Ark of the Immortal

So, Hedley widened the crack in the door and let the dark figure walk into the door from the dim street.

Hedley cautiously put his head out again and glanced at the street. After making sure that no one was looking at them anymore and that Hedley himself was not aware of the gaze, he closed the door.

As soon as he closed the door and turned around, Hedley saw the woman lift the hood that was lying on her head.

How did you get in?

Hedley had not seen this friend for a long time. His tone was calm, but there was a slight surprise in his expression.

Ines immediately turned off the lights in Hedley's room after entering the door, and then she breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a low voice.

Is there water?

Yes, wait.

Hedley went to the cupboard and found another dusty cup. He wiped it with a relatively clean cloth and poured her a glass of cold water from the kettle.

After Ines drank the glass of water, she took a breath, closed her eyes and felt the moisture in her throat, and then slowly opened her eyes.

The royal city is under martial law. There are so many patrols outside. Did you sneak in during the defense change?

Hedley checked the windows and curtains, then turned around and continued to ask.

Ines shook her head and said.

W gave me the city defense map and found a gap to sneak in. No one should be following me.

Okay, just be safe.

Hedley did not simply confirm Ines's route, but used her route to determine whether it would affect him.

This is not selfish, and he has no intention of betraying his companions.

Ines knew in her heart that coming to Hedley now was also an act of dragging Hedley into trouble.

If discovered, Hedley would have to hand her over.

Because Hedley was the most unsafe intermediate station among the three of them.

What did W tell you? Didn't she go out on a mission?

Hedley also met W in the first few days after returning to Kazdaele.

At that time, W, guided by the Pardoner, went all the way to the Royal City to meet the regent.

The two people's eyes met, and they just said hello with their eyes, and then Hedley never had the chance to meet W again.

It wasn't until a few weeks ago that Hedley stepped on an unnatural bump under the carpet at the door of his room that he discovered a letter hidden under the carpet.

It was left by W.

After meeting the regent, Tracys did not embarrass W. On the contrary, he seemed to be very considerate of W's failure and believed that it was not easy for her to escape unscathed.

This is similar to W's expectation. After all, she is the only one who can survive the wounds caused by the undead. At this point, there was no way Tracys could just smash such a useful tool to pieces.

However, Tracy immediately sent W out to perform the mission.

W did not directly state the goal of his mission. He only said that he would ask a friend to come to Hedley for a while.

W didn't stay in the Royal City for long. She didn't have enough time to find out the current movements of Kazdel and the Regent. She needed more information about the Royal City.

Sure enough, after a while, Ines, who was originally a trio and now works in Rhode Island to disguise her identity, came to Kazdaele and found Hedley.

W passed by Rhode Island and left a mark for me, asking me to go out and talk to her.

Ines said.

She gave me a city defense map of the royal city and told me your current location. Then she left Rhode Island. She said she was going to Great Yan.

Da Yan?

Hedley frowned immediately when he heard the name of this country.

As far as I know, Regent... Traces has no plans to target Great Yan in the near future. His hand is still on Victoria's side. Then he is preparing to attack Casimir.

There was one sentence Hedley did not say.

Great Yan is the most mysterious country on the entire continent of Terra. It is impossible for Traces to directly find a way to cause trouble in Great Yan without making any preparations. Once his deeds are exposed, Dayan's anger will be no less than that of Ursus.

Ines shook her head and said.

Usas had a conservative attitude towards Chernobog. He even gave up on Chernobog's defense very simply. Afterwards, he simply condemned it, and then turned around and began to suppress the infected people inside. Now Usas Si doesn’t have the energy to take care of Traces, and the same goes for Dayan.”

W told me that civil strife was imminent in Dayan. She was ordered to go to Dayan in order to add a fire to Dayan. This fire does not need to actually burn, as long as the seeds are left, it will explode on its own at the appropriate time. Come out. This is also the task given to her by Traces.

Ines said again.

Also, there are some people in Traisis within Dayan who seem to have developed... believers through some special means? In short, these people have abandoned Dayan's own ancestral beliefs. If Dayan can be brought to a standstill because of this, . Even if it takes several years to recover, it gives Tracy the guarantee to implement his plan.

Great inflammation is not simple. Tracy’s spokesperson has expressed concerns about the Great Inflammation at meetings more than once.

Trasis's purpose currently seems to be to imitate the ancient Kazdael king, sweep across Terra, and integrate all forces.

But Hedley couldn't see Tracy's confidence. He didn't understand why Tracy had the confidence to do such a thing.

Not to mention too much, let’s just talk about Ursus and Great Yan. These two behemoths cannot just sit back and watch Kazdel expand outward.

You know, Kazdel is located south of the middle between Ursus and Great Yan.

But as Tracys thought, even the integration movement didn't really happen.

But after experiencing the turmoil of the integration movement, Usas did not show its tough stance as before.

Hedley couldn't understand why Ursus was so rare that he didn't get angry.

Now, Tracys has set his sights on Dayan again.

The task that W has to perform may force Dayan to focus his eyes inside himself?

In this way, with the two behemoths trapped in their own territory, Kazdel had enough energy to aim his sights to the west.

No wonder Tracy asked Hedley to focus on the management and integration of mercenaries. These brave and capable mercenaries may not be good at facing large-scale national wars. However, he is a first-class expert in fighting tug-of-war and small-scale battles when others are looking down upon him.

Actually... it's more than that.

Ines hesitated a little, but still spoke.

Remember, I told you that Tallulah seemed to have two consciousnesses in her body?

I remember.

Of course Hedley remembered that when Ines was almost killed, Talulah took action and found someone to intercept and kill Ines.

W witnessed most of Rhode Island's frontal attack on Core City.

Ines said.

She said that she suspected that Traces had been complicit with something unclean, just like Tallulah.

Dirty stuff?

Hedley didn't understand what unclean things were.

A ghostly thing? Is it possessed by some kind of ghost?

It doesn't count...

Ines didn't know how to explain it to Hedley.

She didn't believe it at first, but during the battle to rescue the doctor in Rhodes Island, she saw with her own eyes the undead's thunder gun piercing the sky. In the battle records in the Rhodes Island reference room, I saw Ace and his team's description of the battle to hunt Tallulah.

Those things that the elite operators of Rhodes Island call demons and the undead people call abyss. It had a great impact on Ines's heart.

For the first time, she believed that there might really be things like gods and ghosts in this world.

All in all, what Tracys is going to do is definitely not fantastic.

Ines concluded.

What W needs you to do now is to keep an eye on where Tracy's hands and feet are going to stretch. Keep in touch regularly. You can no longer do your own things as you did before. You only breathed once every few months.

Ines took out a device from her body and handed it to Hedley.

This is a special communicator made by Rhode Island. It can open communication channels regularly and bypass the communication network you are in. With Rhode Island as the central base, it connects the special channels at both ends.

W has one, I have one, and I'll give this to you. Every Sunday night for five minutes starting at 12 o'clock, the channel will be open, and it can transmit a small number of files and pictures, and can also communicate stably.

Hedley also realized this.

After all, there is an information gap between the three people, and the situation now is even different from the past.

If you continue to follow your old habits, you might find that one or two of the three are missing at some point.

I see.

With that said, Hedley took the small communicator handed over by Ines and put it away.

After thinking for a while, Ines added.

Also, I have officially joined Rhode Island.

? Surprise flashed across Hedley's face.

Do you also believe what Rhode Island said?

No.

Ines shook her head and said.

Rhode Island's theory may be an extension of that king. But they can never be called a qualified successor until the doctor returns.

Compared with that old woman Kelsey, I believe in the doctor known as the evil spirit, I believe in W's judgment, and I believe in a person's strength.

who?

Hedley was even more surprised. Hedley would also be afraid of the evil spirit of the Tower of Babel.

But if it comes to strength, will Ines be impressed by someone's strength?

Ines whispered.

War Knight, Immortal.

...

On the other side, Dayan, Shang Shu.

The difficulty of secretly infiltrating into Great Yan exceeds any infiltration mission that W has encountered before.

In Dayan, all information will be collected and processed. If you want to walk in Dayan, W has to break the troops he brought into pieces. At the same time, ensure contact with the local Kazdaele King's Army.

But even for the elites under the Regent, it would be hellish to maintain their activities in Great Yan for a long time.

Hearing that there was such a colleague who was able to complete a hidden mission in Shang Shu for two years, and could often pass back some official news about Dayan, W naturally realized how powerful he was.

But when W arrived at the scheduled meeting place, she couldn't help but frown.

It was already ten minutes past the scheduled time, and there was no one there except her.

And, what puzzled her the most was.

Why did they meet in front of the office in Rhode Island?

Staring at the dilapidated Rhode Island office sign, W narrowed his eyes. The hand holding the knife hidden in his waist could not help but tighten a little more.

Rhode Island?

That's a bit interesting.

293. The king who fell to the dark side

The Immortal and Greyhound, who were still chatting in the underground nightclub several hundred meters away from the Rhode Island office, naturally didn't know that someone would come to visit the Rhode Island office specifically at this time.

And the immortal also knows W.

They were still discussing the name Ling mentioned, the current king of Kazdaele.

The undead heard Traces' name again, and his reaction was not surprising.

Just like what is repeatedly described in those story books, behind many tragic stories, there is the shadow of the same big devil.

However, among the undead, Traces is not considered a big devil at all.

At best, it's just a dog that doesn't even have the courage to appear in front of the undead.

The undead had met Tracys a long time ago.
