Over the next three days, news from the front line came one after another. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info When he heard that the nightingale was exhausted and he fell into a coma, his heart tightened a lot, but fortunately, the other party was finally fine, and when the news arrived, he had basically recovered as before, and asked Maisie to pass the word, so that he didn't have to worry about himself.

The results of the exploration show that there is indeed a remnant of an underground civilization in the Great Snow Mountain, but its preservation is far less intact than the one in the Desperate Mountain Range. Most of the caverns have collapsed, and the few remaining compartments are filled with rotting food, insect eggs, and corpses. Not far from the underground lake, the Taqira Witch has also found the long-damaged core of magic, leaving almost nothing of valuable documentation behind, and the only gains so far are a primordial carrier and two devouring worms.

This surprised Roland a little.

It wouldn't be surprising if the multi-eyed monster that roamed the lake was a pure beast, but it happened to be a nest for the ruins to call home. But the other party is obviously not without intelligence, the laboratory that drove the worms to devour Agatha and the black stone tower of the devil's camp have nothing to do with predation, plus the strange insect cysts found in the ground that encapsulate the devil and humans, no matter how you look at it, there is a suspicion that they are deliberately collecting information about the two races.

Especially when the first "cyst corpses" were returned, he noticed that the broken skin of the victims was not the result of corrosion, but the waxing of the skin that had been stored for a long time. This indicates that the corpses in the worm sacs have been present for a long time, and do not seem to have been prepared for the purpose of stockpiling rations.

This act of making other creatures into specimens is obviously something that only intelligent individuals do, so why would it toss the ruins beyond recognition?

Or is it ...... What the Tachira Witch values, the monster doesn't care?

Roland looked at the "live reproduction photo" drawn by Zoroya, and thought for a moment.

When the monster finally submerged in the water, the strong hatred revealed by the hundreds of remaining scarlet eyes was like the essence - I don't know if it was an illusion, compared to the magic eye that appeared on the top of the cave at the beginning, it seemed to have something more in its eyes after suffering a heavy blow, as if it was just a simple stare before, and the back brought a very distinct emotion, especially when comparing the two pictures together, there was a faint feeling that the two were not the same monster.

As for the lake at the bottom of the ruins, Sylvie had confirmed its direction - the vein that led to the sea.

And according to the current level of technology he has mastered, once the enemy escapes into the whirlpool sea, it is equivalent to completely losing the target. All that can be done after that is to blow up the ruins dome and completely seal off the underground water veins to ensure the safety of the rear of Winterfell.

Of course, it is not without good news.

Lightning's report mentions that Fran was immobilized by a colloidal substance spewed by a reptilian insect that was the same type of "eggworm" that wrapped the corpse, and the mucus in their bodies seemed to consolidate quickly under certain circumstances, and produced a strong cohesion, like a spider spinning silk. At the same time, these reptiles have no intelligence to speak of, and are not aggressive on their own, and Agatha has studied them and confirmed that they do not belong to any of the species of the Fertile Plains.

In other words, it is highly likely that this reptile was brought by a "monster".

Roland didn't care where it came from, he cared about the glue that solidified quickly, and according to Lightning's description, there might be a possibility of artificial breeding.

Therefore, in his reply, he asked Agatha to make a detailed report on the dangers of the new species, the range of predation, and the habits of life, as well as the strange plants and fungi in the ruins, especially the fruits that emit a faint cold light. and giant mushrooms, which are the size of adults, are of particular interest to him.

Just as Roland was about to look through the wonders of the world beneath the cave one more time, there was a knock on the door outside his office.

It was Phyllis who walked in.

She saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Pasha would like to speak with you about the ruins. ”

Roland nodded, all the information he got these days would be copied to Tachira, and he also wanted to know what those ancient witches thought of visceral monsters.

"Let's just talk by video conference. ”

"Vision...... What?" Phyllis was stunned, then quickly reacted, "You mean the Illusion Instrument?"

"That's right, it's still the old place, the living room on the first floor. Roland couldn't help grinning, now someone could finally understand his "nonsense".

"I see," she laughed, "I'm going to tell Pasha." ”

......

Coming to the hall, Farjin and the others who were waiting here immediately stood up straight, pressed their hands to their chests, and gave him the gift of a high-ranking promoter, with a meticulous demeanor, and they were completely different from them who had recovered their true bodies in the dream world.

Ever since they had taken them on a tour of the Dreamland, the Witches of Divine Punishment had treated him as a figure worthy of the three seats of the Federation, and although they still used the word mortal when talking about the other lords, it was clear that he was not included, which was clearly evident in the etiquette and attitude.

Roland had told them not to pay too much attention to these formal things, but the witches of divine punishment agreed to return, and the salutation was still as standard as ever, even more serious than the guards. After a few times, he let them go.

Walking into the living room, Pasha was already waiting across the light curtain.

"First of all, I have to express my sincere gratitude to you," she bowed her beard, "whether it's the exploration of the ruins these days, or allowing the Witches of Divine Punishment to regain their lost senses, your help means a lot to Tachira. 」

"In the face of the upcoming battle of divine will, this is also a kind of self-help," Roland responded with a smile, "By the way, have you figured out how to recover the carrier in the ruins?"

"There are only two ways...... Either move the carrier back directly, or transport the soul apparatus over," she paused, "I'm more inclined to the latter. 」

When the mana core is closed, it is no different from a dry skeleton, and it is not difficult to transport it by a cement ship, but the carrier is not...... Even inactive sarcomas and worms are far beyond the reach of the average human being - Neverwinter's basic education is not enough for the populace to accept these hellish monsters.

Roland also prefers the second approach in principle, but there are also problems with transporting instruments.

"So have you chosen a witch who is willing to accept soul transfers?"

Unlike half a month ago, although the possession carrier has abandoned its human form and cannot be restored, it can re-experience the long-lost sense of touch, taste and smell, so most of the witches are willing, even longing, to merge with the carrier, which is why Pasha and others are so concerned about the possible ruins in the snowy mountains.

Now, however, the situation has changed completely.
