Chapter 999: Witnessing the Glory
Neverwinter Castle, in the conference hall. X
The faces of the representatives of all parties were a little unpleasant, especially the news that Agatha and Phyllis and others had received from high-level devils had undoubtedly subverted their previous cognition.
Pushing step by step from the Dawn Realm to the edge of the continent, after nearly a thousand years of struggle and resistance, countless people died in blood and fire, but they found that the enemy had not exerted all his strength. On the other side of the vast land, there is also a place called the Heavenly Sea Realm, where the monsters are not weaker than the devil, and the reason why human beings have not been exterminated is because they have dragged the devil's hands and feet.
This is definitely another heavy blow to the beliefs of the Taqira Witch.
The solemn atmosphere even infected the Witch League and the Maleficent.
This initiative to attack the outpost seemed to be extremely brilliant, and the battle loss ratio was the best record in four hundred years, but it was achieved when the devil did not know the opponent at all, and coincidentally followed the ideal pace of the First Army, and it is still unknown whether the next time the same victory can be achieved. As long as the casualties are a few percent, there is little hope that human beings, who have lost a large area of land and people, will completely destroy the devil.
"Maybe these are all made up by the other party," Wendy couldn't help but stand up and cheer up, "After all, no one has ever set foot in the end of the continent, who knows if it's true or not?"
However, there were very few responders.
Agatha gave her a grateful look, "Although there is an element of exaggeration in Cabradabi's words, to be honest, I don't think it's all a lie, especially the part revealed in the early stage of the soul transfer, when its ability to control the body was almost zero, and what it said was basically what it thought, which Zoe should be able to feel as well." Even a few words that are almost whispering can corroborate the content that follows, and it will never be possible to do this unless it has been brewing this lie for years and training itself for a long time. ”
"Do you mean the Legacy Fragment?" said the scroll thoughtfully.
"Yes. If I'm not mistaken, any race's legacy fragment, the Divine Relic, can elevate one's own race. "How could the devil let go of this opportunity if he had the power to defeat us and take the relics?" ”
This inference apparently occurred to more than one person to think that according to the chronological arrangement, the devil was no different from the uncivilized barbarians in the early days of the First Divine War, and in the face of the scattered human kingdom, it took decades to fight, and the underground civilization also found the human race at that time. When the second red moon came, the enemy suddenly became much more terrifying, and it took more than ten years for the Federation to be defeated out of the fertile plains.
If you can get such a big advantage by upgrading, no matter how you think the devil, you should destroy the human race as soon as possible.
"We did underestimate the strength of the Devil," Phyllis blamed herself, "and now that I think about it, for four hundred years, the Federation has never looked beyond the dawn of light. We are always staring at the familiar land beneath our feet, and we are ignorant of the world beyond the continent. Not to mention the Heaven and Sea Realm at the end of the land, even the other end of the Dawn Realm, we don't know much about it. ”
"Oh, what's the other side of the continent like?" asked Roland curiously.
"I've only seen it in ancient books, and it's said to be an extremely barren land, full of mountains and cliffs, with an average height far above the Dawn Realm. "The two were separated by hundreds of miles, connected by an ever-rising mountain range, surrounded by the ebb and flow of the sea. Normally, half of the mountain range is submerged in the sea, and it is not revealed until the low tide, and it is said that the devil invaded the Dawn Realm through it. ”
Wait, why does this description sound so familiar, as if you've seen it somewhere...... He touched his chin, and a flash of lightning flashed in his mind!
The towering continental shelves, the endless cliffs, and the huge stone gates embedded in the cliffs do not have the last item, but the previous description bears a striking resemblance to what Thunder saw in the shadowy sea. Could it be that what the expedition team saw at that time was the continent opposite the Dawn Realm?
This is interesting, Roland thought to himself, if we take Neverwinter City as the origin, most of the Dawn Realm is in the northwest direction, and the Shadow Sea is far to the east of the sea, how can we see the strange continent on the opposite side of the Dawn Realm from there? As long as the world is round, even the most intricately carved telescope will be affected by the curvature of the planet, and it is okay to look at the sky, and it must be strange to be able to directly observe such a distant continent.
He noticed that Tilly was also looking at her, apparently as part of the expedition at the time, and she also thought of the wonders seen in the ruins of the underwater stone tower.
It was not built by the Federation, but it monitored the continent where the legendary devil lived, and who could be the owner of the ruins?
It seems that when the thunder goes out to sea this time, I am afraid that he will have to entrust him with a thorough investigation of this ruin, not in the style of an explorer, but in the will of the country, and turn every corner of the ruins upside down until it is completely clear.
"Your Majesty?"
It was probably a little distracted, and when Roland interrupted his thoughts, he found that Agatha was looking at him, her eyes full of understanding and relief, "Are you alright?"
"Ah...... Just thinking about something. He waved his hand.
"Don't worry too much, I know this news is extremely stressful for you, but humanity is not completely hopeless. The Ice Witch whispered softly, "When I first woke up from the ice coffin, you told me that mortals would defeat the devil...... Now, I'm convinced of it, even if it takes generations to make it happen. ”
"That's right," Phyllis chimed in, "we are only one step away from the ruins of Tachira, and if we destroy it, the devil will lose the chance to build a belisk alive, and it will have to wait at least another four hundred years to destroy us." Even if humanity still fails in the end, it's not your fault, and at this point, you've done a better job than Sanxi. ”
Roland blinked slightly in surprise before he reacted for a moment
Do the frowns of the contemplation of the ruins make them think that they are frightened by the devil's voice and fall into confusion and frustration?
That's why they try to comfort themselves and try to cheer themselves up.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head and chuckled, "That's just a sign, and it continues to shrink in the corners, leaving the devil to people four hundred years from now, it's not in my plan, after all, ...... Whether I can survive until that time is a question, and it is more interesting to solve all the competitors and solve the mystery of the divine will by myself, isn't it?"
"Your Majesty......" Most of the witches present couldn't help but be stunned, only Anna raised the corners of her mouth.
"Since you remember that I said that mortals will defeat the devil," Roland looked at Phyllis, "and do you remember the other thing I mentioned?"
"The real power is not to make the world darker, but to shine with light and heat, and light up the whole world, which is not something I deliberately teased that guy to say. Without waiting for an answer, he went straight down and said, "In the face of the power of the sun, all things will be reduced to dust, and the devil is no exception. And you, with me, will witness this with your own eyes. ”r
