Ark Undead

"Your performance is much more composed than that of ordinary bounty hunters."

"I just don't like talking."

The immortal seemed to have taken a liking to one of the lists; he kept it in his hand and then took out another one.

"But, that woman... I vaguely remember her."

"Have you seen him?"

Old Benny suddenly realized.

"That's right. She seems to have come from Youquan Town as well. You should have met her before."

"Is something wrong?"

The Undead looked up at Old Benny.

Like old Seto, they were both extremely rule-abiding. Unless it was something serious, they would rarely discuss other people with the bounty hunters.

Old Benny might have something he wanted to ask the Undead to do, otherwise he wouldn't have brought up Skadi.

"It's not a big deal."

Old Benny said as he poured the freshly boiled water into the bucket.

"Well, in a few days, she might need your help. It's a request she's made to me."

"name?"

"No."

Old Benny sensed the Undead's gaze on him, so he quickly turned around and waved to the Undead.

"Don't worry, no one specifically contacted you. She just asked me to help her find some reliable bounty hunters. It's probably a mission related to her. I was just asking you. The reward is quite good. If you're interested, I can tell you the details in a bit."

The Undead were very alert, which was beyond Old Benny's expectations.

Bounty hunters rarely receive specific commissions. Either they are so famous that people come to them, or their information has been leaked.

The fact that the Undead was so wary of Old Benny based on just one sentence made Old Benny start to doubt whether the Undead was really a newcomer.

No wonder Old Seto told him that the Undead was very powerful and that he should make good use of the opportunity to deal with him.

"Why me?"

The Undead spoke again, puzzled. He didn't understand why Old Benny would tell him this.

Logically speaking, it's unreasonable for Old Benny to be so enthusiastic after only knowing each other for one night.

Old Benny glanced at the Undead and sighed.

"Just based on that question you asked, it had to be you. It proves you're alert and perceptive. Reliable bounty hunters usually possess this trait."

He pointed to a basket of cheese placed on a chair next to the Undead.

"Excuse me, could you do me a favor?"

The Undead handed the cheese to Old Benny, who then continued speaking.

"Moreover, Old Seto specifically told me to pay more attention to you, saying you are very strong."

"Um..."

The Undead nodded. If it was Old Seto who told him, then it made perfect sense.

"I'll come to find you tonight. And Skadi, is she here?"

"Yes."

Old Benny looked at the Undead and smiled.

"And you're not far away."

"?" The Undead didn't understand what Old Benny meant by that.

He took out the task lists he had selected and organized the lists next to him.

"These."

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll register you right away."

After completing the task registration, the Undead took several forms and went upstairs to his room.

When Kroos awoke, the Undead were still preparing firewood to burn.

The blond, silly dog ​​stretched, and sunlight streamed in through the window, lingering on Kroos's golden hair and giving it a beautiful dark gold hue.

"Pack your things."

The Undead threw the last of the firewood into the brazier and clapped his hands.

"Are we going to fight bad guys?!"

Upon hearing the Undead speak, Kroos immediately became expectant.

Although she didn't know exactly what she was supposed to do, she vaguely remembered that the Undead had said yesterday that they were going to fight the bad guys.

"Yes."

"The Undead said."

"Okay, we can change the food."

Based on Ceobe's thinking, the explanation that no one dies is probably the most suitable answer for her.

The foolish child immediately jumped off the bed, put on the robe of the undead, and slung the slings containing many weapons over his shoulder.

She's been idle for a long time; following the Undead, she's hardly had a chance to lift a finger.

But fighting bad guys is as important as it's ingrained in her DNA; it's one of her hobbies.

After Kroos finished packing, the two said goodbye to old Benny as they left the hotel.

Old Benny watched the two leave with a smile, then continued brewing his milk tea.

The morning in Shelag is the most peaceful time of day.

The wind and snow stopped, and the earth was bathed in golden sunlight.

Unfortunately, dark clouds will soon gather again in the sky.

The Undead need to complete the mission with Kroos as soon as possible; good weather always makes things easier.

Despite how beautiful the mornings are in Sherag, there are still some who cannot greet the sun with a smile.

In a sacrificial ceremony that took place a few days ago, a girl named Enya Shivaish was chosen as a candidate for sainthood.

She didn't seem to feel any joy about it. It seems that the identity of a saintess didn't please her.

That's why she locked herself in her room and gazed silently at the rising sun.

Unable to resist Manju-in's decision, Eun-ah tries to seek help from her family, but her brother has a different opinion.

Even Enya herself didn't know what she was thinking. Just as she was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door behind her.

dong dong dong.

"Miss."

A man's voice came from outside the door.

“The servants say you haven’t eaten for two days.”

Along with the sound, the door that Enya had locked was also opened with a key.

Besides himself, there were two other people in the entire mansion who had keys to their own rooms.

Besides being the eldest brother with the highest status in the family, he is also Cliffheart, a trusted guard and head butler in the Shivaesh household.

At this point, he was the only one who would take the initiative to care about her.

"Miss."

The burly man from the Fengti tribe opened the door and pushed the food cart in, placing plates of dishes on the table in Enya's room.

"No matter what happens, your own health is the most important thing, and you must not go without eating."

In Shelag, consuming large amounts of calories is something almost every Shelag resident has to do in order to combat the harsh environment.

This makes eating a top priority for the people of Shelag.

Finally, after placing a cup of hot milk tea on the table, Horn Peak looked at Eun-ah, who was sitting on the balcony gazing at the sun.

"Miss, please have something to eat."

Horn Peak had practically watched Eun-ah grow up, and seeing her in such a predicament, he couldn't help but feel pity for her.

Becoming a saintess is not as simple as it sounds.

In Kjerag, the election of saints is a major event, not only because of its religious significance, but also because of the brutality of the ceremony.

First, after the passing of the previous saintess, all eligible girls this year will enter the Chosen Shrine.

Only those struck by the first drop of melting snow on the day of the selection ceremony have a chance to become saints.

After this, the chosen one must take the trial bell and set off from the Shrine of the Chosen Ones, traversing the treacherous path along Mount Kalan to the divine abode on the mountain. The trial is not considered complete until the trial bell is hung on the rack.

This was already quite difficult, but it didn't stop there.

During the climb, one must adhere to the rule of bowing every three steps and ringing a bell every five steps; otherwise, one will lose the qualification to become a saint.

If someone is disqualified, a new candidate will be chosen at the Election Shrine the following day.

Some girls, unable to withstand such a harsh selection process, collapse on either side of the treacherous road, losing their lives under the threat of cold and hunger.

Some girls also chose to withdraw from the selection process.

But becoming a saint means a great deal, and to withdraw abruptly would be seen as disrespectful to the gods. Therefore, most of the chosen ones choose to do their utmost to climb the sacred mountain.

Only those with outstanding physical condition, abundant energy, devout faith, and divine favor have the opportunity to become saintesses.

Although Enya was quite devout in her faith, she never thought about becoming a saint, nor did she have any desire to do so.

However, his older brother had a different opinion on the matter.

After Enya was chosen as a candidate for sainthood, he immediately asked her to obey God's will and strive to become a saint.

The two had a huge argument late one night, which Horn Peak heard clearly.
