"Kane, what's going on?"

Seeing the appearance of the death knight Kane, Rhodes let go of Inota as soon as possible, got up and asked.

Inota pursed her lips, stood up as well, and immediately grabbed Rhodes again.

"A death knight belonging to Vera has returned to the island, he is badly wounded, and he is not human, and none of us understand what he said." Kane said respectfully.

"Take me to see it." Rhodes was a little interested, and it just so happened that he still had the traveler's belt given by Inotta, and it was not difficult for him to communicate with non-human creatures.

Crossing the cliff to the corner of the bay, in the midst of a group of necromancers, Rhodes meets what Kane calls a death knight.

It was a wounded male mermaid with a muscular upper body and a fish-like lower half, holding a rough stone harpoon in his hand, looking warily at the necromancers around him.

"Who are you? Where's Vera? Rod stepped forward and took the initiative to ask.

The mermaid looked at Rod vigilantly, and subconsciously raised the harpoon in his hand and pointed it at Rode.

"Looks like you haven't figured it out yet." Rhodes said in a deep voice, the wide cloak behind him shook violently, and the dark aura instantly enveloped the mermaid.

Soon, the black mist cleared, and the merfolk fell to the ground, gasping for breath as if they had just been freed from suffocation.

"Now, you're my Death Knight." Rod said slowly, relying on the other effect of the ghost king's cloak, he seized control of the mermaid.

"Answer my question." Rod said in a deep voice, and there was some kind of magic in his voice, which penetrated directly into the ears of the mermaid.

The mermaid looked stunned for a moment, and said in a strange language that no one else could understand, only the merfolk used, "I am Volo." Vera was fighting the avatar of the god and was swallowed by it in one gulp. ”

Hearing the words of the mermaid Volo, Rhodes was stunned for a moment, he didn't know when such an existence appeared in the water elemental plane: "What is the incarnation of a god?" Be specific. ”

"It was a huge sea serpent, and it had many heads, and it had one or two horns on its head, and it belonged to it the most noble in the whole world, and no creature knew how long it had lived. In the memories of the long-lived elemental creatures, the sea serpent has existed since their birth, and it must be the embodiment of the gods......"

"I warned Vera not to provoke the incarnation of the gods, but he just wouldn't listen, saying that he would make amends for his mistakes, and eventually he was swallowed by it......"

In the face of Volo's panicked explanation, Rhodes' eyes lit up.

With the help of the vision given by the demonic form, combined with the peeping eye, Rhodes saw all kinds of thoughts in his heart. What Rhodes was able to confirm was that the incarnation of the god in his mouth was the ultimate hydra in the depths of the ocean.

Just as the creatures of Tytalia will regard the hydra and the poisonous dragon as totems, the mermaid in front of him, and the tribe he once belonged to, undoubtedly worship the ultimate hydra as a god. But in Rhodes' eyes, even though the Ultimate Hydra was only one step away from being promoted to god-tier creature, it was still a legendary creature that didn't deserve such worship.

"Why is the incarnation of the god you said so similar to the sea serpent I met?" Beside Rod, Inota also noticed that something was wrong and took the initiative to ask.

"Just as you think, it's the hydra." Rhodes explained, and after speaking, he looked at the mermaid, "It's just a hydra, but it's a little powerful, it's not the incarnation of a god at all, you shouldn't worship it at all, you should worship me." ”

Rhodes' words sounded in his ears, and Volo was stunned, and when he looked at Rhodes again, there was already a certain fanaticism in his eyes, and he was willing to give his life for him.

"I can feel that Vera's spiritual imprint is not completely silent, in other words, he is still alive in the belly of the ultimate hydra, and if he arrives in time, there may be a chance to rescue him." Rod sensed it and then said.

"Great! I almost swallowed it on an underwater expedition before, Rode, teach it a lesson! On the side, Inota cheered.

Rod was helpless and said, "Don't worry, we can't just go into the water." After all, it is a creature at the apex of legend, and the marine environment restricts my strength, so if we fight it underwater, our chances of victory are not great, but it will be very dangerous. ”

Hearing this, Inota nodded: "You're right, what should we do now?" ”

"I want to think about ......"

Rhodes fell into deep thought, and after a long while, he said, "There are two treasures that can help us now, but they are not so easy to obtain......"

Hearing what Rod said, Inota suddenly became interested and asked, "Which two treasures, I can't wait to find them!" ”

"One of them is called the 'Scepter of Moses', and it is able to completely separate the ocean, so that the body of the ultimate hydra is completely exposed to the land deep under the sea. Another artifact is called the 'Water Spirit Orb', which can greatly increase the power of water magic, and allows the user to freely use all of their abilities without being affected by the marine environment. Once we have one of these treasures, we can immediately set off in search of the ultimate hydra. ”

Inota tilted her head, a little puzzled in her eyes: "I understand the first treasure, but what does the second treasure mean?" ”

Rhodes thought for a moment and explained in a language that Inota could understand, "For example, when you go underwater, even if you spit dragon breath, you will immediately be submerged by the surrounding seawater, and you will hardly be able to ignite anything. With the Water Orb, you'll be able to breathe dragon breath and cast all kinds of spells underwater without any restrictions from the environment. ”

"Wow." Inota nodded incomprehensibly.

"These two treasures are not so easy to obtain. I remember that the 'Scepter of Moses' was always stored by the angels in Cloudsdale and no one could obtain it, and the supreme treasure of the 'Water Spirit Ball' was deeply left in the underground world, and there was no news for a long time. ”

In Rod's mind, he quickly calculated all kinds of events related to these two treasures.

After the events of Standwick, the vigilance of the angels in Cloudsdale has reached the highest level, and Rhodes believes that as long as he appears, he will inevitably face unimaginable enemies, and if the angels are determined to kill him, the Last Judgment will not be easy.

In contrast, the Underworld has much looser defenses. According to Rod's memories of his previous life, at the end of the second expansion, the Water Spirit Orb will appear at the Gathering of Sorcerers in the Underworld.

In addition to these two treasures, Rowling's "Heart of the Ocean" has a similar effect, but the Heart of the Ocean can only provide basic mobility underwater. Once the battle began, Rhodes was still restrained everywhere, and it was difficult for either the Great Demon Form or the Titan Arrow to exert its power.

Finally, he made a decision, looked at Inota and said, "Let's go to the underworld to find the water spirit orb, and as for Vera, we can only let him wait a little longer in the belly of the sea serpent." ”
