Chapter 809: You Guessed It Right!
Chapter 809: You Guessed It Right!
"Alright, first things first, where am I now?"
Lindsey's face still bore the tension of his previous preparation for battle.
His current expression seemed a mix of exasperation and amusement.
The good news was that he didn't have to face an Eighth Stage Awakened One.
As for the bad news, he had no idea where he was again.
"But at least I've gained something."
"Now I know for sure that seeking help from an Eighth Stage Awakened One is definitely not going to work."
His recent experience had proven everything.
The chaotic and fragmented spacetime could not withstand the massive concept of an Eighth Stage Awakened One. The moment the other party appeared before him was also when Lindsey was thrown away again.
"Hmm... let's broaden our thinking."
"If this power were to reverse its direction and erupt from me, perhaps it could break through this temporal chaos?"
Lindsey expanded his thoughts as he opened the map.
By not being able to find the previously illuminated War Fog on the Strategic Map, he could confirm that he was still within the chaotic spacetime state and remained at an unknown temporal node.
Then, there was another issue.
"..."
"Is this the City of Law or the Dust Path World?"
Analyzing the chaotic system, Lindsey felt he should be at the center of the Dust Path World.
But just now, he had pursued the Feathered Serpent and passed through the City of Law.
Combining these two pieces of information, his current location became highly uncertain.
Lindsey looked around, and nearby, he didn't see the characteristic shattered sky islands of the world, nor did he find the structures of the mountains he had seen in the City of Law.
However, to the east.
A dark cliff cut off the map's exploration, occupying his entire line of sight.
"Is this... the World's End?"
Lindsey had some experience with this kind of situation.
At the border of a world, this state of being unable to explore further on the map often occurred.
"My route has always been from west to east, and if I move in this direction, it should be the Cyclone connecting to the City of Law?"
"Let's go and take a look."
Lindsey needed accurate information.
The structure at the world's intersection could confirm his guess.
As long as he saw the towering Cyclone there, Lindsey would dare to confirm his current location.
On the way, he casually opened the friend system and started harassing the friend he had just added.
Lindsey: [Nolan?]
Lindsey: [Nolan, can you see my message?]
Lindsey: [... Are you there?]
Three messages were sent consecutively.
In the friend channel, the Law Manipulator's avatar remained gray, with no replies or any signs of activity.
A few minutes ago, after Lindsey sent the invitation, Nolan had already tested this ability.
He wouldn't have any confusion about sending messages.
"Tsk—"
"It seems it's still not working."
"Perhaps the temporal node I'm in right now is earlier than when Nolan appeared. Sending a message to someone not yet born naturally wouldn't..."
Lindsey could find a reason for this situation.
But at the same time, another, very unpleasant guess emerged in his mind.
Sending a message to a living friend.
As long as the other party was willing, they could naturally reply.
But what if they were dead?
"..."
Lindsey furrowed his brows; although he had only known Nolan for a day, he was indeed trustworthy.
Lindsey: [Arona, how are you doing now?]
Arona: 【Lindsey, I've been thrown to another place! The world before me is in full bloom, so beautiful, but I'm not quite sure where I am right now...】
Lindsey: 【Be cautious in unfamiliar surroundings, there might be dangers around.】
Arona: 【The sound of the wind tells me that this place is relatively safe.】
Lindsey: 【That's good to hear—by the way, regarding the legends of the City of Law, do you know about the creator of the Law Paladin profession, Nolan? What's his situation like in the future?】
Arona: 【I don't know. The stories I've learned and recorded are mostly related to the Righteous Ones. Unless there's a change in the monarchy or a significant historical event, there's usually no record of Law Paladins.】
Lindsey: 【I see. Any thoughts on how to get out of this temporal anomaly?】
Arona: 【I'm not sure. But since this temporal anomaly was triggered by the power of that strange artifact's collapse, perhaps we can wait for its power to dissipate, and we might be able to return.】
Lindsey: 【That makes sense, but who knows how long we'll have to wait.】
Lindsey ended the communication with Arona.
The Follower girl's thoughts were indeed correct, but if the temporal anomaly caused a time dilation phenomenon, creating a situation where a day in the sky equals a year underground, then they would be in trouble as well.
"Stay positive!"
"If it's too difficult to handle, let's just treat this place as Ten Mile Ridge."
Lindsey continued to move towards the dark abyss on the map.
The edge of the world was not far, he sped up, and soon arrived at the world boundary, beyond which was an endless void.
"..."
Lindsey gazed into the distance.
The dark sky seemed to be falling downward, as if signaling the end of a world.
"There's no response from any world connection nearby."
"Based on previous experiences, this terrain usually appears in the west, so if I head north from here, I should be able to find the corresponding location."
Lindsey took immediate action.
The edge of the world was desolate, and being alone here, with an endless dark void beneath one's feet, gave an inescapable sense of impending doom.
Even with a steady stride, one couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis as if they were about to fall.
Lindsey stared into the deep darkness and, at the same time, sent a message to Alice.
Lindsey: 【Alice, how are you doing now?】
Alice: 【Me? I've been thrown into a very ancient era. There's no City of Law, nor any major city or large school with a name. Only some ancient names that even in mythical legends, I've never heard of. The situation is relatively good.
Lindsey: 【You've been thrown pretty far, at least I can still communicate with historical figures.】
Alice: 【Hehe... You don't sound like you're here to brag?】
Lindsey: 【That's right, I want to ask about a friend.】
Alice: 【A friend? Asking me?... I understand, it's a friend from your past. Is he related to the City of Law?】
Lindsey: 【Your guess is spot-on.】
Alice: 【If it's not related to the City of Law, why would you ask me, a Righteous One?】
Lindsey: 【It's Nolan, the creator of the Law Paladins. I want to know what became of him in the end.】
Alice: 【The creator of the Law Paladins... Sorry, I haven't seen any records of him dying on the battlefield, nor is he buried in the Mausoleum of the Ancients. According to the official records of the City of Law, he's considered missing.】
