Chapter 448: Li Mo's Thoughts
In the silence of the night, a bonfire crackled, the sound of burning wood.
By the campfire, Li Mo was sitting on the side, holding his breath, feeling something carefully. Beside him, Menette lay there, squinting at the sparks that danced from time to time in the campfire. , on the other hand, was already asleep on his stomach, and from time to time there was a snoring sound.
Around the bonfire, several temporary tents were set up, and Anna and the others were resting in them at this time. Although he has already embarked on the journey home, Li Mo has already walked too far when he came out this time. If you want to go back, you can't do it in a day.
At this time, it had been three days since Li Mo and the others left Arena City. Now they are in a position that has just entered the barren plains. As soon as they left the sphere of influence of the Human Alliance, the bustling towns were suddenly replaced by desolate grasslands. After staying in the human world for a period of time, returning here again, Li Mo felt the difference between the two places more deeply.
In the Human Alliance, even in the wilderness between cities, the roads are solid, and the constant flow of people comes and goes, so that those weeds have no chance to grow at all. And the civilians of each city are also relieved to walk on the roads outside the city, not worried about encountering sudden disasters.
In the barren plains, the roads are reopened every year by caravans. During the off-season of the caravan, unbridled weeds flood the path of the caravan again, waiting for the caravan to open it up again next year.
There is no road in the world, but when there are many people walking, it will become a road. According to this point of view, not enough people traveled on the barren plains.
As for the wilderness, except for some powerful professionals, the caravan needs to gather a large number of guards before they dare to travel between cities on the barren plains. As for the civilian population, on the barren plains, there are very few civilians who do not have any abilities. If you want to survive in the barren plains, you'll need at least some basic self-protection skills to deal with all kinds of unexpected dangers.
Even so, a large number of inhabitants, throughout their lives, did not leave the small tribe where they lived. The people you come into contact with in your life may not be as many people as an ordinary child in a big city of the Human Alliance in a year.
An artificial border separates the lands on both sides of the border into two completely different worlds. On one side is a prosperous life, and on the other side is a backward world. The huge contrast between the two sides gave Li Mo a sense of urgency.
The inhabitants of the barren plains, although they were the losers of the war. However, there is no need for them to endure such a life. At the same time, on the barren plains, the population is not small. If given the right opportunity, they could have enjoyed a better life than they have now.
I think of the simple and kind minotaurs of the Angry Ox tribe, as well as the honest horned dragons, the blood clan who are enthusiastic and obsessed with art and skills, and the bold dwarves. None of them should live like this.
In Li Mo's heart, he had already thought about what he would do next after returning to Twilight Hills. First of all, I have to find a way to help the people of Twilight Hills live a better life.
At the same time, Li Mo also had more expectations for the books he brought back. Now, he didn't just want to find information about the Goddess of Light. Perhaps, if possible, he may be able to find more information from it, for example, the causes of the barren plains.
The > mentioned by Ben Krener gave Li Mo a great inspiration. Perhaps, if you find the cause of the Barren Plains, you will be able to solve the problem that the berserk magic has caused all the inhabitants of the Barren Plains.
If you can solve this matter, then it is equivalent to loosening the shackles that bind everyone on the barren plain. The reason why the barren plains have such a desolate state of affairs has a lot to do with the magic of rage.
Under the influence of berserk magic, everyone's ascension has become extremely difficult. Moreover, all of them are under the erosion of the violent magic at all times. Every once in a while, you need to use secret methods to clear the berserk magic accumulated in your body.
In fact, the impact of berserk magic on the body is far less than the impact on the psyche. After all, this secret method of periodically expelling the magic of rage is actually a reminder every time that your body is in an abnormal state, and it may completely collapse one day. Under the influence of this psychology, everyone will feel that the future of themselves and their community is dark.
In the absence of a bright future in sight. No one wants to struggle, all they can do is maintain their current life. This kind of psychology, although it is not very obvious in everyone's heart, has always existed. So much so that it has become the norm of everyone's life in the barren plains, and they are accustomed to it.
For this point, in the Human Alliance, Li Mo can also see the contrast brought by this psychology. In the Human Alliance, although there are also people who are crushed by real life. However, those, in general, are elderly. And the young people in the Human Alliance have expectations for the future on their faces. They firmly believe that as long as they work hard enough, they can always strive for a brilliant future.
In the barren plains, the young people here will only follow behind their parents, learn their skills, and when they grow up, they will continue on their path. For life, there are no thoughts that want to change.
Perhaps some people think that this will be peaceful. But in Li Mo's view, this is twilight, despair of losing the future.
Li Mo had a hunch about the books in Krener's bookstore. It may be the most valuable asset of my trip. The hidden information in that will be beyond your imagination.
And the power hidden in the bookstore, Li Mo also had all kinds of speculations. However, in the end, they were all vetoed by themselves. After leaving the bookstore, Menette talked to Limer about how she felt at the time.
At that time, Menette said, it was as if it was under the watchful eye of a higher god. At the same time, there was no hint of friendliness in the god.
If it wanted to, it could kill itself very easily, and dissipate without a trace. At that time, Menette and, who were helpless, could only hide in their main body and seek Limer's protection.
In terms of strength, Li Mo may be very different from the owner of the bookstore, but in terms of rank, they are equal. At this time, Li Mo is also a member of the gods in the understanding of the will of the world. Therefore, as long as Li Mo did not agree, that force could not directly attack the machine spirit that belonged to Li Mo.
