Facing Eric's praise, Rhodes, who was pretending to be a master, always maintained his calmness and said at the right time: "That's what I should do. In the face of the demon's attack, only the mages working together can achieve the final victory." .”
Listening to Rhodes's infectious words, the nearby mages couldn't help but cheer for their benefactor who saved them. When demons are plundering and the academy is under attack, they need a responsible mage like this to step forward and point the way forward for everyone in the dim and unclear way.
As Rhodes' words spread, even Eric, who came over, couldn't help but look at him one more time. What flashed in his eyes was unstinting appreciation, and then he said to everyone:
"The demon general Aiden is coming fiercely this time. The area around Rain City has been attacked by demons. The battle is not over yet. Even with the power of the hero Deken, he may not be able to defeat the demon general. The guardian of the jungle in Eli Before the attackers arrive for reinforcements, you must quickly take refuge in the academy’s spell training ground, where the hero Erni and the prophet Orak will protect you.”
Under Eric's call, the mages also realized the danger of staying here and took refuge one after another. Even though the protective circle above everyone's heads seemed indestructible, who could know what the demon general had. the power of? It would be better to join up with the main mage in the academy as soon as possible.
After giving instructions to the mages, Eric turned his attention to Rhodes and said to him specifically: "Follow me."
Next to Rhodes, Marion also showed a bit of surprise. Unlike other mages who left in a hurry, Marion was eagerly waiting for Rhodes' next instructions. To her slight surprise, , from the outbreak of the Doomsday Fire, to Rhodes taking action to save the nearby mage, and getting in touch with Eric at this moment, everything seems to be in Rhodes' plan. Even if there is a sudden abnormal situation, Rhodes can quickly integrate into it. Among them, find the most beneficial way to deal with it. Compared with him, even Marion, who is the chief thief and should be the best at this kind of thing, seems to be a step slower at this moment.
As if sensing Marion's surprise, Rhodes just smiled faintly. The arrival of Demon General Aiden somewhat disrupted his original plan, but he could also take advantage of the situation and make things develop in the direction he expected.
On the way to the center of the academy with Eric, Rhodes stared at Eric in front of him. His greatly enhanced heroic specialty, the Peeping Eye, was beginning to be completely stimulated by him at this moment.
The power of the Peeping Eye allows Rhodes to break through the defenses of others and detect their inner thoughts. The deeper the thought of the person being watched and the more complex the thoughts in his head, the worse the effect of the Peeping Eye. , some heroes with extremely strong minds, which can even be described as invincible, are directly immune to the power of the prying eye.
The legendary mage Eric, whose spirit has been tempered and tempered in countless years of meditation, casts Peeping Eyes or other mental magic on such a caster. Even if it can achieve any results, it will be destroyed by him. React in an instant and drive away the power that invades your mind. The spiritual sea of the legendary mage is like a heavily guarded castle. The soldiers patrolling it are always fully alert. If it were anyone else, even a spiritual elemental person who specializes in mental power, he would know at this moment that it is difficult to And retreat, but Rhodes has no such idea.
With the blessing of god-level wisdom, Rhodes is extremely confident in his own exploration. Even if he has a deep mind like Eric, he cannot detect anything strange in the process. If Eric's mind is a heavily guarded The castle, then the god-level wisdom spell is a map that allows Rhodes to surpass all the guards and penetrate deep into the hinterland of the castle palace. With the blessing of god-level wisdom, Rhodes could easily overcome the various defenses in Eric's mind and see his innermost thoughts.
Concerns and worries filled the heart of this old legendary mage. Facing the Lord of the Undead who conquered Brakada and the approaching doomsday, Eric only felt lost and confused in his heart. He wanted to save The mages in the academy, and even more innocent people in the apocalypse, but he didn't know what to do. He wanted to find a path full of hope for the mages, but when he suddenly looked back, he realized that the whole world had been shrouded in darkness. He was not afraid of sacrificing his life for the mages in the academy in the coming doomsday, but he was only afraid of his own. Sacrifice means nothing.
Under the prying eye's inspection, Rhodes also saw the worries and confusion that existed in Eric's heart. Eric, who was walking in front, was far from as calm as he showed. It was not an exaggeration to say that he had been tortured by despair, but he still stood at the forefront of the academy's mage, even in the face of the oncoming legend. The top demon general had no intention of backing down. If the hero Deken hadn't taken action first, it would have been Eric himself who stayed outside the guardian ceremony to fight the many demons.
"This demon attack caused the academy to lose a lot of manpower. No one expected that those demons would kidnap many academy mages in advance and plant the terrible fire of doom in their bodies. We finally rescued the demons The abducted mage never thought that he would bring back time-delay magic with astonishing damage..."
On the way to the center of the academy, Eric seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. It wasn't until he turned his attention to Rhodes again that his mood improved:
"Fortunately, I discovered you during this demonic attack. Although I don't know your name, you cast spells in time to save many mages when the demons came. You also kept calm when everyone was panicking. That calmness in the face of danger is something that many legendary mages are unable to achieve. From you, I see your potential to become a legendary mage. Your deeds are enough to inspire everyone in this disaster. The courage of the mage’s heart.”
Faced with Eric's praise, Rhodes could only cough dryly. With the power of three systems, of course he did not take the attacks of those demons seriously. Even the demon generals who ignited their souls with the fire of doomsday, in today's Luo The same is true in Germany's eyes. Before, Rhodes used the power of the phantom arrow to defeat the Lord of Hell holding the Doomsday Blade during the ceremony to obtain the god-level wisdom. Naturally, he would not be defeated by those so-called demon generals. Scared.
It was precisely because of Rhodes' unusual calmness and timely casting of spells that Eric valued him so much.
Through the prying eyes probing into Eric's heart, Rhodes also faintly felt his joy. Eric, who failed to see through the disguise of Rhodes' magic, thought he had found a treasure in the academy, and even made up his mind to personally teach himself to become a legendary mage and increase the strength of the academy in the apocalypse. Rhodes felt helpless and didn't know what Eric would think when he learned that his true identity was the Lord of the Undead who conquered the entire Brakada.
Originally, he just wanted to make a small move to get information about Cuthbert from Eric. What Rhodes didn't expect was that he showed that he regarded the legendary demon general as nothing, and that he had saved everyone. His demeanor of not taking any credit and being neither arrogant nor arrogant has deeply gained Eric's respect. Eric even feels that it is a blessing for the entire academy that he can accept such a mage as his disciple when the end is approaching.
Seeing this, Rhodes had no choice but to speak and bring the topic to the matter that concerned him most: "I came from Erathia and just joined the academy not long ago. Thanks to Cuthbert's recommendation letter, now Only then can I stand here smoothly. By the way, I heard that Cuthbert will also come to the academy recently. In Erathia, some bad things happened to the heroes. However, I waited for a long time and didn’t see him. Figure, did something happen to him?"
Hearing Cuthbert's name mentioned in Rhode's mouth, Eric's eyes lit up slightly, as if he remembered something, and then said:
"Are you talking about Cuthbert, the hero of Erathia? Many years ago, he was my apprentice. He married another mage from Erathia in the academy. I also attended his wedding. A few weeks ago, I received a letter from Cuthbert. He was expelled by the Erathians because of his status as a hero, and instead planned to throw himself into the arms of a mage family when the end came. It stands to reason. Said that he should have come to the academy a few days ago, but I couldn't get any news from him, and I was worried that he might have encountered some accident."
Listening to Eric's story, Rhodes' heart also sank. Things were just as he expected. Cuthbert had some accidents on his way to the academy, which prevented him from going smoothly. Arriving here also made the whereabouts of the earth magic book in his hand a mystery. If Cuthbert cannot be found, Rhodes will not be able to securely defeat Edmund, who controls all the power of the earth, in the battle of monarchs.
At this moment, Rhodes also showed concern at the right time: "I didn't expect that such a thing would happen... Thanks to Cuthbert, I can successfully join the magic academy. If he is in any danger, I will There is no way to feel at ease. Mage Eric, do you know where Cuthbert might be? Who can put him, a hero, in danger?"
Faced with Rhodes' inquiry, Eric just sighed deeply: "Who else can it be? The only ones who harm the mages in the doomsday are the demons in hell. Cuthbert doesn't know who Eli is today. Facing such terrible threats, those demons have completely lost their minds. They will not let go of any living creature in the world. It is very likely that Cuthbert was captured by those demons, just like the others who were captured. Just like the mage who left... I hope that the next time I see Cuthbert, he won’t be implanted with the Doomsday Fire like other mages.”
Sensing the worry in Eric's words, Rhodes asked in a different way: "How many mages in the academy were captured by those demons? Where are those mages trapped now?"
From Rhode's question, Eric couldn't help but take another look at him. At this moment, Eric seemed to feel the determination revealed in Rhode's words. It seemed that no matter what was waiting for him ahead, No matter what the difficulty, he will do whatever it takes to rescue the trapped mages and Cuthbert from the control of the devil.
Facing Rhodes' inquiry, Eric was also very moved. When the end came, he had seen too many mages who only cared about their own safety, even when facing companions who could easily be saved. Regardless of the reckless attitude, it seems that in the apocalypse, nothing is more important than the lives of those mages themselves.
Eric knows very well that with such a concept, it is absolutely impossible for the academy mages to survive this doomsday safely. In this unprecedented catastrophe, only when everyone works together and is united can there be any hope of being preserved in the doomsday. possible. However, even if Eric wanted to change all the increasingly selfish and conservative behavior of the mages in the academy, there was nothing he could do.
Until now, after hearing from Rhodes's words his enthusiasm for rescuing the trapped mages, and his determination to not flinch in the face of any difficulties, Eric couldn't help but be deeply moved. He had not been there for a long time. Having seen such a high-level mage, his selfless determination is what today's mages are extremely lacking. Eric has made up his mind to accept the person in front of him as his apprentice, so as to transform himself. The countless accumulated wisdom is imparted to each other.
Rhodes still didn't know how his inquiry aroused Eric's feelings, so he heard the mage say: "The place where those mages were trapped is in the Demon Fortress east of the Giant Willow Land. The demons summoned the magma deep underground and completely burned the forest. Now it is a barren land. The towering demon city can be seen at a glance even from an extremely long distance. If Cuthbert If he were still alive, I guess he would be there now."
Rhodes nodded, and at this moment, he finally showed a satisfied look. The information about Cuthbert's whereabouts was exactly the information Rhodes had longed for. For that information, Rhodes did not hesitate to get in touch with Queen Catherine of Erathia and exchanged all kinds of information about Cuthbert on the condition of keeping her hero identity secret. At this moment, he went deep into Eri and obtained information from the library. Sibert's mentor Eric gave him his specific whereabouts.
Knowing that Cuthbert might be trapped in the Devil's Castle east of the Giant Willow Land, Rhodes was about to find an excuse to leave and at the same time find a way to rescue the hero, but he heard Eric say: "In order to rescue Trapped mage, people in the academy have held countless meetings, so please come and listen."
