Chapter 727: The Time for Dinner

“The secrets contained within this mountain forest are probably unimaginable to us.” Devitt recalled the encounter in the market and was even more certain that they had walked into some sort of formation. It caused the exchange of time and space and so on.

“However, to be able to make up for all the resources as originally planned, it’s quite something to be happy about.” After walking down this mountain ridge, Claremont felt much more relaxed.

“Mm.” Devitt’s brows relaxed as Claremont spoke.

“We’re at the foot of the mountain!” Cheers came from the front of the group.

“Quickly find a suitable place to set up camp,” Abel commanded.

“Is this the place we passed on our way up the mountain?” Devitt confirmed with Abel.

“Mm,” Abel confirmed. On the day they set up camp at the foot of the mountain, it was his turn to bring people out to hunt. He was very familiar with the scenery here.

“I’m right. This mountain is changing at all times. The distance of each mountain path and the destination are changing,” Devitt said to the other two.

“I noticed it the moment I walked into the market. Although I didn’t sense any specific movement, there is a force restricting our ability,” Abel nodded.

“Don’t think about it. We won’t come here again.” Claremont interrupted their conversation. As long as he recalled everything that happened in the market, he would feel a chill.

“Mm.”Abel felt the same way.

Devitt was silent. He cast his gaze towards the mountains. Will they come again?

“Let’s go. We should go help.” Claremont brought the two of them to the scene where the soldiers were building their barracks.

After receiving the new supplies, everyone was in high spirits. When they started working, they were full of vigor, and their progress was fast.

“In the future, we won’t have to go out hunting. That’s really great.” Claremont sighed.

“The results from hunting are different every day. It’s really not that stable. Now, we can finally have peaceful meals.” Abel, who was experienced, added.

“I didn’t realize it until now. Eating is such a blissful thing,” Claremont said.

“In terms of the speed at which you realize this, you can’t compare to the soldiers under you,” Abel joked with a smile.

During dinner time, the kitchen served many delicious dishes with the new food.

When the dishes were served, everyone looked very happy.

Looking at the large pieces of fat meat in the soup bowl, they couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.

“Such days are too good,” a soldier shouted.

The few days before had been too hard. Now, the bitterness had come to an end. Everyone was a little touched.

“I can’t bear to eat anymore,” a soldier said with a sad face.

“Eat more on the days when you can eat. You can last longer when you are hungry,” a soldier beside him understood his mood and joked casually.

“Mm.” The soldier pursed his lips and uttered a word from his throat.

“What a sumptuous dinner today.” Claremont and Abel would always gather together during dinner. They would chat for a long time. At this moment, Claremont walked over with a bowl of vegetables to Abel who was sitting.

“Sit.” Abel pulled over a simple chair and gestured for Claremont to sit down.

Claremont glanced at Abel’s bowl and said, “Actually, I was very curious in the past. Do the elves like to eat things like carrots that much? Every time, you always have a full bowl.”

Abel scratched his head and asked, “As for carrots… I’m not too sure. I really like to eat things like tomatoes.”.

“Are these carrots boiled in plain water?” Claremont continued to ask.

“Yes.” Abel nodded and said, “Have a taste?”

“Sure.” Claremont had never eaten food cooked by the elves before. As he spoke, he raised his chopsticks and took a piece from Abel’s bowl into his own.

“Hmm… what a strange taste.” After tasting it for a while, Claremont pursed his lips and said, “You actually eat this every day.”

“It’s not strange.” Abel shook his head, picked up a carrot skewer, and naturally began to eat it.

“Seeing you eat so well, I thought it was delicious,” Claremont complained.

The two of them started to joke with each other.

After dinner, the two people who had just put down their bowls were called to Devitt’s tent.

The three of them gathered around the table and began to plan the route they would take the next day.

“It seems that we are closer to the next target than before,” Devitt said.

“However, this area on the map doesn’t show the specific route. We can only try to figure it out on our own,” Abel said as he circled an area on the map with his index finger.

“This should be an area that no one is in charge of, right? I wonder what kind of monsters will appear here,” Claremont commented.

“Indeed, it’s quite troublesome.” Abel nodded.

“However, isn’t Captain Abel the best at leading the way?” Devitt leaned on the table and said with a smile.

“I just have some understanding of the natural world.” Abel said helplessly, “My luck has never been that good.”

“I have faith in you.” Claremont followed Abel’s words and joked.

The three of them chatted idly until late at night.

At eleven o’clock in the evening, Devitt invited the two of them out of the tent. He explained, “I have to go to the night shift.”.

“Are you alright now?”Abel asked with concern.

“I have already recovered. I had time to rest for a few days. My body is in the best condition now,” Devitt replied.

“I hope you can always be as healthy as this.” Claremont smiled and said, “We’ll go back and rest.”

“Okay.” Devitt smiled and sent the two away.

He walked back to the tent, put on his armor for duty, and brought his own weapons.

The night patrol team waited for Devitt at the entrance of the tent. This was the first time the captain picked up duty after being injured. There were still many soldiers who came to show concern.

“What are you doing in such a large formation?” Devitt walked out of the tent. When he saw the faces of the soldiers, he was slightly surprised.

“Captain Devitt, we are in charge of duty with you today,”a soldier replied.

“Hurry up and go do your own tasks. I can do it alone.” Devitt waved his hand and said.

“Captain, your body…” a soldier said hesitantly.

“My body has been well-rested for the past few days. Do any of you want to try it?” Devitt said.

“No, no.” The soldiers quickly denied.

Usually, not many of them could beat Devitt, let alone in this situation.
