Chapter 256 Savior Rhodes

"The Pope has been to the Star Tower?" Ning Yuan's pupils shrank suddenly. He didn't even know that this happened... Was the Pope's actions too secretive, or did the people in the Star Tower intend to help judge the Temple Sect? Zong cover up this matter?

Perhaps it was a combination of both, Loch seemed very satisfied with Ning Yuan's shocked attitude, and said lightly:

"After the civil strife in the Apocalypse Legion began, the Pope came to the Star Tower alone and had a secret talk with me. It was precisely because of this night talk that I made up my mind not to interfere with the conduct of the Hall of Judgment."

"Why?" Ning Yuan stared into the eyes of the old fox Lohe and asked: "The Star Tower also has the idea of ​​competing?"

"You are wrong. The strength of the Star Tower is not offensive. When it comes to the sharpest spear in the federal forces, the Apocalypse Legion is the leader, followed by the Judgment Hall." Loch said seriously: "But the former's power form is too strong. Unstable, once they are allowed to grow up, it will only increase internal friction."

"You must think that the Apocalypse Legion's withdrawal from the war in the northern theater is caused by the Hall of Judgment and the Southwest Rebels, right? I believe many people have the same idea as you, but in fact they are not the teammates of the Southwest Theater Rebels."

"That is to say, the northern theater has long had the idea of ​​self-reliance, but it has been suppressed very well."

"What do you mean by letting them sit?" Ning Yuan keenly caught the wrongness in Luo He's words: "Why do you want to do this?"

"Because the terrible catastrophe in the prophecy is coming, the Federation needs a strong leader to lead us to fight against it." Loch said calmly: "The Apocalypse Legion is not suitable for this role of leader, and it needs to thoroughly polish its self-thinking , let it become an incomparably sharp weapon again."

"You mean that the Hall of Judgment is suitable for the role of this leader?" Ning Yuan frowned. It is undeniable that the strong religious color of the Hall of Judgment is indeed more united than a group of warlords, but the problem is obviously not that simple.

"Faith is a good thing, but sometimes it is used by people and becomes a tool to poison people." Ning Yuan asked back: "You think the group of warlords destined to split in the Apocalypse Legion are not suitable to sit in the palace, do you think the Hall of Judgment sits in the palace?" Will there be no trouble after that?"

"It's not that the Illuminati Church in history has never unified the mainland. Uncle Loch has also read history books. The consequences must be clearer than me."

"Well, you are right. The Judgment Hall and the Apocalypse Legion are like two apples with their own flaws. When you are thirsty, you can only choose a less rotten apple and bite it. As for whether it will spoil your stomach later, I don't think anyone would think about it for that long."

"As you said, the Church of Light in history also once unified the mainland, and priests and churches spread all over the world, so the worst result is just going back a few hundred years. Will something worse happen?"

"The Hall of Judgment leads wolves into the house. I can't agree with this alone." Ning Yuan said coldly: "Could it be that Uncle Luohe hasn't seen the battle report of the demons raging on the battlefield? Or are you so numb and cold-blooded that you can ignore the demons' charred creatures?" to the point where?"

"I really don't agree with the Demon Race." The old fox Loch pondered: "But they need such a force to break through the defense line of the Apocalypse Legion and end this tug-of-war. The longer this war drags on, the more the human race will The less likely it is to survive the catastrophe.”

"You've been talking about cataclysmic cataclysms...but isn't the biggest catastrophe right now the invasion of the demons?" Ning Yuan's tone was faintly tinged with anger: "The Apocalypse Legion can't withstand the impact of the demons. Could it be that the Star Tower Are you sure that He Judgment Hall can completely solve this uncontrolled force?"

Facing Ning Yuan whose anger was rising gradually, Luohe's expression remained unchanged. He seemed to not care about Ning Yuan's contradictory attitude at all, and just asked with a light smile:

"Do you know who opened the entrance to the barren world where the demons are?"

"How does that relate to what we're discussing now?"

"Of course it is related. Because the entrance was opened by the legendary card maker Rhodes and our Star Tower more than 600 years ago."

These words were very plain when the old fox said them, but in Ning Yuan's mind, it was as if a magic scroll of forbidden spell level had been thrown into Ning Yuan's mind, setting off a stormy sea.

Rhodes! ?It's him again!Why is there him everywhere!

"I know it's hard for you to believe this, and I am the same. If I hadn't checked the many clues left by the ancestors of the Star Tower, I would not have believed what the Pope said to me." Loch With a slight smile:
"About this legendary card maker, I don't think I need to go into details... You just need to know that the great prophecy of the Church of Light showed that Master Rhodes is the savior of the catastrophe."

"It is precisely because Rhodes is the savior that the Church of Light did not fight as desperately as other old magic classes... They half-cooperated with Master Rhodes to bury the magic age and created a new crystal card era."

"Facts have proved that the combat power of the crystal card era legion is indeed far beyond the group of magicians who are difficult to form effective combat power in the magic age. It is a pity that Master Rhodes is not willing to let the Church of Light unify the mainland, but created a federal structure to Check and balance them. The reasons for this are not understood by ordinary people..."

"It's probably because the Church of Light is secretly studying the flesh and blood crystal card." Ning Yuan suddenly said.

Luo He raised his eyes and looked at Ning Yuan with some surprise, and replied softly: "It seems that you know a lot."

"That's right, it was precisely because the Church of Light secretly researched the Flesh Crystal Card that Master Rhodes had a rift with them, which prevented them from unifying the continent, and they did not choose to join the federation, so what people are talking about is Five powers, not six."

Ning Yuan understood what he said. Loch's words explained one of his doubts at the beginning - when Master Rhodes overthrew the Magic Age, the resistance of the Church of Light was not very strong. It can be said that he joined the crystal card camp without much entanglement. This is actually a very unreasonable thing.

How could a force that has been rooted in the magic age for so long resolutely abandon magic because of the foresight of the upper-level leaders?That is no longer a strong man breaking his wrist, but a strong man committing suicide.Now it seems that it should be the mysterious big prophecy of the Church of Light that influenced them:

Rhodes is the savior, so it is right to follow him!He said that the age of magic is too decadent, so replace it with a crystal card with more advanced combat power!
Anyway, the words of the savior are always right!Crystal cards are powerful, so let's study crystal cards!Crystal cards made with dead things are limited in power, so it's better to make them with living things!
It's a pity that the direction of the lunatics in the Church of Illuminati was clearly not in the right direction, and after realizing this, Rhodes resolutely chose not to play with these lunatics.

"Under the guidance of the great prophecy, Master Rhodes took the magician's union at that time, which was the predecessor of our Star Tower, to the ruined jungle in the southwest of the mainland, and successfully opened up the border of the barren world with the help of the Frostmourne left by the Lich. One-way passage."

"Why do you want to open up the passage to the barren world?" Ning Yuan asked.

Loch shook his head: "No one knows why, and Master Rhodes didn't disclose it to anyone. Later, the Hall of Judgment slowly infiltrated, and used this channel to obtain the corpses of the demons to re-study the flesh crystal card."

"No... Rhodes' era has passed 600 years ago. Since you all believe that catastrophe will come, why didn't it come until the savior died?"

"Who told you that Rhodes is dead?" The old fox looked at Ning Yuan with a half-smile.

This sentence shocked Ning Yuan into a cold sweat... Rhodes is not dead?He lived 600 years?

If such an ancient god appeared in this world, it would probably set off monstrous waves.Among other things, his six-star base card maker status alone is enough to overturn the entire crystal card era.

"Rhode is in the Hall of Judgment?" Ning Yuan pondered for a moment and then denied: "No...impossible, Master Rhodes and the Hall of Judgment are not the same, even if he really has a way to achieve eternal life, it is impossible for him to entrust his fortune to something that he does not know. in the hands of someone you trust."

"Where is Master Rhodes now? Is this war planned by his shadow?"

Loch shook his head immediately when he heard the words: "I just said that Master Rhodes may not be dead, but I didn't say that he is still alive in this world."

"What do you mean?" The old fox's contradictory remarks made Ning Yuan frowned: "According to historical records, didn't Master Rhodes travel around in the end? There are often rumors that he went to a certain place in the mainland...you To say that he is not dead, but to say that he is not alive?"

"Historically, after the formation of the federal structure, he really let go of all his rights to roam around, but that's just the rhetoric in the history books. The truth of the matter is...Master Rhodes is actually missing."

The face of the old fox Loch showed a rare dignified expression: "Shortly after opening the passage to the Desolation Realm, Master Rhodes disappeared quietly, and the last place he visited before disappearing was the Forest of Fallen Light , which is the territory of the elves."

Ning Yuan remembered the six-star crystal card circle left by Master Rhodes in the elf mother tree, and his heart trembled slightly: "Did the elves do it?"

"No one has any evidence to prove that the elves assassinated Master Rhodes. With the close relationship between Master Rhodes and the elves at that time, I am afraid that no one would believe that the elves could kill a benefactor who led them out of the forest of falling light."

"So Rhodes disappeared instead of roaming? But what does this have to do with the catastrophe?"

"According to the various clues left by Master Rhodes, the Church of Light speculates that the source of the catastrophe may be in the Forest of Fallen Light. Rhodes probably touched the existence of the catastrophe back then, so he was killed quietly. "

Loch said in a deep voice: "For more than 600 years, the Judgment Hall has claimed to be the successor of Master Rhodes. The people in the Star Tower only participated in the opening of the passage in the barren world, but they don't know how that passage works. The Judgment Hall and the others It took a long time to find the place of the year bit by bit, contact the demons, and study the flesh crystal card."

"Because I was worried that it would startle the snake, the Judgment Hall has been afraid to take action against the Forest of Falling Brightness for nearly a hundred years. It can only carefully send all kinds of people who are apparently irrelevant to the Forest of Falling Brightness."

Loch paused and said, "The current Pope of the Hall of Judgment has been to the Forest of Fallen Light twice. Once when he was young, and the second time was when he took over the power of the Hall of Judgment and became Pope."

"What did he find?" Ning Yuan's heart tightened and he asked.

The elf mother tree crisis of the elves has been going on for many years. In fact, before Ning Yuan appeared, the elves would occasionally invite some capable people to come and take a look.But as far as Ning Yuan knew, those people in front were basically helpless.

The current Pope of the Judgment Hall should be among those people
"He discovered the crystal card that Rhodes left behind." Loch said: "This discovery has confirmed the current Pope's guess. He said that the source of the catastrophe is definitely in the Forest of Fallen Light. And the purpose of Master Rhodes to open up the barren world , just to drive away tigers and wolves, and use the demons to eliminate that terrible source of catastrophe."

"..."

The current Pope has also entered the interior of the elf mother tree?He also discovered the six-star crystal card array left by Master Rhodes?

This should be impossible, right?Ning Yuan himself was able to enter that mysterious space at the beginning because of a problem with the device he buried, and he only entered by chance. The current Pope of the Hall of Judgment does not have such a chance. How could he also discover this secret?
Many guesses flashed through Ning Yuan's mind like lightning, he shook his head to suppress the guesses in his heart, and asked instead:
"With such a playful guess, would Uncle Loch be willing to gamble with the current Pope of the Hall of Judgment? The horror and cruelty of the demons are unimaginable to ordinary people. If he guessed wrong, it would not be to drive tigers and wolfs away. Instead, they sent the sheep to the tiger's mouth."

"Before that, I had the same worries as you." Loch took out a battle report and pushed it in front of Ning Yuan: "But I think you won't think so after reading this."

Ning Yuan was slightly taken aback, took the battle report and glanced at it roughly, his eyes froze immediately, and slapped the battle report on the table:

How can it be!After breaking through the defense line of the Apocalypse Corps, the raging wave of demons didn't choose to continue attacking, nor did they choose to attack the Moonlight Association. They didn't even glance at the towns and residences that were within reach on the way, and went straight to the east. In the direction of the north, that is, the direction where the Falling Light Forest is located, they rushed away tirelessly!

In other words, this group of bloodthirsty demons didn't waste time to slaughter them. They had a clear goal, as if the direction of the falling forest had some kind of fatal attraction for them!

"This battle report..."

"It's absolutely true, it was sent over this morning, and there may be more in the future." Loch said lightly: "One thing is one thing, Master Rhodes opened up the passage to the barren world, as the current Pope guessed, it may be to drive away tigers." Swallow wolf."

"Of course, you don't have to worry. The cooperation between the Star Tower and the Judgment Hall is only established when the catastrophe really exists in the Forest of Fallen Light." Loch added: "If it turns out that there is no threat there, or if the threat is really demon If the clan is wiped out, the Star Tower will join in and join hands to fight against the demon clan."
