Chapter 364: Valoran's Outsider
Avinia didn't really understand what Rhodes said.
As a demigod, Avinia really couldn't understand these technical words in Rhodes' mouth - what is "the power of corrupted runes"?!
The power of runes, Avinia, understands, but what does corruption mean?
You know, in Valoran, the power of the runes is in the hands of the first person to possess this power - Orn thumped the earth to create the primordial flame, so he is the owner of the fire rune; Avinia flapped her wings and rolled up the Ice of the Primordial, so she is the owner of the Frost Rune; Volibel's roar called out to the primordial thunder, so he was the owner of the Thunder Rune......
Although Orn created the Primordial Flame by hammering the earth, there were people who had set foot on the earth long before him, so he didn't have the Earth Rune - but because he made the first mountain, he had a secondary rune of the Earth Rune, the Mountain Rune.
The World Rune is like a "patent given by Valoran's will", always rewarding the first person to develop some kind of power.
In this case, the power of the corrupted runes sounds like a fantasy.
But Rhodes knew very well that the power of runes was not immutable, and as long as he tried, there were always ways to snatch the power of runes from the hands of others.
When he first arrived in Valoran, Rhodes didn't have any runic powers—he could use magic, but that came from hard training in Azeroth, and had little to do with runic powers.
But when he met the Sun Divine Messenger, Rhodes could already use a little bit of Valoran's arcane power - although Rhodes did not have arcane runes, at that time, Rhodes already had the ability to "dig into the wall".
In response to this, Rhodes also crossed some classics when he was on Fuguang Island, and according to the records on Fuguang Island, the power of runes can be deprived.
There are many ways to deprive runes of their power.
There are those who use sealing methods like Ruiz - the simplest and most crude way, defeating the original rune owner, and then sealing the world rune; There are those who use inheritance methods like the giant god peak star spirit - turning the world rune into a rune mark to temporarily give it to the user and the inheritor, and when necessary, the mark will be withdrawn, and the user and the inheritor will lose the power of the rune; In the end, it is corrupted like the Ruined King - the snake swallows the elephant and gradually expands its control over a certain rune power, and then "squeezes out" the owner of the original rune power.
Remember the Rundown King on the Isle of Shadows?
For the sake of the Death Rune, the Ruined King has been carefully preparing for countless years, stealing the secondary runes of the Death Rune one after another, and then giving the secondary runes to others on the Shadow Island in the form of rune marks, and then using this to expand his influence in the Death Rune realm, trying to carry out a "snake swallowing elephant".
Although the ending of the ruined king is to be beaten by Qianjue, to be honest, if there is no Rhodes's intervention, there is a little chance of his success, and if he really grasps the initiative of the death rune, Qianjue who does it on Shadow Island will also be very troublesome.
As an outsider to Valoran, the Frost Watchers have similar actions to those of the Ruined King.
Like Rod, these hapless children who came to Valoran from nowhere too have the power of frost - but alas, they arrived a little late, and the frost runes are already in Avinia's hands.
In this case, the Frost Watchers were not discouraged, they took advantage of Avinia's open-mindedness, studied Valoran's rune laws, and at the same time gave the frost power they possessed to the Ice Bloodline in the form of bloodlines, in order to occupy a greater initiative in the frost runes.
As the owner of the Frost Rune, Avinia could sense that something was wrong—but alas, she didn't realize where it was coming from.
In Avinia's mind, the return of the Frost Watchers might be troublesome, but it wasn't too difficult to beat them herself.
Avinia didn't realize that if the Frost Watchers did return, it would be hard to say who would hang whom.
You know, Avinia, Orn and Volibel are relatively open to the world's runes, in addition to Volibel's favor of the bear-people, Avinia's frost power and Orn's fire power as long as someone wants to use it, and has the ability to communicate the rune power, Avinia and Orn are very happy to give rune marks and share rune power - anyway, after the caster dies, the rune mark will automatically dissipate.
But what if all the casters were other people's followers?
Once the caster becomes someone else's follower, the result of the open-world rune sigil is ...... Give away the power of the world's runes to others.
Of course, and more importantly, Avinia is the weakest of the three demigods of Freljord, and in order to maintain her form, she needs to perform Ice Nirvana.
And Ice Nirvana is the best chance for the Frost Watchers, at that time Avinia was weak and lacked protection, the Frost Watchers could take advantage of this time to plunder the runes, but during the Ice Nirvana, Avinia did not have any ability to resist!
This time, in order to win Avinia's support, Rhodes also fought hard - he laid out the facts, reasoned, and told Avinia everything he knew, recorded on Fuguang Island, and circulated in Freeljord (in fact, he saw it in the background information), and little by little helped the demigod analyze the plans of the Frost Watchers, and then gave the worst possible scenario.
"So, the worst possibility is that the Frost Watchers are using Lisandro to expand their influence, once Lisandro unites Freljord, then all the Freljords will become the actual believers of the Frost Watchers, and the frost power you give them for free will be taken by the Frost Watchers for their own use, and the result is that the Frost Watchers will become stronger and stronger until you master the Frost Runes while you are in Nirvana."
Rhodes came to his conclusion, which was so terrible that Avinia wanted to shudder.
In the whole process of reasoning, Rhodes did not have a lot of evidence, but this did not prevent the reasoning itself - because logic is the best evidence.
Rod's story is indeed a "possibility", but there is nothing wrong with these possibilities, and if the Frost Watcher does this, then there is a real possibility that Avinia's ice rune is really wrong!
In this case, how could Avinia not be afraid!
