Release that Witch - Chapter 1081
[Chapter 1059 Mystery and War]
Two weeks after receiving Xiao En’s urgent report, the sun once again appeared in the western region of Graycastle.
The Moon of Demons ended without warning.
This is probably the most peaceful evil moon in hundreds of years. There are no evil beasts and guns roaring. The snow field outside the city wall looks empty and flat. mirror surface.
Therefore, this year’s Victory Day was extraordinarily lively.
Many residents went into the field before the snow melted, dug out a ball from the knee-deep snow, brought it home, boiled it and drank it, which was not only for celebration, but also a kind of commemoration.
Only a very small number of people know the undercurrent surging under the calm.
The third frontier city, the Book Collection Grotto.
Roland got the expected reply.
“There is no record of this in any document, not even the documents left by the underground civilization.” Celine leaned tiredly against the corner of the wall, surrounded by piles of open ancient books, “And the first record about the extreme south, It was about eight hundred and sixty years ago. It was a travelogue, probably written by a certain witch who could move easily, and the description is only a few sentences, but it can be confirmed that the Endless Cape was already a desert at that time.”
It was the first time he had seen “Sarcomas” look so tired—the three high-ranking witches seldom sat down, and usually hung from the dome by their main beards, and the thin beards on their bodies were always dancing.
But now, the opponent’s tentacles were all hanging down, covering the surface like fur. At first glance, it looked a bit like a carrot that had just been pulled out of the soil.
“Perhaps it’s time for you to rest for a while.”
“I think so too, but my body can’t stop at all,” Celine smiled wryly, “Your discovery is really amazing, it can be said to have subverted the federation—no, it’s the entire history of human beings since it was recorded!”
This is also the reason why Roland had expected the answer a long time ago – if there were relevant discoveries in the era of the Federation, it is impossible not to leave a few words behind.
After all, it involves the battle of divine will. Even if it needs to be kept secret, at least the entire high-level should not be ignorant.
The ethnic groups in the murals may be even older than he imagined. Eight hundred and sixty years is just a clear record of evidence, and it does not mean that the extreme south was full of vitality before that.
From this point of view, the myths “Messenger of the Three Gods” and “The Millennium War” spread by the Mojin folks are a little more credible.
At that time, the first battle of divine will had not yet begun.
“Your Majesty, I’m not afraid of your jokes,” she sighed, “We have clearly taken a big step forward in cognition, but why do I feel so confused? It seems like something is missing.”
“This is just a normal phenomenon,” Roland said in relief. “The more you know, the more you will realize that you don’t know anything. In the end, all doubts can be attributed to three questions.”
“Oh? Which three are they?” Pasha asked curiously.
“Where am I, who am I hitting, who is hitting me.”
“…” There was silence in the sea of consciousness.
“Ahem, well, I just want you to relax,” Roland coughed twice, “The real answer should be who I am, where I come from, and where I’m going.”
“Where do I come from… where do I want to go…” Pasha murmured again, “It is true that these three questions seem very simple, but if you think about it carefully, it is not so easy to answer. Depending on where you are, there will be a completely different answer.”
“Heh, are you confused by looking up books too?” Erxia couldn’t help interjecting, “There’s nothing wrong with this, I’m Erxia, I’m from Taquila, and I’m going back to Taquila in the future— —Isn’t that all right? I think you were just bluffed by him.”
“That’s why I sometimes envy you,” Celine put the main whiskers on top of her head feebly, “Simple mind is sometimes a kind of happiness.”
Pasha shook her head amusedly, “Thank you, this really made us feel a lot easier. But your reaction really surprised me, not only was you calm and composed, but you also considered our thoughts, as if you didn’t care about this matter at all. It’s no surprise.”
Because this world itself is full of uncertainties for me… Roland smiled noncommittally, and changed the subject, “Since the existence of the completely unknown Battle of God’s Will and the existence of the new race has been confirmed, let’s hold a meeting next. Let’s discuss—the sooner everyone knows about such important news, the better.”
“As you wish, Your Majesty.” Pasha bent down and replied.
…
The internal meeting was soon held in the castle reception room, and its secrecy was classified as top secret. The participants were all representatives of the various forces on the united front, and even the head of the administrative department was not invited.
After Roland announced this unexpected discovery, everyone showed expressions of disbelief, and he also gave a rare ten-minute buffer time so that everyone could chat freely.
The battle of divine will is not a fate unique to human beings, but it may be a “special” normal state, which is beyond everyone’s imagination.
If it wasn’t for him to say these words, I’m afraid few people would believe them.
After the hall gradually became quiet, Tilly was the first to stand up, “If this is really a battle of divine will, what about the winner? It’s not devils, sea monsters, underground civilizations, let alone humans… Where are they now?”
This is the first question most people ask.
Roland looked at Pasha behind the light curtain, who nodded, “I don’t know if you still remember, in the records of the underground civilization, there are these two sentences – magic power makes us extraordinary, and mastering magic power is the ladder to pursue God’s will. We might as well assume that all participants in the battle of divine will can use magic power, then will the winner raise the power of magic power to a new stage, and thus go to places we cannot see? For example… …the heavenly world.”
This is also the speculation made by the three high-ranking witches. Although Roland feels that there are many loopholes, it is better than a simple “don’t know”.
After all, ignorance means nothingness-according to common sense, the stronger a civilization is, the longer its footprints will last.
The ancients used thatch and mud to build houses, and it took a thousand years to weather them into dust, while the concrete buildings in Neverwinter could still leave their outlines even after a thousand years.
A civilization that could win the Battle of Divine Will, but disappeared after the war, and its existence can only be known from scattered ruins, undoubtedly makes people think in a bad direction.
If winning can’t reverse the fate of extinction, I’m afraid it will hit everyone’s determination for war.
And Taquila’s speculation can at least set a goal.
“So the content recorded on the murals is at least 1,400 years ago?” Edith pondered for a while, “Then what humans have experienced cannot be called the first battle of divine will.”
“Having said that, changing the name is easy to confuse people,” Roland replied, “so I tentatively named it “Lost War”. As for how many times we are, it is not the point.
”
“Your Majesty,” Barov hesitated, “The expedition plan that is scheduled to be carried out after the beginning of spring—”
“According to the predetermined plan,” he interrupted without hesitation, “even if there are many unsolved mysteries in the battle of divine will, we must move forward! Perhaps the war itself is a way to get us closer to the answer, and If you lose to the devil, then there is no hope.”
Roland paused, scanned the entire hall, and said word by word, “This time, we will completely sweep the devil out of the Fertile Plain, this is not only to win a broad space for the development of Neverwinter City, but also to lay the foundation for the final victory! ”
