Chapter 365 What I heard under the rain
pat- pat-

Lindsay stepped forward through the shallow water.

Although the heavy rain in the forest has slowed down, the water on the streets will not be cleared immediately. There are gaps in the stone streets, and water splashes with every step you take.

People were walking in a hurry on the street, and many people were still whispering to each other.

The further north you go, the more common this scene becomes.

Some people even looked nervous.

The adventurers in the hotel use what happened in the north of the town as conversation topics, so they can talk and laugh. But those who really regard this as a serious incident and come to investigate are not so relaxed.

Lindsay continued heading north of town.

Through some low houses on the road, he looked towards the mountains on both sides and saw the peaks on both sides that surrounded the entire town.

The town of Echo Valley is located in Echo Valley, built along both sides of the river.

Only a few explorers who have come here claim to have reached the very bottom of Echo Cave.

At this moment, the rain has weakened and the sound has become smaller. It is quite interesting to experience it carefully.

It is easy to become completely lost and never see the light of day again until death.

"This place is said to be a naturally formed tourist attraction."

Lindsay doesn't really want to expose her exaggerated physical attributes.

The roads in the town often ran close to the river. Whenever she saw the surging river, Lindsay couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.

The sound reflected off the peaks of Echo Valley is also particularly noticeable.

According to locals.

Lindsay stepped on the stagnant water and continued walking, her mind began to drift away.

It's a pity that most of the fish that are hooked are some local specialty fish species, which can only satisfy the appetite.

"Except for storms that can cause floods. Simple heavy rain weather is not a special environment."

Those echo craters come in different sizes and shapes, and their internal structures are extremely complex, and they are also connected to each other.

Then he tried to open the [Map]. Lindsay wanted to confirm where the problem occurred, but the town was full of markers.

So it took him about half an hour to walk from the south of the town to the north.

During the past two days of heavy rain, he also tried fishing.

Ordinary people walk in and are confused by the echo phenomenon, and then are surrounded by the complex terrain.

It is basically impossible to judge the location based on the number of people.

"Echo Valley..."

"But in the past a long time ago, could it have been man-made like the glaciers in Montenegro?"

The gray-black stone walls are covered with dense potholes, which reflect a unique buzzing sound on rainy days.

It was raining hard before Lindsay entered town.

"I just have to ask someone."

Lindsay's vision swept around.

There are adventurers walking on the streets when it rains heavily, let alone when the rain is reducing now. But in addition to these outsiders, locals also began to move around.

The main industry in Echo Valley is tourism.

There are also townspeople who need to go to the jungle to collect resources to maintain their lives.

The blockade for more than a month has made their living environment worse and worse, and the expressions on their faces are mostly sad and painful.

Even the forest that has calmed down can be re-entered.

But in addition to the renewed hope, there is also a layer of resentment in their eyes that cannot be resolved.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

boom--

On the street, a young boy was suddenly pushed to the ground by an adventurer.

His whole body fell into the water on the street, his expression panicked.

Immediately, the adventurer stepped forward, looked at the opponent with a condescending gaze, raised his kick and was about to kick him again:
"You ran so fast without eyes? Didn't you see that I was in a hurry..."

Snapped!
The adventurer's kicked foot stuck in the air.

Or in other words, when he was about to kick the boy, Lindsay next to him took a step forward and put his left leg in front of the opponent.

The adventurer kicked it as if he had hit a solid iron pillar. The pain coming from the front of his calf made him yell:

"Where did you come from? You want to stand up for others..."

Snapped!
Lindsay's right hand slapped directly on the adventurer's shoulder.

At the same time, the adventurer's arrogant and arrogant voice just a second ago completely disappeared at this moment.

"..." The adventurer looked horrified.

He didn't see Lindsay's movements clearly at all, he only felt the afterimage flash in front of him, and the other party's hand patted his shoulder.

The power that followed almost crushed his bones!

He couldn't even use the strength to break free!

warrior?

At least an awakened person of level three or above?
"Friend, he is just a child, there is no need for you to be so impatient."

At this time, Lindsay spoke.

He let go and pushed the adventurer out. The other person staggered back a few steps and almost fell into the water.

Then he didn't even dare to say a harsh word.

The adventurer turned around and ran to the other side of the street, without daring to look back, and disappeared into the rain.

Lindsay then stretched out her hand to the child who fell to the ground:

"Is everything okay?"

"..."

The boy looked at Lindsay's hand, but finally did not dare to hold it and climbed up from the water.

He lowered his head, not even daring to look directly at Lindsay:

"Thank you, my lord."

The boy knew very well.

The adventurer who pushed him down just now was an awakened one.

To be able to stop the opponent and even scare him away so easily, Lindsay must be a stronger being.

The boy felt a little grateful, but mostly fearful.

"..."

Looking at the boy's appearance, Lindsay also guessed the other person's mood.

Comforting or showing kindness at this time will only aggravate the other person's fear, so Lindsay directly stated her problem:

"Foltz, I want to know where a man named Foltz lives? Can you tell me?"

The boy then asked solemnly:
"Are you talking about the companion of the guy who disappeared the night before yesterday?"

Lindsay nodded: "That's right."

The boy immediately pointed to a wooden house in the distance. The side of the building was vaguely visible under the rain curtain:
"He's in the house over there, at Aunt Hela's house."

Lindsay wanted to ask a few more questions and find out more information.

As a result, the child turned around and left after telling him the answer, with an attitude of keeping a distance from the awakened ones.

"..."

"It seems there are quite a few people causing trouble here."

Lindsay shook her head slightly.

He had just been searching for anyone who could pry out information.

I happened to find this scene and came to help.

But now it seems that the situation in the town may not be as positive as the adventurers showed.

An extremely large number of outsiders stayed in a small town for more than a month.

There were even wars during this period.

When these conditions come together, if you think about it carefully, you know that nothing good will happen.

If it's just one or two independent events.

Lindsay didn't mind taking action to stop this kind of bullying and oppression.

If it were the status accumulated by the awakened people in the entire town, or even in society, he might not be able to do anything about it.

Faced with bad news and rainy weather.

Lindsay felt a little down.

He continued to move in the direction pointed by the boy, and he saw the building clearly after lifting the rain curtain.

This is a two-story wooden house, not much different from other buildings on the street.

But before Lindsay could knock on the door and go in, he heard a roar coming from the house a few meters away on the street:

"What are you doing? Get out of here."
