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.

Chapter 826: conditions for becoming a mage

“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.

Chapter 827: Inn of the Orcs

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 into you. Calm down.”

“I’m also quite impatient. I’m not like him who rampaged through the streets like this.”The man was still unrelenting.

“Are you done? !”Bunduk raised his head and shouted at the man.

Abel was startled by this sentence. He turned his head to look at Bunduk in disbelief and said, “Bunduk, what’s Wrong?”

Kant, who was standing quietly by the side, also frowned strangely when he saw Bunduk’s outburst. He walked up to Bunduk and called out sternly, “Bunduk, you were wrong in this matter. Aren’t you going to admit your mistake?”

After Bunduk met Kant’s gaze, the anger in his chest slowly subsided. Then, he lowered his head with a gloomy expression and did not say a word.

Abel’s expression also became strange. He muttered in his heart, ‘what’s wrong with this person?’.

“Yo!”The man was also stunned by Bunduk’s sudden outburst. When he came back to his senses.., he immediately pointed at Bunduk and said, “I’ll remember you, Kid. Don’t let me catch you when you leave the city.”

After leaving this sentence, the man cursed and left the scene.

The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed. Abel hurriedly walked to the front of Bunduk and asked in puzzlement, “Bunduk, what happened to you just now? Do you know that person?”

“I don’t know him.”Bunduk was silent for a long time before he said quietly.

“Then why are you yelling at him? If you cause trouble in this small town, you will be arrested and thrown into prison.”Abel put his arm around Bunduk’s shoulder and wanted to comfort him, but he found that the clothes on Bunduk’s back were already soaked in sweat. After a flash of surprise, Abel turned his gaze to Kant.

Kant pursed his lips and did not say anything. After seeing that Bunduk had regained his breath, he stretched out his hand and said to him, “Let’s go. Let’s have dinner first.”

“… Yes.”Bunduk held the hand that Kant handed over and supported himself to stand up.

The three of them walked silently into a restaurant by the roadside. However, they did not seem to fit in with the lively atmosphere in the restaurant.

A waiter at the door hesitantly walked forward to welcome them. “Are you all here to eat?”

“Yes,”Abel replied.

“If the three of you are here to eat together, there are still empty seats upstairs in our restaurant. Everyone can watch the fireworks,”the waiter introduced as he led the way.

“Is the fireworks convention about to start?”Abel asked.

“Yes, the fireworks meet will start at eight o’clock. It’s less than fifteen minutes from now.”The waiter looked at the pocket watch in his hand and explained with a smile.

Chapter 828: the other self in the body

“Then let’s go up to the second floor to take a look,”Kant agreed.

“Please follow me,”the waiter greeted the three of them and led them up the stairs in the corner of the hall to the restaurant on the second floor.

There were also many guests on the second floor. Before the waiter brought the three of them to the empty seats, he said, “Please Wait a moment. There will be a special waiter coming to serve you soon.”

“Okay.”Kant nodded and took a seat by the window.

“Sorry to trouble you,”Abel said to the waiter. He sat down on the chair next to Bunduk.

The waiter smiled subtly and took his leave.

Kant and the others were seated near the window, but they were seated near the front, almost to the corner of the wall.

After a while, two unfamiliar waiters brought tea and a menu. They stood on both sides of the table and said, “Welcome to our restaurant. After the customers place their orders, we will serve delicious food as soon as possible.”

“Okay.”Abel took the menu and carefully read it page by page. Halfway through, Abel glanced at Bunduk, who was looking out of the window in a daze. He asked, “Bunduk, do you have anything you want to order?”

“AH.”Bunduk came back to his senses and said, “No… No.”

Abel slowly nodded and began to report the dishes he liked to the waiters standing on both sides.

At this time, Kant had already ordered his own dinner. He sat quietly at the side and drank tea.

“This is it,”Abel said politely. “Please report it to the kitchen.”

“Okay. Please wait a moment, my lords,”the two waiters respectfully took back the menu and said. Then, they disappeared from the sight of the three people.

“I ordered a set meal recommended here for you. It has steak and so on,”Abel introduced to Bunduk.

“Oh, okay.”Bunduk nodded blankly. “Thank you.”

“Tell me what you think.”Kant put down the Teacup and stared at Bunduk.

Bunduk nervously pursed his lips and said, “About what happened just now?”

“Yes. If you have other things to refer to, you can also tell me everything.”Kant nodded.

“I feel that I am a little strange.”Bunduk glanced at Kant and Abel and said hesitantly, “I feel that the person living in my body has been changed.”

“Yes.”Kant let out a long breath and said, “When did you start to feel this way?”

“After you went up the mountain, when I was alone in the hotel,”Bunduk said, “At first, I thought that it was because I hadn’t been alone for too long, which made it easy for my imagination to run wild when I was alone. “But after meeting you, I found that this judgment was wrong.”

“What do you mean?”Abel asked worriedly. “What did you find?”

“That feeling is still going on.”Bunduk held his forehead, “Recently, many thoughts that wouldn’t have appeared in my head before,”he said. “And most of those thoughts are very dangerous. I can’t control them.”

“Have those thoughts affected your behavior?”Kant asked.

“No, it’s just that this strange feeling is giving me a headache.”Bunduk closed his eyes in pain and explained, “That’s why I couldn’t help but shout out in the street just now. “Because the thoughts in my head were always urging me to attack that nomads.”

“So the words you shouted were said to your own body?”Abel said in surprise.

He had never heard of such a case before.

“Yes.”Bunduk’s eyes glanced out of the window and said softly, “I’m very afraid. If this continues, my behavior will also be out of control.”

“As long as we find the cause of the incident, there will be a way to solve this problem.”Kant thought for a while and said, “I remember you saying that the Beast Tamer put some kind of insect worm on you, right?”

“Yes.”Bunduk nodded and said, “But I’ve already drank the antidote that the Beast Tamer gave me, and the stiffness in my body completely disappeared after I took the medicine.”

“I think that your recent experiences can still be attributed to that Beast Tamer,”Kant concluded.

“But that Beast Tamer has already left this small town.”Bunduk sighed. “I’ve asked many people, but I haven’t been able to find any traces of him.”

“After dinner, we’ll immediately head to the snake-woman’s union. We’ll look for clues at the place where you were attacked,”Kant said after thinking for a moment.

“Yes,”Bunduk and Abel agreed.

After their conversation ended, the food was pushed to the table by the dining cart.

“Please enjoy your meal.”After the waiter served the food, he turned around and left.

At this time, some customers on the first floor walked to the window on the second floor, saying that they wanted to take a better position to watch the fireworks.

Kant showed a cold expression at this scene. Abel also felt that the dining table was surrounded by a crowd, and his face showed discomfort. He stood up and said to the nomads next to him, “Don’t you see that there are people eating? Why are you all crowded here?”

“Yes, a good dinner was ruined by you people.”After Abel spoke, someone in the restaurant immediately echoed.

The people from both sides began to argue, and the situation in front of them seemed to be on the verge of taking action.

Bunduk walked into the crowd and fished out Abel, who was talking non-stop. He wanted to take him away.

“If you have the ability, don’t leave.”Among the opposing camp, a sharp-eyed nomads noticed Bunduk’s actions and immediately walked over. He grabbed Bunduk’s arm and stopped him.

Bunduk sized him up and said impatiently, “Get out of the way.”

“Who are you? Why are you so unreasonable?”This nomads also became anxious. He called out to a few nomads behind him and blocked Bunduk’s path.

“Fight them. This time, it’s on me,”Abel stood behind Bunduk and said hatefully.

Bunduk turned around and looked at him helplessly. He then looked at the few thin nomads in front of him and said, “I’ll advise you again. Don’t block the way.”

“What? You want to fight?”The leading nomads took a step forward and said with a fierce expression.

Bunduk quickly walked forward and punched the other party’s chest.

The soldier who received Bunduk’s punch with his chest didn’t move like a mountain. He didn’t hear the cheers from the crowd. His expression changed from fear to surprise. He really didn’t expect the other party to really fight. After all, although the tavern was indoors, it wouldn’t be easy to be caught by the patrolling soldier.

However, when Bunduk, who was several times taller than him, punched him in the chest. The nomads thought in surprise, ‘why is this punch so light?’?

Chapter 829: Commander who has lost his strength

“Are you kidding me?”The nomads who had been punched threw away the toothpick in their mouths and said, “You still dare to act like this with such little strength?”

While Bunduk was still in a state of shock, the nomads threw a punch with all their might and hit Bunduk’s right cheek.

Feeling the sweet taste in his mouth, Bunduk was even more stunned.

Seeing that the situation had changed drastically, Abel pointed at the nomads who had thrown the punch and shouted, “You dare to hit me? Everyone! Go!”

“Go!”The nomads on Abel’s side rushed forward. Abel rushed halfway and returned to Bunduk’s side, dragging him out of the chaotic crowd.

However, he did not see Kant’s figure. He asked the waiter, who was anxiously walking down the stairs, “Hey, did you see the guest with us?”

“Yes, I saw him. That Lord went downstairs early in the morning and said that he was waiting for you two at the entrance of the lobby.”The waiter was suddenly stopped by someone and was shocked. After seeing their faces clearly, he answered.

“Yes, okay. Thank you.”Abel nodded and said.

After Abel let go of his hand, the waiter immediately left.

While dragging Bunduk down the stairs, Abel met the tavern owner who hurriedly went up the stairs to check the situation.

“Two guests, are you okay?”The owner asked anxiously.

“We’re fine.”Abel saw the tavern owner sizing up Bunduk, so he explained, “But he seems to have been scared by that group of people. Please don’t take offense.”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”The tavern owner quickly apologized, “Those customers have disturbed your meal. Tonight’s meal is free. I only hope that the Lord will not spread this matter.”

“Okay, okay.”Abel did not expect to get such a bargain. He pursed his lips and nodded in agreement.

“Take care, My Lords.”The tavern owner rushed upstairs to take care of the situation, and did not have the mood to stay for a while to chat with the two. After apologizing politely, he immediately left.

“Let’s go. Your Highness Kant is still waiting for us,”Abel said to Bunduk.

After stepping down the stairs, Bunduk immediately saw Kant’s figure. He waved his hand and greeted him, “Your Highness Kant.”

“Well, how are you?”Kant left his seat and went downstairs to the lobby to get some fresh air when Abel was the first to speak and argue with the guests who had squeezed up the stairs.

At this moment, he saw the swollen right side of Bunduk’s face and asked, “Bunduk, what happened to you?”

“I asked him to help me clear the way, but in the end, he punched the chest of the nomads who were blocking the way, but the nomads didn’t react at all.”Abel glanced at Bunduk and explained, “I was beaten up by them.”

“How can that be?”Kant was puzzled. “With your skills, the customers in this shop shouldn’t be your match, right?”

“I thought it was very strange too.”Abel stroked his chin and said.

“It’s over.”Bunduk, who had been silent all this time, covered his face and said, “Not only is my consciousness not my own, my body has also become strange.”

“You’re probably just too tired,”Kant said worriedly.

Compared to Kant’s skills, he was more worried about the state that Bunduk was in right now.

“No, definitely not.”Bunduk stood up and stated, “When I attacked, I had already decided to use a few percent of my strength to repel this group of people. However, when my fist touched them, I did not feel a trace of strength in my body.”

“Let’s quickly go to the scene where you fought with pick.”Abel sighed and suggested, “Right now, for Bunduk’s condition, every minute and second is crucial.”

“Mm.”Kant nodded in agreement with Abel’s words. At this moment, Bunduk’s body was changing at any time. This was too terrifying. Perhaps after a few days, Bunduk in front of him would unknowingly transform into a complete stranger, and even his consciousness would be devoured.

“Fortunately, I have all of you by my side at this moment,”Bunduk said softly.

If he was alone, perhaps until his consciousness disappeared, the world would still be peaceful.

The three of them sped up and walked toward the snake-woman union.

“Bang, Bang, Bang!”

As the three of them walked forward, fireworks lit up in the sky. Many nomads who were walking on the street stopped and stood still to watch the fireworks. After the first round of fireworks ended, everyone rushed to the place where the fireworks were shot off.

“The fireworks this year are really beautiful.”

Abel heard the passers-by discussing.

However, he was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery that shone in the sky. He only focused on the ground.

After the crowd began to move, the three of them found it difficult to move. They could only hold hands and move sideways.

Fortunately, after the intersection at the end of the street was separated from the crowd, the crowded situation finally eased a little.

“The snake-woman guild is ahead, right?”Abel looked at the towering sign on the top of the guild building and said joyfully.

“Yes.”Kant raised his head and looked in that direction. He said, “We’re almost there.”

When the three of them got closer, they found that the sign in front of the Guild had been changed. It read: because of the preparations before the Fireworks Festival, the guild is resting today.

“He’s really willful,”Abel said softly. In his heart, he began to wonder who was the operator of this guild.

“The losses caused by the battle that day have been completely repaired. No traces can be seen,”Kant said in disappointment as he looked around.

The brick walls that had been destroyed were now completely new. Even the potholes on the road had been filled up.

“The repair work of the GNOME soldier has indeed been done well,”Abel nodded.

“I remember a place. Follow me.”Even though his consciousness was very blurry at the time, Bunduk was still able to accurately remember the road leading to Pick’s living quarters.

The other two followed closely behind Bunduk with puzzled expressions. After turning a street corner, they arrived at a famous living quarters.

“This is Pick’s living quarters?”Abel asked.

When they reached the second floor, a house that was obviously abandoned appeared in front of the three of them.

Bunduk knew that he was on the right path. He did not immediately step into the house. Instead, he stopped at the door and sized up the stairwell where he was fighting against Gilbert.

“I remember that pick was blasted into the wall by me. There should be a big hole here. Has It been repaired so quickly?”Bunduk pointed at a wall by the door and said.
