Yuffie and Lin quickly exchanged glances, and at the same time saw a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.
The blond girl quickly ran to her side and lowered her voice, "Yuffie, have you heard... that Feist has a twin brother?"
"Don't make blind guesses." She shook her head funny and decided to confirm her doubts in a more direct way. She raised her head, looked at the man who walked in front of them, and said in Erna language, "Mr. Pfister?"
"
"I am Assan here." The man also responded to her in Elna language, "That's all."
"But, you are obviously from Elna -" Lin stared at him suspiciously and interjected, "When did you come here from the Elna continent?"
The man seemed not to have heard Lin's question. He looked past the two of them to the distant horizon in the west.
"Ailna...ha." He chuckled to himself, "I used to be, but now...this title has no meaning."
Yuffie's eyes flickered, and she stopped asking further questions, just silently sorting out the known clues. Pfist - or at least the man who looked like Pfist, said that the title "has no meaning anymore". If
This doesn't mean that he himself abandoned his identity as an Elna person for some reason, or was expelled by the other party, so what does it mean?
"Okay, from now on, you can live here." The man didn't waste any more time, turned around and left, "Qingluo will arrange the specific residence for you."
Yuffie looked at the man's back and decided to give it one last try. She took a deep breath and almost shouted, "Your companions in "The Brigade", Fanka, Hylanthia, and Hughes
How are they doing?"
The man's footsteps froze, and he turned around. A sharp light flashed in his eyes, as if it was about to pierce the girl's entire body. But the next moment, the sharpness had disappeared, and he slowly turned back to his body, almost undetectable.
He sighed.
"Dead." He uttered these two words gloomily and never looked back.
"It's really him." The blonde girl watched the man slowly walk away and whispered to Yuffie, "What on earth is going on?"
"I don't know. Maybe there was some deviation in the journey - the power of the Mirror Realm may be more complicated than we expected." Yuffie replied softly, using words to calm down the uneasiness in her heart.
, "But it doesn't matter, we have enough time to investigate everything."
…
From that day on, Yuffie and Lin temporarily settled down in this small village called Suzulan.
Like other villagers, they help plant crops nearby, hunt, handle prey, and attend village gatherings from time to time. Their life is simple and leisurely. Of course, in their free time, they have not given up on the research and practice of secret techniques - strength and
The pursuit of knowledge is almost never-ending for wizards.
Their first goal is to learn the language of this continent. Every day, they will contact and chat with as many other villagers as possible. As the sun rises repeatedly and the weather gradually gets warmer, they gradually no longer need to communicate through spiritual links.
, you can communicate with others fluently.
During this period of time, they relayed some of the things about El Continent to the residents here - not too much, because 'Asan' seemed unwilling to hear that; at the same time, they learned a lot from the residents here.
There is little news about this continent.
What puzzled them was that the content of those messages was far from what Jill had described to them.
On this continent, there are indeed both monsters and humans called the Inir tribe living at the same time. What Gil once described is a world trapped in endless fighting and battles, where humans are struggling to survive as vassals of the monsters. According to
According to the monsters in Suzulan Village, there are two large and stable countries on this continent that have been established for hundreds of years.
One is called the Inis Empire. As the name suggests, it is a country established by the Inil people. They occupy a vast area in the southern part of the continent. Although they have not killed all the monsters, they are not very friendly. The villagers say no.
It’s unclear how long the empire has existed, but Mr. Peng, who is currently over 420 years old, and that genus-like monster, said that the empire has existed since the day he became a monster.
The other is called the Gipnis Alliance, which is said to be a country spontaneously formed by the monsters in response to the pressure from the Inis Empire. There is only one king in the alliance, and the governance is jointly carried out by several elders of the monster clan. The Gipnis Alliance
It is relatively loose, and small villages like Suzulan Village, with only a few dozen people, seem to be many in the alliance.
There have always been constant frictions between the two huge countries, but large-scale wars rarely occurred. In periods of relative peace, it is said that some adventurous monsters or bold human traders crossed the border to go to the other country. Of course,
All of this has nothing to do with the small village in the northern border of the alliance where they are currently located.
The residents of Suzulan Village are also not in line with their initial understanding of monsters. They claim that monsters respect strength, but in fact they are not aggressive and their use of power is quite superficial. Most villagers are limited to using
She didn't care at all about whether she could further strengthen the talents she gained when she transformed. Qingluo's 'Alchemy' was something she learned by herself, but she also never had much interest in becoming stronger.
On this day, the two completed their research on things in the village and secret arts, and lay side by side under the warm sunshine, chatting about various meaningful and meaningless things.
"So, it is very possible that we have really come to a world similar to Al, but not the same one?" Lin put her hands behind her head and yawned lightly, "Then I need to collect some evidence and go back.
This is a great discovery.”
Indeed - the hypothesis of "parallel crystal wall systems", that is, there are a large number of very similar crystal wall systems in the universe, is very popular among wizards. There is currently no "sufficiently credible" evidence to show that this argument is true.
——Oral statements are not enough to be accepted. For those crazy wizards, no matter what they see, it is not surprising.
However, for some reason, Yuffie always felt that this was not a simple "parallel world". There must be some actual reason why they came here.
Is it because her mother is currently here? But what did she want to tell them when she came here...or led them here?
As for 'Pfister', the reason why he is so repulsive about things in the El Continent is probably related to the endings of other members of the "Brigade". In this way, could it be that the disbandment of the "Brigade" ten years ago was also related to the original situation?
Is the world different——
Too many clues were tangled together, so she decisively gave up and continued thinking. The girl turned over and turned her face towards her friend to make herself lie more comfortable, "Maybe, when we set foot here,
At that moment in El Continent, you will be able to understand the truth of many things."
