Lord of the Oasis Chapter 807 - Chapter 840-844
Chapter 840: the awkwardness of the first meeting
“Thank you.”Abel nodded and replied.
The two followed behind the waiter and walked to the inn’s entrance. They saw the coachman they met yesterday.
“Lord Kant and Lord Abel.”The Coachman was cleaning the carriage. When he saw Bunduk and Kant, he asked, “How are you two?” He greeted them happily, “I didn’t expect it to be the two of you. I went to the clinic yesterday. How Do You Feel?”
“Not bad,”Abel said with a bitter smile. Speaking of which, the trip yesterday was really a wasted trip.
“Not bad, right? I heard that many people who were seriously ill went there,”the coachman replied with a smile. “Why didn’t you bring Lord Bunduk with you today?”
“He is too tired and is resting in his room,”Kant replied.
“I see.”The Coachman did not continue to ask, but invited them. “Please get on the carriage, we will set off immediately.”
Abel nodded slightly in response, then stepped on the stairs and walked onto the carriage.
Kant glanced at the carriage, walked behind Abel, and followed him into the carriage.
After the two of them sat firmly in the carriage, they heard a shout from outside the door. “Lord, we are leaving now.”
The carriage swayed along with the galloping horses.
Abel and Kant looked at each other helplessly. They gripped the window bars tightly.
The distance between the monitoring station and the base of the teleportation formation was not far. The carriage drove for about ten minutes and arrived at the entrance of the monitoring station.

After the coachman stopped the carriage, he immediately lifted the curtain of the carriage and made an introduction to the two of them. “My Lords, we have arrived at our destination.”
“Okay,”Kant replied. He waved his hand to tidy up the creases on his clothes and strolled out of the carriage.
Abel endured the discomfort brought by the violent bumps and smiled at the coachman. “Thank you for your hard work.”
“It’s alright.”The Coachman smiled foolishly. “The boss asked me to be in charge of picking up and sending off the two lords today. You guys go and handle your matters. I’ll wait in the shed nearby.”
“AH.”Abel’s face revealed an expression that was difficult to describe. He forced himself to speak. “Actually, it doesn’t matter if you go back now. This place isn’t far from the inn. You Don’t have to worry about us.”
“No, no.”The groom waved his hand and said, “I can’t Slack off on the task given to me by the boss. Don’t worry, My Lords. I’m very familiar with waiting for people.”
“Then... Okay.”Abel glanced at Kant. After noticing that the other party didn’t have any signs of discomfort, he compromised.
“Take care, My Lords.”The groom let out a sigh of relief. He returned to his driver’s seat and said goodbye to Kant and Abel.
“Mm.”After saying goodbye to the coachman, Kant turned to Abel and said, “Let’s hurry in.”
“Yes.”Abel immediately replied.
The house of the monitoring station looked much colder compared to the surrounding buildings. Very few people entered and left.
Kant walked to the entrance of the hall with a puzzled expression. When he saw a midget clan soldier standing at the door, he acted as if he was waiting for someone. He immediately walked up and asked, “Hello, I am Kant from Caradia. This is the Elf clan’s soldier captain, Abel. We have previously made an appointment to meet with the dwarf clan chief.”
“Oh,”the dwarf soldier replied respectfully in a panic, “Hello, I am the dwarf soldier sent by the old clan chief to receive all the noble soldiers. Please follow me. The old chief has already arrived at the meeting hall ahead of time and is waiting for you inside.”
“Okay.”Kant nodded. As he followed the dwarf soldier up the stairs, he asked, “May I know your name?”
“My name is Frain,”the dwarf soldier replied politely.
“Okay.”Kant nodded. Asking a person’s name was a very important etiquette when they first met.
The dwarf soldier led them across dozens of floors and arrived at the corridor carpet on the fourth floor, he said, “My two lords, I can only send you here. The old patriarch is waiting for you in the conference room at the end of the corridor.”
“Alright. Thank you for your hard work,”Kant said.
Then, he led Abel to the corridor carpet and walked towards the conference room.
The dwarf soldier turned and left the floor.
The lighting in the corridor was not obvious, after Kant and Abel walked along the light of the fluorescent stones to the end of the corridor.
Found a room with the light of a candle peeking through a crack in the door.
They looked at each other, and Abel stepped forward, raised his hand, and knocked lightly on the door.
“Is anyone there, please?”Abel asked softly through the crack in the door.
After the sound of a chair being dragged, the door lock was twisted open. Abel took a few steps back and saw a dwarf in a long robe appear in front of him.
“You two are?”The dwarf’s tone was not very friendly.
“Kant,”Kant answered simply, “This is General Abel of the Elf Kingdom. We have made an appointment to meet with the dwarf clan leader.”
“Oh, so it’s you.”The dwarf’s tone became respectful as he bowed to Kant. “Please come in, the clan leader has been waiting for you for a long time.”
After Kant and Abel returned the bow, they pushed open the door and entered.
They discovered that there was a large sandalwood table and more than ten chairs placed in the room.
At this moment, the seven or eight dwarves sitting on the chairs were focusing their gazes on the two of them.
“Your Majesty Kant!”The old dwarf dressed in a purple robe stood on the chair and waved in Kant’s direction.
“Hello, Old Patriarch.”Kant walked forward and shook hands with a smile on his face. “Thank you for taking the time to meet us in your busy schedule.”
“I have been a little busy recently, but I must agree to your Majesty Kant’s invitation.”The old patriarch smiled and said, “What happened on the volcano was too hasty. I haven’t had the time to thank your Highness Kant and the general who helped me.”
“Abel came with me specifically to meet with the old patriarch,”Kant said.
Abel took a step forward and took the initiative to extend his hand to the dwarf clan chief, saying, “Old patriarch, long time no see.”
“Long time no see.”The old patriarch said with a warm smile, “How has General Abel been living on this island recently? I also want to know the recent situation of General Devitt and General Claremont.”
“Sigh.”Kant first sighed and then said, “Old patriarch, we came to look for you today partly because of Devitt and Claremont, as well as the soldier under them.”
“What’s Wrong?”The old patriarch gestured Kant and Abel to sit down and asked nervously.
Kant repeated what had happened in the past month. Although he omitted many unnecessary details, he could only stop after his mouth was dry.
Chapter 841: The Promise of the Midget clan’s leader
“That group of mischievous bastards!”After the old clan’s leader heard about Caradia’s journey in the past month.., he said angrily, “Regarding the search for pick, our midget clan will definitely lend a helping hand. Your Highness Kant, don’t worry. As long as this person hasn’t left the island, we will definitely bring him to you.”
“Many thanks, Old Patriarch.”Kant bowed and said politely, “It’s just that Commander Bunduk’s current physical condition is not optimistic. I hope that your subordinates can start moving as soon as possible. “If you have any news, please send it to the ‘Spring Evening Pavilion’. “I will send my subordinates to investigate.”
“Alright.”The Dwarf clan chief replied.
Just as Kant was about to chat with the dwarf clan chief, a dwarf soldier walked in and knocked on the door. He said to the people of the midget clan, “Elders, the people sent by the Dragon Clan have arrived at the mansion.”
“Okay. You may leave first,”a slightly younger midget sitting by the door ordered.
Hearing this, the soldier bowed deeply and retreated to the corridor.
After seeing the soldier leave, the old patriarch said to Kant apologetically, “I’m Sorry, Your Highness Kant. I didn’t expect the people of the Dragon clan to come so quickly.”
“It doesn’t matter. After all, the island is in a period of turmoil. If the old patriarch has something important to do, we can talk about it another day,”Kant said humbly.
“Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty.”The old patriarch lowered his head and said, “The elders and I will take our leave first.”
“Farewell!”When the elders of the Midget clan saw the old patriarch stand up, they also stood up and said goodbye.
“I will leave the matter I mentioned before to you.”Kant said courteously and sent the group of Midget clan members to the door.
“Your Highness Kant, don’t worry. As soon as we have news of this matter, we will send someone to inform you,”the old patriarch said.
“Alright.”Kant nodded.
After watching the group of Midget clan members leave, Kant and Abel returned to the room and rested for a while.
“Your Highness, do you think the Midget clan members will take our request to Heart?”Abel asked worriedly.
Throughout the entire conversation, he did not manage to interrupt with a few words. He had been paying attention to the reactions of the midget elders present.
However, the elders of the Midget clan maintained the same expression from beginning to end. It was as if they did not care about what Kant had said.
This made Abel’s heart tighten.
“With that favor from before, the Midget clan should not completely ignore our request.”Kant also noticed this, he said, “In my imagination, it’s enough to have the strength of the Midget clan participate in this operation.”
“Our soldier will arrive in the town by today.”Abel nodded. “They are the only people we can mobilize.”
“Gilbert should have received our letter.”Kant speculated. “The underlings of the Gnome’s midget clan in the gnome country will be one step ahead of us. “Our soldier only needs to pay attention to any unusual movements in this city.”
“But, didn’t Bunduk say before that pick had already left this town?”Abel said hesitantly. “If we concentrate our main forces in the city...”
“Don’t worry, you’ve heard it before: the croaking tardigrade worm is a breed that the medicine king privately gave to pick,”Kant explained. “Only the medicine king and pick know the effects of this poison the best. “I believe that since the dark side hasn’t made any moves up until now, there are two possibilities. First, they haven’t controlled pick’s movements. “Second, they haven’t found the entrance to use Bunduk.”
“Your Majesty, you mean that the dark side is still in the status of Observation?”Abel asked.
“This is the outcome I hope for.”Kant took a deep breath, “That’s why I asked the Gnome Race, the Midget clan, to take action. I think that even if pick leaves this town, he will be brought back to us by the members of the Dark Side.”
“I hope so.”A glimmer of hope appeared in Abel’s eyes. He said in a low voice.
The two sat quietly in the meeting room for a while, then got up and left the room. At the end of the corridor, they met the dwarf soldier who was leading the way for them.
“My Lords, please take care,”the dwarf soldier said to the two of them.
“Frein, why are you still here?”Kant stopped in front of Frein and asked in puzzlement.
“I was originally a staff member here.”Because Kant had remembered his name, Frein’s tone became a little lighter, introduction: “The fourth floor is not often used. I was specially sent to pick up the two Lords.”
“I see.”Kant nodded. “We are going to take the carriage and leave now. Goodbye.”
“See you next time.”Frein bowed to send them off.
Kant and Abel turned and walked down the stairs, heading straight for the carriage at the door.
When they stopped in front of the carriage, they found that the coachman had fallen asleep in the carriage.
Abel hopped onto the carriage helplessly and scooped Kant up.
“Mr. Coachman?”Abel walked to the coachman’s side and squatted down. He gently shook his shoulders with both hands and called out in a low voice.
As if because his movements were too gentle, the coachman stopped snoring, turned his body, and fell asleep again.
As Abel was thinking about how to wake him up, he heard Kant say, “Why don’t I let you try driving this carriage?”
“Me?”Abel was stunned for a moment, then nodded. “Okay.”
As he spoke, he walked toward the carriage. Kant followed him out and watched him put the horse on his hand. He said worriedly, “It doesn’t matter if you drive slowly.”
Abel nodded. “Your Highness, don’t worry.”
As he spoke, he waved his whip and the horse rushed out of the carriage shed. Kant was almost knocked down on both sides of the road by this sudden movement.
“Your Highness, Are You Alright?”Beads of sweat appeared on Abel’s forehead. At this moment, he was trying his best to ride the Wild Horse as he asked Kant anxiously.
“I’m fine.”Kant held onto the fence at the side. After seeing that the speed of the carriage was gradually slowing down, he waved his hand and said, “You can continue driving here. I’ll go inside the carriage to see how the groom is doing.”
“Okay.”Abel nodded. After seeing Kant turn around and leave, he focused his attention on the horse pulling the carriage.
Kant sat down in the corner of the carriage and bent down to look at the coachman.
The Coachman was still in a deep sleep, but because of the status that had just happened, a large bump had fallen out of his forehead.
Chapter 842: the leader who learned how to drive a carriage
After Abel had recovered from the adjustment period, his posture of driving the carriage became relaxed and casual.
Just as he was feeling proud of his achievements, a scream came from the carriage behind him.
“Oh my! My Head!”In the carriage, the coachman held his forehead and screamed.
Kant, who was sitting in the corner, hesitated for a moment and explained, “I’m sorry, because when we returned to the carriage, we found that you were still taking a lunch break, so we had to let Abel Drive. He doesn’t have much experience...”
“It’s okay, it’s okay.”After the groom realized what had happened, he quickly said apologetically, “I’m sorry. The Sun today was a bit harsh, so I hid in the carriage. I didn’t expect to fall asleep.”
Kant pursed his lips and smiled. “It’s okay. We’re about to arrive at the inn. It’s just that your forehead seems to be swollen...”
“I’ll go back to the inn and apply some ice to it.”The Coachman was too embarrassed to stay in the carriage and continue his conversation with Kant. He bowed and saluted while carefully walking to the driver’s seat outside the carriage.
“Old Sir, you’re Awake?”Abel turned his head and asked. “Thank you for letting me learn how to drive a carriage. I can apply to become a cavalry in the future. Ah, what happened to your forehead?”
After noticing the swollen bump on the groom’s forehead, Abel’s expression changed from joy to worry.
“I accidentally fell down while I was sleeping,”the groom said nonchalantly. Abel’s tone made him feel much more relaxed.
“It can’t be because I just...”Abel raised his hand to cover his mouth, which was wide open from shock. With an apologetic look in his eyes, he said, “I’m really sorry. I wasn’t familiar with it at that time...”
“It’s okay.”The groom hurriedly waved his hand to stop him from apologizing. “I’m very happy that you can help.”
Abel smiled and glanced at the groom. He replied, “Sir, we’re about to arrive at the inn. Can I Park the carriage at the inn’s entrance?”
“Of course.”The groom smiled. “Leave the rest to me.”
“Thank you.”Abel nodded.
Under the guidance of the coachman, Abel stopped the carriage at the entrance of the inn. He walked into the carriage and called out to Kant, “Your Highness, we’re back at the Inn.”
“Okay.”Kant nodded in agreement. Then, he stood up and walked out of the carriage with Abel.
After the Coachman said goodbye to them, he whipped the carriage and drove it to the stable.
“How do you feel?”Kant asked Abel with a smile. “You seem to be in a good mood.”
“Pretty good,”Abel replied with a smile. “But I wonder if there is a big difference between riding a horse and driving a horse.”
“The general method is similar,”Kant suggested. “You can try more after you return to the Elf Kingdom.”
“Thank you for Your Reminder, your Majesty Kant,”Abel said politely.
The two laughed and walked into the inn’s lobby. They found Bunduk sitting on the dining chair in the lobby, drinking tea while waiting for their return.
“Your Majesty! Abel!”When Bunduk saw the two figures, he immediately stood up and called out.
“Bunduk, how was your rest?”Abel walked quickly to Bunduk and asked him.
“When I woke up today, I felt a bit of a headache. The rest is fine,”Bunduk said with a smile. “I’m in good spirits now.”
“That’s good.”Kant sat down on another chair and drank tea with Bunduk.
Bunduk glanced at Kant, pursed his dry lips, and said hesitantly, “Your Highness, I heard from the shop owner that the two of you went to look for help from the Midget clan this morning.”
“Yes.”Abel stood to the side and explained, “We saw that you were still resting, so we didn’t have the heart to wake you up. Don’t blame us.”
After hearing that, Bunduk swallowed the words that were about to come out of h
