Lord of the Oasis

Watching the food being served to the table one plate after another by the hotel waiters. Clemont and Abel stood at the door of the restaurant and looked around: DeWitt was nowhere to be seen.

The two of them had been sitting in the room chatting since they received the keys.

Two or three hours have passed since evening, but only DeWitt's luggage has been seen.

By the end of the conversation, I couldn't help but feel a little strange. I started asking other people about DeWitt's movements, but I heard from the hotel manager that DeWitt didn't even return to the room. He asked the waiter to carry his luggage upstairs and then went out by himself.

Abel leaned against the doorpost of the restaurant and sighed: "The two of us are still thinking about how to ask DeWitt about the action, but he took action himself."

"DeWitt was probably worried that he didn't have enough time, so he left first without summoning us." Clemont responded while keeping his eyes on the door.

"DeWitt is the one who cares most about the mission." Abel said, "We should follow him and go together."

"There is no way, it is difficult for us to follow him at any time." Clemont shook his head, and after seeing DeWitt's figure, he shouted: "DeWitt! Are you back?!"

DeWitt walked into the restaurant, handed the coat he was wearing to the waiter guarding the door, and said to Clemont: "Why haven't you gone to dinner yet?"

"Waiting for you." Clemont replied: "You braved the wind and snow outside to inquire for information in order to carry out the mission. We are having dinner in a place with a fireplace. It is really heartless."

DeWitt gave Clemont a funny look and said nothing more.

"You've been out for so long, have you found out anything?" Abel asked.

"There are some gains, but the pedestrians on the street are very strict." DeWitt said with a frown: "I only learned about the method of going up the mountain and the reason for the weird atmosphere in the city."

"I also feel that this town is a lot different from before." Abel said, "What is the intelligence you heard about?"

DeWitt whispered: "A civil war has broken out among the goblins, and the forces in the goblins are now divided into two factions. The situation is also tense, and there is no extra manpower to manage this trading town."

"What?" Clemont looked a little surprised. Although he had predicted that the situation in the goblins would be severe before, he didn't expect that it had been made clear and made available for others to take advantage of.

"Yeah." DeWitt nodded: "About this, this is the only information I know."

"Gilbert's journey home has become even more difficult." Gilbert's weak figure appeared in Clemont's mind.

"So, what's the way up the mountain you mentioned?" Abel continued to ask.

"It is said that at the initiative of each race, a teleportation array was built in the town. It can use magic to teleport people to the top of the mountain. If we can take this approach, it will greatly shorten the time it takes us to reach the top of the mountain." De Witte explained.

"Teleportation array?" Clemont was a little curious about such a new thing.

And Abel, who has been familiar with magic since he was a child, did frown and said: "Although there are many traders on this island, they are not enough to invest in the teleportation array."

"Is the teleportation array very expensive?" Clement asked.

"It's very big. It not only requires the blessing of mages, but also requires various gems for daily maintenance." Abel explained: "The financial resources of this town alone should not be able to support it."

"That means there are external forces helping behind the scenes." DeWitt analyzed: "The more complicated the situation on this island is, the greater the possibility that we will be involved in the power when we stay here."

"Sigh. It's really difficult to handle." Clemont said.

While the three were distressed, a soldier came out of the side hall and said to them: "Captain DeWitt, Captain Clement, and Captain Abel. The soldiers are waiting for you."

"Huh?" DeWitt heard this and said,

He looked at Clemont and Abel strangely.

Clemont looked embarrassed and said: "I forgot..."

A blush also appeared on Abel's face.

DeWitt looked at the two of them with a slight reproach and led the way to the restaurant where the soldiers were.

"Sorry, everyone has been waiting for a long time." DeWitt waved to the soldiers.

"It's okay! Captain. We were planning to wait and eat with you." Jeb replied loudly.

"Captain, I heard that you went on a mission outside. Why didn't you call us?" a soldier said excitedly.

"I'm going to inquire about the news. I'll take you with me. How else can I inquire?" DeWitt said in a funny voice, "Okay, everyone, sit down and start eating."

"Ding Ding Dang Dang-" The sound of picking up the tableware on the table, it seemed that everyone was really hungry.

DeWitt was drinking red wine while talking to the surrounding soldiers about his plan to use the teleportation array tomorrow.

"Teleportation array! It sounds so powerful! I've never heard of it before." A soldier shouted happily.

"Will the mage teleport us to the top of the mountain? How is that possible?!" A soldier's face showed a hint of disbelief.

"It will be great if we ride on the teleportation array." Most people are looking forward to tomorrow's new experience.

Austinge sat in his seat and looked around: he finally saw Gilbert walking in from outside.

"Why did it take you so long to go to the toilet?" Austinger asked worriedly: "Did you eat something bad?"

"I got lost outside and it took me a long time to find the toilet." Gilbert replied as he climbed onto his chair.

"If I had known earlier, I should have taken you there." Austingue nodded and said, "Captain DeWitt told us: Tomorrow we will go sit on something called a teleportation array. Do you know what that is?"

"I don't know. I've never seen it before." Gilbert picked up the water glass and said calmly.

"I heard that it will take our group of people to the mountain instantly." Austinger said enthusiastically: "It sounds incredible, right."

"Yeah." Gilbert nodded.

Austinger observed his cold reaction. Although it felt a bit strange, he still did not choose to ask. Instead, he would chat with Gilbert from time to time during the dinner.

The dinner time passed quickly, and Abel organized the soldiers to return to their rooms to rest.

Gilbert followed Austin back to the hotel room.

After washing up, I lay on the bed wearing dry pajamas.

Just after twelve o'clock, the lights in the hotel would go out, leaving only the firewood crackling in the fireplace.
