Lord of the Oasis-Chapter 812 - Chapters 861-864

Chapter 861: the fickleness of the world

Most of the inn’s guests stood in their original positions, unsure of what to do.

They were all arranged to stay here by their acquaintances in the town. They did not usually walk around the inn, so naturally, they knew nothing about Kant and the others.

From the conversation between Kant and the Beastman, the reason why these attackers came to find them was indeed because their targets were Kant and the others.

If they did not understand the situation, should they continue to participate in this mess?

Most of the nomads wandering in the lobby and the escalators had such thoughts in their minds.

“I don’t know anything. I need to go back to my room and pack my bags now. What does your conflict with those people have to do with us?”A dwarf walked out of the crowd and said to the CARADIA soldier and his group.

The leading soldier glanced at Kant who was sitting on the chair and stopped the dwarf who was about to turn around and leave.

“Please Wait,”the soldier said.

“What? You want to force others to stay?”There was a hint of annoyance in the dwarf’s tone.

“Those who want to stay will stay, and those who want to leave will leave,”Kant said calmly. “Some people are worried that they will get into trouble. Such thoughts are unavoidable. “But on behalf of Caradia, I promise everyone who did not leave the table to participate in the discussion. “Whatever you say, we will not leak it out. “Moreover, as long as you choose to continue staying in the inn, we can guarantee the safety of all of your lives before you leave the town.”

After Kant said this, the noisy scene became quiet.

After a while, the passengers who were trapped by choice found a chair near the dining table and sat down.

“... Alright then.”The Dwarf who was stopped by the soldier frowned and thought for a while, then agreed.

The soldier on the side saw that Kant’s attitude was somewhat relaxed, and immediately brought him to a chair near Kant and sat down.

“Thank you for Your Trust.”Kant nodded, then shifted his gaze to the dwarf beside him and asked, “What’s Your Name?”

“Moliere.”The dwarf glanced at Kant and replied.

“Mm.”Kant raised his head and said to all the nomads, “Perhaps before today, none of you knew who we were. “Then let me first make a self-introduction. “My name is Kant. I am the Lord of the oasis country called Caradia on another continent. “The people with me are the soldier and generals from Caradia.”

“Hello, everyone. My name is Bunduk. I am the commander of the troops of Caradia.”After receiving Kant’s signal, Bunduk made a brief introduction.

“Hello, everyone. My name is Abel. “I am a soldier from the Elf Kingdom. “The troops of our elf kingdom and the soldiers of Caradia were sent to this small island to carry out a mission together.”After hearing their words, Abel spoke, he spoke consciously.

“So it’s You!”One of the passengers in the crowd screamed in surprise. “You went up the mountain and rescued the Midget clan. I’ve heard that you also have the names of the other two human captain.”

“Yes.”Abel smiled and nodded. “Then do you know the current situation of Klidoff Dave?”

Even when he met the dwarf clan last time, he had never heard the dwarf clan chief mention Klidoff Dave’s name. Now that he met someone who knew the inside story, Abel couldn’t help but ask.

“I heard that he has been removed from his post by the Supervision Department.”The tenant thought for a moment and replied, “But after that, no one has seen him. I don’t know if the midget clan imprisoned him or if he escaped somewhere by himself.”

“I see,”Abel said, “If that person was only removed from his post, the punishment for removing him from his post is too light based on what he has done.”

“Is Dave Klidoff the councilman who set up a trap to make the world think that the Midget clan disappeared?”Kant raised his eyebrows and asked.

“Yes. The reason we came to this island is probably because of what he did,”Abel said angrily.

“I see,”Kant replied.

“Let’s not talk about this for now. Everyone, tell us what happened to you today.”Bunduk recalled the letter Devitt wrote. On the letter.., it did mention the name of the person named Klidoff. However, the most important thing now was to consolidate the clues in everyone’s hands. Therefore, he hurriedly asked the host, “Who will speak first?”

“Everyone’s experiences are similar, right? I think...”a passenger in the crowd said.

“Yes, yes.”All the other passengers, even a few attendants, echoed.

“You guys stayed together?”Bunduk was stunned and said.

“Yes.”Another passenger explained, “Everyone was called to the lobby by a young waiter. He said that some of the leftovers from this morning were found to contain toxins. “Everyone who has eaten breakfast needs to go downstairs for a health check.”

“Did any of us receive such news?”Bunduk confirmed with the soldier behind him. After receiving a negative answer, Bunduk turned to the tenant and asked, “When you were called to the hall, what time was it?”

“Around seven o’clock at night,”the tenant replied.

“I see.”Bunduk seemed to have thought of something and muttered under his breath.

“At that time, we were still eating in the dining hall.”Abel thought carefully. “But why didn’t we hear anything downstairs?”

Kant pondered for a moment and asked, “What did the waiter who brought you the news look like?”

“He was thinner than the other orcs, and his face was pale,”the tenant answered as he recalled.

“Could it be the same person?”Abel and Kant looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion. Then they shouted, “Right? Where did that waiter go? We haven’t seen him in the cellar?”

“If he is a member of the Dark Side, he should have escaped from this inn by now,”Bunduk said. “If he is a staff member who was kidnapped in the inn...”

Bunduk didn’t have the heart to say the rest of his words.

“Do you know the waiter mentioned by the tenant?”Kant asked the others.

“Of course they do,”Bunduk said calmly.

“Bunduk?”Abel asked in confusion, “Have you seen this waiter with other waiters before?”

“Yes, when I went to the backyard to boil medicine tonight.”Bunduk looked coldly at the two or three waiters and said, “He and he are bullying that waiter with their fists and feet.”

The two waiters who were named by Bunduk looked embarrassed.

Chapter 862: the helpless situation

After hearing this, Abel’s expression also became solemn. He said, “I didn’t expect this kind of thing to happen in this shop. It seems that the things that happened today have finally found the source. You two have to give us a good explanation.”

The two orcs looked at each other, the attendant standing opposite Kant said, “My lords, the attack by an outsider really has nothing to do with us. “In terms of who is to blame, it was that attendant who made a mistake and let the attacker take advantage of the loophole.”

“Stop bullshitting me!”Abel frowned, he shouted, “Is it up to you to decide whether it’s right or wrong? I hate it the most when you gang up and bully the weak bastards. Now, straighten out the timeline of what you know and ask the others what you did wrong!”

“... Yes.”The waiter pursed his lips, he replied, “This waiter is an orphan brought back from the suburbs by our boss. He is weak and withdrawn. We usually just... Play around with him. I didn’t expect this kid to poison our food. However, the heavens take care of us. This morning, everyone went to the city gate to help unload the goods and had breakfast in the tavern on the street. “The employee’s meal was thrown away.”

“And then?”Bunduk asked coldly, “When did you find out?”

“When we returned to the shop at noon, we didn’t know about this.”The waiter continued, “But the people from the sanitation center on the street came to our shop and said that the leftovers sent by the kitchen were poisoned. “At that time, the cashier panicked and immediately asked us to search the kitchen to find out who poisoned them and how.”

“You didn’t immediately inform the guests in the shop?”Abel asked in puzzlement.

“At that time, even if we informed everyone, we couldn’t explain it clearly,”the waiter standing in the corner replied.

“Go on,”Kant said faintly.

“Then, that Kid’s actions were discovered by us.”The attendant paused for a moment before continuing, “Before we brought him before the Lord of the accounting department, we dealt him a heavy blow in the backyard and taught him a lesson.”

“It shouldn’t be just a heavy blow, right?”Bunduk recalled the scene he saw. After taking a deep breath, he said, “Didn’t that attendant faint?”

“No! That Kid is definitely playing dead. Seeing that you are here, Lord, he...”the waiter defended himself.

“If I hadn’t appeared in the backyard, that waiter would have been knocked unconscious by you.”Bunduk interrupted him and said, “Continue to tell me what happened next.”

“Yes...”the waiter’s expression didn’t look good. After all, he was used to being arrogant among the waiters. When he was suddenly taught a lesson, he couldn’t refute. It was inevitable that his mood was not good However, Kant and the others had taken great care of their inn. As the waiter in the inn, he had to endure whatever words Bunduk said At this time, he replied in a low and humble voice, “After you leave, Lord, we will send Jackie to the cashier and let him do as he pleases At this time, Jackie woke up again and cried to the cashier about how we usually treated him The cashier said, “After this matter is settled, we will deal with the few of us.”

“Next, we will go to each guest room and call all the guests, saying that we are doing a health inspection,”another waiter added.

“And then? Why didn’t you inform us? When was the cashier killed?”Kant asked.

“Because, apart from dinner time, our main target of investigation is the guests who had breakfast or lunch in the restaurant. They didn’t eat in the restaurant. The only person who had eaten was Mr. Kant, and the dishes he ordered were cooked by the head chef of the restaurant. The ingredients used by the head chef were purchased and stored by him.”

“I see.”Kant nodded. “Then how did the accountant get killed?”

“It was that kid, Jackie. I heard the accountant talking to him alone in the kitchen. After a while, I heard the news that the accountant was killed.”The waiter’s eyes seemed to be spitting fire as he gnashed his teeth.

“Jackie? !”Bunduk said in surprise.

“There were only two people in the kitchen, he and the cashier. It must be him.”The waiter nodded.

“Who was the first person to discover the scene?”Kant raised his hand and asked everyone in the hall.

The nomads who were listening to the story attentively were stunned for a moment, then they pointed at each other.

“I remember it was Mr. Dewitz...”

“No, I heard it from someone else,”the person named denied.

In the end, they still could not find the source of the news.

Everyone’s expression became distressed.

“If no one is lying,”Kant lowered his eyes and said, “It seems that the first person who discovered this scene was one of the group of people who were kidnapped just now.”

“Your Majesty, you mean...”Abel widened his eyes and recalled the scene he saw in the corridor when Jackie came to deliver the message. Then, he asked the waiter urgently, “How were you kidnapped by those people?”

“Mr. Cashier died of suffocation because he was strangled by a rope,”the waiter said. “Except for the hall, the kitchen can only lead to the backyard. “When all of us were searching the backyard, we were attacked from behind. “Therefore, before the attackers revealed their identities, we didn’t know who the attackers were.”

“It seems that Jackie chose to cooperate with the people from the dark side in the panic,”Kant said with a nod.

“Their conditions were probably ‘they will send you out of the town safely’or something like that,”Bunduk sighed and said.

“After I saw through their conspiracy, Jackie should have already escaped from this inn,”Abel said. “He is now penniless. I wonder where he will run to?”

“I don’t know,”Bunduk replied in a deep voice.

“I think he will still return to the inn. After all, this is the only place he can hide in this town,”Kant said. “Whether he killed him or not, we have to ask him personally when the time comes.”

“Yes.”Bunduk nodded.

“My Lords, we have told you everything that happened today,”the waiter said. “Since you have already understood the whole situation, can you let us go back and rest?”

Abel glanced at the waiter, walked to the tea table, and said to everyone, “Thank you for your hard work. Please go back and rest.”

CHAPTER 863: The Search of piecemeal clues

“If there are any more personal details, you can tell any of us in the troops later. “Today, we won’t delay everyone’s rest. “After all, most people should be tired,”Kant added. fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮

“Lord.”A nomads in the crowd said, “I hope I can leave the city tomorrow. Can you send a few soldiers to protect me? “Send them to the city gate. “Then I’ll send someone I know to pick me up.”

“Me too.””Me too!”

After him, a few nomads asked.

“Your Highness...”Abel said hesitantly.

“It’s okay. All the residents who need to leave the city by tomorrow, register with Moliere. Just hand them over to me tomorrow morning,”Kant promised. “I’ll allocate a group of people to escort you out of the city.”

“Thank you, thank you.”The first guest thanked him profusely.

“It’s okay.”Kant stood up and waved his hand. He turned around and left the Tang empire, walking to the stairs leading to the guest room.

“Your Highness, are you going back to your room to rest?”Bunduk followed Kant’s footsteps and asked.

Kant walked to the steps of the stairs and stopped, he said, “Yes, too many things happened today. “I have to tidy up my room myself. “You and Abel carefully search the inn again. “Gather all the missing information. When the inn owner comes back, you have to at least give him an explanation.” 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

“Yes!”Bunduk nodded.

“After you are done with these things, you and the soldier should also hurry back to your rooms to rest. Thank you for your hard work.”Kant nodded slightly.

“Yes.”

After watching Kant walk up the stairs, the guests also returned to their respective bedrooms.

Bunduk gathered his soldiers together, he opened his mouth and ordered, “All soldiers! Divide into five groups and conduct a search of the inn. Apart from the guest rooms that are occupied, don’t miss a single corner!”

“Yes!”Caradia’s soldier replied in unison.

Seeing this, Abel also began to lead the Elven soldier to conduct a detailed search of the inn. They even flew to the roof tiles to check if there were any traces of people slipping away from the roof.

The soldier and his men worked until late into the night before they returned to the hall to gather.

“Did you find anything?”Bunduk asked solemnly.

“The second group!”A Caradia soldier stepped out of the formation and reported in a loud voice, “We found the rope that the murderer used to strangle the Accountant.”

Another soldier handed over half of the burnt rope.

“Where did you find it?”Bunduk gently held the rope in his hand and asked.

“In the woodpile under the kitchen stove,”the soldier replied.

“Yes.”Bunduk nodded and continued to ask, “Did you find anything else?”

The captain of the squad silently shook his head.

“We found traces of someone climbing on the roof,”Abel said at this moment.

This news was reported to him by his soldier: the roof tiles were very messy. It was probably because waiters liked to sneak onto the roof for gatherings, but from the elf’s point of view.., he quickly identified a footprint that extended to the second-floor corridor window.

“That footprint proves that Jackie climbed up the roof alone,”Abel said simply.

“Mm.”Bunduk nodded. “Everyone has worked hard. Go back and rest.”

“Yes, Commander!”The soldier replied.

After they dispersed, Bunduk followed behind Abel and walked back to the guest room. His hand was still tightly holding on to the half of the rope.

“Lord Kant and I were wondering why you didn’t seem happy when you heard the news we told you before dinner. “So you met those waiters.”When Abel took off his long boots at the entrance.., he whispered to bunduk, “You stopped them, right?”

“At that time, I hesitated for a while until I heard that Jacky didn’t say anything...”Bunduk replied.

“Sigh.”Abel shook his head and didn’t say anything else.

“Your Highness.””Your Highness.”

After seeing Kant sitting at the tea table and drawing something under the candlestick, Abel and Bunduk bowed together and greeted him.

“You’re back?”Kant put down his pen and raised his head to ask, “Did you find anything?”

“We found the murder weapon, and Jacky did indeed leave the scene, go through the roof, and walk to the second floor to inform us,”Abel replied.

“Yes, what was the murder weapon?”Kant asked, stroking his forehead.

“The rope was thrown into a pile of firewood,”bunduk explained, holding the rope in his hand in front of Kant.

Kant stared at the half of the rope in silence for a while and said, “Okay, put this rope in the package and seal it. Give it to the inn owner when he comes back.”

“Yes.”Bunduk nodded and answered.

“Your Highness, if we need to send people out of the city tomorrow, the people in the west city...”Abel said worriedly.

“It’s okay. I’ll go tomorrow too. We have enough people.”Kant shook his head and said.

Not long ago, Moliere sent over the list of guests who wanted to leave the city tomorrow.

“You’re not leaving the city?”Kant asked in slight surprise after looking at the list.

“No. Those who leave the city first are all idiots. “The people who organized the assassination will definitely find them,”Moliere replied disdainfully. “Moreover, I still want to stay and see how you can lock that group of people in jail.”

After Moliere left, Kant roughly calculated the number of people he needed to send out tomorrow. This mission did not consume as much manpower as he had imagined.

“Your Majesty, you’re Going Tomorrow Too? !”Abel said in surprise. “No, that guild isn’t a proper place to begin with. What if pick and the people he contacted mentioned Lord to you?”

“It’s almost the end of the month. I still have to go and investigate the specific situation of this guild.”Kant raised his eyebrows, he said, “I’m not you or Bunduk. There’s no need for pick to mention me to the people around him. “Moreover, the day we met with pick was two weeks ago. After that, he left the city. “We didn’t have the chance to meet with the people in the Guild.”

“But I still feel that it’s inappropriate.”Bunduk shook his head, he said, “A tall tree attracts the wind. We’ve seen all the leaders of various races along the way. The town is only such a large area. I reckon that many people already know our identity.”

“Ah, alright then.”. “I won’t go to the guild myself, but you still have to send people to the guild to ask around. “At least find out where to buy medicine.”Kant saw that he couldn’t win against the two people in front of him, so he compromised.

“Yes,”Abel replied.

Chapter 864: the shopkeeper who came late

“Is there a soldier in our team who is suitable for such a task?”After agreeing to Kant’s request, Bunduk became distressed again.

“This is something that you need to arrange for yourself.”Kant shrugged. “At most, I’ll Give You One day tomorrow. The Day After Tomorrow is the last day of this month, which is also the day when we begin the bottom-digging operation.”

“We’ll definitely find a suitable candidate,”Abel replied.

Kant glanced at the two of them helplessly and said, “You guys continue to think about it. I’m going back to my room to rest.”

“Yes.”Bunduk nodded in response.

Kant did not pay any more attention to the two of them. Instead, he stood up and left the main hall.

Abel and Bunduk stood where they were and thought hard for a while. They still could not come up with any results.

Bunduk sighed helplessly. “I didn’t expect that I didn’t understand the soldier so much that I couldn’t even think of their respective strengths.”

“I know my subordinates very well.”Abel shook his head dejectedly, “None of them are suitable for this kind of reconnaissance mission. Perhaps they fell asleep when the front desk attendant of the Guild made an introduction to them.”

“It can’t be.”Bunduk sat down at the tea table, took out two teacups, and filled them with tea.

“Thank you.”Abel sat across from Bunduk. He raised his teacup and said to bunduk, “If it really doesn’t work, let me disguise myself and blend in.”

“With your suggestion, do you think King Kant will agree?”Bunduk drank a mouthful of hot tea and replied.

“Then what should we do!”Abel leaned on the tea table and sighed.

“Isn’t there another day tomorrow? Let me see if there are any suitable ones in the team,”Bunduk turned his head to look out of the window and replied.

“Then...”

Knock, Knock, knock! A series of knocks interrupted their conversation.

“It’s so late. Who could it be?”Bunduk stood up, put down the Teacup in his hand, and muttered as he walked toward the entrance.

After opening the door, a relatively unfamiliar face appeared in front of him. The other party was dressed very luxuriously, obviously not a guest of this inn.

“You Are...”Bunduk tried his best to recall in his mind, and said in puzzlement.

“My name is Reuben, I’m the manager of this inn.”The orcs in front of him seemed to be in a very low mood, and at this time, he replied faintly, “I want to see your Highness.”

“Inn owner? !”Bunduk shouted, “When did you rush back? Come inside. Your Highness has returned to his bedroom to rest.”

“I want to see him. If I can’t see him today, then I have no reason to enter your room.”Turubin looked away and slowly said.

“Then I will immediately inform your highness. Please come into this room first.”. “Prepare some hot tea in the room.”Bunduk noticed the frost on Reuben’s fur coat. “He must have rushed back from outside the city in a hurry...”.

“Okay.”Reuben nodded slightly, took off his boots, and followed Bunduk into the main hall.

Abel was currently troubled by the Action Plan for the day after tomorrow. When he saw Bunduk walking over with a strange-looking orcs, he appeared somewhat surprised and at a loss. He asked hesitantly, “May I ask who this is?”

“We had a meal together before.”Turubin’s eyes sized up Bunduk and Abel as he explained, “I’m the manager of the Inn.”

“AH.”Abel immediately stood up and bowed. “I’m sorry, manager. I haven’t had a good memory recently.”

“It’s okay.”Turubin patted the water droplets on his coat and said, “Please Inform Your Highness Kant. I want to see him.”

“Okay, okay.”Abel and Bunduk looked at each other and nodded.

Then he turned and walked to the bedroom. When he saw the candlelight in the room, he gently knocked on the door and called out in a low voice, “Your Highness Kant.”

“What’s Wrong?”The voice coming from the bedroom made Abel feel relieved. Kant hadn’t rested yet.

“The owner of the inn has arrived. He said he wants to see you,”Abel explained to the gap in the door.

After a while, the bedroom door was opened by Kant. Kant hadn’t put on his coat yet. He was wearing a simple coat and asked Abel, who was standing in front of the porch, “Where is the shopkeeper?”

Abel respectfully folded his hands in front of him and answered, “He is sitting and resting in the main hall.”

“Yes.”Kant nodded and immediately walked toward the main hall. After seeing Trubin’s figure, he quickened his pace and walked in front of him. “Shopkeeper.”

“Your Highness Kant.”Trubin politely stood up and replied, “I received the news...”

“I’m sorry, because we’re staying here, we’ve brought you so much trouble.”Kant said apologetically.

This time, although the items in the inn had not suffered any losses, the death of the Accountant would become a shadow on the reputation of the inn.

“I can only say that you and I are not very lucky.”Trubin’s eyes were a little gloomy.

“The people from the monitoring station have already taken away the raid. Fellett’s body... has also been taken away by them,”Kant said. “They said that it was for an official investigation. I hope you can understand.”

“I saw it in the monitoring station. Fellett... he shouldn’t be like that...”when he spoke of Fellett, there was a sobbing tone in his voice.

“I’m sorry for your loss.”Kant sighed and said with his head lowered.

At noon, when he was traveling with the inn’s owner, he heard the story of how he and Fellett settled down in this small town.

At the end of the story, he said to Kant, “He is three or four years older than Fellett, so when he was wandering outside, Fellett was the one who was protected.”. Therefore, Fellett, who had entered the threshold of middle age, always maintained a childlike state of mind. And trueben had been traveling outside in order to let the two of them continue to live peacefully. He had dealt with various forces in the town.

But in the past few days, Fellett suddenly mentioned to him that he wanted to go out on his own.

Trueben naturally rejected Fellett’s request with various reasons.

Therefore, Fellett had been hiding from him for the past few days.

“It feels like a story about a little girl,”Kant commented at that time.

“Hehe,”trubin laughed. “I’m already used to him being protected by my side. If such a person doesn’t exist, I don’t know if I’ll lose the thought of working hard.”

At the tea table, Kant looked at the inn owner who was sobbing with his hands covering his face. He felt a wave of sadness in his heart and didn’t know what to say.
