Ark Undead

Before he could finish speaking, Su Suluo bristled and jumped several meters away.

"Wow! A ghost!"

"..."

The immortal was stunned for a moment, and his outstretched hand stopped in mid-air.

The child was only slightly taller than his waist, and looked even taller and more robust after putting on the armor.

Therefore, Susuluo couldn't tell whether it was a person or not at all.

The immortal had just walked over when he bumped into Susuluo.

"No, Mr. Undying?!"

After calming down, Susuluo finally recognized who it was.

"What brings you to the medical department?"

She breathed a sigh of relief, genuinely believing that a ghost had possessed the armor, forgetting that Rhodes Island now had an operator who liked to wander around in armor.

"Amiya, tell me, Nearl, do you want to talk to me?"

"Miss Lin Guang?"

Susuru suddenly realized why the undead had come.

Although Nearl is a Defender operator, since the other two operators in her team are both affiliated with the Medical Department, everyone almost universally assumes that Nearl is also a member of the Medical Department.

After all, the Originium Arts of the Nearl family are based on light and can also be used for healing, so it's not unreasonable to call them medical personnel.

"If you're looking for Ms. Rinko, she's currently in the examination room next to the medical department's office."

Susuluo pointed her delicate finger into the corridor.

"Um... thank you,"

The immortal looked inside.

Coincidentally, his gaze met that of another person.

Shining, standing at the door of the examination room, looked at the operator who had just joined Rhodes Island.

She had heard that War Knights never died. After all, her companion was a titled Knight, and the eldest daughter of the Nearl family.

But things gradually went beyond Shining's expectations.

Upon seeing Shining, the Undead paused for a moment, then abandoned Sussurro and quickly approached Shining.

Shining overheard the conversation between the Undead and Sussurro and assumed he was going in to find Nearl, but he didn't expect him to stop in front of her.

So she took a proper look at the immortal.

Just as she was about to ask the immortal why he was looking at her, she heard his words.

In an instant, his pupils contracted.

"Goddess of Sin, believer?"

The Undead stared at Shining's black robes; the image looked all too familiar.

"You are... an instructor?"

153. The Caged Nightingale

Belga, the goddess of sin, was a very mysterious deity during the Age of Fire.

During the journey of the immortals, Belga appeared in people's sight in many forms.

The two most common interpretations are probably the same.

One theory is that the goddess of sin, Belga, is in charge of the sins people bear, and that worshipping the goddess of sin can cleanse one of their sins.

Therefore, Belga's followers usually appear before the congregation in a black robe and a mask representing Belga.

They call themselves teachers and tell believers that by following their teachings, they can cleanse themselves of sins and defilement.

Interestingly, the second theory suggests that another deity, Quart, the tear goddess associated with death, is another identity of this goddess of sin, Belga.

These two deities left an extremely strong mark on the Age of Fire, and the Undead encountered information related to these two goddesses many times during their journey.

Therefore, his belief that this woman was related to the goddess of sin was not just a random statement, but a conclusion drawn from his intuition and experience.

In the life of the immortal, intuition has saved him many times. Besides the weapon in his hand, the thing he trusts most is his own intuition.

Of course, Shining's reaction was also quite interesting; her pupils suddenly contracted, and her right hand gripping the staff tightened sharply. But after realizing that the undead had only asked a simple question, Shining relaxed slightly and looked away.

"Goddess of Sin, that's a familiar title. I wonder where you heard of this name?"

The Undead man took another look at the appearance of the medical department operative in front of him and asked.

Where's your mask?

"You know a lot, but don't you think it's wrong to pry into other people's secrets?"

This left the undead somewhat confused. What secret was the Goddess of Sin? Wasn't that common knowledge?

So he simply asked.

"Belga, no, many people know? What's so strange about it? Is it a secret?"

Shining couldn't help but take a step back, her hand gripping her staff, seemingly ready to strike.

Although she has left the organization, her faith still forbids anyone from calling the goddess by her full name.

But the imposing aura emanating from the man in front of her made Shining afraid to make a move.

Besides, this is Rhodes Island.

Seeing how nervous she was, the Undead immediately understood that it seemed that in this era, the worship of those ancient gods had become more restrained.

Names like the Goddess of Sin have become a little-known secret.

However, the Undead were more curious about how they knew the name.

You must understand, this is no longer the Age of Fire, so why is the worship of those gods seeing the light of day again here?

The Undead stepped back, giving Shining ample space, and extended his hand in a friendly manner.

"Not yet. Let me introduce myself. I'm not dead. I was just curious earlier, no offense intended."

Shining's tension eased slightly; she hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to accept the Undead's gesture of goodwill.

Just then, the person inside heard Susuluo's shouts from outside. A pair of hands reached out and opened the examination room door.

"Who just called out from outside?"

The head that peeked out had golden hair, and just seeing her reminded the Undead of someone else.

Maria.

That's right, this is Maria's sister, Margaret Nearl.

"Miss Lin Guang! It's me!"

Sussuro returned to the door and apologized to Linguang.

"I'm sorry, I didn't recognize Mr. Undead just now, so I was a little surprised."

"Mr. Undying?"

Margaret turned her gaze to the armor beside her, a curious expression on her face.

The Undead turned around, temporarily abandoning his communication with the Shining, and looked at Margaret.

"I've heard of your great name for a long time. I was able to see my younger sister on TV before, all thanks to Mr. Undying."

Margaret treats the undead very well, largely because of Maria.

“Maria is very talented. She is also willing to take on some responsibilities.”

The Undead had a good impression of Maria; this disciple had her own goals and was very resilient.

During training, he never complained about the hardship or fatigue.

It's important to know that Maria's training is quite different from Melantha's. As a future sword and shield knight, taking beatings is a required course.

Maria has been hit by countless iron rods by the Undead, and it is truly remarkable that she has been able to endure it.

"Let's come inside first; it's not appropriate to talk standing at the door."

Lin Guang stepped aside and invited the Undead into the room for a chat.

The Undead glanced back at Shining and said.

"Go in."

Shining didn't say anything, and followed the Undead into the examination room.

Susuluo didn't go in. After greeting everyone again, she left the examination room.

She has other patients to examine, so she can't waste time.

Squeak...

After the door was closed, Margaret invited the Undead to sit down on the sofa, and the two sat together and chatted.

Shining then walked over, pushed Miss Nightingale's wheelchair aside, and talked to her for a while.

Margaret glanced at Nightingale beside her again, then went over and poured two cups of hot water, placing one in front of the Undead.

The Undead then began to scrutinize Margaret.

They are clearly Kazimierz people, and in their daily lives they wear armor that represents their knighthood.

Unlike the immortals, Margaret's armor is made with modern technology, and she is not wearing a mask yet. Her long golden hair is tied into a ponytail and flows behind her head.

While possessing a dashing and heroic air, Margaret's calm and composed personality also adds to her charm.

As expected of the Radiant Knight of Kazimierz, her aura is undeniable from the very first meeting.

"When I heard you came to the island yesterday, I immediately contacted Amiya to see when you would be free so she could convey my wishes."

Margaret sat back on the sofa. Her good upbringing allowed her to look into the immortal's eyes without any particular sense of oppression. Margaret's first words were to express her gratitude.

"It was only later that I learned that Maria had become your disciple. I was quite surprised when I found out. Maria, such a willful child, would actually start taking courses related to knights."
