Chapter 915: Meeting with the Fugitive
Chapter 915: Meeting with the Fugitive
"..."
Alice's response left Lindsey silent.
Meanwhile, Alice continued speaking in the friends channel.
Alice: 【I understand. You want to ask about the whereabouts of the mechanical species you protected in the past era.】
Lindsey: 【Exactly.】
Alice: 【I'm sorry, but at least during my active years, I never heard any news about them. Lindsey, don't worry. I can help you ask around among the residents of the City of Law.】
Lindsey: 【Alice, if I can get in touch with that mechanical race, after so many years of development, they will surely become a significant asset to me!】
Alice: 【But it's been too long.】
Alice: 【If we can't find any leads among the refugees who escaped from the City of Law, then we can only search for clues in the library of the City of Law or seek the artisans.】
Lindsey: 【Please do that for me.】
Lindsey closed the friends channel and turned to look behind him.
His gaze pierced through the city walls, finally resting on the City of Law, shrouded by layers of thorns.
He wanted to go to the library to search for information.
avoided the crowd and headed straight for the library.
The problem of unsealing the Thorn Necklace was identical to the one he had just solved.
So now, the only feasible option was to find the artisans and inquire about the situation.
"Artisans..."
"Where should I go to find them now? Perhaps among the refugees who escaped from the City of Law, there might be Awakened ones from other worlds?"
Lindsey turned around and headed away from the City of Law.
However, instead of going to the east side to meet with Alice, he moved further north towards a more distant city.
The sinner mark on his body remained a constant nuisance.
For now, it would be better to first retrieve the Law Knight, Xiao Bei, and study the mark together to find a way to remove it.
As Lindsey walked, he opened the strategic map.
The characteristic of the strategic map was that no matter how far away, as long as he opened the map, he could immediately check the locations. Lindsey scanned through several pitch-black worlds and found a glimmer of light.
"The Rift World is still there, and the Rogue Mechanoids' underground base..."
Lindsey furrowed his brows.
In the uranium mine pit he remembered, the underground base of the Rogue Mechanoids was now empty, and the buildings he had photographed had vanished without a trace.
It seemed like this race had been completely annihilated.
However, on Lindsey's attribute panel, the Rogue Mechanoids still occupied a city's position.
"The specific information about the city's buildings must be obtained in the city hall."
"I can't confirm it now."
Several possibilities came to Lindsey's mind.
First, certain concepts or rule abilities might restrict the existence of mechanical species. Based on Lindsey's understanding of Awakened ones, those who had reached the eighth stage of Essence Skill would undoubtedly possess the ability to do so.
The second possibility was more far-fetched.
Perhaps the mechanical species in the Rift World, with the template provided by Lindsey, had achieved an incredibly rapid development!
Under the guidance of technological thinking.
As technology continued to break through, the progress would be astonishing.
After tens of thousands of years.
The mechanical race in the Rift World might have advanced to an unimaginable height, leading to the entire race ascending and completely leaving this universe!
"If the latter is indeed the case..."
"In the future, if I encounter an exceptionally tricky problem, can I still hope for a mechanical deity to come to my rescue?"
Lindsey smiled and shook his head.
Regarding the Rogue Mechanoids
Lin Sai, having made his decision to help, was more driven by morality and conscience than by the promise of a powerful move.
Even if he didn't get the expected outcome, it wasn't a big deal.
"Technology..."
"If I had the chance, I'd love to see what it looks like."
"Perhaps the urban center of the artisans will offer a glimpse of such a scene?"
Lindsey adjusted his mindset and continued toward the outskirts of the city.
...
On the other side.
After Alice's departure, the Law Guardian in the carriage couldn't possibly remain idle like before.
They discussed briefly and immediately drove the carriage toward the City of Law.
At this moment, the night had not yet ended.
On the dark horizon, they hadn't spotted the walls of the City of Law when they first noticed a figure rapidly approaching them.
"Be careful, someone's coming this way."
"It's fine."
"We're already within the City of Law's sphere of influence. Heart's Edge has already cleaned up the surrounding area."
The atmosphere in the carriage remained harmonious.
As the messenger had explained, they were already within the City of Law's jurisdiction. With the Law Guardian's routine purges and maintenance of order, thieves and bandits were almost non-existent.
Even when they noticed someone approaching in the evening, those in the carriage didn't exhibit excessive vigilance. Instead, they showed more curiosity.
The person approaching was naturally Lin Sai, who had already changed his appearance.
Due to the sinner mark on his body, Law Guardian Xiao Bei could immediately recognize him, and even with his altered appearance, it wasn't an issue.
What he needed to do now was to think about his conversational skills.
Then, he took Xiao Bei to the underground of the City of Law to try and remove his sinner mark.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Lin Sai, who thought this trip would be a breeze, hadn't even had the chance to react when he noticed the parrot on the messenger's shoulder suddenly flapping its wings:
"Be careful! Be careful!" The white parrot almost shrieked in warning, "It's his scent, it's his scent! That fugitive!"
"Eris, take him down!"
"..."
Lindsey fell silent.
His current physique and appearance had already changed, but the magical beast seemed to sense his identity through its unique sense of smell.
"Magical beast..."
The Law Guardian in the carriage also hurriedly spoke to the Law Guardian beside him.
He trusted the information provided by his animal friend, and his words were resolute:
"Mr. Bei, this guy is the fugitive you let go!"
"He shape-shifted and came right in front of us."
"..."
The Law Guardian, caught in the middle, looked at Eris and then at Lin Sai across from him.
Currently, Alice wasn't by his side.
He wasn't sure whether he should continue helping Lin Sai maintain his identity or let everything come to light. Seeing the Law Guardian's expression, Lin Sai naturally wouldn't let him struggle.
He took a step forward and spoke directly:
"That's right, it's me, Lin Sai!"
"But this time, I'm not here to cause you trouble. Instead, I'm here to give you a warning!"
Eris immediately responded with mockery:
"Do you think we'd believe a fugitive's words?"
Lin Sai pointed behind him:
"Whether you believe my words or not, it doesn't matter."
"But use your abilities as an Awakened One to sense the situation behind us, in the City of Law, right now."
"That place has become a desperate battleground, and no one can enter!"
