Three Good Salary Kings Stand on the Ark

"None of us can escape the past, maybe it's easier to be like you?"

"Ghost shark, ghost shark...what should I do..."

Skadi said in a low voice, she lowered her head, and her silver hair fell like a waterfall, covering her face, so she couldn't see her expression clearly.

The ghost shark didn't respond either, and still just held the necklace tightly.

She is a hunter of the deep sea, and she possesses incomparable power to land people, which is for fighting monsters in the sea.

At the same time, she is just a person who has lost everything and left her hometown. Her heart is confused, and she doesn't know where to go.

Fortunately, she found the ghost shark, and her former companion was still alive, which was enough to make her happy.

She also found Ashes, the legendary hunter who promised herself that she would go down with her.

This reassures her, but when the shadow of the past looms, what choice should she make?

To face, or to escape?

Go ahead, there will always be an answer.

------

When night came, the sun, which had never appeared before, disappeared and took away the light, and the night covered the earth again.

Skadi was walking in the corridor of Rhodes Island, her boots collided with the floor, making a dull sound that echoed in the empty corridor.

Suddenly, she sensed that there was something extra in Rhodes Island.

Shrugging her nose, Skadi smelled something familiar, and of course she remembered what it was.

Her skin felt the sudden moistness and tightening, and she became a little agitated.

This is the smell from the sea, this is the moisture from the sea, she can't forget it, even after leaving her hometown for so long, she still remembers it.

But it shouldn't be there, or it shouldn't be here in Rhode Island.

Her footsteps became hurried, and Skadi ran after the scent, even though there was a loud running sound in this silent night, she didn't care.

【A hunter walks to the coast?】

She heard the song.

Her steps faltered.

That melody, that language, she is very familiar with, just a few days ago, she just sang on the bridge.

That is a song from Agor, it swims like a brisk fish in the boat on this land, brisk and ethereal.

She smelled the smell of sea water, she felt the wetness of sea water, and she also heard the singing in the sea.

Is it a ghost shark?

She is the only ship on Rhodes Island that is the same as Skadi.

is she awake?

Feeling excited, Skadi hurried to Ghost Shark's ward and opened the door impatiently.

However, there was no silver-haired figure on the plain white bed, it was empty without any warmth.

The nun's costume that was originally replaced also disappeared.

Where has she gone?

Looking at the tidy room, Skadi couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

is she out

Sniffing the dissipated scent, Skadi suddenly realized that it was not a ghost shark, she was not so cold and sharp, and she should be more unrestrained and free.

That is to say...

The wind from nowhere blew up the curtains in the ward, and the white gauze fluttered, revealing the dark hole behind it.

It was just an ordinary wall there, but now it was cut open by an unknown existence. Judging from the neat cutting marks on the edge, it must be a very sharp weapon.

A hole high enough to accommodate the two walking side by side appeared in front of Skadi, and some cold wind blew from it.

There are outsiders.

Is the deep sea hunter.

Holding the big sword tightly, Skadi chased after him looking for the smell and singing.

【His hometown is behind, is there any more lamenting?】

Chasing quickly, Skadi turned into a passage, and she saw a figure flashing away at the end of the passage, no, it was two.

"Stop! Hunter!"

She shouted loudly, but the other party was indifferent, and she continued to sing.

And the one held in the arms of that tall figure is the Ghost Shark.

A deep-sea hunter took a ghost shark?Why?

Skadi didn't have time to think about the answer, she ran up suddenly, jumped around the corner in front of her, and put her hand on the hilt of the sword behind her.

But the identity of the visitor shocked her. She had never thought of such a possibility, and Skadi lost her voice because of the shock.

Their eyes met, two pairs of scarlet eyes intertwined.

"Skadi, you look good."

"You are--!"

--------

Night, silent night, silent night.

Ashes returned to the room early, lying on the bed with his arms under his head and thinking.

The unconscious ghost shark, her strange attitude towards herself, and her whisper, all made Ashes feel that something was about to happen.

And Ghost Shark and Skadi both said the same thing.

Something bad is spreading, so what is it?

Not much time, so how long is left?

And... did I forget something?

Ghost Shark, Skadi, Hunter, Lantern.

It seems that some mystery came to him again, but he is almost used to it, if you don’t understand, then don’t think about it, reckless can always solve the problem, if you can’t, then you are not reckless enough.

Ashes believed in such principles.

"Jingle - jingle -"

Suddenly, a crisp bell sound came from the ears, and the sound penetrated the eardrums, reaching Ashes' soul.

"This is..."

Before he could recall the origin of the familiar ringtone, the sudden sleepiness hit him like a tidal wave, dragging him away.

【A hunter has a dream, his way is ahead, never deviate?】

Misty mist filled his side, slightly moist air entered his throat, small white flowers swayed beside him, scraping gently.

It was Mingshuhua, which was planted by a former hunter, and now it blooms all over this small space.

"—"

Ashes opened his eyes, and the sense of touch of his limbs returned to perception, he propped himself up and looked around.

A sea of ​​bright tree flowers engulfed him, and the silent wind blew gently, and the pure white flowers swayed along with it.

Ashes looked behind him, and saw a huge tree, nearly as thick as a dozen people surrounded by it, its messy roots protruding from the ground, and some tombstones whose words could no longer be read clearly were involved in it, becoming one.

On his right, outside Mingshu Garden, stands this building. The sharp top goes straight to the sky, protruding into the mist that pervades the space, and a narrow path winds down. As if waiting for someone to move.

This is the hunter's dreamland, he has been here before, and he has killed the superiors here.

Ashes stood up, walked up the path along the path, and walked to the building.

Looking towards the familiar location, Ashes was a little surprised. Before the stairs of the building, where an oil lamp was placed, there should have been a figure there.

But now it's empty.

Just as he was about to walk up the stairs and enter the interior of the building, he noticed some blue light flashing by his feet.

Ugly little creatures with disproportionate heads and slender arms emerge from the light.

Of course, Ashes also recognizes them. These are messengers. Although their appearance is not pleasant, their hearts are kind and simple. They are the hunter's helpers and can help deliver some information and items.

Three gray-blue messengers emerged from the light. They found Ashes. They couldn't speak, so they danced their arms happily.

Ashes squatted down to look at the three cuties, they were swaying, another light blue light flashed, and a lantern rose from the ground, exuding a faint blue light.

But it wasn't over yet, they took out two more things and handed them to Ashes.

A piece of yellowish parchment and an empty blood collection bottle.

Gently patted the three messengers, watching them dance happily and then sink into the light, Ashes also looked at the objects in his hands.

There was nothing strange about the empty blood collection bottle, it seemed to be just a blood collection bottle that can be seen everywhere, and the inside was also clean, as if it had never contained anything.

Ashes, who didn't know its function, put it away and opened the other folded parchment.

It was yellow stained by time, and the edge of the paper was slightly damaged. The ashes opened it, and there was a string of beautiful handwriting inside.

He read it word by word.

"Good hunter, go hunting, to the capricious fate, go to【■■■】"

Before he could read the last name, the lantern suddenly blazed brighter, enveloping ashes in it.

A burst of flickering light dissipated, and the hunter's dream returned to tranquility again, as if nothing just happened.

Dreamy.

Ashes woke up, he sat up, looked at the blood collection bottle in his hand, and remained silent.

"Ok?"

He felt something, got up and got out of bed, and went to the corridor.
