Lord of the Oasis Chapter 753 – The Discovery of Spring

Chapter 753: The Discovery of Spring

“Spring?” Claremont was slightly surprised.

“Yes. Jeb and the others found it when they were packing.” the soldier looked very happy.

“Take us there.” Devitt ordered.

While walking on the road, Claremont thought of something and said, “This place is already close to the volcano. It’s not strange to have a spring water.”

“Yes.” Devitt nodded. From afar, he could already see the soldiers gathered together.

“Captain Devitt, Captain Claremont! You’re here.” Austin, who had accidentally caught a glimpse of Devitt’s group, called out happily.

Now, they were all gathered by the hot spring pool. While they were worried about the effect of the hot spring, they also wanted to go down and try it out.

Now that they saw Devitt and the others rushing over, they naturally became excited.

Devitt and Claremont nodded to the soldiers who greeted them. They passed through the crowd and walked to the side of the hot spring pool.

Looking at the water surface that was filled with fog, they asked the soldier beside them, “Are the elven soldiers here too?”

“Someone has already gone to look for them. They should be here soon.” the soldier replied.

“Okay.” Devitt nodded and said, “Let Bicklen come over first to check if this hot spring is safe to let people in.”

The medic, Bicklen, who was standing in the back row, was instantly pushed to the front by the soldiers. He stopped in front of Devitt.

Bicklen had no choice but to take out a tube of medicine from his bag, as well as a sponge to absorb water. He explained to Devitt, “As long as this medicine doesn’t change color after adding hot spring water, then this hot spring is safe for us.”

As soon as he finished speaking, before Devitt could say anything, the soldiers behind him cheered.

Claremont looked back in amusement. As a result, the soldiers instantly became quiet.

“You go ahead.” Devitt said to Bicklen.

Bicklen nodded and carefully walked to the lowest depression between the bluestone floor and the pool surface. He squatted down to collect the hot spring water.

After injecting the water from the sponge into the syringe, he nervously stared at its reaction.

“The hot spring is safe.” Bicklen gestured ‘Yes’ to the soldiers standing by the pool.

All the soldiers were very happy when they heard the news.

However, they still didn’t do anything. They just stared at Devitt and Claremont, waiting for the two of them to give the order.

“Don’t send too many people in at once. It’ll be troublesome if you make a big noise. According to the order, the first team will go first then the second team. If you want to go later, switch seats with the people at the back.” Claremont said.

“Yes.” the soldiers were very happy when they heard the news.

Even the soldiers at the back were happy to go back and unpack their luggage.

Tonight, no matter if it was the Caradia soldiers or the elven soldiers, they could only rest in portable tents. Moreover, they could not make a fire to cook, and could only eat the dry rations in their luggage.

The appearance of the hot spring really comforted a large group of people.

After seeing the soldiers return to their posts, Devitt and Claremont waited for Abel and his elven soldiers to arrive.

“I heard that you discovered a hot spring.” Devitt raised his head and saw Abel walking towards him with a smile on his face. Behind him was a team of elven soldiers.

Tonight, the elven soldiers lived separately from the Caradia soldiers. Thus, Abel took some time to arrive here with his men.

“Yes, we found it by accident.” Devitt replied.

“How is it? Is there any problem?” Abel walked to the side of the hot spring and looked at the steam below.

“Our man checked it and found no problem.” Claremont replied. “We just want to let the elven mages see if this place will have any effect on the elven soldiers.”

Abel nodded and raised his right hand. A small stream of hot spring water swam from the pool to his palm.

Abel stared at the small whirlpool in his hand for a while and said with relief, “No problem.”

“Our luck is really good. We actually found a hot spring pool when we stopped in the territory of the dragon clan.” Claremont sighed.

“I don’t think this is a coincidence. After all, it was Gilbert who led us all the way here,” Abel replied, “He really did his best to work out the best route for the entire team.”

“The best route Gilbert thinks is to go around this estate and take the road at west side of the mountain instead.” Devitt said.

Abel and Claremont nodded, but they didn’t say anything,

During dinner time, the soldiers in the kitchen couldn’t bear to see everyone gnawing on wheat bread too hard. They took out the eggs and milk they had stored and heated them with hot water from the hot spring. He distributed them to everyone.

Austin held a dinner for two and searched around the camp for Gilbert.

Finally, he found Gilbert in the tent that the other soldiers had built for Gilbert.

“Gilbert, why are you here?”

The space in the tent was not spacious, and this tent was specially made for Gilbert. For Austin’s relatively tall figure, it was still a bit of a stretch.

“The shoes are broken.” Gilbert sat by the bed and kicked off the broken cloth shoes.

This pair of shoes was found in Austin’s luggage and given to him. The size was not suitable to begin with. Moreover, he had been walking on the mountain road for the past few days, so it was normal for the shoes to be broken.

“It’s broken?” Austin squatted down and held the broken shoes in his hand. He looked at them carefully and determined that they could not be mended. Then he looked up and said to Gilbert, “I’ll find another pair for you.”

Then he handed over the dinner in his hand and said, “You eat first.”

Gilbert took the food from Austin’s hand and said, “Then come back quickly.”

“Okay.” Austin nodded. Then he bent over and walked out of the tent.

Gilbert bit the egg while staring at the rotten shoes on the side. Ever since the army settled down here, he ran out of the military camp. He climbed up the hill and observed the situation around the military camp. In the end, he didn’t even find a single pseudo dragon.

“What’s going on…” Gilbert muttered in his heart.

It was clearly the season when pseudo dragons were active in the dragon clan’s estate…

“I’m back.” Just as Gilbert was deep in thought, Austin walked in with a pair of new fluffy cotton shoes.

“Mm.” Gilbert looked at Austin and replied.

“How is it?” Austin squatted down and raised the cotton shoes in front of Gilbert as he asked.

“It looks very warm.” Gilbert took the last bite of the egg and commented.

“Try it on,” Austin said as he put on Gilbert’s purple feet.
