Chapter 734: The Root of Disagreement

Underground... Civilization?

Roland couldn't help but think of the forks in the mine on the north slope, and the group of caves that Nightingale said ran through the Impassable Mountains... In his memory, there was no geological movement that could create such a strange landform. At first he thought it was caused by some mutated hybrid evil beasts, but now it seems that they are all traces left by the underground civilization?

"People at the time didn't realize this at all, and they didn't intend to communicate—the forms of the two were far apart, and we even regarded each other as a new kind of devil, so there was a huge gap left in the recorded history. It was not until the end of the second battle of divine will that there was a breakthrough.” Pasha’s voice was a little low, “At that time, only Taquila was left in the three holy cities, and the federation had reached the point of life and death. crucial moment."

"What do breakthrough discoveries mean?"

"The Quest Society figured out a way to store souls from the slate paintings they left behind, and verified this possibility on an unhatched original carrier. Since then, the three seats have started the research on the transformation of the God's Punishment Army."

"I don't know about it at all..." Agatha said in surprise.

"Soul transfer is the top secret of the federation. It is even two levels higher than the God's Punishment Army plan that uses witches as experimental materials. At that time, only the three seats and a few high-level officials knew about it." Pasha replied, "We are also in the It was only after the fall of Taquila that we learned this shocking news."

"So Natalya supported the God's Punishment Army plan at the beginning?" Roland frowned and asked, "What is the original carrier?"

"Because she has no choice. As for the latter...it is what we are now." Her tentacles drooped down, and her body got closer to the light curtain. "This ugly and weird body is evidence of the existence of underground civilization. It is also the only tombstone they have left. This is a very long story, Your Majesty, please listen to me tell it slowly.”

Roland nodded, poured himself a cup of chaos drink, and leaned back on the chair, feeling the consciousness constantly coming from the other party.

"According to the hints on the slate paintings, the vanished civilization left a city in the mountains of the Impassable. The Quest Society searched for a long time but found nothing. Later, I was shocked. Since the other party is used to living underground, will they also build the city underground? ?”

"After expanding the search area downwards, the witches finally found this magnificent city - it consists of four floors, nearly half the area of ​​Taquila, and each floor has countless forks and holes, so complicated It’s like a maze. If there is no witch who can sense the position as a guide, it will be difficult to get out once you fall into it. Therefore, the Quest Society also calls it the maze ruins.”

"It's a pity that Taquila fell into the hands of the devil before we could explore it carefully. Everyone had to start the journey of escape. After paying a heavy price, we finally arrived at the maze. According to the plan, the federation will take away the treasures stored in the maze. The original carrier, and then went to the Hermes Plateau, established a new holy city, and recast a new order in the barren land on the east coast of the mainland.”

"However, no one can predict what will happen next."

At this point in the story, Pasha fell silent, the scales on her body were dimmed, even if she couldn't see her expression, Roland could still feel the sadness in her heart.

After a while, she continued, "During the pause, the Quest found that the ruins of the labyrinth were quite well preserved, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a brand new city. In addition to the original carrier, there are many hidden treasures at the bottom of the ruins." Inconceivable secrets, the three most important of which are the magic power core and the records of Ming. We realized later that it wanted to lead us here as early as the first battle of divine will." Pasha took a deep breath He breathed a sigh of relief, "The ruins of the labyrinth are prepared for us."

"Why?" Tilly couldn't help asking.

"For revenge," another voice sounded in everyone's minds. Compared with Pasha, her tone was much colder, "It hopes that we can destroy the devils to avenge their genocide."

"This is just Master Natalya's conjecture. It is not mentioned in the literature." Pasha shook her head as she shook her head. "Maybe they just want to pass on their own civilization. In short , The Quest has found a lot of research materials about divine will and magic power from the leftover records—in order to let us know the details, most of the conclusions are expressed in the form of lithographs.”

"The description of the core of magic power is the source of the differences between the Queen of the Sun and the Queen of Meteor. The most important content in the painting is: magic power has infinite possibilities, and the process of chasing God's will is the ladder to master magic power."

Roland knew the key point, "What is the magic core? Is it related to the scourge instrument?"

"You can think of the core as a man-made magic cyclone. It is not limited to the witch itself, and can adjust its shape at any time. This incredible device has completely subverted the perception of the Federation." Pasha pointed with a tentacle The light curtain, "For example, the phantom instrument we use for dialogue now is a smaller magic power core. If necessary, it can also be converted into other instruments for use. As for the scourge instrument, it is the largest magic power core in the ruins .”

That's it... He immediately realized the superiority of this device. Compared with the innate and unchangeable ability of witches, the magic core can be called a universal terminal. And most importantly, its effective distance far exceeds the five-meter limit, whether it is used for production or combat, it is much stronger than a witch.

"However, this is only the most basic use of magic power, just like the original awakening and high-level promotion. The slate prophesied that when the development of magic power continues to deepen, one day, we will be no different from gods..." Pasha said disappointedly , as if she were speaking not of a grand event, but like a lost man who has lost his purpose.

Roland understood the point of this sentence.

"But you don't have time."

"You're right. We don't know whether it will take a hundred years or a thousand years. In order to get in touch with the core of magic power, several members of the Quest Society were sacrificed. Obviously, witches cannot directly touch these weird instruments. We want to solve the problem However, it was hard to find a way, and the exploration was at a deadlock for a while. The things that the board paintings can record are extremely limited. If you want to continue to study, you can only follow their hints and integrate with the central carrier—when there are enough people fused , it is possible to comprehend their texts, so as to further read those more esoteric documents and records.”

"But we ran out of time. It took more than three years just to figure this out. Many mortals who came out first began to try to get rid of our control. It is unknown how many witches the carrier needs to integrate. At that time, the resources were only enough Focus on one research. If this continues, the Federation's grand plan of recasting order will lose its foundation."

"The most important thing is that there is an irreconcilable conflict between Lord Acharis' God's Punishment Army plan and the ideas recorded in the literature. If you abandon the witch's body and become a God's Punishment Warrior, you will not only lose the possibility of promotion," Pasha said There is a pause here, "It is also equivalent to losing the mind forever." 8 For more exciting novels, welcome to visit our reading institute
