Of course, this was just a conjecture.
He could not get a clear answer from the records of the underground civilization alone. For example, if they believed that they had reached where they were today through competition, how could those eliminated opponents with magic power have left traces of their existence? Did the witches appear before the first Battle of Divine Will, or did the witches have the talent to sense magic power since the Primates, or even the Lactation Era?
Or did they simply skip this step and become what they were today because of a victory in a competition?
In order to answer these questions, he would probably need a large number of explorers like Thunder.
However, the most important goal now was to fight against the demons and solve the problem of survival. Roland believed that as long as he had enough time, he would be able to piece together the original appearance of this world step by step.
"Has this relic always been kept by the church... no, the Starfall City?" He looked at Pasha.
Now that he knew this information, it was especially important to protect the relic.
"Yes, because of the existence of the giant painting, finding a place to bury the relic was just a way to cover one's ears while stealing a bell. It could not prevent the arrival of the Battle of Divine Will, so it has always been guarded by the most powerful witch organization. In addition, magic power was unusually active during the Months of Demons, and demonic beasts attacked Hermes crazily because of the relic. " Pasha moved her huge body so that Roland could see the scene behind her. The corpses of demonic beasts were piled up into two small hills, and light blue blood flowed all over the ground. "When we learned that the Starfall City had suffered a heavy blow, we immediately retrieved the relic. Now it is very safe in our hands. "
"How did you stop so many hybrid demonic beasts?" Vendy gasped.
"The Instrument of Divine Retribution can target and strip the magic power from the target. Without the support of magic power, these mutated monsters will soon die," Pasha briefly explained the principle of the Instrument of Divine Retribution. "Pasha briefly explained the principle of the Instrument of Divine Retribution." But only when the Chosen One activates it can it truly become a powerful weapon. "Strip the magic power?"
"Magic Power Stripping?" Roland keenly noticed that it couldn't be used against ordinary creatures? Can the God's Stone defend against the effect of the instrument? "
"No, and it directly works on magic power. The barrier of the God's Stone doesn't work on it." "
To be able to cover more than ten miles without any side effects, this was a pretty good environmental weapon. It was just that the activation conditions were a bit too harsh.
He suspected that the Underground Civilization had only verified this point in theory and had never actually verified it. Otherwise, they wouldn't have fallen to the point of being eliminated. Perhaps only in the Age of Magic would there be such a miraculous sight to be able to create something that they could use.
Without a doubt, compared to the underground civilization and the devils who could nurture many abilities, humans were naturally inferior in this aspect. The random awakening and the erratic use of magic power showed the instability of the witches. Perhaps if they were given enough time, they would be able to reach a higher limit, but what they lacked now was exactly time.
By the time the Taquila witches found the Chosen One, the steel torrent of Neverwinter would have already reached the demons.
Besides, since magic existed in this world, he would not turn a blind eye to it.
Therefore, the simplest method was to conduct research on both at the same time, using mana to boost productivity, and then using the rich resources brought by increased productivity to support mana research.
He believed that any research project could be carried out with money and manpower, and magic power was no exception.
Having learned everything he needed to know, Roland knew that it was time to negotiate.
"I've roughly understood your situation. First of all, there's no doubt that the demons are our common enemy. It's very necessary to establish a united front of Divine Will and strengthen mutual assistance and cooperation. What do you think? "
"I completely agree," Pasha said while nodding her tentacles. "The Taquila witches don't ask for much. We only hope that Your Majesty can continue to recruit witches and let Phyllis find the Chosen One. We'll send another God's Punishment Witch to bring new Five-Colored Magic Stones. " "
"That's easy. Whether you have this request or not, I'll expand the number of witches. But... "He paused and said," I think you should live in another place, such as in the west of the mountain range closer to Neverwinter. "
"This..."
"Your Majesty?"
"What about the demonic beasts?"
Everyone looked at him, some worried and some worried. Only Agatha's eyes were full of approval, as if she had known that he would do this.
Roland looked around and gestured for them to rest assured. Then he looked straight at Pasha on the light screen and said, "To be honest, I don't agree with your idea of keeping the relic alone. Once something goes wrong, all our efforts will be in vain. It's not a big deal to attract demonic beasts, but now without Hermes's towering defense line, if the demons launch a surprise attack, are you sure you can defend it? "
Regardless of whether the disappearance of the underground civilization had anything to do with the relic, Roland would rather believe it than not. It was better to keep such an important relic under his care. At least, he could quickly send reinforcements when the Taquila survivors were attacked.
"As long as the annihilation core is replaced, there's no essential difference between demons and demonic beasts." Celine was not convinced.
"Of course there are. Demons are much more powerful and cunning than hybrids. From those corpses, we can see that they once approached your core area. If I'm not wrong, your Instrument of Divine Retribution should be not far from the phantom instrument, right? " After saying this, Roland noticed that the tiny tentacles on Pasha's body slightly stiffened. "If it were the spear throwing demons, how many magic cores could be preserved?"
"But..."
"If you think I can't do a better job, or worry about the relic attracting demonic beasts, you can settle in the front of the Western Mountain Range, near the Fertile Plains. I'll open a direct mountain road behind you. In this way, even if you encounter danger that you can't handle, Neverwinter can still help you, "Roland said frankly. "Trust is the foundation of cooperation. Only by placing the relic in a place that both sides think is safe can we establish the most basic trust, right?"
Pasha stopped talking for a while. The tentacles on her head intertwined with other sarcomas, as if she was communicating with her companions in this way. After about a quarter of an hour, her voice rang out again.
