Chapter 793: Can You Elaborate?
Chapter 793: Can You Elaborate?
"I say... shouldn't we introduce ourselves first?"
"You're right."
After Lindsey shared her speculation, both the young man and his expression changed.
Almost in the blink of an eye, they reached a consensus and, almost simultaneously, introduced themselves:
"Lindsey."
"Arona."
The young man, or the ancestor of the Law Paladin known as Arona, continued his inquiry to Lindsey:
"Lindsey, I'd like you to elaborate. What do you mean by 'none of us belong to this era'? Don't tell me you're ancient relics from before the Exile Era, awakening from your slumber at this time?"
"Exile Era?" Lindsey heard a new term.
The mention of 'ancient relics' made Lindsey shake her head, indicating that Arona had guessed the direction of time incorrectly.
"It's not as you think."
"The Feathered Serpent and I are not from the ancient past; we are from a distant future."
Arona's eyes widened in disbelief:
"From the future? Time travel? How is that possible!"
Lindsey was also taken aback:
"You're a Seventh Stage Awakened, and you're not aware of the powerful ones' manipulation of time?"
Arona shook her head immediately:
"I've never heard of such a thing."
"..."
Arona and Lindsey locked eyes, the former's full of curiosity.
With her extensive adventuring experience, Lindsey quickly realized a possibility.
In Kang Song's era, after a long period of development, not only had the City of Law been established, but various factions had also flourished, including an understanding of time techniques.
However, in Arona's era, the City of Law had just been founded, and the first glimmer of time manipulation abilities had yet to emerge.
"In your era, has no one researched time-related abilities?"
"In your era, have people already developed time-related techniques?"
They asked different questions, each seeking the answers they needed from the other's inquiries.
After the initial surprise...
As a Seventh Stage Awakened, especially one specializing in rule abilities, Arona quickly accepted this reality.
"From the future, no wonder I've never felt this chaotic aura before. This is definitely a noteworthy experience."
Arona's gaze shifted to Lindsey, and she remarked:
"And the people of the future are truly remarkable."
"Even though many have thoughts like 'if only it had been different before' or 'if only it could be different in the future,' no one has ever managed to create techniques related to time."
Lindsey sighed in agreement:
"The creator of time-related abilities is indeed formidable. I was accidentally caught up in a conflict... Oh, and time-related abilities might not be exactly as you imagine them."
Lindsey explained to Arona the intricacies of time techniques:
"So, generally speaking, you don't need to worry about affecting the past or future."
Arona extended her right hand and clenched it in front of her eyes:
"I don't feel like a mere shadow of time; I'm living right here and now!"
As they conversed, Lindsey and Arona had already traversed the vast grasslands and reached the mountains beyond.
Lindsey casually activated the Freedom Seal, lifting Arona into the air alongside her, and they soared over the mountains.
"..."
The Seventh Stage Awakened was now flying through the air, held aloft by Lindsey.
He gazed at the ground below, gradually receding, and his thoughts began to stir.
"This is what it feels like to fly."
"Yeah, it's great. And if we can maintain this height advantage in combat against humans, it'd be a huge advantage..."
Lindsey's attention was not on Nolan.
As he soared over the mountains below, reaching the highest point, he gazed into the distant sky.
The Feathered Serpent Demon's body had long disappeared without a trace.
He opened his Strategic Map to confirm the direction the enemy had fled.
"Do you need my help?"
At that moment, Nolan, who was in Lindsey's hand, spoke up:
"I'm pretty good at tracking, too. If you lose sight of that big snake, I can help you locate it."
Lindsey nodded and then shook her head:
"I haven't lost track of it yet, but if I need help later, I'll definitely ask for your assistance."
Nolan shrugged:
"Okay, then."
"..."
Lindsey flew across the mountain range and landed, canceling the flight effect of the Freedom Seal.
Before them was a hilly area.
Ordinary people would have a hard time traveling through this terrain, but for an Awakened like Lindsey, there wasn't much difference between these hills and flat ground.
She leaped over ditches and mounds with ease.
Even slightly higher hills" were as nothing to her, not slowing her stride in the slightest.
As for the Feathered Serpent Demon ahead.
After crossing this mountain range, the beast showed no signs of slowing down. It continued to flee into the distance, now hidden behind a more remote mountain range.
Lindsey tried using her telescope but still struggled to spot the creature.
This beast had lost its sanity.
It was clearly terrified by the earlier attack, so much so that it continued to flee even without pursuit.
"By the way, Lindsey, I have a question for you." After landing, Nolan suddenly called out to Lindsey. "This world beneath our feet, this Grassland Plains, is bound to be extraordinary in the future, right?"
Lindsey was puzzled:
"What do you mean by that?"
Nolan smiled and shared his guess: "I don't think time travel is something that happens in some remote, far-off place. So, this Grassland Plains is either going to become a crucial strategic stronghold in the future, or it has some other special significance."
"Otherwise, you and that giant snake wouldn't have appeared in such a place."
Lindsey nodded in agreement with Nolan's guess:
"The future of this place is known as the City of Laws."
Nolan was astonished by this response:
"City of Laws! Ben's little village?"
"Wait! Are you saying that guy turned his Justice Son faction into a major power, even becoming a dominant force?"
"Yes, but not entirely," Lindsey corrected Nolan's guess. "The Righteous Ones of the City of Laws, together with their Law Paladins, formed one of the most powerful top-tier forces of our era, renowned throughout the universe."
"..."
It took Nolan a while to process this future.
He then thought of Ben's straightforward and self-assured demeanor and shook his head with a smile. He then asked about something he didn't quite understand:
"I think I understand what you mean by Righteous Ones, but Law Paladins? I've never heard of them. Can you explain them in more detail?"
"Puppets of Technique? Creations of the Righteous Ones?"
