Chapter 434: The Fate Script
Chapter 434: The Fate Script
[The Rewritten Fate Script]
[Behind the curtains, a dirge resounds, and fate is unpredictable.
The protagonist's life trajectory has been rewritten, find the author behind the scenes, and tear up her script!]
[Mission Rewards: Puzzle Game Module upgrade, Singular Substance, Destiny Pebble, Enormous Attribute/Skill Experience Points]
"..."
Although the deeper reasons for the mission were unclear, Lindsey was certain that an invisible hand had intervened between Anthony and his lover, disrupting their original destiny.
Judging by the mission's description alone, Lindsey had only received rewards of this caliber during dragon-slaying endeavors.
Perhaps it was driven by self-interest, curiosity, or a natural aversion to this kind of fate manipulation.
In any case, Lindsey had no intention of giving up on this mission.
"Country bumpkin, don't get carried away just because you happened to save a noble. You're not some special person!"
At this moment, Savat, in his azure robe, began to scold loudly.
In his eyes, Lindsey's offer to help was an outright insult!
"We can handle this matter ourselves."
"As long as you behave..."
Lindsey abruptly interrupted Savat:
"If you really had a clue, you wouldn't have come to me."
Lindsey activated the Puzzle Game module, focusing his gaze on the man before him.
[Calluses on his hands - the shape and position are unique, indicating long hours of holding a paintbrush.]
"Mr. Savat, you should be studying the art of painting."
[Disheveled hair, a faint smell of alcohol, uncleaned corners of the mouth - he was in a hurry, not even bothering to dress up, and had been drinking the night before.]
"You were drinking last night."
Following the skill's guidance, Lindsey traced the man's movements and also came up with a lead based on this information.
Miss Kuwait had gone missing the previous night.
By the time this news spread and Savat arrived, the compressed timeline indicated that the man had not rested.
Lindsey continued, "While you were drinking, you were pulled away and assigned this task, keeping you busy until now."
[The azure robe was too large - it fit well on other Art Association members but not on Savat. There were severe wear marks on the collar, indicating it wasn't his clothing.]
"The clothes you're wearing aren't yours either."
"You must have been called away while drinking last night, so you didn't even have time to get your work clothes from home."
Savat's sloppy appearance, hurried demeanor, and embarrassment after being reminded by Lu Ying.
Lindsey guessed another reality:
"I must remind you, Mr. Savat, you are too hasty." Lindsey continued, "Before coming here, you probably haven't met any other Art Association leaders except for the one who gave you the mission. Being too impatient won't get the job done."
"..."
Savat was speechless.
The Crimson Robe, Lu Ying, was left dumbfounded by the entire conversation. But when he saw Savat's expression, he too realized that everything Lindsey said was true!
This...
Lu Ying also found it hard to believe. But remembering the purpose of his visit, he was glad to see it resolved and chimed in with a smile: "Of course, rescuing an entire ship's crew from the hands of Fallen Artists is no simple feat."
"Savat, our duty is to maintain law and order in Thousand Sails City, and with the Art Festival approaching, these matters should be handled with care."
Savat, dressed in an Azure Robe, fell silent, torn between his duty as an enforcer and his pride as an Awakener.
He stood in place, deep in thought for over a minute.
In the end, he sighed, choosing his duty over his pride: "Alright, Lindsey... Mr. Lindsey, let's go together."
"But on the way, please, tell me everything that happened yesterday."
Savat stammered, his words broken and fragmented, like a rope torn into pieces.
It took considerable effort for him to finally say the word 'please'.
His conflicting attitude was on full display, a common trait among humans.
Lindsey nodded: "Let's walk and talk, I'll tell you everything that happened yesterday."
As the situation unfolded, Vala Vala could no longer contain her excitement.
She rushed from behind and wrapped herself around Lindsey's neck and back, their bodies pressed intimately together.
"Oh! Lindsey, what's going on?" Vala Vala's voice was filled with anticipation.
"How did you figure it out?"
"That call was like a scene from a detective novel, revealing someone's secrets!"
Lindsey shook his head: "I didn't do it alone, I used my Artistic abilities."
"But aren't those your own skills?" Vala Vala asked.
Lindsey's eyes widened: "Oh, is that so?"
"..."
As they spoke, Lu Ying, in his Crimson Robe, led the group away from the cafeteria.
They had just received the news and hurried to stop them.
However, the Art Association hadn't even prepared rewards for Lindsey and his group, and they had work to do back at the association.
As for Savat, he changed his previous attitude and escorted Lindsey and Vala Vala out of the estate.
The group headed southeast, toward the border between the Purple and Blue Zones.
It was evident that even these enforcers in Azure Robes didn't instill fear in the common folk on the streets.
Their destination was an estate at the border of the Purple and Blue Zones.
Lindsey and Vala Vala trailed behind the group, and on the way, Lindsey suddenly remembered something and asked quietly: "By the way, Vala Vala."
"Why didn't they cause trouble for Anthony?"
"If this matter is so important, why didn't they directly enter the Kuwait Family's estate?"
Vala Vala smiled bitterly and replied: "That's the way of Thousand Sails City. When it involves Awakened matters, they try to handle issues within the Awakened community."
