Ark Undead

Her white teeth bit down on her lower lip, and she even gripped the blanket tightly with her right hand.

I dared not utter a sound.

385. Invitation Letter

Since the return of the Undead, some strange legends have emerged on Rhodes Island.

For example, I saw a goddess from mythology walk into the cafeteria.

Or perhaps a woman wearing an eye patch was seen going into the warehouse to retrieve something.

However, no one had ever seen this woman before, as she had appeared on Rhodes Island.

Some operators thought she was just a hallucination, because the woman's demeanor was truly otherworldly.

It was as if a celestial being, who would never appear in the mortal world, looked at him with a smile, and he was momentarily stunned.

Some even bet that she was definitely an elite operator, because she had access to the lowest level warehouse at will.

These opinions vary widely, and there is no definitive conclusion.

But everyone assumed that this woman was a mysterious operator.

One day, after Melantha finished her training for the day, the woman appeared again at the door of the training room and waved to Melantha.

Little Melansha naturally ran over, hugged the woman, and then rubbed against her affectionately.

It was only then that Melantha's companions discovered this fact in shock.

That is, Melantha actually knew this legendary goddess.

When asked by her companions, Melantha simply nodded naturally and said...

"Yes, she's an operator from Rhodes Island. She's the teacher's... well, family."

Recalling the scene she heard and saw in bed that day, Melanie could only grit her teeth and utter the word "family."

But she couldn't express the slightest dissatisfaction with the girls in the Fire Department.

Even deep in her heart, she harbored a strong affection for the Fire Mage, and thought she and her teacher were a perfect match.

This is a very peculiar mindset.

Melanie's answer evoked a strange feeling for her, but it was a different story for others.

As everyone knows, none of the operators on Rhodes Island want to disturb the lives of the undead.

Although they all carried paper and pens, hoping to encounter the immortals on the island, they would only actually approach them for autographs after they had interacted with them sufficiently.

As soon as these words got out, the entire Rhodes Island was in an uproar.

"What?! Mr. War Knight has family?"

"What? Mr. War Knight has someone he likes?"

"What?! The Knight has a wife?!"

Surprisingly, in a sense, these rumors did not become increasingly outrageous as they spread.

As more people actually saw the Fire Mage on Rhodes Island and greeted her, the rumors gradually turned into envy and admiration.

As expected of Mr. War Knight, outstanding men naturally attract outstanding women.

That operator, codenamed "Fire Girl," is not only incredibly kind and approachable, but also possesses unique insights into many fields of knowledge.

Even the doctor made a public statement before the situation became more serious.

The operator that Mr. War Knight brought back had made great contributions to Rhodes Island and was also a very knowledgeable scholar.

However, this fire-elemental lady prefers to stay in her room, just like the war knight. Therefore, she doesn't usually show herself.

The rumors gradually subsided, but they had already stirred up a storm throughout Rhodes Island.

Frostnova, the Frostnova operator representing the remnants of the Reunion Movement at Rhodes Island, also met with the fire-elemental woman in private.

Later, in a conversation with the Yeti team, he referred to them as "respectable idealists".

Even Miss Shining from the Apostle Organization locked herself in her room for a day and a night after talking with the Fire Mistress.

When she reappeared, she simply spoke after a period of silence.

"The one who knows is far more than you can imagine."

The most important spokesperson, Mr. Onstan, also answered questions from Blue Poison and others when he attended the pastry workshop.

His praise for the Fire Mage never stopped.

After all, after the Undead returned, Ornstein went to see the Fire Mage and talked with them for a long time about the past.

After learning about those events, Ornstein could no longer ignore what the Fire Mage had done. In his mind, the Fire Mage's status was almost equal to that of the Undead.

This was a prophet who lived through the Age of the Deep Sea. He was even one of the pioneers who guided the birth of Terra.

Even if her only goal was to encounter the undead, what she did was enough to earn her respect.

In summary, the Fire Mage's identity was briefly prominent on Rhodes Island, before fading into obscurity along with her reputation as an undead.

Only a few people, upon seeing Melantha's occasional expression of disappointment, sighed just like her.

"There's a chance for Mei."

Among them, the doctor even looked at Melantha with a pitying expression.

He could understand Melantha's feelings for her teacher. But such feelings were perhaps destined to have no happy ending.

After all, he already has a woman by his side who can accompany him to the end of the world.

Moreover, she was very proactive.

This initiative is reflected in every aspect.

Katie visited the Undead after the Fire Maiden incident.

At the time, she was simply asking about techniques for using a shield.

Then I saw the Fire Mage standing to the side, holding a needle and thread, mending her slightly torn cloak.

As Katie finished her studies and was about to leave, she saw the Fire Mage walk towards the Undead with the fully repaired cloak in her hand.

"Come on, give it a try?"

Then, the Fire Mage skillfully and unabashedly brushed the dust off the Undead's shoulders and fastened the cloak to his armor.

Then he pulled the immortal to his feet, made the immortal turn left and right, and showed it to her.

The Undead stood up to Katie's astonished gaze and listened very "obediently" to the Fire Mage's instructions. Sometimes he faced the Fire Mage directly, and sometimes he turned to the side.

Finally, the Fire Maiden asked with a smile.

"Although the craftsmanship can't compare to that of the tailor who sewed your clothes back then, it should still be pretty good, right?"

The answer from the immortal was even more significant.

"You did a great job."

From that moment on, Katie felt deeply frustrated for her friend.

Even though the two of them hadn't done anything, the way the Knight spoke and the subtle connection between them completely overturned Katie's thoughts.

Xiao Mei, you've done so well. It's not that you're incapable, it's that the enemy is too powerful!

Of course, after returning, Katie did not describe the scene to Melantha.

He simply stared at Melantha with a meaningful look, making Melantha feel a chill run down her spine, and then she sighed and shook her head.

How can you win if you can't win?

Time passed by little by little.

The operators on Rhodes Island gradually got used to having such an elegant and intellectual woman randomly appear in various places.

Perhaps it's learning how to cook, or perhaps it's learning how to make coffee.

It's also possible that he went to the storeroom to retrieve fabric and thread, intending to sew a brand new set of clothes for his beloved.

Two weeks after the Undead returned to Rhodes Island, several weary figures emerged from the elevator that connected Rhodes Island directly to the warehouse.

At that moment, everyone knew it was time to get to work.

"Kal'tsit is back."

The Undead connected with the doctor's call.

"That's what the doctor said."

"Come to the conference room, and bring the Pyromancer with you. The news Kal'tsit brought back is very important; you'll be very interested."

...

The Undead strode forward steadily, with the Fire Mage silently following behind him.

The two entered the conference room.

Sitting here are not only the Doctor, but also Amiya and Kal'tsit, whom the Doctor mentioned on the phone.

There's also Skadi, who hasn't made any moves since returning to Rhodes Island; Specter, who's always in a state of chaos; and a tall woman dressed similarly to Specter.

When the undead pushed open the door, they all turned their gazes toward them.

The Undead immediately noticed the ring on Ghost Shark's finger.

That was a trophy Skadi obtained from the Undead Arena.

The curse ring.

"Mr. Undying".

Kal'tsit nodded slightly to the undead as a greeting.

The Undead nodded to Kal'tsit, then walked to the table, revealing the Fire Mage following behind him.

As the fire-elemental woman walked in, Kal'tsit glanced at her first, and then, just as she was about to turn her gaze away, a blank expression appeared in her eyes.

She froze for several seconds, her gaze fixed on the Fire-Binding Woman.

The Fire Mage sensed Kal'tsit's gaze, turned to her, gave her a slight smile, and nodded.
