(75) The Far East (Yuffie Stanmitz, II)

Yuffie and Lynn quickly exchanged glances, and at the same time saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The blonde girl ran quickly to her and lowered her voice, "Yufie, you've heard of it...... Does Pfister have a twin brother? ”

"Don't guess." She shook her head amusedly, deciding to confirm her doubts in a more direct way. She looked up at the man who walked up to them, and spoke in Elner, "Mr. Pfister?" ”

"I'm Ahsan here." The male also responded to her in Elna, "That's all." ”

"But, you're obviously from Elna—" Lynn interjected, staring at him suspiciously, "When did you come here from the El Continent?" ”

The man didn't seem to hear Lynn's question. His gaze passed over the two of them and looked to the far west horizon.

"The Elna people...... Scold. He chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I used to be, but now ...... The title doesn't make sense anymore. ”

Yufpe's eyes flashed, and he didn't continue to ask, but silently sorted out the clues he knew. Pfister—or at least the man who looks like Pfister—says that the title "doesn't make sense anymore." What does it mean if this does not mean that he himself has abandoned his identity as an Elna for some reason, or has been expelled by the other party?

"Well, from now on, you can live here." The man didn't delay any longer, turned around and was about to leave, "The specific place to live, Qingluo will arrange it for you." ”

Yuffie looked at the man's back and decided to make one last attempt. She took a deep breath and almost shouted, "What happened to your companions in Brigade, Vanka, Hylanthia, and Hughes!" ”

The man's footsteps froze, and when he turned around, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, as if he wanted to pierce the girl's whole body. But the next moment, the sharpness had vanished, and he slowly turned back to his body, sighing almost imperceptibly.

"Dead." He spat out those two words gloomily and never looked back.

"It's really him." The blonde girl watched the man slowly walk away and whispered to Yufy, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"I don't know, maybe there was some kind of deviation in the process of traveling—the power of the Mirror Realm may be more complicated than we expected." Yuffie replied softly, using words to soothe some uneasiness in his heart, "But it's okay, we have enough time to investigate everything. ”

……

From this day on, Yuffie and Lin temporarily settled in this small village called Lily of the Valley.

Like the rest of the villagers, they help grow crops in the neighborhood, hunt, handle prey, and attend village gatherings from time to time, living a simple and leisurely life. Of course, in their free time, they did not put down the study and practice of secret arts—the pursuit of strength and knowledge was almost endless for wizards.

Their primary goal is to learn the language of the continent. Every day, they try to interact and chat with as many other villagers as possible. As the sun rises again and again, the weather gradually warms up, and they no longer need to be connected by heart to communicate fluently.

During this time, they relayed some of the things about the El Continent to the inhabitants of this side - not much, because 'Ahsan' didn't seem to want to hear that, and at the same time, they learned a lot of news about the continent from the mouths of the inhabitants here.

To their bewilderment, the content of the messages was far from what Jill had described to them.

This continent is indeed inhabited by both youkai and humans known as the Inir. Jill once described a world in which humans struggle to survive as vassals of youkai in the midst of endless fighting and strife. According to the monsters of Lily of the Valley Village, there are two large and stable kingdoms that have been established for hundreds of years on this continent.

One of them is known as the Innis Empire, which, as the name suggests, is a kingdom founded by the Inir people. They occupy a vast area in the southern part of the continent, and although they have not been wiped out, they are not very friendly to youkai. The villagers couldn't tell how long the empire had been around, but the four hundred and twenty-year-old youkai said that the empire had existed since the day he became a youkai.

The other is called the Gipnis Alliance, which is said to be a kingdom formed by youkai in response to pressure from the Innis Empire. There is only one king of the alliance, and the ruling is jointly carried out by several great elders of the demon clan. The Gipnes Alliance is relatively loose, and small villages like Lily of the Valley, with only a few dozen people, seem to be not a few in the alliance.

There has always been friction between the two vast kingdoms, but there have been very few large-scale wars. In times of relative peace, it is said that there were also adventurous yokai or daring human traders who crossed the border to each other's kingdoms. Of course, none of this had anything to do with the small village they were currently in, in the northern border of the Alliance.

The residents of Lily of the Valley Village also don't quite fit their initial perception of monsters. They claim that youkai value strength, but in fact they are not aggressive, and their use of power is quite rudimentary. Most villagers are limited to using the talents they gain from their avatars, not caring if they can be further enhanced. Qingluo's 'magic technique' was practiced by herself, but she also didn't have much interest in becoming stronger.

On this day, the two finished their research on the things and secret arts in the village, and lay side by side under the warm sun, chatting about all kinds of meaningful or meaningless things.

"So, it's likely that we're really in a world that's similar to Al, but not the same?" Lin put her hands behind her head and yawned lightly, "Then I'm going to collect some evidence and go back, this is a big discovery." ”

That's true - the hypothesis that there are a large number of very similar crystal wall systems in the universe is prevalent among wizards. There is no "credible enough" evidence to prove this argument - oral accounts are not admissible, and whatever they see is not strange to the insane wizards.

However, for some reason, Yuffie always felt that this was not a simple "parallel world". There must be some kind of actual reason for them to come here.

Could it be because her mother is here right now? But she came here...... Or what is it that you are trying to tell them by leading them here?

As for 'Pfister', the reason why he is so reluctant about the affairs of the El Continent is that it has something to do with the ending of the rest of the "Brigade". In this way, is the situation of the disbandment of "Brigade" ten years ago also different from the original world-

Too many clueless clues were tangled together, which made her decisively give up and continue to think. The girl turned over and turned her face in the direction of her friend to make herself lie more comfortable, "Perhaps, the moment we set foot on the El continent here, we will be able to understand the origin of many things." ”
