Chapter 831: No Regrets Decision
Two days later, a strangely shaped cement ship slowly left the docks of Neverwinter. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Its flat deck was high and tightly obscured by linen, like a moving hill. On both sides of the ship's strings stood not only soldiers with loaded guns, but also more than a dozen witches of divine punishment who served as escorts.
The ship was none other than the Victory, which was responsible for delivering the soul instrument to the Snowy Mountains, where the Tachira Witch would complete the transformation ritual and possess the worm carrier.
Due to the need for secrecy, there was no ceremony before leaving, no whistle was sounded, and even the loading was done quietly at night.
Roland stood by the wet brick dock and watched the ship leave. Once the transformation is complete, Neverwinter will have three worm vectors, and it will have enough power to carry out both municipal construction and desperate defense projects. It was a good thing, but he wasn't as happy as he thought.
Two witches who volunteered to be converted, one named Jasmine and the other Lyla. After recovering from the dream world, both of them are only girls in their early twenties, who look like Tilly and have a very active temperament.
Roland planned to let them enjoy themselves, and took the volunteers to the playground on the outskirts of the city with Phyllis and others. Ferris wheels, roller coasters, haunted houses (Jasmine also accidentally broke a ghost head that fell from the sky), big pendulums are all played, and there is no limit to what you can eat. If it weren't for robbing a few demon degenerates a while ago, he really wouldn't be able to pay for such expenses.
For two days, Jasmine and Leila, despite their surprise and disbelief, never asked a word, and went wherever they wanted. When you sit on the roller coaster, you will scream like everyone else, and when you eat a strawberry sundae, you will smile like the girl next door, and you will look like a normal person.
If they hadn't known the answer in advance, no one would have believed that the two had already made the decision to give up their human bodies and resolutely sacrificed their lives to fight the devil. It's like the choice they made when they faced the core of their magic at the bottom of the ruins four hundred years ago.
When they finally woke up, their expressions were calmer than Roland had expected.
He wanted to comfort the two of them, but he couldn't say a word. It is not in his interest to make them reconsider whether to transform into devouring worms? Other than that, the rest of the rhetoric seems meaningless and more like hypocritical goodwill that has nothing to do with it.
And in the end, it was he who was comforted.
Roland still clearly remembers the words and eyes of the two at that time.
"Thank you," Jasmine said with a smile, "and ......"
"We don't regret it," Leila added.
At that moment, he seemed to hear the sonorous heartbeats of the two of them.
It's not that they don't like it.
But they don't regret it.
"Your Majesty?" Phyllis, who was seeing him off, looked at him, "You...... Don't you want to go back to the castle?"
Roland came to his senses, and the Victory had disappeared from view, leaving only a little smoke.
He suppressed his thoughts and took a deep breath, "Is there really no way to cut off consciousness after possessing the carrier?"
Phyllis seemed to understand what he wanted to say, and lowered her voice slightly, "The Divine Punishment Witch is different from the carrier, the former has a certain basic consciousness even if it does not carry out soul transfer, and the witch is more suitable to be a controller than a fusion." But the carrier is different, it is a special container, once inside, it is tightly connected, and although it can be put into a dormant state when not used for a long time, no one has ever achieved complete exit - at least not for Pasha and the others. ”
"But there's a pillar of light on top of the carrier's head, right?"
"That's right," Phyllis nodded, "without the support of magic, such a large body would not be able to move. ”
"So maybe one day, we'll find a way to bring their souls back to the world of dreams," Roland said slowly, looking up at the deep blue sky.
Phyllis was silent for a moment, then looked with his gaze, "Hmm...... Maybe they'll wait until that day. ”
......
The snow-covered jungle of the Westland is a new visual experience for Loga.
More than once she had heard from a traveling merchant what snow looked like, and she had equated it with cold white sand in her mind, but when she saw it with her own eyes, she realized that snow was far finer and whiter than gravel. Even the purest river sand in Yinchuan is not as immaculate as the snow that can be seen everywhere.
The whole world seems to have changed color.
Although the evil moon is over, Ash tells her that it will take at least half a month or so to wait for the snow to melt.
That's good, she thought, so she could see a pure white Snow City.
During the voyage, there was little that could be done, and Luo Jia walked around the steel ship inside and out, but could not find out why it was able to move without wind. Even if Andrea was asked this question, he could not get a definite answer, except that there was a machine that kept boiling water towing the hull, and as for how it was towed, only His Majesty Roland and Miss Anna knew how it was towed.
Aside from the former, the latter can also be regarded as a member of the "Neverwinter Combat Power List" in Ash's mouth.
Powerful and knowledgeable, the third princess of Furious Flame had a slightly deeper impression of the name Anna.
It's just that when he talks about this with Andrea, he draws a disdainful ridicule from the latter.
"Combat ability ranking?" she rolled her eyes, "People and wolves are different, no matter how strong a person is, it can't compare to the strength of a group." Isn't the strength or weakness of a single-wheeled individual like that of a low-level beast?"
"Wolves also act in packs," Loga corrected.
"Well, then replace it with other animals, such as tigers, snow leopards, etc...... Andrea coughed twice, "In short, Anna is the source of all the power of Neverwinter, and a large part of the reason why the First Army was able to defeat the Watch Dogs and the Iron Whip Clan was through Anna's ability. And I guess she didn't tell you about how she almost lost to a normal person. ”
Looking at the surprised wolf girl, she showed a really like this, "And that ordinary person is holding the weapon that Anna has built - it makes no sense to strip these to talk about combat ability." If you want to get stronger, I suggest you apply to Your Majesty for a set of specialized weapons," Speaking of which, Andrea patted the spear on her back, "If you can fit those big tubes on your transformed back, storage will be more effective than any combat skills." ”
Although Luo Jia did not agree with this statement, she still silently kept this suggestion in her heart.
After all, my father often said that listening and watching more is the right thing to do, but don't easily forget your original intention.
Due to the sailing against the current and the swelling of the river, the speed of the iron boat slowed down significantly. On the fifth day of her journey into the West, the Wolf Maiden saw a beautiful and muscular pigeon.
It circled in the air several times before flying straight towards the ashes on the bow of the ship.
Just when she thought she could add food at noon, she found that the latter smiled and took out a handful of fried dry food and fed it to the other party. And the dove rubbed the ashes of his cheeks affectionately, as if he were an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time. It wasn't until it opened her mouth to speak that Loga realized it was a witch.
"Goo, goo!"
"Got it, tell Her Highness Tilly that I'll be there soon. ”
"And me!" Andrea said not to be outdone.
"Goo!"
The pigeon nodded, then spread its wings and lifted into the air, quickly disappearing in the northwest direction.
"She's ......," Lorga asked.
"Maisie, like you, is a witch who can change her whole body form," Ash turned around.
I see-wait, eh? Didn't you say that Maisie was a fierce and ugly beast with wild and powerful power, and why was it a pigeon!?
Before the third princess could come to her senses, Ash patted her on the shoulder and said, "Pack your bags, we'll be in Neverwinter soon." ”
