"The two carriages were parked here at the time." Leia said as she walked towards the stables and pointed to the four empty seats. "Their horses were parked there to rest. They are quite good Yanwu horses."
He was talking about a breed of horse that comes from the wilderness of the Northeast and is famous for its endurance and ability to endure thirst. "Okay, now it's your turn to show off your skills, Miss Witch."
"Leave it to me." Yuffie replied with a smile, then closed her eyes and began to channel the power of the secret technique.
She is not a natural messenger who is familiar with the earth like her body, nor is she a monster with some magical talents. However, as a wizard, she can do better than those people.
The spell she uses is called "Spiritual Vision", which is more like a divine spell than a secret spell.
The principle of the spell is not difficult to understand - use magic to replace the usual senses, collect all 'visible' information from the surrounding environment, and then filter out valuable clues. Having said that, to do this, you need more than just
It is the exquisite control of magic power, and also includes the ability to accept a large amount of information and quickly distinguish and filter 'noise'.
Generally speaking, this is a process that consumes a lot of physical strength and energy, and is likely to yield nothing. Fortunately, Yuffie discovered in practice that her "intuition" is also effective for this spell.
The magic flowed around her and soon dissipated completely. Yuffie opened her eyes and met Leia's expectant gaze.
"Where do you think they went?" She blinked and asked calmly.
The young ranger pointed to the east with his thumb. "You don't want to say where?" He shrugged, "I mean outside the border."
Yuffie nodded.
"Correct answer." She said, "The carriage went to the far east, the land that you said is completely unsuitable for human habitation."
Leia shrugged her shoulders again, as if she had expected it. Anya's eyes flickered with light, an expression that was a mixture of expectation and concern. Gypsophila stood beside her, looking at the girl who was the Demon King with a smile.
Make a statement.
"Wow." Only Lin sighed exaggeratedly, "So what exactly does that aunt want to do? She can't really plan to fund the monsters, right?"
The words of the blonde girl were naturally a joke. Combined with the information obtained previously, another inference may be closer to the truth. However, Yuffie did not intend to draw any conclusions before confirming more truths with her own eyes.
Wrong assumptions can ruin an entire experiment—and by the same token, a wrong inference can take an investigation completely off track.
"Speaking of which, Wei Feng's purpose is to kill monsters. Shui Yun is not sure yet..." The blonde girl continued to mutter, "Leia, what is your purpose?"
"There used to be no purpose, just to survive alone. As for now... I want to see what some people can do." The young ranger glanced at Anya and chuckled, "Let's go, you want to
The answer I’m looking for is probably not far away.”
…
Teleporting to a place you have never been to is an extremely dangerous act—perhaps the only one.
There are no general rules for the coordinates of the star realm and the positioning of the main plane. Two seemingly similar coordinates are actually probably dozens of miles apart, or even further. In fact, it takes dozens of miles to walk, and it is already
It is one of the best endings - being transported to a completely unfamiliar place, falling into an environment where humans cannot survive, or even being lost in the star realm are not impossible consequences.
In the Wizards' Federation of Ayr, it is said that the average number of mid-level wizards who are seriously injured or killed due to teleportation every year is more than twenty. For a small number of wizards, this is already a quite high proportion.
Sora privately gave them another map, which was his personal 'gift'. However, the location pointed by the map was a little subtle. Neither Yuffie nor Lin thought it was the best time to go there to explore.
Good time.
Therefore, they just followed the empire's map and teleported to the eastern border, passed through the checkpoint that was not guarded by many people, and then continued to move east. As for the young ranger's companions, it seemed that they did not join this operation.
Leia did not explain the specific reason.
As the young ranger mentioned, the land in the far east, located outside the borders of the empire, is not suitable for humans at all - or in other words, it is not suitable for the survival of any living being.
Every day, the blazing sun bakes the earth without reservation, evaporating any moisture that can remain in the soil; and at night, the temperature plummets to ten degrees below zero, making drought and heat resistant
The creatures have also lost their room for survival. The two extreme climates are constantly changing, turning this place into a patchy and cracked land with almost no grass growing.
"This is not a normal climate." Yuffie applied a secret technique to everyone in the team to protect them from the extreme weather. "Similar to the Impasse Mountains and the Sea of Storms, it is the disturbance of magic that caused this place.
unusual circumstances.”
"Fortunately, we didn't teleport here directly, otherwise we wouldn't even know how we died." Lin exaggeratedly patted her chest, then frowned, "Can any human beings really survive here?"
"Don't underestimate humans." Leia spread her hands to the blond girl, with a complicated smile on her face. "No matter what environment they are thrown into, there are always some people who can adapt and try to survive. That's why
In this way, during the time when monsters ruled the continent, humans were not completely extinct."
No matter what the environment is...?
Yuffie didn't know whether she could believe this statement. Sometimes human beings are too fragile, but sometimes they are very tenacious. What she thought of was another doubt that had disappeared——
"Leia." Yuffie raised her head, just in time to hear Anya say what she was thinking about, "When monsters still ruled humans... did all monsters have a servile attitude towards humans?"
"Ah, interesting question." Leia turned her head and narrowed her eyes slightly to look at the girl, "As far as I know, there are only a few monsters who are extremely harsh on human 'subordinates'. As for discovering the potential of human beings,
Think of them as assistants and even 'companions' who are worthy of training... There may be some, but there are certainly not many. As for the rest, most of them are better said to be unfriendly 'employers'."
"Because the things that humans need..." Yuffie walked up to the young ranger and softly picked up what he said, "It was not that valuable to those powerful monsters at that time, was it?"
"That's right." Leia shrugged, "However, there is one thing that those monsters cannot give after all, which is true freedom." He chuckled, "I never thought you would be interested in these past histories. All I know is,
If we don’t speed up our pace, I’m afraid we won’t be able to catch up with them in our lifetime.”
"Freedom...?" Anya murmured to herself, "Humans who don't want to join the empire, monsters who are not under the jurisdiction of the alliance, what do they really need...?"
What Yuffie cares about is not the long-gone history, nor the present that Anya is worried about. However, there is no need to explain anything at the moment - it is just a distant guess that may not become reality at all.
The girl pursed her lips silently and drew shining runes in the air with her fingers, letting the magic give everyone the power to move forward.
