Man in the Ark: Revitalizing Kazdel

"Ah..., why haven't I encountered any inhabited towns yet?" Roy came out of the laboratory and entered the land of Kazdel. It has been a week, and Roy has not encountered any inhabited towns yet.

We did come across quite a few towns that had been destroyed by war. The ruins were covered with weeds and vines, and it looked like no one had lived there for a long time.

During the time Roy was walking in the wilderness, he had studied various ways to eat the Transparent Stoneworm, and his mouth was almost dry. Roy had always wanted to find a town to rest and get to know the situation of this country.

"Hey, there seem to be two people ahead, let's hurry up and ask for directions." Roy quickened his pace to catch up with the two people in front. Just as Roy approached the two people, one of the black-robed men also noticed Roy and drew his staff to warn him.

In Kazdel, most people walking alone in the wilderness are mercenaries or bandits who are robbing people on the road. In either case, it is a situation that requires vigilance.

"Ladies, please don't be nervous. I mean no harm." Roy saw the lady raising her staff and looking at him warily, so he quickly raised his hands.

"I just want to ask for directions. Do you know where the nearest town is?" Roy asked sincerely.

The Sarkaz woman holding the sword-shaped staff saw that Roy had no weapons and did not even bring the most basic supplies for crossing the desert. He was only wearing simple clothes, as if he had been robbed.

She asked in confusion, "Has this gentleman been robbed by the bandits around here? Is there anything you can help with?"

"Oh, yes. My companions and I got separated during the attack. Now I can only go to the nearest town and then find a way to contact them." Roy made up a lie to ask for directions.

"I see. We are also heading to the nearest town. Sir, if you don't mind, you can come with us." The Sarkaz woman with a sword invited Roy.

"Thank you so much. My name is Roy, please give me your guidance." Roy was a little surprised that these two people actually invited a stranger like him to go with them. They were really kind people.

This is a good opportunity to learn about Kazdel's situation from the locals.

"Hello, I'm Shining." Hearing the other person's name was Shining, Roy suddenly felt that it was such a coincidence.

My first six-star operator in the game is Shining, so the one next to her is probably Nightingale. The Black and White Demon saved me many times in the early stages of the game.

Roy looked at Nightingale, who was wrapped in a black cloak beside Shining. Nightingale seemed to sense Roy's gaze and hid behind Shining uneasily.

"This kid's name is Nightingale. He just went through some bad things and hasn't adapted to it yet." Shining explained Nightingale's situation to Roy.

"It's okay, I understand." Roy also knew about Nightingale's situation. She was persecuted by her own people during the civil war. She had serious physical and mental problems.

After getting to know each other, Roy and Shining and his group started heading towards the nearest town again.

......

The sun was blazing brightly in the sky and the group had no idea how long they had been walking. The scenery in the wilderness was so desolate and so unchanging.

"Ms. Shining, how long will it take us to get to the nearest town?" Roy asked Shining beside him.

"Mr. Roy, we can't reach the town today. We need to spend a night in the wilderness." Shining answered Roy's question.

Spending the night in the wilderness, Roy's first thought was the smell of Originium worms, and his face immediately turned bitter.

"Mr. Roy, what's wrong with you?" Shining saw that Roy's face was not very good.

"Nothing, I just thought about the experience of eating Originium worms all this time."

"I see, the taste of Originium worms is indeed not very good. If you don't mind, I can share some of my dry food with Mr. Roy." Shining expressed sympathy for Roy's experience. It is unexpected that someone can keep eating Originium worms.

That strange taste is unbearable once you try it yourself.

"Thank you so much. Shining, you are such a good person."

Hearing that Shining was willing to share some dry food with him, Roy quickened his pace.

The sun slowly sank into the horizon, and Shining found a sandy area sheltered from the wind and built a simple camp.

After a day of hiking in the wilderness, Nightingale sat down on the sand to rest while Shining began to prepare dinner. "Miss Shining, is there anything I can help you with?" Roy offered to help.

"Mr. Roy must be tired after walking all day. Just sit down and take a rest." Shining rejected Roy's kindness. Crossing the desert was already a common occurrence for Shining.

Shining also slowed down to take care of Nightingale and Roy, which was nothing to her.

Seeing that Shining refused his help, Roy did not force it and found a piece of soft sand to sit down.

The nightingale sitting nearby might have felt a little stuffy after wearing the cloak all day, so she took off the cloak to get some fresh air. Roy saw the real nightingale, no longer through the phone screen.

Nightingale has a delicate face, long golden hair covering her back and beautiful horns.

It was such a beautiful girl who, because of her powerful medical skills, became a medical tool and experimental subject for her own people. Her body and soul were trapped in a cage. This land was really not picky when it came to eating people.

Just as Roy was feeling sympathy for Nightingale's experience, Nightingale was also observing Roy.

Nightingale had very few contacts with people, and Roy was the first person she met after being rescued by Shining. Thinking of how Shining had always encouraged her to interact with people around her, Nightingale mustered up the courage to approach Roy.

She hadn't learned how to interact with others yet, but she just followed Shining's teachings and reached out to Roy.

"Hello, Mr. Roy. My name is Nightingale, and I am glad to meet you." Nightingale finished the sentence incoherently, and her head was covered by her long hair, so her face could not be seen clearly. She must be very nervous now, but she bravely took the first step.

Roy did not disappoint the girl's courage, and reached out and gently held Nightingale's hand. Her hand was very cold, and she didn't know whether it was due to nervousness or physical reasons.

While holding her hand, Roy activated the spell of Originium Control, so that the Originium in Nightingale's body would be more peaceful and not hurt the poor girl.

"Nice to meet you, Nightingale." Roy responded with a smile, although Nightingale didn't see it. After saying that, Roy let go of Nightingale's hand, and his spell was completed.

Nightingale felt the changes in her body at the first moment. The pain caused by Originium disease was alleviated a lot, and her whole body felt warm as if it was soaked in warm water.

She raised her head and looked at Roy in surprise. She knew that Roy had done something to her using the Originium technique.

"Mr. Roy, how did you do it?" Nightingale knew his own physical condition. He had powerful medical spells but could not heal himself.

The effect of Shining's healing spells was minimal, but I didn't expect Roy to have such powerful healing spells.

"I just want them to behave themselves." Although Roy answered Nightingale's question, Nightingale was still confused.

"In short, while my spell lasts, you don't have to worry about the Originium disease," Roy explained in words Nightingale could understand.

"Mr. Roy is amazing!" Nightingale's voice became louder.

"Of course, haha." Hearing Nightingale, such a beautiful girl praising him, Roy instantly felt elated and didn't notice that Nightingale was leaning on him.

At this time, Shining, who was cooking, noticed the situation here, drew out the sword in his hand and slowly walked towards Roy.

"That's amazing, Roy! Do you have anything else to say?"
