Chapter 3138 Reaching an Agreement

"Do you know her?" Looking at Catherine on the other side of the thin flame curtain, Rhodes took out a parchment. After unfolding the parchment, what was drawn on it was a woman with a round face and narrow cheekbones. The woman wore dark eye shadow, which also made her look more noble. Looking at the parchment that Rhodes took out, Catherine frowned slightly: "Who is she? Lord of the Undead, you might as well speak clearly, I don't have time to play riddles with you." Seeing this, Rhodes just shook his head, and then explained: "The one drawn on the parchment is Seferos, the sorcerer powerful in the underground world. To be precise, it is Seferos Griffinhart. She is the old man. The illegitimate daughter of the Griffin Heart King should be half-sisters in terms of seniority." Hearing this, Catherine on the other side of the thin screen just snorted: "Listen to what you say, I actually remembered who she was. There are many people in this world who like to daydream and imagine that they can be connected with the royal bloodline. The Saferos you mentioned is one of them. Her deeds have always been mentioned by people in Erathia. Listening to her as a joke, do you think her words can count?" Seeing that Catherine always looked confident in her words, Rhodes was also vaguely aware of her reliance, and the Erathians began to Seferos's identity has not been acknowledged, and Seferos's words have no credibility in Erathia. If Rhodes only intended to use this as evidence, then he had obviously made a mistake. Seeing this, Rhodes was not impatient. With the blessing of god-level wisdom, Rhodes had already prepared countermeasures for all kinds of refutations that Catherine might make, and would not be worried about the words. Irritated after losing the momentary confrontation, she changed her explanation and said: "Perhaps Seferos's words do not have much credibility in Erathia, but that does not mean that she has all kinds of secrets about King Erathia. Things, especially those secret treasures that only the king can master, know less than others." Hearing this, Catherine raised her eyebrows slightly, and then heard Rhodes say: "Hero Catherine, I have the eternal magic eye The power of Erathia, which is not shrouded in darkness. Every inch of land and all the changes that occur in it can be said to be under my close surveillance. I have been observing you for some time. That ancient token left a very deep impression on me. You seem to have always carried that token with you, and it was inseparable at all times."After hearing the words from Rhodes' mouth, Catherine's expression finally changed. Even the anger that was originally used to cover up her panic could not be maintained at this moment. In the end, she just clenched her fist tightly and said: "What do you know about that token?" As if he sensed the temptation in Catherine's words, Rhodes couldn't help but smile. This was undoubtedly a good sign. Catherine's inquiry at this moment could only prove that he had indeed revealed the secret of Catherine's treasure. "I heard from Saferos that it was a treasure that only the King of Erathia was qualified to wear. It was the heroic order that King Griffin Heart formed an alliance with many heroes in the kingdom during the most prosperous period of Erathia. .The Hero Order can not only inspire the will existing in a person's heart, thereby identifying whether he has the potential to become a hero, but it can also be used to completely conceal the aura of a hero. Among the kings of Erathia in the past, there are also a few heroes who have awakened their will. But under the cover of the Hero Order, the identity of the hero is hidden. Now you carry that token with you every step of the way, just to use the power of the token to hide the identity of the hero." br>After listening to Rhodes' words, Catherine's expression completely darkened, and she clenched her teeth for a moment. It was not because Rhodes' words were unbearable for her as the contemporary Griffin Heart King, but because everything was... Rhodes was right. Whether it was the hero's identity or the Hero's Order covering up the hero's will, all the secrets that should have been known to no one except Catherine were revealed by Rhodes at this moment. Seeing that Catherine was silent for a while, Rhodes just shook his head and said: "Being a hero is not an unacceptable thing. On the contrary, in other times, if the Erathians knew it, The Griffin Heart King who led them actually awakened the supreme will and was blessed with the power of a hero. That was even more morale-boosting news. Unfortunately, such an era is gone forever. From the Stigmata The power of destiny cannot tolerate heroes in the world. I think the moment you agreed to the request of the Stigmata and expelled the heroes from Erathia, you did not expect that your identity would be seen through by others. For a moment." Facing Rhode's words, Catherine looked cold and had no intention of giving Rhode a good look: "The people of Erathia will not believe your nonsense, even if you tell the truth. , and no one will believe you. People will only believe my words. You must know that I am the Griffin Heart King, and no one dares to speak ill of their king." Seeing this, Rhodes just shrugged, Unexpectedly, Catherine still looked confident in the face of the evidence that had been completely placed in front of her. As the ruler of Erathia and the Griffin Heart King of this generation, she certainly did not have to worry about criticism from other people. The only ones who can restrain her are the ancient beings in Yunzhong City.

In this regard, Rhodes also changed his mind at this moment and instead made a proposal that made Catherine somewhat concerned: "Hero Catherine, I have no intention of revealing the news. If not, I would not be here. I am contacting you now, but directly spreading those rumors about heroes. Maybe it will not be me who finds you, but the angel in the cloud. I am very curious, when the angel came to you and asked you to take out the Hero Token At that moment, something will happen. But compared to that, I have a better proposal." Sensing the undisguised threat in Rhodes' words, Catherine took a deep breath, as As King of Erathia, she faced either polite ministers or loyal guards. When had she ever encountered such a threat? But the situation mentioned in Rhode's words is something that Catherine has to worry about. If those rumors that are unfavorable to her reach the ears of the angels in the cloud, who knows what those angels will do? When the doomsday comes, even the angels in the clouds cannot ignore the possible turbulence and forcibly dethrone Catherine from the throne and expel her from Erathia. Doing so will inevitably bring disaster to the doomsday. The unsustainable Erathians brought an even more painful blow. But the reduction of power is inevitable, which is undoubtedly a situation that Catherine does not want to see. Listening to what Rhodes said, he seemed to have other ideas. Even though Catherine knew that he might not have any good intentions, she still could only follow his words: "What are your suggestions? You might as well tell me. Listen." Seeing that Catherine finally got to the point, Rhodes did not hesitate and directly stated his proposal: "I need information about a noble mage who taught under you. Xun served as a hero, and was subsequently expelled from Erathia by you because of his status as a hero. The name of that mage is Cuthbert. If you can give me the detailed information about Cuthbert, I will not do it again. It depends on whether you are a hero." Cuthbert, the owner of the earth magic book, is also the next target that Rhodes is looking for in order to fight against the earth elemental monarch. According to the information given by the Thieves Guild, Cuthbert should have gone to Eli with other expelled Erathian heroes, thus gaining protection from the Elf Kingdom. However, the Eternal Demonic Eye came This was not the case according to the intelligence. Rhodes did not find any information about Cuthbert's whereabouts in Eli. He only stayed in Eli for a short time and then disappeared. After several searches to no avail, Rhodes had no choice but to focus on the source of Cuthbert, which was in Erathia. Perhaps those Erathians had something to do with Cuthbert. Sibert's detailed information allowed Rhodes to speculate on the whereabouts of the noble mage. In order to obtain Cuthbert's information, ordinary Erathians were naturally not considered by Rhodes. Only those nobles with high positions could possibly know the detailed information of the noble mage. Rather than risking interference from the Destiny Realm by arresting nobles one by one from Erathia for questioning, Rhodes also chose a more straightforward approach, which was to directly ask Erathia's gryphon heart. The king is Catherine on the other side of the thin curtain. In the ordinary way, let alone asking for information from Catherine, even if Rhodes had just appeared in front of her, she would have received a rather contemptuous look. Then at her call, the angel was determined to It would give Rhodes a powerful lesson, but I'm afraid there would be no gains at all, but the current situation is different. Catherine's heroic status also puts her in a very passive position, which gives Rhodes an opportunity. Can be multiplied. Listening to Rhodes' inquiry, Catherine frowned for a moment, as if she couldn't believe everything in the words. She thought that Rhodes would definitely make a request that she couldn't bear, but she didn't expect to master it. Rhodes, who was so secretive, actually just asked her for information about a mage under his command, and then couldn't help but asked: "Is that all? If I tell you the news about Cuthbert, you will You won't talk about my status as a hero anymore? That's all?" Hearing this, Rhodes couldn't help but shrugged and said in a very calm tone: "What else do you want? ?According to my inference, even if I publicize the news widely, it will be difficult to achieve any real effect other than damaging your prestige in the hearts of the Erathians. There is a 71% probability that the Stigmata will retain you for the time being. As the Griffin Heart King, you will not be allowed to abdicate until the end of the Doomsday War, and choose a successor to the Griffin Heart King's throne from the collateral bloodline of Griffin Hart. Of course, all of that The premise is that you can still survive until the end of the Doomsday War. There is a 27% chance that you will be plotted by fate and die in a relatively reasonable way on the throne of the Griffin Heart King. Above. Your death will become the saddest moment in the Doomsday War. All Erathians will be inspired by your death and turn all their faith into the arms of the Stigmata. That is not What I expect to see." Listening to the words without any emotion in Rhodes' mouth, even Catherine, the King of Erathia, couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaimed at this moment, "No! Thinking of the tragic consequences of the hero's identity being revealed, it was far beyond Catherine's imagination, and for a moment she couldn't breathe at all.

There was a convincing magic power in Rhode's words that were so calm that they could not be refuted. Even Catherine couldn't doubt Rhode's words after hearing them. Looking at Rhodes on the other side of the thin curtain, Catherine also felt a little wary in her heart. Even in front of King Erathia, Rhodes looked calm, even his The words made it impossible for her to find any refutation. In addition to being vigilant, Catherine also felt a little emotional in her heart. She learned more about the various rumors about Rhodes from the reports of other ministers under her. One or two, she didn't expect that at the first sight, even through the thin flame curtain, she could feel the unusually strong aura of Rhodes. Even Catherine, who was supposed to be Rhodes's enemy, couldn't help but praise Erathia's great enemy at this moment. Catherine would never underestimate or belittle any enemy, even if it was a fierce and cunning one like Rhodes. When Catherine found something to be worthy of, she would not hesitate to praise her enemy. "If I calculated correctly, then there should be only a ninety-eight percent probability, right? What will happen to me in the remaining two percent probability?" I couldn't control the feeling in my heart. Out of curiosity, Catherine took the initiative to ask Rhodes. Facing Catherine's inquiry, Rhodes just smiled faintly: "Believe me, that is definitely not what you want to see. Now, tell me your answer, and use Cuthbert's information in exchange for What do you think of my sealing your status as a hero?" Seeing that Rhodes attached so much importance to the noble mage's information, even to the point of extreme urgency, Queen Catherine couldn't help it. After taking a look at Rhodes, no matter why Rhodes wanted Cuthbert's information, looking at the transaction in front of her, it seemed that Catherine was not at a loss. "Then it's settled." Now that the secret about the Hero Order has been revealed by Rhodes, Catherine no longer denies the fact that she is a hero. , and then readily agreed to Rhodes' request. Anyway, judging from the transaction results alone, Catherine could accept it. Hearing this, Rhodes on the other side of the thin curtain also smiled a little.
