Pap-

Lindsey stepped forward in the shallow water.

Although the heavy rain in the forest has slowed down, the stagnant water on the streets does not immediately drain away. The cracks in the stone street road splash with every step.

People are hurrying on the streets, and many people are still talking to each other.

The further north you go, the more common this kind of image becomes.

Some people even look nervous.

The adventurers in the inn take what is happening in the north of the town as a talking point, so they can talk and laugh. But those who really regard this as a serious incident and come to investigate it are not so easy.

Lindsay continued north of town.

Looking through the low houses on the road, he looked out over the hills on either side and saw the peaks on either side that surrounded the town.

The town of Echo Valley is located in the Echo Valley and is being built along the banks of the river.

The gray-black siding stones are covered with dense craters, and a unique humming sound is reflected on rainy days.

Before Lindsay entered the town, the rain was pouring down.

The sound reflected from the peaks of Echo Valley is also particularly noticeable.

Now that the rain is weakening, the sound is quieter, so it's fun to experience it carefully.

According to the natives.

The echo craters vary in size and shape, and their internal structure is extremely complex, and they are interconnected.

Ordinary people walk in, are confused by the echo phenomenon, and then are rounded around by the complex terrain.

It's easy to get lost and never see the light of day until you die.

Only a handful of explorers claim to have reached the very bottom of the Echo Cave.

"Echo Valley ......"

"It's a natural tourist destination."

"But in the past, long ago, could it have been man-made, like the glaciers of Montenegro?"

Lindsay stepped on the stagnant water, and her mind began to drift away.

The roads in the town were always close to the river, and Lindsay couldn't help but shake her head and sigh whenever she saw the raging water.

In the rainstorm in the past two days, he also tried fishing.

It's a pity that most of the fish that are hooked are some local specialties, which can only satisfy the appetite.

"Except for storms that can cause flooding. Simple rainstorm weather is not a special environment. ”

Lindsay doesn't want to expose her exaggerated physicality.

So it took him about half an hour to walk from the south of the town to the north of the town.

Then she tried to open the map, and Lindsey tried to find out where the problem was, and the town was full of markers.

It is basically impossible to judge the location by the number of people.

"I can only ask someone."

Lindsay's vision swept around.

Adventurers walk the streets during heavy rains, not to mention when the rain is decreasing. However, in addition to these outsiders, locals have also begun to move around.

The main industry in Echo Valley is tourism.

There are also townspeople who need to go to the jungle to gather resources to make ends meet.

The lockdown for more than a month has made their living environment worse, and the expressions on their faces are mostly sad and painful.

Even if the forest has eased down, it can be re-entered.

But in addition to the hope of renewal, they also buried a layer of resentment that could not be dissolved.

"Hey, what are you doing, kid!"

Bang –

On the street, a young boy was suddenly pushed to the ground by adventurers.

He fell into the stagnant water in the street, his expression panicked.

Immediately, the adventurer stepped forward, looked at each other with a condescending gaze, and raised a kick to kick it again:

"Running so fast without eyes? Didn't see that I was in a hurry......"

Syllable!

The adventurer's kick was directly in the air.

Or when he was about to kick the boy, Lindsay next to him took a step forward and crossed his left leg in front of the opponent.

The adventurer kicked it as if he had hit a solid iron pillar. The pain from the front of his calf made him scold:

"Where did you come from, you want to make a difference......

Syllable!

Lindsay's right hand slapped directly on the adventurer's shoulder.

At the same time, the adventurer's arrogant and arrogant voice a second ago also completely disappeared at this moment.

“……”

The adventurer looked horrified.

He didn't see Lindsay's movements clearly at all, he only felt that the afterimage in front of him flashed, and the other party's hand slapped on his shoulder.

The ensuing power almost crushed his bones!

He couldn't even use the strength to break free of his body!

Warrior?

At least three or more stages of awakening?

"Friend, he's just a kid, you don't need to be so impatient."

That's when Lindsay spoke.

He let go and pushed the adventurer out, who staggered back a few steps and nearly fell into the water.

Then he didn't even dare to say a cruel word.

The adventurer turned and ran to the other side of the street, and without daring to look back, he disappeared into the rain.

Lindsay then reached out to the child who fell to the ground:

"Are you alright?"

“……”

The boy looked at Lindsay's hand, but in the end he didn't dare to hold it, and got up from the water himself.

He lowered his head and didn't even dare to look directly at Lindsay:

"Thank you, sir."

The boy knew it in his heart.

The adventurer who had just pushed him down was an Awakened One.

Being able to stop the other party, or even scare them away so easily, Lindsay is definitely a stronger existence.

The boy had some gratitude in his heart, but more of it was fear.

“……”

Looking at the boy's appearance, Lindsay also guessed the other party's mood.

At this time, comforting or showing favor will only exacerbate the other party's fear, and Lindsay directly said his problem:

"Folz, I wonder where a guy named Folz lives? Can you tell me? ”

The boy resignedly asked:

"You mean the guy who disappeared the night before yesterday?"

Lindsay nodded, "That's right." ”

The boy immediately pointed to a wooden house in the distance, the sides of which were faintly visible under the rain curtain:

"He's in the house over there, Aunt Hela's."

Lindsay had to ask a few more questions and find out more information.

As a result, the child gave the answer, turned around and walked away, with an attitude of reverence for the awakened.

“……”

"There seem to be a lot of people who cause trouble here."

Lindsey shook her head slightly.

He had just been searching around for someone he could find out about.

happened to find out about this scene, so I came to help.

But now it seems that the situation in the town may not be as positive as the adventurers have shown.

A very large number of outsiders stay in a small town for more than a month.

There were even wars.

When these conditions come together, if you think about it, you know that nothing good will happen.

If it's just one or two separate events.

Lindsey didn't mind stepping in to stop the bullying and oppression.

If it was the entire town, or even the status accumulated by the Awakened in society, he might not be able to do anything.

Faced with bad sights and rainy weather.

Lindsay's mood was a little low.

He continued in the direction the boy had pointed out, and when the rain curtain was lifted, he could see the building clearly.

It is a two-story wooden house, not much different from the other buildings on the street.

But before Lindsay knocked on the door and entered, a few meters away in the street, he heard an angry roar from the house:

"What are you doing? Get the hell out of here. ”
