Chapter 464: Who is the Protagonist?
Chapter 464: Who is the Protagonist?
"Dear, I usually sing by the side of Sunny Street in the Purple District, and sometimes I go to Fenrir or model in the Orange District."
"You can come and find me anytime~~"
Leaving such a farewell, the mermaid dove into the water and soon disappeared from sight.
At this moment, the sky in the city was just right.
Lindsey looked at the shimmering water surface and then glanced up at the sun, unable to resist stretching his hand in front of his eyes:
"Red eyes, white hair, frail figure, sitting in a wheelchair, and very beautiful!"
"If it weren't for the Fallen Artist."
"Such attributes, how much do they conform to the XP of the Celestial Empire?"
Lindsey muttered about the Fallen Artist's appearance while walking west.
He lived in the Orange District, adjacent to the west side of the Yellow District, where Wah Wah lived. It's a journey of more than ten kilometers, and it's just a walk away.
But on the way, more information emerged one by one in his mind.
Lindsey began to think and analyze.
The mermaid mentioned this Fallen Writer, who should have seen Anthony and Lina on Mermaid Island, so he followed them all the way to Thousand Sails City, continuing to manipulate their fate.
"But is it really that simple?"
Lindsey questioned aloud, and his footsteps home suddenly stopped.
The next second, he turned and walked west.
Over there was the direction of the Blue District.
It was also the residence of the White Star family and art critic Kuwait.
Lindsey wanted to verify it in person.
If this Fallen Writer's true target is Anthony and Lina.
Then, after a few days.
Anthony, an ordinary person living in the Awakener's home, is bound to cause some conflicts.
"Since it is so."
"Let me come and confirm it in person."
"..."
At noon, Lindsey arrived in the Blue District under the scorching sun.
The last time he was here was a week ago, guided by Wah Wah, who led him to the Kuwait family's residence.
Now he knew the way.
In less than half an hour, he quickly found the residence with the White Star marker.
Lindsey didn't even need to go inside.
He opened the map, and most of the people in the Kuwait family's residence were strangers to him, so the markers on the map were also neutral yellow.
But in a room on the second floor, Lindsey found two green markers in the same room.
He stood there and observed for a moment, and everything seemed normal.
"It should be Anthony and Lina, no mistake."
Lindsey circled the residence, adjusting his position.
At the same time, he held his breath and concentrated, putting on all the equipment to enhance his perception. The sounds became clearer and clearer.
"Lina, are we rushing into the wedding so soon? Isn't it a bit hasty?"
"Just a week ago, your father was like that..."
"..."
"Father thinks you can find help to save me, and he's a reliable person."
"Even though you're not an Awakener, he also understands that you're not just seeking favor by associating with me, but you truly love me."
"As a seven-stage Awakener, sometimes being an Awakener isn't that important."
"..."
"Our wedding must invite Lindsey!"
"Yes, we really have to thank him!"
"If he hadn't saved me in times of danger and given me encouragement, how could we have made it to this day?"
"..."
Lindsey arrived with a heavy heart.
But after listening to this conversation, he sincerely felt happy for the two young lovers who finally found each other.
It was only after he left the mansion and returned to the Orange District.
Lindsey's expression grew even more serious.
"During this time, that Fallen Artist hasn't made a move against them."
"Is it because of the Kuwait family? No, that's impossible! If she really cared about such matters, she wouldn't have dragged Lina into danger in the first place."
"But..."
"Their fates were indeed threatened."
"Not the real target, but their fates were altered—this can only mean that they were involved in something, which is why they were attacked."
Lindsey carefully recalled the journey on the fishing boat:
"Who could be considered the main character on the fishing boat from Katol Island to Thousand Sails City?"
"..."
The generous rewards from the mission, the sudden [Plot Performance] in the deep sea, and the frequent encounters after entering Thousand Sails City.
Lindsey glanced at the drifting seawater beside him.
Although the light was a bit distorted, the reflection clearly showed his own shadow.
"So, it turns out I was the one being targeted?"
"Ha—"
Thinking about this, Lindsey felt both angry and amused.
He had faced many enemies, some of whom were quite powerful.
But apart from the sense of danger from being targeted by a Seventh Stage Awakener, what he found most incomprehensible was the reason why he was targeted.
Since entering the Seven Seas Alliance world,
he had hardly done anything out of line, only acting out of necessity to escape danger on the Mermaid Island.
Lindsey hadn't taken any dangerous actions against that Fallen Artist.
There were no conflicts of interest between them.
"Why would she target me?"
"Surely not for some random artistic creation, right?"
"..."
Lindsey was truly puzzled by this unprovoked hostility.
So, he began to think along the lines of his past experiences, checking his inventory and skills, and considering how to deal with a Seventh Stage Awakener.
Especially one with the ability to manipulate fate, a power that was practically cheating!
"Lindsey, good noon."
"The weather today is so hot that even the stone statues feel dizzy!"
"Mrs. Kangyuer next door just opened a cold drink shop. According to human rumors, the taste is good and it can help cool down. I recommend you try it!"
After noon, Lindsey returned to the Orange Zone.
The stone statues were as friendly as ever, greeting him the moment they saw him and even recommending a drink shop.
In fact, the rapid development of Lindsey's shop was partly due to the publicity from these stone statues.
"Thanks for the recommendation, I'll give it a try!"
After exchanging greetings with the stone statues, Lindsey headed home.
"These sculptures created by artists are better than..."
Lindsey was just mumbling to himself.
But halfway through his words, his voice trailed off, and his eyes lit up with excitement:
"Right! Artists!"
"This isn't some lawless area. Why should I force myself to solve the crisis like I used to?"
Lindsey's sense of danger immediately diminished.
This is Thousand Sails City!
One of the few main cities in the entire universe, governed by Awakeners of unimaginable power!
Once his mind was opened,
Lindsey had an idea:
"Thousand Sails City explicitly prohibits such behavior."
"So, as long as I can find the clues she left behind and report them to the Art Association, a genuine Eighth Stage Awakener will handle the matter!"
"The current problem is how to find the clues and evidence she left behind..."
