"Hey, why are you dazed, Yuffie -" Lin called her name from a distance, "come here quickly, their grilled mushrooms are delicious!"
The girl responded, raised her head, and looked into the distance into the dark sky, feeling strangely calm in her heart.
She knew what she had just seen. In the sung by the bards, there were countless impassioned or tortuous versions of it - the origin of the heroes and their initial gathering were always influenced by others.
A welcome story subject. But no one thought that the beginning of things turned out to be so simple and simple.
It was just a short but warm conversation between two people by the fire on a winter night.
What happened after that can be easily described by anyone who has some knowledge of the mercenary industry. "Dream Traveler" Pfister Icaroa formed the original "Miracle Brigade" with several friends, and with extreme
The high mission completion rate and the principle of insisting on the legitimacy of entrustment quickly became famous throughout the continent. As for the legendary story and the final outcome left by the brigade, there are naturally countless people singing about it - as for how authentic it is, then
It's not important, is it? As long as there are people who like to listen.
However, in the relevant records of "Brigade", the girl did not read any deeds of the woman who was talking to her mother - what surprised her even more was that when she tried to recall the details of the other party, not only could she not remember
Her face and even her name were just a blur.
It doesn't matter, as long as she still remembers this matter, it's enough, Yuffie told herself. One day, she can figure out the reasons that hinder her cognition, and then discover all the truth hidden in the depths. As for now, she has never
What I got in the dream just now is another important thing.
The mother obviously had a good relationship with the woman who formed "The Brigade", but they gave different choices for the same period of history. Perhaps judging from the results, the mother's intuition was confirmed - the Brigade did not succeed.
After a good death, their goal probably failed to be achieved. But this does not mean that the woman's ideas and the series of things she did are wrong or worthless.
Living to be able to witness the truth is indeed the core concept of most wizards, including her - there are also some wizards who think that they can sacrifice everything for the truth, which seems to have gone to the other extreme. She and her friends around her can
Living peacefully and leisurely in the world and pursuing happiness that belongs to everyone is indeed what she wants.
Facing the same thing, what makes people act differently may not be the universal values and attitudes towards life, but the inner voice of each person.
It is a dream that originated from childhood; it is a goal that fades with growth, but always exists; it is the direction that I still yearn for when all objective pros and cons are eliminated, and all interference from outside me ceases to exist.
.
The girl closed her eyes and tried to listen to her inner voice.
Then she found the answer.
Whether she is pursuing the truth, promoting magic, or seeking stability, there has never been any contradiction. What she wants is to be able to freely pursue the world she wants. Not just her, but the people around her and those around her.
Everyone you see can live according to their own choices.
Some things do seem dangerous, but how can there be absolute safety in the world? She chose to participate, not to save anything, nor to realize her ideals, but just because she wanted to do so.
No matter how troublesome an event seems to be, it is just a drop in the ocean in the endless Prime Material Realm. Even for this continent called Aiur, the rise and fall of mankind is not a very important history.
So what's the harm in being willful once in a while?
She quickly walked towards the bonfire not far away and joined in the elegant yet lively celebration.
…
In the following days, Yuffie did not wait passively in the village. She and Lin rode griffins and went to the vicinity of the death land many times to explore changes in the environment and try to find possible entrances to the palace.
Fortunately, the deterioration of the environment seems to be very slow. Perhaps the mysterious locks of the underground palace are still functioning, and the malicious magic that was initially released to the surface has reached its limit in contaminating the current area. This means
, unless someone repeats the initial process, they still have enough time.
In addition, together with Amberley, they also set up spells to drive away wild animals around the outer edge of the contaminated area. The wild animals are not sensitive to the magic in the environment, but they cannot see many differences in the environment.
The zone is enough to have various effects on their bodies.
Whether it creates more demonized creatures or causes a large number of wild animals to die, it may not be of any benefit to this forest. Those currently living in the polluted area have basically been transformed into magical creatures and will no longer be affected by the surrounding environment.
Damage. Amberley suggested waiting until reinforcements from the kingdom arrive, and then gradually taming and guiding them to prevent them from causing damage to the ecology of the forest.
Lily continued to train Bell, sometimes using force herself, and sometimes asking Yuffie and Lin to return from the outside. Bellon probably felt the pressure of the future, and he was not satisfied with being the weakest member of the team—
—Alphonse’s blow that destroyed the monster
Although he has not seen it in person, he believes that Yuffie or Amberly will not deliberately deceive others - but will appear to work harder than usual. However, if they want to surpass any member of the current mercenary group, or find a member of the team
In an indispensable position, the Veron still have a long way to go.
Sometimes, female mercenaries will go to the forest alone to hunt some small beasts as a reward for Bell. The Elna people's diet is mainly vegetarian, but they do not reject meat or hunting, they are just opposed to doing it for money or greed.
Indiscriminate killing. In the culture of the Elna people, life is a
A circular chain, everyone is a part of it. This is true for vegetation, birds and animals, and humans. They call themselves the guardians of the forest, but they never feel that their status is higher than other lives. This is different from what they think.
Some of the Kamal people who are God's favorites form an interesting contrast.
Of course, Alphonse has not been idle. Ever since he made communication props, he has been interested in making some small arcane devices. He believes that since he can be created as a living being, maybe he can also use
Use the same method to create another artificial life. For the machine man, this is also one of the ways to prove whether he is a real 'life' who knows how to create.
Yuffie and Lin gave him some advice on what they were good at, and more valuable information came from the other Erna people in the village, including Amberley. After the introduction of two "nature messengers"
Now, most people in the villages and towns have good intentions towards the visiting mercenary group.
I mean, except for some people who have some opinions about Bell's rudeness. Their long life and the knowledge passed down to this day make their understanding of life and nature far better than other races - the two wizards other than Alphonse in the mercenary group
