Chapter 1421 Return

"It's not a dead thing...what do you mean?" Nightingale frowned, "Could it be that the sacred stone in the mine can still talk?"

"There are no discoveries in this area for the time being, but when I was testing at the bottom of the Hermes mine, I accidentally discovered a few rats that were eroded by the sacred stone." Isabella closed her eyes, seeming to recall the scene at that time, "They may be the lost people who fell from the upper levels of the Privy Council to the bottom of the cave after the collapse of the New Holy City. No one knows exactly how the mice were captured by the sacred stone, but part of their bodies has been trapped in the sacred stone, as if... …It’s like the two merge into one.”

"When an insect is wrapped in rosin, it can be regarded as a whole, but amber is still not a living thing." Roland said bluntly.

"I know," Isabella showed a trace of fear on her face, "If it were just that, I wouldn't make this assertion. The problem is... the mouse is still alive, and when I get close, it will attack me. Screaming, as if begging me to release it..."

Roland couldn't help but shudder.

He suddenly understood why the other party felt scared.

The unknown brings fear.

And she stood before a realm she had never seen before.

"...Could it be that the mouse was fastened not long ago?" Nightingale asked pretending to be relaxed.

"I observed them for three months and nine days, and their screams never stopped." Isabella sighed softly. "On the tenth day, I separated one of them with a dagger - and found that its stomach It has long been empty, and has even shrunk severely due to long-term disuse, but some of its blood vessels have grown into the sacred stone."

This means that for three whole months, what provided the mice with the energy they needed to survive... was the Divine Stone.

It seemed that his thinking was too simple. Roland couldn't help but smile bitterly. He previously believed that "only living creatures can gather magic power" was a fallacy caused by a lack of understanding of magic power. However, the evidence discovered by Isabella will undoubtedly make this fallacy. The transition to reality has taken a big step forward.

"I have seen in the Church's Book of All Things that some rare plants can be connected with animals to form a strange symbiotic relationship." She continued, "Although it cannot be concluded that the sacred stone is a plant, at least it is not a dead thing. This way of thinking makes it easier to understand some of the devil's unique phenomena - such as the ever-growing obelisk, the giant monster seen at the bottom of the monument, etc. Perhaps they took advantage of this to build what they are today. ethnic system."

"So, the devil really likes to use stones..." Nightingale said thoughtfully.

"Unfortunately, my research level is still shallow. Most of them are only superficial speculations and cannot bring you any substantial help." Isabella lowered her head apologetically, "Not only has the reason for the fusion not yet been identified, , even the transformation of magic stones can only produce low-level magic stones such as glowing stones and screaming stones——"

"You underestimate your discovery too much." Roland interrupted, "Regardless of whether the guess that the 'fluctuation frequency' determines the effect is correct, just proving that witches can create magic stones through their abilities will be enough for your name to be recorded. Enter the annals of history.”

To say that I have no regrets would be to lie to myself. If the opponent can produce high-level magic stones, it also means that powerful talismans such as Infinity and Divine Will can be used in unlimited quantities, and the battle witch can also become a decisive force on the battlefield. However, he also knew that the exploration of magic power would inevitably be a long and tortuous process. Now Isabella had just opened the door and got a glimpse of it. As long as she can continue her research, given the average lifespan of a witch, the results will undoubtedly be worth looking forward to.

After Isabella resigned, Roland immediately spread out his pen and paper and drafted a telegram to be sent to the city hall.

The message is very simple, with only one sentence: Neverwinter City cannot afford to lose anything, and it will activate the emergency plan from now on and enter a state of general mobilization for war.

This plan will provide as many soldiers as possible to the front line as long as food is affordable - in addition to the expansion of the army, industrial production will also be tilted towards arms manufacturing, and living supplies will be limited.

Although as early as the beginning of the War of Divine Will, he ordered the general manager Barov to formulate a corresponding mobilization plan, it was not easy to implement it. First of all, in terms of administrative integrity, currently only the city of Neverwinter can adapt and adjust policies, personnel, and production. Implementation in other cities can easily turn into a forced conquest, causing the order that was finally restored to be restored again. paralysis.

Secondly, even if the First Army expands greatly, logistics will not be created out of thin air. Relying solely on sailing ships and livestock to transport supplies, it was almost impossible to conduct a cross-border battle involving 100,000 people in this era.

However, if the home court is in the Western Region, administrative and logistical restrictions no longer exist—Neverwinter is both the frontline of this defense war and the last bastion of mankind.

No matter what price they pay, they cannot take a step back, even if the enemy is the Tianhai Realm.

Because mankind has no retreat!

…

"Who's there?"

The Silent Lord, who was soaking in the mayfly pond, suddenly opened his eyes and looked into the lightless darkness on the opposite side.

Just now, it heard a slight noise.

If it were in a normal state, it would never ask any more questions. As long as it picked up the weapon and chopped it off, it would know the result. If an ascended body or original body dares to enter its resting place without permission, being split in half is the fate it deserves.

The reason why Silence did not act immediately was because the long-handled sword was not at hand - and it would only take off its armor and weapons when it was recovering from its injuries.

In the darkness, a figure slowly walked out.

"Don't do it...it's me."

It was slightly startled. Judging from the sound, the other party was the long-lost Lord of the Sky, Hykezord!

Silence suddenly stood up from the pool and put a piece of white cloth on his body, "Where have you been? Is it true that you escaped from the battle as the mask said?"

"Huh, I'm not surprised by what that deformed freak said. That's why I came to you alone." Hykezord slowly walked to the edge of the pool. Only then did Silence notice that the There was a big hole in the armor, and the internal wound was deep enough to show the bone. Although the bleeding had stopped, the injury was far from healed.

"You are hurt?"

With the ability of the Lord of the Sky, it is impossible to escape to such an extent.

"I didn't expect that one day I would be so embarrassed that I would need your care." Hykezord sneered and climbed into the mayfly pond with difficulty. "As for where I went, don't worry, you will know soon. But there Before that, I have to show you something.”

"What is it?"

"Concentrate, then stay relaxed and close your eyes..."

Hearing such a strange request, Silence was about to refuse, but looking at the other party's unquestionable expression, it suddenly realized something.

This is clearly preparation for entering the realm of consciousness!

It hesitated, and finally closed its eyes.

In an instant, an indescribable scene flooded into Silent's mind! In the strange scenes of light and land, scenes such as nameless secret messengers, white-clothed brethren, giant towers of light pillars, and bottomless sinkholes flashed successively. What finally appeared in front of us was a swarm of nests surrounded by claws...
