When Phyllis said this news, the hall suddenly boiled.
"How can mortals contact the gods?" Ersha's voice was full of shock and disbelief, "You must have read it wrong!"
"Are you sure he really sent the beam of light? Have you checked all the witches in the western region of Graycastle?" Celine pointed to the crux of the problem.
These two questions are obviously also the thoughts of most people.
"I have confirmed it with my own eyes, and his key is much more complicated than Pasha's request. The multicolored magic stone can no longer hold the orange light like a gable," Phyllis said slowly, "I couldn't believe it at first. , but... it is."
"Does he have magic in him then?" Pasha asked with a last shred of hope.
"It's a pity that he couldn't activate the scourge instrument."
Phyllis's answer made everyone look gloomy. It was a surprise to find the Chosen One with a complicated key so quickly, but this accident was too big. No one could have predicted such a situation - the magic power would be separated from the key, and this discovery completely subverted their previous concept.
Without magic power, it is impossible to connect to the core, even relying on witches to transfer it - mortals cannot withstand the damage caused by this extraordinary power, even if extremely strong people can hold on for a quarter of an hour, they will not be able to master the use of magic power. The point, this has been fully verified in the Taquila era.
What worried Pasha even more was that she thought that the high-ranking witch had a high chance of becoming the chosen one. If the Federation ruled the Fertile Plains, she could easily find a dozen candidates who met the conditions. But the news that Phyllis brought back completely shattered this idea—there are more than a dozen high-level promotions in the small Neverwinter City!
Such an astonishing number means that the Witch Union is no longer weaker than some of the core organizations of the Federation, such as the Quest Society and the Holy Protection Army, and there are only so many high-level existences. But even so, Phyllis failed to find another Chosen One.
"Destroying the devil was within reach, but the opportunity was missed because the ruins were discovered too late" and "they never got close to their goal at all, and the Chosen plan was wishful thinking from start to finish", the perceptions of both are quite different. If so many high-level witches are not up to the requirements of the Chosen One, is it really right for them to follow Lord Nataya and resolutely resist Queen Starfall's God's Punishment Army plan
Just thinking about this made Pasha shudder. She shook her head, suppressing her rushing thoughts, and then asked, "You said just now that the mortal king wants to cooperate with us?"
"He wants to understand us and is willing to unite against the devil," Phyllis said, "but the specific requirements will have to be discussed later."
"You think he has the ability to fight the devil?"
"I'm not sure... The weapons he showed are indeed amazing, but I still know too little," Phyllis hesitated for a moment, "but Agatha has a certain degree of confidence in this, she thinks that as long as she gives Neverwinter two more In three years, it is not without chance that the devil will be kept west of the desperate mountains."
"What does she think of our relationship with Neverwinter?" El Xia asked in a deep voice.
"Agatha thinks she is a Taquila witch, but she will serve Roland Wimbledon—that is, the mortal king," Phyllis paused, and said the idea of the new federation. "She believes that the most urgent task at the moment is to defeat the devil. All forces on the continent should unite and fight for the third battle of divine will."
"Serving mortals? Is she mad?" Elcia shouted. "Did she forget how we lost to the devil in the first battle of divine will?"
There were also noisy discussions in the crowd. That history is something that almost all members of the Federation have to learn. There may be outstanding extraordinary people among mortals, but as a whole, their performance is really hard to tell.
For example, opening the city gate to surrender to the devil, and then being killed completely, or the witch army running thousands of miles to help, but being turned away by the lord, and watching the reinforcements being strangled by the devil little by little... There are countless escapes. Sometimes a huge army of 20,000 to 30,000 people is not as effective as an elite team of about 100 witches. In some places, there are even vicious incidents of mortals using the Stone of God's Punishment to deal with witches, which has aggravated the breakdown of cooperation between the two sides.
If it wasn't for this, human beings would not have retreated all the way from the huge dawn to the Fertile Plain.
With such a poor performance, coupled with the lack of food and resources, the mortal regime was completely replaced by witches, and it became a matter of course.
Pasha had the same worry in her heart as she looked at El Xia, who was dancing with her tentacles to show her dissatisfaction. Judging from Phyllis's description, the King of Greycastle Roland Wimbledon may be an outstanding extraordinary person, but it is difficult for one person to change the entire group of mortals. If other kingdoms make stupid and low-level mistakes, then he will Which side are you on? If the war lasted for twenty or thirty years, would he still be as determined and energetic as he was when he was young
Not everyone is willing to be attached to an empty body and lose all perception in order to prolong life. Even if he agrees, what about his children and grandchildren in 40 or 50 years? Will you be willing to be the heir for life
These are all questions Pasha needs to consider.
In general, as long as the devil can be defeated, any price is permissible - whether it is Akalis or Natalya, they all believe in one truth: human beings are immortal, witches are immortal, and one day, they will be reborn. Back to the top. This is precisely what is determined by the essential difference between the favored one and the mortal.
What she worried about was paying the price and still failing miserably. After all, they have no chance to try again.
"Let's talk to Roland first," Celine held down the indignant El Xia with her beard, "I dealt with Agatha when I was in the expedition. Although she sympathizes with mortals, she doesn't take it easy. Besides, we originally planned to communicate with the secular kingdom, and now we have a mortal king who does not discriminate against witches, and has prepared a mortal king in advance to meet the battle of divine will. Isn't it an ideal start for us?"
"I agree, it's impossible for us to stop the devil at all."
"With the help of mortal propaganda, we can also expand our influence in the witch organization."
"And he's still helping recruit witches... So Phyllis has a better chance of finding the second Chosen One."
"I'm curious about those gunpowder weapons. If we hold them in our hands, will killing demons be as neat as slaughtering demon beasts?"
The witches of God's Punishment said with a lot of tongues.
Celine was right, Pasha sighed, whether they accepted the "New Federation" or not, they all had to reconnect with mortals. An enlightened monarch like Roland was already the most suitable person to negotiate. As for how to proceed in the future, we can only decide after the discussion—probably the other party has the same idea, right
Thinking of this, she nodded at Phyllis, "I see, please let His Majesty Roland Wimbledon come down and talk about it."
