After putting away the green space gem, Rowling seemed to have thought of something and sighed deeply. At the same time, Rhodes could feel Rowling's concern for him.
This kind of worry has deeply existed in Rowling's heart. Rhodes had noticed it long ago. In order to lead the necromancers to capture the Emerald City as soon as possible, Rhodes didn't care at that time. He only thought that Rowling was careful about this. As a result of the battle, it was only then that Rhodes realized that Rowling was worried about something else.
"What's wrong?"
Noticing the abnormality in Rowling's heart, Rhodes took the initiative to ask after coming to her side.
Rowling raised her hand and brushed the bones on Rhode's body with her fingers. Unfortunately, without flesh and blood as support, Rhode could not feel any touch, but she heard Rowling say: "You have changed a lot."
Rhodes was a little confused and asked: "Are you referring to the change in body shape? This is just a normal effect of the endless night ritual. If I hadn't interrupted the ritual in time, you would have ended up like this."
As he said that, Rhodes seemed to think of something: "Speaking of which, why haven't you recovered from the traces of death energy erosion on your body? Relying on the effect of the energy-taking secret method, the time I asked other necromancers to prepare should be enough for you. back to normal."
This is what makes Rhodes confused. Compared with before, Rowling's condition has not improved at all. In fact, due to her laissez-faire, the erosion has become more serious, and she is almost approaching the state of those senior necromancers.
The traces of corrosion on Rowling's body were undoubtedly something that Rhodes did not want to see. Because of this, Rhodes took the initiative to ask.
Without answering Rhode's question immediately, Rowling shook her head and explained her original words:
"What I'm referring to is not the change in physical form, but your mental state."
Hearing Rowling's words, Rhodes looked interested, wondering what Rowling would say next. He was always willing to listen to Rowling's words. If it were another creature, he might not be able to listen at all. There is such an opportunity.
"After returning from the water elemental plane, you began to become arrogant and did not take anything in your eyes."
Rhodes said nothing, just looking at Rowling in front of him, wanting to hear her next words.
"This mental state is causing you to lose your ability to judge in the past. Take the battle just now. In the past, you would have explored the situation in the Emerald City in advance, instead of directly releasing meteor fire like you do now. rain."
Hearing Rowling's words, Rhodes felt a little helpless. Before that, he had asked vampires to explore the situation in the Emerald City, but no abnormalities were found at that time. For fear of attracting the attention of the creatures inside, Rhodes did not The vampire was not allowed to test further.
"No matter what, the outcome of this battle is the same. I can only say that the spell cast by the elves was so confusing that even I didn't notice it for a while." Recalling the original situation, Rhodes could only answer this way .
Hearing that Rhodes was still defending, not realizing his mistake at all, Rowling shook her head: "Perhaps in your opinion, the enemies you are facing now are not as powerful as those creatures in the water elemental plane. , but that’s not a reason for you to look down on them.”
"Apart from the enemies, I'm afraid the necromancers who entered Eli are also not taken seriously by you. That's right. In your opinion, those necromancers are just everywhere, and there are as many as they need."
Speaking of this, Luo Lin said seriously: "Although the power of the artifact is powerful and can bring you great help, the failure is often not caused by the powerful enemies on the front, but the hidden dangers inside. I hope my brother can pay attention to this. "
Vera, who was on the side, heard the conversation between the two, and his expression had completely froze, and his whole person entered a sluggish state. He realized that he seemed to be involved in something terrible.
Especially the information about the artifact, combined with some past rumors, a terrible idea arose in Vera's mind at this time. Looking at Rhodes in front of her, Vera's eyes became even more intense.
"You mean, before the final battle comes, I should first clean up all the necromancers and take back the corpse witches they control, is that right?"
"It seems you didn't understand what I meant." After hearing Rhode's words, Rowling sighed, and then said: "During the preparation period, I learned about your role in Shadow from Leah. I can only describe the behavior in the city as unreasonable."
After hearing these words, Rhodes understood that what she was talking about should be the fact that he had cleaned up the ordinary creatures in the City of Shadows because of a necromancer.
"What's wrong?" Rhodes was still a little confused about the content of Rowling's words, "Those are just ordinary creatures, no one cares about them."
Rowling sighed again and did not continue on this topic. "Sometimes, I really hope that you can learn from the knights of Erathia."
"What do those weak knights have that I can learn from?" Rhodes asked nonchalantly.
"Learn their humility." Rowling sighed.
"You are too arrogant, brother. Arrogance is the original sin." As she said that, she seemed to have thought of something, and added: "Maybe you don't understand what I mean, but I will always help you, no matter what happens in the end. .”
Hearing Rowling's words, sensing the signal coming from the blood connection, and the feeling that was unique to Rowling, Rhodes' expression changed slightly, and after a while he sighed: "I don't think you understand either. I mean."
Rhodes felt a little embarrassed when Rowling said this, and an unnatural look appeared on his face, but it was far from embarrassing.
Rhodes knew that as a being with blood-related perception, Rowling could be said to be the one who understood him best in the world, even better than Rhodes himself. Under the influence of this perception, she Everyone knew it, so Rhodes naturally couldn't refute her words.
From the beginning, Rhodes understood the meaning of Rowling's words. He didn't even need Rowling to say anything. With the ability of blood perception, Rhodes could understand all this, but Rhodes would not admit it to Rowling. .
Perhaps as Rowling said, under the influence of arrogance in his heart, Rhodes was unwilling to admit this to Rowling, but kept making excuses to shirk it, until Rowling finally pointed it out completely, and Rhodes could no longer find any other Excuse.
Because of this, Rhodes told Rowling that she failed to understand what he meant and was still finding fault with herself.
