Chapter 1168: Arrogance One
After putting away the dark green space gem, Rowling seemed to think of something and sighed deeply, and at the same time, Rod could feel a wave of worry about him.
This kind of worry has been deeply present in Rowling's heart, as early as before, Rod was aware of it, in order to lead the necromancer to capture the Emerald City as soon as possible, Rod did not care at that time, only when Rowling was careful about the outcome of this battle, until this time, Rod realized that Rowling was worried about something else.
"What's wrong?"
Noticing the abnormality in Rowling's heart, after coming to her side, Rod took the initiative to ask.
Rowling raised her hand and brushed her fingers over the bones on Rod's body, unfortunately, without the support of flesh and blood, Rod couldn't feel any touch, but heard Rowling say, "You've changed a lot." ”
Rod was a little puzzled and asked, "Are you referring to the change in body form?" It's just a normal function of the Endless Nights Ritual, and if I hadn't interrupted the ritual in time at the time, you'd end up like this. ”
As he spoke, Rhodes seemed to remember something: "Speaking of which, why haven't you recovered the traces of the erosion of death energy on your body?" Relying on the effect of the Secret Technique of Regenerative Energy, the period of time I asked the other necromancers to prepare should be enough for you to recover. ”
This is also what makes Rhodes puzzled, compared to before, Rowling's state has not improved, and even due to her indulgence, the traces of erosion are more serious, and she is almost close to the state of those senior necromancers.
The erosion marks that exist on Rowling's body are undoubtedly what Rhodes does not want to see, and because of this, Rod took the initiative to ask.
Without answering Rod's question for the first time, Rowling shook her head and explained her original words:
"I'm not talking about the change in physical form, but about your mental state."
Hearing Rowling's words, Rhodes showed an interested look, wondering what Rowling would say next, for Rowling's words, he was always willing to listen, if it was replaced by other creatures, maybe there would be no such opportunity at all.
"After returning from the water elemental plane, you begin to become empty-eyed and don't take anything into account."
Rod was silent, just looking at Rowling in front of him, wanting to hear her next words.
"This mental state is making you lose the ability to judge in the past, take the battle just now, how could you have probed the situation in the Emerald City in advance, instead of directly releasing the meteor rain like now."
Hearing Rowling's words, Rhodes felt a little helpless, before that, he had asked the vampire to explore the situation in the Emerald City, but at that time did not find anything abnormal, for fear of attracting the attention of the creatures inside, Rod did not let the vampire further test.
"In any case, the result of this battle is the same, it can only be said that the spells cast by the elves are too deceptive, even I didn't notice it for a while." Remembering the original situation, Rhodes could only reply like this.
Hearing that Rhodes was still defending himself and didn't realize his mistake at all, Rowling shook her head: "Maybe in your opinion, the enemy you are facing right now is not as strong as those creatures in the water elemental plane, but this is not a reason for you to look down on them. ”
"In addition to the enemy, I'm afraid that those necromancers who have entered Eri have also not been taken into your eyes, and yes, in your opinion, those necromancers are just everywhere, and they must be more or less existent."
Speaking of this, Rowling said: "Although the power of the artifact is strong and can be of great help to you, it is often not those strong enemies in the front that cause failure, but internal hidden dangers, I hope my brother can pay attention to this." ”
Vera, who was on the side, heard the conversation between the two, her expression was completely frozen, and the whole person entered a state of stupor, and he realized that he seemed to be involved in something terrible.
Especially the information about the artifact, combined with some rumors in the past, a terrible idea arose in Vera's heart at this time, looking at Rhodes in front of him, Vera's gaze was even hotter.
"You mean, before the final showdown, I should take the first step to clear out all the necromancers and take back the necromancers they control, right?"
"Looks like you don't understand what I mean." Hearing Rod's words, Rowling sighed, and then said: "During the time of preparation, I learned from Leah's mouth about your actions in the Shadow City, and I can only describe it as unreasonable. ”
Hearing these words, Rhodes understood that what she was talking about should be that she had cleaned up the ordinary creatures in the Shadow City because of a necromancer.
"What's wrong?" Rhodes was still a little puzzled about the content of Rowling's words, "Those are just ordinary creatures, and no one cares about them." ”
Sighing again, not continuing on the topic, Rowling said, "Sometimes, I really wish you could learn from the knighthood of Erathia. ”
"Those weak knights, is there anything worth learning from me?" Rod asked nonchalantly.
"Learn from their humility." Rowling sighed.
"You're too arrogant, brother. Arrogance is the original sin. As if thinking of something, Rowling added, "Maybe you don't understand what I mean, but I'll always help you, no matter what happens in the end." ”
Hearing Rowling's words, sensing the signal from the bloodline perception, and the feeling that belonged to Rowling, Rod's expression changed slightly, and he sighed after a while: "I don't think you understand what I mean." ”
Rod felt a little embarrassed by Rowling's words, and an unnatural look appeared on his face, but it was far from embarrassing.
Rod knows that with the existence of blood perception, Rowling can be said to know her existence best in this world, even better than Rod himself, any thought in Rode's heart, under the effect of this perception, she can know it, and Rod naturally can't refute her words.
From the very beginning, Rod understood the meaning of Rowling's words, and he didn't even need Rowling to say anything, relying on the ability to perceive blood, Rod could understand all this, but Rod would not admit it to Rowling.
Perhaps, as Rowling said, under the effect of arrogance in his heart, Rod was unwilling to admit this to Rowling, but kept making excuses to shirk it, until finally Rowling was completely pointed out, and Rod could no longer find any other excuses.
That's why Rhodes told Rowling that she didn't understand what she meant, and she was still picking faults on herself.
