Chapter 735: The Legacy of Civilization
Roland already knew what was next. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When the Divine Punishment Army was no longer the only way to fight the devil, some of them clashed with Akaris with the belief that they did not want to reduce their own kind to shell material.
Now it seems that the war of faith recorded in the history books of the church is probably synonymous with this war of faith - a fictitious victory that obscures the truth.
The root cause of this conflict, in addition to the disagreement of ideas, is probably the fact that the top management of the federation knows that no matter which option is chosen, there is no guarantee that the devil will be defeated.
According to Phyllis, the Starfall Queen's Divine Punishment Army's Eternal Sleep plan would indeed allow the Federation to have about 3,000 to 4,000 extraordinary warriors with infinite strength and mature skills and tactics before the Battle of the Divine Will. But the disadvantage is that once these thousands of people are lost, they can't be effectively replenished in a short period of time, and it is a long process for the soul to adapt to the body, and a group of warriors who can't withstand the consumption may be able to block the devil's attack for decades, and even recapture the ruins of the holy city of Tachira, but it may not be realistic to break through the Dawn Realm.
And the Chosen One project is not to mention, it is completely a gamble of luck. Failure is normal, and once successful, not only does it have no side effects, but it also brings the witch closer to the gods, according to the description on the slate.
Compared with the two, one is fighting for the present, and the other is betting on the future.
"The end result is, you defeated Falling Star City?"
"A rupture will not produce a real winner, and Tachira will not be the ultimate winner. After the two sides lost their transcendental supremacy, Mistress Eleanor stepped forward, and in order to stop this internal conflict, she threw herself into the central carrier, becoming the first witch to be fused. 」
"You mean, all three are in the labyrinthine ruins......" Agatha was surprised.
"That's right, so far the Federation has lost the three transcendents, which also means the complete collapse of the three-seat system. Pasha lamented, "In this way, the ruins become an inseparable part of the survivors. The parties had to take a step back from each other and reach an agreement at the negotiating table. Tachira stayed behind to continue her research on the Magical Core, while Fallen Star City went to Hermes to build a new Holy City, and due to the extremely limited number of primordial carriers, they would provide a certain amount of ownerless shells to the labyrinth ruins for a period of one hundred years to ensure we had enough men. 」
"After the deadline is reached, if there is no breakthrough discovery, or no clues to the Chosen One have been found, they will withdraw all research from the ruins, including the instruments and primordial carriers that contain the souls. At that point, Fallen Star City will come with the Divine Punishment Army, and if we break the agreement, they will not show mercy to them. 」
"Wait......" Roland heard something wrong, "the church hasn't come to you since?"
As a result, the Witches of Tachira remained hiding underground, not turning over to gain dominance, while the Divine Punishment Army used by the Church was always a crippled version of the Divine Punishment Army, which was overwhelmingly numerous, but did not send troops to capture the labyrinth ruins...... Could it be that they forgot about this agreement?
Pasha sighed, "For a long time, we didn't have the ability to explore outwards - the primordial carrier couldn't be exposed to the sun, and the witch who transferred the soul needed to readjust to the body, so it wasn't clear what happened to Hermes at the time...... It was only later that they realized that the new order they had constructed no longer followed the will of Master Akaris. 」
"Sure enough!" said Agatha, gritting her teeth, "I'll just say that the Lord couldn't have done this, and that the Church's approach was completely destroying the foundation of witches compared to the Divine Punishment Army!"
This sentence aroused the unanimous approval of the survivors opposite.
Roland waited for everyone to calm down a little before changing the subject and asking, "What exactly is the central carrier, and what is the difference between it and the primordial carrier?"
"They're all shells—the very fragile nature of a vanished civilization, so they have to live in it. These shells have the ability to live forever, but the literature does not detail where they came from. This time the respondent seemed to be a different person, and her tone was very intellectual and soft compared to Pasha and the angry ones before, "Of the knowledge we have so far, the primordial carrier is the most common kind of body. In addition to having a similar appearance, the central carrier also stores many unconscious memories inside, which can be regarded as a primordial carrier that has been used for many years but has lost consciousness - only by fusing these memories together can the remaining documents and experimental records be deciphered. 」
"You are ......" Just listening to this voice, Roland could imagine an academic woman wearing large, round-framed black-rimmed glasses and waist-length thick braids.
"My name is Selene, Your Majesty, and I am a member of the Secret Society, and I have worked with Agatha. 」
"I don't know her very well," Agatha whispered, leaning her head, "even if you work in a research tower, you don't have to be on the same floor. However, I heard that she is usually very quiet, and once she talks about something related to magic, she will become fanatical and uninhibited as if she is a different person. ”
Probably it is such a person who will become a loyal follower of Nataya, Roland coughed twice, "So the witch who was fused...... Still alive?"
"Not to be considered alive," Selene replied, "In addition to Master Eleanor and the dozen or so witches who were seriously injured in the conflict, we fused thirty-six more volunteers to revive the central carrier—not everyone wants to be a monster or be confined to an unconscious cage for the rest of their lives. Sadly, it can't talk to us normally and can only answer yes or no. 」
"Yes or no?" Roland's heart moved slightly, "Is any question okay?"
"It has to be understandable, and the clearer the conditions, the faster it will answer. Without the Hub Carrier, it would be impossible to repair or alter the Mana Core. Selene's voice grew a little excited, "It's a synthesis of Tachira's will, and the more people who merge it, the faster it reacts, so for us, accompanying Eleanor is the final contribution to the quest for magic." 」
Roland had a completely different idea, typing in the question, getting feedback, isn't this the most primitive biological computer system? If the conditions are set, can it solve equations? Can it do complex calculations independently? If only it could be turned into Neverwinter and studied it!
It's just that the current atmosphere is not suitable for such a request, so he had to suppress the thoughts in his heart for the time being, and planned to wait for the time to discuss the conditions later.
"I see, I have a basic understanding of your situation, and now only one last question remains. Roland drank the chaotic drink from his cup, "Whether it is you, the church, or those ancient books that have been handed down, the word divine will is repeatedly mentioned. I've even heard that there is a mysterious temple built beneath the Hermes plateau, and on the top floor there is a secret room that no one but the Pope can approach, and if you stand in it, you can sense the presence of the gods...... Can you tell me what God's will is?"
