Rhodes is a man who rarely suffers.

Although he could not refuse Hakim's request because of his request, and he had to protect Ishtar, while completing Hakim's request, Rhodes would not give up chasing a small profit for himself.

For example...... Harvest a little bit of Ishtar's precious resources or something.

As for the type of resource, what could be more precious to a mage than knowledge?

In this way, under Rod's insane hints, Ishtar opened up all of his collection—including but not limited to books, records, publications, notes, and more.

In the face of Rod's request, the king of Ishtar also broke the jar, and the most important dragon contracts were exposed anyway, so what was left was ...... There's no secret.

In this way, Rhodes opened his arcane wisdom in the library of Ishtar and began a frantic journey to sweep books.

It doesn't matter what you write in the book, anyway, I'll memorize it by rote - although this kind of mechanical memory is almost like a portable hard drive, but in this case, it is indeed the best choice.

Torod's blessing, Hakim was also able to enter the library of Ishtarta, and began to search for books that interested him.

Unlike Rod, who "I want it all", Hakim is much more pure, his goal is only in the content related to elemental life, as a product of special experiments, he is still very interested in his future - even because he has died once in human opinion, he can even look at this problem from a very academic state, this subtle attitude makes Rod can't help but be amazed.

Quite interesting.

In this way, Rod and Hakim stayed in Ishtar for more than half a month, during which time, Rod swept the entire Ishtar large and small libraries and private libraries, while Hakim finally had a relatively clear understanding of his state, and the two people who were full of harvest bid farewell to the king of Ishtar with a complicated expression and swaggered out of the city hidden in the jungle.

Looking at the figures of Rod and Hakim leaving, the king of Ishtar didn't know what words to use to describe his mood for a while - Rod's appearance brought an unprecedented crisis to Ishtar, and also allowed him to see a corner of the world beyond the jungle, while Rod and Hakim were concentrating on reading, the king of Ishtar finally began to slowly think about the future of his own kingdom.

Once upon a time, Ishtar had been watching Valoran from a vantage point, and with the benefit of hindsight, he could analyze and point out the decisions made by other people and forces in the face of challenges, in order to gain a sense of superiority over the ordinary.

However, when the matter came to him, the king of Ishtar later realized that what he had done was a complete mess.

Under the threat of Rhodes, the dragon contract was revealed, and the entire Ishtar was pushed to the brink of destruction, and at this moment, the king of Ishtar realized that in the face of emergencies, the level of choices he made was not much higher than that of those he once despised.

Maybe...... Things look and do things the same way.

Finally recognizing this, the king of Ishtar finally let go, and he finally began to think about the new challenges and new choices facing Ishtar - as the strangers focused their attention on this ancient rainforest, where should the ancient kingdom of Ishtar go?

No one will give him an answer - he is the only one who answers.

And when the king of Ishtar reflected on his arrogance, he did not notice at all that his youngest daughter had something different in her eyes.

While Rhodes's actions would not be known to the civilians of Ishtar, Kiana, who had experienced the whole incident firsthand, had a completely different experience than her father.

The envy in the eyes of Kiana, who had put all her eyes and attention on Rod, was almost visible to the naked eye, and Kiana, who had been forced to be familiar with and follow the rules since she was a child, never thought that she could act as unscrupulously as Rod.

One enemy is one country, and finally forced his father to let go of the reading of the classics...... It's a scene that Kiana could never have dreamed of!

And now, this scene really appeared and happened in front of Kiana!

So, why was Rhodes so unscrupulous?

After a little thought, Kiana quickly came to a conclusion.

Because Rhodes is strong enough!

That's right, as long as it's strong enough, it's okay to do whatever you want - those bullshit rules are nothing to mention in the face of such a powerful force!

As long as you are strong enough, all the rules can only tremble in front of you, and no one can stand in front of you and say no!

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became—when her sisters empathized with Rod's persecution, all Kiana thought about was "what a husband should be".

Uh, well, not the big husband, it's "the queen should be like that".

Rhodes waved his sleeves and took away a cloud, but what he did had a profound impact on the ancient kingdom of Ishtar - whether it was the later reform of Ishtar or the empress's coup, if you trace back to the source, it seems to be inextricably linked to Rod's troubles.

Of course, Rod, who had returned to Leather City with Hakim and Cassadine, knew nothing about it - at this moment, Comrade Rhodes was immersed in the joy of exploring gossip.

That's right, on the very day that Hakim returned to Peel City, a secret gamble in Lower Zaun opened the market.

The content of the game is simple.
