Chapter 232: Compromise

The silent Rod pondered for a long time, the confused Lucian and Mokai were confused, and Jana was listening to Jinx's jokes—in a sense, the matter was a private affair for Rod and Yorick.

The negotiations between the two men lasted for a long time, and it was a long time before Rod completed the final communication with Yorick.

Both sides eventually made some compromises.

Rhodes needs to bring some of the core books on the Isle of Shadows to Ryze, while the rest is at Rhodes' disposal.

Sounds like Rhodes is making a lot of money, right?

But you know, Rhodes doesn't have a system that can memorize quickly, and arcane wisdom also has a certain limit to the enhancement of memory, and now in the face of the lack of knowledge of order in the entire Shadow Island, Rhodes wants to sort them out......

Hehe.

Imagine you're in a huge library with your original final exam questions here, but all the books are unnamed and the table of contents is a mess – can you find what you're looking for?

Although it is said that "all this knowledge belongs to Rhodes", how much can Rhodes use?

There are very few of them, and if Rhodes wants to use this knowledge, the time it takes to sort it out before can be said to be astronomical.

So, what is Yorick's purpose in doing this?

It's very simple, pass on the True Knowledge Sect.

The doctrine of the Cult of True Knowledge is to protect and pass on all forms of knowledge – magic is but a by-product of knowledge.

Here, when it comes to the "preservation of knowledge", everyone often has a misunderstanding - is it that the Zhenzhi sect has monopolized knowledge, denied access to the public, and carried out "museum-style" storage?

That's not true.

The Cult of Truth is not the kind of sect that doesn't share knowledge – at least, according to Yorick, the doctrine of the Cult of Truth is to "bring all knowledge to where it should be."

Yorick believed that whenever Rhodes wanted to use that knowledge, he had to organize it – and in the process, he would take it where it was supposed to be.

As for whether Rhodes will use this knowledge to do something not so good......

First, those forbidden knowledge had been guarded by Hammerstone before, and after the outbreak of the curse of the Ruined King, almost all of those knowledge and relics were destroyed, and Rhodes could hardly find "evil knowledge".

Second, Rode's letter to Rhyz also means that Rhodes has entered Rhyd's sight, and Yorick feels that this is an insurance that Rhodes will teach him to be a man if he really has any bad thoughts.

Combining these two things, Yorick felt that handing over the legacy of Shadow Isle to Rhodes was not a bad thing - at least it was better than being in Maude Caesar's hands now.

As for Rod, he also has his own considerations for agreeing to these conditions.

He understood what Yorick meant.

If Rhodes wants to gain knowledge, he must organize it, and Yorick's request is to let Rhodes sort out this knowledge, and if it is not surprising, Yorick will find some knowledge that Rhodes may be very interested in beforehand, and tempt Rhodes with this.

But Rhodes ...... That's all there is to eat!

Anyway, it's a legacy of the Age of Magic!

It's exciting to think about!

Is there anything more exciting for a mage than the legacy of this magical age?

Have it?

As for finishing ......

Yorick is really outdated - at least in Piltover, there are hundreds of patents for automatic sorting of books, and all of them have their own ideas, and Rhodes could have purified Shadow Island back to Fuguang Island in an easier way, and then turned it into his own mage tower and library!

When the time comes...... Gee!

It's drooling just thinking about it!

In this way, two people with their own ideas came to an agreement.

There is no contract here, in a sense it is a gentleman's agreement - but in order to prevent one party from breaking the contract, after purifying the Shadow Island, Yorick will first provide Rhodes with the water of life, and then Rhodes will bring the news to Rhyd, and Yorick will fully open all the rights of the Shadow Island to Rhodes after meeting Rze.

Perfect!

……………………

As the final battle on Shadow Island was about to begin, Rhodes' squad finally completed the final reorganization.

Rhodes for survival, Cana for Rhodes, Jinx for trouble, Lucian for revenge, Mokai for rejuvenation, and Yorick for the sect, all have different goals, but the goals are surprisingly the same.

Kill Maudecaesar and his army of the undead.

Yorick summoned the ghouls, Lucian had his guns ready, Jinx was already covered with chains of exploding saplings, Mokai was the shield at the front, Rhodes was in control, and Jana was ready for the final blow - after a night's rest, the next day the group finally set off and began to advance towards Maudecaesar's last dreadnought.

Then, before they could go far, a large number of undead blocked their way.

Due to the passage of time and the erosion of negative energy, the faces of these undead have long been blurred, but most of them are wearing the same robes as Rhodes' current style.

Obviously, these are former Mages of the Sect of Truth.

The raging undead swarmed up like a tidal wave after spotting Rhodes and his party—and Rhodes looked at their robes and silently canceled the spell.

Cleaning up the undead Safron Flame could have done it - but that would be a bit of a hassle.

This cloak of resistance has a pretty good insulating effect on the flames of Safron, and although it does not provide complete protection, it can make the consumption of Rhodes more severe when casting spells.

For Rod, burning these undead outweighed the cost.

(In layman's terms, it's just too much of a blue.) )

So, at Rod's motion, Jinx raised his grenade launcher.

"Hey, hey, try Jinx!"

Yesterday, Jinx made a series of modifications to his grenade launcher, redesigning the reloader, and now the grenade launcher can fire shells on the chain.

Mokai, on the other hand, used twisted branches and explosive saplings to create several long chains overnight, perfect for Jinx's new grenade launcher.

So, after a shout of excitement from Jinx, a continuous stream of exploding saplings appeared in front of the undead.

The powerful momentum caused these unstable saplings containing life energy to rush into the formation of the undead, and exploded directly after the undead didn't even react.

So, in just two minutes, Rhodes saw Jinx empty five chains—and in front of the group, there were craters left by the explosion of the saplings.

Jinx + Mokai, this combination is terrifying!
