Chapter 831: A Decision with No Regrets

Two days later, a strange-looking concrete boat slowly departed the dock of Neverwinter

There was a huge swell, which looked like ahill, on the deck of the boat It was couarded by fully-ar erect on either side of the boat, and a dozen God's Punishment Witches

The boat was the ”Victory” It was en route to transfer the soul device to the Great Snow Mountain where the Taquila witches would corated into the worm carriers

Out of the confidentiality reason, the witches did not bid farewell No whistle was blown as the boat took off, and even the loading job had been co noticed by anyone

Roland stood at the sodden dock built with bricks and slabs, watching the shadow of the boat gradually fade away He knew once the conversion was completed, there would be three worreat help for both municipal construction and the defensive line project However, Roland soress as much as he had anticipated

The two volunteering witches were called Jasinal appearances in the Dream World, the pair looked just a little over 20 years old, al personalities

In order to let theirls, Phyllis and the other witches to the amusement park in the suburb, where they had hopped on a Ferris wheel, ridden a roller coaster, experienced the haunted house (during which Jas down suddenly) and taken a spinning pendulum ride He had also allowed them to eat as much as they had wanted Had Roland not earned so a few Fallen Evils a few days past, he probably would not have been able to afford such a revelry

Jasmine and Lyra, in the past two days, had been in a total shock, but they had followed Roland suble question They had screamed as everybody had when the roller coaster had inverted and had laughed like any girls next door when they had had strawberry sundaes All in all, they looked no different than ordinary people

If he had not known it beforehand, he would have never believed that these two girls had made a decision to sacrifice their huainst deo at the bottoic core

When the dream had ended, they had looked more serene than Roland had expected

Roland had wanted to console the two girls, but words had caught in his throat There was no point to dissuade the worms, for it was an action neither in his interests nor in the interests of the united front Words, in this case, had all beconed kindness

In the end, Roland had become the one who had been offered solace

He still clearly remembered their words and the expressions on their faces back then

”Thank you,” Jasmine had said with a smile, ”and”

”We don't regret it” Lyra had finished the latter half of the sentence

At that moment, Roland could hear the throbs of their hearts

They liked everything here

But they did not regretthat decision

”Your Majesty?” Phyllis, who came to send off her co back to the castle?”

The words pulled Roland back to the reality By the tiht, leaving a haze of fogs behind it

Roland put the thoughts out of his head He took a deep breath and asked, ”They really can't disconnect therated into the carriers?”

As if to knohat he wanted to convey, Phyllis lowered her voice ”A God's Punishment Witch is different from a carrier The former retain some basic consciousness even without a soul transfer Our conversion to a God's Punish commands than a fusion But carriers are different They're specific vessels that seal the soul perh those vessels will beco tiet out of one up to this date, at least none of the witches, not even Pasha, is able to do that”

”But there're beaht?”

”That's right” Phyllis nodded ”Without ic power, those cumbersome bodies can't move independently”

”Perhaps one day, we can also find a way to have their souls return to the Dream World,” Roland looked up at the distant, azure sky and said slowly

After a moment of silence, Phyllis turned her eyes in the same direction ”Well perhaps one day”
