Chapter 816 "Deep Sea Devil"
God's Punishment Witch can enter the dream world by interrupting consciousness, so as to obtain a complete body and feelings. This is well known to the survivors who are still in the third border city. Roland heard Phyllis say more than once that whenever she returned to the ground, she would be surrounded and questioned by her fellow guards. The content was basically all about the experience in the dream, and her eagerness was palpable.
Now that there are other ways to restore perception, will they voluntarily fuse their souls with the carrier as before?
Of course, the latter is not without advantages, at least the dream world can only be experienced when he sleeps, but the feeling of the carrier exists from the beginning to the end, and if the body is not damaged, it can almost be regarded as immortal.
It may not be that easy to decide between the two.
However, the other party still has a choice, that is to hide the news of the dream world first, carry out the transformation after transporting the equipment, even if they are reluctant afterwards, there is no way to go back on their word. It's just that Roland thinks that Pasha and the others will not adopt this deceitful approach. After more than a month of getting along with each other, he found that although these people have been isolated from the world for hundreds of years, they have not become an old-fashioned organization. Having a proactive attitude towards new things has indeed achieved the elimination of class between each other. Obviously, the sacrifice of the three members of the federation touched them greatly, and the threat of the devil forced them to keep moving forward.
"You don't need to worry about this," Pasha seemed to see his thoughts, "more carriers are beneficial to defeating the devil - the original carrier can operate the magic power core, devouring worms can speed up the defense line, as long as it is conducive to the battle of divine will , they will not have any hesitation. In fact, the witches participating in the transformation will go to the Daxue Mountain with the instrument."
Volunteers who are not afraid of any cost... Roland pursed his lips, "It seems that I am really worrying too much. When the exploration is completed, I will send a fleet to deliver the transformation equipment."
"Thank you for your help," she smiled.
Roland nodded, and spread out the pictures drawn by Soraya on the table, "The information sent back before was just text clues, and these pictures were sent to me today-they can be regarded as a true reproduction of the scene, I don't know you What do you think of this monster?"
"Please wait a moment." Pasha waved her tentacles, and called Celine and Elsa who were repairing the God's Scourge not far away, and the three sarcoids came together in front of the light curtain, looking at the vivid "continuous shooting" photo".
This time, the silence was unexpectedly long. They connected their tentacles and communicated with each other. In addition, the sarcoma itself did not show any expression, and Roland even had the illusion that they had disconnected.
After a while, Pasha's voice re-emerged in his mind, "I've kept you waiting for a long time, because some pictures surprised us, so we had to confirm it again and again."
"It's neither an evil beast nor a devil, right?"
"That's right," Celine continued, "and the skeleton that fell into the water once appeared in the realm of the gods described by Lord Natalya."
"Are you sure?"
"We have stayed underground for hundreds of years, but we are not so demented that we forget such important news—the memory capacity of the carrier is actually far better than that of humans." Elsa said in a bad mood, "Master Natalya once The sea and the skeleton have been seen in the three scrolls, and judging from the description, they are very close to the scene on the picture. Adding that the lake leads to the sea, this judgment is even more credible.”
"So, now we can be sure that it does belong to that civilization that has never shown up?" Roland asked while rubbing his chin. He was not surprised by this result - after discovering that the devouring worms would not let go of even the devil's camp, there were only two possibilities for the forces behind it, either a neutral person who disliked everyone, or God's will The last side of the battle. In addition to helping the Taquila remnants, the project to explore the snow mountain is also an operation to eliminate threats and find out the details of the opponent.
In addition, he had also read similar records in Zero's memory fragments, but the descriptions were very vague. Now that the Taquila Witch confirmed it, he could almost confirm the monster's true identity.
"It's very possible, but..." Pasha hesitated before continuing, "There are still many puzzles, such as - evil beasts."
"This group of wild beasts all over the Dawn Realm should be mutated by the erosion of magic power, just like a witch who got magic power, but why did they follow the instructions of this monster? This is different from the devil's forced enslavement of the mixed species, but more like an order the relationship between the one who obeys and the one who obeys.”
Roland has also thought about this issue. If evil beasts are considered part of that civilization, it is also difficult to explain why they don't accumulate mixed species, and then flatten humans and devils in one go. But any ethnic group with a bit of wisdom will not let their power be wasted in the evil moon every year.
Perhaps the origin of these deformed beasts is not as simple as they imagined.
"We will always know the answer when the battle of divine will begins," Roland shrugged, pretending to be relaxed. "It would be great if they are also relatives of monsters. In this way, when we defeat all our opponents, even the demons When the moon comes, there will be no such ugly creatures on the vast snowfield."
"... That's true," Pasha was startled first, then chuckled, "You can see it clearly. Indeed, no matter how they were born, as long as they appear in the battle of divine will, they are what we must defeat enemy."
The following discussion focused on how to block the underground river of the ruins and build a desperate line of defense. When the meeting was about to end, Roland suddenly thought of a key issue.
"By the way, since we have caught the tail of the hidden civilization, we must give them a name," he cleared his throat, "just like the civilization in the first picture scroll was called a devil."
"Is this important?" Pasha asked, tilting her beard. "The devil is just the most widely known name. In the federation, some people also call it a blood beast, a deformed devil, or a polluter."
"Of course, a suitable name is very important for propaganda and mobilization. The more evil it appears, the more it will arouse people's confrontational psychology."
"Then... what do you think it should be called?"
"Well, since they are potential enemies and have been waiting in the sea for a long time, how about calling each other sea monsters?"
"..."
The audience suddenly fell silent.
"Uh... isn't it good?"
"I thought the name Third Frontier City was bad enough, but I didn't expect it to be worse," Erza sneered, "Sea monster? It sounds like a giant octopus. .”
"Elza!" Pasha patted the former's head with her main beard, "Your Majesty, as long as you think it's okay... I think... there is no problem."
Although that's what he said, why did the other party speak so reluctantly? Roland took a sip of tea from his cup to cover up the awkward atmosphere at the scene.
"Ahem," the scroll who was making notes suddenly coughed twice, "Your Majesty, why don't you call me the Deep Sea Devil."
"The deep sea... devil?" he repeated.
"Yes, the concept of the word devil has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. We don't need to describe it too much, and everyone can understand what it represents. This will help the promotion of the city hall's propaganda work, and the public will not feel that they have to face it at the same time. Multiple enemies." Scroll explained while holding a quill.
"It seems to be a little better..." Roland curled his lips unwillingly, "Then do as you said."
Thus, the second picture scroll civilization has an official external name.
