Chapter 148: The Secret Room
While Rhodes and Sandra were discussing the expedition, the king was in a secret room with Crof, Pondel, and Kailas in the palace.
The room has no windows, only countless mirrors showing images of various places, and a closer look reveals that they are images of the town halls and major buildings of the various cities of the Sartre Kingdom.
No matter how big or small, no matter what anyone does, it can be easily discovered by the four kings, and now, the four of them are looking at a large mirror, watching Sandra want to kneel on the ground, but they were stopped by Rod in advance, and listening to Rod say flattering words, until Rod expressed his opinion on the female barbarians of the Barry Kingdom, everyone's faces were changing.
Professor Pondel, in particular, first saw Sandra's charming appearance, and his face became a little ugly. After Rod stopped and lectured Sandra, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and his face improved a lot. When he heard Rod compliment King Qiangu Mingjun again, his face finally returned to normal, and he nodded with satisfaction.
Count Keelas was overjoyed when he saw that Sandra wanted to sleep. After Rod stopped him, his face became a little ugly. When he heard the words of the Ancient Mingjun, he nodded with a little satisfaction. Finally, without a trace, he glanced at the mirror in a certain direction, Reg was frowning and checking the documents, and all the officials in the city were standing respectfully at the table, without a trace of fireworks, and the bloody Anluo City was completely different.
The king first looked at Sandra with appreciation, and when he saw that Sandra wanted to kneel, he was a little displeased, and when he saw Rod blocking him, he gave Rod a look that counted you as interesting. When he heard Rhodes say that the king would be assessed, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and showed a smug smile. When I finally heard the words of Rhodes through the ages, I couldn't help laughing.
"Even if this Rhodes is self-aware, he knows that this king is a Ming king."
Unlike the three of them, Master Croft didn't care about Sandra at all, but looked left and right at Rhodes, his eyes flashed with surprise, he took a sip of wine, wiped his eyes, looked again, his eyes flashed with a faint yellow light, and finally he exclaimed in a low voice: "This kid shouldn't really have dwarf blood, but even if it is counted as a dwarf, this progress is too fast." ”
Although the voice was small, the people present were not ordinary people, so they naturally heard it clearly, and based on his familiarity with Rhodes, Professor Pondel was the first to react.
"It's that this kid's magic power has improved a lot, compared to before he left the royal capital, it has increased more than three times, not only that, but the depth of magic power has not been affected, but it has been greatly improved, I'm afraid it can catch up with the magic depth of high-level mages."
Count Kailas also reacted, but his focus was different from that of Pondel: "And that kid elf rune spell, there is also a lot of progress, elves have always attached importance to art, since the appearance of the summoned object is no different from a real person, with the characteristics of elf rune spells, this should be a high-level or above feature." ”
The king didn't speak immediately, he thought for a moment, and understood Master Croft's words: "What does Master Crove mean, could it be that Rod's stone giant incarnation has made progress?" ”
Croft took another sip of wine: "The king is wise, the incarnation of the stone giant of Rod's kid is already an expert, if he is fully activated, it is difficult for conventional weapons to damage him." ”
The golden light flashed in the king's eyes, leaving a dragon-shaped phantom on the mirror: "In this way, Rod's strength has improved greatly, judging from the strength of Rhodes now, compared to the entire Storm Legion, we only think about foreign wars." ”
Count Kailas led the troops for life, and made an accurate judgment in an instant: "The king is wise, in terms of the Barry Kingdom alone, the role that Rhodes can play is already comparable to that of the Storm Legion, and he can resist the legion of the Barry Kingdom alone." However, in terms of our southern magic kingdom Alan Kingdom, Rhodes is far inferior to the Storm Legion, and even if it is against the Alan Kingdom Legion, the opponent will be able to seize the weakness of the magic summon. ”
Professor Pondel pondered for a moment, and then came to the conclusion from his own point of view: "Back to the king, although the gap between the magic technology of the countries on the continent is huge, as long as it is a kingdom, it will have a wide range of exorcism capabilities. Therefore, no matter what kingdom you are facing, as long as the enemy has a wide range of exorcism ability, I am afraid that it is far inferior to the Storm Legion. ”
The king nodded, glanced at Master Croft, and asked respectfully, "I wonder what Master Croft thinks?" ”
Croft took a sip of wine: "Difficult, with the progress of the times, the war is also advancing with the times, the superior legions of all kingdoms have large-scale exorcism abilities, and the lower legions also have different degrees of exorcism abilities, in general, the combat power of this kid Rhodes is comparable to that of the Storm Legion, but unless it can enhance the anti-demon ability of the battle puppet, it can only bully small countries." ”
The king is not stupid, he understands the meaning of Master Crof's words, magic summons are just magic summons, even if they enhance their anti-magic ability, they only improve their effect, and they can never replace real soldiers, because the exorcism ability will cause all foreign objects that do not belong to the original plane to return to their original location, and the anti-magic ability only enhances the resistance, and the summons will never be immune to exorcism.
In addition to being like the obsidian snake lizard, it can set up a super giant enchantment on its own, and block it before the power of exorcism is even there, but even the obsidian snake lizard has forbidden attacks that are impossible to resist.
A hint of regret flashed in Sartre III's eyes.
Ever since the King understood that basic runes could be used in clever combinations, he had been researching them, but it was far more difficult to do than to say.
Unlike complex runes, basic runes tend to have a single rune, and modern magisters define them as basic elements that must be combined with advanced elements to be effective, which is how 'Mana Control Runes' can enhance other spells, as higher runes almost always contain Mana Control Runes.
The in-depth application of the basic runes is a means that only the ancient magisters will learn, the ancient magisters believe that the basic runes are the key to guide them to understand the truth of the world, and only through the basic runes can they reach the root of the world, and even control the laws of the world, and the advanced runes, in the eyes of the ancient magisters, are the formulas for interpreting the basic runes.
Modern Magisters and Ancient Magisters, although they both have the name of Magister, the two are fundamentally different, modern Magus refers to the magic of ancient Magus as disordered magic, which means that the ancient technology conditions are poor, and the Magister uses spells all by conjecture and guess, and there is no inherent inheritance to follow, and can only be taught one-on-one by virtue of the master-apprentice model.
Sartre III would never give up the resources in his hands, and since the basic runes are difficult to deduce, there is no reason to let go of the card of Rhodes.
The king's eyes shone with golden light, and it was impossible for outsiders not to know what he was thinking, and after a moment, he suddenly said a word.
"The traitor Lean has confirmed that he has fled to the kingdom of Alan, and you say, what should this king do, and how can he give Rod his advantage."
