Ark Undead

As the two walked forward, Greyhound took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth.

Only after walking to a designated smoking area did Greyhound reach for a lighter and light a cigarette.

"Are you... leaving?"

"The immortal asked."

Greyhound nodded, the smoke making his eyes squint, then he exhaled the smoke heavily to the side, not towards the Undead and Kroos.

"I can't stay on the island forever, so I'm already planning to leave. Once my weapons are ready and I've finished organizing the intelligence and information, I should leave."

Greyhound's nature has always been carefree, even during the Great Yan era. If there's nothing urgent, he'll choose to go out for a cup of tea, enjoy a delicious meal, and then smoke while gazing at the sky.

But now, Greyhound is actually forging weapons on its very first day of arriving at Rhodes Island, which means it must be prepared to leave at any time.

"So urgent."

"Hey, that's how it is for people like us. We can never finish our work, but we only have one life. The sooner we finish our work, the sooner we can enjoy life."

The greyhound didn't seem to care and took another drag of his cigarette. Then, he flicked the cigarette butt twice into the ashtray above the trash can with his right hand.

"I need to go to Kazdel and talk to W to see what I can do."

It's likely that elite operators like Greyhound do similar things to Scout, such as gathering intelligence and investigating situations.

Scout doesn't live in Rhode Island for long periods, and neither does Greyhound.

"Your gift... Phew... I left it by your room door, you'll see it when you get back."

Greyhound chuckled twice as he looked at Kroos hanging from the Undead's arm.

"So cute."

"Yes."

The Undead glanced down at Kroos, and when he looked up at Greyhound, he noticed that Greyhound's eyes looked a little strange.

"?" He looked at the greyhound, asking if there was a problem. The greyhound just kept smiling and didn't say anything.

Only after Greyhound finished smoking the cigarette and stubbed it out in the ashtray did he get serious.

"Once I leave Kazdel, I will go to Minos."

"Did they tell you?"

Minos may have something related to the undead, which is what the undead are told.

But it's rather strange that Greyhound suddenly says he's going to Minos.

"say what?"

Greyhound clearly didn't know what "undead" meant, so he explained.

"This is Kal'tsit's message. W is waiting for me in Kazdel to hand over the reins. I'm just going there to receive intelligence; I won't stay long. But the real problem is the hand that Kazdel is reaching out to."

"The Originium levels in Minos have been a bit strange lately. The operators stationed in Minos have reported varying degrees of increase or decrease in the local Originium concentration. For a region, only natural disasters could cause such a situation."

"However, there have been no clear warnings of natural disasters in Minos during this month. The various messengers of natural disasters have also been unable to explain the situation in Minos. There is reason to suspect that Theresis may have some arrangements in Minos."

The aura of demons can cause abnormalities in the bodies of infected individuals, which in turn affects the concentration of Originium in certain areas.

Greyhound, who had fought against demons, was well aware of this; Minos's situation was very similar to that of Shang Shu at the time.

"It's all about being prepared. Anyway, I've encountered similar incidents in the Great Yan before. After Kal'tsit read the combat report I submitted, she assigned me this mission."

The greyhound, however, didn't seem to care at all.

The Undead nodded without saying anything more.

What Greyhound does is none of his business; he just needs to wait for Kal'tsit's notification.

This is one of the benefits of the Undead joining Rhodes Island; he doesn't need to travel too much, as Rhodes Island's personnel scattered throughout Terra will provide him with intelligence.

If Minos really is acting strangely, even the non-dead might go there.

The Undead had some guesses about the "arena of the gods" that Ling mentioned.

But would that really have survived to this day?

The undead don't know, so he has to wait.

When the arena that once bore his glory truly reappears in the world...

324. Her in my memory

"A while ago, a rare subterranean fire eruption occurred within the Kingdom of Kazdel. Do you have any information about this?"

It was already the second day, and I received a message from the doctor early in the morning saying that he wanted to talk to the Undead.

The Undead sat on the sofa, nodding and then shaking his head in response to the Doctor's question.

He nodded because he initially thought that his flames had burned into the abyss nest on the other side through the portal opened by the pardoner. The initial flame would burn when it met firewood, just like a torch meeting high-purity liquor.

He shook his head because, apart from that, he really knew nothing. He didn't know where it erupted, or what happened next.

"Okay, looks like you did it?"

The professor quickly wrote this down in the notebook in front of him.

"Maybe."

The Undead then recounted the events that had transpired in Yan to the Doctor. The story took a few minutes, and the Doctor could barely understand the Undead's fragmented words.

After thinking and summarizing for a while, the doctor filled a large page of paper in front of him with writing, and then slowly began to communicate with the undead.

"So, it means Theresis has already extended her reach into the territory of Great Yan. But Great Yan is also on guard, so taking advantage of this opportunity, you directly burned down one of the Abyss Nests within Kazdel?"

"Yes, you can say that."

The Undead nodded, confirming the doctor's statement.

The professor stared at the paper in front of him and bit the pen cap stuck at the back of the pen twice.

Then he looked up at the immortal.

"If the intelligence is accurate, Kazdel shouldn't have any special overseas activities recently. But we've tracked Kazdel down in Victoria."

The immortal didn't understand what the doctor meant.

The doctor added.

"Theresis may be restarting his operations in Victoria, where he has made many arrangements for himself. In particular, he went there as the regent of Kazdel, but he has his own power base and many deep-rooted partnerships in Victoria."

"Moreover, there are rumors that a leader has returned to the Draco party, one of the three royal parties."

"Return? Who?"

The Undead seems to know more about the three-party power struggle in Victoria than about the political situation in other countries.

Not only because it was Melanie's homeland, but also because she had two friends there.

Vina and Hannah.

As the current leader of Aslan's royal party, Vina should be very close to the throne. But for some reason, Aslan's royal party has not yet been able to control the overall situation.

"We haven't caught wind of who it is yet, but it's said to be related to Kazdel's interference."

The information the Doctor received was from Kal'tsit yesterday. Kal'tsit, of course, received the information through Victoria's agents, thus guaranteeing the authenticity of the source.

"Oh, by the way, you know the person who sent the message back. It's W's friend, Ines."

"Many supporters of the Drake Party have not yet publicly declared their loyalty. But not only in Lentinium, but also in some surrounding counties, such rumors have spread very quickly. This is a premeditated spread."

When the doctor talked about these things, his tone became serious, which was different from his usual lazy demeanor.

"In fact, not long after you left Da Yan, Rhodes Island received a letter from Victoria. The sender of the letter was none other than Miss Vina, the current leader of the Aslan Royalist Party."

What did she say?

The immortals immediately took it to heart.

Last time, I was indebted to Vina for her help.

"She said she needed help because things weren't going well in Londinium lately, and many trade routes were blocked outside of Londinium. This also caused some delays in communication between the surrounding counties."

"Rhodes Island itself has no connection with her. So this letter wasn't simply sent to Rhodes Island; she mentioned you in the letter, and you left her your contact information?"

When the letter reached the doctor, he roughly guessed what was going on.

It must have been when the Undead left Victoria that they told Vina where they were going, which is why this letter was sent to Rhodes Island.

"Yes, I told her to send me a letter if she needs anything."

"It seems that Miss Vina has her own channels for obtaining information and knows that you have come to Rhodes Island."

After listening to the Undead's words, the Doctor nodded, then leaned back in his chair, pointing his fingers together, and pondered for a while.

“Your disciple has already set off for Victoria, and we have also sent some operators to Victoria. If we can establish a connection with the Aslan Royalist Party this time, it will be more beneficial than not for Rhodes Island.”

The Doctor saw it clearly: although the letter was addressed to the Undead, the Undead were not on Rhodes Island at the time, so Melantha and Skyfire were notified instead.

Melantha didn't go back. She hasn't become a full-fledged operator yet, and without her, the team's training would be difficult.

But Skyfire is different. She has friends in Victoria, and as a member of the "King's Rod," she should go back and check on them if something happens in Victoria.

Furthermore, Skyfire is also an external staff member of Rhodes Island, similar in nature to the Undead, and has a high degree of freedom.

"The latest news is that some of the mercenaries in Kazdel have obtained legitimate rights of action in the counties near Victoria, which is of course a result of the Regent's intervention."

"However, the Drake party has not revealed any further information so far. I don't think there will be any changes in the short term; we'll just have to wait and see."

The doctor's opinion is very professional. The Undead heard that Skyfire has returned, and Rhodes Island has provided sufficient assistance, so Vina should be safe.

The immortal nodded slightly, then asked.

"That's it?"

He was called over by the doctor early in the morning, who said he wanted to talk to him about something.

"Of course not, I'm just telling you this by chance. Even if I didn't say it, Kal'tsit would probably tell you later."

The doctor picked up the coffee that was almost cool next to him, took a sip, and then spoke.

“I remembered something about that woman.”

Before the doctor could finish speaking, he heard the sound of armor clashing in front of him.
