Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 770: The Long-awaited Reunite

“That’s right.” Abel nodded. “Moreover, the righteous side on the surface might not be able to unite as we expected.”

“Oh right, Claremont, you’ve gathered quite a lot of information.” Devitt asked, “How’s the situation in the Gnome Kingdom? Any progress?”

Claremont shot a glance at Devitt, he said, “Didn’t Austin leave early this morning to meet with Gilbert? I only glanced at him from the side. Gilbert looks good, and the ‘prisoner’ tattoo on his left chest has disappeared. I guess he’s making good progress.”

“This is really good news.” Devitt said with a smile.

“When I sent Gilbert away that day, I thought I would never see him again.” Claremont said while covering his chest.

“Hehe.” Abel laughed. “Then what else did you hear?”

“Nothing. I told you all the news I received.” Claremont pursed his lips and said, “I was so bored that I came out to have tea with you two.”

“You brat…” Devitt scolded with a smile.

Austin’s footsteps were light as he walked along the street with Gilbert.

“I was really happy to see the door of the hotel early this morning.” Austin was always in high spirits. He turned to Gilbert and asked, “How did you know that we are in this hotel?”

“The news of you bringing the dwarfs down the mountain has already spread. How could I not know where you are staying?” Gilbert replied with a smile.

“Is there such a high level of attention?” Austin asked in surprise.

“Very high. After all, the dwarfs have disappeared from the public’s mouth for a long time.” Gilbert nodded. “Moreover, you have also brought such an important piece of news about Klidoff”

“Actually, we ordinary soldiers are not very clear about these things. It is mainly captain Devitt, Captain Claremont, and Captain Abel who are leading us.” Austin lowered his head and said.

“Isn’t that good?” Gilbert raised the corner of his mouth and said, “Your cooperation has made such a good result.”

“Yes.” Austin nodded and asked, “What about you? Have you been accepted by the Gnome Kingdom?”

“Sort of.” Gilbert thought for a while and replied.

After his return, the situation in the country had basically calmed down. Gilbert really didn’t expect that there were so many people waiting for him. Unknowingly, he was already the last bloodline left by the gnome royal family in this civil war.

After finding out who was behind this and giving an explanation to all the people in the kingdom, he had to give his parents a grand funeral.

“Are you happy?” Austin continued to ask.

“When I see others happy, I’m also be happy. However, I am the only one left in my family. Sometimes, I cannot help but feel sad.” Gilbert said softly.

In a few days, he would inherit the throne. At that time, there would be more troublesome things.

Austin heard Gilbert’s answer and turned to look at his face worriedly. Austin had heard from Gilbert that his parents had passed away before he was exiled out of the city.

“The people who framed your parents are extremely evil.” Austin said. “They will definitely be punished.”

“Punishment will never bring back the lives of my parents.” Gilbert’s eyes dimmed. “So I don’t really care what kind of fate those people will end up in.”

Austin put his hand on Gilbert’s shoulder, he said, “You’re right. But finding these evil people and saving those families that will be harmed can offset the self-blame in your heart. I think your parents will encourage you to do it.”

“Yes.” Gilbert nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll pull myself together. And I believe that you will always stand behind me and help me.”

“Of course, I will always stand on your side. If you have any troubles, you can write to me. We will solve them together.” Austin promised.

Gilbert nodded with tears in his eyes and smiled.

Then, the conversation between the two became much more relaxed. They chatted and laughed on the busy street for the whole morning. In the end, they couldn’t walk anymore, so they found a restaurant and sat down for lunch.

To Gilbert’s surprise, this restaurant was actually run by a gnome.

The gnome boss immediately trembled in fear when he saw Gilbert. He nervously walked up to Gilbert and prepared to bow.

Gilbert quickly held him up and gave him a look.

The boss had lived in this small town for so many years and even had his own restaurant. He was naturally a smart person. Under the hint of Gilbert’s gaze, he immediately stopped moving. He said apologetically to Gilbert and Austin, “I’m sorry, I didn’t look at the road just now. Thanks to… this… person’s help. Do you guys want a room or eat?”

The restaurant owner really couldn’t think of how to address Gilbert in this kind of situation.

“Eat. Take us to the private room in the restaurant upstairs.” Gilbert said.

“Okay.” the gnome boss agreed. He lowered his head and led the way.

Although Austin felt strange, he didn’t say anything. After all, he didn’t know the identity of Gilbert’s new gnome king.

Although Devitt gave the soldiers of the investigation team a holiday, he still told them to return to the hotel before dark.

Gilbert heard about this rule from Austin. After lunch, he sent Austin back to the hotel.

When they parted at the entrance of the hotel, they met Devitt and the other two who were walking back from the teahouse.

“Gilbert!” Devitt greeted him first.

Abel went up and hugged the little gnome.

“You seem to be in good shape.” Claremont smiled. “Do you want to come in?”

“No. I still have to rush back to the mountain today. It’s almost time.” Gilbert declined politely.

“What a pity.” Claremont said. “We still want to hear about the recent situation of the gnomes.”

“Right, what are the gnomes going to do next? Are they going to meet up with the dwarfs?” Abel asked.

“Dwarfs?” Gilbert narrowed his eyes, “The gnomes haven’t interacted with the dwarfs for a long time. They won’t make an exception this time, right? The dwarfs have the support of the dragon race, which is enough. I don’t think they have any intention of cooperating with us.”

“I see…” Devitt said regretfully, “Then I wish the gnomes good luck.”

“Thank you.” Gilbert replied. He bent down slightly and left after packing his luggage.

Austin stood at the side, confused. He cast a puzzled look at Devitt and the others.
