“Then when you were on the ship, did you encounter any trouble?”Bunduk asked the soldier worriedly.

  “No.”Kerry shook his head and said, “Although that group of crew members didn’t pay much attention to us, they still took care of us in terms of food and drinks.”


  “En, that’s good.”Bunduk nodded.

  The group of people began to talk about their own experiences. When Bunduk talked about his experiences in the small town, he kept the fact that he had been poisoned.

  “That dark side member actually fought with Lord Bunduk?”A soldier exclaimed.

  “Yes, Pick is an extremely dangerous person,”Bunduk said. “Your mission is only to search for information, and you are responsible for tracking the movements of the target. Do not take the initiative to fight with pick.”


  “Yes,”the soldier replied.

  “Alright, it’s getting late.”Abel raised his head and looked at the clock on the wall. He instructed the soldier, “Everyone, go back to your rooms and rest. The operation will begin tomorrow.”


  “Yes.”The soldier placed the dining chairs and tables back in their original positions. They walked to Bunduk and the others in groups of three to five. After bidding them farewell, they left the dining hall.

  “Let’s go back and rest as well.”After sending off Kerry, Bunduk turned around and said to Abel.

  “You can’t. You still have to drink the medicine.”Abel glanced at Bunduk and reminded him, “I’ve already given the medicine to the staff in the kitchen. Now, the medicine should be ready.”


  “Oh right, I almost forgot about that.”Bunduk patted his head and responded, “Thank you. When did you give the medicine to the staff?”


  “When you were still changing your clothes,”Abel said, “This is just a small matter. The most important thing is for you to drink the medicine now. “Brother, don’t forget that you have a bomb in your body that is counting down.”


  “Okay.”Bunduk nodded with a smile. “Then I’ll go to the kitchen first.”


  “Okay.”After walking for a while, Abel turned around and nodded at him. After seeing Bunduk turn around and go downstairs, he walked to the door of the guest room. He raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.

  “Who is it?”Kant’s voice reached Abel’s ears through the crack in the door.

  “Your Highness, I am Abel,”Abel replied.

  “Wait a minute.”Kant walked slowly to the door and unlocked the door. When he saw that the person standing outside the door was indeed Abel, he turned back to his previous position with trust and asked Abel, “Where is Bunduk?”


  “He is probably drinking medicine at the tea table in the lobby,”Abel replied.

  “Yes.”Kant nodded and said, “I have to rely on you to remind him about this matter. Otherwise, with his memory, it is almost impossible for him to take his medicine on time.”


  “Your Highness really understands the commander too well.”Abel laughed and walked to Kant’s side. “Your Highness, why haven’t you gone back to your room to rest?”


  “I’ve rested enough for today.”Kant shook his head and said, “I still have many things to do tomorrow. I have to prepare in advance. By the way, have you told the soldier what the next mission is?”


  “Yes, I gave a rough description.”Abel nodded and said, “They have gone back to their rooms to rest now. I guess they are saving their energy for tomorrow’s task.”


  “Yes, you should rest early too. You’ve been on the road for the whole day.”Kant lowered his head and instructed after hearing Abel’s answer.

  “Your Highness, you should rest early too.”Abel did not disturb Kant’s work that he was preparing. Instead, he left a reminder and turned around to walk into his bedroom.

  After hearing the sound of the bedroom door closing, Kant put down his pen and ink and quietly thought about something.

  After a while, Bunduk also walked to the door. When Kant heard the familiar cough that belonged to him, he stood up and walked to the door to open it for him.

  “Your Highness, why are you still in the main hall?”After walking into the door, Bunduk asked in puzzlement.

  “I couldn’t sleep, so I planned to use this time to sort out the information I have. After all, you will start carrying out the mission in the town tomorrow.”Kant made himself a pot of hot tea, when he returned to the tea table with the teapot, he answered.

  “It’s been hard on Your Highness.”Bunduk sat down at the tea table and said, “Is there anything I can help you with?”


  Kant smiled and looked up at him. “You just need to worry about whether you will be able to last on the street tomorrow. I will just do some simple organizing.”


  “I heard from Abel that sometimes he will see you working until late at night.”Bunduk asked worriedly, “Your Highness, we are worried about your body.”


  “It’s okay.”Kant pointed to his chest and said, “If my body can’t hold on anymore, it will tell me.”


  “Okay.”Bunduk nodded silently, his eyes showing uncontrollable worry.

  “Okay, don’t just sit here with me. “Go back to your room and rest,”Kant said. “Aren’t you drinking medicine now? “The effects of the medicine will rise and fall according to the body’s schedule. “You have to pay more attention to this.”


  “Yes.”Bunduk recalled the bitter taste of the medicine and said, “However, this medicine is really bitter. I almost couldn’t swallow it.”


  “Many people suffer much more bitter than these medicines in order to survive,”Kant said. “You can’t delay. You have to take the medicine on time every day. I’ll let Abel supervise you.”


  “Yes.”Bunduk smiled. “Then I will not disturb your Majesty’s business.”


  “Yes.”Kant did not raise his head. He nodded slightly in response.

  After Bunduk left, the information in his hands was almost finished by Kant. Kant walked to the window in the main hall and looked at the street scene downstairs. The doors on this street were mostly self-operated inn. There were not many merchants and nomads strolling on the street. Moreover, it was already close to midnight. Most of the people had returned to their temporary inn.

  Kant raised his head and looked at the volcano in the distance. From his point of view, the entire appearance of the volcano was seen.

  In contrast to the pitch-black streets of the small town, halfway up the volcano, it was always brightly lit in the middle of the night. The Gnome Kingdom was not in the middle of the lights. Their territory was on the south side of the mountain. Standing on the estate at the foot of the mountain, it was impossible to observe the movements of the Gnome tribe.

  Kant stood in front of the window for a long time. When a cold wind blew, he wrapped his cotton robe tightly.

  The Night Wind in the early spring night still carried some coldness. Kant’s eyes darkened. He extinguished the candle holder and walked back to his bedroom.
