Chapter 214: Rod's Discovery
Realizing that there might not be anything useful left in the sentry, Rhodes simply turned his attention to the sentry itself.
Although there are no best books, the sentry itself is worth studying!
Merely...... It seems that because of the time, the specific material and style of the sentry itself are no longer recognizable except for the general shape - to study the sentry, Rhodes felt that he needed some help.
"Jana—come and do me a favor!"
After a gust of wind, all kinds of dirt on the surface of the sentry were blown away, and the sentry that had been dilapidated on the Shadow Island for countless years finally revealed its original face.
The light blue tower-like structure is about ten meters tall - it's more of a small mage tower than a sentry.
(To be honest, Rhodes really doesn't want to admit that this thing can also be called the Mage Tower, and Rod's storage room in the Lothar Dome in Dalaran was more technical than this "Mage Tower" - and let's look at it from another angle, in terms of defensive power, Rod estimates that this thing is not as good as the Tavern Violet Dream that he demolished himself.) )
Looking at the straight, uncurved shape of this mage tower, Rhodes touched his chin - it seems that the mages on Fuguang Island were once a group of very stubborn guys.
The architectural style is somewhat indicative of the personality of its owner, and the message that Rhodes reads from the mage tower is that the former spellcaster on Fuguang Island is probably obsessive-compulsive—the late one.
This is not a joke - both in terms of orientation and physical characteristics, this mage tower is well-behaved and has no sense of art at all, considering that this is already the core area of Fuguang Island, the reason why the mage tower is like this is definitely not "considering the possible enemy attack", so the only explanation is that the owner of the mage tower is an obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Exceptional?
Rod took Jana to inspect the other "sentry posts" around, and as expected, these were all small mage towers - although it can be seen that the owners of these mage towers are all rookies, it can be confirmed that the style of these mage towers is similar, basically all of them are regular, and there is no sense of art.
The owner of these mage towers...... It's all obsessive-compulsive disorder.
And the most likely possibility that a mage can become obsessive-compulsive is that this is a group of ascetics.
Looking at the sentry in front of him, Rod's thoughts had drifted out of the sky.
Stubborn and uninteresting.
Very few mages develop this kind of personality - even Antonidas, who is secretly a man who loves art.
Mages never deny that they are mortal, so they keep their hobbies as well.
Yes, mages can love magic, but magic is definitely not everything to mages - because mages who have this idea have long been lost in the path of magic.
So if the mages on Fuguang Island weren't all lost, then there would definitely be a deeper reason behind the matter.
If a mage refuses to add more spices to his life, it is either because he has a heavy burden on his shoulders and is in a constant state of waiting, or because his environment is full of temptations, and he has to maintain his vigilance in this way.
And the guy on Fuguang Island, in Rhodes' opinion...... The latter is more likely.
According to the legend of the Ruined King, the mages on Fuguang Island have battle mages and scholar mages, and it is reasonable for battle mages to wait for them, but this sentry obviously does not belong to battle mages.
The mages on Fukumitsu Island are a group of ascetics who seem to be suppressing their desires in a penance-mongering way.
By chance, or is it the same all over the island?
Rhodes is unknown.
After all, this batch of mage towers looks terrible, and it seems that the builders are all a group of rookies - maybe on Fuguang Island, the competition among rookie mages is fierce, and everyone doesn't have time to think about more?
Shaking his head, Rhodes ended his "crankiness" - in order to understand the past of Fuguang Island, Rhodes still needs more observations and more evidence, relying only on a few mage towers that do not enter the flow to draw conclusions blindly, even if the reasoning is correct, the result may not be accurate.
But in any case, these special "mage towers" still made Rod have some different thoughts.
Even if you kill those undead, you can't let your guard down!
……………………
After everyone had rested, Rhodes and his party set off again.
This time, everyone did not choose to lie on Maokai's hands and be lazy, but walked forward together.
After all, we're in the heart of the Isle of Shadows, and behind the hazy black fog, no one knows what's hidden there—so you'd better be careful.
The thick-skinned Mokai walked at the front, Rhodes was in charge of the rear, Yorick's undead companions protected the flanks of the group, and Lucian, Jinx, and Zoe were protected from the most central position, and the group cautiously made their way towards the center of the Shadow Isle.
