......

"How's it going?" Roland put down the pen in his hand and looked up at the nightingale who had quietly appeared in the office. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"She's asleep, she's just had a bowl of porridge, and she's pretty good at eating," she said, walking over to the table and sitting back in her old place, "now Sylvie is watching her." ”

"Well, that's fine. ”

"Do you believe what she says?" asked Nightingale.

"Anyway, the Divine Punishment Stone has been removed, and when you ask again tomorrow, you can tell if she's lying, but ......" Roland paused for a moment, "I think most of what she said is true." ”

"Why?" she wondered.

"Have you noticed that a man from four hundred years ago spoke the same language, the same language, as we did?" said the prince, propping his chin, "it stands to reason that it is almost impossible for two regions separated by a desperate mountain range to arise - unless they themselves belong to the same origin, and are very close to each other. ”

But she called the Four Kingdoms the Wild Lands. ”

"That's the key...... I don't know what it was like more than 400 years ago, maybe just a few scattered villages, and some criminals who had been banished by the witch world. The history books of the kingdom also record that the major cities were generally founded between 200 and 300 years old, and astrologers emerged from that era. "I've always wondered how astrologers, who have generally had no achievements or research, can be called sages on a par with alchemists, but now I can probably understand that the Federation led the surviving people to flee to this fringe, bringing with them their language and civilization." These people blended in with the locals and helped them establish their regimes, fortresses, and cities. ”

"It's as if you've seen it with your own eyes. The nightingale smiled and shook her head.

"This is the only way to explain why we speak the same language as her," said Roland, earnestly, "because we are of the same origin." And during these four hundred years, civilization has been rebuilt without the slightest development. ”

"Well," she said, spreading her hands, "we'll know tomorrow anyway." If you're guessing wrong...... Just give me a luxurious lunch. ”

The so-called deluxe lunch is actually a combination of corn bisque, grilled chicken thighs and ice cream bread, which is only made once a week in the kitchen.

"Did you guess wrong?"

"You can do whatever you want," Nightingale said, tilting her head and half-squinting her eyes. Her cheeks and smooth neck are connected to a perfect curve, which is particularly moving. If you have a full score of appearance, no matter what you make, you are tempting others, and Roland has finally verified the correctness of this sentence.

"I made a note of it," he coughed, turning his attention back to the paper.

Because Agatha had just woken up, Roland couldn't force the other party to answer all the questions accurately and meticulously, and basically followed her train of thought, asking where she wanted, so the information she got was very confusing. What he was doing now was to rearrange the messages in Agatha's words and figure out the key points to figure out next.

Undoubtedly, the most pressing problem lies with the devil.

The reason for the war with the devil, and why they are now dead, is very important to the border town. There has never been a war for no reason, and what the devils do doesn't look like an invasion for resources and expansion: they don't occupy the wilderness, they don't take humans captive, they look like a mere act of killing.

Roland also noticed that the other party mentioned the word war of divine will, could it be that the two sides were engaged in a war to the death under the behest of the gods? But at that time, the church did not even have a shadow, and naturally there was the only god they claimed, which was not explained, and he could not rest easy.

At the same time, he also needs to find out as soon as possible what the food, clothing, shelter and transportation of the Holy City civilization - or what their economic base really is, these details can help him gauge the level of development of the civilization and indirectly judge the strength of the devil.

As for the Federation, Roland didn't care too much, the scarcity of the number of witches and the instability of their abilities already doomed this organization's combat ability not to be high. Historical experience has repeatedly emphasized that before the generation gap is formed, all-out war is fought for attrition, and the scarce high-precision weapons cannot recover the overall disadvantage.

The second point is the magic stone.

According to Tilly, the stone's magical properties can greatly compensate for the weakness of the instability of abilities, allowing witches to exert powers that do not belong to them, and allowing auxiliary witches to go to war - although in Roland's eyes, this is completely putting the cart before the horse, and he would like to turn all the battle witches into auxiliary forms and devote them to endless productive work.

Strangely, however, the Confederacy, which has many witches, did not fight the devil in this way, but chose to create a Divine Punishment Army, which is a bit unbelievable. Could it be that the magic stone has some unknown shortcomings, or is it extremely difficult to produce?

Fortunately, Agatha is a member of the Quest Society, an organization similar to the current Alchemy Workshop, which has gathered a group of highly gifted witches who specialize in the study of magic stones and magical powers. Roland vaguely felt that there should be a lot of potential to be tapped.

The last question is the church.

He put a circle on this column, and it was obvious that he could not get an answer from Agatha's mouth about the history of the establishment and development of this organization. What can be inferred from a few words is that the church was founded after the defeat of the witches, who gained the secrets of the federation and concealed everything about the witches, presenting them as the embodiment of the devil. If the people of the Four Kingdoms are regarded as the descendants of the natives, then the Church is a veritable outsider, and the natives themselves are not civilized, so it is not surprising that they have been deceived by fabricated histories and oracles.

Is it only because the witch class used to oppress ordinary people that the refugees who escaped regard witches as enemies and hunt witches on this continent? Roland frowned, it sounded reasonable, but ...... I always felt that something was wrong.

There are many Saint-blessed warriors and transcendents in the Federation, even above the transcendent...... Even if they held the Divine Punishment Stone, it would be impossible for them to defeat such an opponent, right?

If you want to completely erase a force that is much stronger than yourself, you can't do it with hatred alone, and there is obviously a key piece of information missing from the intelligence.

"That witch doesn't seem to like you very much. The nightingale spoke suddenly.

"After all, living in a world where witches are all human beings," Roland laughed, "and in her eyes, I'm afraid I'm no different from a weed on the side of the road." ”

"You don't hate her?"

"Why, she's just a poor person abandoned by the times," he shook his head, "After sleeping in an ice coffin for more than four hundred years, she woke up to find that the world was completely different, and the fear of this strangeness would surely make her build a wall of heart to defend herself." After she accepts all this, she should slowly change her concept. ”

"Sure enough, that's how you answered," Nightingale smiled, "don't worry, I won't let her offend you in the slightest." ”
