"I've tried a lot of types of elemental reactions, but it's almost impossible to completely control the reaction process, and I even suspect that these so-called elemental reactions are some kind of setting with strong randomness, and there are no internal laws at all......

"It's just that your ideas and research are not up to standard at all, real magicians will never give birth to such ideas, even if you don't believe in the magical theories I taught you, you should also believe in the knowledge system left by those thousands of years of magical history, right? They wouldn't give you such a magical treasure for nothing. ”

"A magical treasure? If the staff was as strong as it was described, how could the original owner trapped in the underground laboratory be buried in that place? And with so many researchers—"

"Not all of the experimenters and researchers of magic are geniuses who use magic, and many of them even have more practical knowledge of magic than magicians who actually use magic, and there are probably more scholars than magicians in the Magic Empire who have no magical abilities and talents but are good at research, and finally bear fruitful results in the field and on the road of magic."

“…… How do I feel like you're talking about yourself? ”

"Do I look as weak as they are? My theories and applications are at the highest level - stop, I know what you're trying to say, take back all your disrespectful thoughts, and want to laugh at my current achievements, you're still far from your level. ”

"I don't mean anything disrespectful, otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here listening to your lectures, and...... Is there anything else you'd like to say about the wind's trail? ”

"It should be certain by now that this path is indeed the path left to you by the leylines on the Continent of Winds, but is the 'pathway' above the range of this path a product of the disappearance of the leylines, and will there be more subsequent changes...... Well, you look like you're about to wake up. ”

Whew-

As if the dark fog that lingered in front of his eyes was suddenly blown away, Duan Qing, who was in a state of ignorance, opened his eyes, and the voice of a mature woman whispering in his ears also peeled away from his ears with the awakening of consciousness, bringing a more realistic tranquility back to his side again. The familiar breeze and the swaying carriage then condensed in the gray-robed magician's field of vision, and the familiar and reassuring aroma began to take over his sense of smell, and he blinked his eyes and then stared at the darkness on the roof of the carriage for a long time, and then rubbed his head and struggled out of the corner of his huddled bed: "I see, are you awake?" ”

"You're awake." The silence in his ears was then broken by a soft call, accompanied by the sight of the curtain in front of him being lifted by snow and phantom ice: "We have been waiting for you for a long time. ”

"Wait for me?" Shaking his forehead and getting up, Duan Qing's vague voice also rang out: "What are you waiting for me to do...... Wait, what time is it? ”

"It's been a day, and the next morning's morning is almost here." A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Xue Lingphantom Ice pointed to the hazy sky outside and replied softly, "You really slept like a pig this time." ”

"Don't laugh at me, didn't you wake up for half a day when you came out of the Kyle Morris lab?" So Duan Qing also let out a helpless sigh: "When you are mentally injured due to long-term fatigue, no one can escape from the clutches of sleep. ”

"That's why I told you to go to rest earlier." The door curtain was lowered again, and the body belonging to the snow spirit phantom ice had already entered the scope of the carriage: "Seeing that you have slept like this for a whole day, I know that something must be wrong with you." ”

"Don't mention it, I feel like I haven't slept." With the heated discussion he had with someone still echoing in his mind, Duan Qing couldn't help but sigh deeply: "This kind of behavior of returning to the login interface is not good for me, except for being idle, it is more tiring......"

"What did you say?"

The low self-talk seemed to be unrecognizable, Xue Lingphantom Ice tried to get closer and asked, and Duan Qing, who noticed the approach of the Dao aura, also subconsciously let go of the familiar aroma that was close at hand, and the body with the head also flashed towards the corresponding rear: "No, it's nothing, it's just a complaint...... How do you feel? ”

"Feelings?"

"I'm referring to your physical condition."

The slender arm supporting the upper body sent the face with long white hair in front of him, and Duan Qing's dodgy eyes were floating around like his sideways body at this time: "After such a long time, you should have recovered almost...... Wait a minute, since a whole day has passed, that is to say-"

"Uh, I didn't ......"

His face suddenly turned red, and Xue Lingphantom Bing took his body back along with his face wrapped in white hair, but Duan Qing, who didn't notice this shyness, came to the window with the blanket he had lifted, and looked at the scenery outside the carriage with his eyes open: "Are we almost there?" ”

"That's right." The shyness in his heart disappeared along with the disappointment, and Xue Lingphantom Bingfu, who pursed his lips, brought his body back together: "There were no other accidents in the migration procession, and the guards from all sides did not find any other abnormalities, so according to our travel route and travel speed, the planned destination is not far away." ”

"Surtu has sent an advance force to make preliminary representations with the people of this Huer steppe." Speaking of this, she sat down next to Duan Qing, took out the adventurer's map and began to signal to Duan Qing: "There should be a result soon." ”

"Huer Grassland?" Putting away his gaze towards the grassland, Duan Qing turned to take out his map as well: "Hmm, it turned out to be called this name...... So who are the main clans and forces here? ”

"Hulun tribe." Saying the name lightly, Xue Lingphantom Ice pointed out the front of the car window: "Probably those people." ”

"According to Surtu, they are also one of the big tribes of the steppe."

Following the direction pointed out by the white-haired woman at this time, Duan Qing also landed his eyes and attention on the front of the carriage that was slowly approaching, and the tents that were faintly visible were also like small dirt bags that appeared on the green of the grassland at this time, showing up little by little at the end of the verdant: "That's it...... That's almost time for us to prepare. ”

"Don't worry, Gedmayne and the always energetic Asahi Dongsheng have already started to prepare, and when the scouts of Surtu return—"

The words she wanted to say stopped in mid-air, and the sight that belonged to Xue Ling Phantom Bing, along with her movements, condensed on the large number of figures that were gradually approaching in the other direction in front of her, and Duan Qing, who was also aware of the return of these people, then looked in the same direction for a while, and then faintly put away her sighing voice: "Okay, it seems that it is much smoother than we imagined." ”

"Even the advance team has returned."

**********************************

"Let's come and assemble."

After a period of time, in the center of the convoy, the leaders of the different forces belonging to the migration team were also summoned by Surtu at this time, he looked around at every standing figure sitting above the various carriages, and the words he was about to speak also carried a bit of seriousness and solemnity: "We will soon enter the territory of the Hulun tribe, and it is also the territory of one of the main tribes on the Huer grassland, since we are outsiders, we should naturally fulfill every courtesy of visiting, so——"

"Before entering the other party's territory, I have something to say to you." His voice paused, and his breath froze for a moment as he closed his eyes for a moment: "It's also a warning and reminder: for the sake of our own honor and dignity, or for our safety and survival, please try not to make trouble in the settlement, okay?" ”

"Of course, this is also the usual rule of our Lufin Chamber of Commerce." The old man Lu Fen, who was leaning with his hands behind his back, was the first to grin and show his own smile: "Otherwise, our business will be very difficult." ”

"In addition, the Hulun tribe has prepared a special camp for us, which can be regarded as a special place to entertain temporary guests." Nodding at Lufin, Surtu turned his finger in the other direction of the steppe: "So we don't need to unload tents and other supplies, and we don't need to set up camp in another place, just stay there honestly." ”

"As long as it's safe enough, we don't have much of an opinion." Vabas on the side pursed his lips disdainfully: "My people and I are not here to fight, we just want to rest in peace and get through this most difficult day." ”

"In addition, the people of the Hulun tribe heard about our plight and expressed some sympathy for our plight." Patting his palms as a sign of encouragement, Surtu then gestured behind him: "Out of the same empathy, they are willing to provide us with some food and other supplies without affecting themselves, which can be regarded as the first expression of their kindness to us." “

"Of course, these things are not given away for nothing." Amidst the whispers and incredulous whispers that gradually sounded around him, the current patriarch of the Nasu tribe shifted slightly: "I can't say much about the specific situation, so I'll leave it to the envoy who came here with me to explain it." ”

A man dressed in the same tribal appearance and with an overall gray-white tone then appeared from behind Surtu, and his head, also wrapped in a gray-white felt hat, also lowered slightly in response to Shi Li's movements: "Hello tribes from the north. ”

"I am Hu Mobei, one of the elders of the Hulun clan."

A middle-aged man who looked like he was in his thirties and forties, the messenger who called himself Mo Pei then took the lead in introducing in a voice full of confidence: "On the orders of the elders of the Hulun clan, I have led five hundred people from Libei to receive you, and I hope that you can also take into account our position and understand our difficulties. ”

He gestured to a force of white cavalry that was accompanying the far end of the steppe not far away, and then resumed his standing posture with his hands folded: "Of course, as we said in our previous exchange of views with the Sultu Patriarch, we welcome your arrival, please believe it. ”

"It's okay." It didn't seem to care at all, and Sutar's originally serious face standing beside Surtu also became a little solemn at this time: "As long as we can understand each other, this level of deployment and defense is nothing at all, and if possible, we are willing to pay a certain degree in exchange for the friendliness of the nobles." ”

"That's exactly what I want to say." Raising one of his hands, the man who called himself Mope sorted out the position of the felt hat on his head: "Our patriarch has been working hard to maintain the balance and prosperity of this area, and the surrounding area of the Huer Grassland has not encountered any major incidents for a long time, and it is more peaceful than the other tribes around, but——"

"We've had some 'small' troubles lately."

Biting his own words, Hu Mobei looked around at the faces of everyone around him: "We are also dealing with these 'small' troubles ourselves, in the hope that we will not cause more problems to you, but with the current situation and progress, it seems that this is difficult to guarantee. ”

"So you want us to help you with these troubles."

Saying this on behalf of the other party, Baibu Wushuang, who was sitting in the corner of the convoy, frowned coldly: "This is your condition?" ”

"Well, don't be so hostile, I can assure you that we won't be hard for you, but will make our little demands within your means." Clapping his hands, Hu Mobei's expression was also a little exaggerated at this time: "And when I communicated with the noble patriarch before, the patriarch also made a full promise to us, and he said that you can fully afford such a responsibility and complete these quid pro quo conditions we have delivered." ”

"yes, I did promise it." Patting his chest, Surtu replied solemnly, "I'm also confident that we can complete these requests, after all—"

"There are also many people on our side who can be called good at this."

As he said this, his gaze gradually fell on Duan Qing, who had not spoken since the beginning and pointed to his nose with an innocent face at this time.
