Hello, Arknights

Chapter 190 Crown Light

The sun disappeared below the horizon, and the cold Ursus night came menacingly. However, Ling Dengxian was now sweating profusely because he was standing within the attack range of a Wendigo who, if he got serious, could probably weld him into the ground with one slap.

Although he was usually uneasy, he would not have such worries. However... the patriots should not know what happened by the river just now... He did not dare to think about what would happen if...

"Yelena, the others are still waiting for you. Bai Ge and I will be here soon."

Ling Dengxian was shocked, and Shuangxing naturally understood that his father was trying to get rid of him. He was confused at the time, but he didn't say much, and his father naturally had his decision.

"Then I'll go first." The slightly chilly breath beside her walked away, and she turned back to look at him again, smiling with a hint of gloating.

Ling Dengxian didn't dare to be distracted any longer. The moon had already risen, but the black Sarkaz in front of him seemed to be able to swallow up all the moonlight nearby and just stood there in front of him.

"You, follow me." The Patriot did not explain, but it was obvious that this was not the place he wanted to talk. Ling Dengxian noticed that the traces left by the Wendigo were unexpectedly much shallower than he had imagined.

The fighter’s weight is noticeable, but that doesn’t mean he can’t negate that aspect to some extent.

Ultimately, this is a manifestation of the control of strength.

Ling Dengxian had no reason to refuse, so he sighed and trotted after him. Why were you walking so fast?

The two men left the camp. Ling Dengxian was still unsure, but Bozhukatis's pace remained steady. They soon came to an open area. The Patriot stopped and turned to look at him.

"I watched your fight, and I am sure you are hiding something."

The dull opening remarks suddenly raised Ling Dengxian's sense of crisis. As soon as he took a step back, he realized that he was still within the opponent's attack range, even though the man in front of him only carried a shield.

"Mr. Patriot...didn't we say we wanted to talk about treatment..." Ling Dengxian pulled the corner of his mouth and revealed a miserable smile.

Wendigo sighed, and white steam came out through the auxiliary breathing system: "I don't mean to do anything, there's no need to do this."

Ling Dengxian was stunned for a moment, then relaxed his guard a little, and found that the warrior in front of him always exuded a peaceful aura. The elder's eyes fell on his shoulder.

He realized that Bodrakatis was actually already an old man. Apart from his identity as the Shield of the Infected, if it were anyone else, wouldn't it be time for him to enjoy his retirement?

He should understand, so he suddenly relaxed and showed a tired expression: "Well... yes, but everyone has secrets, do you really want me to... confess?"

"No...it's just that I really want to know what happened to Kazdel. Although I have left, there is no doubt that this is what every Sarkaz from there wants."

"What's more, I sensed some strange fluctuations in you, but there was no sign of the Demon King's fall."

"Your Highness, is she okay?"

Bozhukatis asked a lot of questions, and Ling Dengxian was confused. These were all mentioned in the main storyline, but... he always felt something was wrong... and he didn't know any of this. He had never even seen "His Highness".

"I don't know," he answered truthfully.

"..." There was a long silence.

The tall Wendigo sighed and asked, "How much do you know about Kazdel?"

"I know nothing." Ling Dengxian answered straightforwardly.

"... Kazdel, my original hometown and the root of all Sarkaz, disappeared from this land four years ago along with most of the Sarkaz.

"I can feel that it's not just the city and its huge population that have disappeared. We have also lost some kind of guidance. Our highness has also disappeared in that city." The patriot led him to sit down beside a fallen tree trunk. His low voice narrated an astonishing upheaval. Ling Dengxian found it very unreal. It was unlikely that a country could just disappear inexplicably without leaving any trace.

"You...are sad about this?"

"I am a person who left my hometown. It is understandable and cannot be changed. My current homeland... is Ursus, but that does not mean I am heartless and heartless." Wendigo's breath was filled with a barely perceptible sadness. He raised his head and looked at the twin moons in the sky, as if his hometown was hidden in the sky. "What's more... no matter what, she is still Her Highness."

Ling Dengxian saw the terrifying skeleton under the hideous bone mask, and vaguely could tell that the old man's face was a skeleton, but at this moment, sadness swept over him.

He believed that if Bodrocates still had tear glands, he would have shed tears by now.

What about him?

Ling Dengxian suddenly realized, where is his home? How long has it been since he had a headache because of homework and laughed at others? How long has it been since he walked around the campus without peeking at girls and his heart was beating wildly?

Although he is not sociable, he still has the fantasy of getting to know the girl he doesn't know.

He used this as a self-deprecating pastime, but when a girl asked him his name, he answered "Labor Committee Member"...

Thinking about it, it is indeed a little difficult to evaluate myself back then, but... he does miss it, but... he doesn't know how he would be able to continue to persevere without the bagpipe.

Maybe another "Bagpipe" will come into his life?

The two people were so silent. Ling Dengxian understood his concerns. He took a deep breath, connected with the strength in his heart, and white flames flickered in his eyes.

"Hmm?" The Patriot noticed something was wrong and lowered his head. The boy took off his gloves, and the Originium crystals on the back of his hands slowly expanded. His eyes were sincere, then gentle. He put his palms together and looked at the old man who missed his past.

"Patriot... No, Mr. Bodrocates, I am willing to answer your questions."

He slowly spread out his palms, and a white gilded crown that looked like a firefly appeared in his hands, emitting a mysterious glow.

"!" The Patriot was shocked. This was indeed the source of his strange feeling, but he had seen the black crown, and the crown in front of him was obviously not the real "king".

"I don't know anything more. I don't know... whether it will give you an answer." Ling Dengxian let go and felt a sharp pain in the back of his hand. The crown disappeared again, and that inexplicable power also disappeared.

"...At least, you don't have bad intentions." The Patriot let out a long sigh and said kindly. Ling Dengxian could even hear a smile in his voice.

"Is your hand okay?" The old man noticed his change just now.

"...It shouldn't be a problem. At least now I'm a genuine infected person." Ling Dengxian said mischievously. There weren't many opportunities to relax in front of his elders like this.

"Oh, by the way, it's time to talk about your ore disease. Froststar has given you special instructions..."

"Well, we'll talk about that later." The Patriot stood up, paused with his shield, took a long breath, and then looked at him with a joking look, "You seemed a little bit nervous in the previous battle. Come, I'll practice with you."

Ling Dengxian was petrified on the spot.

"Big sister, why haven't Big Dad and Bai Ge come back yet? Nothing happened, right? Although it's unlikely with Big Dad around..."

"You already know everything, so why are you still worried? Are you afraid that Bai Ge will challenge the old man without knowing his own abilities?" Shuang Xing said unhappily, "If you have the time to spare, you might as well go to the kitchen and help out."

Texas and Chi Yu quietly watched under the tree as the Integration Movement began to get busy. The night patrol work had already begun to be assigned. She thought for a moment, patted Chi Yu's cheek, and the man and the beast walked towards the tent. After the infected warrior hesitated, they took a night patrol mission.

She didn't care about the infected's vigilance, but now there was reason to spend a little more time exploring the lurker's tracks.

After all, Ling Dengxian wasn't very worried, so she had to pay more attention.

At this moment, she and Frost Star passed each other. A loud noise erupted from far outside the camp. Both of them were stunned and stopped.

Carters recognized that was the direction in which the white dove and his father had left.

"what……"

On the other side, Zi and Wu fought each other, and her Xuanlang went to bully W. Both sides stopped fighting in the end, but W suffered the most.

"How did you get here?" He stopped, but Wu did not take it lightly. The giant wolf's mouth in front of him was really powerful.

"...I'm just, pursuing a request." Zi pulled up his cloak, knowing that it was meaningless to continue fighting, and called out, and Black Wolf immediately withdrew from W and came to his master.

"He did what I thought was impossible, which was no different from a miracle to me. I think he might... Never mind, it has nothing to do with you." She took a last glance at the uninvited guest, turned over and climbed onto the wolf's back, and left without any intention of staying for a moment.

"*Mercenary swear*! Why don't you let me use bombs!!" W's eyes were blazing with fire, and his face was bruised. He was facing the subordinate Black Wolf of the Giant Wolf's Mouth, and it was no joke!

"Do you want to lure the Ursus Army here..." Wu was helpless about her accusations, but he could only bear with it.

"Damn it, when I find that bastard I'm going to make his life miserable!!" She couldn't beat Wu, so naturally she blamed Ling Dengxian for it.
