Ark Undead

"Immortal."

The down-on-his-luck knight revealed his code name and identity.

Koss looked miserable.

"Haha... You've already decided on the title so quickly? Then could you please tell me your real name as well, sir? We might need it to create your profile."

"forget."

The Undead Man spoke in a deep voice, precisely conveying his meaning with two words.

Fran ate a milk candy next to him and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Koss turned and glared at Fran, who then calmed down a bit.

Kos was truly at his wit's end; this knight's temper was anything but ordinary. While a knight's surname and given name did indeed represent a knight's honor, was it really necessary to refuse to even mention them?

But the immortal man hadn't lied to him.

The immortals have truly forgotten.

He had forgotten when he last spoke his name.

However, he vaguely remembered that someone had said they wanted to name a painting after him.

He stood next to that person for two days before he could barely figure it out.

So much time has passed, I can't remember it at all.

I really can't remember!

But Koss didn't know that he was still thinking about how to get the knight to reveal his real name.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Koss felt relieved.

If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. These mysterious knights are quite popular in the markets of Kazimierz.

After all, there are always girls in Kazimierz who dream of being saved by an unknown knight.

There are even quite a few books that describe these nameless knights and Kazimierz girls.

Koss also had some knowledge of these markets. If this self-proclaimed immortal knight became famous, their company might even hire someone to write a couple of books about him.

The title of "Mysterious Knight" is better than being called "Square Head" or "Round Head," no matter what!

The vehicle slowed down after entering the city.

As the speed decreased, Fran's round head turned from the passenger seat, and his body also laboriously turned in one direction.

A chubby hand reached out to the undead, with a few candies on it.

"Sir, have some candy."

The Undead looked at the candy in Fran's hand, and then looked up at Fran.

"Need not."

Fran reluctantly withdrew his hand and turned back. Kos, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but chuckle softly when he saw Fran's attempt to curry favor with the undead.

Giving candy to a knight? Honestly, only Fran would do something so silly.

Fran didn't think there was anything wrong with it; he simply wanted to build a good relationship with this knight, someone he might work with in the future.

It was at this moment that the immortal suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

"When is the match?"

Koss was still laughing, almost choking himself, before he composed himself.

"Ahem... Mr. Undying, please don't rush. Before you officially participate in the battle, you must first pass the company's test. Of course, this test won't be too difficult; it's just an assessment of your strength."

Koston paused for a moment, then continued speaking.

"After the test, we will arrange accommodation for you. Then you just need to wait for the notification of the match time at your accommodation. We will not interfere with what you do in the meantime."

The Undead looked at Kos in front of him.

Koss felt a gaze on his back, and his neck instinctively felt a chill.

"How will the compensation be calculated?"

"As for the reward... well, that depends on whether you pass the test. The level of reward will be determined based on the test results."

Koss, fearing the undead would get angry, quickly added another sentence.

"However! A knight as powerful as you will definitely get the highest level of compensation contract, receiving 70% of the rewards from participating in the competition, and there will be someone specifically responsible for your equipment maintenance and daily training."

The Undead were clearly dissatisfied with this answer.

He uttered two words with emphasis.

"Firewood."

"Haha, as long as you can pass the test, you can have as much firewood as you want after just one game."

Koss clearly hadn't expected that this powerful knight was still thinking about firewood.

"Forget firewood, you'll have status, money, and honor. Just win the competition, and you'll have everything!"

The immortal nodded.

He doesn't really care about anything else.

Having firewood and money to upgrade equipment is enough.

The vehicle stopped in front of a building. Fran got out first, opened the car door for the Undead, and then asked the Undead to get out.

After Koss parked the car, he rushed back and led the Undead and Fran into the building.

"please."

The Undead followed Kos through a large glass door into a spacious hall.

Koss led the undead to the elevator while introducing him to the creature.

"This is the Chengjin Group, where Fran and I work. We mainly undertake Cavaliers training and competition organization."

Standing at the elevator door, Kos pressed the down button.

"Besides training our own knights, we also welcome powerful knights to join us. They will represent the company in the competitions held in each district of Kazimierz, and as long as they win the competition, they will receive substantial training from the company."

The elevator doors opened in front of the immortal.

He recognized it! It was an elevator that allowed you to go up and down by guessing the bumps on the ground.

But once inside, there was no protrusion on the ground; instead, Kos pressed the button for the third basement level.

"So, just like we told you, as long as you are strong enough, you can get everything you want in Kazimierz."

Just as Kos finished speaking, the elevator arrived at the third basement level.

As soon as it was turned on, the Undead heard the clash of steel and the shouts of battle.

The second basement level is the combat zone, where the undead will soon participate in the test.

"Hey, Kos's here? Where are Square Head and Round Head? I haven't seen that guy for the past few days."

When Kos came down, people nearby who knew him greeted him.

"I don't know, they've probably gotten into some trouble again. Anyway, they're not important people, so whatever."

Koss responded by saying that his motto at the company was to get along well with everyone.

As the Undead came out, he immediately felt two pairs of eyes staring at him.

One gaze came from the one-way glass on the second basement level, and another came from Kos's side.

The Undead looked up, glanced at the direction of the second basement level, then looked down again, looking towards Kos's direction.

Kos was talking to a tall, imposing knight who was holding his helmet in his right hand. His face was clean, and his armor was spotless.

He glanced at the undead from time to time, making no attempt to hide his interest in them.

“That’s the knight I found over there.” Kos glanced at the undead over there, who remained motionless. “He didn’t tell me his name, only his code name.”

“Strength is the foundation of arrogance.” The tall knight nodded to the undead, sending a provocative signal. “I’m curious to see what he can achieve.”

Koss, seeing that the man in front of him seemed completely unconcerned, couldn't help but warn him.

"Be careful, Markm. He's fast and agile; don't get stabbed by his sword."

"You've seen him?"

Markm turned his gaze back to Kos.

“I’ve seen it.” Kos nodded, speaking earnestly. “I almost died, but that sword strike was beautiful.”

Upon hearing this, Markm's expression finally calmed down a bit, and when he looked at the Undead again, all that remained was his soaring fighting spirit.

"I understand, I will be more careful."

After finishing his business with the other side, Koss returned to the Undead.

He said to the immortals.

"See that big guy over there?"

The immortal nodded.

"His name is Markm, and he's a mid-level knight here. He had the honor of sparring with that Radiant Knight in the previous knight competitions. Although it was only in the group stage, we still managed to exchange a couple of blows."

Koss had given the undead a heads-up.

"Moreover, after three years of training, he has grown compared to when he was first, so we mustn't let our guard down!"

Although that guy named Markm only managed to block the first feint attack from the Radiant Knight before being completely stunned by the second blow, he was still enough to hold the line and keep the undead on their guard.

Unfortunately, Kos did not expect that the Undead had no idea who the Radiant Knight was.

"Radiant Knight?"

"Immortal asked in confusion."

"Very famous?"

"..."

Koss no longer wanted to speak.
