Chapter 732: The Ideal Beginning

When Phyllis told the news, the hall suddenly erupted. ?

"How can a mortal contact a god?" Elsa's voice was full of shock and disbelief, "You must have read it wrong!"

"Are you sure that the beam of light really came from him? Have you checked all the witches in the western region of Graycastle?" Celine pointed to the crux of the problem.

These two questions are obviously also on the minds of most people.

"I have confirmed it with my own eyes, and his key is much more complicated than what Pasha requested, and the multicolored magic stone can no longer accommodate the gable-like orange light," Phyllis said slowly, "I couldn't believe it at first. , but...the fact is true.”

"Then does he have magic power?" Pasha asked with the last glimmer of hope.

"Unfortunately, he was unable to activate the scourge device."

Phyllis's answer made everyone's expressions darkened. It was a surprise that they found the Chosen One with the complex key so quickly, but this surprise was too big. No one could have expected such a situation to happen-the magic power would be separated from the key, this discovery simply subverted their previous ideas.

If you don’t have magic power, you can’t connect to the core, even if you rely on witches to transfer it—mortals’ physique can’t withstand the damage caused by this kind of extraordinary power, even if extremely strong people can last for a quarter of an hour, they still can’t master the use of magic power This point has been fully verified in the Taquila era.

And what worries Pasha even more is that she originally thought that a high-level witch would have a high chance of becoming the chosen one. In the era when the federation ruled the Fertile Plain, she could easily find a dozen candidates who met the requirements. But the news that Phyllis brought back completely shattered this idea - in the small city of Neverwinter, there are actually more than a dozen high-level promotions!

Such an astonishing number means that the Witch Union is not weaker than some core organizations of the Federation, such as the Quest Society and the Holy Blessed Army, and there are only so many high-level existences. But even so, Phyllis failed to find another chosen one.

"Destroying the devil was within reach, but the opportunity was missed only because the relics appeared too late" and "They have never actually approached the goal at all, and the plan of the Chosen One is wishful thinking from beginning to end", the feelings of the two are quite different. If so many high-level witches are unable to meet the requirements of the Chosen One, is it really right for them to follow Lord Natalya and resolutely resist the Starfall Queen's God's Punishment Army plan?

Just thinking about this thought made Pasha shudder. She shook her head, suppressed the rush of thoughts, and asked, "You just said that the mortal king wanted to cooperate with us?"

"He wants to understand us, and he is willing to join forces to fight against the devil," Phyllis said, "but we have to talk about the specific requirements."

"You think he has the ability to fight the devil?"

"I'm not sure... the weapons he displayed are indeed amazingly powerful, but I still know too little," Phyllis hesitated for a moment, "but Agatha has a certain degree of confidence in this, she thinks that as long as you give Neverwinter In two or three years, it is not impossible to keep the devils west of the Impassable Mountains."

"How does she view our relationship with Neverwinter?" Elsa asked in a deep voice.

"Agasha thinks she is a Taquila witch, but she will serve Roland Wimbledon—that is, the mortal king," Phyllis paused, and spoke out the idea of ​​the new federation "She believes that the most urgent task at present is to defeat the devil. All forces on the mainland should unite and fight for the third battle of divine will."

"Working for mortals? Is she crazy?" Elsa yelled loudly, "Has she forgotten how we lost to the devil in the first battle of God's will?"

There were also noisy discussions among the crowd. Almost all members of the federation had to learn from that period of history. There may be outstanding extraordinary people among ordinary people, but as a whole, their performance is really hard to talk about.

For example, open the city gate to surrender to the devil, and then be killed completely, or the witch army rushed thousands of miles to help, but was rejected by the lord, and watched the reinforcements being strangled by the devil bit by bit... There are countless cases of running away. Sometimes a huge army of 20,000 to 30,000 people is not as effective as a witch's elite squad of about 100 people, and there are even vicious incidents in some places where mortals use God's Stone of Retaliation against witches, which intensifies the breakdown of cooperation between the two parties.

If it weren't for this, humans would not have retreated from the great dawn to the Fertile Plain.

With such a poor performance, coupled with the lack of food and resources, it is only logical that the mortal regime was completely replaced by witches.

Looking at Elsa, who was waving her tentacles all over her body to show her dissatisfaction, Pasha had the same worry in her heart. Judging from Phyllis' description, King Roland Wimbledon of Graycastle may be an outstanding Extraordinary, but it is difficult for one person to change the entire group of mortals. If other kingdoms make stupid and low-level mistakes, then he will Which side are you on? If the war lasts for 20 or 30 years, will he still be as determined and full of vitality as he was when he was young?

Not everyone is willing to possess an empty body and lose all perception in order to prolong life. Even if he agrees, forty or fifty years later, what about his descendants? Would you be willing to be the heir for the rest of your life?

These are all issues that Pasha needs to consider.

Generally speaking, as long as the devil can be defeated, any price is allowed-whether it is Akaris or Natalya, they all firmly believe in one truth: human beings are immortal, witches are endless, and one day, they will surely Back to the top. This is determined by the essential difference between the favored ones and mortals.

What she was worried about was that she had paid the price and still suffered a crushing defeat. After all, they have no chance to try again.

"Let's talk to Roland first," Celine pressed the aggrieved Elsa with her beard, "I have dealt with Agatha during the Quest meeting. Although she sympathizes with mortals, she doesn't get angry Besides, we originally planned to communicate with the secular kingdom, and now we have a mortal king who does not discriminate against witches and is ready to meet the battle of divine will in advance, isn't it an ideal start for us?"

"I agree, it's impossible for us alone to stop the devil."

"With the help of mortal publicity, we can also expand our influence in the witch organization."

"And he's still helping to recruit witches...so Phyllis has a better chance of finding the second Chosen One."

"I'm really curious about those gunpowder weapons. If we hold them in our hands, will killing devils be as clean as slaughtering evil beasts?"

The God's Punishment witches said in a hurry.

Celine was right, Pasha sighed, no matter whether they accept the "New Federation" or not, they must reconnect with mortals, and an enlightened monarch like Roland is already the most suitable negotiation partner. As for how to go in the future, we can only decide after talking about it—probably the other party also has the same idea?

Thinking of this, she tapped her tentacles towards Phyllis, "I see, please let His Majesty Roland Wimbledon tell you this."
