My different world is game mode.

Chapter 1042 Basic Point
Although I haven't known this law-abiding knight for very long.

But Lindsay could also sense that the other person was a very composed person in his behavior and conduct.

And yet, this very awakened individual, upon hearing his self-introduction, staggered slightly, a rare occurrence for him.

Al turned his head.

Although he dared not stop walking, and his heart began to pound erratically, his eyes remained fixed on Lindsay, as if someone who shouldn't be there had appeared before him.
"You...you've met Lord Benna, and even helped him?"

"Lindsay, your name is Lindsay..."

"When you were in a time-space chaos, where did you go...?"

Lindsay smiled and nodded:

"It was a small village where the first group of people lived before the true capital of the [City of Law] was established."

"If you've heard of my name, then I might be the person you know."

"..."

Upon hearing this answer, Al didn't say anything more.

He gave Lindsay a deep look, his golden eyes seeming to yearn for someone from his memory, before continuing to lead the way.

Lindsay and Rota followed closely behind Al.

The figure of the Law Knight ahead was unchanged from before.

But looking at him now, it seems that there is a greater sense of trust in Lindsay from behind.

"The resurrected knight... Benna..."

After chatting for a bit, Lindsay vaguely found a new idea.

He opened his baggage and began rummaging through the equipment he had recently acquired and the items he had collected before, trying to find something among them.

Lota, who was standing nearby, found an opening and asked Al in front of her a question:
"Mr. Al, since you merged into the sealed gate, you must have been present when the tomb was built?"

The law knight nodded without turning his head and said:

"Of course, although I am not the designer, I am actually one of the builders here."

Rota continued to raise her doubts:
“The wizard’s tomb has such a spatial base, and you are also aware of the concept of god-killing techniques—so why didn’t you destroy it in the first place?”

"End its existence at its root, and all greed and desire that covets it will become nothing but a pipe dream."

Al shook his head:

"Those were the wizard's last words before he died."

He said that his efforts to preserve his skills would play a necessary role in the future.

The Law Knight's voice became nostalgic as he mentioned the wizard:
“During the Abyss War, that sage was the most trustworthy wise man, and he made almost no wrong decisions. Therefore, after the war ended, we were willing to trust his will and make these arrangements.”

Rota's expression became complicated:

"Because they are trustworthy comrades-in-arms, I am willing to transform into a shadow of the past for the sake of their judgment."

Rota's low tone led Al to misunderstand something.

The knight of the law from the past laughed heartily and even began to offer advice to Rota:
"Little girl, it's nothing, don't feel sorry for me."

“In my time, there was hardly a pure land in the entire universe. Companions betrayed each other, and relatives turned against each other. We wanted to be ourselves but were powerless to do so. It was because I experienced all of this that I wanted to become a knight of the law to protect everything I cherished.”

The world saved from the war in the abyss.

For the knight, this was what he cherished most and what he most wanted to protect.

Rota then confirmed again:

Even if it costs you your life?

Al's answer was without hesitation:
"Of course, I would give my life for it—no matter how many times, I would answer that question and act accordingly!"

A mechanical life form, and a human from the distant past.

Both of them were thinking about their own affairs, but they happened to find themselves on the same page.

Lindsay, of course, also overheard the two discussing the cost.

He remembered the lake above and interrupted to ask:
“Mr. Al, I have another question, about the elemental spirit above the lake.” “Is he slumbering here also part of your plan?”

Al shook his head:

"It's just a coincidence."

"To protect their homeland, most of the powerful lords of the elemental realm paid a heavy price in the war. More than 70% either died or were forced into a deep sleep. Lord Anydarhut happened to be participating in the defense of the City of Law at the time. After discussions, he decided to sleep here and provide cover for us."

At this point, Al's tone was quite proud:
"The lake that the eighth stage manifests as is something that an ordinary awakened being could never detect. If I'm not mistaken—you must have gone through quite a bit of trouble to find this place, right?"

"..."

Lindsay was too embarrassed to say that she had been "recommended" to the university.

He thought for a moment and then asked for the details:

"If it was just a cover, then he wasn't responsible for guarding this place?"

This time, Al neither shook his head nor nodded:

"I can only say it's entirely based on personal preference."

"However, one thing I can confirm is that if he encounters someone from the Abyss School, he will definitely kill them!"

During the conversation.

Lindsay and her two companions then passed through three more tunnel bends.

They were all highly capable Awakened Ones, and neither the darkness nor the damp ground could hinder their movements.

In addition, Al was familiar with the route.

Half an hour later, they arrived at a depth of several kilometers below the water level, where the tunnel ahead became particularly narrow.

Lindsay's gaze was forward.

Rather than calling it a tunnel, it's more like a series of closely spaced, overlapping gaps that stretch into the unreachable depths of the underground, with a structure as complex as the air pockets on a butterfly pastry.

"call--"

"Next, it's all about physical labor."

Al, who was leading the way, stopped in front of the crevice in the earthen wall.

He let out a long breath and instinctively reached for his side, only to find that he didn't have his usual sword.

"Use this."

Lindsay immediately threw a pickaxe at the other person.

After Al took it, he was naturally curious about this strange tool and couldn't help but take a second look at it.

However, he didn't examine it closely, but instead nodded to Lindsay and said:
"This place has been specially treated. Ordinary techniques cannot change the nature of the earth. The only way is to forcefully break it open and then go in."

Lindsay glanced at her [Ancient Mark].

It seems he can enter without altering the properties of the earth or violently destroying it.
Before taking action, he confirmed with Al:
“Mr. Al, if we reach that point, is there still a way to enter the wizard's tomb?”

Al nodded first, then shook his head:
"We can certainly enter from the node, but we can't succeed. Because only the king of the [City of Law], using a royal artifact as proof of identity, can..."

Rumbling--

Before the conversation was over, the earth suddenly began to tremble violently.

The three of them looked up at the same time.

Suddenly, a powerful surge of primal energy erupted, surging through the underwater world above them.

It contains both the putrid stench of the deformed and the power of faith of the believers.

Amidst this complex interweaving of source matter, Lindsay recognized something familiar:

"Does this contain the skills of a wizard?"

"Cosévelette!"
