The typo was later corrected] Southern Province, the vast Kassam Mountains.
A railway winds its way through the valley. From a God's perspective, it looks like a snake passing between the peaks.
The rails of this railway are already rusty. Only the top half of the rails that are in contact with the train wheels shines with metallic luster, reflecting the scorching sunlight.
This railway is the only transportation line connecting the southern provinces to the north.
Vera Alexandra was walking slowly along the path beside the railroad tracks.
The reason why she did not take the train was because she was not in a hurry to go to the southern provinces, so she chose to walk through the Kassam Mountains to enjoy the scenery along the original route.
Stop and go, more than twenty days have passed.
After walking a few kilometers, Vera found a flat rock as a temporary camp for today.
After taking a sip of water, she breathed a long sigh of relief and carefully felt the talismans around her.
"Sure enough, Fuyuan Desert."
Vera sighed.
This is another reason why she chooses to walk.
Pandora's No. 8 Secret Realm Icefield was detonated, and the entire Kassam Mountains were covered by the rune desert it produced. Vera also wanted to experience for herself the magic of the existence known as the rune desert.
After this period of investigation, she discovered many interesting points.
The so-called symbol source desert means that there are no symbol sources in this area at all, or to put it in another way that is easy to understand...the symbol source energy contained in the air is extremely low.
Under normal circumstances, rune source energy exists anywhere on the continent, and rune source is also the basis for contractors to use this ability.
For contractors below the semi-spirit level, their body is like a rechargeable battery, and the power is the source of the talisman. When consuming the source of talisman in battle or other ways, their own "power" is consumed first until it is exhausted. Until all the sources of symbols are lighted.
But it doesn't matter if it is used up. When the surrounding environment is full of talisman sources, the contractor can slowly restore his own electric talisman source by resting, so that it can reach a sufficient state again.
The higher the contract level, the faster the "charging" speed and the greater the battery capacity.
The reason is very simple...
The power of the contractor who is above semi-spirit is precisely because it is not only a large-capacity battery, but also because it can activate the source of symbols between heaven and earth, and the charging speed is almost as fast as the consumption.
But in the Fuyuan Desert, the content of Fuyuan is extremely low.
If it cannot be replenished, it cannot "charge" and can only consume its own source of symbols.
Of course, this is not absolute. Even in the Fuyuan Desert, there are still exceptions, which are like isolated islands in the sea. There are also some extremely small "oases" in the Fuyuan Desert.
Although the talisman energy in the oasis is not as good as that outside the desert, fortunately there is still some talisman energy condensed.
This was also the reason why Vera had not exhausted all her talisman resources in the desert for more than twenty days. She explored while walking. After encountering this "oasis", she tried her best to use it as a camp for the night and rest. Restore the source of symbols.
The hillside next to the railway track I have chosen is an "oasis".
"It's so magical and unpredictable."
Vera felt the slowly growing source of symbols in her body, and finally relaxed and dared to continue talking to Mo Zhi at this time.
"Yes." An unpredictable voice sounded from her heart.
"The rocks and vegetation in this Fuyuan desert are almost the same as those outside, but there is no Fuyuan."
Through Vera's eyes, Mo Zhi also saw the scenery along the way for more than 20 days, and then he felt something.
In the Fuyuan Desert of Kassam Mountain, except for the lack of Fuyuan, the trees, flowers and grass are still full of green, and there are no changes in the rocks and land, just like the outside world.
"Yes." Vera nodded: "Yes, for ordinary people, this Fuyuan Desert has no impact, but for contractors, this place is like a restricted area."
"Unless the contractor doesn't use abilities, in that case, there will be no difference from ordinary people in the Fuyuan Desert..."
These words made Tyrande's memory of "home" echo in Unpredictable.
Home is also a desert of symbols.
Comparing it now, it makes Mo Zhi understand a lot of things. The properties of Fuyuan Desert may be the reason why the elves in "Homeland" live a hard life.
You must know that elves are born with the ability to make contracts. In addition, they do not have to pay a price, do not have to endure emotional obsessions, and are not crazy. The elves should be very powerful.
With such a powerful contract ability, how could the secret realm of the violent sea restrict them?
If your home is the Fuyuan Desert, that's a different matter.
The few oases should be where the Twelve Tribes are located. This should not be wrong, but even so, I am afraid that the "charging piles" of the elves are not enough... Tyrande's memory The situation shown in is consistent with this.
The elves can only restore the source of talisman within the tribe, and those places with high amount of talisman sources are controlled by the bishop. Only with permission can the tribesmen be allowed in. In other words, the elves will have to charge in order. It can only explain one thing - even in the tribal oasis, the total amount of symbol sources is not sufficient.
Otherwise, why would it be so troublesome?
It is very dangerous for the elves to go deep into the desert because they cannot replenish the source of symbols. Every time they go deep into the desert, it is a test of life and death... Of course, this is also related to the harsh natural environment of their homeland.
After the talisman sources in the body are completely consumed, the elves are only equivalent to ordinary people, and in the vast desert...
Wait, desert?
Unpredictable has seen the terrifying sandstorms in his home. When it comes to the natural state, this comparison makes him discover a bright spot... The Fuyuan Desert in Kassam Mountain is just Fuyuan. It's a desert. Does that mean that the continent where your homeland was originally had a desert environment?
It should be like this. In Tyrande's memory, the food of the elves was very scarce, and Tyrande herself had never even seen a wild rabbit. This was indeed an ecosystem consistent with the desert environment.
And... in the secret realm of Iron Mountain, Mobi used "back in time" to explore the history of the Iron God period. The so-called homeland of the elves was actually the "slave camp" of humans at that time, set in a desert with harsh conditions. It also makes sense.
...
After collecting his mind, Mu Zhi remembered another thing and couldn't help but chuckled:
"Captain, do you think that the source of the contract ability...that is, the symbol source, does it look like a "force field"? "
"Force field?" Vera didn't know why.
The unpredictable voice came again: "I only thought of it after you reminded me that the source of this continent's symbols... well, it's like an invisible force field, which is objective and objective in physics. The electromagnetic field that exists...is the same."
"What is the electromagnetic field?" Vera asked, still shaking her head.
"Um..." Unfathomable couldn't explain it. He couldn't help but paused. Then he thought about it and said: "In short, Fuyuan is a "field" proved by physics. It's just that this field is only for contracts. The ability responds and has no effect on other objective things... Well, the Fuyuan Desert is the place where the Fuyuan force field is disrupted, or the area where the force field partially disappears, so... in Fuyuan In the source desert, animals, plants and objective existence are not affected. Contractors alone cannot mobilize the energy of the source. "
"I'm not sure you can understand. Anyway...that's what I think."
Vera tilted her head and thought for a moment: "I probably understand what you mean."
"You mean, the form of the symbol source is like the aura formed by the air... This metaphor is not appropriate. After all, the symbol source field is not something that can be felt like air, but something like what you said. Electromagnetic field."
"Yes, that's what it means." Unpredictable
Hehe laughed.
Vera thought for a few seconds: "Indeed...it's a bit like it."
"But, how can this be verified?"
In this regard, unpredictable is indeed what I just thought of when I was bursting with inspiration, but this is just a guess, and it cannot be verified at this time.
Unpredictable chuckled: "I don't have the ability to verify, or, well... it doesn't need to be verified. We don't need to study so deeply. What we need to figure out is how to use this Fuyuan Desert."
"Use the Fuyuan Desert?" Vera was stunned: "You want to use this Fuyuan Desert?"
"Of course..." Mo Zhi chuckled: "This Fuyuan Desert was given to me by Cang Lan personally. How could I not study it carefully? Well...there is no talisman in this desert." The rules of source energy, if used properly, can be a powerful weapon."
After being reminded by unpredictable words, Vera came to her senses, but she was still surprised by unpredictable thoughts.
Of course, what surprised me was not how to use Unpredictable, but that Unpredictable didn't even spare Fuyuan Desert. His style of balding goats when he saw them really came from the Hot Spring City Supervision Office. Revealed…
After pondering for a moment, Vera nodded: "I thought of it."
"This Fuyuan Desert is indeed a useful existence. Just imagine...if two contractors fight here..."
Mozhi chuckled: "Yes, that's it."
"Here, even if Shadow Fang comes in person, he must comply with the rules of this desert. Once his talisman sources are exhausted..."
This sentence really triggered a lot of thoughts in Vera.
Then, I couldn't help but feel "admiration" for the unpredictable imagination.
However, Vera is a very tactically literate Punisher Captain. When she heard this unconventional idea from Mu Zhi, she couldn't help but immediately consider its feasibility:
"Hmm... It's a good idea, but some conditions are still difficult to meet... The existence of semi-spiritual top-level talismans is difficult to consume, and it is difficult for us to really use them. It has been controlled in this desert of symbols."
But the unpredictable voice came again: "If the conditions are not met, then we will find a way to create conditions to satisfy him!"
Vera hadn't said the second half of her sentence yet, so this time, there was no need to say it.
No conditions, create conditions!
Mu Zhi's thinking was so out-of-the-box that she found it difficult to follow.
Mo Cai also knew that there was no need to discuss this issue too deeply at this time. After all, it was a matter that had not yet been discussed, so he immediately changed the topic and thanked Vera:
"Captain, I still want to thank you very much."
"You have been exploring along the road for more than 20 days and marked all the places with oases. You have really helped me a lot."
Vera smiled and waved her hand: "You're welcome."
But she thought of another thing, and immediately laughed and said:
"Unpredictable... You are thinking about how to use this desert of symbols. Has it been revealed that you don't have many cards in your hand?"
"Hahaha, in the past few days, the trains bound for Qinghu Province have been crowded with Hesse people..."
What she was talking about was exactly what she had seen in the past few days.
Because along the only railway transportation line from the southern province to the outside world, Vera discovered a phenomenon, that is, the trains leaving the southern province recently were full of Hesse people.
However, the train entering the southern province in the opposite direction is "sparsely populated"...
The characteristic of the Hesse train is that it stops anywhere without following the stops. Vera also had several opportunities to chat with the Hesse people on the train, and she also knew the recent situation in the southern province.
Under the chaos of the New Party, the Provincial Council's disadvantages have been fully demonstrated, and the person behind the Provincial Council is none other than himself.
The southern province is in chaos, and a large number of Hesse people are "immigrating"...
Mo Zhi immediately laughed out loud: "
Captain, you can even see this. "
Vera also looked up at the sky: "I am your captain no matter what, I am not an idiot."
"Hehe..." Mo Zhi laughed again.
Vera sighed and asked, "What are you going to do next?"
"What should I do?" Mo Zhi asked back.
Vera smiled bitterly: "Isn't the situation not good now? I want to ask you if you have any solution."
"Um..." There was no trace of sadness in Mozhi's tone: "What's wrong with the situation?"
"Isn't everything fine?"
Vera shook her head and laughed: "You talk back! Your Hesse Ironmen are all going to run away."
Then, she heard an unpredictable retort: "Hey, Captain... Isn't it a good thing that all the Hessians have escaped?"
"I'm just worried that these guys are running too slow!"
Vera was stunned when she heard this. She thought of something vaguely in her heart, and her tone fluctuated:
"What did you say?"
"Could it be that...you want the Hesse people to leave the southern province?"
There was no answer this time.
Vera's voice was even more surprised: "Did you really plan this? Or, is this your purpose?"
Unpredictable chuckled: "I have many purposes, this is just one of them."
He admitted it!
Vera confirmed her guess from the unpredictable joke.
He, a member of the team, the Lord of the Southern Province, actually wants to abandon his people of Hesse?
This matter, no matter how I think about it, it feels unrealistic.
How can any government not want Ironborn?
It is said that Mo Zhi has just been granted the title of Imperial Master and has become the real Duke of the South.
Then, immediately "drive away" his people?
She asked in disbelief: "Why...why?"
But before unpredictable could answer, the sound of a train whistle in the distance interrupted the conversation between the two.
