Ark Undead

The Longmen border police officer's tone of voice also softened.

But the burly man was not as ferocious as expected.

Instead, he looked bewildered and even asked in a somewhat friendly manner.

"Huh? Do I need any identification?"

"Yes...yes, sir!"

The police officer reluctantly pointed to the station next door.

"If this is your first time in Longmen, please go to the side to register and wait a moment. Going through the whole process will take about half... no, more than ten minutes."

The policeman paused for a moment, then continued to explain.

"Longmen has just experienced a major event, and border control has been quite strict recently. I hope you can understand."

The big man was very easy to talk to. He nodded and even extended his hand, which was as big as a fan.

"Okay, thank you."

The policeman, trembling with fear, grasped the burly man's hand and shook it slightly.

He felt like a toy in front of this big man; he thought he would fall apart if the man exerted even a little force.

The big man used very little force, greeted the police, and then went to queue at the next station.

Everyone around him turned their attention to him; this giant, who was more than twice the height of a normal person, attracted everyone's attention.

Finally, it was the big man's turn. He bent over and walked into the station.

The ceiling inside the station room was too low for him; he even had to squat to walk.

Arriving at the room, looking at the door frame that was only two meters long, the big man wondered whether he should squat down to go inside.

The police officer next to him very kindly came up to the big man and offered to help him go in and submit the documents.

The big man nodded gratefully, then took his identification documents out of the oversized backpack he was carrying and handed them to the police.

A dozen minutes later, a police officer came out of the room with a notice in his hand and shouted.

"Mr. Onstan from Kazimir, is Mr. Onstan here?"

The police looked around, and finally their gaze settled on the corner of the wall.

The burly man sat in the corner, surrounded by two policemen who were checking his weapon for hidden compartments.

But they could only lift the spears off the ground with all their might.

The burly man scratched his head and turned to meet the gaze of the policeman who had called his name.

"Hey, here."

The burly man waved to the police, even though he was seated. His hand easily touched the roof, even rubbing off some dust.

“I am Onstan.”

"Here are your identification documents and files... We suggest you find a safe place to store them."

The police officer paused for a moment.

"Your ID seems a bit small, so please be careful to protect it."

The big man revealed a hearty smile, showing off his gleaming teeth.

"Okay, thank you."

256. The Shadow in the Flames

After chatting with Skadi for a while, the Undead asked some more questions about the Lion Rider.

But Skadi was only hearing rumors; she was the type of person who wouldn't bother to find out anything that wasn't related to what she was doing.

Undead couldn't get much information out of him in the short term, so he kept the matter to himself, planning to ask the Doctor and Kal'tsit later to see if Rhodes Island could provide any clues.

After all, compared to one person's own channels, a large organization like Rhodes Island definitely knows far more than the Undead.

Skadi warmed herself by the fire near the Undead for a while, and her hair was almost dry.

Skadi was planning to go back, but just as she was about to return to her room, there was a knock on the Undead's door.

The undead went to open the door, and standing outside was a warlock who had just arrived from Victoria.

Are you free now?

Tianhuo stood at the entrance to the Undead's gate and asked the Undead.

Actually, Tianhuo hesitated a bit before coming to find the Undead. But thinking about Melantha's behavior during the day, Tianhuo was still somewhat worried.

Tianhuo is not a child, much less a fool.

Since they were both girls, she naturally understood what Melantha meant, especially since Melantha wasn't good at hiding her thoughts.

Although the crisis has been temporarily averted, Skyfire is still somewhat worried that he might affect Melantha.

After all, Melanie was, in name only, his senior sister.

When Melantha deliberately asked, "I never thought I had a senior sister," the meaning was not what it seemed to be.

Melantha was saying, "How come I've never heard of another girl being your disciple?" And she was also secretly telling Skyfire that she was the eldest disciple of the Undead, trying to gain a foothold in front of Skyfire.

Such behavior seemed childish and laughable in front of Tianhuo. But Melantha's later actions aroused a different kind of interest in the girl from Tianhuo.

Melantha is also a very approachable person. It's impossible for them to be jealous of each other just because they both have special feelings for the undead. Melantha just hasn't figured it out yet.

Skyfire's impression of Melantha didn't worsen because of this; instead, after understanding Melantha's emotions, he found her unexpectedly adorable.

It was precisely because Melantha was somewhat adorable that Skyfire was worried about her condition and wanted to have a private chat with the Undead to learn more about his senior sister.

Perhaps it does contain some other ideas.

For example, to sound out what the non-dead people are saying.

After all, Melantha's performance has given Skyfire a sense of crisis.

In reality, Tianhuo didn't take the Undead very seriously as her teacher. Although the Undead did open a door for Tianhuo, and she did gain a lot of knowledge beyond the ordinary from him.

However, their relationship wasn't initially one where the Undead was in control. On the contrary, Heavenly Fire was the one in control, and the Undead were the ones assisting Heavenly Fire.

This made Tianhuo's attitude towards the Undead somewhat strange. On the one hand, she respected the knowledge the Undead taught her very much, but on the other hand, she felt that her relationship with the Undead might not be a pure master-disciple relationship.

This also subtly prompted Skyfire to leave Victoria and arrive at Rhodes Island.

To put it bluntly, the Undead was Tianhuo's teacher, and Tianhuo was once the Undead's superior.

This already makes it difficult for Tianhuo to treat the person in front of him with simple respect.

Not to mention, today Tianhuo was also urged on by some unknown emotion, which led her to do that kind of thing.

To be honest, just as Tianhuo was about to place her hand on the Undead's palm, she even felt a strange sense of immorality, which was inexplicable, but she really found it very exciting.

Unexpectedly, when the immortal opened the door, there was another girl in the room.

Moreover, the white hair and red eyes gave Tianhuo an ominous premonition for some reason.

Skyfire turned its gaze to Skadi, who glanced at Skyfire before turning her attention back to the campfire.

"Is something wrong?"

The immortal asked.

"Ah... I'd like to talk to you, and also resolve some issues related to magic."

Tianhuo quickly explained his purpose, hoping to obtain a ticket to enter the Undead's room.

Of course, the immortals wouldn't shut their disciples out.

After Skyfire was let in, the topics and arguments that Skyfire had prepared were immediately blocked by Skadi's presence.

The Undead, on the contrary, walked calmly and relaxed to the campfire and gestured for Skyfire to sit down.

Tianhuo sat down by the campfire. It was the first time she had ever seen an undead person sit by a campfire. Undead people always came to her; she had never been a guest in an undead person's house even once.

Even though it was his first time in the Undead's room, Tianhuo subconsciously felt a sense of warmth and familiarity.

The reason she had this strange sensation was because of the campfire in front of her.

With the flames of incantation within her, Tianhuo could sense the immense power of the bonfire before her.

Although it was mortal fire created by the Undead using the Primordial Flame, it was still imbued with the essence of the Primordial Flame, which gave the Heavenly Fire a strange longing for the campfire.

She instinctively reached out and moved closer to the campfire.

But at that moment, the Undead grabbed Skyfire's arm.

"Watch out for the fire."

The Undead issued a deep warning.

"It is your aid, and also the root of your downfall."

Tianhuo suddenly realized what was happening and quickly withdrew her hand, carefully tucking it into her bosom.

She was drenched in cold sweat, which quickly soaked her underwear, and her heart sank in.

If it weren't for the Undead stopping him, Tianhuo would have really had to touch that high temperature with his own hands.

Although such fire might not cause any damage to the Heavenly Fire, it has exposed the problems with the Heavenly Fire, as well as the problems with her cursed fire.

She truly couldn't completely control her desires.

"Take your time, don't panic."

How could the Undead not see Tianhuo's abnormality? While comforting Tianhuo, he grabbed Tianhuo's hand, turned it upwards, and said.

"Please, let me see the flames of magic."

Skyfire realized that things were not simple, but the Undead grabbed his arm.

The young lady, who had almost no contact with men, felt a tingling sensation all over her body, and her earlobes had turned slightly red without her noticing.

But a deep flame still rose from her palm.

The flames were crimson, with a hint of dark yellow at the center—the medium for using spells, the flames of spells.

But for some reason, around that spellfire, there were wisps of black mist that were not easily detected.
