When it seemed that everything was on track and everything was thriving, Rhodes finally found Gavin IV for the first time.

As usual, Rhodes chooses to transform into a night raven and fly into Demacia's palace - and unlike usual, he is discovered.

It was Shivana who discovered Rhodes.

At the time, Sivana was training against Gavin IV in the martial arts arena - the normal kind - and after discovering the Night Raven in Rod's incarnation, she voluntarily stopped the fight, and then unilaterally looked at Rhodes as if she were facing a great enemy.

In this case, Rhodes directly chose to show his figure.

"So...... Good day, Your Majesty, good day, Miss Sivana. ”

"Who are you?" Facing the sudden appearance of Rod, Jiawen IV's face changed, as if he remembered something bad, "Why are you here?" ”

"Because I have something to talk to Your Majesty about." Rhodes ignored Gavin IV's face and tone, "My name is Rhodes, Rhodes Lothar - if Your Majesty's memory is good enough, you should remember my name." ”

"Rod Lothar?" Jiawen IV narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was caught in a memory, "Speaking of which the name is really familiar—wait, I remember, you are that special foreign aid!" ”

"That's right." Rhodes snapped his fingers lightly, "I have made some deals with His Majesty's emissaries before, and I have helped Demacia attract the attention of the Noxians and prevent unnecessary interference from Noxus during the chaotic time of Demacia. ”

"That's right, that's right." Gavin IV nodded, but did not let his guard down in the slightest, "So, Mr. Lothar, what are you here for this time—for the final payment of the transaction?" ”

"Call me Rod." Rhodes corrected the title of Gavin IV, and incidentally despised the cold sense of humor of the Emperor Demacia, "Moreover, Your Majesty's joke is not funny at all—if I need the final payment, Demacia will probably not be able to pay it." ”

"What do you mean?" Gavin IV also became serious, "Since Mr. Rhodes is not here to trade, why did he break into my palace?" ”

"Naturally, it was to talk to Your Majesty face to face." Speaking of this, Rhodes directly got three chairs out, and then sat on one of them himself, and by the way, he also made a gesture of invitation to Jiawen IV, "We also need to have a good talk, about Demacia." ”

"About Demacia?" Instead of choosing to sit on the chair, Gavin IV subconsciously clenched the spear in his hand, "Although I have always hoped that Demacia can stand on the stage of Valoran with a more open attitude, it does not mean that everyone can dictate Demacia - for the sake of the deal, Mr. Rhodes, you better leave now." ”

"It's good to be vigilant." Rhodes was still unmoved, "But it's actually pointless to be overly vigilant, if I really wanted to be unfavorable to you, you would have fallen under Oral's sword, how can you still fight with this Miss Dragon?" Then again, His Majesty's appetite is really good...... Dragons and humans, that sounds exciting. ”

"What the hell are you going to do?!" The ashamed and angry Gavin IV finally blushed, Sivana's identity was a completely secret matter, and now it was broken by Rhodes, and his relationship with Sivana was ruthlessly exposed, in this case, Gavin IV finally began to mess up, "Don't beat around the bush here, tell your purpose." ”

"I've already said it." Rod sighed helplessly, "I want to talk to you about the future of Demacia—haven't you ever thought about why the Muriel family will fall to you at the last moment?" ”

"That was the right choice for Mr. Vilie...... Wait a minute! ”

Halfway through his words, Gavin IV suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Jarvin IV had mentioned his final defection blow to Vile before - and Vilie chose to flicker, in this case, Gawain IV was not easy to ask, so he could only wait for the future to explore slowly, and now Rhodes suddenly mentioned this stubble, which made Gawain IV chuckle in his heart.

As if an invisible net was covering him, Jiawen IV instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

"You didn't guess wrong." Rhodes observed Gavin IV's expression, and then affirmed his last thoughts, "I wanted him to do that, and even the current state of Demacia is exactly what I expected to see." ”

"What are you talking about?" Jiawen IV, who was covered in cold sweat, subconsciously wanted to refute, but as soon as the words came out, he felt that his confidence seemed to be a little insufficient, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"It's simple." Rod shrugged his shoulders unconcernedly, "I sensed the turmoil in Demacia, so I took advantage of the situation and turned Demacia into what I liked and needed more." ”

"It can't be." Gavin IV's retort became even more dry, "It doesn't mean anything to you. ”

"Meaning?" Rhodes raised his eyebrows, "Your Majesty, although you are not an ordinary warrior and can even defeat a large number of enemies in the ring, with all due respect, you are still a mortal at heart. ”

The word mortal seemed to touch a nerve deeply in Gavin IV, and he frowned, as if remembering the star spirits—yes, Rod's posture looked like a star spirit.

"Could it be that you are also a star spirit?" Gavin IV tentatively asked his doubts, "Or ...... What exists like that? ”

"No, it's completely different." Rod finally put away his sarcasm and put on a gentle smile on his face, "I'm also mortal, mortal standing beside you - many times, our positions are on the same page. ”

Immediately afterward, without waiting for Gavin IV to refute, Rhodes directly explained everything he had done - except for the part of Ruiz.

Under the impact of this large amount of information, Gavin IV's entire worldview almost collapsed, and he was completely unable to distinguish the truth of the content of Rhodes' words, and Rhodes directly put the other side of Valoran in front of Gavin IV, and this was ...... for him It's a bit unacceptable.

Gavin IV was tempted to rebuke Rhodes for his nonsense, but alas, he thought carefully about what Rhodes said and found no flaws in it.

Subconsciously sitting in his chair, the expression on Gavin IV's face became uncertain—and Rhodes was facing him, with a pleasant smile on his face.

Rhodes was confident that Gavin IV would make the right decision.
