Ark Undead

Unfortunately, she tended to take on most of the work herself. Therefore, some oversights were inevitable; after all, no one is perfect.

"Haha, it's just a pity that she has such a strong temper. Sometimes I think it would be so much better if she were a little gentler."

As the doctor chatted with the undead, he unconsciously relaxed, stretching out his legs and bracing himself against the floor with his hands.

"But sometimes I feel that if Kal'tsit were to become gentle, she wouldn't be like her anymore. She's fine as she is."

"Ah."

Listening to the doctor say these words, the Undead couldn't help but think of someone.

If she were still alive...

She'll probably be completely different from Kal'tsit.

That's just how she is. Even at the end of the world, she will gently tell the undead that their choice is her own. No matter what, she will always stand with the undead, even if the world perishes in their hands.

Seeing that the Undead was starting to kill the conversation again, the Doctor scratched his head and decided to change the subject.

"Speaking of which, after the Chernobog incident, did you go back to Lungmen?"

"not yet."

The Undead shook his head; he had no intention of returning to Dragon Gate for the time being.

Why not just rest by the campfire? Let's talk about leaving after Rhodes Island decides to leave Lungmen.

The Undead looked back at Kroos and Melantha again.

Melanie is doing quite well here, and Kroos has made some new friends.

“Wei Yanwu is asking us about you. He also asked us to tell you if we see you, because he wants to talk to you.”

The doctor turned his head and focused his gaze on the undead.

"I heard it's related to the Great Yan Dynasty, and Wei Yanwu will be leaving for a while."

"leave?"

The immortal asked, somewhat surprised.

"why?"

Wei Yanwu is the governor of Longmen. If he is not in Longmen, many things will go wrong.

Surely Wei Yanwu wouldn't hand over the Dragon Gate to the Rat King, would he?

"Do you remember those Imperial Guards you went to intercept before we went to the core city?"

The doctor brought this up again, he said.

“Originally, those few Imperial Guards came with the three Great Yan Inspectors. The Inspectors cannot show their power at any time. But they arranged for several Imperial Guards to accompany them, and their intentions are obvious.”

The doctor continued speaking.

"It seems there are some problems within the Great Yan. Recently, some of the Great Yan forces that have been communicating with us have kept their mouths shut and haven't released any information. This is very unusual. Considering that Longmen is the window of the Great Yan, the arrival of the inspector at Longmen at this time must also have an unusual relationship."

"Moreover, one of the inspectors protected several police officers when the Reunion Movement was active in Lungmen. This violated their rules, and I heard that this inspector was punished by the palace in Lungmen. Wei Yanwu is also having a headache about this matter. Although it was the inspector who violated the rules, he did save the police officers after all."

Although the doctor kept talking, he consciously kept his voice down so as not to disturb the two sleeping girls.

"Longmen is currently extremely busy, and Wei Yanwu is looking for you at this time, wanting to communicate with you. It must be something more than just a simple matter. I suspect it has something to do with the Great Yan."

The doctor looked at the immortal.

He vaguely remembered that Wei Yanwu's attitude towards the undead was different from his attitude towards Rhodes Island.

Although they maintained the Great Yan's usual polite attitude, the politeness towards the Undead was clearly more respectful.

Could it be because of his identity as the Great Yan Divine General?

After consulting some historical records, the doctor also learned some of the deeds of the Great Yan God General.

Although the Doctor had previously regarded these legends as fictional stories to varying degrees, as the abilities of the immortals gradually became apparent to him, he began to re-examine his mindset during this period.

Perhaps those legends are based on real events?

"The Great Yan Dynasty..."

The immortals are thinking.

During the battle with the black serpent, he heard the name Theresis.

According to the Undead's plan before entering the core city, he would indeed go to the Great Yan.

However, after killing the Black Serpent, the Undead developed a considerable interest in Theresis.

After all, this wasn't the first time he'd heard the name.

In his recovered Victorian memories, he had heard the name Therese many times.

This regent of Kazdel seems to wield considerable influence in Lentinium, Victoria.

It seems that Therese was the one behind the dragon hunt in Victoria at the time.

“W’s relationship with us hasn’t been exposed yet, so she should be safe for now. However, it will probably take some time before we can actually get close enough to find out about Theresis.”

Dr. said.

"It could take anywhere from six months to several years. This is something that cannot be accomplished in a short time. Unless that regent has really lost his mind."

"Is that so?"

The immortal nodded.

Since the doctor has said so, he should go and talk to Wei Yanwu first. If there's anything worth knowing about the Great Yan, he might as well go there himself.

"If you're going to Great Yan, remember to keep in touch with Rhodes Island. While we can't offer you much help, Rhodes Island's connections can be of some use."

"Thank you."

The immortal nodded to the doctor and thanked him softly.

The doctor chuckled twice.

"This is nothing. You saved my life, and the lives of so many people on Rhodes Island. This is just repaying you."

"You've already come to see yourself as a member of Rhodes Island?"

The Undead's words silenced the Doctor, who had been chuckling.

The Doctor himself didn't realize that he had started to consider himself a member of Rhodes Island without even realizing it.

When is it?

Was it when Amiya stood in front of him, shielding him from Frostnova's energy attack?

Or was it when Amiya accompanied him to the library to cram for knowledge about the mainland?

Or when Kal'tsit stares at you with a familiar yet unfamiliar look in her eyes, a smile playing on her lips?

Or to put it more simply, it was when Amiya reached out her hand to him, her eyes filled with hope, and her voice filled with excitement as she called him Doctor.

The doctor himself couldn't quite explain what kind of feeling it was.

It was as if he belonged here all along. But he himself didn't realize that he still maintained a considerable distance from it.

Even though he kept telling himself to be rational, he still unknowingly built trust with the people here.

The operators trusted the Doctor's decisions and the battle strategies he devised.

Perhaps this is what it feels like to find your own place in the world.

The doctor chose to avoid the topic; he didn't know how to answer it.

It's only been a week or two, and it's already like this.

"Mr. Undying, and what about you?"

The Undead pointed gently to the campfire in front of him.

The doctor was somewhat confused.

"The immortal said softly."

"The campfire is my home."

Both Melantha and Kroos have unknowingly developed a fondness for sitting around the campfire and talking to the undead.

Even though the people who didn't die hardly spoke, it was the two of them who talked a lot.

Those who are even slightly close to them like to sit around the campfire like immortals, enjoying moments of tranquility.

For the Undead themselves, the campfire is their refuge.

No matter how difficult the battle, as long as you return to the campfire, put down your weapons, and sit quietly for a while, you can overcome any obstacle.

Listening to the quiet sound of the campfire burning and watching the firewood slowly turn into charcoal, the immortal's heart can find peace.

Just like that journey that lasted millions of years.

The doctor stared at the campfire without saying a word.

He didn't quite understand what the immortal was saying, but he didn't ask.

Everyone has their own habits. Just like Melantha kisses the badge on her chest before training, Kroos likes to sleep holding the Undead Gauntlets, and Amiya likes to follow the Doctor around calling him "Doctor."

The feelings that the undead have for the campfire are beyond their comprehension; let time explain everything.

In any case, the Undead and Rhodes Island are now on the same side.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Patriot's troops, guerrilla members, and the Yeti squad are still on Rhodes Island."

The doctor suddenly thought of something and made a suggestion.

"I heard Frostnova's condition has stabilized recently. Should we go see her tomorrow?"

Sending the Undead to see Frostnova wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision.

The Doctor needs an immortal to act as a stabilizing force, to keep those who might threaten the stability of Rhodes Island in check.

The immortal nodded.

Froststar?

It's time to go and take a look.
