Chapter 103
"I think for the sake of people's future, we definitely can't stay in the hidden frontier."

"But the fact now is that we are unable to solve the crisis caused by the dragon beast. After all, the strength gap between the two sides is too huge."

Lindsay spoke frankly about what was on her mind.

He didn't think there was any need to hide this. He openly announced it to Yrel and directly told the awakened people in the town what he thought. This was a very direct method that could produce immediate results.

Hearing Lindsay's candid response, Yirel nodded in approval.

But then he mentioned a problem that Lindsay had thought about before but did not realize its seriousness:

"Everyone understands this."

"But Lindsay, unlike you who have only been in the town for three years, many people have been here in the hidden frontier for 13 years!"

"When many of them came here, they didn't intend to stay here for the rest of their lives. In other words, these people have been imprisoned here for almost 13 years. They have no patience!"

"..."

13 years is not a short time for anyone.

Lindsay reflects on herself.

He was marked by the Knights of the Law and was in a hidden frontier, which could be said to be an ideal situation to avoid pursuit.

But the awakened people or civilians in the town may only live here for a short time when they first come to the hidden frontier. Some may even be trapped here by sudden problems like Huntress Dan.

They all have their own lives.

Instead of preparing to bury his bones in a place like this outpost.

Coupled with the ever-present threats in the world of Montenegro.

Life in these years is almost equivalent to suffering in prison for many people!

Realizing this, Lindsay understood the thoughts of the people in the town better and fell silent.

Yrel across the table continued:

"So, Lindsay, do you still support staying in the town?"

Lindsay controlled her mood before answering:
"We will definitely stay in the town for the time being, but that doesn't mean it won't change. At the same time, we have to find ways to solve the crisis or deal with the dragon beast."

Yrel asked almost as if he was asking:
"Where can I find the solution you mentioned?"

Lindsay replied firmly:
"In action, of course."

Hearing Lindsay's answer, Yirel's eyes narrowed, and he asked in a subtle voice that was completely different from his usual rich voice:

"Then what action are you talking about? Challenge a seven-stage dragon beast with those people?"

Lindsay responded:

"The records left by the scholars in the town, and the possible help from the hidden frontier."

There is no need to mention the former. It is natural to look for potentially useful information from the records.

The latter is what today's open-pit mines and the trip to Montenegro inspired Lindsay.

Although Hidden Frontier is not a complete large world.

But after all, it has a considerable area.

It was the policy of the camp in the past as an outpost and to receive expeditionary parties.

The level of development here is quite low, and the scope of human activities almost surrounds border towns.

Lindsay feels that if we examine the world carefully.

Maybe you can also find some unexpected gains.

For example, when he was climbing under the Tongtian Vine, didn't he find a hidden map and obtain a secret treasure like [Purple Leaf Vine Branches]?
After listening to Lindsay's thoughts.

Yirel did not support it very much. He shook his head and said in denial:
"What you said is just in vain in the end. How can a seventh-stage dragon beast be so easy to deal with?"

Lindsay's tone was unyielding:
"That's better than resisting by doing nothing, or going directly to the dragon beast to seek death!"

Yrel shook his head, said nothing, and picked up the water glass to see off the guests.

Lindsay didn't say much.

After saying goodbye to each other, they left the cabin.

After he took the initiative to close the door of the craftsman's cabin and walked more than ten meters away.

In the front hall where the two people were just talking, there was an undetectable sigh of sadness.

……

Lindsay returned to the south of the town before dusk.

He was still thinking about the conversation with Yrel in his mind.

According to the information that Lindsay knew, the old craftsman supported staying in the town, and the other party's attitude towards the dragon beast also proved this.But even so, when Lindsay said he wanted to find a way.

Yrel expressed his encouragement directly...

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Lindsay paused.

He was ready to go back to his work for the day.

But just before arriving at the cabin, he passed by the hunter's house and saw Somkin's figure walking out of it.

The other party also saw Lindsay.

A polite and formulaic smile immediately appeared on the businessman's face:
"Lindsay, are you back?"

"I was going to look for you this afternoon, but I couldn't find you in the house. When I came here to ask, even Ju said he didn't know where you were."

It turned out that I was looking for myself.

Lindsay's eyes instantly became clear.

This is different from the awakened ones like Yrel who are ready to guard the town.

The businessman in front of him can be regarded as a very important representative figure among the radicals who broke through Montenegro.

At this moment, the other party came specifically to find Lindsay, and he had no other purpose.

"I went to the mine." Lindsay understood everything in her heart, but she still remained polite on the surface, "Mr. Somkin, what brought you to see me?"

Somkin said cheerfully:
"I just had a chat with Ju, and he said that you also want to leave the hidden border and try to break through the obstacles of Black Mountain."

Lindsay refused unceremoniously:

"Even if you have to do this kind of thing, you will only do it if you have a certain degree of confidence."

Upon hearing this answer, the smile on Somkin's face instantly faded.

"Do you know how long this town can last if this continues?"

Lindsay naturally replied:

"At least six years and at most ten years. This is also the time it takes for the dragon beast to advance."

Somkin continued to ask, and his tone became aggressive:

"You think this time is plenty?"

"In other words, in the longest ten years, our town can cultivate a strong man who can defeat the seventh-order dragon beast!"

"Or can we leave our lives to luck and bet that the outside world can send people to kill the dragon beast and save us within these ten years?"

Lindsay still sticks to her point of view:
"I'm in favor of taking action, but it's not the same thing as pure suicide."

Somkin's eyes became depressed:

"But some people can't wait any longer! Not to mention the threat of death is right in front of them!"

Lindsay replied in a serious tone:

"Thousands of people have different faces. When facing the same problem, everyone will have different choices."

"Thousands of people have thousands of faces? That's a good saying." Somkin first praised Lindsay's statement, and then he continued to ask, "Then what do you think the people in the town should do now?"

Lindsay gave the exact same answer as when she answered Yirel before:

“It’s not time to despair yet, so we can continue to look for solutions.”

"..."

At this point, the two fell into silence at the same time.

They looked at each other, and finally Somkin spoke first.

The businessman sounded like he was coming to a conclusion.

"You may think that my method is too radical, even forcing most people to die together." The businessman lowered his eyes and shook his head, "But the fact is that even if we do nothing, people will still die by then. .”

Lindsay still had no intention of letting go:
"There is an old saying in our school of death - no one can beat death in a race."

"We haven't made a final decision yet."

"..."

That's what the two of them said.

This shrewd businessman already knew that persuading Lindsay would have no results.

He didn't say anything after that, and the old figure turned around and walked towards the town without another glance at Lindsay behind him.
