Lord of the Oasis

"Messenger?" Raphael asked doubtfully, "Where is the messenger?"

"The person at the seaport is responsible for collecting letters from retail investors." Clement explained: "When we walked to the seaside, we met fellow travelers who were sending letters. They gave us directions."

"I see." Raphael said, "Actually, you don't need to send the letter yourself. Just send it to the mailbox in front of the camp. The messenger by boat will naturally come to collect it."

"It seems we were too impatient." DeWitt shook his head and said with a smile.

Clemont sat down at the table, took over DeWitt's words, and continued: "Everyone should be thinking about going home. At least I'm ready to go home."

Raphael glanced at Abel and said apologetically: "It's just that in order to continue to pay attention to the news on this island, Captain Abel will have to stay here for a while."

"What?" DeWitt asked in surprise: "Abel, won't you go back with us tomorrow?"

Abel sighed and nodded. In fact, in his heart, he also wanted to go back. After all, he, DeWitt and Clemont had an agreement to get together in Cumberland.

It's just that the suffering that Raphael suffered while staying on this island was no less than what those of them who trekked outside suffered. Since others had already suggested this, Abel had no choice but to agree. What's more, the two have been friends for ten years.

After receiving Abel's affirmation, DeWitt and Clemont looked at each other and said nothing.

The atmosphere at the dinner table became silent.

Raphael took a look at the expressions of the people around him, and said to Abel: "Abel, how about... let me stay on this island, and you can go back with the soldiers first."

"No, no, no." Abel hastily denied, "Let's act as planned before. I'm fine."

"Is it really okay?" Raphael asked.

"It doesn't matter." Abel said firmly. Thinking that his emotions made it difficult for Rafael who made the suggestion, Abel suddenly felt ashamed.

"Then...okay." Raphael nodded slowly and said, "I will explain the camp matters to you in detail after tonight's dinner."

"Okay." Abel replied.

DeWitt and Clemont sat aside and listened quietly to their conversation, and naturally noticed Abel's shame.

"Since Abel has decided to stay here, let's stay with him. Let the soldiers go back first." Clemont suggested to DeWitt.

"But we have no intention of staying here anymore. The human soldiers are just here to reinforce the elves. According to Raphael's character, he will never let us stay in their camp." DeWitt has already vaguely noticed it. Raphael was a strong-willed person and said in embarrassment: "Besides, if neither of us goes back this time, then who will go to the palace to report to His Majesty?"

After hearing DeWitt's words, Clemont's expression became tangled.

Glancing across the dining table, I saw Abel and Raphael looking happy. He compromised with DeWitt: "Okay then."

At this time, Abel stood up and toasted to the three people at the table: "I will drink this glass of wine first as a token of respect. I wish you a smooth journey home this time."

As he spoke, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Raphael, Clemont and DeWitt also raised their wine glasses and drank the drinks with a smile.

After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms early. Prepare for departure tomorrow.

Raphael stayed in Abel's room, and the two talked late into the night. It wasn't until he was too sleepy that Raphael said goodbye to Raphael and returned to his room.

Under the moonlight, when Abel walked in the door, he found a figure with his back to him, sitting on a chair in the room.

Raphael calmly walked to another chair and sat down, saying, "Don't come in and out of my room casually in the future.

"

"Letter, I got it." The figure took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Raphael.

"Yes." Raphael nodded and replied, then tore open the envelope marked as the delivery address of Dehreim and read the contents on the letter paper carefully.

"Why don't you let the man named Abel go with you? What if the people in Calradia become suspicious?" the person who brought the letter asked.

Raphael tightened his grip on the letter and said in a cold voice: "I'm not like you. For the sake of rights, I can even disregard the lives of my own compatriots. Besides, I know what I'm doing this time. You don't need to be blind. worry."

"You can protect them for a while, but you can't protect them for life." The man turned around and said: "If they choose to participate in the end and stand on the opposite side of us, they will still be eradicated. Just take care of yourself."

After leaving these words, the man disappeared in the shadows.

Raphael stood up and walked to the candlestick, lit the letter in his hand, and threw it into the fireplace.

Looking at the blazing fire, Raphael sighed: "At present, we can only take one step at a time."

Early the next morning.

The Calradian soldiers and the elven soldiers who came to see them off said goodbye at the dock.

DeWitt smiled and said to Abel: "I thought you were the only one staying here. But all your soldiers stayed with you. In this case, we can rest assured."

"These soldiers all want to go home. They just stayed here because of me. I'm really sorry for them." Abel shook his head and said.

"Anyway, I heard that everyone stayed here voluntarily." Clemont waved his hand and said, "Don't be so gloomy."

"Yes." Abel nodded: "When you return to Dehreim, you must write to me."

"Of course." DeWitt and Clemont nodded.

"Okay. The ship is about to leave. You should hurry up and get on board with your luggage." Abel hugged the two of them respectively and said with a smile.

"You must pay attention to safety while you stay here." DeWitt warned: "When you return to the Elf Kingdom, the two of us will ask for leave and come over to drink with you."

"Okay, it's settled."

Raphael stood on the deck of the ship, watching the two groups of people parting below. A trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"Boss, the bomb has been installed." An elf soldier stepped forward and reported to Rafael.

"Are you pretending as I told you before?" Raphael asked.

"Yes. They are all installed in the cabin where the engine is placed." The elf soldier nodded and replied.
