Chapter 1287: A Deep-Seated Unease
Fei Yuhan knows nothing at present.
But for now, they are at least not enemies – Roland's achievements against the Fallen are real, and he is indeed fighting against the erosion.
The joint annihilation operation with Hui is proof of this, and she will never forget the sentence she heard before she fainted. What was it, "Your Majesty, I knocked everyone out"? Added to the fact that Roland deliberately avoided her gaze afterward, what difference is there between that and burying silver here?
In other words, if the other party really had some ulterior motives, she wouldn't still be alive now – after eliminating the magic creatures of the erosion, the hunter would have had the opportunity to eliminate herself, who had heard that sentence, and attribute it to the enemy afterward, and no one would doubt it.
Therefore, in Fei Yuhan's view, this is obviously a kind of goodwill.
Apart from the lack of concrete evidence, the other party's goodwill is also the reason why she did not immediately report this speculation to the senior management of the association.
Roland, and Vakiris, they both chose to hide their true origins by agreement. Although it is not clear what the reason is, but since they want to do so, then it might as well let such "tacit understanding" persist for a while, and let her observe a little longer.
The phone rang.
"...Yes, I understand."
Fei Yuhan hung up the phone and nodded to Vakiris, "Mr. Pan Shi has something to do with me, I can't keep you company any longer today."
"It's okay, business is important."
"Then see you tomorrow."
"By the way..." As she walked to the door, Vakiris called her again, "Captain, can you bring me some books about technological development tomorrow?"
"You mean things like encyclopedias?" Fei Yuhan thought for a while, "It should be no problem. But there are so many general categories, and I don't know if I can find what you want to see."
"It doesn't matter, any category will do," the other party said happily, "Thank you."
"It's just a small favor."
After the door closed, Fei Yuhan returned to her usual expression.
Sure enough, she is not a simple history enthusiast.
She is trying to understand this new world as much as possible.
...
Vakiris sighed softly, looking at the closed door.
It knew it was a little too impatient, but there was no better choice now – this human being named Fei Yuhan was its only channel to learn about the outside world, and if everything was done slowly, this month's time would probably be wasted in the hospital bed.
If Haikezuode's plan goes smoothly, the Western Front Army should have already expanded its front line to human territory. This is the time when manpower is needed, and its "disappearance" will definitely make the Lord of the Sky furious.
To be honest, Vakiris's mood was quite contradictory at this time. On the one hand, it hoped that Haikezuode would wake it up from the Mayfly Pool at all costs, even if it would lose most of the memories it had gained in the realm of consciousness, and even cause irreversible damage to its brain. On the other hand, it was unwilling to give up the clues it had obtained so far.
The former reason is very simple, the more it explores, the stronger the feeling of unease in its heart becomes, and it will be easier to forget these things. No matter what secrets Roland is hiding, as long as it gets the shards of inheritance in reality, humans will never be able to make any waves. Even everything they have will be owned by the race in the form of inheritance, and this little secret is no exception.
The latter lies in the warning of "Thousand Forms" Xisitalisi – even if it wins the War of Divine Will, it will not be able to lead the race to the Divine Realm. As the dying words of a mentor, it was like a seed, deeply planted in the nightmare's heart. If victory cannot bring continuation to the race, then what is the right thing to do? Will the answer exist in this strange and incredible realm of consciousness?
Of course, these are all the reasons on the surface.
It has another thought that it cannot say, and even does not want to admit.
That is, during this period of time, it seemed to have returned
To the days when it was studying at the Yunxiao School, not only could it come into contact with new knowledge every day, but it also allowed it to see a future that was completely different from reality.
Vakiris took out a box of sealed pastries from the bag on the top.
It has exquisite packaging printed with patterns, and the appearance is exactly the same as those human foods. Different colors represent different flavors. When you open the seal, you can smell an attractive fragrance.
That is a delicacy it has never imagined.
Eating is a low-level manifestation of the race. Only hybrid bodies and native bodies need to eat with their mouths. Ordinary blood food can only provide very little energy and is very difficult to digest. Therefore, the most common practice is to put the food in a place where mayflies are dense to dry and soften it before eating – this process is very similar to human baking, but they use fire.
Of course, things that have been treated in this way are at most enough to fill the stomach. Since becoming a promoter and being able to directly absorb supplies from the life mayflies, Vakiris has never eaten food again.
Some of the clan members then extended the lowliness of eating to other races... such as humans.
After all, even witches cannot live without three meals a day.
It once thought so, until now it realized that the food produced in the Kagard Peninsula can be so delicious.
Vakiris put a piece of pastry in its mouth, feeling the sweetness that went straight to its heart.
There is no doubt that these foods still retain the simple mayfly drying flavor, and are innovations based on the characteristics of the race and human technology.
It quickly ate the pastry clean.
If the Yunxiao School was still there, if "Thousand Forms" was still there... could they also create such excellent delicacies?
The Nightmare shook its head, throwing this distracting thought out of its mind.
In any case, the War of Divine Will has been brewing for hundreds of years and is already unstoppable like a flood. The current situation is not something it can control alone. Ensuring the continuation of the race is its most important goal.
However, the problem returns to the first point.
It knows deeply where the unease in its heart comes from.
After a month of exploration, Vakiris has basically confirmed that the earth-shattering changes in real humans are inseparable from this place, and Roland is the culprit behind all the changes. Those firearms mentioned many times in history are almost exactly the same as the descriptions reported by Ersiluke.
The last piece of the puzzle in its mind has emerged. It has indeed found the source of human promotion – although it does not know why that human male was able to obtain access to the realm of consciousness, but the current situation is like this. He learned knowledge far beyond the times from this vast realm of consciousness, and then applied it to the race. The witches became the bridge for transforming knowledge, instead of being consumed on the battlefield of flesh and blood as in the past. What they are facing is definitely not the United Association four hundred years ago, but a brand new human community.
If it was just like this, it would be fine.
After searching through history, it also noticed an astonishing fact.
That is, when human civilization improves to a certain level, the speed of development will suddenly increase several times! For example, thousands of years ago, they were still using muskets to kill each other, but now their footprints have spread all over the sky and the ocean, and weapons have evolved to the point of destroying the world.
This is also Vakiris's greatest unease.
——How far has Roland gone?
Leaving aside Xisitalisi's warning, it began to doubt for the first time whether the race could completely defeat the opponent in this fateful war.
