Ark of the Immortal

It sounds like a fantasy.

Well, you can understand it that way, but for us, dreams are not just an illusion, they are an extension of reality.

Gladia thought for a moment and said.

Let's put it this way, what we call dreams. It's like moving the current time forward by a few years or decades.

Such dreams are based on our understanding of reality, the facts we know, and the whispers we can hear in our ears.

I know that Mr. Undead, you and Skadi have a good relationship, so you should also know that Skadi has never been able to sleep well. Sometimes just a movement will wake her up.

This is true. When the undead man first met Skadi, Skadi asked him more than once where he bought the firewood, which actually had a soothing effect.

In fact, the firewood used by the undead is all ordinary firewood, but the flames are different and the people who raise the bonfire are also different.

And on those nights when she couldn't sleep peacefully, Skadi would always see that different future.

It's like a kind of prophetic dream, but this kind of dream will change as we know more.

Normally, we only enter dreams like that when we feel tired and have to go to sleep.

“We fight the nightmare in our minds to maintain our sanity, and it’s something we can’t escape.”

As Gladia spoke, she looked at Laurentina next to her.

Laurentina was very quiet and didn't say a word. After feeling Gladia's gaze, Laurentina just turned her head and tilted her head towards Gladia, looking at her without knowing why.

Although Laurentina's current state has stabilized, she is still at the interface between dreams and reality.

In her dreams, she will directly come into contact with many mysterious things. And this ring allows her to control her body with a branch of her mind during her sleep.

The biting curse ring on Laurentina's finger has exactly this function.

However, because of the influence of the Source Stone solution on her body, the dream is working on Laurentina's mind every minute.

Sometimes she would wake up briefly, but more often than not, she would be caught in a dream and have to sink into that trance.

So we have to go back to Agor to find a way. At least I know that there is something left somewhere that can maintain mental stability.

Regarding dreams, that's all Gladia said.

the doctor asked immediately.

What about the emergency sanity mixture? Have you tried it?

I tried it. When the ghost shark first came to Rhode Island, I tried to use something to maintain her mental stability.

Kelsey has the most say in this regard. After all, she was the attending doctor in the previous treatment of ghost sharks.

Without Kelsey, the ghost shark might not be able to survive the undead coming.

It's no use. The ghost shark's situation is different from yours. Her spirit is not incomplete, but more like it has fallen into rigidity and become a form of cocoon.

The metaphor of cocoon is very vivid, as if it is locked up and unable to achieve the reality of visual reality.

Is this so...

The doctor dragged his chin with his hand very naturally, and his thoughts soon began to wander.

All in all, this is something that every generation of deep-sea hunters will encounter. But in the past, it was not as serious as it is now. The whispers in the ears were not too frequent.

Gladia lowered her eyes and said.

Today, we no longer have the ability to sleep peacefully and enter that dream peacefully.

It's a curse, a curse that has followed the Deep Sea Hunters from the day we were born.

And now everything we know points to that city, our hometown.

Agor.

So, are there any deep-sea hunters left in Iberia?

After thinking briefly, the doctor immediately woke up and continued to ask for relevant details about the meeting.

No, I can guarantee that.

Gladia shook her head.

The deep-sea hunters are connected by blood, and within a certain range, we can sense each other's existence. And I have traveled through most of the borders in Iberia. Except for the looming traces left by Skadi, I chose to follow Kyle. I didn’t find any other traces of Ms. Xi’s arrival outside Rhode Island.”

If there are still deep-sea hunters wandering outside, then...

Gladia didn't say everything, but everyone understood what it meant.

Gladia just said that she can dream. There is no mention of what would have happened if he had not left the dreamland.

Everyone here knows what Laurentina once looked like.

If that was just a trivial matter, then the ending of the hunter who truly fell into a dream would be self-evident.

They have long since separated themselves from themselves, fallen into the deep sea, and transformed into beasts.

Then, I have obtained the qualifications for you to legally operate in Iberia.

Kelsey chose to speak at this time.

I made a deal with the Grand Inquisitor, and the result of the deal is you.

Kelsey pushed the token on the table to Gladia.

This time, the history of Iberia will be opened to you. If you have the confidence to find your way home from these fragmented histories, then...

Gladia stared at the lamp statue on the table, and she was about to take action.

But another white palm had already stretched out, holding the lamp statue in his hand.

Laurentina, who was still unconscious, took the lamp statue and held it tightly in her hands.

Although her consciousness was still chaotic, her intuition had already made the choice for her.

Gladia put away the hand she was about to extend, and then turned her gaze to Kelsey.

It looks like one of us has made a decision.

...

The meeting ended quickly. This meeting was nothing more than a cooperation witnessed by many parties.

Kelsey does not represent Rhode Island, but the Iberian Church. Her purpose is just to deliver the invitation letter to the deep-sea hunters.

Kelsey's personal thoughts are naturally very much looking forward to the deep-sea hunter being able to put aside his pride as an Agor and accept this invitation.

Facts have proved that although Gladia is arrogant, she understands her situation very well.

He didn't make stupid decisions just because of the so-called face.

The immortal came to listen as an insider.

Gladia's acquiescence to such behavior proved that she valued the undead and considered them as companions.

What's more, I'm afraid no one understands the meaning of Agor better than the Doctor and the Immortal.

The undead man did not stay long. He had to go back and sort out the fragments of memories he got when Minos picked up the remaining blade of the spiral sword.

Gladia also bowed to the doctor and Kelsey before leaving.

In the end, only the doctor, Kelsey, and Amiya were left in the entire conference room.

Neither the doctor nor Kelsey spoke, and the atmosphere was very strange.

Amiya obediently said that she still had documents to deal with, so she left first, leaving her time to the two adults.

When the door to the conference room closed, Kelsey also turned her head to the doctor.

Kelsey didn't know why, but after returning to Rhode Island, she felt that the familiar person in front of her seemed to have undergone some changes.

He seemed to have returned to his original appearance, but his strange gentleness was mixed with incomprehensible indifference.

This kind of indifference does not even make people feel chilly, but instead makes Kelsey feel relieved.

This feeling is very familiar, but also very strange.

you...

Just as Kelsey was about to speak, the doctor raised his hand.

He put his index finger to his lips and shook his head slightly at Kelsey.

I know you want to talk to me, Kelsey.

The doctor's tone when speaking to Kelsey was no longer the same as usual, with some pleading and caution.

But relaxation and exhaustion.

But now is not the time, you still forget who you are.

His words were slow and powerful, bit by bit piercing Kelsey's eardrums.

I'll wait for the day when you find the truth. Only then will you open the shell of spikes that have been born over thousands of years and reveal your original appearance.

387. Voyage

Naturally, there is still a lot of preparation before heading to Iberia. Gladia and the others will not return to their hometown without preparation.

Rhodes Island also needs to dispatch a manpower, and among them is a heavyweight.

Kelsey.

Yes, this time Kelsi is still in charge of Rhode Island's negotiations with Iberia and Agor. And this result turned out to be approved by the doctor.

You know, when it comes to the problem of Agor, the doctor with memory recovery is definitely the best candidate. But he did not go to Iberia himself, but gave this task to Kelsi.

And Kelsey actually came to the best conclusion after consulting with the doctor.

As for the doctor himself, according to him, he recently received an invitation from the head of the Silver Gray family and may go to Kjerag.

It is said that something big will happen to Kjerag. Even Chuxue, who has been staying in Rhode Island, returned to Kalan Snow Mountain after saying goodbye to the undead, including Jiao Feng.

Chuxue would come to find the immortal, of course, not because of the immortal himself, but because of the painter who was first angry in the immortal's heart.

As the current god of Kalan, the Dragon Girl Painter can be said to be the embodiment of Kalan's will. Of course, if you want to define it so simply, it really ignores the remnants of the Age of Fire.

However, for the undead, items from the Age of Fire are no longer so important.

After regaining some memories of the beginning of the Age of Terra, the undead's obsession with the Age of Fire is no longer so deep.

Naturally, this is due to the contribution of the Fire Girl, as well as the unremitting efforts of the new generation of humans like Doctors.

This is already a different era. There is no need to always stare at the past. People must always move forward.

The painter explained some things to Chuxue, and then Chuxue left with satisfaction.

Although the undead man is very interested in Kjerag's affairs, he also knows what is more important.

As for why Yin Hui didn't invite the undead, based on what Yin Hui asked Jiao Feng to lead, it can probably be understood that Yin Hui didn't think there was any need to use the power of the undead to build momentum for him.

What Yin Hui wants is a grand revenge. But this revenge must not be the rage that destroys Kjerag.

It wants to change Kjerag's current situation and allow Kjelag to completely come out of the closed state in the past, and the brains of Yin Hui and the doctor, as well as Yin Hui's accumulation so far, are enough to light the fuse. If the undead appeared in Kjerag, it might cause even greater panic.

Of course, Jiao Feng also said that Yin Hui has not met the undead for a long time. As the head of Shiva Ash, Silver Gray is very eager to reunite with the undead... no, to sit down and have a good talk again.

However, it is more like a conversation between friends.

The doctor's brain and what he saw and heard were exactly what Silver Gray needed most. As one of Rhode Island's most stable allies, the Shivaash family is naturally a help that cannot be ignored.

Therefore, Rhode Island's current main force plans to split into two groups, with Kelsey and the Undead heading to Iberia along with some Rhode Island operators and deep-sea hunters.

As for the doctor, he took Ace and several other elite operators to Kjerag.

Very rarely, only Amiya is left in charge of the overall situation on Rhodes Island.

The doctor is not worried about Amiya's abilities at all. Just like Kelsey left the job to Amiya when she left Rhode Island.

Even though these times are very tense, there is a dark cloud hanging over Victoria's head. But the doctor still believes that Amiya can handle everything.

In the short term, the regent of Cazdale will not take action against Victoria. He needs more preparations to sustain this premeditated attack.

However, I am not sure about this time. Amiya, you just need to stabilize the status quo. Even if there is any special incident, wait until I come back.

The doctor said this in his communication with Amiya before leaving.

I won't be gone for long. I'll be back before the next Victoria riot. Taking Mr. Undead with me.

After giving Amiya a shot of cardiotonic, the doctor left with Ace and others, leaving the back of an off-road vehicle behind.
