Ark Undead

"She's a blacksmith sister! She helped Kroos clean up her friend's mess, then gave Kroos a honey cake!"

She was probably a craftsman on Rhodes Island responsible for equipment manufacturing and repair. Because when Ceobe refers to a good friend, she usually means the long spears and axes she always carries on her back.

However, during her time on Rhodes Island, Ceobe basically stopped sleeping with her weapon in her arms.

This place gave her a strong sense of security.

Clean food and hot water, and people who wouldn't take her things.

It's a pity that the non-dead have to go on a mission, otherwise, lighting a campfire and sleeping by it would be the perfect day.

Awoo!

Choosing the right spot, Kroos bit into the undead's arm armor, leaving several shallow teeth marks on the gauntlet.

Looking at Kroos's appearance, the Undead sighed. He simply took off his gauntlet, threw it at Kroos, and let her play with it on her own.

Soon, under the cover of night, Kroos leaned against the campfire and let out a satisfied snoring.

She closed her eyes and fell asleep beside the Undead's legs.

He was also holding a gauntlet covered in saliva.

The undead took a piece of firewood from behind, gently broke it in two, and threw it into the campfire in front of him.

This familiar feeling...

Even the immortal narrowed his eyes slightly.

Comfortable.

195. Distinguished guests arrive

"When I went out this time, I had a few conversations with that immortal man and happened to see some strange things."

Nearl took the hot water that Shining handed her and nodded to Shining.

"Thank you."

Tell me about it.

Shining herself brought a cup of hot water and sat down next to Nearl. She had just watched Nightingale fall asleep peacefully and wanted to chat with Nearl.

Lin Guang took a sip of water, wiping the sweet juice from his mouth, and then spoke.

"Mr. Undead seems to know that doctor. And you should have heard about the doctor's current situation, right?"

"When you returned, Dr. Kal'tsit had already gathered all the medical staff together to discuss strategies for dealing with amnesia symptoms."

As Shining spoke, she crossed her legs, which were hidden under her black robe, and placed the hot water cup in her hands on her thighs.

"The doctor's situation is complicated, according to the clues provided by Dr. Kal'tsit. There is no obvious damage to the doctor's brain, and it's not just a simple cognitive trauma related to the event. He has almost forgotten everything about himself, even how to cook and use a knife and fork."

"But surprisingly, he still retains a considerable amount of awareness of the profession he used to be proficient in. Simply put, he's like a machine that only knows how to do things, without emotions or memories, only knowing what he can do and being able to do it well."

Upon hearing this, Lin Guang frowned.

But the doctor's tone towards the undead was completely different; when the two of them communicated, it was as if they were very familiar with each other.

Hmm... perhaps Mr. Undead is still a bit lacking. But the Doctor's level of trust in Mr. Undead is really a bit excessive.

"When we woke the Doctor, he was already like this. He had forgotten Amiya and Mr. Ace. But he was able to call out the title 'Mr. Undead' with great shock and some other meaning that I can't quite put my finger on."

Lin Guang tried to recall, but ultimately shook his head.

"No, I can't sense it, but I do know another name for this war knight."

"Tell me about it, maybe I remember it too."

Shining said this, and Nearl looked at Shining in surprise.

Shining waved her hand and said.

“That person was very familiar with my former identity. He could tell my faith and identity just by looking at me and my physical characteristics. This shows that he was very familiar with the Absolutioner.”

As she spoke, Flash paused, recalling the undead's somewhat rude manner when they first met.

"Moreover, he addressed the Mother Goddess by her full name in front of me, which naturally made me very angry. But judging from his tone and the way he addressed her, to be honest, I'm a little worried..."

"pagan?"

Lin Guang frowned.

Will there be any conflict between us?

"It's not a problem with heretics. Do you remember what Nightingale said about her feelings when she first awoke after receiving the treatment from the undead?"

Shining looked at Nearl and said.

"Light, or rather, flame."

Is there anything strange about that?

Lin Guang asked, puzzled.

“His Originium Arts are indeed related to fire. We have seen him use Originium Arts that are similar to fire and lightning more than once. Everyone has some little secrets, and there are precedents of multiple Originium Arts.”

"But to be able to materialize the image of flames in the spiritual world is not something that can be easily achieved with Originium Arts, Nearl."

Shining took a sip of hot water; the warm liquid slid down her throat, dispelling some of the chill in her body.

"Tell me first, how does the Doctor refer to the Undead?"

"Hmm... Lord Ashes."

Lin Guang recalled for a moment, and then she said.

"This title only appeared once, but when the Doctor first fell into a coma, he clearly recognized the Undead. Moreover, when he communicated with the Undead for the second time, he used this title, and the Undead immediately responded to his call. He must have been calling him."

"ash?"

Shining blinked; indeed, she did have some recollection of that title.

"Hmm... I need to go back and check the literature. I do vaguely remember this name, and it should be quite important..."

Lin Guang nodded. After finishing her business, she placed the blanket in her hand on the table in front of her and leaned back on the sofa.

He closed his eyes before even taking off his armor.

"Any missions tomorrow?"

When Shining saw Nearl's appearance, she immediately knew that Nearl probably didn't plan to go back to her room to rest tonight.

"Ah."

Lin Guang responded softly and said.

"In a few hours, I'll be going to Longmen with Instructor Doberman. I don't know exactly where we're going yet, but we'll be staying there for a while."

"Be careful and don't push yourself."

Shining stood up, came behind Nearl, reached out and placed her hand on her head, gently massaging her temples.

"By the way, when are you planning to go back to Kazimir?"

"Maybe in another year or two... I'm not ready to go back yet."

Lin Guang murmured to himself, but his voice soon faded away.

Shining chuckled softly, looking down at Nearl's sleeping face.

He clearly misses his younger sister terribly, but he stubbornly refuses to go back to her. His personality really hasn't changed at all.

But Shining can understand it too.

Nearl's ideal is not simply to change the status quo of Kazimierz.

The longer one stays away from home, the more one realizes just how deeply entrenched the situation is within Kasimir.

The existence of the Business Alliance and the Knights' Association is not a coincidence that happened overnight, but rather an inevitable trend in national development.

If Linguang wants to change people's perceptions in such a context, it has a long way to go.

However, during his time on Rhodes Island, Nearl had many new thoughts.

Especially after the Undead took the title of Title Knight and suddenly became incredibly popular, the implications of this served as a significant reminder to Nearl.

Perhaps she is not the only one walking this path that spreads light behind her.

Many more people have longed for such a person to appear.

Just like the infected people now.

The next morning, Lin Guang met up with Instructor Dubin in the garage.

Kal'tsit arrived at the border early, explained the details and requirements of the mission to the two women, and then saw them off to their car and away from Rhodes Island.

Getting up this early has become a habit for Kal'tsit; the thick dark circles under her eyes show that she has long been accustomed to staying up late.

Of course, it could also be due to kidney deficiency.

"Where are the Doctor and Amiya?"

Kal'tsit watched the two leave the garage, then turned to the operator behind her and asked.

"The Doctor is up and in his room. Amiya is still resting."

"Ah."

Kal'tsit nodded and walked toward the elevator.

The operative was still making his work record for the day. He looked at the form in his hand and asked a question.

Should we wake Amiya?

"No need, let her rest a little longer, consider it a vacation..."

Just as Kal'tsit was preparing to make the next arrangement, the communicator hanging on her waist lit up.

Kal'tsit picked up the communicator and took the call.

"Hello? It's me, Kal'tsit."

"Ursus?"

"Okay, I understand. Don't be nervous, arrange for them to come up from the garage in a bit, and try not to let too many operators see them."
