My different world is game mode

Lindsay and Arazon return to the island.

The former's wooden boat was fixed in a small inlet, and the latter's boat needed to be removed from the support of the source material, so the boat turned into pure paint and scattered in the sea water.

The two quietly returned to the island.

On the outer ring of the island where countless rivers intersect, at regular intervals, there are nests of Red Sea mermaids.

Lindsay and Arazon were walking among them, and cries of unknown meaning came and went, mixed with some weird and crazy laughter.

correct.

Lindsay thought of the psychedelic mist on the island, so she tore off a piece of filter cloth and handed it to the painter:

"Put this on your face and it will filter out those weird gases in the air."

Alazon took the filter cloth and learned to put it on in a formal manner.

The two of them carefully walked around the mermaid's lair.

It took more than half an hour to pass through these grid-like mermaid love nests and enter the real main island.

At this distance, the psychedelic mist in the air becomes even denser, like an airtight love net surrounding the island.

Until you enter a forest.

Lindsay straightened up and released the stealth state.

Alazon, who was disguised as a canvas, naturally saw this scene in his eyes, and his tone was a little curious:

"Is this how you avoided the searches of those mermaids?"

"It's not all my fault." Lindsay shook her head slightly, "With the help of Wala Wala's cover, she helped me attract attention."

"Speaking of which, do you know anyone else escaped from the ship?"

Arasorn sighed:

"Unfortunately."

"Before I met you, I thought I was the only one who escaped."

"..."

The two men held a moment of silence for the men who had been killed.

Before parting ways with Wala Wala, Lindsay had already agreed on a meeting place, which was the forest in front of her far away from the waterway. Now she just needed to wait quietly.

Arathon understood the situation and mentioned the previous conversation at sea:

"Lindsay, since you are so sure that we are going to escape by force, you must have already planned the specific details, right?"

Lindsay elaborated:

"Last night, the ship proved itself strong enough to sail through the storm, but the seafarers who towed it were brutally attacked."

"We just have to find a way to power the ship and we can leave."

Alazon lowered his head and thought:

"This method...can indeed be tried."

As the discussion progressed, the two began to look around the island.

Lindsay's plan is easy to understand.

They were not the only group of humans who were 'invited' to the island by the mermaids of the Red Sea. There were also other ships that encountered the same fate.

It is conceivable that there are definitely a lot of awakened people among them.

Unless these people have any new and special hobbies.

Otherwise, they would not be able to refuse the opportunity to leave the island.

While talking to Arathorn.

Lindsay also opened the map and observed the surrounding environment.

Then, he spotted a particularly conspicuous green spot wandering in the water.

The other markers on the map, regardless of color, are basically around the corresponding merfolk lair.

Only this mark, centered on the woods where Lindsay was, would not deviate at all even if it kept moving in the nearby waterway.

It was as if I had been looking at him from the water.

"..."

"It's that guy..."

Lindsay didn't need to think too much to guess that this was the mermaid girl he had just caught.

Although ordered to leave and not allowed to reveal information.

But the other party's spirit persisted, and he was even spying on Lindsay's location from a distance in the river.

Lindsay frowned.

I also found a green mark in the center of the island, walking towards this location.

"It's Wala Wala!"

Lindsay greeted Arazon and went to meet him in the corresponding direction. Not long after, he saw the girl returning.

But it’s not the same feeling of anticipation and exploration that I felt when I left.

At this moment, Wala Wala returned alone, with a frown on her face. It was obvious that she had just encountered something unpleasant.

"Walawala, how's the situation?"

Lindsay stepped forward and spoke out the information she had first:

"I've also gained something at sea."

"That storm was created by the owner of the island and cannot be entered or exited at will. The opponent's strength is at least level seven or above. At the same time, he is not the only one on the island, but has many companions..."

When Wala Wala heard this, she immediately smiled bitterly:

"There are more than a few people on the island. It is simply a well-constructed town!"

Lindsay asked cautiously:

"Looking at your expression - I'm afraid I've discovered more than just a town, right?"

Wala Wala nodded and admitted:

"Yes, it's their counterfeit workshop inside."

Lindsay raised her eyebrows:

"Fake workshop?"

Balabala continued to explain:

"The artworks produced by the Seven Seas Alliance will be sought after both locally and in other worlds."

"Some guys who have evil thoughts or whose artistic standards are not up to par will naturally use their brains in this regard."

Arazon on the side also added:

"In addition to some special works of art that have special abilities, it is also very common for special awakened people like collectors or nobles to pursue these works fanatically."

The two artists took turns introducing each other, and Lindsay naturally understood everything:

"So the mermaids on the island are just a cover they use to hide their traces to deal with the attention of the outside world."

"Their real purpose is to make fakes here and then trade them out."

Lindsay did not understand the legal system of the Seven Seas Alliance.

So again:

"Let me ask, what is the City of Thousand Sails' attitude towards this kind of thing?"

Wala Wala gave the answer directly:

"Typically - a hefty fine, and a lengthy prison sentence."

Lindsay asked:

"Since you said usually, does that mean there are special circumstances?"

Wala Wala continued:

"If you forge the works of an eighth-stage artist; or if you use the ability to forge to cause a large-scale malignant incident - the death penalty."

"..."

Lindsay nodded slightly.

The maximum penalty for making counterfeits is death, which is in line with the specific situation of the Seven Seas Alliance.

Wala Wala continued:

"Also, you must have felt the psychedelic mist on this island, right?"

Speaking of which.

The girl suddenly lowered her voice and her expression became extremely serious:

"I just saw the undiluted version of this thing in town."

Lindsay doesn’t know the situation yet.

But seeing Vala Vala's appearance, Arazon, who is also an artist, reacted immediately.

He spit out a name, his voice even a little out of control:

"Colorful Dream Potion?"

Wala Wala nodded:

"Yes, that's it."

"There is also a factory in the town that is specially used to produce Colorful Dream Potion!"

Both of them knew that it was Lindsay's first time coming to the Seven Seas Alliance and she was not sure about many things.

An explanation will be given immediately:

"Colorful Dream Potion can greatly stimulate people's spirit, causing them to fall into an excited and psychedelic state, and even become addicted to it."

"So, this is a base for degenerate artists."
