In the wild and violent environment of the Far East Wasteland, there is still a fragile order. Several magic cycles form a delicate balance, making the natural environment in a few areas relatively less harsh - which means that the day is milder and the night is less harsh.
It is so cold that there are even occasional oases. Each such area attracts those creatures that tenaciously survive in the wasteland, including rats or snakes that live underground, and birds of prey that soar in the sky. They can endure for a long time.
Hungry beasts, and humans.
Naturally, these 'habitable' areas are not permanent. No one knows when the balance of magic will be shattered, but as soon as it happens, everything it brings - water, food and homes - will cease to exist. In the wasteland
Human settlements have no choice but to constantly explore new 'balance points', and then, when necessary, move the whole family to another residence. This is a dangerous task. Not only are explorers prone to falling halfway on the long journey, but they are also likely to end up in the middle of the long journey.
When a new oasis was discovered, he died from the attack of the 'demon creatures' who occupied it earlier.
After all, in this wilderness, humans and beasts are both hunters and prey.
Those monsters that are powerful enough to adapt to the chaotic magic environment are the real overlords of the Far East - such as the eight-tailed fox named Qingyan. They have established a relationship with the settlements in the wasteland similar to the one hundreds of years ago:
Humans became their vassals and servants, and they gave humans a small amount of protection and resources.
Unfortunately, most of the kinder monsters have joined the alliance; the 'wild' monsters who remain in the wilderness, because their original territory and status were deprived of their original territory and status by the Inis Empire, usually do not have much respect for the 'remnants' who are also humans.
So many good looks.
It's just the pride of being monsters that makes them stubbornly plan to take revenge on the empire's 'envoy', and they don't want to use humans as a punching bag.
This is a story that Yuffie heard from the woman who was once a 'guide' when she went to the settlement that Qingyan told them about and belonged to the survivors of the Yanwu tribe. She and Lin held hands gently.
, the female of the Yanwu tribe is on the other side of her. The three of them all carry the secret technique of protecting the environment and accelerating their footsteps. According to her calculations, they are enough to reach the target location before sunset today.
And that story also mentioned that the current Yanwu tribe has different views on the future.
When 'Da Qi' fell decades ago, young people who hated the invaders rejected the willow branches extended by the empire. They struggled to survive in the wilderness of the far east, looking forward to the sunset of the empire one day. However, decades passed.
, the empire shows no signs of decline, but those young people who are full of vitality are already getting old.
"In today's clan, the prestige of the first-generation survivors is still there, and the second-generation survivors can more or less understand the persistence of their parents...just like me." The woman smiled tiredly and narrated slowly in a hoarse voice.
"However, the younger ones, our children, gradually became dissatisfied with the hardships in the wilderness. Some even abandoned their elderly parents and elders, rebelled against the tribe, and turned to the embrace of the empire."
"Because there is no hope of working hard." Lin commented softly, holding her hand a little tighter, "What about the other people?"
There was a little light in the eyes of the Yanwu women. "They believe in Your Highness Shuiyun, and believe that her efforts will be our last light." She pressed her right hand on her heart, as if trying to convince herself, "As long as the empire
No longer strong, with the help of Master Qingyan, we have a chance to regain our homeland. Then, His Highness Shuiyun will come back and lead us to live like His Highness Shui Zheng... It should be like this."
Yuffie listened to the woman's narration, and Helin occasionally interrupted, but her thoughts turned to other places.
Naturally, she did not rely solely on intuition to make Lin believe in Anya before. She knew what Anya expected and worked hard for, and she also understood the contradiction that the Yanwu tribe has always had: all the land currently suitable for human habitation on this continent belongs to Yi
The rule of Nisi - and that huge country was the one who destroyed Qi State and was the unforgettable enemy of the Yanwu people.
On the other hand, she knew very well how unreliable Shuiyun's 'plan' was. After their 'accidental encounter' with Yunyue, she and Lin roughly guessed where the real "power" of the Inis Empire came from. Even if the empire was
They suffered some losses in this incident, and the chance of the Yanwu clan realizing their long-cherished wish is still so small that it can be ignored.
But she couldn't blame the other party harshly. Even though it seemed stupid or overestimated, it still contained the brilliance of humanity - just like Sean Tambor, Elena Qiuyue, the former "Brigade", and...
Like Anya.
The wind and sand rolled past her ears, covering up the faint conversation. The girl turned her face, met Lin's eyes, and nodded gently. She was familiar with her friend's temperament and could understand him without any words.
expectations.
She never hopes to change the world, but only intends to protect the important people around her. But that does not mean that the ideas of the 'heroes' are wrong - not to mention, among those who are called 'heroes', there are
Her teacher and friend. Because of this, she can somewhat understand Shuiyun's persistence, and also has some sighs and sympathy. As for Wei Feng, she believes that the other party can find the path he should take, no matter when and where.
Caught between the confrontation between two huge countries, their strength is still insufficient; and the current investigation appointment is more like the emperor's whim. As the right prime minister and the "King of Darkness", the old man may have a lot of doubts about the two.
People have certain expectations, but his purpose and motivation are still a mystery to Yuffie.
However, since she has accepted the mission, she must try her best to complete it perfectly - it is best to let the 'client' be a little surprised. This is her dignity as a disciple of Vanka Corens and an excellent witch.
.
The surrounding environment was changing irregularly, constantly switching from one harsh climate to another. The storm that was supposed to last for several days only lasted for more than ten minutes before returning to calm, and it blew again not long after.
The salon volumes, large or small, seemed to be funnels straight into the sky, spinning and rolling across the field of vision from time to time; and twice, dazzling lightning fell from the sky without warning, almost hitting several people close at hand.
.
However, in an instant, all the restlessness of magical power subsided. The storm was raging a few meters away, but it was separated by an invisible wall; the air, which was still incredibly hot in the evening, returned to normal temperature. Yuffie Mi
Looking up, I saw a little green emerging at the end of the horizon.
"Our home is there." The female Yanwu tribe glanced at her, with some hesitation in her eyes, but she still said, "Please... don't use magic here. We... have never done this either.
