ground The exhibition hall can only see unreal images and some data."
"Is it forbidden to enter or leave the basement for sightseeing?" Kant continued to ask.
"Well." The innkeeper replied: "Only the leaders of dwarves, gnomes and goblins have the right to enter and leave. This is a contract that was made hundreds of years ago. But the exhibits on the ground are enough for us to appreciate. Yes. Some people regard the study of the history of Kojima as their main business, and have spent most of their lives in this pavilion, but they have not been able to understand the past of these objects in every way."
The hotel owner walked in front of Kant and showed him the sightseeing process in this pavilion.
"When this pavilion was originally built, what kind of place was it used for?" Kant placed his hands in front of a transparent glass cabinet in accordance with the method taught by the hotel owner. The image of the object appeared in front of his eyes and looked carefully, it turned out to be a jade flute. The text emerging beside Yu Xiao records the history of such instruments in detail.
"Well," the innkeeper thought for a while, and said: "There are many kinds of sayings on the island, one of the most common is that this venue was originally used as a habitat for gods when it was built. This is It comes from the mouth of the angels, so the credibility is much stronger than other schools. Everyone regards this as the orthodox origin of the pavilion."
"God?" Kant looked at the innkeeper suspiciously. The emotion in his eyes seemed to confirm to him: the he said was the kind of existence mentioned in common sense.
"Yes." The innkeeper nodded hurriedly. "It's the gods. I heard that the of the earth-Sol and the of peace-Frey have been here."
"How do you know?" Kant tried to understand the facts spoken by the innkeeper and hesitated.
"Old people who have seen the gods said, but that was the story more than two hundred years ago." The innkeeper recalled while stating: "We still need people to record the scene at that time on the canvas. The painting's The image can be seen in the deputy hall."
"Can you show me?" Kant asked.
"Of course." The hotel owner readily agreed: "Since I have come to the exhibition hall, I have to take a look at it anyway."
"Thank you." After thanking Kant, he followed the footsteps of the hotel owner and walked to another exhibition hall beside the main hall.
"Look." When the hotel owner entered the side hall, he activated the video switch with his hand.
A huge magic circle appeared in front of the two, and the light in the whole room was instantly sucked away.
The room was dark, the circle in the air began to slowly rotate, Kant took a deep breath, quietly waiting for the image to appear.
"Huh--" After a loud noise, the magic circle burst into a golden light.
Kant's vision became brighter, and a huge picture was presented in front of him.
"It's beautiful." Kant looked at the portrait depicted in the picture and couldn't help sighing.
The golden light from the scroll covered his entire body, and Kant felt his mind suddenly cleared by the golden light. A warm feeling hit the whole body.
Although only the scene where Sol is eating is drawn in the scroll, the curves that outline Sol's body shape can't help anyone who sees it.
The hotel owner standing aside was also immersed in the scroll.
The two stayed in the side hall for half an hour before leaving reluctantly.
When closing the door, Kant said with regret: "If you can personally look at the gods, UU reading www.uukanshu.com can be regarded as no regrets in this life."
For a person who has no religious belief, saying this proves that Kant has been attracted to the scene just now.
"It's just a pity that it was the only time a came on this land." The innkeeper shook his head and sighed.
"Well." Kant nodded. "It's really regrettable."
"Perhaps you really shouldn't have brought your majesty to visit this scene so early." The innkeeper said afterwards: "Now the only thing in the museum that can attract your majesty, there is only one place."
"What?" Kant was now immersed in the beauty of the picture scroll, and after hearing the words of the hotel owner, he looked up and asked.
"Please follow me." The innkeeper said mysteriously.
Kant followed the hotel owner with a suspicious look, and followed the carpet in the main hall to the end of the exhibition hall.
At the end of the pavilion is an altar, on which stands three large crystals. Just look at it, you can know that it is a cheap alternative.
