It had been close to a month since Snarr arrived at Chaos City, and he had been searching for Alex this entire time.
However, a piece of shocking news had arrived from Rodu a few days ago. Alex was still alive, and had slain four 10th-tier powerful beings on his own, including the patriarch of the spatial demon race, Benson.
This was a piece of news that the entire continent had never expected, including Snarr, who was searching for Alex in Chaos City.
During his three years of investigation, he had gathered countless pieces of information, all of which pointed to the fact that Alex had been completely crippled, and that there was no way for him to recover from those injuries.
Otherwise, those beings who stood at the pinnacle of the Norland Continent definitely wouldn't have allowed Alex to live so easily on that rainy night.
They had allowed him to live because they wanted to see him suffer more than death.
However, he had returned three years later, and was still as unstoppable as ever.
All of the beings who had participated in that incident were in complete disbelief. Even a god wouldn't be able to recover from injuries like that.
Snarr was also in disbelief. If this was true, then those beings who had allowed Alex to live all those years ago must have been incredibly stupid.
To be able to become a Level Ten expert, all of them were one in a million. How could they make such a low-level mistake?
However, there was only one knight in the entire history of the Norland Continent who was able to slay three 10th-tier powerful beings on his own, and that was Alex.
Of course, the most important thing was that the purple-striped griffin that had also disappeared for three years had also reappeared.
Aside from Alex, no one else in this world was able to control it.
This news had shaken the entire continent, and countless powerful beings were unable to sleep peacefully. Countless powerful beings who stood at the pinnacle of the continent had no choice but to turn the tables.
Snarr was elated that the princess had reunited with Alex, and he wasn't resentful in the slightest for the past three years. This was undoubtedly the best piece of news he had ever heard.
Just as he was about to return to The Wind Forest to report on his progress, another piece of shocking news came from The Wind Forest: Princess Irina had been removed from her position as princess by the panel of elders.
That short sentence also created quite a stir on the Norland Continent.
If it weren't for Alex, Irina would definitely be the most powerful being of the younger generation on the continent.
She was able to kill three of the six 10th-tier powerful beings at once, and that was a feat that even the most powerful beings of the continent might not be able to accomplish.
With the long lifespan of elves, it was unimaginable just what kind of power she would reach in the future.
However, to everyone's surprise, the next elven queen, Irina had been removed from her position of power.
Snarr was quite surprised to hear this, but he could guess what was going on. He had heard that Alex had also appeared in the Wind Forest, and that Irina had been stripped of her position as princess, so she had gone into seclusion. In the end, things didn't turn out to be as bad as they seemed.
As Irina's trusted subordinate, he naturally couldn't return to The Wind Forest. Instead, he was most concerned about Phyllis. He had heard that Alex had come to Chaos City a few days ago, and had announced that he was going to oppose the mercenary squad that had captured elves. He was accompanied by an elven maiden, so he had been wandering around Chaos City for the past two days. Not only did he want to tie up all of the loose ends, but he also wanted to find Phyllis.
He didn't think that he would see Phyllis here, and he was both elated and confused.
During this period of time, he had spent a lot of effort searching for Alex and his daughter. Even though he hadn't been able to find any concrete information, after all of his efforts in Rodu, he deduced that this was the place where Alex and his daughter were most likely to be.
After investigating all of the half-elves in Chaos City, the last piece of information he had found pointed to this restaurant by the name of Mamy.
Alex had already appeared, so there was no need for him to investigate this restaurant.
However, Snarr had been doing this for three years, and he wanted to finish what he had started. As such, he came to this restaurant in disguise, and to his surprise, he was greeted by the sight of Phyllis in the restaurant.
Judging from her attire, could it be that she's already an employee of this restaurant? Is this just a coincidence, or is this some kind of arrangement? Snarr turned slightly to the side and appraised Meg out of the corner of his eye.
Huh? Uncle Straw Hat, your straw hat is really pretty. Did you weave it yourself?
Just as Snarr was deep in thought, the restaurant's door was opened, and a little half-elf girl looked at him with a curious expression.
"She …" Snarr's eyes immediately lit up with incredulity.
The little half-elf girl had blue eyes and long silver hair. Her pointy little ears twitched slightly, and her intricate features looked as if they had been carved from the most standard jade. She looked so … much like Princess Irina when she was a child.
Snarr still appeared to be a young man, but he was actually already over 200 years old, so he could only be considered a junior in the elven race.
As an existence appointed by Her Majesty to protect Princess Irina, he had watched her grow up. Although his current strength was far inferior to Her Majesty's, he still remembered every detail of Her Majesty's appearance since she was a child.
This little girl was a half-elf, but her features were virtually identical to those of Princess Irina when she was a child, so how could he not be surprised?
Can't you speak? Are you a mute? A sympathetic look immediately appeared in Amy's eyes. She thought to herself for a moment before carefully pulling out a copper coin, and handing it over to Snarr as she whispered, "Uncle Straw Hat, go buy something to eat. I've been saving this in secret, so don't let Father know about it."
Snarr looked at the copper coin in her little hand and the innocent smile on her intricate little face, and for a moment, he felt as if he were looking at the little princess with a snowball in her hand.
He was wearing tattered clothes and an old straw hat, so he really did look no different from a homeless man.
After a brief hesitation, Snarr accepted the copper coin and turned to Amy with a smile. He then took a final glance at the restaurant before slowly departing.
Regardless of whether his suspicions were correct or not, the only thing he could do now was to not disturb her.
As for learning more about the situation in The Wind Forest from Firis, it would be best to wait until the right time to do so.
When Alex had appeared in Rodu, the restaurant's owner had gone to Rodu to cook for the king.
Two days ago, when Alex had appeared in The Wind Forest and Chaos City, the owner of this restaurant had taken a day off to gather ingredients.
Things like coincidences would become a fact once they were repeated.
With that in mind, Snarr quickened his pace, and disappeared from the plaza in the blink of an eye.
"What a strange Uncle Straw Hat." Amy shook her head as she put Ugly Duckling down at the entrance of the restaurant.
