After a few months, Irwindale was business as usual.

After meeting Rod, Jana looked relieved.

To be honest, when Rhodes was not around, Jana was really a little worried - although there was nothing wrong with Erwindale's side, and the Demacia authorities had no time to deal with the revolutionary army, but Janna's heart was just not steady.

And this unsettling reality was fulfilled the day after Rod's return—at nightfall, an uninvited guest visited Rod, who was meditating in his study.

It was a man who concealed her appearance, her voice low and hoarse, as if it were an old woman—the shadow followed her when she appeared, so much so that Rod didn't even notice her existence in the first place.

"Who are you?"

For a long time, this sudden appearance generally belongs to Rhodes, which can make others unable to see the details of Rhodes, and will also allow Rhodes to have more say - and when this method is used on himself, Rhodes always feels uncomfortable.

"It doesn't really matter." The other party hid in the shadows, and seemed to have no intention of showing up at all, "I've been waiting for the return of the leader here." ”

Rod raised an eyebrow, and unleashed a light spell noncommittally—the soft light made the study much brighter, but it didn't reveal the people in the shadows.

This didn't come as Rhodes expected - rather than guessing if the light would work wonders, Rhodes was more concerned about whether the other party hated the light.

And judging by the results...... No.

A Shadowwalker who doesn't hate light?

Rhod's heart was ringing with alarm bells.

"Then you should go to Silas - he's right next door." Faced with the question thrown by the other party, Rod wisely chose to avoid talking about it, "That is the leader here." ”

"No, it's not." The Shadowwalker seemed to shake his head, "I know very well that you're the one who will decide the future of this place—and I'm looking for you. ”

"Really?" Rod shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be stupid, "What can you do with me?" ”

"I just want to know." The Shadowwalker slowly drifted towards Rhodes, "Why did you choose to help these spellcasters of Demacia, in this land, mages have always been ominous and shady. ”

"I think you seem to have some misunderstanding of the mage." Rod was stunned for a moment, and then denied the other party's statement, "I'm just a mage, although I admit that I sometimes play some tricks, but I'm really a good person~"

"A good guy who helps the mages?"

"That's right, a good guy who helps the mages make their existence work."

Shadow fell silent, she seemed to be a little puzzled by Rod's statement, but she didn't seem to be able to tell what her doubts were.

Seeing that this uninvited guest stopped talking for some reason, Rod got up and motioned for the other party to leave-without being sure whether the other party was playing tricks to attract his attention, all abnormal and strange behaviors Rod made up his mind to ignore it.

As for who the other party is......

Let's talk about it after the fact!

Faced with Rod's eviction order, the Shadowwalker seemed a little surprised, she hesitated for a moment, and then finally chose to leave.

Of course, before leaving, she left a word.

"We'll see you again soon."

……………………

For this strange Shadowwalker, Rhodes looked confused.

Who is this?

Being able to appear quietly with the help of the power of the shadows, this guy even made Rhodes feel the danger - Demacia still has this person?

It just so happened that Silas and Xena were dealing with the backlog of things during this time, and Rhodes simply took the time to investigate the identity of the Shadowwalker.

But no matter how much Rhodes investigated, the result was nothing.

It was as if she had appeared out of thin air and disappeared into thin air, leaving no further trace......

Then, just as Rhodes wondered if he should step up his efforts and get Fiona to help, Lux found him.

"What? Will the light find me? ”

It's normal for the Illuminati to find her—after all, when Lux returns to Demacia, she gets off halfway and leaves first.

But strangely, looking at Lux's appearance, it seems that she is looking for herself first, and has not yet communicated with Silas.

This was a bit weird - Rhodes was sure that Silas and the Revolutionary Army should be closer than he was to the Illuminati.

It doesn't make sense for Lux to find herself first!

"The reasons are complex." As if to anticipate Rod's surprise, Lux explained directly, "It's mostly about something relatively old—even older than Demacia." ”

Hearing Lux say this, Rod finally narrowed his eyes.

Older than Demacia?

As we all know, Demacia should be the least well-known country in the whole of Valoran, at least in Rhodes's understanding, this country can achieve today's achievements entirely thanks to the efforts of its own citizens - and the help of the Forbidden Stone.

But the fact that Demacia has no heritage does not mean that Demacia does not have extraordinary powers.

Think of Lucian's holy flame enchantment for his pistol......

It's just that this trace is not very obvious in Demacia, so Rhodes has always regarded it as some inheritance of the ancient ruins of Demacia - just like the inheritance of the Noxians to the Immortal Fortress, although they have obtained those magical legacies, it is still difficult to digest them.

But now listening to Lux's meaning, it seems that Demacia is ...... about the inheritance he has received The utilization capacity is quite high?

"Can you tell me what's going on?"

"It's more complicated." Lux pulled out a thick tome straight from the package, "The bookmarked page - read it yourself." ”

Rhodes opened the book.

Under the influence of his linguistic knowledge, obscure words were catchy poems for Rod, which he gently recited.

"The era of rune prosperity, the era of frequent wars."

"Madmen are capable, magic is raging."

“……”

"The long night descends on the world, looking at the south of the sky, and seeking peace."

The language of Demacia a thousand years ago was different from that of today, and the words that read out may seem to be somewhat unrhymed—but from the text, it seems to describe a mythological story.

"Very old myth." Listening to Rod finish reading the long poem, Lux took the book back and carefully put it away, "It's not interesting, and it's not the kind that has been circulated widely." ”

"So to speak." Rod nodded, "So, the Illuminati will find me because of this poem?" ”

"That's right." Putting away the book, Lux's expression finally became serious, "That sister in the story...... Visited the Illuminati. ”

Hearing the news, Rod finally narrowed his eyes.
