Ark of the Immortal

Apparently, Melanza's condition still made the undead realize that something was wrong.

Little Melanza's body was slightly stiff, but she soon relaxed and squinted her eyes, enjoying the reassuring touch.

At least the real teacher is by your side, so you don't need to worry too much.

She responded obediently.

"Okay, teacher...please touch me a little longer?"

Her voice became smaller and smaller, as if she was coveting the rare tenderness of the undead.

The undead man did not stop what he was doing, comforting the disciple who was obviously not feeling right.

"Um."

...

There is a temple located in the largest city-state of Minos, the CITIC city-state Yasenus.

This temple is one of the spiritual pillars in the hearts of the Minoan people. It is dedicated to the twelve leaders who defeated Sargon's army - the Temple of the Twelve Heroes.

This temple has had a very high reputation since a long time ago. Because the twelve heroes repelled the invading enemies here, it is also the oldest temple that has not been destroyed by the Sargonians.

Being able to become a priest of the temple was the wish of many Minos, which represented the supreme honor.

However, the Temple of the Twelve Heroes seems to hold a special power. Even if these powers are not discovered by people. But being able to survive the cultural destruction of the Sargonians already represents something very special.

Rumor has it that ancient gods protected the temple, and the Sargonians offended the gods when they attempted to destroy it.

Therefore, God sent a divine punishment, causing Sargon's soldiers who tried to destroy the temple to return to the earth in flames.

Even though these are rumors, they have survived from ancient times to the present day, and there is no record in any books of when this temple was built. This also makes it easier for people to happily express their romantic imagination.

However, only the priests who actually worship this temple know that the temple is indeed protected by the gods.

The power and treasure house that existed deep within the temple were the source of power for the heroes of Minos.

They get experience here, face life and death, drink wine together, and praise heroes.

And all of this is like preparation for a real disaster.

Now, Minos opened it to all Terrans, also in accordance with the instructions of the oracle.

And deep in the temple, there is the immeasurable altar.

A fragment of a broken sword that seemed to have just been taken out of the flames lay quietly in the round container.

The twisted fragments make it impossible to detect which part of the weapon it is.

It emits a weak light source, like flames, like thunder and lightning, dimming rhythmically like breathing.

It's like calling out to the person you know best.

331. I wish you happiness

"Welcome to Minos, guests."

What greeted them in the parking lot were the children of the village.

Their ages range from a few years old to teenagers. But holding a garland in your hand gives it a hint of innocence.

Everyone in Rhode Island looked outside through the windows of the bus curiously, wondering what was going on with the children gathered here.

Only Vulcan suddenly stood up at the front and clapped his hands, causing the reserve team members in the car to focus their attention here.

"Okay, let's go to the place for the time being and we can rest for a while."

As an operator who was born in Minos, Vulcan naturally shouldered the responsibility of guide very well.

While Dupin was negotiating with the immigration manager, what Vulcan had to do was to provide temporary make-up lessons for these operators who had just arrived in Minos.

"This is a village in Minos, and it is also a village close to the border area of ​​Sargon. It has been in conflict with Sargon all year round. But in terms of selection, it is already the most prosperous nearby and the most likely to participate in the Warriors Conference. village."

Vulcan's eyes were slightly nostalgic, and his tone of voice was very stern, just like Dupin.

"The purpose of our coming here must have been made clear to you by Instructor Du Bin. From today on, each of you will participate in the warrior conferences in various regions as individuals. Finally, as the best in the region, participate in the Yasai competition Nus's immortal competition. In other words, whether you can participate in the immortal competition depends on everyone's strength."

"To be honest, personally, I don't think any of you will enter the immortal competition. The probability is very small."

"It's not that I look down on you. You have all received professional training from Rhode Island. But you must know that fighting skills can be learned, but the will to fight cannot be acquired through training overnight."

Vulcan's words were completely spoken from a very objective perspective.

"Although you all participated in Chernobog's follow-up rescue and round-up plan. However, facing Minoan warriors who are far stronger and more willing to fight than you, trying to defeat each other in a one-on-one situation is... A fantasy.”

She doesn't want to increase others' prestige, she wants to let the operators of these reserve groups recognize herself.

Before actually going on a mission, it is necessary to ensure that the operators in the reserve team have a clear understanding of their own strength.

Don't think that you are strong because you have experienced Rhode Island's professional training and are considered qualified by the instructors.

However, Vulcan glanced at the operators who had medical duties in the team, and her tone became softer.

"Medical operators don't have to worry, everyone just needs to work hard. Participating in Minos' Undead Competition this time is an opportunity to verify your own strength and see how other people fight. Just try your best and watch more. Fighting with other strong men is also a good gain."

Kagami clapped her hands again, and seeing that everyone's attention was still on her, she continued.

"In a word, that's it. Fight hard, and don't be discouraged even if you fail to enter the immortal competition. After the battle in Minos, the warriors will drink wine and share delicious food. Enjoy your time in Minos!"

"Understood!"

The reserve team members responded in unison. Vulcan nodded with satisfaction and was about to sit down when he suddenly saw several hands stretched out among the crowd, as if they had questions to ask.

Vulcan's movement of sitting down paused. She stabilized her body and randomly clicked on a reserve team operator.

"Fleur, what's the problem?"

Fleur, who was clicked, was sitting behind the undead man. She sat in her seat and asked.

"Miss Vulcan, I would like to ask, will Mr. Immortal join us in the Warriors Conference?"

As soon as this question came out, the other operators put down their hands and looked at Vulcan together.

When the immortal heard his name, he was stunned for a moment.

Why are you suddenly talking about yourself?

Vulcan shook her head, and she asked Fleur to sit down first.

Everyone's eyes were looking at him, and Kagami knew that everyone was paying close attention to this issue.

In fact, this is also very important, because if there are immortal people. If you draw the lottery for the immortal and face the undead, wouldn't that mean you are completely out of the game?

But Kagami spoke, she said.

"First of all, I want to tell you something. Unlike Casimir's battle, Minos' warrior meeting does not necessarily end in victory or defeat."

"Of course there are winners and losers in the Warriors Conference, but the essence of this conference is to inspire people's spirit of struggle and appreciate the skills and will of warriors in battle. So winning or losing will certainly have an impact on the outcome of the game. But people's evaluation of this battle is the same It will also decide who is the winner.”

Kagami raised a hand.

"For example, a soldier holding an ordinary iron sword fights with a competitive knight wearing a full set of Casimir craft armor. The competitive knight uses the warhammer in his hand to constantly humiliate the soldier. He does not mean it, but he has many years of competition experience. , made him choose the approach with higher ratings. However, the soldiers launched an attack unrelentingly, but in the end they still fell under the war hammer of the competitive knight."

"In this battle, the final winner is the competitive knight, but who can really advance?"

Undercher said subconsciously.

"Soldier?"

Kagami shook his head.

"No, both of them will advance."

Looking at the confused expressions of the operators, Fire Snake continued to explain.

"The selection of the Warriors Conference is not only based on victory or defeat. The combat skills and fighting will displayed by the warriors in the battle are also one of the criteria. After the war, someone will collect the opinions of the audience, which is equivalent to a public opinion vote. .”

"If the audience, infected by the will to fight, thinks that this warrior should not walk off the battlefield sadly like this, then he will enter the next round with his fighting will raised high."

"Similarly, the winner also has the right to advance to the next round. If he wins, then this is an indisputable fact."

Kagami looked around again and said with some humor.

"I know you are worried. If we meet Mr. Immortal, no one will be able to survive a few rounds in his hands, right?"

Hearing what Vulcan said, the operators on the bus couldn't help but laugh.

Even Melanza smiled. She was naturally very happy to hear that others recognized her teacher's strength.

It's not a shame, it's just that no one wants to let themselves be so unlucky.

Kagami continued.

"But you don't have to worry. I heard that the Undead Tournament will give special promotion quotas to those warriors who have become famous. Mr. Undead, as Casimir's battle knight, has the opportunity to directly advance to the Undead Tournament."

As soon as Vulcan finished speaking, there was a knock on the door of the bus.

Vulcan turned his head, just in time to see Dupin's face next to the bus door.

The driver opened the door and Instructor Dubin walked in.

As soon as Du Bin walked in, the reserve team members all put away their smiles and sat upright in their seats.

This is the majesty of the instructor!

But Dupin came in not to teach them a lesson.

Du Bin looked at the undead man and said.

"Mr. Immortal, could you please come down here? Minos officials need to confirm your identity."

As a result, the reserve team members all turned their attention to the undead.

The undead man nodded, stood up, and got out of the car under the gaze of everyone, with Dubin following behind him.

After the undead left, Vulcan shrugged his shoulders.

"Look what I said."

...

Just as Vulcan predicted, Minos officials determined the identity of the undead in order to ensure that the war knights would receive the invitations they sent.

Unlike other famous warriors, the undead do not have a fixed residence. Therefore, Minos' invitation could not reach him. I heard that the undead and the people from Rhode Island came to Minos together, so they naturally wanted to send this invitation letter.

After Minos officials saw the undead man, they first communicated with him and confirmed that he was a war knight. Then ask the undead man if he is willing to accept the invitation of the Minos Undead Competition and directly advance to the Undead Competition.

The immortal had no reason to refuse, so he accepted the invitation.

After this, the immortals learned that invitations to warriors outside Minos were very few.

After the revelations from Minos officials, the Immortals and the others learned that there should be no more than ten invitations sent outside Minos.

Although the Undead Tournament was a large-scale battle celebration, Minos did not have much communication with other countries in the world. Therefore, there are very few means to contact those soldiers.

Moreover, the people of Minoan believed in their own eyes more than they believed in the news and false news flying all over the sky.

The Immortals have demonstrated their strength in global live broadcasts, and there are also rumors of subsequent resistance against the business alliance.

Such a warrior just suited the Minoan appetite. Therefore, the priests of the Temple of Heroes include the undead in the invitation list.

Seeing that the undead accepted Minos' invitation, the officials also breathed a sigh of relief and showed excited expressions.

"Mr. Battle Knight, do you have time..."

Looking at the sudden appearance of several more notebooks in front of him, the undead man dealt with them calmly. He was almost used to it.

A minute later, the officials put away the precious notebooks and held the immortal's hand for a long time before letting go.

It seems that fans of the Undead Legion can be found all over Terra.

It seems that the Minoan officials also asked Dubin for news about Linguang.

From what they said, it seemed that they had also sent an invitation letter to Linguang.

The news of the arrival of the Glory Knight as an operator of Rhodes Island had already spread throughout Terra.

However, Dubin shook her head and said that Linguang was probably participating in a certain task and could not come to Minos.

In fact, Linguang did have something to do and Minos could not come.

As a result, Minoan officials could only say goodbye to Dubin and the undead with regret.

Du Bin also breathed a sigh of relief after settling the immigration matter.

Fortunately, Minos had already prepared for it. A major event like the Immortal Competition itself would attract many people to watch the ceremony. This event could also bring a lot of tourism promotion to Minos, and the officials still attached great importance to it.
