Ruiz talked a lot, and Rhodes asked a lot—between questions and answers, Rod had a clearer and deeper understanding of Valoran.

And after Rod himself thought about it carefully, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid.

How exactly was Fukuko Island destroyed?

Because Maudecaesar and the Ruined King?

That was just the primer and the fuse - the crucial question was why the defenders of Fukumitsu Island had left.

Hekarim and his Knights are good, but it is almost impossible to destroy a powerful mage stronghold.

Now it seems that the key at that time was that the garrison of Fuguang Island was extremely empty at that time.

Where are the battle mages who guarded Fuguang Island?

Star spirits, or demigods?

And what role does Ruiz play in this?

Rhodes, who was born in Dalaran, knows better than anyone how terrible a complete mage group stronghold is, not to mention the dense mage towers on Fuguang Island - and this is such Fuguang Island, but under the joint efforts and tacit understanding of some big people, it was quietly erased, leaving only a dilapidated Shadow Island.

"You're nervous." Noticing the subtle change in Rod's expression, Ruiz sighed, "Are you thinking about Fuguang Island?" ”

"That's right." Now that Ruiz found out, Rhodes no longer hid it, "What is the destruction of Fuguang Island?" I don't believe that a simple curse can wipe out a huge magical community. ”

"The people of Fuguang Island...... Touched the shadow of the base rune. Ruiz sighed a little helplessly, "That's a group of truly genius mages, they came up with the rune construction method from a large number of experiments, and then further deduced the 'possible conjecture that can produce the rune construction method', one of the widely accepted conjectures is that 'there is a foundation that makes up the runes of the world'." ”

“……”

Rod was dumbfounded.

"The group of mages even used rune construction to create a large number of secondary runes, and then occasionally tried to reverse the properties of the base runes, and their experimental ideas were clear and unambiguous, and they successfully described the characteristics of the basic runes theoretically, even though they had never seen the basic runes."

"If these mages are allowed to find the basic rune, they may not get a way to perfectly control its power, in fact, the rune construction method is already the key to using the basic rune, they do not directly use the energy of the basic rune, but rely on the rules of the basic rune to create new runes, to be honest, this method has almost no other drawbacks except for causing serious rune pollution."

"Then why was Fuguang Island destroyed?" Rhodes was even more confused, "If that's the case, doesn't that mean that we can properly use the power of the basic runes without being affected by them?" ”

"It was good at first." Ruiz's tone became heavy, "The power of the witchcraft runes they first demonstrated, the elementals and the magic - they used the laws of this basic rune to construct a series of secondary runes that covered Fuguang Island with a magical barrier. ”

"Isn't that great?" Rod touched his chin, "If this barrier is based on basic runes, it doesn't need people to maintain it at all, and it can continue to play a protective role, which is great!" ”

"That's a good barrier indeed." Ryze nodded, "But...... They soon became not satisfied with this magical barrier, and began to try to use the power at their disposal to understand everything. ”

"Know everything?" Rod clearly didn't understand what Rez meant, "What are you talking about?" ”

"The mages of Fuguang Island have started to collect all the magic items." Ryze organized his words, "Then analyze the principles of magic on all magical items, and no one refuses—the self-confident mages have ignored my warnings, they have come into contact with demons, they have come into contact with the Void, they have come into contact with many beings who should not have been in contact with them......"

Rhodes somewhat understood.

There is no doubt that mages who are able to study the construction of runes can be called geniuses - but these geniuses are too big because of their self-confidence.

"There are mages who make certain deals with demons; Some mages became prophets of the void; Some mages try to break the boundaries between life and death; Some mages have seen the greater existence of the Boundless Universe - and the Titan Star Spirits seem to be afraid of this - and most terrifyingly, some mages are even beginning to be dissatisfied with relying on the basic runes and building them to gain power, they have begun to desire to find the basic runes and directly use the source of this power. ”

"In this case, I can't sit idly by and warn again, because if they are allowed to develop any longer, there may be a day when even I will not be able to control the situation."

"Again, they rejected me."

"I still remember the fervent eyes that ignored my words and tried to invite me to join them, but the whole time, they stared at my scrolls."

"I didn't dare to use any power related to the basic runes, so I could only leave Fuguang Island in a hurry, and the fanatical mages even started chasing me, hoping to get my scroll ......"

Rhyz didn't go on—and Rod didn't ask any more.

At this point, everything is already clear.

Touching his chin, Rod finally shook his head.

From the perspective of an onlooker, Rhodes couldn't tell if Ryze's choice was right or wrong - in fact, Rhodes knew exactly what it would mean when the mage's curiosity and self-confidence were infinitely expanded.

That means that no one will be able to restrain them, they will do whatever they want and be unscrupulous.

The evil in human nature can cause far more damage than the creation that good can cause.

Even if Ruiz didn't say it, Rhodes could guess many of the phenomena in Fuguang Island - the demons dancing wildly, the strength is respected, and the deception is all pediatric.

The only pity is that when the curse of the Ruined King broke out, most of the suffering on Fuguang Island were good mages - they did not chase Ruiz in pursuit of power, but they were invaded by the curse of the Ruined King and became the walking dead on the Shadow Island.

As for those who chased Ruiz away.

It seems that they proved with their lives the price of hubris.

Rhodes no longer had any doubts, and he looked up at Ryze, the mage in front of him with a pained expression.

Obviously, the death of those mages was also an unacceptable thing for him.

But that's what a Guardian does, and in a sense, it's hard for Ryze to act with his likes and dislikes, and he can only be cautious under the heavy responsibility, even if he decides to make himself miserable, he still has to do it.
