Chapter 1025 Blue Lake Town

"Lotta, let's go east."

While giving instructions for the route to go, Lindsay activated the face-shaping skill and gave herself a completely new body shape and appearance.

He has dealt with people from the Abyss School more than once.

If you don't want to be easily discovered by the enemy, you must not show up in your original appearance at this time.

Rota followed closely behind.

The mechanical maid carefully noted down Lindsay's new appearance, and then asked about the details revealed in this command:

"Commander, we can only go east. Have you found anything?"

Lindsay's attention was still on the map.

While detailing the information he had gathered, he replied:

"My mapping skills have detected quite a few hostile signs near the lake. Let me think - by tomorrow, we need to figure out the movements of these guys and their reasons for not bothering the natives."

"One day to gather intelligence." Rota was still cautious. "Commander, this is not an absolute event in terms of probability."

"..."

"Don't worry, I'm sure."

Lindsay smiled softly.

He is careful not to be so deeply influenced by his skills that he loses himself, but that doesn't mean he can't distinguish between the important and the unimportant.

If I can't accomplish these goals in one day, I will immediately activate the [Strategist] skill.

By then, no matter how deeply the Abyss School hides, he is confident that he can find out the other party's flaws!
Lindsay and Lotta are fast on their feet.

Half an hour later, they walked out of the Blue River Canyon and turned east along the river.

There is a lot of water vapor around Lake Anindarukhut.

After walking out of the canyon, the soil under their feet was not the moist soil like that in the rainforest or swamp, but a solid soil that was brown to black.

There are also residents here who have cultivated land in the forest.

What's planted above is even the golden brome that Lindsay is most familiar with!
"Wang!"

“Woof woof—”

Just as Lindsay and the other person were moving forward, a series of excited dog barkings sounded nearby.

They turned to look.

A black dog barked at the two men in a field of immature brome grass.

Also disturbed by the dog's barking.

Several demi-humans with golden cat ears, who were originally sighing over the crops, noticed Lindsay and the other two coming out.

"Huh? Humans."

"This direction...you guys are coming from the Blue River?"

The cat-eared demihuman asked cautiously.

Lindsay took a step forward, and within a millisecond, his expression became tired and haggard:
"Sorry to bother you."

"My wife and I fled from the north."

"Because I found a town here, I wanted to come and see if I could get some food?"

"..."

The cat-eared demihumans in the field looked at each other.

A month ago, the occasional refugee arrival here was not a big deal. After all, the area around Anindaluhut Lake was rich in resources, so a few hundred or even a thousand more residents would not be a problem.

but now……

"Ugh--"

"You guys came at a really bad time."

One of the cat-eared girls sighed.

She walked up to Lindsay and started a conversation:
"If you came here because you heard that you can live a stable life here, you will be greatly disappointed."

The cat-eared girl then began to explain.

Days of continuous darkness made it difficult for the crops they grew to survive.

This highly disaster-resistant golden brome is almost the last surviving crop, but it has no sign of maturing yet.

Although Lake Anindarukhut is rich in resources, what impact will the eternal night have on this place?
Having said that, the cat-eared girl even pulled down her furry ears.

“Everyone living here is a refugee.”

"There's not much local talk here, so outsiders are welcome to join us." "But it's always dark..."

"Without the protection of a high-level awakener, it's hard to say what will happen next."

The meaning of the cat-eared girl's words is very clear.

They are willing to accept outsiders.

But the area around Lake Anindarukhut will not be a place to live for a long time in the future.

Lindsay and Lotta naturally don't care about such things.

"Actually, both of us are awakened."

"If there's a shortage of supplies here, we can even help think of a solution!"

Lindsay volunteered without hesitation:
"To be honest, the resources in the village where I lived when I was a child were very scarce. In order to make a living, I was a member of the hunting team!"

Heard that Lindsay is a hunter.

The cat-eared girl's eyes lit up, her decadent and helpless expression became enthusiastic, and she even took the initiative to grab Lindsay's arms!
"Hunter? You are a hunter!"

"Great! Blue Lake Town welcomes every friend!"

"Before you join the hunt and arrange your accommodation, you can stay at my house first. Come on! Let's talk on the way."

Lindsay naturally did not refuse, and followed the young cat-eared girl into the town.

He even opened the map to confirm it on the way.

"Well... I'm lucky. There are no red marks around."

"As for finding out the news, we'll do it tonight."

Although the earth is shrouded in eternal night, due to the inertia of life, the biological clocks of the people in Blue Lake Town still remain normal.

Lindsay followed the cat-eared girl.

Don't forget to ask on the way:
"By the way, you didn't seem surprised when you saw the two of us."

"People often come here to seek refuge, right?"

The cat-eared girl nodded with a smile:
“Yes, I see it every month.”

"It's just that this world has become like this..." The cat-eared girl suddenly thought of something, "By the way, you guys don't mind living with demi-humans, right?"

Lindsay immediately shook her head.

"Of course I don't mind."

"In this troubled time, I am content as long as I have a place to stay."

The cat-eared girl also agreed very much.

She patted Lindsay's shoulder, turned around and continued to lead the way, muttering in a voice that only she could hear:

"To survive."

"If you are a human, going to the [City of Law] might be a better choice."

"..."

Lindsay and Lotta were taken to the cat-eared girl's home.

Their identity as awakened ones makes them accepted.

However, the follow-up arrangements will definitely take one or two days, so tonight is naturally just a temporary stay.

It was already late when Lindsay and the other person arrived.

A few hours later, the people of Blue Lake Town began to rest according to the rules of their biological clocks.

In the unchanging darkness, Lindsay walked out of the room alone.

He took advantage of the first night to investigate the red marks nearby.

Lindsay walks around the lake.

On the way, he looked at Lake Anindaluhut beside him from time to time, and his pace slowed down involuntarily.

The lake in front of me is as quiet as a blue-black mirror.

If it could be illuminated by sunlight, this hidden residence in the troubled times would definitely be called a paradise on earth.

"Ok?"

Lindsay's expression changed.

He looked at the lake in front of him, then at the lunar eclipse that had lasted for several days above his head, and was shocked to realize a fact:
"Wait, is this lunar eclipse considered a special weather condition?"

"And I think I can fish in this lake!"
