I was raised in the simulator, and I’m really not a bad woman in Ark!

"Yes, yes, I want to follow you, Master Ekaros. I am very useful and I eat very little."

After hearing what Ikaros said, the Sarkaz girl nodded without hesitation like a chick pecking at rice, and even introduced her own advantages as if she was introducing a product, as if she couldn't wait to be accepted by Ikaros.

The Sarkaz girl's choice really surprised Ekaros.

But soon, Ikaros, who had misunderstood the direction, also realized the purpose of the Sarkaz girl's actions.

In Ekaros's opinion, the Sarkaz girls made this choice at this moment purely for the sake of survival. After all, they all looked well-dressed and had private vehicles, and it was obvious at a glance that they were not short of supplies and strength. Therefore, it was normal for the Sarkaz girls to choose to depend on them when they could not survive independently.

That's why the other party wants to stay, and it can be regarded as looking for a protective umbrella.

Anyway, at least in Ekaros' opinion, this is the reason why the Sarkaz girl made this choice.

With this in mind, Ikaros originally wanted to refuse the Sarkaz girl.

After all, although she has such ability and capital, she does not intend to meddle in other people's affairs, nor does she want to do more things, and she does not want to be regarded as a good person.

But apparently someone had a collision of ideas with her.

For example, there was Luciana, who had been eavesdropping on all this, and Amorturo.

If only Arturo were there, then Ikaros' choice would undoubtedly determine the future of the Sarkaz girl.

Because Arturo will always support Ekalos.

But unfortunately, the protagonist of this journey is not Icarus and Arturo, but their mother, Luciana Giallo, a kind-hearted Sacotta who quit her job as a diplomat because she wanted to become a war correspondent.

"No, after all, we still have..."

"Okay, but little guy, you need to provide us with enough information about Kazdel's customs and people as intelligence, okay?"

So when Ikaros opened his mouth to reject the Sarkaz girl mercilessly, the light of hope of expectation and longing in the Sarkaz girl's eyes was about to go out.

Luciana, who had been silent all the time, took the initiative to look at Ikaros through the rearview mirror with an apologetic look. After silently apologizing to Ikaros in her heart, she intercepted Ikaros's rejection with an energetic tone and rekindled the light of hope in the eyes of the Sarkaz girl.

"Okay, thank you very much, my beautiful unknown sister."

As if she was afraid of being rejected the next moment, the Sarkaz girl hurriedly thanked Luciana flatteringly.

This caused Ekalos, who was standing by, to look at her helpless and complicated gaze. He glanced at Luciana's mother with resentment, but in the end he didn't say anything more.

Forget it, just treat it as an extra pendant. When the time comes, I will leave her in the Tower of Babel and treat it as the plot of Born in the Night being done in advance...

Thinking this in his heart, Ikaros looked at the Sarkaz girl and sighed silently.

She had forgotten the fact that Mama Luciana was a typical sakta.

Although he usually appears to be very cheerful and carefree, when he truly sees suffering, he can risk his own life to save the lives of unrelated people.

I can only say that this was due to Ikaros's lack of consideration, and he can only blame himself for his bad luck...

However, when Arturo saw Icarus's helpless look, she realized that her childhood sweetheart had no intention of accepting the child, so she frowned slightly and decided to be a bad guy and planned to say something.

This saved Ekaros from having to worry about whether this unknown Sarkaz girl would stay or go, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Ekaros shook his head and stopped him personally.

After all, the matter is done, and Ikaros' original attitude was not to expel the girl. He just didn't want to be seen as a good man or a big enemy in the other party's eyes.

Therefore, since Luciana's mother had already made the choice for her, Ikaros would not really bother with a Sarkaz girl whose hair had not even fully grown. Anyway, Ikaros felt that his attitude of refusing several times before had already established his authority.

I think the Sarkaz girl wouldn't dare to do anything bad.

As long as I keep a close eye on her when I treat her next time, and don't let her cause any harm to my group, everything will be fine.

As for the rest, Ikaros honestly doesn't care.

Seeing that Icarus stopped him, Arturo, who originally wanted to help her, naturally didn't say anything more.

After all, to be honest, almost everyone has sympathy for the weak, including Arturo.

So since Ikaros is not really unacceptable, then it would be fine to keep this poor Sarkaz girl.

After all, it doesn't matter if you have another mouth to feed.

It can even satisfy the spiritual needs of the Lateran people's inner moral values. Why not do it?

In short, under Luciana's interference, the Sarkaz girl successfully joined Ikaros's convoy after waking up, and moved towards the area where the Tower of Babel was located.

Chapter 137 Let’s just call it W

"So, are you really planning to temporarily adopt this unknown little Sarkaz girl?"

The afternoon sun was not dazzling in Kazdel. It even seemed a little depressing and dull due to the cloudy weather, like the calm before a storm.

However, such weather obviously did not affect the mercenaries who had long been accustomed to it.

Moreover, compared to the so-called weather, it was obviously what the group of Sakotas they escorted to the Tower of Babel decided to do that was even more unbelievable to them.

After all, the Sakota people decided to adopt an unknown little Sarkaz girl. What kind of international joke was this? Could it be that Tracys would commit suicide tomorrow and return the mobile city Kazdel City to Her Highness Theresia to end the civil war?

Are they dreaming?!

"Ahem, let me correct you. We just plan to take her in temporarily and wait until her injuries heal before doing anything else. We have no plans to adopt her right now." Seeing the disbelief of the Sarkaz mercenaries, Ikaros also felt a little embarrassed under the strange gazes of everyone. He explained after two dry coughs.

Even after saying this, the Sarkaz mercenaries took a deep breath and began to doubt whether they were dreaming.

After all, those mercenaries like them who work under His Highness and are considered the moral benchmarks among the Sarkaz mercenaries in various senses would never casually think of taking in and helping little girls of the same race. They are afraid of being backstabbed.

And this group of Sakotas took them in directly. What else could this be but a dream?

"It's unbelievable. This is rare in our mercenary circle, no... it should be said that it is rare to see in the entire Kazdel."

Karl looked at the Sarkaz girl who was sitting quietly beside Luciana and chatting with her not far away. He remained silent for a while, but finally he couldn't help but sigh after confirming this reality.

Even with the presence of a Sakota like Ekalos who exuded an inexplicable sense of friendliness, he had never imagined that the lucky Sarkaz girl would be accepted on the journey.

I thought that after being rescued by the Sakotas, the little girl would wake up and leave the city with some supplies, and that would be her final fate.

I didn't expect that I could stay. This situation is really absurd.

This is totally unheard of. I have broadened my horizons today.

And what does it mean to have no plans to adopt the other person for the time being?

Does this mean that we can consider adopting each other in the future?

Sakta adopts Sarkaz?

My Lady Theresa, this is so blasphemous and unbelievable. I must have fallen into the trap of Theresis and my loyalty and knowledge towards you have been corrupted, right?

In short, it's really outrageous.

"Alas, there is no other way, I can't just watch someone die without helping him.

And this is just a temporary act of kindness. There are still more darkness and tragedies in this world that we cannot see, and cannot be changed or saved by us. This... is ultimately just hypocrisy on the surface."

With his chin supported, Ikaros looked at the Sarkaz girl with deep eyes. When the other party noticed his gaze, the girl blinked and smiled slightly.

Seeing this, Ekalos nodded slightly, but his mood was obviously not very good.

The education in Lateran has made it impossible for the Sakota to turn a blind eye to weakness and darkness, but the knowledge of the cruel reality of Terra is repeatedly stimulating the Sakota who are seeing the dark side of Terra for the first time.

Even though Ikaros had experienced a tragic childhood and had been prepared for all of this, his mood still inevitably turned sour after he truly realized it all.

Especially after rescuing this girl, but knowing clearly that he couldn't save everyone.

My mood would inevitably become worse, and I could only forget about it by thinking about Arturo.

It can only be said that Lateran's influence on the three views of the Sakotas is really profound, making Ekalos, a guy who supposedly only cares about the people around him, occasionally consider those poor people.

All we can say is that this is the moral benchmark race of Terra.

The contradiction between his own personality and world outlook, as well as the conflicts of several behaviors in reality, made Ikaros say such words, which were indeed from the bottom of his heart.

"No, you have done enough. I have seen worse situations. If all your actions are hypocritical, then I am afraid there will be no kindness and justice in this world."

However, Karl obviously did not think so. In his opinion, Ekalos, who was willing to do this for a girl of another race whom he had never met before, was a truly good person no matter what his purpose was.

This was true even though Ikaros had no intention of taking the girl in at first, and only wanted to cure her and then stop there.

Kindness and justice are really too far away from Kazdel and Sarkaz.

It was so far away that many people had already given up hope. Therefore, from the perspective of the Sarkaz, at the moment when Ikaros was willing to lend a helping hand without any other purpose, she was a well-deserved good person, but also... a short-lived ghost.

——After all, kind people can never get far in Kazdel.

"But if kindness and justice are only this, then the so-called kindness and justice are too..."

Ekalos, who was in a bad mood, obviously disagreed with what Karin said and wanted to refute it. However, before he could express his inner thoughts, his cold hands were wrapped by a pair of warm hands. At the same time as the warmth was transmitted, Arturo's words of persuasion came.

"But if we play the music with a clear conscience, then the law will also approve our path. This is what you told me, Ekaros, isn't it?"

Arturo's voice is gentle and long, like a nun who cleanses the sins of believers in the church. Her ethereal and sincere words can most touch people's hearts.

Ikaros couldn't help but be distracted for a moment, and then she realized that she had been a little too stubborn about this matter, and she couldn't help but feel embarrassed and a little ashamed for her previous stupid stubbornness.

After all, he made a fool of himself in front of Arturo, which would never have happened before!

You must quickly maintain your image!

"Ahem, that's right. I was a little too picky... I'm sorry, Arturo, for making you worry this time."

After coughing twice to cover up his inner embarrassment, Ekalos changed his previously gloomy expression and put on a smile again. He quickly adjusted his emotions in front of Arturo as if he was changing his face.

After all, those things are only related to outsiders. Since his childhood sweetheart said so, Ekalos naturally would not dwell on the so-called values ​​of Lateran and exhaust himself.

In the final analysis, whether it is justice, kindness, darkness or cruelty.

The world is big, but nothing changes. For Icarus, the existence of Arturo, his unique friend, is above all else.

As long as this point is clear, then for Ikaros, the spiritual internal friction shared by the Laterans will naturally no longer exist.

After all, I can even abandon my values ​​for Arturo, so what can I not do for Tutu? .jpg

Therefore, it can be said that in a very short period of time, Ekalos adjusted back to his previous posture.

There was no sign of him being exhausted by the darkness he had just seen.

The curious Sarkaz and mercenaries who were watching the situation here fell into a dead silence, and several of those who had made big bets at the opening quietly withdrew their chips.

The strength of the attack was also increased for Karl, who fell silent, but in the end he still expressed his approval of the result and his advice as a person who had experienced it.

"Anyway... Ikaros, don't think too much about this matter. But try not to do such things in the future. After all, we don't know the background of that girl. If she is a spy of the enemy or a puppet of someone with ulterior motives, it will be troublesome."

This kind of thing is not uncommon and is considered common in Kazdel. However, Karl felt that the girl should not have this problem. After all, the hole in her abdomen made him frown and basically determined that she was dead.

In this situation, the girl could still work for others without considering repaying Ekalos.

Then Karin's suggestion is to expel the Sarkaz. The Sarkaz are unwilling to show sincerity and trust due to the environment, which does not mean that they are really heartless creatures like demons.

You know, the Sarkaz people have always been famous for their simplicity, both internally and externally.

"Well, I'll keep an eye on it. But when are we going to continue our journey? This city shouldn't be our destination yet, right?"

Ikaros nodded in understanding, then changed the topic and asked Karin a more important one.

Karl did not hide it and responded:

"We will set off again after resting for about half a day. According to our intelligence, a natural disaster of moderate size may break out near Kazdel, so our ship will arrive later. We may also need to make timely changes to our route based on the specific situation."

Even though we have reached the sphere of influence of the Tower of Babel, we still need to be cautious.

Especially when unstable disasters such as natural disasters are about to happen, we must not be anxious.

"Okay, I roughly understand, but... a natural disaster? Ikaros nodded when he heard this, and then cast his gaze towards the dull sky outside the door. He seemed to recall something bad, and whispered softly:

"Oh, I hope everything goes well."

She hadn't seen a natural disaster for a long time. The first natural disaster in her life took away her first family in this world and made her a wanderer from her original village.

The second natural disaster took away her former scavenging companions, and she thought they would be lifelong friends.

The third natural disaster brought her, who was like a walking corpse, to Luciana, lighting up her dull life with new colors. She met Arturo and started a new life.

Therefore, when it comes to natural disasters, Ikaros has the same fear as the locals, but also a complex sense of gratitude and confusion.

It was probably similar to Ikaros' attitude towards the law before he awakened his memories of his past life.
