reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

In nature, Byakuya's mental recovery speed is also faster, which is why he subconsciously likes the natural environment of the sanatorium.

……

Bai Ye finished reading the entire book "The Last Knight" all by herself in the sanatorium courtyard.

With a sense of surprise, Bai Ye returned to her dormitory.

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

"In any case, Kazimir is inextricably linked to Agor, even though one country is entirely on land while the latter is a mysterious kingdom submerged in the deep sea."

“A miraculous fate brought them together.”

Bai Ye stood in the dormitory living room, recounting stories about Kazimierz.

Grandia stood by the window of the holographic screen, holding the novel that White Night had borrowed from Operator Nearl, namely Margaret Nearl.

"The Last Knight..." Gladys had just spent two hours using the terminal to quickly master the language of Kazimierz, so she could now easily understand the novel's content.

She read out the title of the novel.

“This is a knight of Kazimierz, and also a well-known Kazimierz fairy tale.” Bai Ye was equally surprised by the connection between Kazimierz and the deep sea.

In fact, before reading the novel, he had no idea that there would be any connection between the two countries.

These are two completely unrelated things.

"interesting."

Goredia looked at the novel, stroked her chin, and read a certain passage aloud:

"Legend has it that the last knight returned to Iberia. In his eyes, his enemies were not living beings, and his targets were only mountains, cities, and waves."

Legend has it that the last knight settled on the coast, sleeping in the open air, day after day, until he forgot how to take off his helmet.

Legend has it that the last knight battled a huge wave until he disappeared. His family discovered his remains on the shore, brought them back to the Kingdom of Knights, and buried them deep in the mountains.

Legend has it that his or her story was known by a poet, who processed it, sang it, and gave it meaning and symbols. In this form, the knight returned to the land of chivalry, embroiled in controversy...

But...some believe, that the mad knight triumphed over the sea, time, and death. He pursued his goal until the very end.

"What a romantic story," Specter remarked, munching on snacks she'd swiped from Skadi. "Could civilizations on land also create such tales?"

"However, as I have said, this is not a fairy tale, but something that actually happened."

White Night's words caught Specter off guard.

Skadi nodded.

Chapter 133 The Past of Waterdrop Village

Skadi first picked up the Pocky that Byakuya had taken from the Penguin Logistics base in Lungmen, put one in her mouth, and then put another one in Byakuya's mouth.

Then, while eating snacks, she looked at Bai Ye and said:

"The Knight's Treasure?"

Skadi was clearly asking White Night.

As Bai Ye ate the chocolate bar that Skadi had handed him, he wondered why Texas was always eating this stuff. After hearing Skadi's question, he nodded.

As Skadi said, she had previously come across something related to "The Last Knight," namely the Melting Core Key she had found in Waterdrop Village.

That thing was buried together with the knight's treasure that Skadi just mentioned.

The so-called knight's treasure is a tradition still maintained by the knights of Casimir in modern times—after their death, they would bury a large portion of their wealth in a tomb. Of course, this is on the premise that their followers actually built the tomb for them.

The treasures buried in tombs by knights are usually called "knight's treasures," and information about them is constantly passed around in the information networks of bounty hunters and messengers.

The reason these treasures are so attractive to bandits and tomb raiders is that the knights' burial goods may not be just simple precious metals and valuables, but may also be weapons and equipment secretly developed by the knights, secrets that someone wants to protect for a lifetime, or even more dangerous things.

These burial artifacts, even if sold directly to recyclers and the black market, could fetch enormous wealth. Not to mention political entities like Colombia that commission others to acquire or excavate these relics at high prices. Therefore, bounty hunters are exceptionally active in Casimir.

Underground tombs are often affected by natural disasters, sealed forever by dust, or crushed deep underground by restless earth. But there are also many tombs that have not been forgotten, yet have already been excavated.

Skadi's chance encounter with the knight's treasure during her search for the key in Waterdrop Village was identified by the Kazimierz Institute as a group of tombs belonging to expeditionary knights. At the time, some speculated that the treasures within these tombs, besides simple wealth, might also contain dangerous items. Even if these knights intentionally bequeathed their possessions to those who desired them, posterity has been unable to comprehend the power these knights wielded.

On the land of Terra, there is a very strange but scientific tradition: the older something is, the less backward it is. On the contrary, on this turbulent land, the things that are unearthed contain a terrifying power that is far beyond the imagination of modern people.

Ancient represents discontinued technology and lost science.

Somewhat surprisingly, Skadi found only a Core Key from Iberia and a considerable amount of wealth in the Knight's Treasure.

However, there are no powerful weapons, lost technology, or mysterious forces.

Before Skadi left, White Night properly disposed of the treasure.

Instead of simply leaving his wealth to the local village of Waterdrop, he first reported the excavation and archaeological work on the Expedition Knights' Tomb complex to the Kazimierz authorities, and then publicly announced his legal excavation rights over the area.

While Skadi unleashed a powerful attack on the bounty hunters drawn by the scent of blood, Bai Ye used the wealth to establish a foundation and invested the funds in aid and reconstruction efforts for Waterdrop Village and surrounding villages.

The matter of wealth has been settled, but Skadi and Baiye still have some doubts. Why is there a set of keys in Kazimierz that came from Iberia and were even made using Agor technology?

Bai Ye showed the Core Fusion Key to Gretia for inspection. She confirmed that it was a product manufactured using Agor technology, but neither the craftsmanship nor the materials were pure. In other words, it was something made on land after accepting and learning Agor technology.

The so-called "chip fusion" refers to the high integration of major chips and components after optimized design. Goredia is certain that such technology does not exist on land.

……

The questions that had puzzled everyone before now have been answered.

“A knight did indeed travel to Iberia, and his belongings were brought back to Kazimierz by his squire and buried as a knight’s treasure in the Mortica Mountains around the village of Dripping Water. This Core Key was probably also brought to Kazimierz from Iberia.”

“The Agor engineer Breogan.” Goredia nodded, agreeing with Bai Ye’s statement. “Skadi told me, and I’ve looked up the information, that in Kazimierz, there is an Agor engineer named Breogan who passed on the technology he brought from the deep sea to the Iberians.”

“I only went to Kazimierz to look for the key because I knew this name.” Skadi threw the empty Pocky box into the trash can.

Like Texas, although they have no restraint in their snacking and can eat as much as they want, both Texas dogs and orcas have amazing levels of exercise and energy expenditure, so the calories are burned off in time and do not turn into excess fat.

“Perhaps, in Kazimierz, we can obtain more clues about the deep sea and Iberia,” Goredia said thoughtfully.

"Let's set off once we're fully prepared. There are quite a few people this time, so I'll be piloting the aircraft."

Bai Ye's private aircraft, the Thunder Eagle gunship, has been gathering dust since it was moved and parked in Lungmen's hangar. It's time to put it to good use.

This time, Baiye entered Kazimierz openly and honestly, so he could pilot a flying vehicle and did not need to sneak in by high-speed flight.

Furthermore, since he would be staying in Kazimir for a relatively long time, he needed a legitimate way to enter Kazimir. An aircraft would be a good option.

……

After confirming that they were about to travel to Kazimir.

Both Bai Ye and the three deep-sea hunters began to prepare.

Of course, most of the luggage will be left with Baiye.

The inventory is one of the most common yet incredibly overpowered cheats among players.

However, it is often overlooked, just like the system properties panel.

Ghost Shark brought a large stack of circular saw blades from a chainsaw to White Night; these were replacement parts for her weapon.

Her original weapon has been lost, and the chainsaw she is now holding is a land weapon manufactured by Rembiton.

Skadi didn't bring anything extra, so she just stuffed a bunch of snacks into Byakuya's place. Lately, this girl seems to be developing into a foodie.

As for Goredia, she moved a bunch of fresh water in front of Bai Ye with a little embarrassment.

This guy is severely dehydrated and needs to be soaked in water to relieve the symptoms.

Chapter 134 Fengdu

After returning Lin Guang's novel, Bai Ye prepared to leave the island.

Now that Dr. Kal'tsit has returned, there is no need for her to stay on Rhodes Island any longer.

However, before leaving, Bai Ye re-examined the xun he had left with Dr. Kal'tsit.

This is a little gadget I made for him back then. When you blow it, it can produce a sound that resonates with his power at a certain frequency.

The atmosphere connects the world, and sound travels with the wind, so that it can be heard wherever the night is.

Of course, you can also call it a horn; they're essentially the same thing. Sounding the horn summons the White Night.

Originally, Baiye left this thing with Dr. Kal'tsit to prevent the old woman from encountering an accident in Iberia.

Although Bai Ye knew that Dr. Kal'tsit possessed the strength to trade one-for-one with the elite Ursus Imperial Guards and was known as a "mon3tr launcher," Bai Ye was still worried that this guy might encounter an accident at the Iberian Tribunal.

It wasn't because Bai Ye cared about Kal'tsit; it was simply because without her help, many things would become very troublesome. That's all.

However, now that Dr. Kal'tsit has safely returned to Rhodes Island, the stone ocarina has become one of Rhodes Island's trump cards. After all, as long as White Night is there, everything will be alright; and no matter what difficult problems arise, as long as the horn is sounded, White Night will appear here.

It sounds like some kind of incredible sacred relic.

The art style suddenly became like that of a certain game next door that constantly censors character art; it's one of the few profitable games that Uncle (the publisher) distributes.

……

In short, after confirming that there were no other problems on Rhodes Island's side, Bai Ye circled around the core city again.

There's nothing he can do about it; these are the only two things he cares about right now.

Rhodes Island should have a way to cure Specter's Oripathy. Although Kal'tsit didn't say, Bai Ye believed she should have a method. And Chernobog's core city is Bai Ye's base of operations and his home.

This is also the place where Bai Ye feels most at home.

Yes, Rhodes Island wasn't actually Bai Ye's top priority. The Core City, however, was the only place on this land that this stranger could call home.

It is the emerald spring in the forest, the marble bathed in moonlight, the silent fall of fruit onto the grass, and the ancient poets who wrote about it. The amber-colored artificial river, tinged with the halo of the midnight sun, the trajectory and speed of the setting sun—whose story are they telling?

Of course, there's no need to even ask.

Not only the city of Baiye, but even the players have fallen in love with it.

Unlike other cities in this land, this place seems to have escaped suffering, yet it is not an overly joyous holy city like Lateran, but rather a more gentle and reserved place.

Talulah realizes her ideals here, transforming this place into a utopian haven, where equality and freedom from oppression are achieved. The fast pace of the players and the slow pace of the natives are cleverly combined, preventing the reader from feeling overwhelmed.

Just like before his transmigration, this player city was named "Arcadia" by the players. For veteran players, this name carried a great deal of meaning. However, the player city that Bai Ye knew before his transmigration was built by the players themselves and was much smaller in scale than this one.

In the heart of the core city, another stone monument built by players has been erected, inscribed with a message in Common:

"Wherever you wish to go, Arcadia is by the moon. Wherever you are, Arcadia is your home."

……

Bai Ye had no idea how long this atmosphere would last.

Because both he and Talulah knew that they couldn't watch over the city forever; nothing lasts forever.

Although reluctant to admit it, Bai Ye pessimistically believes that human emotions, as they are called, will one day develop gaps. It is a sophistry that can easily breed betrayal due to the distortion of human interests.

Of course, Bai Ye is also a contradictory guy. He will also be willing to believe in things, after all, there are people like Talulah on this land.

There are no worries about the core city. It has been built quite well by Bai Ye, with windmills everywhere. The natives don't quite understand these things and feel that they are useless. After all, the core city's energy source is the stone coffin, which is still under research, but only a little bit of overflowing energy is enough to power the entire city.

However, the windmill has a completely different meaning for Bai Ye.

This is also why Bai Ye calls the core city Fengdu (Wind Capital).

Here, he can draw strength from the city continuously.

This is something that others will never understand.

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

Upon returning to the core city, Bai Ye did not alert anyone. He simply went to the basement of the central command tower and used the artificial intelligence Luna to check the windmill array and the condition of the stone coffin in the core city.

Although research on the sarcophagus was restarted, the results were not significant.

Dr. Kal'tsit intentionally limited the exploration and development of the sarcophagus, and Bai Ye was also worried that it would explode, like Ning Ning's detonator, blowing the entire core city into the sky. Therefore, he was also very restrained and careful in his work with this thing.

He then inspected the construction progress of mobile base stations in the core cities of Longmen and Chernobog.

Besides the "lobectomy" project being expensive, this is also a money-burning project. However, Bai Ye has no interest in accumulating wealth. He spends money when he has it and does other things when he doesn't. He is quite carefree.

After confirming that everything was normal, Bai Ye left the core city and headed to Lungmen with three deep-sea hunters.

His aircraft is still in the hangar of the Northern Cross Logistics Company.

Incidentally, Bai Ye also took two brand-new, modified power armors from the Lobotomy Institute.

However, the new version removed the overclocking mode, meaning commercial products no longer need such fancy and unstable features.
