Ark Traveler, I want to take a day off today too

As he spoke, the strange inner guard threw a prismatic token emitting an ominous black aura at Linley’s feet: “The current emperor is very interested in you. He is eager to work with all people with lofty ideals to cut off those parts that corrupt Ursus.” After saying this, he disappeared from the spot, leaving Linley in a daze.

“What the hell is this? How could the current Ursus Emperor know about a nobody like me?” Linley picked up the token from the ground without hesitation. The faint black aura emanating from it was the unique power and proof of the Ursus Internal Guards:

“And he’s attracted to me? Either he’s jealous of my fighting ability, or he’s a gay man who’s jealous of my beauty.” But isn’t it even more disgusting to think this way? Lin Lei immediately got goosebumps all over the floor, and the side effects of using Warfarin Blood also began to slowly take effect.

A feeling of weakness suddenly swept over his body, as if he had not eaten anything after staying up all night. Lin Lei then staggered towards the campsite - he was extremely tired now, but the most urgent task at the moment was to ensure the safety of his lover. After all, he could not confirm whether this was a trick by the inner guards to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and the inner guard’s country had blocked his perception of the outside world.

"But Hunter... this title is really interesting, but I don't know if it will flash..."

005. Crossing the border

When Linley woke up again, it was already evening. He rubbed his eyes and sat up: “How long have I slept?”

“Eight hours. Did you use the blood injection?” As the maker of this potion, Warfarin naturally knew what would happen after using Lin Lei’s physical condition. Moreover, Lin Lei used a specially made concentrated version of Warfarin. According to Warfarin, an average person would become a destructive berserker with only two or three drops of her blood.

Linley took a shot when facing the stalker. It can only be said that his body’s specificity made him highly adaptable and resistant to this kind of stimulant. “Yes, I encountered one of the emperor’s inner guards while you were sleeping.”

Warfarin was shocked when he heard this: “Then why didn’t you wake me up?”

“He came to see me, not you, and what if you woke up?” Linley coughed twice and looked out the window. “That guy made me realize something… We are still within the borders of Ursus.”

"I can help you bite him to death when I wake up!" Huafarin said, revealing his two sharp fangs, making his already cute face even more playful. "But you, you only used one needle, how dare you use a second one?"

“That Emperor’s Inner Guard is stronger than the one I encountered before at Longmen, both in terms of combat experience and control over his own strength.” Lin Lei said softly. Out of protection for his beloved, he selectively ignored the fact that the Inner Guard had recruited him.

After all, this kind of thing was still too shocking in his opinion: "And even if you bite him, you probably won't be able to bite through his armor." Even if you bite through it, there probably won't be any flesh and blood for her to dilute, because the existence of the Emperor's Inner Guards has become a container for restraining the level of evil demons, and their bodies are in a sense no longer exist in the real dimension.

“It doesn’t matter, because we are about to get close to the border of Casimir. No matter how arrogant those internal guards are, they won’t enter other countries so recklessly.” Warfarin said confidently, and then she looked at Lin Lei with regret: “What a pity…”

"What a pity?"

"I haven't tasted the mixture of your blood and mine yet, how about you try one on the spot?"

"Crack~"

Linley gave a slap to a guy who was so unconscious: “If you want to be a widow, just say so.”

"Given your physical condition, you won't die if you get hit by another one...at most you'll just be a little anemic." Warfarin said as he put on a mask - they had already seen Casimir's knight outpost, and the knights in metal armor were already waving at them.

The two of them immediately stopped the car and handed over the clearance diplomas that Amiya had prepared for them—certificates for traveling merchants and messengers of natural disasters prepared by the Engineering Department.

"You two don't sound like Ursus from your voices and looks." The knight's voice sounded quite young, and the bloodstained long-handled axe in his hand proved a lot.

“We came from Longmen, and you all know about Longmen’s recent situation… So my wife and I drove all the way here, hoping to see Casimir’s Great Knight Kavaleriaki.” Linley said with a smile.

The trick of telling lies is to mix truth with lies and falsehood with truth. After confirming that the two were not infected, the knight immediately let them pass.

"I wish you two a happy honeymoon trip in Casimir." The knight's unintentional words immediately made a blood demon blush. After she got on the car, he pulled off his mask and cursed:

"Who's honeymoon trip would go to a small mountain village like this?"

“Oh, where are you going?” Linley propped up his head and admired Warfarin’s flawless face. If it weren’t for her skinny figure… well, it would be bad to think about it any further. ‘If you have a child in the future, won’t you have to find Frost Star or Star Bear to feed it?’

"At least it has to be a city like Xiosta. And don't think I didn't see... your expression is very rude!"

"I was wrong!" Someone slid down to his knees and said, "But how long will it take us to get there?"

"It will only be about three or four hours after we cross the border. I hope we don't have to face bounty hunters when we get there. After all, in my opinion, those bounty hunters are not much different from bandits." The blood demon who has lived for hundreds of years said calmly, and she stepped on the accelerator and the whole off-road vehicle flew towards the lush hillside like an arrow.

......Dishui Village......

Kuranta, dressed in Victorian Mounted Police style, and another petite Kuranta in a long skirt were trembling. The reason why these two were trembling was simple - the bounty hunters who had been wreaking havoc in the village for many days had encountered a tough opponent.

God knows how this woman, who obviously had no armor at all, managed to block the long sword’s blow! And she just casually swung her hand, and the attacking bounty hunter was just like the feathered beast that Lin Lei had just shot to death with the monarch butterfly—it was originally in the sky, and then fell to the ground and died.

"That woman... looks so familiar to me." Policeman Grani scratched his hair and said in distress, while the village head girl beside him immediately shook her arm:

"You know her?"

"Look at the logo on her clothes...she should be my colleague." The mounted police officer smiled a little embarrassedly, "But I should be the only one who has the commission here. If Sister Yunxing hadn't been injured in the last operation, I wouldn't have this opportunity."

"Maybe she came here for another commission?" The village leader named Koroer suggested, "But she is really amazing. Those bounty hunters have all run away, but the ground and the wall on the side seem to need repairs!"

The village was already in financial difficulty, and as the village chief, she was even more embarrassed than her pockets: "What should I do?"

"Maybe, if we find the treasure, we'll have a solution. The treasures of those knights must be very valuable." Grani winked at the girl, "So we must get the treasure before those bounty hunters!"

"Yes, that's right. But let's get out now, otherwise it will be bad if we are caught by those bounty hunters again!"

At this time, Linley and Warfarin had already driven to the edge of the village. The white-haired deep-sea hunter lady was looking at them curiously, as if wondering why the people from Rhodes Island were here:

"You guys are not here to take me back?"

006. What did you do back then?

"Ah... How long ago was it that we drank tea together like this?" Tallulah held the hot teacup in both hands, while Froststar looked at her with a faint smile: "At that time, Alina was still here too."

"Yes, Alina is still here too. It would be nice if she were here now." Draco did not show too much sorrow. She just sighed in a low voice, but soon she regained her previous calmness: "But you came to see me so early, you must not be here to reminisce about the past with me, right?"

"The past was more of a time of suffering than of beauty for us." The white rabbit concluded softly, "I came here just to confirm one thing." The girl's silver-gray eyes sparkled with the brilliance of her ideals:

"Are you still willing to fight for your past ideals? Is that fire still burning in your heart?"

Talulah just smiled when she heard that. "Yelena... That kind of thing has never been extinguished, but I need time to think about where I went wrong and whether the current integration movement still needs someone like me."

"You should agree with me on some things: the anger of the infected is definitely not that easy to extinguish, right?"

"That's good. I look forward to the moment when you give me an answer again." Shuangxing nodded with satisfaction, and then she took out a box of baked cakes from her coat pocket like a magic trick: "I brought this from the cafeteria. Let's try it together."

“Why don’t you share this with that fellow Linley? He hasn’t been here for the past two days.” Tallulah said with a strange look on her face, while Froststar glared at her unhappily.

“He’s on a business trip. It seems that something happened to the operators over at Casimir. But… why are you so concerned about Linley?”

Tallulah smiled immediately after hearing this: "No matter who the girl is, she will always have a soft spot for the knight who pulled her out of hell. Isn't this normal?"

"But he's not a knight now." Shuangxing interrupted immediately, "And there are many people who have unclear relationships with him. Don't you mind?"

"It sounds like one more or one less won't make much difference." Tallulah was still smiling. Although Draco's unique desire for exclusivity kept roaring in her heart, her reason reminded her all the time - you have to advance to the group stage first to be eligible to win the knockout stage.

"Besides, just because he's not a knight now doesn't mean he wasn't one before. Although I didn't have control of my body at that time, I heard everything he said." Then, she touched the white rabbit's arm: "You didn't ask him, did you?"

"He will say it when he wants to. What if I touch his wound..." Frost Star muttered.

......

"A-choo, why do I feel like I've become the topic of conversation for some people?"

Linley rubbed his nose and looked at the alert Skadi in front of him: “Why do you think we are here to take you back by force, Miss Skadi?”

Then Miss Killer Whale immediately pointed at Warfarin who was sipping the plasma bag and said, "Why else would you bring her here?"

“Is there any problem with bringing her here?” Linley turned his head and looked at Warfarin, while Blood Demon looked up at the extremely clear sky with a guilty look on his face: “Ah, I didn’t expect the sky in Casimir to be so beautiful.”

"She and a group of medical operators wanted to add sleeping pills to my food and then dissect me!" The killer whale girl said confidently, "I think you brought her here just to threaten me!" Then she raised the terrifyingly heavy sword and threatened:

"I won't go back until I find that little girl." Skadi swung the big sword like an electric fan, "If you want to stop me, I won't be polite. Now... get out of the way."

Linley did not hesitate and immediately moved aside to make way for him. “Please go ahead, but we will also be involved in your next move. This is Kal’tsit’s order, so please forgive me.”

After hearing Kal'tsit's name, the bounty hunter paused: "Tsk, how did that guy know that? But never mind... just don't get in my way." Then Skadi disappeared from their sight.

Linley and Warfarin looked at each other in surprise: “Do we have such unique operators on Rhodes Island?” To be honest, except for a few extremely special races, this was the first time Linley had seen someone wield such a heavy sword like a light weapon.

"How could it be that? Doesn't the thing in front of you have any personality?" Warfarin raised her eyebrows and took another sip of tomato juice as she spoke - what, you don't really think that the blood in the plasma bag is blood, and besides, there is no such bright-colored plasma.

"Indeed, you have quite a personality. But tell me, what did you do then?" the man asked as he picked up the monarch butterfly and looked towards the village - he could already hear a chaotic fight and shouting getting closer.

"Isn't this just curiosity? Whether it's the endocrine system, the skin system, the skeletal system, the muscular system, the nervous system, or even the almost zero Originium suitability... How can a medical operator not be excited about these things?" Warfarin immediately uttered a series of medical terms: "And the most important thing is that Kal'tsit refused to show me the information related to Skadi!"

When the Blood Demon thought that not only was his proposal dismissed by Old Lynx, but that he would also lose his salary and bonus for that month, he felt very angry, "Damn it! If I had known earlier, I should have done it secretly by myself!"

"So you never looked for her again?"

"Of course, after all, Kal'tsit picked you up back then." Warfarin shrugged, and her blood-jewel-like eyes narrowed: "It seems that this Dishui Village is quite unstable."

"If we can lure Skadi here, it would be a miracle if we can stay safe."

I saw a sturdy man wearing heavy protective clothing leading two Kuranta girls to fight and retreat, and behind them were a large number of Originium worms and several bounty hunters with fierce faces.

It was obvious who to help at this time, not to mention that the little man holding the lance had the Rhodes Island logo on him! "It looks like that little man is the one Lin Guang is looking for!"

"Hey, run!" Grani naturally spotted the two people standing at the entrance of the village: "Those monsters and those bastards are catching up!"

007.We are just passing by!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! "

Linley’s archery speed was extremely fast, and every arrow he shot accurately hit the Originium Worms behind the three people. In less than half a minute, all the Originium Worms had an arrow nailed on their backs.

Then he looked at the bounty hunter who was hesitating whether to move closer: "If you come any closer, I can't guarantee where these arrows will go~"

The man's frivolous and confident words immediately stopped the bounty hunters in their tracks. Their thin armor was not much more defensive than cardboard. If they really tried to get through, they would most likely be shot one by one.

"Let's go, these guys will leave sooner or later, it won't be too late to come find that girl then!" One of the bounty hunters, whose equipment was obviously better than the other bounty hunters, gritted his teeth and left with his men. After seeing the bounty hunters leave, the girl in the skirt breathed a sigh of relief.

But Grani didn't. She still held the lance tightly and whispered to the girl beside her: "Ko Luoer, it's not time to relax yet. Besides, I haven't confirmed the identities of those two and this uncle."

The probability of a bounty hunter disguised as a Rhodes Island operator is low, but it is not impossible, so Ragoni still held the lance tightly and looked at the people beside him: "I remember that I was the only one who received the commission from Rhodes Island. What is the reason for the two of you to come here?"

“We are here to find another Rhodes Island operator who has already arrived, but I think you have already met her.” Linley sighed, and he put his bow on his back and fumbled in his arms. “Also, I was asked to deliver a letter.”

"Eh? Are you here to see Miss Skadi?"

“Yes, but she doesn’t seem to want to join us. Also, could you please tell me why you are here, my fully-armed friend?” Linley stuffed Lin Guang’s letter into Grani’s hands without further ado, while Warfarin took a look at Carol’s legs.

Infected? I remember that Casimir's policy towards infected people was only slightly better than Ursus's, and even worse than Longmen's. However, this girl looked OK. Warfarin nodded secretly, and the concept of OK was probably "very energetic!"

"If you want to introduce yourself, you might as well change your location. This place is not safe." The sturdy man said calmly, and he loosened the handle of the chainsaw in his hand: "At least so far, I have no hostility at all."

"Then come with me, I know a place suitable for conversation." Carol on the side interrupted.

....A small forest ten kilometers away from Dishui Village....

The three forces took positions in three directions, and Linley held up Warfarin’s butt so that he could lie on his back more comfortably—after all, before they had even taken a few steps, this blood demon had an expression that said, “I can’t walk anymore, I hope the world will be destroyed.”

"As you can see, I am Rhodes Island's logistics operator, Dredger, and the one on my body is the medical operator, Warfarin." The man looked at the remaining two people with a faint smile, while Warfarin took off his mask and showed his usual smile:

"Hi~"

"Blood...blood demon!" Carol, who was standing next to Grani, screamed, and then she quickly hid behind the mounted police, while Grani patted the village chief's back in a soothing manner:

"I never thought that I would see two legends of Rhodes Island in one day. This is the first time I've seen them in person! But don't be afraid, Luo'er. Doctor Warfarin is different from other blood demons."

“That’s right, I can tell the difference between food and patients.” The Blood Demon waved his hand lazily, then reached into Linley’s pocket and fumbled for something. “Why don’t you have some snacks with you? What if I get hungry?”

At the end, the fully armed man put all the explosives, saws, and some strange ammunition on the ground and said, "Bounty Hunter Big Bob, as for the target, you should know that the bounty hunters come here for the treasure."

“Rather than robbing, why not just cooperate?” Linley smiled. “That’s a good idea indeed. Brother, I admire you.”

“Humph, it’s just that this way of doing things is more efficient in my opinion.” Big Bob snorted coldly. Although his vision was blocked, Lin Lei could feel that the sturdy man’s eyes were always wandering over him and Warfarin.

I don’t know whether he was afraid or thinking about how to deal with these two uninvited guests.

"So, Uncle Bob, what can you offer us?" Grani asked loudly, stepping forward.

"A field guide, hunter experience, code recognition, trap dismantling, and an extra combat capability." Big Bob's voice was quite steady and full of confidence. "Except for the last one, I think each one is extremely important to you."

“Well, interrupt me for a moment. Don’t think of us as a fighting force.” Linley waved his hand. “Warfarin and I are just here to deliver a letter and look for someone. You don’t have to take us with you on everything. Also, I’m not interested in the treasure, so just divide it up among yourselves.”

"Huh?!" Now it was Grani's turn to be dumbfounded: "Aren't you here to help us?"

“If you give us a portion of the commission and salary for this commission, we might consider it.” Lin Lei said seriously, but then Warfarin grabbed his ear and said, “We are here to find someone. How can we go out to earn extra money before we have finished the work?”

"Don't worry, if they are all going for the treasure, then they will definitely meet Skadi." And I might be able to see how strong that deep-sea hunter is? And if I'm lucky, won't I be able to see women fighting? !

I love watching women fight the most! Lin Lei said in his heart. Big Bob, who was standing by, was delighted after hearing what the two said. It was a good thing to have two less possible threats: "Then it sounds like you have no choice."

"It seems so," Grani shrugged, "There are conditions for cooperating with you, uncle..."

"Of course, this is the focus of our discussion." Big Bob rubbed his hands and said, "Then tell me how much you plan to give me. Only with this can we continue the discussion."

......Grand Knight Casimir......

Xinteleya walked to her window sill as usual and looked at the bustling street scene downstairs. On her dressing table, there was an extra document and a photo of a person: "Get rid of him before twelve o'clock tonight."

Just as this 'God's Pegasus' was complaining about her heavy workload, the white metal arm guards that had accompanied her for three years began to make irregular buzzing sounds - as if they were expecting the arrival of their original owner.

008. The Little Mountie and Her Monster Colleague

This peculiarly shaped arm armor was not made by Bai Jin herself, nor was it a gift from her parents or boss. It was a beautiful morning like today, and at that time she had not yet joined the so-called No Helmet Alliance.
