this is my ark journey

"Ceobe, are you messing with gods and demons?"

Someone was scratching Ren's nostrils with his hair. Seeing the latter's eyes open suddenly, he sat down on the ground in fright.

"Hey, Ren, are you awake?"

"Think I'm you? You can fall asleep when you knead your face into dough?" Ren snorted angrily, sat up, and saw that the 'pillow' had been replaced by Xinteliya, and couldn't help asking: "Skadi Where did you go?"

"Hey, can't I do it?" Platinum wrinkled his nose, very upset, blinded by his soft-handed substitution just now.

It's okay, it's Taiping, and it can't play the role of "sunshade".

Ren glanced up and down, with the original expression on his face. Sure enough, sentimentality can only stay on the killer whale for a moment, and he should do what he should do after enjoying the tranquility.

"All right, all right, it feels very comfortable to the touch."

Bai Jin's face turned red instantly, bit her lip and said, "Be careful, I'll sue you for harassment!"

"It doesn't work to ignore it, and it doesn't work to praise it, so what do you want me to say?"

"Tell me the truth."

"It just feels very comfortable to the touch." Ren didn't bother to pay attention to the twitchy social animal, and was about to look around. A pair of arms were already wrapped around his neck, pulling him into his arms.

"The knee pillow was invented by Keobe! You copied my idea!" Shagou said dissatisfiedly. She raised her hands and feet when changing people just now, but Miss Orca chose to ignore it.

"No, I don't want to have nightmares." Ren suddenly remembered the tragedy in Kazdel, and he almost became the first ashes to be smothered to death by facial cleanser.

Keobe rubbed his eyes, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Not now, Laplande said that I have grown a lot!"

You are not convincing at all...

Ren really had no choice but to lie down symbolically with this brat, and when he looked up, he saw that the peaks and waves were like fury, almost filling the entire field of vision, which was seen by Platinum not far away, as a How could the excellent social animals not see it, and stomped their feet angrily.

Fortunately, Ren sat up after lying down for a while. Ceobe's head drooped, and he might be pressed down at any time. He stared at Shagou, and Shagou blinked at him. After a long period of confrontation, Ashes finally deflated.

"Ceobe, Ceobe, I don't know who sent you to deal with me." Ren originally wanted to criticize the stupid dog who didn't know how to live or die, but she not only played a role, but also wanted to help, so he stretched out his hand and rubbed it Rub the dog's head and you're done.

Seeing Ceobe squinting his eyes and enjoying himself, he lost even the interest in rubbing the dog's head.

"Sister Ceobe, don't you want to help make breakfast?" Lisa's voice came from a distance, and Ceobe woke up like a dream, and quickly broke away from Ren's grasp.

"I'm going to play with Lisa!"

Who said that he had grown up just now?

Ren looked at his back helplessly, and saw a field dining car in the distance, Lisa was busy with her apron tied up, and she kept scolding Ceobe for stealing food, Rosemary was standing next to the two of them, the girl at this moment did not use a giant sword , instead holding three kitchen knives with invisible hands, cutting Chinese cabbage non-stop.

The ruins of the high tower are just a thousand meters away, and there are still large pits on the ground, but judging from the expressions of several people, it looks like a camping.

"so good."

"Okay, okay, shouldn't you talk about their lack of tension?" Xintleya quietly came to the side, puffing out her chest by the way.

"It's as if you're nervous." Ren squinted, and took a broken potato chip from his hair. "You can be lazy when you use it as a knee pillow, ah, you are a fisherman?"

"I just sat until my legs became numb and bored, obviously you slept too long." Platinum's face flushed instantly.

She didn't wait for an answer, she just said "Texas is looking for me" and ran away without looking back.

Haha, interesting.

Ren rubbed his chin. It's quite interesting to use this Platinum to tease him twice, at least he won't turn his face like W.

'It's time for the cockroach spirit to wake up. ' He could feel the flames throbbing slowly in the distance, and he was relieved and felt a headache at the same time.

Now that there are more and more people around me, W should be able to get along well.

According to his observation, the people around him have been divided into small groups one after another, like Lisa and Rosemary who can play well because of their similar age, Laplande and Xinteliya like to be with people from Penguin Logistics, And Teresia and Tallulah are in their own category.

Skadi does not get close to anyone, and has always maintained a neutral attitude. As for Ceobe...

This silly dog ​​is a social butterfly, he can cheekily go to anyone who pokes him.

Thinking about it carefully, W and Superintendent Chen are the only people who are close to each other. Fortunately, they are not lonely and have their own social circle.

"I'm so worried about what they do." Ren shook his head, and the people around him were a network of relationships, extending outward, and finally holding the entire land in his hands.

Looking at the few people who were making breakfast in the distance, the meal was not last night, and Ceobe had already eaten half of the ingredients. He couldn't help spreading his hands, thinking that Lisa had brought the dog into the house, so there must be nothing to eat for this breakfast.

He looked around the camp and saw some silver-armored knights scattered in the distance. They were Kasimir's Pegasus with silver spears, and further away were Lateran-style armor. After one night, the Pope's knights also returned. Wei Lai seemed even more hesitant at the moment.

Below the hill was a black-painted landship with the flag of Letania and a royal battle standard flying from its mast.

The matter is so full of black humor, the three parties who were supposed to kill each other are now living in peace.

The provocateur is hesitant, the challenger is wary, and the exploited is full of gratitude.

"It's really thanks to you." Ren couldn't help but smile. It is basically impossible to squeeze this group of people together in a normal way, but what they did just provided an opportunity.

"Ren, the Queen of the Night in Letania, the Knight of Kasimir, and the Grand Master of Lateran have been waiting for you for a long time." Skadi walked to him slowly, and Theresa did not wake up. , she is the organizer.

"Thank you." Ren nodded.

Skadi didn't move away, but raised his hand, straightened his collar carefully, looked at him, and then showed a satisfied smile.

"Why do I feel like a wife sending her husband off to work?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Skadi tapped Ren on the shoulder, and the latter shook, and the ground was already cracked.

Miss Killer Whale's gentleness is not something ordinary people can bear. Ren, who had already rested all night, felt more energetic. He shook the sleeves of the sage's robe and walked towards land ship.

No one can unite the kingdoms of the land, but Ashes can.

Chapter 440 Ashes Never Fool

It was not the conference room filled with smog as imagined. A queen, a regimental commander, and a former army commander were sitting in the garden on the deck of the land ship, bathing in the autumn sun and smelling the fragrance of roses.

The well-dressed maids stood by and poured cups of black tea for the big shots. As the host, the Queen of the Night had given enough face.

But both Margaret and Danino knew that this face was not for them.

Ashes is the savior of the Twin Queens. He removed the Witch King who had plagued Letania for countless years. He deserves the most noble etiquette both in public and in private. If Skadi hadn't explicitly refused, the Queen of the Night would bring the accompanying nobles Greet in person.

Compared with Danilo's uneasiness, Margaret was very satisfied. The battle in the Winterling Mountains was of no harm to Kasimir.

The war will not break out, and the border will be stable. More importantly, Emperor Ursus is involved. It is conceivable that the old enemy country will not have a good time.

Now a huge transnational alliance is being formed in the center of the earth. As long as Longmen, Integration Movement, Kazdel, Letania, and Casimir stand together, everyone from Yan Kingdom to Colombia must maintain respect, and She will have time to push forward reforms.

"Your Excellency Ashes, here!"

As a high-tower noble who served as the head of the attendant shouted in a gentle tone, several big figures who were drinking tea stood up at the same time, turned their heads to look, and saw Ashes in a gorgeous robe walking in front, with a kind smile on the corner of his mouth .

He lost a bit of the fierceness of a warrior, and a bit more of the grace and luxury of a king, as if to remind a few people that Ashes is not only an executioner, but also an uncrowned king.

Ren walked very fast, and didn't bother to pay attention to the red tape. He nodded slightly as a greeting, and then dragged the chair and sat down. Naturally, a beautiful maid put black tea on the table.

"Thank you." Ren nodded very casually. He can drink elemental soup in the dungeon of the City of Sin, or chat and laugh in the palace of Losric, and he doesn't care about the environment at all.

"Your Excellency Ashes, you really are as informal as the rumors say." The Queen of the Night said lightly. The situation was tense before, and this was the first official contact.

"Disappointed?"

"No, this kind of you is different from those superior beings. I don't like to deal with a template of a fairy tale." The Queen of the Night also relaxed a lot, and by the way included a wave of Lateran people.

Danino smiled helplessly. He was a defeated general who almost made a big mistake, so it was really difficult to refute.

After dismissing the maid, the three of them sat down together. Ren continued to maintain his informal character, took a sip of tea, and went straight to the point.

"I want to know the details of the Witch King in Letania."

The queen had been prepared for a long time, and she slid a stack of documents along the table, explaining: "These are all proven legends, please read them over."

Ren was not polite, took it over and opened it to look at it, as if changing his face, first frowning, then loosening, then wrinkling again, and finally suddenly realized.

Sure enough, there are more than one generation of witch kings, and they will eventually collapse themselves in the end, and the inheritance is completed by the blood-red horn.In short, it ate something it shouldn't eat, and it desperately wanted to find a way out.

It's fine if it's not Eldridge himself, otherwise some 'old friend' would suddenly jump out and seek revenge on me, that wouldn't be too good.

Eliminating a hidden danger, he found some fragments of words from the literature, the Witch King is not them, nor is it a subordinate of the sky, but after a long time, it still found another way out.

"Link the consciousness of the sky to form an illusory kingdom."

There is only a short sentence. As for what the Empire of Consciousness is and how to save yourself after linking, there is no mention in the literature, but Ren only needs to search his memory a little to find the answer.

Whether it's the pursuit of the witch king's residual poison, or the strange dream every time he is hit by an armor-piercing dog, all the clues undoubtedly point to one place.

Ceobe?

Ren tapped the table lightly a few times, killing intent flashed in his eyes, and finally shook his head and laughed.

"Why are you laughing?" Danino asked.

"It's nothing, I just found some insignificant information, it doesn't matter, it won't affect the result." Ren slid the file back without saying a single lie.

These things can only answer questions, whether they know it or not, they will kill people.

The Queen of the Night was a little suspicious, but she was cold-tempered and didn't bother to discuss a dead person.

The remnants of the Witch King's poison have been cleared away, where they come from and where they want to go is meaningless to her.

Returning the document lightly, Ren leaned his body and propped his head with one hand. The image of a certain boss flashed in his mind, and he said in a deep voice like that:

"Then let's get straight to the point. Knight Yao should have told you that my enemy is not in the nations of Terra. As long as I don't get in the way, I won't interfere in internal affairs. But if anyone wants to jump out and make trouble, I won't. Don’t mind changing the power structure a bit.”

When he came up, he clarified his position. The queen and the head of the group were also thoughtful, feeling that all the previous guesses were wrong.

They thought that Ashes threatened the general situation to promote the alliance, but unexpectedly the other party only made a minimum request:

Just do nothing.

This is not in line with common sense. Could it be that Ashes wants to play hard to get?

"You are very confused, think I am playing tricks?" Ren saw these expressions and shook his head mockingly: "Don't get me wrong, no amount of contracts, no amount of benefits can match the most basic survival instinct, when survival When a crisis comes, all past hatred will evaporate."

Absolutely confident, Ryan disdains the exchange of interests for politicians.

"So your enemies are those ancient existences?" The Queen of the Night leaned forward, speaking a little cryptically.

"They are not worthy yet. The True Dragon of Yan Kingdom has already killed them seven or eight times. Even if they unite, they will not be the opponents of modern humans."

"Then who else is there?" The queen was not surprised, strength was the basis for maintaining the ancient contract.

It is not sincerity that they have not made a comeback, but human beings already have the power to say 'no'.

Ren smiled and stretched out his index finger. He tapped the ground first, and then pointed to the sky. Everyone followed and saw that the autumn sun was shining brightly and the sky was cloudless, but their pupils shrank slightly.

Those present were all top leaders from various countries, and they may not know as much as Kelsey, but they have also heard about some things that have long been buried in the dust of history. They looked at each other and saw the confusion on each other's faces.

They really didn't expect this level. Even if Pope Lateran and Emperor Ursus were to blame, it would only make people want to make a comeback at the apex of their conspiracy.

"Are you sure?" The Queen of the Night's eyes changed. According to ancient legends, she didn't even dare to describe the enemy.

"Very sure, whether it's the ten thousand miles of ice fields, the boundless sea, or the hot land of the wind and wind, do you need me to name all of these wild places outside the civilized world? Even the natural disaster itself... "

"Please shut up!" Danino slapped the table suddenly, the pupils of this top powerhouse were shaking, like a mountain pressing on his back, he roared in a low voice:

"Don't try to describe, don't try to approach, don't try to understand! Your words themselves will bring disaster!!"

The queen looked at him, and did not reprimand him for his gaffe, while Margaret was a little confused. She had only read a few words in the family classics, and now her mind was full of question marks.

Ren stared at the head of the group in fear, and slowly raised his head: "If I don't even have the qualifications to mention his name, how can I talk about confrontation."

"Those things are impossible to fight against!" The grand leader's reaction was very fierce, as if he had been in contact with it before.

He has been to the ice field, and he has also been to the sea. The more he knows, the more he fears, because it is an abyss, full of unknown horrors, no one can understand what is inside, and human beings are like sticking around the abyss. Fence, you never know what monsters will rush out of it.

The autumn is high, and the birds and flowers are fragrant on the deck of the land ship, but except for Danino's heavy breathing, everything is quiet.

Yao Knight was confused, while the Queen of the Night was expressionless. She deliberately hid some information about the Witch King. She didn't expect the topic to go deep into this level.

It was in this silence that Ren suddenly asked: "Then why do you think I have to fight? Why do I have to work so hard to unite one country after another?"

Danino opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't speak. If it was really those ancient people, why bother with Ashes' strength, humans can handle it by themselves.

The Old Ones have long since lost their dominance, and they either crumble into pieces and become weaker, or stay where they are, while humans continue to progress.

In the past, smashing a mountain was enough to make humans kneel down to worship, but now the land ship under their feet can do it too. Ashes holds a million soldiers in his hands, and it is not difficult to replicate the deeds of the True Dragon of Great Flame again.

"So my enemy is only him, and it can only be him. The reality is so cruel, and you—" Ren spoke again, leaning forward, his tone gradually becoming passionate.

"Wash your neck and wait to die? Or kneel down and pray to become a slave of a new ruler? Let's see the reality clearly, slaves need to create value, and you should be very clear about what monsters outside of civilization need. !"

These words hit the bottom of my heart. Natural disasters are raging, and ore diseases are spreading. Those things are not as easy to talk about as those "gods". They don't need to create religions for humans to worship, and they don't need to create value like capitalists.

"Let me just say that human beings are just food in a certain sense, but they have created societies and built prosperous cities over the long years, but in the end they have become pack animals that are slaughtered at will." Ren shook his hand. Tan, the whole person leaned on the back of the chair, his eyes showed no emotion.
