Silence Order

Are you alright?

Linsey noticed Fuerzi's unusual behavior immediately.

He came here to gather information, and he already had the [Decryption Game] module running.

The Nature Follower in front of me was radiating a strong white light, which clearly indicated that there was something wrong with his body.

Linsey immediately stepped forward, but Fuerzi still couldn't make a move.

It wasn't until Linsey reached out to support the other person that the [Product] skill identified the information, and the truth came to light.

[This human is under the spell of the Organizer's Craft, rendering them unable to take any action.]

"..."

"Mu Le Na Hu En has indeed been here."

Linsey remarked.

Upon hearing this, Fuerzi, who was standing right next to him, was shocked by the sight!

In the eyes of this Nature Follower, Mu Le Na Hu En is the ruler of Nine Bends City, a powerful being at the Seventh Stage! The other party did indeed come here a few days ago.

And unfortunately, they ran into their adventure team.

After encountering the enemy, Fuerzi's companions had already been taken away by Mu Le Na Hu En.

However, because of Fuerzi himself, and because of his identity as Nature Follower, taking him away was not an option, nor was killing him.

Mu Le Na Hu En then placed Silence Order on him, leaving him alone in Echo Ancient Town.

This has led to the current situation.

Before Linsey appeared.

At most, Fuerzi could only dream that he could escape this disaster through some means of transportation.

After all, the methods employed by the Seventh Stage organizers are beyond the capabilities of ordinary awakened individuals.

Linsey's revelation of the truth has given Fuerzi a glimmer of hope.

The timing of Linsey's appearance, the Forest's Favor surrounding her, and her ability to reveal the organizer's methods in a single sentence.

These are things that ordinary people cannot do! "Ha—whoosh—"

Fuerzi gasped for breath.

The effects of the Silence Order gradually faded, and he regained the ability to speak:

"Sir, I..."

Fuerzi was eager to tell Linsey something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the Silence Order took effect again.

Fuerzi himself was one of those who came out of the city to take the adventure in response to Mu Le Na Hu En's call.

In the Organizer's Skill.

This meets the criteria for being selected as the 'organized party'.

So even though Fuerzi is not a resident of Nine Bends City.

Under this condition of obeying orders, even a simple Silence Order from the Seventh Stage organizer left him completely powerless to resist, like a puppet at the mercy of others! "..."

"The skills of these high-level awakened individuals are truly outrageous, one after another."

Linsey shook her head slightly, feeling a pang of emotion.

The ideal power of Righteous Walker forever, the omnipotent Value Transaction of merchants, and the absolute control of people by organizers.

Either way, upon closer examination, they all seem incredibly difficult to handle.

"Calm down."

"Don't rush to tell me anything."

While comforting Fuerzi, Linsey took the initiative to speak, "I know you are under the control of the Organizer's Craft and cannot speak. So let's change the subject—tell me about the recent situation in Echo Valley Town."

Fuerzi also caught his breath.

He couldn't quite figure out Linsey's thoughts for a moment, so he could only nod reluctantly. "Okay, please ask."

I will do my best to answer your questions.

Linsey snapped her map open and spread it out on the table.

Once Fuerzi had rested enough, Linsey pointed to the due west of Echo Valley Town on the map and drew an arc in a clockwise direction.

Fuerzi kept a close eye on Linsey's movements.

When Linsey's finger reached the northeast direction of the town, Fuerzi's body froze again.

—The Silence Order has been activated.

This also means that the location on the map corresponds to the content for which Fuerzi was silenced! The Silence Order indeed prevented Fuerzi from speaking.

But the very fact that they can't speak is a clue that can be used!

"..."

"This method may be uncomfortable for you, but please bear with it."

Linsey reached out and transferred her Life Source Material into Fuerzi's body to ease the other's tension.

Wait until the effect of the Silence Order wears off.

His fingers still started from due west, but this time they rotated counterclockwise.

This time, when Linsey's finger pointed due east, Fuerzi's body tensed up once again.

"East to northeast direction..."

Linsey raised an eyebrow slightly.

The repeated Silence Order had left Fuerzi pale and physically weak.

Linsey didn't want to keep pressuring Fuerzi.

But this Nature Follower had no intention of stopping.

He had barely regained his ability to speak when he grabbed Linsey's sleeve, gritting his teeth as he said:

"Sir, let's continue!"

Linsey put away the map without giving him a chance to refuse, and shook her head, saying, "We still have time. Let's wait until you're feeling better."

This time, I waited for a full fifteen minutes.

Seeing that Fuerzi's breathing had returned to normal and his face was no longer pale, Linsey unfolded the map again:

"If you feel it's not working, you can stop it anytime."

Fuerzi didn't speak, but returned Linsey's smile.

Having confirmed the other party's attitude, Linsey resumed fiddling with her fingers.

However, this time, the situation was somewhat unexpected.

Linsey pressed her finger on Echo Valley Town, preparing to use it as a starting point.

As a result, after moving only slightly to the angle between the northeast and the east, the Silence Order on Fuerzi was put into effect again.

At this moment, Linsey's finger had just pointed to the edge of the town!

The Silence Order came on too quickly! "..."

Linsey stared at the map in front of her.

The spot where the finger was pressing was right next to Echo Valley Town, far from the heart of the Garden Enclosure.

"This place should be directly above the valley."

Linsey murmured to himself, then suddenly remembered the terrain and his expression changed. "No, it's the Echo Cave in the mountain wall!"

"They didn't leave by water or land; instead, they went into caves in the mountain!"

Without hesitation, Linsey activated the [Map] skill, expanding the reconnaissance range.

Then he was speechless.

Ordinary people have no interest in going into the intricate caves of Echo Valley.

But the adventurers, who had been trapped in the town for more than a month, couldn't settle down.

This is on Linsey's map right now.

Inside the mountain, at regular intervals, you can see markers of different colors.

Trying to confirm something using skills is simply a pipe dream!

Now it's Linsey's turn to be conflicted.

He entered the town intending only to gather some information, but unexpectedly encountered someone who had been in contact with Mu Le Na Hu En.

Two choices are now before us.

Continue to the center of the Garden Enclosure to collect the fruits of treatment for Essence risks.

Alternatively, you could turn around and explore the Echo Cave in Echo Valley, looking for clues that might exist there.

Linsey frowned, still struggling with her decision.

Meanwhile, Fuerzi, standing to the side, took deep breaths, trying to regain his composure.

Just as the two were busy with their own things, a commotion and shouts arose outside the house:

"Wait, someone sneaked in!"

"Trying to keep the information to yourself?"

"Charge in! Don't let Fuerzi get away!"
