Chapter 394 Cooperation
After Alka and the others learned about this place.
They found that the most deadly things for the Vastwa people now were in several places.
One is their need for food. The magic power of this place has been almost completely drained, the earth is dead silent, and no plants can be grown at all.
The only place that can grow plants is just a small piece. They can use some magical device to condense the remaining plants into nutrient solution, but it is obvious that the nutrients in the nutrient solution are not enough.
And the production is not large, so the entire race is almost in a state of malnutrition for a long time. And the magic power is still being consumed, but for Watt Watt, the magic power has a total amount.
Secondly, as their magic power is getting lower and lower, their bodies are getting weaker and weaker, which also indirectly reflects that it has become difficult for them to even give birth.
And childbirth is often accompanied by huge risks, after all, resources here are so scarce.
They are still human at heart, so the way they reproduce has not changed.
As well as very important medicines, although they are in this place it is difficult for them to be affected by external diseases.
However, external injuries, internal injuries, and some injuries caused by accidents, including childbirth, will cause casualties to their tribe, because they simply do not have any medicines to help.
You can only bear it. If you can survive, you will live. If you can't survive, you will die.
Moreover, they are malnourished and their body resistance drops sharply.
Finally, the only thing that is not life-threatening right now is water.
Simply put, these problems are not really a big deal for Alka and the others.
The reason why it was a big problem before was that they were trapped here with no connection to the outside world, so naturally they could only wait to die.
Because the resources here are limited, but they have so many people. Now Alka and his men can come in and out freely, open the channels inside and outside, and naturally bring in external resources.
Whether it is food, drink or medicine, it is no longer a fatal issue.
At this time, Alka and his companions came to a building similar to a museum, and the treasures once owned by the Vastwa people were displayed in the building as an exhibit.
Not even any protective measures were taken.
Alka blinked at the treasures before him.
To be honest, he felt pain just looking at these treasures. It was the first time he saw the energy in the treasures being sucked away completely.
How is this possible? It's outrageous.
"Can I take a look at it?" Alka asked, looking at the shield-like treasure in front of him.
Judging from the introduction above, this should be a treasure that represents summer.
Alfir nodded. "Of course, they are useless now."
Alka picked up the shield and looked at it carefully.
There is a very obvious sun relief on the shield, and the overall color of the shield is probably copper.
Other than that, there's nothing special about it.
A little bit of magic power surged out of his hands and poured into the treasure.
The treasure did not start to detect whether it was compatible or respond through the magic power infused by Alka as it did before.
Instead, he directly sucked Alka's magic power in, not even giving Alka a chance to react, like a hungry ghost who had been hungry for a long time.
As long as you dare to release even a little bit of magic power into this treasure, he will consume all the magic power you release.
Alka quickly took his hand away, cutting off his magic power.
The two people next to him showed envious eyes.
To them, magic is so precious.
Xia Daiti smiled and said, "I think you should stop envying the magic power now, and instead consider the impact that too much magic power will have on you."
Hearing this, Afir smiled and said, "Yeah, I never thought we would consider such a question."
"What is it like out there?"
There are a total of seven treasures in front of him.
Every treasure had its magic power drained away completely just as Labert had described.
There really is nothing left.
"I really find it hard to imagine how they managed to drain all the magic power from the treasure." Simon shook his head.
This is indeed an unimaginable thing for them.
Because for them, treasure can really be described as something with infinite energy.
It’s just that the infinite energy in the treasure may not be willing to be used by you.
Most of the time, the energy of the treasure is combined with one's own magic power to mobilize the magic power of the outside world to produce various effects.
"It may be because the magic power of this space is limited, and the infinite magic power of the treasures themselves is because they are connected to the world, and the magic power of nature will naturally flow into the interior of the treasures."
Lucelia said as she sat on Alka's shoulder.
After hearing their words, Alfair sighed and said, "If we had understood the value of magic power from the beginning, we wouldn't be in this situation now."
As he said this, he led them a little further inside, and here they saw a lot of broken armor, various weapons and mechanical structures.
"This is a war memorial. Even within the same race, even within this small world, there are still wars. Wars between the same kind."
This was inevitable, Alka and the others nodded in understanding.
Although the Vastwa people look a little different from them, they are essentially transformed from humans.
As human beings, don't they know the bad nature of human beings?
War is inevitable.
Especially during times of resource scarcity.
If you have more, others will have less.
After walking a few steps further inside, Afir looked at the exhibits in front of him and said, "Initially, when we didn't realize that magic power was limited, we were still glorious and maintained our previous lives.
We even spent countless magical powers trying to break through the fragments of this world and leave here, but subsequent attempts ruthlessly told us that this was impossible, and the consumed magic power could not be recovered.
Even if they know it is limited, they won't think about it.
It was not until more than 10,000 years ago that we finally faced a possible magic crisis. But even at that time, the upper class nobles were still squandering magic.
Those hidden eyes, those researchers are still squandering their money on their own research, without considering anything else."
Alka looked at the records above. A lot of the research seemed useless, whether it was seen at that time or now.
Just using limited resources to satisfy my curiosity.
"Until we have completely used up all the magic in nature, the earth begins to become dead silent, and all kinds of magical structures and buildings begin to collapse.
At that time, we finally realized what we should do. But there are still countless people who are hoping for the best. "
Both of them felt very helpless when they talked about this. This history made them feel uncomfortable no matter how they looked at it now.
"As the magic power was drained away, the ground could no longer be used for planting, and the source of food gradually became less and less until it disappeared.
At that time, all our sources of magic power became these artifacts and various similar things."
“But the Great Elder was farsighted enough. He tried his best to preserve the last artifact, and its functions are still functioning today.
That’s why we don’t have to worry about water supply now, otherwise we might have perished one or two hundred years ago.” Afir said.
In other words, they should still have a magical weapon in operation.
Through that artifact, connect some magic power to produce water.
"What are these exhibits?" Simon asked, looking at a pile of paper materials nearby.
"That, that is the research data of many predecessors."
Hearing this, Lucilia urged Alka to go over quickly and then began to interpret the information.
The more he interpreted it, the more his eyes began to sparkle.
Simon, who had also taught himself some languages before, also had a general understanding of what was written in the materials from the scattered fonts.
His entire body began to tremble with excitement.
"Hey, hey, you two calm down." Xia Daiti said quickly.
These two people give people the feeling that they are going crazy.
Lucilia jumped directly onto Xiadaiti’s shoulders, hugged her face and said, “Do you know what’s on it?”
"What?"
"I saw the research on the soul and the body, and it seems to be feasible!" Her voice even began to tremble with excitement.
After hearing this, the two of them instantly understood the meaning.
Simon also said: "I saw the previous space research materials, how to expand the space of the room, and how to construct the space mezzanine."
Seeing that Simon was about to lose control, Alka immediately grabbed him and then forcibly dragged him out of the museum.
It's not the right time yet.
Afel and Labton looked at each other and saw what was expressed in the other's eyes.
At the same time, they both seemed relieved.
In fact, they deliberately brought Alka and others with them to get the artifact part.
According to Raphael's research, artifacts should still be a relatively valuable thing in the outside world.
However, surprisingly, several of them behaved very normally, not very excited, but just revealed some interested expressions.
If they were just interested, it would not be enough for them to have sufficient communication and negotiation with Alka and others.
This concerns their entire race. Without understanding Alka and others, they cannot entrust the lives of this race to their kindness.
But you need to have enough chips.
They hope to offer chips that Alka and others are very interested in in exchange for the survival of the tribe.
Even the continuation afterwards.
You have to know that what they recorded the most was actually the Heart of Vasteva, which was already in Alka's hands.
They were well aware of Alka's control over them and could easily kill them.
They have to demonstrate enough value.
But now I didn’t expect that the information has such ability.
And these materials have been studied by their ethnic group from generation to generation, and they still have such talents.
There doesn't seem to be a better bargaining chip than this.
"Simon, calm down. The Vastwa people need us, and we also need their wisdom and the results of their research.
So there is no need to rush these things, right? I will let you study them together when the time comes."
Alka said this beside him, and finally calmed down Simon who was not very calm.
"Even in the current situation, they still haven't given up their research, but have shifted the focus of their research to how to continue the survival of their tribe." Lucilia said, sitting on Xiadaiti's shoulder.
She saw some relatively new research materials.
Xia Deti looked at Simon and Lucilia and said with a smile: "Then your performance should be enough to reassure them."
A few of them laughed and followed AfilLabbert and the other man who had caught up with them back into the tower.
The great elder and others inside should have finished their conversation during the time they were away.
Alka took his seat again.
"How about it, Alka, have you found some solutions?" said the great elder.
“The difficulties you are facing now are not difficult problems for us to solve, right?
Although it is difficult for you to survive in the outside world due to your current physical condition, I have the artifact that can control this space.
Nature can open the gates to the inside and outside, and I can provide you with the materials you lack."
Alka said, blinking one of his eyes, and then the pupil inside turned into a crystal.
With a slight scratch, a space crack leading to the outside appeared next to him.
The cracks that can be seen lead to the space of dreams.
Alka switched casually, and a slight sea breeze blew in.
The sea breeze also contained magic power. When the sea breeze blew in for a while, Alka immediately closed the space crack.
The magic power in the entire room increased slightly.
But the sea breeze just now really blew on them.
The great elder in front of them even started coughing. As the oldest among them, even such a slightly higher concentration of magic power seemed to make him uncomfortable.
The people around them also scratched their exposed skin with some discomfort.
But at least they haven't developed an allergic reaction yet.
After coughing a few times, the Great Elder seemed to be feeling a little better.
Reality also proved to them that the magic outside was definitely not suitable for their survival. Even the magic brought by the slight sea breeze made them feel uncomfortable, not to mention being completely exposed to such an environment.
"Are we going to have to stay in a place like this for the rest of our lives?" a woman said in despair.
"No, there should be other ways." Alka shook his head and said.
This sentence attracted the attention of everyone present.
"You are a race from outside, and a relatively strong one at that. Although you have been in this place for so long, your body has begun to adapt because your magic power has gradually faded.
But I heard that the real demon-free world has only existed for a few thousand years. A few thousand years is not enough to completely change your body structure. You just need some time to adapt."
And after they adapt, they can be enlightened and awakened through treasures.
After awakening and becoming touchers, they can naturally survive outside. The offspring born at this time have grown up outside since childhood and can naturally adapt to the outside environment.
It’s just that their current generation needs time to adapt.
"Is it really possible?"
"Why not just give it a try? Could anything be worse than this? And you Vastwa people should be good at figuring out solutions, right?"
The great elder nodded.
Then he looked at Alka and the others and said, “I am very grateful for your help. We must repay you for your help.
As I said before, the Vastwa people will become your closest friends.
Our knowledge, our remaining strength, our history can be shared with you."
Hearing this, Alka smiled, stood up and said, "Then it's a pleasure to work with you. I believe we will do our best to help you."
Then he stretched out his hand.
Obviously the Vastwa people did not have such etiquette, but the elder still stretched out his hand and shook hands with him.
"We are friends now."
…
Soon Alka returned outside.
Xiadaiti and the other three stayed inside and began to communicate with the Vastwa people.
Xia Daiti needed to count their number and the supplies they needed. As for Lucillia and Simon, the first thing they did was to communicate with some of the scholars among them and start looking through various documents.
Tens of thousands of years of research have made them stop talking about it, and they don’t even want to move their feet.
"Finally out? What's the situation inside? Why did it take so long?" Jason asked Alka as he stood on the deck and watched her come out.
Before, after Alka got hold of the treasure, he dragged the piece of space fragment over and selected some people from the team to follow him in.
But now there are only Jason and Pororo on the deck, and the others have already started doing their own things.
"A surprise, a big surprise. This may be the biggest gain in our life ." Alka looked at Jason and said with a smile.
These words made Urulius raise his head.
"Did you find any great treasure?"
"That's true." After all, all the wealth of the Vastwa people that was enclosed in the space was left inside.
Those are also huge amounts of wealth.
Of course, it doesn't belong to them, but they will keep part of this wealth for the time being. After all, they need this wealth to buy the materials they need.
As Alca came out, Julia and Juanlu who were busy in the kitchen gathered around.
“Inside the space is the Vastva city-state, where all the remaining parts of the map we saw before are left.
Including those Vastwa who are still alive.”
Alka said and narrated their experience inside.
