Chapter 825: the three people who came to say goodbye

“No.”Bunduk thought for a while, shook his head, and replied, “But from what he said, he seems to be in cahoots with that snake-woman named Kala.”

“He didn’t tell you. are those people in charge of contacting him?”Abel asked anxiously.

“If that’s what you want to ask, he didn’t mention this to me.”Bunduk supported his head and answered, “However, he tied me up and brought me to his living quarters in the city. “However, due to a small accident, he went downstairs. At that time, I was trying to find a way to stop the spread of the insect worms on my body. “I could only hide behind the window on the second floor and pay attention to his movements. In the end, I discovered that he met with a half-orcs. However, I wasn’t able to see clearly what exactly that person looked like.”

“Yes.”Kant nodded. “This can also be considered as a clue for us to continue investigating.”

“Since the matter of Bunduk has already been resolved, then we should hurry down the mountain and start investigating.”Abel suggested.

Kant cast a questioning glance at Bunduk, and after seeing him nod his head. He decided, “Let’s go and greet Gilbert first. After all, he has helped us a lot. It is against etiquette to leave quietly like this.”

“Yes,”Bunduk and Abel agreed.

On the way to the palace, the three of them were quite quiet. However, after seeing the palace door of the Council Palace, Abel suddenly thought of something and said to Kant, “Your Majesty, I haven’t talked to Gilbert about the matter we discussed before.”

“What is it?”Bunduk asked curiously.

“Nothing.”Kant waved his hand at Bunduk, “Let’s put that matter aside for now. Last night, I thought about it. Gilbert was conducting an investigation behind our back. Perhaps it was because of his own considerations. Let’s not make things difficult for him.”

“Alright then.”Abel thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Bunduk, who was listening at the side, was confused. With a puzzled expression, he stepped into Gilbert’s palace with the two people beside him.

Before they arrived, a soldier reported to Gilbert that Bunduk had arrived at the palace.

Therefore, Gilbert was not very surprised by their resignation.

“Your Highness, Gilbert.”Besides Kant, Abel and Bunduk both knelt down on one knee, facing Gilbert’s bags on the throne.

“Please Rise.”Gilbert nodded with a smile. “I knew that after Bunduk returns to the city, you would be in a hurry to say goodbye to me and prepare to leave. How is it? What are your plans next?”

“Let’s return to the town first,”Kant replied. “This matter is not over yet, and we will continue to investigate.”

“You don’t have any foundation on this small island. It’s better to act according to your abilities.”Gilbert exhaled, he looked at Kant and said, “But don’t worry too much. The nomads of the Gnome race will secretly take care of you. If your Highness Kant has any inconvenience, feel free to ask them for help.”

“Yes, Thank You, Your Highness Gilbert.”Kant bowed and said, “Then we will take our leave first. Thank you for your hospitality these past few days.”

“Mm.”Gilbert’s gaze finally landed on Bunduk, he said to him, “However, how is the recovery of Commander Bunduk’s body? I heard that you had a fierce battle with the members of the dark forces at the foot of the mountain.”

“It’s alright. The bruises on his body have basically healed. Thank you for Your Highness’concern.”Bunduk cupped his fists and said.

“It’s good that you have recovered.”Gilbert nodded with relief. “Since everyone is in a hurry to travel, I will not continue to delay you. There is a prepared carriage at the palace gate for everyone to take.”

“Yes, Your Highness Gilbert, we will meet again in the future.”After leaving these words, Kant quietly turned around and left. Bunduk and Abel bowed slightly to Gilbert, followed by Kant and walked out of the palace.

Kant and Abel still had to return to their rooms to pack their bags. Alone, Bunduk walked to the entrance of the palace. When he met the coachman who was waiting for them, he chatted with him while waiting for the other two to arrive.

Not long after, Kant and Abel simply packed their bags and found Bunduk. The three of them boarded the carriage used by Gilbert and rushed to the teleportation point halfway up the mountain.

“Where will this carriage take us?”Bunduk gradually lost his strength. As he endured the bumpy ride of the carriage on the mountain road, he asked with a pale face.

“The stronghold of the teleportation formation.”Abel opened his eyes in a daze. The carriage had been traveling for nearly an hour. When they passed the city gate, Abel and Kant could not help but feel sleepy and fell asleep in the carriage.

Although the light in the carriage was relatively dim, Abel still noticed that something was unusual about Bunduk. He immediately placed his hand on his forehead and asked, “Bunduk, how do you feel?”

“I feel a little dizzy and want to vomit.”Bunduk took a few deep breaths and continued, “I’m fine. I think I’m just a Little Carsick.”

“Since when do you get Carsick?”Abel frowned. “How have you been taking care of yourself recently? How did your body become so weak?”

“I’m really fine.”Bunduk shook his head and said.

Seeing that he did not want to explain, Abel could only temporarily not delve into this problem. He moved his seat in the shaking carriage and sat down beside Bunduk, he placed his hand on Bunduk’s tightly clenched fist.

After Abel leaned over, Bunduk felt the restlessness in his heart gradually calm down. The suffocation that lingered in his chest also lessened a lot.

“Are you feeling better?”Abel asked.

“Much better. Thank you.”Bunduk smiled and said, “Abel, when you are discharged from the army, you can start a clinic. There will definitely be a lot of customers.”

“Thank you for your kind words.”Abel smiled. He glanced at Bunduk and said, “It will probably take another half an hour to arrive. You should rest for a while. I will wake you up later.”

“Okay.”After the symptoms of discomfort disappeared, Bunduk’s drowsiness also spread throughout his body. Soon, he leaned on Abel’s shoulder and fell asleep.

By the time the carriage stopped at the entrance of the teleportation formation, the three of them had already recovered their mind power and got down from the carriage.

“My Lords, I have already informed the Lord Mage who is in charge of running the teleportation formation. “After you enter, you can take the last teleportation formation to the foot of the mountain today.”The Coachman walked in front of the three of them, after bowing, he said respectfully.

“Thank you. It’s getting late. Please hurry back to the city,”Kant said politely to the coachman.

The gnome coachman smiled and replied, “You’re too kind, Lord. I’ll take my leave first. I wish you a safe journey.”

“Mm. Be careful on your way,”Bunduk reminded.

The three of them watched as the carriage driver drove off. When they saw him disappear at the corner of the Mountain Road, they came back to their senses and turned to walk into the teleportation formation’s stronghold.

Logically speaking, at this time, the teleportation formation’s stronghold should have been closed long ago. However, Gilbert had specially sent someone to inform the teleportation formation’s operator, asking them to delay the closing time today in order to send Bunduk and the others down the mountain.

After walking out of the teleportation formation at the base of the small town at the foot of the mountain, Bunduk looked behind him longingly.

“What are you looking at?”Abel stared at him and asked curiously.

“A mage is really amazing.”Bunduk sighed. “I wish I could be a mage in my next life.”

Abel laughed softly and said, “Hehe, it’s much more difficult to cultivate a spell than to temper one’s body. Some people will never be able to break through the first realm in their entire lives. A mage who can control the entire teleportation formation should be an advanced mage.”

“Is cultivating a spell very time-consuming?”Bunduk asked in surprise. “I thought all of you knew how to use a spell from the moment you were born.”

“How can that be?”Bunduk shook his head, he said, “Although most elves are born with magic power, there’s still a gap between that and the spell they cast. You should be talking about the aptitude to cultivate a spell.”

“I see.”Bunduk thought for a while and agreed.

“There are also many classification of spells,”Abel continued to explain. “If you want to be a mage who runs a teleportation formation, then you have to devote yourself wholeheartedly to the spell of space displacement.”

“Is the spell of space displacement very troublesome?”Bunduk asked with a glimmer of hope.

“It’s quite troublesome. This kind of spell needs to be studied by myself. Compared to the uniqueness of physique, this is more important,”Abel pointed at his head and said.

Bunduk’s eyes widened and said, “You still need to study it by yourself? That’s really too difficult for me.”

“What are you guys talking about?”Kant interrupted and said.

“Commander Bunduk said that he wants to be a mage.”Abel smiled and said, “I’m talking to him about spell.”

“Mage?”Kant shifted his gaze to Bunduk and asked, “Why did you suddenly think of this?”

Seeing that Bunduk was embarrassed to speak, he felt embarrassed. Abel explained for him, “I think Bunduk likes the teleportation formation that we sat in before.”

“I see.”Kant nodded. “Bunduk, if you are really curious, you can ask Abel to teach you a few spells. Since you have thought of it, you can try it yourself.”

“Is that okay?”Bunduk asked in surprise.

Abel was also very surprised by Kant’s instructions. When talking about this topic, he thought Kant would definitely pass it off as a joke. He didn’t Expect Your Highness to actually become serious.

“Abel, can I?”Kant asked Abel on behalf of Bunduk.

“… Yes. But I’m a water elf, and I only know water-type spells,”Abel said hesitantly. “But the attributes of the soldier under my command are different. Among them, there will always be someone who learns a spell that is suitable for Bunduk’s physique.”

“Yes.”Kant nodded and said to bunduk, “Bunduk, have you done the preliminary test of your physique?”

“Preliminary… what?”Bunduk asked in puzzlement.

“A test to test the elemental attributes of the magic power in your body.”Abel was slightly surprised. “How Does Your Highness Kant Know About This?”

“As the Lord of the Elf Kingdom, it’s not surprising that I know about this, right?”Kant shrugged and said with a relaxed smile.

“That’s true…”Abel thought for a moment and nodded.

“If you really want to learn a spell, it’s better to do a test,”Kant suggested to Bunduk. “If someone teaches you a spell that conflicts with your body’s attributes, it will be harmful to your body.”

“HMM…”bunduk frowned and thought for a while, he shook his head and said, “Actually, I’m just casually mentioning it. Spell is still too heavy for me. And it sounds like that test is quite troublesome.”

“As you wish,”Kant replied indifferently. “However, it’s a good thing to learn more things.”

“Yes.”Bunduk nodded.

The dark clouds that were still hovering over the town yesterday had all dispersed. Although it was already night time, there were still many nomads strolling around on the streets. The clear night breeze brushed past the ears of Kant and the others. Kant took a deep breath and said, “Let’s find a hotel to stay in. Now that dinner has passed and we have put down our bags at the inn, Let’s go to the street where we used to stay and make up for our dinner.”

“Yes,”Abel and Bunduk agreed. The two walked in front of Kant, looking for a suitable inn on both sides of the street. Finally, they stopped in front of an inn called ‘Chunxi Pavilion’.

“This inn looks quite clean.”After walking into the inn, Bunduk looked around and said.

“The name is also quite artistic,”Abel said.

“It’s early March, and it’s close to the flowering season. Staying here can be said to be in keeping with the times.”Abel nodded.

They were greeted by an orcs accountant. The accountant explained to them, “There’s a fireworks festival tonight. The inn’s owner gave his employees a holiday, and the guests went to the streets after dinner.”. Therefore, the inn seemed a little deserted, and he asked them not to take offense.

“So there are so many people on the streets because there are activities on the streets,”Abel suddenly realized.

“Every spring, the merchants in the town will organize a fireworks display. Our boss will also participate. “The fireworks are quite beautiful. If the guests are interested, you can go to the streets to take a look,”the accountant suggested to the three of them while settling the bill, the cashier advised them with a smile.

“Thank you.”Kant nodded. “If we have time, we will definitely go take a look.”

“Yes, your rooms are on the second floor at the corner of the stairs. The door number is marked on the key. I Won’t send you upstairs.”The cashier smiled.

“Yes.”Bunduk glanced at the cashier’s right leg, which was tightly bandaged, and asked him, “Your leg seems to be quite serious?”

“It’s fine. It’s just that there was an accident and I accidentally fell,”the cashier said.

Kant wanted to stop talking, but when he saw the cashier immediately cover his right leg behind the counter, his eyes couldn’t help but become confused. He asked, “Did you fall?”

“Yes.”The cashier nodded. “I stepped on the empty stairs and fell down from upstairs.”

“Then we have to be careful,”Kant replied with a hint of meaning. “We’ll go upstairs first. We’ll bring our bags up ourselves, so we don’t need to trouble the waiter.”

“Okay, I hope you’ll like it here.”The clerk nodded with a smile.

Kant strode upstairs, holding the key handed to him by the clerk.

“No. 102…”Kant carefully looked at the sign on the door of each room and finally stood in front of the door of the room he had reserved. He unlocked the door and walked in.

The hotel was facing the street, and the floor they lived on was not high. From time to time, they could hear the conversation of passers-by.

After walking into the room, Bunduk immediately pulled open the curtains and let in the Sunset Light. He looked downstairs and said, “There are more and more people on the street. It seems that the fireworks will start soon.”

“Let’s put down our bags and set off,”Kant ordered. “First, we need to return to the street where the snake-woman guild is.”

“Yes,”Abel answered while wiping his face with a towel in the bathroom.

When the three of them came to the lobby again, the orcs’accounting room had disappeared.

“There is no one in the lobby of the inn. It’s too dangerous,”Bunduk said. “Aren’t you worried that a thief will sneak in?”

“That’s not what you said.”Abel shook his head and said, “The security of this town has always been well maintained. Moreover, most of the nomads who came here are from rich and powerful families. How could they have the intention to do such an embarrassing thing?”

“It’s hard to say. After all, the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.”Bunduk shrugged and said.

“Alright, let’s not argue about this. We are walking on this small island, and we didn’t bring any valuable items. Why are you worried about this?”Kant didn’t seem to be worried and advised the two of them.

After hearing Kant’s words, Bunduk and Abel immediately shut their mouths. They quietly followed Kant to the main street.

Because Bunduk had lived in that tavern for a much longer time than the other two, he was probably leading the way the entire time. The place where the three of them set off was still quite a distance away from the original inn. The three of them walked for about half an hour, but they still did not reach their destination.

Seeing that there were more and more pedestrians on the street, Abel asked Bunduk, “Bunduk, how far is it from the snake-woman’s Guild?”

“We’re almost there,”Bunduk turned around and replied, “But there are more and more pedestrians on this street. I don’t know where to go either.”

“Ah?”Abel said in surprise, “You can’t do that. Your Highness Kant and I are relying on you to lead the way.”

“Don’t worry. When we reach the intersection in front and look at the road signs, I’ll know where we are now.”Bunduk waved his hand and said to the two of them. He signaled for them to relax.

Abel and Kant looked at each other, but they still swallowed the words that were about to come out of their mouths.

Perhaps due to his impatience, Bunduk gradually increased his speed in the crowd. Sometimes, he did not even realize that his body had hit the pedestrians on the road.

Abel and Kant followed closely behind him, their hearts trembling with fear. Just as they were about to call out to Bunduk, they saw a man about ten meters away grab Bunduk’s collar. He said fiercely, “Are you blind, Kid? Did you see that you bumped into me?”

Bunduk frowned and said calmly, “I’m sorry. If I bumped into you, I’ll apologize to you. But Can you let go of your hand first? I have something urgent to do.”

“What kind of attitude is that?”The man’s expression became even uglier.

Abel finally could not help but walk out of the crowd and smooth things over. “I’m sorry, Brother. My Friend is a little impatient. It’s his fault for accidentally bumping
