"I think for the sake of people's future, we can't stay on the hidden edge all the time."

"But the fact now is that we are powerless to solve the crisis caused by the dragon beast, after all, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great."

Lindsay spoke her mind.

He didn't feel the need to hide it, and it was a very straightforward and immediate way to tell the awakened people in the town what he thought frankly with Iriel.

Hearing Lindsay's candid response, Irel nodded in approval.

But then he said something that Lindsay had thought about before, but didn't realize the seriousness of:

"Everyone understands this."

"But Lindsay, unlike you, who have only been in town for three years, many of you have been here for thirteen years!"

"Many of them come here without intending to stay here for the rest of their lives. In other words, these people have been imprisoned here for almost thirteen years, and they are already impatient! ”

“……”

Thirteen years, which is not a short time for anyone.

Lindsay reflects on herself.

Marked by the Knights of the Law, he is on the edge of seclusion, which can be said to be the ideal situation to evade pursuit.

However, the Awakened or civilians in the town, when they first came to the hidden frontier, may only live here for a short time, and even have a problem like the Huntress Dan, who is trapped here by the sudden problem.

They all have their own lives.

Rather than preparing to bury bones in this outpost-like place.

Add to that the ever-present threat of the Montenegrin world.

For many people, life over the years is almost equivalent to the torment of prison!

Realizing this, Lindsay understands the thoughts of the people in the town and falls silent.

Iriel, across the table, continued:

"So, Lindsay, do you still want to stay in town?"

Lindsay controlled her mood and replied:

"For the time being, we must stay in the town, but that doesn't mean it's set in stone, and we must also find a solution to the crisis, or deal with the dragon beasts."

Irel asked, almost as if he were pressing:

"Where are you going to find the solution?"

Lindsay replied in a firm tone:

"In action, of course."

Hearing Lindsay's answer, Iriel's eyes narrowed, and he asked in a subtle voice that was completely different from his usual thick voice:

"What is that action? And those people to challenge a seven-stage dragon beast? ”

Lindsey replied:

"There are records left by scholars in the town, and there is also the possible help of hidden frontiers."

Needless to say, the former is naturally looking for information that may be useful from the records.

And the latter is the open-pit mine today, and the trip to Montenegro inspired Lindsay.

Hidden Frontiers is not a full-fledged large world, though.

But it also has a considerable area.

The old camp policy as an outpost and for expeditionary teams.

The level of development here is quite low, and the range of human activity is almost around the vicinity of the border towns.

Lindsey felt that if the world was carefully investigated.

You might be able to find some unexpected gains.

For example, when he climbed under the vine, didn't he find a hidden map, and then obtained a secret treasure like [Purple Leaf Vine Branch]?

After listening to Lindsay's thoughts.

Irel was not very supportive, he shook his head and denied:

"What you're saying is just a waste of time in the end. How could a seventh-stage dragon beast be so easy to deal with? ”

Lindsay's tone was unyielding:

"That's better than stubbornly resisting doing nothing, or going directly to the dragon beast to find death!"

Irel shook his head, said no more, and held up his glass of water to see him off.

Lindsey didn't say much either.

After saying goodbye to each other, he left the cabin.

Wait until he took the initiative to close the door of the craftsman's hut and walked out more than ten meters away.

In the antechamber where the two had just spoken, there was a faint sigh.

……

Just before dusk, Lindsay returned to the south of town.

His mind was still thinking about his conversation with Iriel.

According to what Lindsay knew, the old craftsman was in favor of staying in the town, and the other party's attitude towards the dragon beast also proved this.

But even so, when Lindsay made it clear that she was looking for a way.

Irel was still a direct sign of encouragement......

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Lindsay paused.

He was ready to go back to his work for the day.

But just before arriving at the cabin, he passed by the huntress's house and saw Somkin's figure walking out of it.

The other side also saw Lindsay.

A polite formulaic smile immediately appeared on the businessman's face:

"Lindsay, you're back?"

"I was going to look for you in the afternoon, but I couldn't find you in the house, so I came here to ask, and even Ju said he didn't know where you went."

It turned out to be looking for yourself.

Lindsay's eyes instantly cleared.

It's not the same as Iriel's idea of the Awoken who is ready to stay in town.

The businessman in front of him can be regarded as a very important representative figure among the radicals who broke through Montenegro.

At this moment, the other party came to find Lindsay, and there would be no other purpose.

"I went to the mines." Lindsay knew everything in her heart, but remained polite on the surface, "Mr. Somkin, what is the matter with you coming to me?" ”

Somkin said happily:

"I just talked to Ju, and he said that you also want to leave the hidden frontier and try to break through the obstacles of Montenegro."

Lindsey unceremoniously refused:

"Even if this kind of thing is to be done, it will only be done under the premise of having a certain degree of certainty."

Hearing such an answer, the smile on Somkin's face instantly retracted.

"Do you know how long this town can last if it continues like this?"

Lindsey replied naturally:

"At least six years, at most ten years, that's also the time it takes for that dragon beast to advance."

Somkin continued to ask, and his tone became aggressive:

"You think there's plenty of time?"

"Or in this longest ten years, our town can cultivate a powerhouse who can defeat the seventh-order dragon beast!"

"Or can we leave our lives to luck and bet that the outside world can send someone to kill that dragon beast and save us within ten years?"

Lindsay still sticks to her point:

"I'm in favor of action, but it's not the same thing as pure suicide."

Somkin's gaze became suppressed:

"But some people can't wait any longer! Not to mention the threat of death is just around the corner! ”

Lindsey replied in a serious tone:

"A thousand people, a thousand faces. When faced with the same problem, everyone will have different choices. ”

"A thousand people, a thousand faces? That's a good thing to say. Somkin first complimented Lindsay's statement before he continued to ask, "What do you think the people of the town should do now?" ”

Lindsey gave the exact same answer she had given to Irel before:

"It's not time to despair yet, so you can continue to look for a way."

“……”

At this point, the two fell silent at the same time.

They looked at each other, and finally Somkin was the first to speak.

The businessman's tone was as if he had made a conclusion.

"You probably think my method is too radical, and even coerce most of them to die together." The merchant lowered his eyes and shook his head, "But the truth is, even if we don't do anything, people will die too. ”

Lindsey still didn't mean to let go:

"There's an old saying in our school of death – no one can win death in a race."

"It's not yet time to make a final decision."

“……”

That's all the two have to say.

The shrewd businessman already knew that persuasion of Lindsey could not lead to anything.

After that, he didn't say anything, and the old figure turned around and walked towards the middle of town, without looking at Lindsay behind him.
