Chapter 876: Surrender
The next day at noon, Lindsay was preparing lunch in the house.

He heard footsteps approaching outside the house, and almost at the same time as the door opened, he looked over with foresight:

"Alice, are you back?"

Alice went out in the morning to discuss future travel plans with people in the town.

Now, after a whole morning of discussion, they finally returned to their residence.

"Lindsay, the news is pretty good!"

"Although I haven't seen you for ten years, everyone I know is still as gentle and kind as ever..."

Alice's voice was full of nostalgia.

She sat in the living room, stretched her back and relaxed her body before continuing:
"The town can provide us with supplies for the journey, as well as a carriage. In return, we will provide security for the team."

"That's strange." Lindsay carried the food and placed it in front of Alice. "If in other worlds, a sixth-stage Law Knight providing protection is almost the highest level of security. Why would they need our kind of combat power?"

Alice shook her head and took the bread that Lindsay pushed over to her:

"There's nothing we can do. This is the war in the world's main city."

Lindsay followed and sat opposite:

"Will other awakened people who own the world's main city encounter this problem?"

Alice answered without thinking:
"Of course it's the City of Platinum."

"When conflicts of interest arise between merchants, they go crazy and start a war that is even more severe than the [City of Law]. Especially since they don't have a king who symbolizes stability, when the monopolists and the financial king take action, there will always be a violent and terrible riot."

"..."

"Those guys really fit my impression of them."

Lindsay sighed, and Alice immediately expressed a different opinion:
"You can't generalize. Some businessmen also have conscience."

"It's just that they are rare compared to the more common merchants."

Hear what Alice said.

The merchant girl's face also appeared before Lindsay's eyes.

"Alini..."

The adventure of [Forest Garden] was an experience more than 4 years ago.

I don’t know what kind of situation my good friend who made a name for himself by selling stockings is in now?
Alice poured a glass of water for Lindsay who was thinking:

"What are you thinking about?"

Lindsay took the cup:

"I have a friend."

Alice asked:
"merchant?"

Lindsay nodded in affirmation:

"He is a businessman and a good friend, the kind of businessman you mentioned who is extremely rare."

"You're really lucky." Alice answered casually and then got back to the point. "Before we set off, we also need to make our own plan."

"Lindsay, the two of us move very quickly. We can cross half the world in a month and a half. But this time, Xiaobei is going to take the newly awakened children in the town to the [Capital of Law], so we must consider slowing down..."

Alice told her plan.

Although those who do the right thing attack each other.

But in the consensus of all forces, the nobility of the [City of Law] is beyond doubt, which is also the reason why it is spared from war.

Under this premise.

These people are likely to become awakened members of the Knights of Law, and are naturally considered important needs of the [City of Law]. Usually, no one will launch an attack on them.

It's just that the world right now isn't 'normal'.

Someone always needs strength.

If you can absorb the young awakened people whose values ​​have not yet been stabilized into your own forces.

For this reason, some people are willing to take risks.

Lindsay certainly had no objection to providing protection. But after listening to Alice's plan, he still raised a more cautious concern:

"Alice, the plan is basically fine."

"But now that we are helping to send people to the [City of Law], there will always be unexpected events when we encounter other human teams on the way. If we suddenly encounter them, or even if there happens to be a Law Knight in their team..."

Alice knew what Lindsay meant without him having to say anything more:
"You're right. Others are not as easy to convince as Xiaobei."

"The mark of the world's great enemy - this is enough reason for them to take the initiative to attack. But you have no way to cover up this mark..."

Alice herself had no way to hide this mark.

While she was thinking, Lindsay, who had more adventure experience, had already made plans:

"Alice, what I need to do now is to prevent the Knights of Law from discovering this mark."

"But in fact, this issue can be thought of from another angle."

"I just let others see it on purpose, but I don't think I can be a threat to them!"

Alice understood immediately:
"You mean to let Xiaobei transport you as a prisoner!"

"This way, even if a Law Knight discovers you, as long as we escort you to the [City of Law] normally, they will have no reason to attack."

Alice:
"But if too many people know that we are escorting prisoners, and the news spreads, it may also attract the attention of the [City of Law]..."

Lindsay added:

"If I met an ordinary person, I could claim that I was cursed."

"If I have enough time, I can avoid the Knights of Law. Being flexible can always reduce trouble."

Alice nodded in agreement:
"Then it's settled."

"..."

The day of departure arrived in a blink of an eye.

In addition to Lindsay and Alice, there were only six people in the village who embarked on this journey, including the Law Knights who provided them with protection.

In the entire village, a total of 5 young people became awakened this year.

But they are not all.

Some older people in the town also awakened at the same time.

But most of them would rather have a stable life and learn some simple skills, and are unwilling to embark on this long adventure.

Wait until the carpenter has finished building the three carts that will carry them.

Lindsay and Alice used one, and the remaining six people divided it equally into two, and then they set out on their journey to the [City of Law].

Walking out of the mountains, Lindsay looked back from time to time.

The town hidden in the mountains cannot be called a super town, with a total population of about a thousand people.

In a town of this population, double-digit numbers of people can awaken on a single harvest day.

This probability is also very good.

While driving, Lindsay couldn't help but say to Alice next to him:

"Living in the main city of the world, being influenced, the probability of awakening is indeed higher than in the ordinary world."

Alice smiled and shook her head:

"The probability is not a little higher."

"There are even some worlds with convenient transportation that will specifically bring children to the world's main city on [Payday] to increase their chances of successfully awakening."

Lindsay sighed:
"But anyway, it's just luck after all."

"After all, even if the child of an awakener receives long-term help from his parents, he may not be able to awaken successfully."

Alice's tone was complicated:
"Who says it's not?"

"The disparity and injustice of the world are revealed from this moment..."
