Chapter 904: The Enemy
Chapter 904: The Enemy
Lindsey almost thought he had misread the information from a stranger's mouth... the name of his own enemy?
But the Goodwill skill's introduction was indeed accurate.
Especially with Prizzum's goodwill towards him, after their recent conversation, it has now risen!
【Prizzum - 55/100】
In other words.
The seven-stage believer who was just on guard against him, has now completely returned to neutrality, and even shows a slightly friendly attitude?
Lindsey was tense, and tentatively asked:
"It... is it your enemy?"
Prizzum (30/100):
"How did you find out about it?"
Lindsey immediately replied:
"Because it's also my enemy, and to deal with this guy, I've been working so hard to find out about him, and then came to you believers!"
Prizzum (60/100):
"You also know that it's an extremely evil existence, and you want to find its source."
Lindsey nodded and sighed:
"Actually, I've already dealt with them, and I've even taken out some of their very important members."
Prizzum (65/100):
"You should've told me earlier, it was all a misunderstanding!"
The seventh-stage believer enthusiastically approached, even taking Lindsey's hands in his.
If not for the goodwill and the map's marker turning from red to green, proving this man's change.
Lindsey couldn't be sure at this moment, whether he should immediately strike him down!
Prizzum (65/100) continued:
"Mr. Robinson, right?"
"I heard from Lizzy that you have some problems caused by the Law Guardians."
"Come, please take a seat, and I'll help you see if it can be resolved."
Lindsey:
"Uh, okay."
"..."
At this moment, everything about Lindsey, in Prizzum's eyes, seemed so reasonable. The goodwill has stabilized, leaning towards a friendly relationship.
But in the dark room, the tension instantly transformed into this current situation.
Lizzy, with her arms still open behind them, was left standing in a daze.
The believer girl was completely lost. She couldn't understand the relationship between Lindsey and Prizzum, and why it had become like this?
Prizzum noticed this and prepared to send her away:
"Lizzy, I want to have a good chat with this Mr. Robinson. You should go back first. I can assure you that right now, I won't do anything to him..."
Lizzy stubbornly shook her head in refusal:
"No, I must stay here!"
"Whether it's to protect Robinson's safety or to understand the truth behind all this, I need to stand here and listen to your conversation."
Prizzum, seeing that persuasion wasn't working, allowed it. After all, he and Lizzy were not in a superior-subordinate relationship, but believers who banded together in a crisis, a survival strategy in the current universe where believers are not in a friendly situation.
Especially because of Lizzy's kindness.
She was the most popular awakened believer in the Dark Alley.
Prizzum didn't have an absolute position to interfere, just like how he didn't directly take action earlier.
Immediately, Prizzum pulled Lindsey to sit with him.
Although his eyes remained closed, he held Lindsey's hands and asked:
"Regarding the One God, how much do you know?"
Lindsey explained:
"I discovered them in the neighboring world and followed their trail to reach the City of Law."
"I found it right in front of you."
Prizzum sighed.
"I know it's in this world, but after spending so much time, we're still no match for them, and we haven't found any decisive evidence."
Not a match for them? Lindsey noticed two crucial pieces of information.
If Prizzum was opposing them, the distance couldn't be too far.
And this man, currently in the capital of the City of Law, had been leading these pitiful refugees for a while now.
Lindsey had a bad feeling:
"Prizzum, why did you launch an assault on Yana Fien tonight?"
Prizzum smiled bitterly, "I suspect the followers of the Malevolent Deity are using their skills to infiltrate the upper echelons of the City of Law, but I can't find any leads. I only sense their shadow growing."
"And today, the Princess's return might be an incident they planned, so I must try to stop it!"
"..."
Lindsey fell silent for a few seconds, choosing to reveal the truth:
"Then you've misunderstood."
"Yana Fien was actually brought back by me. While adventuring, I found her in a mountain bandit's prison and then escorted her back to the City of Law."
Prizzum frowned, "But my Revelation tells me those guys are indeed brewing a storm in the City of Law, plotting their schemes, and it's been getting worse lately... Wait, I found it! There is a Sinner Mark in your body!"
The seventh-stage Prizzum successfully located the mark within Lindsey's body.
Lindsey asked, "So, can you remove it?"
Prizzum nodded, "I can slowly wash it away with my faith power, but it will take a lot of time, probably around a month, and you must stay close to me."
"Considering the influence of the Sinner Mark, during this time, you can't be directly discovered by any Law Guardians. The consequences of the latter—you as the host of this mark, I don't need to explain."
Bang! At that moment, the door to the dimly lit room was suddenly opened from the outside, and a man with a painting board under his arm walked in quickly.
"Mr. Prizzum, I heard you were here..."
"Huh???"
Lindsey suddenly stood up in front of Prizzum.
He was shocked because he recognized the man who had just walked in.
It was Alarson.
The one-armed painter with whom Lindsey had met in the Seven Seas Alliance and then entered the Hallucinatory Dream, sharing life and death!
"Alarson!"
Lindsey even broke free of Prizzum's grasp.
The next second, he stood up from his seat and walked towards Alarson.
"Um..."
"Who are you?"
Alarson was puzzled because he didn't recognize Lindsey, whose appearance had changed.
"It's me! I'm... I'm Robinson!"
Lindsey almost got his name wrong.
He then winked at the painter and took out the clothes he had kept in his bag:
"We haven't seen each other for many years, you might have forgotten.
"The last time we parted, you painted two pictures on my clothes as a gift, and I still have them with me!"
