"Your strength comes from the land?" Xue Yuan raised his eyebrows curiously, it was the first time he had heard of the saying that the power of witches came from the land, according to the common settings in the novels, movies, TV series, and countless RPG games he had played, the source of witches' power should be bloodline, forbidden knowledge, and mystery!

"Of course, otherwise what do you think was the cause of the war between humans and witches on the Old World? And now why are the Yankees at war with the South? Scarlett wiped her greasy lips with a handkerchief, "Do you think they're fighting for money?" No, this is not accurate. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThey fought for the vast arable fields with neat furrows, for the green pastures for grazing livestock, for the slowly winding yellow river, for the shady white houses among the magnolia trees. These are the only things that are worth fighting for to the death, for the land that belongs to them and their descendants, for the land that produces cotton for their children and grandchildren. I, too, am no exception. ”

"Isn't it exempt from extraordinary powers? It's a bit new. Xue Yuan said. I thought that people with extraordinary power would be more pure-hearted? ”

"I really believe that you don't know anything, and that you are a traveler from the outer continent who came by mistake from the outside world." Scarlett's eyes widened.

"How?"

"The existence of extraordinary power in the Old World and the New World is inseparable from the ground beneath our feet. Whether they are witches, knights, vampires, priests or scholars, no one can live without the land. And witches, as the oldest transcendent beings, have a thirst for land far more than anything else. For witches, there is nothing more important than land. ”

Scarlett said, raising her index finger and saying, "For example, more than 500 years ago, there was a great witch who was annoyed with the humans who continued to open up the land and encroach on her territory, causing the Black Death, which reduced the population of the Old World by more than 25 million in four years, and that period can be regarded as the last glorious period of witches." ”

"Sounds crazy, why did she do that?"

"Why?" Scarlett laughed unladylike as if she had heard some joke, "Because in the eyes of witches, humans are similar to mice, with the same amazing reproductive power, and the same very annoying." What reason do you think she should not do as she builds filthy nests on the ground and encroaches on the land that the witch has taken from the beasts? ”

"Well, from a witch's point of view, there's nothing wrong with that. But then what? Humanity pulls back a game? "Xue Yuan is very curious about the historical direction of this world.

"Of course, it is impossible to defeat Chloe, the Great Witch, with humans alone. There are also human beings with extraordinary powers, and they derive power from the land in a different way than witches, and they need a large number of ordinary humans to help them open up the wasteland and seize the power of the earth. They organized a powerful order of knights to defeat Chloe, the Great Witch, and sealed her at a nearly cost. ”

"They sealed Chloe the Great Witch, but they put Chloe to good use of the results of her research - the Black Death, smallpox, injuries, measles, flu, and plague. They have conquered two new continents with these treasures~"

"So, you witches lost?"

"We lost, but it wasn't the knights and priests who pretended to be righteous and full of thieves and prostitutes who changed the tide of the war. Humanity has been given the experimental notes of many witches in the long struggle, which has given rise to a profession called Scholar. Fire and iron kept them alive during the witches' strongest time, while dynamite and steam turned them around and became masters. ”

Scarlett sighed, "If that weren't the case, why would the witches flee across the ocean to the New World?" Or even change the way I used to be, become a manor like me, and develop the plantation industry with humans? ”

The scene suddenly fell silent, and Xue Yuan realized that maybe his topic was too heavy. In order to break the deadlock, he had to choose something more lighthearted.

"I was embarrassed to ask just now, why did that black slave sneak up on me? You've told him to stop. Xue Yuan asked.

"I'm not that stupid black slave, how do I know what he thinks." Hao Scarlett waved his hand disdainfully, "But I know that guy has a bad heart for a long time, after all, the bounty offered by the northern Yankees is really tempting, isn't it?" A witch is worth 10,000 dollars, whether dead or alive, big or small. ”

Hao Scarlett sneered, and slapped his two younger sisters who were still eating canned food with both hands, "The black slaves who don't know the inside story have all run away, and the timid Mama and Dilsie stayed because they had nowhere to go, and the reason why Pock, a strong black slave, stayed, was not because he knew that I and these two foolish sisters were witches?" That's $30,000. Otherwise, with his stature, he might be able to be a petty officer in the army of the Yankees. ”

"Hmm!" The two little girls covered their heads aggrievedly, but they didn't dare to resist under the power of their sister.

"When the Yankee soldiers came, he didn't report it because he was too greedy to take the $30,000 for himself. But seeing such a powerful guy as you suddenly appear, whether you choose to go against me or turn enemies into friends, it is a huge blow to Pok who wants to take a reward of 30,000 US dollars, and it is normal to sneak up on you in anger. ”

"Besides, don't ask me why he has the confidence to attack you as a transcendent being, if the black slave is here," Scarlett pointed to his head, "If you are at the level of a normal person, why be a human slave?" Maybe he felt that the boiled duck had flew, and the 30,000 dollars had never been with him, so he suddenly lost his mind and attacked you, and finally died tragically~ Can you understand this? ”

"A very reasonable explanation." Xue Yuan said, "But I still want to ask a question. ”

"Just ask." "For the sake of these canned meats you brought." ”

"You know that the black slave has bad intentions, why do you keep him? Don't say you can't kill him. ”

Hao Sijia looked at Xue Yuan with a mentally handicapped expression. "Kill him? Please, before you come, he's the only male left in Tara Manor. Kill him, who will drive out the old sow hiding in the swamp? Who will harvest the corn and cotton that are about to ripen? Who's going to fix furniture that's broken by the Yankees? You don't want a couple of women to do this kind of stupid physical work on their own, do you! ”

Xue Yuan blinked, and suddenly had a very ominous premonition......
