After arranging the Lich's matters, Rhodes returned to Saou City.
Before heading to Erathia, Rhodes had one last thing to solve.
Returning to the deserted Soul-Calling Tower, Rhodes knocked on the door of a quiet room.
The door opened, and Margaret inside had been waiting here for a long time.
"I already understand what happened to you." The short old woman in gray said, "But further examination is needed to confirm."
Rhodes nodded, and Inota, who returned to the city early, had already informed the magician in front of him of the changes in his body.
Inota's notification was not even needed. The sorcerer had been prepared earlier.
Sitting down in the quiet room, Rhodes opened his eyes according to Margaret's request, revealing the gray and turbid eyeballs in them.
"Well..." Opening Rhode's eyelids with her hand, Margaret groaned. Her voice was very hoarse, but her expression was extremely solemn. "Your eyeballs are intact. There must be something wrong internally..."
"No need to tell me this, I just want to know the final result." Rhodes said solemnly, "Can you restore my eyes, or use other methods to let me see everything around me clearly?"
"On this issue, you have found the right person." Margaret said confidently, "There are many ways to restore vision, it depends on what you choose."
Rhodes raised his eyebrows: "Tell me about it."
"The easiest way is to put new eyes on your body." As she spoke, Margaret raised her hand, and a thumb-sized magic eye jumped into her hand from the side.
"Considering your original habits, I suggest installing an eye with a wide-angle field of vision between your eyebrows, so that you can restore your previous vision." Margaret suggested, "Of course, if you If you want to place your eyes in other positions, such as the palms or the back, it may be a little more troublesome, but the effect is the same, and I think you will get used to it soon."
The corner of Rhodes' mouth twitched, but he heard Margaret continue:
"In addition to installing eyes on the main body, you can also try external vision, just like the far-sighted pendant I gave you. If you are worried that the far-sighted pendant will be destroyed by the enemy, just bring a few more treasures with similar effects."
After hearing these suggestions from Margaret, Rhodes couldn't help but ask: "Can't you just restore my vision?"
Margaret shook her head: "I can restore your original vision, but that requires your cooperation and a lot of time to rest. Although I don't know what kind of secret method caused you to become blind, but Restoring vision is no simple matter.”
"Recuperate..." Rhodes shook his head. He didn't have time to do this kind of thing. It seemed that he could only choose other methods.
"I've always had a question." Rhodes said slowly, "How do you see other things?"
"Me?" Margaret, whose eye sockets were dark and had no eyeballs, asked.
She raised her hand and pointed at the magic eyes in the room: "My children are my eyes. Everything they see is what I see."
Rhodes nodded slightly: "I need this secret method, the secret method to control the magic eye, not a simple treasure."
Margaret snorted: "Lord Rhodes, not long ago, I wanted to use this secret method to trade with you, but you rejected my request. Why do you need this secret method now?"
"Now is different from the past." Rhodes sighed and said, "I was not blind at that time."
"What are you going to give in exchange?" she asked.
Rhodes thought for a while and replied: "With my protection for you, protecting you from the necromancer, and providing you with such a research environment, shouldn't you express your gratitude?"
"Oh, please, be practical." Following Margaret's words, the nearby magic eyes all rolled their eyes.
Rhodes coughed dryly: "I haven't seen any actual results of the 'Eternal Demonic Eyes' you are researching. The eyeballs and the ritual book I gave you should be enough to exchange for this secret method, right?"
Margaret spread her hands: "That's the deal we agreed on, isn't it? If you regret it now, I can also teach you the secret method of controlling the magic eye, but the eternal magic eye after that will have nothing to do with you. ”
Hearing what Margaret said, Rhodes was a little hesitant.
Finally, he asked in a deep voice: "What do you want? Gold coins? Treasures? Or powerful magic knowledge? Don't tell me that you want the artifact on my body, that's impossible."
"I don't need these things," Margaret whispered.
In the quiet room, the magic eyes wrapped around the wall seemed to come to life. They stood up one after another and stared at Rhodes in the field. Margaret also let out a series of hoarse sounds from her mouth. laughter:
"You want the secret method to control the magic eye, but you can't get what I need, then I can only follow the traditional method and let you become my companion..."
"Rhode." Margaret's tone became solemn. Even when she mentioned angels, Rhodes had never seen her so solemn. "Are you willing to join the Demon Eye Church and fight with me against the ancient enemies of the church? To see the church’s former glory?”
"..." The corner of Rhodes' mouth twitched, and he reached out to touch his forehead, "I just want the secret method, and I don't want to join any church."
Margaret didn't reply, and the magic eyes all around stared at Rhodes silently.
"Okay." Rhodes asked impatiently, "Even if I say I plan to join, how can you guarantee the authenticity of my words? Can you still force me to do it?"
Margaret shook her head and whispered: "When you said those words yourself, your fate was linked to the Magic Eye Church. You can break your oath, but you can't get rid of this fate that belongs to you. .”
"Destiny?" Rhode snorted coldly, "Maybe you don't know yet? Even the prophets who give revelations and predict the future are mine. Why can't I get rid of fate?"
Margaret did not answer, but lowered her head slightly: "Make your choice, Lord Rhodes."
Rhodes opened his mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly, he stopped.
Just like what Margaret said, Rhodes felt an inexplicable aura shrouding himself at this time, followed by a feeling of being spied on.
After recalling Rowling who was waiting for him in Erathia and strengthening his will, Rhodes no longer hesitated.
"As long as you can come up with those secret techniques, I agree to join the Magic Eye Church." He said in a deep voice.
