"Kane, what happened?"
Seeing Death Knight Kane appear, Rhodes immediately let go of Inota, stood up and asked.
Enota curled her lips, stood up as well, and immediately pulled Rhode back.
"A death knight belonging to Vera returned to the island. He was seriously injured and he was not human. None of us understood what he said." Kane said respectfully.
"Take me to see." Rhodes became somewhat interested. He happened to be wearing the traveler's sash given by Inota, so he had no difficulty in communicating with inhuman creatures.
After crossing the cliff and arriving at the corner of the bay, among the packages of necromancers, Rhodes saw the death knight that Kane mentioned.
It was a male mermaid with injuries all over his body, with a strong human upper body and a fish-like lower body. He held a rough stone harpoon in his hand and looked at the surrounding necromancers warily.
"Who are you? Where is Vera?" Rhodes stepped forward and asked proactively.
The mermaid looked at Rhodes warily, subconsciously raised the harpoon in his hand and pointed it at Rhodes.
"It seems that you haven't figured out the situation yet." Rhodes said in a deep voice. The large cloak behind him shook violently, and the dark aura instantly enveloped the mermaid.
Soon, the black fog dissipated, and the mermaid fell to the ground, panting heavily as if she had just escaped from suffocation.
"Now, you are my death knight." Rhodes said slowly, relying on another effect of the Ghost King's cloak, he took control of the mermaid.
"Answer my question." Rhodes said in a deep voice, his voice containing some kind of magic power, which penetrated directly into the mermaid's ears.
The mermaid looked dull for a while, and said in a strange language that no one else could understand, only the mermaid used: "I am Volo. Vera is fighting the incarnation of God, and was swallowed into his belly."
Hearing the words of the mermaid Volo, Rhodes was stunned. He didn't know when such an existence appeared in the water elemental plane: "What exactly is the incarnation of God? Be specific."
"That is a huge sea snake. It has many heads, with one or two horns on its head. It is the most noble in the whole world. No living thing knows how long it has lived. In the memory of those elemental creatures with long lifespans , the sea serpent has existed since their birth, it must be the incarnation of the gods..."
"I warned Vera not to provoke the incarnation of God, but he just didn't listen. He said he wanted to make up for his mistakes, and was eventually swallowed by it..."
Facing Volo's panicked explanation, Rhodes's eyes lit up with fire.
With the help of the vision given by the demon form and the peeping eyes, Rhodes could see the various thoughts in his heart. What Rhodes could confirm was that the incarnation of God he spoke of was the ultimate hydra in the depths of the ocean.
Just like the creatures of Taitalia, which regard the Hydra and the Poisonous Dragon as totems, the mermaid in front of him and the tribe he once belonged to undoubtedly worship the ultimate hydra as a god. But in Rhode's eyes, even though the Ultimate Hydra is only one step away from being promoted to a god-level creature, it is still just a legendary creature and not worthy of such worship.
"How come the incarnation of God you are talking about looks so much like the sea snake I met?" Next to Rhodes, Inota also noticed something was wrong and asked proactively.
"It's just as you thought, it's the multi-headed snake." Rhode explained. After speaking, he looked at the mermaid, "It's just a multi-headed snake, but it's a bit powerful. It's not an incarnation of God at all. , you shouldn’t worship it at all, you should worship me.”
When Rhodes' words came to his ears, Volo was stunned. When he looked at Rhodes again, there was already some kind of fanaticism in his eyes, and he was willing to sacrifice his life for him.
"I can feel that Vera's spiritual imprint is not completely silent. In other words, he is still living in the belly of the Ultimate Hydra. If we arrive in time, there may be a chance to rescue him." Rhodes felt it, Then he said.
"Great! I was almost swallowed by it when I was exploring underwater. Rhodes, help me teach it a lesson!" Inota cheered from the side.
Rhodes was helpless and said: "Don't worry, we can't just go into the water. After all, it is a creature that stands at the pinnacle of legend. The ocean environment restricts my ability to display my strength. If we rashly fight it underwater, our chances of winning are not good. On the contrary, it will be very dangerous.”
Hearing this, Inota nodded: "You are right, what should we do now?"
"let me see……"
Rhodes was lost in thought, and after a while, he said, "There are two treasures that can help us now, but they are not so easy to obtain..."
Hearing what Rhodes said, Enota suddenly became interested and asked: "What two treasures, I can't wait to find them!"
"One of them is called the 'Moses Scepter', which can completely separate the ocean, so that the body of the ultimate hydra is completely exposed on the land deep under the sea. The other treasure is called the 'Water Spirit Ball', which can greatly improve the water system. The power of magic allows the user to freely exert all their abilities without being affected by the ocean environment. As long as we get one of these treasures, we can set off immediately to find the ultimate hydra."
Inota tilted her head, with some confusion in her eyes: "I understand the first treasure, but what does the second treasure mean?"
Rhodes thought for a while and explained in a language that Enota could understand: "For example, after you come underwater, even if you breathe out dragon breath, you will be immediately submerged by the surrounding seawater, and it is almost impossible to ignite anything. .With the water spirit ball, you can freely breathe dragon breath underwater and cast all kinds of spells without being restricted by the environment."
"Wow." Inota nodded in understanding.
"Both of these treasures are not so easy to obtain. I remember that the 'Moses Scepter' has always been kept by angels in the Cloud City, and no one can obtain it. However, a treasure like the 'Water Spirit Ball' is deeply forgotten. There has been no news from the underground world for a long time.”
Rhodes quickly considered various events related to these two treasures in his mind.
After the Standwick incident, the angels' vigilance in Cloud City has reached the highest level. Rhodes believes that as long as he appears, he will inevitably face unimaginable enemies. If the angels are determined to kill him, The Doomsday Judgment is not easy either.
In contrast, the defense of the underground world is much looser. According to Rhodes' memory from his previous life, at the end of the second expansion pack, the water spirit ball will appear at the gathering of magicians in the underground world.
In addition to these two treasures, the "Heart of the Ocean" on Rowling also has similar effects, but the Heart of the Ocean can only provide basic underwater mobility. Once the battle begins, Rhodes is still restrained in every aspect, whether in the form of the Great Demon or the Titan's arrow, it is difficult to exert its power.
Finally, he made a decision, looked at Inota and said: "Let's go to the underground world to find the water spirit ball. As for Vera, we can only let him wait in the belly of the sea snake for a while."
