My different world is game mode.

"This is...your hometown?"

Looking at the town below, Lindsay also felt a little emotional.

He opened the map and saw this small town hidden in the mountains. Most of the humans in it were marked in green, which meant that the residents here had a very good attitude towards outsiders.

In troubled times, this is a rare and precious situation.

"Alice, your hometown is really a nice place."

Alice thought about it, she nodded first, then shook her head:

“My hometown is really nice.”

"But technically, I was born in [the Capital of Law], I've just been here for as long as I can remember."

Lindsay noticed the description in the other person's words:

"I've been here for as long as I can remember - you rarely leave these mountains."

Alice nodded:

“Before stage five, I had never been out.”

"Law Knights can go to the [City of Law] to participate in the oath ceremony, but I am a righteous person, which is different in many ways."

While talking, Lindsay was also looking at the surrounding mountains.

During the two months since he came to the [City of Law], he once encountered an unexpected disaster that passed by his head.

The same is true for the nearby mountains, where traces of destruction left by craftsmanship can be seen.

But on the mountains surrounding the village, there were few such exaggerated war remnants. In particular, the [Golden Brome] developed by Lindsay also had a place nearby.

The strong adaptability of super crops has also been confirmed in the mountains.

At this time, Alice noticed Lindsay's eyes.

She mistakenly thought that the other party had noticed something else, and generously explained:

"My teacher implanted defense techniques into the surrounding mountains, so people can live a long and stable life here."

With Alice's explanation, Lindsay didn't have to look closely.

Clues of white light automatically emerged in the surrounding mountains.

[The Royal Domain - the skills of the Knights of Law were engraved into the mountains, dividing this place into a safe area, and the fighting stopped.]

"..."

"The protection of the law."

Alice was already walking down the mountain ahead, and Lindsay followed.

The skills in the mountains are measures to protect the town. As long as there is an attack, the skills will be activated. There is really nothing to hide.

As for this small town.

Their living resources are relatively simple to obtain. Food comes from hunting and the surrounding wheat fields. Their water sources come from the running water flowing through the mountains and wells drilled by skill.

The two gradually approached the town.

Lindsay's [Atmospheric Touch] began to take effect, and he could hear the sounds of children and adults walking around in the village from afar.

Although the residents here cannot be said to live a rich life, their lives are much better than those in the [City of Law] where they are frugal with food and can only barely make ends meet.

In Lindsay's imagination, today is the day when Alice returns to her hometown.

But the actual situation was somewhat different from his guess.

Before Alice and I entered the town, the sentinels inside spotted us first, and then there was a burst of discussion:

"Be careful, someone is coming down the mountain."

"Who is coming to us?"

"No! That's not right! Look carefully, look at that figure!"

"She is...Sister Alice?"

As soon as the words fell, several strong adult guards rushed over. They ignored Lindsay and surrounded Alice first.

That look was as if he was looking at a hero who had won the war and was returning home.

"Sister Alice, you're finally back!"

"Where have you been all these years? Everyone thought you stayed in the [Capital of Law], but after trying their best to get information, they said they couldn't find you!"

“We all missed you so much!”

People gathered around Alice.

The former upright girl looked at the strange yet familiar faces around her. She was stunned for a moment before she realized the identities of these people nearby:

"Xiaoyi, Alsoso, Smir?"

"You... it's you! You've all grown up."

Lindsay outside the crowd also suddenly realized.

10 years!

For high-level awakeners, it may not be too long.

But for ordinary people or those who are awakened at a low stage, especially children 10 years ago, these years are enough for them to grow up.

So when Alice returned to the camp.

The children she once taught and protected carefully have become pillars of the town.

Although as adults they can't do anything too extreme.

But the trust and longing that still exist in their eyes also show that some unchanging things are still hidden in people's hearts.

"I, I've got some problems."

"It was after going through some things that I finally came back here."

After a brief explanation, Alice said to Lindsay behind her:

"Lindsay, wait here for a moment."

"I'll go to the village first and tell everyone about your situation, otherwise it would be bad if any misunderstandings were caused."

Messages were sent to the friend channel at the same time.

Alice: [Lindsay, there are quite a few Law Knights in this town. I'll go in and inform them first. This will save a lot of trouble.]

Lindsay: [I have no problem. It's rare for you to come back to your hometown, so spend some quality time with everyone.]

In reality, Lindsay watched Alice being herded into the camp by the crowd.

The townspeople were very friendly.

Trust, love, and heartfelt admiration all told him one fact - Alice was the center of the entire town.

People focused their eyes and hopes on the girl.

This was not the power of a righteous person, or the aura brought by being a student of a leader, but because of Alice's actions here, people supported her from the bottom of their hearts.

"Those who do the right thing."

“Paranoia is both troublesome and evil when it comes.”

"But if this persistence can be used for good, then it would be the best thing."

While Lindsay was sighing, Alice was also surrounded by people and returned to the town.

News of her return spread through the town.

No matter they were awakened or ordinary people, anyone who had spoken to Alice would come and meet her again.

Among them was a Law Knight that Alice was familiar with, who had even advanced to the sixth stage.

"Xiaobei, congratulations!"

"Alice, I'm glad you're back."

"By the way, Xiaobei, let me tell you something. Lindsay outside is my companion, and he has..."

Alice naturally informed everyone about Lindsay's situation.

After hearing this, most of the law knights in the town nodded in agreement and did not raise any issues.

After explaining these things.

Alice asked with some trepidation what she was worried about:

"By the way, where's the teacher?"

"Why can't I sense his source information? Is he not here?"

"..."

Alice's question caused everyone around them to fall into silence.

People stood facing each other, and there was silence for a few seconds before someone spoke to Alice:

"Alice, you don't know the whereabouts of the adults?"

"Ever since you left together ten years ago, he has never come back!"
