Of course, Rhodes didn't give up so easily.

In fact, when everything entered a dead loop, seeing that the pimple was getting more and more dead, and it seemed that he could not get news of Hakim if he did not become the son-in-law of the king of Ishtar, Rod decisively chose to slip away.

Although there was not a lot of contact, according to Rod's observations, the king of Ishtar was obviously not a big-hearted person - in this situation where he had already offended him to the extreme, if there was really news of Hakim, he would not be able to easily reveal it to himself.

Even if he could, the King of Ishtar would even kill Hakim first.

It was precisely because of this that after pretending to leave, Rhodes quietly transformed into a night crow and came to the vicinity of the council hall again - because of the gathering of dragons, the induction enchantment around the council hall was so disturbed that Rod's disguise was not discovered.

In this way, when the king of Ishtar wanted to execute Hakim with a vengeance, Rhodes followed the clues and found the person he wanted to find.

Hakim was really in Ishtar, and he was imprisoned by the king of Ishtar.

Rhodes, who had turned into a night raven, looked closely at the guy who looked like Hakim in prison, and had some doubts in his heart.

According to the portrait provided by Camille, this should be Hakim - but ...... Camille never said that Hakim was an elemental man.

That's right, Rhodes can be sure that the Hakim in the prison is an out-and-out elemental creature, although the appearance seems to be not much different from ordinary people, but the elemental power in his body is so active that Rhodes can judge his race at the first time.

I wonder if Hakeem was one of the greatest Hexes biochemists ever at Piltover?

Why, this is still an elemental man from Ishtar?

Rod's mind was full of doubts at the moment.

But at this time, there is no time to sigh for Rod, the cronies of the king of Ishtar are really a bit fast, if Rod doesn't do it, I'm afraid that whether it is a human or an elemental man, I am afraid that he will die at this time......

So, when the cronies of the King of Ishtar pulled Hakim's magical shackles over him and forged the Elemental Blade, a fireball slammed him sideways.

"Alright, Mr. Hakim." Rhodes, who had recovered his form, clapped his hands casually, "You can call me Rhodes, now that you're safe—Ms. Camille asked me to say hello to you." ”

Looking at Rod who suddenly appeared, Hakim licked his dry lips, and his eyes finally changed.

……………………

Poor King Ishtar seems to be trying to "reason" with the dragons - but by the time Rod left the Elemental Prison with Hakim, the dragons don't seem to be convinced at all.

The dragons gathered in the sky had begun to swoop tentatively, and while they were not yet to the point of spitting dragon breath, their threat was already clear.

In the midst of this chaos, Rod took Hakim and slipped away.

"Mr. Hakim, you don't have any special prohibitions left by the Ishtars?" On the way out, Rhodes confirmed, "Things like positioning — if you're not sure, I can do a simple check for you." ”

"No need." Hakim shook his head slightly, "They haven't been able to hide my judgment yet...... You said Camille before, right? ”

"That's right, Miss Camille."

"Is she alright?"

"Okay, very." Rod shrugged, "It's okay to be able to wander the streets of Leather City empty, it looks like the quality of your work is pretty good...... Oh, and it is said that your nephew once provided her with follow-up repair coverage. ”

"I gave most of the design to Nedri Jr., who was a little less talented, but it was no problem to do maintenance work."

Speaking of his nephew, Hakim seems to have finally regained the confidence and pride of a top Hexatologist, although his nephew Nedri Jr. is also a well-known Hex master in Pittown, but in Hakim's mouth, he is just a little guy with "a little less talent".

"It's a bit of a surprise." Rod looked at Hakim, who finally had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his tone was full of curiosity, "An elementalized person...... Your choice really surprised me, and in my mind, there are many people who would rather die than elementalize themselves. ”

"Do you know anything else elementalized?" Listening to Rod's words, Hakim looked quite surprised, "This is not an easy matter...... The power of the elements is so unruly that it is far more difficult to control than the Hexes, and it took me years to roughly come up with an empirical partial differential equation, but I still can't make a rigorous calculation of the flow of elemental energy. ”

"So the people I know who can be elementalized tend to mix the elements." Rhodes casually replied to Hakim's doubts, "It seems that there really isn't anyone who has mastered only one element. ”

"It's impossible." Hakim subconsciously denied Rod's statement, "Don't look at my current state seems to be stable, but to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that I lost most of my senses after the elementalization, I'm afraid that as long as I moved my legs, I would have screamed in pain." ”

"They introduced a special element." Rhodes struggled to recall the communication with the shamans, "The soul is also an element. ”

Soul?!

This special existence made Hakim a little dazed, and Hakim, who was a scientist, obviously didn't have much contact with this kind of unscientific existence when he heard it, so he could only close his mouth a little embarrassed.

But it was about Camille, and after a moment of silence, Hakim shifted his perspective and spoke again.

"So, Mr. Rhodes." Hakim followed behind and expertly navigated a shadow, "Where are we targeting this time?" ”

"Piltover, of course." grabbed Hakim and avoided a group of soldiers rushing to the council hall, "Ishtar is in complete chaos, we need to get out of the enchantment range here quickly, I try to see if I can take you back to the supply station directly......"

"Ishtar is in danger, right?"

"Well, almost."

"Then I'm afraid Mr. Rhodes will have to wait a little longer." Hakim looked up at the dragons that had assembled in an attack formation, "I can't sit idly by and watch the dragons destroy this place. ”

“？？？” Rod turned his head and looked at the eager Hakim with a confused expression, "Aren't you a prisoner here?" How does Ishtar relate to you? ”

"Ishtar has nothing to do with me." Hakim's tone was full of reason, "But the civilization of Ishtar must not be destroyed!" ”
