Ark Undead

While Skadi and Ace were talking, the Undead and Kroos sat quietly to the side.

The two of them perfectly embodied the word "well-behaved".

The Undead watched Skadi and Ace talk without saying a word.

Kroos sat upright, staring at the kitchen, without saying a word.

The two only ended their initial conversation after Skadi explained the general situation to Ace.

Just then, the food arrived.

Everyone was starving, and Kroos picked up the spoon in front of him and began to eat the food.

But there was one exception.

The Undead didn't order any food; he just sat there watching everyone eat.

Halfway through her meal, Huang sensed the gaze of the Undead and couldn't help but look up.

When Huang saw that there was no food in front of the Undead, he asked.

"Mr. Undying? Don't you eat?"

"I don't need to eat."

The immortal shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Ace couldn't help but look at Skadi with a questioning gaze.

Skadi shrugged at him, indicating that she didn't know why either.

The immortal continued.

"You, the leaders of Rhodes Island, are you, the First Men?"

"Huh? Why would there be such a question?"

Now that the immortals had spoken, Huang put down his spoon for the time being and began to communicate with them.

She also had a strong interest in this knight.

"Because, the boss of Penguin Logistics is a penguin."

Huang had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the immortal continued.

"So, you, the boss of Rhodes Island, are you... mules?"

Ace couldn't help but spit out his drink. Luckily, he managed to control himself, otherwise the scene would have been extremely chaotic.

Even Huang's expression turned strange, and she couldn't help but glance at Amiya beside her.

Amiya remained quite calm, but the blush rising on her cheeks revealed a hint of annoyance.

After all, anyone would be a little angry if they were called a mule.

This knight's thinking is truly unconventional.

Ace composed himself, swallowed the food in his mouth, and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

Suppressing his laughter, Ace gestured to the Undead and introduced them.

"This is Amiya, the leader of Rhodes Island."

The immortal then looked at the child beside him.

There was a hint of surprise in his voice.

"child?"

Amiya raised her eyes and met the gaze of the undead, showing no fear whatsoever.

But her tightly clenched fists betrayed a hint of fear in her heart.

"Yes."

Ace nodded, not denying it, and began to explain.

"Amiya is the successor to the previous leader. Although she is not yet in charge of all the work of Rhodes Island, she is already learning. We are also trying our best to help her."

I see, the successor.

The Undead nodded. Ace meant that Amiya didn't yet have complete control over Rhodes Island, but was already learning the relevant knowledge and experience as its successor.

This is understandable, since in Lothric, one of the two princes' successors, as crown prince, had been involved in related matters for a long time.

As long as she isn't deprived of her rights as a child and all the pressure isn't placed on her head, then it's alright.

But this world is so familiar.

Even children are burdened with the responsibility of preparing for future battles, unable to see a bright tomorrow.

"So, Amiya is not a mule."

Ace said those words seriously, and then he couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, to be honest, I didn't know Mr. War Knight had such a sense of humor."

The immortal remained silent.

He wasn't joking; he genuinely believed it.

So the Undead turned around and bowed slightly to Amiya.

"Feel sorry."

Amiya hadn't expected the Undead to apologize to her, and she waved her hand in a flustered manner.

"Ah! No! Sir Knight, you don't need to apologize to me!"

The Undead shook his head, offering little explanation. He had made a mistake and created a laughingstock, which was to be expected.

Now that the conversation had started, the Undead decided to ask them about Rhodes Island.

The three of them answered every question about the immortality of people.

If such combat power could be won over to one's own camp, that would certainly be the best thing.

Even if it doesn't work out, building a good relationship could lead to a hiring opportunity, which would be great.

Moreover, Ace had also noticed some signs.

The Undead seems to have a good relationship with the girl named Ceobe. He's asking about Rhodes Island, probably because he wants to send her there for treatment. That's why he's so interested.

Therefore, Ace provided a rather detailed account of the Rhodes Island medical department during her explanation.

From the three men's descriptions, the Undead were able to glean a general idea of ​​what Rhodes Island looked like.

Unlike what others had told him, the structure of Rhodes Island was quite different from what the undead had imagined.

In fact, Rhodes Island was initially an organization that only sought to gain more benefits for the infected on Terra.

However, the very real problem is that Rhodes Island is not strong enough, and most of its people are blind and impatient.

When Rhode Island attempted to bridge the gap between healthy people and those infected, and create a new environment, it naturally encountered obstacles.

People are unwilling to give infected individuals enough time to prove their harmlessness, instead refusing to associate with them and trying to distance themselves from any infected individuals.

Of course, no one can be blamed for this, since the infected person is themselves a source of infection, which is an indisputable fact.

However, most people exaggerate the ways in which the infection occurs. Consequently, fewer and fewer people are willing to face the immense risks to help those infected.

It was precisely because of this premise that Rhodes Island, after acquiring several knowledgeable Originium scholars, immediately began researching the first generation of blocking drugs.

Later, relying on the field of medicine and pharmaceuticals, they began to contact several major countries and establish trade relations with those large chambers of commerce.

By utilizing their existing technology and manpower, they gradually expanded themselves, turning themselves into their own sword and shield.

Rhodes Island sometimes intervenes in small-scale conflicts in certain areas. While pursuing its own interests, it also helps the Infected to the best of its ability.

Rhodes Island has now become a place where normal people and infected people coexist peacefully.

Those who come here may all have their own purposes. But under the leadership of Rhodes Island's higher-ups, at least their power is being used in the right direction.

However, Ace made no mention of Rhodes Island's most basic components or their origins.

Of course, the Undead also understood that they were just strangers who had met by chance, and that Ace and Huang were willing to tell him so much, which already showed them great sincerity.

At the same time, he could also see that Ace and Blaze seemed to be trying to persuade the Undead to join Rhodes Island through this argument.

But the Undead clearly had his own plans.

He won't blindly join any organization just because he believes one person's words, until he fully understands Rhodes Island's goals.

After all, he had heard that there was also an organization in Ursus that claimed to fight for the infected.

They have now become a complete terrorist organization, and even Victoria has heard of their infamous reputation.

The immortal ignored Ace and Huang's invitation, but he still thanked them.

And he brought up the matter of Kroos.

"This child has Oripathy, and it's very serious."

The Undead patted Ceobe's head.

Although his tone was still cold and emotionless, everyone could hear the concern in his words.

"I think, at the very least, I should help her stabilize."

Ace and Huang glanced at Kroos, who was still engrossed in eating, and ignored the several plates piled up next to him.

Indeed, granular Originium crystals could be seen on the surface of her skin.

The appearance of Originium crystals on the skin indicates that the condition is not optimistic.

“I understand. When we return to Rhodes Island, you can come with us. Let Miss Ceobe have a medical check-up at the medical department so we can find out her general condition.”

Ace quickly added.

"Don't worry, the medical check-up is not expensive. You only need to pay for the basic equipment usage and costs."

"I don't care about money."

The immortal nodded.

"As long as it works, everything is fine."
