"Wait a minute," Roland thought. "Why does this thing sound like the giant demonic beasts near the Great Snow Mountain?"
"Similar to wild beasts?" Before he could ask, Agatha said, "Are you the ones who entered Devil's Town and swallowed the Blackrock Tower?"
"Devil's... Town?" "Apart from repairing the ruins and opening up the passage to the City of Glow, we didn't let the devouring worm go anywhere else. After all, it consumes too much food, and we can't afford it." "
Roland briefly explained the visions the witches had encountered in the Misty Forest and the west of the Western Region, and asked Scroll to fetch the picture of the giant beast drawn by Soroya. "The traces of the two monsters point to a huge snow mountain, which is much larger than the wild beasts."
"It is indeed the devouring worm." Pasha took a deep breath after looking at the lifelike "picture". "I'm afraid that the snow mountain you mentioned also has a relic of the underground civilization! According to the literature, they once spread all over the Land of Dawn, and wherever there were mountains, there were traces of the worms. This could be seen from the inside of the mountains that were full of holes. This record was not exaggerated. " "
"But you think that the underground civilization has completely disappeared."
"Yes, but the worm is just a body. It can be used in the same way as the original carrier. As long as you transfer a part of the soul, you can control it." "
Hearing this, Roland's heart sank. He looked around and found that the witches in the room also looked serious. Obviously, everyone thought of the same thing — the worms had attacked twice, once against Agatha's research tower, and the other time against Devil's Town. After eliminating the three forces, the only remaining possibility was that race that had yet to show up.
Did they find the relic in the snow mountain and possess the worm's body?
If that was the case, it was not a big deal.
Thinking along this line of thought, what if there was also a magic core and central carrier in the snow mountain relic? Would the other race greatly improve their magic theory and create an instrument of divine retribution for the witches?
In addition, according to the records, the grander the mountain, the larger the city built by the underground civilization … Although the snowy mountains were not as undulating as the Impassable Realm and Dragonspine Ridge, the main peak was the highest in this area. If there really was a large number of bodies there, he would definitely not leave them alone.
[Your Majesty, please help us explore this snowy mountain! "Celine suddenly said anxiously," If the finished instruments are stored there... "
[There are also the various carriers mentioned in the documents. If they fall into the enemy's hands, I'm afraid they will bring us great trouble. Pasha's voice sounded calm, but judging from her twitching tentacles, her emotions weren't any lower than Celine's.
At the same time, there was a clamor of discussion behind the sarcoma. Obviously, this news had caused an uproar among the Taquila survivors.
Roland quickly understood why they were so excited.
Compared with the senseless bodies of the God's Punishment Army, the carrier was much better in this respect, although it had completely lost its human form. At least it could feel cold, hot, sore, and had a certain sense of smell. After being locked in a cage of nothingness for hundreds of years, it was no wonder that they were so concerned about the news of a new carrier.
"Your concerns are indeed very reasonable." He pretended to ponder. "I've been planning to explore the snowy mountains of the Western Region, but I lacked an effective means of transportation. I didn't want the witches to take risks alone, so I had to postpone it. If we can cooperate with the devouring worm, it will be a good opportunity... "
"We'll start the migration as soon as possible," Pasha replied solemnly.
They had been discussing ways to cooperate, but they didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon. In fact, even without the other party's request, Roland would have launched an internal investigation into the snowy mountains. In addition to the need to eliminate the possible threats around Neverwinter, he was also very interested in this carrier that could easily open a large underground tunnel.
With a little imagination, he could understand how extensive its uses were!
Previously, he had planned to turn the Impassable Mountain Range into a natural barrier against the demons, but it was not easy to achieve this in engineering. The road between the mountains was rugged and steep, and the climate changed greatly. Just the transportation of cement and bricks was a headache. In addition, if he wanted to station the troops for a long time, in addition to the Stronghold Battery, the barracks, roads and other necessary living facilities had to be built near the fortifications, which was a great challenge for Hummingbird, Lotus and the others.
However, with the devouring worm, he could completely open a straight tunnel from the back of the mountain and directly connect the defense points on each mountain to the hinterland of Neverwinter. The ammunition storage and barracks built underground could effectively avoid the attacks of the snowstorm, and the flat tunnel could be paved with rails, which could be used to transport soldiers and supplies by steam trailers.
The reinforced concrete blockhouse above was the true meaning of the natural moat defense line, and the living area and transportation lines were below.
In addition, the underground pipelines and sewage network, which were indispensable for the construction of the city, were not a problem for the devouring worm. He could even claim that in this era, Neverwinter already had an underground drainage system that could allow people to pass through unimpeded. It could be said that before the shield tunneling machine was invented, this thing was simply a divine tool in the civil engineering field, and its function was no less than the Instrument of Divine Retribution and the biological computer.
"I hope this is the beginning of building trust between us." Roland stood up, walked to the light curtain, and reached out his right hand to the other party.
"Your Majesty, this is..."
"A handshake means that both sides have reached a preliminary consensus," he said calmly, looking at the giant creature that was several meters taller than him.
The latter hesitated for a moment, and then stretched out the thickest tentacle on its head, which spiraled down and touched his palm.
"Unfortunately, Soroya is not here," Roland thought. Otherwise, this scene would probably be recorded in history.
When the illusion connecting the two places began to distort, he suddenly asked, "Ah... by the way, you said that there may be traces of the underground civilization in every mountain. What about the mountains under the sea?"
"There are mountains under the sea?" "According to the historical records, their range of activities is limited to the Land of Dawn, and there are no signs of them going to the sea. Because most of the carriers are extremely heavy, it is not convenient for them to move in the water. Why do you ask this? "
"Nothing, I'm just a little curious," Roland shook his head.
"They only appear in the Land of Dawn... It seems that the strange underwater spire and telescope have nothing to do with them." However, the giant stone gate that the old telescope was staring at, as well as the continent that could only be reached at high tide, whose territory was it? "Is it a third party that has been hiding in the dark?"
"I hope Thunder can find the answer."
While he was thinking, the purple light curtain distorted and disappeared without a trace.
