Neverwinter Castle, in the conference hall.
The faces of the representatives from all sides were a little unsightly, especially Agatha and Phyllis—the news they got from the high-level devils undoubtedly subverted their previous perceptions.
Step by step from the Dawn Realm to the edge of the continent, after nearly a thousand years of struggle and resistance, countless people died in blood, only to find that the enemy has not done their best. At the other end of the vast land, there is a place called Tianhaijie, where the monsters are not weaker than the devils. The reason why human beings have not been wiped out is because they dragged the hands and feet of the devils.
This is definitely another heavy blow to the belief of the Taquila witch.
The solemn atmosphere even infected the Witch League and the Sleeping Spell.
This initiative to attack the outpost, it seems that the results are extremely brilliant, and the battle damage ratio is the best record in 400 years. It is still unknown whether the same big victory can be achieved next time. As long as the casualties increase by a few percent, the humans who have lost a large tract of land and population have little hope of completely eradicating the devil.
"Maybe these are all made up by the other party," Wendy couldn't help standing up and cheered, "After all, no one has ever set foot in the end of the continent, who knows if it's true or not? Until it is confirmed, I don't think it's necessary to let it go. In your heart, what do you say?"
However, there were very few responders.
Agatha gave her a thankful look, "Although Kabradabi's words are exaggerated, to be honest, I don't think it's all lies, especially the part revealed in the early stage of soul transfer— At that time, its ability to control the body was almost zero, and the words it said were basically what she thought, which Zooey should also be able to feel. Even a few words that were almost babbled could corroborate with the following content, unless it was early You've been brewing this lie for years and training yourself for a long time, otherwise it would never have been possible to do it."
"Are you referring to inheritance fragments?" Scroll asked thoughtfully.
"Yes. If I understand correctly, the inheritance fragments of any race—that is, the relics of the gods, can upgrade their own race." Agatha said slowly, "If the devil has the ability to defeat us, take the relics, and How could this opportunity be missed? So there is only one explanation, they really can't make it."
Obviously more than one person has thought of this inference - according to the time sequence, the devil was no different from the uncivilized barbarians in the early days of the first battle of divine will. In the face of the human kingdom like scattered sand, it has been fighting for decades, and the underground civilization is also At that time, I found a human being. When the second red moon came, the enemy suddenly became much more terrifying, and for more than ten years, the Federation was defeated in the Fertile Plain.
If the upgrade can gain such a big advantage, no matter how you think the devil should destroy humans as soon as possible.
"We really underestimated the strength of the devil," Phyllis reproached herself. "Now that I think about it, for four hundred years, the Federation has never looked outside the Dawning Light. What we are staring at is always the familiar one under our feet. We don’t know anything about the world outside the continent. Not to mention the Sky Sea Realm at the end of the land, and even the other end of the Dawn Realm, we don’t know much about it.”
"Oh? What's the other end of this continent like?" Roland asked curiously.
"I have only seen it in ancient books. It is said to be a very barren land, full of mountains and cliffs, and the average height is far above the dawn." Phyllis recalled, "The two are separated by hundreds of miles. Connected by a rising mountain range, surrounded by rising and falling seas. Usually, half of the mountain range is submerged in the sea water, and the whole picture is not revealed until the low tide. Legend has it that the devil invaded the dawn through it."
Wait, why does this description sound so familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere... He touched his chin, and suddenly an electric light flashed in his mind!
The towering continental shelf, boundless cliffs, and huge stone gates embedded in the cliff walls—although there is no last item, the previous descriptions are strikingly similar to what Thunder saw in the Shadow Sea. Could it be that what the expedition team saw at that time was the continent opposite the Dawning Realm
This is interesting, Roland thought to himself, if Neverwinter City was used as the origin, most of the Dawning Realm would be in the northwest, while the Shadow Sea was far to the east of the sea. From there, how could he see the strange continent opposite the Dawning Realm? ? As long as the world is round, even the most precisely carved observation mirror will be affected by the curvature of the planet. It's okay to look at the sky, and to be able to directly see such a distant continent, there must be something strange.
He noticed that Tilly also cast her gaze over—obviously, as a member of the expedition team at that time, she also thought of the wonders she saw in the ruins of the stone towers under the sea.
It was not built by the Federation, but it monitors the continent where the legendary devil lives. Who will be the owner of the ruins
It seems that when Thunder goes out to sea this time, I am afraid that he will have to entrust him to thoroughly investigate the ruins. It is not an explorer's way of looking around, but the will of the country. Every corner of the ruins is turned upside down. until it is completely clear.
"His Majesty?"
It probably took a long time for his mind to wander. When Roland interrupted his thoughts, he found that Agatha was looking at him with understanding and relief in his eyes, "Are you okay?"
"Ah... just thinking about something." He waved his hand.
"Please don't worry too much, I know this news is extremely stressful for you, but human beings are not completely hopeless." The Ice Witch whispered softly, "When I first woke up from the ice coffin, what did you think about it? I said that mortals will conquer the devil... Now, I am convinced of that - even if it will take generations to achieve."
"That's right," Phyllis also agreed, "We are only one step away from the ruins of Taquila. After destroying it, the devil will lose the chance to build the obelisk. If he wants to exterminate us, he will have to wait at least another four weeks. Hundred years. Even if humanity still fails in the end, it's not your fault, you've done better than three seats at this point."
Roland blinked slightly in surprise, and it took a while to react—
Did they frown because they were thinking about the ruins, making them think that they were shocked by the devil's momentum and fell into confusion and frustration
That's why they tried to comfort themselves, to get themselves back on their feet.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help shaking his head and chuckled softly, "That's just signing a lottery - continuing to curl up in a corner, leaving the devil to people four hundred years later is not in my plan, After all... whether I can live to that time is a problem, to solve all the competitors, to solve the mystery of God's will, naturally it is more interesting to do it myself, isn't it?"
"Your Majesty..." Most of the witches present were taken aback, only Anna raised the corner of her mouth.
"Since you remember that I said that mortals will defeat the devil," Roland looked at Phyllis, "then do you remember the other thing I mentioned?"
"The real power is not to make the world darker, but to emit light and heat, and to light up the whole world - this is not what I said to tease that guy on purpose." He said without waiting for the other person to answer, " In the presence of a force shaped like the sun, everything will turn to dust, even the devil. And you, along with me, will witness this scene with your own eyes."
