Following Queen Catherine's order, it didn't take long for the Royal Crusaders, who were loyal to her, to bring her several parchments. The parchments recorded on them were secret information that was only circulated within the royal family.
Looking at the other side of the thin flame curtain, where Rhodes was waiting eagerly, Catherine did not hesitate. Now that she had reached an agreement, as the Griffin Heart King, she also showed the magnanimity and courage of a king, and began to help Rhodes.
Rhodes at the other end of the curtain recited the information on the parchment:
"Cuthbert was officially ennobled twenty years ago and became a baron of Erathia. Since he was a child, he has shown an amazing talent in magic, so he was specially invited to stand.
Wake studied magic at the Royal Knights Academy. The instructors in the academy were full of praise for his talent in spell casting. His talent also attracted the jealousy and rejection of many noble children, who even planned to drive him out of the common people.
He left the Royal Knights Academy. Fortunately, the high priest Adriatic took a fancy to Cuthbert's talent. Under the recommendation of the high priest, Cuthbert received the joint recommendation of three noble mentors and went to the most prosperous place in magic.
Lakada Holy Spirit Magic Academy, under the guidance of Archmage Eric, conducts in-depth research on magic."
Speaking of this, Catherine paused and couldn't help but glance at Rhodes. Twenty years ago, Catherine was just a little girl who didn't understand anything. She was not the king of Erathia now. She was full of energy at that time.
The mysterious color and magical power of Bracada also made Catherine yearn for it. Unexpectedly, time has passed and the once glorious Bracada has been completely conquered by the man on the other side of the flame curtain.
Thinking of all that Rhodes has done, even Catherine, the King of Erathia, couldn't help but smack her lips slightly at this moment. It is not an easy task to conquer the snowy areas where those mages are located.
, even she, as the Griffin Heart King, can say there is nothing she can do about it, but Rhodes has done this. It has only been a few years since Rhodes rose to prominence on the mainland, but it is precisely this
In just a few years, the power structure of the mainland has undergone earth-shaking changes.
"Holy Spirit Magic Academy...that's a good place."
Hearing the name of the academy mentioned by Catherine, Rhodes shrugged and couldn't help but say. In addition to the academy, Catherine's words also mentioned a character who was quite impressive to Rhodes. Archmage Eric, that person
He is the teacher of Sandru, the protagonist of the second expansion pack. In the past, Rhodes was able to win the Ghost King's cloak, and it was indispensable for that mage's contribution.
After glancing at Rhodes, Catherine quickly returned to the topic, stared at the second half of the parchment, and continued: "In the Holy Spirit Magic Academy, Cuthbert met his future wife Merry, and Merry also
She is from Erathia and is the daughter of the Earl of Dongling City. After several years of study, the two got married successfully after returning to Erathia. Their study trip in the mage country should have become a good story in Erathia.
, However, the good times did not last long. Merry died of illness a few years after their marriage. Cuthbert was deeply hit, and his enthusiasm for magic collapsed. For many years, no further research results on magic were released."
"Of course, this is just a folk saying in Erathia. There are also completely different records in the royal records about the cause of Meili's death." Catherine put down the parchment in her hand and looked at Rhodes on the other side of the thin curtain.
Then he continued, "According to the investigation by the priests, Cuthbert was obsessed with dark magic. It was the accident that occurred while studying dark magic that led to Merry's death. Speaking of dark magic, you should be better than
Everyone should be familiar with it.”
Rhodes did not deny this. As the Lord of the Undead, his mastery of various undead magics was far superior to other necromancers. The power of god-level spiritualism was also no joke, and he slowly spoke.
Said: "What kind of magic is Cuthbert studying? If it is just spiritualism, it is the power to resurrect the dead. How can it not kill the living?"
As if she sensed the pride in Rhodes's words that her power transcended life and death, Catherine couldn't help but glared at him. If it were anyone else who dared to discuss spiritualism in front of King Erathia, she might even lose her own life.
She didn't even want her life anymore, but facing Rhodes, even if Catherine was angry, she could only endure her anger. Who let Rhodes get the advantage of her being a hero?
Catherine had no choice but to explain: "What Cuthbert was obsessed with was not spiritualism, but curse magic. It was the backlash of curse magic that took away Merry's life. Under the mixed emotions of regret, Cuthbert
Sibert awakened the will that belongs to a hero, as if fate wanted to play a joke on him. His heroic specialty is exactly the curse magic he studied so hard."
After hearing Cuthbert's experience, Rhodes couldn't help but nodded. Even though he had memories of his past life and could know the secrets of many heroes, not all heroes were in Rhodes' memory.
Within the range, such as Cuthbert in front of him, with the blessing of god-level wisdom, Rhodes can recall all the known information about himself in the previous life game, but he still does not know the information about Cuthbert.
"Fate is so cruel, why do heroes still submit to fate?" Rhodes sighed.
After understanding Cuthbert's experience, many of the confusions that existed in Rhodes's heart were finally answered at this moment. For example, the most critical point is why Cuthbert possesses the magic object that is enough to restrain the earth elemental monarch, the earth element.
Magic book. I think the reason why Cuthbert went to find the earth magic book was to use the reincarnation of one of the earth magics recorded in the book to resurrect his dead lover.
Rhodes did not delve into how Cuthbert obtained the earth magic book. For a hero who is obsessed with becoming a body, there is nothing they cannot do, let alone for their dead lover.
If you collect earth magic books, even if you kill the devil of hell, there are heroes who can do it.
Seeing Rhodes's expression of understanding, as if something that was bothering him had been solved, Catherine couldn't help but glance at him: "There is still some information about Cuthbert. After his wife died,
He was not in Erathia for a long time, but spent time in the elemental plane. However, even the royal family's informants could not collect detailed information about what he experienced in the elemental plane. After all,
The elemental plane has long exceeded Erathia's sphere of influence."
Rhodes nodded and listened to all the information provided by Catherine. He also had a definite guess in his mind about Cuthbert's current whereabouts. He just waited to see the mage and get it from his hands.
The last miraculous thing that can restrain the earth elemental monarch. At that time, Rhodes can launch a monarch war against Edmund.
"Thank you for your cooperation, Hero Catherine...or, Queen Catherine." As if he thought of something, Rhodes changed his words at the last moment.
Hearing the hint of warning hidden in Rhode's words, Catherine couldn't help but glare at him: "Lord of the Undead, I have told you the information you want. I hope you can keep your promise and don't
No more talking about heroic things."
Seeing this, Rhodes just laughed: "You can rest assured about this. Revealing the news that you are a hero will not do me any good. After all, the real power of Erathia in the Doomsday War is not the body.
You, the Griffin Heart King, are the angels in the clouds and the Stigmata who control destiny. As I said, I don’t want the entire Erathia to become monolithic because of your sacrifice.
Even I don’t want to see the power of faith gathered from countless Erathians.”
After hearing this, Catherine's expression improved slightly. Although Rhode's words were not very pleasant, they did express his attitude, that is, he would not make a big deal about being a hero.
Just make a fuss and this matter can be considered a thing of the past.
As if thinking of something, Catherine took a deep breath at this moment, turned to look at Rhodes on the other side of the flame curtain and said: "Before you, there was also someone who recognized my hero identity, but unlike you, he did not
You didn't threaten me with this matter, you just told me to be careful about my fate and stopped contacting me. When I heard that you could recognize my hero identity, I thought you got it from that person.
information."
Listening to Catherine's words that were full of fear but not unpleasant at the same time, Rhodes couldn't help but frown. Who on earth could identify Catherine's heroic identity earlier than himself? Once the secret was revealed to more people,
If people know it, it can no longer be called a secret. For this reason, Rhodes needs to find out the identity of the person: "Who is the person you are talking about?"
Catherine just answered slowly: "That man is the first hero in the world. He asked me to stand on the side of the hero and fight against fate. He said that he would eradicate all the zombies in the world and only let the heroes stay in this world. And I
Tell him that that is impossible, I will fight for all Erathians, and in the name of Griffin Heart King, I will protect all Erathians."
From Catherine's words of vowing to fight evil to the end, Rhodes also heard who the person she was talking about was. The person who vowed to eradicate all zombies in the world and leave only heroes in the world was not the first person.
The protagonist of the three expansion packs, who is Lucifer, the Lord of Hell who symbolizes the hero in the Doomsday War?
Unlike Rhodes, the Lord of Hell did not make a big fuss about Catherine being a hero, but invited her to join the heroes and bring the doomsday to the world together. This is of course impossible for Catherine
Things, let alone the fact that Catherine is the current Griffin Heart King, it is impossible to betray Erathia. Just the horrific decision to kill all non-heroic creatures is impossible to get Catherine's approval.
Rhodes also vaguely heard that Lucifer was gathering heroes from all over the world to judge the walking corpses in the world. There was no other reason. Even the death knights under Rhodes were also invited by the Lord of Hell, but they were bound by the spiritual imprint.
Under this circumstance, no death knight betrayed Rhodes.
As the first hero in the world, Lucifer has a strong connection with other heroes. The person who first broke fate and brought the heroic will to the world was Lucifer himself. It is not even fair to say that he is the source of all heroes in the world.
However, no matter how hard Catherine used the power of the Hero Order to conceal her identity, all her methods were in vain in front of the world's first hero.
Even Rhodes did not expect that Lucifer would actually invite Catherine, the King of Griffin Hearts, to join the heroic side of the trial of the walking corpses in the Doomsday War. As the King of Erathia, Catherine would certainly not betray her.
people.
Looking at Catherine on the other side of the thin curtain, Rhodes was silent for a moment, and finally said: "We will meet on the battlefield in the doomsday battle. At that time, let me experience the power of Erathia.
"
Catherine nodded. It can be said that Erathia has irreconcilable conflicts with Rhodes, who commands many undead. When the doomsday comes, they will definitely compete in the doomsday battle.
Seeing that he had obtained the needed information, Rhodes was about to leave when he heard Catherine ask: "Cuthbert is just an ordinary noble mage, why do you want his information?"
Listening to Catherine's question, Rhodes just smiled slowly and said: "Queen Catherine, I think you have forgotten one thing. While being a mage, Cuthbert is also a hero. Heroes can always do something.
There is something beyond the reach of ordinary people. There is something very important to me about Cuthbert. No matter what, I have to get it in my hands, but his whereabouts are always a mystery."
Hearing this, Catherine nodded slightly. Judging from the fact that Rhodes was so eager for Cuthbert's information, it seemed to explain why Rhodes clearly had such important information, but only used it in exchange for an unknown person.
Information about the mage.
"So, have you found Cuthbert's whereabouts? Since the heroes were expelled from Erathia, even I can't know their specific whereabouts." Catherine blinked and asked again.
"Of course." The answer to Catherine was Rhode's confident answer. Under the analysis of divine wisdom and combined with the information given by Catherine, Rhodes had already guessed Cuthbert's current location, but this answer
, Rhodes didn’t need to tell King Erathia on the other side of the thin curtain, so as to avoid any accidents.
Seeing that Rhodes had no intention of sharing the news with her, Catherine couldn't help but snorted coldly. Once upon a time, as the Griffin Heart King, she had never enjoyed such treatment, even if it was the most unknown secret in the territory.
, as the King of Erathia, she was also the first to know. Unexpectedly, she was stunned in front of Rhodes. This also made her feel quite unhappy, and she couldn't help but glare at Rhodes.
One glance.
"Put away the flame crystal, maybe I will contact you again in the future." After a final reminder to Catherine, Rhodes waved his hand, and the thin curtain in front of him disappeared. After learning Cuthbert's whereabouts, Rhodes
No longer waiting, immediately prepare to go to the area where the mage is.
