Under the leadership of Prophet Orak, Rhodes, who followed Eric, soon met the chief apprentice representing Jenny, the half-elf Sodofi, who had beautiful silver hair that looked like starlight.
Rhodes had seen the half-elf more than once. During the remnant soul ceremony to obtain the god-level wisdom skill, Rhodes also caught a glimpse of the elf. She was caught by the devil because of the unique potential she contained. Hell, and then in the remnant soul ceremony, with the will to become a hero, became a sacrifice that nourished the devil's resurrection.
Now seeing the elf again, Rhodes also saw subtle changes in her body. What surprised Rhodes the most was that now she was no longer the so-called walking corpse mentioned by the Lord of Hell, but had become a real hero. She seized the opportunity of awakening her will, and then burst out even though she was in the world. The heroic will that will never fade away even after death joins the ranks of heroes in the world.
Relying on his Peeping Eyes, which had been improved many times, Rhodes could see Soduofei's heroic qualities at a glance. A hero's specialty can be said to be the core strength of every hero, and it is also the hero's winning trump card when he is in trouble. Unless they are famous heroes whose deeds have long been spread among the public, heroes will not be easily exposed. One's own heroic specialty, doing so is undoubtedly revealing the secret trick to the enemy.
In the previous battle where the Magic City was attacked by angels, Rhodes relied on the power of his peeping eyes to see through the hidden heroic skills of Isaac Angel, and thus managed to escape. The heroic specialty that belongs to Isaac is based on the premise of sacrificing himself at the hands of the enemy in exchange for wiping out the soul of any existence in the world. If Rhodes had not been able to detect the unpredictable heroic specialty in time, he might not be able to survive now. What will happen?
Even Isaac, who succeeded the Holy Judgment Angel, could not hide his heroic talents from Rhodes, let alone Sodofei in front of him. Even though she had successfully awakened her will and became a hero, she still had no chance of becoming a hero. Time was running out, and the will contained in his heart was far inferior to those heroes who were full of anger and wanted to set the world on fire. This also made Rhodes realize that the hero who belonged to Sodofei did not waste much effort. Specialties.
What surprised Rhodes was that Soduofei's hero specialties were not very powerful. They were not even more intuitive than most heroes and could not be used in battle at all. However, his unique attributes could be used in battles. Quietly changing everything, it can't be measured by value at all.
Sodofei's heroic specialty allows her to accelerate the growth and reproduction of nearby creatures. When used on ordinary creatures, it can accelerate their growth ten times. When used on plants, it can accelerate their growth a hundred times, or even faster. , to make the seeds planted in the ground germinate, grow, bloom and bear fruit within one day.
Some druids in Eri can also achieve similar effects on plants. Druids also need to use the power of wisdom. They can use wisdom to enchant plants, which not only accelerates the growth of plants, but also When a powerful enemy attacked, Eli's towering ancient trees transformed into deadwood guards to fight to protect the jungle. However, even the legendary druid in Rhodes' memory could not make the plants like Sodofei's heroic specialty. The growth rate is accelerated a hundred times, not to mention that Sodofei's hero specialties can also be used on living creatures.
Rhodes has never seen such a unique hero's specialties. Even in previous games, he has never seen similar unique abilities. What makes Rhodes a little concerned is that the acceleration ability among Sodofei's heroic specialties actually has some similarities with the time domain. This discovery deeply surprised Rhodes. Except for the ancient holy female dragon and the hero Moriel, Rhodes had never seen the power of controlling time in other creatures.
Looking at the chief apprentice representing Jenny, Rhodes was also a little stunned. He didn't understand what the half-elf went through after the soul remnant ceremony. Not only did he awaken the heroic will, but the power that belongs to the hero's specialty also seemed to be related to There is some connection in the time realm.
Rhodes looked at him with doubts, which naturally attracted the attention of the half-elf. She glanced sideways at Rhodes, but saw that Rhodes' eyes did not show any intention of converging, and they still seemed to have a calm look. Staring at him thoughtfully, he couldn't help but glare at Rhodes.
Noticing Sodofei's actions, Eric on the side took the initiative to introduce him: "That half-elf, she is Guardian Jenny's chief apprentice Sodofei. Recently, she has done great things in Eli. Merit, she used her heroic specialties to solve the food shortage problem that Eli has been facing since the flames of the world went out. Now that Eli has enough food, the creatures in Eli no longer have to worry about food problems after the end of the world. , this is all due to her.”
Under Eric's introduction, several people quickly came to the elf. After some greetings, Eric took the initiative to bring up the topic: "I heard that Guardian Jenny is willing to work with us to save the City of Ashes. Those innocent people who were taken captive by demons, I want to know what Jenny’s plan is and how many troops she can provide?”
Faced with Eric's inquiry, Sodofei, after expressing his respect for the legendary mage, replied calmly: "The only troops that Master Jenny can provide are the Elf Guards in the Quiet City, with a total of only more than a hundred people. , she will personally take action in this rescue mission, using the power of the Ice Sword to eradicate the demons in the City of Ashes. Many forest creatures have been ravaged by demons. As an important hub for demons to attack Eli, the City of Ashes The city is what we must conquer. In addition, there are also many jungle guardians who are willing to join this operation. Speaking of which, how many mages can the academy send?"
In response to Sodofei's inquiry, Eric couldn't help but sigh deeply: "I'm ashamed to say that many legendary mages in the academy are opposed to this rescue mission. Even my disciples, not many are willing to take their own Risking your life. When the doomsday comes, the mages cannot bear greater losses. The power that the academy can provide is extremely limited. But even if I am the only one in the academy who is willing to join this rescue mission, I will not flinch even if it allows me to do so. I sacrifice my life to save the mages trapped in the Demonic Castle."
Hearing this, Sodofei nodded. Regarding the situation of the Magic Academy, she had already predicted in her heart that the end was coming. Even within the elves, there has been constant controversy over whether to assist other creatures. Many of them relied on their pure blood. The elves even plan to force the guardians of the jungle to expel the doomsday refugees who come to Eri. This is true for the Jungle Guardians, and the situation for other forces is not optimistic either.
However, when he heard from Eric's mouth that there was no more assistance from the academy, and that Eric might be the only one participating in the rescue, Sodofei inevitably felt disappointed in his heart. The doomsday that has come to the world has not only shattered the old order of Eli, but even the bottom line of kindness in people's hearts seems to have become no longer important under the impending threat and the doomsday in which everyone is in danger. , Sodofei also felt quite sad about this.
Just when Sodofei was about to say something, he heard another voice coming from the side: "I am deeply moved by Master Eric's noble act. Although I am not strong enough, I am willing to join this effort." During the rescue mission."
The person who said these words was Rhodes who had changed his identity through the disguise method. As Rhodes' words came, not only Eric, but also Sodofei couldn't help but take another look at him.
"Your strength is only at the sixth level. If you are placed in the academy, you are far from the opponent of the legendary mage, let alone those demon generals that even the legendary mage is afraid of. I think it is better for you to stay in the academy and wait for your strength. When you get a little higher, do your part to save the mage."
After listening to Rhodes' words, Eric was deeply moved, but he couldn't help but tried to persuade him. Firstly, in Eric's eyes, the rank shown by Rhodes was not high, only high. The sixth-level mage corresponding to him is not as good as any legendary mage in the academy, and his strength is even less than that of the demon general of the City of Ashes. Participating in this mission will bring danger to himself. Secondly, Rhodes has shown That quality was also deeply appreciated by Eric, who couldn't bear to see a potential mage Miaozi die in the hands of the devil.
Faced with Eric's persuasion, Rhodes was a little helpless. Unexpectedly, the disguise method had some side effects on his own strength at this moment. If the disguise method was dispelled, his level, which was even more powerful than a demigod, would be destroyed. Of course, Eric would not be allowed to say another word, but Rhodes's identity was also completely exposed. You must know that there are only a handful of demigods on the continent. Even the demon generals who have withstood the fire of doomsday ignited their souls, their strength is only at the peak of the legend. There is still an insurmountable gap between them and the demigods. The power at the demigod level, That is simply beyond the reach of ordinary creatures. When this level of power appears in an ordinary mage, Rhodes can't wash it away.
Seeing this, Rhodes still insisted: "Am I going to give up rescuing my fellow mage just because of the temporary safety? Even if I escape successfully, when I think about it in the future, I will not tolerate my actions at this moment. Back off, Master Eric, I understand your good intentions, but this is my own decision."
"You...hey." Hearing this, Eric couldn't help but let out a deep sigh. There was also a lingering sense of relief in his words. When the doomsday comes, he has seen too many mages who only care about themselves and do not care about the lives of other companions. The wisdom of mages can also have an invincible effect when used in careful calculations. At this moment, seeing Rhodes understand so clearly Even Eric could not hide the appreciation in his heart for the righteous mage who had no regard for his own safety.
However, when he thought about how terrifying the demon generals were, Eric couldn't help but secretly worry for a moment. The demon generals whose souls were completely ignited by the fire of doom were far more powerful than Eric imagined, even though he had deep feelings for Rhodes. He was deeply moved by his understanding of justice, but he also didn't want to see such a mage die. He could only make up his mind to pay more attention to Rhodes' whereabouts after the battle began to prevent him from being harmed in the battle. Danger to life.
Unlike Eric, Sodofei couldn't help but raise her eyebrows after listening to Rhodes' words. For some reason, she always felt that Rhodes planned to participate in this mission and had no good intentions. As for Even Sodofei herself couldn't explain the origin of this idea, but she felt a vague sense of familiarity in Rhode's eyes.
"I'm going to prepare the magic scrolls that may be used first to avoid any accidents."
After a few brief conversations and confirmation that the operation would begin soon, Eric nodded and left immediately to prepare the magic scrolls that might be used in the rescue mission.
The number of treasures and scrolls accumulated by a legendary mage like Eric far exceeds that of other mages. Eric can copy magic scrolls in batches as long as he spends his energy. No matter how difficult it is to make the scrolls, Nor can it stump a legendary mage like him.
Being able to copy magic scrolls at will is one thing, but if you really want to use magic scrolls in battle, you also need a lot of time to prepare in different categories. A legendary mage like Eric who stays in the academy most of the time is You will not carry around a large number of fifth-level magic scrolls that are very likely to cause serious damage, and then make corresponding preparations until necessary.
"Have I seen you before?"
After Eric left, Sodofei also set his sights on Rhodes and couldn't help but ask.
Although he found some unusual and strange feelings from Rhodes, Sodofei did not think about Rhodes' identity in a deeper way. After all, who would have thought that the plain-looking mage in front of him, his His true identity turns out to be the Lord of the Undead who dominates the continent and controls the three lines of power? Sodofei only thought that Rhodes was an ordinary mage and risked his life to participate in this rescue mission just to show off in front of himself or Mage Eric.
The feedback from the Peeping Eye made Rhodes aware of the sense of disharmony in Soduofei's heart. Through the disguise method used by the Air Elemental Lord, even the legendary mage couldn't even think of detecting a flaw, so how could he be caught in front of him? The half-elf sees through? Thinking about it carefully, Rhodes seemed to know what the problem was.
Everything around Sodofei will be affected by her heroic specialty, and the flow of time will accelerate inadvertently. If you are only by her side for a while and a half, nothing may happen. Once the time goes by, The time that has passed can be described as unimaginable, and it may even happen that only one year has passed, but he has grown ten years older. It is the acceleration power derived from the hero's specialty that makes Rhodes There were some flaws in the flawless disguise in her eyes.
