Successors of all mankind

"So how long ago was that?"

"It's been several days!"

Several days have passed? Several days have passed, and Shenji is still going crazy like this?!

Hahaha, humans above, what the hell is this?!

At the same time, he answered Anna with a smile:

"I've never even heard of it!"

Then he tried to get more information out of the door.

However, the other party did not provide any useful information at all.

All they knew was that a kind benefactor had passed by and fixed their magic device.

And that was it.

Seeing this, Anna whispered:

"I can control them at any time!"

The traveler declined the other party's offer:

"On someone else's turf? No, that won't do, Anna!"

After a brief moment of thought, the traveler did something that shocked both his companions and the gate.

In front of them, he removed a human skin mask.

His handsome face was revealed behind the mask.

Upon seeing that face, Damen cowered and crawled on the ground.

"My lord, please forgive me, I did not know you were a distinguished person!"

"It's alright, ignorance is no excuse, Robespierre won't hold it against you!"

The traveler helped the gate up, but what truly stunned the gate was the name.

Robespierre?!

The traveler also accurately captured this point.

Is it related to Robespierre?

Our people? How could that be!

A moment later, he immediately became serious and said:

"Sir, it seems that one of my kinsmen has run into some trouble nearby, so do you know his whereabouts?"

The gate hesitated.

He didn't know whether he should tell the truth or not, since the slaves, Nor, had asked them to remain silent, and even the nobleman wanted them to say that he had never seen him again.

But now, the other side is also Robespierre!

Moreover, they accurately described the noble person's plight, so were they there specifically to find the noble person?

Daimon still remembers the dire situation Yu Le was in because he was all alone.

He was almost dismembered by the black market dealers, but was rescued by a group of third-rate people...

If I don't speak up, wouldn't I be harming the important person?

After a brief struggle, the gatekeeper decided to give it another try:

"Are you saying that one of your kind has appeared in our vicinity? May I ask what he looks like? Perhaps we have seen him?"

How do I answer that?

The traveler knew this was a test from the other party, but how could he answer it flawlessly?

And it has to be fast, so as not to make things strange.

So the traveler picked up the human skin mask, placed it flat on the same level as himself, and said to the gate:

"Just like us!"

People will always see what they want to see.

The traveler had no better option than to follow Anna's suggestion.

But upon seeing the human skin mask he mentioned, Daimon, suddenly realizing what was happening, immediately said:

"So that's how it is! Ah, sir, Lord Jules Robespierre did indeed come here!"

No wonder Lord Jules doesn't seem like a nobleman, now I understand!

Jules Robespierre?

The traveler, who hadn't expected to win the bet, took off his mask and laughed.

It's getting more and more interesting.

Because they were certain that Yu Le and they were together.

Therefore, the gatekeeper informed the other party of everything in great detail.

The other party became increasingly alarmed as they listened.

"You mean he repaired the Divine Machine, allowing the Machine Spirit to rejoice to this day. Our servant Nor also fairly upheld the law in judging the Divine Machine, severely punishing the Hudson family? And then, and then..."

At this point, the traveler was somewhat at a loss for words to recount such an exaggerated story.

"And then he even got into the Windsor family's carriage? Hahaha, humans above! He's actually safe and sound! Thank goodness!"

He was also of noble birth, but for the first time, he was 'smiling at his own bloodline'.

Especially since other people are also 'Robespierre'!

His female companion, in alarm, tugged at his sleeve repeatedly, saying:

"Wait, wait, wait, why do I feel like this looks a bit like it?"

The traveler responded with a smile:

"It's not just a little bit, it seems like it is!"

Then they heard from the gate that Joy had been attacked by a dragon, and that the slave Nor claimed that Jules Robespierre had been killed in the dragon's flames.

And they were all asked to remain silent about it.

This immediately made the traveler's heart tighten.

If it were true, how could a dragon possibly harm its opponent? Especially since the tribune of the House of Windsor is still alive!

"And now? Where is he now?"

Daimon originally intended to say that Yule would come to see them later.

Seeing the traveler's behavior, he became more cautious and followed Yu Le's instructions:

"I'm sorry, sir, we haven't seen Lord Jules since then. We're very worried about his safety!"

The traveler regretfully returned to his original seat.

Then he kept thinking about what exactly was going on.

Finally, he had a flash of inspiration.

Ah, it wasn't that he died from the dragon's attack, but that this message should be concealed under the dragon's flames!

He tossed his cloth bag to the gatekeeper:

"Thank you for letting me know. This is a thank-you gift for you. We're leaving now."

As he spoke, he straightened up and said to his female companion:

"Anna, the adventure is over, we need to go home immediately!"

He then strode towards the door, but before leaving, he turned back and gave a final instruction:

“If I were you, and if you really wanted to help, then power on the machine and continue supplying the raw materials every day!”

"Don't be stingy, the stuff in that bag we gave you is enough for you to use until you die!"

Chapter 15 Heading to the Capital

Seeing the traveler getting up to leave, the gatekeeper looked somewhat bewildered and said:

"Sir, are you leaving already?"

He instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

The other person didn't stop, but they did answer him:

"Yes, I must return home as soon as possible."

"And what about Lord Jules?"

Upon hearing this name, he finally stopped and said:

"That's why we need to go back to our country as soon as possible. Also, Mr. Daimon, right? We'll be leaving soon. You guys stay here and restore Shenji's power, and then everything will be back to normal."

"Of course, you haven't seen us, and we haven't seen you. Remember this!"

“You’re very smart; you should know that this is the safest way.”

After saying this, the traveler and his companion quickly left settlement number 386.

On the way, Anna couldn't help but ask:

"What exactly are you planning to do? Isn't going back like this too hasty? After all, we're not even sure what happened. What if it's just a funny misunderstanding?"

After all, they had only heard about this from a third-class person.

Although there is divine intervention as evidence.

But the world is too big, and accidents always happen.

"Anna, have you ever considered that if not, then the entire world order is about to change, and we're just watching it all happen?"

“I am a son of Robespierre, and I must face all risks, especially such alarming risks.”

After the traveler finished speaking, he stopped, stood in the night breeze, and turned back to smooth Anna's hair, which was disheveled by the wind.

"If it really is a misunderstanding, then it's just another amusing anecdote to add to our adventure, one that we can laugh about with our descendants!"

Finally, the traveler placed his hand on Anna's slightly flushed and hot cheek, and said earnestly:

"Finally, thank you for being willing to travel with me all this time, and even for being willing to continue walking with me."

The other person flinched slightly out of shyness, but did not pull away from the hand; instead, they pressed themselves against it even more gently.

"Who told me I am your knight? From the day you chose me, I was destined to be with you until death."

"It was you who chose me, Anna!"

The other person lowered their head even further, but the traveler suddenly withdrew their hand and said:

"Therefore, the only person I can unconditionally trust is you, Anna. Now I ask you to go back to the country first in my place."

"what?"

Anna looked at the traveler in astonishment, but the traveler said with a serious expression:

“It would be too slow if we all went back. You are my knight, and you can go back and contact the people who need to be contacted in my place. Anna, we don't just need to send a message back, so one of us has to go back!”

"As for me, I will stay and then head to the capital of Albion."

"Don't worry, don't worry, there's no danger. I'll just reveal my identity and have the nobles of Albion escort me. Finally, I'll stay at the Albion embassy."

“This way, I can monitor Albion's movements at any time. And you, you also brought the message back to Francesnia and made people take it seriously!”

It sounds like there are no problems at all.

However, Anna was still a little worried and said:

"But you've never left me."

This amused the traveler, who remarked:

“Oh, Anna, you are my knight, not my mother. I have been away from you for many years!”
