What Rowling said left Rhodes at a loss as to how to answer.
Regarding the stories in the poem, Rhodes and Rowling have completely different focuses. What Rhodes cares about, in addition to the traces of Sasha's existence, is the authenticity of the story itself.
Rhodes did not associate the poem with Sasha at first. What Rhodes was concerned about was the hints about the Silva family's treasures that might appear in the poem.
In addition to the combined artifacts, some treasures will also have special effects after being collected. Similar to the treasures of the Silva family that Rhodes obtained from the centaur leader, they have this effect. p>
When Rhodes came to the area where the centaur leader was, he searched for the treasures of the Silva clan, but found nothing. In this regard, Rhodes could only give up.
Rhodes's initial thought was that the poem might be related to these treasures, and perhaps there was some connection between the two that allowed them to perceive each other.
However, when the development of the story in the poem was beyond Rhodes' expectations, especially after Rhodes confirmed Sasha's existence from the poem, Rhodes' focus was no longer on those treasures, but on
On Sasha the Sorcerer.
As for what the story itself records, which is what Rowling cares about most, the love affair between the two Eli creatures, Rhodes doesn't care at all. This is just like what Rowling said.
For Rhodes, he has killed many elves and centaurs, so he is naturally not interested in their romance.
In addition to this point, the story itself is a bit difficult for Rhodes to accept.
Because of her identity as a magician, Sasha recorded this story, but in the story, the magic ritual was obviously beautified.
In the ritual book, there is no mention of where the creatures that failed to fuse went. It simply selects one of the special cases, the Silva Centaur, which combines the advantages of the two creatures, the elf and the centaur, for description.
If someone discovers the secret of the ritual book and deeply believes in the rituals recorded in the ritual book, then he will definitely perform the fusion ritual on other creatures according to the rituals recorded in the book.
Only then, when he sees with his own eyes the creatures he created according to the fusion ritual, will he understand this. This fusion ritual is not as beautiful as he thought.
The results of the fusion ritual have exceeded the range that the magician can control. Even the most powerful magician can only change the results of the fusion ritual within a small range. It is impossible to let one's imagination control the two creatures.
Fusion.
The fusion ceremony is full of unknowns. The environment of the ceremony location, the differences in the existence of individual organisms, the rejection of biological species, and the selection of the core of the ceremony will all affect the outcome of the ceremony.
According to the story recorded in the poem, Sasha taught the fusion ritual to the elf and asked him to prepare the ritual himself and perform it with the female centaur.
Fortunately, in the end, the ceremony was successful, and the elf and centaur merged perfectly to become the Silva Centaur, which symbolizes the fruit of their love. The poem recorded it and turned it into a beautiful love story.
Rhodes knew that Sasha would not do meaningless actions, and even in the stories she left behind, Sasha would not always play the role of a good person.
If there is a deviation in the fusion ceremony, or there is a mistake in a certain position, and the fusion of the elf and centaur fails, resulting in a weird and ugly creature, Sasha will also record it completely, and even change the entire poem.
tone, turning it into a deeply tragic story.
For Sasha, this may be just a small change. It only changes the content to be recorded in her poems. Other than that, it will not have much impact.
However, once that situation really happened, the impact on the two races at that time would be significant.
Due to the unknown nature of the fusion ritual, even Sasha has no way of knowing what will happen if elves and centaurs fuse before conducting a large number of experiments.
Once the fusion fails and that weird creature appears, the elves and centaurs will fall into an irreconcilable war, and history will also change. The centaurs will not settle in Eri, but will be expelled by the elves. And this is also what Sasha wants to see. Sasha just wants to record this period of history. Sasha doesn't care about the direction of history.
Rhodes believes that what Sasha is interested in is only the final fate of these centaurs. As for the love affair between the two creatures in the story and their fate, Sasha may not care too much.
After endless years, Rhodes has no way of guessing Sasha's strength and thoughts. Rhodes doesn't believe that Sasha, who has reached this level, will still care about every living thing she comes into contact with.
No matter what the final result is, Sasha's goal has been achieved. She plays an extremely important but easily overlooked role in the recorded stories.
After the fusion ceremony is successful, Sasha can praise the purity of the love between centaurs and elves in her poems, but when the fusion ceremony fails, Sasha can also criticize their love from all aspects. From the perspective of the recorder, Sasha
You can do this easily.
For all of Sasha's guesses, Rhodes can only make inferences based on his existing wisdom.
Sasha's ritual book is one of the few items in the surface world that records fusion rituals.
Strangely enough, since Sasha has existed for countless years, the Magic Guild must be well aware of its existence, but it did not ban the bard from going to Bracada, nor did it choose to collect and destroy what it left behind
ritual book, but let Sasha’s behavior go.
In addition to the players, the Magic Guild also spent a long time studying these behaviors of Sasha, but in the end they could only choose to ignore them.
The Magic Guild finally made such a decision, not only because it was difficult to deal with Sasha, but also because it understood its behaviors.
Going back to Rowling's original question, since Rowling only saw the story recorded by Sasha, she would naturally be affected by the tone of the poem, and she would naturally be moved by the love affair between the two creatures in the story.
However, after Rhodes deduced all the actions that Sasha had done, Rhodes could not feel any emotion towards these two creatures who had been under Sasha's control. Even the romance between them, in Rhodes' view
