After saying goodbye to Garcia, Roland returned to his apartment.
Phyllis was sitting in the living room waiting for him, "Your Majesty, that person was..."
"The magic awakener in this world calls himself a martial artist," he waved his hand. "You don't need to mind her attitude. No one in the dream world knows my true identity except you."
"But she was created by you after all..." Phyllis still seemed a little worried. Since she agreed to her request and took her to relive the food experience, the ancient witch's respect for Roland has become completely different from before.
"It's not like that in their eyes. People here have complete memories and thoughts. From birth to death, it has nothing to do with me. Even the whole world has its own rules," Roland sat down opposite her and bluntly said, " For now, I'm also part of the rules."
When she mentioned the world, Phyllis's eyes immediately burst into dazzling brilliance. What she saw and heard along the way brought an indescribable shock to her.
She first glanced at Zero's room before asking in a low voice, "Your Majesty, is this where you used to live? With all due respect, the fourth prince of the Greycastle Kingdom is just your pretense, right?"
Roland's brows jumped, "Why do you say that?"
"Because your Neverwinter is like this too!" Phyllis excitedly said, "I didn't quite understand when I first got here, why it is only a road with carriages, but it has to be built so spacious and flat, even if the space is limited. It's still the case in the city of 2000... Now I know that you are not prepared for carriages at all, those four-wheeled vehicles that come and go like the wind are your goals!" She paused, "And the power of boiling water is infinite. Machines, buildings that are said to be built with more than ten floors, weapons with amazing power, etc... The reason why this city has become what it is today has something to do with that world, right?"
"I am indeed the fourth prince, but when I arrived at Border Town, I suddenly had some memories in my head." Roland thought for a while and decided to hide the time travel. After all, he hoped that only the closest witch would know about this secret. "It contains the deepest, most incredible knowledge of which I only have a tiny fraction of it today."
"Then it must have been given to you by the gods," Phyllis said without the slightest doubt. "The witches of Taquila often say that gods do not love humans, but now it seems that we may be wrong, you have With the smile of the gods, as long as you are here, we will be able to defeat the devil!"
This time, it was Roland's turn to be surprised. Before, he had always wanted the Taquila survivors to believe this, but when the other party said it so decisively, he was a little uneasy. After all, he took her to the park and restaurant. rather than the scene of a military exercise.
When he asked the doubts in his heart euphemistically, Phyllis answered very readily, "Because of those four-wheeled iron carts that come and go."
"car?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. In the Taquila era, if we wanted to transport the combat supplies to the outpost camp, we needed to use a large number of horses and vehicles. Although many witches have the ability to move quickly, they cannot carry too heavy things. Once If the load exceeds a certain limit, the speed of mana consumption will increase exponentially, you should be aware of this."
"Therefore, when the Federation captured the devil's siege beast, everyone felt great pressure. Only one witch can drive a behemoth that is a hundred times its own body weight. If you come to transport supplies, one siege beast can be worth four or five carriages. From this point of view, the devil's mastery and use of magic power is much higher than ours, and the quest will also judge based on this, the enemy The potential for war is better than that of the Witch. It is based on this conclusion that Master Akalis pinned his hopes on the God's Punishment Army plan."
"Do you use transportation capacity to judge strength?" Roland asked with great interest.
Phyllis nodded, "From human carrying to carriage dragging, it determines the range we can cover. There is no doubt that the farther the race goes, the stronger it is." She couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth when she said this, "And in the dream world, those four-wheeled iron carts that are several times the length of the carriage, carrying nearly a hundred people, can still run like flying with ease. This alone is enough to prove the power of the dream world. If your weapon It also comes from this, then it must be able to defeat the devil."
After listening to the other party's explanation, Roland couldn't help feeling emotional. Although the Taquila witches were limited by the times and ultimately failed to defend the Fertile Plain, it didn't mean that they had bad eyesight. In fact, the strength behind it can be seen from the crowded bus, which has surpassed the vast majority of people of the same generation, and even did not show much in front of some modern people.
He has seen this discussion on forums more than once: When aliens invade the earth, how can we defeat these aliens
However, in fact, human beings have done everything they can, it can be said that they have spent their milk-feeding efforts, but they have only sent a few astronauts to the moon, a star closest to the earth. For those civilizations that span hundreds of light-years or even galaxies to reach the earth, it is just a small step like an ant. They can burn the earth to ashes with only the energy consumed by the voyage. , the gap between the two is like an abyss.
If a civilization can expand its footprints to other star systems and really want to invade the earth, the moment it sees them, it is the time when mankind perishes.
At this point, Phyllis... or the superiors of Taquila unexpectedly saw it clearly.
At the end, the ancient witch pressed her chest and saluted again, "Although you are not a witch, and you cannot drive the scourge instrument, I believe that you are the chosen one given to us by the gods."
Faced with this obviously crooked conclusion, Roland was a bit dumbfounded. However, he didn't say anything to deny the other party's idea, and let the Taquila witch completely fall to Neverwinter City, which is undoubtedly a more favorable choice for future development.
He took a deep breath, stood up and said, "Time is limited, let's start testing."
Due to Zero's sake, it was inconvenient for the two to test in the middle of the night, so they had to fight quickly.
After setting up the ladder, Phyllis fell down with her back to the bed, but nothing happened.
Apparently she couldn't leave the dream world by falling.
There are only two possibilities left.
Either when Roland leaves, she will follow, or she will be trapped in this world forever.
When Roland climbed the ladder and turned to sit down, Phyllis walked in front of him.
"If I can stay here forever, it would be a good home, so please don't worry about me. If I can't come back to the dream after leaving, I will keep everything that happened today in my heart, and I will always miss it here. "
Roland nodded, raised his head and fell backwards.
In an instant, the world returned to darkness.
