My different world is game mode.

Chapter 583: The Erosion

Lindsay’s attitude is so clear.

There was no need for much explanation. The old man smiled and followed him to the plant shop.

As he entered the store, the old man glanced around and couldn't help but exclaimed:
“Can you grow so many plants?”

"Only an Ascender like you can forcibly create a forest and even change the environment of the wasteland, right?"

"..."

Lindsay wanted to correct this statement.

Strictly speaking, he is still a fourth-stage awakener.

But it seems a bit ridiculous to say this now, so I just accepted it.

Lindsay led the way and the group went directly to the reception room on the second floor.

He and the old man sat down separately, and the two young men stood upright behind them, like two guards.

Lindsay took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for the old man:

"Old man, I can see that you come here with good intentions."

"And if I'm not mistaken, you should know a lot of things that have happened on this land, right?"

The old man nodded and praised:

"My Lord, your insight is amazing."

Lindsay smiled and shrugged:

"The ability of the awakened one, and a sufficient age - these two points combined, it is not difficult to infer these."

After that, Lindsay introduced herself.

"Also, you don't need to call me Lord. My name is Lindsay."

"As an elder, you should just call me by my name."

The elders still maintain respect:
"Master Lindsay, I'm Ryan."

"A poor fugitive who has been hiding from place to place for all these years and can only protect a small group of people."

Lindsay shook her head and said:
“In today’s barren land, being able to protect yourself and even take care of others is a remarkable achievement.”

"Mr. Ryan, please tell me why you are here."

The old man did not dare to be careless and explained his purpose in detail:

"A few months ago, I heard that a piece of land called Banyan Forest appeared in the east. It is impossible for such a large flora to grow in the wasteland today, so I was curious. After hearing about your management of the territory, I became even more curious, so I came to take a look."

At this point, Ryan couldn't help but sigh:
"You may be able to tell that I am old now and I only have 10 years left to live. Before I die, I want to at least arrange a place for these children to live for a while."

Lindsay nodded in understanding.

So these people, like other refugees, came to the banyan forest for refuge.

But they have other companions, and these three are the characters who go ahead to explore.

Lindsay began to express her views:
"I can assure you that Banyan Forest welcomes all friends with good intentions."

"If you want to arrange for someone to join, I will definitely welcome it!"

Ryan looked a little excited.

Lindsay raised his hand and pressed it lightly, then asked:
“But it’s a rare opportunity.”

"Since a wise man like you has come here, there are some things I would like to get answers from you."

Ryan knew this well:

"You want to ask how Mooncry Mountain Range fell to this point?"

Seeing Lindsay nod, the old man continued:

"Not to mention the fighting among the Righteous Ones. They destroyed several major cities in this world. When the battle line was withdrawn back to the Dust Path World, we thought we had a chance to catch our breath, but the Corruptors suddenly appeared again."

"While the Righteous Ones were fighting each other, the Corruptors were rampant and even started a plague. I thought this world had ended completely, but for some reason, the plague that was getting worse and worse ended inexplicably. I, an Awakener with low strength and no value, also survived the escape."

——Erosion.

Hearing this word, Lindsay frowned.

Now he is no longer the fledgling adventurer, and has a basic understanding of various schools in the world, including the Erosion School. The Erosion School has a strong power in the world's main city.

Their skills are quite dangerous, even somewhat notorious, and they have their current status only through strength!

According to public statements.

The Erosion Technique is very effective at a low level, and the strong ones can even have the power to erode or even assimilate the world at will.

Some of them are extremely dangerous individuals, and even have the ability to devour the essence and skills of others.

Occasionally, one appears and becomes a world cancer that causes great harm. Even the main city of the eroder's own world has to be taken seriously.

Lindsay summarized the information Ryan provided.

He had originally set his enemies' sights on the Abyss School, but he did not expect to hear this unexpected name from the mouth of this eyewitness.

He tried to ask:

"Mr. Ryan, have you ever heard of the Abyss?"

The old man shook his head:

"No."

Ryan could still know some local things in Mooncry Mountain due to his age and status as an awakened person.

But this ancient history comes from tens of thousands of years ago and has long been buried in the years.

Of course he had no way of knowing.

Hearing this, Lindsay, who was sitting opposite, frowned.

Ryan saw Lindsay's look and misunderstood the lord's thoughts, so he took the initiative to make a suggestion:
"Lord Lindsay, if you want to know more, I might know a good place."

"I heard that the messengers did not destroy the messenger embassy in this world before they evacuated. Perhaps you can get some detailed records there."

"After all, you know that the messenger is always the most informed."

Lindsay immediately became interested:

"The embassy in this world has not been destroyed or occupied by anyone?"

Ryan nodded:

“There is basic protection of the craft there.”

“Ordinary people can’t get in, and those who can get in don’t have much interest in paper books.”

Over the past few decades, everyone in the wasteland has regarded it as a dispensable place."

Lindsay asked:
"What about the specific location?"

Ryan immediately replied:

"It's east of the teleportation courtyard. It takes an ordinary person a week to get there."

"But - I also heard when I was young that a powerful messenger could travel that distance and make a round trip in a single day."

At this point in their conversation, Lindsay had gained enough information and was quite satisfied.

After a long journey, the old man in front of him was already a little tired.

Lindsay saw this and prepared to end the conversation and go out to arrange a residence for the other party.

Just as he stood up to lead the way, the trouble just now resurfaced in his mind.

Lindsay asked casually:
"Mr. Ryan, do you know about cinnabar mines?"

The old man was a little confused:
"Cinnabar?"

Lindsay explained simply:

"It is a red mineral that is poisonous and cannot be eaten casually by humans."

Ryan's dormant memory was awakened:

"Are you talking about a material used for seals?"

"If I remember correctly, there was indeed such a mine in the West, but it was a long time ago."
