"You mean God's Punishment Witch? That mortal king probably wouldn't think so..."
"Power is not about power," Pasha pointed to Zoe. "The key to changing the human kingdom today is the irreplaceable thing, and that's exactly where our advantage lies."
"So that's what happened!" Celine suddenly realized, "This is indeed much more important than combat ability."
"Ha..." Zooey raised her forehead, "I'll let it go, and leave this important task to Falti and the others."
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Ella said dissatisfiedly, "Why don't I understand anything at all?"
"Pasha is talking about knowledge," the youngest superhuman pouted, "Isn't there an academy, a library, and a private scholar in His Majesty's dream world? Since everything in the dream world comes from his memory, everyone should be able to learn as well. That’s right—compared to selective transcription, it’s obviously better to fully absorb it. As long as you take part of the entertainment time, start with the most basic knowledge, and spend more than ten years of effort, Your Majesty will be able to create a group of people who can fully understand his intentions. helper."
"The energy of mortals will gradually decline with the aging of the body, but we don't have to worry about this. A hundred years is enough to make the witch of God's Punishment become the heir of His Majesty's consciousness. This is our greatest advantage." Pasha added, "Especially after he's gone, only we know what that world looks like."
"If we want to continue on the path that His Majesty Roland has pioneered, we must pass through us—this way, even if we put aside our identity as witches, we will not be affected too much. In a sense, yes Our disadvantage is to try to overthrow His Majesty's will, and the Witch Union will never sit idly by. Conversely, we only control knowledge, which is good for any faction, and even if we don't have force, we will become a force that lifts weight with ease."
"Isn't this what the Yunxiao School does?" El Xia muttered.
Legend has it that when most human beings were still ignorant, some sages gathered together and spread the fire of civilization. They taught people how to make iron, weave and cut clothes, and cultivate livestock until humans spread throughout Dawn. Hundreds of years later, their prestige has become so high that all those in power have tried their best to win over them by various means, so that many members have changed from disseminators of knowledge to private property of power.
After realizing this, the leaders of the sages moved the organization out of the major city-states, and stipulated that they should not easily get involved in politics, and only focus on studying the mysteries of the world and cracking the mysteries of ancient ruins. Because the relocated residence is located on the top of a high mountain and is covered by clouds and mists all the year round, the world calls it the Yunxiao School.
Although these people rarely interacted with the world afterwards, their status remained otherworldly. No matter how the kingship alternates, they are respectful to the Yunxiao School. Every year, they send out a large number of materials and young and strong disciples, just to get the guidance of the sages.
Many good times did not last long, the devil soon entered the human field of vision, and the first battle of divine will broke out—that is, at that time, a disturbing rumor gradually spread, bringing these brutal and terrifying beasts into the dawn realm. , it is a sage hundreds of years ago.
The reputation of the Yunxiao School also plummeted because of this, and it was swallowed up by the devil without any lord willing to lend a helping hand, becoming a dusty corner in the history books.
"At least we won't collude with the devil," Celine said disapprovingly, "and the title of knowledge administrator is not bad, it's much better than the titles set by the Quest."
"Anyway, this is only a preliminary direction. After all, all plans for the future have meaning after defeating the devil." Pasha smiled and patted Celine the tentacle on the head, "Okay, let's adjust the soul instrument. , When the celebration outside is completed, preparations should be made here too—I don’t think Your Majesty will have the patience to wait until tomorrow.”
*****************
While the whole city was still celebrating the victory, Roland had already entered the third frontier city with the main members of the united front.
He really couldn't wait.
If the Devil City in the memory fragment is an old fragment from hundreds of years ago, then what is stored in this high-level devil's brain is the latest information about the enemy. Given that conventional intelligence channels are ineffective against aliens, the significance of this opportunity is particularly important.
Just as soon as he stepped into the core hall area, he noticed something strange.
I saw the Taquila witches lined up, standing in a neat queue in the center of the hall, and the leaders were the three high-level witches who had incarnated the original carrier.
Then the God Punishment Witch raised her elbows, folded her fingers in front of her chest, and bowed down to him.
This is not the first time he has seen this strange way of salute, but it should be the special etiquette of lower-level witches to high-ranking people. However, before he could ask the question, the three carriers also overlapped their tentacles in front of their bodies and dropped to the ground, and Pasha's voice echoed in his mind, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Taquila will always be there. Allegiance to you."
This surprised Roland. The first sentence of thanks was understandable, probably because he saw the hope of defeating the devil and taking revenge, but the wording of the last sentence was obviously different. Although the United Front also requires the entire alliance to serve the leader, the other party's respectful attitude is telling him that the two are not the same thing.
He suddenly thought that the high-ranking witches themselves were the upper class of the Federation, and the only people who needed them to perform this ceremony were the three transcendents.
Does this regard yourself as the third seat of the Federation
Although it is not clear why the other party's attitude has changed, but after being in power for so long, no matter how dull he is about politics, he knows that now is not the time to get to the bottom of it.
Roland coughed twice, and nodded as a normal salute, "No need, this victory belongs to everyone present. By the way, how are you preparing for the soul transfer?"
"You can start anytime," Pasha pointed to a magic core emitting purple light behind her, "please come with me."
Following her to the bottom of the core, Roland noticed that there were two stone beds built next to it. On the bed on the left lay a male God's Punishment Army with no legs. His hair was gray, and it had obviously been transformed for a long time. . On the right is a body that cannot be seen at all. Not only are its limbs incomplete, but even the black armor on its body is full of depressions. It is difficult to imagine that it is still alive under such circumstances.
"Generally speaking, it can't last this time," Zooey seemed to see his doubts, and took the initiative to explain, "If it wasn't for Miss Nana's treatment, it would probably have died that day. In addition, Lord Agatha It also helped a lot, otherwise we would not be able to keep the captured red mist for such a long time. However, in order to prevent the high-level devil from recovering on the road, a series of adjustments have to be made, so it will be what it looks like now."
"Adjust?" Wendy asked in confusion, "How to do it?"
"It's very simple, just give it a knife when it feels relieved, and let it consume as much magic power as possible for self-healing. It's just the first time I've done this kind of work, so I almost swallowed it a few times. Angry." Zooey said with an unfinished expression.
Sure enough, this was what she was looking forward to the most.
Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was a little stiff for a while, Roland cleared his throat and said, "Then, hurry up... Let's start moving now."
"As you wish," Celine stretched out her main whiskers and inserted it into the core.
Happy Christmas everyone! !
