How many of them were there? What was their purpose? Were they all Awakened with the Force of Nature? What would the other world be like?
Fei Yuhan had no idea.
But for now, they were not enemies. Roland's battle against the Fallen Evils was real. He was indeed fighting against the Erosion.
The previous joint operation was proof. Fei Yuhan would never forget what she heard before she fainted. What did he mean by "Your Majesty, I knocked everyone unconscious"? Furthermore, Roland had deliberately avoided her gaze many times. What was the difference between this and the fact that there was nothing to hide?
In other words, if the hunter really harbored some unspeakable evil intentions, she would not have been able to survive until now. After destroying the corrupted magic creature, the hunter would have the opportunity to kill her as well. As long as she pushed the blame to the enemy, no one would suspect anything.
Therefore, Fei Yuhan felt that this was a gesture of goodwill.
Apart from the lack of concrete evidence, the other party's goodwill was also the reason why she did not immediately report this to the higher-ups of the Association.
Be it Roland or Valkries, they had both chosen to hide their true origins. Although she did not know the reason, since they hoped so, there was no harm in maintaining this "tacit understanding" for a while longer and allowing her to observe for a while longer.
Her phone rang.
"… Yes, I understand."
Fei Yuhan hung up the phone and nodded at Valkries. "Mr. Rock is looking for me. I won't be able to accompany you today."
"It's okay, business is more important."
"See you tomorrow."
"By the way …" Just as she reached the door, Valkries called out to her. "Captain, can you bring me some books related to technological development tomorrow?"
"You mean something like an encyclopedia?" Fei Yuhan thought for a while. "It should be fine. But there are many types of such books. I'm not sure if I can find the one you want. "
"It's okay, any type is fine," the other party said happily. "Thank you."
"It's nothing."
After the door closed, Fei Yuhan's expression returned to normal.
As expected, she was not a simple history buff.
She was trying her best to understand this new world.
…
Valkries looked at the closed door and sighed.
It knew that it was being too impatient, but it had no better choice. This human named Fei Yuhan was its only source of information about the outside world. If it were to take things slowly, this month would be wasted on the sickbed.
If Hackzord's plan went smoothly, the Western Front Army would have already expanded their frontline into human territory. This was the time when he needed manpower. His "disappearance" would definitely infuriate the Sky Lord.
To be honest, Valkries was feeling rather conflicted. On one hand, it hoped that Hackzord would wake it up from the Red Mist Pond at all costs, even if it would lose most of its memories in the Realm of Mind and might even cause irreversible damage to its brain. On the other hand, it was unwilling to give up on the clues it had obtained so far.
The reason for the former was simple. The more it probed, the more uneasy it felt. It would be easier to forget about it. Regardless of what secrets Roland was harboring, as long as it obtained the legacy shard in the real world, the humans would not be able to cause any more trouble. Everything they possessed would be passed down to the race in the form of inheritance. This secret was no exception.
The latter was due to "Transformer" Heathtalese's warning — even if they won the Battle of Divine Will, they would not be able to bring the race to the divine domain. As a teacher's last words, it was like a seed that was deeply rooted in the Nightmare Lord's heart. If victory could not allow the race to continue, then what was the right way to do it? Would the answer lie in this strange and inconceivable Realm of Mind?
Of course, these were all reasons on the surface.
It also had a thought that it could not say or was even willing to admit.
During this period of time, it felt as though it had returned to the days when it was studying in the Cloud School. Not only was it able to come into contact with new knowledge every day, it also allowed it to see a future that was completely different from reality.
Valkries took out a sealed box of pastries from the bag at the top of the book.
It had an exquisite, flower-printed packaging and looked exactly the same as human food. The different colors represented different flavors, and when it was opened, it could smell an alluring aroma.
It was a delicacy that it had never imagined.
Eating was an act of the lower class in the race. Only Hybrid Demons and Primal Demons needed to eat with their mouths. Ordinary blood food could only provide very little energy and was very difficult to digest. Therefore, the most common method was to put the food in a place where there were a lot of Red Mayflies to dry and soften it before eating. This process was very similar to how humans baked, except that they used fire.
Of course, the processed food could only fill one's stomach at most. Ever since it became a promoted person and could directly absorb nutrients from the Red Mayflies, Valkries had never eaten food again.
Some of its people had even extended the concept of eating to other races … such as humans.
After all, even witches could not live without three meals a day.
It used to think so, but it was only now that it realized that the food produced in the Cargarde Peninsula could be so delicious.
Valkries put a piece of pastry into its mouth and felt its heart-piercing sweetness.
Without a doubt, this food still retained the simple flavor of the dried Red Mayflies. It was an innovation based on the characteristics of the race and human technology.
Valkries quickly finished the pastry.
If the Cloud School was still around, if the "Transformer" was still around … would they also be able to create such excellent food?
The Nightmare Lord shook its head and threw this thought to the back of its mind.
In any case, the Battle of Divine Will had been brewing for hundreds of years and was already as unstoppable as a flood. The current situation was not something that it could control alone. Its most important goal was to ensure the continuation of the race.
However, the problem returned to the first point.
It knew very well where its uneasiness came from.
After a month of exploration, Valkries could basically confirm that the shocking changes in the real world were inseparable from this place, and that Roland was the culprit behind all the changes. The firearms mentioned in the history books were almost identical to the description in Ösrook's report.
The last piece of the puzzle had appeared in its mind. It had indeed found the source of the human's promotion. Although it did not know how the human male had obtained the permission to enter the Realm of Mind, it was the current situation. From this vast realm of Mind, he had learned knowledge far beyond the times and then applied it to the race. The witches had become the bridge to transform the knowledge, instead of wasting it on the battlefield like in the past. They were not facing the Union of 400 years ago, but a new human community.
It would not have been so bad if that was all.
After flipping through the history books, it also noticed a shocking fact.
That was, when the human civilization improved to a certain level, the speed of development would suddenly increase by several times! For example, a thousand years ago, they were still using guns to kill each other, but now, their footprints were all over the sky and the sea, and their weapons had evolved to the extent of destroying the world.
This was also the biggest source of uneasiness for Valkries.
— How far had Roland gone?
