Chapter 259: The Truth
Rhodes knew that sometimes, if he had discovered it himself, it would have a better effect than if he had gone to great lengths to explain it clearly.
Therefore, after noticing what was happening here, Rhodes deliberately brought Rowling here and spared the hero's life, precisely because of this.
At Rod's signal, Rowling slowly approached the hero on the ground, and after further confirming the hero's appearance, the expression on Rowling's face changed again.
Because she had a lot of questions in her heart, Rowling didn't wait any longer, and asked the hero on the ground directly, "Are you...... How is it here? Were you caught by Sepp? ”
Hearing Rowling's question, the hero on the ground did not react, just lowered his head, there was no trace of gleam in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and his body, which was already extremely thin, looked even weaker at this moment.
Seeing this, Rhodes swung his sword, but he did not directly kill the hero, but slowly left a not too deep wound on his body.
The pain irritated the hero on the ground, but by this time, he had lost all the ability to resist.
As if noticing Rod's eyes, the hero finally realized why Rod had spared his life.
Recalling what happened to him, the hero could be considered to have figured it out, although he still lowered his head, but did not continue to be silent, but replied to Rowling:
"You guessed that...... The undead creatures here are actually my men. I was originally the lord of Valen, but because I was deceived by Sepp, he sucked my life energy away and made me what I am now. But when I awakened as a hero, my abilities as a necromancer returned to me. ”
"Sepp doesn't care about everything in the city, he doesn't even control any undead creatures, all Sep cares about is the life energy that he has stored in his body. After extracting the original life force from these people, Sepp threw them out of the city, which gave me the material to make undead creatures. ”
"Although these individual people in the outer city have no value in transforming into undead creatures, if they are combined, their strength should not be underestimated."
"I've been experimenting here for a long time, and that's why I've created these undead creatures, and I thought that one day I would rely on them to counterattack Sep, but unfortunately, ......"
After explaining this, as if thinking of something, the hero sighed, and then turned to Rowling and asked:
"What else do you want to know?"
The hero's tone was full of dead silence, even Rowling on the side felt a little infiltrating when she listened to it, but Rowling didn't care about this, but continued to ask the hero:
"In that case, then why did you lie to me, why did you let the undead creatures under your command take you away......"
"I'm just trying to use your compassion and get you to help me achieve my own ends. Necromancers act like this, and if you yourself are deceived because you don't have much experience, it's just that you're immature. Otherwise, why do you think I'm telling you this? ”
As he spoke, the hero smiled self-deprecatingly. A bitter smile appeared on his strange face, which looked extremely hideous.
Through the hero's words, Rowling has figured out everything that happened before, and for Rowling, the effect of hearing this hero say everything in person is undoubtedly shocking.
Rowling couldn't believe that she had been deceived by this hero, and even asked Rhodes for help because of the lies he told, which eventually led to a fight.
Thinking of this, Rowling immediately looked at Rhodes who was standing on the side, but could only find that Rhodes's expression was still very calm, just as everything the hero said was expected by Rhodes.
Rowling fell silent suddenly, and while Rowling was silent, Rhodes and the hero did not say anything, just waiting for Rowling's reply.
After a moment of silence, Rowling turned to the hero again and asked, "You have already achieved your goal, why did you send undead creatures to attack me in the end?" ”
Hearing Rowling's last question, the hero's expression that had not changed finally changed, it seemed to be a little unwilling, but more of a remorse.
The hero didn't answer for a while, as if he wasn't going to answer Rowling's question, but noticing Rhodes' movements in the rear, the hero finally answered:
"Because you're born a hero...... If I can get you, even Sepp is no match for me...... I can rely on you to make a name for myself in Dia, and it won't be limited to this one city of Valen......"
As he spoke, the hero seemed to have entered the scene he had imagined, and for a moment he looked extremely crazy, but soon, thinking of his current situation, the hero's face darkened, and he no longer had any expression.
Listening to the hero's explanation, another feeling finally appeared in Rowling's heart, and Rowling had some general understanding of her natural hero identity.
Rowling should have been resentful of this hero who deceived her, but looking at the current appearance of this hero, she couldn't hate it at all.
For a moment, Rowling's expression was extremely low. What is more in Rowling's mind is a reflection on this experience and thinking about some of her own behaviors.
Seeing that Rowling finished asking, Rod pointed at the hero below with his sword and said:
"That is all said and done, for the sake of your cooperation, you now have two choices, one is to plunge into eternal darkness, and the other is to be loyal to me as a death knight."
Rhodes was satisfied with the hero's answer. The hero saw that Rhodes deliberately left his life behind in order to let Rowling grow, so he cooperated with Rowling's questions and told the truth.
The hero had already figured out that in this case, since death is inevitable, then the situation after death should be considered by himself. As Rhodes said, whether to fall into eternal darkness, or from now on, find a way to please the new master in front of him.
Rhodes knew that similar to the original centaur leader, even if he was transformed into a death knight, he was unwilling to serve himself, and he could only rely on the spirit mark to suppress its original consciousness, but the necromancer was different. For necromancers, as long as they can live, they will accept any choice.
Because of this, Rhodes needs to ask the hero to confirm his thoughts, and if he really has no love, then his own efforts are in vain.
