Chapter 249: Thoughtful Words

"I'm sorry, Sect Master." Hidden in the future, he apologized frankly in the face of Eddie's doubts as he looked up at him.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet? Not dead? Add asked him.

"Can't sleep...... Death explained. You know, Sect Master, unlike those big guys, the shadowless people don't need much time to sleep. ”

He put away the ring, and there was no trace of it, and its presence immediately vanished from Add's perception. But then he adjusted the polarizing knob slightly, so that Add could see his eyes, those blood-red eyes.

"Your stealth is the best rest, I know that." Add nodded, closing the holographic interface in front of him with his finger.

The Dead has almost never communicated with him since he was on the "Set Sail", in fact, the shadowless man has a withdrawn personality, does not talk much to all the crew, is always invisible, and seems to be hiding from something, as he took the initiative to speak to him today, this is the first time.

"It's a helpless survival habit, isn't it?" The surviving eye blinked, perhaps it was some strange movement that Eddie couldn't tell.

"Far from the light, away from the light, respite in the shadows, survive in the ravines, speaking of which, my ancestors' lives were not a tasteful one, everything was just to survive, nothing else."

"yes." Add sighed, knowing exactly what it meant to be alive. "You have a great nation beyond imagination, and you are not dead."

"Is it greater than the Khand?" The eyes of the surviving are crooked, as if smiling.

"In a way, yes." Add nodded without hesitation.

"The wise men of mankind once said that a great civilization is born in the beginning of suffering, in the process of overcoming and in constant introspection. I don't think anyone in the Freyr system knows more about suffering than the Shadowless. ”

Add remembered his father's history, when the Shadowless were first discovered on the planet of annihilation, all the Kanders were moved by their desperate thousand-year-old survival consciousness, and the movement to save the Shadowless from the sea of suffering had been going on for years in Vista.

It wasn't until the technology of controllable polarization was quickly developed by Kander scientists and carried forward by the brilliant Shadowless that the movement came to an end.

The friendship between the Shadowless and the Khandians was sustained for a hundred years by gratuitous help, until the sudden outbreak of the Shadowless War of Betrayal.

"Constant introspection? I think my people probably lack that kind of philosophy. The voice of the dead seemed to be a little helpless. But thank you to the sect master for his unreserved recognition of our clan, and to be honest, since that shameful war, the relationship between my clan and the nobles has ...... has been in this embarrassing situation. ”

"By the way, you mentioned that." Little Khand's pink tentacles rose slightly above his head, and the surviving who had been trained as a traveling retinue on his home planet knew that he was expressing curiosity.

"For a long time since the end of the terrible war between our two clans, the Khandians have lost their shadowless figures in the Travelling Squad, and it seems that it is only in recent years that the political leaders of the nobility have approved the resumption of their status as traveling companions. I don't know why, so I would like to ask you for some advice. Eddie seems to have been puzzled by this for a long time, and in his vast theoretical knowledge, it is clearly a puzzle with an unanswered answer.

"I ...... Advice? The survivor laughed awkwardly. I'm just a warrior, not a scholar, sect master. He said. But the thirty years of the presence of the Barrecas and the perennial military control may be one of the reasons, I can't say well. ”

"Yes, yes, I read that." There was some warmth in Eddie's voice. "They had an army of tens of thousands in Tanatos, and seemed to be very much loved by the noble populace......"

"Wait, the suzerain...... "Interrupt Add." Love and esteem? Which book did you read it from? Because they wear mirrored armor that refracts light all year round, our civilians jokingly call them "Reflective Beasts". After he finished speaking, he laughed out loud, and said: "The long-mouthed barbarians are rampant and have committed many crimes, and it is precisely because they have been oppressed so hard that our clan broke the terms of demilitarization and established the "Dead Army", and its main purpose is not to curb their many rude behaviors? ”

"......I see," Eddie sighed in his heart, it seems that even a Kander scholar has been contaminated with the temper of the Silver Alliance human beings who report good news but not bad news.

"Speaking of which, the Shadowless and the Barekas are really like natural enemies, they call us killers hiding in the shadows, and we describe them as reckless men with empty heads, which may be incompatible with the ideology of the two races."

The survivor opened the conversation today, as if he couldn't hold it for a while. "For example, Arthur, this kid, he will oppose anything I say, I can't get used to anything he says, this is called a feud, a feud that cannot be resolved!"

"Don't say that." Add looked at the door in the hall leading to the living area, as if he was afraid that the werewolf would suddenly break in, and although he had been concerned about the obvious friction between the surviving and Arthur, he didn't know how to persuade him. "You know Arthur, he's just a ...... who cares a lot about team safety."

"I know that all long-mouthed brutes are missing a string, and their incessant whining is really tiresome to hear......" Seeing Eddie's anxious expression, the survivor suddenly stopped and laughed. You see, after staying for a long time, I feel like I've been infected by him. ”

With the smile of Little Khand, the Shadowless Man fell silent again, his blood-red eyes fixed on a spot in front of him.

"Can you ask me about Legion of the Dead?" Add continued to keep his curiosity going. "I've heard Arthur say that the most powerful Army of the Dead troops of the Shadowless people today is undoubtedly the Dead Squad, and it is said that all of them are characters who have been specially selected to stand out."

"I know what you want to ask, Sect Master." He slowly closed his eyes and opened them again. "I was one of them." He admitted. "Possessing the Spirit Ring is a supreme honor for my warriors, and it is extremely difficult for the Undead to be selected, and the long mouth is not wrong about this."

"But the 'Undead' is not the strongest force in Tanatos." He said suddenly.
