Chapter 916: Participants
After all, Rod and Ruiz are not all the way—Rod is not a guardian, nor is he an observer who tries not to affect mortals, he is a freewheeling participant, with his own limited goodness, and goes his own way in Valoran.
For example, this time, after discovering that Silas has a "simple idea of equality", Rhodes is looking forward to his future experiences and choices.
It was precisely because of this expectation that Rod chose to take the initiative to release water when he conducted the "necessary tests" on Silas.
Seeing that Rod is cheating, Ruiz doesn't have much to do - he can still hold on now, since Rod likes to keep himself, then let him go on like this, maybe it's another way?
So, Ruiz simply explained all the situations that Silas might face.
The Void has its sights on Silas.
"The Void...... Prophet? Rod raised an eyebrow, "What is he doing in Demacia?" ”
"It's an old trick to use power as a promise in exchange for more people's belief in the void." Ruize's face was expressionless, "That's why I asked you to go and dispose of the forbidden magic stones quickly, if the Void Prophet knows the news of these forbidden magic stones and understands the method of transforming the forbidden magic stones into rune stones, he is very likely to use the forbidden magic stones to open an opening for the void in Demacia, in that case......"
Ruiz didn't continue, but Rod understood what he meant.
Acacia's astrologists used forbidden spells to summon the Void, but the whole of Acacia is still in ruins - and if the Runestone is used to summon the Void, Demacia's ending is no different from Acacia's.
Rod didn't want to see the Void devour everything.
"That's why you're in a hurry to transfer the Forbidden Stone......" Rhodes pursed his lips, "I'm not honest at all—I'm worried about the Demacians, but I'm still worried about the Void." ”
"It's not all an excuse, either." Ruiz corrected Rod's statement, "It is also possible that the Demacians will use these forbidden magic stones, but compared to the void that moves by the wind, it is less likely that the Demacians will do it themselves. ”
"Understood, understood." Rod waved his hand absently, "In that case, we can go to the next Forbidden Magic Stone vein point first—after helping you, I'm going to follow Silas and see what Demacia can become." ”
"So let's go to the next vein point first?"
"That's right!"
“…… We're going to have to work on it. Ruiz spread his hands a little helplessly, "Actually, the next vein of the Forbidden Demon Stone is under the city of Demacia, and I didn't leave any positioning devices there, so we may have to spend some effort to find that vein at that time." ”
Under the city of Demacia?
"It's kind of interesting."
……………………
Because Rhodes intended to get involved, Ruiz had no choice but to skip Irwindale first and deal with the next Forbidden Stone vein first.
The next Forbidden Stone Vein is different from the previous two - this Forbidden Stone Vein is located under the city of Demacia, and has always been under the control of the Demacians.
Under the control of the Demacian Illuminati, to be exact.
Silas was imprisoned in the Forbidden Prison, and the shackles in his hands were the Forbidden Stones produced from this Forbidden Stone vein - compared to the Forbidden Stone, which was made of dead wood mixed with lime for construction, the quality of the Forbidden Stone Vein was much better.
However, due to the difficulty of mining, when the Demacians built fortresses and walls, they preferred to use the Forbidden Stone, which was less effective but easy to obtain.
Originally, according to Ruiz's intentions, this operation should have been repeated - teleport to the vicinity of Demacia City, and then enter Demacia City with the help of the special certificate provided by Lucian, and then wait for the opportunity to act, seize control of the Forbidden Magic Stone Vein and get all the Forbidden Magic Stones in it.
But considering that the situation in Demacia is relatively turbulent now, after entering Demacia City, Rhodes did not immediately look for information about the forbidden magic stone vein, but went to find his old friend.
Jax.
……………………
As a martial arts instructor for Prince Gawain IV, Jax has a somewhat special position in Demacia.
On the one hand, his martial arts skills were recognized throughout Demacia, and he was highly sought after by countless warriors and nobles.
On the other hand, the flattery has been superficial – while there have been attempts to form a personal friendship with Jax, Jax's peculiar stance of wanting Demacia's help has deterred them.
At the King's banquet, Jax came straight to the point with the idea of "guarding the void and helping Shurima", which, although essentially his personal request, became a small point of contention between Govin IV and Gawain III.
Ordinary people will not easily get involved in this kind of competition.
So, after making his request, Jax was idle for a long time.
The Demacia authorities still show enough respect for Jax, but only respect.
In this case, Jax really focused on guiding Gawain IV.
Recently, due to the escape of Silas and the rise of the revolutionary army, the conflict between Gavin IV and Gavin III has become more and more intense, and he has no time to hone his martial arts skills - so Jax's mentors have become two "ladies".
"Calm down." Rig's lamp flicked away the stabbing blade, and Jax swept it, "Swordsmanship is not rigid, and skill is not deliberate - while you are looking for flaws, you are also exposing your own flaws. ”
The swept Rig's lamp forced Fiona to retreat and block, but the master's move was an opportunity between attack and defense - the next moment, the head of Rig's lamp sank, and Jax quickly entered the attack rhythm.
In the intermittent motions, Fiona could no longer maintain a perfect rhythm and had to abandon her sword and admit defeat.
"Your swordsmanship is very thoughtful." After defeating Fiona again, Jax began to summarize the battle just now, "Looking for flaws and breaking in key positions is a good battle idea, but your basic skills are not solid enough, and your movements are not coherent enough, and your outstanding talent can give you a flash of precision block, but this is only a one-time block after all, if the enemy can survive your counterattack, then you will completely fall into disadvantage in the next battle." ”
Jax's guidance was outstanding, and Fiona looked at the faceless master in front of her and nodded yes.
Then, just as Fiona was about to play another round, Jax made a rare stop.
"That's all for today—I'm going to meet a friend."
