After the gnome guarding the city checked the parcels they carried, they let them pass.

  The three of them walked towards the main road in the city. On the way, they saw many gnome troops patrolling the streets.

  “It seems that the gnome country has recovered well.”Abel nodded. “They’ve actually taken back the authority of this town.”


  After hearing his words, Bunduk, who had never been here before, asked in surprise, “Is the town under the volcano managed by the Gnome?”


  “No, no, no. It’s managed by the forces that live on the volcano. It’s just that in recent years, it’s the GNOME Tribe’s turn,”Abel explained.

  “I heard that on the way to the volcano, you adopted a gnome as a captive,”Kant said. “That gnome is called Gilbert, right? It seems that it has helped you a lot.”


  “Did Devitt mention him to you in the letter?”At the mention of Gilbert, a hint of a smile appeared on Abel’s lips, he replied, “He did help us a lot, but we were unable to realize the only thing he asked us to do.”


  “What did he mention to You?”Kant continued to ask.

  “It’s a very simple thing: take care of a soldier.”Abel’s tone became sad. “However, that soldier, like Claremont, has already buried his life in the deep sea during the sinking of the ship.”


  “Does Gilbert know about this news?”Kant was silent for a moment before he asked softly.

  Abel shook his head and replied, “After the incident, I haven’t sent him a letter. However, since the Dragon clan already knows about this news, Gilbert shouldn’t be too far away from knowing about this matter.”


  “Since we have already arrived at this small town, you should also go find Gilbert and tell him about this incident.”Kant patted Abel’s back, “This should be one of the few things we can do for the soldier who sacrificed himself.”


  “Yes, I will,”Abel agreed.

  Abel brought Kant and Bunduk to stay in an inn that they had stayed in before.

  Just as they were discussing whether they should take a walk on the streets, a Gnome Army rushed into the inn’s lobby. At the end of the group was Gilbert, who was dressed in brocade clothes.

  Kant and Bunduk had never met Gilbert before. Just as they were guessing Gilbert’s identity, they saw Gilbert walking straight towards them, who were sitting in a corner.

  “Long time no see, Abel.”Gilbert stood in front of Abel with a smile and greeted him.

  “Long time no see, Gilbert.”Abel raised his head and looked back.

  Kant winked at Bunduk, and Bunduk immediately laughed at Abel. “Abel, it seems that they came to find you on purpose. Let’s go take a walk on the street first. you two can chat slowly.”


  Abel pursed his lips and nodded at Kant. “Okay. You two take care of yourselves.”


  “Okay.”


  Gilbert sat down next to Abel and looked at Kant and Kant walking towards the door. He asked, “Who are the two of them?”


  “The lord of Caradia and the commander of the troops,”Abel introduced.

  “Do you know why I came to find you?”Gilbert nodded and commanded the surrounding soldier to leave the room.

  “I’m really sorry about what happened to Austin.”Abel lowered his head and replied.

  “A few days ago, I heard the news of the sunken ship on the volcano. Before I could write to you, I heard that you were brought to their estate by the Dragon Clan.”Gilbert clenched his fists, trembling, he asked him, “Tell me, did something really happen to Austin?”


  “Yes, his body has already been salvaged from Cumberland,”Abel said. “The funeral will be held in Drondheim, the main city of Caradia.”


  “Why did this happen? !”Gilbert shouted. “Have you forgotten what you promised me?”


  “The people in the troops rebelled. All the crew members who boarded the ship died and were crippled,”Abel explained. “Even Cremont…”


  After hearing the news, Gilbert looked at Abel in disbelief and said, “Tell me the name of the person who rebelled. I will definitely make his life a living hell.”


  “The soldier who rebelled has already committed suicide.”Abel’s shoulders had already collapsed, he stated, “After helping us lure out the members of the dark forces who were in charge of contacting him, he brought that person along and jumped off the ship.”


  Gilbert placed his hand on his forehead. After taking a few deep breaths, he said, “How long have you been away from here? So many things have happened. Is it because you helped the midget clan?”


  “Yes. After we walked out of the town, the dwarf clan set up an ambush on the outskirts of the city,”Abel recalled and said. “However, Devitt and Claremont’s soldier did not let them succeed.”


  “So they bribed an insider and made a move on the cruise ship you were on.”Abel closed his eyes and said, “Where are you now?”


  “We can only investigate layer by layer.”Abel sighed and said, “Now we only know that there is a member of the snake-woman clan named Kala who is in charge of this plot.”


  “You don’t have any foundation on this island. “If we continue to investigate like this, we probably won’t be able to find out when the two sides start a war.”Gilbert stood up and said to Abel, “I will have my subordinates investigate this matter. “You just need to ensure your own safety.”


  “The lord of Caradia came to this small island personally for this matter, and you want us to act as if nothing happened and quietly stay in this small town.”Abel shook his head, “It’s still too much.”


  “Okay.”Gilbert thought for a moment and nodded. “If you really want to investigate, I Can’t Stop You. Let’s see who can find the person behind this first. Then, we’ll use the method we wish to use to get rid of them.”


  After saying this, Gilbert left the inn with his troops.

  At the inn’s entrance, he bumped into Kant and Bunduk, who had just returned from shopping. Gilbert took the initiative to greet Kant, “Hello, lord of Caradia. I am the new lord of the Gnome Tribe, Gilbert.”


  “Hello, my name is Kant. This is the commander of Caradia’s troops, Bunduk,”Kant replied politely.

  “Hello, Commander Bunduk.”Gilbert’s gaze moved from Kant to Bunduk. He said to him, “I don’t know if you remember that there is a soldier named Austin in your team?”


  “I do.”Bunduk lowered his head slightly and replied, “He is an excellent soldier with a gentle personality and strong execution.”
