Chapter 3138

"Do you know her?" Looking at Catherine on the other side of the thin flame curtain, Rhodes took out a parchment. After unfolding the parchment, what was drawn on it was a woman with a round face and narrow cheekbones. The woman wore dark eye shadow, which also made her look more noble.

Looking at the parchment that Rhodes took out, Catherine frowned slightly: "Who is she? Lord of the Dead, you might as well speak clearly. I don't have time to play riddles with you."

Seeing this, Rhodes just shook his head, and then explained: "The one drawn on the parchment is Sephiroth, a powerful figure in magic in the underground world. To be precise, it is Sephiroth Griffinhart. She is The illegitimate daughter of the old Griffin Heart King should be your half-sister in terms of seniority."

Hearing this, Catherine on the other side of the thin screen just snorted: "Listening to what you said, I remembered who she was. There are many people in this world who like to daydream and imagine that they can be connected with the royal bloodline. What you are talking about Seferos is one of them. Her deeds have always been treated as a joke by people in Erathia. Do you think her words can count?"

Seeing that Catherine always looked confident in her words, Rhodes was also vaguely aware of her reliance. The Erathians had never recognized Seferos's identity, and Seferos's words were even more unpopular among the Erathians. There is no credibility at all. If Rhodes only intended to use this as evidence, then he obviously made the wrong idea.

Seeing this, Rhodes was not impatient. With the blessing of god-level wisdom, Rhodes had already prepared countermeasures for all kinds of rebuttals that Catherine might make, and would not be defeated by a momentary confrontation in words. And impatiently, he changed his explanation and said: "Perhaps Seferos's words do not have much credibility in Erathia, but that does not mean that she has all kinds of secrets about King Erathia, especially They are those secret treasures that only the king can master and know less about than others."

Hearing this, Catherine raised her eyebrows slightly, and then heard Rhodes say: "Hero Catherine, I have the power of the eternal magic eye. In Erathia, which is not shrouded in darkness, every inch of land and all kinds of changes that occur can be said to be... Under my close surveillance. I have been observing you for some time. The simple token hanging on your waist left a very deep impression on me. You seem to always carry that token with you. With her on her body, she is inseparable at all times.”

After hearing the words from Rhodes' mouth, Catherine's expression finally changed. Even the anger that was originally used to cover up her panic could not be maintained at this moment. In the end, she just clenched her fists tightly and said: "About that token, you don't care. What do you know?"

As if he sensed the temptation in Catherine's words, Rhodes couldn't help but smile. This was undoubtedly a good sign. Catherine's inquiry at this moment could only prove that he had indeed revealed the secret of Catherine's treasure.

"I heard from Sephiroth that it was a treasure that only the King of Erathia was qualified to wear. It was the Heroic Order that King Griffin Heart established with many heroes in the kingdom during the most prosperous period of Erathia. The Heroic Order is not only It can inspire the will existing in a person's heart, thereby identifying whether he has the potential to become a hero. It can also be used to completely conceal the aura of a hero. Among the kings of Erathia in the past, there are also a few heroes who have awakened their will, but they are all heroes. Under the cover of the order, the identity of the hero is hidden, and now you carry that token with you every step of the way, just to use the power of the token to hide the identity of the hero."

After listening to Rhodes' words, Catherine's expression darkened completely, and she clenched her teeth for a moment. It was not because Rhodes' words were unbearable for her as the contemporary Griffin Heart King, but because everything was turned upside down by Rhodes. De was right. Whether it was the hero's identity or the Hero's Order covering up the hero's will, all the secrets that should have been known to no one except Catherine were revealed by Rhodes at this moment.

Seeing that Catherine was silent for a while, Rhodes just shook his head and said: "Being a hero is not an unacceptable thing. On the contrary, in other times, if the Erathians knew about the lion who led them, The King of Eagle Hearts has actually awakened the supreme will and has the blessing of heroic power. This is even more morale-boosting news. Unfortunately, such an era is gone forever. The destiny of the Stigmata comes from There is no room for heroes in this world. I think when you agreed to the Stigmata's request to expel the heroes from Erathia, you didn't expect that your identity would be seen through by others."

Facing Rhode's words, Catherine looked cold and had no intention of giving Rhode a good look: "The people of Erathia will not believe your nonsense. Even if you tell the truth, no one will believe you." , people will only believe my words, you must know that I am the Griffin Heart King, and no one dares to speak ill of their king."

Seeing this, Rhodes just shrugged. Unexpectedly, Catherine still looked confident in the face of the evidence that had been completely laid out in front of her. As the ruler of Erathia, she is also the Griffin Heart King of this generation. Of course, there is no need to worry about criticism from other people. The only ones who can restrain her are the ancient beings in Yunzhong City.

In this regard, Rhodes also changed his mind at this moment and instead made a proposal that made Catherine somewhat concerned: "Hero Catherine, I have no intention of revealing the news. If not, I would not contact you at this moment. Instead, I directly spread those rumors about heroes. Maybe it won’t be me who finds you, but the angels in the clouds. I’m very curious, when the angels find you and ask you to take out the Hero Token, what will happen? Something happened. But compared to that, I have a better proposal."

Sensing the undisguised threat in Rhodes' words, Catherine took a deep breath. As the King of Erathia, she faced either polite ministers or loyal guards. When had she ever encountered such a situation? threaten? But the situation mentioned in Rhode's words is something that Catherine has to worry about. If those rumors that are unfavorable to her reach the ears of the angels in the cloud, who knows what those angels will do?

When the doomsday comes, even the angels in the clouds cannot ignore the possible turbulence and forcibly depose Catherine from the throne and expel her from Erathia. Doing so will inevitably create unsustainable problems for the country in the doomsday. The Erathians brought an even more painful blow. But the reduction of power is inevitable, which is undoubtedly a situation that Catherine does not want to see.

Listening to what Rhodes said now, he seemed to have other ideas. Even though Catherine knew that he might not have any good intentions, she still could only follow his words and said: "What suggestions do you have? You might as well talk about it and listen to it."

Seeing that Catherine finally got to the point, Rhodes did not hesitate and directly stated his proposal: "I need information about an aristocratic mage who once served under you and later became a hero. Identity, you expelled Erathia, the name of the mage is Cuthbert. If you can give me Cuthbert's detailed information, I will no longer ask whether you are a hero. Talk about things.”

Cuthbert, the owner of the earth magic book, is also the next target that Rhodes is looking for in order to fight against the earth elemental monarch.

According to the information given by the Thieves Guild, Cuthbert should have gone to Eri with the other expelled Erathian heroes, thereby gaining protection from the Elf Kingdom. However, the information from the Eternal Demonic Eye was not the same. In this way, Rhodes did not find any information about Cuthbert's whereabouts in Eli. He only stayed in Eli for a short time and then disappeared.

After several searches to no avail, Rhodes had no choice but to focus on the source of Cuthbert, which was in Erathia. Maybe those Erathians had information about Cuthbert. Detailed information allowed Rhodes to speculate on the whereabouts of the noble mage.

In order to obtain Cuthbert's information, ordinary Erathians were naturally not considered by Rhodes, and only those high-ranking nobles could possibly know the detailed information of the noble mage.

Rather than risking interference from the Destiny Realm by arresting nobles one by one from Erathia for questioning, Rhodes also chose a more straightforward approach, which was to directly ask the Griffin Heart King of Erathia, that is, Catherine on the other side of the thin curtain.

If she switched to the ordinary method, let alone asking for information from Catherine, even if Rhodes just appeared in front of her, she would probably get a look of contempt from her. Then after her call, the angel would definitely let Rhodes If you have a great lesson, you may not gain anything at all, but the current situation is different. Catherine's heroic status also puts her in a very passive position, which gives Rhodes an opportunity.

Listening to Rhodes' inquiry, Catherine frowned for a moment, as if she couldn't believe everything in his words. She thought that Rhodes would definitely make a request that she couldn't bear, but she didn't expect that someone who had mastered such a secret would Rhodes actually just asked her for information about a mage under his command, and then he couldn't help but asked:

"Is that all? If I tell you the news about Cuthbert, you will stop talking about my status as a hero? That's all?"

Hearing this, Rhodes couldn't help but shrugged and said in a very calm tone:

"What else do you want? According to my inference, even if I spread the news widely, apart from damaging your prestige in the hearts of the Erathians, it will be difficult to achieve any real effect. Seventy-one percent of the Stigmata are There is a probability that you will retain your status as the Griffin Heart King for the time being. You will not be allowed to abdicate until the end of the Doomsday War, and you will be selected from the collateral bloodline of Griffin Hart to succeed you as the Griffin Heart King. Of course, the premise of all this is that you can still survive until the end of the Doomsday War. There is a 27% probability that you will be plotted by fate and die in a relatively reasonable way. On the throne of King Griffin Heart. Your death will become the saddest moment in the Doomsday War. All Erathians will be inspired by your death and put all their faith into the Stigmata. That’s not what I expected to see.”

Listening to the words without any emotion in Rhodes' mouth, even Catherine, the King of Erathia, couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaimed at this moment. Unexpectedly, the consequences of the hero's identity being revealed would be far more tragic than... Catherine's imagination made her breathless for a moment.

There was a convincing magic power in Rhode's words that were so calm that they couldn't be refuted. Even Catherine couldn't doubt Rhode's words after hearing them.

Looking at Rhodes on the other side of the thin curtain, Catherine also felt a little wary in her heart. Even in front of King Erathia, Rhodes looked calm, and even his words were... Even though she couldn't find anything to refute, in addition to being vigilant, Catherine also felt a little bit emotional in her heart. She learned more about the various rumors about Rhodes from the reports of other ministers under her. Thinking of the moment she saw him, even through the thin flame curtain, she could feel the unusually strong aura of Rhodes.

Even Catherine, who was supposed to be Rhodes's enemy, couldn't help praising this great enemy of Erathia at this moment. Catherine would never underestimate or belittle any enemy, even if it was a fierce and cunning one like Rhodes. When Catherine found something to be worthy of, she would not hesitate to praise her enemy.

"If I calculated correctly, there should only be a 98% probability, right? What will happen to me in the remaining 2% probability?" Unable to suppress the curiosity in her heart, Catherine Asked Rhodes proactively.

Facing Catherine's inquiry, Rhodes just smiled faintly: "Believe me, that is definitely not what you want to see. Now, tell me your answer and use Cuthbert's information in exchange for me being with you. What do you think about the seal on the matter of being a hero?"

Seeing that Rhodes attached so much importance to the noble mage's information, even to the point of extreme urgency, Queen Catherine couldn't help but take a second look at Rhodes. No matter why Rhodes wanted Cuthbert's information, just Judging from the transaction in front of her, it seems that Catherine is not at a loss.

"Then it's settled."

Now that things have happened, seeing that the secret about the Hero Order has been revealed by Rhodes, Catherine no longer denies the fact that she is a hero, and readily agrees to Rhodes' request. Anyway, based on the transaction results alone, It seems that Catherine can accept it.

Hearing this, Rhodes on the other side of the thin curtain also smiled a little.
