Lord of the Oasis Chapter 808

Chapter 845: the ripples of a small matter

After bidding farewell to Kant, the accountant turned around and walked down the stairs. Until he handed the menu to the chef, the accountant was still thinking about Kant's last question: when he answered that question, the accountant had deceived him. In fact.., the waiter was a soldier who had been arranged to fetch the city gate.

He had to ask why the cashier would use a fabricated excuse to cover up the unimportant facts. It was probably because his heart was filled with uncertainty about the situation around him.

What if this was the task Kant had given to Bunduk and Abel, and Bunduk and Abel had given him the task of welcoming them to the pharmacy. Then wouldn't the two of them be scolded by Kant? They would recall the relaxed look on Bunduk and Abel's faces before they went out. Fellett didn't want to ruin their happy atmosphere because of his own gaffe.

I just simplified the process of this matter to avoid trouble. Fellett thought so in his heart.

However, the look in Kant's eyes when he said goodbye made him feel uneasy.

It was as if his lie was seen through the moment he said it, but the other party didn't wake him up from his daze.

“I didn't do anything wrong, right…”Fellett whispered.

Fellett stood back at the counter and prepared to focus on making the account book. In the end, his attendant led a group of armored soldier into the inn.

“Mr. Fellett, the person is here,”a attendant walked up to Fellett's ear and said.

“Thank you for your hard work. You'll be rewarded during dinner. Hurry up and change into your uniforms.”The cashier nodded to the other waiters and instructed them.

“Yes.”Three or four waiters cheerfully greeted the soldier and left.

A soldier who looked like a leader walked up and hesitantly said, “I heard from those people just now that King Kant and the others are all in your shop.”

“Yes, Commander Bunduk and Captain Abel have prepared rooms for you to rest in,”the cashier replied respectfully. “As long as you take the keys, you can go upstairs and rest.”

“That's Great.”The leader of the soldier let out a breath and said, “However, we still want to see Captain and the others first.”

“This…”the cashier found the keys to the rooms and placed them on the counter for the soldier to take away. After hearing the leader's words, he replied, “Lord Abel and Lord Bunduk just left not long ago. Lord Kant is still on his lunch break. We shouldn't be able to see him for the time being.”

The leader of the soldier frowned and said, “If you don't let us see him in person, how can we believe that Lord Kant and the others are really in your shop?”

“Sigh.”The cashier thought for a moment and helplessly took out the three gold coins that Abel had given him previously from the box on the counter, he explained, “This is the room fee that Lord Abel paid for you in advance. There should be the elf kingdom's logo on it. “If you don't believe me, you can come and see for yourself. “If you don't believe me, you can only sit in this hall for a while and wait for Lord Bunduk and the others to come back. “Lord Kant is taking a lunch break. As the shop's service staff, we won't wake him up on our own initiative.”

The leader of the soldier took the gold coin and sized it up for a while. On the back of the gold coin, he saw the head portrait of the current king of the Elf Kingdom. He nodded slightly and said, “I believe you.”

“Take the key yourself.”The cashier nodded and introduced to the soldier, “The medium-sized guest rooms are six people per room. There are a total of twelve guest rooms. The people who are staying here will be arranged by yourselves.”

“Thank you.”The leader picked up all the keys on the counter and handed them out to the captains of the various squads. He then ordered the soldier, “Everyone, take your bags back to the guest room first. Those who want to rest will rest for a while. We will gather again during dinner time. Dismissed!”

“Yes!”The soldier answered in unison.

After the soldier picked up the bags and left in groups of three or five, only the leader and the cashier were left in the lobby of the inn.

The cashier stood at the counter with his elbows on his hands, counting the bills. The leader sat at the tea table by the door, drinking the tea provided by the shop for free.

After the two quietly spent some time together, Fellett looked up and found the leader still sitting in the chair, drinking tea while looking at the door, as if waiting for something. He took the initiative to talk to him, “I said, What's Your Name?”

“Kerry.”The soldier turned his head to look at him and answered.

“Kerry, my name is Fellett.”The cashier waved at him and said, “Why don't you go back to the guest room to rest?”

“I want to wait here for Commander Bunduk,”Kerry replied.

Fellett looked at the sky. It was already evening. However, there was still a long time before Bunduk and Abel returned.

“They will probably be back in two hours. When that time comes, I will ask my attendants to inform you,”the cashier suggested. “Go back to your room and rest. You came here by carriage after getting off the ship, right? “There is a bathroom in the room where you can take a bath. You can relax here.”

After hearing Fellett's words, Kerry was silent for a long time. After reluctantly glancing at the threshold, he walked to the counter and said to Fellett, “My room is number 308. Please send someone to inform me when Commander Bunduk returns to the Inn.”

“Okay, got it.”The cashier nodded.

“Thank you.”Kerry bowed slightly to the cashier and turned to walk up the stairs, but he didn't expect his stomach to make a gurgling sound at this time.

“By the way, you have been on the road today. You haven't had lunch, right?”Fellett said thoughtfully, “I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some food for you.”

Kerry stood in the same place silently, his face flushed red. He said softly, “Thank you.”

“It's okay.”When Fellett passed by him, he patted his shoulder and comforted him, “Marching is a very hard thing.”

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the kitchen. He ordered the chef in the kitchen to prepare a steak set meal for seventy people.

After dealing with this matter, he returned to the counter, he said to Kerry, “Now you can go back to your room to rest. Like I said, take a good bath. The lunch will be sent to your room in an hour.”

“Okay.”Kerry took out a few silver coins from his pocket and said to the cashier, “This is the meal fee.”

“It doesn't matter. Take this lunch as a free gift from the inn to welcome you.”Fellett did not accept the money that Kerry handed over. He waved his hand and refused.

“But…”Kerry showed a troubled expression and insisted, “No, you still have to accept it. We won't eat for free.”

Chapter 846: The Burning Passion in his heart

“It doesn't matter.”Fellett took back the hand that Kerry handed over, he shook his head and said, “If your captain finds out that I took your money as a meal fee, I won't be able to do the business that you brought. At that time, I'll have to apologize to the owner of the shop.”

Under Fellett's ‘intimidation', Kerry finally took back the money in his hand and thanked Fellett, “Thank you.”

“It's okay. Go and rest,”Fellett said with a smile.

“Okay.”Kerry didn't say anything more and took his leave.

“Your place is on the third floor. Don't go to the wrong place,”Fellett shouted to remind Kerry.

Kerry looked back, nodded, and continued to climb the stairs.

When Kerry first appeared in front of Fellett, Fellett had fallen in love with this child. Because there was a tenacity in his eyes, persistent and tenacious. Such a gaze on an eighteen-year-old human soldier with a dusty face was indeed eye-catching.

In the process of conversing with Kerry, Fellett discovered that he was very introverted. From this, he was even more curious.

Why would a young child have such a dazzling light in his eyes? Even if he was so introverted, he still became the leader of the soldier.

Countless speculations flew through Fellett's mind, reminding him of the original intention of opening an inn together with the boss of the brigade orcs. They wanted a stable life and a firm foothold in this small town. They also wanted to meet all kinds of people and digest their experiences into their own development experiences.

When such an idea was first put forward, it had an aura of idealism.

Unknowingly, not only him, but even the inn owner had not mentioned anything about it.

Fellett was a half-orcs. According to the age of humans, he was already 38 years old. However, because of the gaze of a young human soldier, a fire ignited in his heart.

After Fellett felt this state of mind, he looked up at the sky outside the window. There was no legendary origin of species that formed a system on this continent. Therefore, most of the races believed that they were created by God.

In Fellett's heart, that soldier just now was the work of God. Otherwise, how could he be so strongly influenced in such a short time.

“God, should I believe that this is your arrangement?”Fellett muttered silently.

Although he was already middle-aged, he did not have a family. His parents had left him a long time ago and went to another world. Now, apart from his position as an inn clerk, he did not have any obligations that he needed to take on.

He could generously drop everything, pick up his bags, and go out to explore.

That afternoon, Fellett pushed aside the books that were piled up in front of him. He sat at the counter with his head propped up, thinking about what had happened to him when he had gone out: What Adventures he would have had, who he would have met, where his life would end, when people would say his name, what he would comment on.

Before he knew it, the night had fallen outside the window. The lobby of the Inn was dark.

While wandering in his fantasy, Philip Forgot to light a candlestick in front of his table. As a result, when Bunduk and Abel walked into the shop, they were startled by his figure in the corner.

“Why is it so dark…”Abel said curiously as he walked into the shop. When he saw Philip, who was silent at the counter, he screamed, “Ah! This is… Philip?”

Fellett was startled awake from his fantasy. His body trembled with Abel's Shriek. He looked up at the two of them and said, “Ah, you're back.”

“Fellett! It's really you!”Abel walked to the counter, he lit the candlestick and carefully confirmed the appearance of the person in front of him. He asked in puzzlement, “Were you asleep just now? When Bunduk and I walked in, we didn't even notice you.”

“Why is it so dark in the shop? Did Something Happen?”Bunduk asked with concern.

“It's nothing. You're right. I fell asleep just now.”Fellett hurriedly waved his hand. “When I woke up, it was already dark. In the end, no one lit the lights in the shop.”

“Where are the people in the shop?”Abel looked around and asked.

“I sent the waiters to the city gate to receive the soldier. It has been two hours since they came back. They should be preparing for dinner,”Fellett said as he glanced at the stopwatch in his arms.

“I see.”Bunduk nodded and said, “So you're saying that the soldier is now staying in the guest room?”

“Yes, they have been on the road for a whole day. They should have finished their lunch by now and are resting.”Fellett thought for a while and said, “There was a child named Kerry who said that he would wait in the lobby until you came back. I also persuaded him to go upstairs. He seems to be the leader of the team or something.”

“Yeah, Kerry is also here.”Bunduk's eyes lit up, he said, “This kid is usually a bit dull, and he is not good at socializing. But his heart is still very good, and his performance in completing the mission is also very outstanding.”

“I think he seems to be quite young. Has the military barrack in Caradia started recruiting at such an early age?”Phillip asked, puzzled.

Bunduk could see that Fellett was a little curious about Kerry, he patiently explained, “Kerry seems to be eighteen this year. “Actually, according to normal procedures, only eighteen years old can officially join the army. “However, he is an orphan adopted by a middle-ranking officer of ours. After the establishment of the military barrack, he has been raised in the military barrack. “I saw him perform well when he practiced boxing with an officer in the past. “I asked him if he had any aspirations to join the army. After getting his and his adoptive father's approval, I recruited him into the army when he was sixteen years old.”

“I see.”Ferret nodded and replied without saying anything else.

“Where is His Majesty Now?”Abel asked.

“His Majesty Kant should still be in the guest room,”ferret replied. “He should be reading in the guest room after he got up and ate lunch sent by the kitchen.”

“His Majesty has been working hard recently.”Abel lowered his head and said, “When he can relax, it's better to let him relax for a while.”

“Did you buy the medicine?”Fellett remembered the purpose of the two of them going out and asked.

“We did.”Speaking of this, a trace of joy appeared on the faces of Abel and Bunduk, they said happily, “Thank you for recommending those pharmacies to us. Their scale is really amazing. After we reported the symptoms to the people in the pharmacy, they immediately found the medicine for us.”

Chapter 847: The Daily routine of the inn's internal affairs

“Medicine is something that can only be counted if you drink it and take a look.”Fellett was also happy for them, but he still reminded them carefully, “Have you inquired about the daily dosage of the medicine?”

“Yes.”Bunduk nodded. “Not only that, the owner of the pharmacy also gave me a set of acupuncture and said to seal the spread of the poisonous gas in my body. Now I feel that my body has returned to my own.”

“That's Great.”Ferret nodded. “No wonder you came back so late. It turns out that you met a hermit who knows acupuncture.”

“By chance,”Abel answered happily. “The medicine prescribed by the prescription will take several hours to brew. I was wondering… if I could borrow the stove in the inn…”

“Of course,”ferret agreed immediately. “As long as it can help Lord Bunduk's condition improve, you can rent the facilities in the inn to you whenever you want.”

“Thank you,”Bunduk said sincerely.

“It's okay,”ferret said with a smile. “You people outside the island really like to say ‘thank You'or something. In fact, since we are already considered familiar friends, there's no need to be so polite in these details.”

“Hehe.”Bunduk smiled helplessly and explained, “Perhaps it's a habit to say thank you. Other than thanking you, I really can't think of anything else to say.”

“Then it's up to you,”ferret said nonchalantly.

Abel glanced at the carriage that was parked at the door and suddenly remembered that he had not even cleaned up the stains that Bunduk had vomited in the carriage, he took the initiative to bid farewell to Ferret. “I'm sorry, Ferret. We still have some urgent matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave first.”

“Huh? Where are you going?”Ferret looked at the two people walking towards the inn's door in puzzlement and asked.

“We…”Abel turned around and answered awkwardly, “We want to take the carriage back to the shed.”

“It doesn't matter. A groom will come to take it back later. You Don't have to do this yourself,”ferret walked out of the counter and explained kindly.

“No, no, no. I think we have to do it ourselves.”Bunduk hurriedly shook his head. It would be terrible if the carriage was returned just like that. One could not lose face in front of others.

The two left the hall in a hurry. Fellett looked at their backs with confusion. After being stunned for a while, he walked to the corner of the hall and lit up the candle holder of the inn.

At this time, the fragrance of the dishes that had just come out of the pot came from the kitchen.

Fellett walked to the kitchen stove and asked the chef, “How Long Is it until dinner starts?”

“Lord of the accounting department, the dishes will be ready in about ten minutes,”the chef turned around and replied.

“Okay.”Fellett nodded and said, “Today, the guests on the third floor will take over the kitchen on the second floor. Don't forget to send someone to clean the dining table.”

“Yes,”the head chef agreed.

After leaving a reminder, Fellett turned around and left the kitchen. He informed the waiters who were busy in the courtyard to rush to the various restaurants to prepare for the meal. For example, cleaning and turning on the lights.

Usually, Fellett was responsible for most of the matters in the inn. The inn's owner was responsible for socializing outside.

Fellett stood by the handrail of the stairs on the first floor, wondering what kind of person the inn's owner would find to take over his job if he left the inn.

He had been friends with the inn-keeper for many years. When he first bought the place, most of the money was borrowed from the inn-keeper. Ferret only put in a small amount of money. But the inn-keeper did not ask him to go out with him because of his status as an accountant. Instead, he thoughtfully handed over the affairs of the inn to him while he ran around outside.

When Fellett thought that he was fearless and could just leave… The cause planted by the inn's owner many years ago had borne fruit in his heart.

Fellett looked at the inn's entrance and realized that with his current strength, there was still a long way to go before he could cross this threshold.

During dinner time, after Kant received the news of the arrival of the soldier, he was not in a hurry to meet them. Instead, he first walked to the dining hall and quietly waited for the others to arrive.

Abel, who was washing the carriage with clean water by the side of the carriage shed, also smelled the aroma of food coming from the inn.

He had already thoroughly understood the dirt in the carriage, but there was still some stench left in the carriage. Abel could only wipe the inner wall of the carriage inch by inch.

Bunduk stood at the side and was responsible for cleaning up the garbage.

“It's all because of you. We should have stayed in the dining room at the moment,”Abel said angrily. “How could we be like now, cleaning up the carriage in the shed? We're all covered in a stench.”

“Isn't it because you insisted on riding in your carriage? I think you did it on purpose,”Bunduk replied.

The two of them criticized each other and unknowingly lengthened the time needed to clean up the carriage.

It was not until Bunduk and Abel changed into clean clothes and appeared in the dining hall. The soldier in the dining hall had already started eating. Only Kant was still waiting for them.

“Why are you guys so slow?”Kant asked with a frown.

“Bunduk, he…”

“Don't talk about this during dinner.”Abel was about to explain, but he was interrupted by Bunduk.

“HMPH.”Abel snorted, and didn't want to continue.

Kant smelled a strange smell on their bodies, and then looked at Abel's face. He understood.

“You…”Kant said with disdain, “Forget it. Kerry is having dinner with us today. They have been waiting for you for so long. You should at least say hello.”

“AH.”Abel, who was stirring the salad, raised his head in surprise. “Kerry?”

Then, his gaze moved to a young soldier on the table. He continued, “Are You Kerry?”

“Yes.”Kerry had seen Abel a few times on the coast, but he only knew that he was the leader of the Elves'team. Because there was no need to hand over the job to Abel, they were not familiar with each other. At this time, he could only nod and respond shyly.

“I heard from Bunduk about you. He said that you grew up in the military barrack and have a lot of talent as a soldier,”Bunduk said with a smile.

“Thank you.”Kerry nodded shyly.

“I rarely hear him praise others like that.”Abel continued to stir the salad and said, “Sorry, we had something urgent before dinner, so we came a little late.”

CHAPTER 848: Small Talk at the dinner table

“It's… It's okay.”Kerry clenched his fists nervously,

“Kerry is a stranger, so he looks shy,”Bunduk explained to Kerry. “It's Okay, Kerry. “Since we're here, you can start eating without worry. “Don't mind.”

“Yes.”Kerry looked back at Bunduk and nodded in response.

The amount of time Bunduk spent with him was second only to his foster father. Therefore, Bunduk was also one of the two people Kerry was closest to in the army.

“Did you find anything when you went to the pharmacy in town today?”Kant asked Bunduk and Abel when he saw Kerry begin to eat his dinner in peace.

“Yes, we met an experienced doctor,”Bunduk replied immediately. “He gave me a few doses of medicine and gave me acupuncture. “In short, the voodoo worm on my body has begun to be controlled by external forces.”

“Did the Doctor Say Anything to You?”Kant continued to ask.

“Nothing. He just said that this voodoo worm is incurable for the time being,”Abel replied. “But it can be controlled by slowing down the spread of other voodoo worms.”

“That's good too.”Kant nodded in agreement. “Even though the crooning tardigrade worm is a rare product that has been cultivated, it seems that the Medicine King's experiment is still under control.”

“Your Highness, we heard that you stayed in the guest room for a whole day after we left today. Have you been too busy recently, causing your body to…”Bunduk asked worriedly.

“That's not true. Recently, there have been a lot of jobs outside.”Kant smiled in relief. “It's just that I think it's beneficial to my body. “It's just that I've been with the crowd for a long time, and I want to return to my own space temporarily.”

“Since there's no problem with my body, then we can rest assured.”Abel did not understand Kant's way of relieving stress, but he was also very worried about Kant's physical condition, so he could see him take the initiative to stop and rest. Abel was also happy in his heart.

“May I ask… What is the voodoo poison you mentioned just now?”A weak voice came from the side of the three people.

Bunduk looked back in surprise and saw Kerry looking at him with an awkward expression. He said in a panic, “Nothing, it's just…”

“Commander Bunduk has been poisoned by a very uncommon voodoo poison,”Kant said at this time. “Now his body is not as good as before. Two months later, there is still the possibility of his consciousness being devoured by the insect eggs in his body.”

“What?”Kerry's eyes were filled with disbelief. At this moment, he covered his mouth and screamed.

“Kerry, don't worry.”Bunduk did not want to refute Kant's words, because he knew that his previous cover-up was the real situation. He could only say in a gentle voice, “Brother's illness will recover.”

Abel raised his head and glanced at Bunduk. He opened his mouth, but held back his words.

“Really, Brother Bunduk?”Kerry's emotions became weak. He looked at Bunduk with red eyes and asked.

“Yes, he will.”Kant nodded. “As long as we stand by his side, God can't take him away.”

“Yes.”Kerry clenched his fists, stopped his tears, and nodded. “Brother Bunduk, can you tell me how to cure your illness?”

“As long as we find the bastard who poisoned Bunduk and force him to hand over the antidote. Bunduk can continue to live.”Abel said, “And the important step to achieve this goal is whether our group of spies in the city have found any traces of the murderer.”

“I will definitely do my best in this operation,”Kerry said firmly.

Bunduk looked at a child who was ten years younger than him and had practically watched him grow up. At this moment, he showed the responsibility that an adult should have.

The Emotions in his heart also became complicated.

“Don't personally participate in this matter,”Bunduk said. “Let your more experienced soldier do it.”

“No, I have to go.”Kerry shook his head. “If I don't go, I won't feel like I've paid a price for this operation. I'll regret it for the rest of my life.”

“Then… Okay,”Bunduk agreed helplessly. “But you have to be careful.”

“Okay,”Kerry agreed.

“We haven't revealed this to the other soldiers yet,”Abel warned. “For the sake of the soldiers, there won't be too much psychological burden during the operation. Kerry, you can't reveal Bunduk's condition to anyone in the soldier group.”

Previously, they had neglected Kerry, who was quietly listening by their side, so they accidentally leaked the news.

“Yes, I understand.”Kerry nodded.

“Oh right, Kerry, how did you find this place today?”Kant asked after swallowing the food in his mouth.

“It was the inn's attendants who came to pick us up. When they saw us, they said to us, ‘it was commander Bunduk and Captain Abel who personally instructed us,'”Kerry answered in detail.

“I see.”Kant nodded slightly and said.

Then, he looked around. When he didn't see the cashier, he lowered his head and looked at the food in the bowl.

“We did ask Fellett to arrange it.”Abel nodded and admitted, “Your Highness, What's Wrong?”

“Nothing. I just want to advise you to avoid contact with Fellett in the future,”Kant said faintly. “If you need help in the future, you should ask the inn's owner first.”

“The inn's owner doesn't stay in the inn much.”Bunduk thought for a moment and said, “But, why would your highness want us to have less contact with Ferret?”

“I saw that there were fewer waiters in the inn today, so I asked him curiously, ‘where are all the waiters in the Inn?'? In the end, he told me, ‘The waiters in the inn went to the city gate to buy goods.'. And Kerry just said, “The waiters in the inn are going to pick them up,”Kant said word by word.

After hearing this, Bunduk and Abel looked at each other and said apologetically, “I'm Sorry, Your Majesty. About this…”

“You don't have to explain. I know what the cashier is thinking and how you asked him to do it.”Kant waved his hand and interrupted Abel's explanation. He added, “You may not understand my decision now, but if you think about it carefully, you will know that when Fellett does things, he always places himself in the safest place. No matter how things unfold in the bureau, it will not affect him. “This is a sign of fear of taking responsibility.”
