After the personnel arrived, Roland recounted what Lightning had discovered from beginning to end, "The transparent crystal coffin that appeared in an ancient ruins, there is no sign of corruption in the damp basement, the magic gems that kept screaming for help, and transformed into The devil of flying ashes... what do you think?"
"You mean, she might be a witch?" Anna pondered, "If she is still alive, maybe she can learn more about what happened more than 400 years ago."
"It's also possible that she wasn't a witch, or even belonged to that era," Scroll hesitated for a moment, "and..."
"And she's not necessarily on our side." Ye Ye added.
This sentence made Roland slightly startled. Indeed, if the ruins were left by the church, the other party was likely to be a member of the church. Judging from the gorgeous costumes described by Lightning, he might still be a high-ranking person. Ordinary people are fine, but if it is a witch, it will be tricky to deal with.
From the fight between Ashes and Nightingale, and then to the attack by the Faceless, it can be seen that there is no clear dividing line between the witches' fighting power. Even if the extraordinary person does not wear the God's Stone of Retaliation, he may not be able to match the unique ability of ordinary witches. And if the fighting witch is first aided by the witch, the situation is also worrying.
If the other party is malicious, no one can guarantee that her ability will not pose a threat to the Witch Union... Unless, she is awakened within the influence of the God's Stone of Retaliation.
"Are you all crazy, you actually think about whether she is on our side?" Lily held her forehead weakly, "How could someone who lived more than four hundred years ago live to this day? Witches are short-lived, even if they are physically strengthened. There is no one who is more than a hundred years old, and you think too much. According to me, maybe if the thing is broken, the people inside will turn into dust like the devil. "
"The short life is due to the so-called demon bite," Roland corrected. "The physical quality of witches is generally stronger than that of ordinary people, and the actual lifespan should be longer."
"The average person is forty or fifty years," Lily snorted. "Do you think everyone lives as long as a turtle?"
The average life expectancy of 40 to 50 years is caused by poor food supply and low medical level. As long as the quality of life improves, it can increase by another 20 years. But what she said was not without reason, Roland thought, even with these added, there is still a long way to go before the four-hundred-year lifespan... Even a tortoise might not live that long.
"But she does seem to be alive," Lightning shouted. "You can tell by looking at it. She is completely different from those dead demons. Her skin is smooth and her lips are full of blood. Maisie!"
"Goo! Lightning is right!"
"Okay, stop arguing," Wendy stood up and interrupted, "Whether she's dead or alive, it's worth our try."
"Are you sure?" Scroll asked with a frown.
"In case she is really a witch of the Church, as long as she hangs up the God's Stone of Retaliation before she wakes up. And we still have Anna and Nightingale, so it's not a big problem to restrain her." Wendy said calmly, "The key is The fact is that she may know about the accident that happened more than 400 years ago, and that alone is worth our rescue."
Indeed, the information of the devil is very important to the town, and the news that the church is trying to hide will definitely be extremely detrimental to them. If they can grasp these in advance, they may be able to take the initiative in future confrontations.
Anna and Nightingale also agreed with Wendy's opinion. As a result, even if Scroll felt inappropriate, they would no longer object, and the Witch Union had basically reached an agreement.
"Where's the First Army?" Roland looked at Iron Axe.
"Only fifty people can be dispatched at most," the latter said, "Your Highness, you have dispatched several teams to assist the city hall in recruiting refugees from all over the world, and now there are only more than five hundred soldiers left in the town. God's punishment, but he may still make a desperate attempt to launch a large-scale attack on the western border, and the First Army must leave enough manpower to guard against the capital."
"I understand," he nodded. The scale of fifty people is a bit small, and facing the devil's long-range spear blows outside the field of vision is likely to cause heavy damage. To make up for this, in addition to Lightning and Maisie's aerial reconnaissance, Sylvie's perspective ability is essential. The ideal team should be the hot air balloon and the ground troops to advance in coordination, the witch to undertake the task of vigilance and close combat, and the long-range suppression to the musket team.
But in this way, the Sleeping Island witch will also know that there are sleepers in the ruins. Roland considered again and again, but decided to bring Sylvie. After all, in this rescue, protecting his own safety is still the most important thing.
Just when he was about to arrange a rescue plan, Miyue whispered, "My God... what is that?"
Everyone looked out of the window following her gaze, and couldn't help being stunned.
Roland pushed open the window in disbelief, and saw that the gloomy sky was filled with white elves at some point in time. They covered the sky and made no sound. He stretched out his hand, caught a handful of white dots, and felt a cold touch in his palm.
Snowing.
This is not normal... As far as he knows, there will only be snow in the winter in the Western Region, not to mention that it is not winter yet!
Will it also snow in the last month of autumn? He looked at Iron Axe, and the latter had a serious face and slowly said, "I have only been in the town for seven or eight years, and I have never experienced such a situation."
Once the snow falls, it means the arrival of the demon moon, and the sun will be buried under the clouds until the next time it shines. During this time, the entire Western Region will face the threat of evil beasts. Not to mention the mobilization of the First Army, even transporting witches in hot air balloons has become dangerous. At this time, the Hidden Forest is full of ferocious evil beasts. It is definitely an extremely risky thing to leave the protection area of the city wall.
He had to abort the rescue plan and wait for the sky to clear.
From the bottom of his heart, he felt that the heavy snow was probably an accident and would end soon. After all, the temperature is still at the level of autumn, and it has not dropped much.
Three days later, the town was completely covered in silver, and the mountains and forests in the distance were covered with a layer of white veil. It was definitely a rare beauty in the future, but Roland had no intention to appreciate the scenery.
Although the snow situation has weakened a lot, there are still scattered snowflakes falling, and the First Army has also entered a state of full alert. The newly built city wall is regularly patrolled every day, and a temporary camp is set up at the foot of the city wall. Jump into battle quickly. The temperature changed almost daily, and his attire changed from a single to a cotton wool coat.
On the fourth day, the news from the front line completely sank Roland's heart.
The western section of the city wall was attacked by evil beasts.
The Month of Demons came more than a month early. (., Your support is my biggest motivation.)
