Teleportation formation could not send them directly to the Gnome’s estate. Kant and Abel stopped at their stronghold halfway up the mountain and asked for directions to the main city gate.

  “Hey! I Am Abel, the leader of the Elves’Soldier! Your Highness Gilbert and I are friends. Something urgent has happened! We must meet him.”After walking to the city gate, abel shouted at the GNOME soldier on the city wall.

  Hearing the noise, the GNOME soldier looked at each other in dismay. However, there was still a soldier who recognized Kant and Abel. He opened the city gate for them and went down the city gate to welcome them.

  “Hello, King Kant of Caradia.”A gnome soldier walked in front of Kant, bowed to him and asked, “His Majesty Gilbert has not returned to the palace. May I know why you are looking for him?”


  “Where is Gilbert Now?”Abel asked anxiously.

  “He is on his way back from the snake-woman’s estate. He will probably only return to the country late tonight.”The GNOME soldier answered Abel’s question.

  Kant nodded, slightly bent down, and held the soldier’s hand, “Thank you.”. One of our companions went missing today. “It seems that this matter is related to what Gilbert did when he went to the snake-woman’s estate.”. “We want to Find Your Highness Gilbert to discuss the next countermeasures.”


  “I see.”The GNOME soldier frowned after hearing Kant’s explanation. Then, he called out to the two, “Then I’ll immediately send my soldiers to escort the two lords into the palace. I’ll report this matter to Your Highness Gilbert after he returns to the city.”


  “Alright, then I will have to trouble you.”Kant nodded and thanked him.

  The GNOME soldier called over the soldier beside him and whispered a few words into his ear. After the subordinate left, not long after, a carriage was brought to Kant and Abel.

  The gnome carriage driver who got down from the carriage set up a small ladder to board the carriage and quietly retreated to the side.

  Kant and Abel looked at each other and said goodbye to the soldier. “Goodbye, everyone.”


  “Be careful on the way,”the GNOME soldier instructed.

  Kant stepped on the ladder first and boarded the carriage. The gnome carriage was smaller than the carriage used by humans. After Abel squeezed into the carriage, Kant could only tighten his shoulders helplessly.

  The carriage began to move amidst the horses’cries and galloped towards the main road in the city.

  Due to their awkward posture, Kant and Abel did not say a word throughout the entire journey. Half an hour later, the coachman opened the curtain and called for the two of them to get off the carriage. Only then did the two of them let out a sigh of relief and walked out of the carriage to stretch their muscles.

  “My Lords, we have already arrived.”The Coachman pointed at the palace door and said, “The guards at the door will arrange the rest of the journey for you.”


  “Alright, thank you for your hard work,”Abel agreed.

  “It’s alright.”The coachman smiled and said, “I’ll take my leave first.”


  “Okay.”


  After the carriage left the palace door, Kant looked around. This was not the center of the city, and there were not many buildings around. The few pedestrians on the streets were mostly dressed luxuriously. It seemed that this was a residential area specially provided for the Gnome Noble.

  At this time, a soldier in armor walked up to the two of them and said, “Excuse me, are you here to see your Highness Gilbert’s guest? Did the city-guarding troops send you here?”


  “Yes.”Kant nodded politely and replied, “I heard that your Highness Gilbert is on his way back to the country. I wonder where we can wait for him?”


  “Your Highness probably won’t be able to return to his bedroom to rest until the wee hours of the morning.”. “Please follow me to the living quarters that I have arranged for you.”The soldier replied, “When your highness Gilbert returns to the country, a soldier will immediately rush over to inform all of you.”


  “Mm, alright.”Kant pursed his lips and agreed.

  After the soldier brought the two of them to a luxuriously decorated living quarters, he excused himself and left.

  “Now we can only hope that Gilbert can return safely to the Gnome Kingdom and meet us,”Kant said to Abel as he took a sip of tea.

  “Yes,”Abel leaned against the window and replied softly, “I wonder how Bunduk is doing now…”


  Although both of them were extremely tired, the uneasiness in their hearts still prevented them from walking to the bedside and lying down to rest. They could only sit at the tea table and wait for the news in silence.

  Pick did not take the unconscious Bunduk far away. After walking out of the sight of the onlookers, he returned to the living quarters he had bought on the street.

  He had not informed the other members of the dark forces about this operation. It was only because he was really angry at Gilbert’s overbearing style that he could not help but attack Bunduk and the others.

  After Kant and the others entered the town, the orcs in charge of contacting him introduced the background of this group of people to him. He also reminded him to keep a close eye on them. The ‘delay’worm was also planted on Bunduk’s body at that time.

  Pick looked through the crack in the window at the guild entrance and saw the GNOME troops that were scouting the scene. There were also Kant and Abel who had rushed over after hearing the news. The two of them stood in front of the union entrance and lowered their heads to discuss something.

  “Sipa, go and listen to what they are saying.”Pick stared at Kant’s position and ordered softly.

  A small snake with a transparent physique slithered from the window sill on the second floor to the stone steps beside Kant. The two of them did not notice its existence. The content of the conversation echoed clearly in Pick’s ears.

  “Heh.”When pick heard that Kant intended to declare war on the dark forces, he let out a cold laugh and said disdainfully, “It’s just a small desert country. You really have no self-awareness.”


  “You…”


  While pick was still monitoring Kant, Bunduk, who was lying on the floor, woke up. However, his consciousness was still in a trance. After seeing the unfamiliar figure in front of him, he hesitantly called out.

  Pick was frightened by the sudden call and cut off the connection of his spiritual power. The little snake called ‘sipa’also shrank into a hole in the ground.

  This transparent little snake was very afraid of the sunlight. If it did not have the blessing of a spell, it could only stay in a place where there was no sunlight.

  “SIPA!”Pick could not help but call out. When he did not see the little snake, he turned around and glared at Bunduk. He said, “What are you screaming for!”


  “… I remember now.”After recovering his consciousness, Bunduk stared at pick and said, “You are that Bastard Beast Tamer!”


  “Well, then?”Pick picked up a wooden chair and threw it at Bunduk. He said angrily, “It’s all because of your scream just now. Now, I don’t know where Percy is! You people are really a bunch of Jinx!”
