Chapter 879: The Topic from Three Years Ago
Alice was recognized.
Since he was playing the role of a prisoner, Lindsey didn't take direct action but instead signaled to Alice, who was standing beside him.
The once-righteous maiden jumped down from the carriage and took two to three steps towards Eris:
"Mr. Eris, there's no need to be so surprised to see me. I'm originally from the Realm of Law, and after ten years, it's surprising that you still remember me."
The messenger examined the maiden before him, his eyes filled with curiosity.
"You're being humble."
"The Blade Seizure War affects the entire world's direction, and every participant is crucial. As a messenger, I've always paid attention, and I remember clearly the names and appearances of everyone from that day."
"Speaking of which, Miss Alice, where have you been these past ten years?"
Alice slightly shook her head, "It's a bit self-praising, but we messengers are well-informed. In the past ten years, I haven't heard your name at all."
Alice shook her head gently, "Due to some unexpected circumstances, I was thrown into another world and had to work hard to return to the Realm of Law."
Next, Alice was about to ask the messenger in front of her if he had seen her teacher.
But seeing Abe behind her and the people in the town who firmly believed that her teacher would return, Alice chose to remain silent.
She decided to wait until they were on the road and then ask about her teacher's information under the cover of the carriage's running noise:
"Mr. Eris, the next village is only about half a day's journey away, not too far. If you want, you can catch up with us."
"Then, thank you!" The messenger expressed his gratitude. The crimson phoenix parrot on his shoulder mimicked, "Thank you very much, thank you very much."
After a brief exchange, the carriage team set off again.
However, to conceal the skill details, this time Alice held the reins and drove the carriage from the front. Lindsey closed his eyes and leaned against the back of the cart, feigning disinterest in conversation.
"This gentleman..."
The messenger's gaze rested on Lindsey.
As expected, he quickly noticed the handcuffs and made a guess about Lindsey's situation.
Silently, he moved closer to Alice and whispered, keeping his distance from Lindsey, "Miss Alice, is this prisoner someone you caught?"
"His Essence Skill is restricted."
Alice shook her head, "I can't reveal the details."
The messenger didn't press further but immediately changed the subject, "Then let's talk."
"Miss Alice, you've also been away from the Realm of Law for ten years. There must be a lot you want to know, right?"
Alice glanced at the messenger beside her.
This awakened messenger, in addition to delivering letters and items, also served as an intelligence broker.
It was natural for him to promote his services at this time:
"I don't have the currency of the Realm of Law."
"Then let's exchange information." The messenger replied without hesitation, "Although we have ways to contact the outside world, we can't use them freely. Tell me about the situation out there."
Alice nodded, "That's no problem. Let me think."
"I came from the Dust Path World, where warlords are in control, and the situation is quite chaotic. Further out, the Mooncry Mountain Range, has even turned into a wasteland, and people are rebuilding their homes in the ruins..."
Alice carefully selected what she could tell the messenger.
In the bustling city of Law City, Eris, usually upbeat, now wears a grave expression, mirrored even by the parrot on his shoulder.
"Mutants, Demon Gods, and the Abyss Academy..."
"The order in Realm of Law is already on the brink of collapse, and now we have these new threats."
Alice reminds him, "This isn't just about Law City."
"The Abyss Academy targets all living creatures, and the Demon God is a common enemy of all Awakened beings. You should understand the significance of this."
The messenger pats the little parrot on his shoulder, "Yes, not only should we be aware, but we must also inform our friends outside."
"A forgotten enemy from history resurfaces..."
At this point, a smile returns to the messenger's face.
"Miss Alice, I suddenly have a premonition."
"We, who are involved in this incident, may have become part of a historical event, or even a crucial, decisive factor in an epic tale."
The messenger speaks with utmost confidence.
Alice glances at Lindsey, lying inside the carriage.
The messenger, with his ability to make cross-realm connections, doesn't find his attitude surprising.
Instead, Alice asks a different question, "Mr. Eris, do you think that with the news of such a formidable enemy spreading, there's a chance Law City might reopen its teleportation system due to this?"
Alice's question catches the messenger off guard.
After a moment's thought, he responds, "That's right! You've been away from this world for ten years and have never visited Law City, so it's understandable that you'd be unaware of this."
Alice raises an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
The messenger smiles, "I can tell you a secret, or rather, a common knowledge among all Awakened beings in Law City."
"Two years, or rather, three years ago, the Seven Seas Alliance, which had never shown any interest, suddenly submitted an application to Law City to restore its teleportation system."
Alice first considers this from the perspective of the World Capital, "So, with this change in sovereignty, the Seven Seas Alliance wants to get involved?"
"It's common knowledge that World Capitals don't interfere with each other."
Artists are known for doing the unexpected.
Especially with Law City's internal turmoil, the longest in its history.
If there's a playwright who, through a destiny script, realizes the significance of this incident, especially with the Royal Artifact undergoing major changes.
It's hard to guarantee.
What if there's a 'Spiritually Sensitive' fallen artist who comes to Law City to create some 'art'?
Alice's concern is met with a dismissive smile from the messenger.
"Miss Alice, you're overthinking this."
"The Seven Seas Alliance's negotiation with Law City is an official move, not a personal one."
Alice, still puzzled, asks, "What's the situation? Any progress?"
The messenger explains openly, even raising his voice so those in the two carriages ahead can hear him, "But as far as I know, the Law Guardians of Law City are very supportive of restoring connections. After all, the prolonged war has severely drained the world's essence, and the supply of external resources is much needed..."
