Chapter 4: Sailing
"Hey, you're finally awake."
Lindsay regains consciousness.
He felt like he was swaying underneath him, as if he were sitting in a carriage.
But when he came to his senses, he realized that he had not been in some snow-covered forest.
Lindsay was lying in a small boat at the moment.
An old man dressed in gray cloth sat beside him, holding a yew staff in his arms.
And just noticed his awakening and said hello.
It was a knight sitting in the bow of the ship.
The power of this small boat also comes from the oars that are rocking in the hands of the other party.
- It's not easy.
A thought crossed Lindsay's mind.
Theoretically, the person controlling the oars would sit in the middle of the boat, or near the stern.
This allows for effective control of the vessel while maintaining stability.
Sitting in the bow of a ship can be challenging.
Lindsay blinked, he was stunned for two seconds, and then nodded to the knight in front of him:
"Wake up."
"Also, thank you for the rescue."
The people on the boat are from the forest garden.
The Platinum Palace, which fled from Montenegro, kept its promises.
He informed his companions from the other world of the news, and the rescue team set off immediately.
Their original goal.
Perhaps it was to rescue the perceiver whose body had been possessed by the drake.
But in the end, Lindsay was saved.
Before the two sides met, Lindsay was still reluctant to explore from the surroundings, trying to find the traces of Red.
The result was discovered by a few resuscitators.
Seriously wounded, he was in extremely poor condition, so he decisively gave up the fight and tried to escape with two snow wolves.
In a critical situation.
The Awoken, who landed in the ruins of Black Mountain, found the fleeing Lindsay and rescued him from the Resuscitators.
Physically and mentally exhausted, Lindsay fell into a coma.
Until now, I woke up slowly from the ship, and I didn't even know the time at this moment:
"Can you tell me how long I've been asleep?"
The knight in the bow of the ship gave a reassuring smile:
"It's just half a day."
After making the answer, the knight noticed Lindsay's movement as he looked at the water around him.
Without waiting for the other party to ask, he took the initiative to explain:
"The number of living corpses has exceeded our original estimates, and most of them have fled to the Black Mountain world, which may be difficult for a few of us to deal with."
"So whether it's cleaning up the ruins of that city, or the subsequent removal of living corpses, you have to go back and gather people."
It's time to head to Morinaka Garden.
Lindsay understood the current situation, but also had some doubts:
"The Platinum Palace also knows the situation here. Didn't he tell you the exact news when he went back? ”
"The news is not wrong." The knight shook his head with a wry smile, "But we think his description is a little too bizarre, so we're going to check it first." ”
"As far as the facts are concerned, the Platinum Palace is right......"
As we spoke, Lindsay sat up from the boat.
The knight originally wanted to lament the great changes in the Black Mountain.
But he sensed quite acutely, sensing Lindsay's weakness as she sat up:
"By the way, your name is Lindsay?"
Lindsey nodded in acknowledgement:
"That's right."
The Cavaliers are very concerned about Lindsay's form:
"Lindsay, if you're really tired, you can continue to rest."
Lindsey shook her head:
"I don't have any questions right now, just ask if there's anything you want to ask."
"Then you're welcome." Confirming that Lindsay could answer, the knight continued to ask, "First of all, what I want to understand is naturally the reason why Montenegro has become like this. ”
The knight looked behind him.
Even though it's been here for half a day, the collapse of a mountain peak is still unbelievable.
"The dragon beast fights a seven-stage enemy."
Sitting in the middle of the boat, Lindsay began to describe the experience in detail:
"They fought to the death, and the end result was just like what you can see, the whole mountain was in ruins, and the dragon beast died here."
The knight asked:
"Can you tell us more about the condition of the people who are fighting with the dragon beasts?"
"Platinum Palace should have told you what happened to us." Lindsey reminded, "It's the guy who sniped us underground." ”
"He can escape into the shadows, teleport his position, and emit a terrifying mist that pulls people into the dark world."
Listen to Lindsay's description.
The knight frowned, obviously aware of the trickiness of the abyss, and even more puzzled by the other party's profession.
Among the enemies he had seen, there seemed to be no such existence.
Just after listening to Lindsay's explanation, without waiting for the knight to continue to ask, the old man next to him, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke:
"It's the Awakened of the Darkest Side."
"The living corpse of the Black Mountain World is probably also transformed by him."
As soon as the old man spoke, the knight's attitude was respectful:
"Lord Cosevellet, I don't seem to have heard of it, called the Darkest Awoken Path?"
The old man explained in a flat tone:
"Darkness is one of the three major schools of the Chaos Abyss."
"They once threatened the entire universe, so they were completely annihilated, and eventually gradually forgotten in history."
“……”
The knight's expression was a little dazed.
"Guys, there's a waterfall ahead!"
Just then, on another boat, a young man called out to them:
"Lord Cosevillette, please prepare a spell!"
Boom Boom –
At the call of the young man, the sound of rushing water came from afar.
Lindsey turned her head to look.
The roaring river came to an abrupt halt and poured downward.
- This is a large waterfall.
Lindsay remembered a passage from the expedition's records.
Swimming up the waterfall, we broke through the forest garden and entered a new world. In front of you is a snow-capped mountain, a waterfall that connects the two worlds, and a river formed by the melting of its snow. ’
A waterfall is something that connects two worlds!
To come to the Black Mountain world from the opposite side, you have to swim against the current, and from here you go back to the past, naturally......
"We're going down the waterfall?"
Boom Boom –
The sound of the water was getting louder and louder, and the galloping waves pushed the boat forward quickly.
In the blink of an eye.
The down-plunging waterfall is just a stone's throw away.
But when the boat crossed the border, it did not fall straight down with gravity.
Instead, drive down the vertical water surface smoothly!
It's like ignoring inertia and gravity and moving directly on a vertical plane!
Lindsay jerked her head.
Although he was seriously injured, his ability to sense essentia had not disappeared.
At this moment, Lindsay noticed a subtle essentia fluctuation beside the old man beside him.
What is this ability?
Gripping gravity?
"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet."
The knight in the bow of the ship noticed Lindsay's movements.
He laughed and enthusiastically took the initiative to introduce Lindsay:
"Lord Cosevillette, a great wizard of the seventh stage, is also the guardian of the border."
Then the knight pointed to himself:
"I'm a knight of the law."
"Just call me Han Sike."
