The plane of shadow.
The darkness surrounding Rhodes never dissipated, and he finally managed to reach an agreement. Before Rhodes could breathe a sigh of relief, the situation changed again.
"President of the Magic Guild, aren't you going to take a look at the Thieves Headquarters? There are things you have never seen there, and it might open your eyes." In the darkness, Sally asked with seemingly good intentions.
"Humph, Bracada has the most prosperous town in the world, and everything about the thieves' headquarters is nothing new in my eyes." Eli's voice came out, with a bit of disdain in it, "But since, You said so, I won’t ask for trouble by staying here. Rather than the scenery here, I want to check the intelligence records of the thieves."
"Heh." In the darkness, Sally chuckled, "Marion, take him to the secret room and give him the intelligence authority of a legendary thief."
"As you command, great Lady of Shadows." Another female voice came from the darkness. If that person hadn't taken the initiative to speak, Rhodes wouldn't have even noticed that there was another person here.
Rhodes recalled that the Marion that Sally mentioned should be the manager of the thieves headquarters, and also a powerful legendary assassin. Rhodes had met her once when he came here before.
After the two of them walked away, in the darkness, Rhodes noticed a light creature appearing on the deck of the Percy and slowly approaching the main body.
The man's movements were slow, as if he was deliberately stepping harder. If not, Rhodes wouldn't even be able to feel the man's presence.
"Okay, all the troublemakers have left, we are the only ones left here..."
The next moment, Rhodes felt a chill run down his body. The man stepped on the back of Hell Behemoth, only one step away from the body.
Rhodes turned slightly sideways and tried to look in the direction of the person, but the darkness had already obscured his sight. There was only darkness in front of him, and the person was like a ghost in the darkness. No matter how hard Rhodes tried, he could not see her body. shape.
"Is this the ability of the Shadow Realm? Sally, it seems that many of your enemies have been tortured by this ability." Rhodes sighed.
After losing the Scarlet Eye, he realized the horror of the Shadow Realm, especially when the master of the Shadow Realm was an assassin who was good at killing with one blow and was at the top of the legend.
The next moment, Rhodes felt a chill on his neck, and something sharp and cold pressed against him. Rhodes could even feel the stinging sensation in his skin.
"Have you forgotten what I said? You who can't see me are no longer special to me. You are not allowed to call me that name anymore, call me Shadow Lady." Sally's cold words reached Rod's ears middle.
"Okay, Ms. Shadow." Rhodes shrugged.
He felt that the person behind Hell Behemoth walked around the current body and said: "However, your ability really makes me admire you. You can actually invite the president of the magic guild. This is indeed What I didn't expect is that even though he is only one person, he can be more effective than thousands of troops."
"I just reached a cooperation with him, and there is no cooperation from other mages in Brakada." Rhodes explained.
"That's enough. Your strength is not at this level, and you don't understand what the legendary peak means. Without him, I'm afraid I would reject your request." Sally shook her head.
Coming here with Eli, Rhodes originally planned to use his power to intimidate the powerful Shadow Lady. Now it seems that Sally agreed to cooperate and Eli contributed a lot to this.
"I heard Rowling say that even if I didn't come, you would take advantage of the doomsday and the Hell Legion to attract the attention of those angels, and take the initiative to break into the Treasure House in the Cloud to find my whereabouts. Then why?" Rhodes? He seemed to have thought of something and asked tentatively.
"Don't you know the answer in your heart?" In the darkness, Sally's laughter came again. It was not the chuckle before, but a sneer. "Everything you have experienced, the Thieves Guild has something to do with it." Do you need me to read the record to you?"
Before Rhodes could answer, Sally continued in the darkness: "Your eyes have a special power that can transform all creatures that meet certain conditions into vampires. According to the records of the Thieves Guild, hundreds of years ago , there is a hero born in the curse, who has the same power as you, I think it is those eyes that allow you to see me in the dark."
"This ability was acquired after you returned from the Fire Elemental Plane, and that hero also went to the Fire Elemental Plane and lost this power there. Can you tell me, is this just a coincidence? "
Listening to Sally's story, Rhodes' expression gradually became serious. It seemed that the Thieves Guild's grasp of intelligence was far beyond Rhodes' expectations. With the efforts of countless thieves on the continent, their intelligence network spread across the entire continent. , and even has the Book of Silence as the center for processing information. Everything that happens to him cannot be hidden from Sally in front of him.
In other words, she already knew the secret of the Scarlet Eyes. She did not hesitate to become an enemy of the angels, but she also wanted to break into the Treasure House in the Cloud and take back Rhodes' body, just for those special eyes.
Rhodes took a deep breath. For the Thieves Guild who knew countless secrets, concealment was unnecessary. He then said: "Those are just a pair of eyes that can transform vampires. Is it really that important to you?" ?"
"Of course." Sally replied, "I have been waiting in the darkness for countless years. If I miss this time, maybe no one can see me again until I die of old age in the darkness."
"Aren't those artifacts more precious than a pair of eyes?" Rhode asked.
"That's just from your point of view. To me, no matter how precious the artifact is, how terrible the power is, it's not as good as a person who can see me." Sally seemed to recall something, and her voice became lower, "Since you My soul has returned from hell, and I will give you a chance."
Rhode looked in the direction of the sound with some surprise. Although it was dark there, he seemed to be able to feel Sally's complicated expression.
"I can feel the affection for you in the hearts of those two people in the water elemental plane. If you can get your body back, you can choose to sever ties with them and stay in the shadow plane forever, with me, no need Don’t worry about the demons from hell who dare to come here to cause trouble, and don’t worry about those angels. Even if the entire main plane is destroyed, you can stay here safely. Or give me your eyes.”
Her voice came from Rhode's ear: "Rhode, what will you choose?"
