Chapter 816: "The Devil of the Deep Sea"
The Witch of Divine Punishment can interrupt her consciousness to enter the dream world, and thus obtain her full body and feelings, which is well known to the remnants of the Third Frontier City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Roland has heard Phyllis say more than once that whenever she returns to the underground, she will be surrounded and questioned by her fellow guards, and the content is basically about the experience in her dreams, and her eagerness is overflowing.
Now that there are other ways to regain their senses, will they still voluntarily merge their souls with their carriers as they did before?
Of course, the latter is not without merit, at least the dream world can only be experienced when he sleeps, while the feelings of the carrier are always there, and if the body is not damaged, it can almost be regarded as immortal.
The choice between the two is probably not so easy.
However, the other party has another choice, that is, to conceal the news of the dream world first, and then carry out the transformation after transporting the instrument, even if he is reluctant afterwards, he will not regret it. It's just that Roland thinks that Pasha and the others will not adopt this deceptive approach, and after more than a month of getting along, he found that although these people have been isolated from the world for hundreds of years, they have not become an organization that eats the ancients, not only has a positive attitude towards new things, but also does eliminate the class among themselves. Apparently they were greatly touched by the sacrifice of the three seats of the Federation, and the threat of the devil forced them to keep moving forward.
"You don't need to worry about that," Pasha seemed to read his thoughts, "more carriers are good for defeating the devil - the primordial carriers can operate the magic core, devouring the worms can speed up the construction of defenses, and as long as it is conducive to the battle of divine will, they will not hesitate in any way." In fact, the witches involved in the transformation will travel with the instrument to the Great Snow Mountain. 」
Volunteers who are not afraid of any cost...... Roland pursed his lips, "It seems that I am indeed overthinking, and when the exploration is completed, I will send a fleet to transport the transformation instruments." ”
"Thank you for your help," she smiled.
Roland nodded, and spread out the pictures drawn by Zoroya on the table, "The information that came back before was just text clues, and these pictures were only delivered to me today - they can be seen as real reproductions of the scene, I wonder what you think of this monster?"
"Wait a minute. Pasha waved her tentacles and summoned Selene and Elblem, who were repairing the Instruments of Damnation not far away, and the three sarcomas came together in front of the light curtain, looking at the lifelike "burst photos".
This time the silence was unexpectedly long, they touched each other's beards, and they communicated consciously, and the sarcoma itself could not see any expression, Roland even had the illusion that they had been disconnected.
It was a long time before Pasha's voice resounded in his head, "I've kept you waiting, because there are some pictures that surprise us so much that we have to double-check. 」
"It's neither a beast nor a devil, is it?"
"That's right," Serene continued, "and the skeleton when it fell into the water was once in the realm of the gods narrated by Lord Nataya. 」
"Are you sure?"
"We've been underground for hundreds of years, but we've not been so demented as to forget such important information - the carrier's ability to remember is actually far greater than that of humans. "Lord Nataya has seen the sea and skeletons in the third picture, and from the description, it is very close to the scene in the picture. Add to that the fact that the lake leads to the sea, and this judgment is even more credible. 」
"So, now it's certain that it does belong to the civilization that has never been seen?" Roland asked, touching his chin. He wasn't surprised by this outcome - when he discovered that Devouring Worms didn't even spare the Devil's Camp, there were only two possibilities left for the forces behind it, either the neutrals who didn't like anyone, or the last side in the battle of divine will. In addition to helping the remnants of Tachira, the Exploration of the Snowy Mountains Project is also an operation to clear the threat and get to the bottom of the opponents.
In addition, in the fragments of Jieluo's memory, he had read similar accounts, but the description was very vague, and now with the confirmation of the Taqira witch, the true identity of the monster could almost be confirmed.
"Quite possibly, but ......," Pasha hesitated before continuing, "there are still many things to be puzzled about, such as the Beast. 」
"These beasts that pervade the Dawn Realm are supposed to have been corrupted and mutated by magic, just like witches who have received magical powers, but why do they follow the instructions of this monster? This is not the same as the devil's forcible enslavement of the hybrids, but rather the relationship between the commander and the obedient. 」
Roland had also thought about this question, and if the evil beasts were considered part of that civilization, it would be equally difficult to explain why they did not accumulate hybrids and then bulldoze humans and demons in one fell swoop. But any race with a little wisdom will not let their power be wasted in the evil moon every year.
Perhaps the origins of these deformed beasts are not as simple as they think.
"We'll always know the answer when the War of Divine Will," Roland said with a shrug, pretending to be relaxed, "and if they're relatives of monsters, that's fine." By the time we've defeated all our opponents, we'll have no more of these ugly creatures in the snow, even if the Demon Moon comes. ”
「...... That's right," Pasha was stunned at first, then chuckled, "You really see it. Indeed, no matter how they were born, they are enemies that we must defeat as long as they appear in the battle of the divine will. 」
The ensuing discussion focused on how to block the ruins and build a desperate defense, and towards the end of the meeting, Roland suddenly thought of a key question.
"By the way, now that we've caught the tail of a hidden civilization, we've got to give them a name," he cleared his throat, "just like the first picture of civilization being called the devil." ”
"Does that matter?" asked Pasha, tilting her beard, "The devil is only the most popular name, and in the federation there are also people who call him a blood beast, a deformed demon, or a polluter. 」
"Of course, a proper name is very important for both propaganda and mobilization, and the more evil it appears, the more it can provoke antagonism. ”
"That...... What do you think it's called?"
"Well, since they are potential enemies and have been in the sea for a long time, how about calling each other sea monsters?"
「......」
The audience fell silent.
"Uh...... Isn't it good?"
"I thought the name Third Frontier City was bad enough, but I didn't think it could be worse," Elbish scoffed, "Sea monster? 」
"Elble!" Pasha patted the former's head with her beard, "Your Majesty, if you think you can...... I think...... There's nothing wrong with that. 」
Although he said that, why was the other party's tone so reluctant? Roland took a sip of tea from his cup to hide the embarrassing atmosphere of the scene.
"Ahem," the scroll that was taking notes on the side suddenly coughed twice, "Your Majesty, why don't you call it the Deep Sea Devil." ”
"Deep Sea...... Devil?" he repeated.
"Yes, the concept of the devil is so ingrained that we don't need to describe it too much to understand what it means, which will help promote the town hall's propaganda efforts and make the public feel like they have to face multiple enemies at the same time. The scroll explained, pinching the quill pen.
"It seems to be a little better...... Roland pouted unwillingly, "then it will be as you say." ”
As a result, the second picture scroll civilization has an official external name.
