One night was pain, one night was revelry – but as the commander of the battle, Rhodes did not drink or celebrate, but stayed in Port Gold.

Pike still needs Rod to watch here, this big guy is not easy to deal with, even if it is now in the port, relatively speaking, the threat is much smaller, but Rod does not dare to relax at all.

In this case, Olaf decisively chose to drink, while Jana chose to stay by Rod's side.

The two men chose a relatively large ship, and then sat side by side on the mast, looking up at the silent night sky.

"You've been looking ...... lately It seems stressful. When Rod narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the full moon in the sky, Jana finally spoke, "I always feel as if you are worried about something. ”

"yes." Rhodes also didn't hide it, "the haunting void...... Ever since I had anything to do with it, I haven't been idle. ”

"Idle?" Jana's eyes widened in disbelief, "You still know how to be idle?" ”

“……”

Hearing Cana's strange tone, Rod frowned and touched his nose a little strangely.

"Why don't I know how to be idle - when I was in Demacia, before the attack, how idle I was~"

“…… Are you serious? Looking at Rod's inexplicable look, Cana also frowned, "Do you really think that when you were in Demacia, you were very idle?" ”

"Of course." Rod's tone suddenly became flirtatious, "Even during the day—"

"That's not what I'm talking about!" Jana blushed a little and interrupted Rod, "I mean, you think you were pretty idle?" ”

"Or else?" Rod shrugged, "Going to concerts, traveling around, tasting good food, sunbathing in the garden...... It's all idle to the point of depravity, okay! ”

Hearing Rod say this, Jana shook her head.

"It's not leisure, I can feel that even when you're in the sun, you're tense—like the strings of Sona, which don't make a sound, but they are always tight."

Rod was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to refute, but Jana didn't give him a chance to refute this time.

"Actually, you have never been idle, your attention has always been in a state of high concentration, whether you are basking in the sun or listening to a concert, you have been thinking, this kind of thinking has become a habit of you, obviously you have no intentions, but you always keep thinking about everything you see, trying to sort out the context of everything you see...... Aren't you tired? ”

Tired?

Rod suddenly didn't know what to say.

What Cana said was true.

In fact, Rhodes was used to thinking - after becoming a mage and mastering arcane intelligence, Rhodes kept thinking all the time, and finally turned this thinking into a subconscious behavior.

For Rhodes, it was a race against time and against fate.

In the final analysis, this comes from his strong insecurity, and Rhodes has been through too much - when he was in Azeroth, the assassination he suffered as a child, and the temptation from Sargeras at a banquet, made him a habitually nervous man.

After arriving in Valoran, due to the sudden reduction of strength, this insecurity suddenly increased, and Rod began to subconsciously collect all the information he could collect - at this time, Rod began to miss the blue star and firmly wanted to go home.

But in order to go home, Rod had to make himself stronger, and when he hit the road again, Rod kept this tension going.

That's right, when he was in Demacia, Rhodes looked very relaxed.

But this kind of leisure is not Rode's instinctive rest, but his reason telling himself "I should take a break, or I'll break down", so he has to take a break.

"Honey, you're right." Rod sighed a little helplessly, "I do have been very nervous all the time......"

"Then why don't you try to really relax?" Cana grabbed Rod's arm and rested her head lightly on his shoulder, "Rest without any purpose, follow your heart - like Nunu and Willamp in a snowball fight, that's true happiness, isn't it?" ”

"Makes sense." Hearing Cana say this, a smile appeared on the corner of Rod's mouth, "So, from now on?" ”

"Huh?"

Jana apparently didn't understand what Rod meant - what does it mean to start now?

The next moment, Rod told Jana with his actions what it means to start from now on.

Before he could finish speaking, Rhodes finally relaxed and fell headlong from under the high mast.

At this moment, Rhodes completely relinquished control of his body, and before he could fall on the deck, a gust of wind blew him back to Jana's side.

Looking at Cana's puffed out, Rod finally burst out laughing.

……………………

After the, Rhodes finally finds Ash and mentions Pike.

Ash is clearly grateful to Pike, who single-handedly destroyed the wolf ship—and when he learns that he might be able to help him, Ash agrees to Rod's request without saying a word.

"Isn't it just archery, no problem!" Ash patted his full chest and reassured, "Anyway, I need a target to practice." ”

While it was still early, Ash followed Rhodes to the port of Gold.

Although this was the second time he had seen the Dark Shark, Ash was in disbelief.

The hundred-meter-long body directly occupies one-third of the channel of the Port Gold, and what is even more amazing is that this guy is completely frozen.

"Tell me, what the hell do you want me to do."

"Well, it's actually quite simple." Rhodes pointed to Pike on the head of the Dark Shark, "Avoid this guy and shoot whatever part of the Dark Shark you want with your arrow - ask for the Magic Crystal Arrow, the most powerful arrow that can freeze people." ”

"Oh."

Ash nodded, signaling for his understanding.

While she wondered why Rhodes knew the name of the Magic Crystal Arrow—a name that Ash had taken for herself and never told anyone else—it was clearly not the point.

(It's just a heart, isn't it?) ）

Ash pulled the bow of Avarossa, and the power of freezing converged on the bowstring, and soon, a thick, crystalline, and sharp magic crystal arrow was ready to be completed.

Loosening the bowstring, the arrow burst through the air and landed directly into the inner carapace above the Stygian shark's head, a full three meters away from Pike.

The power of the freeze began to spread, and Pike, who had been puzzled all along, suddenly felt a burst of relief after the Stygian Shark was hit by an arrow.

And Rod, who was carefully observing Pike's expression, also smiled at this time.

Seemingly...... It really works!

"Miss Ash—I announce that from today onwards, this Dark Shark will be your target!"
