"You kid."

"If you are too stubborn and don't listen to the dissuasion of your elders, you will inevitably suffer a big loss!"

"When you come to Volcano City in the future, in addition to the cultivation of essentia and the accumulation of knowledge, you must also learn to behave in the world."

Leaving a rebuke, Qing Qi left.

The existence of the eight stages is rare in the world.

Even if the Forest's will was almost lost, there was absolutely no reason for Volcano City to give it up.

Qing Qi knew what he had to do, so he set off immediately.

So on the ruins of the secret realm of the lake island, which was full of corpses, only Lindsay and Aleni were left looking at each other.

Woo –

A cold north wind blew.

The uncontrolled mud rippled around them, folding into intricate textures under their feet, accompanied by a re-rising wet mist, but mixed with a bit of cloudiness.

The battle between the two sixth-stage awakened has almost completely reshaped the nearby landscape.

The secret realm of the lake island turned into a quagmire swamp.

However, with the attack on the forest leylines, the culprit died on the spot.

Although the surrounding forest plants were still in a violent posture, the anger gradually subsided.

Especially in the middle of this secret realm.

However, due to the manifestation of the will of the forest just now, an even stronger essentia aura permeated here. Even if a person just stands here and does nothing, the recovery speed of physical strength has also increased significantly.

“……”

"The plants didn't attack me because of you, right?"

Aleni spoke in the wind, breaking the silence first:

"What is the will of the forest? Lindsay, mind telling me? ”

Lindsey shrugged:

"To put it simply, Forest Leylines is self-aware and has a pretty good opinion of me. I was dragged to the ground and said a few nice things to it. So in the forest garden in the future, you should not be hostile to these rampaging plants. ”

Lindsey said it lightly, but Alenia didn't think so.

The maiden asked, with the caution of a merchant:

"This shouldn't be a paid service, right?"

Lindsey almost burst out laughing.

Even if they haven't seen each other for a while, the impression of Alini being slashed by herself hasn't changed at all.

"Rest assured, this is a care from a friend, and it doesn't cost anything."

“……”

Alene wrinkled her nose and circled around Lindsay, taking a closer look.

It's like getting acquainted with the man in front of you again.

Her gaze finally fell on Lindsay's restored left hand, and then she continued:

"Well, then I have bad news for you."

"A few days after you left Jiuwan City, the city was in chaos, and I won't be able to give you too many dividends this time."

Lindsay waved her hand very boldly:

"I'm not short of money now, you can keep it for yourself!"

Chatting with Elenie, Lindsay also checks her bags.

Leaving him a seed before the will of the forest subsides is not a simple matter.

[Consumables: Seeds of garden management]

[The seeds with management privileges are stored, and after consumption, you can open the garden's control system and perform an operation.] Options: Environment Adjustment, Water Flow Guidance, Vegetation Reproduction, Species Selection, Enemy Removal ......]

[The control authority of the garden system is extremely valuable! 】

“……”

Lindsey blinked.

With this thing in his hands, he can completely pretend to be the agent of the will of the world.

The next trip to Echo Valley was also a lot safer.

In addition to this, there is another item in the quest reward.

[Accessory/Material: Plant Expert's Backpack]

[After equipping, the user consumes essentia, and the backpack will provide the location information of the surrounding precious plants; It can also be used as a material to make other props. 】

[Rare scouting props with moderate value. 】

Lindsey thought it was a backpack, but she didn't expect it to be an accessory!

The effect of the Plant Expert's Backpack is also very interesting.

If Lindsay carries it on her back, as in the attribute description, she can scout the surrounding plants by consuming essentia.

But if it's not in reality, it's put in the equipment slot.

When Lindsay activates the [Map] skill, the essentia consumed will increase. However, the effect of [Plant Expert's Backpack] will also appear on the map immediately, marking all the precious plants in the closer position!

This feeling.

It's as convenient as turning on the map search function in the game!

Let's take a look at the synthesis list -

[1 Plant Expert's Backpack + 1 Professional Prospector's Pointer + 1 Revenant's Hunting Guide + 1 Thief's Trap Installation Guide = Multi-Purpose Detector]

Want!

Lindsay wanted this gear so badly!

He can't wait to let his left hand fail three times now, and then do the task to collect these items!

Lindsey spun around anxiously in place, fidgeting at the compositing system.

At the same time, Aleni was not idle.

The girl walked over to Alexun's body and shoved the great merchant into her own trading space.

The Alequins though they died.

But the things in his merchant space are still there!

If the body is transported to the United Guild of Merchants.

Regardless of whether you ask someone to help, take out all the materials of Alexand; Or sell it as a product blind box.

It's all very common!

Collecting the body for Alequin, Alini swept her eyes around.

She doesn't mind making some dead money.

But the battle between the two sixth-stage awakened people has made a mess around them, and it is unrealistic to think of any gains.

The merchant girl had no choice but to turn her head to look at Lindsay:

"Lindsay, are you going to Echo Valley next?"

Lindsey nodded:

"That's right, although the injury on my hand is healed, there are still some physical problems, and I have to go again."

Hearing this answer, Elena's tone was a little lost:

"I'm going to go to the city."

"The news of Alexun's death is terrible news. It's like the old woman just now, going to report to Volcano City. I'm going to sell the information here to the Chamber of Commerce. ”

Lindsey also had some regrets:

"It seems that our reunion this time is relatively short."

Lindsay sighed, relieved.

Although it is a pity that I can't go with Eleni.

But the world is like that, it never revolves around one person, everyone has their own things to do.

Seeing that the atmosphere is parting again.

Aleni suddenly spoke, reminding Lindsay:

"Lindsay, you know Hanske and Mulenahuen, right?"

Lindsey says what she knows:

"Rumor has it that they're both missing, but in reality, they seem to be all the way out of the city and chasing them through the forest?"

Eleni nodded solemnly:

"The two of them have appeared around the secret realm before, and the route they took when they left also happened to be in the direction of Echo Valley."

"If you're going there, you'd better be careful on the way."

Lindsay had expected this.

After all, the green pistle he bumped into in the forest was tracking these two guys.

Two injured seventh-stage awakened people......

Thinking of this, Lindsay looked at her newly harvested items.

If it had been placed a day earlier, he would have taken these two seventh-stage awakened ones, and there really would be nothing he could do.

But now......

Lindsay shook her head and smiled, reassured.

"I don't think it's a problem."

Seeing Lindsay's movements, Aleni stopped persuading.

She stepped forward and gave Lindsay a gentle hug as a farewell.

The moment the two of them were close to each other, the merchant girl whispered next to Lindsay's head:

"Lindsay, let's make a pact."

Lindsey asked:

"What agreement?"

There was a hint of girlish complaint in Alini's tone:

"Your appearance is always changing, and I can't tell who you are."

"So let's talk about it, if you disguise yourself to see me in the future, you will leave a mole on your left ear."

"Even if it's our tacit understanding, okay?"
