Chapter 223 Wilderness Survival Lesson

It looked easy for Moran to do, but the little witches found it quite difficult when they tried it themselves; they simply couldn't manage to listen to the video and cast the spell at the same time.

Moran wearing only one earphone doesn't affect her spellcasting at all. When they wear only one earphone, it's not because they're listening to what's coming in and their spellcasting goes astray, but because they're focused on casting and listening to what's coming in the earphone is as if they haven't heard anything at all.

Finally, I managed to review the videos I had already learned while practicing magic, even without focusing on the effectiveness of the lectures, and I did manage to make some progress.

For them, learning new knowledge requires sufficient focus in order for the knowledge to truly enter their minds, and they cannot afford to be distracted at all.

On the second day of the wilderness survival class, Moran wore her hair down, and one of her ears, hidden beneath her hair, was also wearing a Bluetooth earphone.

I listened to the video lesson with one ear and to Ms. Amisa speaking on the podium with the other.

Moran finished watching "Wilderness Living Tutorial Video 1" last night, so what Amisha is saying now is just repetitive content to her.

So she focused more on the ear with the headphones on.

The video playback speed is not the original speed, but 1.5 times the speed.

Amisha wasn't unaware of this, but considering Moran's learning ability, she didn't expose her and let it go.

The wilderness survival class was quite different from the classes she had taken before. In Moran's view, it was like a witch's version of social studies, humanities, and geography.

The textbook is called "The Witcher's Wilderness Guide," and it contains a map of the Witcher's Wilderness, as well as the terrain and main specialties of each region.

There were many things in class that required visual observation, so Moran was always listening to another required course, Introduction to the Common Language of Valencia, through his headphones.

It was through textbooks and instructional videos that Moran gained a direct understanding of the entirety of the Witch's Wilderness for the first time.

The Witch Wilderness is about the same size as the entire Eurasian continent of Blue Star.

Moran was born in Emerald Creek, which was located in the northern part of the wilderness. Further north lay the human kingdom.

To the east of Emerald Creek Plain lies Starlight Forest, where Sylph was born, and to the north of Starlight Forest lies Elf Forest.

To the west of Emerald Creek Plains, separated by the Leafless Forest, lies the Poison Mist Swamp, one of the most dangerous natural areas on the continent of Valen, perpetually shrouded in poisonous fog.

To the south of the Poison Mist Swamp lies Dark Valley, a paradise for necromancers. Vasita was born there.

Further south of Dark Valley lies Green Highlands, filled with high mountains and forests, and the highest point in the entire Witcher Wilds.

In the eastern part of Green Highlands, there is another primeval forest, Sunset Forest.

Between Sunset Forest and Starlight Forest, separated by a sea of ​​roses, Lilith's parents live.

In the middle of the Witch Wilderness, there is a large freshwater lake called Spring View Lake.

The climate around Chunjian Lake is the most comfortable in the entire wilderness, and it can be described as spring-like all year round.

The witch town on the shores of Spring View Lake is the only town in the entire wilderness.

The clan meeting took place in the witch town.

(Map of Witch Wilderness attached)
The entire wilderness, 99% of which is a pristine, undeveloped, uninhabited area.

The number of witches has hovered around 30,000, with some choosing to settle in the wilderness.

The scattered witches' houses are like drops of water falling into the sea, inconspicuous at all.

The Witch Wilderness is not home to only witches as an intelligent race; there are also other races that are subservient to and submit to the witches.

Some were migrated from the wilderness, while others were brought back from another world by witches.

Without exception, all of these alien races signed a wilderness pact, vowing never to betray the witch and the wilderness. They were primarily allowed to reside in the wilderness because they were useful to the witch.

These alien races are not numerous. The largest alien race, the Spirit Cat Clan, has no more than fifty spirit cats in its territory, and most of them are young spirit cats or spirit cats that have lost their owners by accident.

All the other civets became the witch's magical pets.

The pristine nature of the Witch Wilderness has endowed it with abundant natural resources, including a rich variety of plants, animals, and minerals, with each region boasting its own unique specialties.

These things are the natural wealth of every witch.

Many newly graduated witches go out to collect these resources in the wilderness to sell, earn some travel expenses, and begin their journey.

However, no one would think of getting rich by reselling these raw resources.

Often, a resource point might not be visited by a witch for several years.

Moreover, resources in the wilderness are not easy to collect, and these resources can also bring danger.

The Witch Wilderness belongs to witches, which only means that witches are the rulers of all intelligent races in the wilderness, not that the plants and animals here all revere witches.

Some magical beasts, magical plants, or elemental creatures, although they have developed intelligence, do not belong to intelligent races unless they are born with wisdom and a sense of territory.

The dangers posed by non-intelligent races should not be underestimated.

Only the areas around Cuixi Plain and Chunjian Lake are relatively safe for low-ranking witches.

Young witches who venture out into the wilderness mostly travel from Emerald Plains.

In the wilderness survival class, these two places were explained in the most detail, with clear descriptions of what landmarks and resource points were located in each place.

Other regions are only briefly mentioned, and more detailed explanations are given in this year's selected reading list, "The Complete Book of Wilderness".

There are 40 instructional videos explaining these two regions in detail, each three hours long, which shows how vast the wilderness is.

Moran suspected that it would take several days to ride a broomstick out of the wilderness.

With such a vast land, it's no wonder that among the witch clan, views such as "the wilderness is the witch's final destination," "born in the wilderness, returning to the wilderness," and "the deeper one's experience, the more one can appreciate the beauty of the wilderness" have endured for so long!

The wilderness only lacks a bit of prosperity. After experiencing the prosperity of the outside world and satisfying her desire for exploration, it is ultimately the wilderness that can bring the witch peace.

The more powerful a witch is, the more she is willing to return to the wilderness to settle down.

After watching just two video lessons on wilderness living, Moran decided that once everything was over, she would find a beautiful and comfortable witch's home in the Witch Wilderness, a place with clear waters and lush mountains, where she could retire peacefully and enjoy life.

By the way, how long do witches live? How old is considered an old witch?

Moran only knew that if a witch didn't break through to the peak level, her lifespan was generally around five hundred years.

"The lifespan of witches?" Amisha shook her head: "The three witches are all in their prime. Even the eldest, Lady Tracy, shows no signs of declining magic or loss of life force. She is over 1,100 years old."

Moran asked Ms. Amisa but received no answer.

All I know is that when magic begins to wane and life force begins to dissipate, that's when aging begins.

Witches who haven't surpassed their peak level begin to age after three hundred years; those who have surpassed their peak level, well, that's unclear.

Because as long as one continues to explore the Well of Heaven, their magical power will continue to grow, and they will not enter the aging period.
