Chapter 809: Nomads on the coast

“Don’t listen to Bunduk’s nonsense. I feel much better after I woke up.”Kant smiled and waved his hand. “I don’t need you to take care of me together.”

After hearing Kant’s words, Abel heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Fortunately, the dragon doctor’s medical skills are brilliant. It’s impossible for the two of us to make his majesty’s fever subside so quickly.”

“Before we set off today, I wanted to thank that doctor, but I didn’t find him in the castle,”Bunduk recalled.

“It must have taken a lot of doctor’s time yesterday.”Kant heard from Bunduk that the doctor had personally ordered the kitchen to prepare the meal, he guessed, “There aren’t many people in this castle. When I fainted yesterday, the dragon people should have been shocked.”

“Not only them, but we were also shocked.”Bunduk glanced at Kant and said, “Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.”

“Hehe.”Kant chuckled. “I’m sorry to have made you worry. My body is very healthy now.”

“We should still bring the medical soldier with us.”Abel frowned and said, “None of the three of us know medical skills. It’s really too dangerous to travel in this place where the climate and environment are completely unfamiliar.”

“It doesn’t matter. We will meet up with the soldier soon anyway,”Kant comforted him. As he said this, he raised his hand and lifted the curtain, looking at the scenery outside the carriage.

Bunduk was sitting directly opposite Kant. He also glanced at it, a pterosaur flashed across his sight and said, “I didn’t expect the Dragon Clan’s estate on the island to be so big. I wonder if we can get out of here today.”

“It is indeed big.”Kant nodded and said, “It seems that their estate is almost surrounding the volcano.”

“After all, they are the ‘guardians’of this island,”Abel said. “With the protection of the Dragon Clan’s forces, the nomads living near the volcano should be living quite well.”

“It’s a mixed blessing.”Bunduk shook his head and said, “The Dragon Clan’s forces are too monopolistic, so the nomads near the volcano must follow the rules they set.”

“Yes.”Kant nodded and said, “This fight should be considered as some nomads on the island putting pressure on the dragon race. “However, I don’t think they can subvert this era with the dragon race as the center. “After all, judging from the actions of the dragon race in the past few days, they don’t seem to be slacking off at all.”

“Yes.”Abel nodded in agreement with Kant’s point of view.

Amidst the bumpy carriage, the three of them quickly lay down and fell asleep in the carriage.

It wasn’t until sunset that the coachman hired by the Dragon Clan stopped the carriage in front of a slope and woke up the three of them who were still napping.

“My Lords, we can only stop here today.”The Coachman lifted the curtain and called out softly towards the carriage.

“Where is this place?”Abel quickly woke up after the carriage stopped. He asked the coachman with his drowsy eyes.

“We’re almost at the border,”the coachman replied. “But there’s no hotel here. I guess I’ll have to trouble you all to stay in the carriage for the night.”

“Got it. You’ve worked hard.”Bunduk woke up from the conversation and waved to the coachman. “Come in and warm yourself. It’s too cold outside.”

“Thank you, Lord,”the coachman said gratefully. He walked to the carriage and sat down. He put his purple hands in front of the stove.

“It’s almost march. Why is it still so cold?”Abel said as he rolled up the curtains that fluttered in the wind to the inside of the carriage.

“It’s okay.”The coachman rubbed his hands and answered, “It’s just that these higher places are colder. Those places on the coast should have turned green.”

“Not really,”bunduk replied, “We just rushed over from the coast two days ago. It’s also very cold there.”

“Two days?”The Coachman said in surprise.

“Oh, I forgot to tell you.”Bunduk patted his forehead and said, “It was the Dragon Tribe’s soldier who flew us over.”

“That’s Great.”The coachman said enviously, “It’s been a long time since I’ve returned to my home on the coast. “Because it takes at least two months to go back and forth. It’s too time-consuming, and many places on the road are too dangerous.”

“Mm.”Abel had a deep understanding of this point.

“You, have you settled down on this island?”Kant asked hesitantly.

The Coachman was like them, a common human. Humans didn’t have a fixed community on this island. It was hard to imagine that human nomads would settle down on such a small island.

“Yes, my wife is a crew member of a cruise ship in the harbor.”The coachman nodded. “She’s also a sea monster.”

“Do you… have children?”Bunduk couldn’t help but ask.

“No, but we adopted a sea monster and a young half-orcs. They are also our children,”the coachman thought for a moment and answered.

“You are really amazing,”Kant praised.

“There are many nomads living near the beach where the harbor is. Many of them are idlers like me. There are also some nomads who don’t want to join the forces of their own race. “Everyone comes from different races. In order to take care of each other, they gather together,”the coachman explained carefully. “When they see abandoned young children and so on, they will take them home to raise them.”

“I see.”Abel said, “Then why did you come to the vicinity of the volcano to be a Coachman?”

“Actually, I just wanted to return General Clayton’s favor.”The coachman said, “After waiting for the permit from the administrative bureau at the foot of the volcano, I was transferred here and have been working for the Dragon Clan.”

“General Clayton?”Bunduk asked.

“Ah, I forgot.”The Coachman held his forehead and said, “You can’t call young master Milad like that now. I’m sorry.”

Bunduk and Kant looked at each other, a hint of confusion in their eyes.

“Young Master Milad was in charge of the troops, right?”Abel asked tentatively. “The leader of the Dragon Clan who led the way for us seemed to have mentioned this matter before.”

“Yes.”The Coachman raised his head and looked at Abel. “At that time, the Dragon Clan’s troops were really in high spirits under Young Master Mirad’s command. Moreover, that was also the period when the island’s security was the best.”

When he said this, his pupils flickered with light, as if he was also a member of the Dragon Clan’s army.

“What happened after that?”Bunduk asked curiously.

“I don’t know what happened after that.”The Coachman shook his head and replied.

Chapter 810: carriage across the plains

The doubts on the faces of Kant and the other two became deeper.

“I heard that Young Master Milad is the appointed heir of the Dragon Clan.”Bunduk said, “But it seems that none of his generals are on this island anymore.”

“Where did you hear this news?”The Coachman asked in shock.

“It was all told to us by the leader of the Dragon clan that I mentioned before,”Kant answered frankly.

“I didn’t expect him to tell you so much.”. The Coachman lowered his head and said, “What I know is that young master Milad was seriously injured in a battle due to a mistake in his command caused by the internal conflicts of the troops. The ‘king’then sent all the general counselors overseas.”

“What does young master Milad think about this decision?”Kant asked.

“This… We don’t know.”The Coachman shook his head and said, “This matter involves too many people. We are just curious about the matter of many soldiers being sent overseas.”

“Yes.”Kant nodded and said, “No outstanding general will cherish his soldier. It’s a pity for those people under Young Master Milad.”

“But that was a long time ago.”The Coachman sighed. “Recently, Young Master Milad’s mind has probably been focused on the recent events on the island.”

“Recently, a lot of things have indeed happened on the island.”Abel nodded and said, “By the way, after chatting for so long, I only know that you are a human. May I know your name?”

“Flynn,”the coachman replied. “That’s what everyone usually calls me.”

“Hello, Flynn.”. “My Name Is Bunduk. I’m an officer from Caradia.”Bunduk continued with his introduction. “This is Lord Kant, the commander of Caradia. and the person who asked you his name is a general from the Elf Kingdom. His name is Abel.”

“Hello!”Every time Bunduk mentioned a person’s name, Flynn would lower his head to show respect.

“After chatting for so long, you must be hungry.”Kant took out a luggage bag from under his seat, he greeted Flynn. “In such cold weather, it doesn’t make sense to not have a good dinner. I have a lot of dry food here. I can give you a portion.”

“No, no need. Thank you, Your Majesty.”The groom quickly waved his hand and said, “We are always on the road for others, how could we forget to bring food?”

“It’s okay, didn’t you have to return from the small town after sending us there?”Kant smiled and advised, “We still have to save the food we bring with us.”

The groom glanced at Kant and saw that he was determined to insist. He had no choice but to agree. “Alright then. Thank you for Your Gift, Your Majesty.”

“It’s alright.”Kant shook his head and said.

After dinner, the few of them got down from the carriage and breathed in the fresh air in the fields.

“The stars in the sky are really bright.”Bunduk pointed at the dark blue night sky and said to the people beside him.

“Tomorrow should be a good day, right?”Abel took a deep breath and replied.

“Okay.”Bunduk nodded.

The Moon Rose Higher and higher, and a gust of cold wind blew across the plains. The four of them immediately went back into the carriage.

Because the carriage was not very spacious, that night, the coachman suggested that they watch the night from the driver’s seat.

Bunduk was worried about his safety, so he also walked out of the carriage and made a bunk beside the coachman. After the coachman fell asleep, he came to watch the second half of the night and took care of each other.

Kant also agreed to this arrangement.

This was their last night in the territory of the Dragon Clan.

The next morning, Kant and Abel woke up in the shaking carriage. Flynn and Bunduk had already packed up everything and rode their horses towards the border.

Hearing the movement in the carriage, Bunduk opened the door curtain in high spirits. He said to Abel, who was still not fully awake, “Abel, you’re right. The weather today is really much better.”

Kant was so annoyed by Bunduk’s loud voice that he sat up straight. He opened the curtain in the carriage and looked at the horizon.

He looked at the Blue Sky and the blue clouds, as well as the river that was shining under the sunlight. Kant’s mood was also freed from the dreary mood of the past few days. The corners of his mouth rose. “Spring is coming to the island.”

Abel handed Kant a biscuit and water. “Your Majesty, Here’s Your Breakfast.”

“Thank you.”Kant took the water, took a sip, and said to Abel.

“Flynn! When can we reach the foot of the volcano?”After breakfast, Abel walked out of the carriage, bathed in the sun, and asked Flynn, who was driving the horse.

“Tonight,”Flynn replied.

“That’s Great!”Abel took a deep breath and said, “I can finally sleep in the bed tonight.”

“Flynn, are you going to stay with US Tonight?”Bunduk handed a glass of water to Flynn and said.

“Yes, thank you.”Flynn took a sip carefully and answered, “I don’t think so. There are guests waiting for me in the town who are going out of the city. I guess I’ll have to sleep in another place tonight.”

“Why are you so busy?”Abel frowned and asked, “You don’t have time to rest, do you?”

“It’s okay,”Flynn said with a smile. “I think my current job is pretty good.”

Bunduk looked at the side of Flynn’s smiling face. His mouth was half open, but he still didn’t say anything.

Everyone chatted while traveling. When Flynn was tired, Abel would take the horsewhip from his hand. He would sit in the driving seat for him.

However, when Flynn recovered some of his strength, Abel would still consciously give up the driving seat under the watchful eyes of Bunduk and Kant.

“Don’t tell me you didn’t practice riding before you went to the battlefield,”Bunduk scolded Abel.

“This…”Abel was so embarrassed that he could not speak.

After all, during his training before enlisting in the army, the task of riding a horse almost prevented him from joining the troops.

In general, he was enthusiastic, but his skills could not be improved no matter what.

“I almost made you vomit,”Kant could not help but complain.

“… I’m sorry,”Abel was embarrassed under the Siege of the two.

“Hahaha,”Flynn laughed and glanced at the three of them. “You guys are really interesting.”

The three of them looked at each other because of the laughter, and finally laughed together.

Before the sun set, Flynn sent Kant and the others to the small town at the foot of the volcano.

“Aren’t you going in?”Bunduk stood on the ground and asked Flynn.

“The carriage can not enter the city at will. I have an appointment with the subsequent guests to wait for them here,”Flynn explained, “I wish you all a safe journey.”

“See you again if there’s a chance.”Kant smiled and waved at Flynn as he walked.

Chapter 811: the visit of the new Gnome King

After the gnome guarding the city checked the parcels they carried, they let them pass.

The three of them walked towards the main road in the city. On the way, they saw many gnome troops patrolling the streets.

“It seems that the gnome country has recovered well.”Abel nodded. “They’ve actually taken back the authority of this town.”

After hearing his words, Bunduk, who had never been here before, asked in surprise, “Is the town under the volcano managed by the Gnome?”

“No, no, no. It’s managed by the forces that live on the volcano. It’s just that in recent years, it’s the GNOME Tribe’s turn,”Abel explained.

“I heard that on the way to the volcano, you adopted a gnome as a captive,”Kant said. “That gnome is called Gilbert, right? It seems that it has helped you a lot.”

“Did Devitt mention him to you in the letter?”At the mention of Gilbert, a hint of a smile appeared on Abel’s lips, he replied, “He did help us a lot, but we were unable to realize the only thing he asked us to do.”

“What did he mention to You?”Kant continued to ask.

“It’s a very simple thing: take care of a soldier.”Abel’s tone became sad. “However, that soldier, like Claremont, has already buried his life in the deep sea during the sinking of the ship.”

“Does Gilbert know about this news?”Kant was silent for a moment before he asked softly.

Abel shook his head and replied, “After the incident, I haven’t sent him a letter. However, since the Dragon clan already knows about this news, Gilbert shouldn’t be too far away from knowing about this matter.”

“Since we have already arrived at this small town, you should also go find Gilbert and tell him about this incident.”Kant patted Abel’s back, “This should be one of the few things we can do for the soldier who sacrificed himself.”

“Yes, I will,”Abel agreed.

Abel brought Kant and Bunduk to stay in an inn that they had stayed in before.

Just as they were discussing whether they should take a walk on the streets, a Gnome Army rushed into the inn’s lobby. At the end of the group was Gilbert, who was dressed in brocade clothes.

Kant and Bunduk had never met Gilbert before. Just as they were guessing Gilbert’s identity, they saw Gilbert walking straight towards them, who were sitting in a corner.

“Long time no see, Abel.”Gilbert stood in front of Abel with a smile and greeted him.

“Long time no see, Gilbert.”Abel raised his head and looked back.

Kant winked at Bunduk, and Bunduk immediately laughed at Abel. “Abel, it seems that they came to find you on purpose. Let’s go take a walk on the street first. you two can chat slowly.”

Abel pursed his lips and nodded at Kant. “Okay. You two take care of yourselves.”

“Okay.”

Gilbert sat down next to Abel and looked at Kant and Kant walking towards the door. He asked, “Who are the two of them?”

“The lord of Caradia and the commander of the troops,”Abel introduced.

“Do you know why I came to find you?”Gilbert nodded and commanded the surrounding soldier to leave the room.

“I’m really sorry about what happened to Austin.”Abel lowered his head and replied.

“A few days ago, I heard the news of the sunken ship on the volcano. Before I could write to you, I heard that you were brought to their estate by the Dragon Clan.”Gilbert clenched his fists, trembling, he asked him, “Tell me, did something really happen to Austin?”

“Yes, his body has already been salvaged from Cumberland,”Abel said. “The funeral will be held in Drondheim, the main city of Caradia.”

“Why did this happen? !”Gilbert shouted. “Have you forgotten what you promised me?”

“The people in the troops rebelled. All the crew members who boarded the ship died and were crippled,”Abel explained. “Even Cremont…”

After hearing the news, Gilbert looked at Abel in disbelief and said, “Tell me the name of the person who rebelled. I will definitely make his life a living hell.”

“The soldier who rebelled has already committed suicide.”Abel’s shoulders had already collapsed, he stated, “After helping us lure out the members of the dark forces who were in charge of contacting him, he brought that person along and jumped off the ship.”

Gilbert placed his hand on his forehead. After taking a few deep breaths, he said, “How long have you been away from here? So many things have happened. Is it because you helped the midget clan?”

“Yes. After we walked out of the town, the dwarf clan set up an ambush on the outskirts of the city,”Abel recalled and said. “However, Devitt and Claremont’s soldier did not let them succeed.”

“So they bribed an insider and made a move on the cruise ship you were on.”Abel closed his eyes and said, “Where are you now?”

“We can only investigate layer by layer.”Abel sighed and said, “Now we only know that there is a member of the snake-woman clan named Kala who is in charge of this plot.”

“You don’t have any foundation on this island. “If we continue to investigate like this, we probably won’t be able to find out when the two sides start a war.”Gilbert stood up and said to Abel, “I will have my subordinates investigate this matter. “You just need to ensure your own safety.”

“The lord of Caradia came to this small island personally for this matter, and you want us to act as if nothing happened and quietly stay in this small town.”Abel shook his head, “It’s still too much.”

“Okay.”Gilbert thought for a moment and nodded. “If you really want to investigate, I Can’t Stop You. Let’s see who can find the person behind this first. Then, we’ll use the method we wish to use to get rid of them.”

After saying this, Gilbert left the inn with his troops.

At the inn’s entrance, he bumped into Kant and Bunduk, who had just returned from shopping. Gilbert took the initiative to greet Kant, “Hello, lord of Caradia. I am the new lord of the Gnome Tribe, Gilbert.”

“Hello, my name is Kant. This is the commander of Caradia’s troops, Bunduk,”Kant replied politely.

“Hello, Commander Bunduk.”Gilbert’s gaze moved from Kant to Bunduk. He said to him, “I don’t know if you remember that there is a soldier named Austin in your team?”

“I do.”Bunduk lowered his head slightly and replied, “He is an excellent soldier with a gentle personality and strong execution.”

Chapter 812: A Different Kind of accommodation experience

“HMM, it seems that we are talking about the same person.”Gilbert nodded and said, “I heard that his body has been transported back to your country. I will definitely visit him when I have the chance. We will meet again in the future.”

“Mm.”Kant and Bunduk both nodded to Gilbert.

Gilbert glanced at them, then turned around and left.

“According to dewitt, the new Gnome King seems to be underage,”Kant said as he looked at Gilbert’s back.

“He’s young, but he already has the aura of being above the throne,”Bunduk commented.

“King Kant! Commander Bunduk!”Abel walked out of the inn’s lobby and greeted the two.

“How did your conversation go?”Kant asked.

“Gilbert promised to help us investigate the mastermind behind the dark forces, but he didn’t tell me what he would do. “It seems that Austin’s death has indeed dealt him quite a blow.”Abel sighed, “Yes.”.

“I hope Gilbert won’t act on impulse in this matter,”Bunduk said. “If he does something extreme to the dark forces and brings about a negative impact on his identity, then it will be troublesome.”

“That’s why we have to find out who’s behind this before he does,”Kant said after thinking for a while.

“But our troops will still need about five days to arrive here,”Bunduk said worriedly.

“It doesn’t matter. The three of us can still investigate,”Kant said firmly. “While we still can’t attract the attention of the nomads during this period of time, we can go to any place in the town to search for information.”

“Yes!”Bunduk and Abel agreed.

The three of them walked into the inn together. The inn owner who was hiding under the counter immediately rushed out and stood in front of them. He said with a fawning expression, “Dear guests, so you are friends of Your Highness Gilbert. It was really rude and impolite before. I will immediately send a waiter to change the room for you.”

“No need.”Bunduk frowned and said, “The place we are staying at now is quite good.”

The inn owner said with a conflicted look on his face, “Everyone, don’t worry. Your bags will be sent to your new rooms by the waiter. You can also customize your dinner and send it to your rooms with a dining cart. “All of this is free of charge.”

Abel looked at the inn’s owner with a complicated expression. He, Devitt, and the others had also rested in this inn before. Furthermore, Gilbert had knocked a big hole in the inn’s door one night. It seemed that two months had passed since this incident, and the inn’s owner had completely forgotten about it.

“Alright then.”Kant took the new guest room key from the owner with a smile. He thanked him, “Thank you, Boss.”

“No problem, no problem.”The boss seemed to be very happy as he replied with a smile.

Bunduk pursed his lips and followed Kant up the stairs leading to the second floor.

The inn owner looked at Abel who was still standing in the same spot and staring at him. He said timidly, “Sir, aren’t you going up?”

“Sir, the door of this lobby is quite nice,”Abel said and followed him up the stairs.

The inn owner looked at Abel’s back in confusion and muttered, “So what if it’s nice? I Can’t give it to you. I asked someone to dress it up for me… eh? This person seems a little familiar?”

After entering the rearranged room, the three of them chose to go to the bed and lie down.

“I’m really tired today.”Bunduk stretched his stiff body and said, “Don’t wake me up until dinner.”

“The porter who delivers the bags will knock on the door later, right?”Abel sat on the chair and looked at the door.

“Please.”Bunduk had already taken off his boots and covered himself with a quilt.

Abel glanced at him helplessly, then looked in Kant’s direction.

“Your Majesty, What are you doing?”Abel walked to Kant’s side and asked curiously.

“Today, Bunduk and I took a stroll around the streets nearby. We are now memorizing the names of the guilds we saw,”Kant raised his head and explained.

“I see. Are they like the guilds in dwarf town?”Abel nodded.

Kant supported his head and thought for a moment, he replied, “There are still some differences. This is because the guilds in this town are operated by different races. Their scale is smaller than the dwarf guilds, and the information you can get is also different.”

“Yes.”Abel nodded and said, “Tomorrow, what is our mission?”

“Of course, to find out about Kala’s background and her recent movements,”Kant replied. “If she has been hiding in the snake-woman’s estate, we have to think of a way to lure her out.”

“As expected, we have to start from the clues left by shadow something,”Abel replied.

“Knock, Knock, Knock. May I ask if Lord Kant is here?”A series of knocks on the door rang in their ears.

Kant winked at Abel, indicating for him to open the door.

“It’s probably the luggage delivery guy,”Abel muttered as he walked towards the door.

“Creak –“the door to the guest room was opened by Abel. Standing outside was a waiter dressed in uniform. Three People’s bags were placed at the waiter’s feet.

Abel picked up the bags on the ground and thanked the waiter. “Thank you. Thank you for your hard work.”

“May I know your name?”The waiter called out to Bunduk, who was about to turn around and leave.

“Yes, my name is Bunduk.”Abel turned around and answered the waiter.

“Dinner is about to begin. Have you ordered yet?”The waiter took out a notebook and asked.

“… ordered? No.”Abel put his bags under his feet with a puzzled look. He thought for a moment and answered.

“This is our menu. Please take a look at it, and the guests inside.”The waiter handed over a leather notebook, he explained to Abel, “The bell in the room can call the waiter over. When the time comes, just give him the marked menu.”

“Oh, I see.”Abel nodded and replied, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome,”the waiter replied. After seeing Abel walk into the room with his bags, he turned around and went downstairs.

When Abel walked into the room, Kant immediately put down his pen, walked up to take the bags, and asked, “Why did you guys talk for so long?”

“The waiter gave me a menu for dinner, and told me that the bell in this room can summon the waiter of the Inn.”Abel put his bags on the bed, he explained, “Let me see where the bell is.”

“It should be that one.”Kant pointed at the bell in front of the door.
