this is my ark journey

"Pretending to be a good nun is pretty good, and if that shit Deep Sea Church comes to their door, I can give them a surprise." Sister Zaun sneered, pointing at Skadi and saying:

"You seem to be in good spirits, did you sleep well last night?"

"It's not bad, it's rare for me to have a dream." Skadi showed nostalgia on his face, and muttered to himself: "I dreamed that when I was a child, my mother was telling stories by the crib, and I was sleeping quietly with the doll in my arms. go."

It was supposed to be a very heavy topic, but Ghost Shark couldn't bear it any longer, and laughed with a 'poof'.

"What are you laughing at?" Skadi looked dissatisfied.

"I didn't laugh."

"Nonsense, you just laughed!"

"I'm a professionally trained deep-sea hunter, so I don't smile easily." Ghost Shark replied with a straight face, and added something in his heart by the way.

Unless you can't help it.

Scarti looked at her suspiciously, and said after a long time, "I suddenly felt that Ren was right, it would be better if you were a well-behaved nun."

"It's a pity that you came too early, otherwise I might really become a good nun." Ghost Shark smiled helplessly, and then the smile became bitter again.

"Sorry for getting you involved."

"No, we are companions, besides, it's Ren's idea to help you."

"He??" Ghost Shark was a little surprised, because she actually ruined Ren's good deeds.

Just this dazed and stupid killer whale, I'm afraid it won't be too long before it falls.

"Shark, he is my companion and your companion, don't you think so?"

Companions on land?

Ghost Shark was silent for a while, looked up and saw Ren was going out with oil-pressed sandworm sticks, and then saw the gritted expression on the latter's face, and suddenly smiled.

"Yes, he is my companion."

What the hell is this crazy woman thinking?

Ren saw the ghost shark smiling at him, and got goosebumps all over his body. Yesterday he was tortured, and the head was picked up for nothing before, and he almost lay back in the coffin.

Don't be afraid of this crazy woman.

Ren came over calmly and handed the fried sandworms to Skadi. The girl didn't care that the breakfast was disgusting and her mouth was full of oil.

Looking at Skadi's not-so-ladylike appearance, Ren sighed: "Little Juan is here, let's go too."

The boy stood at the door, first grinning at Skadi, and then looking at Ren with slightly hostile eyes.

Ren didn't bother to care about the hostility, so he stepped forward and asked directly, "Is your dad awake?"

Perhaps it was because Rennes felt too oppressive, the boy lowered his head slightly.

"Mr. Lane, the car is ready."

"Then lead the way."

The three of them left the yard, and went outside the town under the eyes of the town's god of plague avoidance. When they went out of the gate, they saw old Jose standing beside a khaki off-road vehicle.

Most of the paint on this car has been peeled off, the back seat has been removed, and a layer of tarpaulin has been set up as a cargo compartment, which is filled with various supplies.

Unexpectedly, after a world away, I can touch the car again.

Ren walked around the off-road vehicle. He used to be an old driver, but Rodland didn't even have a horse, let alone a car. None of the Sun Knights, Black Knights, and Lothric Knights had horses.

"Can it be opened?" Old Jose threw the key.

"It's been opened before, but it's not this kind. Don't worry, no matter which one is in my hands, I'm obedient." Ren flicked the key with his fingers and smiled confidently.

He opened the car door and made a 'creak' sound, his confidence instantly turned into suspicion: "Are you sure this car won't fall apart when you drive out?"

"Nonsense, this is the best car in Long Beach Town." Old Jose rolled his eyes and added in his heart:

If you want to fall apart, you have to wait until you stay away from Long Beach Town, otherwise you bastard will not come back and seek compensation from me?

"The materials above are enough for you to use for half a month, and the origin stone ingots are enough to drive for half a month. This is a certificate. If you don't have supplies, you can go to the settlement."

"What if you can't go to the village and don't go to the store?" Ren thought to himself that there is no service area in this ghost place.

Hearing this idiotic question, Old Jose showed a kind smile: "Don't you know how to rob?"

"Understood." Ren suddenly realized, got into the cab, held the steering wheel with emotion, and then turned the key.

Hereby—

The energy of the origin stone was activated, the engine started to run, and the car body shook. Ren lowered the window and bid farewell to the two girls who were watching curiously.

"Then I'll go."

"Well, I'll come to you after I finish my investigation." Skadi smiled rarely.

"If you are going to die, remember to find someone to leave a last message, so we can come and collect your body." Ghost Shark said casually.

Sharks cannot spit out ivory.

"Skadi, Ghost Shark, goodbye."

Ren ignored her, waved his hand very chicly, and without making a long speech, he stepped on the accelerator decisively and headed towards the sun that had just risen.

It's hard to say goodbye when you get together, but the hunters are free and easy, without too many words, too much retention, and no need to hold your head and cry, as chic as walking after a meal.

It seems ruthless, but it is full of trust.

Ren walked very handsomely, and Skadi and Ghost Shark had been standing at the entrance of the town, watching the khaki off-road vehicle drift away.

"Tsk, why don't you just take a long trip and talk nonsense, I think... Puff!" Before the ghost shark could finish his eccentric words, he saw the car suddenly twisting and turning into an S shape. The chic appearance is self-defeating.

"Hahahaha, he's fine! Don't drive into a ditch right after you leave the house!"

"No problem, I trust him." Skadi didn't smile, watching the off-road vehicle gradually disappear into the horizon, and suddenly stretched his hand above his head.

"Ren, goodbye!"

The soft voice penetrated the wilderness, mixed with the wind and blowing into the distance.

"Okay, okay, he can't hear it, who told you not to say it just now, let's hurry up and get on the road." Seeing that people were watching, Ghost Shark quickly grabbed Skadi and left in the opposite direction.

These bastards don't even say thank you?Forget it, it's the style of these freaks.

Old Jose, who had been blowing the wind in the wilderness, cursed secretly, curled his lips and was about to leave, but just two steps away, he suddenly felt a touch of red come to him.

"Thank you, Jose Sr."

After Skadi finished speaking, her fishtail-like long hair swayed, and she turned and ran into the distance.

She was so fast that the fast old Jose didn't have time to respond, but stood in the wind in astonishment, seeing the silent figure behind her.

Curious girl, vigilant girl, lonely girl, confused girl...

The image of dealing with Skadi in the past flashed through the mind of old Jose, and finally solidified into a sincere sentence of 'thank you'.

After a long silence, he suddenly laughed out loud:

"That bastard really changed you a lot, Skadi, don't go back to this damn place!!"

The sound quickly dissipated in the wilderness, and it was unclear whether the killer whale could hear it, but the old Jose turned his head and slapped his son with a complicated face.

"What are you looking at, why don't you go to collect debts! That broken car blew me away!"

"Oh." Little Juan muttered, and ran away quickly.

Shit, I didn't expect me to lose money in business, how did this bastard do it!

Old Jose scolded Rennes and walked towards his yard with his hands behind his back. He saved some money, but it was for Juan to treat his ore disease.

'It's not going to a pub this month, shit, it's a sobriety. '

He walked up the steps while cursing, and frowned when he saw the slanted door lock. He lifted his cloak and pulled out the machete from behind.

The old man, who was a little staggering when he walked, was not afraid to scare the snake. While patting the machete, he shouted loudly:

"Although I don't know where you are a stupid thief, but if you want to survive in the wilderness, you have to be smarter. I, old Jose, are not only the guests of the mayor, but also the bosses of the Rust Hammer Gang. If you are sensible, come out obediently. "

Ordinary stupid thieves would have been frightened to the point of death, but the inner room was still silent, old Jose felt that something was wrong, turned around and ran away.

boom!

He hit a 'wall', an invisible wall of air.

"Our faith does not allow theft and crime."

A deep voice came from the back room, followed by a crisp sound of 'dang, clang, clang', like iron boots stepping on the ground.

"You are..." Old Jose's pupils narrowed sharply when he saw the person coming.

In front of him was a giant wrapped in pure white steel armor. There was a circle of light hanging from the top of the giant helmet. There was a golden badge on the delicate breastplate. round gun.

Behind the steel giant is a man wearing an iron mask and a cowboy hat. He also has a huge pistol, but he looks ordinary compared to the knight.

Seeing the two of them clearly, Jose Elder calmed down, bowed his head and said, "Forgive me, but I don't know what's going on with the Knight of Lateran and the Iberian Judge coming to this tiny town of Long Beach?"

Messy hair blocked the expression, but it couldn't stop the cold sweat that kept dripping.

In front of the papal knight and the judge, not to mention him old Jose, even the town of Long Beach is as small as an ant.

The knight didn't look at him, and just asked in a calm voice: "People of the wilderness, we want to know the details of the man who followed the deep sea hunter and where he is going..."

"Here."

Old Jose was interrupted by the knight before finishing his sentence, his voice was still emotionless.

"Be cautious in your words and deeds, don't lie, don't hide anything, if not—"

boom!

Just taking off the giant sword, all the stone slabs in the small courtyard cracked.

"You will face judgment!"

Chapter 23 Strange Statues

In the 1092 year of the Terra calendar, October.

The wilderness in late autumn has become colder, which is definitely not good news for the wilderness residents. Wild animals will hide, and it is difficult to harvest crops. If natural disasters are added, the number of dead residents cannot be counted.

Every time at this time, the population of each settlement will be reduced, and the infected will be expelled, and they will be left to fend for themselves. Anyway, when this land eats people, it will be the same for everyone who dies.

call--

An old off-road vehicle sped past, kicking up the messy clothes on the corpses on the side of the road. Ren held the steering wheel with one hand, and glanced at the vast wilderness outside the window, and the corpses everywhere on it.

"It's dead again, this ghost place is more annoying than Black Soul in some places."

The so-called not suffering from few but suffering from inequality, everyone in Black Soul is living a hard life, even the prince of Lothric is afraid of being pulled out to be used as firewood, but Terra is different.

In this late autumn, noble lords are enjoying maids and fireplaces, and city dwellers are living a modern life, even in the wilderness. Mercenaries are drinking and chatting in taverns, merchants are preparing to hoard, and more people die in Both sides of the road are like grass.

This is not a problem of infected people, it is simply a class contradiction.

The closed car windows cut off the cold wind. It has been half a month since I came out of Long Beach Town. On the way, Ren encountered three ambushes, five robberies, saw hundreds of corpses, and was interested in burying people at first. It's just too busy.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

Ren saw a mutilated body of an infected person on the side of the road weathering, scattering pure black souls into the sky. The instrument might not be able to detect it, but he could see the origin stone's aura rising a bit.

'The earth is in a vicious cycle, and I don't know what the hometown of Skadi and the others looks like. '

Thinking of Skadi, Renn finally smiled. He remembered that when she left, the girl stood at the entrance of the town until the off-road vehicle disappeared into the horizon. Everyone could feel the reluctance and strength.

Hey, I underestimated her.

Renn smiled wryly. Skadi is a tough guy, but a charming guy. After getting enlightened, he even disdains his own unilateral contribution, which confirms the old saying:

A real goddess doesn't need to lick a dog!

"She and Ghost Shark can walk sideways on the mainland, so you should worry more about yourself. Hey, why do you feel like a kid who just left his parents?"

He couldn't help complaining about himself, and at this moment, something seemed to appear in his vision, and he instinctively stepped on the brakes.

Shila-

The Origin Stone off-road vehicle rushed forward ten meters before stopping, creaking and muffled, as if it was about to fall apart.

"What kind of broken car did that profiteer give you!" Ren cursed and opened the car door, and the cold wind immediately hit his face, making him shrink back into his coat.
