Chapter 5: Up and Down

"Kill!"

Bang Bang –

A roar of murderous intent rang out.

A sturdy man with a single knife in his hand started to charge after shouting.

There are no gravel short logs blocking the road.

But without warning, he fell directly to the ground, and the color of his body turned gray in the blink of an eye.

All life force disappears from its body.

The robber a moment ago has now turned into a cold corpse.

The merchant, who was still in the danger of robbing the road just now, sat trembling on the ground, looking to the side with his eyes flickering.

This is the foothills of Mount Consonis.

And with one look, the one who kills the Awakened bandits.

It's a young girl.

The other party has an amazing beauty, and although her black and white hair is eye-catching, it is her flame-like red eyes that are more likely to impress, and at this moment the gray essentia is dissipating from them.

The merchant did not dare to appreciate this beauty at all.

Although he is only a trader.

But with the eye that walks around, I also understand what an exaggerated power it is to kill an awakened person with my eyes!

Red strode up to the merchant and dragged him up:

"Hey, tell me, where is this?"

The merchant replied tremblingly:

"This is the world where Nark Bondek is located, the home of the warriors of the universe."

"Nark Bondek?" Red eyebrows raised, she had heard this name in Lindsay's mouth, but she didn't expect to be randomly teleported to this kind of place, "Then do you know where the Black Mountain World is?" ”

"Huh? Montenegro World? The merchant's expression was blank.

"Tsk-"

Red smacked her lips and continued to ask:

"Then you tell me where Nark Bondek is and how to get there."

The merchant pointed to Mount Consonis ahead.

"After climbing this mountain, more than ten miles away, you can see the city."

Red shook her hair dissatisfied.

She didn't let go of the merchant either, and walked forward with one hand dragging the other party.

The merchant was caught in the hands of the girl, and he was stunned for a long time before he began to wail:

"Miss, I'm just a little trader! There was a shipment that had to be delivered to the border before April, but you still let me go...... Yes! ”

The merchant's words of begging for mercy were not finished.

Red jumped high with an arrow step, jumping straight to the surface of the cliff near the two of them, and climbed up with inhuman agility.

Red's course of action has always been straightforward and efficient.

So instead of walking on the winding mountain paths in the mountains, she went straight and crossed the mountains in the most direct way!

At the same time, she asked the merchant in her hand:

"Oh, then I'll let go now?"

The merchant looked at the abyss below and swallowed:

"Uh...... Please wait. ”

“……”

While Red goes to the warrior's hometown, Lindsay's condition takes a turn for the worse.

Of course, this is the 'down' in the physical sense.

He sat in a small boat, swooping down the waterfall, the fierce current passing him, and in the blink of an eye he entered the dark void at the junction of the worlds.

This kind of downhill is definitely several times faster than climbing on the vine.

It doesn't take more than a few hours.

After a few moments, they stepped across the dark void and saw a new world below.

- Forest Garden.

Sitting in a boat speeding down the waterfall, Lindsay looked into the distance.

At the base of the waterfall is a pondy lake.

The two rivers stretch out, flowing from the east and south in the distance, and finally disappear in the dense shade forest.

Some of the trees in the forest are leafy, and the trunks are intertwined, like ancient guardians.

The plants along the rivers and lakes are delicate and colorful, attracting butterflies and bees, and occasionally a leaf falling lightly, welcoming every visitor with a gentle dance.

"This is the ...... of Morinaka Garden"

Lindsay whispered.

Although the water vapor of the waterfall obscures the smell of the forest.

But he can also imagine the scent of earth and flowers in this world.

Recalling the experience of crossing the world, Lindsay couldn't help but sigh:

"The hidden border is under the influence of Montenegro, and the location of the border is completely covered by heavy snow."

When the knight of the law in front of the boat heard this, he proudly explained:

"Originally, this place would have been affected by the advancement of dragon beasts."

"But with Lord Cosevillette in charge, that's why we can keep it as it was."

It's this wizard.

Lindsay looked at the gray-robed old man beside her.

The other party didn't care, just nodded at him lightly, silent and silent.

Or rather, from meeting until now.

The seventh-stage wizard has shown no strength other than to help the boat slide down the waterfall.

Even if Lindsay turned on the detection ability, he could only feel the faint essentia existence from the other party, which was completely different from the dragon beast or the abyss.

If you meet inadvertently.

Without knowing the details, Lindsay may think that this is an ordinary old man.

However, what Lindsay is most worried about now is the Law Knight Han Sike beside him.

Once in the village of Anwel.

The Knight of the Law, Baggett, placed a [Law - Sinner Mark] on Lindsay's body, and this status is still displayed on Lindsay's attribute bar.

In the first place, in order to keep Lindsey safe.

Alvette even used the Anthroposophical Code to send him out of that world.

Theoretically.

Han Sike beside him should react immediately, and it is not surprising that he even fought with Lindsay.

But in fact?

Hanske was quite friendly to Lindsay, and did not feel any sense of the imprint of the law.

In this case.

A hypothesis that had never been considered before came to Lindsay's mind.

- The color of the marker.

Properties panel. Conditions such as colds or injuries are usually marked in red. The Law, the mark of sinners, is in a relatively bleak state, as if it has been suppressed.

The Sophical Code also suppressed the entry into force of this mark?

While thinking, the boat also came to the bottom of the waterfall.

Leaving the area of the waterfall on the lake, the group did not enter the river, but paddled towards the shore, where Lindsay could see a small wooden pier with several wooden stakes at the edge of which were used to tie the boat.

The boat is moored at the shore.

Lindsay stepped off the boat, and Hanske suddenly asked Lindsay:

"Mr. Lindsay, I see that you seem to care about me, do you have any questions that I need to solve?"

Lindsay didn't want to cause trouble for herself, so she immediately pulled out a reason:

"I've heard that the Knights of Law exist in the City of Law."

"But I didn't expect to meet you in such a distant world."

“……”

Hearing Lindsay's confusion, Hanske's eyes darkened a little.

Still, he answered quite frankly:

"Leaving the Capital of Law at such a moment, I am indeed a cowardly fellow."

"However, in the current capital of law, several forces are leading their respective armies to crusade against each other in order to establish their own absolute legal principles to govern the world."

"People like me who don't want to participate in this battle can only leave their homeland like a betrayer."

Hear Han Sike's self-deprecation.

On the other side, the young man, who was still reinforcing the ropes of the boat, was not pleased, and he immediately defended the Knight of the Law:

"Mr. Hanske is not what he says!"

"The big cities on the borders of the world are all newly built. All walks of life are a blank sheet of paper, and they urgently need support from all sides. It was to make up for the legal problems that they had traveled here. ”

"And I'm sure Mr. Hanske will go back."

"How can there be a never-ending war in this world......"

The young man continued to speak.

Lindsay suddenly heard a voice in the distance.

He turned his head to see a carriage coming this way from the woods.

The trees on both sides of the forest seem to consciously make way for the carriage, and the space twists and stretches like a concave mirror.

And in the carriage.

Sitting is a middle-aged man in a purple coat and a gentleman's hat.

He drove to the lake, jumped out of the carriage, and immediately fixed his eyes on Lindsay.

He seemed to have discovered something of great value in Lindsay, and he was reluctant to look away.

He stared at Lindsay for a few seconds.

The middle-aged man chuckled lightly, turned his gaze to the old wizard to the side, and intersected his fingers in a businessman's courtesy gesture:

"Lord Kirsevillette."

"The Chamber of Commerce heard that you suddenly left the city and went to the border of the world, so they sent me to inquire about the situation."

"Judging by the way they look, they must have been to Montenegro, right?"
