Ark of the Immortal

drop!

After a sound, all the information about Chen appeared on the screen of the machine.

Including how many times Chen has made meritorious services, where she went to college before, when she started working in the Longmen Guards Bureau, and her family relationships.

After the prosecutor saw the machine appear, his eyes softened, and when he saw the column of Chen's family relationships at the end, his expression became serious again.

He slid it up and down for a while, then put the customs clearance document down, stamped it with another seal, and then handed the customs clearance document back to Chen.

Passed, next one.

He just glanced at Chen twice, and immediately turned his attention to the undead man behind him.

The undead man stepped forward and handed the customs clearance document from his armor to the prosecutor.

Then I'll go through the customs first and wait for you.

Chen and the undead man said hello and walked over first.

Before the undead man had time to look away, he heard the prosecutor in front of him exclaim in surprise.

I'm super?!

Then, the immortal man saw the expression on the prosecutor's head looking up at the immortal man. From the confusion at the beginning, to the disbelief and ecstasy that slowly widened his eyes.

The undead cannot understand how human emotions can change so quickly.

The prosecutor quickly calmed down his emotions, and after stamping the Immortal's customs clearance document, he secretly placed a small piece of paper on the customs clearance document.

When handing it to the undead man, he whispered to him.

Mr. Battle Knight, if it's convenient, could you please pick up the pen next to you and leave me a signature?

...

The undead man picked up the pen inserted in the pen holder next to him, left his own handwriting on the paper, and then handed the note back to the prosecutor.

The prosecutor carefully folded the note in half twice and put it in his inner pocket, then stretched out his hand, shook hands with the undead man again semi-forcedly, and reluctantly watched the undead man pass the test.

Not long after the undead passed the level, Onstein also passed the level.

The three of them walked forward along the passage. Wernstein lowered his head and it was a bit inconvenient to walk.

Your height makes it difficult to go anywhere, right? I've begun to wonder what you looked like when you passed the gantry border inspection.

Chen couldn't help laughing when he looked at Wenstein's appearance.

Onstein said somewhat helplessly.

There's no way. Although I can get bigger, I can't get smaller. When I was passing through the gantry border inspection, I was sitting on the corridor, and the enthusiastic police helped me go in and go through the formalities, and then handed my things to mine.

Onstein could still recall the low ceiling, and he suddenly felt that the ceiling in Rhode Island was already very high.

At least he was able to stretch when he stood up in the room. Aside from being a nuisance in the hallways, Rhode Island's facility space has been very friendly to Onstein.

There is just something wrong with the size of the normal facility.

Ever since Vulcan made Onstein a bench his size, he has to take his bench with him wherever he goes.

When you go to a bar, bring a bench, and when you go to a coffee shop, bring a bench.

For this, we have to thank the little girl Lan Po, who was the first to propose making a special bench for Wenstein.

The next step is to check your carry-on luggage. You should be asked to take off your armor then.

Chen said to the undead man beside him.

But I also know your habits. You will go through the security check with me later, and I will help you arrange these big and small things.

Thanks.

The undead man nodded in thanks.

Along the way, Chen's identity can indeed bring a lot of convenience. Longmen is a large city in Dayan, and Chen's identity certificate can enjoy privileges in many places. Looking at the prosecutor's look at Chen just now, you can also tell a lot. .

Of course, it was more because of Chen's confidentiality style marked with special symbols in the relatives column. That was the reason why the prosecutor looked at Chen not quite right.

Until now, no one knows who Chen's parents are. I only know that Chen is Wei Yanwu's descendant, and his status should be quite high.

I just don’t understand why Chen would choose to be a policeman, and also a senior superintendent of the Longmen Guards Bureau, putting himself in danger so many times.

It should just be that Wei Yanwu wanted to train Chen.

Maybe Chen himself has special ideas.

With Chen's identity certificate, the inspection of the undead was also relaxed a lot. When passing the customs, the undead did not even need to take off their helmets.

But the big sword on his back and the spiral sword on his waist still attract a lot of people's attention.

Not to mention Onstein, standing among ordinary people, he looked like a giant. The giant would always receive many fearful looks.

By the time they completed the entire process and officially entered Shang Shu territory, it was already the second night after they left Longmen.

In order to get through the border early, the three of them traveled all night last night without much rest.

The immortals and Wenstein can hold on, but Chen is an ordinary person, and she still needs to rest.

The three of them took it together and found a rest hotel in this small town built by the river at the entrance. They stayed there for one night and packed up tomorrow to see how they would cross the Shu Road.

After arriving at the inn and asking for an iron basin and some firewood as usual, the undead man comfortably inserted the spiral sword into the pile of firewood and ignited the flame.

boom!

The flames were lit, dispersing the cold air around the body. As the Spring Festival was approaching, there was already a lot of festive atmosphere in Shang Shu.

Chen sat by the bonfire, watching with some surprise as the undead lit the fire. At the same time, he took out the food he had brought with him and prepared to eat it.

Fire...

Wengstein meant something. He imitated the immortal, sitting comfortably next to the fire and squinting his eyes.

You also have this habit?

The undead man looked at Wenstein and chatted with him casually.

Onstein shook his head.

I'm not used to it, but when I see the flame, it's still your flame, and I always feel close to you.

As a protoss who prospered due to fire in the Age of Fire, he naturally has an obvious affinity for this initial fire.

Don't tell me, in the few days I've known you, sometimes I see some shadows of King Gwen in you.

Wengstein said something Chen didn't understand and glanced at the bag of dry food Chen took out from the package.

Chen saw that Wengstein wanted to have a taste and took the initiative to hand over a bag to Wengstein.

Wengstein showed a hearty smile and continued directly without being polite to Chen.

King Wu Xin, Ge Wen.

The immortal nodded, he had a very deep impression on this king.

But until now, the immortal can't explain clearly what he thinks of Gwen, the king.

In the past, he felt that Gwen was far away from him and beyond his reach.

But at the end of the first journey, he personally sent the king to death and passed on the First Fire.

Later, when he woke up again, he suddenly realized. Unknowingly, his power has surpassed that of many people. Even to the extent of standing side by side with those ancient gods.

And he himself has become a legend, the nameless immortal who started the path of inheriting the flame.

Have you met the king?

Ornstein looked at the undead man curiously.

He didn't disappear after he went to the initial furnace...ah, that's right.

Wengstein figured it out, nodded, and then bit off a large piece of dry food, chewed it twice in his mouth, and swallowed it into his stomach.

You should have seen it.

He died in my hands.

The immortal said.

Join me and become the first fire.

Um.

Werstein nodded, and silently threw the remaining half of the dry food into his mouth like a biscuit, chewed it a few times and then swallowed it.

When talking about this issue, the undead and Wenstein suddenly fell silent.

Chen didn't know whether he should open his mouth to change the topic, and the three of them fell into silence.

It wasn't until some time later that there were sporadic sounds outside the window, like something exploding, that the undead turned their attention to the window.

Those are firecrackers.

Onstein opened his mouth to explain the undead man's doubts.

As the Spring Festival approaches, people in Dayan will do many things at this time, one of which is to set off firecrackers. This is a tradition in Dayan. Children like to play with firecrackers. They are not only ritual tools, but also toys.

Mr. Wenstein knows Dayan very well?

Chen looked at Onstein in surprise.

I don't think I know them well. I have stayed in Dayan for a while before, so I have some contact with them.

Onstein seemed to have the idea of ​​changing the topic, and kept talking.

It is said that in the earliest days, firecrackers were used to drive away evil beasts. The sparks and sound of the explosions can scare away evil beasts that infest humans.

Evil beast?

The undead man didn't know much about the history of Great Yan, and he was very curious when he heard Onstein talking about this thing.

Is that a weapon?

That was true before, but not anymore.

Onstein nodded, then shook his head.

Now, firecrackers have become a traditional toy and ritual tool.

Um...

The undead man stared out the window, looking at the window where sparks flashed and the sound of explosions came from time to time, as if he was yearning for it.

What is it, shape?

There are many shapes, including round ones and elongated ones. There were fewer shapes in the past, but I heard that there are more and more of them now, and they are all kinds of weird.

Onstein thought about it as he spoke.

That is, a wire and a container. The container contains processed Source Stone dust that has been rendered harmless. As long as you ignite the wire with fire, it will explode after a while, making sounds and sparks.

The undead man was silent for a while, and then he looked at Wenstein.

Onstein also looked at the undead man, and both of them suddenly thought of something at the same time.

Flame pot?

Well...

Onstein paused and scratched his head.

That sounds like a good idea. It's just that after the firecrackers are lit, they will detonate automatically when the time is up.

Timed, flame pot.

Well, it's not a big problem if you understand it that way.

Ornstein also felt that using a flame pot as a metaphor was quite vivid when explaining it to the undead.

The undead man was silent for a while, then he got up, walked to the window, and opened the window.

The cold wind blew into the room and Chen shivered.

But the noise outside also became louder. The undead man leaned against the window and silently watched the children playing with ignition devices and artillery downstairs.

They either lit the firecrackers and threw them out, or they hid them in a small place and lit them again, having fun.

The light from the firecrackers lit up their faces in the darkness, full of excitement and happiness.

On the street, red lanterns hang high on the street lamps on both sides of the road, extending along the avenue to the end of the distant night.
