Chapter 498: Gaze

There's so much to explore in this world, and while Bran regrets not being able to play with Wings, it doesn't stop him from finding and discovering new pleasures.

Today, Northland is much more deserted.

Since the beginning of the expedition, the nobles have gradually shifted their efforts. After a year of exploration and confirmation, the Dead Continent has become a place of their expectations.

At the beginning, most of the people who could be sent to Northland were talents who could take charge on their own. So during the pioneering period, these people were also transferred away one after another. And people gradually found that Northland City welcomed this kind of behavior, so it was very discerning to begin to reduce the number of people stationed there.

As Bran reappeared, a large number of wizards embarked on the path of no return with his permission. But they didn't go alone, but recruited and hired many attendants and guards from the Northlands. At the same time, some people who were attracted by the rumors also took the opportunity to join the team.

Previously, it was always believed that under the care of the family, life in Northland City was good enough, so the residents would not leave easily. In reality, the opposite is true, the migration caused by the expedition has become an unstoppable trend, and even the Northland City has not been spared.

Bran's gaze jumped out of Northland and looked out.

Along the way, there are scattered manors that have been completely abandoned, and their owners have moved their families.

He knew that these people were actually forced away. Green's nobility has always wanted to be officially recognized, but it has always backfired. If it weren't for the fear of his power, these insecure people would have rebelled long ago.

Other forces are not having a good time either. Tossed so far, only the Anya Kingdom has been recognized as a slave, and the rest cannot even obtain the status of a slave.

The expedition, and the country that still has no name, gave these people a touch of hope. Over there, the glory that once belonged to them has been restored, with identity, land, and many privileges that cannot be detailed.

This year, natural disasters have continued, and man-made disasters have also begun to appear.

The kingdom of Anya is ready to move, and it begins to figure out the mind of the new master. They are not yet able to think outside the box and take their master's ignorance as acquiescence. Under its pressure, the migration of some countries is also accelerating, and Anya is gradually thinking about other things.

In this way, Bran's gaze slowly swept over the vast land, and occasionally when he met an object of interest, he would learn more detailed information through the ancient trees. Nothing can hide from them, including the secrets hidden beneath the City of Wisdom.

Since they were all in a hurry to go, even at the cost of a desperate gamble, Bran didn't mind pushing it a little more. In just a few days, rumors of the imminent destruction of the continent spread out of thin air. The year's unusual weather changes were a sign that the nobles who responded positively to the expedition were actually trying to avoid disaster.

The upper echelons knew that this was a rumor, but they did not stop it, but added fuel to the fire. After the advance team assembled and set off one after another, how to move the civilians to keep up has always been a headache for them.

Now, the problem is solved.

There has been definite news from Northland City before, and the abnormal weather will continue for several years. This gives them plenty of time to complete the migration before the rumors lose their foundation.

......

It's good that they're all gone, at least they can have a few more chances of survival.

The continent is becoming dangerous, less friendly than it once was. The abundance of magic brings both opportunities and challenges to the creatures here.

Some seemingly inconspicuous mosquitoes are becoming a huge threat. The pain and itch that I used to be able to bear are becoming unbearable and even becoming life-threatening. The birds of the sky became lighter, and the beasts of the earth became stronger.

Everything along the chain is evolving at a rapid pace, and only those who have lost their magical affinities have not changed much. If it weren't for this expedition, they might have had a chance together.

These mortals couldn't see the crisis approaching, but Brancan. He had already foreseen that a year or two later, a certain strange beast that had just grown up would suddenly run into the villages and towns of mortals and wreak havoc.

It makes no sense!

A competition that is bound to fail is not what Bran wants, and he wants to keep as many species as possible while the weak are left behind. The Continent of Death may be able to give them a glimmer of life, but only maybe.

Because Bran saw that Kano in the Emerald Harbor was plotting, and his replacement had arrived. Although the plan was still a rudimentary one, the information revealed in it surprised Bran that the wizards of another continent had arrived in the Death Continent - from different directions, different places.

They avoided Windhaven and acquiesced in the Northlands' dominion there. At the same time, they also used their actions to declare their respective spheres of influence. Perhaps it cannot be described as a sphere of influence, as at the moment the parties occupy only a port or beach for their stay.

There will be no conflict in the short term, and there will even be efforts to maintain the illusion that the place is safe. Because the sorcerers knew that they could not complete this sacrifice by killing each other alone.

Wizards are not afraid of death and are ready to die for it, because in the shadow of death lies their hope. But those who follow cannot be like them.

They need time to calm people's hearts and then coax more people to come.

It's not hard to do, and it doesn't even require elaborate design. It just takes a little time for people to understand that there is a lot of wealth that they can only dream of here.

Even if they didn't, they, the wizards, would pay a price that would be enough to make people's hearts go.
