The Great Harait, the area of the Great Wasteland, cannot be counted, and there is no need to count, and now it is only his shallow inhabited area.

The Great Wasteland, as its name suggests, is a barren land with nothing on the surface, but what causes all this is probably the thunder season here for more than half of the year.

After the baptism of thunderstorm, animals without shelter naturally can't live, and even if they do, they don't even have land for grass, so how can they give food to ordinary creatures.

Under the excessively violent and frequent natural disasters, it is basically impossible to produce such fragile and delicate things as biological chains and ecological chains, so that animals and plants cannot exist, natural disasters such as floods and mudslides are even more lawless, and nothing can be seen except natural disasters, and that land will naturally be called a wasteland.

But the wasteland doesn't mean there's really nothing.

This land is rich in minerals, gold, silver, iron, copper, and media mines, and under the barren land, there are even magic mines such as mythril and pure gold, not to mention the priceless natural lightning strike stone veins here.

Researchers in New Tonia City have suggested that the situation in this area is too strange, and there is a very high possibility that something buried in the ground has formed a natural magnetic field...... Of course, there are many similar conclusions and studies, but almost none of them can be confirmed.

Whether it is the strange climate and natural conditions that have created the rich ore area here, or the rich ore area here has been caused by some chemical reaction

Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, but the culture and life of the Seymour people today are built on this land.

The industrial and magic technology of Kakunashi has now reached a certain level, and the most basic condition is a steady stream of local mines, and high-quality mines can naturally attract merchants to come, and excellent craftsmen often choose the city closest to the mining area, especially the dwarves who are constantly chasing the ore veins like hounds.

The wasteland is very large, if you look at it from shallow to deep, the outermost is Yongwang Town, and then there is New Winteria City, Horn City, and the wasteland tribes of the Seymour people are scattered among them.

But with the farthest sacred mountain as the dividing line, it is really no man's land when you go inside, after all, there is still thunder there today, or it should be described as never-ending.

The more you play inside, the longer the thunder season will be, and the higher the energy value of the lightning strike, and after walking for a week after the holy mountain, you can enter the no-man's land, where is the real thunderstorm hell, at least under the current industrial level and magic technology, who enters and who dies in the forbidden area of life.

But the strange thing is that the closer you get to the no-man's land and the Thunder Zone, the richer the ore veins around you, and the legend says that there is an open-pit mine area for magic metal.

As long as there is enough interest, the scavengers of the wasteland are not afraid of life and death, but they still dare not approach the area, even if someone is said to have brought back endless wealth from it...... That's because they've only heard of who's going in, and they've never seen anyone come out.

The Ash also tried to penetrate into it, of course, they chose to travel on the clouds of the floating boats, but most of the ships were attacked by wind elemental creatures and trolls on the clouds, and the few that managed to break through lost contact after descending the clouds.

It is possible that after the thundercloud falls, they are instantly destroyed by the ultra-high-intensity thunderstorm, or it is possible that something terrible in that area has attacked them, of course, it is also possible that both situations occur at the same time, and this possibility is still the highest.

This is not a malicious speculation, but the conclusion reached by the mages from studying the surrounding environment, just like the thunder element creatures that are raging in the wasteland human area in the thunder season, the high concentration of single element tides is easy to produce elemental creatures, and there are elemental lord-level monsters on the periphery, and in the thunder prison in the no man's land, I am afraid that it is an abnormal world at the level of the thunder elemental plane, and there may be a real elemental god.

The most proof of this conclusion is the wind elemental biome in the cloud area of no man's land.

In Ash's elemental theory, wind and thunder have the same origin and root, and the thunder element is a derivative element of the wind element among the four elements.

Everyone knows that there must be a huge amount of treasure in it, maybe enough for a nascent empire to rise, but no one is stupid enough to attack an elemental plane, or a highly aggressive alien plane like the thunder element.

In Ash's theory of magic, the god of the plane of the elemental plane is the existence of the master level of the world, probably the same level as the main gods of Ash's most powerful god system, and if you really encounter such a troll, it is basically hopeless.

It is precisely because of this geographical distribution that it is also closer to the Holy Mountain...... Behind the no-man's land, the better the quality of the natural mining area, including lightning strikes.

The highest-quality and excellent lightning strike stone mining area is distributed along the no-man's land, and the secret that Rorschach broke before is that the entire holy mountain is a huge natural lightning strike stone rough, and probably the best ore vein is there.

It is said that the Holy Mountain is the core area of the wasteland, and it is precisely because of this.

Whether it is the Wasteland Seymour people or the Horn City Seymour people, their life and development are inseparable from the lightning strike stone, and this "natural jewelry" is an important magic material and commodity specialty in the eyes of the Ash, and no one can give it up.

Their weapons, living facilities, and beast taming all need this kind of natural thunderstone, and being able to use this thunderstone seems to be the talent of the Seymour people, and a considerable part of the one-horned wasteland people have a little talent for controlling electricity, although ninety percent of them stay to the extent of making a little fingertip electric spark.

And the researchers of the Ash people through genet-level bloodline identification, and even judged that there is a unicorn blood in the bloodline of these horned people, of course, the purity is probably found after the decimal point, if you really want to say, it is probably the relationship between primitive people and orangutans...... No, it's even more distant, and perhaps the kinship between modern humans and dinosaurs is more suitable for this contrast.

The ancient unicorn was an extremely powerful beast creature, and in its legends and myths, the unicorn could harness thunder and lightning and clear people's hearts at will.

And some atavistic Seymours had hooves and fluffy tails, which seems to prove this inference.

The Ashites have noticed that Kakuro not only artificially makes the Shock Stone, but also makes the inferior Shock Stone into a powder and adds some other ingredients to use as a condiment, while the Seymour people in the wasteland, like their tamers, regularly seek out small pieces of natural Lightning Strike Stone to eat.

This habit is like our ancestors eating rock salt.

Eating too much is uncomfortable, and if you don't eat for a few months or a few years, you feel that your body is tired, and if you don't eat for a long time, it will be really fatal.

In this case, the lightning strike stone mining area is the lifeline of the Seymour people, and there is a demand for industry, life, development, and military.

In the past, it was the Guijiao City around the Jiaocheng, and whoever in the wasteland was close to whom, and the reason why the Jiaocheng desperately launched the unification war was because with the improvement of living standards and the decline of neonatal mortality, there were too many new people in the city, and the surrounding mining areas were simply not enough.

Inferior artificial lightning strike stones are definitely not the fundamental way to solve the problem, and the people of Jiaocheng were so supportive of foreign wars before, so they naturally longed for more lightning strike stone mining areas.

But the Seymour people of the wasteland will not be able to give up the lightning strike stone mining areas that belong to their ancestors, and those lightning strike stone mining areas that have owners are better said, those mining areas that are ownerless, are being explored, and may exist, are enough for them to launch a war of unification again.

Even the Ichites did not expect that the other two parties would be so obsessed with these mining areas, even threatening to start a war with the breakdown of negotiations.

At this time, Rorschach also knew why when he broke the secret of the Holy Mountain at that time, the saint Twilight even did not hesitate to die with herself.

This information was enough to make the people of Kakuraga frantically launch a national war, and even enough to make some of the tribes guarding the Holy Mountain change their beliefs.

When the agreement entered the ownership of those mining areas and nascent mining areas with blurred borders, the negotiations fell to the brink of rupture in an instant, and it was at this time that Rorschach stood up and proposed a restrictive gambling game (simulated war) to determine the share of the mining area.
