Looking at the angry Maude Caesar, Rhodes smiled with satisfaction.

In the "cordial and friendly" exchange, Rhodes once again poked at the enemy's biggest pain point.

Why is Rhodes so good at piercing the heart?

Not because his mouth cannon skills are full, but because he has prepared in advance.

Remember LeBlan, who had an "in-depth exchange" with Rhodes?

Let's turn back a bit and see what exactly Rhodes communicated with LeBlanc.

In fact, after Rhodes decisively rejected LeBlanc's suggestion to join Black Rose, the chat between the two men was "dead" at one point - although there were some things to communicate with each other, this communication could not go on due to serious mistrust.

Rhodes wanted to know about LeBlanc - because he needed to know what Valoran's spell system really was, and only by understanding Valoran's spell system could Rod have a chance to cross Acacia and return home.

LeBlanc also wanted to get to know Rod, not only because she wanted to know where Rod's strength came from, but more importantly, she wanted to know why Lot looked so young.

That's right, young!

At the time when he didn't consume his life force to forcibly unleash the destruction of the arcane energy, Rhodes at least looked like a young man - this kind of youth was not pretended, but Rhodes was really young.

In the eyes of others, Rhodes at that time was at most ...... In his twenties, he is still at a very refreshing and non-greasy age.

And in fact, Rhodes is less than fifty in his three lives together, and he has always been a boy, can he not be young?

But that makes LeBlanc very strange.

After all, time is an irresistible law for all – at least in Valoran, it's an unimaginable proposition to stay young.

Let's put it this way, even the legendary Eternal Hunter Twins Qianjue, who hold the death rune, can't resist time - although they can't die, they have to admit the powerful influence of time on themselves.

Legend has it that only Shurima from the last magical era mastered the slightest trick about time, and their Ascended were able to ignore time to a certain extent.

(Well, LeBlana didn't know that someone had completely ignored time.) ）

In LeBlanc's view, Rhodes definitely had a knack for keeping his age the same – otherwise he wouldn't have been like this.

And this kind of skill, LeBlana needs it very much.

Not for beauty, but because LeBlanc was already on the verge of collapse - after all, LeBlanc had an even more famous title besides the Enchantress...... Lady Pale.

This is not the Grim Reaper that the Demacians think of (it's a matter of the same name, the Demacians have always called the Grim Reaper Lady, and that's just the embodiment of the Thousand Sheep Spirit), but a truly terrifying character.

LeBlanc is a weak chicken in terms of frontal combat, but in fact, she is an old monster who survived the last era of magic.

Remember the betrayal of Mordecaesar in the Immortal Fortress?

After Maudecaesar thought he was invincible, his skull was stolen and he could not be resurrected after being killed in battle, and the empire fell apart.

The man who led the enemy to steal Maudecaesar's skull was LeBlanc.

……………………

LeBlanc was once a core subordinate of Maude Caesar, and her wisdom and Maude Caesar's strength complemented each other perfectly, sustaining that brutal and powerful empire.

But the two are different after all.

Maude Caesar is an undead, he does not grow old or die, and he can rule the empire forever if he wants to.

But LeBlanc is still mortal, and she has to face death.

In this case, Maudecaesar made his promise that when LeBlanc was about to die, he would be happy to transform the right-hand man into a lich.

But LeBlanc didn't want that, partly because she didn't want to embrace death and become a cold lich; On the other hand, it was because she had seen the undead who had been transformed into Mordecaesar, and everything about those undead was pinched in Mordecaesar's hands.

In this case, LeBlanc wants to live.

By chance, she learned about an ancient magic from Maude Caesar's books, which was left over from the last magical era, and one of the theoretical bases of Mordecaesar's resurrection, this magical spell can absorb the life force of the enemy for its own use, and make people stay young forever.

This magical spell gave LeBlanc a new chance.

Rather than being loyal to Maude Caesar, she wished she could live forever—no one could refuse to live forever as a living person.

So she took the initiative to secretly contact the forces against Mordecaesar, and formed a coalition to attack the Immortal Fortress - and before the battle, she also secretly led a man to steal Mordecaesar's skull.

And when Maudecaesar's lich found out that the skull was stolen, it was LeBlanc who threatened and intimidated the news and suppressed the news.

And then Maudecaesar really died—the kind that could not be resurrected.

Until the curse of the Ruined King erupts.

Can't think of it, right?

When LeBlanc talked about this, Rod didn't expect it either - he didn't expect that LeBlanc was once Maude Caesar's subordinate, he didn't expect LeBlanc to betray Maude Caesar because he didn't want to live as a dead man, he didn't think that LeBlanc is alive until now because he has mastered some kind of ritual that can absorb the lives of others, and the price is ...... Her strength has stagnated.

LeBlanc needed Rhodes' knowledge, his youthful spells to replace her ancient rituals, because Svein's rise had given her too much vigilance - this guy wasn't an idiot like Darkville, and he could lose all of Noxus by just deception and illusion.

And lost the power of Noxus...... How can LeBlanc survive in the rune war that may recur at any time?

So LeBlanc made some concessions, and she took the initiative to reveal some things about the last magical era to Rhodes, including the founding and history of Noxus, as well as the current internal situation; Includes Double Agent Elise's joint tips and how-to guides; Includes some past events of Mordecaesar, the leader of the Shadow Isle; Including the Peak of Freljord, the presence of the Frost Watcher......

All in all, LeBlanc did a good job of satisfying Rhodes' curiosity as a mage.

And Rhodes also talked a little bit about the basic principles of arcane - the kind of big road goods.

Rhodes is not an idiot.

He told LeBlanc and Pan about Piltover's plan at the beginning, because it was all a conspiracy, and it was nothing to say - but arcane was the foundation of Rhodes's life, how could he teach a guy who "didn't look like an enemy"?

Even if LeBlanc looks like a beauty...... Not at all!

However, this did not prevent him from jotting down LeBlanc's narration one by one - if it weren't for LeBlanc and his detailed analysis of Maud Caesar, Rhodes might have actually gone to Ionia to find a chance to live!

Now, this little knowledge has its own use.
