Ark Undead

Listening to them talking, Kroos, who was engrossed in his meal, looked up and tilted his head.

Medical examination?

what is that?

144. Let's go! Rhodes Island!

Ace came to purchase a lot of things, and the cards they carried could also get them some discounts from the merchants.

This includes frozen food, essential building material reserves, many industrial parts, and even some special raw materials needed to manufacture items.

Of course, it's not that Rhodes Island can't produce it, but when manufacturing can't keep up with the rate of consumption, it naturally needs to import from outside to ensure its own supply.

The Undead has been following Ace these past few days, and has been listening to Ace talk to him about the current state of Rhodes Island.

Going back to that meal, Ace's hand trembled slightly as she held the card to pay the bill. But she still swiped the card on the machine, took the receipt from the restaurant, and carefully put it away, afraid that she wouldn't be able to find it if she was too late.

This is important! If it can't be reimbursed, Ace won't have the money to buy those music records she likes anymore!

Skadi stood to the side, wanting to laugh but not daring to. She knew Ace would have that expression. After all, she and Inspector Hoshiguma were the ones who suffered last time.

Even Amiya showed a hint of fear on her face after hearing the number.

This isn't the bill for six people; it's clearly the bill for more than a dozen people!

Even so, Kroos simply rubbed his stomach and pursed his lips, feeling just right, neither hungry nor full.

Huang was quite interested in Kroos. He went to Kroos's side, rubbed her big ears, and touched her little belly.

It wasn't long before I fell in love with this somewhat goofy blonde girl.

The Undead didn't interfere in these matters, and Kroos had to learn to make friends on his own, which was a good opportunity.

However, Ace never mentioned eating together again after that day; he must have some lingering trauma.

Huang whispered to the Undead that she had never seen Ace so aloof about anything before; Kroos was truly unique.

The Undead nodded, even looking at Ace with a hint of sympathy.

Sometimes, Ace would also be concerned about the Undead's income. He was curious about what kind of income it would take to support a girl like that. Especially after they learned that Kroos had followed the Undead all the way to Lungmen.

At that time, the immortal only uttered two words.

bonus.

Ace remained silent for a moment, said nothing, greeted the undead, and left.

Unexpectedly, Huang came over the next day to ask about the Undying Man.

"What did you talk to Ace about yesterday? Why did he suddenly say last night that he wanted to go to Kazimierz to play as a Cavalier? Is being a Cavalier in Kazimierz really that interesting?"

The Undead didn't know how to answer Huang's question. He couldn't very well say that Ace wanted to make money, could he?

However, even the Undead could see that Ace was just joking. This man, who seemed generous and easygoing, had a firm bottom line when it came to matters concerning Rhodes Island.

During the purchase of goods, Ace also demonstrated her strong business acumen, using persuasive language and various benefit analyses to save Rhodes Island a significant portion of its funds for purchasing supplies.

Amiya, as the successor leader, also provides Ace with all sorts of data she has recorded, working in tandem with Ace to keep the immortals completely bewildered.

On the contrary, Blaze really had nothing to do. She was either chatting with the Undead, playing with Ceobe, buying her snacks, and occasionally exchanging tips on using large weapons with Skadi.

According to her, Ace is a heavy-armored operator, but she also has unique experience in paperwork.

It can be said that Ace is the backbone of Rhodes Island, and at the same time, she bears the responsibility of nurturing Amiya.

Over the past three days, Ace has been the most exhausted. But he never uttered a word of discouragement, and he handled one small matter after another with his spirited tone and strong arms.

The Undead is looking forward to the day when he will have the chance to fight Ace and see the man's limits.

Soldiers who can handle even the smallest daily tasks will not miss any fleeting opportunities on the battlefield.

Another person who impressed the Undead was Amiya.

This underage child always displays unexpected resilience when discussing matters related to Rhodes Island.

One time, Ace was counting packages in the warehouse when Amiya came out to get some water and rest for a bit.

While the Undead was chatting with her, the two discussed the future development direction of Rhodes Island.

The Undead believe that Rhodes Island's current power is probably insufficient to intervene in national conflicts. If they truly want to develop, they should first handle their own affairs before worrying about others.

But Amiya's words left a lasting impression on the undead.

"I don't believe Rhodes Island can stand idly by. We are made up of many people. If we want Rhodes Island to develop better, we can't just stand by and watch; we have to at least try to see if we can succeed. Our efforts today are so that we can all laugh together in the future, and I believe that's for sure!"

As the Undead watched in silence as Amiya finished drinking the water and went back to help, he sighed.

If people back then had such thoughts, he wouldn't have had to face such malice all alone.

No, if that's the case, then perhaps the Age of Fire hasn't ended yet.

But what the Undead know now is only the outer shell of Rhodes Island.

These three days together deepened Rhodes Island's impression of the Undead and also made him reconsider his own ideas a little.

If Rhodes Island truly possesses sufficient strength, he wouldn't mind serving as a collaborator with them and providing assistance to the best of his ability.

After all, this is a mutually beneficial matter. Compared to people with unclear backgrounds, the Undead prefer to cooperate with people they know well and who are cleaner.

The three days passed quickly.

After the last box was sorted out of the warehouse, Ace wiped the sweat from his forehead and beckoned Amiya over to sign the contract.

"Thank you for your hard work. Now all we have to do is wait for Instructor Dubin to come and help us move the goods tomorrow."

Huang came over with two bottles of water and handed them to Ace and Amiya.

After waving goodbye to the merchant, the two took the water bottle from Huang and said thank you.

Then they twisted open the bottle caps at the same time, and even their drinking rhythm was almost identical.

"what!"

Then, they both let out a comfortable sigh of relief.

"It's finally over."

After Amiya relaxed, she suddenly felt exhausted.

"These goods... thankfully Ace is here. Otherwise, handling them alone would be a huge problem, just communicating with the merchants!"

"There's no need to be so self-deprecating, Amiya. You've done a great job. Without your help, we probably wouldn't have had enough time in three days."

Ace chuckled and patted Amiya on the head, and Amiya giggled back.

Although Ace is a serious and somewhat aloof commander in battle, he has a very warm and kind side in his daily life, which is why everyone on Rhodes Island treats him with great respect.

Although the Undead couldn't do much, he occasionally went up to help Ace move things, which was a small favor.

"Thank you, Mr. War Knight. That's about it."

Ace arrived before the Undead. Three days passed, and the barriers between them had lessened considerably.

"The trucks carrying the goods will arrive tomorrow."

At this point, Ace patted Amiya on the shoulder, indicating that the little bunny should take the lead!

Amiya's ears, perched on her head, twitched. She took a deep breath and stepped forward.

"Mr. Undead! If it's possible, as the leader of Rhodes Island, I would like to invite you to accompany me to Rhodes Island for a visit and learning experience!"

puff!

Huang couldn't help but chuckle. No matter how you looked at it, Amiya's serious expression was just so adorable.

Hearing Huang's laughter, Amiya blushed slightly. But she still refused to lower her head, staring intently at the undead before her.

Skadi smiled warmly at the sight.

Since Sherag encountered the Undead, her personality has changed a lot, largely because the Undead helped her temporarily escape the harassment from her homeland.

The Undead looked at Ace beside him and asked deliberately.

"You taught him?"

"No, she should have been the one to extend the invitation to you. After all, Amiya is nominally the highest leader of Rhodes Island."

Ace shook his head. It was his request, but he hadn't taught Amiya how to speak.

This is Amiya's training, and it's precisely because of the role of the Undead that it's appropriate for Amiya to step forward and discuss these matters.

Because of Ceobe, the Undead will definitely go to Rhodes Island, and Amiya's identity is consistent with the Undead's strength.

Regardless of whether the undead care about such etiquette, it is a detail that the inviter needs to pay attention to.

"Ok."

The Undead turned his gaze back to Amiya in front of him, looking down at the little rabbit.

"Thank you very much for your invitation. I accept."

Amiya breathed a sigh of relief, then opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say next.

He's still just a child.

The Undead thought to himself as he extended his right hand to Amiya.

"Please take good care of me."

Amiya reacted quickly, extending her right hand to lightly shake hands with the undead.

"You are one too! Sir Knight!"

...

After reaching an agreement, the group agreed that Ace would pick up the Undead the next day.

Skadi also needed to go back to report on her mission and check on her friends, so she could go with them.

That night, the Undead packed his things and made sure Kroos took a good bath, especially washing his hair.

For the first time, Kroos was dealing with her not-so-smooth hair.

With a long period of travel, it's impossible to expect your hair to grow really well. You can only try your best to wash away the dirt and make your hair smoother.

But that's enough. After all, you're going to ask someone for treatment, so leaving a good impression is always a good thing.
