Chapter 640 Guessing the Dream

Isabella lowered her head slightly, waiting for the trial.

"You should be grateful for your ability—not that it's unique enough, but that it can't directly kill others. No matter how big a crime you commit, even if you assist Zero to attack me, you are just an accomplice." Roland's voice was clear And peace, "I don't have to kill you, but you must atone for everything you have done, just like other people who break the law."

For some reason, after hearing this sentence, she felt something drop in her heart—she wasn't afraid of death, but she couldn't say she liked death either.

"As long as you can defeat the devil, I am willing to give you everything."

"The devil is the enemy of all mankind. Of course I will fight them to the bottom of my heart - but unlike the way of the church, I will not win the battle of God's will at the cost of destroying human potential, and you have to change when you are in the church. habits." Roland said slowly, "There will be no more pure ones in the future, and from today onwards, you are a redemption witch."

Zero was completely wrong. Not only did he already know about the existence of the devil and the Federation, but he was also ready for the battle of divine will. It is true that he is a mortal, and he may pass away in decades, and his faith will also collapse with aging, but now, you have given him endless life, and the last difficulty has been overcome, and the darling of the gods is born here .

Thinking of this, Isabella dragged her anklet and knelt down, her hair covering the ground, "I obey, master."

After she stood up again, Roland said, "This is not the holy city of Hermes, so you are not my servant, but a sinner. Of course, I will not send you to the mine to dig For twenty years, all you have to do is to cooperate with Agatha in magic research."

She was stunned, did she just do this for him?

"During this period, I will ask Wendy to arrange a new residence for you. The atonement period is five years, and you can be unshackled, but you only have "limited freedom"—in other words, except for the residence and Agatha's mage Tower, if you want to go to other places, you must act under the supervision of the Witch Union. "

"Yes, I see."

"By the way, are you sure there are no other witches in the holy city?" Roland asked.

This question has been answered several times since she was captured. Isabella thought about it, and finally shook her head, "For this decisive battle, Zero transformed all the useless newborn witches into God's Punishment Army, and the useful Yes, basically all of them were sent to the battlefield. There are still a large number of women in the monastery, but before the evil moon, the chances of them transforming into witches are not high. Vanilla, Maggie and I should be the only three people left in the church."

He didn't speak any more, turned around and walked out of the house, and the golden witch came forward and opened her shackles.

Isabella looked at her free hands in disbelief. Is this the final result of the trial? Did he mean what he said without being held, played, or worse treated?

"Your Majesty," she suddenly called out to him, "I wonder if Vanilla and Maggie are now..."

"It's better than your situation," Roland said back, "They were just influenced by the distorted education in the monastery, and they are still far away from madness. If they can be corrected, the two of them may one day join the Witch Union .”

As the three left, the door creaked shut.

Is that so... Isabella was completely relaxed. She lay down on the plank bed, feeling the sunlight coming in from the window. Despite the glare of the light, she narrowed her eyes and stared at the blue sky outside the iron railing.

What a fine day, she thought.

"Your punishment is too light," Nightingale said dissatisfied when she returned to her office, "She almost killed you."

"It's Zero, not her." Roland handed her a piece of dried fish.

The latter took it with his mouth, and said vaguely, "It was also caused by her, otherwise the soul battlefield would not be able to invade your body at all."

"But she really wants to fight against the devil from the bottom of her heart, right?" He said disapprovingly, "Neither committed an unforgivable crime, nor have I been physically harmed, so let's deal with it like this, and it can be bought by thousands of dollars." bone, to reveal the role of future generations."

"A thousand golden dragons... what?"

"Uh...that means propaganda," Roland coughed twice, "With her as an example, more people can understand that as long as the bottom line is not violated, there is still a chance of redemption. After all, the devil is our ultimate In order to add a bargaining chip in the battle of divine will, it is the best choice to let her commit crimes and make meritorious deeds."

"Okay," Nightingale pouted, "I'll watch her for you."

Roland walked to the French windows, still thinking about what Isabella said.

"Zero's memory is divided into two types, one is chaotic and has residual consciousness, which will affect her, and the other is complete and placed there, allowing her to look at it freely - the former recalls It's harder and easier to forget..."

Could this be the reason why Zero repeatedly persuaded herself to surrender during the battle of souls?

The loser who decides to surrender will dedicate all her memories without any side effects—this is how she can explain her stopping at a critical moment.

Zero hoped that she would give up resistance in order to obtain complete memory details.

This guess is somewhat similar to his experience of occupying the fourth prince's body.

To be exact, this is the case with the memory of the fourth prince. You can check it at any time when you want to go back, just like a well-organized filing cabinet-he doesn't need to spend time recording them, and when he doesn't look at them, he just throws them into the back of his mind. nothing. Even if I read it again after more than a year, this part of the memory is still intact.

And the fourth prince was killed by a dark chess game arranged by Garcia. If the deceased had no will, it seems reasonable to regard the loser as a surrender.

What about a determined rebel?

According to Isabella's description, this part of memory has residual will attached to it, which will change Zero herself—thoughts, character, and even philosophy. After she devoured thousands of people, she has already become a complex aggregate, which is far from the original her, or in other words, she cannot be regarded as the same person at all.

So her way of revenge is likely to inject all these wills into her own mind.

Of course she would be torn apart because of this, but Roland was no longer Roland.

In the chaotic memory storm, various wills will fight for dominance again, and she may have a slight chance to make a comeback.

However, what Zero didn't expect was that he was not from this era.

In terms of the depth and breadth of information reception, the amount absorbed by modern people in almost one day is equivalent to several months or even years in ancient times. In the era of information explosion, he is reading and memorizing almost all the time, keeping the useful and discarding the meaningless, which has become an instinct of consciousness.

The result is that all memory fragments are absorbed and reorganized by the "dream", forming a seemingly strange new world.

However, he has no way to verify these guesses.

Zero lost everything she swallowed, as well as her original memory. She turned into a pure and flawless newborn and reappeared in the dream.
