Chapter 1537: The Will to Silence
Under the effect of the flames, the nearby environment has changed greatly, and the temperature around is no longer hot, but a little cooler.
"Rod, how did we get back?" Noticing the change in the environment, Inota asked, somewhat confused.
The sky was covered with black clouds and mist, and the sound of waves surging in the distance, all of which explained to Inota that this was clearly an island from the water elemental plane, not the fire elemental plane where she had been before, which also made her very puzzled.
"You've heard the grave keeper say that there is nothing we want in the fire elemental plane." Rhodes sighed and said, "There is no phoenix there anymore, and if we continue to search, it will only be a waste of time, so it is better to come back quickly and find a way to send a necromancer to search for it in the future." ”
"And what about your mission?" Behind, Rowling asked with concern.
"It doesn't matter, the blood of these phoenixes is enough to complete the task."
As he spoke, Rhodes took out a ball of phoenix blood wrapped in water droplets from the space ring, and the red blood was wrapped in the center of the water droplets, and the high temperature emitted in it had already made the water droplets boil.
The blood belonging to the phoenix has all kinds of magical effects, and the blood of the phoenix is enough to meet Flem's requirements.
Seeing Rod's answer, Rowling seemed to want to say something, her mouth opened, and before she could make a sound, she was interrupted by Inota in the back.
"But I haven't had enough! Back on the island, it's time to start studying the spell ritual again......" Inota said with her head down, a little unhappily.
Rod looked at her a little helplessly, and then looked at Rowling on the side, and Rowling just smiled and looked back, as if supporting all her decisions.
"Soon after, I'm going to Deya's side. Calculate the time, the preparation over there should be about the same, come with me. Rhodes offered to invite.
Hearing him say this, Inota nodded happily: "Okay, when are we leaving?" ”
"It may be a while...... I need to do some preparation. As he spoke, Rhodes looked into the distance.
On the side, listening to what Rod said, coupled with the existence of blood perception, Rowling seemed to understand something, and she looked at Rod with some concern.
"I'll go see how Ann is doing, I'll see you later." After saying that, Inota cast a space spell and left.
"Rowling, give me the one in the prophecy card with the hero Degar drawn." After only himself and Rowling were left, Rod thought about it and said.
Rowling took out the prophecy card and lowered her head in silence.
The gold and red cards flew around her fingertips, but stopped when she cut to one of them, and Rowling handed it out and handed it to Rod.
This card is exactly the one Rhodes wants. On the front of the card, Degar, bathed in a rain of blood and wearing a wide cloak, is holding a black charred humanoid corpse, raising his head and letting out a roar of pain, with the corpses of monsters at his feet.
Not long ago, in the prophet's divination, Rhodes had drawn this card, and at that time Rod was still wondering how he could draw this card, and now, he undoubtedly understood something.
Combining all known information, including rumors from the Lich of Dea and the Prophet, Rhodes realized that the hero who slaughtered the phoenix was most likely the Degar on this card.
Vampires have a powerful ability to regenerate, not to mention missing eyes, even if they lose their hands and feet, as long as they have enough blood, they can be restored to their original state.
However, in Rod's memory, the Degar he had seen at the top of the Tower of Spiritualism did not possess the power of legend. Degar's eyes, though also scarlet, are no longer capable of transforming other creatures into vampires at a glance.
Degard's body may have bloomed with a brilliant heroic will, but after countless years, this will has also fallen silent, and his heroic specialties no longer exist, which also gives Rod an opportunity.
All heroes who have lived a long time will face such a situation. This also made Rhodes feel emotional, although he didn't know what happened to Degar, he would regret the hero's silence.
Compared with dying with a bright will, the sinking of the hero after losing his will may be the most painful.
"Brother, what are you thinking?"
Just as Rod was looking at the card in his hand, Rowling took the initiative to notice his abnormality, came to his side, and took the initiative to ask.
"It's nothing......" shook his head, and Rhodes handed the prophecy card back to Rowling.
Seeing that Rod was a little emotional, but didn't want to say anything, Rowling gently took his hand and said:
"You know what? I can replace the original card on the prophecy card with someone or something that I think is appropriate, which means that if my brother agrees, I can also draw you into the card. ”
"Forget it." The corners of Rod's mouth twitched, and he waved his hand and said, "I'm not interested in this." ”
Hearing Rod say this, Rowling's mouth suddenly bulged, she glared at Rode, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why did my brother agree to her request so quickly, every time it was my turn to request, my brother always didn't take it to heart like this......"
Sensing the dissatisfaction in Rowling's heart, and the Inota she was referring to in her words, Rhodes coughed dryly and said, "Did I do this?" ”
Seeing that Rowling was still glaring at him dissatisfied, Rod had to explain: "Have you forgotten? When your soul was taken away by those angels, I did everything I could to get you out......"
Hearing Rod say this, Rowling turned her head slightly sideways, but the afterglow in her eyes was always on Rode: "Of course I remember...... My brother always cares about me in some big things, but it is in this kind of small things that I am very dissatisfied! ”
"Well, since you're asking for that......" Rhodes patted her on the shoulder helplessly, "this set of prophecy cards was made by the Prophet, which of them are you going to replace with one of them?" Or are you going to make some new prophecy cards to add to? ”
"Forget it." After saying that, Rowling glanced at Rod, and then took out a book and flipped through it.
Rod looked at Rowling a little strangely, not understanding what she meant. Obviously, she proposed to add herself to the card face, why did she forget it when she agreed?
Shaking his head, no longer thinking about these things, Rhodes said, "I'm going to Margaret's, I have a special mission that I need her to complete. ”
Hearing Rod say this, Rowling held the hand of the book, and couldn't help but get up hard at this moment. She blinked, but didn't look in the direction where Rod was.
It wasn't until Rode's figure dissipated in the flames that Rowling put down the book in her hand and looked in the direction of Rode's departure, with deep worry in her eyes.
