Rhodes felt as if he was ...... It's a little too young.

After leaving the tomb with Cassadine, he finally understood the meaning of the Immortal King's final curse - along the way, as long as there were people, they would salute him, and even the scavengers would stare at him, as if they might come up and grab the crown at any moment.

Looking at the ragged, yellow-skinned scavengers who were still ready to move, Rhodes finally understood what the Immortal King meant.

Wear it, as long as it's on your head, all the people in this world who have a thirst for power are your enemies!

After realizing this, Rhodes immediately planned to return directly to Fuguang Island.

Wait a minute...... If you return to Fuguang Island, will the people you know also become crazy?

If one day, Jana, Jinx, Annie, and Ash look at them with twisted fervor and greed in their eyes...... Can you bear it?

Thinking of this, Rhodes really hesitated and wavered for a moment in his heart - so he simply summoned his flying carpet, flew in one direction at the fastest speed, and after getting out of the area where the spatial coordinates were shielded, he directly turned to Fuguang Island.

Rhodes would have been able to meet Piltover, but if he returned to Pietover with the crown now, it would probably directly cause a panic and riot, and now the only place where Rhodes has a chance to rest and tidy up is Fuguang Island!

……………………

Rhodes still underestimated the power of the curse.

After returning to Fuguang Island, a certain pink-haired black little Lori turned black after seeing Rod, and she held her teddy bear in her arms and let out a low sneer, which made Rod feel creepy for a while.

Fortunately, compared to Cassadine, who was directly fanatical, Anne didn't seem to have such a big problem, although she was stimulated some dark emotions that were not seen on weekdays, but she was always able to restrain herself.

In desperation, Rod could only avoid meeting Anne for the time being.

The second person to see Rhodes was Mokai - unlike little Annie, Mokai was completely immune to the curse, and although he was also staring at the crown on Rod's head, there was no fanaticism in his eyes, but more fanaticism and incomprehension.

"This hat...... Makes me feel very uncomfortable. After a moment's hesitation, Mokai finally told Rhodes how he felt, "It reminds me of the bastard who destroyed the island, and it gives me a sense of déjà vu." ”

"That's the power of man." Rod was also full of helplessness, "For me, this is a rather troublesome curse, and I came back this time to deal with this curse." ”

"I hope you succeed." Mao Kai obviously had nothing to do, so he could only send a blessing that didn't have much nutrition, "Huh...... By the way, you should probably avoid Zyra a bit, or you'll probably get into a fight - she seems to crave that feeling. ”

"I see~" Hearing Mao Kai say this, Rod smiled rarely, "I understand-"

Then, before Mokai threw his own exploding sapling, Rod had already slipped away.

"Let's hope this kid gets lucky." Looking at the back of Rod leaving, Mao Kai finally changed his steps, "There used to be so many people on Fuguang Island, I hope he can find useful news......"

……………………

Rhodes was lucky.

Of the several core characters on Fuguang Island, only Anne was more severely affected by the curse - Jinx at least seemed to be completely unaffected, and Giggs, as a yodeler with only an exploding heart, had no interest in power at all.

As for Jana...... Fortunately, the curse was ineffective against the gods, and although Jana immediately sensed that something was wrong with Rod, it was not affected after all.

Rhodes recounted his experience to Cana in detail.

"What are you going to do now?" Looking at Rod, whose whole person was visibly languishing, Jana was extremely distressed, "About the method of lifting...... Do you have any clues? ”

"Basically clueless." Rhodes lied quietly, "So I'll go back to Fukuko Island first, and I hope those previous mages have also studied Shurima's curse......"

"There should be." Jana was full of confidence, "When you sorted out the books on Fukukojima before, you collected a lot of curses and the like separately, and at that time you said that those books were not safe, and it might be dangerous to read them rashly at that time, but now, I don't think they can threaten you anymore, right?" ”

"That's right." Rod nodded, then couldn't help but sigh again, "That's what I'm hoping for, if I can find a way to lift the curse—I don't want to be the one who will always be noticeable." ”

"Doesn't match your style?"

"Almost."

In this way, Rod temporarily put aside everything in Shurima and plunged headlong into the pile of old papers on Fukuko Island, looking for clues about Shurima's curse.

……………………

Curses are also considered a form of magic in a sense - although the theory of this magic is different from that of arcane magic, and it is difficult to speculate logically to a certain extent, curses are also a hot topic for the curious mages on Fukuko Island.

Because Rod has no relevant foundation, he takes a shallow to deep way of reading and learning, he wants to understand the knowledge of curses step by step, and then solve his own problems in a cocoon, but what he didn't expect is that the primary skills of curse knowledge are actually some messy, similar to [Into Science] anecdotes, rare coincidences, and mysterious events.

Almost all the rudimentary knowledge of curses is this kind of mysterious thing, and when Rhodes tries to find the key to it, he often finds that curses are only the surface of things, and the core is "coincidence" and "unknown".

In a tome of "The Elementary Curse Removal", Rhodes laughs and tears to see many solutions to the "curse".

For example, there is a mage who always falls when using flying items, and he thinks that he has suffered a curse, but the book gives a way to get rid of it: "Abstain from alcoholic beverages 12 hours before using flying items......

A lot of common sense and extraordinary knowledge were recorded as curses, which made Rod suspect that he had returned to Blue Star.

But when Rhodes gave up on these nourishing primary curses, he quickly got the confidence he wanted.

A real curse.

"Curses are the trajectory of fate that has been pried into."

Looking at this line of words, Rod blinked, thoughtful.
