Chapter 990 Behind the Soul

"what way?"

The other side paused for a moment before continuing, "If there is a risk for humans to accept the devil's perception, then just turn the devil into a human."

"What do you mean - transfer souls?" Roland quickly thought of the key.

"You once mentioned that demons exist in the dream world. In other words, the successor of Falling Star City has used the ability to extract souls on demons. This at least proves that they are also affected by soul instruments." Zoe Explained, "Afterwards, as long as the high-level devil is transferred to the body of the God's Punishment Warrior, all the risks in perception can be borne by this guy."

"I see," he couldn't help but nod. Using the God's Punishment Warrior as a carrier would force the devil to adapt to humans, and the sensory feedback received by those who connect to the soul would also be familiar information. When the opponent is confused, it is easier to gain an advantage through conscious confrontation, which does sound like a good idea. "But you will also lose a vessel that can be transferred."

After the church fell, the bodies of the God's Punishment Warriors were basically used one by one.

"We would rather sleep in your dreams than be in a cold cage without consciousness...so there is nothing wrong with this."

"Ahem -" Roland almost choked on his tea. Although he knew that the other party was a woman, when he heard these words said by a rich male voice, the lethality was still too shocking.

"Just kidding," Zoe chuckled rarely, "In fact, we have several defective products in our collection, which can be used for this transfer. What's more, compared to the possible harvest, the price of a body is simply Not worth mentioning."

"Defective product?" He cleared his throat and asked.

"From Hermes to our original hideout, we need to cross the Impasse Mountains to reach it. It is not an easy road, especially during the Demonic Moon. Some God's Punishment Warriors even climbed there - because Both feet have been chewed off by evil beasts. Naturally, a body like this cannot be used as a warrior. We initially planned to use it as a container of immortality for the nobles to enjoy."

Roland twitched his lips secretly, could living like this really be considered enjoyment?

"But even if it is a defective product, it still has the ability similar to the God's Stone of Retaliation, right? If it is used during the connection process, will it cause any problems?"

“Please rest assured on this point, even for us, it will take decades to master an unfamiliar body.” Zoe replied, “And it will take even longer to activate the realm of divine punishment, and many people even You have to wait until the second transfer to use this ability. Even if the devil has an unimaginable talent in this area, it is unlikely to be able to do this during the interrogation period."

Agatha added, "Taking a step back, even if the resonance is interrupted, the pain caused will only be temporary - Sylvie has personally verified similar situations during the investigation."

"By the way, have you discussed this with Ms. Carmilla?" Roland suddenly thought of a key question.

"We have talked about it, and she was negative at first - after all, this is something that has never been tried before, and any witch serving as an interrogator cannot be said to be without risk, but Zoe convinced her."

"Really..." he suspected, the other party was not an eloquent person.

"It's actually very simple, Your Majesty," Zoe continued, "I just told her that the person whose mind is connected to the devil is none other than myself."

Roland couldn't help but be slightly startled.

"I am both a transcendent and the first to be awakened as the God's Punishment Witch...

…In such a state one can deal with the devil with greater certainty than most people. "She said calmly, "Of course the most important thing is that I am the proposer of this plan and I should naturally bear all risks. "

This is probably the reason why the ancient witches have a high self-esteem but are not annoying... Roland thought to himself that when it comes to dealing with devils, they are indeed among the group of people who take the lead in shouting "Fight with me". This alone is enough to defeat many people.

"I understand, let's do as you say." He replied after a moment of silence, "Remember not to relax the monitoring of high-level devils on the way back."

"Ah, I will take good care of it, Your Majesty." Zoe smiled.

Perhaps compared to the final interrogation, the escort process was what she was looking forward to most.

After ending the call, Roland fell into deep thought for a while.

Do humans and demons really have souls?

If not, how do these Taquila witches change bodies at will? What is the principle of the soul instrument?

If so, why can't the soul exist alone without the body? After all, if you can peel off and give souls at will, it is no different from immortality.

There is also the dream world... How is an illusory space that is so realistic but does not exist in the world realized? What is there at the end of the so-called pillar of light leading to the divine realm in the ancient books of underground civilization?

After much deliberation, I am afraid that it is only possible to solve this mystery after understanding the nature of the battle between magic power and divine will.

But no matter what, he now has a chance to witness the soul transfer with his own eyes.

…

Compared to the worries during the expedition, the return time seemed to go much faster.

Due to the increasing maturity and growth of the city hall, there are now very few government affairs that require Roland's personal involvement, so he spends most of his free time on several key industrial projects.

The test flight of the glider is still progressing steadily, and the flight manual written by Tilly has gradually grown from a few thin pages to a book as thick as a book. When adding the cover, Roland deliberately used gold as the title color.

The steel ship became more and more familiar in Thunder's hands. Although the power and control system were not satisfactory at the beginning, and there were constant major and minor failures, after several improvements, it finally looked like a real sea ship.

In addition, the mage tower built specifically for Agatha was also announced for completion in the last month of autumn. From the moment it was completed, this five-story concrete building has been characterized by unique shapes with different painting styles, and surpassing the lords. The height of the castle has become a new landmark in Neverwinter. There is no doubt that until the Miracle Building is completed, it will be the most eye-catching sight in the city.

In addition to these, the construction of petroleum fractionation towers and factories built for the assembly of new generation power sources are also nearing completion. In the past, the closer to winter, the quieter the Western Territory became, as if towns and cities fell into hibernation along with the land. However, since the establishment of Neverwinter City, this phenomenon has gradually reversed, and reached a new peak this year. From the Bei Slope Mining Area to the Shoal Harbor, busy people and newly built houses can be seen everywhere. The prosperity and vitality displayed in the streets and alleys amaze all the businessmen who come here.

One and a half months later, the First Army finally returned to its starting point after a long absence.

The people of Neverwinter spontaneously formed groups in the suburban grasslands to welcome him, and their cheers almost resounded into the sky.

That same day, glistening white snow fell in the sky.

The long cold winter...is coming.
