Ark of the Immortal

Old Benny took a gold coin from the money bag, and took a bag of silver coins from the side and threw them to the undead man.

The undead man weighed it and raised his head in surprise.

"The portion is not small."

"Isn't it much better than the place in Youquan Town?"

Old Benny chuckled, took the wooden cup handed out by Keobei next to him, and filled her with another cup of hot milk tea.

"Being close to the Snow Realm, it's normal for Blue Falcon Town to get more rewards. After all, Kalan trade has brought a lot of things in recent years."

The undead man nodded. He had heard of the company Kalan Trading a long time ago.

When we were chatting with Lao Setu before, Lao Setu said that the background of Kalan trade is extraordinary, so don't underestimate them.

Currently, nearly three-quarters of most modern Originium products appearing in Kjerag were brought about by the Kalan trade.

It can be said that Kalan trade has become Kjerag’s only window for foreign trade.

"So, the three clan councils will also try their best to stumbling upon that young Yin Hui. Including this time... huh? Here he comes."

As Old Benny was talking, there was a creaking sound from the wooden door, and the bell on the beam was blown, making a clear tinkling sound.

The undead man looked back and saw the woman he had met once before.

Her silver-white hair was held down by a black three-cornered hat, and the top stood up like a fish fin.

The waterfall-like hair hangs down along the capable body, and is tied together by a thick hair rope at the end.

The clothes on her body are designed to be as easy to move as possible while taking into account the beauty. The cloak extending from the back of the shoulder armor wraps her body, making her look even more mysterious.

As soon as Skadi came in, he looked at old Benny behind the bar.

"Old Benny, let me...?"

This morning, when she went out, Old Benny told her to come back early and not be too late. He said that he had found someone for her who could help her climb the mountain.

But no matter how hard she guessed, she could never guess that it would be this person.

When the undead man looked over, she felt as if her heart had been struck by a hammer, and every pore in her body seemed to be screaming in pain like it was being burned.

This kind of pain disappeared completely after lasting for two or three seconds, followed by a piercing scream that suddenly sounded in the ears, and then immediately returned to calm.

The undead also frowned when they saw Skadi.

When he saw Skadi, he vaguely saw a translucent thing floating out of Skadi's body, like a huge tentacle-like creature.

But when he looked over again, there was nothing there.

But just seeing it for that moment was enough to make the undead doubtful.

After coming to Kjerag, a similar situation has happened once. This is the second time.

The bounty hunters who were still in the store immediately stopped communicating after seeing Skadi.

"You come here first, come here first."

Sensing the sudden change in the atmosphere in the store, old Benny quickly waved his hand and asked Skadi to come to the bar.

Skadi froze and sat down near the bar. The bounty hunters left in the corner escaped from Old Benny's hotel as if they had been rescued.

Now, there are only four Skadis left in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.

Seeing that everyone in the way was gone, old Benny finally opened his mouth to make a formal introduction.

"No, the rightful owner is back."

Old Benny looked at the undead man and introduced him to him first.

"This is what I'm talking about, Skadi. One of the most powerful bounty hunters in all of Terra."

Then, he looked to the side, where the bounty hunter sat down three seats away from the undead man and straightened his back.

"This is the helper I found for you, the immortal. Absolutely reliable. You may have seen him too."

"Um..."

Skadi nodded. She overcame her physical discomfort and turned her head to take a closer look at the undead man.

Gray-white armor, plain and simple, but a huge sword.

Yes, this is the guy I saw in Youquan Town!

Old Benny said he would find a helper for her, but why did he find him? !

"..."

The undead man also watched Skadi fall into silence. He was still comparing the breath he just felt with his own memory, trying to find something that matched.

The first floor of the hotel fell into silence, and the atmosphere solidified for a while.

Old Benny glanced at the undead man, then looked at Skadi, the smile on his face gradually became stiff.

What's going on?

Neither of them said anything. Is there something wrong with these two troublesome things? Are they about to start a fight?

Only Keob remained untouched.

The blond silly dog ​​handed over the empty wooden cup, and without even wiping the milk stains from the corners of his mouth, he spoke to old Benny in an innocent and naive voice.

"More more!"

70. Things worth burning

Old Benny's worry is not unreasonable. After all, these two are not fuel-efficient lamps. One has long been known as a bad guy, and the other is a newcomer who is also highly recommended by Old Setu.

And this sudden silence really made old Benny a little confused.

However, thanks to Ciobo's interruption, old Benny had a chance to relax.

"Okay!"

Old Benny took the cup from Kyobe's hand, filled her cup first, then took a new cup, poured a cup of hot milk tea for Skadi and handed it to her.

"Thanks."

Out of politeness, Skadi nodded and thanked old Benny.

This opened up the atmosphere a little, and old Benny took the opportunity to speak, hoping to make the two of them communicate more frequently.

"Yesterday you told me that you wanted to go up the mountain, but in addition to you, you need to find a few people to help. I thought about it and found this person for you."

Although he was still talking nonsense, it was not useless. At least he succeeded in attracting the undead man's attention.

"Don't worry, I didn't call you here specifically. I don't mean anything else. The Immortal just arrived last night, and Old Setu and I have been corresponding for a long time. He kept mentioning this person in his letters, so I chose him. "

He leaned on the bar and looked at Skadi.

"Do you two know each other?"

"I've seen it."

Skadi didn't hesitate, it wasn't something that couldn't be said.

But she was indeed a little curious about her body's instinctive reaction, so she fell into a brief silence.

Now, all the abnormalities have disappeared, and she can look at the undead next to her with straight eyes.

Just as old Benny said, this bounty hunter whose whole body is wrapped in medium-sized armor has a strong sense of oppression.

Not to mention the weapons he used, just by sitting there, Skadi could feel the explosive power hidden in his body.

This is not some mysterious thing, it is simply the mutual perception between powerful creatures.

However, unexpectedly, after carefully looking at the armor on the undead man, Skadi suddenly felt an extremely strong sense of déjà vu, as if she had seen the undead man in other places besides Youquan Town. Same.

Thinking of this, Skadi slowly tilted his head, looked towards the ceiling, and was stunned for a moment.

Where have you seen it?

"Indeed, I have seen it."

The undead man also nodded.

To put it crudely, most of those who work as bounty hunters are rich and powerful men. There are only a few beautiful women like Skadi in the entire mercenary ranks.

Because of this, Skadi left a deep impression on the undead.

Of course, in addition to his appearance, the weapons used by Skadi also impressed the undead.

The craftsmanship of that big sword looks a bit familiar.

"Is there any grudge?"

Old Benny simply said it clearly.

"Why do I feel like you guys are going to start fucking me in the next second? Let's say it first. If you want to fight me out, don't break my things here."

"No."

The undead man shook his head and expressed his thoughts succinctly.

"But, I'm a little curious."

"Me too."

Skadi also nodded, not hiding his interest in the undead at all.

"I'm curious about you too."

Both of them are straight-tempered, they speak out if they have something to say, and they don't know how to hide it.

Old Benny breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.

"Hey, there's no grudge, don't be so stiff. Skadai, just tell me what you want to do. It doesn't matter whether you want to help or not. Let's talk about the reward you can give."

With old Benny's guidance and the fact that the undead man didn't do anything drastic, Skadi also breathed a sigh of relief.

But the feeling just now and the sudden scream were still fresh in her memory.

"Okay, let me tell you my needs first."

Like the undead, Skadi put the sword on his back on the ground and leaned against the bar.

"I want to go to the sacred mountain of Kalan."

Skadi said, she took a sip of the hot milk tea in the wooden cup, and then looked at the undead man next to her.

"My purpose is to meet the gods of Kalan. My idea is to sneak into the ranks of the saint election, and then see if old Benny can help me get the qualifications to become the saint candidate. But old Benny said He might have other ideas."

After listening to Skadi's words, the undead man sat up straighter and looked at old Benny at the bar.

"Can you help her go up the mountain?"

"uh-huh."

Old Benny nodded.

"But what she said is that it is too dangerous to sneak into the saint election. Not to mention whether she can be successfully elected and become the candidate. A noble girl was selected as the saint candidate two days ago. , and she has to wait until she fails the trial before she can be selected into the Holy Temple again."

He pointed at Skadi.

"Even if that person fails, there will be another round of elections. The best I can do is send her into the team, but I can't let that drop of water fall on her. If it is delayed any longer, she won't be able to wait any longer."

The undead man nodded. Just as old Benny said, this round of trials will be delayed for several days. If Skadi is in a hurry, he won't be able to wait at all.

"So, my idea is that on the day of the saint election, you go up the mountain from the side. The back mountain is a cliff and it is impossible to go up. Although the front mountain is heavily guarded, I can find a way to help you create some opportunities."

Old Benny looked at Skadi and said.

"As long as you can stay away from the sight of the Manzhuyuan guards before the sun completely hits the mountain road. You can climb all the way near the mountain road. Pay attention to your whereabouts, and there should be no big problem."

"But, before that, I have to ask you to do something for me to distract some of the guards."

Old Benny turned to the undead.

He was about to tell the undead what he wanted from him and the matters related to the reward.

But the immortal man spoke directly.

"I promise."

The immortal agreed so quickly that old Benny didn't even react.

"I need you...? You agree now?! Why don't you listen to what I ask you to do?"
