Ark of the Immortal

Ever since his awakening before Victoria's slumber, the undead had felt the presence of Traces.

At that time, he should still remember many previous memories. So I looked in different directions with pleasure, and felt my own flames from those places.

But at that time, he did not have enough ability to deal with these things while solving the Victoria riots. So he just glanced at Tracys who was hiding in the distance.

And when the undead man turned his attention, the aura over there immediately became panicked and disappeared after a moment. It seemed that he couldn't believe why he saw an undead person here, and then ran away.

The undead man only had a moment's memory of the scene at that time, and he could still remember that he seemed to have said something to Vina.

At that time, he thought Veena was very special. But today's immortals, no matter how they recall Vina, can't find anything in the Vina in their memories that deserves their special attention.

However, as the undead absorbed humanity, more and more abyss were burned. After the initial fire resuscitated, his memory became better and better.

The name Traces has been heard ever since the undead awakened.

Tracys, I remember, is Kazdaele, the regent?

The immortal said.

There is also his shadow in Victoria.

Let me add a few more words to you. Traces' influence is felt all over Terra. It's not just Kazdaele, Ursus, and Victoria.

Ling believed that the undead's understanding of Traces was not complete and clear enough, so he began to provide science education to the undead.

Before I continue, I want to ask you a question. Do you know about the two-king struggle for power in Kazdare that happened a few years ago?

Two kings, fighting for power?

The undead man was stunned for a moment. He was somewhat impressed, but he seemed to have never heard of it at all.

After all, the people he comes into contact with every day are people like Ace, Huang, and Kelsey. Although they are silent about the original war. But there will always be some information that is revealed vaguely.

Such as silver gray, such as Wei Yanwu. How could these people who have been paying attention to the international situation for a long time not know that Rhode Island's success was built on the Tower of Babel in the past?

The Tower of Babel is the organization founded by one of the two kings.

You mean Kazdaele's war. And those mercenaries?

The undead still have some understanding of this, all thanks to W and Ines.

After rescuing Ines, the Immortal also communicated with Ines in Rhode Island, just to learn about the Integration Movement and Tallulah.

However, Ines was not an insider and could only tell the immortal some relevant information.

This includes the origin of the Kazdaele mercenaries and why Kazdaele became like this.

Yes, but not entirely right.

Ling seemed to know a lot about the situation around the world, even though she only stayed in this quiet corner of Dayan.

I have communicated with many people in dreams...Ah. By the way, by the way, the power I inherited is poetry, and part of the influence of space and time. This part of the influence is embodied in my hands. Ability is just the dream.”

With that said, Ling stretched out his hand.

I saw a light stick slowly appearing in Ling's hand, accompanied by a little golden light.

At the end of the cane, a solitary lamp in the shape of a large flame hangs silently, emitting a soft light, like a guiding light in a dark dream.

My encounter with the fire girl came from my dream. Therefore, I have also interacted with many Terran people. I communicated with them in my dreams, or became them, and felt their sorrow. Joy and separation.”

Ling handed the lamp stick in his hand to the undead man.

The undead man weighed it and found that it weighed almost nothing. The immortal can also be distinguished from its material and properties. This is an object that is manifested by powerful power, not a real thing.

The war in Kazdaele has been around for a long time, not just during the two kings' separation period in the past few years. At least since I opened my eyes, Kazdaele has never maintained long-term peace.

Unlike Casimir, Ursus, and Great Flame. The Kazdahirs are like a puddle of sand on the seashore. They may be able to build castles, but as soon as another voice washes away, they will become a puddle again. Loose sand.”

The reason is the rebellion and resistance that the Kazdare people seem to be born with. Of course, there are other reasons.

As Ling spoke, a humanoid figure appeared in his hand as if it were a holographic projection.

The undead man looked over and saw that the man had demon-like horns on his head, but other features could not be seen clearly.

What do you think are the characteristics of the Sakaz race?

The undead were not impressed by Sarkaz. But almost all of the people I remember were infected with Originium Disease.

And judging from the records of Rhode Island, Sakaz patients are the most numerous.

Including places like Casimir and Victoria, the Sakaz race appears as the group with the largest number of infected people.

High probability, infection, Originium Disease.

This is the only impression I have of the immortal. And this impression was formed under the indoctrination of others.

Yes. So this also causes a problem.

Ling nodded and continued.

As the almost universally recognized homeland of the Sarkazi people, Kazdaele was unable to establish a long-lasting nation while its citizens were widely infected with Originium. Many struggles arose as a result.

Ling said as he dispersed the projection in her hand.

However, if we want to investigate why the Sakaz are the race most susceptible to ore disease, we have to put this issue to a long time ago.

I only have speculations in my mind and no definite answer. But perhaps they are the first race to come into contact with the abyss, and they may also be the race most profoundly affected by the abyss.

Everyone present had no reaction to Ling's conclusion, except Greyhound.

Greyhound is a Sarkaz. He also participated in the War of Two Kings and experienced the environment and atmosphere.

Greyhound didn't say anything about Ling's previous remarks. But when Ling mentioned this, Greyhound couldn't help but speak.

Wait a minute...Shangxian, you mean those things that the Great Flame people call demon species have influenced Sakaz?

Well...if it's just that kind of thing, it can't be called an abyss. At most, it's just a stray fragment that hasn't even been received by the group consciousness.

Ling shook her head and she explained.

I'm not talking about the existing ones, but what happened in the past, before history was recorded.

Saying this, Ling turned to look at the undead man and said.

Let's talk about the battle between the two kings first. In addition to Tracys, there is another king who also inherits the ancient royal bloodline of Kazdaele. She is a woman, and many people I dream about have a crush on her. It has a very high reputation.”

She is a gentle king, a king who can make everyone bow to her, but not just a humble servant, but a king who walks with her.

However, the final loser is still the king. Many people even hold the view that her closest military advisor betrayed her and pierced her chest with a sword.

Ling looked at the greyhound next to her and said.

You're from Rhode Island, you should know that.

yes.

The gray dog ​​also nodded calmly.

At the beginning, many people thought that it was the doctor who killed Wang. Even Dr. Kelsey had such an idea, but I don't think so.

The undead man couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the gray dog.

No wonder Greyhound has good skills. Judging from his words, he should be an old Rhode Island employee who participated in that war.

very good.

Ling nodded with satisfaction and she continued.

It seems that you are also a remnant from the Tower of Babel period, so you will not doubt the doctor.

The Doctor has a prominent reputation throughout Terra. Perhaps this reputation is not very good, but no one will question his ability. His precise grasp of the battlefield and terrifying decision-making ability can be called an evil spirit.

There is no need for such a person to hide around the king for so long. He didn't even take action when he had already gained the king's trust. He had to wait until the momentum of the Tower of Babel rose again, and then he killed him unexpectedly. That king? I don’t think so, that would be too stupid.”

You have already met these people in Rhode Island, so naturally you have your own evaluation of them.

Ling looked at the undead man again.

What do you think the capabilities of Rhode Island's current manpower are?

...

The immortal thought for a moment and then spoke.

To be honest, it's very weak.

But as a mortal?

Ling added.

Lower your sights to the level of ordinary people, not old people like us.

good.

The immortal said bluntly.

Combat strength, fighting spirit, and philosophy are all excellent.

Well, your evaluation is very high. Then I would like to add that when Rhode Island was not Rhode Island, but the Tower of Babel, they had more manpower. They had the doctor in tactics, and in the hearts of the people With that king, there are also elite talents such as Kelsey in terms of strength. The army also responds to the call, and many people are willing to follow them.

Ling raised his eyebrows.

But they still lost. Not only were they evenly matched with Tracys in terms of battle situation. They even failed to meet the current regent.

This is also the reason why many people can't figure it out.

What Traces had was nothing more than the leftovers of the old dynasty and the group of pardoners that was full of Kazdaele's local religious character.

There are no famous generals and no powerful allies. There is no support from the vast majority of infected people in Kazdel.

In many people's minds, he is a real tyrant.

How did such a person win the national war? Can it even cause the opponent's king to die and the Tower of Babel to collapse?

This is really a bit of destiny. But it was clear that his opponent was more destiny than he seemed.

I really don't know why that gentle king died. But why was Tracys like this able to have the confidence to fight back and forth with the Tower of Babel camp, which seemed to be full of experts?

As Ling spoke, her expression gradually became serious.

Then we have to ask what exactly Tracy found in his hometown.

The immortal man sat up straight unconsciously and subconsciously answered.

Abyss Shard.

At least some of the passages that can connect to the abyss are the same as those suppressed by Dayan and rejected by Ursus in the north.

Ling said.

Furthermore, maybe Tracys himself has long been trapped in the temptation of the abyss and is unable to extricate himself.

Regarding Ling's inference, the immortal couldn't believe it anymore.

This reason must also be attributed to Tallulah. To be precise, it is the black snake that possesses Tallulah.

In the core city of Chernobog, when the undead were attacking Tallulah.

Before Black Snake was defeated, he shouted Tracy's name to the sky and said that there was an agreement between the two of them.

Later, Tracys couldn't hold his breath and took action to save the black snake.

It was just that Tallulah's temporary counterattack exceeded their expectations, and the temporary passage opened by Traces not only failed to save the black snake.

After killing the black snake, the undead was also asked to follow the passage and smash a thunder gun out, and then ran away in despair.

There is no doubt that Tracys is definitely on the side of the abyss.

After Trasis captured Kazdaele, he immediately began to secretly infiltrate other countries.

Ling made an analogy.

Victoria, a country that doesn't even have a king now, was the first target of Tracy's attack. And he was also behind this integration movement incident. Then I want to tell you truthfully, Tracy's hand has already reached into the Great Flame.

Ling's tone became more serious.

Moreover, his purpose is not to simply subvert the country. Instead, he sets his sights on the most important things in these countries.

It was only then that the undead man realized what he was doing and reacted.

The Cave of Ten Thousand Demons?

right.

The blue hair swayed with Ling's nod.

The actions of those who were eroded by the abyss must be for the sake of greater chaos. And today's demon species incident is just an introduction. The southern expedition has not been assembled for a long time, and Yumen Pass has not gone north. It is precisely because of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave Without stability, these matters have been put on hold for the time being.”
