Chapter 70: Rhodes and Acacia
Roder was a head taller than LeBlanc and a lot stronger - his rear-naked choke didn't use all his strength, but it was enough to stop the blood in LeBlan's neck and put him on the verge of shock.
It's not that Rhodes has to use such a violent way, it's really because in the arcane storm, his flame shackles have also been dispelled, and he has no choice but to do it.
What's more, the Arcane Storm renders all spells, circles, and magic effects in the basement temporarily ineffective - the ice on Vayne begins to melt, Draven's one-way soundproof barrier is canceled, and Rhodes releases LeBlanc after confirming that she won't die again, and then gives Wayne a deep freeze.
LeBlanc also stopped resisting - as long as he didn't blow himself up, the corpse would be analyzed, and there was no point in resisting.
On the other side, our gold medal anchor Delevingne began a crazy commentary......
"Wow, this is a crushing battle - just like every time Draven faces his opponent, poor Miss LeBlanc seems to be powerless, and even gets directly caught on the ground, losing her combat effectiveness, and the winner is Khadgar!"
Rhodes decisively reactivated the enchantment.
Taking a breath, Rod looked at LeBlanc again.
"Tell me, why do you always say that to me? What does that mean exactly? β
ββ¦β¦β
LeBlanc refused to answer.
"And why would you kill yourself β you would radically exacerbate the conflict between Noxus and Zaun β do you want to sacrifice yourself and then let Noxus take advantage of the rest of the negotiations? It's pointless, Noxus won't refuse Zaun's friendship because of you. β
ββ¦β¦β
LeBlanc remained silent.
"I really don't want to talk to Draven, his beard looks like I'm beating him, that's why I'm trying to communicate with you, if you don't cooperate like this, it's not good for everyone, why bother?"
"What's the use of cooperating?" LeBlanc finally spoke, as if because of the after-effects of naked stranding, her voice was extraordinarily hoarse, "Let the Endless Void devour Valoran faster?" β
"The Endless Void - Devouring Valoran?" Rod scratched his head, "You're talking about the Endless Void, the one from Acacia?" β
Looking at Rod's appearance, LeBlanc also narrowed his eyes slightly.
Really don't know or acting?
Void creatures aren't so good at acting, are they?
"I'm talking about the collaboration between Zaun and Noxus, what does it have to do with the Endless Void?" Rod frowned inexplicably, "Why would you say such a thing as making the Endless Void devour Valoran faster...... Wait a minute! You think I'm a Void creature? β
LeBlanc nodded silently.
Rod was dumbfounded.
Just now, the arcane storm dispelled Rod's disguise effect, and now Rhodes is facing LeBlan!
You know, Rhodes was the most handsome mage who was unanimously approved by the graduates of Violet Academy that class (as for why he thought about it himself), how could he be ugly enough to be regarded as a void creature?
Void creatures are a bunch of strange things with "beep-" faces and "beep-" faces, okay!
Rhodes felt insulted.
I reluctantly accept that I was like a void creature when I became Khadgar, and you say that I am like ...... myself Is it tolerable or unbearable!
Enraged, Rhodes tries to pick up LeBlan, and is embarrassed to find that Miss Sorcerer's mage robes have been destroyed in the Arcane Storm......
Well, Rod sighed again, LeBlanc's figure is so good!
Forget it.
Rod shook his head and gave LeBlanc his robe.
"I don't know why you have this misunderstanding, but I tell you clearly, I am a native of Zuan, the oracle of Cana, the guardian society of Zuan, and now the de facto leader of Zuan - since you have seen my true colors, I don't bother to hide it, my name is Rod."
"Rod?" The body temperature on the robes made LeBlanc suspicious, "Strange nameβcan you tell me your last name?" β
"Rod Lothar." Rod rarely sighed, "I like people to call me Rhodes, but they used to call me Little Lothar." β
LeBlanc's reckless suicide unexpectedly disrupted Rod's overall deployment, and under the arcane storm, Rhodes had to remove all his disguises - it didn't make much sense to continue to hide it, anyway, Khadgar or something, not mainly to deceive the Noxians.
Anyway, as the cooperation continues, sooner or later the Noxians will know who they are.
"I'm just trying to help my goddess and rejuvenate Zuan."
"Oh?" LeBlanc raised an eyebrow, "Tell me specifically?" β
"Well, it's nothingβisn't it just provoking the battle of the Alchemy Baron, and by the way, it has affected the Sinking Hook Mine and brought Zaun into the sight of Noxus; Exposing Noxus's eyeliner in Peel City makes you have to act; Grab you and Draven and let Svein choose to put the breakthrough on Zaun; By scaring away the alchemy baron to take over Zaun through the Noxians; Defeat Noxus for the rise of Zaun and that's it. β
Rod was open and honest, and LeBlanc was in a cold sweat.
It's scary.
This mysterious guy knows more about Zaun than you can imagine!
A plan that is bold enough and executed almost flawlessly, which is even more creepy!
Moreover, this guy says it all, apparently with more unscrupulous chips.
"Now, it's time for the next step in my plan - to free myself from Piltover with the help of Noxus, which is something that will be beneficial to both of us, so I want you to understand that I am not some ugly Void creature."
LeBlanc finally believed that Rhodes was not some of the Void.
If the Void creatures could do this...... Valoran has already fallen ten thousand times.
"Now, I want to know from you the characteristics of rune magic, after all, my spell is not the same as yours."
"The Secret ...... of Rune Magic" After learning that Rhodes is not a Void creature, LeBlanc thought otherwise, "It's simple, but I have a better suggestion." β
"Let's see."
"Zaun joins the Noxian Federation, you join the Black Rose - I swear, you will be the leader of the Black Rose."
"Even, I'm willing to accept any contract from you." LeBlanc leaned over silently and licked her tongue, "Anything...... Indenture. β
ββββββββ
Rod's background...... It's more complicated, and I'll talk about his experience in Azeroth in the side story, but now Rhodes is just a blast mage who has been badly cut by the version and has no equipment.
Void creatures are complex, they include praying mantises, big mouths, grasshoppers, big bugs, big eyes, Cassadine, and excavators (for the time being), they are relatively primitive and chaotic, constantly devouring and evolving creatures, they have biological instinct cunning, but no real planning and intelligence, so LeBlanc confirmed that Rhodes is not a void creature.
In addition, Rhodes pretended to be Khadgar mainly to avoid unnecessary trouble when he took over Zuan, after all, the name Rhodes also rings in Zuan.
