Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 857: News from the waiter

After dinner, Abel and Kant returned to the guest room first. As for Bunduk, he had to go to fetch medicine, so he went down the stairs and went to the kitchen on the first floor.

Abel followed closely behind Kant and followed him into the guest room and closed the door.

Kant drank a lot of wine during dinner, and his body seemed to be swaying. Abel quickly helped him sit down and handed him a teapot and a Teacup. He said, “Your Highness, you seem to be drunk. Drink some tea to slow down.”

“Thank you,”Kant nodded and agreed. He took the teapot and Teacup and poured himself a cup of tea. He raised it to his mouth and slowly drank it.

Abel breathed a sigh of relief and sat down beside Kant. He said, “Your Highness, do you feel that Bunduk’s status was a little strange when he arrived before dinner?”

“Is it strange?”Kant raised his eyebrows and asked in puzzlement.

“Yes.”Abel immediately nodded. “We received a big piece of news today. If it were the usual bunduk, he would jump to the ceiling in excitement. “But his reaction was too cold.”

“You say that, it seems a little...”Kant recalled and nodded. “Why don’t we wait for Bunduk to come back and ask him if something happened?”

“Yes.”Abel thought for a moment and nodded.

The two sat at the tea table and waited quietly for a while. However, they never heard the sound of Bunduk knocking on the door.

“Abel, you’ve been watching every time Bunduk drank the medicine recently, right?”Kant asked.

“I’ve only seen him drink it once. In the days after that, he went to fetch the medicine and drank it by himself,”Abel replied. “But in my impression, he drank the medicine quite quickly every time. Why did he come back so slowly this time?”

“I think...”before Kant could finish his words, there was a knock on the door.

“He’s back,”Abel stood up and said to Kant. Then, he walked towards the entrance and unlocked the door.

Surprisingly, it was not Bunduk who was standing outside the door. Instead, it was a pale attendant.

“Lord Abel, Lord Kant! Not Good!”The attendant said in a trembling voice. “Lord Bunduk is poisoned.”

“Poisoned? !”Abel immediately pushed the waiter away and stood by the railing of the corridor to look at the hall.

The hall on the first floor was in chaos. The waiters in the shop surrounded the door of the kitchen in panic. “...”

“Take me to take a look.”Abel grabbed the collar of the waiter beside him and ordered.

“Yes, yes, yes.”The waiter nodded nervously and led Abel downstairs.

When he reached the stairs, Abel suddenly thought of Kant, who was still inside. He raised his head and looked at the door of the guest room. He had left in a hurry, so the door was still open, and there was no sign of Kant at the entrance.

“Strange...”Abel muttered quietly.

King Kant should have known that Bunduk was poisoned and fell to the ground. Why didn’t he have any reaction.

The information in his mind became a mess because of this discovery. Abel’s figure couldn’t help but freeze on the spot.

“Lord... Lord Abel, What’s Wrong?”The attendant noticed Abel’s actions and turned around to ask nervously.

Abel raised his head from his deep thoughts and frowned at the orcs attendant. He noticed that his forehead was covered in sweat, so he asked curiously, “Why Are You So Nervous?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Abel put his right hand on the attendant’s shoulder. The moment he touched him, he could feel the attendant’s body trembling.

“Because... because... Lord Banda... ke fainted.”The attendant shifted his gaze to Abel’s arm and answered hesitantly.

“How did he faint? Did you see it?”Abel continued to ask. The grip on his shoulder also became stronger.

“I. . . I. . . I don’t know. I just...”the attendant averted his gaze and replied hesitantly.

Seeing that the attendant was unable to say anything for a long time. A silver light flashed in Abel’s eyes, he clapped his hands and said, “Bunduk fainted. I need to find a few more people to take care of him with me. I’ll go to the soldier’s room first to ask. “Before we arrive, please call a carriage for US and send more people to look after him.”

“But this...”the waiter’s expression became anxious.

Abel did not continue to pay attention to him. Instead, he turned around and rushed to the corridor on the third floor.

When he reached the third floor, Abel knocked on the doors of every guest room, but he did not receive any response.

“Where are the soldier? Where did you take them?”Abel shouted at the waiter standing at the corner of the stairs.

The waiter came back to his senses and saw Abel who was rushing towards him. A look of fear appeared on his face, and he started running.

Just as Abel jumped down the stairs and was about to chase after him, he was stopped by a familiar voice.

“Abel?”Standing at the entrance of the restaurant on the second floor, Bunduk looked at Abel who flew past him and called out.

“Bunduk?”Abel immediately stopped and walked in front of Bunduk, he said, “The waiters in this inn are indeed dishonest. Just now, they wanted to use the news that you were poisoned to deceive me. Where are the soldier? Are they with you?” f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦

“The soldiers are staying in the dining room.”For a moment, Bunduk did not understand what Abel meant, he said in puzzlement, “The waiters in the inn said that you and His Majesty wanted us to stay here and not go out. “However, after all the dishes were eaten, you still did not appear in the dining room. I couldn’t help but come out to check out the situation.”

“Fortunately, you came out. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have thought that these guys had trapped you here.”Abel let out a long breath, “The people in the inn should be looking for an opportunity to ambush me and Your Highness while you weren’t paying attention, and then use our lives to blackmail you.”

After meeting with Bunduk, Abel had already come up with a rough logic. At this time, his tone was filled with anger and dissatisfaction.

“Why did the inn people treat us like this?”Bunduk widened his eyes slightly and asked, “Also, What About Your Highness?”

“I don’t know what they are thinking. “Your Highness has also traveled alone with the inn’s owner before. “If they are members of the Dark Side organization and want us to obediently surrender, then they should have acted then. ‘Your Highness didn’t follow me out. I don’t know if I’ve noticed something wrong from the start, but I’ll rush back to take a look. ‘quickly gather the soldier. ‘We’ll rush out!’Abel instructed.

Chapter 858: the dark clouds that pervade the inn

“Alright!”Bunduk immediately agreed. He turned around and walked towards the dining room.

Abel also walked towards Kant’s guest room without any delay.

The guest room’s door had already been closed, and an ominous premonition appeared in Abel’s heart.

He walked to the door, slammed it with his palm, and shouted, “King Kant! King Kant! Are you still there? Quickly open the door for me, I am Abel.”

Abel leaned his ears to the side, leaning against the door, waiting for the movement inside the door.

After the sound of tables and chairs moving, the door lock of the guest room was slowly opened. Abel held his breath, and cautiously hid his body behind the wall.

Creak — the door was opened by the size of a crack.

“Abel?”After hearing Kant’s voice, Abel, who was squatting by the wall, let out a sigh of relief. He stood up and replied, “Your Highness, the inn is no longer safe. Let’s follow the soldier and rush out.”

After Kant saw Abel’s face, he opened the door with ease and let the other party enter the room.

“Bang!”The door was closed again. Abel looked at Kant in puzzlement and said, “Your Highness, we...”

“We’re not leaving.”Kant walked to the teahouse and sat down. He said calmly.

“The people in this inn are very dangerous. Just now, they tried to kidnap us... I don’t know what they will do next,”Abel explained anxiously.

“Don’t jump to conclusions yet.”Kant waved his hand, “Even if there is a trap, it may not be planned by the people in the inn. “Now, the group of people who want to plot against us have failed. “They should be the ones who should be worried, not us.”

“Then, Your Highness, what do you mean?”Abel thought for a while and asked.

“Pin down the people in the hotel first and see what they will do next,”Kant said quietly. “Also, send someone to the monitoring station to inform them. Contact the GNOME management personnel and have them set up an ambush around the hotel.”

“Yes!”Abel nodded and agreed.

After receiving the order, Abel immediately turned around and left the guest room to contact Bunduk and the others.

The hall, which had been in chaos just now, became quiet again. At some point, the inn’s door had been closed by someone. Not only the teahouse, but even the kitchen and other places could not see a single person.

Abel met Bunduk, the human and ELF soldiers at the entrance of the restaurant.

The soldier was already in formation, and everyone’s expressions were not good.

“Abel, Why Are You Alone? Where’s Your Highness?”When Bunduk saw Abel appear alone, he nervously walked forward and asked.

“Your Highness said that we should continue to stay in this inn,”Abel explained. “Also, Your Highness believes that this operation was not organized by the people in the inn.”

“But the inn’s attendants were involved in this plan.”Bunduk was puzzled. “If it wasn’t for them, we wouldn’t be so easily fooled.”

“Sigh, in short, your Highness asked us to control the place for the time being. We shouldn’t have any conflicts with the people in this inn.”Abel sighed, he exhorted, “Now that the enemy is in the dark, we are in the light. It’s better to tell the soldier to be more careful.”

“Okay,”Bunduk agreed. Then he turned around and announced to the other soldier, “Everyone, set off together. Go to the hall on the first floor and conduct a search. “Remember to pay attention to the situation around you at all times. Stay close to your comrades by your side. Do not be alone. “Understood?”

“Yes!”The soldier replied in unison.

“I’ll bring the soldier downstairs. You can go and pick up your highness first,”Bunduk said to Abel. “There must be someone guarding your Highness.”

“Alright then. Be careful.”Abel nodded.

After seeing Abel leave, Bunduk directed the soldier to go down the stairs.

The accountant who usually stayed by the counter had disappeared.

Bunduk went to check the inn’s door. He found that the door was inserted from the inside.

Thinking of what Abel had said, Bunduk suddenly felt that this operation might be like what your Highness Kant had said: The inn’s people were not involved in this plan.

“Everyone, start searching. Five people form a small team. Not only here, but also the kitchen and the backyard. Go and take a look,”Bunduk ordered.

The soldier immediately spread out and followed the captain of their team to search everywhere.

After a while, they found something.

“Commander Bunduk!”A Croatian soldier stood in front of the counter and shouted.

“What’s Wrong?”Bunduk, who was guarding the door, immediately walked over and asked.

“Lord of the accounting department...”the soldier standing inside pointed at the wine cabinet under the counter and said hesitantly.

After hearing the word “Accounting department,”Bunduk immediately bent down to check. He found that the wine bottles were piled up on the floor, and the body of the accounting department was stuffed into the narrow space.

“Is he still breathing?”Bunduk raised his head and asked the soldier.

“No...”the soldier lowered his head and said.

Bunduk found three or four soldiers and moved the corpse of the accountant out of the wine pavilion. He placed it on the tea table.

The accountant was probably forced under the counter after he died. He didn’t know what kind of strength that person had to be able to do such an outrageous thing. Seeing that Fellett’s bones had already changed shape, Bunduk couldn’t help but frown, he said, “I’ll guard this gentleman’s body. You guys quickly search other places. Save as many as you can.”

“Yes.”The four or five soldier around the tea table lowered their heads and answered.

After the soldier dispersed, Bunduk took off his cloak and covered the entire body of the accountant. Then, he stood motionlessly by the tea table, waiting for news from the others.

At some point, Abel and Kant had already walked up to him. Bunduk said in a daze, “You’re here?”

“Who is this?”Abel asked solemnly.

“It’s the Inn’s cashier, Mr. Fellett,”Bunduk said word by word.

When Kant heard the name from Bunduk’s mouth, he could not help but frown.

“How did you find Him?”Kant asked after a moment of silence.

“The soldier found him at the place where the wine was hidden under the counter. When he was found, he was already dead,”Bunduk explained solemnly.

Abel walked forward and gently removed a corner of the cloak. After a glance, he quietly put down the cloak in his hand.

“In other places, did you find anything else?”Kant looked at Bunduk and asked.

“Not at the moment.”Bunduk shook his head and said.

Chapter 859: Nomads trapped in the cellar

Kant found a chair by the tea table and sat down, instructing the other two to go and help the soldier.

After Abel and Bunduk left, Kant’s gaze stopped on the body lying on the tea table.

A sorrowful expression appeared in Kant’s eyes.

His previous comment on the accounts room was not very good. He usually followed his own rules and kept a distance from the accounts room. Now, it seemed that his thoughts were indeed a little condescending.

When a person was still alive, being hated by others and being liked by others were fireworks in life. Because we belong to different people, I will hate you, like you, or ignore you. Those strong emotions will stimulate the vitality of life.

Human communication is like the process of exchanging labels. Kant did not regret his actions. With his experience, such a sudden accident would not allow him to overturn his logic.

He was just standing from the perspective of a guest in the hotel, and he had some sentimental associations with the corpse in front of him. He also revealed the emotions that a person should have when they were born.

After waiting for about half an hour, Bunduk and Abel returned to Kant’s front. They reported, “Your Highness, the people in the inn are all locked in the cellar in the backyard. Most of them are unconscious.”

“Take me to have a look.”Kant stood up and replied.

“Yes.”After Bunduk arranged his subordinates, he nodded to Kant.

The three of them immediately rushed to the backyard of the inn. The soldier was gathered at the entrance of the cellar and carried the unconscious inn attendants to the courtyard one by one. f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋ｎ૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com

“How are the unconscious people doing?”Kant asked the soldier who was carrying the man.

“Still... still breathing.”The cellar was passed up and down by a wooden ladder. The soldier carried the attendants, who were half a head taller than him, back to the ground. He was extremely tired. Facing Kant’s question, the soldier could only answer, out of breath.

“That’s good.”Abel nodded. “Bring the people in the inn to a place with ventilation. I’ll come and help you in a while.”

“Yes.”The soldier nodded.

“This is bad.”The expression on Bunduk’s face was not optimistic, at this moment, he said, “We still have no way to confirm whether that group of villains in charge of planning has escaped out of the inn. They have gathered the waiters and the inn’s guests here. If they take advantage of the chaos and stay inside...”

Abel secretly felt that things were not good. He walked to the entrance of the cellar and shouted, “Everyone! Stop!”

This sudden burst of shouting stunned everyone, and they stopped what they were doing.

Abel paused and continued, “We will only rescue the inn’s guests and waiters. All guests must show the key to the room they are staying in, and all waiters must obtain the approval of their peers.”

“Yes!”The soldier stood up and agreed.

“Alright, everyone, continue with the rescue,”Abel said.

After receiving the order, the soldier began to interrogate the identity of the attendants and the guests one by one. They also searched the fainted person. Only the person with the key could be brought out of the cellar by the soldier.

Abel walked back to Kant and Bunduk’s side.

Bunduk glanced at him and said, “You’re really amazing. As soon as I thought of this, you immediately came up with a corresponding plan and stood up in time to announce it to the soldier.”

“Your ‘terrible’is the key. Before that, I didn’t even notice what the problem was,”Abel replied with embarrassment.

“The plan that Abel came up with is not bad. Even if there are omissions, you don’t have to worry about the lives of the innocent people,”Kant said approvingly.

After the interrogation, the speed of the rescue was obviously slower. However, after the rescued people woke up, they quickly joined the rescue team. The process of the mission became smoother.

“How many people’s identities are unverifiable now?”Kant personally walked to the entrance of the cellar and asked a captain who was in charge of commanding.

“Your Highness, the number of people whose identities are unknown now is about eight,”the captain replied.

Kant and Bunduk looked at each other and told the soldier, “Tell the soldier to be careful. It’s best if two people go in together and look after each other. It’s easier to carry people.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”The soldier nodded.

Beside the entrance of the cellar stood many nomads who had escaped from the cellar. Kant squeezed in the crowd. It was really not convenient. After he finished explaining everything, he immediately pulled himself out with the help of Bunduk and Abel.

“Save me! I’m really not the kind of bad person you think I am!”A shout came from the cellar, causing the people who were busy in the courtyard to immediately shut their mouths.

Kant and the other two also locked their eyes on the cellar entrance. They were waiting for the following conversation.

“But you said you don’t know anyone here, how can I let you out so easily?”The soldier’s voice sounded a little anxious.

“I’m just a delivery man. It’s my first time here today, and I don’t know anyone. Who Do you want me to find to prove it to you?”The man who was confronting the soldier replied.

“You said you’re a delivery man?”The soldier’s tone became relaxed.

Kant frowned and immediately walked to the side of the cellar while Bunduk and Abel walked in front to open the way for him.

When they reached the entrance of the cellar, Kant ordered the soldier in the cellar coldly, “All of you, withdraw.”

“Your Highness?”The soldier who was interrogating raised his head and looked up.

“Quick!”Bunduk also ordered.

“Yes.”Soldier after soldier walked towards the stairs at the entrance of the cellar.

“You want to leave? ! You have to stay with us no matter what.”The Beastman who was interrogated just now had a fierce look in his eyes as he said hatefully.

The seven or eight nomads who were squatting by the wall also responded to the man’s words. They picked up the farming tools in the cellar and thrust towards the soldier by the stairs.

“They can’t react in time. You Two, go down and help them.”The moment Kant heard the man’s voice, he ordered the two people beside him.

Bunduk and Abel looked at each other and nodded to each other. They immediately climbed up the wooden ladder and sneaked into the cellar. They walked in front of the soldier and protected him behind them.

An undead roared and pounced in front of Bunduk. The undead axe in his hand was swung to Bunduk’s neck.

Abel was currently entangled with another assassin, but his line of sight was also attracted by the battle axe. he shouted, “Bunduk! Be careful!”

After all, Bunduk’s body was completely devoid of combat power.

Chapter 860: Battle that has come to an end

Faced with the battle axe in front of him, Bunduk took a deep breath and calmly observed the direction of the axe blade.

Just as the Tomahawk was about to cut his throat, Bunduk took a step back. He jumped on the spot and gave the undead a horizontal kick.

The undead closed his eyes tightly and prepared to receive the heavy blow.

However, Bunduk restrained his strength and retreated to his original spot. The soldier behind him rushed forward and used the rope to restrain the undead.

After using magic to knock the assassin to the ground, Abel immediately handed over his opponent to the other soldier. He rushed towards Bunduk’s side.

“Are You Alright?”Abel asked with concern.

“I’m fine.”Bunduk shook his head as usual and said, “Although my strength can’t compare to before, my body is already used to the battle’s status, so there’s nothing to be afraid of.”

“It’s good that you’re not injured.”Abel heaved a sigh of relief, he blamed himself, “I almost forgot that you’re still sick. I thought that you should be fine. It wasn’t until the undead charged at you that I thought of this.”

“Most undead are a little clumsy. I can handle them.”Bunduk shook his head and said, “You don’t have to worry.”

“I can’t let you make a move next time.”Abel was still worried and said firmly.

When the conversation ended, the situation in the battlefield gradually calmed down.

The soldier brought the captives out of the cellar and let Kant interrogate them.

The man who launched the attack just now was brought in front of Kant. His face was full of unwillingness.

Kant raised his hand, indicating for the beast man to look at him. He asked, “Who sent you here? How did you sneak in?”

“No one instructed us. We want to rest in this inn.”When the man replied, his eyes were filled with a trace of ridicule. Kant couldn’t help but frown.

“Rest? Didn’t you just say that you’re here to deliver vegetables?”Kant stared at the man and asked.

“So What? I’m just a delivery man. Can’t I have a cup of tea in this inn and rest for a while?”The man said stubbornly, “How can you say that I’m Not Innocent?”

“What do you mean?”? “Let the other attendants hear it.”. “Ask any of them if there are any rules in this inn for outsiders to deliver food.”Kant snorted coldly and said, “Your lies are already riddled with holes.”. “What do you want me to say?”

“I...”The Beastman was speechless by Kant’s words and immediately fell silent.

“The people from the monitoring station are almost outside the door. I think they are more suitable to interrogate you people.”Kant shook his head, “Have you entered the monitoring station before?”? “Judging from your actions, you probably have. “After all, I also know that it’s not easy to be a ‘clean’killer like you.”. “But don’t worry. I’ll let you have a good rest this time.”

“You want to use your connections on the island to tie us up?”? “Nomads on the island, I advise you not to worry about this. Most of the nomads on this island have two faces.”. “Don’t trust your so-called friends too much,”the beast man said coldly.

“This... is not what you need to worry about,”Kant said with a smile. “All soldier, escort these people to the hall. Wait for the Lord of the monitoring station to come and collect them.”

“Yes!”The soldier had long disliked this Beastman who was full of arrogance. After Kant gave the order, they swarmed forward and beat the man up a few times in the jostling.

When the orc man arrived at the lobby, his face was already covered in bruises.

Everyone sat quietly for a while while they waited, until there was a knock on the door.

“Quickly open the door,”Kant ordered a soldier beside him.

Hearing this, the soldier immediately walked to the front door of the inn and took the door down. He invited the GNOME troops to come in.

A gnome soldier who was familiar with him walked up and greeted, “King Kant, I’m sorry we’re late. Are You Okay?”

“I’m fine. Did you encounter any trouble on the way here?”Kant looked at the clock on the wall and asked.

“Nothing. I was delayed by a temporary mission,”the soldier replied apologetically. “It’s okay.”

“We have already subdued the nomads who broke into the inn. Please escort them back to the monitoring station for interrogation,”Kant changed the topic and said.

“Are any of the people in the inn injured?”The GNOME Soldier confirmed.

“Most of the people locked in the cellar are not important. They will probably wake up soon. Our people are treating them.”Kant paused, he continued, “The one who was killed was the accountant of this inn. I hope you can solve this matter properly and give an explanation to the people who died innocently.”

“We will do our best.”The GNOME raised his head and glanced at Chen Heng’s corpse on the tea table. He nodded in agreement.

The nomads whose identities were unknown were handed over to the GNOME soldier. Kant personally sent the GNOME troops to the door.

Fellett’s body was also carried away by the GNOME soldier, leaving only Bunduk’s cloak on the tea table.

As he watched the Gnome soldier leave, Abel asked Kant, “Your Highness, the inn’s owner probably doesn’t know about this yet, right? Fellett’s body was taken away just like that...”

“Don’t worry, the inn’s owner is a rational person. He should know why Fellett’s body is in the hands of the inspectors.”Kant took a deep breath, waved his hand, and said.

“Can we still stay in this inn?”Bunduk asked the question in his heart.

“There’s no other way. These people are targeting us. No matter where we go, they will follow us on their own. Let’s continue staying here,”Kant replied.

“If this matter is spread by the guests on the street, the business of this inn will not be optimistic,”Abel said worriedly. “So it’s better for us to continue staying here. “We can’t force the boss into a corner.”

The three of them stood in front of the inn for a long time. After a while, they walked back to the lobby.

The people in the inn had almost recovered their health status. However, after knowing that the accountant had passed away, everyone was shrouded in a sad atmosphere.

Kant arranged for the soldier to put all the tea tables together and said to everyone, “Everyone, sit down. Let’s have a good chat. I still have many things to confirm with everyone.”

After hearing this, the waiters and chefs in the shop found a seat and sat down according to Kant’s instructions.
