When Rze's name appeared in Yorick's mouth, Rod subconsciously shuddered.

You must know that this Ruize is not only the Thunderbolt King of the Summoner's Canyon, but also the guardian of the world runes of Valoran, who can truly face the existence of the gods as a mortal......

I always feel as if I've been involved in something extraordinary.

At this moment, Rod felt a headache.

In all fairness, Rhodes really came to Shadow Island just to solve his own vitality problem, and by the way, to help Jana gain a little storm power and add a little combat experience, that's all.

Rhodes was interested in those things on the Shadow Isle, but he definitely didn't want to participate in a higher-level contest for this knowledge.

It's not cowardice, it's sanity enough.

Rhodes can change the day in Birgewater on his own, but in another place (such as Ionia), Rhodes may not be eligible to play.

How many people are qualified to be chess players who are willing to be chess pieces?

But at a higher level, it was difficult for Rhodes to become a chess player – and now Rhodes was seriously short of chips he could put on the table.

Why did Rhodes set his sights on Shadow Isle?

Because there's no backstage here!

What "hit the small one to bring out the old one, and then slap the face and pretend to be forced", this kind of routine Rod will not.

And it's not a game here, and the boss doesn't necessarily wait until the end to make a move - look at the island of shadows, how many times has Maude Caesar appeared shamelessly?

To sum up, Rhodes did not want to go out of his way.

However, when Yorick says Ryz's name, Rhodes realizes that he can't escape.

Curiosity kills cats – if only you hadn't listened to Yorick's story yourself!

Of course, in fact, since the time when Rod and Yorick fought side by side, Rod could not stay out of this matter.

Now it seems that the matter on Shadow Island itself is a super-syllabus question - but Rhodes has already entered the exam room, and there is no point in complaining at this time, all Rhodes can do is try to get as many points as possible, and if it doesn't work, he has to write a "solution".

Taking two deep breaths, Rhodes adjusted his mindset and began to actively bargain with Yorick.

"I've heard of Ryze's name, and I've even seen him in Zaun - it is said that he has recently appeared in Ionia." Rhodes tried to be extremely honest, "But this kind of big guy is very difficult for me to come by, so ...... I'm afraid it's hard for me to help you in any way. ”

"Don't worry...... Yorick didn't seem to understand the meaning of Rod's words, "I still have a long time to go, and Ryz has a long time, and after the Shadow Isle is purified, I think I should be able to activate the various devices that used to be on the island, and we have time to deal with these precious things." ”

Yorick's words made Rod roll his eyes.

"I mean, you'd better hire someone else for this kind of work!" "It's true that knowledge is extremely important to me—but it's not enough for me to be involved in that kind of struggle, and someone can shed their blood for knowledge, but unfortunately I'm not one of them." ”

"Really?" Yorick looked up, his cloudy eyes staring at Rod, "If that's the case, then I'm afraid I'll have to threaten you - either you accept my assignment, or I destroy the Fountain of Life." ”

"What?!" Rod's voice instantly rose a few octaves, "Damn, what do you mean by that?!" ”

"Literally." Yorick's tone was calm, "There is a reward when there is a benefit, if you are not willing to help, Fuguang Island will not give you what you want, it's as simple as that." ”

Rod licked his lips.

Yorick's threat is clumsy – it's more of an attitude.

Rhodes knew that it was impossible for Yorick to really destroy the fountain of life, because according to LeBlanc, the fountain was the source of the curse and the key to removing the curse, and if Yorick really destroyed the fountain, maybe Maudecaesar would lose the power of eternal life, and the undead on the Shadow Island would be vulnerable, but again, the island would not be able to change back to what it used to be.

As for all the protection on the island, it is very likely that it will not be able to resist the second curse and will be completely ineffective, and then all the documents will be directly exposed to the wind and rain and the erosion of fog, and the last legacy of the last magical era will also be wiped out under the effect of time, and there will be no scum left.

Yorick won't accept that—his previous statement was just a sign that he would rather hurt others if he didn't cooperate.

It's annoying.

"Otherwise, we'll split up." Rod simply changed his perspective, "You go yours, I'll go mine—if I destroy Maude Caesar, I'll share a bottle of Life Spring, how about it?" ”

"Nope." Yorick shook his head stubbornly, "I have only one request - contact Ryze and give him the inheritance, and everything you are interested in belongs to you." ”

"And what if I'm all interested?" Rod pursed his lips, "What an old man, still so naïve!" ”

"All interested, all yours!" Yorick's answer was categorical, "That knowledge is not a waste in your hands......

"Enough!" Rod finally interrupted Yorick, "Do you have to get me into this kind of right and wrong?" Damn, I really don't want to get involved in this kind of thing! ”

"The last era of magic disappeared after the Rune Wars, and the Rune Wars are not once or twice, and it is obvious that there are some powerful beings monitoring the runes - the destruction of Shadow Island is unknown, considering the choices of those madmen, I didn't know that you were actually the enemies of some powerful existence?"

"That knowledge may be great, but if I reach for it, I'm almost dead — and you're trying to force me to be a part of it, is that interesting?"

"I'm a dying man!" The more he talked, the more excited Rhodes became, and put his snow-white hair in front of Yorick. "I just want to live now, and you're using this as a threat to get me involved in something else that could kill me at any moment...... Do you really think there's only one way I can do it? ”

"Of course you have another way." Yorick's tone was still calm, "But it's not that I pulled you into the water, it's that you're already in the water." ”

"What do you mean?"

"You've been in the middle of the game since Miss Cana began to contaminate her faith, mortals and gods, you can only choose sides."

"Huh?"

"It's like the point of the dead, either sheep or wolves, there is no third way."

Facing Yorick, who was constantly playing dumb riddles, Rhodes wanted to rub a fireball and throw it over......
