With the existence of consanguinity perception, Rowling also roughly understood rod's idea, so she replied:
"The element core of vita, together with the container, is put in the city Lord's mansion. If necessary, I can take it now."
Hearing what Rowling said, rod shook his head: "not yet."
With that, rod looked at Elon: "I can use the magic ceremony to make this Genie hero return to the state of death knight, but it doesn't seem to have much to do with you. You have to understand that Vita is already my death knight."
Elon naturally understood rod's meaning, and would not use the agreement once made in silver cliff city to demand rod in this state.
Elon knows that the agreement with rod has already ended. Although Vita is successfully transformed, there is an accident at the last moment. Instead of being controlled by him, she is controlled by Rowling.
Up to now, Elon has no confidence in himself. He successfully asks rod to see vita, the genie hero. According to Elon's perception, rod's strength has far exceeded himself, and it is reasonable for him to refuse him.
Elon believes that if he takes advantage of his former friendship with rod, he may have the chance to see vita. When rod and his party are in the middle of silver cliff city, even if there is an accident in the transformation ceremony, Elon who accepted the result does not punish rod and his party, thus avoiding a conflict.
However, if we only rely on the former love, it may not be long before this kind of love will be exhausted. This situation is what Elon does not want to see. I believe rod will not allow anyone to affect his death knight. At that time, Elon may not be able to see Vita again.
For this reason, Elon said to rod, "up to now, I don't have any treasures to hold. The only ones have been lost in the magic school. The only valuable one is myself."
"I, Edmund Elon, would like to pledge my allegiance to Lord rod, the knight of the dragon," he said solemnly
"My power will turn into the sharpest weapon in your hand, carry out the will in your heart, sweep away all obstacles on your way, and not be moved by your own desire. I will give all the thoughts in my heart, crown them with my own wisdom, and exhaust everything I know without any reservation. Until the end of my life, I will be loyal to you, at your service. "
Aron's words came to his ears, and rod's expression remained unchanged.
Rod never felt that the oath would have much binding force on people, just as rod never asked himself to take the oath.
In rod's view, perhaps some real knights can always stick to their vows, or even take them as their own will, but most creatures, in the face of greater interests, will not take their vows to heart, especially those like Elon.
According to rod's information, Elon may have the potential to become a knight. Now, his pledge of allegiance is the same as that of the Erathian knight. However, his final choice is to learn magic in blakada and become the Lord of silver cliff city. At last, he learned spiritualism by himself.

Even during the reign of Lord of silver cliff city, Elon secretly collaborated with the necromancer to achieve his own goal. Although this was related to blakada's decadent environment, it also showed that Elon obviously did not pay attention to blakada who taught him his magic.
In this regard, rod did not seem to care about the general, looking at the side of Elon, raised his hand and said: "I accept your loyalty."
In view of Elon's status as a necromancer, rod did not accept Elon's loyalty just by one action, just like the traditional trivia.
The purpose of Elon's loyalty to rod is more for the death knight vita, which they both know.
Compared with the spirit mark that death knight is hard to break, the oath of ordinary creatures is undoubtedly a few grades weaker.
Rod doesn't care if Elon really abides by the oath. All he needs is Elon's loyalty to himself and his role in territorial construction.
Rod believes that with his own strength and the death knight Vita still under Rowling's control, Elon does not dare to make any unusual moves in the territory.
For Elon himself, what is happening now is also the best result he can imagine. The necromancer will not bring any benefits to other creatures for no reason. If he wants to see vita, he must do so.
On the other hand, Rowling did not see the thoughts between rod and Elon, and was still happy that rod got Elon's loyalty.
not bad
What makes rod feel a little concerned is the oath used by Elon when he took the oath. In rod's impression, although Elon's previous words are a kind of Knight's pledge of allegiance, they are obviously different from the knight's oath in previous games.
Rod recalled that the knight oath in the previous life game emphasized more on the eight virtues of being a knight: honor, humility, bravery, justice, honesty, faith, pity and sacrifice.
At that time, these eight virtues became the creed of almost all knights. Even the knights who did not know the existence of these eight virtues would be deprived of their knighthood.
Even if the knight does not recognize one of the eight virtues, he will not reveal it, let alone on such a particularly important occasion as the oath of allegiance. The knight will repeatedly mention it in this process, for fear that others will find a loophole in his own words.
This is one of the changes triggered by Griffin Hart, the current president of eracia, after he took office.
A battle, known as the "battle of virtue" among the minstrels, broke out in the territory of eracia with the new king's taking office, which had a very serious impact on the Knights of eracia.
