Just as Serena was hesitating, Rhodes kept thinking about it.
After the information from Margaret and multiple confirmations from the Thieves Guild, Rhodes already knew what happened in the forest of Eri.
Chief of the Guardians of the Jungle, the hero Gru has returned to Eli from the end of the ocean. Before returning, he froze Rhodes' marine commander Kegel, who came to Eri with him, as well as the legendary frozen sword.
Thinking of the Frozen Divine Sword, even Rhodes couldn't help but feel vigilant. In Rhodes' past life memory, it was not until the fourth expansion piece that the rumors of the divine sword were known to others, but the current process has been greatly advanced.
In the previous life, players were able to learn about the Sword of Ice, thanks to the hero Tanan.
Tanan in the previous life was resurrected by the reincarnation of the mage, and was immediately brainwashed by mental magic. Under the calculations of the mage, he entered the element plane alone, sealed the elemental monarch who endangered the world, and defeated the entire snowy area. The desperate hero Moriel, until the last moment, Tanan regained his past memories.
Tanan, who recovered his memory, immediately broke with the master of Brakada. After a series of hard battles, Tanan returned to his hometown, the Krulod Desert. However, what awaits Tanan is not the eager welcome of the barbarians, but the death threat from Kilgor, the new leader of Krulord.
There can only be one big leader in the entire Crulod desert. The return of Tanan is the last thing that the current big leader Kilgor wants to see. Among the savage creatures, Tanan has unparalleled prestige, and stories about him have always been sung by all savage creatures.
The barbarians at that time chose to form an alliance with the sorcerer, and Tanan's defeat of Moriel was a betrayal of this alliance, and also destroyed Morril's ambition to conquer Bracada. Kilgor used this as an excuse to claim that Tanan, who was resurrected from the dead, had completely surrendered to the mage who resurrected him, and ordered the rest of the barbarians to expel Tanan from the Krulod Desert.
The desperate Tanan was forced to the western coastal area of the mainland. He was completely disappointed with the clan, and he was disheartened. He led the barbarians who were still following him and sailed into the depths of the ocean. Even at this point, Kilgor was reluctant to let Tanan go, and instead sent his most trusted wife, the barbarian queen Ji Jia, to lead an army to pursue him.
Ji Jia led the barbarian's wooden battleship, and a large group of thunderbirds, chasing Tanan all the way on the ocean, and Tanan could only avoid it by boat. The sword" caught the eye.
It was also from those savage populations that the players at the time learned about the Sword of Ice. It was not until the beginning of the fourth expansion that players realized that at the end of the ocean that the draftsman had never been to, there was still a divine sword that changed the world.
The news also caused many players with high-level navigation skills to regret it. If they could sail to the end of the ocean ahead of time, maybe the frozen sword would be theirs, but it was too late at that time.
"It was so long in advance..."
What made Rhodes's heart congealed is that it has not yet come to the later stage of the third expansion, and the final competition of the kings to tear the earth has not yet begun. Even the protagonist of the third expansion, the master of the Blade of Doom. It is also rare to show up. In the past life, the Sword of Ice, which was supposed to be revealed when the third expansion piece ended and the fourth expansion piece was opened, now appeared in Eri ahead of time.
Thinking of this, Rhodes couldn't help but change his face slightly. His various actions along the way caused a powerful butterfly effect, and even Eli was influenced by him, and finally brought the Sword of Frost to life ahead of schedule.
During the second expansion period, Rhodes killed the previous chief of the jungle guardian, the oldest tree of wisdom, Yuk, and also brought a heavy blow to the elf kingdom. In addition, Moriel's call to the giant dragon also caused Eli's green and golden dragons to leave.
In order to save Eli in the doomsday, the hero Gru disregarded the dissuasion and resolutely went to sea, and finally brought back the Frozen Excalibur, which should have appeared in the fourth expansion. After a little thought, Rhodes realized his influence in this matter.
Recalling the process of the third expansion in his previous life, Rhodes couldn't help but lament the role Tanan played in it. Before that, who would have thought that the barbarian hero who had already fallen in the first expansion would actually change the direction of the entire world in the Doomsday War?
Now the direction of Tanan is completely different from the previous life. The elemental monarch who should have been sealed by him has now regained his full power and is gearing up to destroy the entire main plane; The inheritance of the dragon has awakened the power to reverse the past, and is preparing to marry Rhodes; the divine sword that should have been sought by him has also fallen into the hands of the Elf Ellie.
Rhodes just transformed Tanan into an undead, and he changed the direction of the entire world, making the future even more confusing. The greater the butterfly effect brought by Rhodes, the smaller the intelligence value of his past life in his memory. When the whole world goes in a completely different direction from the previous life, even if Rhodes remembers the information from the past life, it will not play much role.
Rhodes can't know the fate of the future. Except for the stigmata who are in charge of the field of destiny, no one can know the development of things. But Rhodes vaguely realized that some things cannot be changed, and that is the general trend of the expansion. Just relying on Rhodes himself, it is impossible to confirm what things will change, and what things will remain the same.
Since the hero Gru brought the Sword of Ice back to Eli, and the escaped mage from the Magic Guild happened to be among Eli, Rhode couldn't help but worry about the situation there.
With the fall of Mohan City, there are not many rebels left in Brakada, but this does not mean that the mages have completely given up. Even though their leader Serena has been captured by the enemy, the unyielding mages are still fighting. They are broken into pieces, hiding in the depths of snowy mountains, ice fields, and even under frozen rivers.
Brakada has a vast territory. In addition to the towns established by the mages, there are also large uninhabited frozen mountains on the edge of the continent, not to mention the ice fields that will never melt. An inch of land, otherwise it would be impossible to drive out and kill all those hidden mages.
Thinking of what happened on Eli's side, Rhodes worried that the mage hidden in the territory would eventually become a hidden danger in the kingdom of the dead, and this moved the idea of recruiting Serena. Only when she, as the leader, came forward, those mages would obediently evacuate.
