Rowling's unkind words did not arouse any resentment in Rhodes' heart. On the contrary, through what she said, Rhodes valued her even more.
In Rhodes' view, if it were any other necromancer who dared to speak to him like this, even Elon, who had always obeyed his orders, would be punished by him. Only Rowling, Rhodes would not do this. Thoughts, but keep what she said deeply in my heart.
At this time, Rhodes remembered Rowling's original words again. Arrogance already existed deeply in his heart. At this moment, even Rhodes himself felt this.
After realizing his original state, Rhodes breathed a deep sigh of relief. Just as Rowling said, this state has affected Rhodes' judgment ability and may even affect the progress of the battle. If it is not discovered in time, As the battle continues, Rhodes may make extremely wrong decisions.
Fortunately, after being reminded by Rowling, Rhodes understood this and was able to face his thoughts.
Under the influence of blood connection, looking at Rowling in front of him, Rhodes could feel her concern for him and the warmth that was unique to blood connection.
This unique feeling cannot be provided by anything else, and it cannot be obtained by pretending. Even if he loses most of his perception ability, Rhodes can still sense this from Rowling.
"I admit that there are indeed some problems with those actions of mine, and I was wrong."
Rowling looked in disbelief when she heard what Rhodes said. Before that, she had never thought that Rhodes would admit his mistake.
According to Rowling's prediction, Rhodes was likely to end the conversation with other topics as usual. At the same time, he did not think there was anything wrong with his actions, nor did he care about his words. Unexpectedly, Such a situation occurred.
Rowling was not only surprised, but also felt happy at the same time. Rhodes' move naturally showed that he had listened to these words, and Rowling was naturally happy for him.
In Rhode's heart, as he said these words, his feelings were also different.
Arrogance stems from the emphasis on self, and the will that is originally infinitely broad and has infinite possibilities is curled up in the small concept of "I".
Because you can only see yourself in your heart, you can't pay attention to anything else. Everything in your eyes is only "what I care about". Naturally, you have no time to pay attention to the thoughts of other creatures. You feel a sense of disdain for everything that does not conform to your own thoughts. This was also the state Rhodes was in before.
Before that, apart from Rowling, the only things Rhode pursued were those related to strength. Strength is undoubtedly the thing that best reflects oneself. Rhodes' pursuit of strength is incomparably consistent with the arrogance in his heart. In the end, It affected his judgment.
Fortunately, what Rhodes cares about is not only his own strength. Rowling is also someone whom Rhodes cares about. He even cares more about her existence than the improvement of her strength.
Relying on Rhodes' concern, Rowling used her words to liberate Rhodes from his arrogant state. No one else would be able to achieve Rowling's effect.
Without Rowling's reminder, Rhodes would never have realized this.
After being pointed out by Rowling, Rhodes admitted his mistake just to give up his original arrogance. He frankly admitted his mistakes and did not look for any excuses. At this moment, Rhodes was no longer bound by previous ideas. His will seemed to have entered a wider space. For this battle at this time, Rhodes also had a lot of thoughts. Few new perspectives.
After coming back to his senses, Rhodes noticed that Rowling was looking at him with a hint of joy in her expression. At this time, she was also happy for her changes. Rhodes could clearly feel this in his heart, which was undoubtedly firm. His thoughts.
Following the instructions from blood sense, Rhodes reached out and turned Rowling's side face with erosion marks towards him, looking at the sunken purple-black marks on half of the side face, and the cheeks that had shrunk and had no blood flow, even though At this time, Rhodes still felt a pang of regret in his heart.
"You haven't answered my question yet, why don't you use the energy-taking secret method to recover? Is this what you want?" Once again, Rhodes asked Rowling his own question, hoping to get an answer from her.
Different from previous instructions, Rowling could sense a hint of concern from Rhode's words, which also made Rowling feel warm in her heart.
Holding the cold knuckles on her cheek, Rowling turned her face sideways and faced Rhodes with the intact side of her face, trying to hide the incomplete side of her face in the shadows.
"Because I want to stay in the same state as my brother. When my brother recovers, I will choose to recover."
Hearing Rowling's reply, Rhodes sighed deeply: "Why are you bothering?"
Rowling smiled: "This is my choice."
Seeing what Rowling said, Rhodes did not persuade her. He knew that if Rowling was not willing, it would be useless to say anything.
All Rhodes can do is to keep the idea of returning to human form in mind and prepare to find time to use the energy-absorbing secret method to achieve this.
According to the information that Rhodes had previously learned, the energy-absorbing secret method cannot restore the transformation of the Endless Night Ritual. It can only make the body look the same as a normal person again, but the restored body will not have the senses that humans should have.
Before that, Rhodes had been experiencing a body similar to that of a lich. Since the effect of the energy-absorbing secret method cannot restore the perception of the human body, it is just a change in form, Rhodes is not very interested in it. .
For Rhodes, with the blessing of artifacts, extremely precious high-level undead creatures can be transformed at will, and it is naturally not difficult to restore the body to its original form.
Now, since Rowling hopes to return to her previous form, Rhodes will not continue to insist on it and can restore it as soon as possible.
According to Rhodes' understanding of the energy-absorbing secret method, only a sufficient number of undead creatures can complete the restoration of form, but no other materials are needed.
The use of the energy-absorbing secret method requires a period of preparation and cannot be carried out in a place like this. Rhodes immediately gave a few instructions to Rowling, who left with satisfaction.
After leaving, Rowling will go to the mines around the Emerald City to find the space gems hidden in them and transport other necromancers.
As Rowling left, Rhodes looked at Vera aside. At this time, Rhodes was about to deal with the necromancer.
