Chapter 732: The Beginning of the Ideal
When Phyllis said the news, the hall suddenly boiled. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"How is it possible for a mortal to contact a god?" Elblem's voice was filled with shock and disbelief, "You must be mistaken!"
"Are you sure the pillar of light really came from him?" have you checked all the witches in the west of Greykeep?" Selene pointed to the point.
These two questions are obviously on the minds of most people.
"I've seen it with my own eyes, and his key is much more complicated than Pasha had asked for, and the multicolored magic stone can't contain that gable-like orange light," Phyllis said slowly, "I couldn't believe it at first, but ...... This is indeed the case. ”
"And does he have magic in him?" asked Pasha with the last glimmer of hope.
"Unfortunately, he couldn't activate the Damned Instrument. 」
Phyllis's answer darkened everyone's faces, it was an accident to find the Chosen One with the complex key so quickly, but it was also too big. No one could have predicted that the magic would be separated from the key, a discovery that would turn their previous ideas upside down.
Without magic, you can't connect to the core, not even by relying on a witch to transfer - mortals' physiques can't withstand the damage of this extraordinary power, and even the strongest people can last a quarter of an hour or two, they can't grasp the essentials of using magic, which has been fully proven in the time of Tachira.
What's even more worrying for Pasha is that she thought that the High Witches had a good chance of becoming the Chosen One, and that they could easily find a dozen candidates who met the requirements in the days when the Commonwealth ruled the Fertile Plains. But the news that Phyllis brought back completely shattered this idea - there were actually more than a dozen high-level promotions in the small city of Neverwinter!
Such a staggering number means that the Witch League is no weaker than some of the Federation's core organizations, such as the Secret Society and the Holy Blessed Army, which only have so many high-level existences. But even so, Phyllis failed to discover another Chosen One.
"Destroying the devil was within reach, but the opportunity was missed because the ruins were discovered too late" and "They never actually came close to the goal, and the Chosen One project was wishful thinking from beginning to end". If so many high-ranking witches are not up to the Chosen One's requirements, is it really right for them to follow Lord Nataya's resolute resistance to the Starfall Queen's plan for the Divine Punishment Army?
The thought made Pasha shudder, and she shook her head, suppressing the surging thoughts, and asked, "You just said that the mortal king wants to cooperate with us?"
"He wants to know us, and he's willing to join forces against the devil," said Phyllis, "but the specific requirements will have to be discussed later." ”
"Do you think he has what it takes to fight the devil?"
"I'm not sure...... The weapons he displayed were indeed incredibly powerful, but I still knew too little," Phyllis hesitated for a moment, "but Agatha has some confidence in this, and she thinks that if she gives Neverwinter another two or three years, it is not impossible to keep the devil at bay to the west of the desperate mountains. ”
"What does she think of our relationship with Neverwinter?" Elfin asked in a deep voice.
"Agatha thinks she's a Tachira witch, but she'll be in the service of Roland Wimbledon, the mortal king," Phyllis paused, stating the idea of a new federation, "She thinks that the most urgent task at the moment is to defeat the devil, and that all the forces on the continent should unite and fight for the third battle of the divine will." ”
"Playing for mortals, is she crazy?" Elfin shouted, "Have she forgotten how we lost to the Devil in the First Battle of the Divine Will?"
There was also a cacophony of discussion in the crowd, a history that almost all members of the Federation had to learn, and there may have been outstanding extraordinaries among mortals, but as a whole, their performance was really hard to tell.
For example, opening the city gate to surrender to the devil and then being killed, or the witch army galloping thousands of miles to help, but being turned away by the lord, watching the reinforcements be strangled by the devil little by little...... As for the cases of cowardice and escape, there are countless cases. Sometimes a huge army of 20,000 or 30,000 people is not as effective as the elite squad of about 100 witches, and there are even vicious incidents in some places where mortals use the Divine Punishment Stone to deal with witches, which exacerbates the breakdown of cooperation between the two sides.
If it weren't for that, humanity wouldn't have retreated all the way from the Great Dawn Realm to the Fertile Plains.
With such a poor performance, coupled with the scarcity of food and resources, it is only natural that the mortal regime will be completely replaced by witches.
Looking at Elfim, who danced her tentacles to show her displeasure, Pasha had the same concern in her heart. Judging from Phyllis's description, Roland Wimbleton, King of the Grey Keep, may have been an outstanding extraordinary, but it is difficult for one person to change an entire mortal community, and if other kingdoms make foolish and lowly mistakes, which side will he be on then? If the war goes on for twenty or thirty years, will he still be as determined and energetic as he was when he was younger?
Not everyone wants to be attached to an empty shell, losing all perception in order to prolong their lives. Even if he agrees, forty or fifty years from now, will his children and grandchildren be willing to be heirs for the rest of their lives?
These are all questions that Pasha needs to consider.
In general, as long as the devil can be defeated, any price is allowed - both Akalis, Nataya, they all believe in one thing: humans are immortal, witches are immortal, and one day, they will return to the top. This is precisely the essential difference between the divine and the mortal.
What she fears is that she has paid the price and still loses. After all, they didn't have a chance to try again.
"Let's talk to Roland first," Selene pressed the indignant Elfin with her mustache, "I dealt with Agatha when I was in the Secret Society, and although she sympathized with mortals, she didn't take it personally. Besides, we had planned to communicate with the secular kingdom, and now that we have a mortal king who does not discriminate against witches and is ready to meet the battle of the divine will in advance, isn't it an ideal start for us?"
"I agree, we alone can't stop the devil. ”
"With the help of mortal propaganda, we can also expand our influence in the witch organization. ”
"And he's still helping to recruit witches...... That way, Phyllis would have a better chance of finding the second Chosen One. ”
"I'm curious if those gunpowder weapons, if in our hands, would kill the devil as neatly as slaughtering the beast?"
The witches of divine punishment said in a rambling voice.
Selene was right, and Pasha sighed, whether they accepted the idea of a "new federation" or not, they had to reconnect with mortals, and an enlightened monarch like Roland was already the most suitable person to talk to. As for what to do in the future, we will have to wait for the discussion before deciding - probably the other party has the same idea, right?
Thinking of this, she nodded at Phyllis, "I see, please let His Majesty Roland Wimbledon come here and talk about it." ”
