"What's so strange," said Vakiris, in a cold voice, "do you think that anyone has the ability to enter the depths of consciousness?" or ...... You're actually proud that you've imprisoned a Maharaja?"

Obviously, even in an absolutely unfavorable situation, the other party did not give up his pride, and Roland even had a premonition that if he bullied him too much, the other party would rush directly to the witch and beg for death.

But this reply did surprise him - asking for the title was just a casual mention, after all, most high-level devils have their own unique titles, and the one who can preside over the promotion ceremony in the Devil's City must not be an unknown person. It's just that he didn't expect that the origin of this devil was more complicated than he imagined.

Roland originally thought that Vakiris's consciousness had escaped by accident from a fragment of memory, but now there is one more possibility: the other party may be from the real world!

The title Nightmare first appeared in Ersluk's papers, and greeting him proves that it is not a historical figure, but is still active in the Devil's Upper Echelons. In addition, that memory fragment was watched by Roland many times, during which he did not hear a corresponding title to the Maharaja - if the devil's language learned from Kabradabi was correct, it meant that the presiding officer at that time had not been promoted to the rank of Maharaja.

Combined with its own statement of "actively going deep into the realm of consciousness" and the analysis of the situation on the front line by the Northland Pearl, Roland has become more and more inclined to the latter answer!

In other words, Vakiris, who was sitting across from him, had at least eight hundred years of history, and his strength and insight were rare among the devils. If you count the obvious abnormality in its reaction to Arashi, this time can be pushed even further! The value of such a conversation is far greater than that of a soul reproduced from a memory fragment, even if it doesn't say anything, it is equivalent to eradicating a Maharaja-level devil for the front line, and this alone is already significant!

"I have to correct your statement, first of all I didn't imprison you, at least for now, you're free. Roland pretended to be calm and replied, "Secondly, it is your subjective behavior to break into the dream world, and I don't think there is my fault in this." ”

"......," Vakiriss was speechless for a while, and it took a long time before she let out a sullen breath, "you call this the dream world?"

Pride makes it unbearable for any humiliation, but it also prevents it from making obviously unreasonable arguments—the wordlessness has confirmed the origin of the nightmare: it did come here on its own initiative through the realm of consciousness.

"Because whenever I fall asleep, I come in here, and in a sense it's like a dream. ”

"Ridiculous!" Vakiriss said in a low voice. Pioneering the realm of consciousness requires not only talent, but also a highly concentrated spirit and an iron will to not get lost in the sea of magic, and as a result, this demonless male can do it as long as he sleeps?

"Hello, this is what you ordered, please enjoy it slowly. At this time, the waiter brought the food, and all kinds of pastries and drinks were quickly filled to the table, and it looked quite delicious.

"That's just the way it is. After the waiter left, Roland spread his hands and said, "As I said before, it's good for both of us to be honest, and I won't lie to you about this kind of thing." What's more, none of the above is the point, the focus is on the truth of the battle of divine will...... and the future of their respective communities. He picked up his chopsticks and made a gesture of please, "We can talk about these while we eat." ”

Vakiriss reaffirmed that this male was different from all the humans he had seen before, and that there was no reason to talk about such a major event involving the continuation of the race while eating. If it were another normal person, I am afraid that it would have been serious and abnormal a long time ago, as if it were a great enemy. But it didn't seem like he was deliberately teasing himself, as if it was a normal thing for him to do so.

It picked up the cloudy Peninsula coffee, brought it to its lips and took a sip.

Immediately, the fragrant and soft touch slid through the throat.

Actually...... It's pretty good.

For some reason, it suddenly felt like it was losing.

No, you have to take the initiative!" Vakiriss forced herself to put down her cup and asked in a deep voice, "Where did you hear that the battle of divine will is not the final battle?"

Roland took Arashi's picture out of his wallet and put it on the table, "You've seen her too, right?"

Since the portrait of Arashi appeared in the "video materials" left behind by the Reflection Church, it is estimated that the age is earlier than the establishment of the Federation, so he deliberately made the spirit makeup in the form of Arashi to see if the devil in the memory fragment would react. Although the facts were not as expected, Vakiris's shock at the time showed that it had indeed seen the woman.

After a long while, the Nightmare Lord nodded, "Who the hell is she?"

"The oracle of betrayal. Roland slowly recounted the secret conversation in the Rose Café.

After hearing these incredible words, Rao is Vakiris was also dumbfounded, "Could it be ...... My mentor is referring to her?"

"Mentor?"

"A Thousand Shapes" Sistaris, it has taught me a lot......" After a moment of hesitation, Vakiris told the past of the Cloud School, "Its failure to promote has also deprived the stormy school of its last umbrella. ”

"It turned out to be ...... What is going on......" Roland suddenly realized, for the first time in history that the intelligence of the two races had been integrated, and he felt that the missing piece of the puzzle in his mind had finally taken shape.

"Your Majesty, have you thought of anything?" asked Phyllis.

"Do you remember the portrait that hung on the wall at the meeting of the Three Kings of the Federation?" Roland took a deep breath, "I'm afraid the person in the painting at that time was this high-ranking devil named Sistaris." ”

"You say...... What?"

"The Federation will enshrine the portrait of the devil?"

"W-how is this possible?" said the Tachira Witch with a look of disbelief.

"It wouldn't be surprising if you followed the influence of the Cloud School during the First Battle of the Divine Will - since the devil in the school could become a monarch, it was not uncommon for witches or ordinary people from the school to be in the upper echelons at that time. I guess Sistalis was always suspicious of the War of Divine Will before he died, right?"

In the eyes of some, this assertion is equivalent to siding with human beings.

“...... I can't deny that," Vakiriss closed her eyes, "it has had a dispute with the present king, but the tide of war is no longer something that one or two can stop. ”

"The same is true for humans. Roland said calmly, "A Cloud Sect that has collapsed can only be remembered at best, and when the Second Battle of Divine Consciousness breaks out, even this memory will no longer exist. There is no document left in that history to the present day, and nine times out of ten, three times out of ten have destroyed all records - the past of living with the devil can be a fluke, especially when the situation is unfavorable, it will only weaken the determination of humanity to resist, so the Cloud School must be forgotten as a stain!"
