Ark Undead

The person in charge bowed and invited the Undead and Kroos to walk inside, take the elevator, and arrive at the top floor of the entire building.

After the two stepped out of the elevator, the Undead sat down on the sofa, and Kroos sat down beside him, obediently remaining still.

This was quite different from her previous behavior, which made even the immortals turn their heads in surprise.

Is this guy so hungry he has no energy today?

"Are you a War Knight? I'm the person in charge of Kalan Trade here. Just call me Xisha."

A tall, strong Fuenti man approached and, upon seeing the Undead, immediately extended his palm to him.

"The master informed us of your possible arrival via communicator, and I have arranged for someone to receive you on the first floor. Welcome back to Victoria, Mr. Undying."

The immortals also stood up and, according to their custom, extended their hands to shake hands with the Futenti man.

Four hours ago, the Undead and Kroos had just slid off the delivery truck.

They were originally in the Lower District, but by following the bus signs and asking passersby, they found the Upper District.

Then, at a shopping mall in the upper town, I spent two or three gold coins to buy Kroos a set of clothes similar to the local style.

Following the signs, they arrived at the location of the Kalan Trade Center.

Strangely enough, in the memories of someone who is not dead, they have never been to Victoria.

But once he stepped onto Victorian soil, he felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had lived there for a long time.

The road from the lower town to the upper town felt so familiar, like it was etched into my DNA.

Even though I only asked for general directions, the way I walked and made several turns was entirely subconscious.

The Undead finally believed that SilverAsh's words were true.

Especially after arriving in the upper city, the first place the Undead went was a market that Kroos subconsciously led him to.

Victoria Premium Timber Trading Market.

Upon seeing this place, the Undead fell silent for a moment.

Then I finally believed that SilverAsh's words were true.

However, since we've come to Victoria, the first thing we need to do is find a place to stay.

In particular, the Undead have a habit of lighting their own campfires. Not having their own house would be quite inconvenient.

In addition, I have to buy all sorts of things.

In addition to the firewood that the Undead use to burn for their daily campfires, there is also the food, clothing, and other necessities of the Kroos.

If you want to eat something delicious, then go eat it. Girls should also dress nicely, not to impress anyone else, but to make themselves happy.

Kroos had no concept of these things. For her, all she needed now was to be able to eat her fill and sleep soundly.

Therefore, following the immortals will satisfy all your needs.

She was, after all, a girl, and the Undead didn't want Kroos to become a wandering ghost like herself.

Since they are normal human beings, let's teach Kroos normal concepts according to the customs of human society.

The Undead knew that he had not yet found a reason to stay, and many places he would go in the future were too dangerous for Kroos.

Like this experience in Sherag. Although I didn't encounter any particularly formidable enemies, they were still somewhat beyond a human's comprehension.

Skadi, as a deep-sea hunter, was already used to this kind of thing, both physically and cognitively.

Therefore, she was able to remain completely unmoved when facing those monsters.

But Kroos is different. In essence, Kroos is a girl with a very strong fighting instinct, and she does have a strong ability to protect herself.

But apart from the will to live, she had no other mental strength to resist the pollution.

If they were to encounter a creature like Haisi again, the sheer mental pollution caused by Haisi's appearance and aura would be enough to give Kroos a hard time.

Therefore, immortals always have a habit of thinking about things in the future.

Perhaps one day, the Undead will no longer be able to carry Kroos with them, and the place they will go will be their own battlefield.

What happens after that? What will become of this silly girl, Kroos?

Is she still like she was when she first met the Undead? Wandering around, living a life of poverty and hunger?

New scars will appear on their bodies from time to time, they will always be detached from the world and society, and eventually die in some unknown corner.

He didn't want to see this outcome.

For the immortals, this girl, whom they met on a snowy night during their journey, was eating pieces of meat that weren't quite cooked yet, and struggling to survive.

After accompanying him through the wasteland, it had already left a deep impression on the Undead.

She should have grown up with her parents, not living this life of homelessness.

But now that I'm all alone, I need to be aware of making my life better.

Therefore, before the immortals completely leave, Keobe must be given the ability to live independently.

However, even for a hero who saves the world, this is a massive undertaking, and it must be done step by step without losing anyone.

Wearing his new clothes, Kroos became noticeably more reserved than before.

In particular, the modern buildings and facilities in places like Kalan Trade are quite different from the more primitive villages of Shelag.

Such a place could easily make a wild, blonde girl feel dangerous.

So she sat quietly beside the undead, without saying a word.

The Undying Man planned to talk to this person who claimed to be in charge of Xisha and try to find a way to help him buy the house he used to live in.

Another thing is to help the Undead find a job, at least not another bounty hunter job.

While Victoria's laws are not particularly harsh, they do have a comprehensive set of rules and regulations.

Considering that Kroos and the undead will be staying here for quite some time, it would be better to find a decent job.

Otherwise, we won't even have money to buy firewood!

"Hello."

The Undead nodded, greeted the person in charge in front of him, and finally sat down on the sofa.

"This is a badge."

As he spoke, the Undead took out the badges he had saved and handed them to Xisha in front of him.

Xisha took the badge, glanced at it symbolically, and then handed it to the Undead.

“This is something the head of the family entrusted to you. We are not entitled to inspect it. However, due to the recent popularity of the knightly culture of Kazimierz in Victoria, we have to check it to prevent anyone from impersonating you and swindling people. Please forgive us.”

As she spoke, Xisha bowed slightly to the Undead to show her respect.

The fact that he was not dead was not a problem, but Xisha's attitude reminded him of SilverAsh's attitude towards him back in Kherag, as well as the actions of the head of the Shiva Ash family.

Their etiquette and respect for people and things are exactly the same, practically a carbon copy. Is this what Karan trade is all about?!

"fine."

The Undead shook his head, leaned back slightly, and spoke.

"I came here to take the house back."

The Undead spoke succinctly, and he was somewhat worried that Xisha in front of him might not understand him.

But Xisha nodded, indicating that she had heard about it before.

“When I spoke with the master on the phone before, he already told me about this. The residence in the lower city, right? It is indeed on our Kalan Trading's property list. You will be able to pick up the house keys when you leave in a little while.”

Xisha, a member of the Fengti tribe, asked again.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

The immortal nodded and said.

"I want to find a job."

Xisha was stunned when he heard this. He never expected the Undead to make such a request.

But in reality, based on the Undying Man's own situation, he definitely has enough money, but how long it will last is uncertain.

According to the custom of those who don't die, they must always keep a portion of their savings in order to avoid running out of money at crucial moments and causing problems.

During the Age of Fire, the Undead had a habit of storing soul coins. Even if they accidentally lost most of their souls somewhere, they could quickly crush souls to meet their urgent needs when necessary.

But what surprised Xisha was that this immortal man was actually worried about money.

“The master said that all your daily expenses in Victoria will be paid by our Carlan Trading Company.”

Xisha relayed SilverAsh's words to the Undead verbatim.

"The master believes that this is what you deserve, and that your contributions far exceed this."

"Help me, thank you, SilverAsh."

The Undead nodded, first expressing his gratitude to SilverAsh, but then spoke again.

"However, rewards are rewards. Affection cannot be measured in money."

SilverAsh's actions left a very good impression on the Undead.

He also hoped to maintain this relationship with SilverAsh, rather than letting trivial matters affect their interactions.

Moreover, having a proper job allows immortals to better engage with society.

He hadn't forgotten why he came to Victoria.

He came with the Dragon Head Stone, and according to SilverAsh, the man who left the world of painting established his dynasty here.

Perhaps Victoria is the kingdom of that dragon believer?

Without sufficient social standing, one cannot access those things.

Even with the help of the Kalan trade, how many clues could they possibly find in those fragmented historical records?

Only those who personally experienced history can examine it from a specialized perspective and find clues related to the Dragon Head Stone.

"Hmm...I understand."

After hearing the Undead's words, Xisha's opinion of the war knight in front of her changed considerably.

I initially thought the War Knights were just powerful warriors, but I was surprised to learn that they also had their own principles when it came to interpersonal relationships and social interactions.
