Chapter 932 Ancient Earth
Lindsay walked up to the ruins, stepping on the broken rubble.

He activated the [Puzzle Game], and there was almost no clue of white light around him. He sensed carefully but didn't find anything special.

"However, the clues have already pointed the cause and effect here."

Lindsay immediately used his skills to dig into the ruins, looking for possible clues.

Behind him, the messenger Eris followed closely.

But unlike Lindsay who was digging with her hands, Eris half-knelt on the ground and reached out to touch the fallen ruins.

The smell of scorched earth began to linger in his ears.

There were three people in the team, but only Arason did not follow the other two.

He chose a high place with a wide view to set up his easel and first observed the surroundings.

"..."

“There are quite a lot of people.”

The one-armed painter sighed.

The ruins of the village had been excavated for two days, but they were still watched by many people. He just sat there with his drawing board, without any extra actions, and someone in the nearby tunnel cast a suspicious look at him.

If there is any news about the discovery of supplies here.

Without thinking too much, these people will immediately rush over to compete for resources.

"Ugh……"

Arathorn sighed and waved his brush.

Just like he had covered his tracks in the Seven Seas Alliance, he painted himself a circle of black camouflage before starting today's painting.

Further down.

The law knights and refugees remained inside the tunnel.

They did not intend to participate in the investigation of Lindsay and the other two. They split into two sides on the side of the tunnel, facing each other, and the atmosphere was still as tense as yesterday.

After a few minutes, Lindsay dug holes in the ruins.

Some scattered clues of white light began to emerge.

[A broken stone tablet - it had been lying at the bottom of the pond for who knows how long, and it contained some ancient text.]

[Broken mortar - the ancient rock that was recently opened seems to have preserved something over the long years.]

[Dead black colored wood - the precious wood used to build high-end carriages, has completely decayed after being silent for a long time.]

"..."

"What does it mean?"

Lindsay frowned.

The information he detected seemed to have nothing to do with an attacked village. Instead, it seemed like a descriptive suffix that would only appear in ancient ruins.

At the same time, Eris behind her also opened her eyes.

He used his skills to communicate with the earth itself, and the information he obtained focused more on the situation in the past few days.

The messenger sorted out his thoughts a little, then stepped forward and told Lindsay the results of his investigation:
"Lindsay, did we get something wrong?"

"The information this land gave me is that a man attacked this village some time ago and looted a lot of supplies. Other than that, there doesn't seem to be anything special?"

"Nothing special?" Hearing Eris's question, Lindsay directly mobilized the source essence and combined the clues in his hand, "Wait a minute."

The skill was activated, and the known clues began to be pieced together in front of Lindsay.

But what is surprising is.

Putting these clues together, the picture shows no village or battle being attacked, but instead just a flat wilderness.

Under the cover of falling leaves in late autumn.

A convoy was carrying a large amount of supplies and was slowly moving westward.

But as they were on the road, a red light suddenly fell from the sky.

In an instant, all the people in the convoy and the things they were carrying were crushed into pieces by this terrible skill. The people who launched the attack seemed to be entangled by something and could only leave quickly.

What is left at last is the earth returning to silence.

"..."

"No village?"

"There is no time confusion now."

"The scene just now must have happened before the village was built, in the ancient past." Lindsay thought for a moment.

Just then, he discovered that the [Reveal the Answer] skill at the bottom of [Puzzle Game] lit up!
[Unveil the mystery: After players get the answer based on the clues, they can choose the corresponding effect according to the current situation - shock the criminal/find a secret escape route/eliminate abnormal status/reveal the hidden secret...

Note: Objection! Dispute! There is only one truth! 】

Lindsay activated it immediately without any hesitation.

Then, under the effect of [Reveal the Mystery], a hidden secret is immediately revealed.

[A hidden secret - in the ancient past, a caravan carrying spoils of war was attacked here, and then it was buried here along with everything it transported.]

Assisted by skills.

Lindsay didn't even have to guess the intelligence.

He turned around and immediately asked the messenger:

"Eris, can your skills obtain information from further back in time?"

Eris blinked.
"Information from further back? How far back do you mean?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Lindsay replied:
"Before this village was built."

"..."

Eris suddenly laughed.

That smile was neither happy nor sad.

Rather, it is the helpless smile of office workers when faced with extremely difficult work.

"Okay, I can give it a try."

"But Lindsay, communicating with the earth is a very difficult thing. Even if I try hard, there is no guarantee of success."

Lindsay nodded encouragingly:

"No problem, just try it."

“Whether there is any result or not, I am very grateful.”

Then, Eris took a step forward.

This time he closed his eyes, knelt completely on the ground, and supported himself with his hands on the scorched earth in front of him.

From Lindsay's perspective next to her.

He discovered that the source essence in the messenger was surging wildly, and then it was interacting with everything around it and communicating more closely.

In just a few seconds, the two seemed to blend into one.

Eris uses this ability to have a deep conversation with the nearby land, asking about past events.

then.

"no!"

"Lindsay, you can't do this. At least I can't!"

"The memory of the earth is deep and reserved. We can get details about recent events, but as for the more ancient memories, they are just drastic changes in the mountains and rivers. It is impossible to find clues to the details!"

Eris stood up.

As a companion, he certainly wanted to help.

But the reality is - he is not capable enough to find clues to get here.

"..."

Faced with this situation, Lindsay lowered his head in thought.

He quickly changed his mind:

"In that case, let's focus our attention on the person who launched the attack!"

Lindsay looked at the ground beneath her feet.

Although the surrounding ruins were in tatters, judging from the traces and other clues, he could confirm that this village was completely destroyed by the same means in a very short period of time!

"Eris, how long did it take the murderer to destroy this village?"

This time, the messenger answered without hesitation:

"I'm sure of that!"

"It took him less than two minutes!"
