Alligator's Ark of Tomorrow

“Uh.” Gard thought for a moment and said, “He’s probably cutting sashimi in Lungmen.”

Seraya: "???"

However, Serea didn't know why Gard's half-brother was cutting sashimi in Ryumen, but he certainly wouldn't be able to get there anytime soon.

Don't worry.

Gard patted Seria on the shoulder.

"The person who knows how to command combat will appear on their own when needed. Even if you let our modern officers command the battle, do you think they can understand the fighting style of a group of lizardmen?"

Serea nodded in response to Gard's words.

Modern military operations are completely different from primitive military operations. In the absence of effective information about the enemy, it is actually unnecessary to consider those things.

"Gald, was the medicine you once used obtained from this ancient civilization?"

Serea recalled that although she had learned from Gard that a drug that could suppress Oripathy could be found deep in the Hot Land, Gard had never said where the drug was.

"No, it actually has absolutely nothing to do with these ancient empires."

Gard shook his head. Now that he was already here, there was no need for him to hide anything anymore.

"The medicine I'm talking about is actually the blood of a supernatural being. Four years ago, I severely injured it."

As Gard spoke, his golden pupils gradually deepened in his gaze.

"It is the guardian of ancient civilizations. If we attack ancient civilizations, it will surely appear!"

"I'll figure out how to deal with it when the time comes."

"In short, don't worry too much. With the help of these indigenous people of this land, our journey ahead will be much smoother. Now, let's conserve our energy and not fall in the final battle."

Gard changed his tone and laughed.

His words were addressed not only to Serea, but also to T, the exiled leader of Rhine Life.

We're almost at the final stop, so please don't collapse on the way to get off!

Next, Gard found the hooded lizardman and asked him for information about the Nightmare Knights, but as a descendant of the Nightmares, he knew nothing about his ancestors.

All he knew was that his ancestors had a very glorious past, and perhaps the things deep in the earth could recreate that glory.

But Gard wanted to say that glory is never bestowed by ancestors, but earned through one's own efforts.

The descendants of the Nightmare Knights have been assimilated by the land and lost their sharpness.

Indeed, to understand the past of nightmares, one must ask those who witnessed that history firsthand!

Kal'tsit!

As night fell, Gard refused the other Rhine Labs agents' requests to help with the night watch.

On the vast desert, a figure draped in a cloak appeared and disappeared.

"Were you waiting for me?"

“You helped me when I was giving a speech before, so that it can be called a speech.”

“You speak Sakaz.”

"Isn't it natural to be fluent in several foreign languages ​​when you're traveling abroad?"

Gard reached out and used some of his restored Ascension power to manipulate the sand and create a stool.

"Please sit down."

Gard saw the woman before him obediently sit in the chair he had made, as if she truly regarded him as a messenger of a god, and he himself as an ordinary lizardman.

If Gard hadn't known that the woman before him was older than all the Rhine Lab's agents combined, he might have actually been fooled.

"Madam, please raise your head. Here, you don't need to hide anything."

“My lord, my appearance is too ugly and will frighten you.”

"Oh."

Gard smiled.

“Ms. Kal'tsit, how long are you going to play dumb with me? I didn’t come here to watch you put on a show. If your face is really ugly, then what about those Rhine Lab agents who came into the Hot Land with me?”

Gard directly uttered Kal'tsit's name, causing the figure sitting opposite him to fall into a slight silence.

"Mr. Gard."

Kelsey called out Gard's name. Gard was not surprised that Kelsey knew his name. He saw Kelsey raise her head and look at him with a pair of emerald green eyes.

“I want you to know that accidents can bring immeasurable disasters to this land. Neither you nor I can bear the pain brought about by change. The time is not yet ripe.”

Gard tilted his head and thought for a while before he understood what Kal'tsit was talking about.

"You mean, all of this happened because I went in and out of this hot land."

His gaze gradually turned dangerous, and Gard pointed to himself.

Are you blaming me?

......

Chapter 88 You're a good person!

"No, I didn't mean to blame you."

Kelsey denied Gard's claim.

“This land is not kind. I have been to Akahura and know that the medical conditions there are not optimistic.”

“The people of the rainforest lack knowledge about mineral disease, and your decision to leave Akahura to treat your mother’s illness was not wrong.”

"On the contrary, it is our incompetence as elders to send a fourteen-year-old child away from home to dangerous and forbidden lands in order to treat his mother's carcinoma."

Kal'tsit's words were not as harsh as Gard had imagined. Aside from her initial words which seemed like a warning, her current words gave Gard a strange feeling.

Kal'tsit, she's comforting herself!?

This old woman can comfort people?

Gard felt unreal. Was it because Theresa hadn't died that Kal'tsit's temper wasn't as bad as it would become later?

Gard felt he had discovered the truth.

"What, is there something on my face?"

Noticing that Gard was staring at her, Kal'tsit asked.

Her decision to come was made after careful consideration.

First, based on the information currently available, it can be concluded that Gard's character is not bad.

On the contrary, he is kind, especially to those around him.

Secondly, it's because Gard was too young.

Eighteen years old is considered an adult in Terra, but in her eyes, she is still a child who hasn't grown up.

The crisis in this land cannot be ignored. Whether it is the demons in the north or the sea creatures in the south, they each have their own enemies. The nations are aware of their existence, so they have been sparing no effort to deal with them.

This is the only land that no one can set foot on, and the nations of Terra know very little about it. Otherwise, they wouldn't have thought of organizing a group to enter this land just because one Adaklesian had been there.

Ultimately, Colombia's history is not deep enough for them to know the scenery beyond the high walls.

Fortunately, they weren't too ignorant; before entering, they even invited the crocodile people who had been to the hot land before.

Thinking of this, Kal'tsit's gaze swept over Gard's robust body. When Gard was angry, Kal'tsit even thought she was facing a Sarkaz royal court.

He's so young!

While Kelsey was remarking on Gard's age, Gard was also questioning Kelsey's age.

Beneath the grey cloak, Kal'tsit was so beautiful, with short white hair, emerald green eyes, and skin as white and flawless as a pearl shell under the warm sun.

Especially the pair of cat ears on the hood, which made Gard want to rush up and rub them with his hands.

Is this woman really tens of thousands of years old?

The only regret is that Kal'tsit's face always seems to remain calm, without the slightest fluctuation, as if nothing can shake her will.

“Mr. Gard, I don’t know where you heard my name from. I don’t consider myself famous enough to be known by everyone.”

"I just happened to have heard the name before."

A thousand years ago, the Nightmare army was invincible in Terra, but at the height of its glory, it chose to enter the land of the dead.

All of this was due to the slander of an immortal.

"Kal'tsit, I've seen you before!"

"I understand."

Kal'tsit wasn't surprised; she had left too many footprints on this land. Perhaps there were many people in the world with the same name as her. Ordinary people couldn't believe that the lifespan of a single filament could span the entire history of Terra.

However, in the land of passion, in the dreams of nightmares, and in the territory of the Empire of Consciousness, perhaps her figure will appear.

This was the only explanation Kal'tsit could think of, because the distance between Salgon and Karzdale was so great that even the best messenger would need several months to cross the route.

How could an Adakles living in the rainforest know her name?

unless......

Kal'tsit managed to control her thoughts, preventing them from spiraling out of control.

Regardless of whether the man before her was an Adaklesian or not, he was a force she had to fight for. They were now passengers on the same ship, and if the ship sank, it would benefit no one.

After sizing each other up for a while, the two finally got past the boring probing and got down to business.

Kal'tsit spoke up, "Gal'der, I've come to help you fight the calamity from the depths of this land. I know we can't trust each other yet, but I want you to believe that everything I've done is not for my own selfish desires."

She should have arrived here much earlier, but the changes in Kazdale distracted her and forced her to postpone her trip repeatedly.

As a result, she arrived too late.

So much so that the giant she persuaded disappeared after entering the depths of the hot land.

Although Surtr is still alive, Kal'tsit knows that she probably won't be able to withstand the will of the giant god again anytime soon.

After Surtr's failure, Kal'tsit began to gain the trust of the Reptilians, but plans could not keep up with changes. The miracles created by Gard made all the Reptilians regard him as a divine messenger.

Most importantly, Gard knew about the changes deep within the land, and he chose to venture into those depths.

This leaves her with very few options.

Even though she still had some backup plans, among the many options, only the one with the highest probability of success was that of Gald.

So, she came.

People are often accustomed to being self-righteous, pretending to know what they don't know about things and others, and thinking they have seen the whole world just by glancing out the window from their room.

She didn't expect to gain Gard's trust, but at least she wanted him to believe what she said and take the potential crisis on the land seriously...

"So what do you think we should do?"

"Ok?"

"Didn't you come here to help us? Then tell us your plan, and we'll see how we can cooperate with you."

"You... are willing to believe me?"

"As long as you don't lead us all into the mire, to be honest, I'm not good at maneuvering. I'll just have a bunch of lizardmen charge with me. If you have a better way, why wouldn't I listen to you?"

Nonsense, even if the old woman's skills are terrible, it's still a perfect tactical plan.

And him? Ordinary!

As for why Gard was willing to believe Kal'tsit.

Because he knew Kal'tsit's weakness, he had the confidence to turn the tables even if Kal'tsit tricked them.

Most importantly, Kal'tsit is a good person!

......

Chapter 89 Seraya: He's my boyfriend!

Kelsey seemed to have returned to a long time ago.

She once walked alone on this land, doing and sacrificing a lot to fight against the conflicts on this land, but all her efforts were in vain.

It is impossible for people to understand each other.
