As refugees from Sandstone City poured in here, the survivors of the caravan also ran back. More than half of the personnel was lost. Fortunately, the caravan didn't have many people because it only wanted to try the water. No one targeted them when the killing started. But after the fire, there was no way. Who could take care of whom? According to the people who returned, there might be survivors. Someone ran away from another city gate and it would take some time to return.
It is not easy to re-organize the caravan. Although Bran has no specific requirements for the caravan, the personnel, scale and equipment are even more dealing with what can be done, but now the most lacking is the manpower. A few people can run back, just saving trouble. People no longer need to redeploy, let them rest for two days, and then continue on the road.
Several people in the caravan were terrified by the incident, but at least they knew something had happened and Bran would help them. Although the result of this early stage was not as good as not, it also gave them some confidence. The biggest problem now is that this time the loss was lost, Bran was a little bit unresolved.
Bran has always adhered to the traditions of the North, it is impossible for the weapons and armors to flow out through his hands. Although knowing that once such things are released, many problems can be solved, but Bran will never do it. As for accessories, Bran no longer thinks about circulating through merchandise channels. He is the lord of the city, not the owner of the workshop. It is best to let this city run by itself, which is the right way.
But does this city have its own specialties? For now, there is nothing. Then it can only be used as a transfer station, and the leather goods are exchanged from the north, and then the leather goods are exchanged.
Thinking of this, Bran probably has some ideas. So he called Il in and said: "Pick a few bold and not afraid of death to join the caravan."
Il froze for a moment, and some did not quite understand, is this for business or robbery?
Bran ignored her reaction and continued: "Let them take a break and leave in two days."
"But our goods are not ready yet."
Bran laughed at himself, "We still have a fart cargo, not to mention the nice ones."
This truth made Il blush. Although it is self-sufficient here, there is really nothing superfluous.
Bran continued: "No need to prepare, get my banner right, and hold it all the way to the royal capital. This time there will not be too many people, and when you get there, send a message to Longqi, Anya, and the royal family. It's time for compensation for the second incident. I won't see compensation in the short term, and I will get it myself.
Also, tell the speakers don’t be afraid, if someone dares to hurt them, just continue to add the following message. If someone is killed or injured, I will repay it a hundred times, just a lot more. "
Il was a little dumbfounded, this time he was really going to rob! But the question is, can this person with a message come back alive? In addition, when he comes to the door like this, does anyone know who he is? So the face inevitably shows a difficult look.
Bran saw Il behaving like this and asked, "Is there a problem?"
Il said his concerns, and then suggested: "It's better to pass the matter through Zoya's family, it would be better. We send someone to the capital to wait for the result."
"Yes, just do as you said."
After dealing with the caravan's affairs, Bran obviously relaxed. Seeing this, Dany reminded: "They won't care about you."
"It's best to be able to reason, but it's just an excuse. Let's see how all parties react."
"and then?"
Bran sighed, "There is only violence, especially when facing them, what can I do? The city burns, and there is nothing, and my reputation is completely ruined. Since it has been like this, it will It doesn’t matter. One city is gone, and there is another one. I have to get what I want."
Bran decided to break the jar.
...
These days, Bran seems to sit under the tree without saying a word, but he has been questioned by the old tree all the time. Bran was not in the mood to talk with the old tree, and directly passed his own experience to him, which made him quiet.
Today, I found that Bran’s mood improved, so Gu Shu started a topic of interest: "The fire was really beautiful."
Bran sighed, "Do you really like fire?"
"Well, I like it very much."
Bran sarcastically said, "Have you been struck by lightning?"
"how do you know?"
Bran was speechless for a while. With the time that the ancient tree has survived and the height far exceeding the surrounding ordinary vegetation, it should not be a small probability event to be struck by lightning. From Gushu's reaction, he has a deep memory. It seems that you have to find this memory and take a closer look.
"Did you not catch fire at the time?"
"No, it's just smoking." It was obviously with deep regret.
Bran suddenly realized that the nature of ancient trees is different from ordinary trees. The threat of fire to him may not be as great as imagined. Combustion is a violent chemical reaction that emits light and heat. What about the magic?
"Come on! Give me one of your leaves."
"What are you doing?" Gu Shu was wary and unwilling.
"Fire, don't you like fire?"
"Okay! How much do you want?" Gu Shu immediately came in interest.
"one slice."
"Too little, not enough?" The ancient tree trembled the canopy.
"First, let's talk about it if you can light it!"
A huge leaf fell and was caught by Bran's hand. Under the gaze of Dani, Huahua, and the ancient tree, Bran found a burning torch to put in front of him and tried to light the leaf. No effect, this emerald leaf has no effect. The blackened area, gently rubbed with your hand, revealed the emerald green leaf surface again.
After thinking about it, Bran broke a piece of his own hair and stretched it to the torch, not curling and burning as expected. After hesitating, he stretched his hand to the flame. Scorching heat, but it's just scorching heat.
Amidst the disappointment of the ancient tree, Bran handed the leaf to Danny, "Give it to you, save it. This is probably his biggest leaf. In order to play with fire, he is really willing."
Bran raised his hair and thought, did he react violently? The reason seems to be very simple, if the magic can be released instantly. It's not easy to do this. This storage method is very stable. Think about the lightning struck behind you, it's just a smoke.
As Bran thought, the old tree also reacted, as if it didn't need to use his body to light the fire. So he was a little angry, "You have to compensate, just use the torch in front of you."
Bran waved his hand generously, agreeing to Gu Shu's request, and then his own random thoughts.
Recall that fire, scorching heat. Why was there a scorching sensation after so far. Bran thought carefully about how he felt the heat at the time. This made his thinking a little confused. There were too many things involved in this aspect, such as heat, fluctuations, radiation, etc., Bran, who was not very clear about this, tried to think back.
The magic power began to fluctuate accordingly, and the temperature around him gradually increased. Although a lot of knowledge is no longer clear, magic has a detailed and clear record of the scene at that time. In a rare fire, Bran gradually got rid of the fire in his mind and nothing else.
Until he was awakened by the eager voice of the ancient tree: "Teach me! You must teach me! This torch has taken me away, and you have to compensate again."
Bran realized that the clothes on his body were a little scorched, and Dany had also retreated far away, but only so, it was far from the high temperature he wanted. It seems that you need to catch two wizards who can set fire and understand their magic fluctuations.
While thinking about it, Bran said, "You don't need to teach me, use your magic field to imitate the fluctuations of the fire. Gradually eliminate what you think is irrelevant. Also, don't give our home. Remember, You can only play within this range."
Bran stretched out his hand and gestured to a small area in front of him, strictly limiting the scope. If this makes the ancient tree play off, the consequences will be disastrous.
After this tumult, Bran also wanted to drive completely. As a wizard, you should focus on your own field and gain knowledge and experience from different phenomena. In a rare fire, I should observe and understand all the phenomena produced by this fire. Let it go if it's time to let it go, it's useless to entangle it.
Bran, letting go of his worries, continued his life every day. Sitting under the tree, watching the old tree playing with fire, watching Zoya's hard work in killing people.
The refugees finally stopped appearing in the woods, and the shelter work came to an end. After the plan is re-divided, the land is divided according to heads, and houses and wasteland are built on the spot. The daily heavy work has given these people no time for sadness.
The survivors in the North City couldn't help but feel jealous when they saw the refugees divide the land to build a house, and expressed their desire for a piece of land through Il. Bran was happy to see people in the city migrating out, so he was not stingy, and continued to divide with a wave of his small hand. This place is very large and sparsely populated. If someone wants land, then give it. Only according to his division method, the boundary has extended to the foot of the two-point mountain. Although everyone knows that the land allocated is still a disputed area, since the people of the Northland say yes, then it must do.
The boundary stones were erected piece by piece, all of which came from Bran's hand. Outsiders will not understand why Bran must handle such trivial matters personally, nor will he know that as these boundary stones are buried and erected, this land is truly under his control. And his magic power also penetrates and immerses into the surroundings continuously through these boundary stones, until it blends with the surrounding environment and can no longer be divided. Now the magic power exuded by the boundary stone was connecting with Bran, Huahua, and the ancient tree, and began to rotate slowly. With the operation of magic power, this invasion will become faster and faster, and eventually this land will become an extension of their will.
...
When Bran University was engaged in development and construction, the mission from Lava City finally entered the Kingdom of Green. At the same time they also received a warning from Bran, a warning with obvious contempt.
I don't know how great the sky is, this is everyone's evaluation of Bran. I was also deeply disappointed with Tiree's performance, and it was really a fuss to send someone to wait here. Is it a threat? It's normal. They have issued such threats. Does anyone really care?
At this time, Pachu, who was in Greentown City, was sitting with his white robe companion. His companions have always apologized for his return and are also grateful, but everyone can only sigh helplessly. He chose to return to his companion, almost breaking his dream. But Pachu also saw it openly, how can everything go well between choices.
He still remembers Bran’s words, what if your magic power can cover the entire battlefield? Is it possible? Could it be said that Bran can really do it? The relaxed confidence in the casualness, the indifferent attitude, doesn't seem like a lie. However, he clearly felt that his magical power range was only a few tens of meters in front of him, or did he ignore something?
Pachu has been taciturn since his return, and his companions thought he was a little frustrated. In fact, he was just thinking about the details of his time by Bran's side, trying to find out the actual evidence. Pachu raised his head and looked into the distance, the sky was clear, distant mountains and white clouds, everything was invisible in his own eyes.
wrong! Pachu was suddenly surprised. When he looked far away from Bran's side, although everything was still visible, it was definitely not so clear. There seems to be a layer of fog and a layer of yarn. He had always been like this when he walked around in Northland City. Because my abilities didn't seem to be affected at that time, I didn't care too much. Now think about it, Bran sits under the tree every day, seemingly not restricting his behavior, I am afraid that every move is under his control. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a cold sweat. Fortunately, I was really going to seek refuge and study at that time.
Thinking of this, Pachu couldn't help but slap his thigh. Under the surprised gaze of his companion, he said aloud: "It's terrible!"
