Chapter 1414: Margaret's Desire
"You're just in time." Walking out of the quiet room and seeing the gray-clothed old woman waiting outside the door, Rod's face sank, and his words were a little unhappy, "I'll continue to look for you if you don't save it." ”
"Oh?" Feeling the unkind aura on Rod's body, Margaret didn't care, "I don't know what I did wrong to make you so angry?" ”
Rod sneered, and at the same time reached out and handed her the magic eye wrapped in his hand: "Do you have anything to explain about this?" ”
Margaret stretched out her hand to take the MONOCULUS, but Rhodes withdrew her hand first, and at the same time squeezed it tighter, without the slightest intention of releasing the MONOCULUS.
Under Rod's huge force, his eyeballs kept turning, with obvious panic in them, and the tentacles in the rear kept swinging, trying to get out of Rod's control, but unfortunately, it did not have any ability to fight back, let alone hurt Rhodes at this time.
"Wait! You let go of your hand first. After noticing Rod's actions, Margaret finally began to get anxious, and her words were full of concern for the MONOCULUS.
Seeing that Rod was not moved at all, Margaret stomped her foot and said in a deep voice, "Okay, okay." I felt the breath of the witchcraft ritual, so I sent my children to find out. ”
Rod let go of his hand slightly, and asked, "Why don't you just look for me?" It's not like I'm not going to let you visit the ceremony. ”
Seeing this, Margaret hurriedly explained: "By the time I found out, the ritual had already begun, and in order not to interfere with the guide of the ritual or even disrupt the entire ritual, I could only let my children observe in secret. ”
"That's not right." Rod was keenly aware of the anomaly and held the MAGIC EYE in his hand tighter, "I sensed the prying eye before the ritual began, and you didn't find out in the middle of the ritual. ”
Hearing Rod's words, Margaret shook her head: "You don't know this." The biggest difference between the Hex Ritual and the Sorcery is its wholeness, starting from the preparation of the materials, the entire Hex Ritual has been initiated, and in this process, any accidents will affect the final result. ”
Rhodes was silent and did not answer.
In his impression, in the underground world of sorcerers, there is indeed such a saying, which is also a habit of sorcerers, but it is not common among mages.
After learning all this, Rhodes let go and threw the magic eye in his hand at Margaret, while saying, "You can go, the next batch of eyeballs may be given to you after a while." ”
With that, Rod was ready to leave.
"Don't rush [fo] away."
The MONOCULUS slowly disappeared in the air, but at this moment, Rhodes was stopped by Margaret, her voice was high-pitched, and even though she tried to lower her volume, she still felt incongruous.
Margaret whispered, "I feel the power contained in that ancient ritual, it is not an ordinary fusion ritual, I have never seen such a ritual. I wonder how that girl learned this ritual of witchcraft, and it would be better if she could teach me this ritual, it would be very helpful to my research. ”
After listening, Rhodes just pouted: "Do you know that the Thieves' Guild and the Magic Guild say that intelligence and knowledge need to be exchanged for equivalent things." What can you come up with? ”
Unlike Elon or the prophet Messia, Margaret did not choose to pledge allegiance to Rhodes, but chose to stay in the city of Saw as a cooperate.
For this reason, Rhodes also expressed his attitude, and if he wants to learn this witchcraft ritual, he needs Margaret to give something of equivalent value in exchange.
"The equivalent, I'd like to think about it......," said Margaret, after a moment's thought, "I see that you are very interested in potions, and I have a recipe for potions that can blind those who drink potions forever, what do you think?" Tell me the details about the ritual and it's yours. ”
"......," the corners of Rod's mouth twitched, "Not well, I need a powerful potion." Unless you can come up with ten recipes for potions that resemble blindness, I won't tell you about the ritual. ”
"Well, it seems that you don't like general things." Margaret said with some exasperation, "What do you think about how the MONOCULUS was made, and the 'Silent Eye Ritual' you tried?" I'm trading that for that kind of hex ritual. ”
Rhodes thought for a moment, the Silent Eye Ritual should refer to the ritual of seeing the enemy's movements from a distance, and it requires the cooperation of potions, and in a way, this ritual is extremely valuable.
From Margaret's attitude, Rhodes could see her desire for the [Fusion Ritual].
It stands to reason that with the level of magic she used to create the Demon Eye, she should have already learned the [Fusion Ritual] of the Demon Wizard's apprentice, and it is impossible for her to show such an attitude, even at the expense of her own research in exchange. In other words, what she really longed for was actually the [Fusion Ritual] that had been adjusted by a powerful sorcerer in that ritual book.
A powerful sorcerer will make various adjustments to the basic ritual based on his own research until the effect of the ritual is satisfactory to him.
After discovering this, the originally extremely precious method of making the magic eye, plus the ritual of peeking on the enemy's movements, could not satisfy Rhodes at this time.
Looking at Margaret, who was rubbing her hands together and anxious in her heart, Rhodes shook his head and said, "That special fusion ritual was left by a sorcerer named Sasha. I think you should know the meaning of this name among sorcerers, ordinary knowledge, can not be exchanged for this kind of ritual. ”
Sasha...... It turned out to be a ritual he had researched...... "After hearing this name, Margaret was shocked, and her body couldn't help shaking, even Rhodes didn't expect it to have such a good effect.
After a long time, Margaret lowered her head slightly, her body slowly calmed down, she sighed deeply, and said, "If this kind of ritual is really left by him, everything I have is not enough to exchange it for ...... from you."
Listening to the old woman's words, Rod frowned faintly, he only knew that Sasha had an extremely high status among the bards, leaving many precious books, and now it seemed that Sasha was more famous in the world of witches, and Margaret felt sincere awe just when she heard this name.
"However, I still have one more study that has not yet been completed...... I've spent my whole life researching on this one, and once it's done, I'm sure I'll be able to surpass the ritual he left behind......"
In the end, Margaret seemed to have finally made some kind of decision, and her empty eye sockets were directed at Rod.
"I've decided that I'm going to trade the 'Eternal Eye', a demonic ritual I'm working on and hasn't yet reached its final stage, in exchange for this ritual."
