Lord of the Oasis-Chapter 741: Wonderful Breakfast

The two of them rummaged through Claremont's bag, but they still couldn't find the legendary illustrated handbook.

"What should we do if we can't find it?" Abel asked Claremont as he shook off the dust on his body with his hands.

"There's no other way." Claremont sat on the ground dejectedly and said in distress, "How did I lose that book..."

"Did you get rid of it?" Abel frowned and turned to ask.

"No way." Claremont supported his chin and thought for a while. "I did clean up the books once when I still at Elf Kingdom, but this book is so rare, how could I throw it away?"

"It must have been stuck somewhere by you and thrown away together." Abel curled his lips and said, "Look at your pile of books, they don't seem to be arranged orderly."

"Yeah..." Claremont lowered his head in self-reproach.

"Don't worry. How high can the status of this gnome be? Even if it's related to our mission, haven't we always arranged for someone to take care of him?" Abel comforted him.

"I don't know why, but I still feel uneasy." Claremont covered his chest and said.

"You're overthinking." Abel shook his head. He stood up and dusted off the dust on his pants. "Then I'll go back first. Remember to rest early."

"Okay. I won't send you off." Claremont nodded.

Abel then walked out of the tent.

After watching Abel leave, Claremont sat at his desk and took out a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. He recalled the tattoo on Gilbert's chest that he had seen a few days ago and drew it on the paper.

"This might be useful." Claremont said quietly.

After doing this, it was already late at night. Claremont closed his eyes tiredly and sat on his bed, closing his clothes and lying down.

In the military camp, other than the footsteps of the soldiers patrolling around, everyone became quiet.

The next morning, Austin woke Gilbert up. After washing up, they went to eat breakfast together.

The remaining steak from last night was brought to the kitchen by Austin and asked to be heated. He wanted to treat it as Gilbert's breakfast.

"You're going to run with everyone again today, right? You have to eat more. After all, your body is so weak." Austin told Gilbert while waiting for the cooked steak to be brought out from the kitchen.

"Yes." Gilbert nodded. After smelling the fragrance of the meat coming out from the pot, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Okay, here you go." the kitchen soldier took out the steaks that were emitting hot steam from the plate. "Fortunately, the weather is freezing now. If your steaks had been kept overnight earlier, there would have been bugs crawling inside."

"I know." Austin said with a smile, "Thank you. I'll make it up to you some other day."

"Don't make it another day. Let's do it today." the kitchen staff shook his head, looking down at Gilbert from the half-meter-high stove, he said, "Kid, you should lead the way today, right? You should at least run slower. We are chasing after you with a big iron pot on our backs, we really can't take it."

"Wow!" Gilbert exclaimed in surprise when he saw the steak in Austin's hand. Then, he smiled and nodded to the soldier in the kitchen. "Okay!"

"Good boy." the soldier in the kitchen showed a gratified smile, then he turned around and went back to the kitchen to eat breakfast.

"You must keep your promise to others. Come, let's sit over there and eat." Austin held the hot plate for himself, and let Gilbert take his vegetable cake and corn porridge.

The two of them walked to a corner of the campsite and sat down. As soon as they put down the plate, Gilbert rushed to get the steak.

"Don't worry, this is to be eaten cut." Austin quickly held his hand and pointed to the water bottle beside him. "Drink some water first."

When Gilbert leaned over to drink the water, Austin cut the steak on the plate into pieces.

"Okay, you can start eating." Austin handed the knife and fork to Gilbert with satisfaction.

"Thank you." Gilbert said softly, and then began to enjoy his breakfast happily.

Austin sat at the side, eating the vegetable cake while watching Gilbert eat. He thought to himself, 'Gilbert is becoming more and more human.'.

When breakfast time was almost over, Devitt led Claremont, Abel, and the others to the dining table of Gilbert and Austin. He said to Gilbert, "Yesterday, your speed was too fast. Many soldiers couldn't handle it. Can you walk slower today?"

"Yes." Gilbert was drinking water. After hearing Devitt's question, he squeezed out a word in response.

"Will we have a chance to walk out of the snake-women's plains today?" Claremont continued to ask.

Gilbert nodded in affirmation.

"I'll follow you today. Remember to find a clear position when you stand in line later." Abel reminded him.

Gilbert looked up at him and said, "Okay."

The three of them left the table and walked to the center of the camp. They gathered the soldiers who had finished their breakfast and cleaned up the equipment used to build the camp.

"I have to go there as well." Austin said to himself as he stared at the backs of the three of them. He took the last bite of the vegetable cake.

"Okay." Gilbert nodded and handed the finished dish to Austin.

Austin glanced at the greasy plate in his hand and looked up at Gilbert. "I'll wash it for you this time. You have to remember to wash it yourself in the future."

"I don't know how to do it." Gilbert said innocently.

Austin rubbed his forehead and said in defeat, "Then you have to tell me: Please help me wash the dishes, something like that. Got It?"

"Got it." Gilbert nodded. "Please wash the dishes."

"Uh..." Austin said helplessly, "Okay, okay. I'll help you wash the dishes in the future. You don't have to say these words."

There was not much time left before they set off. Austin rushed to the sink and washed the dishes. Before he could dry them, he put them into the package.

Gilbert followed him the whole time.

When he finally reached the front of the army, he consciously found Abel and walked to his side.

"You're here?" Abel said.

"Yes." Gilbert did not have a good impression of any human except Austin. Abel greeted him and replied expressionlessly.

Abel was a warm person, but due to the atmosphere in the army, he did not continue to speak to Gilbert.

The two of them stood at the front of the line, side by side.
