Ark of the Immortal

Both of them are typical people who don't care about things, but if something big happens, the first people to consider dispatching operators will definitely be these two senior operators.

Skadi didn't ask much, and just told the two that he would temporarily follow Rhode Island's actions, including participating in this undead competition.

When Dubin heard that Skadi hadn't signed up yet, he took her to the Temple of Heroes to fill out the form.

After returning, Dupin wanted to arrange for Skadi to live with them, but it was still a bit troublesome to find a room for her alone.

During the Undead Competition, the capacity of the entire Minos was at full capacity, let alone Jasenus as the core.

Today, the number of people in Yasenus has exceeded twice that of the past, and I don’t know how many tourists come here.

Therefore, Skadi had no choice but to go to the undead to see if they could squeeze in one more person.

The result is of course yes. After all, the undead are people who live in the warehouse. No matter how good the warehouse here is, it can still accommodate one more person if he wants to.

When they first met the Immortal, the Immortal was still coaching Melanza and Fen.

When it was close to noon, Maria and the others finished their training, and the Immortal put the children back to eat and asked them to come back in the afternoon.

Including Bloodthorn.

Bloodthorn is directly regarded as the ultimate tool man by the undead. He is quite happy. Watching Maria's progress little by little, he has a strong sense of participation.

At this time, the undead finally had time to chat with Skadi.

Mission, completed?

The undead knew that Skati had left Rhode Island on a mission, but now that he came to Minos, it was impossible for him to go on a mission.

In other words, Skati's coming to Minos should be the same as the situation in Kjerag. It was a private action.

Um.

Skadi nodded.

I went to investigate some things around Iberia and met an old friend. She told me that Minos might have a way to cure ghost sharks, so I came here.

Skadi wouldn't hide anything from the undead.

For her, besides the deep-sea hunters, there are partners who can share secrets and dangers. This is a blessing for a hunter who comes out of the deep sea.

Iberia.

When the undead man heard this name, he thought about it and managed to find the place name in his mind.

nation?

The state can also be said to be a poor imitator.

Skadi commented on Iberia, she paused and then spoke.

However, there are still some people who can understand their situation and seek a way out. But I am not optimistic about it.

The immortal nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Skadi still wanted to talk to the undead.

Perhaps it was because of Gladia's appearance that Skadi's thinking became more active.

Have you ever heard of the Great Silence?

No.

The undead man shook his head.

His impression of Iberia only stayed with the operators.

When he was in Rhode Island, there were several operators who often greeted him, including operators from Iberia.

At that time, I was talking to the undead man, and there were many operators who showed favor to him. But there was an operator who liked the undead very much and often gave them small gifts.

It seemed to be some kind of seafood. The undead accepted it, but most of it was eaten by the kid Ceobe.

The operator didn't care, and brought something to the undead when he had the opportunity, and the undead also remembered some of his information.

Well... the Great Silence is a disaster related to Iberia. For Iberians, it is a past that cannot be forgotten. For me.

Skadi looked at the undead man, and she spoke slowly.

It's an ending and a new beginning.

That time, Skadi personally killed a god among the sea descendants, together with her fellow deep-sea hunters.

During that battle, Skadi witnessed his companions dying in front of him one after another.

And what they could do was only get close to the nest, not even go deep.

In the end, at the cost of almost total annihilation, Skadi personally killed a high-level species among the heirs who went out to fight.

But in Skadi's recollection, such behavior was not something he wanted to kill himself.

Instead, when Skadi pierced the soft body with the sword, she strangely felt the warmth coming from a mother's embrace.

Bathed in the blood that filled the entire sea, Skadi's mind fell into a trance, and she could no longer recall what happened after that.

When she regained consciousness, she was already in the shallow sea, and she only needed to raise her head to break through the water and see the dim and quiet stars.

From then on, there were whispers in her ears.

It was not a threat, but a gentle call, calling her on the way home.

Skadi didn't feel that she was one of them, but she was constantly told by old friends from her hometown.

Come with me, let's go home.

Skadi resisted such an ending. She had always regarded herself as a deep-sea hunter, and she had never believed the whispers in her ears.

But the call did torture her.

That period was Skadi's most desperate moment.

No, maybe Skadi didn't see that situation as hopeless. For her, it was just the beginning of loneliness.

It wasn't until she found the ghost shark that she found some solace in this loneliness.

Therefore, she will try her best to find a way to restore the ghost shark to normal.

So she traveled across the entire continent of Terra, looking for the secrets hidden under the times, and got acquainted with everyone on Rhode Island.

Finally, in Kjerag's Kalan, I met the undead.

Just the moment the undead man looked over, Skadi noticed that the call in his ear was like seeing a natural enemy.

After a scream, she disappeared completely. Even the heirs in the sea rarely appeared in front of her, let alone actively hunted Skadi.

But all this continued until this mission.

She met Gladia, but Gladia didn't seem to want to talk to her much.

Gladia directed Skadi to Minos, and Skadi came.

But Skadi always felt that what Gladia said was more than that simple.

Why Minos? And the undead also happened to be in Minos.

If what Gladia was talking about was the immortal, then Skadi would have turned to the immortal for help a long time ago.

The Great Silence destroyed Iberia's glory so far. The golden age that Iberians regarded as proud was wiped out overnight.

Skadi was talking about these old things, but she didn't really want the undead to know about them.

She just wanted to find someone to talk to, especially when she was close to the undead, Skadi could feel a strange warmth.

The undead does not look like a person, but a ball of fire.

To ordinary people, Iberia is nothing. But it is inextricably related to the deep sea, the deep sea hunters, and Agor.

The undead man couldn't help but listen attentively.

The undead are aware of the abnormality on Skadi's body.

Those monsters that gave him the feeling of being dense and deep left a very deep impression on the undead.

Even though they may not be the same type as the abyss creatures common to the undead, they are definitely related.

Recently, the situation around Iberia is not optimistic. I found some clues in Iberia.

Skadi considered the wording and finally extended the invitation.

When the Minos incident is over, I would like to ask you to accompany me on a trip to Iberia. Dr. Kelsey should also have new clues by then.

good.

Without any hesitation, the undead agreed to Skadi's request.

Haihe, the undead are also curious.

Of course, it would be better if you could burn more.

The communication between the two was so efficient, and the matter was concluded in a few simple words.

In a way, apart from the Doctor, the Rhode Island operator who has the most affinity with the undead may be Skadi.

Skadi sat down by the campfire and placed the weapon in his hand against the undead sword.

She moved another box over, leaned against it and closed her eyes to rest.

The break passed quickly.

With Maria and Melantha back, they started teaching again.

When night fell, the immortals let a few people go back to rest.

This is a good way to get them into fighting condition. As long as they can take a good bath and get some rest tonight, their condition will definitely not be bad tomorrow.

Unfortunately, one night before the opening of the Immortal Competition, some people still couldn't sleep well.

Melantha and Ceob fell asleep in the same bed. Keob slept soundly holding Melantha's arm, but she obediently did not bite it.

Melanza herself had insomnia for a long time, and could not fall asleep until late at night.

As for Maria, her state is a bit like Melanza's state a few days ago.

Thinking that the undead would look at her, Maria became a little nervous.

After all, they are still just children, so it is normal to have such worries.

Bloodthorn slept quite soundly, heartlessly. Across the room, Dubin could hear Bloodthorn snoring.

Early the next morning, Skadi heard the sound of the undead adjusting their armor.

She opened her sleepy eyes, put aside the sword in her arms, and arranged her hair randomly with her hands.

Um...morning?

I fell asleep and forgot about time again.

The bonfire raised by the undead is like magic, allowing Skadi to temporarily transform from a deep-sea hunter into an ordinary girl.

Get ready to compete, little girl from Agor.

Onstein put the breakfast he bought early in the morning on top of the box that Skadi was leaning against, telling her to wake up.

The undead man took the firewood, broke it into pieces and threw it into the bonfire.

We may spend a day at the Temple of Heroes today. Therefore, the bonfire must be burned in advance. The undead do not want to wait until they come back to find that the bonfire is extinguished.

When Melanza and the others were ready and came to inform the undead that they were ready to set off, Skadi got up from the ground.

Putting on his coat and carrying his sword, Skadi followed the undead figure.

The group of people walked towards the Temple of the Twelve Heroes.

In front of the Twelve Heroes Temple.

In the early morning, there were spectators who came early to reserve seats.

The Minoan Forum did not restrict admission, and everyone could come to watch the battle celebrations.

The priests believed that this was an activity to worship the gods and that everyone should be eligible to participate. So charging tickets has become a sacrilegious act.

Of course, there won’t be that many locations.

The priests set up a special camera drone, which was linked to the entire screen and could broadcast the competition scene in real time.

This can be considered a national event.

Some wise priests even hired photographers and editors to record and edit the scenes of the undead competition, and then distribute them to various countries.
