"We're going to act together after that, don't we introduce ourselves first?"

Lindsey made his way to the edge of Echovale Town.

The town was built in the middle of the valley, and at his speed it was quickly on the edge.

Lindsay grabbed the perceiver with one hand and climbed with the other, and in a few leaps of her body tumbled out of the town and straight up the cliff.

It wasn't until she came to an echo cave that Lindsay put down her perceiver:

"Don't worry, I won't force you to fight the Awakened of the Seventh Stage, you just need to lead the way honestly."

"Our cooperation will be very pleasant!"

“……”

The perceiver looked bitter.

He had the urge to turn around and run.

But as soon as he thought of Lindsay's ability to demonstrate, this delusion was extinguished by himself.

The Perceiver had no choice but to introduce himself:

"My name, my name is Kaji."

"As you can tell, I'm a fourth-stage perceiver, and I don't have much talent for combat."

Lindsey casually replied with a pseudonym:

"Kaji, yes, you don't have to be restrained, just call me Diablo."

Kaji immediately flattered:

"Diablo-sama, your name sounds majestic, you must be an incredible character!"

“……”

Lindsay wanted to laugh a little, but he held back.

He turned around, there were many caves on the mountain wall, and even if he opened the [Puzzle Game] module, he could only see those intricate footprints, and he couldn't tell the right path.

So Lindsay looked at Kaji beside her:

"Tell me, where did Mulenahuen and Hanske get from?"

Hearing this, Kaji's face was a little ugly.

Until now, he still couldn't believe Lindsay's purpose:

"Lord Diablo, do you really want to track down those two seventh-stage awakened ones? Not kidding, right? ”

Lindsay asked rhetorically:

"You and the others weren't as careful as you are when you besieged Foltz?"

“……”

Kaji was exposed to lies by Lindsay several times.

He didn't dare to bet on whether Lindsay was testing himself this time, so he honestly pointed to a location in the lower part of the mountain wall:

"That's it."

"The two of them entered the mountain from here, one after the other, and I don't know what they did in it."

Lindsey nodded.

He grabbed Kaji and continued to climb upwards, easily reaching the entrance of the cave.

The moment Lindsay stepped on, he felt his taskbar react.

Turning his gaze up, a new task emerged.

【Search for the Wounded】

[In the midst of the tense chase, the injured awakened person is trapped here, find him!] 】

【Quest Reward: [Puzzle Game] Module Upgrade]

“……”

"Puzzle game?"

Lindsay raised her eyebrows, and there was some surprise in addition to surprise.

Finding someone from this labyrinthine echo tunnel does have a bit of a puzzle game.

He then looked at Kaji beside him:

"With your skills, you should be able to track their tracks."

Kaji grimaced:

"My lord, it's been more than a day."

"I'm trained in both sight and hearing, and I have good scouting skills. But if it's too far away, there's no way to ......."

Lindsay abruptly interrupted Kaji's answer:

"What about smell?"

"The fourth stage of the perceptual skill should have opened the transcendent sense of smell."

"The two of them are going to leave some smell behind when they pass over here, you should be able to tell the difference, right?"

“……”

Kaji was dumbfounded, his expression was so hard to see that he almost cried.

In the end, he wanted to make some excuses, but he didn't expect to be exposed by Lindsay.

Now the sentient has completely lost all thoughts of rebelling against Lindsay.

He was intent, checking the smell in the air around him.

"Sniff—sniff—"

Strengthened by craftsmanship.

The perceiver's sense of smell is even better than that of an elephant!

In a place like a cave with poor ventilation, let alone a day or two, even if it smelled a week ago, he could smell it clearly!

Kaji quickly discerned the correct route.

This time, he didn't need Lindsay's urging, he was completely convinced, he took the initiative to lead the way, and asked Lindsay by the way:

"Diablo-sama, have you worked with other sentients before? Even if the average person knows that we are good at scouting, they are not very likely to think about the factors of smell and smell. ”

“……”

Lindsay remembered her experiences in Montenegro.

Omar, who is controlled by the drake, is the perceiver of the fifth stage.

After completing the empathy, the tracking ability is even more powerful than Lindsay's map skill.

It's a pity that such talents.

But because of the control of the dragon beast, he stayed in Montenegro forever.

Lindsay sighed:

"I did work with the Perceual, but unfortunately he is out of this world for good......"

Lindsay just sighed casually.

But in Kargill's ears, it sounds like a complete threat!

What does Lindsay mean by that?

The Awakened who once worked with each other have left this world forever!

Does this answer mean that if you don't cooperate well, you will have to face the same fate?

Thinking of this, Kaji immediately oozed cold sweat from his back.

He took the initiative to take a few steps, went deep into the dark cave, and even asked Lindsay behind him:

"Lord Diablo, my eyes can see in the dark, do you need to light a torch?"

Lindsey changed into [Crimson Spider Eye Goggles] in the equipment slot:

"No, I can see it."

“……”

The two of them hurried forward in the dark echo tunnel.

Led by the sense of smell of the perceiver, they soon descended deep into the interior of the mountain, encountering other adventurers who ventured into the tunnels along the way.

But a few hours passed, and the Echo Tunnel still didn't end.

Lindsay opened the [Map] skill, and the number of markers that appeared around him was greatly reduced.

At this moment, the cave they walked in was no longer as round as the outer side of the valley.

The surrounding terrain began to show abrupt edges and corners, and in some places there were even natural cracks in the ground in which pale bones lay in them.

In front of Lindsay, Kaji's movements also began to slow down.

He could smell the scent of the two Seventh-Stage Awakened Ones getting stronger and stronger, and the fear in his heart was getting stronger.

Another distance.

Kaji forced himself to chat with Lindsay behind him, trying to find some security from this strong man:

"By the way, Diablo-sama."

"What kind of class are you awakened?"

"I've been to many worlds, and I've never seen someone as powerful as you!"

Lindsay replied in a flat tone:

"I'm a life scholar, and at best, I've learned some warrior combat techniques."

Life Scientists?

How does this profession see through its own lies?

Kaji was puzzled.

At that moment, he smelled a special smell from the wall, which made him stop immediately.

"Not Mulenahuun, not Hanske?"

"The smell...... That's not right! ”
