Unicorns are restless.

This intelligent biopsy is far more perceptive than humans. Mira soothed it, its uneasiness proving that there was nothing wrong with the direction they were heading.

The change in weather was another proof, although it wasn't as cold as it used to be, but in less dense woods, you could always look up and see dark clouds swirling in the distant sky.

A significant number of the hunting mercenaries who had already heard the mages explain before their trip thought that this was proof that the witch had been weakened - it was a welcome thing that she no longer possessed the magic power that was large enough to cover an entire area as before. But Orno and Camilo and our Mr. Sage don't think so.

It is true that magic can lead to natural phenomena. The scope and degree of change in this natural phenomenon are also related to the total amount of magic itself, but powerful magicians do not necessarily have their own storms and snow when they walk, not to mention Camilo, a magic teacher who is only considered excellent among humans, and even the stronger Orno does not have such jaw-dropping exaggerations on weekdays.

This is because, in the final analysis, the phenomenon of magic gravitational nature is a manifestation of immaturity. Large-scale climate change is often associated with the birth of powerful monsters, but it is not necessarily where powerful monsters exist.

This phenomenon is known in the wizard profession as "passive mana overflow" - to put it in layman's terms, it means that the individuals who possess magic are immature and do not know how to control their magic power, causing them to overflow all the time, which in turn leads to the phenomenon of climate change.

And if this concept is further extended, the witch's influence on the weather will not be as drastic as before. Thinking optimistically you can indeed think that she is getting weaker, but if not.

She is.

The level of control over magic has improved.

"Just think about it. "A magician's total mana is set at 1oo, and if he can't control his mana and is passively overflowing all the time, then a lot of mana is actually lost and wasted on meaningless things. ”

"Let's assume that number is 6o, and the magic of this 6o causes a large area of weather change, and it does cause considerable distress. ”

"However, this is still not really offensive or defensive magic, it is just a passive and long-term consumption, resulting in the total amount of mana of the mage being 1oo, and only 4o can actually be used. ”

"That's why the first lesson of a magician is to control yourself. ”

"Magic. Camilo added.

"When they learn to control their magic, it's not as intimidating visually, even though it's no longer the incredible climate effects. However, because the use of magic is more efficient, the mana will not be lost uncontrollably, and the efficiency of spell casting and the strength of magic will be higher. ”

In other words. ”

"It's more deadly. ”

“......”

Morale was once in a low state under the explanation of the two high-ranking magicians, but the selection of elite players for this trip was all elite. Not to mention the staunch paladins, these people under Stephen, who are adventurers and hunting mercenaries, are definitely not deserters.

It is common for their industry to fight with large creatures and wild nature, and if it were not for the fighting spirit of people, they would definitely not be able to persevere to this point.

Many people often think that a good adventurer must be knowledgeable and physically fit, but as a figure like Captain Stephen, he often values optimism when choosing new recruits.

Because both knowledge and physical fitness can be supplemented and absorbed by the training and sharpening of the day after tomorrow, but if a person does not have the optimism to never give up in a difficult situation, then even if the situation is not bad to that extent, he is likely to give up early.

The spirit of the carefully selected adventurers is what makes them adapt to the crisis quickly, but the spiritual aspect of morale is not damaged, but physically they encounter an insurmountable chasm.

"Click-" "Boom-"

In the afternoon of the third day, lightning and thunder began to roar in the sky.

This time, the changes in the weather are not all caused by the witch, and after the sharp cooling down, the magic effect subsides and leads to warming, and it is only natural that there will be a rainstorm due to the rapid change in air pressure and temperature difference.

It's just that when it came, the group just happened to be going downhill, and the vines in the deep mountains and old forests were all over the place, and if the rain was even more slippery, desperately trying to catch up with the journey for a few more hours would likely cause them to suffer heavy losses.

Not taking unnecessary risks is the hallmark of a mature team, and even though it was the first time to travel together with Stephen and the other mercenaries, the Paladins were all at home in it, with a sense of fluidity and comfort in working with acquaintances.

This feeling comes from each other's specialization in the final analysis, famous teachers and high apprentices, since our white girl is a teacher of Henry, then what she has learned is naturally all the essence and there is no dross.

The experience and knowledge that Henry had accumulated over a long period of time were consistent with the common sense that adventurers and paladins had learned from time to time.

There is no annoying arrogance that often appears in the low-level mercenary team, and they are clearly ignorant of the situation, and they have to slap their swollen faces and become fat, just to satisfy their desire to express themselves.

I didn't secretly stumble on my teammates for the sake of my own face, and I couldn't tell if the situation had reached the point where it was a short-sighted fool.

Mercenaries and paladins have a clear division of labor and are extremely efficient. It's what a team of experts and veterans should look like, and our Milla feels at home in the middle of a group of people with an average age of 4o.

The camp was quickly set up, and the mercenaries put the cauldron outside to fetch water, and it was still a little early before dinner time, because of the rain and wind, they planned to warm up a little wine in the way of a large cauldron and a small pot to warm up their bodies.

The rain poured down the sloping tarp down the slope, and after the last horse had been placed in the shelter, the busy people could finally rest.

"At least we don't have to worry about water in the short term. Looking at the curtain of rain on the outskirts of the dark camp, Henry shrugged his shoulders and said, while Captain Stephen looked at him with a complicated expression.

This time, the Luoan girl was assigned to the ignition group. Wood to burn is not scarce in the entire Bao Forest, where most of these trees have been frozen to death by the bitter cold. The pack horses that had consumed their food were placed with pre-collected and chopped firewood, which was a big difference from when traveling in small groups, and they needed more than just small branches to boil so many large iron pots, and the mercenaries brought several large and small axes, cut down dead trees, and then split them into small pieces of firewood for burning.

The rainstorm came suddenly, and even though it had stopped beforehand, many people were still drenched, and the same was true for firewood. The girl and the mercenaries of the fire group threw the wet wood to the side first, then took out the relatively dry wood and split it with a small hand axe, and then used a knife to cut off the central part of the dry heartwood into sawdust, and placed it on the stone pad for ignition.

Mira had done this countless times by striking the flint with a fire sickle to splash sparks and ignite the ignition object, but even that was difficult to ignite in a humid environment. However, after arriving here, she learned a new set of moves with the local mercenaries, which greatly increased her success rate.

This new little object with the fire sickle is called carbon cloth, and the reason why people on the West Coast have not used it has to do with the level of technology. The principle of making carbon cloth is to simmer, use an iron box with a small hole on the top, cut cotton and linen cloth into a suitable size and put it in it, and then burn it through the iron box.

Because of the confined space, the cloth does not burn to ash as if it were exposed to the air, but will be black carbonized and become an excellent ignition similar to charcoal, but thin and with many holes.

This simple little object requires a certain level of common sense and civilization - at least to the extent that the tin box can be afforded by ordinary people - and on the west coast where iron-making and forging skills are not as good as those of Padrosida, it is more likely that they are used to hold all kinds of things, so it is only natural that they do not understand this skill.

Cover the flint with a carbon cloth and strike it vigorously with a fire sickle. The sparks from the collision of the two fell directly on the flammable carbon cloth, and the dark red spark immediately began to simmer and spread, which was far more efficient than constantly tapping on a pile of wood chips and expecting the spark to fall into it and ignite.

After the charcoal cloth was lit, the girl put it on the sawdust, and after the simmer turned into an open flame, she gradually added some small twigs, and when the flame was high enough, it was placed under the pot rack along with the stone slab.

The rising fire lit up the interior of the tarpaulin-covered camp on a cloudy day, and the work of controlling the flames to make sure it didn't get too high enough to burn the tarps was left to the other mercenaries, and Mira walked to the side and the cooks began to process the warm-up drinks.

Pure alcohol will cause them to start getting drunk now, so even if they warm up, they still have to mix the warm wine with water and other things to make a kind of afternoon drink that mercenaries often drink that is not so easy to get drunk.

The girl looked around, Henry and Stephen, as well as Adolphus, Camilo and the others were together, holding the map from before Mario and confirming the direction of progress.

Orno sat alone at the exit on the other side.

Although only a few people in the team on this trip, including the girl herself, knew the truth about the witch, the fact that she was an elf was enough to discourage ordinary people.

Not only because it feels unattainable, but also because I don't know how to communicate with her.

"What are you thinking?" said Mira, who walked over and sat down next to her.

The little unicorn leaned over and rubbed Mira with its side face, and the Roan Maiden reached out and scratched its chin.

"It doesn't seem to be that scared of you anymore. ”

"......" Orno looked at them in silence.

"It's getting closer, aren't you nervous?" she asked, and Mira hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.

"Because he's there?" said the elf, and Mira glanced back at Henry, then nodded, and shook her head again.

"Probably the ignorant are fearless. The white girl smiled and said this to Orno, who was stunned for a moment, first lowered her head, and then turned her head to look out.

The girl looked at the elf's face, which even she thought was stunningly beautiful as a person of the same sex, and the latter hesitated for a moment, then smiled.

"Really...... It is because you know nothing that you can become anything. ”

"I finally understood the charm of human beings. Horno turned her head, and despite her appearance being younger than Mira, her smile gave a sense of time.

"I, and many other elves, understand my destiny, my duty. ”

"Elves don't have a country, and they don't have too many nationalities, and although we have the same physical differences as humans, elves only talk about duties, only about positions. ”

"Every elf knows what he or she will do in the future from birth, and we call it 'Destiny'. And the elves who have rebelled against their destiny for thousands of years. ”

"There are only a handful. ”

"Obedience, strict self-discipline, and refrain from contact with outsiders and other races, unless it is absolutely necessary. ”

"It's not free. Mira furrowed her eyebrows.

"Yes, not free. Humans may think so, but freedom is dangerous. ”

"Elves possess far more powerful abilities than humans, and if they lose their order and the destiny of strict self-discipline, if everyone does whatever they want, it will cause an extremely terrible bloody storm. ”

"Look at me, isn't that an example?" she still smiled faintly, but not with pleasure.

"We live longer than humans and have a greater ability to control magic. Therefore freedom is dangerous for us, and it is also dangerous for rebellious minds to be different, and the race can only survive if all the elves stick to their rightful posts according to the Mandate of Heaven. ”

"Harmony with nature is the only way to sustain it. ”

"Breaking this practice and trying to pursue so-called happiness and beauty is like trying to hold the sand with your hands. ”

"At the end of the day, there's nothing left. Orno was still smiling, but the smile was getting more bitter.

"Everything .......," she said, and Mira frowned, trying to say something to contradict Orno, but she felt that whatever she said was only a scar on the other's face.

"Anyway—" The elf looked up, as if to break the heavy atmosphere.

"A free heart is a good thing, at least for you. ”

"Because you are nothing now, you can also be anything. ”

"I think that's probably why he's traveling with you without asking you what kind of person you have to be. ”

"Because the future is uncertain. ”

"It's what you can look forward to. ”

Horno said, a look of remembrance on her face: "This is what my lover said when he took me on an adventure. ”

"I was hesitant to go back and return to the days when everything was orderly, stable, and everything was predictable—"

"Although I'm a bad example. ”

But there is nothing wrong with that. ”

She said lightly, and a mercenary behind her came over with two hot drinks.

"Ladies?"

"Thank you. ”

"It's getting closer. ”

"Yes. ”

"It's all going to end here. ”
