Chapter 395: Reaping What Was Sown
Chapter 395: Reaping What Was Sown
"Lei Ze, how's the situation over there?"
"..."
"The Organizer's technique's influence has disappeared!" A voice echoed from above, along with a tree path. The adventurer looked up and shouted back, "Everyone is basically fine!"
The adventurer had no intention of paying attention to the sudden surge of essence.
He was busy waking up his fallen companions one by one.
Even if they weren't like the holders of life essence, being drained of power meant death.
But if they continued to remain unconscious, maintaining this state wasn't a good thing either.
"Phew—"
On the tree path, Lindsey breathed a sigh of relief.
Before him was a young green seedling that was withering.
A few minutes ago, when Lindsey headed towards the Core Tower, he happened to discover Lei Ze and his group below, and thus noticed the misfortune that had befallen these adventurers.
—Mullernaun was draining their power.
The purpose of this act was undoubtedly the Organizer's attempt to enter the Core Tower.
To cross thousands of kilometers to reach the tower and stop their actions was undoubtedly a pipe dream.
In a moment of desperation, Lindsey thought of a solution.
He used the Garden Management Seed, a privilege that fed the power of the garden back to the world, nurturing all living beings.
This way.
Even if someone reached the core, they couldn't cause a greater disaster by drawing on the garden's power.
At this very moment, Lindsey felt the surging essence around him.
This was his first experience with an essence surge since becoming an Awakened.
The dark clouds in the sky had been completely blown away by that powerful force, and warm sunlight shone down, making him feel as if he were bathing in a spring breeze.
The world itself.
Seemed to be celebrating this moment alongside Lindsey.
It was then that Lindsey noticed the changes on his attribute panel.
【Jungle Expedition IV】 was marked as completed.
"..."
"I thought I was going to fail."
Lindsey shook his head slightly.
The requirements of the 【Jungle Expedition IV】 quest were to protect the forest from thieves and end the suffering of nature.
Although his method had squandered the power of the garden.
He had undoubtedly fulfilled the requirements of this quest.
"Mullernaun, Kuiter..."
Lindsey muttered the names of the other two Awakened.
He couldn't confirm the status of these two Awakened.
But based on the changes in the quest panel, the forest crisis had indeed ended, and there was no sign of a 【Jungle Expedition V】 quest.
"Speaking of which, this is also my first time completing a quest chain."
Lindsey claimed his rewards.
【Consumable - Garden Renovation】
【After use, renovate your home's garden to meet the planting needs of most plants.】
【A simple and useful one-time renovation item, of high value.】
——————
【Accessory/Material: Professional Prospector's Compass】
【When equipped, the user consumes essence, and the compass provides location information about valuable minerals nearby; it can also be used as a material to craft other items.】
【A rare reconnaissance item of moderate value.】
Two rewards.
The 【Professional Prospector's Compass】, needless to say, was naturally one of the synthesis sub-items in the exploration series.
As for the 【Garden】... Lindsey immediately had a use for it.
Once he found a convenient place and set up his shop, the garden in the backyard used for cultivating plants could also undergo an additional upgrade.
"Lord Diablo!"
Just then, an excited voice came from behind Lindsey.
He turned and saw Kaghi, his body trembling, looking at Lindsey with intense excitement!
"An essence surge, it's an essence surge!"
"What did you do just now?
How could such a miracle be triggered?"
Kaghi's voice trembled.
If this could be replicated, it would have an incomparable and enormous impact on the entire universe!
"I... I have never heard of such a thing in the world!"
"The Essence Surge only appears during the Harvest Day that occurs once every ten years, without any exceptions!"
"..."
"This is not my achievement; it is merely the result of the garden's power being released."
Lindsey shook his head lightly and pointed to the Central High Tower ahead.
"Let's go."
"It seems our business here is done, but we need to confirm the true outcome with our own eyes to be at ease."
With that, Lindsey walked towards the Central High Tower.
Kaghi quickly followed when he saw this.
Below, Leizer also noticed Lindsey's movement.
The adventurer had no idea what had happened in the garden. He woke up several of his companions and, worried about Lindsey, instructed the female physician Mila to take care of everyone before he hurried after Lindsey.
...
The forest had already returned to its calm state.
The garden stood quietly, showing no further signs of movement, as if it had always been this way for thousands of years.
After Leizer caught up, the three of them followed the tree trunk upwards, taking a considerable amount of time to reach the entrance of the garden's core.
"This is... Lord Kuete?"
"How could he be lying here, and still unconscious?"
The three of them approached to check.
They immediately noticed the weakened state of the wealthy merchant. Lindsey even confirmed more information through clues:
"The money on his person has been completely drained."
Leizer frowned and said:
"A merchant without money is just a guy who is a bit stronger physically than an ordinary person, right?"
Lindsey reminded him:
"Leizer, don't forget how the incident in the forest started."
"None of this can be swept under the rug now. If an explanation is needed, it's him."
"Hmm—"
Leizer chuckled and shook his head.
Lindsey was right; this guy was indeed the one to blame.
So, he bent down and picked up the unconscious Kuete.
"Muelleran Huen was forcibly extracting the essence earlier. Where is he now?"
There was no sign of the organizer anywhere.
Lindsey looked at Kaghi:
"Kaghi, can you find his scent?"
The Sensor closed his eyes and focused, but there was no one around.
The force of the essence eruption had torn Muelleran Huen to pieces, and the air had been completely cleared of his scent.
"I can't, Lord Diablo. I can't find him."
"..."
"Call me Lindsey."
Lindsey suddenly spoke, correcting Kaghi's address.
The scene before him confirmed that his business in the Forest Courtyard was over. He then said to the Sensor who had followed him all this way:
"The matter here is settled."
"Kaghi, it's time for us to part ways."
"..."
The Sensor was suddenly stunned.
He knew that following this man was just a coincidence, and he even felt some resistance in his heart.
But now, to truly say goodbye...
Reflecting on everything that had happened in this short day, this indescribable adventure...
Kaghi felt no disappointment at losing contact with a significant figure, nor any relief at escaping a dangerous situation. Instead, a vague sense of melancholy arose in his heart.
"Lindsey... sir?"
The Sensor did not follow Lindsey this time.
He watched Lindsey's back as he walked away and called out from a distance:
"Where do you plan to go next?"
"Where do I plan to go...?" Lindsey thought for a moment and replied, "I'm going to find a fruit here, and then... maybe do some fishing?"
