Chapter 1187 The So-Called Inheritance

"Technical..." Roland frowned. He had seen in the devil's memory fragments how these aliens were promoted - by fusing with more powerful magic stones to define their own talents or talents. If they succeed, they will live, and if they fail, they will die. In essence, it is not much different from the witch's ability. They are all resigned to fate, and even more cruel.

But technology is different... As long as you master its laws, you can quickly expand the scale and develop according to needs. This is by no means a good sign for mankind.

"Are you sure?" As the person closest to Roland in thinking, Anna obviously realized this.

"Further research needs to be done on the returned remains, but..." She looked at Celine.

The latter nodded his beard and led everyone to a black boulder full of cracks. "This is part of a giant skeleton. Judging from the current rough anatomy results, it is likely to be a living thing."

"Hmm... It's not surprising that there are living creatures," Roland said, stroking his chin. After all, an officer mentioned in the post-war report that when the enemy's giant skeleton was hit by a shell, it let out a howl that resounded throughout the battlefield. Voice. "This thing is equivalent to the armor of a deformed devil."

"No, Your Majesty," Celine said in a strange tone, "I mean... this stone is alive."

"What?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then took a step back in unison.

"Wait, you mean it's alive?"

"Is the stone also a kind of devil?"

"I don't quite... understand. Can you explain it in more detail?"

For a moment, the hall was filled with inquiries.

"To put it simply, it has an independent system and can complete simple actions independently." Celine rolled up a hammer, aimed at the fracture of the stone and struck hard. With a "dang" sound, the stone unexpectedly Trembling slightly. Through the gap, Roland could see something vaguely similar to meridians squirming inside. The trembling lasted for half a minute before it stopped. It was obviously not caused by the hammer.

"From what we saw at the scene, we can know that there is a huge tissue hanging from the lower abdomen of the giant skeleton. We have always thought that it was the body of the deformed demon. But the anatomy results proved that the two are not the same thing. ." Agatha continued, "After discovering this, Celine and I still couldn't understand. Since the skeleton can move on its own, why does the deformed demon in its belly exist? Until we saw the demon slayer transforming his men. , it suddenly occurred to me that this is really similar to the same kind of thing."

Anna was the first to react, "Vector?"

"Yes," Celine praised, "Whether it is the original carrier or the devouring worm, they all have a distinct characteristic, that is, they are still living creatures when there is no controller." She turned and looked at Roland, "Your Majesty, do you still remember what Kabradabi said - 'Did you also grab a piece of inheritance fragment and the civilization was upgraded?'"

"There is another sentence after that," Roland nodded. When he heard the word upgrade for the first time, he almost didn't say "I am Ta'darin", so he was particularly impressed. "Those weapons were also made based on the contents of the fragments." Coming out?...That’s probably what it means.”

Tilly said thoughtfully, "Now it seems that the reason why Kabradabi thinks so is because they have had similar experiences and obtained the method of making carriers from the fragments? In other words, regardless of whether the spider demon Or is it a giant skeleton that is actually a combination of two devils, one of which is the carrier and the other is the manipulator?”

"The possibility is very high. After all, there are too many similarities between the two. For example, the carrier has extraordinary vitality and can survive for an extremely long time in a dormant state; even if it is severely injured, it does not die easily, etc."

"It is not impossible to attribute the inheritance fragments from the devil's mouth to the underground civilization, but isn't the latter's control of the carrier realized through soul instruments? The devil's method seems to be a bit different from this..."

"Perhaps... they have not obtained a complete magic core manufacturing method, so they cannot transform their bodies like the underground civilization," Agatha replied, "Or maybe this is a more suitable method of use for their group - just like the Federation in In the absence of sufficient carriers, the God's Punishment Army transformation method was invented. In a sense, the God's Punishment Warriors are a carrier."

"Wait, isn't this right?" Nightingale said with a confused look, "Although I don't quite understand your reasoning, one thing is certain, that is, human beings have not received any inheritance at all. All the weapons used by the First Army The idea came from His Majesty, and the transformation of the God's Punishment Army was the result of the research of the Federation. As a result, didn't we still master the method of using the magic core and take over the relics of the underground civilization?"

"In fact, this is the crux of the problem," Agatha said seriously. "I guess the only way to obtain inheritance is through divine relics. This is the main reason why I call it technology, not ability."

Roland suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and an indescribable feeling came over him, "You mean...study?"

"Yes," the ice witch breathed out, "through teaching and learning, even if you don't swallow the relics of the gods - or inheritance fragments like what Kabradabi said, you can still get everything accumulated by civilization. I think this is " The essence of inheritance. "

There was a brief silence in the hall.

After a while, Celine's words resounded in everyone's mind, "Considering that the devil has appeared so many new war weapons in four hundred years, maybe the role of the relics of the gods is to greatly shorten the long learning process, or even It is completed in an instant - and the evolution that civilization obtains from this is what they call 'upgrading'."

Roland finally knew what the feeling was surrounding his heart at this moment - maybe Kabradabi was right. Human beings have indeed been inherited, but not by relying on the relics of a certain civilization, but by the oldest oral tradition. As a time traveler, he virtually connected the two worlds.

"If that's true, doesn't it mean that the relics of the gods are recording everything about us all the time?" Wendy looked worriedly at the secret room on the side of the hall, where the relics were stored.

"Unless we can also get a fragment, no one will know the answer." Agatha shook her head, "But if the devil really masters the carrier technology, we are likely to encounter more challenges that we have never seen before. She looked at Roland with an apologetic look, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty... I'm afraid the war experience gained by the Federation over hundreds of years can't help you much."

"It doesn't matter. For the devil, the third battle of divine will will also be a brand new experience." Roland comforted him. Although the future is uncertain, he must maintain confidence in front of everyone and cannot take a step back no matter what. " In addition, if the upgrade is limited to technology, it means that we can also learn what we need from each other, even those civilizations that have long lost their inheritance fragments, doesn’t it?”

"You are right," Celine responded as if she had a clear understanding, "and this is one of the responsibilities of members of our Quest."
