Chapter 276: Up and Down

"kill!"

snap——

A roar filled with murderous intent sounded.

A tall man with a strong build and a single sword in his hand launched a charge after shouting.

There were no gravel or logs blocking the way.

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

All life force disappears from his body.

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

The businessman who was still in crisis just now was sitting on the ground tremblingly, looking to the side with flickering eyes.

This is the foothills of Mount Consonis.

And the person who killed the awakened robber with just one look.

It's a girl.

The other party has an astonishing beauty. Although her black and white hair is eye-catching, what is more likely to leave an impression is her flame-like red eyes, from which the gray source matter is dissipating at this moment.

The businessman did not dare to admire this beauty at all.

Although he is just a businessman.

But with the eyesight of walking around, I also understand how exaggerated power it is to kill an awakened person with just a look!

Hong strode up to the businessman and pulled him up:

"Hey, tell me, where is this?"

The businessman replied tremblingly:

"This is the world where Narcobondek lives, the hometown of warriors from all over the universe."

"Narkbondek?" The red eyebrows raised. She had heard this name from Lindsay, but she didn't expect that she would be randomly teleported to such a place. "Then do you know where the world of Montenegro is?"

"Ah? Black Mountain World?" The businessman's expression was blank.

"Tsk——"

Hong smacked his lips and continued to ask:

"Then tell me where Narcobondek is and how to get there."

The businessman pointed to Mount Consonis in front of him.

"After climbing over this mountain, you can see the city in more than ten miles' distance."

Red shook her hair dissatisfiedly.

She didn't let go of the businessman, she grabbed him with one hand and walked forward.

The businessman was caught in the girl's hand and was stunned for a long time before he began to cry:

"Miss, I'm just a small businessman! I have a batch of goods that need to be delivered to the border before April. You should let me go...ah!"

The businessman hadn't finished his plea for mercy.

Hong then leaped high into the air, jumping straight to the cliff surface near the two of them, and quickly climbed up with inhuman agility.

Hong's course of action has always been direct and efficient.

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

At the same time, she asked the businessman in front of her:

"Oh, should I let go now?"

The businessman looked at the abyss below and swallowed:

"Uh...please wait a moment."

"..."

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

Of course, this is ‘down’ in the physical sense.

He sat in a small boat and dived down the waterfall. The fierce water flow passed by him, and in the blink of an eye he entered the dark void at the junction of the worlds.

This kind of sliding downhill is definitely several times faster than the hard climb on the Babel Vine.

It doesn't take more than a few hours.

A moment later, they crossed the dark void and saw a whole new world below.

——The courtyard in the forest.

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

At the bottom of the waterfall is a lake of accumulated water.

Two rivers extend out, flowing in the distance from the east and south respectively, and finally disappear into the dense shade forest.

Some of the trees in the forest have lush branches and tangled trunks, like ancient guardians.

The plants beside the rivers and lakes are delicate and beautiful, with bright colors, attracting butterflies and bees to fly here. Occasionally, a fallen leaf falls lightly, welcoming every visitor with a soft dance.

"This is the garden in the forest..."

Lindsay whispered.

Although the water vapor from the waterfall covers the smell of the forest.

But he could also imagine the aroma of earth and various flowers and plants in this world.

Recalling her experience across the world, Lindsay couldn't help but sigh:

"The hidden border is affected by the Black Mountains. The location of the border is completely covered by heavy snow."

The law knight in front of the boat heard this sigh and proudly explained:

"This place would have been affected by the advancement of the dragon beast."

"But with Lord Coserwillet sitting in charge, we can maintain its original appearance."

It's this wizard.

Lindsay looked at the old man in gray robe beside him.

The other party didn't take it seriously and just nodded slightly towards him, remaining silent and saying few words.

In other words, from the time we met until now.

This seventh-stage wizard has never shown any power except helping the boat slide down the waterfall.

Even if Lindsay turns on her detection ability, she can only feel the weak existence of source material from the opponent, which is completely different from the dragon beast or the dark abyss.

If we meet inadvertently.

Without knowing the details, Lindsay would probably think that this was an ordinary old man.

But what Lindsay is most worried about now is Han Sike, the law knight beside him.

Once in the village of Annville.

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

In order to keep Lindsay safe.

Arvette even used the "Anthroposophical Code" to decisively send him away from that world.

In theory.

Hansike beside him should have reacted immediately, and it would not be surprising if he even had a fight with Lindsay.

But what about the reality?

Hansike was quite friendly to Lindsay, and he did not feel any sense of the law mark.

In this case.

A hypothesis that had never been considered before emerged in Lindsay's mind.

——The color of the mark.

On the attribute panel. Status such as colds or injuries are usually marked in red. However, [Law-Sinner Mark] is a relatively dim state, as if the effect has been suppressed.

Did the "Anthroposophical Code" also suppress the effectiveness of this mark?

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

After leaving the range of the water flow on the lake that was impacted by the waterfall, the group did not enter the river, but rowed towards the shore. Lindsay could see a small wooden pier with several wooden stakes for tying boats on the edge.

The boat moored at the shore.

Lindsay got off the boat, and Hansike suddenly asked Lindsay:

"Mr. Lindsay, I see you seem to care about me a lot, do you have any questions that I can help you with?"

Lindsay didn't want to cause trouble for himself, so he immediately made up a reason:

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

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

"..."

Hearing Lindsay's confusion, Hansike's eyes dimmed a little.

But he still gave a very frank answer:

"I am indeed a coward to leave the City of Law at this time."

"But now in the City of Law, several forces are leading their armies to fight 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 traitor."

Hearing Hansike's self-mockery.

On the other side, the young man who was still reinforcing the ropes of the boat was unhappy. He immediately defended the Knight of Law:

"Mr. Hansike is not like what he said!"

"Several large cities on the border of the world are newly built. All walks of life are blank and urgently need support from all sides. They traveled here just to make up for the legal problems."

"And I believe that Mr. Hansike will definitely go back."

"There is no war that will never end in this world..."

The young man continued to speak.

Lindsay suddenly heard a voice from afar.

He turned his head and saw a carriage coming from the forest.

The trees on both sides of the forest seemed to make way for the carriage as if they had consciousness, and the space was twisted and stretched like a concave mirror.

And in the carriage.

There was a middle-aged man wearing a purple coat and a gentleman's hat.

He drove to the lake, jumped off the carriage, and his eyes were immediately locked on Lindsay.

He seemed to have discovered something extremely valuable from Lindsay, and he was even reluctant to look away.

He just stared at Lindsay quietly for a few seconds.

The middle-aged man chuckled, turned his gaze to the old wizard beside him, and crossed his fingers to show the courtesy of a businessman:

"Lord Cosevillat."

"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."

"From the looks of you, you should have been to Black Mountain, right?"
