Chapter 1287 Balance
In Emerald City, Rhodes, who was meditating in the quiet room, suddenly noticed a change in his body.
This feeling is like a blocked nose from typhoid fever suddenly becomes unobstructed, and one can smell all kinds of smells, or like a body that has always been wearing a heavy coat and is suddenly exposed to the air.
The strange feeling forced Rhodes to interrupt the ongoing meditation and turned to look at his body.
Rhode noticed that at some point, his body returned to his human form, and he was no longer a skeleton body after undergoing the ritual. The original bones were covered with flesh and blood, and he looked no different from his former self.
In addition, Rhodes' perception was also restored, even more acute than before, able to sense all abnormalities around him.
Rhodes recalled that this special state of his body only appeared in one situation, and that was when he was beside North.
North, who was replaced with a lich arm, gained this unique ability. As long as he is by his side, all undead creatures will return to their original forms, while normal creatures will look like undead creatures.
For such an ability, Rhodes has a very deep impression. When Rhodes took Leah to find him, he felt this from him. Because of this unique ability, North can't even see Leah. look like.
At this time, Rhodes, who was meditating, returned to its original state inexplicably. Rhodes knew that this must have something to do with Noth. Obviously, during the time he was meditating, the centaur leader had taken Dia The royal family and their party were brought to the Emerald City.
What worries Rhodes is that North's ability seems to be effective for a long time once it is triggered. As long as he is within a certain range around him, he can enjoy the effect of this ability. A lich who regains consciousness will definitely rely heavily on this ability.
There was no sign of going to greet him, Rhodes got up to tidy up, and then waited for the arrival of North and his party.
Soon, the door of the quiet room opened slowly, and a figure came into the quiet room.
"It's you?" Rhodes was a little puzzled.
"Are you surprised to see me?" the visitor asked.
When he came to the quiet room, he closed the door of the quiet room. Soon, there was only a little fire in the small quiet room.
"You should stay in Diya,
Be your king of Diya well, and send your men when needed, instead of coming to the battlefield here in person, to participate in the battle that belongs to the Lich. Rhodes said in a deep voice, feeling dissatisfied with the person in front of him.
It was Catherine who appeared in front of Rhodes. In terms of identity, he was the king of the entire Diya, and his status was only lower than that of the Lich. Rhodes didn't know why he was here at this time. Coming here was somewhat beyond Rhode's expectations.
For ordinary necromancers, Catherine has a more symbolic meaning. The existence of Liches is undoubtedly too far away. Necromancers without strength are not qualified to hear the name of Liches. Ya's rule makes ordinary necromancers more familiar.
Because of this, according to Rhodes' original prediction, Catherine should stay in Diya and give orders to ordinary necromancers. At most, he would send some undead creatures to other areas instead of coming to the battlefield in person like now. Eli, once something happens to him, the whole battle situation will be affected.
"I won't stay in Eri for too long, and I will leave soon. I just have something to say, and I must chat with you." Catherine in human form said slowly.
Under the influence of North's unique ability, Catherine, who appeared in Rhodes' eyes, was also in human form. Compared with the form of undead creatures, he now has a special aura, which is a majesty that undead creatures have never had.
"What do you want to say? Don't say that Lich King is not enough, you should have enough undead creatures." Rhode said helplessly.
"Not these." Catherine shook his head: "I want to discuss with you about balance."
"Balance?" Catherine's words once again made Rhodes puzzled. Does balance refer to strength issues? Rhodes didn't understand that he hadn't heard such a special vocabulary from other creatures for a long time.
"Yes, balance, the balance between life and death." Catherine looked at Rhodes, "I believe you have seen those liches. When their strength is fully displayed, it is enough to shock all forces."
Rhodes nodded. Of course, Rhodes would not deny this, but he heard Catherine continue: "Any legendary creature with some knowledge knows that Lich accumulates power in Diya. Do you think they are Before that, why not unite and deal with the lich in advance, but let the lich accumulate power and threaten the entire continent?"
Rhodes replied disdainfully: "Because they are afraid of paying the price, Lich is not so easy to solve, not to mention, there are constant internal frictions within the same force, and it is even more impossible for other forces to truly unite. This is what you want Is it balanced?"
Catherine shook his head: "In a sense, your answer makes sense. But the real reason is that the accumulation of liches has not affected the balance between life and death."
Catherine raised his hand, and death energy condensed around him:
"Death is an inevitable part. Ordinary creatures cannot resist their own death. Even vampires can only rely on their own physique and long-term dormancy to delay the coming of decay. When the moment of death really comes, the soul gradually dissipates. The body left behind, as proof of death, will belong to the lich."
"In the long-term accumulation, liches will not take the initiative to destroy the balance between life and death, but accept the bodies of dead creatures. Sometimes, they will also come forward to maintain order in Diya, and eliminate some necromancers who have fallen into madness due to the pursuit of power .For them, this is also a move they have to make in order to maintain the existence of Diya."
"But now, these actions of yours have severely disrupted this balance, and death has become a mainstream, spreading across the entire continent. Lich does not want to see this happen."
Hearing the special meaning in Catherine's words, Rhodes said in a deep voice: "It seems that you don't understand that all the liches who joined this battle are their own choices, and I didn't force them to join. Unless, they choose to be my enemy."
Saying that, Rhode's gaze at Catherine turned cold, and the atmosphere in the field gradually became dignified.
