Ark of the Immortal

"I also wanted to work hard to change, but I didn't have any talent."

"Don't you know, I, Kos, was one of the top students in the Knight School when I was young. Whether it was theoretical classes or practical classes, I was the one who could get scholarships."

"After I came out of the knight school, I registered as an independent knight, hoping to have a place in the world of knights through my own efforts."

"But when I entered the world of knight competition, I realized that I was nothing."

"The support the company can provide is too huge, whether it's training, food, or equipment. It's not something I can afford personally."

Kos glanced at his hands mockingly.

These hands also used to hold swords every day and practice late at night in the training ground.

"Occasionally you can win, but other times, besides losing, you still lose."

"Coupled with the company's suppression of independent knights, the current knights can almost only follow the company's path. It is sheer fantasy to compete as independent knights."

"Gradually, I began to have the idea of ​​withdrawing. Coupled with the fact that my parents are old, I can no longer let myself do what I want to do."

"So, after a night of thinking, I went through the formalities with the Knights Association, withdrew from the competition knights, and participated in the operation of Casimir's machine as a knight citizen."

"I gradually got used to the existing system. I watched the competitive knights wearing various advanced equipment provided by the company and fighting on the field. I even became the agent behind those competitive knights, handling chores for them."

"After the Knights of Glory left Casimir, I felt that this was the end of the knightly competition. The knightly novels of my childhood were already a thing of the past. They were fairy tales that the old knights would tell to the younger generations by the fire late at night. "

Kos looked at the undead man, his eyes showing hope.

"But you are different, old man. You look like you stepped out of a chivalry novel."

"Using the most ordinary weapons and armor, move forward indomitably. A foundation that is so solid that it cannot be understood, and the courage and confidence to be able to fight against many."

"The most important thing is that you have not accepted help from any company so far, and you have used your own strength to confront the suppression of the business alliance head-on."

"You want to quit the company and step onto the stage of the Majors as an independent knight. This suddenly reminds me of those knight novels I read when I was a kid."

Kos's face was filled with nostalgia. He still remembered his mother holding a storybook when he was a child. Before he goes to bed, he always reads a short story to him.

The undead are like those protagonists, alone, sticking to their creed and defeating all invading evil enemies!

Kos just kept looking up at those radiant backs.

But reality forced him to lower his head, look at the heavy reality, and make a compromise.

"Old man, you must win!!"

This middle-aged social beast suddenly became inexplicably ignited. For the first time, he dared to reach out and grab the undead man's shoulder.

"When you become an independent knight, you must be like the shield you use! Go win a major championship and swell the faces of those companies! Let them take a good look! Knights are not just props for them to play with! Knights also have their own persistence and honor!"

After talking so much, even the thick-skinned Kos felt a little embarrassed.

He sat back with a smile.

"Anyway, old man, just find a way to keep moving forward. Leave the matter of quitting the company to me!"

There are obviously so many things to deal with ahead, but Kos is talking grandly.

Fran sighed and got busy next.

"Don't sigh?! When these things are over, I'll treat you to a drink!"

"Okay, okay, whatever you say is okay, boss."

Kos knocked Fran on the head, and Fran could only hold his head, pouted his already big face, and agreed.

The undead man had been listening carefully to what Kos said.

Seeing Kos teaching Fran over there, the undead man nodded and said.

"good."

This is a deal. Cos solves the problems for the undead that he is not good at solving, and the undead brings Cos's vision to the stage that Cos dreams of.

Just like the superior knight who entrusted his dream to him thousands of years ago.

This time, the Immortal wanted him to see his dream come true.

40. Exit of the Immortal Legend

At noon the next day, the entire Casimir exploded.

There is no other reason. The immortal legend, the retro knight who won 25 consecutive games without losing a single game, announced his withdrawal from Chengjin Company.

Since noon, reporters from all news companies have been squatting outside the villa where the undead live.

Although no one dared to knock on the door, the villa was already surrounded by water.

No one can understand why such a powerful knight, who has no stain even now, would give up his great future and quit Chengjin Company at the peak of his career.

This not only means that Chengjin Company has lost a powerful knight, but also means that the Immortal voluntarily gave up his current status as a competition knight and gave up all his points.

Even if he wants to register as an independent knight, he needs to start playing the game from scratch.

Moreover, without the support of the company, it has become an undead worry to get complete post-match equipment maintenance work.

But the person in charge of Chengjin Company didn’t say much.

They just announced the matter and left in a hurry. The door of Chengjin Company was also closed that day and did not open.

Everyone who wanted to get information from the company was disappointed.

This resulted in more and more people surrounding the undead door, and among these people, Maena Linguang, who had previously invited the undead to be a guest.

He was also puzzled to understand why this competition knight suddenly quit the company even though he had promised to participate until the end.

And the most important thing is, no one forced him?

Based on the strength he has shown, Chengjin Company is eager to hold him in its palms.

Even if he wanted to be brothers with the company boss, no one would dare to say anything.

In other words, this decision should be made by himself.

That makes it even more difficult to figure it out?

If you don't make any money, what are you going to do? This doesn’t make sense!

Just when these reporters were surrounding the Immortal's home, two men walked out of the back door of Chengjin Company.

Each of them held a cardboard box in their hands. Inside the cardboard box were all the things they kept in the company.

Naturally it’s Cos and Fran.

The two of them were scolded first, and all the anger their boss suffered from the board of directors and the boss was thrown at them.

Then his salary for that month was deducted, and finally he was summarily fired.

Just because Kos played the most supportive role in the entire undead withdrawal incident.

This is completely different from his previous sophisticated and smooth appearance, more like a dazed young man.

He is indeed quite capable, breaking through at every level and looking for connections here and there.

He was stunned to ask him to explain the matter to his boss before the company's senior management knew about it, and to get his boss to agree to immediately terminate the contract with the undead.

However, this incident also consumed all the remaining connections on his path. To put it bluntly, he is just an unemployed vagrant now, and those friends who had business contacts in the past will no longer give him face.

But this step Coase took was extremely critical.

If Cos hadn't solved this problem overnight, the company's senior management would have stuck with Immortal and delayed the termination of the contract when they heard about Immortal's decision to withdraw.

This will not only affect the time for Immortal to register as an independent knight, but will also make his time to compete in the points competition more urgent.

If they are stuck and terminate their contract two days before the end of the Major. Even if the Immortals are powerful, they can't beat it. If they don't have enough points, they can't beat it just by relying on their strength.

"Boss, where are you going now?"

Fran threw a toffee into his mouth before going out. He sipped it while following Kos out.

"where to?"

Kos put the cardboard box in his hand on the ground and stretched.

"Uh-ha... Go home, where else can you go."

Kos took out the cigarette case with only one cigarette left in his inner bag, took out the cigarette, lit it, and then threw the cigarette case into the trash can nearby.

"We can no longer stay in the company, and the old man plans to become an independent knight. Is it possible that we should be asked to serve as his retinue?"

Kos smiled and took a deep drag on his cigarette.

"Although, it's not impossible, but people probably don't want us two followers. We haven't done much except looking for firewood."

Kos felt quite relaxed.

"The car is still at home. We can't drive the company-issued car. Let's walk back."

Kos finished the cigarette in his mouth in two puffs, stamped it out on the ground and threw it into the trash can nearby.

He picked up the carton and took Fran back to the apartment they rented.

Kos walked quite easily, but there was a lot of Fran behind him, and he felt tired even after taking two steps.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute! Huh, boss, wait a minute!"

Fran sat down on a stairway in the back and put down the cardboard box in his hand.

Kos looked back and could only walk back helplessly and sit down next to Fran.

"I told you to eat less. Look at you now, you can't even walk."

Fran smiled sheepishly.

When he had a car before, he didn't find it too troublesome. Now that he doesn't have a car, he feels tired even after walking for a few minutes carrying his things.

After sitting for a while, Fran touched his pocket twice, and then looked back.

"Boss, I'm going to buy a bottle of water. Do you want it?"

"Go, go, go, I know you are out of candy, go buy it quickly! Bring me a bottle."

"Hey, let's go!"

Fran stood up from the steps and walked into the convenience store behind him.

Kos reached into his inner bag and waited, unable to resist taking out a cigarette to smoke.

But he touched it but couldn't find it, and then he remembered that he had just finished the last one.

Just when he was about to turn around and ask Fran to help him buy another pack of cigarettes, his hand touched something.

Kos took the thing out of the inner bag in confusion.

It's a note.

He unfolded it and saw a series of numbers on it.

Ha, Kos remembered.

Isn't this the lottery ticket I bought before?

Kos shook his head, turned around and was about to walk into the convenience store to buy a pack of cigarettes.

As soon as I turned around, I saw the lottery board hanging at the door of the convenience store.

"Oh, the lottery was drawn last time?"

Kos couldn't help but glance.

"48762...?"

He always felt that this string of numbers was somewhat familiar.

The steps stopped on their own, and subconsciously picked up the lottery ticket in his hand, walked into the lottery board, and unfolded the lottery paper.

"48762...1345..."

"Boss?"

Fran walked out with two bottles of water and a pack of cigarettes in his hands, chewing a toffee in his mouth.

"Boss? What are you doing? This is your water, and I will help you..."

"Fran..."

"ah?"
