Although the journey was not as enjoyable as possible, it was still smooth.

After a transfer, Rod, led by Cassadine, finally found the gathering place of Shurima's true scavengers—where he finally realized for the first time that scavengers could still reach this scale.

In this rocky Gobi Desert, there is a small tent and scavengers living next to almost every stone with a height of more than one person, and there are more than 1,000 households at a glance.

Rhodes glanced up at the sun, trying to determine where he was, but all he could see was a haze.

"We're probably in the eastern part of Nerema, in the middle of the Dasai Desert." As if seeing Rod's doubts, Cassadine explained, "Don't try to figure out the exact location - although they are called scavengers, they also have a lot of good things, and they can still cover up their location." ”

Hearing Cassadine say this, Rod blinked, and did not continue to take some other means, for him, it was just curiosity to find out where he was, and in the current situation of a scavenger, there was no need to get into other trouble because of a little curiosity.

As he spoke, Cassadine had already led Rhodes to a large tent, although the materials of this tent had become porous and dirty due to the erosion of the wind and sand, but when he looked closely, Rhodes found that ...... It seems that the tent is made of Cardolan brocade.

In a small talk, Trist and Rod mentioned this tapestry.

In Shurima, although the Kadolan brocade is not a royal special offer in the past, it does not belong to the ordinary people, and even the Kadolan brocade trade requires a special trade license, for the Shurima people, this kind of brocade means status!

And, importantly, this tapestry is unattainable, and it is said that all Cardolan brocades are burned when they are discarded because their ashes are a special material for divination.

In other words, the owner of this tent used to be a high-ranking Shurima who was qualified to use the Kadolan brocade!

Rhodes blinked—it seemed that Cassadine was right, and although these scavengers were at the bottom of Shurima's "food chain", their origins were probably not simple.

Just when Rod was thinking to himself, Cassadine had already begun to talk to the old man who came out of the tent after a hug, and they talked very quickly in Shurima's local Shurima language, and because of the quirks of pronunciation and the irregular use of language, although Rod gave himself a constant understanding of the language, he could only listen to a rough idea.

Cassadine was begging the old man, and the old man looked ...... Very resistant.

It seems that he was not willing to accede to Cassadine's request.

Blinking in confusion, Rhodes gave himself an arcane wisdom - and with the blessing of arcane intelligence, it took him some effort to finally understand the conversation between the two men completely.

……………………

Just as Rhodes had felt before, the old scavenger was not willing to help Cassadine enter the Immortal King's Imperial Tomb again.

"I can't accept your request." Although the old man was in rags, he was in a tough body and in good spirits, and although he spoke a little slurred, it should be caused by a lack of teeth, not a brain problem, "Strictly speaking, the Immortal King is tyrannical and ambitious, but he is my ancestor after all - you have been tested and obtained the Blade of the Underworld, which is enough to help you take revenge on the Void, and you have found me again...... Am I mistaken about you, by now, greed has begun to eat away at your heart? ”

"It's not greed." Cassadine, though a little embarrassed and embarrassed, tried his best to justify, "This is the price I need to pay - I found my daughter, but she has been infected by the Void Creature......"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cassadine, I can't accept your explanation." The old man directly interrupted his description, "Or to put it simply, I think you seem to have misunderstood me, in fact, I have never had any sympathetic feelings for your experience - I chose to take you to the tomb of the Immortal King before, and that was also the guide of fate. ”

"A guide of fate?"

The old man's statement obviously made Cassadine a little incomprehensible.

"That's right." The old man stared at Cassadine's snorkel mask and nodded, "The Blade of the Underworld needs a new master, and you are its best choice—it will be far more useful in your hands than in the hands of those sand thieves, so I will take you to the trial." ”

Hearing the old man say this, Cassadine was a little silent, and beside him, Rod was a little abrupt.

It's no wonder Cassadine was reluctant to tell him how to enter the Immortal King's Tomb, and he didn't know how to enter it!

Seeing Cassadine fall silent, Rhodes also understood the problem he was facing - strictly speaking, the old man he was facing had already helped him once, and this time the other party refused to help again, and Cassadine had no qualifications and reasons to continue pleading.

But he had promised himself before that he would take himself to the tomb of the Immortal King to discover the hidden wealth of the ancient emperor Shurima......

In this case, Cassadine was in a dilemma.

Cassadine has never been a cold-blooded person - although he was determined to take revenge because of the "death" of his wife and daughter, he only used his connections and resources to be a lone avenger.

Aware of the dangers of the Void, Cassadine was reluctant to involve anyone.

And now, when Cassadine learned that Kai'Sa was still alive, the part of his heart that had been hardened had quickly softened, and he had no way to forcefully threaten the old man in front of him for a while, which was not in line with his morals.

That's right, although he promised Rhodes that "as long as there is news of his daughter, he can do anything", but when it comes to the end, Cassadine will still be entangled and hesitant.

Perhaps in the end, Cassadine will make a choice for the sake of his promise, but at least for now, he has no way to extinguish his morality and conscience.

As the initiator of the matter, Rhodes stood up when Cassadine was entangled.

"The old gentleman." Coming to the old man, Rhodes greeted with a smile, "I wonder if there is anything in the tomb of the Immortal King that belongs to the caster and has nowhere to be placed?" ”

“？？？”

"Personally, I think." Rhodes puffed out his chest, "I'm also entitled to some of the Elder Shurima's magical legacy. ”
