Chapter 408: Emperor Teacher
"Player Super Justice ()"
"Is Jiu'er playing the role of Philip's mother..."
Annan's expression suddenly became a little weird.
Although it was still a bit difficult to connect the young elf girl with long golden curly hair and bright emerald eyes, who was as delicate as a doll... with that fat man Philip.
But looking at Jiu'er's current appearance, he can probably imagine what Philip the "Eloquent" was like back then.
"...But, adoptive mother?"
Annan suddenly realized something: "Where is Nefri Flamel? Since she can come back and become the cornerstone of this nightmare, it means that at least after Philip grows up, she hasn't died yet, right?"
"Naveli, she left Philip very early."
Victor replied: "The social structure of elves and humans is different...at least after the empire period, elves' parents rarely leave their children. After all, elves are quite high in the empire, and no one will force them Abandoning the children to go to the field does not require long hours of work.
"Taking a step back, even if you leave your hometown, you must go to a place with magic power... Then if you want to build a house, you only need to 'imagine' to rebuild the old house in an instant."
Whether it is a facility or the surrounding environment, it can be reconstructed instantly with only precise imagination. No construction time is required, and no money or materials are needed—mantra energy is such a convenient thing.
It is also because of this that the resistance to "abolishing the spell energy" is very high.
Even though many elves know in their hearts that the use of spell energy will cause great pressure on the world...but it will not cause "immediate disaster" after all.
The elves have an invincible unified barrier, gathering all the power of the twelve righteous gods and twenty-four wizard towers, even if the entire outside world is submerged in gray fog and its height is higher than the clouds, it will not affect them at all life.
It would be better to say that anyway, the gray fog is attacking in units of "the whole world".
And in the east of the Living Desert, there are the "People of Blood and Charcoal" who exiled them at the beginning of the second generation. They also have to eat the destruction of the world by these gray fogs—and because of the obstacles of the living desert, they haven't been able to come to settle accounts with the elves.
[Living Desert] As the disaster of the era, it is not just a simple "conscious huge desert".
Since it is conscious, it may naturally have the power of curse.
To put it simply - they have already become refined, so are they still not allowed to practice?
The desert, which is larger than the Yasland Empire at its peak, is itself an extremely huge "demon". Once it enters the territory of the living desert, it will be eroded by it... The extraordinary power will be continuously and slowly swallowed. And as long as the "light" is lost on the desert, the whole person will be instantly swallowed by the irrational desert.
—Only light can maintain the sanity of the desert below.
But the living desert can't just slowly devour extraordinary power.
But because it has wisdom in a sane state and knows how to develop sustainably—
It will suck up about 80% of the superman's power every day, so as not to suck him to death directly, and then wait for his natural recovery. The longer you stay in the desert, the less power the desert will absorb, at least 50% can be deducted, so as to "encourage" the extraordinary to survive in the desert.
But if the transcendent being preyed on by the desert tries to leave the desert, the resistance will increase—if he is already close to the edge of the desert, the resistance will be even greater.
Even during the day when it is rational, it will go straight to death and try to kill the escapees-and send it back to the gathering place after being drained as a warning.
It does not welcome mortals. Even if the Transcendent is too weak, or a mortal comes in directly, it will quickly kill it and throw it out.
For the desert is ravenous, and always hungry.
There are not many "oases" inside that can provide survival - it is difficult to bear the urge to swallow these water and nutrients. The reason why I kept it,
It's just to give some food to the transcendents trapped in it and prevent them from dying suddenly... It's like a farmer saving some rice to feed chickens.
The only ones who can cross the living desert many times are the "gods" who reshape their bodies in the light world, do not need food at all, and no longer need to carry objects, and even if the extraordinary power is suppressed, they can fly across the desert with only physical strength adult dragon.
One of the reasons why the elves continued to use spell power after they first arrived in Yatheran... was to take revenge on the "People of Blood and Charcoal".
Because they used the spell energy, the whole world will be eroded by gray mist.
And they had expected it a long time ago, and when the gray fog began to spread, they had already propped up the big enchantment.
Waiting for the gray fog to cover the entire world may also be regarded as a way to kill the enemy...
As for whether this will have side effects?
—Of course there will be.
The elves can see very clearly that excessive use of spell energy will keep them confined in the area inside the Great Barrier, making it difficult to expand outward. Then when the population reaches a limit, the contradictions will become more intense.
And as the spell energy is extracted, the world will become more and more fragile. If the fog world is weakened to be weaker than the world next door, then when the world is approaching, the wall of the world may suddenly collapse - people in this world may suddenly fall into another world and never return up.
However, these problems.
All will be borne by the "last generation".
And what if before that, they used spell energy technology and developed a technology that could cross the world?
——What if their technology has advanced to the point where they can suck the "blood of the world" from the world next door instead of the blood of their own world?
Many "what ifs" make it impossible for the elves to stop using spell energy.
It is impossible for them to sacrifice the current living welfare, or even completely subvert the tradition and technology tree of the entire civilization...to protect the future people they will never see in this life.
Protecting the future of strangers or something... is too illusory.
"And Nefri, shortly after giving birth to Philip, went to help her father preach everywhere."
Victor paused, and replied softly: "At that time, I was constrained by my identity, and I didn't stay with them for the first time. But I have been paying attention to their actions.
"The biggest difference between Nefri and her father, Ernest, is that she gave up 'persuading everyone' from the very beginning. Ernest gave speeches in every elf city, convincing others about the value of spell energy. The huge irreversible harm in the future, tell them that we can also build a brilliant civilization without relying on mantras...
"But Nefri didn't do that. From the very beginning, she decided to persuade the upper echelons of the empire, that is, those 'sages' who have the right to speak—even the emperor.
"Nafuli's words moved many people, including me of course. In order to protect myself, I didn't immediately join the group of 'forbidden spell energy', I didn't go to every city to preach, and I didn't use my own The right to speak and influence others.
"What I did was very simple. Even now, it is something that is deeply tabooed by people. It is also the biggest 'sin' that I carry on my body."
Victor said softly: "Because I was teaching the Daughter of the Storm...
"—I am also tutoring His Majesty's children at the same time, and I am responsible for teaching them the principles of life."
