Chapter 15 Bell Tower and
Lighthouse Lindsay chose to accept Hongyue’s suggestion.
He also knew that keeping his heart tight was not a good thing, so he set off quickly.
But this time when she went to town, Lindsay didn't just relax.
On the way to the town, he trotted along, holding behind him the small cart that the carpenter lent him.
After running hard this time, Lindsay's physical experience bar increased a little.
Agility, which was making good progress, also made a breakthrough.
[Agility: 3] → [Agility: 4]
The improvement of agility is more intuitive than that of physical fitness.
Lindsay's speed on the road immediately became a little faster, and her body also experienced a change in lightness.
This put him in a good mood.
By the time we arrived in town, it was getting dark.
Lindsay did see kids her own age.
But these kids...are playing peek-a-boo.
With Lindsay's inner age, she really can't bully children shamelessly.
"Playing games, this is not the kind of game I want to play."
"Spider Solitaire is better than this."
Lindsay scratched her hair.
He's already thinking about making his own deck of cards and playing small games like FreeCell.
I am afraid that I will never have the opportunity to play the video games I loved in my previous life.
But through some simple things, maybe we can relieve the pain of lovesickness.
Lindsay watched the children playing happily for a while, but she had nothing.
He felt unhappy.
So I simply dragged the cart to the carpenter's house, preparing to return this thing to the other party first.
Bang, bang, bang -
Lindsay knocked on the door, and the carpenter uncle in coarse cloth opened the door for him immediately.
"Little brother, it's you!"
The carpenter looked surprised when he saw Lindsay.
It's definitely satisfying when the people you help keep their promises and take things seriously.
"How is Ms. Hongyue? How is your health?"
Lindsay looked back with a smile:
"She is in good spirits, and she also guided me in repairing the fence in the cemetery today."
After hearing this, the carpenter's face turned pale, and there was a look in his eyes. Responsibility is mixed with regret.
"Oh, it's all my fault!"
"The fence is broken, I should have repaired it." "
But the last few times I went to repair it, Ms. Hongyue wanted to pay me, but I was embarrassed to accept it. I didn't expect to shirk it. times, it ended up like this!"
After regretting it, the carpenter also wanted to make amends.
It happened that the nun's godson was right in front of him, so he came up with a plan to keep Lindsay at his house for dinner.
"Child, my meal has just been prepared. Come and have something to eat together."
Lindsay shook her head and refused:
"No, I have eaten in the evening and I have to go home soon."
"It's great to go back. Home."
There was a hint of nostalgia in the carpenter's eyes.
There are awakened people stationed in the hidden border, but before the teleportation ability failed, more ordinary people moved in from other places.
The carpenter uncle is one of them.
Lindsay's answer naturally reminded him of his hometown.
But after the world was completely cut off, there was no way to deal with this homesickness.
Lindsay didn't realize this yet.
After returning the wooden cart to the carpenter, he took his leave and returned to town, his eyes wandering around.
"Entertainment, what kind of entertainment can I find?"
Lindsay was a little confused.
Started wandering around the town aimlessly.
The town on the hidden border is several times larger than the village of Anville.
He continued along the gravel path and passed through a small square where he saw a bluestone sculpture. It depicts a man in a cloak, holding a hiking pole, with a confident and cheerful expression.
The details of the sculpture are polished very delicately, as if telling a piece of history that belongs to the past.
Lindsay leaned over and saw a name written on the base of the statue.
[The Great Explorer - Poirot Weir]
"The Great Explorer..."
To be able to erect a statue in this hidden frontier place, the owner of this name is probably not a simple person.
Lindsay continued to wander around town.
The novelty of arriving in a strange place for the first time was still there, and he didn't feel bored either.
In this case, he gradually walked to the westernmost part of the village, and his eyes were attracted by a gray-white tower. It was the tallest building in the town, an old bell tower.
The stone exterior walls have lost their color over time, but they add a unique sense of vicissitudes of life. Every hour on the hour, the big bell on the clock tower will ring the corresponding number of times, and its sound will be melodious, echoing over the entire town.
Lindsay was attracted by it and walked over.
Just below the bell tower, at the base of the main entrance, two guards sat on the steps, joking and chatting with each other.
As luck would have it, this was the person who was going to take Lindsay away in the morning.
At this moment, the two sides met again. They no longer had the panic in the morning when they saw the nun. Instead, they waved to say hello to Lindsay and showed a flattering smile: "
Little brother, you are here."
"Congratulations on becoming Ms. Red Moon's godson. !"
Lindsay is also happy to chat with people and learn more about the situation here.
"Thank you. I'm very happy to follow you."
"But I'm still a little curious. Everyone in the town seems to respect my godmother?"
The guard replied directly:
"Of course!"
"Because no matter who is awakened or Ordinary people, Ms. Hongyue handles the deceased in every household with a serious attitude without making any distinction. This is a respectable adult!" Lindsay
asked about the bell tower in front of her again:
"Why is this bell tower built in the village? On the edge."
"Shouldn't it be most appropriate for the building to tell the time to be erected in the center of the town?"
Hearing Lindsay's doubts, the fatter guard smiled and pointed to the west:
"Little brother, do you know where to go? What's that on the other side?"
Lindsay looked to the west.
The sky stretched as far as the eye could see, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed it into an orange-red curtain.
But looking down, there is neither forest nor town anymore.
"The end of this world?"
"That's right." The fat guard nodded, and then pointed to the clock tower, "You see it is a clock tower, but that is facing the direction of the town; on the side facing the end of the world, it is actually a lighthouse." "Whenever night falls
, Or if the weather is bad, the yellow gems above will light up to guide the big guys who don’t know when they will come back."
Lindsay continued to ask:
"I heard that there are many powerful awakened people who want to find the people on the other side. world."
"Maybe, but that was more than a hundred years ago."
Lindsay originally thought that the guards would be in awe of the awakened ones, but the actual view was different.
After the fat guard complained, the thinner one even complained:
"Really, I don't know what's the point of continuing to stay here, and it makes us unable to go home. No matter how powerful the dragon beast is, there is only one. We can't look at the entire Black Mountain world. With the lord here, can't we find a way to sneak over?"
Amidst the complaints of the guards, Lindsay cast his eyes into the distance.
That is the boundary of the Hidden Frontier, the end of the entire known universe, the westernmost void of the far frontier.
An indescribable impulse surged in Lindsay's heart.
That is human curiosity about unknown areas.
He seemed to feel that the opposite side of this void must not be some despairing abyss of nothingness, but that there was a real world on the other side.
Once upon a time 120 years ago.
The powerful awakened people who came here from various worlds set out here and have not returned yet.
What is it that keeps them here and prevents them from returning?
A terrible danger, a great temptation, or something important.
Or even death?
Lindsay spent a lot of time here in the lighthouse clock tower.
He did not leave after the guards left, but continued to stand here and look at the sky.
My heart is completely relaxed in this kind of tranquility.
Until nightfall is about to fall.
Lindsay left the bell tower and ran back to the church.
By the time he was out of breath and returned home with one more experience point, the sky had completely darkened, and the bright white moon could be seen rising in the east.
"Mommy, I'm back."
Lindsay thought this day would be full of passion.
But in fact, there was no near miss, and it was spent in such a fulfilling and ordinary way.
It wasn't until she turned off the lights and fell asleep that Hongyue finished her prayers in the cemetery. Then she called Lindsay in front of her and gave her last instructions for the day:
"Lindsay, after you finish studying Chinese writing with me tomorrow morning, you need to go to the lord's manor."
Lindsay was unaware of the afternoon meeting in the chapel.
Hearing this, she subconsciously thought that the lord was still looking for trouble, and her heart became tense:
"Mr. lord, is he still going to attack me? Does this mean that you will have a big conflict with him?"
Hongyue shook her head. , stated the specific arrangements:
"There is no contradiction."
"It is difficult to recruit new awakened people in the Hidden Frontier, so he will teach you some useful things and try to get you on the path of war. Later, there will be others who will attack you. Teaching."
In Hong Yue's mouth, this seemed to be just a competition between Lord An Rui and other awakened people in the town.
She said nothing about it.
This opportunity was entirely obtained by her help Lindsay.
