Yuffie did not use any suggestion-type secret arts. Excellent suggestions are indeed invisible to the recipient, but their effects are never permanent.
She recalled her mother's appearance when she told her stories. Her mother always had a certain mysterious and convincing temperament; according to Lin, she also had it - but she was not so proficient in 'using' it.
So, the best way now is to imitate the ideal object.
With a soft smile, the girl calmly looked at the withered faces of old or young people. Unhurriedly, she once again introduced herself and Lin, and the purpose of their coming here - to
In my own name, help the Yanwu people find new hope and home.
No one questioned or asked any questions. Distrustful eyes shot from all directions, and the air seemed to freeze, leaving her breathless.
As a theoretical wizard, persuading the masses is not what she is best at—conducting experiments and writing papers are. Lin should be more accustomed to speaking on such occasions, but her unexplained intuition tells her that if she shrinks here, she may
Some people are...disappointed?
A soft and warm body gently pressed against her back, which was a silent encouragement from a good friend. So she spoke again.
"I can't guarantee that I can bring you anything, and I don't ask for anything in return. It's just that we want to do it." She saw the people around her changing their eyes and continued to say every word that came to her mind.
"I can neither be sure that I am correct, nor can I prove that the actions of Shui Yun and the young people of the Yanwu clan are wrong."
"You don't need to believe me." She maintained a focused expression, her eyes never leaving the crowd. "You don't need to follow us, nor do you need to be loyal to anyone. Your future, from beginning to end, should be your own choice.
"
"I just want to ask you one thing." She said softly, "Watching your children, parents or friends risking their lives to try to shake the rule of the empire, and then rebuild the kingdom of the Yanwu clan... your current expectations are like this
Of?"
The girl closed her mouth, calmly responded to the gazes around her, and said no more. The air fell asleep for more than ten seconds, and then she was awakened by a deep voice.
"No."
Yan Qi shook his head slowly, his eyes were serious, and his tone was much firmer than before. "That is not my wish. I don't expect them to regain Daqi or overthrow the empire." He stroked his sparse beard, "I
I just hope that Yanwu’s good sons and daughters can live in peace and freedom no matter where they are, that’s all.”
Like a seed bursting out of the ground, the old man's words gradually brought more voices.
"I...I want my father and mother to come back and tell me the story before..."
"My daughter has only been married for half a month. I am still waiting for the two of them... to give me a fat baby."
"Brother Yan Bai... there are a lot of things I haven't had time to tell him yet—"
"And...Sister Shuiyun." A familiar, slightly hoarse voice came. Yuffie turned her face to the side and saw that Yan Qing, the 'guide', had finally changed her face.
look.
"If... if you can do it." Yan Qing lowered his head and held his hands tightly in front of him, "Tell Shuiyun... Your Highness, she has done a lot for us. She has... worked hard enough.
." She took a few breaths lightly, swallowed, and let her voice spread in the square, "As long as she can live for herself, even if I can never return to my homeland, even if... there will no longer be any Daqi,
It doesn’t matter, right…?”
These words were like stones thrown into the pool, and the crowd in the square started to commotion in low voices. Yuffie calmed down and heard a few people accusing Yan Qing of being treasonous, but more people... slightly agreed with what the other party had just said.
Good, now they are no longer just two people, Yuffie thought. Maybe at least at this moment, because of their arrival, some things have begun to change.
She no longer paid attention to those discussions, but looked at their 'guide', "What is the relationship between Shuiyun and you?"
The woman still lowered her head, and what she just said took up most of her strength, "Many years ago...when His Highness Shui Zheng was still here, I was her playmate...very good. On the eve of the fall of Qi State, I
She stayed in the royal capital with her father and couldn't even say goodbye. But when we met again, she...had become the "King of Mist" of the empire."
"I understand. I'm also aware of your wishes." Yuffie took two steps back and paused for a moment to let the square become quieter. "But Yan Qing, I can't help you -" She looked around again.
Crowd, "and you, convey any words."
The crowd began to whisper again. The Yanwu woman stared at her blankly with her eyes wide open. The old man not far away stroked his chin, as if he had guessed what she was about to say.
"The thoughts will be distorted in the transmission. Just the two of us cannot convey the wishes of each of you." The girl pressed her hands on her chest and looked ahead seriously, "I can deliver you safely to them.
The rest... will be left to you to do."
Slowly but surely, the uneasiness coming from all around dissipated. Along with the continuous whispers, something new emerged from the eyes of the old people and young children——
There is no need to place your trust in fate or rely on others. No one can guarantee a good outcome, but this is what they "themselves" can and want to do.
"Very good, it seems you have convinced me." Yan Qi knocked the crutch in his hand on the ground, making a dull sound, "and most of the people who stayed here." He slowly turned his head and showed a satisfied smile.
Then he disappeared the next moment, "But, what are you going to ask us to do? I think you can see that just trekking in the wilderness may kill many people."
"It doesn't need to be like that." Yuffie quickly shook her head, which was of course within her consideration. "You stay here for the time being, Yan Qi." She explained softly, "The situation within the empire is unclear now. We need to stop it.
Shuiyun, but I can’t make you pay too much.”
The problem is that they really can't move more than a thousand people to a safe place quickly. Even if they use teleportation at the risk of shattering their 'home', with Yuffie's current strength, they can only bring a dozen people with them at a time.
And regardless of using summoning spells or anything else, it would be difficult to quickly gather enough mounts or vehicles for these people.
"We will return to the empire immediately to find out the movements and purposes of those young people. Then..." She cleared her throat, trying to make her voice sound more confident, "I can ask Ms. Luo Zhen for help, or 'Na'
Is there any way Noka can bring you safely from the wasteland to——"
An extremely weak magic wave came from not far away. The law wizard's instinct allowed Yuffie to catch it. She turned her head and looked at the place where there was nothing.
There was a tall woman standing on the edge of the square. She seemed to be really there, and if you looked carefully, she seemed to be nowhere to be found. A soft white mist surrounded her, and from time to time, snowflakes condensed from it, and then quickly melted into the mist.
. She walked closer to the girl, stepping on the soft sand without leaving any traces.
Yuffie blinked and immediately guessed the other party's identity.
