It took a long time for Ruiz and Rod to finally reach a series of deals.

The basics are...... Rhodes became a "mercenary" for the Guardians, volunteering to help Ryze when he could.

In return, Ruiz needs to provide Rhodes with the necessary knowledge and information, and ensure Rhodes' life during the battle.

It's a rather interesting employment relationship, where Rhys pays for the knowledge and information he's gained over the years, and Rhodes helps Reyes with things that Rze can't do on his own.

In the moments after the deal was struck, Ruiz was even a little uncomfortable.

If he had known Rhodes first, Agu might not have needed to die—he could have asked Rhodes to shelter Agu.

But Rhydes also knew that Rhodes was a true outlier - as a rune annihilator, Rhodes was one of the very few people who would not covet the runes that Rze mastered.

In the long years of being a guardian, Ruiz did not think about looking for a helper, but for the vast majority of people, Ruiz himself is the same as Tang Seng in Journey to the West, and the temptation of runes will always make them do something to Ruize.

But Rhodes is different.

As a rune annihilator, the world rune thing is useless to Rod, and Ruiz and Rod are relatively comfortable getting along.

For Ryze, Rod's only uncertainties are his friends and partners, and the only thing Ryz has to worry about is Rhodes' idea of fighting the World Rune and the Base Rune for the sake of his friend and partner.

And even better, the plan of the moon star spirit has made the best foreshadowing for Ruiz, and Jana has been ascension to the star and become a star spirit, which means that the "temptation" that Rod faces is much smaller.

It was for these reasons that Ruiz boldly developed Rhodes into his helper - and if it went well, Ruiz didn't mind Rod becoming his disciple officially......

After reaching an agreement, Ruiz released a total of two missions to Rod, one long and one short.

The long-term mission is to help Ryze and unite with a host of other forces to deal with Shurima's problems - and in return, Ryze tells everything he knows about how to control time.

Prepared, Ruiz took out a small scroll and handed it to Rod.

When Rhodes opened the scroll, he found that it contained a great deal of time mysteries.

Although there are some contradictions between the records in this and Rod's own system, after all, Ryze also uses arcane powers, and its content is also a great inspiration for Rod.

On top of that, at the end of the scroll, Ryze also notes the way to find Bandel City!

Bandel City!

Legend has it that this yodel-infested city is on an alternate plane - many claim to have entered the magical land of fairies through invisible portals, where magic is so great that if you are not careful, you will fall into a myriad of strange wonders, and eventually get lost in your dreams, never to return.

In Valoran, the method of entry to Bandle City is thought to be random – but for someone like Ruiz who doesn't know how many years he has lived, this "randomness" actually has a pattern to it.

The entrance to Bandel City will appear once in more than 500 years, which is random for ordinary people, but it is very regular for Ruize!

According to the Scrolls of Reze, there will soon be an opportunity to enter Bandel City on the Plains of Lakstak, and after that, the next time to enter Bandel City will be in Ionia.

Good stuff!

For any spellcaster, this little scroll of Ruiz can be said to be worth ten thousand gold!

The only pity is that Ryze himself doesn't rely much on spellcasting items, and Rhodes asks him about the items in Valoran's legends, and Ryze's answer is generally "I've heard of it, but I don't know".

In this case, Rhodes is still a little regretful - Valoran's magic items are very interesting, some of them directly enhance the rune ability, but there are also some things that directly act on the spell itself, which can have an effect similar to that of the super magic specialty.

The other short-term task is much simpler, and Ruiz needs a large amount of the Sands of Time.

"Why do you want the sands of time?" After hearing this request, Rod looked confused, "Do you want to seal something?" ”

"Almost." Ruiz smiled, "I'll see if the sands of time can seal runes - even if it's a secondary rune, the scroll behind me is really heavy, and I can't even carry it, hahaha." ”

Faced with the old man's malicious cuteness, Rod grinned, and then began to make the sand of time.

……………………

Rod and Rhyze have a good conversation, but Kieran, who is kept out of the barrier by Rhyd, is almost mad.

For Kieran, Rhodes is the only person who can help him save Acacia at the moment, but now it seems that this thing doesn't mean to help him!

What's even more painful is that Kieran doesn't have any way to deal with Ryze's enchantment - just kidding, although Ryze can't use basic runes, his specialization is in spatial transfer, arcane energy, and imprisoning enchantment, which is unbreakable for Kieran who can't enter the flow of time!

You know, the relationship between Kieran and Ruiz is very delicate, and Kieran has limited influence on reality, but as long as he wants, he can completely cause trouble for Ruize, thus simply ruining Valoran - Kieran knows too much, as long as he wants, he can start a war!

However, on the other hand, if Kiran really did this, then he also wanted to redeem Acacia, Valoran is gone, and Acacia must be gone!

In this case, the two people are basically in a state where the well water does not interfere with the river water.

But now, Ruiz has openly broken this tacit understanding, which undoubtedly makes Kieran very angry.

Then, just when Kieran was so angry, he met Cana.

As a star spirit, Cana is also a person who has the ability to see Kieran through the barrier of time flow.

And the quick-witted Kieran decided to pay attention to Cana after discovering that he couldn't break through Ruiz's barrier.

Do you want to be with Rhodes?

Do you want to immortalize Rhodes?

The life span of the star spirit is endless, but mortals will eventually die, so do you want to persuade Rhodes to join me and jump out of time, not in the years?

Don't worry, I just need Rhodes to do me a small favor, and it won't prevent you from living a world of two forever!

Kiran blows the sky, but Cana ignores it.

"It's okay, Mr. Kieran, I believe in Rod, he will be immortal like the Star Spirit - so, I respect Rod's opinion, if he is not willing to jump out of the flow of time, then there must be his reason and consideration, it is useless for you to persuade me here."

At this moment, Kieran fell into an impotent rage.
