After passing through the gate of time and space, Rhodes' figure returned to the teleportation monument in Saou City.
The sky is still shrouded in large black clouds. The dark sky blocks all spell detection and gathers more death energy for the creatures in the city.
Leah, who had returned to this place before, had disappeared. She must have returned to her residence first. Apart from Rhodes, the only ones present here were Rowling and Ghost Dragon.
The ghost dragon, surrounded by the aura of the netherworld, bent down his huge body and lay beside Luo Lin, while Luo Lin reached out and stroked the ghost dragon's head.
The ghostly aura surrounded Luo Lin's palm, but it did not cause any erosion to her. A necromancer with the ability to perform endless night rituals would naturally not be affected by the most basic ghostly energy around the ghost dragon.
Noticing the scene in front of him of the ghost dragon being completely controlled by Rowling, Rhodes seemed to remember something.
In Rhode's impression, Rowling seemed to have mastered a special ability that allowed her to bypass her own spiritual mark and directly control the ghost dragon. The existence of this ability was obviously beyond Rhode's expectation. The last one who could
The thing that transcends the spiritual imprint of the Necromancer and directly controls his undead creatures is the Ghost King's Cloak, a unique artifact.
Because of this, Rhodes wanted to know how she did this.
Feeling the doubts in Rhode's heart, Rowling showed a smile, without any intention of hiding anything, and immediately explained to Rhodes: "I control the ghost dragon with the help of the power of the spiritual imprint, but I use the spirit
The mark is not my own, but my brother’s.”
After hearing Rowling's explanation, Rhodes still felt a little confused and asked: "What do you mean? When I was exiled to the water elemental plane, the spiritual imprint could not be connected to the existence of the ghost dragon at all. How can you use it?"
The power of spiritual imprints?"
Luo Lin shook her head: "What I mean is not relying on the power of my brother's spiritual mark itself, but relying on the ability of perception to let Guilong feel it, similar to the order given by my brother through his spiritual mark, but the person who gave the order
Became me."
After Rowling's explanation, Rhodes also roughly understood why the ghost dragon obeyed her orders. Rowling should have used a certain ability in blood perception.
The spiritual mark possessed by Rhodes has not failed to control the ghost dragon from beginning to end, and Rowling relied on her ability to sense blood connections to imitate the breath of Rhodes' spiritual mark and issue orders to the ghost dragon.
Rhodes was naturally curious about the ability of blood connection perception. At the same time, he also had doubts. Even at this time, Rhodes still had not mastered this ability and could not use the power of blood connection perception to deal with Rowling's undead.
The creature can directly issue orders, but it can achieve this with the help of the existence of artifacts.
Rhodes realized that Rowling was able to achieve this because she had a new understanding of the ability to sense blood connections. Rhodes could clearly feel that during this period of time, Rowling's longing for herself would not be the same.
It's not because of disagreements over some things, the power of blood connection is even stronger.
As the two of them talked, Rhodes noticed that Rowling had not recovered from the marks left on her body due to the previous ritual. There was a large area of unnatural black and blue on the skin on one side of her face.
At the same time, part of the flesh and blood is missing, and the inside of the mouth can be vaguely seen, but there is no blood left.
At this time, Rowling's overall condition was not as good as that of those experienced necromancers in Rhode's impression, but it was not that good either. Rhodes realized that if he hadn't returned in time, Rowling's condition would still be worse.
It will be worse.
Noticing that Rhodes was looking at her, Rowling wanted to smile, but suddenly realized that her current appearance was not the same as before, so she turned her head slightly, so that the incomplete side of her face was covered by shadow, leaving only the intact face.
Turn your face sideways, facing Rhodes' direction.
Sensing the inexplicable emotion in Rowling's heart, Rhodes didn't say anything. He just walked forward slowly and reached out to touch Rowling's mutilated face, hoping to bring her back to face him.
The cold finger bones touched her face. Rowling panicked and reached out to hold Rhode's raised hand. At this time, she didn't want this defective face to appear in front of Rhode's eyes.
Sensing Rowling's current state, Rhodes did not forcefully turn her head to the side, but asked: "Do you care about my current state? My body without flesh and blood cannot let you feel it.
to any warmth."
Rod's question made Rowling come back to her senses, and then replied with some disappointment: "I don't care about this. It is my fault that caused this change in my brother."
Rhodes continued to ask: "What else? If I am already in this state when I return from the water elemental plane and have nothing to do with you, will you feel uncomfortable with me in this state?
”
This time, facing Rhodes' inquiry, Rowling glanced at him, shook her head vigorously, and replied: "I won't care at all. No matter what you become, you will always be my brother.
”
With that said, Rowling let go of Rod's hand and let him move her face to face him.
From Rhodes' words, Rowling already understood what he meant. Just as Rowling didn't care about the changes in Rhodes, Rhodes also didn't care about Rowling's abnormality at this time.
Under the influence of Rhodes' words, Rowling's mood improved a lot, and the erosion on her body caused by performing the ritual no longer bothered her. Before this, if it were not for the ritual, Rowling would naturally
I don’t want my body to be corroded by the energy of death.
Noting Rowling's state at this time, in Rhode's view, since she has not completed the first stage of the complete ritual, Rowling at this time can still restore all traces of erosion on her body through the existence of the energy-taking secret method, and rebuild her body.
Restore the original state, but Rhodes has difficulty achieving this.
The original Rhodes believed that the energy-absorbing secret method can restore all traces of erosion. Even the lich after completing the entire ritual can restore its original form through the energy-absorbing secret method. So there is obviously no problem in restoring Rhodes' own body. However, Elsa's previous words let Rhodes know that the recovery effect of the energy-absorbing secret method also has great limitations. The existence of this secret method can help the lich restore its human form, but it cannot restore it to its human form.
The senses they lost during the ceremony were restored together, and their senses after the effect of the secret method will not be any better than they are now.
