Chapter Eighty-Four: Rod's Way of Persuasion
Rod's Arcane Storm ...... It seemed inexplicably familiar to Victor.
It's very similar to your own storm of chaos!
It was the same chaotic energy turmoil, the same large-scale effect, and even he instinctively felt that this energy surge had a lot in common with the devastating output of Hextech.
What surprised Victor even more was yet to come.
Under Rod's control, Arcane Storm began to change.
Victor watched as the arcane storm turned into a firestorm, into a blizzard, into a tornado, into a lightning storm......
The variety of plastic magic is vividly reflected after Rhodes has unsealed himself, which is unlike any mage Victor has seen before, and even gives Victor a new understanding of magic.
The Arcane Storm lasted only a few seconds, but the deeper meaning of it made Victor think for a long time.
In Victor's view, Hextech and the rune magic of the mages are incompatible, and the so-called rune magic is actually those mages who are playing tricks and using strange magic theories to apply the power of runes.
As for the power of runes themselves, in Victor's opinion, it is more like a way of generating energy.
Considering the transparency and progress of Hextech's constant development, Victor despised the mages and their narrow-mindedness.
What is magic and what is Hextech?
Victor was well aware that Hextech was the way to use energy - through Hextech Science, using the energy in crystal ore and Hex Crystals.
And magic, in the eyes of most people, is still chaos.
Magicians have their own theories when using magic, but these theories have various limitations and uncertainties, and there is a lot of experience - coupled with the self-cherishing of the magicians when teaching their apprentices, the development of magic has always been problematic.
Let's look at this with an analogy.
Hextech is more of a science – there are still many unknown areas in the discipline, but everything that is known is proven and logical.
Through experiments, Hex's scientists understand and understand the laws of Hex's energy use; Hex's inventors used this law to apply Hex crystals to various fields.
Although there are still many unknowns about the source of Hex, the deeper analysis of Hex's energy, etc., so far, every step of the development of Hextech is traceable, step-by-step, and in line with the law.
As for magic, many magicians don't have an exact system.
Take the mages we are familiar with as an example - excluding those gods and demigods, among the remaining mages, Lux's light magic is born to awaken; Sindra's energy magic is a natural awakening; Ahri's seductive magic is a racial talent; Trist's card magic is a natural comprehension......
It's all a bunch of talented players!
These magicians possess great power, but they don't know where it comes from, and they don't think about it—they are all focused on how to develop it.
In Victor's view, these people are like children who have picked up guns, they will practice the art of using guns, but they don't know the principles and construction of the guns - and the researchers of Hextech are more like those apprentice craftsmen, they can't make guns yet, but with the advancement of Hextech technology, one day they will always surpass those mages who don't know where their power comes from.
(Interestingly, Rhodes has the same opinion about some aspects of Hex's magic.) )
In fact, the reason for all this is the disconnected destruction of the magical civilization.
The ancient wars and the destruction of Shurima have led to the disintegration of the magical civilization - after discussing with LeBlan, Rhodes discovers that Valoran now knows what magic is, and that only Ruiz and Kieran are left.
Even the rapid rise of Noxus is related to the remnants of the magical civilization of Noxus, and the words of those civilizations have created a group of Noxian mages led by Svein and LeBlan, making the black roses of Noxus delicate.
How sad!
The loss of a magical civilization has made Hextech a sign of progress, and in fact, Hextech can even be considered a branch of magic.
Originally, Victor always had a strong sense of superiority when facing the magician, but now he could only be speechless for a long time.
Because Rhodes' performance just now completely turned it all upside down.
Rhodes wasn't the kind of mage he usually saw who only relied on his talent to cast spells, and Rhodes' magic seemed to be versatile and even traceable, which made Victor wonder if magic itself had its own theories.
"You didn't guess wrong." Looking at Victor with his eyes flickering, Rod smiled, "Magic itself has a theory, and even Hextech can use the theory of magic to explain and interpret - even the crystal that you and Jace are fighting for is a product of the previous generation of magical civilization, or a relic. ”
"......" Victor silently.
"As for your body modification - a lot of enchantment mages have this hobby, but they don't have to be at your level."
No one has ever made Victor doubt his "glorious evolution" like Rhodes.
Not even Victor's former friend Jace.
Jace had dissuaded Victor - but Jace had organized Victor in a way that was "inhumane for you".
Does Victor care about humanity?
Sorry, he doesn't care.
What Victor wants is a deeper understanding of the world, a better use of energy, a more perfect life, which has nothing to do with humanity.
Would a mage who has transformed himself to the point where he has lost much of the pleasure of being humane?
Apparently not.
But Rod tells more in an understatement – he lets Victor see more.
I don't object to your glorious evolution, but I tell you with practical actions that if you want to evolve, there is more than just physical transformation.
What you want, I have more paths here - and you have chosen the stupidest path.
"Protection, spells, shapes, prophecies, necromancy, enchantments, illusions, variations—the Hextech you know is just a drop in the ocean of magic."
Rod stood with his hands in his hands, and Victor's eyes flickered.
After a long time, when Rod felt that his feet were going numb, Victor finally gave his answer.
Carry the prototype of Hex and give a deep salute.
"So, can you teach me enchantment magic?"

In the realm of mages, Rhodes crushed most of Valoran's mortals.
