"This..." The ancient witches looked at each other.
Finally, Pasha said, "We can't rule out this possibility." "
"Let me ask you a question first. How did you find the God's Stone of Retaliation veins in the past?" Roland asked.
"The method we used a thousand years ago is untraceable, but I think we probably relied on luck," Celine replied. "After the Union came into being, the Quest Society was also established. Searching for the God's Stone of Retaliation veins was one of our main tasks. "
Roland could not help but think of the triangular positioning map that marked Taquila, the Misty Forest, and the North Slope Mountain Mine. It was through this map that Lightning found Agatha in the ice. The buried ancient history was also connected to the present world at that moment.
"Because the God's Stone of Retaliation has a strong shielding effect, we used this feature to carry out the search. Six or seven hundred years ago, witches like Sylvie, Nightingale, Lightning, and Isabella could all become explorers. During peacetime, as many as 100 witches searched and found six veins, three of which were suitable for building large cities, "Celine continued. "Later, we came into contact with the magic technology of the underground civilization and began to search with the magic core. As long as we modulated the core ability appropriately, we could sense within a range of about 100 kilometers. The southern end of the Misty Forest and the Hermes Plateau were the two results. Unfortunately, by then, the Bloody Moon had arrived and the demons had destroyed everything we had accumulated. "
"So, exploring the ridge area is really not very meaningful for the Union," Roland said slowly. "Ordinary people can't enter, and witches can't take care of everything. However, it should be very inconvenient for the demons to erect an Obelisk in this place."
"That's right." Edith nodded. "At least, it's unlikely that all the demons will be mobilized. But if he wanted to replace Taquila to a certain extent and achieve the goal of eradicating the human race, this was the only place he could choose. In addition, how many troops the demons can station in the mountains depends on how long they have been preparing. If the "Western Front Plan" mentioned by Ösrook included many preparations from the beginning... "
"That was at least half a year ago," Iron Axe said in a low voice. "Your Majesty!"
"I understand." Roland looked at everyone. Regardless of whether the Pearl of the Northern Region's speculation was correct or not, this was information that needed to be confirmed. After all, this matter involved the other three kingdoms, as well as the strategic direction for the next hundred years. If the enemy really intended to invade the human territory from the ridge of the continent, and Neverwinter had invested a large amount of resources in the construction of the defensive line on the Fertile Plains, it would undoubtedly be a disaster from which no one could recover. "Now listen to my command!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The witches and the higher-ups of Neverwinter answered in unison.
"Vendy, inform Lightning and Maggie who are still at the frontline to return to Neverwinter as soon as possible."
"Understood, I'll go now."
"Iron Axe, the migration should be carried out as soon as possible. There's no harm in doing it thoroughly."
"Understood!"
"Finally, I need Taquila to provide me with a magic core," he said to Pasha. "Considering that aerial reconnaissance may miss some information, I need your help to eliminate the hidden danger completely."
"At your service, Your Majesty."
Celine called out to Roland just as everyone was about to leave.
"I have something to show you."
Following the man to the underground laboratory, he was surprised to see that the table in the lead chamber was filled with four yellow stones that looked similar to the Magic Ceremony Cube.
"You've assembled four Rubik's Cubes?"
He couldn't wait to step forward and pick up a stone to play with. Compared to the sample found in the Cursed Temple, the replica Rubik's Cube was sharper, and the lines were more distinct. It had a brand new vibe to it.
"Yes, but their properties are slightly different. I think it might have something to do with the raw materials. Maybe the radioactive race added something else to the materials when they made the samples. However, this difference won't affect its usage. I've already tested it on chickens. "
"It's good to have a difference," Roland mourned for the chicken in his heart for a second. "After all, boiling water requires endurance, not lethality. You can continue your research in this direction."
[No problem. Do you still need these trial products? "
"Of course! This is the dawn of a new energy source! " Roland praised generously. "The success of the replica Rubik's Cube is unparalleled. Your achievement alone will be remembered by future generations!"
The next step was to design a device to convert the heat released by the Rubik's Cube into kinetic energy. If he could succeed in this step, the industry of Neverwinter would usher in a new wave of revolution!
Thinking of this, Roland looked at Celine's bloated body with regret. "You should have been on the platform in the Central Square, receiving the cheers and congratulations of the people, and your name should have been on the list of outstanding contributions to Neverwinter …"
"There's nothing to be sorry about, Your Majesty. I made up my mind the day I decided to become the original carrier." Celine smiled. "It's just my job. Besides, you've fulfilled my wish in the Dream World. "
…
Soon, Roland's order was translated into the will of the kingdom, which radiated from Neverwinter to the rest of the country.
At the top of the castle, more than ten birds would soar into the sky every day and fly to the northeast with secret letters. Every port and every fleet would contribute their strength to the great migration.
The First Army would take paddle steamers to the Port of Clearwater, Seawindshire, and other port towns in batches. There, they would transfer to seagoing ships and set off for the north.
Even though the specific plan had not been formulated at the moment, and some of the junior officers did not even know what they were going to do, but with just a single order, they led the soldiers who had just finished their vacation to regroup and set off on a journey to a foreign country.
In the City of Glow in the Kingdom of Dawn.
After receiving the secret letter from Hill Fawkes, Horford Quinn immediately summoned his son and said, "Go to Seaside Bay and Dragon Castle immediately and ask the local lords to provide supplies to all the ships passing by Graycastle. Also, at least one dock will be empty for their exclusive use. The royal family will pay for all the expenses!"
"Father, are you sure?" Horn frowned. "This is a lot of money! And setting up a dedicated dock will affect the loading and unloading of other merchant ships … "
"That's enough!" Horford interrupted his son. "Just do as I say!"
The latter bit his lip and finally bowed his head. "Yes, father."
When he walked to the door, he asked reluctantly, "At least tell me what Graycastle wants to do, right?"
However, there was only silence behind him.
Horford did not breathe a sigh of relief until the door was closed.
He got up, walked to the window, and looked in the direction of the neighboring country. "The world order … is going to change."
At the same time, in the underground karst area on the outskirts of the City of Glow.
Banach Lothar sat in his wheelchair and looked coldly at the 200 or so Silencers and the 20 masked Managers. This was the power he had accumulated for decades, and it was also the foundation of his foothold in the Black Money Chamber of Commerce.
"Over the years, we have bet a lot on the forces in the Kingdom of Wolfheart and the Kingdom of Everwinter. Now it's time to reap the benefits." After staring for a long time, Banach said in a hoarse voice, "According to reliable information, Graycastle's troops will soon enter the territories of these two kingdoms. No matter what they want to do, your task is to provide as much help as possible — money, food, information. Whatever they need, Black Money must do its best to satisfy them. Do you understand?"
"Yes, sir!"
"Very good. Go."
Without any hesitation, everyone bowed and quickly disappeared into the cave that extended in all directions.
Banach took out an empty bottle from his pocket. This was the fifth bottle of potion they had sent to him since he killed Appen Moya for the Oracle.
"One more bottle … One more bottle, and God will accept me into the Immortal Realm!"
He murmured in his heart as he clenched the bottle with trembling hands.
