After rewarding the head chef, Rhode caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the busy back kitchen. When Rhode saw the figure, he was stunned for a moment, almost unable to believe what he saw, and after confirming that he was right, he walked over.
Noticing the pure white six wings facing away from him, and the angel who was constantly busy in front of the bellows oven, concentrating on regulating the temperature of the flame, Rhodes couldn't help scratching his head, and then asked: "Angel of Andorra, are you here?" do what?"
The one who was busy in front of the oven was none other than the former holy angel. Rhodes didn't expect to see her here, and he seemed very surprised for a while.
"My lord Rhodes, I heard that you ordered the recruitment of top chefs for the banquet." Noticing Rhodes' arrival, Andor put down his hands and saluted Rhodes respectfully, revealing a tranquility in his gestures Danya.
"I did issue this order." Rhodes couldn't help but glanced at her, with suspicion in his eyes, "But as mentioned in the order, I want to recruit top chefs. Can the food be compared with a chef like Nomifin?"
"Of course." Andor smiled slightly, "Everyone who has eaten the bread I baked has said good things about it. In the past, my son and grandson loved eating the bread I made the most. , but if you think about it carefully, it was already hundreds of years ago, maybe people's tastes have changed now."
Hearing this, Rhodes seemed to think of something: "Are they still alive?"
"They are all dead." Andor replied with a smile, "They betrayed their beliefs, so I erased their souls with my own hands."
Rhodes: "..."
Rhodes could tell that Andor was not lying. In that angel's heart, her faith was above all else. No matter the fetters contained in blood or the trials brought about by suffering, she could not shake her heart.
When future generations turn their backs on that belief, the Angels of Andorra will never show any mercy, and will definitely impose the harshest judgment on them, even if they want to kill them. That unshakable piety and Firmness is the reason why she can become a holy angel.
The former Angel of Andor, relying on the protection of faith and fate, once pushed Rhodes into a desperate situation. It happened that the spiritual elemental monarch intervened in that battle, allowing Rhodes to find an opportunity from it, and then he killed the angel in one fell swoop. Subdue her, otherwise Rhodes really doesn't know how to deal with her. After all, it is not an illusion right now. Apart from the Doomsday Blade, Rhodes has no other means to break the protection of fate.
"Do you have any other blood relatives?" Shaking his head, Rhode couldn't help asking Andorra. He really wanted to know what happened to Andorra's other blood relatives. They couldn't all be wiped out by her, right?
"Let me think about it..." Andor blinked, showing a somewhat thoughtful look, "I have no other blood relatives, but I do have an adopted son. Judging from the good and bad candidates of this generation, he should be in our After that, he will succeed to the position of Holy Inquisitor Angel."
"What?" Rhode was taken aback for a moment. From the narration of the Angel of Andorra, he also learned an unheard of information.
With the spread of the Doomsday War, the new generation of holy angels will surely become Rhodes' enemy in Cloud City. Rhodes still remembers how terrifying Andorra showed under the protection of fate. The power and influence also made Rhodes full of curiosity and vigilance towards Andor's adopted son who succeeded the Holy Judgment Angel.
What made Rhodes slightly relieved was that if anyone knew the new Holy Tribunal Angel best, that person must be Andorra. From Andor's narration, Rhodes can also get sufficient information.
"Tell me about the adopted son."
Thinking of this, Rhodes became energetic immediately, and then asked Andor about the news of the adopted son.
Facing Rhodes who was in a hurry, Andor just smiled, opened the oven unhurriedly, took out the hot bread from the oven, and handed it to Rhodes, the rich crispy aroma immediately hit his nostrils come.
Rhodes took the hot bread and replaced it with someone else. If he just took the hot bread just out of the oven, his palms would probably be blistered, but Rhodes, who has sufficient fire resistance, is obviously not afraid of this, even if he is in the In the hot magma, Rhodes will not frown, and it is no problem to take the freshly baked bread.
"His name is Isaac."
Andor spoke at this time, introducing information about her adopted son to Rhodes: "He is the son of an ancient saint. Since he was sacrificed to the gods by his father when he was ten years old, I have been in the cloud Taking care of his soul, I taught him to maintain the piety of faith, I told him to fight for justice, and he lived up to my expectations, and became a saint who walked the world in the future."
Rhodes nodded, remembering the name Isaac in his mind. With the approach of the end of the war, as the main general of the cloud city, the holy angel will definitely do something, but Rhodes doesn't know, he Will you threaten yourself.
"By the way, he also likes to eat the bread I bake." Andor added at this time, "When he succeeds to the position of the holy angel, some of my abilities will be completely invalidated, and the soul-killing Power, and only the holy angels of each generation can have it."
Hearing this, Rhodes couldn't help but close his eyes and meditate. Andor's soul-killing breath is the signature ability of the holy angel, and it is also the most intense offensive method derived from the field of destiny. When the new generation of holy angel officially succeeds, this ability will be completely invalid from Andor , and turned to the new generation of holy angels, that is, Isaac.
Each generation of holy angels uses the power of destiny differently. Putting it on Andor, it is an angel breath with both gentleness and beauty. But Rhodes doesn't know that Isaac will use this power again to what extent.
After confirming this result, Rhodes couldn't help shaking his head. The power of the new generation of holy angels is the same as that of Andorra in the past. Even Rhodes couldn't find a suitable way to deal with the unstoppable Holy Judgment Angel. Andora had caused Rhodes many troubles before. What kind of battle to face.
Thinking of this, Rhodes couldn't help sighing: "It seems that even if we can find a way to eliminate the next Holy Tribunal Angel, it won't solve any problems. After Isaac dies, there will be another saint to succeed him." Holy Judgment Angel, there is no moment when it is completely over."
At this time, Andor seemed to have thought of something, and reminded Rhodes: "Most of the power of the holy angels is given by the stigmata. As long as they can completely break the field of destiny, then they are considered holy angels." , and there is no way to continue to enjoy those powers.”
Rhodes nodded and agreed with Andor's words very much: "You are right. If you want to resolve the threat of the Holy Order once and for all, the only way is to eliminate the source of all destiny in the world, but that is by no means easy."
As Rhodes said, it is almost impossible to break the shroud of the field of fate. As the core domain of the stigmata, there is only one way to break the domain of destiny, and that is to completely kill the stigmata under the strict protection of the archangels and the obstacles laid down by fate. , so that there is no destiny field in the world.
The difficulty of doing so is extraordinary. As far as Rhodes knows, in ancient Erathia, only the legendary god-bearers did this. The rest of the people who dared to challenge fate all ended in destruction without exception.
Andor also seemed to feel Rhodes' plight. At this moment, he spread out his six soft wings, hugged Rhodes gently, and comforted him softly: "My lord Rhodes, you don't have to worry about fate. Heroes can surpass fate." , not bound by worldly affairs, I believe you will be able to find a way to resist fate."
In the gentle comforting voice of the angel, all the troubles in Rhodes' mind seemed to disappear at this moment, leaving only a faint warmth, but the heavy pressure from fate still lingered in Rhodes' heart for a long time .
"Actually, there is another method that can also be used to deal with the field of destiny, but that method is extremely harsh and almost impossible to achieve."
Just as Rhodes was thinking, the words of the Angel of Andorra brought him back to reality.
Hearing this, Rhode couldn't help asking: "Is there another method like this? Why don't you tell me about it, I want to know what kind of harsh method it is."
Under Rhodes' questioning, Andor said without reservation: "A large part of the power of the field of destiny does not come from the stigmata, but from the non-heroic creatures manipulated by fate in the world, no matter what the stigmata wants Anything can only be achieved with the help of ordinary creatures, not heroes. In other words, as long as everyone can become a hero, the field of destiny will lose all its effectiveness, even if the stigmata have the ability to reach the sky, Can't show it either."
"What?" Rhode couldn't help scratching his head while listening to Andor's story, "Everyone becomes a hero? That's simply impossible. A hero is one in a million, not everyone. They all have the will to become a hero. And this kind of statement sounds so similar..."
Just halfway through the words, Rhodes' smile froze suddenly, as if something had come to mind.
It sounds absurd to make everyone a hero, but some people firmly believe in it, and even give up everything for it, even eradicating all the walking corpses that are not heroes, that person is the first The protagonist of the three expansions, the original hero Lucifer.
Lucifer, holding the Doomsday Blade, vowed to eradicate all the walking corpses in the world. When there are only heroes left in the whole world, the field of fate will not be able to exert any effect, and the whole world will no longer be bound by fate, but will be controlled by heroes. .
In a sense, Rhodes' purpose coincides with Lucifer's at this moment. As long as he follows the wishes of the protagonist of the third expansion pack and completely eradicates the walking corpses in the world, Rhodes will have the ability to fight against the stigmata. The method of the latter, but Rhodes will never accept such a result. Those so-called walking corpses also included some people who were very important to Rhodes. Rhodes would rather use a more difficult method to fight fate than choose this way.
Fortunately for Rhodes, in the contest with fate, he is not alone. Another strongest force in the world, the Time Domain that can reverse time, is now on his side. The existence of the Time Domain It will become Rhodes' biggest way to fight against fate. When the wheel of time turns toward the past, the hero who breaks fate has the ability to completely change what is about to happen.
Time and destiny are the two supreme domains that are unique in this world. When the owners of these two domains conflict, it will bring extremely terrible results to the world. A glimpse of a corner in the illusion made Rhodes vaguely aware of the final fate of the original owner of the time domain, the holy female dragon named Eve. The first dispute between time and fate ended with a complete victory of fate.
The current situation is quite different. With the identity of a hero, Molly is not bound by fate at all. The time domain of power is completely liberated, which is enough to change anything that happened in the past, and there is no longer any predestined restriction. The time domain is the strongest power that Rhodes has, and it is also Rhodes' real trump card against fate.
After knowing all this, just as Rhodes was about to leave, Andor stopped him and refused to let him run away.
"My lord Rhodes, you haven't tasted the bread I dedicated to you. Could it be that my behavior dissatisfied you?" the Angel of Andorra said aggrievedly.
The corners of Rhode's mouth twitched. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it. Andor, who looked wronged in front of him, was the brilliant and terrifying one in the illusion, who came with a supreme destiny. The holy angel who wants to completely wipe out him and Molier no matter what.
However, under Andor's repeated requests, Rhodes had no choice but to pick up the bread she had baked and eat it. Rhodes couldn't help nodding as the well-baked puff pastry entered his mouth. The golden fluffy pastry melted in his mouth, and only a faint sweet aftertaste lingered in his mouth.
Rhodes finished the bread in a few mouthfuls, and he couldn't help but sigh that Andorra's bread baking skills are no less than that of ordinary bread masters. Without decades of bread baking experience, he would never be able to make such bread, and he didn't know the name What did the angel go through to be so good at baking bread.
"My lord Rhodes, eat slowly, don't choke, I'll make you a bowl of fish soup."
Seeing that Rhodes ate up the bread in a few mouthfuls, the girl-like angel also showed a loving and peaceful smile, and then prepared the next piece of food for Rhodes.
"I don't think it's necessary..."
Rhodes hurriedly said that he didn't come to the back kitchen to taste the food, he said goodbye to Andor immediately, and then left under the angel's reluctant eyes.
