When faced with coincidences, people tend to sigh about "magical fate" when it is not their own business—but for Rod, who is partial to the magic of shaping energy and ignores the magic of prophecy, his view of fate is quite similar to that of an atheist.

"Fate is the emotion of a person walking on the beach when he turns his head to look at the footprints he has left behind."

In other words, Rhodes was an unbeliever.

But now, when Rhodes first focused on the curse, he was shocked to find that the fate thing was ...... In Valoran it seems to really exist!

According to the old paper on Fukumitsu Island, Rhodes conducted several confirmatory experiments, and the results of the experiments showed that fate did exist.

In other words, as long as certain conditions are met, people make a series of choices, and the result tends to be predictable and modifiable, to take a popular example, in Valoran, if you can master the curse (or the spell of fate), then if you want, a random coin toss can easily be ten heads or tails, and everything will work according to your ideas.

This situation was completely unimaginable for Rhodes - at the time of Azeroth, Rhodes had seen a lot of prophecy spells, but most of the prophecy spells were regressions to the past or the detection of the present situation, even if there were a few prophets who made a move to foresee the future, it was because of the network time of Azeroth, and the "future" that the prophet saw was not inevitable, but a fragment at a certain point in time.

But in Valoran, in this world where the flow of time is unstoppable, fate has appeared in front of Rod in the form of a curse as a special force, which makes Rod feel that he has discovered a new world at the same time, and his heart is dazed and shaken for a moment.

Isn't it...... Are you arrogant in the face of Valoran?

No, it's not.

Rhodes gave himself a shot of arcane wisdom, and then took a few deep breaths - Valoran is not a chaotic world, it is that he is not aware of this law.

Although Rhodes was now a rune annihilator, he had also mastered some runes before, and after regaining his composure, he quickly realized that fate would probably be a special rune, and according to Ruiz's classification, this might be a cornerstone rune at all.

For this kind of power, I'm afraid that no one in the entire Valoran is qualified to fully grasp it, so the curse has become a fairly useful secondary rune under its rune system.

A secondary rune that works on itself?

No, it's not.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes slightly, and in connection with the situation when he fought Lisandro before, Rhodes was very sure that it was difficult for the secondary runes to have a 100% effect on himself, and judging from the curse effect of this crown, his identity as a rune annihilator did not seem to interfere with the curse at all.

In other words, the crown curse is not Rhodes at all, but those who see Rhodes!

Realizing this, Rod's mind suddenly dawned on him - he asked Jana to bring a few blind people, who, as Rod had expected, were not affected by the curse......

The crown, then, should have three effects - fixed on Rod's head and not removed, attracting attention, and cursing those who see it.

If you think about it this way, maybe the Sunstone was able to suppress the curse because it was more dazzling?

Or is the best thing Rhodes can do if he wants to avoid trouble?

With this in mind, Rhodes tried the headscarf - unfortunately, the headscarf could not hide the effect of the hat at all, and perhaps this "visual" attraction had something more meaning.

Are you really looking for the Sunstone?

Or is death the only one who can take the crown off?

There were two paths in front of Rhodes right now, one was to find a way to contain the curse (like the Sunstone), and the other was to find a way to take it off.

The former has ideas, the latter is more thorough.

Faced with this problem, Rod chose the latter path directly without a moment's hesitation - the reason for this choice was that he didn't want to go to the Giant God Peak on the one hand, and because of ...... on the other hand This crown is too heavy.

If you tell Rhodes to live with this thing for the rest of his life...... It hurts.

……………………

After determining his goal, Rod's first choice was to find Orn, after all, no one in the whole of Valoran was more professional in the manufacture of magical items than Orn - maybe even this crown was Orn's creation?

Although there is not a single inscription or inscription on the crown, and the aesthetics and size of this thing do not seem to be in line with Orn's style, but with the delicacy of just in case, Rhodes still chooses to go north to Freljord.

Finding Orn wasn't easy - the last time he made contact, Rhodes quietly left a mark in the Furnace Country, and under the guidance of the Arcane Marker, he found the trail of the Mountain Hidden Flame in the snowy Furnace Village, and at four o'clock in the morning in the Furnace Country, Rod followed the clanging iron to find Orn.

Unfortunately, in the face of the crown on Rod's head, Orn looked impatient.

"This thing has nothing to do with me." Orn glanced sideways, then continued with his work, "Southsider's style...... It's small, brittle, and flashy. ”
