Chapter 1474: The Substitute

"What did Nanawa say?"

Nightingale walked into Roland's bedroom and asked Anna, who was standing by the bed.

"I couldn't check out anything...... Breathing, heartbeat, and body temperature are all steady, just like falling asleep, just ......"

I just can't wake up.

The nightingale was silent. Last night, no one could have imagined that what was supposed to be a banquet to celebrate victory would end up in such a form. At that time, Anna reacted immediately, first asking the guards and the Witch of Divine Punishment to lock off the area, and then calling Tilly, Wendy, Iron Axe, and others. In the face of such shocking news, she is the only one who can do it in an orderly manner.

Unfortunately, these measures did not change the status quo of Roland's coma.

"The Seagull has just taken off, and its destination is Glowlight City in the Morning Light. Nightingale changed the subject, "If the lightning message is delivered in time, it will be able to bring Sunset back to the floating island in about three days." ”

"Well, it should be in time. Anna nodded.

Roland is not a divine punishment body, and must rely on the symbiotic seed of Sunset to sustain himself when he is unable to eat. The pick-up location was also chosen in Glowlight City to save time - Lightning and Maisie would be much faster than a glider, giving Neverfall enough time to recall Sunset before sending him to the Dawn King's Capital to converge.

And that's Anna's idea.

If I have to say that the misfortune is lucky, it is not the first time they have encountered such a thing. After the previous battle with the church, Roland also had a prolonged lethargy, and his symptoms were exactly the same as at this moment.

That slumber had connected him to the realm of consciousness and created a vast world of dreams, and this time it was probably related to the source of the legendary magic.

"What are we going to do next?" asked Nightingale involuntarily.

At present, only the top officials of the various ministries on the floating island know the news, and if they return to Neverwinter City, they will definitely not be able to hide it forever. Once the news spreads, it will take a lot of effort to stabilize the situation, which will not only greatly delay the progress of the plan, but also add new variables to the Devil and the Heavenly Sea Realm.

But going to the bottomless realm according to the plan is a great risk, after all, Roland is the only one connected to the consciousness realm, and if he never wakes up, the dilemma will only be worse.

She didn't know anyone else but Anna who could make that choice.

Anna stared silently at Roland lying on the bed, as if she had forgotten everything around her. After a long time, she said slowly.

"Keep going as planned. ”

The voice was soft, but there was no hesitation.

"If it's him...... Would definitely say so. It is the sacrifice of many people that has brought this rare opportunity, even if the future is uncertain. There is no guarantee that Roland will wake up if he returns here, but the Heavenly Sea Realm, which has already conquered the Blackstone Domain, will not wait for us in the same place - with him in a comatose situation, we may never be able to launch a new expedition. ”

Worthy of Anna...... The nightingale couldn't help but think to himself. To be honest, she is also more inclined to go to the bottomless realm, since Roland's coma is related to the consciousness realm, then compared to the source of magic and Neverwinter, it is obviously the former that is more likely to solve the problem. But it makes sense, and there is responsibility for choice, and even if everyone else knows this, they may not be able to abandon the more conservative approach and choose to move forward.

What's more, the other party didn't even hesitate and be confused.

Just as she was about to say something more, Tilly pushed the door open and walked inside.

The latter's expression was a little solemn, "Hekzod is here." ”

......

The bottom of the floating island, the core area of the sacred stone pillar.

"I didn't expect that one day I would add mayflies to human territory. The Lord of the Sky Vault refilled the filled gas tank and took a deep breath, "It tastes pretty good. ”

"I didn't expect that I could tolerate two demons standing in front of me. Eleanor stared coldly at the two of them, "The thought of having the opportunity to avenge the Federation after hundreds of years makes me a little unable to resist this urge. 」

"First of all, we've spent most of our time in the Blackstone Domain, and we've not been involved in the conquest of the Fertile Plains. Second, it doesn't do you, the Federation, or humanity any good, so you shouldn't be too angry with us. Hekzod said.

The Scourge of Silence glanced at it, "If you shut up, she won't be impulsive." ”

"Pack it up and go out, the man you are looking for has already arrived. 」

Leaving the enclosed mayfly pond and entering another empty cavern, Hekzod couldn't help but frown.

It saw many people, witches, carriers, and uniformed human soldiers, but there was no king of the Grey Keep, Roland.

"What does that mean?" it asked in a deep voice.

At a time when the god of creation had just fallen and mankind had won a great victory, this questioning sentence instantly made the atmosphere of the scene tense.

"I am Anna, Roland's wife, Queen of Grey Castle. Anna stepped past the crowd and walked up to Hekzod step by step - the difference in height between the two was more than double, and it was even more obvious when they looked at each other, "Your Majesty Roland suddenly had an accident, and I can't meet you for the time being." ”

Then she briefly explained Roland's coma and his relationship with the realm of consciousness.

Hekzod looked surprised at first, and then his face became more and more difficult to look at.

"So, the person who made an agreement with my clan no longer exists?"

"First of all, I have to correct your statement," Anna said in a resounding voice, "that Roland is only unconscious, and not in any danger to his life. Secondly, we all know what that agreement is, and even if he doesn't wake up, I'll execute it for him!"

"Little one, do you know what you're talking about?" the Lord of the Sky laughed angrily, "That's something that only the chosen ones of the Divine Messenger can do, and you can't even enter the realm of consciousness, but you still want to replace him?damn it...... Vakiris is wrong, if this is a counterattack from the gods, then everything is over-"

"No, you're wrong. Anna interrupted, "I don't need to enter the realm of consciousness, because Roland is in the dream world at the moment, and he will move towards the goal no matter what, and I am executing the other part on my behalf." She paused, "I'll keep the floating islands sailing to the bottomless realm, and at the same time send support from the Grey Keep to make sure the plan can go smoothly." Of course, this requires your assistance. ”

"What are you kiddingβ€”"

"It's not a joke, it's the only way to deal with it before the crisis!" she said without flinching, "The agreement will not be terminated, nor will it be invalidated, from another point of view, Roland has reached the bottomless realm in advance, all we have to do is to catch up, otherwise it will be impossible to get rid of the divine will and continue the race!"

"Oh, that's a nice thing to say. Hexzod sneered, "The operation of a kingdom is not an easy task, and I am well aware of what the King of the Grey Keep means to you humans, and I also know the temptation of power to humans. Now that he's gone, you think you're in control of it all instead of messing up the whole system?" it looked at the man behind Anna, "and make a young girl in her twenties the acting ruler of the Greykeep...... Don't you have a better candidate? Or are you naΓ―ve enough to think that she can ...... just by being a person?"

Halfway through speaking, the voice of the Lord of the Sky Vault gradually lowered.

It sees everyone's eyes looking directly at itself – although no one responds to its questions, sometimes silence is an answer.

- The girl in front of me can represent humanity.
