Chapter 1603: The Scepter and Greed
Listening to Will's story, Rod couldn't help but think of something else.
At this moment, what came to Rod's mind was the words that the sorcerer Alama said not long ago.
The sorcerer from the underworld called the ultimate hydra in the water elemental plane the "Hand of God". It is said that it was once an arm that belonged to the incarnation of the gods, and was blessed with supreme power, but it was cut off by the fallen archangel and became an exiled monster.
In Rod's memory, the huge sea serpent was more than just five snake heads, and he didn't believe it was an arm. And Alama replied that the incarnation of God does not necessarily have only five fingers, and that he may have more fingers than ordinary people.
At that time, Rhodes couldn't understand what Alama meant, but it was misinformation recorded in the classics that came out of nowhere, and in the classics that circulated in the world of witchcraft, in addition to recording precious secrets, more was more nonsense fabricated news.
It wasn't until now, when Will mentioned Stigmata, that Rhodes realized that the Stigmata, known as the incarnation of God, really had more than five fingers on his right hand.
"Hand of God......
At this moment, Rod seemed to think of something.
Recalling the ultimate hydra that touched the realm of the gods and gave birth to horns on top of his head in the water elemental plane, Rod's face became solemn.
As Rhodes' undead creatures gradually encroach on the entire water elemental plane, he will inevitably confront the ultimate hydra.
Relying on the existence of the water spirit ball alone, Rod is not sure to defeat such a monster, and Rhodes also needs more practical treasures.
"The word of the Stigmata is the will of God. His word is the Word, his Spirit is the Holy Spirit, and all will do as He says, and He brings salvation and the gospel to mankind......" as Will's narration continues.
Rhodes took a deep breath, if the Stigmata appeared in front of him, in the face of such a powerful creature, Rhodes really didn't know how to defeat it.
The only thing that made Rhodes feel a little relaxed was that the Stigmata seemed to have fallen a long time ago, and even his broken body had turned into a powerful monster, and he no longer existed in this world. Without him, even Erathia, who was once strong, quickly weakened.
Shaking his head, Rhodes continued to ask Will, "Tell me everything about the Apostles. ”
The Apostle, in Rod's impression, should be a hidden legendary rank. In the game of the previous life, players had to meet harsh conditions in order to be promoted to the apostle, and Will, there seemed to be a clue to the promotion, and Rod naturally wanted to know more.
"The Stigmata chooses pious high priests and makes them apostles to enjoy the glory of God. I know quite a few apostles, and I can introduce them to you if you need them. ”
"Forget it." Rhodes waved his hand, "You're not a high-ranking priest now, you're a vampire, and if you appear in Erathia, you'll be killed by the others immediately, and besides, it's not the time you used to live in." ”
Hearing Rod say this, he looked into his hands as if he had discovered something.
The blue and purple hands undoubtedly explained to Will what kind of state he was in.
"......No," he murmured, "why is this happening, my glory, my position ......"
"I need a scepter." Looking at Will in front of him, Rhodes said in a deep voice, "It should also be in this treasure house, that scepter, a treasure used by the Great Prophet, do you know where it is?" ”
The scepter that Rhodes was talking about was another treasure [Moses' Scepter] that he thought of when he was thinking about how to deal with the ultimate hydra.
In Rod's impression, the scepter had always been kept by the angels, and it was very likely that it existed in this treasure house. Previously, Rhodes didn't dare to fight the idea of this scepter, so he had to choose to go to the underground world to find the whereabouts of the water spirit ball.
"I think I understand which scepter you're talking about."
The existence of the Dark Word made Will unable to resist Rod's order to tell the truth everything he knew.
"I used to find the scepter and wanted to take it away, but I was deeply cursed and became a soul state, and I could never leave here."
Rod gave him a look of surprise. If the curse on each treasure is constant, Rhodes will receive the same curse if he takes the scepter.
"Can't you put the scepter back?" Rhodes thought of something and took the initiative to ask, "I've tried, and the curse in the treasure house will be lifted when you return what you took." ”
"It's useless." Will seemed to think of something, and said in a trembling voice, "On that scepter, what exists is not a simple curse, but a divine curse, and even if the treasure is returned, the curse can never be lifted......"
Rod glanced at Will with some surprise, according to what he said, if it weren't for the Great Demon Bloodline that existed in his body, when he took the red apple, those three divine curses would always exist in his body and would never be lifted.
Thinking of this, Rod's face suddenly darkened, and he didn't dare to imagine how he would fight in the future if he had those curses.
Fortunately, the existence of the Great Demon Bloodline helped Rhodes dissolve these divine curses.
As the sworn enemy of angels, the Great Demon may not be able to dissolve other curses, but the existence of divine curses cannot act on them at all, and will only bring them more powerful power.
In addition to this, Rod also remembered Sally.
The mysterious leader of the thieves, perhaps fearing that these divine curses would be on Rod, prepared to enter the Treasure House in the Clouds with him and take the red apple himself. Even if he couldn't enter with Rhodes because he wanted to stop the angels, he reminded Rhodes not to touch those treasures casually.
It was Rod himself who took the initiative to touch this incomparably sacred thing, and if it weren't for the bloodline in his body, he would almost have destroyed his hard-won power.
With a sigh, Rhodes continued, "You don't have to worry about the curse, you just need to take me to the scepter." ”
Like the red apple, the Scepter of Moses also carries an unquenchable divine curse, which may also have something to do with the nature of the treasure.
When Rhodes took the mana orb, the curse [Mana Collapse] he received was obviously aimed at the mage, which could severely limit the mage's play through the consumption of mana, but could not restrict the melee professional who could not cast spells. And those unique treasures associated with the gods are accompanied by divine curses.
This also gave Rhodes a lot of opportunities, and if he had enough time, Rhodes really wanted to search for the sacred treasures here and leave the treasure house.
