The God's Punishment Witches could enter the Dream World by interrupting their consciousness and thus obtain a complete body and senses, which was well-known among the survivors of the Third Border City. Roland had heard from Phyllis more than once that every time she returned to the underground world, she would be surrounded and questioned by her companions who were stationed there. Most of the questions were about her experiences in the Dream World, and her eagerness was evident in her words.
Now that there was another way to restore their senses, would they still voluntarily fuse their souls with the carriers as they had done before?
Of course, the latter was not without its advantages. At the very least, he could only experience the Dream World when he was asleep, while the host's senses were always present. Moreover, if the host's body was not damaged, it could be said to be immortal.
It was not easy to make a choice between the two options.
However, they still had another option, which was to conceal the information about the Dream World and carry out the conversion after transporting the instrument there. Even if they were unwilling to do so, they could not go back on their word. However, Roland didn't think that Pasha and the others would use such a deceptive method. After getting along with them for more than a month, he found that although these people had been isolated from the world for hundreds of years, they didn't become a pedantic organization. Not only did they have a proactive attitude towards new things, but they also did eliminate the social class between them. Obviously, the sacrifice of the Three Chiefs of the Union had greatly affected them, and the threat of the demons had forced them to keep moving forward.
"You don't have to worry about that," Pasha seemed to have read his mind. "More carriers will help us defeat the demons. The original carriers can operate the magic core, and the devouring worms can speed up the construction of the defense line. As long as it is beneficial to the Battle of Divine Will, they will not hesitate. In fact, the witches who participate in the conversion will go to the Great Snow Mountain with the instrument. "
"Volunteers who are willing to pay any price..." Roland pursed his lips. "It seems that I have indeed worried too much. When the exploration is completed, I'll send a fleet to transport the conversion instrument."
"Thank you for your help," she said with a smile.
Roland nodded and spread the pictures drawn by Soroya on the table. "The previous intelligence was only written clues, but these pictures were sent to me today. They can be regarded as the real scene. What do you think of this monster?"
"Please wait a moment. Pasha waved her tentacles and called Celine and Alethea, who were repairing the Instrument of Divine Retribution not far away, over. The three sarcomas gathered in front of the light screen and looked at the lifelike "continuous photos".
This time, the silence was unexpectedly long. They connected their tentacles and communicated telepathically. Plus, the blob itself did not show any expression, so Roland even had the illusion that they had been disconnected.
After a while, Pasha's voice rang in his mind again. "Sorry to keep you waiting. Some of the pictures surprised us, so we had to confirm them again and again. "
"It's neither a demonic beast nor a devil, right?"
"Yes," Celine said, "and the skeleton that fell into the water appeared in the divine land described by Lady Natalya. "
"Are you sure?"
[We have been underground for hundreds of years, but we are not stupid to the point of forgetting such important information. The carrier's memory is actually far superior to that of humans. "Lady Natalya saw the sea and the skeleton in the third picture scroll. From the description, it is very similar to the scene in the picture. Plus, the lake leads to the sea, so this judgment is even more credible. "
"So, now we can be sure that it belongs to the civilization that has never shown up before?" Roland asked, stroking his chin. He was not surprised by this result. When they found out that the devouring worm did not even spare Devil's Town, there were only two possibilities left. Either it was a neutral party that disliked everyone, or it was the last party in the Battle of Divine Will. In addition to helping the Taquila survivors, the plan to explore the snow mountain was also an operation to eliminate threats and find out the opponent's background.
In addition, he had also read similar records in Zero's memory fragments, but the description was very vague. Now, with the confirmation of the Taquila witches, he could almost confirm the monster's true identity.
"It's very likely, but..." Pasha hesitated before continuing, "there are still many things that we don't understand. For example, the demonic beast. "
"This group of beasts throughout the Land of Dawn should have been eroded and mutated by magic power, just like the witches who obtained magic power. But why do they follow the instructions of this monster? This is different from the demons forcibly enslaving the hybrids. It's more like the relationship between the leader and the follower. " "
Roland had also thought about this question. If the demonic beasts were a part of that civilization, it was also difficult to explain why they did not accumulate the hybrids and then destroy the humans and demons in one go. Any intelligent race would not let their power be wasted in the Months of Demons every year.
Perhaps the origin of these deformed beasts was not as simple as they thought.
"When the Battle of Divine Will starts, we will know the answer." Roland shrugged and pretended to be relaxed. "If they are also relatives of the monster, that would be great. Then, when we defeat all the opponents, even when the Months of Demons comes, these ugly creatures will not be seen in the vast snowfield. "
"... You're right." Pasha was startled at first, then she chuckled. "You see it clearly. Indeed, no matter how they were born, as long as they appear in the Battle of Divine Will, they are enemies that we must defeat. " "
The following discussion focused on how to block the underground river in the ruins and how to build a line of defense. When the meeting was about to end, Roland suddenly thought of a key problem.
"By the way, since we have caught the tail of the hidden civilization, we should give them a name." He cleared his throat. "Just like the civilization in the first scroll, they are called demons."
"Is it important?" Pasha asked while tilting her main beard. "Demons are the most popular name. In the Union, some people also call them Blood Fiends, Deformed Demons, or Defilers." "
"Of course, a suitable name is very important for propaganda and mobilization. The more evil it appears, the more it can arouse people's antagonism."
"Then... what do you think we should call them? "
"Well, since they are potential enemies and stay in the sea for a long time, let's call them sea monsters. What do you think?"
"..."
The whole room suddenly became quiet.
"Uh... is that bad?"
"I thought the name Third Border City was bad enough. I didn't expect it to be worse." Alethea sneered. "Sea monster? It sounded like he was addressing a giant octopus. "
"Alethea! Pasha patted the former's head with her main tentacle. "Your Majesty, if you think it's okay … I think … there's no problem. "
Although that was what he said, why did his tone sound so forced? Roland picked up his cup and took a sip of tea to cover up the awkward atmosphere.
"Ahem." Scroll, who was taking notes at the side, suddenly coughed twice. "Your Majesty, how about we call it the Deep Sea Devil?"
"Deep sea … demons?" he repeated.
"Yes, the concept of the word 'devil' has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. We don't need to describe it too much, everyone can understand what it represents. This will help the promotion of the City hall's propaganda work, and the people will also not feel that they have to face multiple enemies at the same time," Scroll explained as she held the quill in her hand.
"It seems to be a little better …" Roland pursed his lips unwillingly. "Then we'll do as you say."
