Chapter 1000: The Hungry Void
Dropping the light spell and picking up the flame spear, Rhodes started a matchless battle among the swarms - don't get me wrong, although it looks like Rhodes is carrying a spear to poke the Void Worms to death, but in fact, Rhodes did all this by relying on time chrysalis after hanging himself with a buff.
And the purpose of this is ...... It's not that Rhodes is pretending, it's that he's afraid to wake up the void.
Acacia's Void is subtle.
Theoretically, Acacia's Void is the closest to Valoran - in Freljord, Rhodes would need to be in free fall for several minutes in the Wailing Abyss to barely reach the Void, but in Acacia, if it's not safe, you can see the Void in five seconds if you jump down at the hernia.
(Of course, a hernia is the mouth of the Void, and entering the Void from a hernia is basically a matter of death - especially if you accidentally induce the will of the Void.) )
But unlike Freeljord, Acacia's Void is "dead" - at the end of the Battle of Acacia, Holok's Underworld Blade pierces the Heart of the Void.
Rhodes easily found a lot of useful information about the differences between Freljord and Acacia - for example, the Void was not on this plane, and in order to invade Valoran, it often needed a Vanguard officer.
This vanguard may be the Heart of the Void, or it may be the Void Watcher.
For now, Acacia doesn't seem to have the vanguard's intentions.
Why, then, is it that so long after the Battle of Acacia, there are no new Vanguard officers here?
On the one hand, because there is no one to call the Void directly, and on the other hand, because the Void is hungry.
That's right, in Acacia, the Void is hungry.
"Look at these creatures." After cleaning up all the swarming void creatures, Rhodes dispersed the flame spear and half-crouched, "Can you find something on them?" ”
With the help of light, the four of them carefully examined the severed limbs on the ground—after a moment's view, Silas finally noticed a little doorway.
"The structure of these guys...... Much like a camel with tentacles? ”
"You guessed it." Rod nodded, "It's a pity that there is no reward." ”
As for why it looks like a camel, Rhodes did not explain, but several people knew it in an instant.
"So, whatever they devour, it will easily turn into a food tasting, and this is the most terrifying thing about the Void, far more difficult to deal with than quantity."
"But why are the Void Worms here able to eat camels?" Silas looked at the corpses of these Void Worms and frowned tightly, "We've walked all the way, and after passing through the Karik Segobi, there is no trace of a camel anymore......"
"Because somebody is feeding them." Rod looked up at Silas, "Remember the story I told you?" In Acacia, it was someone who communicated with the Void in the first place, and that led to everything happening—and there were people who were willing to throw themselves into the Void thousands of years ago, and there will be now. ”
“…… Are they crazy? Silas's tone was full of disbelief, "It's no good for everyone to let this kind of thing out!" ”
"Not everyone understands the true face of the Void." In his tone, Rhode said, "Isn't it hard to imagine that many people have made offerings and sacrifices, but they don't know what they are worshipping?" ”
"You're saying that someone is using various names to trick others into feeding the Void?" Silas's tone finally lowered completely, "What's the name?" ”
"Like the sacrifice of the earth." Rhodes shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "A little trick is enough, luring the Void to devour a village, and then jumping out and saying that this is the punishment of the earth, and naturally there are people who are sincerely afraid to avoid disaster - those who are frightened don't know that the livestock they sacrifice is actually pushing the world to destruction." ”
“……”
"So wisdom is a very important thing." Rhodes stood up, "Keeping the people ignorant means giving up the right to explain many things directly, and the same is true of Demacia now, turning magic into a taboo, and everything about magic can easily cause panic." ”
“……”
"Alright, alright." Seeing that the faces of several people were not very good, Rhodes waved his hand and stopped complaining about Demacia, "Now you understand why I'm in a hurry, right?" There are already people trying to summon the Void, which is not a common occurrence - and I even have reason to suspect that the Void has reappeared with a Prophet. ”
"Prophet?" Lux blinked, a little surprised by Rod's words, "What's that?" ”
"Greeting the Void." Sighing, Rhodes began to move on, "Every time the Void Prophet appears, the Void will cause great damage to Valoran, and this time...... Demacia almost got hit. ”
"You're alarmist." Quinn raised an eyebrow, "There's no trace of the Void in Demacia—"
"But Demacia almost went to war with Noxus." Rhodes interrupted her directly, "And war is the best breeding ground for the Void - think about it, when war is scorching, someone claims to have found a terrible power, this power is enough to bring the war to an end, how many people will refuse at this time?" After all, that means the lads don't need to keep fighting each other, does it? ”
All four looked at Rhodes with some stiffness.
"And then—" Not paying the slightest attention to the four people's gazes, Rhodes continued as he walked, "As long as the Void is this kind of power, the Empire that kills the Red Eye won't mind using a little unconventional means, will it?" ”
"These ...... It's just your speculation! Quinn clenched his fists, "Unfounded speculation, alarmist speculation!" ”
"Is this speculation as well?" Rhodes finally turned around and placed Vladimir's bloody clothes in front of the four of them, "Why do you think the Noxians stopped the war?" That's because I killed Vladimir - if you had spies in Noxus and you got together and found out that Trist and Graves were now wanted in Noxus because they were undercover at the time! ”
The four of them were startled by the sudden outburst of Rhodes.
"Also, do you think the Noxians were going to provoke war in the first place? I'm sorry, but the battle is just wishful thinking on the part of the Lord of Kilgofo, move your brains, Gavin III was assassinated, and the Lord of a land suddenly disobeyed the central government's order to take the lead in the war, if you don't realize that this is someone deliberately provoking it, then I should probably just leave you here! ”
“……”X4
"But......" After a long silence, Silas finally spoke again with some hoarseness, "why don't you just tell us these things?" ”
"When you were in Demacia?" Rod raised his eyebrows, "I'll say it directly, will you believe it - I'm afraid you'll treat me as the black hand who stirred up the war in the first place, right?" ”
At this moment, Silas was speechless.
