"What did Nana say?"
Nightingale walked into Roland's bedroom and asked Anna, who was guarding by his bedside.
"There's nothing wrong with him … His breathing, heartbeat, and body temperature are all stable, as if he's asleep, but …"
But there was no way to wake him up.
Nightingale was silent. Last night, no one would have thought that what was supposed to be a celebratory victory banquet would end in such a manner. At that time, Anna reacted immediately. First, she ordered the guards and the God's Punishment Witches to seal off the area, then called Tilly, Vendy, Iron Axe, and the others. In the face of such shocking news, she was the only one who could still be so orderly.
Unfortunately, these measures did not change the fact that Roland was unconscious.
"The 'Seagull' has just taken off. Its destination is the City of Glow in the Kingdom of Dawn." Nightingale changed the topic. "If Lightning delivers the letter in time, we should be able to bring Nightfall back to the floating island in about three days."
"Yes, we should be able to make it." Anna nodded.
Roland did not have a God's Punishment Body. In a situation where he could not eat, he had to rely on Nightfall's Seed of Symbiosis to maintain his life. The City of Glow was also chosen to save time. If Lightning and Maggie moved together, it would be much faster than a glider. This gave Neverwinter enough time to summon Nightfall back to the capital of the Kingdom of Dawn.
And this was also Anna's idea.
If there was a silver lining in the misfortune, it was that this was not the first time they had encountered such a situation. After the battle with the Church's Zero, Roland had also been in a coma for a long time, and the symptoms were exactly the same as now.
That coma connected him to the Realm of Mind and created a huge Dream World. This time, it was probably related to the legendary Origin of Magic.
"What should we do next?" Nightingale could not help but ask.
Currently, only the higher-ups on the floating island knew of the news. If they returned to Neverwinter, it would be impossible to hide it forever. Once the news spread, just stabilizing the situation would take a lot of effort. Not only would it greatly delay the progress of the plan, it would also add new variables to the situation between the devils and the Sky-sea Realm.
But according to the plan, heading to the Bottomless Land was an extremely risky venture. After all, only Roland was connected to the Realm of Mind. If he did not wake up, the dilemma would only worsen.
Other than Anna, she didn't know who else could make this choice.
Anna quietly stared at Roland who was lying on the bed, as if she had forgotten everything around her. After a long time, she slowly said.
"Continue with the plan."
Although his voice was soft, there was no hesitation in it.
"If it was him … he would definitely say that. Many people had sacrificed their lives in exchange for this rare opportunity. Even if the road ahead was uncertain, they still had to try. If we were to turn back now, there's no guarantee that Roland will wake up. However, the Sky-sea Realm, which has already conquered the Blackstone region, will definitely not wait for us. With him in a coma, I'm afraid it's impossible for us to launch a new expedition. "
As expected of Anna … Nightingale could not help but think. To be honest, she was more inclined to head to the Bottomless Land. Since there was a high chance that Roland's coma was related to the Realm of Mind, then compared to the Origin of Magic and Neverwinter, the former had a higher chance of solving the problem. But logic was logic. Making a choice came with responsibility. Even if others knew this, they might not be able to abandon the more conservative method and insist on proceeding forward.
Furthermore, the other party did not have any hesitation or confusion.
Just as she was about to say something, Tilly pushed open the door and walked into the room.
The latter's expression was somewhat solemn. "Hackzord is here."
…
At the bottom of the floating island, the core region of the God's Stone pillars.
"I never expected that there would be a day when I would install Red Mist in human territory." Sky Lord stored the filled gas tank back into his body and took a deep breath. "It tastes pretty good."
[I also never expected that I could tolerate two demons standing in front of me.] Eleanor stared coldly at the two. "Just thinking of the chance to avenge the Union after centuries, I can't help but have an urge to do so. ]
"Firstly, we spent most of our time in the Blackstone region and did not participate in the war against the Fertile Plains. Secondly, doing so does not benefit you, the Union, or the humans, so you shouldn't vent your anger on us. "Hackzord shrugged.
Silent Disaster swept a glance at him. "If you had kept your mouth shut, she wouldn't have had such an urge."
[Once you're done, go out. The person you are looking for is here.] []
After leaving the sealed Red Mist Pond and entering another spacious cave, Hackzord could not help but frown.
He saw many people, including Witches, carriers, and even human soldiers in uniform. But there was no King of Graycastle, Roland.
"What's the meaning of this?" he asked in a deep voice.
The Deity of Gods had just fallen and the humans had achieved an overwhelming victory. The questioning words immediately caused the atmosphere to tense up.
"I am Anna, Roland's wife, Queen of Graycastle." Anna walked through the crowd and walked towards Hackzord. Their height difference was more than double, and it was even more obvious when they looked at each other. "His Majesty suddenly met with an accident and will not be able to meet you for the time being."
Following that, she explained the matter of Roland's coma and his relationship with the Realm of Mind in a concise manner.
Hackzord first revealed a look of surprise before his expression turned ugly.
"So you're saying that the person who came to an agreement with my race no longer exists?"
"Firstly, I have to correct your statement," Anna said firmly. "Roland is only in a coma and is not in any life-threatening danger. Secondly, we all know what the agreement is. Even if he doesn't wake up, I will carry it out on his behalf! "
"Little rascal, do you know what you're saying?" Sky Lord was so angry that he laughed. "That is something only the Oracle's Chosen can do. You can't even enter the Realm of Mind, yet you wish to replace him? Damn it … Valkries is wrong. If this is God's retaliation, then everything is over — "
"No, you're wrong." Anna interrupted. "I don't need to enter the Realm of Mind, because Roland is currently in the Dream World. No matter what, he will advance towards his goal, and I will carry out the other part." She paused for a moment. "I will let the floating island continue sailing towards the Bottomless Land, and at the same time, deploy reinforcements from Graycastle to ensure that the plan can proceed smoothly. Of course, I will need your assistance. "
"What kind of joke is this —"
"This is not a joke, but the only way to deal with a crisis!" She said without backing down. "The agreement will not be terminated, nor will it be voided. From another angle, Roland has already reached the Bottomless Land ahead of time. All we need to do is to catch up to him, or else there will be no way to escape the Divine Will and continue the race!"
"Heh, you make it sound nice." Hackzord sneered. "The operation of a kingdom isn't an easy task. I understand what the King of Graycastle means to you humans, and I also know the temptation of power. Now that he is gone, do you think you alone can control everything and not throw the entire system into chaos? " He looked at the people behind Anna. "To let a twenty-year-old lady become the acting ruler of Graycastle … Don't you have a better candidate? Or are you so naive to think that just based on her identity, she can … "
Halfway through his sentence, Sky Lord's voice gradually softened.
He saw that everyone was looking straight at him. Even though no one responded to his question, sometimes silence was a form of answer.
