Chapter 728: The Secret of Silver City
Chapter 728: The Secret of Silver City
Lindsey hadn't slept a wink all night.
It wasn't just the sweet cookie that had stuck in his throat. He also had considerable reservations about the Silver Witch's Essence Technique.
Just as a Merchant's technique was money, and when their funds ran dry, they'd find themselves in a bind.
An Organizer's ability stemmed from the humans they ruled.
If they lost their followers or a significant portion of their territory, they'd be vulnerable to defeat by other Awakened, plummeting from the mountain peak to the valley.
But as long as they had followers...
This type of Awakened could continuously unleash formidable power, especially since Leaf Haiya was a Seventh Stage Awakener.
At this very moment, Lindsey found himself within the Silver Witch's city.
If she were to use her Organizer ability on herself...
If she had even a bit of mind-reading or behavior analysis ability, Lindsey's disguise would likely be instantly torn to shreds!
So, why hadn't Haiya done so?
Lindsey didn't doubt her strength.
Was this special treatment due to her caution with rare talents, not wanting to limit her future development through technique rule? Or did she not want Lindsey to be forced into submission and instead hoped he'd join her willingly? No matter how he thought about it...
It couldn't be because he'd called her 'sister', could it?
Lindsey pondered as he opened the Strategic Map, scanning the castle interior.
In addition to the secret room storing supplies he'd found earlier, he gradually discovered more hidden rooms over the next half-day.
There were quite a few of these secret locations, and some were even hidden underground beneath the floor.
Lindsey analyzed their structures using his architectural knowledge.
He even found a place that might have been a secret chamber privately built by a Craftsman; he wondered what such behavior would be considered by an Organizer.
"A spaceship would definitely not be small in size."
"And if crafted by a Craftsman, it would possess the wondrous ability to fly, which inevitably involves the presence of Essence."
"The search process can be narrowed down to two directions."
"First, there must be sufficient space, and second, there must be an Essence presence. Both are indispensable..."
The morning light shone through the castle windows into the room.
Under Lily's care, Lindsey got up, dressed, and had a 'terrifying' breakfast.
He sat in the room, pondering his next move.
But within just a few minutes, his expression instantly reverted to childlike innocence.
Because, in less than a moment, rapid footsteps approached from the adjacent room. Then, Leaf Haiya pushed open Lindsey's door and swept into the room with a gust of wind beneath her feet.
"Lindsey, are you awake?"
Haiya walked up to him, sat directly on the edge of his bed, and pulled him into her embrace.
Lindsey looked up at her.
Haiya's gaze was still gentle and filled with anticipation as she looked at him.
He could only nod and reply, "Sister, I'm awake."
Haiya immediately asked, "What about the Awakened path we discussed yesterday? Have you thought it over?"
Lindsey naturally opened his mouth to speak.
"I think the Righteous One..."
Before Lindsey could finish, Haiya suddenly interrupted, "You can rest assured. I have the cultivation methods for several of the strongest Awakened paths. But to reselect your technique, the first step is to abolish your old one."
"..."
"!!!"
Lindsey immediately changed his words, "Sister, this... isn't this too sudden? I still want to know more details about the Awakened!"
Haiya merely treated this as a child's fear.
Ye Hai Ya reached out and patted Lin Sai's head, deciding not to rush him any further. "Of course, there's no need to rush into this. It's important and right to have a glimpse into the future of your abilities. Since you're interested in the Righteous One, I'll tell you about them."
And so, Ye Hai Ya proceeded to educate Lin Sai about the capabilities of the Righteous One.
Lin Sai was already familiar with these details from Alice, so there was no need to elaborate further.
As the conversation neared its end, Lin Sai's thoughts returned to the true purpose of his visit—the spaceship.
If he had to find an answer, who could know more about this city, this castle, and her wealth than Ye Hai Ya herself?
Lin Sai steered the conversation in that direction, "Sister, I heard that the neighboring world is called the City of Law?"
Ye Hai Ya continued her explanation, "Indeed, there are true powerhouses there, a place beyond the reach of people like us."
Lin Sai persisted, "What if I want to go there?"
Ye Hai Ya smiled and ruffled Lin Sai's hair, "Silly child, you're thinking too much."
"The floating islands in the east have been largely destroyed, and it would take thousands of years for them to repair themselves. If you want to go there now, you'd need wings to fly."
Lin Sai lowered his head, feigning a troubled expression.
Noticing this, Ye Hai Ya offered comfort, "Of course, there's a way around this."
"As long as you become a true powerhouse like me, crossing the sky is not an issue."
"..."
Lin Sai desperately wanted to ask directly if she had a spaceship, but he didn't want to ruin his persona, so he continued with the topic, "Is your ability an Organizer?"
Ye Hai Ya nodded, "My ability is an Organizer, a very special one."
"The strength of this ability depends on how many people you control. Advancement and development stem from this. For an existence like me to progress to the next stage, I must first completely rule over a thriving world, but even that doesn't guarantee success. The path of the Awakened becomes more challenging as you progress."
Here, Ye Hai Ya couldn't help but reflect on her current situation, "During times of war, unifying forces, conquering the world, and establishing your own nation is a relatively suitable path for me, offering the most hope."
The Silver Witch whispered, "The 8th Stage."
"Yes, the 8th Stage."
This reflection stirred Ye Hai Ya's memories.
If she were facing an adult or a stranger, the Silver Witch would never reveal her secrets. But the child beside her, calling her 'sister,' made it easier to open up.
"Lin Sai, before I became an Awakened, I was just a Commoner."
"My Lord, who trained me, possessed immense power and committed unforgivable acts. My parents, my hometown, my country... To avenge them, I must succeed."
"..."
Lin Sai's expression froze.
Sometimes, things were just that simple.
Through her disguise, the Silver Witch revealed her secret.
Lin Sai checked his Attribute Panel.
As expected, the mission, 'Silver City's Secret,' was marked as completed.
