Chapter 1472: Celebration and Change
"Cheers!"
Agatha raised her glass.
"Cheersββββ!," the witches snapped in response. Dozens of cups were lifted into the air together, clashing crisply. Among them are the Tachirans who have lost their sense of taste, and the top leaders of the federation who have been transformed into carriers. Especially the latter two, for those who had experienced the last battle of divine will and endured great despair and helplessness, at this moment they finally lifted the heaviest stone in their hearts, and could laugh with everyone, even more brightly than the others.
Not all sacrifices are rewarded, and not all perseverance can wait until the dawn, which is why it is even more moving when hundreds of years of sacrifice and perseverance have not been disappointed.
"The ......," Nanava looked at Pasha and the others curiously, "can you really taste like this?"
The Witch of Divine Punishment had just lost her sense of taste, but Pasha, Elblem, and Seline had a drink that was beyond everyone's imagination - they curled up their tentacles and poured the wine on their heads as if they were bathing.
"Of course, although we don't have mouths, we can use our short surface whiskers to distinguish tastes and absorb water, and we can sense them much better than ordinary people. Pasha laughed back, "Plus, the range of tastes in the carrier is different from that of humans, so we can taste something we haven't experienced before. γ
"Wow...... What does that smell like? I want to know!" Lightning's eyes lit up.
"According to the research of the Quest Society, people can't understand things that they haven't been exposed to, so even if she says it, it's hard for you to imagine. Ice Witch refilled herself, "The only way to transcend this boundary is to transform into a carrier." β
"Elgertha, do you want to ......," Selene said in surprise.
"Well, when this is over, I want to do a soul transfer and rebuild the Quest. Agatha nodded calmly, "The lifespan of a witch is only a hundred years, and if I can become a carrier, I can continue my research." After saying that, she smiled at Lightning, "Someone like you who is curious about the unknown is the best person to explore the secrets." How's it going, are you interested in joining us?"
"But if you become a carrier, you can't fly, right?" Lightning thought for a moment, "I haven't even finished exploring this world." When I can't fly, maybe I'll think about it. β
"Whew...... Think about it, as if the battle of divine will is over. Luo Jia sighed after drinking a large glass of wine, "Now we have just defeated the devil, and there are more powerful enemies on the other side of the continent! No one can guarantee that reaching the bottomless realm will end the war, so just drink to celebrate today!" she said as she touched the barrel beside her, "Eh? it seems to be empty...... Where's the new wine?"
"Let's drink slowly, Evelyn has too much to do today," Moriel commanded the Mana Servants to remove the empty keg, "After all, the entire floating island is celebrating tonight, and she won't be able to catch up even if she does her best." β
Whether it's a chaotic drink or a wine, as a hedonistic material, it is naturally impossible to spend valuable manpower to carry it before departure, so the easiest way to do it is to bring Evelyn - as long as there is water, it will continue to conjure up wine. But when everyone is celebrating the victory, these reserves are a little inadequate.
"Poof. Anna, who was sitting at the top, burst out laughing.
"What's wrong?" everyone turned their eyes to her.
"No...... Nothing, I just thought of one interesting thing. Anna shook her head, "Roland used to say that he didn't understand why those deductions that simulated the evolution of civilization regarded wine as such an important thing, even if the food and clothing supply were insufficient, as long as there was some wine, happiness and satisfaction would rise. And if you are just well fed and clothed, you will still make trouble, which is simply unreasonable. Now, it's not all unreasonable. β
"Ahhh......h Here it is again, my brother's strange words. Tilly rolled her eyes.
There was a burst of laughter.
"By the way, isn't Your Majesty done with his work yet? It's okay to put aside work for a while at this time, right?" said Wendy.
Roland had only been present at the beginning of the evening's celebration, and after a brief opening speech to the whole island, he returned to his office - according to him, the devil should soon come to his door, and he had to take care of the matter at hand before he could have a rough idea of what to do. When he was done, he came up to celebrate with everyone.
"I'm going to get him down. Anna said, standing up.
"Then I'll leave it to you. Wendy laughed.
The cave where the witch celebrated was not far from Roland's location, and after passing through a narrow passage, she came to the office area below the command post - in fact, Roland was not alone, there were footsteps between the command post and the staff hallway, and they obviously knew that the trip to the bottomless realm was the most crucial part of the whole plan.
Of course, she didn't come to Roland to relax for a while, Nightingale was by his side at the moment, and she had promised that after this battle would be the time to agree.
Thinking of this, Anna knocked on the door.
"Come in, the door is unlocked. It was the nightingale who answered her.
Seeing that it was Anna, she looked a little surprised, and even her expression became unnatural, "Uh, why are you here......"
"For the sake of an appointment, of course. β
"Just, now, wait...... I'm not ready ......"
Anna gave a rare sly smile, "Lie to you." I just asked everyone to ask him to go drinking. β
"So that's ......" Nightingale breathed a sigh of relief, but there was a sense of loss.
"But the agreement is also a part, and it doesn't hurt to say it together. Anna looked at Roland, who was lying on the table and was asleep, "Is he still in the dream world?"
It took Nightingale a while to realize that Anna was doing this on purpose, so she had to say helplessly, "Well, he said that he needs to check the progress of the new project of the Gray Castle Design Bureau, and he needs to discuss the follow-up with the Devil Lord, and it won't be long before he can come back." If you want to wake him up, just give him a nudge - according to him, these things can be interrupted at any time, and the time will not change anyway. β
Anna nodded, reaching out and nudging Roland.
The latter did not react in any way.
"It's strange, I should have been able to wake him up like this before, could it be that I'm too tired from planning these days?" Nightingale shook Roland's shoulder back and forth, but still couldn't wake him up.
She tried to push him up a little harder, but the latter fell backwards without a reaction until he was leaning back in his chair. His hands slid down weakly, hanging down on his waist, as if he had lost consciousness completely.
The two of them suddenly changed their expressions!8)
