Chapter 285 Driven by Interests

Lindsay felt like she was just a passerby.

There are clues that the forest leyline is under attack. If you go back and tell the wizards, the matter here will be over.

What happened here had essentially nothing to do with him.

But on the way back, Lindsay saw a familiar figure.

Kang Qi, the life scholar who came to him for information last night, was sitting at the post station at the gate of the city. He was accompanied by several other awakened people, all wearing the standard cloaks of life scholars.

At this moment, these life scholars looked gloomy and were discussing something intensely.

Lindsay silently adjusted the equipment column and vaguely heard some conversations.

"This commotion...a coincidence?"

"But... we can't leave here... we have to figure things out!"

"The world of Black Mountain...is the priority..."

The sound quickly disappeared.

Elini, who was driving the carriage, did not say hello to these life scholars, and the movement during the carriage also blocked part of the sound.

Recalling what she heard, Lindsay probably had some guesses.

The Life Scholars are the de facto management force in Cape Lookout City.

Frequent forest disturbances obviously troubled them.

Under this circumstance, the work of sending people to the Black Mountain world was naturally affected and was not as smooth as before.

"Kang Qi." Elini, who was on the carriage, touched Lindsay's shoulder lightly, her tone complaining, "That guy is a leader. He likes to go to the market to cause trouble for us when nothing happens."

Lindsay did not express an opinion immediately, but replied tentatively:

"In my impression, businessmen generally promote the development of cities?"

Elini was not surprised by this:

"Yes, but we are also awakened people, so we will inevitably receive the looks of disdain from some people."

On the carriage, the two people quickly returned to the northeastern city.

Elini sent Lindsay back to the door and hurried back to the commercial street in the south.

The turmoil in the forest can be considered a frightening situation for the residents of the city.

But for businessmen, they may not be unable to seize business opportunities.

On the other side, Lindsay returned to the house with thoughts.

"Mr. Lindsay!" Ruili jumped down from the chair the moment she opened the door, holding a freshly whittled wooden board in her shaky hand, "How is it outside? Is the city in trouble? "

Lindsay shook her head and said:

"No big deal."

"Lord Coserwillet has calmed the forest, and everything should be fine in a short time."

"Fortunately, the wizard is here." Ruili breathed a sigh of relief. On top of her head, the pair of fluffy white ears belonging to the Chaluo Rabbit finally relaxed from their tense upright position: "Then I'll be relieved."

Ruili pulled Lindsay to the front hall of the cabin:

"I made a sink as per your request. Do you think it's qualified?"

Plan where to place your plants in Lindsay.

The scattered wooden boards have been neatly arranged, and there is also the required sink below.

Lindsay poured some water and checked.

Ruili's craftsmanship is excellent.

Her design not only fulfilled Lindsay's requirements, but also used some inserted wooden channels in the middle. If needs change in the future, this design leaves room for adjustment in advance.

"Ruili, you did a great job!"

Lindsay doesn’t hesitate to praise.

Chaluo Rabbit also smiled shyly:

"You flatter me."

"In return for your trust, I will definitely work hard!"

So saying.

Lindsay also changed her tools and prepared to continue building her own cabin.

Seeing this, Ruili took the initiative to ask about the next work:

"What do we do now?"

"Take care of the dining room and bedroom, and make a batch of cabinets for storage."

"By the way, Mr. Lindsay. This sawing table of yours is really easy to use. Can I tell other people about this structure when I go back so that they can imitate it?"

"No problem at all!"

"..."

Back at work, time passes much faster.

at dusk.

End of day's work.

Ruili, who had eaten perfect food in the living room, left here with blurred eyes.

Lindsay, on the other hand, cleaned up her dirty clothes, tidied up her clothes, and went to the wizard's residence next door.

This is a simple one-story bungalow.

There are no luxurious buildings, no sculptures or decorations that show taste, and there are even a little dirty things on the fence.

It's like the houses that can be seen everywhere in the countryside.

It is completely unable to match the power of the seven-stage powerhouse.

"..."

Lindsay was silent.

He turned around and saw a cow pen next to it.

The old wizard only lives in this hut and has no servants to serve him, so he also takes care of the job of raising cattle?

The fence in the wizard's yard was open.

Lindsay walked straight in, calling and knocking on the door:

"Lord Coseveret, are you at home?"

"Please come in!"

The wizard's old voice came from inside the house, and at the same time there was the sound of chair legs scraping against the ground.

Lindsay stepped forward and pushed the door open.

The door didn't have a lock, or there was no need to lock it.

Coseveret was sitting in the living room, with two basins in front of him.

He was washing some fresh berries on his hands. The fruits were dark purple in color and similar in shape to acai berries.

The old wizard took the initiative to hand some to Lindsay:

"These are newly picked black-eyed plums. Do you want to try them?"

Linsey tasted some of the fruit, which tasted sweet and sour.

Although it was not convenient to grow crops on a large scale in the forest garden, the resources produced by the forest world itself were also quite abundant.

The two greeted each other.

Lindsay quickly changed the topic to her purpose:

"Lord Coswellite, when there was a riot in the forest today, I also went out to check it out."

The old wizard nodded gently:

"Did you find anything?"

Lindsay said frankly:

"The forest's ground veins were attacked by people, so it caused today's problems."

"..."

The old wizard was silent for a few seconds, then he said:

"I am very grateful for your information."

"But because of this, you will be in trouble next."

Lindsay told her plan truthfully:

"I have my own plans to do. I will leave Lookout City and the Forest Courtyard soon."

"Even if I don't intervene." A sigh flashed in the old wizard's turbid eyes, "Some things are unavoidable."

Lindsay is very confident about this:

"It doesn't matter. They can't keep me."

"And this matter has nothing to do with me, to be precise. They have no reason to provoke someone who plans to leave this world."

The old wizard just calmly pointed out one point:

"But Lindsay, you came from Black Mountain."

Lindsay's expression changed instantly.

After being reminded, he immediately realized where the problem was.

The old wizard also nodded and said:

"A world itself contains value, not to mention that you are the only one who knows that world best."

Once you understand the reason.

Lindsay's reaction will naturally not be too slow:

"So the awakened people of the Life Scholars and the Merchant Guild have already set their sights on me."

"..."

The old wizard nodded gently and did not speak.

Lindsay tried to ask:

"What if I tell them everything I know about the Black Mountain World in detail?"

The old wizard's view was not optimistic:

"Greed often leads people to make some sad choices."

"They may not be violent to you, but other obstacles will always come one after another."

"..."

"I'm sorry to bother you by visiting so late."

Lindsay did not entrust Coswellite to provide protection for himself, or make other excessive demands.

He thanked the old wizard for his reminder and then said goodbye.

Finally, he walked out of the fence.

Lindsay took two steps forward on the night road and found a pretty figure standing at the door of her house next door.

Because the distance was very close, Lindsay did not close the door when she went out.

Elini was also very polite, and the girl did not break into Lindsay's house without permission, just waiting for Lindsay's return here quietly.

The moonlight spread a bright carpet on the ground.

She walked forward with light steps, her pretty face was as clear and white as spring water, and her eyes were alert and moving:

"Lindsay, the night is really charming tonight."
