302. Desire
The spade boss and several others were waiting for Hala outside the tent, while Fanny and Anto were looking at the huge map.
Seeing Ha La opening the tent door and walking out, the Spade Boss stepped forward and comforted:
"I will help you keep an eye on your friend's condition, and if there is a chance, I will find a way to rescue her."
Hora responded:
"Well, as long as nothing happens to her, it will be fine just waiting for me to find Hewen."
Ha La also looked at her companions and warned:
"If we are separated, and one of you returns to Upper Wharton alone, go to my father Hevin and tell him everything that happened."
Antotika finally couldn't help it anymore:
"I haven't asked you about this matter in the past few days, but I really can't stand it. Ha La, who is your father?"
When the spade boss heard this, he quietly turned around and left, leaving enough space for the girls.
Fanny interjected:
"Holla, it's okay if it's not convenient for you to say."
Yingge looked at Ha La with expectant eyes.
Hala was ready to face this moment:
"After listening to Uncle Spade's words, you should have guessed that there are many people in Upper Wharton who have mysterious powers, and my father Hevin is one of them.
"And a long time ago, Hevin came to Lower Wharton, and he is somewhat famous here."
Inge couldn't help but ask:
"How famous is it?"
Ha La thought for a moment and pointed to the north:
"That's a deserted land over there. We'll go through part of that land to get to the Rat Country."
Antotika asked:
"Are you trying to say that even the people of the Badlands fear his name?"
Ha La shook her head:
"No, what I mean is that the entire desolate land belongs to Hevin legally."
For a long time, there was no more sound.
In the moment before the death-like silence swallowed everyone, Fanny made a final struggle.
Although Fanny initially grew up in the East End of London, when others knew that her father was the largest capitalist in England, a group of smiling guys "came here because of his fame", and they all tried their best to curry favor with her.
Although she has never really looked at those flatterers, and she doesn't really like the so-called "father" who left her mother behind.
But she had to admit that it was because of her father and the group of guys who rushed up like hyenas smelling carrion that she had a more accurate understanding of the world.
For example, she can tell how big a place is by looking at a map, and she also knows what such a territory symbolizes.
Fanny swallowed:
"He, Hela, do you mean that Hevin is a great lord in the deserted land?"
"No, um..." Hala shook her head slightly, not knowing whether to continue, "There are seven kingdoms in Lower Wharton, and one of them is actually Hewen's.
"But he didn't care much about this, and there was no one who could bring him to Wharton, so he abandoned this place. Later, it seems that criminals from other countries fled to this place, and then slowly took root."
"Fa..." Antotika forced the remaining syllables back into her stomach, "Holla, so you mean, your father really owns a huge territory that contains countless resources and wealth?
And he just threw it away.?"
Ha La nodded and said nothing.
Although Hewen told her that she could tell others about this, she was a little at a loss now because their reaction seemed a bit too strong.
Yingge stopped talking for a while:
"Holla, wait, so from a certain point of view, not only are you a princess of the Seven Kingdoms of Wharton, but one-seventh of the territory in this place belongs to your father?
Fanny held her forehead:
"My King Arthur, if we could exploit this place, can you imagine how much wealth we would create? Not even Orval Dickinson can compare with you!"
Ha La looked at the excited three people with some embarrassment:
"Although my father is the theoretical owner of the desolate land, it is impossible for the people who have settled there to give up their position."
After hearing this, several people calmed down a lot, but Yingge said again:
"What matters is not whether this place belongs to you, but that it technically belongs to you. You are a princess! The princess of the Magic Kingdom."
Hala said:
"I don't really want to be a princess."
Inge asked in disbelief:
"How is that possible? That's a princess, and she's not a mortal princess, she's a princess from Lower Wharton!"
Ha La frowned and said:
"Inge, you are a little too fanatical. Magic is actually no different from science. If you really want to have powerful power, learning can also achieve this goal."
Inge said:
"No, there is no similarity between magic and science. Magic is gorgeous, magical and omnipotent, but science has limitations and is boring."
Hala retorted:
"Magic is not omnipotent."
Yingge suddenly looked at Ha La and said:
"Can you do magic?"
Ha La shook her head:
"I don't know how to do it, but I know about magic. I have read a lot of books. Magic is also a skill and subject that needs to be learned."
Yingge's emotions gradually became intense, and his calm chest kept rising and falling:
"Magic can create things. Caesar, a little boy, can create fireballs. Can science do it?"
Antotika looked forward to what Hola would say next.
When she was chatting with Ha La, she heard her say some things that made her brain dizzy.
Hala said:
"Science can cure terminal diseases, science can put an end to famine, science can know how far away the stars are from us, know how many years ago we see light, know the most subtle secrets of the human body, know the basic composition of matter, and know the so-called
The nature of elements, knowing what time means to humans, knowing where the boundary of the universe is and what its origin is?
"Human beings will gain insight into the process of their own birth, the structure of elementary particles, and the mysteries of life and death.
"Science is human magic."
Yingge said with a embarrassed expression:
"But, but, science is so difficult..."
Ha La said warmly:
"If magic wants to achieve the same effect as science, the effort in the process will not be much less than that of science, but perhaps many problems have been solved by our ancestors who spent countless hours.
"But just mastering this knowledge requires a lot more energy than studying. If you don't have the hard work and the belief to never give up, it will be difficult to become a qualified mage."
Inge took two steps back.
Hala said:
"Inge, reality is not a fairy tale, and magic will not be mastered by you like a miracle. You don't really want magic that much, right? You are just tired of your current life. You want a method that can be easily mastered and can change everything.
power appears in your life.
"There is nothing wrong in thinking this way. Everyone hopes for good luck, but waiting feverishly for luck to come will not change anything.
