Impact
"Me? Help? Of course, no problem!"
"My hero, I am willing to do anything for you, even the Sea of Silent Death and the Chaotic Void!"
Hilude felt incredibly happy.
To be able to witness firsthand a true hero who triumphs over fate.
Even if she were the villain and subjected to any form of torture, she would gladly accept the outcome.
Then, the girl felt herself being picked up by Linsey.
Her Essence memories have not yet been restored, and her fragile body cannot move without a wheelchair, which is why Linsey carries her around.
Hilude looked at Linsey with Intoxication expression:
What do you intend for me to do?
"..."
Linsey didn't want to talk to this guy.
He silently carried Hilude to the Village Square and placed her on the wooden speaking platform:
"It's nothing dangerous."
"Come on, sit here. Yes, right here, don't move."
Under the writer girl's intrigued gaze, Linsey activated the transformation function of [Village Square] again.
Immediately, a faint Essence flowed in the center of the [Village Square].
They gradually gathered together, with Hilde sitting at the core.
Linsey asked:
"How are you feeling? How does it feel?"
As a Seventh Stage Awakened One, Hilude has a keen insight into these changes:
"Of course there is. A special Essence is guiding me... Hmm, it's also giving me knowledge and skills? The ability to grow crops, as well as some basic building knowledge."
"Interesting! This indoctrination is very gentle and not at all abrupt."
"If it can be used to teach people painting and singing, it might become a very good learning method for art enlightenment!"
Lindsay ignored Hillud's emotion and continued to ask:
"Besides the increase in knowledge and skills, are there any other effects?"
"For example, a loss of control over one's personality or body, or a will to be loyal to me?"
Upon hearing this question, Hilude's expression immediately changed.
The girl's wine-red pupils gazed at Linsey with unwavering fervor.
"I swear! Linsey, no one in this world loves you more than I do!"
"..."
Linsey was speechless, and even a little doubtful, wondering if using this guy as a test subject was a serious mistake.
He then asked:
"Then, putting aside your original feelings, have these aspects had any impact?"
"I love whatever attitude you have!" Hilude first expressed her fervor for Linsey before saying, "I think I understand your concerns. This kind of indoctrination is not like becoming your employee, where you would be stripped of your own identity. You can use it with confidence to help the people you want to help."
While Linsey and Hilude were talking, Hammer and Vivian, who had finished taking stock of the logging situation, also ran back.
The latter looked at Hilude with some curiosity:
"Mr. Linsey, this lady is..."
Before Vivian could finish her question, Hilude immediately stated her position:
"I am Linsey's slave!"
"He was the most loyal hunting dog when he hunted, the sailor who never rested on long voyages, and the attendant who led his horse before he set out on a campaign! From distant cliffs to the Firmament North Sea, this affection remained unchanged!"
Hilude rattled off a string of descriptions that left everyone present completely bewildered.
There's no need to elaborate on the honest and simple Tie Yu.
Even Vivian and Hammer, who were both educated, couldn't immediately process the jumbled adjectives describing Hilude.
During this process, Hilude's eyes flickered.
Although she had only just arrived in this world, she quickly discerned Linsey's status here from the surrounding atmosphere.
The writer had another idea, and she raised her voice and shouted:
"By the way, I'm also a Seventh Stage Awakener!"
"Only after being defeated head-on by Linsey did she willingly become his slave."
"..."
Hilude's words had barely left her lips.
Hammer was so frightened that he took several steps back and fell to the ground.
Tie Yu and Vivian were bewildered and stood there, speechless.
—Awakened at the Seventh Stage!
Even in the prosperous era of decades ago.
In the world of "Moon Weeping Mountain Range," it is rare to see an awakener of this caliber.
But things have come to this point.
This has become something that can only be heard of in legends.
The only person in the entire world who could possibly be involved in this area is the Lord of the Green Swamp.
But what about now?
Hearing about Hilude's strength, and the fact that she was defeated by Linsey and eventually became a slave.
An indescribable shock reverberated through people's hearts.
It's as if a high and mighty god has been dragged down to the mortal world and even trampled underfoot!
Linsey was speechless at the sight, and he reminded his companions:
"Alright, you don't need to be so scared."
"Besides, this guy isn't a good person either. It's hard to tell if what he says is true or false, so it's best not to believe him!"
Hammer got up from the ground and asked cautiously:
"Then... Lord Linsey, what are this lady's abilities..."
Linsey doesn't intend to deceive people on this point:
"She is indeed Seventh Stage Awakener, but she no longer has the corresponding abilities."
Hilude immediately chimed in from the side:
"Isn't it because you went head-to-head with your fate that you ended up in this predicament?"
"..."
The group did not deliberately lower their voices during their conversation.
The surrounding residents, upon hearing this news, also began to feel bewildered.
When something too large, even beyond our comprehension, suddenly appears before us.
People can't even feel fear immediately; they just stand there, stunned.
They looked at Hilude, who was sitting in the square with a mocking smile, and Linsey, who was standing to the side.
They felt they had witnessed something incredible.
But such a superficial understanding cannot describe the overwhelming emotions I felt at that moment.
Just then, Hilude spoke again:
"But speaking of which, because of this instillation of knowledge and ability, I seem to have regained some of my ability to manipulate the Essence."
The girl had no intention of deceiving Linsey.
She held her palms in front of her, powerful emotions mixed with a faint Essence flowing through her fingertips.
It's highly unlikely that the Village Square will fully restore the abilities of a Seventh Stage Awakened One.
Hilude's current power is even slightly inferior to that of a first-stage Awakened.
But as a former powerhouse.
This small change also allowed the writer to regain some of his former perspective.
She slowly raised her head to look west, and suddenly said to Linsey:
"Brave warrior, the paths of destiny are intersecting and converging."
Linsey won't have a good attitude towards this guy:
Can't you speak like a human being?
Hilude was also very specific about Linsey's bad attitude; she smiled slightly and immediately changed her tune accordingly:
"Simply put, someone is approaching this way."
"With my current perspective, I can't see the whole picture. But based on experience—it seems to be hostile."
