Chapter 15: The Clock Tower and the Lighthouse

Lindsay chooses to accept Red Moon's suggestion.

He also knew that it was not a good thing to keep his heart tight, so he quickly set off.

But this time when she went to town, Lindsay was not just a distraction.

On the way to town, he trotted all the way, leading behind him the small cart that the carpenter had lent him.

After running as hard as he could, Lindsay's physique experience bar rose a little more.

Agility, which is progressing well, has also broken through.

Dexterity: 3→ Dexterity: 4

The improvement of agility is more intuitive than the physique.

Lindsay's speed immediately became a little faster, and there was a change in the lightness of his body.

It put him in a good mood.

By the time we got to the town, it was already dark.

Lindsay did see children her own age.

But these kids ...... Playing peek-a-boo.

With Lindsay's inner age, he really can't be cheeky to bully children.

"Play games, that's not what I want to play."

"Even if you come to Spider Solitaire, it's better than this."

Lindsey scratched her hair.

He's already thinking about making his own deck of cards and playing little games like FreeCell.

I'm afraid that I will never have the opportunity to play the beloved video game in my previous life again in my life.

But through some simple things, you may be able to solve the pain of lovesickness.

Lindsay watched the children play happily for a while, but she had nothing.

It wasn't a taste in his heart.

So he simply dragged the cart to the carpenter's house, ready to return this thing to the other party first.

Bang Bang

Lindsay knocked on the door, and Uncle Carpenter, dressed in coarse cloth, opened the door for him.

"Little brother, it's you!"

The carpenter saw Lindsay with a somewhat surprised expression.

The person you help keeps their promises and cares about things, which is sure to be satisfying.

"How's the Red Moon Lady? Are you okay? ”

Lindsey looked back with a smile:

"She was in good spirits and guided me to repair the fence of the cemetery today."

Hearing this, the carpenter's face turned pale, and his eyes were mixed with self-reproach and remorse.

"Alas, it's all my fault!"

"That fence is broken, I should have repaired it."

"But the first few times I went to repair it, Ms. Hongyue had to pay me, but I was embarrassed to accept it. I didn't expect to shirk it a few times, and in the end it turned out to be like this! ”

After remorse, the carpenter also wanted to make amends.

It happened that the nun's godson was in front of him, so he had a plan to stay with Lindsay for dinner at his house.

"Kid, I've just cooked my meal here, let's have something to eat together."

Lindsay shook her head and refused:

"No, I've eaten at night, and I'll be home later."

"It's nice to go home, go home."

There was a hint of nostalgia in the carpenter's eyes.

The Awakened are resident in the Hidden Frontiers, but before the teleportation ability fails, more ordinary people are moving from other places.

Uncle Carpenter is one of them.

Lindsay's answer naturally reminded him of his hometown.

It's just that after the world is completely cut off, there is no way to deal with this homesickness.

At this time, Lindsay did not realize this.

Returning the cart to the carpenter, he took his leave and returned to the town, his eyes wandering around.

"Entertainment, what entertainment can I find?"

Lindsay was a little dazed.

Start wandering aimlessly around town.

The town on the outskirts is several times larger than the village of Anville.

He continued along the gravel path, passing through a small plaza and seeing a bluestone sculpture. It depicts a man in a cloak holding a trekking pole with a confident and cheerful expression.

The details of the sculpture are meticulously polished, as if telling a history that belongs to the past.

Lindsay leaned over to see the statue's name written on the base.

【Great Explorer - Poirot Weir】

"Great Explorer ......"

To be able to erect a statue in this hidden frontier, the owner of this name is probably not a simple person.

Lindsay continued to move around town.

The novelty of arriving in a strange place for the first time is still there, and he is not bored.

In this case, he gradually walked to the westernmost part of the village, and his eyes were drawn to a gray-white tower.

It was the tallest building in town, an old bell tower.

The stone façade has faded its color by the years, but it has added a unique sense of vicissitudes. Every hour, the bell on the bell tower will ring the corresponding number of times, and its melodious sound will echo throughout the town.

Lindsay was attracted to it and walked over.

Just at the bottom of the main entrance under the bell tower, two guards sat on the steps, joking with each other.

Coincidentally, this was the person who was going to take Lindsay in the morning.

At this moment, the two sides met again, and they no longer had the panic of the morning when they saw the nun, but waved to Lindsay and showed a flattering smile:

"Little brother, you're here."

"Congratulations on becoming Lady Red Moon's godson!"

Lindsey is also happy to talk to people and learn more about the situation here.

"Thank you, I'm glad to follow Mama too."

"But I'm still a little curious, everyone in the town seems to respect my godmother?"

The guard replied directly:

"Of course!"

"Because whether it is an awakened person or an ordinary person, Lady Hongyue treats the dead in every family with a serious attitude, without making any distinction, this is a respectable adult!"

Lindsay asked about the bell tower in front of him:

"Why is this bell tower built on the edge of the village?"

"Shouldn't the building that tell the time be in the middle of the town?"

Hearing Lindsay's doubts, the fatter guard smiled and pointed to the west:

"Little brother, do you know what is going on over there?"

Lindsay looked west.

The sky stretched out as far as the eye could see, and the setting of the sun stained it in an orange-red curtain.

But looking down, there are no forests or small towns.

"The end of this world?"

"That's right." The fat guard nodded, then pointed to the bell tower, "You see it's a bell tower, but that's the direction facing the town; On the side towards the end of the world, it's actually a lighthouse. ”

"Whenever night falls or the weather is bad, the topaz on it will light up and show the way for the big people who don't know when to return."

Lindsey went on to ask:

"I've heard that there are quite a few powerful awakened people who want to find the world that exists on the other side."

"Perhaps, but that was more than a hundred years ago."

Lindsey had expected the guards to be in awe of the Awoken, but in reality they had a different opinion.

After the fat guard complained, the thinner one even complained:

"Really, I don't know what's the point of staying here and making it impossible for us to go home. No matter how powerful the dragon beast is, there is only one one, and it can't look at the entire Black Mountain world. With the lord here, can't we find a way to sneak over? ”

Amid the grumblings of the guards, Lindsay's gaze cast into the distance.

It was the frontier of the Hidden Frontier, the end of the entire known universe, the westernmost Great Void of the Far Frontier.

An indescribable impulse welled up in Lindsay's heart.

That's human curiosity about the unknown.

He seemed to feel that the opposite side of this void must not be some abyss of despair, but a real world on the other side.

It was 120 years ago.

The powerful awakened who came here from all worlds have set out here and have not yet returned.

What is it here that keeps them from returning?

Terrible danger, great temptation, or something big.

Or even death?

Lindsay spent a long time here at the Lighthouse Clock Tower.

After the guards left, he did not leave, but continued to stand here looking at the sky.

The mind is completely relaxed in this tranquility.

Until night is about to fall.

Lindsay left the bell tower and ran back to the church.

By the time he was out of breath and had returned home with a section of experience gains, it was already completely dark, and a bright white moon could be seen rising in the east.

"Mama, I'm back."

Lindsey had expected the day to be filled with passion.

But in fact, there was no danger, and it was spent so fully and ordinarily.

It wasn't until Red Moon finished praying at the cemetery before the lights went out and fell asleep that she called Lindsay to her and uttered her last command of the day:

"Lindsay, tomorrow morning after I finish learning the text, you need to go to the lord's manor."

Lindsey was unaware of the afternoon chapel talks.

Hearing this, I subconsciously thought that the lord was still looking for trouble, and my heart tensed:

"This lord, is you still going to attack me? Does this mean that you will have a big conflict with him? ”

Hongyue shook her head and said the specific arrangement:

"There is no contradiction."

"It's hard to replenish new Awoken in the Hidden Frontier, so he'll teach you something useful to try to get you down the path of war. There are others to teach you later. ”

In Red Moon's mouth, it seems that this is just a competition between Lord An Rui and the other awakened people in the town.

She didn't say anything.

This opportunity was entirely earned by her for Lindsay.
