"Those two carriages were parked right here." Leia said as she walked to the stables and pointed to the four empty seats, "Their horses are resting there, and they are pretty good swallows." He was referring to a breed of horse from the Northeast Wastelands, known for its stamina and ability to endure thirst, "Well, now it's your turn, Miss Witch." ”

"Leave it to me." Yuffie replied with a smile, then closed his eyes and began to channel the power that belonged to the arcane arts.

She is not a natural messenger who is familiar with the earth as if she were a body, nor is she a youkai with some magical talent. However, as a wizard, she was able to do better than those people.

The spell she uses is called "Psiness", and it is more like a magic than a mystical art.

The principle of the spell is not difficult to understand - replacing the usual senses with magic, gathering all the 'visible' information from the surrounding environment, and then sifting through valuable clues. That being said, it takes not only subtle control of the magic to do this, but also the ability to take in large amounts of information and quickly distinguish and filter out the 'noise'.

Often, this is a physically and energetic process, and it is likely to lead to nothing. Luckily, Yuffie found in practice that her "intuition" was just as effective for this spell.

The magic swirled around her, and soon it was completely gone. Yuffie opened his eyes, looking at Lea expectantly.

"Guess where they went?" She asked calmly with a wink.

The young ranger gave a thumbs up to the east. "You don't want to say anything, do you?" He shrugged, "I mean the outside of the border. ”

Yuffie nodded.

"That's right." "The carriage went to the Far East, as you said, a land that is completely uninhabitable for human habitation," she said. ”

Leia shrugged his shoulders again, as if he had expected it. Anya's eyes flickered faintly, a mixture of anticipation and concern. Man Tianxing stood beside him, smiling and looking at the girl who was the demon king, without saying a word.

"Wow." Only Lin exclaimed exaggeratedly, "So what does that aunt want to do, she can't really plan to fund youkai, right?" ”

This sentence of the blonde girl is naturally a joke. Combined with the information previously obtained, another inference may be closer to the truth. However, until more truth is confirmed with her own eyes, Yuffie does not intend to draw any conclusions.

Wrong assumptions can ruin an entire experiment – just as a single wrong inference can lead an investigation off course altogether.

"Speaking of which, Yu Feng's purpose is to kill the monsters, and Shui Yun is still unsure......" The blonde girl continued to mumble, "Leia, what is your purpose?" ”

"There used to be no purpose, just to live alone. As for now...... I want to see how far some people can go. The young ranger glanced at Anya and chuckled, "Let's go, I'm afraid the answer you want is not far away." ”

……

Teleporting to a location you've never been to is extremely risky—and probably not.

There is no general rule between the coordinates of the astral plane and the positioning of the main plane, and the coordinates of two seemingly similar coordinates are actually dozens of miles apart, or even farther away. In fact, the need to walk dozens of miles more is already one of the best endings - teleporting to a completely unfamiliar place, falling into an environment where humans cannot live, or even getting lost in the astral boundary, is not an impossible consequence.

In El's Wizards' Federation, it is said that there are an average of more than twenty mid-level wizards who are seriously injured or killed by teleportation every year. For a wizard who is already a small number, this is already quite a high percentage.

Sora privately gave them another map, which was the 'gift' he had given him personally. It's just that the location of the map is a little subtle, and neither Yuffie nor Lynn thinks that this is the best time to go there and explore.

So, they just followed the map of the empire, teleported to the eastern border, passed through the checkpoint where there were few people guarding it, and then continued to the east. As for the young ranger's companions, they didn't seem to join the action, and Leia didn't explain why.

As the young ranger had mentioned, the Far East, located beyond the borders of the Empire, was not at all suitable for human beings - or rather, for any living being.

Every day, the blazing sun bakes the earth without reservation, evaporating any water that can remain in the soil; At night, the temperature plummets to minus 10 degrees Celsius, leaving drought- and heat-tolerant creatures no room to survive. The two extremes of climate change incessantly, turning this place into a land that is mottled and cracked, with almost no vegetation.

"It's not a normal climate." Yuphie has cast a secret spell on everyone in the team to protect them from the extreme weather, "Similar to the Desperate Mountains and the Sea of Storms, it is the disturbance of magic that has caused the anomalous environment here. ”

"It's a good thing we didn't teleport directly, otherwise we wouldn't even know how we died." Lynn patted her chest exaggeratedly, then frowned, "Is there really a human being able to survive here?" ”

"Don't underestimate humans." Leia spread her hands to the blonde girl, the smile on her face was a little complicated, "No matter what kind of environment you throw yourself in, there are always some people who can adapt and try to survive." Because of this, during the period when youkai ruled the continent, the human race was not completely extinct. ”

No matter what the environment...... Is it?

Yuffie didn't know if she could believe it. Human beings are sometimes excessively fragile, and sometimes they are tenacious. What she thought of was another doubt that had disappeared—

"Leia." Yuffie looked up, just in time to hear Anya say what she was thinking, "While youkai still rule over humans...... Do all youkai have a servile attitude towards humans? ”

"Oh, interesting question." Leia turned her head and squinted her eyes slightly at the girl, "As far as I know, youkai who are extremely harsh on human 'subordinates' are actually only a few. As for the youkai who have discovered the potential of humans and see them as helpers and even 'companions' worth cultivating...... There may be, but certainly not much. As for most of the rest, it's better to call them unfriendly 'employers'. ”

"Because of what humans need......" Yuffie whispered as he walked over to the young ranger, "it wasn't much of value to those powerful youkai at the time, was it?" ”

"That's right." Leia shrugged, "But there's one thing that those youkai can't give after all, and that's true freedom. He chuckled, "I didn't think you'd be interested in this past history." All I know is that if we don't speed up, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with them for the rest of our lives. ”

"Freedom...... ? Anya muttered to herself, "Humans who don't want to join the Empire, youkai who are not subject to the jurisdiction of the Alliance, what do they really need......?" ”

Yuffie doesn't care about the history that has long gone, nor does it care about the present that Anya fears. However, there is no need to explain anything at the moment - it is just a distant speculation that may not be possible at all.

The girl pursed the corners of her mouth silently, her fingers drawing glittering runes in the air, letting the magic give everyone the power to move forward.
