Chapter 2: The Invisible Cage

Lindsay was stunned.

He boasted that he had seen many beautiful girls, and he saw more in the game.

But when this kind of beautiful girl looks at him in reality with a gaze that goes straight to the heart, Lindsay is still inevitably shaken.

"I, yes, it's dinner for you."

"Tomorrow is [Harvest Day], today is the eve of the celebration, and the village has prepared food for you."

Lindsay's shock is true, but the mentality has the foundation that has been brought by a lifetime of people, and it adjusts quickly.

He immediately regained his composure:

"And, hello."

Lindsay walked into the mill and handed the food to the other party.

At the same time, he was also looking at this girl with amazing beauty.

The other sat on a sack in the mill, wearing a pair of bright silver armor, but not the sword it should have. When Lindsay walked in, the girl held her face with one hand and watched his movements with a smile on her face.

Something doesn't feel right?

"Thank you."

While Lindsay was still thinking, the girl thanked her, but she didn't get up from the ground.

She took the food briskly, sat down on the sack and began to eat.

The knights of the law who came to the village today......

Guests in the village......

Lindsay thought of these two messages, and a bold idea popped up.

"You...... Is that the Knight of the Law? โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€

"Poofโ€”"

The air in the mill was silent for a second, then broken by the laughter of the maiden.

"Hahaha!"

Lindsay's words seemed to ask something terrible.

The blonde girl laughed heartily, and then the violent movement made her laugh out of breath, choking on what she had just eaten.

"Ahem! Ahem, ahem! โ€

Seeing this scene, Lindsay also knew that she had made a mistake.

He hurriedly went up to help the girl pat her back, only to touch the metal armor with a crisp slapping sound.

"I just guessed your identity wrong, is that funny question?"

"No, I'm sorry." The blonde girl stood up from the ground, shook her head at Lindsay and smiled, "It's just that the word Knight of the Law is really a little sudden. โ€

Lindsey continued unwillingly:

"You're not a knight of the law, you should have come with him, right?"

This time, the girl did not refute, but admitted Lindsay's conjecture:

"Well, there's nothing wrong with you saying that."

"But, kid, you shouldn't be just curious about my identity when you ask this, right?"

The girl's question goes straight to the root.

And when she said the latter question, her eyes became extremely aggressive.

Lindsay didn't know if it was an illusion, but the curiosity and desire to explore herself in the other party's eyes seemed to turn into some kind of physical air, filling the space in the mill.

Lindsay thought about it seriously, but still didn't lie, and replied honestly:

"I want to know how to become an Awakened."

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€

"I'll just say that guy Bagett, how can you let a defenseless awakened person get close to me, it turns out that you are a child who has awakened on his own."

Trouble!

With just one answer, Lindsay sensed the crisis.

But just as he was thinking about how he was going to get out.

"Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you."

The blonde girl didn't threaten to take control of Lindsay.

Instead, she sat generously on the ground, and even patted the ground with her hand, motioning for Lindsay to come and sit down together.

She then candidly explains:

"To put it simply, I am the prisoner of the Knight of the Law in your mouth, and I am now being secretly escorted and bound here by him."

Lindsay's vision swept around.

The mill was empty, and there were no chains or other restraints on the girl's body, what kind of prisoner was this?

"Bondage? Prisoner? โ€

The blonde girl saw Lindsay's doubts, and she spoke directly with the facts, reaching out to the side of the wall.

Crackling!

In an instant, a golden light erupted on the walls of the mill, and the girl's fingers were flicked back by the light.

Lindsay was stunned by this magical scene:

"This ...... What is it? โ€

The girl unabashedly explained:

"The law of the knight of the law, that is, what binds me."

Lindsay couldn't help but ask:

"Don't you have any other way to escape?"

"Yes." The girl glanced at Lindsay, her eyes a little teasing, "If I push you, a little awakened person, to the ground and drain the essentia from you, then there will be no problem in escaping." โ€

Lindsay then remembered the conversation between the two just now.

He suddenly realized:

"Wait, what did you mean when you said I was the Awakened?"

The blonde girl replied:

"It's literal, you've awakened."

"Huh?!" How could Lindsay possibly accept the statement, "What a joke, I'm the Awakened, how is this possible?" โ€

But the girl asked conclusively:

"Come to think of it, today is the day to feel essentia and awaken yourself. You must have noticed something special about it yet. โ€

"I can't be wrong about that!"

Lindsay wanted to retort, but the next second she was speechless.

Because just today, he awakened the memories of his past life.

No matter how many wonderful experiences there are in the world, this is definitely a miracle on the list.

"Look, you get it."

Lindsay's silence made the girl very happy.

But instead of laughing at Lindsay's sluggishness, she immediately advised:

"But, child, I have to warn you too. Self-awareness is a very precious talent that must be grasped well. โ€

Lindsay noticed the point in the girl's words:

"Self-awakening?"

The girl went on to explain without reservation:

"Once every ten years, the essentia of the world becomes active, and the gifted can awaken at this moment. Slightly worse, you can feel the essentia with the help of the strong, and you can also awaken. โ€

When talking about the second half, the girl pointed to herself:

"A long time ago, I was the kind of person who was a little less talented and could only rely on others to help awaken."

The girl has made her words clear, and Lindsay's problem has changed because of this:

"Since I've awakened, why don't I have any special abilities? Whether it is Master Bai Lin or the village chief in the village, they can obviously do a lot of magical things. โ€

Lindsay's question amused the girl again.

She laughed and pounded the mottled walls of the mill, but the next second she was stopped by the golden light.

"Tsk!"

The girl stared viciously at the golden lines on the wall.

Then turn your head and continue to explain:

"Communication with essentia only means that you have the energy to perform your skills."

"Those wonderful abilities of each faction still need everyone to hone and cultivate their own skills before they can manifest their true effects."

Empty mana, or energy bar, but haven't learned any skills.

Lindsey immediately understood her current situation from the perspective of a gamer.

New questions arise:

"So where do I go to learn the craft?"

The girl gave a reassuring answer:

"Once you become an Awakened, you have a lifetime to explore your own craft. Or you can join a school with the talent of self-awakening. Trust me, it's very popular. All in all, it's not a problem......"

At this point, the girl suddenly raised her eyebrows.

She looked at the center of the village, and the conversation changed:

"Kid, it's time for you to go back."

"The Law of the Law that imprisoned me has been triggered a few times, and Baggett will definitely come and check it out. His dead eyes are distorted by the law to the point of almost dehumanization, and you will be unlucky if you are seen. โ€

The Knight of the Law is indeed not to be provoked.

Lindsay knew it was time for her to go.

But before saying goodbye to the teenage prisoner, he still had two questions:

"Didn't you just say you could control me and extract my essentia? Why not? โ€

The girl replied in a frank tone:

"If I take the essentia from you here, then run away. Then the Law Knight will think that you are helping the fugitives, and at the same time make the village a camp for the rebels, and start purging the rebels. โ€

"Even if I want to escape, I can't do it at the cost of other people's safety!"

Lindsey asks the second question:

"What crime have you committed?"

Faced with a child, the prisoner did not deceive and abduct, and even made quite kind suggestions.

Judging by the whole process of communication.

Lindsay really didn't think it was a heinous criminal.

"What crime I have committed, you ask?"

For the first time since the meeting, the girl scratched her cheeks with some trouble, and then supported her head with her right arm:

"Uh...... Intent on rebellion and subversion of the dynasty? โ€

"But to be honest, I really don't think it's a crime."

At this time, the girl held her cheek with one hand, dragged the food tray in front of her with the other, picked up a piece of bread and stuffed it into her mouth.

It is precisely because of this movement of opening both arms.

Lindsay saw the coat of arms on the girl's chest, a motif of a sword, a thorn, and a codex.

- Thorn Sword.

The ruler of the capital of France in the "Young King Xingzheng Ji", the coat of arms of the king of the righteous one.

The coat of arms of the ruler of this world, appearing on a prisoner?

And the person in charge of the escort.

It's the Knights of the Law who are supposed to work for this!

Lindsey didn't want to dwell on this obviously death-seeking issue.

Bidding farewell to the girl in the mill, he immediately walked to the village, his heart in a mess.

"The Awakened, the Knights of the Law, the Rebel ......"

As Lindsey muttered back to the middle of the village.

I was amazed to see the huge elk that was tied up with wheat straw and was also a symbol of the harvest, and at this moment it had fallen to the ground.

A knight was stepping on the head of an elk, and his expression was not angry!
