Chapter 751: Subhumans and Humans
Chapter 751: Subhumans and Humans
"This city here is indeed just a temporary residence... or perhaps not even a livable place."
"But the people who lived here in the past left behind abundant resources. Even now, without its residential function, everyone can still view this place as a source for obtaining supplies, which is why there's a gathering in the city."
"The Inner Ring World is filled with numerous floating islands."
"The spatial anomaly phenomenon has only been going on for a few months. When people teleport, there's still a small chance they'll stumble upon cities that haven't been reached by others. These are incredibly important opportunities..."
Lindsey defeated the Humanoid Awakeners.
With his final captive in hand, he turned back towards the forest.
Without the control of the Beastmaster's Essence Skill, the besieging monsters scattered like birds and beasts, and the crisis on the battlefield was instantly alleviated.
Arona, who had been guarding a corner of the floating island, heard the commotion and hurried over.
At the same time, she began explaining the specific reasons for the various situations on the floating island.
"..."
Lindsey and Arona approached the town.
The city gate before them was tightly shut, with several guards standing above, their complex gazes fixed on the two below.
These guards were generally young, but their expressions were solemn.
Even after being saved by Lindsey from the monster siege, they maintained a vigilant posture.
Lindsey looked up at the situation on the city wall and then whispered to Arona beside him, "Do people here treat their saviors like this?"
The blind girl shook her head and then nodded, "Before, everyone helped each other and survived through hardships."
"But after the spatial rules fell into chaos, also for survival, people can only maintain this vigilant posture."
Lindsey nodded slightly, pondering how to negotiate with these people.
Or...
Just ignore these guys and leave.
After all, his goal had nothing to do with these people, right? But before Lindsey could make a decision, someone on the city wall suddenly recognized Arona behind him.
The next second, an excited voice rang out from the wall, "Hey, look!"
"Below is Arona, it's Lady Arona!"
The astonished cries echoed along the wall.
Hearing this commotion, Lindsey was certain that these people knew Arona and held her, the believer girl, in high regard.
But he wasn't sure what would happen next, so he opened his map again.
"..."
Lindsey's eyebrows rose; it was good news.
The yellow marks on the city wall, symbolizing neutrality, turned green directly.
Even as the news spread, many within the city began to change their attitudes, and amidst the sea of yellow and green, red was almost nowhere to be seen.
Lindsey turned to look behind him, "Arona, your identity is quite special?"
The blind girl nodded slightly, "Before the spatial laws fell into chaos, I was in charge of baptizing believers into the faith, so many people know me."
Baptism of faith, believers.
"Heh—"
Lindsey chuckled.
These two phrases needed no further explanation to reveal Arona's status in their hearts.
The subsequent situation also confirmed Lindsey's guess.
After recognizing Arona, the guards on the wall didn't even engage in excessive conversation. Several of them rushed down, turned the handle, and opened the locked city gate.
Lindsey and Arona were almost cheered into the city.
"Lady Arona, why are you here?"
"I heard from others during my previous teleports that you were working with Canon Conrad. Where are they now?"
"We've found plenty of food in this city, let's eat together!"
"..."
The humans in the town were incredibly hospitable.
They led the way to the center of the town.
But as Arona revealed that her companions had all perished, leaving her alone, the once lively atmosphere instantly cooled.
Guided by hatred, everyone's gaze fell upon the humanoid in Lindsey's hand.
In the silent air, the flames of vengeance burned.
"Ahhhh!"
At that moment, the humanoid in Lindsey's hand happened to wake up.
It began to struggle fiercely, so Lindsey threw it to the ground and pinned it down.
"Humans!"
"My people will avenge me! You greedy, despicable bandits!"
Lindsey had yet to make a statement.
But the humanoid's roar incited anger in the other humans.
An Awakened one standing next to Arona stepped forward and began to curse at the humanoid on the ground:
"Nonsense!"
"It was you who tore up the contract and harmed us first. Otherwise, how could we have gone to war with you?"
"You beasts, controlled by your greedy instincts, are a disgrace!"
"..."
The human standing before them and the humanoid on the ground were engaged in a heated verbal battle.
Through this unique 'communication method', Lindsey learned the full story.
After the war broke out in the City of Law, the Dust Path World, as its satellite world, was divided into three regions: the Inner Ring, Middle Ring, and Outer Ring. The Outer Ring World was barren, with few resources to attract people. The Middle Ring World was plagued by warlords and constant conflicts.
The last remaining region, the Core World, was home to true powerhouses and terrifying high-order monsters.
Their existence was the primary cause of this spatial anomaly.
Normally, under the protection of these powerhouses, ordinary humans and humanoids lived here, including the believers and humanoids present.
For the past few decades, the absolute powerhouses above had kept them in check.
These weaker beings had united, surviving in the cracks, building small settlements to sustain themselves.
But when the spatial laws changed, their unity began to falter. Unable to settle down, resource collection became an issue.
Some uncontrollable humanoids sparked the initial conflict.
The subsequent internal war quickly divided the two races, and hatred fermented rapidly over a few months, leading to the current situation.
"Sigh, war..."
Lindsey took two steps back.
Arona, hearing Lindsey's footsteps, immediately turned her head.
But as the highest-ranking believer in the town, the blind girl could not follow Lindsey out of the crowd. She could only project her ethereal gaze towards him.
Lindsey witnessed everything, unmoved.
He stepped away from the crowd, opening the friend channel and sending a message to his true companion.
Lindsey: [Alice, there's a significant conflict between the humans and humanoids in the Inner Ring World. Due to resource disputes, there have been killings and a chain of hatred. This matter is hard to settle.]
Lindsey waited a few seconds before receiving a reply.
Alice: [That's right! I can't tolerate this senseless slaughter and abuse. So, Lindsey, I'm leading the humanoid tribes to revolt against these heartless human villains!]
Lindsey: [I... Huh?]
