Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 972 974: Reunion

"Can you tell me more of what had happened in the past year?" Riya asked as she stood on the deck, her eyes flickered slightly as she looked at one direction.

Someone was watching.

And that direction...

'Does those returnees from Continent Y didn't have anything better to do?'

Even though Riya had guessed that the one who watched over this place were people from Continent Y, Riya didn't think that they would still do this even now.

Couldn't they focus to train?

The magic beasts during the grand magic beasts' tide would not spare them without reasons. In fact, Riya felt that many people might end up dying just because they were at the wrong place and wrong time when the grand magic beast's tide happened.

In the previous magic beasts' tide, the casualties were limited because most people were still protected.

But in such a grand a prolonged battle...

Riya was not sure whether it would be the same.

She turned her eyes away.

Since those people didn't try to make a move, then Riya would not do anything to them either. After all, there was no one who would punish someone just because they were watching.

It was their right to watch other people and Riya didn't want to bother in unnecessary squabble.

'It's just a bit unpleasant.'

Thinking about Murin who also came when she first advanced to rank 7, Riya's eyes darkened slightly. All returnees were people who were ambitious and mostly selfish. They might have their own selflessness and also care for others...

But it's limited.

Otherwise, they would have long died when they were in Afirer Kingdom.

Because people who were too kind, if they were not able to differentiate when they were being tricked and when someone truly needed their help, what awaited them would be their deaths.

The people in Afirer Kingdom were more diverse.

And the existence of magic and magic beasts just made the hierarchy between the strong and the weak even more prominent.

'Forget it, just focus on what had happened in the past year.'

The soldiers who heard Riya's request also quickly replied, "Yes!"

Through these soldiers, Riya knew that the situation was relatively stable and the other returnees were all preparing for their departure.

Or well...

It was more like all continents were getting along harmoniously one way or another. Even though Riya was not entirely sure how they managed to achieve that, but she had to say that the threat of the grand magic beast' tide truly worked wonder.

It was not like she wanted to put the Green Planet in danger.

But having a common enemy really allowed these continents to work together and disregarded their differences in some areas.

Of course, Riya was absolutely sure that their political discussion should have been quite brutal and was filled with a lot of calculation and arguments.

For the nth time, Riya was glad that she didn't have to participate in such a thing.

Even if she's a returnee and her status was high because of her ability, the higher ups didn't want her to get involved too much in politics.

This was actually also what Riya wanted.

For this reason, she ignored these people when she was in City A Base and let Samuel and the Jones Family do what they wanted.

The information from these soldiers were mostly things that Riya could easily find out from the internet and so on. After all, their position would not allow them to have access to any core information.

And Riya believed that with her ability... she really didn't need to know such details.

She couldn't understand many things related to politics either way, so knowing those things would be utterly useless for her.

Besides what Riya wanted to know the most is about her friend.

So when they reached the island, she paid a visit to Claire for a brief period and upon seeing the other party, Riya's lips twitched. She looked at Claire's stomach with an incredulous expression.

"Haha... I'm married now," Claire explained weakly.

Claire had heard about these returnees' return one by one, but she didn't really have the status to know much about them.

Even if she inquired, the information she could get was limited.

Her family has some backings and with Claire being Leon's wife, she should have been able to get more information.

Unfortunately, any information about the returnees have been classified as extremely confidential information.

The communication between the continents have been restored.

Not only that, each continents were also working hard together in order to prepare for the grand magic beasts' tide.

Many people actually already knew about the magic beast's tide.

But no continent ever explained in details what's so different about this grand magic beasts' tide.

They didn't want to cause unrest among the people.

After everyone had worked hard in order to rebuild their lives, they couldn't really bear to destroy it once again.

Many people were ordinary people who never understood the complicated matter of the higher ups.

All they wanted was to have enough food to eat, shelter to rest, and also a relatively peaceful neighborhood to live happily.

They didn't want much.

Or it was more like... many of them didn't have the qualification to ask for more in such a dangerous world.

In this situation, the higher ups didn't want to make them panic.

So the information was held back.

Still, some people were still able to get information about the unusual magic beast' tide that was about to come on the Green Planet and were secretly making a move.

Claire's family was among them.

Due to their connection with the returnee, they even knew more.

But for other classified information, it was impossible to know so much.

And Claire has been worried for her friend, so when she heard about the returnee's return, she has been waiting for Riya to come back.

It took her a long time to finally hear about Riya.
