Chapter 912: Hello, Silas
Given Anne's peculiarities, the jury could not come up with a sufficiently accurate judgment in the end – this had never happened before, and in the absence of precedent, although the jury passed Anne's test in principle, she still needed to do it again.
Silas would show up in person to test Anne.
After all, Silas can temporarily steal the power of other people's runes, and it is safe for him to test it, if it weren't for the fact that Silas is so busy right now, I am afraid that there would be no need for a jury at all.
And meeting Silas is exactly what Rhodes hopes - because of the peculiarity of Silas's identity, it is not easy to meet this liberated person through normal means, and Anne pretends to be a little magician in need of help on the one hand for an upright identity, and on the other hand to be able to meet Silas.
Whether it's Lucian or Reze, they all mention this strange Demacian spellcaster, a guy who can temporarily borrow the power of other people's runes, and the Demacian Revolutionary Army can have the current momentum, that is, because of Silas's efforts, if he hadn't single-handedly killed the rock Zantia, things would have gone completely differently!
Rod's purpose is to help Ryz and ensure that Silas does not convert the Forbidden Stone into a terrible runestone explosive, and this kind of thing must depend on Silas's attitude, if Silas can really make a strong enough guarantee...... Ruiz and Rod really didn't mind giving him a little help.
……………………
When Rhodes and Anne meet the Liberator in the former Lord's Fortress, now Town Hall, his first impression of Silas is "tired".
Yes, as a spellcaster, Silas was supposed to be in good spirits - but when Rhodes saw him, he looked so tired that he might fall asleep at any moment.
The big dark circles under his eyes and the pale cyan stubble made the leader of the revolutionary army look rather unenergetic, and it was hard to imagine that it was such a listless-looking black-haired man who caused such a mess in Demacia.
"Miss Anne, right?" Silas tried to adjust himself to a position that was comfortable enough, "I've heard that you have an extraordinary talent for casting spells under the suppression of the Forbidden Stone-"
"Tibbs is not afraid of the stones." Anne hugged the bear in her arms and blinked, "Flames are not afraid!" ”
"Well said." Silas smiled a little unexpectedly, he looked at Anne again, and nodded in satisfaction, "The Forbidden Stone is the way those pigs imprisoned us, but unfortunately, things don't seem to be what they imagined. ”
It was evident that Silas valued Anne very much - he tried to get closer to Anne, but Silas didn't seem to be very good at communicating with little girls compared to the gentle Xena, and Anne looked at Silas with a wink, as if she didn't understand what he meant.
Silas blinked, feeling that he was probably exhausted, causing his brain to be a little inflexible - what was the point of the Forbidden Stone and what Anne said?
She was clearly still a child, albeit gifted.
"Okay, let's stop talking about those uninteresting topics." Silas shook his head, then stood up, "Come on, little one, let me feel your power-"
As he spoke, Silas put his hand on Anne's shoulder, and the moment he touched Anne, a surging power that he had never felt before surged—it was the power of fire, but it was completely different from the power of other flames that Silas had encountered, infinite flames filled his mind for a moment, and a terrible voice roared "you bug", which caused a very serious mental impact on him.
All along, Silas has been "borrowing" the power of other people's runes - there are many people who have borrowed the power from Silas, but these people are not the owners of world runes or secondary runes without exception.
Like Xena, she can control the growth of plants, but this comes from her knowledge and mastery of the world's rune inscriptions, and she can borrow this power, but she can't possess this rune.
Silas's borrowing doesn't actually apply to world runes and secondary runes - strictly speaking, his power "truncates and steals the target's mastery of rune inscriptions".
Rhodes had some guesses about Silas's true abilities - there were enough books on Fuguang Island, and although rune stealing was uncommon, it was quite routine compared to rune annihilation.
Theoretically, Rune Steal can steal the power of lower-level runes, in short, if you get this World Rune, you can steal any secondary runes and rune inscriptions. And if you get this secondary rune (usually rune energy steal and rune law steal, depending on the method and type of stealing), then you can steal any rune inscription.
Rhodes didn't know if Silas had gotten a secondary rune or a world rune, so he told Anne to use the Suffron Flame Rune.
That's right, this rune that once belonged to Rhodes has become Annie's power, and Tibbs still looks like a stupid Shadow Bear, but if Anne wants to, he can always roar "Die, bug" and send a large fireball with precision......
Rhodes just wanted to see if Silas could get the power of Safron's flames.
And now, judging from Silas's flushed face and distorted expression, this guy can't stand this power for the time being.
Nodding to Anne, Anne's shoulder left Silas' hand - no longer touching and attempting to sexually steal the power of the Safron Flame Rune, Silas was not in great shape right now, but at least he could speak.
"Unbelievable." Silas' voice was horribly hoarse, "What kind of power is this—I mean, do people with this power still need me to be freed?" ”
"Actually, of course not." After testing Silas's reality, Rod was finally reassured, "Looks like you're not in great shape, Mr. Silas." ”
Rod's sudden opening made Silas feel a big alarm bell - Silas is not stupid, he knows very well that now that Rhodes suddenly stood up and spoke, he had just blindly tried to absorb the power of the flames of Suffron, and he had already suffered a lot of shock, and now he suddenly faced a person of unknown strength, this is definitely not an easy thing.
Don't...... Did the Illuminati take action?
Looking at the center and the bewildered Silas, Rhodes shrugged his shoulders unhesitantly, "Don't look at me like that, I know what you're thinking - actually, I did pretend to be a member of the Illuminati, but I wasn't." ”
