this is my ark journey

Hey, dead wood cannot be carved, such a simple lullaby can be sung like a chicken crowing.

Ren had a face full of helplessness, and closed his eyes again. Just now he felt a little confused, some debris fell on his face, and the embers of vigilance suddenly opened again, and his blood pressure soared after seeing the situation clearly.

Ceobe was eating bread, and the crumbs fell on his face along the gully in the middle of the circle.

"Sister, can you sit quietly?"

"But I'm so bored, please, please, I won't eat anymore." Seeing that Ryan was about to get up, Ceobe quickly suppressed him. The latter felt a little uneasy, and it was not easy to discourage Shagou's enthusiasm.

"Last chance, otherwise I'll find a corner to sleep." Ren gritted his teeth, and if this went on, he didn't fall asleep, but fainted from a cerebral hemorrhage.

"Don't worry, I will sit quietly this time!" Ceobe patted his chest to reassure, the two balls trembled like jelly.

Is there really such a Q bomb? Why do I have no desire to verify it?

The eyelids were too heavy, so Ren didn't think about it, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

He seemed to have a dream, dreaming that a flame emerged in the darkness, just like a guiding light, luring him to keep moving forward.

The flame was extremely far away, and the embers chasing it continued to accelerate, but the distance never shortened. The embers looked at their feet and saw that they were not stepping on land, but a piece of sea.

A sun-like flame hangs in the sky, the ocean is bottomless, and Ren, who walks on the water, feels that he is being submerged by the ocean.

Spreading upwards from the soles of his feet, Ren struggled frantically, but the seawater still submerged upwards, unable to stop it, and there was no way out. It was like throwing a stone into the sea, and the result could only sink to the bottom.

Calf, thigh, waist, chest... The sea water finally overflowed the neck, Ren kept struggling, breathing crazily, but no air entered the nasal cavity, the veins on his forehead were bulging, his hands were ferocious, instinct was no match for despair , as every drowning man suffocates alive.

So sad.

He felt that all the power was leaving his body, stepping into the boundary of life and death.

"Ren seems to be having a nightmare?"

On the rooftop, W and Ines, who came to check, stood at the entrance and saw the man's hands shaking and waving like a drowning man.

From their point of view, Ryan was lying on Ceobe's lap, while the girl lowered her head, snoring sounded from her nose, she leaned forward, and two huge balls of meat were pressing on the man's face.

Can this not be uncomfortable?

W looked at Ren who was struggling non-stop, and suddenly stretched out his hand to hold Ines, who was going to save his life, with a real devil smile on his face.

"Don't worry, let him suffer for a while."

Chapter 71 Kindness, Righteousness, and Love!

The autumn day was high, and it was almost noon. Ren sat up straight and took a deep breath. He had never felt the air so sweet.

Grass, I almost died!

The air entered the body, and the drowsy head suddenly became more clear, but the thinking was still frozen, and it took a long time to recover.

Why don't you just sleep, why almost lie back in the coffin.

"Hey, it's okay, but I didn't expect you to be a pervert." W folded his hands and leaned forward, looking like he was gloating.

"Which pervert have you ever seen was smothered to death?" Ren turned his head to the side, revealing his bloodshot eyes, and his brain gradually became clear.

No wonder the dream was about falling into the deep sea. It turned out that it was really difficult to breathe. Fortunately, W and Ines happened to come, otherwise Renn would be listed on the list of the most stupid ways to die.

"Hey, Ren, are you awake?"

A lazy voice came, and Keobe, who was still kneeling on the ground, yawned, showing four pointed canine teeth, and kept rubbing his eyes with his hands. This cute look made Renn's emotions soar Blood pressure suddenly calmed down.

It's not the first day I met this silly dog, isn't it basic practice to do such a thing?

"If I sleep again, I will sleep forever." Ren laughed at himself, thinking that sleeping with a woman would be a bad thing. Last time, he was almost killed by a man in Skadi's arms, and just now he was hit by Ceobe's Sleeping Milk , can not afford to provoke.

"It's so good to sleep all the time, so you don't have to be hungry or afraid..." Ceobe was talking about the benefits, but when he was stared at by Ren's violent eyes, he quickly closed his mouth, and then felt aggrieved .

She didn't know what was wrong, and her ears drooped quickly.

"I'm really scared of you." Seeing this, Ren threw out a piece of jerky, and Ceobe, who was still sullen just now, stuffed it into his mouth, and his tail immediately wagged. It only took a short second from being wronged to being happy.

"You're really funny." W smiled and touched the dog's head, and Ceobe didn't struggle, since after having a good dinner, the bad woman is no longer hateful.

"Hey, don't try to play tricks on Ceobe." Ren patted W's hand away. This woman is too dangerous, and Ceobe had better stay away.

"Panic? Hehe, taking advantage of a fool is not what a man should do."

"When did I take advantage of her??" Ren looked confused, he had completely different ideas about Ceobe and Skadi.

"Tsk, I'm so unhappy." W curled his lips, but he didn't think the two people were innocent, and his smile was a little charming, "She's too stupid, why don't you replace me next time?"

"Forget it, I don't want to be stabbed to death in my sleep." Ren refused without hesitation, and replaced it with W. He would probably be hung outside the building as a human flagpole when he woke up.

"You want to say that I'm not as good as this silly Pello?" W's smile froze.

"I'm not the only one who thinks this way, hehe, talk to the rest of the group and see if anyone runs away without turning around."

"Ren, don't think that because you saved my life, you dare not kill you!"

"Then you give me back your life first."

"Okay, after I kill you, I will pay you back immediately."

"Don't, don't, our relationship is not good enough to die for love."

W pulled out his saber, and was about to rush forward to fight Rennes, but Ines quickly pulled her back, W turned his head to the side, with an ambiguous smile.

"I can't see it, you have an affair with him too."

It's none of my business?

Ines, who was lying down and shot, was taken aback for a moment, and then she realized who the mad dog was catching and biting, she rolled her eyes and said, "We have business to do."

She didn't think it was strange, she just felt that after one night, this Ren was much braver, not only dared to confront W, but his skill was even higher than that of the latter, and he was so angry that he was so incompetent.

Perhaps it was Ines who shared the firepower, the girl holding the knife froze, and it took a while to straighten up.

"Ren, you'd better keep your eyes open when you sleep in the future."

With the sweetest smile and the most ruthless words, W put a knife into the sheath, turned around and left.

"Why are you messing with her?" Ines looked puzzled when she saw her back going away.

"I was suppressed enough along the way, just treat it as my revenge, and this journey will continue with you all the way, find a way to convince W."

Ines was right. Ren was different after one night, not only because the flames had gained confidence again, but also because he decided to do something.

In the past, we were just walking together with the Cardinals. Anyway, sooner or later we just need to stay farther away from W, but Ren has no plans to leave now, and this ticking time bomb must be ruled out.

"Convince W? You think too much, and she won't accept it." Ines snorted, this is simply a fantasy.

"I have a solution." Ren didn't say it clearly. He glanced at Ceobe, who was happily eating jerky, and asked, "What's the matter?"

After going around in a big circle, and finally getting back to business, Ines, who was still sneering just now, suddenly became serious.

"The leaders of some mercenary groups want to see you."

"Didn't I let you block it back?"

"They want to merge with the Cardinals. Hedley and I can't decide on this matter." Ines frowned slightly. This matter is too big.

So just throw me this consultant?

Ren couldn't help complaining, he didn't think he was smarter than Hedley, but the great prestige brought by killing Alcador, just like the rebellion had to pull a highly respected person as a banner.

As the first 'Sarkaz' commoner who killed a high-ranking noble head-on, while reaping the hatred of Potraxis, many people who are oppressed on weekdays will also move closer to him.

"Then see you."

"I'll arrange a meeting room right away."

"No, it's fine here."

"It's on the roof?" Ines looked at the roof full of burn marks, and suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

Ren held on to the railing with both hands and looked at the entire black market: "I don't plan to raise the flag to be king, for mercenaries, this place is enough."

"Okay." The words made sense, but Ines didn't refute, and was stopped after taking a few steps.

"Wait, you take Ceobe down to have breakfast." Ren glanced at the jerky after eating, and was looking like a silly dog ​​with "I want more". Thinking of the previous painful experiences, he clenched the railing slightly .

It's hard, I'm ready!

Not long after, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps at the entrance of the corridor, and the mercenary leaders headed by Garson went up to the roof. They were small in number but all of them were sturdy, with swords and crossbows on their backs, and all of them had survived the battle.

Not only is their personal strength strong, each of them has dozens of younger brothers, who have made a name for themselves in Kazdel, and after last night, the Sarkaz mercenaries have also undergone drastic changes.

Tracy obviously broke the rules by letting people be used as scapegoats. At least in the underground black market, the mercenary groups are all sad, but if they want to survive, they have to stick together.

Several people stepped onto the roof, and Garson, who was the strongest, stopped in his footsteps, and saw a young man, Sarkaz, holding on to the railing and looking at the black market.

The weird leather armor was covered with scars and bloodstains. It looked quite old, as if it had been handed down from generation to generation by a certain family. The eyes under the pointed helmet were long and long, as if looking at the distant future instead of the scenery.

'It's really not easy. '

Accustomed to seeing vulgar mercenaries, Garson had to admit that this person was not of the same kind, but thinking about it, which mercenary dared to make such a decision last night.

Just when he was in a daze, Ren turned around, and several leaders hurriedly performed a breast-beating salute. Before he had time to introduce himself, the young man spoke first.

"If you choose to merge now, aren't you afraid that Tracy will kill you all?"

The straightforward words made several people stunned, they looked at each other, and finally it was Garson who took a step forward.

"Sooner or later you will die in Kazdel, who kills you?"

Ren was not surprised by the standard mercenary logic. He nodded and said, "Then you can leave."

"The people in the regiment who wanted to leave have already left, and those who are left are unfinished." Garson stood up straight with one hand holding the knife, "I heard Hedley say that you want Sarkaz to die It makes sense, to me, it makes sense to let those nobles who make money in the civil war and treat people's lives as worthless, eat shit!"

The burning killing intent made Ren frowned and looked around at these people.

"Do you have any enmity with the nobles?"

"Who in Kazdel has no hatred? It's just that some have seen it through, some were kept in the dark by the killing, and some knew what was going on but didn't dare to do it. Otherwise, with the reputation of His Royal Highness Teresia, the civil war would have ended long ago. Already!"

It was simple and straightforward, and Ren understood it right away.

This land is cruel and fair. Kazdel was destroyed by sibling disputes. This is a stain that can never be washed away. As far as mercenaries are concerned, they can respect Theresia's personality and Teresia's wrist, but they must never It is impossible to be willing to work for them.

Blood can make the field more fertile, but it is the lower classes who bleed, and the royal family and nobles who reap it.

"The last question, why me?" Ren became completely serious, and added: "Don't say I'm a banner or something."

"Okay, then I'll tell you frankly." As the first person to choose to merge, Garson took a deep breath.

"Anyone who dares to kill Tracys has the guts! Save that bastard Hedley regardless of his own comfort, he has a sense of loyalty! Distributing the supplies to those rats in the underground pipe network has a sense of loyalty!"

"Since I want to find someone to be my backer, why don't I find someone who is kind, righteous, and affectionate?!"

Chapter 72 The Unexpected Enemy

People are doing it, and the sky is watching. Ren is just doing things according to Huihui's habit, but in the eyes of others, he is a strange person.

There are some things that shouldn’t be done, but he did them, and some people couldn’t be killed, but he just killed them. In other places, he might lament that a group of people would hide and become a diving powder while shouting ‘there’s kind’, but this is in Katz Dale, what he saw was a group of rebellious Sarkaz mercenaries!

Going to extremes is the characteristic of this race. Just being good at fighting and loving killing doesn't earn you the title of 'demon race'.

"I'm not as great as you imagined." Ren laughed dumbly, but he understood that he had ignited their long-suppressed resentment.

"Of course these alone are not enough. I've seen too many idiots who are desperate for death." Garson shook his head and said very seriously:

"Only by living can you have a chance to do things, and if you want to live long, you have to use your brains. Your immediate alliance with the Tower of Babel made the big guys look up a bit."

Oh, it was testing my IQ before.

Ren smiled. There is no psychological obstacle for these people to cooperate with Teresia. Not only is he famous, but he also has some aristocratic reformers under his command, which are incompatible with those royal conservatives. Possess overwhelming military power.

Although it is not ruled out that there are people who want to exchange their heads for money, but this is enough.

In order to complete that bet, he needs a lot of people to help.

He glanced at the film girl who was watching him not far away, stretched out his right hand, and tightly held hands full of calluses.

"Welcome to the Cardinals."

The central part of the underground black market is full of high-rise buildings, and the top of a giant signal tower can barely see everything on the rooftop.

The autumn wind blew and lifted the light green dress, and Kelsey saw the man shaking hands with mercenaries from a distance, his face still expressionless.

"Lord Kelsey, you shouldn't have agreed to him so easily." ACE stood beside him, straightening his sunglasses.

Cardinals with only a few dozen people are easy to control, but now the scale is several times larger, enough to become a mountain inside the Tower of Babel.
