Lord of the Oasis

Although the days on the boat are relaxing, most of the time they are still very dull.

So every morning, DeWitt or Clement would lead his soldiers in exercises.

"Look at how lazy you all are?" Clemont lectured the soldiers: "Don't think that by staying on this ship, you can let go of your guard. If we leave you alone and return to the military camp, you will be there." It feels good.”

"Yes!" The soldiers responded with a vibrating voice as they struggled to maintain their balance on the swaying deck.

Although they didn't stay on the ship for long, by the time the trip came to an end, many soldiers had already shown their round bodies.

"Calradia's management of soldiers is really strict." Raphael said to DeWitt with a smile.

"We don't care much anymore. That's why the soldiers became like this on the ship." DeWitt said sheepishly: "Before returning to the military camp, we must correct their habits. Otherwise, it will be difficult to integrate into the army.”

"I see. I heard that everyone in the reconnaissance team is a selected elite. Their strength must be amazing." Raphael continued to praise.

"It's just that the captain who is responsible for training us thinks that our group of people is more suitable to perform this task. In the army, there are many people who are better than us." DeWitt introduced seriously.

"Captain DeWitt is so humble." Raphael smiled and said nothing more.

When DeWitt saw this, he just smiled and shook his head.

Ten days of getting along did not make the Elf soldiers and Calradian soldiers become familiar with each other.

Austinger always felt that the elf soldiers on this ship were different from the soldiers under Abel, and there was a sense of isolation when they got along. Moreover, although they were said to be on the same ship, they were nowhere to be seen.

After asking the surrounding Calradian soldiers, they also responded: There is a strange feeling in getting along with this group of elven soldiers.

Therefore, when everyone gathers in the restaurant, the Calradian soldiers and the Elf soldiers always sit separately. Even the soldiers with more active personalities gave up trying to make friends with the elf soldiers after some attempts.

DeWitt also observed this, and after dinner one day, DeWitt asked Austin out. The two men stood at the mast for the interview.

"The atmosphere in the restaurant is very deserted," DeWitt said.

"Yes, as expected, people in the elves are also different." Austinger replied.

"Is it difficult to get along with?" DeWitt continued.

"Difficult to get along with?" Austinger frowned, thought for a while, and replied: "Maybe I shouldn't say this: but I always feel that the other party is wary of us."

A puzzled expression appeared on DeWitt's face, and he confirmed: "Wary?"

"Yes." Austinger confirmed: "It seems to be isolated from their circle."

"Well, maybe as you said, they are different from Abel and others." DeWitt patted Austin on the shoulder and warned: "Just pay attention to the situation of the soldiers around you and don't cause trouble. In two days, this sea journey will be over."

As DeWitt turned around, Austin called out to him and said: "Captain DeWitt. I think it's better to be more careful with this group of people. You and Clemont will stay in the cabin during the day, maybe not You know, this group of people are sneaky all day long, and usually no one can be seen, so I don’t know what they are planning secretly.”

DeWitt turned away in confusion at Austinger's admonishment. Stared at him for a while. Responded: "...Okay."

"Yes." Austinge nodded solemnly, turned and walked into the restaurant.

After the conversation, DeWitt returned to his rest cabin. Clement is found lying on his bed.

Clemont looked up from his manuscript and saw DeWitt looking uneasy. Concerned: "What's wrong with you?"

"Austenger just told me,

You need to be careful with Raphael and the others. "DeWitt said hesitantly.

"Why?" Clemont continued to ask.

"He said that Raphael's group of people were acting strangely and had strange temperaments." DeWitt recalled what Austinger said and concluded.

"That's it." Clemont nodded and responded.

"Do you feel this way?" DeWitt asked, facing Clemont.

"You know, I'm seasick." Clemont shook his head and said, "I basically never leave the cabin. It's just that the attitude of the elf soldier who delivered me the medicine was a bit strange. I didn't pay much attention to him when I talked to him. "

"Since the soldiers are so alert, let's take a closer look." DeWitt decided.

Clemont stood there, looking thoughtful. Finally, he said to DeWitt: "Although there is only a very small chance of this happening. But if these elven soldiers really want to murder us, what is their purpose?"

"Unexpected." DeWitt also started thinking, but he never came to a conclusion.

"I remember when we landed on the island, Raphael came to greet us with his soldiers. This group of people was not as cold as now." Clemont recalled carefully.

"When you said that, I remembered. Some of the soldiers I had seen on the mountain before were rarely seen on this ship." DeWitt raised his voice and said.

"I heard that the elven soldiers and the reinforcements fought against the forces on the coast." Clemont explained: "Did the soldiers you mentioned sacrificed on the battlefield?"

"That may be the case..." DeWitt responded, lowering his head.

The two thought about it for a long time, but still didn't come to a conclusion.

DeWitt decided to drop the topic for the time being and asked Clemont: "By the way, how did you get into my cabin?"

"Asking the crew member for the key, I told him: You may have fainted in here. I need to come in and check it myself." Clement responded easily.

DeWitt rolled his eyes and said: "Go and return the spare key to the crew. If I really faint, you won't be the first to find me, okay?"

"You have good lighting here, I'll come over and read a book for a while." Clemont slowly walked to the door, threw the key into DeWitt's arms, and said, "Please return this key to me. That crew member’s name is Jenny. Brown hair, you know that, right?”

"I said you..." DeWitt took the key and prepared to scold Clemont. The other party has already closed the ship door.
