Ark Undead
Page 183
I wanted to verify this with the representatives of the Kasimir companies, but the mocking expressions on their faces seemed to say it all.
After the recent commotion, although some unsuspecting individuals still tried to approach the Undead to speak, most were driven back by a single glance from him.
He was annoyed; these inexplicable social engagements were simply a waste of time.
The two went to the exposed balcony.
Tianhuo only breathed a sigh of relief when he leaned his arms against the balcony railing.
A cool evening breeze caressed her face, causing her to squint her eyes slightly.
The immortal man didn't speak; he leaned against the railing, lost in thought.
The silence between the two lasted for two or three minutes.
Until Tianhuo's somewhat angry voice rang out.
"If I don't say anything, are you not going to say anything either?"
"Ok?"
The immortal looked over in confusion.
Why do I need to talk? I just came out for some fresh air.
"Aren't you going to explain? Undead... no, War-Knight-Sir!"
The emphasis of the Heavenly Fire was placed on the War Knight.
She turned around, her flaxen hair blowing back.
At this moment, she had untied her long hair, and the strands danced in the wind, causing her fiery red skirt to flutter as well.
"Why would the renowned War Knight serve as an assistant to a lowly warlock like myself?"
Tianhuo was in a bad mood because she saw that no one was dead.
"Just for that little bit of salary? You even went to the trouble of getting a warlock's certificate?"
War Knight, what's so easy to make money doing? Just signing a contract with those money-grubbing guys can bring in countless sums of money.
They even insisted on coming here to be her little assistant.
Aside from wanting to attend banquets in her name or to obtain other channels, Tianhuo couldn't think of anything else about herself that he might covet.
What's even more despicable is this knight.
He's clearly a reckless brute! How come he's more skilled in fire magic than her?!
This is outrageous!
The Undead was silent for a while, unsure of what to say.
Indeed, at first, they did consider using their connections with the Tianhuo faction to establish a relationship with the nobles.
But at that time, I never thought about revealing my identity as a War Knight.
The plan only changed after Xisha made the decision for him without his consent, revealing her identity and attracting attention.
"Xisha, help me find a job."
"The Undead said."
"I just don't want to be noticed."
Indeed, he was just a soldier, so what's there to pay attention to?
The undead felt uncomfortable under those people's gazes. Therefore, he didn't want to interact with others as a war knight.
That would only backfire.
"Wow, you even have connections with the Kalan trade, and are even a retainer of the Aslan royalists. You certainly have a lot of identities, don't you?"
Upon hearing about Xisha, Tianhuo immediately thought of two other forces.
Her words were full of complaint.
The main reason is that she feels her trust has been betrayed.
While he did indeed have the idea of learning sorcery from the Undead, he also had a desire to help the Undead gain fame, as this invitation was extremely valuable within the entire noble circle.
Just by looking at the people who came today, you can tell that not just any ordinary nobleman can come here.
Although Tianhuo made it sound easy, saying she had no other people to invite, she still put in a lot of effort to get this second invitation.
Unlike the invitations held by Vina and Xisha, given their status, having an extra invitation is perfectly reasonable.
But a solitary warlock like Skyfire doesn't get a free second invitation.
The price she paid was no small amount.
A slight annoyance lingered on her pretty face, her rosy cheeks flushed red—it was hard to tell whether it was from anger or from the heat.
But when paired with a red dress, it creates a dazzling beauty.
Unfortunately, what stood before her was an immortal.
"It's alright, not too much."
The Undead shook his head; he thought this was alright.
He used to have many more titles, such as the Nameless Hero, the Nameless King Seeker, the God Hunter, and Lord Ashes.
He himself couldn't remember.
But to Tianhuo, those words sounded like mockery.
"you!"
She gritted her teeth, almost unable to resist raising her hand to unleash a burst of flames on the man in front of her.
But considering his abilities, Tianhuo still couldn't make a move.
To avoid bringing shame upon oneself.
At this moment, the Undead Man unexpectedly uttered a sentence that made Tianhuo pause for a moment.
"But thank you."
The immortal bowed slightly to her to express his gratitude.
He was actually well aware of the value of this second invitation.
Even after his identity as an immortal was exposed, Tianhuo helped him deal with those who wanted to catch up and ask for details.
That shouldn't have been her job, but rather the job of her male companion.
Moreover, his actions did indeed suggest that he intended to exploit the heavenly fire.
The immortals cannot deny this.
"I will teach you how to control the flames later."
In the end, the Undead still expressed his apology and willingly stepped into the trap of the Heavenly Fire.
"This can be considered payment."
That should have been the end of it, but Tianhuo still felt a little uncomfortable listening to it.
For some reason, the word "reward" felt like a needle pricking at my heart, making me feel a little uncomfortable.
"I do not like."
Tianhuo frowned, and proudly raised her head slightly, looking up as if she were looking down at the undead in front of her.
"I don't like the word 'compensation,' change it!"
She's not good at hiding her emotions, which is similar to the Undead.
Therefore, she just said it directly.
I'm not happy!
"..."
The Undead simply cannot comprehend Tianhuo's thought process.
Isn't that payment? Dealing with Hannah and Vina always starts with payment, doesn't it?
Little did she know that from the moment the Undead first helped her control the flames and was able to endure the high temperatures around her, he had already been regarded as a friend by Skyfire.
She is proud, therefore she only allows herself to befriend people who are equally outstanding.
Such people have the fewest friends, and gaining their approval is the most difficult thing to do.
It was precisely because Tianhuo regarded the Undead as friends that she considered gaining knowledge from him by becoming closer to him.
Otherwise, why would a proud and arrogant genius sorceress lower herself to show such goodwill to someone she has absolutely no feelings for?
Deep down, she was always a proud cat; only those she approved of were worthy of her help.
"Then let's choose another one."
The immortal thought for a moment and then said.
"A thank-you gift?"
Although it was somewhat different from what I had expected, it was still much better than the compensation sounded.
It's not that distant.
So the fiery Phil's lips curled into a small smile, which quickly disappeared.
The fluffy ears on its head stood up, and the tail hidden under its skirt swayed slightly from side to side unconsciously.
"It's alright, I guess. Barely passable."
Tianhu snorted, turned around, and headed towards the banquet hall.
"Let's go, I'll introduce you to the warlocks. We've come all this way, so at least we should accomplish our original purpose."
Watching the slightly excited back of the Felin girl, the Undead was filled with deep doubt.
Why is she happy again?
That's weird, I don't understand.
