Chapter 971: Sincerity from the Big Guy
Touching the Forbidden Stone with one hand and rubbing the fireball with ease with the other, Rod's hand succeeded in causing Zina to fall into a stupor—but it was still a long way from convincing the revolutionary emissary.
Zina didn't have a good impression of Rode.
A guy who hides his head and tail, it is difficult for anyone to have a good impression or trust of such a person.
Strictly speaking, Rhodes didn't cause Irvine Dale any trouble, he wasted some of Zena and Silas' time at best, but given his reluctance to reveal his identity, it was more of a temptation by bad intentions.
For this kind of guy, Xena's attitude is naturally not very good, she really wants to ignore Rod and clean up this guy directly, but just now Rod got the important items left by Lux, although he just flipped through it hastily, but Xena didn't dare to say that Rod really didn't remember anything.
In desperation, Xena could only invite Rhodes to sit down for tea and inquire about what this one really wanted.
"The mages of Irwindale are just a poor bunch of people with no social status." Facing Rod who was tasting tea with Shi Shiran, Zina could only speak helplessly, "Although I don't know the specific identity of Mr. Rhodes, ...... A big man like you won't come to us for no reason, right? ”
"Of course not." Rhodes put down his teacup and nodded, "Actually, if it weren't for something, I wouldn't have bothered to run to Demacia to toss." ”
"In that case, please have something to say." Xena stretched out her hand and motioned to Rod, "Everyone's time is precious, isn't it?" ”
"That's a good point." Rod continued to affirm Zina's claim, "So, you've heard of it...... Void? ”
Void?
Xena looked confused.
The Void was the most terrifying threat Valoran faced, but embarrassingly, the vast majority of Valorans didn't know about the Void - especially the Demacians, who had never heard of the Void as a thing.
Although Xena is a mage with decent strength, Valoran's mage has never relied on knowledge, but on the talent, understanding and application of rune laws, in this case, it is not difficult for Xena to know the void.
"Looks like you don't know." Sensing the confusion on Xena's face, Rhodes finally showed a solemn expression, "Actually, the Void is the most powerful threat that Valoran, this world, faces. ”
“……?!”
The world's most powerful threat?
The black question mark on Zina's face .jpg, she obviously didn't know that there was such a threat.
Seeing that Xena was still confused, Rhodes thought about it for a while, mobilized arcane energy, created a few small arcane puppets, and played a "shadow puppet show" for Xena.
The content of the shadow puppet show is very simple, it is the battle of Acacia.
Rod's arcane puppet control skills are good, the vivid arcane puppet almost completely demonstrates the process of the battle for Acacia, and although Xena, who has watched the whole play, is a little emotional, the question mark on her head has still not been removed.
"Is this the history of Shurima?" Xena obviously still didn't know what Rod meant, "It's a pity I'm not a historian, so can I bother you to make a long story short, what the hell is going on?" ”
"To cut a long story short." Rhodes raised an eyebrow, "The Void still threatens our world, its minions are looking for an opportunity to return the Void to Valoran, and we must be prepared for that." ”
Hearing this, Xena frowned slightly—after a little thought, she suddenly realized.
"You're a ...... Eschatologists? Xena's eyes grew even more disgusted as she looked at Rod, "I'm sorry, I don't believe this, the guy next door to me likes to preach this in the Forbidden Prison - to be honest, your descriptive skills and propaganda skills...... Much worse than her. ”
That's right, when she was in the Forbidden Demon Prison, there was a witch in the cell next to Zina, she seemed to have the ability to control other people's emotions, and propagating the end times was one of her methods, and even she was arrested because she organized a large sect......
Apparently, Xena thinks of Rhodes as a big liar who uses eschatological rhetoric to promote his ideas.
In the blink of an eye, Rod quickly understood what Xena meant—he really didn't expect that he would one day be considered an eschatologist?
Just kidding, when Rhodes was in Azeroth, he didn't even know how many times he solved the end times by himself!
Feeling the lack of knowledge of Xena, Rod suddenly had a sense of powerlessness for Niu to play the piano - Xena, who lacked common sense in the void, had difficulty understanding what Rod meant, which made Rod a little embarrassed.
At this moment, Rhodes finally realized what the biggest problem in his plan was - now it seems that he obviously overestimated the understanding of the Valoran situation by the Revolutionary Army of Demacia, and a lot of information that Rhodes thought was common sense was still a fantasy for them, which was a bit embarrassing.
At this moment, a subconscious thought crossed Rod's mind - or, just use the revolutionary army as a pawn?
No, forget it.
Rod was quick to deny this.
How can the spark of revolution created by his own unintentional insertion become a simple chess piece?
Isn't that too boring?
It's a blank sheet of paper if you don't understand anything, but isn't it also the best material for painting?
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Rod's face again.
"You think I'm a liar, don't you?"
“……”
Xena didn't speak, but the expression on her face clearly said "yes".
"So, how can you believe what I'm saying?"
"Let me see the threat of the Void." Zina thought for a moment and gave the safest answer, "Unless I see the Void, I can't believe the strange things you describe. ”
"I see." Rhodes nodded, "You need to see Acacia's ugly hernia with your own eyes to truly believe in the threat from the Void, right?" ”
"That's right!" Xena thought for a moment to confirm the accuracy of this line of thought, "I need to see it with my own eyes to believe what you describe. ”
"No problem." Rhodes snapped his fingers lightly, "Acacia is dangerous, but for me, it's not too difficult to take a few people on a trip - wait for two days, Demacia's side will soon release you, and then put aside the decision to normalize the status of the mage, in this case, I would like to invite you, the leaders of the revolutionary army, to see Acacia, and see the terrible threat from the void." ”
