Seeing that Sivir could defeat Zelas by biting him to death, Rod could only shake his head helplessly.

Apparently he himself said that he was Rhodes - as Shurima's most famous mercenary, Sivir wouldn't have heard of his own name, right?

Is it necessary to lie to her in this kind of thing?!

However, no matter what Rod said, Sivir did not believe that Rhodes could defeat the legendary Zelas.

How is this possible?

Even Rhodes had begun to suspect that Sivir had deliberately shown disbelief that he had repelled Zelas as a way to refuse to cooperate—but with Sivir's repeated emphasis, he finally realized the heart of the matter.

Sivir really didn't think he could defeat Zelas......

Taken for a liar!

After realizing this, Rod couldn't cry or laugh - he was not treated as a liar when he deceived people, but he was regarded as a liar when he rarely revealed his identity directly......

Don't...... Is your popularity not as high as you think?

"Do you know who I am?" In desperation, Rod looked at Sivir, then stretched out his hand and pointed at himself, "Or have you never heard of the name Rode?" ”

"Rod?" Sivir still looked confused, "Didn't you tell me your name was Rod?" How do I know what habits you have - wait! ”

Speaking of which, Sivir also realized that something was wrong - Rhodes was not a common name in any country.

Previously, when Rod introduced himself, he called himself a Zaun, so Sivir subconsciously thought that this was a name unique to Zaun.

Rhodes himself had heard of the title Sivir - Rode, the liberator of Zaun and the founder of the new order of the Two Cities, and Sivir still knew something about this title.

But the exhaustion of the continuous battles made Sivir lose the ability to think, and she subconsciously separated this Rhodes from Pirode.

Actually, if this one in front of Sivir is that Rhodes...... The previous plans weren't necessarily meaningless.

"So......" Swallowing quietly, Sivir reconfirmed, "Can you tell me your full name?" ”

"Rhodes - Rod Lothar."

Really!

At this moment, Sivir's whole person seemed to be petrified.

"You're right - actually, I think we really need to have a good talk.

……………………

The same plan, from the mouth of a nobody, is whimsical, but from the hands of Rod himself, it has endless possibilities.

In the past when he was searching for the treasure of Shurima, Sivir had dealt with the guys of the Twin Cities, and by pressing those employers, Sivir saw the bigger world.

From then on, for Sivir, the greatest pleasure in life must have been to enjoy the sensations that he would not normally get – such as going to Shurima, where there are enough antiques and monuments buried under the slow yellow sand.

Or put a large sum of gold coins in your pocket.

So, during the past "Shurima Gold Rush", Sivir, who haunts these monuments all day long, was very happy - for her, this is the greatest pursuit of life.

It is precisely for this reason that Sivir knows very well that once he wears the crown, he will lose all opportunities to try......

The king of Shurima could not leave his country behind to dig graves.

So from the very beginning, Sivir was very reluctant to take the throne - the emperor of Shurima could have many, but so far, none of these "many" were what Sivir wanted.

What a warrior of the gods, what a grudge - in the case of Sivir himself not interested in the throne, the only reason for her to choose to inherit the glory of Azir has become fate.

And the most embarrassing thing is that Sivir is a completely unbelieving person.

Contrary to his hobbies and his worldview, these two reasons doomed Sivir to not be the person Azir hoped he would be.

(Of course, Azir hadn't realized anything at this point, and he was happily talking to Nasus about Zeroth's defeat, and although they didn't know who Rod was, at least for now, he was his own.) ）

……………………

After the misunderstanding was resolved, Rod and Sivir finally got the conversation back to where it started.

Rhodes helps Sivir solve the trouble, and Sivir surrenders Shurima's authority.

The partnership seemed like a happy one – but in reality, from a third-party perspective, it was clear that Rhodes had taken advantage of it.

Yes, it is not too difficult to help Sivir solve his troubles, but Shurima's authority is so heavy and precious.

But in Sivir, it's a good deal, everyone takes what they need, you and I will.

"Mr. Rhodes." Sivir's tone was much softer than before, "Can you tell me now what that plan is—or how you plan to help me become Shurima's successor?" ”

"It's not that hard." Facing Sivir, who was getting more and more up, Rhodes' face showed a satisfied smile, "As long as that's it......"

……………………

Azir in Shurima didn't know that at this moment, his direct descendants had already begun to sell their ancestors—poor desert emperor never dreamed that for his direct descendants, the throne of the Shurima Emperor would not even be as happy as rummaging through the yellow sand ruins.

In fact, both Azir and Nasus made a similar mistake - they did experience the glory of the ancient Shurima, so in their eyes, Shurima's emperor and revival were bigger than the sky.

But for Sivir, who was born as an orphan and lived by stealing, she couldn't really imagine what a glorious Shurima was.

This serious deviation in cognition has led to huge contradictions and conflicts between the two sides, on the one hand, they naturally give the responsibility and mission to the other side, but the other side does not agree with this responsibility and mission at all......

And now, Rod has seized the opportunity, and he has come up with what Sivir craves the most.

Analytically, it's like a deal for a child – trading a stuffed animal for an electric airplane.

Although in the eyes of adults, exchanging thousands of electric airplanes for a 100-dollar plush toy is an out-and-out loser, but for children, the happiness brought by the two is the same.

That's right, the current Sivir is that child.
