"yes, I can smell them!"

Lindsay followed the footprints on the ground, and Kaji behind him quickly caught the breath of the two again.

Explore the tunnel through the trees.

The terrain is quite complex, and there are often wooden doors on both sides of the tunnel, among which are rooms with different functions.

Some places are clearly the owner's house, while others have only carved out a considerable amount of space and are still not in use.

The design of the garden.

In addition to being the core of the world, it also intends to build it as a city.

Lindsey and Kaji advanced here for half an hour.

The footprints on the ground hadn't changed, but the scent that Kaji could smell became clearer little by little.

The Perceiver immediately reminded Lindsay:

"Diablo sir, the smell in the air is clearer."

"The guy who came here first should have been more than a day in the morning than we did. But the guy in the back with the smell of horses was much closer, probably only about half a day before us. ”

Lindsey raised an eyebrow:

"It's only half a day early......"

"In that case, he may have made a move in Echovale as well."

"Kaji, haven't you been staying in Echo Valley Town, can you think of any suspicious targets?"

Kaji looked stunned.

He first looked for a target in terms of smell, but found no similar guys, so he could only explain what he had heard:

"After the forest mutation was restored, many people fled into the town from outside, and there were too many suspicious targets. But if you have to ask, Razor is a special guy. ”

"That guy is an explorer. When I entered the town with the fleet, I heard that they had found a lot of good things in the forest! ”

“……”

"Impossible, it won't be them."

Lindsey immediately dismissed Kaji's speculation.

But hearing Razor's name from the other party's mouth, his mood inevitably improved a lot.

After the mutation of the forest is resolved.

Lindsey also notifies Razor by canceling the summon.

However, Lei Ze was able to reach Echo Ancient Town further than himself.

It seems that in the forest, the explorer and other companions also have more adventures that Lindsay did not know.

"Huh?"

At that moment, Lindsay paused.

He noticed that not far in front of the tunnel, the light in the space suddenly became gentle and bright.

It's not like the light emitted by the texture of the trees has changed.

Instead, there seems to be a larger and warmer light source ahead!

Kaji immediately became nervous:

"Diablo-sama ......"

Lindsay waved her hand and took the initiative to walk ahead:

"Kaji, you're following me, I'll take on any danger."

"If you find anything, just let me know in time."

With that, Lindsey took the Ice Badger Mace in her hand.

Now that the Law of Freezing is a weapon in the equipment slot, this large, dangerous mace can be used as a normal weapon.

Soon, Lindsay and Kaji came to the end of the tunnel.

They stepped into the light, and the image before them was shocked.

At the end of the tunnel is a large open platform, the edge of which directly extends beyond the boundaries of the garden and connects to the boundary of the space.

But this is not the same as the wonders at the crossroads of the world.

Looking out over the wooden fence of the platform, it wasn't the Endless Void that came into view.

It's a town that stretches out of a canyon, and a river runs through it.

"It's ...... Echo Ancient Town?! ”

Kaji had lived in Echo Valley for a month and a half, and was very familiar with the place.

He immediately recognized the scenery in front of him.

It's just that unlike standing in the town in person, Lindsay looked at Echo Valley Town at the moment, and a thin layer of light mist seemed to float in front of her eyes!

The power of the garden is not merely to place itself in a secondary phase.

It is difficult for outsiders to observe and discover the garden, but those who are in it can easily see the scenery outside!

Now the night has passed, and the sun has risen outside.

This light shone through the mist, and it was the warm daylight that Lindsay and Caji saw!

"How does this work?"

Lindsey ran to the edge of the fence in two steps.

His gaze focused on this layer of mist, and the [Puzzle Game] module displayed the corresponding message.

[Controllable Phase Film——Through this film, you can get out of the special phase and return to the Overworld.] 】

“……”

"This feature is a bit too powerful, isn't it?"

Lindsay looked at the explanation and immediately thought of the usefulness of this thing.

People from the outside world face the inside of the garden, and they can't see or enter; But those who are in the garden can leave here at will, and even attack the ignorant enemy directly under the premise of being in a safe environment!

This spatial hierarchy rules.

Definitely better than any terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack on a geographical level.

For Lindsay, though, the terrain means something else.

The town of Echo Valley is built along the banks of the river, so from here, you can also see the water of the Echo River flowing through it.

"Wouldn't you be able to fish here?"

A bold idea popped into Lindsay's head.

It was only Kargi behind him, calling his name at this moment, interrupting Lindsay's imagination:

"Lord Diablo, this seems to be a banquet hall, huh?"

Lindsey turned her head to look, and her eyes were fixed on the structure of the hall itself.

This exposed platform at the edge of the garden is open and has several tunnels leading deeper into the garden.

And on the platform itself, there are also exquisite table and chair decorations.

Among them, there are many delicate plates and wine glasses, which are enough to reflect the extravagance of this place.

Lindsay can imagine what happened here.

People hold banquets here, and even look through the mist to see the scenery from afar.

You must know that tens of thousands of years ago, the town of Echo Valley was not established, and what you see here is a beautiful natural picture.

"Are there any traces on these cutlery?"

Lindsay stepped forward, took a closer look, and found more details.

The table and chair decorations on the platform are not corrupted because they are protected by the power of the garden.

But the plates and cups in it have some residues of color blocks solidified on them.

"It's the traces left by the food."

"It's just that over the course of a long time, they've long since decayed completely."

"But these remnants show that when the garden was abandoned, people were even holding banquets......"

Combined with what you have seen and heard.

Lindsay immediately remembered one thing - "It's the ancient war in which the Crown of Extermination participated!" ”

"Boom-"

Lindsey swallowed.

Although the garden has the will of the forest, it is not controlled by anyone and has long lost its autonomy.

Now the long years have passed.

Isn't there something dangerous about the old past?
