At the last moment, Varus fell gracelessly under Rhodes' flames.

Speaking of which, Varus is an outlier even among the Darkborns - most of the other Darkborns are of noble birth, and even if they become Darkborns, they are all bringing a bunch of younger brothers to Shurima to make trouble.

What about Varus?

Born as a small soldier, he has climbed step by step because of his merits, and he has changed from a shooter specializing in sniping to a god warrior.

Moreover, even if he became a Darkborn, this thing is still thinking of revenge on the void of Acacia, and there is no intention of fighting for power and profit......

In a sense, Varus is quite pure - and that purity can seem a bit like a lack of heart when it's not right.

For example, just now.

Because he paid too much attention to the "heir of the Great Weaver Mother", he was hit by an inflammation on his face, which was almost unimaginable for other Dark Descendants.

(Of course, there is also the interference of Valmao and Kaye, who know that the Darkspawn is almost impossible to kill, so they basically choose to kill Varus whenever they have the chance.) ）

All in all, after eating a super flame burst unsuspectingly, Varus temporarily lost his combat effectiveness.

In this case, Rod naturally would not be polite to him - he surrendered Varus's longbow, and Rod tied him up with the shackles of the hot sun.

……………………

When Varus came to his senses, the pain of the Darkspawn's longbow leaving his flesh body twisted to a certain extent, and he struggled to pick up the longbow, only to find himself entangled in place by a flaming shackle.

Varus struggled to break free of Rod's spells, but the more he struggled, the tighter the shackles of the sun became.

The sound of the struggle caught the attention of Rod, who was reading slowly, and he closed the book in his hand and raised his head.

"Take it easy, Mr. Varus." Rod smiled and looked at the Darkspawn who was tied up in front of him, "Introduce yourself, my name is Rod, Rod Lothar - now your identity is a captive, as a former Celestial warrior who has fought for countless years, you should know very well what the status of a captive means...... So next to my question, you'd better answer it well. ”

"Hehe, captive." Varus sneered disdainfully, "Since you know me and know that the Darkspawn was once a Celestial Warrior, why bother asking? We are immortal! ”

"That's weird." Hearing Varus say this, Rhodes shrugged his shoulders, "I've heard about the immortality of the Celestial Warriors, but during the Battle of Acacia, I remember that a warrior named Ajax killed the Celestial Warriors, right?" ”

"You ......"

Faced with Rod's fine revelation, Varus was embarrassed and speechless.

What Rod said was true.

Before the Battle of Acacia, Ajax, the master of weapons, had killed an Ascended with his own hands.

At that time, Ajax's bronze double-edged axe had a special enchantment from the Astromagician, so it was able to break through the defenses of the Celestial Warriors, and in a head-to-head battle, the ordinary Celestial Warriors were really no match for Ajax.

Although there was a suspicion of siege in this battle, the Aicassians other than Jax played a little restraining role at most, after all, their attacks could only be regarded as tickling for the Celestial warriors.

It was precisely because of Ajax's record of killing the Celestial Warriors that Acacia had the confidence and courage to resist Shurima.

After 10,000 years, when this matter was brought up by Rhodes to say, Varus was quite dumbfounded—facts are facts, and Varus couldn't refute them.

In this case, Varus subconsciously lowered his voice and muttered in a low voice: "That's the Celestial Warrior, the Darkspawn will never be destroyed......"

"The Darkspawn is immortal?" Rhodes finally laughed, "Not to mention the unlucky guy who was left with no bones after the betrayal of others in Noxus, just a few years ago, in front of me, there was a Dark Spawn who ushered in a complete death!" ”

"This, this is absolutely impossible!" Varus's eyes widened when he heard this, "The first thing you said I knew was that during the war in Ionia, I smelled him, but that was because he wasn't a pure Darkspawn in the first place, not the Darkspawn who had faced the Void with me!" ”

"The Darkspawn is immortal, for we have seen something more terrible than death!"

Varus seemed very excited, as he seemed to identify more with his identity as a Darkspawn than with his esteemed Celestial warrior status - the Darkspawn itself was not a good name, and the word itself of Shurima origin meant "Fallen", a term with a slurp connotation.

"Why, you care about that?" Rhodes finally steered the conversation in the direction he wanted, "You have faced something more terrible than death...... You mean the void? ”

"You know the Void?" Speaking of the Void, Varus seemed to be a lot calmer, "There are many mortals who know the Void, but not many people really know the Void-"

"Actually, I don't know as much about the Void as you do." Rod interrupted Varus, "After all, I saw Aatrox destroy a watcher at the cost of his own life. ”

Aatrox?

Aatrox ......

Varus fell silent, carefully rummaging through his distant memories, finally finding traces of Aatrox among the fragments. 、

At the height of Gushurima's heyday, the number of Celestial warriors had reached the triple digits, and the reclusive Varus and most of them were not very familiar - and it was not easy for him to remember Aatrox's name clearly.

"I remember him......" Varus muttered, "Aatrox, a battle maniac with a long sword - he seemed to like to show off his fancy sword style, and I remember him as tall and powerful. ”

"That's him, Aatrox." Rhodes nodded, "He was in Freljord, at the cost of his own life, to eliminate a watcher. ”

Without saying a word, Varus bowed his head and was silent for two minutes, as if mourning the departed compatriot.

"If memory serves, he's also part of the underground war."

"That's right." Rhodes nodded, "In my opinion, he has received a much more serious infection than yours, and he even needs to be maintained by Zhen Bing to be able to maintain his sanity." ”

Instead of asking what Zhen Bing was, Varus raised his head and looked at Rhodes.

"Tell me his story – as a deal, I'll tell you what you want to know."

"Deal."
