Chapter 1287: Balance
In the Emerald City, Rhodes, who was meditating in the quiet room, suddenly noticed a change in his body.
This feeling is like a clogged nose in typhoid fever, which suddenly becomes smooth and can smell all kinds of smells, and it is like a body that has always been covered in heavy clothes, and suddenly it is naked in the air.
The strange feeling made Rod interrupt his ongoing meditation and look at his body instead.
Rhodes noticed that at some point, his body had reverted to its human form, no longer a skeletal body after the ritual, and flesh and blood were covered with the original bones, which looked no different from his former self.
In addition, the perception belonging to Rhodes has also been restored, and he is even more acute than before, and can feel all the abnormalities around him.
Rod recalls that this special state of his body only appeared in one situation, and that was when he was next to North.
Wearing the Lich's arm, North has gained this unique ability, as long as he is around, all creatures in undead form will revert to their original form, while normal creatures will look like undead creatures.
For such an ability, Rod has an extremely deep impression, when Rod took Leah to him before, he felt this from him, because of this unique ability, North can't even see Leah's appearance.
At this time, Rhodes, who was meditating, inexplicably returned to his original state, Rhodes knew that this must be related to North, obviously, during the time he was meditating, the centaur leader had brought the royal family of Diya to the Emerald City.
What made Rhodes feel concerned was that this ability possessed by North seemed to be able to take effect for a long time once triggered, and as long as he was within a certain range of his side, he could enjoy the effects of this ability, and some lich who was eager to regain his perception would definitely rely on this ability very much.
Without any intention of going to greet him, Rhodes got up and tidied up, and then waited for the arrival of North and his party.
Soon, the door of the ashram slowly opened, and a figure entered the ashram.
"Is that you?" Rod was a little confused.
"You're surprised to see me?" The visitor asked.
When he came to the ashram, he closed the door of the ashram, and soon, there was only a little fire in the small ashram.
"You should stay among Diya and be your king of Diya, and send his men when needed, instead of coming to the battlefield here yourself to participate in the battles that belong to the lich." Rod said in a deep voice, feeling dissatisfied with the person in front of him.
Appearing in front of Rod is none other than Catheret in Deya, in terms of identity, he is the king of the entire Deya, and his status is only under the lich, Rod doesn't know why he came here at this time, which is somewhat unexpected by Rode.
For ordinary necromancers, Catheri has a more symbolic meaning, the existence of the lich is undoubtedly too far away, and a necromancer without strength is not qualified to hear the name of the lich at all, but it is Caterry's rule over Deya that makes ordinary necromancers more familiar.
Because of this, according to Rod's original prediction, Cathery should always stay in Diya and give orders to ordinary necromancers, at most to send some undead creatures to other areas, instead of coming to Eli as a battlefield in person like now, if something happens to him, the entire battle situation will be affected.
"I won't stay in Yeri for long, I'll be gone soon, just a few words, I must talk to you." Cathery in human form said slowly.
Under the effect of North's unique ability, Cathery, who appeared in Rod's eyes, was also in human form. Compared with the form of the undead creature, he has a special aura at this time, which is the majesty that the undead creature does not have.
"What do you want to say? Don't be a Witch King who doesn't have enough, you should have enough undead creatures. Rod said helplessly.
"It's not these." Cathery shook her head, "I'd like to talk to you about balance. ”
"Balance?" Catherry's words once again made Rhodes wonder, does balance refer to a matter of strength? Rod didn't understand, it had been a long time since he had heard such a special word from other creatures.
"Yes, balance, balance of life and death." Cathery looked at Rhodes, "I'm sure you've seen those lichs, and when they're on full display, they'll be enough to shock all the forces. ”
Rhodes nodded, for this, Rod naturally would not deny it, but he heard Cathery continue: "Any legendary creature with some insight knows that the lich has accumulated power in Dia, do you think, before this, why didn't they join forces and deal with the lich in advance, but let the lich accumulate strength and threaten the entire continent?" ”
Rhodes replied disdainfully: "Because they are afraid of paying the price, the lich is not so easy to solve, not to mention, there is constant friction within the same force, and it is impossible for other forces to truly unite, is this what you call balance?" ”
Cathery shook her head, "In a sense, there is some truth to your answer. But the real reason is that the accumulation of lichs has not affected the balance between life and death. ”
Cathery raised his hand, and the energy of death condensed around him:
"Death is an inevitable part, ordinary creatures cannot resist their own death, even vampires, can only rely on their own constitution, and long dormancy to delay the onset of decay. When the moment of death truly comes, the soul gradually dissipates, and the body left behind, as proof of death, will belong to the lich. ”
"Over time, the Lich does not actively upset the balance between life and death, but accepts the bodies of dead creatures. Sometimes, they also step in to maintain order in Deya, eliminating necromancers who have gone mad in pursuit of power. For them, this is also a move that they have to make in order to maintain Diya's existence. ”
"But now, these actions of yours have seriously upset this balance, and death is starting to become a mainstream, spreading across the continent, and the lich doesn't want to see that happen."
Hearing the special meaning of Caterry's words, Rhodes said in a deep voice: "It seems that you don't know that all the lichs who joined this battle were their own choices, and I did not force them to join, unless they chose to be my enemy. ”
As he spoke, Rod's gaze at Cathery froze, and the atmosphere in the arena gradually became solemn.
