"What is it?"
The other side paused for a moment before continuing, "If it's risky for humans to accept the demons' perception, then we can turn the demons into humans."
"You mean — transferring souls?" Roland quickly thought of the key point.
"You once mentioned that there are demons in the Dream World, which means that the heir of Starfall City has used the ability to extract souls from demons. This at least proves that they are also affected by the soul instrument." Zoey explained, "After that, we just need to transfer the Senior Demon to Scourge's body, and all the risk of perception will be borne by this guy."
"I see," Roland could not help but nod. Using Scourge as a vessel was tantamount to forcing the demon to adapt to humans, and the sensory feedback received by the telepathic link was also familiar. In a situation where the other party was confused, it was easier to gain an advantage in a mental confrontation, which sounded like a good idea. "But you will also lose a vessel that can be transferred."
After the destruction of the church, the bodies of the God's Punishment Warriors were basically used up one by one.
"Compared to a cold, senseless cage, we are more willing to sleep in your Dream World... so there's nothing wrong with this."
"Ahem —" Roland almost choked on his tea. Although he knew that the other party was a woman, when he heard a deep male voice faintly say such words, the lethality was still too shocking.
"Just kidding," Zoey chuckled, which was rare for her. "In fact, we have a few defective products in our collection, which can be used for this transfer. Moreover, compared to the possible harvest, the price of a body is not worth mentioning at all. "
"Defective products?" He cleared his throat and asked.
"From Hermes to our original hiding place, we have to cross the Impassable Mountain Range, which is not an easy journey, especially during the Months of Demons. Some Scourge even crawled there — because their feet had been bitten off by demonic beasts. A body like this naturally can't be used as a warrior, so we originally planned to use it as a vessel for immortality for the nobles to enjoy. "
Roland secretly twitched the corner of his mouth. Can such a life really be regarded as enjoyment?
"But even if it's a defective product, it should still have the same ability as the God's Stone of Retaliation, right? If I use it during the connection process, will it cause any problems? "
"You don't have to worry about that. Even for us, it would take decades to master an unfamiliar body." Zoey replied, "The time required to activate the Divine Punishment Domain is even longer. Many people even have to wait until the second transfer to be able to use this ability. Even if the Devil has an unimaginable talent in this field, it is unlikely that he can do this during the interrogation. "
Agatha added, "At the very least, even if the resonance is interrupted, the pain is only temporary. Sylvie has personally verified this during her investigation."
"By the way, have you discussed this with Ms. Camilla?" Roland suddenly thought of a key question.
"I've talked to her. At first, she was against it. After all, this is something she has never tried before. No witch can be said to be completely risk-free as an interrogator, but Zoey convinced her."
"Really?" Roland asked doubtfully. Camilla was not an eloquent person.
"In fact, it's very simple, Your Majesty," Zoey continued. "I just told her that the person who connected with the Devil is none other than myself."
Roland could not help but be slightly startled.
"I'm not only an Extraordinary, but also the first awakened God's Punishment Witch... In this state, I'm more confident in dealing with the Devil than most people," she said calmly. "Of course, the most important thing is that I'm the one who proposed this plan, so of course I should bear all the risks."
"This is probably the reason why ancient witches are so arrogant, but it is impossible to hate them..." Roland thought to himself, "When it comes to dealing with the Devil, they are indeed the first batch of people to shout" follow me ". Just this point alone has already surpassed many people. "
"I see. We'll do as you say," Roland replied after a moment of silence. After a moment of silence, he replied, "Remember to keep an eye on the Senior Demons on the way back."
"Ah, I'll" take good care "of it, Your Majesty," Zoey said with a smile.
Perhaps compared to the final interrogation, the process of escorting the Devil was what she was most looking forward to.
After ending the call, Roland fell into deep thought for a while.
"Do humans and demons really have souls?
If not, how can these Taquila witches change their bodies at will? What is the principle of the soul instrument?
If there is, why can't the soul exist independently of the body? " After all, if the soul can be separated from the body at will, it is no different from being immortal.
"And the Dream World... How does such a lifelike illusory space that does not exist in this world come into being?" In the ancient books of the underground civilization, what is at the end of the light pillar that leads to the Divine Domain?
After thinking about it, perhaps only after understanding the nature of magic power and the Battle of Divine Will could this puzzle be solved.
But no matter what, he now had a chance to witness the soul transfer with his own eyes.
...
Compared to the worries he had during the expedition, the time on the way back seemed to be much faster.
As the City Hall was growing stronger day by day, there were very few government affairs that required Roland's personal attention. Therefore, he spent most of his free time on several key industrial projects.
The flight test of the glider was still progressing steadily. The flight manual written by Tilly gradually grew from a few thin pages to a book as thick as "Intermediate Chemistry". When adding the cover, Roland deliberately used gold as the title.
Thunder was also getting more and more familiar with the steel ship. Although the power and control system were not satisfactory at the beginning and there were many faults, it was finally like a real ship after several improvements.
In addition, the Wizard Tower specially built for Agatha was also completed in the last month of autumn. From the moment this five-story concrete building was completed, it became the new landmark of Neverwinter with its unique style and height exceeding that of the lord's castle. There was no doubt that before the completion of the Miracle Building, it would be the most eye-catching sight in the city.
In addition, the petroleum fractionation tower and the factory building for assembling the new generation of power were also nearing the end of construction. In the past, the closer it was to winter, the quieter the Western Region was, as if the cities and towns had fallen into hibernation together with the earth. However, since the establishment of Neverwinter, this phenomenon gradually changed and reached a new peak this year. From the North Slope Mine to the Shallow Beach Harbor, there were busy people and newly built houses everywhere. The prosperity and vitality of the streets and alleys amazed all the businessmen who came here.
One and a half months later, the First Army finally returned to their long-awaited starting point.
The people of Neverwinter spontaneously lined up on the suburban grassland to welcome them. Their cheers were so loud that it almost pierced the sky.
On that day, white snow floated down from the sky.
