Chapter 1018: Guess
"There's a problem!"
Cervantes only glanced at it a few times, then threw the report on the table and sneered: "How can this situation be without problems!"
"There is a problem, there is a problem, but the question is, how did they do it?" the maid sighed, scratching her hair at the end of her pen, "If they can drive so many monsters, then the principality may have been destroyed by monsters before the Great Wall was built." β
Cervantes tilted his head and rolled his eyes, "Could it be that they only recently invented this technology?"
"Who knows?" the maid shook her head, "Anyway, we just know there's something wrong with this, but who knows what's wrong?"
After reading that report, both of them knew that there must be something wrong with this, if nothing else, it should be the ghost of the All-Seeing Eye or the Dragon Hunting Order, but if they already had this ability, then why didn't they destroy the Duchy of Sorrow before the Great Wall was established?
Since they were so afraid of the existence of the principality, why should they leave it alone.
The black dragon leaned back on the couch and glanced at the report again, and then the office fell silent.
Serena was dealing with the work, but Cervantes had the time and energy to think about these thingsβnot to mention, he had enough intelligence to think about them, he wasn't a stupid dragon, and he wasn't like his own people, who mostly only used their muscles to solve problems.
Since he was a child, he was forced to develop the habit of using his brain to solve problems, after all, when he was a child, he was not very strong enough to run rampant on the continent.
β...... If," Cervantes frowned, a possibility suddenly came to mind, "we put aside the conspiracy theories, although we also know that the Arcane Empire will definitely drive the monsters to attack us when it returns, but now put aside this possibility and look elsewhere, that is, the 'monsters' themselves." What do you think will happen when Sela?"
Serena stopped her pen, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, she had already thought of the 'answer' from the moment she heard the question.
The other half of her soul has seen a lot of 'networks', and it's not a surprise that many monsters have intelligence.
Maybe it's because of some kind of accident, maybe it's because of some conspiracy, and it's not that there are no monsters and monsters in the Black Forest that are developing in the direction of 'wisdom', but they are relatively few.
Some animals that are already more intelligent will become more intelligent after being impregnated with magic, and even have a tendency to 'generate intelligence'.
This type of monster and monster has not been encountered in the hundreds of years that the old duke has guarded the Sorrowful Wind Territory, and every time this kind of monster is born, it is accompanied by war - not only in the Black Forest, but when the monster realizes the world outside the Black Forest, they often choose to leave the Black Forest.
When the old duke was dying, he told Serena about his more than 900 years, and she also recorded it with a pen, and now there is a bookshelf in the library of the castle dedicated to the old duke's story.
"If that's the case, it's a bit of a problem......" The maid gasped and threw herself back in her chair.
She closed her eyes, and her brain began to think quickly, and at the same time the words in her mouth were repeated: "If we continue to let them go or they grow, sooner or later they will have the same intelligence as humans, and at that time, it will not only be our trouble...... None of the races want a new race on the continent to compete for this land, which is already 'small' for us, and the continent must be at peace if it is to go to the astral plane. β
This was quite a problem for the maid, as she proposed to let the people of the world of Assatom go to the astral plane, and when people set their sights on that larger world, they would subconsciously ignore the struggle on the continent.
Compared to the vast and boundless astral boundaries, the Sloe Mendes Continent is too small, and its resources have long been slowly consumed in years of development, if they can't go to the astral boundary, they can only be trapped on this planet.
If only a few people go to the astral boundary, it is not a 'development astral boundary' at all, nor is it an 'interstellar colony', even if they can bring back a lot of resources from the outside world, but how can they meet the consumption of a continent?
You must know that the world of Assatom is not a medieval earth, it has gone through several epochal cycles, and many of the kingdoms that once ruled this land have disappeared, and even history has not been left much.
To get from such a planet to the astral plane, you have to hurry!
The Southern Continent has not always been ruled by dragons and beasts, and there have been civilizations there, but now they have all been lost to history.
The premise of the interstellar age is that the base camp must be peaceful, and if everyone is at war, where is there energy to spend on exploring the astral plane?
Cervantes suddenly asked, "Do you need me to perform the decapitation?"
When she heard this proposal, the maid had a momentary heartbeat, but then she calmed down and shook her head, "Not for the time being, the existence of those things is a 'double-edged sword' for us, not only can it hurt us, we can also use it against the Arcane Empire and their doglegs, the existence of those things also has certain benefits for us." β
"So, you're going to let it go?" the black dragon raised his eyebrows, surprised by this answer.
The maid nodded seriously and said, "Now they are only beginning to have wisdom, otherwise they would not easily expose their situation to our eyes, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being." β
"You're playing with fire!" said Cervantes.
"There's no way around it, if there weren't any Omniscient Eyes and the Dragon Hunter Order, I'd just kill them and not give them any chance to grow, but not now!" Serena sighed, she was also annoyed.
If you ignore it, there will be endless troubles, but if Cervantes takes action to destroy those monsters who have initially acquired wisdom, then it is equivalent to creating favorable conditions for the return of the Arcane Empire.
They don't know when the Arcane Empire will return, and it's even very likely that those newly intelligent monsters were created by the Eye of All-Knowing, and the maid's practice is to walk on a tightrope, and if you are not careful, the future of the Principality and this world will disappear.
If the monsters in the Black Forest continue to make trouble, no one will explore the astral boundary, compared to the rich resources of the astral boundary, they are more concerned about the safety of their base camp, if the base camp is gone, then what's the use of exploring the astral boundary.
"Are you really sure?" asked Cervantes, still a little uneasy.
"I'm sure!" the maid nodded heavily, she didn't know where her actions would take the future of the continent, but she had decided to do so.
Of course, the necessary measures still need to be done, after which they need to set up more [Surveillance Eyes] in the Black Forest to monitor everything in the Black Forest in the north of the principality, and once they find that there may be an accident that is about to happen, they must 'cut the grass and eradicate the roots' of the accident.
The current principality has such a ability, and if nothing else, Cervantes alone can solve this matter.
"Since this has happened to us here, there should be a problem on the elven side......" The maid sighed, "Seth, you go over there and take a look, if you need help, do a favor, after all, there is no 'Great Wall' on our side, and it may be difficult to defend against the invasion of the Black Forest." β
"Okay......" Cervantes got up, sighed, and shook his head, "Really, sometimes I really don't know what you're thinking......
