Chapter 893: Lucky Star
Chapter 893: Lucky Star
Lindsey continued his inquiry.
"Since you don't intend to become the ruler of this city and world, after returning to the City of Law and restoring your identity, who among the current Righteous Executors do you favor to become the new sovereign?"
Yana Fien answered without hesitation, "Lord Lu Rui."
"The Walker's reputation has spread throughout the world, and the City of Law indeed needs a ruler who respects life."
As Lindsey and Yana Fien walked, they witnessed the actions of those who followed the Walker.
He was indeed a good man.
However, due to some experiences during their journey, Lindsey had a doubt.
The Walker had undoubtedly participated in the Blade Seizure War.
Then why did the White Steel Sword choose the stubborn Alice instead of this great man?
...
The night had to continue, and the journey wouldn't stop.
Early on the second day.
Lindsey and Yana Fien set off again.
The former maintained control over the distance from the carriage team, and the journey continued smoothly.
When the final 1/3 of the journey was over.
Standing on a small hill outside the capital of the City of Law, Lindsey and Yana Fien simultaneously peered out from the bushes.
Under the sun's radiance, a shimmering white city stood in the distance.
"..."
"Finally back."
"Lindsey, was I too unlucky, or were you too lucky?"
"When I left the City of Law ten years ago, things kept happening one after another. But after being rescued from Camp Mountain and returning here, it seems I haven't done anything too outrageous?"
Lindsey's gaze remained on the capital of the City of Law.
Once, he had looked out from within, and the scenery he saw could only be displayed on a map, lacking the true meaning of 'seeing.'
But from here, looking up.
Three towering walls protected the entire city.
At the end of his sight, he could only see the palace atop the mountain within the capital.
On the tall tower, the radiance of law and will soared into the clouds, emitting a brilliant glow outward, surrounded by white flags fluttering in the wind, with golden threads outlining the emblem of a thorned law sword.
The capital was right before their eyes.
Lindsey truly felt the oppressive aura the city exuded from an outsider's perspective.
It was an experience entirely different from the Seven Seas Alliance.
As he heard Yana Fien's sentiment about luck, Lindsey retracted his gaze and unconsciously checked his equipment panel. The Mystic Conch had this attribute:
[Lucky Star: Increases the equipment holder's luck.]
"Luck."
"I can't say for sure about other things, but I do have a bit more luck than the average person."
Yana Fien steered the conversation back on track:
"Lindsey, are you going to wait for your Law Guardian companion and then sneak into the city?"
"Let's solve your problem first," Lindsey pointed behind him. "A couple of days ago, as we were approaching our destination, I sped up, and their carriage is still some distance away."
"And to be honest, if you can reunite with that Heart's Edge, I won't have to trouble Xiao Bei to remove this Sinner Mark."
As Lindsey said this, he sent Yana Fien a friend request.
"Huh?"
The former princess hesitated.
Although she didn't know Lindsey as well as the other travelers, she was aware of the Codex of Human Wisdom. This wasn't too hard to accept.
Yana Fien didn't have Essence.
She spent some effort learning how to use the friend channel.
Yana Fien: "Lindsey, I promise. After meeting Adrian, I'll definitely explain your situation and help you remove the Sinner Mark."
Lindsey: "We'll use this to stay in touch."
Lindsey: "Just name a place in the city, and I'll be there."
Yana Fien: "Also, regarding your hometown, I'll ask Adrian about it. He's an Eighth Stage Righteous One, and the memories deep within his heart are unaffected by external influences. As long as the perpetrator of such evil isn't a Ninth Stage Awakened Being, he will definitely remember something!"
Lindsey: "In that case, I'm counting on you."
The two exchanged looks but continued their conversation through messages.
It was as if they were standing side by side yet insisted on texting each other.
Lindsey couldn't hold back any longer.
"Alright, let's just talk."
"The distance from here to the city gate isn't far, and you won't run into any trouble. I'll be hiding underground, so call me if you need anything."
Yana Fien nodded solemnly:
"Then let's begin."
Before Lindsey's eyes, the former Princess transformed, a complete metamorphosis.
Her brown eyes and black hair swapped colors, her facial structure and height changed, and her skin became fairer within seconds.
Yana Fien had a brand-new appearance.
A decade ago, the Princess who left the City of Law had altered her looks.
Countless people had seen her before.
At that time, Yana Fien, though naive, knew she couldn't travel with her original appearance.
Now, back to her original looks, Lindsey studied her.
Yana Fien's appearance wasn't breathtaking, but she was an ordinary girl-next-door. However, her experiences gave her a pair of unwavering eyes.
The spark in those eyes was unforgettable to anyone who saw them.
Lindsey carefully memorized her appearance:
"Since it's come to this, let's go."
"Huff—"
Yana Fien took a deep breath, then walked out of the forest, down the hill, and headed towards the Capital City of the City of Law alone.
Lindsey activated the Eternal Mark and sneaked underground.
He maintained a safe distance from the surface, ensuring he wouldn't be discovered, while also being able to protect Yana Fien above.
The City of Law was vast, and many people lived there.
Every day, countless people entered and exited.
Yana Fien blended into the crowd and steadily approached the city gate.
From morning to noon, after completing the city registration, she finally reached the former Princess.
The Law Guardian guards at the gate didn't recognize the Princess's appearance.
Perhaps ten years ago, he was just a guard, never having the chance to meet this prominent figure of the City of Law.
"What's your name?"
"Yana Fien..."
"What?!"
This was a conversation.
But from above the wall, a surprised voice echoed.
The owner of the voice was even too lazy to take the stairs, jumping down and landing with a dull thud.
"This name! Yana Fien?!"
A Law Guardian, resembling an older man, rushed to Yana Fien.
He recognized the girl's appearance and wanted to hold her hand, but ultimately stepped back and knelt on one knee:
"Your Highness! Is it really you? Your Highness!"
