After hundreds of years, Rodhart's deeds had gradually been forgotten by people, and the Legendary powerhouse who was like a meteor that streaked across the sky of Anril did not leave much to be remembered. Until one day, no one knew which day it was. As though he wanted to remind people of his existence, Rodhart walked out of his grave.
"The rest is what you already know. Regardless of whether Rodhart did it voluntarily or passively, he ultimately became the first Retribution Knight in Anril. All the Death Knights in Anril sensed the birth of this Retribution Knight, and even if they were thousands of miles away, they wouldn't be able to stop them from rushing to his side."
"They appointed Rodhart as their leader, and under his leadership, the Death Knights started a massacre in the Breezy Plains. No one can stop their footsteps. In front of them, even the most elite army is just a joke. Under their charge, even the most sturdy city is like a clay statue that can be destroyed with a single blow. " After all, Connoris was an ancient deity, and the lives of humans had nothing to do with him. Hence, he did not sound like he was talking about a disaster at all. Instead, he sounded excited as if he wanted to do it himself.
"Almighty Soul Trader, do you want me to remind you that the hope of your new body is still pinned on a human?" Although Lin Li did not think that he was a good person, he could not help but remind Connoris.
"Uh …" Connoris finally remembered that the demon Lin Li was also a human. Hence, he laughed dryly, and said, "Oh, so you're a human too. You're really getting old, and your memory is getting worse."
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about those useless things. What else do you know? For example, the strength of this Rodhart." Lin Li also knew that they were in different positions, and that humans would not care about the lives of ants. How could an ancient deity like Connoris shed tears for humans?
"The Breezy Plains at that time was simply too tragic. Although Rodhart had become an Undead creature, he was still the chief judge of the Brilliance Shrine, after all. He actually raised his sword against those pitiful humans without hesitation. Really …" Connoris wanted to squeeze out two drops of tears, but he remembered that he did not even have a body, so how could he have tears to squeeze out?
"When Rodhart was a Paladin, he was already in the Legendary-realm, and began to seek a way to enter the Sanctuary-realm. So, how strong did he become after becoming a Retribution Knight? Did he really enter the Sanctuary-realm? "Lin Li asked.
"Although I don't know his strength, I know that he once fought with three Legendary powerhouses without the participation of the Death Knights. He completely repelled the three Legendary powerhouses by himself. At that time, the three Legendary powerhouses publicly announced that their strength was at level-23, which was enough to prove that Rodhart had at least level-24 at that time. However, I think it is more likely that he was at level-25. "
"What, level-25 …?!" Lin Li was startled, and hurriedly glanced at the Retribution Knight on the throne. Seeing that he was still motionless, Lin Li felt slightly relieved. Lin Of Lin of the Sanctuary-realm, which Lin was shocked. Of. If he were an ordinary Legendary-realm Retribution Knight, there would have been Legendary powerhouses who would have come to deal with him long ago. However, it was really difficult to find opponents in the Sanctuary-realm in this world.
That was also a characteristic of Death Knights. As long as one reached the Legendary-realm and became a Retribution Knight, the other Death Knights in the world would quickly gather around him no matter how far away they were. Then, the Death Knights would stop the growth of their strength, and transfer the soul power they obtained from each kill to the Retribution Knight. Hence, Rodhart, who had a team of Death Knights, had the soul power of one-third of the population of the Breezy Plains. It would be strange for his strength to increase slowly. It was also because he was the first Retribution Knight in Anril that the Legendary powerhouses missed the best opportunity to defeat him. By the time they wanted to stop him, it was already too late.
"He really entered the Sanctuary-realm, but this method is really …" Even if Lin Li was not a believer of the Brilliance Shrine, he definitely could not bring himself to do that. Rodhart had actually slaughtered one-third of the population of the Breezy Plains. It was hard to imagine that he was a Paladin of the Brilliance Shrine.
"There's nothing wrong with this method. Anyway, he's a Retribution Knight, an Undead creature, and has nothing to do with humans. He's ruthless to himself and others. If he can successfully lead the Death Knights into the Endless Abyss, the throne of a certain level of the Abyss will definitely belong to him. "Connoris was rather optimistic about Rodhart.
"After saying so much, are you sure that this person in front of you is Rodhart?" Lin Li asked.
"If this Retribution Knight in front of us is really Rodhart, then the sword in his hand is probably the Eternal Frost Blade that followed him to the Breezy Plains. In other words, if the sword in his hand is the Eternal Frost Blade, then his identity can basically be confirmed. " After all, Connoris had only seen Rodhart from afar a few times, and he still could not confirm if the person in front of him was Rodhart or another Retribution Knight.
"Eternal Frost Blade?" Lin Li finally noticed the sword that the Retribution Knight was holding. He initially thought that it was just an ordinary sharp weapon, but after carefully sensing it, he realized that the energy waves on the sword were only suppressed by the aura of the Retribution Knight.
"Yes, when Rodhart was still a Paladin, the weapon he used was not the Eternal Frost Blade. The Brilliance Shrine wouldn't bury such a powerful weapon with him. No one knows where he got the Eternal Frost Blade after he became a Retribution Knight. There was a more convincing conjecture, which was that he had already planned everything after he returned from the mausoleum of the Immortal King. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked the Brilliance Shrine to bury him in the Breezy Plains. The place where he was adopted was not a good excuse. He brought the Eternal Frost Blade out from the mausoleum of the Immortal King, and hid it in the Breezy Plains so that he could use it after he was reborn as a Death Knight. "
"How can you be sure that it's the Eternal Frost Blade? Although I can feel its energy waves, there seem to be many magical weapons that can reach such a level," Lin Li asked.
"One of the main materials used in the Eternal Frost Blade is the Eternal Ice Crystal Iron and the Void Sand. During the forging process, the Frigid Black Flames from the Endless Abyss were used. However, the Eternal Frost Blade forged in this way is not an ice-attributed weapon. Or rather, the ice-attributed freezing ability is just an inconspicuous ability. The real ability of the Eternal Frost Blade is that it can temporarily create a spatial rift by freezing space, allowing the energy of the sword to pass through the spatial rift and hit the opponent's body directly. "
It's simply a tool for mages to kill! Be it the Elemental Shield, Ice Wall, or other defensive magic spells used by mages, the effect of those magic spells was not to be used close to the body, but to maintain a safe buffer distance from the body. This was because there would be a certain dent in the defensive magic shield, be it in the face of a magical attack or a physical attack. If it was used close to the body, there would be no buffer distance. Although the sword would not cut the person into two, it would definitely hurt if it cut into the flesh.
However, the Eternal Frost Blade created an instant spatial rift, allowing the energy of the sword to enter the buffer zone of the magical defense. This was no different from a sneak attack.
"I think we'd better leave this place now …" As a Smithing Guru, how could Lin Li not recognize the weapon made of the Eternal Ice Crystal Iron? It was obvious that the sword in the hands of the Retribution Knight on the throne was made of the Eternal Ice Crystal Iron. Hence, that sword should be the Eternal Frost Blade, and the Retribution Knight could also be proven to be Rodhart.
Lin Li did not want to become a classic example of people dying for money, and be used to educate the future generations. Even if he had reached the Legendary-realm and had many trump cards, the other party was a level-25 Retribution Knight, after all. He also had the Mage Killer Sword. To be honest, Lin Li had no confidence at all if they were to really fight.
"Wait, are you sure that's the Eternal Frost Blade, and he's Rodhart?" Connoris did not agree with retreating.
"Of course, I wouldn't be wrong about what that thing is made of. Unless another Retribution Knight has obtained the Eternal Frost Blade, the guy who hasn't woken up yet should be Rodhart, according to what you said. Hence, I think we'd better leave before he wakes up. " Lin Li carefully stared at the motionless Rodhart on the throne while conversing with Connoris using his mental strength.
"Hah, since it's him, why are we still running? Have you forgotten that he was purified by the Prophet Willen? He no longer has the strength he once had," Connoris said with a laugh.
"Is that so? To be honest, I'm very doubtful about the purification. Didn't you say that Rodhart is almost level-25? That's the Sanctuary-realm. Who else could purify him? I'm afraid even the Pope of the Brilliance Shrine might not be able to do it, "Lin Li said doubtfully.
Most of the time, legends were unreliable. When Lin Li first heard about the Retribution Knight, he thought that he was just someone who had entered the Legendary-realm, and it made sense that he was purified by the Prophet Willen. However, he was now a Sanctuary-realm Retribution Knight. How capable could the Prophet Willen be to purify a Sanctuary-realm Retribution Knight?
How could Connoris not guess what Lin Li was thinking? Hence, he said, "Don't underestimate Willen. He's not only a prophet of the Brilliance Shrine, but also the incarnation of the Holy Light. He has the purest Divine Power in this world, and is enough to purify all filthy and evil. Even the Pope can't compare to him."
"Ever since Geresco left, the Supreme Council has been supported by Apophis and the others. The Prophet Willen had a battle with Apophis before. After that battle, Apophis openly admitted that he was no match for him, and expressed his admiration for Willen's strength. Because of that battle, the Prophet Willen's existence made the Brilliance Shrine unparalleled, and even the Supreme Council was suppressed. "
"At that time, I'm afraid only Geresco had the strength to suppress Willen. Unfortunately, after the battle to purify Rodhart, Willen disappeared mysteriously, and never appeared in the Brilliance Shrine again. Without Willen, the glorious Brilliance Shrine was immediately attacked by various forces, and suffered a great loss in strength. In fact, it was almost suppressed by the declining Darkness Shrine. "
"No, no …" Lin Li suddenly felt that something was wrong. After thinking for a while, he said to Connoris, "The Brilliance Shrine was built after the end of the Dark Age. When Willen purified Rodhart, it was a few hundred years after the end of the Dark Age. At that time, the rule of the High Elves had long been overthrown, and Osric had been dead for a few hundred years. You should have been in the Eternal Furnace at that time, and only brought you out when you met me. How would you know about these things? "
Lin Li did not doubt the authenticity of Connoris' words. What was worth doubting was Connoris' identity. From a pitiful soul that was imprisoned to a great Soul Trader, and then to a member of the ancient deities, it did not seem very trustworthy.
"Have you forgotten what I taught you about devouring the Dragon of Destruction's clone?" Connoris said in a helpless tone. "Before I was imprisoned by Osric, I had created many clones to move around in Anril. At that time, it was my last clone, and I hoped to find someone to save me from the Eternal Furnace. Unfortunately, I did not manage to find the person who saved me in the end, and that little clone was also destroyed by someone. Damn it, I didn't even see who the enemy was … "
Lin Li already knew about the ancient demonic rune to collect a clone, and also knew that the requirements to create a clone were actually not very high. As long as he had that ancient demonic rune, he could split a part of his strength to create a clone. Lin Li could actually create his own clone now, but he was a Legendary-mage, and could not be compared to the Dragon of Destruction. Creating a clone would cause him to fall from the Legendary-realm. Not to mention a Legendary-mage, even a Sanctuary Master would not do something so boring as to create an opportunity for the enemy.
The matter of the clone was not in Lin Li's consideration now, but after hearing Connoris' introduction of Prophet Willen, Lin Li suddenly had an idea. Back in the Blackstone Mountains, didn't Sendros say that he was the Incarnation of Darkness? Of course, he knew that it was because of the debris of the stars, Gloomy Dark, in his hands. Then, what about the Holy Light in his hands? Could it also make him the Incarnation of Light?
Lin Li loved taking advantage of things like this the most. He would be taken for granted as the Incarnation of Darkness, and then have a large group of coolies to do things for him for free. Previously, when he was called the Incarnation of Darkness by Sendros, he was a little worried that if the Brilliance Shrine knew about it, he would probably be hunted down every two to three days. But now, he was the Incarnation of Darkness and the Incarnation of Light, and taking advantage of both sides was simply too much to his liking.
