As the refugees from Sandstone City poured in, the survivors of the caravan followed suit. More than half of the personnel were lost, but fortunately, they only wanted to test the water, and there were not many people in the caravan. When the killing began, no one targeted them either. It's just that there is no way to do it after the fire, and who can take care of who at that time? According to the people who came back, there may be survivors, and some people have escaped from another city gate, and it will take some time to return.

It was not easy to reorganize the caravan, although Bran did not have specific requirements for the caravan, and the personnel, size and equipment were even more suitable for dealing with it, but the most lacking thing now was manpower. Being able to run back a few people just saves trouble. People don't have to redeploy anymore, let a few of them rest for two days before continuing on the road.

Several members of the caravan were frightened enough by the incident, but at least they knew that something was going on, and Bran would stand up for them. Although the results of this early stage are not as good as not coming out, it also gives them some confidence. The biggest problem now is that this time the loss is at the bottom, and Bran is a little unable to open the pot.

Bran has always adhered to the traditions of the Northlands, and it is impossible for the weapons and armor that pass through his hands to escape. Although he knew that many problems could be solved once this kind of thing was released, Bran would never do that. Jewelry, Bran no longer thinks about circulating through commodity channels, he is the lord of the city, not the owner of the workshop. It's better to let the city run on its own, it's the right way.

But does the city have its own specialty? At the moment, there is nothing. Then it can only be used as a transit station, exchanging leather goods from the northland, and then exchanging the leather goods.

Thinking of this, Bran probably had some ideas. So he called Il in and ordered, "Pick a few brave people who are not afraid of death to join the caravan." ”

Yi'er was stunned for a moment, and he didn't quite understand, was this going to do business or robbery?

Bran ignored her reaction and continued, "Let them rest and set off in two days." ”

"But we haven't prepared the goods yet. ”

Bran laughed to himself, "We've got a cargo yet, don't talk about the nice ones." ”

This truth made Il blush a little. Although it is self-sufficient here, there is really nothing superfluous at the moment.

Bran continued: "Don't prepare, get my banner ready, and go all the way to the royal capital. This time, there were not too many people, and when they got there, they sent a message to Dragoon, Anya, and the royal family. It's time to compensate for the last incident, and if I can't see compensation in the short term, I'll go and get it myself.

Also, tell the few people who led the conversation not to be afraid, if someone dares to hurt them, they will continue to add the following message. If someone is killed or injured, I will pay it back a hundredfold, no less. ”

Il was a little dumbfounded, this time he was really going to rob, but the question was, could this person with the message come back alive? In addition, when he came to the door like this, did people know who he was?

Seeing Il's behavior, Bran asked, "Is there a problem?"

Il's concerns were voiced, and then suggested, "It's better to convey this matter through someone from Zoya's family, it's better to do that." We sent men to the king's capital to wait for the results. ”

"Yes, do as you say. ”

After dealing with the caravan, Bran visibly relaxed. Seeing this, Dani reminded, "They won't pay attention to you." ”

"It's best to be reasonable, but it's just an excuse to see how all sides react. ”

"And then?"

Bran sighed, "There's only violence, especially in the face of them, what else can I do? Since it's already like this, it doesn't matter. One city is gone, and the next one is gone, so I have to get what I want. ”

Bran decides to break the jar and break it.

......

In the past few days, Bran has been sitting under the tree seemingly without saying a word, but in fact, he has been questioned by the ancient tree. Bran was not in the mood to talk to the ancient tree, and directly passed on his experience to him, which made him quiet.

Today, he noticed that Bran's mood had improved, so Gushu initiated a topic that he was interested in: "That fire is so beautiful. ”

Bran sighed, "You really like fire?"

"Well, I like it very much. ”

Bran quipped, "Have you been struck by lightning?"

"How do you know?"

Bran was speechless for a moment, with the time that the ancient tree had survived, and the height far beyond the surrounding ordinary vegetation, it should not be a small probability event to be struck by lightning. From the reaction of the ancient tree, it shows that he has a deep memory. Looks like we'll have to find this memory and take a closer look.

"Didn't you have a fire on you at the time?"

"No, it's just a puff of smoke. "Obviously with deep regret.

Bran suddenly reacted that the essence of an ancient tree was different from that of an ordinary tree. The threat of fire to him may not be as great as he thinks. Combustion is a process of intense chemical reaction that emits light and heat. And what about magic?

"Come, give me a leaf of yours. ”

"What are you going to do?" the ancient tree was wary and reluctant.

"Ignition, don't you like fire?"

"Okay, how much do you want?" the ancient tree immediately became interested.

"One piece. ”

"Too little, not enough, right?" the ancient tree shook its crown.

"Let's have a slice first, and then we can light it!"

A large leaf fell, and Bran reached out to catch it. Under the watchful eye of Dany, Flowey, and the Ancient Tree, Bran found a flaming torch and stuck it in front of him, trying to set the leaf on fire. It didn't work, this verdant foliage didn't have any effect. When you wipe the blackened area with your hand, you will once again reveal the green leaves.

After thinking about it, Bran broke one of his own hair and reached for the torch, which did not curl and burn as he had imagined. After a moment's hesitation, he reached for the flames. It's scorching, but it's just scorching.

In the midst of the ancient tree's disappointment, Bran handed the leaf to Dani, "Give it to you, keep it." This is probably his biggest leaf. In order to play with fire, he is really willing. ”

Bran raised his hair and thought, reacting violently? The reason seems simple, if you can release the magic power in an instant. It's not easy to do it, this storage method is very stable, and if you think about the lightning behind you, it's just a smoke.

As Bran pondered, the ancient tree also reacted, and it seemed that he didn't need to use his body to light the fire. So he was a little angry, "You have to make compensation, just use this torch in front of you." ”

Bran waved his hand generously, agreeing to the ancient tree's request, and then thought wildly.

Thinking back to that fire, it was scorching. At that time, it was so far away, why did it feel hot? How he felt the scorching heat, Bran thought carefully. This made his mind a little confused, there were too many things involved, heat, fluctuations, radiation, etc., which Bran was not very clear about, desperately recalled.

The mana began to fluctuate, and the temperature around him gradually increased. Although much of the knowledge is no longer clear, the magic has a detailed and clear record of the scene. A rare fire, and gradually Bran had nothing more than fire in his mind.

Until he was awakened by the eager voice of the ancient tree: "Teach me! You must teach me! I don't want this torch, you have to make new compensation." ”

Bran realized that the clothes on his body were a little scorched, and Dani had retreated into the distance, but that was all, it was still too far from the high temperature she wanted. It seems that it is necessary to catch two wizards who can set fires and understand their magic fluctuations.

While thinking, Bran said, "You don't need me to teach, use your magic field to imitate the fluctuations of that fire." Gradually weed out what you think is irrelevant. Also, don't give us our home. Remember, you can only play within this range. ”

Bran reached out and gestured over a small area in front of him, severely limiting the range. If this is to let the ancient tree get rid of it, the consequences are unimaginable.

After this commotion, Bran also thought about it completely. Wizards should focus on their own field and gain knowledge and experience from different phenomena. A rare fire, from which you should observe and understand all the phenomena produced. If you should put it down, let it go, and it is useless to dwell on it.

Bran, who let go of his worries, continued his life every day. Sitting under the tree, watching the ancient tree play with fire, watching Zoya practice the ability to kill.

Refugees finally stopped emerging from the woods, and containment efforts were coming to an end. After the re-division and planning, the land was divided according to the capitation, and houses were built on the spot and the land was cleared. The heavy daily work has left these people with no time to feel sad.

The remnants of the northern city couldn't help but be a little red when they saw the refugees divide the land and build houses, and expressed their desire to have a piece of land through Yier. Bran was happy to see the people of the city moving outward, so he was not stingy, and continued to divide with a wave of his little hand. This place is vast and sparsely populated, and since someone wants land, then give it. It's just that according to his division, the boundary has extended to the foot of the two branches. Although it is clear to everyone that the land divided is still a disputed lot, since the northerners say yes, then it will definitely do.

The boundary stones were erected one by one, all by Bran's hand. Outsiders would not understand why Bran had to deal with such a trivial matter himself, nor would he know that with the laying and erection of these boundary stones, this land was truly under his control. And his magic power also penetrates and immerses into the surroundings through these boundary stones, until it becomes one with the surrounding environment and can no longer be separated. Now the magic emitted by the boundary stone is connected to Bran, Flowey, and the ancient tree, and it is beginning to rotate slowly. As the magic works, this infestation will grow faster and faster, and eventually the land will become an extension of their will.

......

While Branta was engaged in development and construction, the mission from Lava City finally entered the Kingdom of Grimm with a long time. At the same time, they received a warning from Bran, a warning with obvious contempt.

I don't know how thick the sky is, this is what everyone says about Bran. I was also deeply disappointed with Tilry's performance, and I even sent someone to wait here, which was really a big fuss. Threats? It's normal, they've made this kind of threats, and who really cares?

Pachu sat with his white-robed companion, who had been deeply apologetic and grateful for his return, but everyone could only sigh helplessly. He chose to return to his companions, almost breaking his dream. But Pachu also saw it, how could everything go well between the trade-offs.

He still remembered Bran's words, what if your magic could cover the entire battlefield? Is it possible? Could it be that Bran can really do it? The ease of confidence in that casualness, the attitude of indifference, does not seem like a lie. But he obviously felt that the range of his magic power was only a few dozen meters in front of him, or did he ignore something?

Pachu had been silent since his return, and his companions thought he was a little disheartened. In fact, he was just thinking back to the details of his time with Bran, trying to find solid evidence. Pachu looked up into the distance, the sky was clear, distant mountains, white clouds, everything was hidden in his eyes.

No! Pachul was startled, and when he looked at Bran from afar, everything was still visible, but it was definitely not so clear. There seems to be a layer of fog, there is a layer of yarn. He's always been like this when he's walking around Northland. Because my ability didn't seem to be affected at that time, I didn't care too much. Now that I think about it, Bran sits under the tree every day, seemingly without any restrictions on his actions, and I am afraid that every move is under his control. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, but fortunately, I really went to seek refuge and study at that time.

Thinking of this, Pachu couldn't help but pat his thigh, and under the surprised gaze of his companion, he lost his voice and said, "It's terrible!"
