Lord of the Oasis

“How many years have you been reading the ancient books?”Al Buer asked.

When Claremont was in his teens, he used to read all kinds of books by himself. Anyone who was close to him knew about this period of history.

“It was a long time ago. It’s just that…” Claremont thought about it carefully in his mind, but he wasn’t very clear about that period of memory.

In his vague memory, the totem on the goblin seemed to have some special use.

He really couldn’t remember, so Claremont didn’t continue talking about this matter. Instead, he planned in his heart: I’ll go back and search for this kind of information.

This vague feeling of not being able to make sense of anything was really too uncomfortable.

Devitt told Bikren to remember to report the results of the examination to him in time, and then left.

Al Buer tucked the goblin in and left with Claremont, following Devitt.

Bikren walked to the hall, tired, and sat on a chair to rest.

He waited for the drug to take effect on the goblins.

Austin listened to Bikren’s words and went to the kitchen. Sure enough, he got his dinner.

He squatted outside the tent and ate alone.

On the way, a teammate passed by and greeted him, “Ah, Austin.”

“Mm.” Austin raised his head and replied.

When he thought about how these guys didn’t care about him and just ate at the dinner table, Austin was filled with anger.

“It’s good to eat alone. You don’t have to worry about the food in your bowl being taken away.” A soldier stared at Austin’s dinner, feeling hungry again.

“Come on, do you dare say that you didn’t eat as much as I did tonight?” Austin said angrily.

“I really didn’t. You know, didn’t the elf soldiers come to share the meal with us today? They ate more than half of the food on the table,” a soldier squatted beside Austin and explained to him.

Hearing this reminder, Austin thought of the agreement he had with the Elven soldiers and wondered if he should treat these two people to a meal alone. But on the surface, he still said to his teammates with disdain, “Do you think I’ll believe you? It would be a miracle if the elven soldiers could steal food from you.”

Austin hurriedly cleaned the food in his bowl. He stood up and said goodbye to everyone without turning his head, “I’m leaving.”

“This kid…”

Austin walked to the kitchen and washed his lunch box with water.

After putting the lunch box back into his luggage, Austin rushed to the medical soldier’s tent early.

“Why are you here so early?” Bikren asked in surprise when he saw him arrive.

“My mission is to look after this guy anyway, so I came to take a look,”Austin said.

Hearing his words, Bikren said in a slightly awkward manner, “According to the rules, the results of the inspection can not be disclosed to you immediately…”

“Ah… is that so…” Austin responded a little awkwardly. He did not think of this before he came. After Bikren reminded him, he suddenly came to a realization.

However, walking out now didn’t seem like such a good idea.

“Forget it.” Bikren waved his hand helplessly. “But you have to keep your mouth shut with me.”

“Okay, okay,” Austin hurriedly agreed.

Bikren glanced at the small pendulum clock on the table, looked at the curtain behind him, and said, “Now it’s time to take the blood sample. You can help too.”

“Blood…blood sample?” Austin said in surprise.

“Yes, this is the procedure of the examination.” Bikren nodded and pulled the curtain open.

Austin followed Bikren into the room.

When he saw the goblin lying on the bed, he asked Bikren, “When will he wake up?”

“That depends on himself. He will wake up when he wants to,” Bikren said, clearly implying something.

Austin was stunned. He didn’t understand what Bikren meant. He just felt that this doctor was a little cold.

“Is this how doctors are like…” Austin muttered in a low voice.

“Austin, come here,” Bikren had already put on his gloves and ordered Austin.

“Okay.” Austin walked over in due diligence.

Bikren handed the medical cotton swab to Austin and said, “I’ll have to trouble you to take care of it later.”

“Okay… okay…” Austin replied as he nervously held the cotton swab in his hand.

“Okay.” Bikren nodded. His preparations for the blood sample were smooth and neat. Even when the needle was inserted into the goblin’s wrist, Austin, who was squatting at the side, was not prepared.

100 milliliters of blood was drawn into the needle.

The goblin’s blood was blue, and the blood in the needle was almost transparent.

Austin was stunned.

“It’s quite clean.” Bikren took out the needle and put the needle under the sunlight. He looked at the transparent blue color and commented.

Austin, who was sitting by the bedside, saw blue blood coming out of the needle hole after Bikren drew the needle. He quickly used the cotton stick in his hand to block it.

The goblin still didn’t move. Austin glanced at him and immediately looked away.

After about twenty minutes, Bikren stood up from the operating table and said, “I’ll pass the report to Captain Devitt and the others. I’ll have to trouble you here.”

After saying this, Bikren lifted his foot and walked out.

“Wait, wait, doctor.” Austin’s eyes widened and quickly stopped him. “What’s the result of the examination?”

“Yes. There’s nothing wrong with its body.” Bikren looked at him and nodded.

“Good, good, good,” Austin replied happily and then stepped aside. He made a path for Bikren.

Bikren glanced at the goblin lying on the bed and found that it had already opened its eyes and was leaning against the wall.

“You’re awake?” Bikren greeted.

Austin raised his head in surprise. After a while, he looked behind him.

The goblin’s expression was confused, as if he had no focus.

“It’s good that you’re awake. You can ask questions now. Austin, keep an eye on him. If you can’t keep an eye on him, find someone to help,” Bikren instructed. Then, he walked to the door of the tent. He headed toward Devitt’s location.

“You’re awake? !” Austin said in surprise.

The goblin’s face remained expressionless. He crossed his arms and hugged its slippery body, not saying a word.

“I just gave you a bath. That’s how you became so clean,” Austin said to himself. In his eyes, the goblin who had been with him all day was like a puppy he picked up by the roadside. It was not threatening at all.
