The Spirit of the Mountains?

Lindsay had only heard such a term a while ago.

It was one of the enemies that had been defeated in this world, one of the gods that he knew in the mouth of the red moon.

The rock giant in front of himself.

Once an enemy that threatened the whole world?

The idea had just come to mind, and Lindsay was quick to dismiss it, citing time as a matter of time.

It can be known from the words of Suramo, the spirit of the mountains.

It was once allied with humanity, and it was tens of thousands of years old!

This period is also long enough for civilization.

Whether it is the scriptures of the School of Death or the collection of books in Finn's Hut, they are recorded from two or three thousand years ago at most.

Humanity has lost its record of the elemental realm.

Therefore, when the expedition team came to the Elemental Realm 120 years ago, it was regarded as a completely strange world, and named it the Hidden Frontier, and even temporarily identified it as the edge of the universe.

The history of the gods enslaving sentient beings and finally being countered by others.

The time is much later than the story told by Suramo.

Lindsay figured out what was going on.

Face this ancient elemental life who is willing to explain his doubts.

His first question was not to satisfy his own curiosity, but to the future of the hidden frontiers, or the human beings living in the elemental realm.

"Lord Sulamo, the dragon beasts of the Black Mountain World next door are trying to advance to the eighth stage. The effects it has caused when it advances are also seriously threatening the normal development of the elemental realm. As a restorer of this world, what do you think about this? ”

“……”

Hear Lindsay's inquiry.

The ancient elemental creatures were silent for a few seconds, as if sensing the disturbance of the drake beast on this world.

It quickly had its results, affirming Lindsay's judgment:

"A restless force that is indeed threatening the normal development of the elemental realm."

"But I have merged with the earth of this world, and I cannot get out of this state until I have completed the restoration of the world."

Suramo is also not a simple question-and-answer machine.

Although the awakening after a long slumber made it react a little slowly, it also realized why Lindsay asked the question.

So the ancient elemental creature asked rhetorically:

"You and your people are locked down in this world, facing the threat posed by this drake. Would you like to ask for help with this question? ”

In the face of this existence that can repair the world, Lindsay has no idea of playing tricks in language:

"The life-threatening enemy lives next door, and no one is allowed to leave."

"There is no one in the world who is indifferent to this situation."

Sulamo gives a regrettable answer:

"Lindsay, I can't help you."

"If that dragon beast takes the initiative to enter the elemental realm before it succeeds in advancement, I have a way to subdue it, but my strength can't leave this world."

Undeterred, Lindsay confirmed to Suramo:

"You need to keep the elemental world on track, right?"

"As I said, there's nothing I can do about it, I can only make sure that the world is repaired before I can do anything else." Suramo's voice was deep and confident, "And the dragon beast is also flesh and blood after all, he may live for thousands of years, but he can't surpass the grandeur of the world." When he dies, I will put the development of the elemental world in order. ”

Lindsey makes a bold assumption:

"What if there was an opportunity to solve this problem in advance?"

"Hahaha-"

Suramo laughed, thinking that Lindsay's proposal was whimsical:

"I can feel everything on the earth. Of all the creatures standing on the ground, none of them could defeat the seventh-stage dragon beasts. ”

"Even if you reach the fifth stage of your skills, you can't do this."

“……”

Sulamo's statement made Lindsay confused.

On his attribute panel, there is a clear level of skill clearly recorded, and it has nothing to do with the number five!

"I ...... Stage 5? ”

Lindsay's surprise was not loud, though.

But Suramo, who was almost equal to the earth, heard the astonishment clearly.

Its massive head nodded in confirmation:

"That's right, stage 5. Your physical condition is very special, and according to the way humans are classified, you should be an ascender. But the skills that should have been sublimated are not integrated with the essentia, as if you were born and automatically learned the relevant techniques, but you have not been in contact with the essentia at all. ”

"Even in my lifespan, I rarely see this in people."

Speaking of which.

Sulamo was also a little curious about Lindsay's situation.

It looked at the little human in front of it and fell into deep thought again.

And in front of this ancient elemental creature, Lindsay has also realized what the problem is.

It's actually quite clear on the properties panel.

After the level of your gamer's skill, [Game Enthusiast (Stage 2)/(Stage 5)] is displayed.

That's not to say that Lindsay's ability ceiling is in the fifth phase.

Rather, it is a game technique that he played all his life in his previous life, and even led to his eventual death. In today's world, the standard of Stage 5 has been reached!

Essentially, he is a fifth-stage ascender.

But what is lacking is the influence and transformation of essentia on the body during the long training.

That's why he's never been like the other Awokens in the town, and he's still hit a bottleneck when breaking through.

Memories of past lives brought about after awakening.

Not only does Lindsay have a special personality and perception of the world, but she also has a unique position in the Awoken system.

Lindsay felt some emotion in her heart.

If it weren't for this natural spirit of unknown strength, the truth would be revealed in one word.

He was afraid that it would not be until much later that he realized what was happening to him.

"There's a pretty special power hidden in you."

Just as Lindsay smiled bitterly in her heart, Suramo finished thinking and spoke again:

"But that doesn't seem to be a reason for you to defeat the seventh-stage dragon beast."

"Because I've got something special!"

Lindsay heard the curiosity and vacillation in Sulamo's tone, and had already taken the risk to negotiate with the other party, so he naturally couldn't miss this opportunity again, and immediately snapped out the brilliance:

"Would you like to make a deal with me if you used this as a basis?"

“……”

"What do you want?"

Suramo was undoubtedly impressed.

It can wait thousands of years before slowly changing this elemental realm, but if this time can be advanced to the present, then there is no reason to refuse at all.

At this point, Lindsay glanced at her map.

He saw that the symbol of Suramo had changed from neutral yellow to friendly green, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile:

"I'm ready to embark on a journey to defeat the drakes."

"But in exchange, I hope you will be able to protect them in the foreseeable cold winter."
