Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 945 947: One Year

"Yes~." Amelia sighed.

It has been more than a year since Samuel and Riya's departure to the other world.

The peaceful atmosphere of the Green Planet was mostly because the other returnees had stopped making trouble. And those who usually cooperated with them had left the Green Planet.

The rest?

Well, Amelia barely knew about it but Arnold still managed to figure out some things. For one, he was also helping Ruben because that man was swamped with work and nearly didn't have enough time to study runes. And another reason was because he himself had connection with many other people from various parts of the world.

The mercenaries have all split up after the world changed.

They were no longer staying at the previous border but basically become traveler who moved from one place to another.

Arnold still kept their contact information, including his brother.

Thanks to this, he managed to figure out the movements of the returnees along with some strange unfounded rumors.

Rumors about the returnees...

For the three returnees on Continent Y, Arnold mostly heard about how they clashed against each other. It was not to the point of fighting, but it was obvious that they could not get along peacefully.

All of them had advanced to rank 7 and it was unknown if they had made any improvement again.

After all, other advancements were not as noisy as the advancement to rank 7. These people would be able to hide it if they wanted to, thus preventing others from knowing their real ranks.

Even though advancing again within a year seemed outrageous...

But these people were all people with the highest talent in the entire world and Arnold didn't think that it would be impossible for them to advance to rank 8 since they were basically able to get a lot of resources from the crack.

The cracks in Continent Y remained open.

It was more like they couldn't close it and the people who could seal it off were all away from the Green Planet.

The others couldn't even be asked for help.

In a way, they actually look quite pitiful...

*cough*

When Arnold and Ruben were discussing Continent Y, the two of them will definitely show the look of pity.

Because it was really...

"Continent Y did want to ask for help, but the other returnees are not willing to help. Besides, the officials are worried that if they went to other continents, they would not have the chance to go back." Ruben shrugged.

The incident with Ruth had left a deep mark in the mind of these officials.

They knew very well that the existences of a relatively kindhearted returnee could be said to be a blessing.

And this blessing was concentrated on Continent Z.

Even if there were troublemakers like Murin, it was still somewhat acceptable because the other returnees were still willing to work.

Even someone like Dina who was a bit unpleasant in her way of doing things was still much better in their eyes.

If they had to compare...

The returnees in Continent Z were among the top favorites.

And the people from Continent Y could be said to be among the worst.

Even after the deadline was almost up, these people were still unwilling to step forward and help their continent.

They didn't know what they were preoccupied about, but these three returnees had never made public appearances anymore.

Arnold knew that they were still alive.

But the details and so on remained a mystery even for his friends who have been going to various places all over the world. They didn't know the details and only some rumors about these three returnees.

For this matter, Arnold could only sigh.

He knew very well that it would be difficult for him to get more information from other people even if he wanted to.

"And there's no need to focus on Continent Y," Ruben added when Arnold was curious. "If you want to worry about something, you better worry about the returnee from Continent X. They said that he basically sealed off the entire island and prevent anyone from getting close or they will be killed."

At the very least the returnee from Continent Y simply ignored other people.

They traveled across the land, moving from one place to another and didn't care about the magic beasts around.

Their goal?

No one knew.

And they also didn't bother trying to ask these two people because everyone was sure that they would never answer.

These two people didn't have the obligation to answer their question either.

But the returnee from Continent X, Pena, basically attacked anyone who dared to get close to the island. It was as if he was declaring that the entire island would be off limits for others.

This made some people angry.

But what could they do?

Fight?

If they dared to fight against Pena, everyone was absolutely sure that they would definitely suffer a lot.

Because Pena is a necromancer and as long as he has enough mana, he could resurrect his entire soldiers and let them protect him almost all the time. In order to attack him, they would need a lot of firepower that could withstand his repeated beatings and so on.

Not many people could do that.

And Continent X didn't want to engage in civil strive when there was only less than a year left before the passage to the other world opened.

At that time, it was unknown how the world will fare.

So they could only swallow their losses quietly.

The only good thing is that they still have Leon who was willing to help them by producing a lot of weapons.

Speaking about weapons, Leon's skills were basically acknowledged by the entire world. Though selling these weapons, Continent X ended up managing to get a lot of resource they needed from other continent.

City A Base was also among the people who traded with them.

What they traded was naturally their food.
