Chapter 1122: Standing by the side of mortals
Soraka's choice was completed beyond Rhodes' expectations.
In Rhodes's view, the giant gods are a group of beings who are high above and disregard the life and death of mortals, and they never consider the life and death of mortals in order to make the world run according to their own will.
Of course, Rhodes never denied their contribution to Valoran - he simply stood in the shoes of mortals, hating this kind of condescension and self-righteousness, and it was for this reason that he always maintained a respect for gods like Anivia and Qianjue.
Now, there's one more Soraka on this esteemed list.
"To be honest, I still feel incredulous until this moment." Looking at the smiling Soraka in front of him, Rod's tone was full of amazement, "I seem to have a bit of an extreme understanding of the giant gods in the past, they are not all bastards. β
ββ¦β¦ Titans aren't bad. Hearing Rod say this, Soraka couldn't help but laugh, "Actually, the Titans have never classified themselves into the [good] or [bad] camp, and all the Titans are moving forward according to the trajectory of their own destiny, that's all. β
"That's right, that's right." Rod nodded, "But I'm mortal, and I hold on to my own opinions and ideas. β
"It's a good thing, it's a valuable idea." Soraka seems to appreciate Rhodes's concept, "I've seen too many lost people, who can't cling to their own view of right and wrong like you, immature and drifting with the tide, bound by fate. β
"Perhaps...... That's because they're too weak. Rod shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Have you ever heard the saying - with great power comes great responsibility." β
"With great power comes great responsibility?" Solaka chewed on Rod's words, his eyes seeming to light up, "I love this phrase, it fits perfectly with the trajectory of fate that I have observed. β
"I used to scoff at that." Rhodes looked at the top of the tent and said in a somewhat ethereal tone, "At that time, I firmly believed that I would do my own thing, and I only had to be responsible for myself, but until one day, I found that my power could easily destroy a country, and at that moment, a subtle sense of mission was born." β
"A sense of purpose?"
"That's right." Rod nodded, got up and walked out of the tent, "When I'm on a bigger stage, I have the power to make the world a better place; In this case, I live in this world, under this starry sky, this place is more beautiful, my life can be better, isn't it? β
ββ¦β¦β
Soraka looked at Rod silently and said no more.
And Rhodes, after realizing Soraka's silence, suddenly became a little embarrassed.
It seems that what I just said...... A little ashamed?
To be honest, Rhodes himself is very self-aware, he has never been a good person, and he has always done anything to achieve his goals, but deep down, he really wants all the world to be a better place.
Maybe that's chaos goodness, right?
Wait--Rod subconsciously shook his head when he thought of this, when did he become a random joke?
"You seem a little shy?" Just as Rod shook his head secretly, Soraka smiled again, "You seem to feel ashamed of this kindness in your heart?" β
"Not a shame." Rod shook his head solemnly, "It's just a childish remark that reminds me of my own childish words when I was a kid - and I've never been a good person." β
"Kindness is never a matter of means, but of an end." Soraka also became serious, "Mr. Rod, may you always stick to your current opinion. β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Rod and Soraka talk unexpectedly β probably because under normal circumstances, Rhodes is an aggressive guy, and it's rare for Soraka to be as accommodating as the prickly people in Rhodes' words.
And the more the two talked about it, the more speculative the result was, after dawn, their conversation was not over.
Yuumi yawned long after waking up, and then found that Rhodes and Soraka, who were sitting around the fireplace, were still chatting - the cat who saw this scene did not hesitate to wake up the Grimoi, and then began to mumble quietly.
"Are you sure you'll find clues to your master?"
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
"Does this horned man really know his master?"
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
"Can anyone who knows find the master?"
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
A magic book, a cat, and two little guys are communicating strangely like this.
In this case, Rod and Soraka were also quick to notice them.
"Yuumi...... Right? Soraka looked at the cat standing on the tome, "If your master's name is Nora, I'm afraid I know her." β
Hearing Soraka mention Nora's name, Yuume's eyes lit up visibly.
"But...... To be honest, I don't know where she is - actually, I haven't seen her in a long time. β
"Can you talk about meow?" Yuumi jumped on Soraka's shoulder and leaned into her ear, "How did you meet, what did you tell her, where did she go......
"I need to think about this." Soraka reached out and stroked the cat's silky fur, narrowing her eyes slightly, "That was a long, long time ago...... She didn't even have a magic book at the time. β
As if because Sorakar mentioned herself, the Grimoire began to open and close the pages again.
"Okay, okay, I know you're old." Yuumi waved his paw, then leaned over to Soraka's side, "And then?" β
"And then?" "Nora is a very special yodeler, and when I first met her, she was also a lost person - she came out of a portal in Bandel City and started wandering the valley. β
"Wandering?"
"That's right, it's just hanging around." Soraka burst out laughing, "Nora's perception and memory of the road seems to be different from ordinary people's, just the small valley in front of herβthe one that can walk back and forth in two hoursβwhen she first appeared, she had been in it for nearly seven days, and finally I really had no choice but to bring her out. β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
Hearing Soraka say this, a person, a cat, and a genetic, including Rod, were stunned, and after a moment of hesitation, they all had the same idea.
"Nora later specialized in teleportation, shouldn't it be because she's a road idiot?!"
