Relying on the existence of blood connection, Rowling also roughly understood Rhodes' thoughts, so she replied:
"Vita's elemental core was placed in the City Lord's Mansion together with the container. I can take it out now if necessary."
After hearing what Rowling said, Rhodes shook his head: "It's not needed yet."
After saying that, Rhodes looked at Elrond aside: "I can use magic rituals to restore this monster hero to the state of a death knight, but it doesn't seem to have much to do with you. You have to understand, Wei Tower is already my death knight.”
Elon naturally understood what Rhodes meant, and would not use the agreement he had made in Silver Cliff City to ask Rhodes in his current state.
Elon knew that the agreement with Rhodes had long since ended. Although the monster hero Vita was successfully transformed, an accident happened at the last moment. He was not controlled by him, but was controlled by Rowling who was standing aside.
Up to now, Elon himself has no confidence, and he successfully asked Rhodes to meet the monster hero Vita. According to what Elon perceived, Rhodes' strength has far exceeded his own, and it seems reasonable to be rejected by him. .
Elon believed that if he used his past friendship with Rhodes, he might have a chance to meet Vita. When Rhodes and his party were in Silver Cliff City, even if the transformation ceremony ended up with an accident, he accepted the result. Elon did not punish Rhodes and his party, thus avoiding a conflict.
However, if you only rely on the past friendship, it may not take long for this friendship to be exhausted. This is a situation that Elon does not want to see, and I believe that Rhodes will not allow anyone to influence him. The death knight under his command, by then, Elron may really not be able to see Vita again.
For this reason, Elon said to Rhodes: "As of now, I don't have any treasures that I can get, and the only few items I have are lost in the Magic Academy. The only thing that is still valuable is myself. .”
Ailon straightened his expression, knelt down on one knee, and said solemnly: "I, Edmund Ailon, am willing to swear allegiance to the supreme lord of this place, Ghost Dragon Knight Rhodes."
"My power will turn into the sharpest weapon in your hand, carry out the will in your heart, sweep away all obstacles on your way forward, and will not be moved by your own desires. I will dedicate all the ideas in my heart to the title of My own wisdom, exhausting everything I know, will not hold anything back. I will be loyal to you until the end of my life."
Ailon's words came to his ears, and Rhodes' expression did not change.
Rhodes never felt that an oath would have much binding force on people, just like Rhodes never used an oath to hold himself accountable.
In Rhode's view, perhaps some real knights can always stick to their oaths and even regard them as their own will, but most creatures will not take their oaths to heart in the face of greater interests, especially It's a being like Elon.
According to the information that Rhodes knows, Elon may have really had the potential to become a knight in the past. Even now, his oath of allegiance is also the same as that of the Erathian Knights, but his final choice was to be in Bra Kadazhong learned spells and became the lord of Silvercliff City. Finally, he learned spiritualism on his own.
In terms of his own potential, Elon may not be as good as some real heroes, especially those like Rowling who have strong learning talents, but relying on his own learning, Elon finally mastered these powers.
Similarly, while mastering these powers, it also exposed some problems in Elrond. Elrond never took the original rules of these forces to heart. To put it nicely, he is quick-thinking. To put it harshly, this is right. These forces are utterly disloyal.
Even when he was the lord of Silvercliff City, Aron secretly united with the necromancer to achieve his own goals. Although this was related to the decaying environment of Brakada, it also showed that Aron obviously did not teach him the magic of Brakada. Kada took it to heart.
Rhodes didn't seem to care about this. He looked at Elrond beside him, raised his hand and said, "I accept your allegiance."
In view of Elon's identity as a necromancer, Rhodes did not accept Elon's allegiance with just one action like the traditional cumbersome etiquette.
The purpose of Elrond's loyalty to Rhodes was more for the death knight Vita. Both of them knew this.
Compared with the death knight's spiritual mark that is difficult to break, the oath of ordinary creatures is undoubtedly weaker by several levels.
Rhodes didn't care whether Elon could really abide by his oath. All he needed was Elon's act of loyalty to him and it would play a sufficient role in the construction of the territory.
Rhodes believed that with his own strength and the death knight Vita still controlled by Rowling, Elrond would not dare to do anything unusual in the territory.
For Elon himself, what is happening now is the best result he can imagine. The necromancer will not bring any favors to other creatures for no reason. If he wants to see Vita, he must do this.
On the sidelines, Rowling did not see the various thoughts between Rhodes and Elon, and was still happy that Rhodes had gained Elon's allegiance.
Rowling had a good impression of the former Lord of Silvercliff City, including the information she mentioned about Ailon when chatting with Vita, which also gave Rowling a deeper understanding of Ailon.
What made Rhodes a little concerned was the oath that Elon used when taking the oath. In Rhode's impression, although Elon's previous words were a kind of knight's oath of allegiance, they were obviously different from the knight's oath that players knew in previous games.
Rhodes recalled that the knight's oath in the previous game emphasized the eight virtues of a knight: honor, humility, bravery, justice, honesty, faith, mercy, and sacrifice.
In Erathia at that time, these eight virtues became the creed of almost all knights. Even knights who were not aware of the existence of these eight virtues would be deprived of their status as knights.
Even if the knight does not recognize any of the eight virtues in his heart, he will not show it, let alone a particularly important occasion like swearing allegiance. The knight will mention it repeatedly in the process. , for fear that others will find loopholes in their own words.
And this is one of the changes caused by the current Griffin Hart of Erathia, Griffin Heart King, after he took office.
A battle known as the "War of Virtue" among the bards broke out in Erathia with the new king's taking office, which had an extremely serious impact on the knights of Erathia.
