reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

Bai Ye smiled and sighed, "It is indeed a great ideal, but for me, it's not so lofty."

"I was just thinking that, at the very least, I had to accomplish one thing."

Yes, Bai Ye doesn't have such lofty ideals, and he's not a great person at all.

However, he had always run away before, but now he didn't want to run away anymore.

At the very least, we should accomplish at least one thing; we can't just end up achieving nothing.

……

Thinking about what Kal'tsit had just said, Bai Ye's smile suddenly froze.

Because he felt like he was hearing a ghost story.

Of course, the real ghost story isn't about the smiling Dr. Kal'tsit, although that might seem more terrifying, but that's not what Bai Ye is concerned about.

He was thinking of Theresa.

Having always heard Kal'tsit refer to him as "Your Highness," Bai Ye had never delved into who this person was that Kal'tsit had kept in mind for so long.

But something still feels off. W and Bai Ye had mentioned her before, but Bai Ye didn't delve into it then; his mind was preoccupied with how to level up and improve his strength.

Now, he suddenly remembered that the woman named Theresa was still alive.

At least, back when he was a player, even in version 6, he could find her in Londinium—of course, for ordinary players to meet her, they needed to have extremely high reputation with the Sarkaz court.

Bai Ye was quite interested in her at the time, not because of the side quests associated with this NPC. The reason was actually quite simple: Theresa was quite pretty.

She is also very popular on the forum.

Although it's a bit embarrassing to talk about, Bai Ye did read her manuscript.

Now these people are all confidently telling Bai Ye that Theresa is dead and that Amiya is her successor.

Could it be that what Bai Ye saw as a player in the past was fake?

However, if Theresa really didn't die, then wouldn't Amiya, as the heir, also become a joke?

The legitimacy of Rhodes Island as the Sarkaz government-in-exile would become laughable and subject to questioning.

Of course, this has absolutely nothing to do with Bai Ye. After all, Dr. Kal'tsit is right; they are just temporary fellow travelers.

……

"What's wrong?" Dr. Kal'tsit asked, noticing that Bai Ye had suddenly become stunned.

To be honest, she had encountered Bai Ye like this many times before; sometimes he would just get lost in his own world. She was used to it.

Bai Ye was startled awake by Kal'tsit. He came to his senses and shook his head: "No, I just suddenly thought of something."

"So, when do we set off?"

"Get ready, we'll leave tomorrow." Kal'tsit didn't take it seriously.

-------------------------------------

"Whether she lives or dies is none of your business, Bai Ye."

As he walked out of Dr. Kal'tsit's office, Bai Ye muttered to himself.

Just as Bai Ye had thought, this was an internal struggle within the Sarkaz race, and Rhodes Island was caught up in it, yet he remained completely unmoved.

but……

'If you have time, you can stop by Lentinium on the way...'

Bai Ye raised his head.

The two moons hung in the sky, as if mocking his meddling.

"After all, they are allies. If things collapse here, it will be very troublesome."

Bai Ye seemed to be defending herself...

Chapter 82 Iberia

At night, Bai Ye sat on the sofa in her dormitory, gently wiping the "wind chime" in her hand.

Weapons need maintenance. Not all weapons can be used for forging like the wedge ball. Otherwise, the blade will chip, the sword will break, and dirt will cause the weapon to rust.

However, these laws do not apply to the "wind chime," since it is a "divine weapon" forged by a giant beast, representing, to a certain extent, the embodiment and aggregation of a certain concept. It does not require maintenance like ordinary weapons.

However, Bai Ye was already used to it.

He carefully wiped the sword and evenly applied sword oil, a process he was already very familiar with when he was a player.

It truly allows him to become incredibly focused, while also calming his chaotic thoughts.

Ghost Shark sat down next to Bai Ye, tilting his head and watching patiently as Bai Ye wiped a sword back and forth.

Incidentally, Bai Ye has also had Nian Ti Ghost Shark reforge her weapon. Although it won't be as extravagant as Bai Ye's weapon, it's at least more robust and durable than the circular saw blade she originally ordered from Rembiton.

Moreover, the corrosive liquid from Haisi wouldn't cause irreversible damage to the saw blade. Sometimes, even though materials science on Terra had reached an absurd level, the power wielded by a behemoth like Nian was still unmatched.

This difference is illogical; even the engineering staff at Rhodes Island can only admit their inferiority. They did attempt to reverse engineer the technology, and according to Kroos, Rhodes Island's workshops three through six operated continuously for three months, resulting in a large amount of experimental waste.

In the end, nothing was gained.

……

"What are you thinking about?"

Laurentina suddenly spoke up.

Bai Ye's hand paused slightly.

"What's on your mind? If you're worried, we can go with you tomorrow. Did that old woman bully you? We can handle things on our own without having to put up with her."

"Ghost Shark said softly."

"That's not true at all, and... well, she did save you, too."

"Hmph, I saved him, but not properly. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be awake now." Ghost Shark curled his lip.

However, she didn't continue speaking; after all, she wasn't an unreasonable person. That doctor was indeed a good person.

But Ghost Shark didn't like her either.

Bai Ye put away the wind chime in her hand, but a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

Both deep-sea hunters cared about him, but in different ways.

Titi is not good with words and not very good at comforting people, so she would quietly sit next to Bai Ye and let him lean on her. It was a silent form of care.

Specter Shark truly immersed herself in the role of a nun, so she enjoyed talking to Byakuya and having Byakuya "confess" to her.

It must be said that Specter's presence effectively compensates for Skadi's shortcomings.

The girl hugged Bai Ye's head, letting him bury his face in her arms, and then slowly said, "Let me teach you a song..."

"A hunter came ashore?"

“If you encounter one of our companions, sing to him. Do you remember what we taught you in the waters of Siesta? The language of the Deepsea Hunters is song, and their battle is dance.”

"If the hunter who comes ashore has turned into a monster, then don't hesitate to kill it."

Ghost Shark looked at White Night and said softly, "Your weakness is that you're easily swayed by emotions and you're a busybody who's always trying to please everyone."

"I'm not a pushover," Bai Ye retorted in a muffled voice.

Thanks to his superhuman physique, he wasn't suffocated by the ghost shark.

However, he still kept Ghost Shark's song in his heart.

I doubt we'll need it.

Bai Ye thought to himself.

-------------------------------------

“Iberia is special; it is the most isolated country in this land. This isolation is not the kind of closed-off nature of the past, but rather a protective self-isolation.”

On the aircraft, Dr. Kal'tsit told White Night about Iberia.

“In the past, there were some Agorians who fled from Agor to Iberia. They were called ‘islanders’ by the local Iberians. Relying on the advanced technology brought by the islanders from Agor, Iberia rose rapidly to become one of the major powers that dominated Terra.”

"However, as you know, more than fifty years ago, a disaster occurred on the Iberian coast."

Bai Ye nodded: "Great Tranquility."

"Yes, the sea level rose sharply, separating the lighthouses from the land, and all the lighthouses simultaneously became paralyzed for unknown reasons. The whole country fell into an unusual silence, the fleets at sea lost contact, and even radio waves disappeared in the country."

Kal'tsit's hand rested on the armrest of the chair; her mood was not as calm as it appeared.

Because she was in Letania during the Great Quiet, she was also a witness to the event.

After all, she's an older woman, so it's normal for her to have experienced more things.

"Besides the deep sea, what else should we be wary of in Iberia?"

Bai Ye asked.

“The Inquisition, we should also seek their help if necessary. They are in charge of fighting against the Sea Heirs and the Deep Sea Church.” Dr. Kal'tsit came to her senses.

"That's a really nice name," Bai Ye couldn't help but remark.

“We’re going to Primavira. According to our sources, it’s the closest coastal city to the ocean current anomaly.” Kal’tsit sent a detailed map of Iberia to White Night.

"Based on this map alone, the Iberian court should arrest you."

Bai Ye smiled as she set the location.

Next, Hanai 2 can drive itself; Baiye no longer needs to operate it.

He finally had some free time and leaned back in his chair.

"Didn't Skadi and Specter request to come along?" Kal'tsit suddenly asked.

“Yes.” Bai Ye nodded. “However, I still advised them to stay.”

“Yes, the Agors are not in a good position in Iberia,” Kal'tsit explained, revealing the reason for temporarily suspending the Deepsea Hunters operation.

Bai Ye was puzzled: "Why? They brought technology, making Iberia powerful."

“But they also brought destruction, at least that’s what the Iberians think.” Kal’tsit sneered.

"But even closed countries can be pried open, and we might encounter some undead."

Bai Ye had no doubt about the player's ability to act.

Although Iberia is closed to the outside world, players always find a way to enter.

Chapter 83 Minghen

Bai Ye activated the aircraft's optical stealth device and simultaneously turned on the spell detection shield.

In the past, Baiye had learned a lesson: simply activating optical cloaking was indeed invisible to the naked eye, but Terra possessed a magical detection system similar to radar, so Baiye's aircraft had been found before.

Fortunately, it was in Lungmen back then, and Bai Ye had some connections there. Although he only knew the head of the Lungmen Guard Bureau's Special Inspectorate and had a good relationship with Lungmen's governing officials, that was all. In the end, nothing bad happened to him.

At most, it was only locked down by the city's defenses for a period of time.

After the misunderstanding was cleared up, he was able to continue entering the airspace of Lungmen.

However, Bai Ye really doesn't have any friends in Iberia, especially since Kal'tsit just mentioned the inhuman, almost paranoid court here.

Let's be careful. I'm unlikely to be in any danger, but the aircraft is a different story.

The shield generator has a power limit, and even if Bai Ye provides backup power, it may not be able to support Bai Ye's power.

He certainly didn't want his aircraft to crash here. Getting his hands on it wouldn't have been easy.

Fortunately, everyone is safe and sound.

After entering Iberian airspace, nothing unexpected happened, and Hanai 2 piloted the aircraft to a steady stop in Primavira.

"Although I've been here before, it was in a rush, and I didn't get a good look around." Bai Ye jumped off the aircraft and patted Hanai 2.

After Dr. Kal'tsit disembarked, the aircraft took off again and hovered over Bai Ye and the others to provide timely support.

“We’re not here for tourism, and this isn’t exactly a tourist destination.”

Kal'tsit had changed her clothes before setting off. She no longer wore the semi-transparent protective gown as before, but instead put on a protective overcoat.
