Having made up his mind, Linsey stopped wandering around the upper reaches of River Valley.
He aimed directly at the waterfall below and leaped down, relying on his powerful physique. A sharp, urgent whistle of wind rose from the riverbank.
Linsey fell through the air.
At the same time, he activated his skills, preparing to find a way into this hidden place. Then the Sky Compass in his Equipment Slot suddenly made a sound.
"Ah?"
Linsey blinked.
"This alert..."
"It isn't warning of danger. It's detected a Hidden Space!"
Following the Sky Compass's guidance, Linsey opened his map. Along the direction in which he was falling through River Valley, a remarkably clear red arrow pointed toward an unremarkable patch of shrubs by the bank. Not far away was a steep slope rising upward.
"Heh—"
"Fine. This will save me the cost of using my skills."
Thud!
Linsey landed heavily on the ground with a dull impact.
Two footprints appeared on the ground, showing that someone had just landed there, but there was no one in sight.
In mere milliseconds.
Linsey crossed more than a hundred meters of riverbank and arrived beside the shrubs indicated by the arrow.
Pushing through the bushes, he found an inconspicuous cave hidden between the greenery and the cliff face.
Crack—
Linsey stepped on and broke the brush, then peered inside through the sparse, bright sunlight.
Within this relatively spacious area, brown dead branches and green moss formed a soft layer across the ground. It looked somewhat like the sort of cave where bears hibernated.
The Sky Compass's guidance also came to a stop here.
"First a small pool by the river, then an ordinary mountain cave."
"The entry points to these Small Worlds in the City of Law really all have their own 'special characteristics.'"
