Chapter 817: the two who rushed to the top of the mountain

Teleportation formation could not send them directly to the Gnome’s estate. Kant and Abel stopped at their stronghold halfway up the mountain and asked for directions to the main city gate.

“Hey! I Am Abel, the leader of the Elves’Soldier! Your Highness Gilbert and I are friends. Something urgent has happened! We must meet him.”After walking to the city gate, abel shouted at the GNOME soldier on the city wall.

Hearing the noise, the GNOME soldier looked at each other in dismay. However, there was still a soldier who recognized Kant and Abel. He opened the city gate for them and went down the city gate to welcome them.

“Hello, King Kant of Caradia.”A gnome soldier walked in front of Kant, bowed to him and asked, “His Majesty Gilbert has not returned to the palace. May I know why you are looking for him?”

“Where is Gilbert Now?”Abel asked anxiously.

“He is on his way back from the snake-woman’s estate. He will probably only return to the country late tonight.”The GNOME soldier answered Abel’s question.

Kant nodded, slightly bent down, and held the soldier’s hand, “Thank you.”. One of our companions went missing today. “It seems that this matter is related to what Gilbert did when he went to the snake-woman’s estate.”. “We want to Find Your Highness Gilbert to discuss the next countermeasures.”

“I see.”The GNOME soldier frowned after hearing Kant’s explanation. Then, he called out to the two, “Then I’ll immediately send my soldiers to escort the two lords into the palace. I’ll report this matter to Your Highness Gilbert after he returns to the city.”

“Alright, then I will have to trouble you.”Kant nodded and thanked him.

The GNOME soldier called over the soldier beside him and whispered a few words into his ear. After the subordinate left, not long after, a carriage was brought to Kant and Abel.

The gnome carriage driver who got down from the carriage set up a small ladder to board the carriage and quietly retreated to the side.

Kant and Abel looked at each other and said goodbye to the soldier. “Goodbye, everyone.”

“Be careful on the way,”the GNOME soldier instructed.

Kant stepped on the ladder first and boarded the carriage. The gnome carriage was smaller than the carriage used by humans. After Abel squeezed into the carriage, Kant could only tighten his shoulders helplessly.

The carriage began to move amidst the horses’cries and galloped towards the main road in the city.

Due to their awkward posture, Kant and Abel did not say a word throughout the entire journey. Half an hour later, the coachman opened the curtain and called for the two of them to get off the carriage. Only then did the two of them let out a sigh of relief and walked out of the carriage to stretch their muscles.

“My Lords, we have already arrived.”The Coachman pointed at the palace door and said, “The guards at the door will arrange the rest of the journey for you.”

“Alright, thank you for your hard work,”Abel agreed.

“It’s alright.”The coachman smiled and said, “I’ll take my leave first.”

“Okay.”

After the carriage left the palace door, Kant looked around. This was not the center of the city, and there were not many buildings around. The few pedestrians on the streets were mostly dressed luxuriously. It seemed that this was a residential area specially provided for the Gnome Noble.

At this time, a soldier in armor walked up to the two of them and said, “Excuse me, are you here to see your Highness Gilbert’s guest? Did the city-guarding troops send you here?”

“Yes.”Kant nodded politely and replied, “I heard that your Highness Gilbert is on his way back to the country. I wonder where we can wait for him?”

“Your Highness probably won’t be able to return to his bedroom to rest until the wee hours of the morning.”. “Please follow me to the living quarters that I have arranged for you.”The soldier replied, “When your highness Gilbert returns to the country, a soldier will immediately rush over to inform all of you.”

“Mm, alright.”Kant pursed his lips and agreed.

After the soldier brought the two of them to a luxuriously decorated living quarters, he excused himself and left.

“Now we can only hope that Gilbert can return safely to the Gnome Kingdom and meet us,”Kant said to Abel as he took a sip of tea.

“Yes,”Abel leaned against the window and replied softly, “I wonder how Bunduk is doing now…”

Although both of them were extremely tired, the uneasiness in their hearts still prevented them from walking to the bedside and lying down to rest. They could only sit at the tea table and wait for the news in silence.

Pick did not take the unconscious Bunduk far away. After walking out of the sight of the onlookers, he returned to the living quarters he had bought on the street.

He had not informed the other members of the dark forces about this operation. It was only because he was really angry at Gilbert’s overbearing style that he could not help but attack Bunduk and the others.

After Kant and the others entered the town, the orcs in charge of contacting him introduced the background of this group of people to him. He also reminded him to keep a close eye on them. The ‘delay’worm was also planted on Bunduk’s body at that time.

Pick looked through the crack in the window at the guild entrance and saw the GNOME troops that were scouting the scene. There were also Kant and Abel who had rushed over after hearing the news. The two of them stood in front of the union entrance and lowered their heads to discuss something.

“Sipa, go and listen to what they are saying.”Pick stared at Kant’s position and ordered softly.

A small snake with a transparent physique slithered from the window sill on the second floor to the stone steps beside Kant. The two of them did not notice its existence. The content of the conversation echoed clearly in Pick’s ears.

“Heh.”When pick heard that Kant intended to declare war on the dark forces, he let out a cold laugh and said disdainfully, “It’s just a small desert country. You really have no self-awareness.”

“You…”

While pick was still monitoring Kant, Bunduk, who was lying on the floor, woke up. However, his consciousness was still in a trance. After seeing the unfamiliar figure in front of him, he hesitantly called out.

Pick was frightened by the sudden call and cut off the connection of his spiritual power. The little snake called ‘sipa’also shrank into a hole in the ground.

This transparent little snake was very afraid of the sunlight. If it did not have the blessing of a spell, it could only stay in a place where there was no sunlight.

“SIPA!”Pick could not help but call out. When he did not see the little snake, he turned around and glared at Bunduk. He said, “What are you screaming for!”

“… I remember now.”After recovering his consciousness, Bunduk stared at pick and said, “You are that Bastard Beast Tamer!”

“Well, then?”Pick picked up a wooden chair and threw it at Bunduk. He said angrily, “It’s all because of your scream just now. Now, I don’t know where Percy is! You people are really a bunch of Jinx!”

Chapter 818: an accomplice who happened to meet on the street

Bunduk caught the wooden chair that flew in front of him. He stood up and asked pick, “I was knocked unconscious by the attack from the cheetah you raised just now, right?”

“It seems that it didn’t hit me hard enough.”Pick looked out of the window and said to Bunduk who was behind him.

“Since I’ve woken up, let’s have another match.”Bunduk reached out his hand to his waist, but he was surprised to find that his weapon was not in the scabbard.

“Heh.”Pick leaned against the window and looked at Bunduk with a cold smile. “I’m not in the mood to continue fighting with you. Moreover, I think that you don’t have the qualifications to fight with me right now.”

“Bastard! Don’t underestimate… Ah!”Bunduk clenched his fists and shouted angrily. In his eyes, just this hand-to-hand combat was enough to deal with the attack from pick. However, before he could finish his sentence, he felt a tearing pain on his knees. He fell to the ground instantly.

“I don’t like fighting. The reason why I fought with you a few rounds before was because I wanted to let the children of ‘Yin Chi’grow up quickly in your body.”A strange smile appeared on the corner of Pick’s mouth, he continued, “Now it seems that they have grown up quite well.”

“Damn it!”Bunduk’s lower limbs were completely paralyzed. At that time, the larvae were invading his bone marrow and brought about the effect.

“You feel very painful now, right?”Pick squatted in front of Bunduk, he pretended to be innocent and said, “It doesn’t matter. It Won’t hurt in a few days because they will invade your brain and occupy your nerves. They will replace you and become ‘you’.”

“What is your purpose?”Bunduk gritted his teeth and asked.

“My purpose is to use you to exchange for the members of our organization.”Pick met Bunduk’s eyes, he said seriously, “But I think it’s a good plan for you, who let your consciousness be controlled, to stir up trouble in the Gnome Country and your… Caradia. What do you think?”

“Ptui, you can’t succeed in any of these things.”Bunduk said angrily, “Even if I die, I won’t let you use me to attack Caradia.”

“HMPH.”Pick snorted disdainfully, “Your life is in my hands. Whether you live or Die is up to me.”

After saying this, pick stood up and walked out of the door. What he was most concerned about right now was SIPA’s safety. After locking the door, he quickly walked to the lobby downstairs and hid behind the door to observe the movements on the street.

Kant and Abel had already left the place, and no one knew where they had gone. After the Gnome soldier settled everything and left the scene, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.

As pick sized up the pedestrians on the road, he carefully walked to the entrance of the Guild and called out in a low voice, “Sipa, Sipa, where are you?”

“Hiss –“a familiar cry came from the stairway leading to the guild entrance.

Pick immediately walked over and crawled on the ground, searching for Sipa’s figure. Finally, he stopped in front of a hidden hole. Sipa was hiding there timidly.

“Sipa, I’m here to pick you up,”pick said happily. “Let’s go back.”

Pick extended his hand to sippa, and a wave of spiritual power flowed from his fingertips into the top of Sippa’s head. SIPPA seemed to have been healed. She walked out of the cave naturally, slowly walking to pick’s shoulder and disappearing into the air.

Pick exhaled in relief. He stood up straight and patted the dust off his body.

“Fortunately, I didn’t lose it this time,”pick whispered.

“Pick!”At this time, a rough voice reached pick’s ears. It made his heart tighten.

“Monty.”Pick had a stiff smile on his face. He raised his hand and greeted the approaching orcs.

“What are you doing here?”Monty walked to pick, patted his shoulder and asked, “I was standing on the street in the West City just now, and I could feel the movements of your treasures. Are You in trouble?”

“Yes…”pick curled his lips and said, “Yes, I met someone who tried to pick a fight with me before, and I wanted to teach him a lesson. I didn’t expect the action to be so big.”

“It’s a small matter.”After hearing pick’s explanation, Monty waved his hand casually, he smiled and said, “I can only say that that person’s luck is not that good. I’ll go and tell them that the people from the supervision center will settle it for you.”

“Thank you very much.”Pick nodded.

“No need.”Just as pick was about to take his leave, Monty stopped him and asked, “By the way, how are the few people I arranged for you to monitor now?”

“How are they…”pick frowned and thought for a while before saying, “It’s not that bad. They seem to have handed over the investigation task to the king of the Gnome Kingdom. Now, they are strolling around all day.”

“I see.”Monty rubbed his head and said, “Then it’s really boring. You can observe for a few more days. If they don’t make any movements in the investigation, the surveillance task can be canceled.”

“But…”pick said hesitantly.

“Don’t worry. Lord ‘king’only told us to pay attention to this group of outsiders.”Monty said, “They won’t be able to stir up any waves.”

“Alright then,”pick agreed. “Then I’ll continue to observe and see.”

“Alright.”Monty nodded and said, “I just came to say hello to you. I still have to go back and drink with my friends. Goodbye.”

“Okay.”Pick bowed slightly.

After seeing Monty turn around and leave, Pick also walked back to his living quarters.

Walking up to the second floor, pick stood quietly outside the door for a while. There was no movement from inside the room. This made him frown.

After gently removing the door lock, a strong impact knocked pick seven to eight meters away. He fell on the edge of the wall.

Pick held his dizzy head and looked forward. He saw Bunduk, who was dragging his legs, appear in his name.

“How did you rush out?”Pick looked at Bunduk as if he was sizing up a monster and asked curiously.

“Humph.”Bunduk raised his head and looked down at pick. “I said, even if I die, I won’t let myself be controlled by a villain like you.”

“Hehe.”Pick laughed. “Do you think you can stop the spread of insect eggs by sealing your own meridians?”

“At least now, the effect is not bad.”The corner of Bunduk’s mouth curled up into a smile. He said confidently, “Although I don’t know how much time this can delay, it should be enough to use this small gap to defeat you.”

Pick’s gaze instantly turned cold. He patted the dust on his body, stood up, and said to bunduk, “Try it.”

Chapter 819: the second round of battle

He didn’t say anything else. Bunduk raised his fist and smashed it towards Pick’s face.

“Too slow.”Pick evaded Bunduk’s attack and waved at Bunduk.

Bunduk couldn’t keep up with pick in time because his lower limbs couldn’t move properly. He could only use his body to block pick’s punches and kicks and find an opportunity to counterattack.

After more than ten rounds, Bunduk’s face was already covered in wounds. However, against Bunduk’s huge size, in the narrow space of the stairway, Pick’s extreme dodging wasn’t a coincidence. Even though he had always wanted to change the battlefield, Bunduk still stood in place, unmoving like a mountain. Even if pick had deliberately revealed his weakness and was beaten to the ground by him, Bunduk would not follow up with a follow-up attack. Following him, he changed his position.

At this time, Bunduk’s battle-hardened physique came into play. The injuries on his body did not become a burden. On the contrary, the intense battle made him even more excited. As time passed, more and more flaws were exposed by pick in the battle.

Unknowingly, Bunduk gradually gained the upper hand.

“You…”pick panted as he squatted in the corner and stared at Bunduk.

You are reading story Lord of the Oasis at novel35.com

At the beginning of the battle, he summoned the energy of the predator that he kept in his body and grafted it onto his body, allowing him to successfully dodge a heavy punch from Bunduk.

However, now that things had come to this, there was not much spiritual power left in pick, and he could no longer maintain his predator form.

“What’s Wrong?”Bunduk dragged his legs and slowly walked in front of pick. He said to him with a mocking expression, “Is that all you have? I haven’t even started to use my full strength.”

“I… Admit defeat.”Pick raised his hand and surrendered. After seeing Bunduk approach, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he used the silver blade hidden in his sleeves.

“Don’t play tricks on me.”Bunduk grabbed pick’s wrist and warned him in an evil voice.

“You… Let Go of me.”Pick’s face became distorted because of the pain from his wrist. He shouted.

“Where is the antidote to the insect worm you gave me?”Bunduk stared at pick and asked.

“There is no antidote, let go of me!”Pick struggled.

“HMPH!”Bunduk loosened his grip, pick held his right wrist and groveled on the ground, wailing. Raising his head, he saw Bunduk take out a small knife and asked in fear: “What are you doing?”

“Since you are not willing to speak, I can only force you to speak.”Bunduk glanced at pick and raised the knife, cutting a small cut on his upper leg.

Pick saw this scene and widened his eyes. “You lunatic, what are you going to do?”

“Cut the crap!”Bunduk stared at his wound for a while. When he saw a squirming larva, he quickly pulled it out of his body with his fingertips.

The larva of ‘Yin chi’was milky white. When it moved between Bunduk’s palms, it was still twisting left and right.

Bunduk looked at pick, who was cowering in the corner, and asked coldly, “I’ll ask you one last time. where is the antidote?”

“I… I… I’ll give you the antidote.”Pick’s pupils trembled violently. After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he told Bunduk.

“Now, give it to me.”Bunduk waved his hand.

Pick staggered back to his room and rummaged through the cabinets to find a bottle of red medicinal liquid. He handed it to Bunduk shakily.

Bunduk held the bottle in his hand and sized it up repeatedly. He raised his head and said to pick, “You’re not lying to me, are you?”

“No… No,”pick replied nervously.

Bunduk thought for a moment, opened the bottle cap, and poured the medicinal liquid in the bottle onto the larva in his hand.

After seeing the larva’s corpse vaporize, Bunduk raised his eyebrows and drank the rest of the medicinal liquid in one gulp.

After a short while, the lower limbs of his body regained consciousness. Some sticky secretions came out of his pores and carried a slight stench.

Bunduk nodded in satisfaction and said to pick, “You told me your real name, right?”

“Yes,”pick replied.

“Okay.”Bunduk took out his handkerchief to stop the bleeding wound and nodded. “Then we’ll meet again next time.”

“You…”pick widened his eyes in surprise and asked Bunduk, “Aren’t you going to kill me?”

“No.”Bunduk shook his head and said, “This time, it’s my surprise attack on you, and you underestimated the enemy. That’s why I defeated you. If I kill you now, I Won’t look down on myself.”

After hearing Bunduk’s words, pick was so surprised that he couldn’t speak.

However, Bunduk did not expect his response. After resting for a while, he lifted his leg and left the room.

The snake-woman guild downstairs had not opened its doors yet, but the long line had already extinguished Bunduk’s hope of waiting in line.

“Where are His Majesty and the others now?”Bunduk tried hard to recall for a while, but he could not come up with any results. He looked at his torn clothes. Bunduk walked to the hotel where he stayed last night helplessly.

Just as he walked into the lobby, the boss immediately came up to him and asked, “Lord Bunduk, why are you back?”

“What’s Wrong?”Bunduk sat down on a bench at the side and ordered the boss, “Can you please help me get some ointment for my wounds? My body is bruised and bruised, it’s always too eye-catching.”

“Yes, yes, yes.”The boss quickly agreed. Then, he called the waiter who was cleaning the table and asked him to bring the medical box over.

“I heard that you were targeted by the Beast Tamer who likes to find trouble around here. Did he hurt you?”The boss asked carefully.

“Yes.”Bunduk frowned and replied. He was slightly surprised that the news had spread so fast.

“AH, the medicine is here.”The inn owner instructed the waiter to put down the medicine box and said to bunduk, “Lord, I’ll go and get someone to apply the medicine for you.”

“No need.”Bunduk waved his hand indifferently, picked up the medicine box on the table, and walked to the stairs leading to the second floor. He said, “I can apply the medicine for myself. Just remember to send someone to get this box.”

“Yes,”the inn owner answered respectfully.

“Oh, right.”With a glimmer of hope, Bunduk turned around and asked the owner who was standing in the open space, “Do you know where the two people who settled down with me went?”

“You are talking about Lord Kant and Lord Abel.”The inn owner thought for a moment and said, “According to the waiter who rushed back from the street, they seem to have gone to the teleportation base on the main street. They are probably going up the mountain.”

“Going up the mountain?”Bunduk’s expression immediately became conflicted.

Chapter 820: A Vigilante in financial distress

Bunduk dragged his heavy steps back to the room.

He ran out of the inn’s entrance on a spur of the moment. When he found that he was penniless, he returned dejectedly.

“Lord Bunduk, What’s Wrong?”The boss at the counter asked curiously when he saw Bunduk’s appearance.

“… nothing.”Bunduk glanced at the boss, and his mood plummeted.

From the looks of it, King Kant and Abel should have gone up the mountain to seek help from the Gnome tribe and the Gnome tribe. But they didn’t know that they had escaped from pick’s hands.

The cost of using the teleportation formation was extremely high. Before Kant and Abel went down the mountain, he could only stay in this small town and do something for them.

“Boss, do you have a messenger to go up the mountain?”Abel asked, unwilling to give up.

“Yes, but the time when the person receiving the letter comes to town is not fixed.”The inn owner thought for a while, he replied, “Lord Bunduk, do you need to send a letter up the mountain? If the messenger comes to town, I will send someone to inform you.”

“Thank you.”Bunduk nodded. “Then, may I know the cost of sending a letter up the mountain?”

When he asked this question, Bunduk lowered his head in shame. Once again, he made up his mind. I must keep a portion of the money in my own hands in the future. I Can’t give it all to Abel anymore.

“I remember that the price of a letter seems to be three silver coins. After all, the messenger also goes up the mountain by the teleportation formation,”the inn owner said. “He can’t earn much money by going back and forth.”

“OH.”Bunduk touched the shriveled money bag and nodded. “Thank you.”

“No need.”The owner shook his head with a smile. Then, he continued to bury his head in the account book.

Bunduk silently left in front of the account desk.

“This Beast Tamer is quite heavy-handed.”Bunduk endured the pain and applied the ointment on himself while recalling the figure of pick who was running around in the stairway.

“Knock, Knock, Knock!”After applying the ointment on himself in front of the mirror, there was a knock on the door.

“Who is it?”Bunduk asked in confusion. After putting on his coat, he immediately walked to the door and opened it.

“Lord… Lord Bunduk, Hello.”After seeing Bunduk Open the door, a waiter holding a tray greeted him, he stammered, “The shop has prepared some light meals for you. Most of them are helpful in promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. I hope you can accept them.”

“Huh?”Bunduk looked at the dishes on the plate, swallowed his saliva, and asked, “These… do you need money?”

“Ah?”The waiter said curiously, “No, no, no, you don’t need to pay. These are all given to you by our store.”

“Oh, that’s good. Bring them in.”After bunduk calmed down, he called out to the waiter.

Now he had to save up to send a letter to His Majesty Kant. He couldn’t afford to eat any side meals that could nourish his body.

“Then I’ll take my leave first. Enjoy your meal.”After placing the exquisite dishes on the table, the waiter retreated to the door and said goodbye to Bunduk.

“Well, thank you.”Bunduk nodded and replied.

The waiter gently closed the door and walked down the stairs. On the way back to the kitchen, he met the inn’s owner.

“Hello, Boss.”The waiter said respectfully.

“How is it? Did Lord Bunduk accept the food you sent?”The inn owner asked nervously.

“Yes,”the waiter replied.

“That’s good.”The owner nodded happily and said, “Lord Bunduk helped us to get rid of the big villain, Pick. Just based on this, you should take good care of him.”

“You’re right, Boss,”the waiter echoed.

Bunduk sat down at the dining table and began to eat the first meal of the day.

The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and the streets were full of nomads looking for a place to eat. Unknowingly, the hour hand had already pointed to the meal time.

After a full meal, Bunduk leaned against the window and looked at the people coming and going. His expression could not help but become melancholic.

“It seems that I’m still not suitable to be alone…”Bunduk muttered softly.

He didn’t know if Kant and Bunduk had already reached the peak of the mountain, if they had seen the dwarf clan chief or the king of the Gnome Kingdom.

If only he could follow them up the mountain to find them.

Within the Gnome Kingdom’s palace, Kant and Abel sat in their guest rooms for a long time.

Just as the two of them were about to fall asleep, a gnome waiter brought them dinner in a dining cart, he said to them, “My two guests, your highness Gilbert encountered a rainstorm on his way back. He probably won’t be able to return to the country until noon tomorrow. “You don’t have to sit here and wait. “Let’s have some dinner first.”

“Did you encounter a rainstorm?”Kant took a deep breath and said, “Thank you. We will eat dinner.”

“Okay.”The gnome waiter glanced at the Silent Bunduk, bowed slightly, and left the room.

Abel walked to the dining cart and quietly placed the dishes on the table one by one. Then he sat down beside Kant and said, “Your Majesty, Eat Something First.”

Kant held his forehead and glanced at the dinner on the table. He sighed and said, “Well, let’s eat.”

The room was so quiet that only the sound of silver knives and forks colliding with the dishes could be heard.

It didn’t take long for them to eat. After all, neither of them had much appetite. The waiter who came to clean up the dishes saw most of the remaining dishes on the plate. He didn’t disturb their quiet time. He silently pushed the dining cart and walked out.

“Gilbert won’t be able to get there tonight,”Kant said.

“Bunduk, he…”Abel said worriedly.

“It’s fine. I trust Bunduk,”Kant said, shaking his head.

The air in the room became quiet again, and the rain spread from the horizon to the foot of the mountain. The mountain peak was still in the sultry environment before the storm.

Kant and Bunduk’s uneasiness became restless again.

Abel got up and opened the window, allowing the strong wind to rush in.

“It’s too stuffy to stay indoors. Let’s go out for a walk,”Kant suggested.

“Okay,”Abel agreed. Then the two opened the door and walked out of their room. They strolled around the spacious palace.

Raindrops were already falling from the sky, hitting the colorful glass bed.

Abel watched as the rain became heavier and heavier, shielding Kant as he returned from the open space to the eaves. He asked with concern, “Your Highness, are you okay?”

“I’m fine, thanks to you.”Kant shook his head in a relaxed manner and said, “I didn’t even get wet.”

“That’s good.”Abel exhaled and said.
