Chapter 1169 Arrogance 2
Rowling's unkind words did not arouse Rhode's disgust. On the contrary, through what she said, Rhodes valued her more.
In Rhode's view, if it was another necromancer who dared to speak to himself like this, even Aaron who had always obeyed his orders, Rhodes would punish him. Only Rowling, Rhodes would not have such Instead of thinking, I will deeply remember what she said in my heart.
At this moment, Rhodes recalled Rowling's original words, and the arrogance already existed deeply in his heart. At this moment, even Rhodes himself felt this.
After realizing his original state, Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief. Just as Rowling said, this state has affected Rhodes' ability to judge and even affect the progress of the battle. If he fails to find out in time, As the battle continues, Rhodes may make extremely wrong decisions.
Fortunately, at this time, after Rowling's reminder, Rhodes also understood this point and was able to face up to the thoughts in his heart.
Under the influence of blood sense, looking at Rowling in front of him, Rhodes could feel her concern for herself, as well as a warmth unique to blood sense.
This unique feeling cannot be provided by anything else, and at the same time, it cannot be obtained by pretending at all. Even though he lost most of his perception ability, Rhodes can still perceive this from Rowling.
"I admit that there was something wrong with my actions, and I was wrong."
Hearing what Rhodes said, Rowling showed an expression of disbelief. Before that, she never thought that Rhodes would admit his mistakes.
According to Rowling's prediction, Rhodes is likely to forcibly end this conversation with other topics as in the past. Such a situation happened.
In addition to being surprised, Rowling was also delighted. Rhode's move naturally showed that he had listened to these words, and Rowling was naturally happy about it.
And in Rhodes' heart, as he uttered these words, the feeling was also different.
Arrogance stems from the self-importance, which curls up the infinitely vast and infinitely possible will in the small concept of "I".
Because you can only see yourself in your heart, you can't pay attention to everything else. All you see in your eyes is "what I care about". Naturally, you have no time to pay attention to the thoughts of other creatures. This is also the state Rhodes was in before.
Before that,
Apart from Rowling, the things that Rhodes pursued were those related to strength. Strength was undoubtedly the thing that best reflected himself. Rhodes' pursuit of strength was incomparably compatible with the arrogance in his heart, and it finally affected him. judge.
Fortunately, what Rhodes cares about is not only her own strength. Rowling is also the object that Rhodes cares about. Rhodes even cares more about her existence than the improvement of her strength.
Relying on Rhodes' concern, Rowling used her words to liberate Rhodes from his arrogant state, and any one who came here would not be able to achieve Rowling's effect.
Without Rowling's reminder, Rhodes would have realized this at some point.
After being pointed out by Rowling, Rhodes admitted his mistake, just to give up his original arrogance. Frankly admits his mistakes and does not look for any excuses. At this moment, Rhodes is no longer bound by previous concepts, and his will seems to have come to a wider space. Regarding this battle at this time, Rhodes also has different ideas. Less new perspectives.
After recovering, Rhodes noticed that Rowling was looking at her with a hint of joy in her expression. At this time, she was also happy for her changes. Rhodes could clearly feel this in his heart, which was undoubtedly firm. his thoughts.
Following the hint in the perception of blood relationship, Rhodes reached out and turned Rowling's eroded side face to himself, looking at the sunken purple-black marks on half of the side face, and the shriveled cheeks that had no blood flow. It was Rhodes at this time, and he still felt a pang of regret in his heart.
"You haven't answered my question yet. Why don't you use the Conjuration Secret to restore it? Is this what you want?" Once again, Rhodes asked Rowling his own question, hoping to get an answer from her.
Different from the previous orders, from Rhodes' words, Rowling could feel a sense of concern, which also made Rowling feel warm in her heart.
Holding the cold finger bones on her cheeks, Rowling turned her face to the side, facing Rhodes with the side with the intact face again, trying to hide the face with the incomplete side in the shadows.
"Because I want to maintain a consistent state with my brother, when my brother recovers, I will choose to recover."
Hearing Rowling's reply, Rhodes sighed deeply: "Why are you bothering?"
Rowling laughed: "It's my choice."
Seeing what Rowling said, Rhode didn't try to persuade him any more. He knew that if Rowling didn't want to, it would be useless to say anything.
All Rhodes can do is to keep the restoration of human form in mind, and prepare to find time to use the energy-absorbing secret method to achieve this.
According to the information that Rhodes had learned before, the energy-absorbing secret method cannot restore the transformation of the endless night ritual, it can only make the body look the same as ordinary people again, but the recovered body will not have the perception that human beings should have.
Previously, Rhodes had been experiencing a body similar to that of a lich. Since the effect of the energy-absorbing secret method could not restore the perception of the human body, it was only a change in shape, so Rhodes did not have much interest in it. .
For Rhodes, with the blessing of the artifact, extremely precious high-level undead creatures can be transformed at will, and it is not difficult to restore the body to its original form.
Now, since Rowling hopes to restore her previous form, Rhodes will not continue to insist on it, just restore it as soon as possible.
According to Rhodes' understanding of the secret method of energy absorption, only a sufficient number of undead creatures can complete the recovery of the form, but no other materials are needed.
The casting of the Energy Containment Secret Art requires a period of preparation, and it must not be done in this kind of place. Rhodes then gave Rowling a few instructions, and Rowling left satisfied after listening.
Rowling, who has left, will go to the mines around the Emerald City to find the hidden space gems and transport other necromancers.
With Rowling's departure, Rhodes turned his gaze to Vera, who was about to deal with the Necromancer at this time.
