Ark Undead

Tianhuo put down the invitation and, when he was saying the word "rules," he made a "quotation mark" gesture with both hands next to his head.

"rule?"

The immortal leaned forward slightly and asked.

"What, rules?"

“In Victoria, there’s a lot to prepare for attending a banquet. It depends especially on your status at the banquet. This will directly affect how much you can gain from it.”

Tianhuo shrank back into the soft sofa.

"Well... let me give you an example. If my father hosts a banquet and invites only his friends and colleagues, then as his daughter, I am his representative and cannot embarrass him."

Tianhuo said.

"I need to know my father's current situation well, whether he is healthy, whether his illness has improved, whether his work is going well, what he is worried about recently, and what other plans he has in the near future."

As he spoke these words, Tianhuo's pace quickened.

She had always found these formalities restrictive. Although she maintained her manners and elegance, she still disliked these complicated procedures.

"I even have to put on makeup and greet people my father doesn't have time to deal with, and make sure they're all satisfied. Only then can the banquet have a happy ending for both host and guests."

Heavenly Fire looked at the Undead.

"You understand what I mean, right?"

"I know."

The immortal nodded; he understood.

"You continue."

"very good."

Tianhuo sat up and took another sip of his coffee.

"If I were a guest attending such a banquet, the most basic thing I would do is to make myself look as presentable as possible so as not to embarrass the host."

"During the banquet, always chat with guests in a friendly manner, do not try to pry into the host's family affairs, and maintain your own etiquette and appearance throughout."

Tianhuo gestured in the air with her hands, and then waved her hand.

"Anyway, it's just a bunch of random things. To sum it up, it's all about being elegant."

"grace."

The immortal nodded and asked.

Even if I am an infected person?

"This is the key point I want to make: what if your identity is special?"

Tianhuo put down her coffee and looked at the Undead beside her.

“Mr. Undead, you are my assistant, and also an independent master sorcerer. Although you are going there as an assistant, you must act arrogantly and be full of personality.”

"why?"

"Immortal said in confusion."

"No, do you want it to be elegant?"

"Because your purpose is not just to attend this banquet."

Heavenly Fire spoke to the Undead.

"The reason I invited you to this banquet is so that you can attract more attention here. Otherwise, the 'Infected' label on your warlock's certificate will hinder your development in Victoria."

She snapped her fingers casually, and the ring on her hand ignited a flame, a tiny spark lighting up at the tip of her finger.

"Imagine you are this flame. What do you need to do to let more people see you?"

"Strive, burn?"

"That's right, it's about promoting yourself."

Tianhuo nodded and casually dispersed the flame.

“In Victoria, people might care a lot about whether you are infected or an ordinary person. But the nobles don’t care about these things; they only care about how much value you have.”

"Just as the Sorcerer's Guild wouldn't refuse an infected person who possesses a Sorcerer's Certificate, the nobles don't mind dealing with an infected person, as long as that infected person has enough value to help them at some point."

"And your knowledge and abilities are just enough to allow you to transcend the identity of the infected and put the identity of the warlock first."

Tianhuo looked at the Undead and said.

"Therefore, the more flamboyant you are, the better. The more dazzling you are, the more people will see you. They won't see the Originium on you, they will only see your powerful strength."

The Undead nodded, listening intently to what Skyfire had to say.

What Tianhuo made him do was exactly what the Undead needed to do.

He needs to connect with more people and have more channels to obtain the information he wants.

But he had a question.

The immortal remained silent for a moment before asking a question.

"You seem very enthusiastic."

Tianhuo paused for a moment, then picked up her coffee and took a sip.

The immortal continued.

"You really want me to sell myself."

Even though this is something the Undead are supposed to do, it's strange that Skyfire is so eager to teach the Undead.

Tianhuo isn't the kind of person who's enthusiastic about helping others, as evidenced by her cold and indifferent attitude towards others.

Moreover, the Undead was merely a probationary assistant. Although the Undead's strength had been recognized by Skyfire, it still seemed somewhat strange.

Especially in yesterday's letter, Tianhuo referred to himself as a friend at the end.

For a woman like Tianhuo, isn't the relationship progressing a bit too fast?

Tianhuo put down her coffee, having just taken a sip, which had already masked her embarrassment and panic for a moment.

"cough."

But she still coughed subconsciously to buy herself some more time to speak.

"Well, consider this a return gift, Mr. Undead."

Tianhuo picked up a back cushion from the side, hugged it to her chest, and said.

"A couple of days ago, didn't you let me take a nap...? Well, you used special methods to make me lose consciousness and get a good rest."

Realizing his statement was somewhat odd, Tianhuo quickly corrected it.

"It's rare for a man to be alone in a room with a woman and simply watch over her while she rests peacefully. I really admire you for being able to do that."

"more than."

The Undead shook his head, he said.

"That's not a reason."

Using the excuse that immortals can control their desires is utterly clumsy.

Tianhuo must have other ideas, and in fact, she has already revealed them.

"You want me to teach you spells?"

"The immortal asked."

"Is that so?"

This is actually not difficult to deduce.

The reason why Tianhuo stayed up all night the other day to search for information was because he was looking for information about fire magic.

How come someone who started researching fire emotions based on a single statement from an immortal person didn't mention their previous research at all in today's conversation?

Just how important is an invitation? Even if someone dies, they can still see it.

Vina plans to have the Undead replace Hannah, and SilverAsh gives up his chance to the Undead.

These two individuals are not ordinary people, and Tianhuo actually sent an invitation to the Undead instead of the other two.

If someone is being overly solicitous for no reason, there must be something they want.

What could the Undead possibly have that would make Heavenly Fire covet them?

It's nothing more than that ball of flame.

"..."

Tianhuo nodded dejectedly.

She is really not suited to lying, nor is she suited to hiding her thoughts.

She intended to make her demands only after the undead had successfully obtained what he wanted, but the undead sensed it beforehand.

"You can ask me about this."

"The Undead said."

"Why, do we need to complete the transaction?"

The Undead don't really care about the Skyfire's thirst for knowledge. For a warlock, this is perfectly normal.

But what puzzled him was why Tianhuo would use such a method, which was somewhat like coercion, to extract benefits from the Undead.

"Because knowledge is very important to warlocks, I can't guarantee you'll agree. And..."

Tianhuo paused for a moment, then lowered her head.

Her flaxen hair fell down, obscuring her flushed cheeks.

"If you knew I thirsted for your knowledge, you would probably run away too, wouldn't you? For a sorcerer, his own knowledge is his life."

This is the real reason why Tianhuo did such a thing.

If it were just a normal exchange, Tianhuo wouldn't have done it so discreetly.

But that's not an ordinary thing.
