“Yes!”The soldier replied after receiving Kant’s order.

  “Have you reported this to Abel?”Bunduk asked.

  “I have reported it to Captain Abel.”The soldier nodded. “However, captain and the other soldiers seem to be very busy, so he asked me to inform his majesty and the Commander.”


  “Yes, Abel and the others are currently busy preparing for tomorrow’s operation,”Kant said. “It’s better not to disturb him for the time being.”


  “I understand,”the soldier bowed and replied politely.

  “It’s been hard on you. Go back and rest,”Kant said to the soldier who had been busy for the whole day.

  After thanking him, the soldier turned and left.

  “It seems that since the crew went ashore, the dark forces have not sent anyone to look for them,”Bunduk said to Kant as he walked to the restaurant.

  “In the eyes of the dark forces, the sinking of the ship is just a small interlude that has been arranged.”Kant shook his head, he replied, “They don’t know these crew members either. However, if these crew members go to the foot of the volcano, they will come into contact with the dark forces sooner or later.”


  “I see.”Bunduk nodded.

  The two of them walked into the dining hall in the military barrack and sat down in a familiar corner. As soon as they sat down, they saw Raphael appear at the entrance of the dining hall alone.

  “Raphael,”Bunduk stood up and called out.

  “HMM? Commander Bunduk, His Majesty Kant.”Raphael was stunned for a moment before he replied, “What about… Abel?”


  “You came to look for him?”Bunduk motioned for Raphael to sit down and said, “He’s still busy right now. I reckon that we’ll have to find someone to deliver tonight’s dinner to them.”


  Raphael hesitated for a moment before he sat down beside Kant. He looked at Bunduk and asked in surprise, “Them?”


  “Didn’t you notice that there are fewer people in the restaurant today?”Bunduk said with a smile, “Abel is leading his men to plan the Magic Circle that will be set up tomorrow in order to catch Shadow Crows.”


  “Hehe, after all, this is my second time coming to the restaurant today…”Raphael smiled apologetically.

  “Ah…”Bunduk recalled what happened in the restaurant yesterday. Because of his slip of the tongue, his expression became awkward.

  “A magic circle? I’ve never heard of such a thing from Abel before,”Raphael said as he shook his head nonchalantly.

  “He didn’t create it himself. We found the blueprint of the Magic Circle that can restrain the shadow spider from the Dwarf Guild’s database,”Kant explained.

  “After dinner, let’s go together and see how their plan is going,”Bunduk suggested.

  “Mm.”Raphael nodded. “I’m still quite curious about what kind of Magic Circle Abel will lead his men to create.”


  Kant nodded in agreement with Bunduk. His dinner had already been served by the waiter in the kitchen. He was eating quietly at the moment.

  After a while, Bunduk and Raphael’s meals were served.

  During the meal, Bunduk looked up at Raphael’s eating style, he smiled and said, “By the way, Raphael, how is your recovery? You looked sick a few days ago. Now, your appetite seems much better.”


  “My body is quite good.”Raphael wiped his mouth with a napkin and replied, “Previously, I felt very absent-minded and often had insomnia. I think it’s probably because of mind power.”


  “It’s good that you’ve recovered.”Bunduk nodded.

  Kant paused in the act of eating and glanced at Raphael, but he did not say anything.

  Tonight’s dinner took about an hour.

  After sitting in their original seats and chatting with each other for a while, Kant brought Bunduk and Raphael to Abel’s tent.

  There were more than ten elven mages standing in the rather large tent. Apart from the soldier on sentry duty, all the Elven mages were present.

  When everyone noticed Kant opening the curtain and walking in, they all knelt down on one knee and bowed. “King Kant! Commander Bunduk.”


  Raphael was the last one to walk. He was completely covered by Bunduk’s tall figure. No one noticed that he was also there.

  “Abel, how’s the progress of the Magic Circle?”Kant walked in front of Abel and asked softly.

  “We have found a new way to solve the problem of the lack of light elements.”Abel’s eyebrows were raised in joy. “The Magic Circle should be completed by tomorrow morning.”


  “Yes, thank you for your hard work.”Kant’s eyes were full of trust as he nodded at Abel.

  “It’s all thanks to everyone working together to come up with a solution to solve the problem of the mana source,”Abel said with a smile as he cast his gaze towards the other soldier in the camp.

  Some of the elven soldier lowered their heads in embarrassment.

  “What do you plan to do?”Raphael asked curiously.

  After seeing Raphael’s figure, the elven soldier exclaimed in disbelief and bewilderment.

  “We plan to condense all kinds of elements together to replace light magic and become the support of the entire Magic Circle,”Abel explained with a hint of surprise in his eyes when he saw Raphael’s face.

  “It’s indeed a good idea,”Raphael agreed with a smile after thinking for a while.

  “It might take about fifteen minutes for us to set up the Magic Circle.”Abel looked into Raphael’s eyes and said, “It’s up to you how to stall for time.”


  “Fifteen minutes. I’ve seen Shadow Shadow many times. The total time we spent talking together is not that long. But…”Raphael said in a relaxed tone, “I’ll do my best.”


  “Thank you,”Abel replied.

  After the conversation between the two ended, the atmosphere in the room was a little cold.

  “Soldier, you haven’t eaten dinner yet, right?”Kant said gently. “I asked the breakfast reserved for you in the kitchen to be reheated. It will probably be delivered soon.”


  “Thank You, Your Majesty!”The soldier said in surprise. He thought that he had missed the meal and could only eat the dry food in his bags. He didn’t expect Kant to be so meticulous!

  “Tonight, you will probably have to stay up all night for the Magic Circle,”Kant said with a smile. “You must eat your fill and have enough energy.”


  “Wow!”The dining cart was pushed into the tent. More than ten people’s dinner was placed on it, and it was steaming.

  Beside the plate, there was also hot coffee prepared for the soldier.

  “Your Majesty Kant, thank you.”Abel faced Kant and expressed his gratitude.

  “It’s nothing. If you want to thank someone, thank the soldier in the kitchen.”Although Kant knew that Abel meant something, he still did not directly thank him. He replied in a relaxed manner.

  “We’ll go back to the camp to rest first.”Bunduk walked to the door of the tent, turned around and waved at Abel. “I’ll get rid of the rest of you.”


  CHAPTER 799: A Casual Chat after dinner

  “Yes.”Abel bowed to Bunduk and watched the three of them leave.

  “Captain Abel, come and have dinner as well.”An Elven soldier put down the steak in his hand and called out to Abel.

  “Okay.”Abel nodded and agreed. He sat down beside the soldier. He took his portion of food. He said to the soldier who had already started eating, “After eating, everyone can rest for a while before starting to work.”


  “Yes! Captain!”After the soldier placed a cushion on his stomach, his mood became high again as he replied enthusiastically.

  After eating the food on his plate, Abel walked to the stove in the camp and added a few sticks of firewood to the stove. Then he sat on a chair and looked at the soldier from afar.

  “Captain, you haven’t drunk your coffee yet.”When Abel was about to fall asleep in a daze, a soldier came to him with two cups of coffee. He said, “Drink some of this. Your body will be warm.”


  “Thank you.”Abel opened his tired eyes and smiled at the soldier.

  “It’s nothing,”the soldier said with a heroic smile.

  The two of them sat quietly by the stove for a while and drank the coffee in their cups.

  “Captain Abel,”the soldier called out softly.

  “What’s Wrong?”Abel was holding the porcelain cup in his hand to warm his hand. After hearing the soldier’s call, he was stunned for a moment and replied gently.

  The soldier turned his head and glanced at him. He smiled and said, “It’s nothing. I thought you had fallen asleep again, Captain.”


  Hearing this, Abel also laughed out loud and replied, “I’m actually not that sleepy.”


  After he finished speaking, the two of them looked at each other again and began to chat.

  “What do you think about Captain Raphael’s matter?”In the harmonious atmosphere, the soldier finally spoke about Raphael.

  Abel raised his eyebrows, he said, “Before Raphael came to the island, I thought that I would never want to see him again in my life. “However, a few days after I heard the news, I still saw him. “At the beginning, I still felt angry. “However, I felt his helplessness at that time from his body. “I began to imagine what kind of choice I would make if I met Raphael’s predicament at that time.”


  “What are your thoughts?”The soldier cast his fleeting gaze at Abel and asked nervously.

  “I can’t give a definite answer,”Abel replied with his eyes closed. “Perhaps my thoughts are not broad enough, which caused my heart to hesitate.”


  “Is that so?”The soldier put down the porcelain cup in his hand and muttered silently.

  “If it were you, what would you do?”Abel met the soldier’s gaze, he smiled and asked, “The group of soldiers who are with Raphael also have your former comrades, right? In your eyes, would they be the ones who would do such a Thing?”


  The soldier was momentarily at a loss for words in the face of Abel’s question. He was unable to speak.

  Abel did not intend to continue discussing this topic. When he saw that the soldier was unable to speak, he turned his face to the side and continued to drink the coffee in his hand.

  The next afternoon.

  Kant and the others received the news that the crew members were not allowed to leave the city.

  Bunduk asked the soldier who came back to report the news, “How did you do it?”


  “We took out some silver and gave it to the dwarf who guarded the city,”the soldier explained. “We asked them to find an excuse to detain the crew members. In the morning, the soldier who was guarding near the crew members’original living quarters saw the crew members return to the Inn.”


  “Well done.”Kant nodded. “There aren’t many trade caravan that go to the foot of the volcano. If these people want to follow the next batch of trade caravan out of the city, they’ll have to wait for a while.”


  “Thank you for your hard work,”Bunduk said to the soldier. “Let the soldier in the city go and greet the dwarf who is guarding the city. Let them release the crew members. Don’t make things too difficult for them.”


  “Yes!”The soldier bowed and replied.

  At this moment, Abel was leading his soldiers to set up a formation on the ground where Raphael’s tent was located.

  Meanwhile, Raphael was sitting by the side and watching how they operated.

  After the conversation between Abel and the soldier last night, the attitude of the elven soldier in the camp towards Raphael had softened a lot. Even though they only treated him as if he was nothing, they still put down their cold eyebrows.

  “Alright.”Abel clapped his hands and announced the success of the formation.

  The soldier who had been busy all night exhaled in relief and collapsed on the ground.

  “Everyone, quickly go and rest. We will gather at the camp in the evening,”Abel ordered the soldier under his command.

  The Elven soldier still had a few hours to replenish his strength.

  “Yes, Captain,”the soldier replied. Then, they returned to their respective tents. They needed a good night’s sleep.

  Abel sized up the Caradia soldier who was standing in for the Elven soldier. He walked up to Raphael and said, “This formation has been completed. The rest is up to you.”


  “Mm, you should also go and rest.”Raphael nodded.

  “Mm.”Abel forced a smile on his tired face and nodded.

  Then, he brushed past Raphael and walked back to his tent.

  Because of the absence of more than a dozen Elven soldier, the military barrack suddenly became quiet.

  Only the footsteps of the Caradia soldier patrolling could be heard.

  Bunduk led his soldiers to practice on the open space outside the camp. While he was supervising everyone’s training progress, he paid attention to the movements around him.

  However, there were very few pedestrians in the camp chosen by the elves. The situation around the camp was as calm as usual.

  “It seems that shadow something is planning to come alone,”Bunduk said to Kant, who was beside him.

  “According to Raphael, shadow something will bring Raphael’s reward from the dark forces,”Kant said.

  “What is the reward?”Bunduk asked, puzzled.

  “I don’t know.”Kant shook his head and said, “Maybe it’s a treasure, or maybe it’s the Machete in shadow something’s hand.”


  “Raphael is in danger,”Bunduk shouted.

  “Of course he knows, and now you know too,”Kant said casually.

  “It can’t be that Abel doesn’t know yet, right?”Bunduk frowned and said, “However, according to Raphael’s personality, it does seem like he won’t tell Abel himself.”


  “Raphael and I both hope that the mission will be successful, that’s why we won’t say anything about it,”Kant instructed. “You can’t tell anyone else about this either.”


  Bunduk’s gaze became complicated. He sighed and said, “If Raphael really sacrificed himself for this mission, how should Abel and the others face it?”
