The Far East Continent is wider than Aiur - Gil had long said this, and it was only now that Yuffie was able to confirm this.
The vast forests and plains extend almost endlessly to the south and east and west, with scattered villages and cities belonging to the monsters. They have advanced a distance equivalent to the depth of the entire Oren Empire, and have inquired about every way.
The settlements, including the travelers on the road - thanks to the keen eyesight of Lin and Grace, they can clearly see every detail on the ground from hundreds of meters in the air. But so far, no one has definitely
Do you know what happened in the south?
As the journey continues, the air is gradually filled with warmth, and the trees have been replaced by species with wider leaves. Of course, Suzuli Village is not very cold yet. As for the northern areas that are covered with ice and snow all year round, there may be a few births.
The monsters there live in seclusion, but larger villages and towns usually don't exist.
In the alliance, there is more than enough warm and fertile land. After all, today is no longer the era when there was strife everywhere and everyone, monsters and humans, was in danger.
The villages and cities they visited were not large, and few could reach the scale of the large towns on the Aiur continent. They visited these towns one by one with only a few hundred or thousands of people living in them, and imprinted the moving parts in their minds.
, and made friends with many kinds of monsters - for Yuffie and Lin, this can be called a very interesting "field investigation".
What wizards pay attention to is far more than superficial knowledge related to occult arts. History, humanities, geography, astrology, and even economics and politics are all subjects for their study and research. According to the words of mentor Aaron
It is said that truth is often born from seemingly insignificant knowledge or inadvertent discoveries.
If they were not still worried about the situation in the south, they might have moved slower. It has been fifteen days since the two set out. From the information they learned, it is speculated that if they go at the same speed, it will still take them to reach the border of the alliance.
Nearly ten days. This is already a very fast journey - even if we take a carriage day and night, it will probably take more than twenty days to rush from Suzulan Village to the nearest border.
However, they heard from a monster that if a 'rune track' was laid in an area, it would only take less than ten days to travel by train across the same length of area, which was more than twice as fast as a horse-drawn carriage.
Unfortunately, the monster could not tell the specific content, but it only succeeded in arousing their curiosity. According to Yuffie's guess, the Far East continent they came to may exist in the future relative to them. This is more interesting than she expected.
Interesting: I don’t know how many years later, in another continent belonging to the same crystal wall system, there must be a lot of new knowledge to learn.
"Maybe in this continent, secret arts have become more popular than in our time." One night, Yuffie stared at the dancing bonfire in front of him and muttered to himself, "Because the places we passed by were all sparsely populated.
I feel like...those monsters are not that familiar with the secret arts."
"I think they prefer to use their own power, and have no interest in learning secret arts...or alchemy." Lin put forward a different point of view, "Who knows, maybe the monsters in big cities don't
Is it the same?"
A sharp explosion suddenly came from the sky. Grace straightened up suddenly, raised her neck, and stared at the direction of the sound. Yuffie quickly stood up, and then through the treetops, she saw a 'fireball'
is crossing the line of sight.
The fireball roared through the air. It didn't look like a spell, but more like a burning, strange-shaped ellipsoid. Its speed was very fast, and its height was equally astonishing - Yuffie estimated that when he first saw it, it was
The height even exceeds two thousand meters. From time to time, blue-green or orange-yellow arc-shaped flames flash from it, or some burning debris separates from it and falls into the forest below.
When it passed hundreds of meters above their heads, Yuffie seemed to hear a human voice. The accent was a bit strange, but it was in the language of the Kamal people:
"Those careless apprentices will be taught a lesson thirty times when I get back—!"
The fireball—or rather, the burning metal sphere—continued to fly forward several hundred meters, and then fell into the forest, making an earth-shattering explosion.
"The people up there...are they okay?" Lin said uncertainly, while running quickly towards the location of the explosion, "He said 'wait for me to get back'."
Grace murmured and chased after the blond girl. Yuffie ran through possible useful spells in her mind and hurriedly followed.
When she arrived at the 'accident scene', sparks were rising in the surrounding forest, and a few dry branches had begun to burn. She quickly used her magic power to call out cold rain mixed with snow flakes to extinguish the newly ignited fire.
At the same time, she heard the accented, strong male voice coming from a twisted, deformed mass of metal that was still burning slowly.
"Ah, fortunately, the final buffer and protective device worked. It was really wise for me to make this part myself! But..." The voice suddenly stiffened, and the original pride disappeared, "It turns out that this is not the case.
Am I trapped in a metal cage? This is so stupid...ah, I'm not talking about myself!"
Yuffie walked closer and looked at the fallen "object" carefully. She felt the magic power flowing on the "object". In other words, it should be a mystical device.
Under the influence of the icy rain, the restless magic power in the "device" gradually subsided, and the flames converged, revealing the shapeless metal remains. The interior of the wreckage seemed to be opened by a spherical space. Yuffie took a closer look.
It was confirmed that it was a strong force field - one of the secret techniques that was still somewhat difficult for her.
A man who seemed to be only about one meter tall and had slightly gray hair sat cross-legged in the spherical space, with his head lowered and complaining unhappily.
"Do I have to use my "secret weapon" to blow this thing apart..." The man muttered, raised his head and looked around, and then he noticed the two people and a lion who were watching him.
Jiujiu, "Oh, there are actually people in this place! Great, can you find a few people to help remove this metal shell?"
The blonde girl stepped forward, stretched out her hand, and touched the metal debris that trapped the man. The short man stared at her anxiously, as if he wanted to know what her plans were.
Soon, his eyes widened - Lin grabbed two slightly cracked pieces of metal with her slender hands, and slowly separated them outwards. With a harsh creaking sound, she easily removed the metal cage.
Split into two halves.
The man quickly lowered his head and pressed a few times on a seemingly intact instrument, causing the force field sphere surrounding him to gradually disappear. Then he jumped to the ground and looked at Lin with envy, "You monsters are really strong.
Big. If I had this ability, it would be much easier to assemble this thing!"
