"Technology..." Roland frowned. He had seen in the memories of the demons how these aliens achieved advancement. They fused with more powerful Magic Stones to define their talents and abilities. If they succeeded, they would live. If they failed, they would die. In essence, there was not much difference between the abilities of the witches. They were all up to fate, and it was even crueler.
But technology was different. As long as they could master its rules, they could quickly expand and develop according to their needs. This was not a good sign for human beings.
"Are you sure?" Anna, who was the closest to Roland, was also aware of this.
"We still need to do further research on the remains, but..." She looked at Celine.
Celine nodded her main tentacles and led them to a black boulder covered with cracks. "This is a part of the giant skeleton. Based on the results of the current dissection, it is likely to be a living thing." "
"Well... it's not surprising that it's a living thing," Roland said while stroking his chin. After all, an officer had mentioned in the post-battle report that when the enemy's giant skeleton was hit by a cannonball, it let out a deafening howl. "This thing is equivalent to the armor of a deformed demon."
"No, Your Majesty," Celine said in a strange tone. "I mean... this stone is alive." "
"What?"
Everyone was slightly stunned and then took a step back in unison.
"Wait, you mean it's alive?"
"Is the stone also a kind of demon?"
"I don't... quite understand. Can you explain it in more detail?"
For a moment, the hall was filled with questions.
"Simply put, it has an independent system and can perform simple actions on its own." Celine rolled up a hammer and hit the broken part of the stone. With a "dang" sound, the stone trembled slightly. Through the gap, Roland could vaguely see something similar to a meridian wriggling inside. The trembling lasted for half a minute before it stopped. Obviously, it was not caused by the hammer.
"From the scene, we know that there is a huge tissue hanging under the giant skeleton's abdomen. We have always thought that it is the deformed demon's body. But the results of the dissection proved that the two are not the same thing. " Agatha continued, "After discovering this, Celine and I still couldn't understand it. Since the skeleton could move by itself, why did the deformed demon in its abdomen exist? It wasn't until I saw the Magic Slayer transforming his subordinates that I suddenly realized that they were very similar. "
Anna was the first to react. "Carrier?"
"That's right," Celine said approvingly. "Whether it's the original carrier or the devouring worm, they both have a distinct characteristic. That is, when there is no controller, they are still alive. "Your Majesty, do you remember what Kabradhabi said? 'Did you also get a piece of inheritance and upgrade your civilization?'" She turned to Roland and said, "Your Majesty, do you remember what Kabradhabi said?"
"There's another sentence after that." Roland nodded. When he heard the word 'upgrade' for the first time, he almost blurted out 'I'm Tadarin', so it left a deep impression on him. "Those weapons were also created based on the contents of the fragments? That's what it means. "
Tilly said thoughtfully, "Now it seems that Kabradhabi thought so because they had similar experiences and obtained the method of making carriers from the fragments. In other words, both the Spider Demon and the Giant Skeleton are actually the combination of two demons, one as the carrier and the other as the controller? "
"That's very likely. After all, the two have too many similarities. For example, the carriers have extraordinary vitality, can survive for a long time in dormancy, and won't die easily even if they are severely injured." "
"It's possible to attribute the legacy shard to the underground civilization, but don't the latter use soul instruments to control the carriers? The demons' method seems to be a little different... "
"Maybe... they didn't obtain the complete method of making the magic core, so they couldn't transform their bodies like the underground civilization," Agatha said. "Or maybe this method is more suitable for them. It's just like how the Union invented the God's Punishment Army transformation method when they didn't have enough carriers. In a sense, Scourge is a carrier. "
"Wait, this doesn't sound right." Nightingale said with a puzzled look, "Although I don't quite understand your reasoning, there is one thing I can be sure of. That is, humans have never received any inheritance. The weapons used by the First Army were all His Majesty's ideas, and the transformation of the God's Punishment Army was the result of the Union's research. In the end, we still mastered the method of using the magic core and took over the relics of the underground civilization, didn't we? "
"In fact, this is the key to the problem," Agatha said seriously. "I guess the relics of the gods are not the only way to obtain the legacy. That's why I call it technology instead of ability."
Roland suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. An indescribable feeling welled up in his heart. "You mean... learning?"
"Yes." The Ice Witch exhaled. "Through teaching and learning, even without devouring the relics of the gods, or the legacy shard, as Kabradhabi said, we can still obtain everything the civilization has accumulated. I think this is the essence of the 'legacy'."
There was a brief silence in the hall.
After a while, Celine's words resounded in everyone's mind again. "Considering that the demons have created so many new weapons of war in 400 years, maybe the function of the relics of the gods is to greatly shorten the long learning process, or even complete it in an instant. The evolution of the civilization is what they call 'upgrading'. "
Roland finally understood what was bothering him at this moment. Perhaps Kabradhabi was right. Human beings did obtain the legacy, but it was not by relying on the relics of a certain civilization. Instead, it was the oldest form of oral transmission. As a time traveler, Roland had invisibly connected the two worlds.
"If that's the case, doesn't that mean that the relic of the gods is recording everything about us at all times?" Wendy looked worriedly at the secret room at the side of the hall. That was where the relic was kept.
"Unless we can also get a fragment, no one will know the answer." Agatha shook her head. "But if the demons really have the carrier technology, we're likely to encounter more challenges that we've never seen before." She looked at Roland apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty... I'm afraid that the Union's hundreds of years of war experience won't be able to help you."
"It doesn't matter. For the demons, the third Battle of Divine Will will be a brand new experience." Roland comforted her. Although the future was uncertain, he had to maintain his confidence in front of everyone. "In addition, if the upgrade is only limited to the technology, it means that we can also learn what we need from the demons and even the civilizations that have lost the legacy shard, right?"
