Ark Undead
Page 209
The maid glanced at the armored figure at the door again. Then she told the undead to wait at the door while she went inside to inform the master.
Half a minute later, several figures came out of the main building and rushed towards the door.
It was Mr. Wilson and his wife.
Upon seeing the immortal, Mr. Wilson immediately ordered the gate to be opened and stretched out his arms to welcome the immortal.
"You still came! I thought you weren't planning on coming to see us!"
Mr. Wilson wore a genuine smile, and even the undead could feel the warmth and surprise emanating from him.
The Undead didn't say much. After shaking hands with Mr. Wilson, he was led by Mr. Wilson to sit down in the main building.
The Undead saw the modest decorations along the way and nodded slightly, indicating his appreciation for Mr. Wilson's aesthetic sense.
When the Undead sat down in the reception room, the table was already set with tea and snacks.
"I just received a letter from my daughter a couple of days ago. In the letter, she said that she is doing very well and hopes that we will not worry about her. She also said that her health has improved a lot and that she can now enjoy life like a normal person."
As soon as Wilson sat down, he couldn't help but start chatting with the undead about his daughter.
The immortal man naturally realized that the little girl Mr. Wilson was referring to was Melantha.
“My wife and I only have Melantha as our child, so naturally we care about her even more. Although she unfortunately contracted Oripathy, she is at least happy now. As long as she is happy, that’s all that matters.”
As he spoke, Wilson recalled the infected riots that occurred more than a year ago.
He was a man, but he still couldn't help but get teary-eyed.
His daughter becoming infected was a lifelong pain for him.
Mr. Wilson and his wife were late in life having a child, so naturally they were extremely concerned about Melanie.
Moreover, Melantha is a quiet girl with great talent in everything she does.
Although she was in poor health, it was this illness that forged Melanie's indomitable spirit.
Therefore, Melantha is definitely a lovable girl.
Melanie's parents are heartbroken by what she has suffered.
She could have finished high school and college under her parents' protection, then inherited their business, and later did what she wanted to do, living a peaceful and uneventful life.
Now it's turned into this mess.
As Wilson recounted these events to the Undead, Mrs. Wilson stood beside him, wiping away tears.
Both men were businessmen, and they couldn't usually say these things to their servants.
They're either working or socializing, so there's no time to confide in each other, and many emotions are kept inside.
The Undead happens to have a very good relationship with Melantha and is also their family's savior.
It's understandable that you might have trouble controlling your emotions for a moment.
"Thanks to your help back then, otherwise I really don't know what I would have done."
Mr. Wilson wiped away the tears welling up in his eyes, then reached out and grasped the Undead's hand, speaking earnestly.
"You are our family's benefactor for life! If there's anything we can help you with in the future, please don't hesitate to ask! We'll do our best to help you with anything we can!"
The immortals couldn't quite understand Mr. Wilson's grief, but they couldn't say it directly either.
From his experience, he believes that suffering is an integral part of life, and Melanie's ability to overcome this hurdle is a valuable lesson for her.
There may be some regrets, but it's not to the point of being this upset.
But he understands that as parents, they want to give their child the best.
Therefore, they did try to calm Mr. and Mrs. Wilson down.
Seeing that the time was right, the Undead reached out and pulled an envelope from his armor.
"This is a letter."
The Undead placed the envelope on the table and pushed it toward Mr. Wilson in front of him.
“I will be leaving Victoria soon. I hope you can help me send this out.”
Mr. Wilson took the letter from the Undead and promised to deliver it properly.
The two sides chatted for a while longer before the Undying Man said he had other things to do and needed to leave early.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson understood and escorted the immortal to the door.
After watching the undead in their greyish-white armor leave, Mr. Wilson seemed to finally let go of something and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is this our daughter's teacher?"
Mr. Wilson naturally had his own sources of information, and he already knew the identity of the Undead.
"I never expected that the famous War Knight would be Xiao Mei's teacher."
Mrs. Wilson nodded and turned to look at her husband.
"This is Xiao Mei's good fortune, and it also shows that Xiao Mei is very lucky."
Mr. Wilson nodded and took his wife's hand.
Their lives changed dramatically after that riot.
Melantha left her parents to seek treatment for her Oripathy.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson also became very haggard, but in order to provide more support for their daughter, they continued their careers.
No matter what, life goes on.
Everyone has their own path, and so do they.
122. Target: Dragon Gate!
Time passed slowly, and another week later, the whole situation finally began to stabilize.
Vina runs around the Upper City District, Lower City District, and areas where infected people congregate every day.
While gathering the remaining information, they also dealt with the aftermath of the dragon hunt.
The members of the upper-level council are still arguing every day about the new bill that is about to be introduced. But the public is not reacting very strongly to the threat of infected people.
Firstly, there was the rise of the Aslan royal faction, and secondly, the dragon hunt did not actually cause any major casualties.
The main issue is that the infected people need to be reassured, as most ordinary people have no idea about dragon hunting.
Although some videos from that night were also available on social media, the fact that it ended so quickly led many to believe it was photoshopped or a publicity stunt.
During this period, the Undying Man ran towards the Heavenly Fire almost every day.
They stay for at least half a day before going home, sometimes even later.
Because of this, Kroos started going to bed later and later.
The Undead even considered taking Kroos with them.
But then I realized that Skyfire was mostly conducting experiments or practicing spells. So I gave up on the idea of bringing Kroos there.
It would be terrible if Kroos suddenly became interested in books.
Tianhuo will go crazy.
However, there is a reason why the Undead run towards the Heavenly Fire every day.
Spellcasting is not a safe power system to begin with, and learning it is fraught with danger. If it weren't for Tianhuo's own expertise in fire, the process would have been even more difficult.
At least on the first day, when Tianhuo was studying flames on her own, she almost burned off all her hair.
It should be noted that this flame is completely different from the flames that Tianhuo had studied before; their properties are worlds apart.
Therefore, in Skyfire's original Originium Arts, the ability to protect oneself didn't actually play much of a role.
Tianhuo touched the tuft of hair that had been burned off a third of its length, his face contorted with heartache.
However, the Undead did not offer any words of comfort, because this was Skyfire's own problem.
If she hadn't been so greedy and reckless, trying to expand the size of the fireball to the size of a large fireball before the fireball had been thoroughly studied and stabilized, this accident wouldn't have happened.
Sometimes, the undead will demonstrate other uses of the spell.
For example, consuming magical flames can stimulate the body's potential with the energy of the flames, but it will deplete life energy.
Spells (Inner Potential)
Alternatively, one can consume fire in a short period of time to cause the skin to secrete a large amount of oil and sweat, thereby increasing resistance to fire and other spells.
Spell (excessive sweating)
Of course, there are also techniques devised by the undead themselves, such as individual limb enhancement, which can temporarily boost the abilities of a specific part of the body. Although there are certain side effects, it is a simplified version of the spell "Inner Potential," and the side effects are reduced.
Tianhuo was completely mesmerized; she had never imagined that flames could have such an effect besides being emitted outwards.
But the Undead warned her never to attempt such a spell without his permission.
Even the most intense sweating should not be used, because flames themselves possess life.
It and humans have two different life essences. If they are easily combined without sufficient research experience, it will cause irreversible damage to the body.
Tianhuo nodded with some disappointment, while increasing his vigilance against curses.
Overall, seven days didn't allow Tianhuo to learn many spells, but it definitely laid an excellent foundation for him.
As the inheritor of the flame from the previous generation, the Undead possesses unparalleled insights into the use of fire. In particular, the flame he bestowed upon Heavenly Fire is the most unique, possessing the properties of Primordial Flame.
In addition, Tianhuo already has an understanding of fire, so there is no need for the Undead to teach him many things at length.
Just point out the key points, and Tianhuo will suddenly realize it and then have many new ideas.
It must be said, Skyfire is indeed a scholar. In terms of passion for magic, even the Undead would concede defeat.
But eventually, there will be a time for separation.
On his last day, as the Undead was preparing to leave, he looked at Tianhuo, who was still diligently practicing and stabilizing the blast radius of her fireballs, and said to her.
"I won't be coming tomorrow."
"Is something wrong? Okay, then come back in a couple of days!"
Tianhuo was unaware of the seriousness of the situation; her eyes were fixed only on the fireball in front of her.
