Rhodes knew that sometimes, if a situation is discovered personally, it will have better results than someone else trying their best to explain it clearly.
Therefore, after realizing what was happening here, Rhodes brought Rowling here specifically and spared the hero's life precisely because of this.
At Rhodes's signal, Rowling slowly approached the hero on the ground. After further confirming the hero's appearance, the expression on Rowling's face changed again.
Since there were many questions in her mind, Rowling stopped waiting and asked directly to the hero on the ground: "You... why are you here? Were you captured by Sepp?"
Hearing Luo Lin's question, the hero on the ground did not react at all. He just lowered his head with no sparkle in his eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking. His already extremely thin body looked even weaker at this moment.
Seeing this, Rhodes swung his sword, but he did not directly kill the hero, but slowly left a not too deep wound on his body.
The pain stimulated the hero on the ground, but at this time, he had lost all ability to resist.
As if noticing Rhode's eyes, the hero finally realized why Rhodes spared his life.
Recalling his own experience, the hero finally figured it out. Although he still lowered his head, he did not remain silent. Instead, he answered to Rowling:
"You should have guessed it... The undead creatures here are actually my subordinates. I was originally the city lord of Wallen City, but because I was deceived by Sepp, he took away my life energy and ended up like this. But after I awakened as a hero, my ability as a necromancer returned to my body."
"Sepp doesn't care about everything in the city. He doesn't even control any undead creatures. What Sepp cares about is only the life energy accumulated in his body. After extracting the original life force from these people, Sepp Throwing them into the outer city will give me the materials to create undead creatures."
"Although these individuals in the outer city have no value in being transformed into undead creatures, if they are combined, their strength cannot be underestimated."
"I have been experimenting here for a long time before creating these undead creatures. I thought that one day I would use them to counterattack Sepp, but it's a pity..."
After explaining this, the hero seemed to have thought of something. He sighed and then asked Rowling:
"Is there anything else you want to know?"
The hero's tone was full of dead silence. Even Rowling on the side felt a bit breathtaking when listening to it. However, Rowling ignored it and continued to ask the hero:
"In that case, then why did you lie to me and why did you let your undead creatures capture you..."
"I just want to take advantage of your sympathy and let you help me achieve my own goals. This is how necromancers behave. If you were deceived because you don't have much experience, it's just because you are immature. Otherwise, why do you think What am I going to tell you?"
As he spoke, the hero smiled self-deprecatingly. A bitter smile appeared on his weird face, looking extremely ferocious.
Through the words of this hero, Rowling has clarified everything that happened before. For Rowling, the effect of hearing everything said by this hero himself is undoubtedly shocking.
Rowling couldn't believe that she had been deceived by this hero. She even asked Rhodes for help because of the lies he told, which eventually led to a battle.
Thinking of this, Rowling immediately looked at Rhodes standing aside, but she could only find that Rhodes' expression was still very calm, as if everything the hero said was as expected by Rhodes.
Rowling suddenly fell into silence. When Rowling was silent, Rhodes and the hero did not say anything, just waiting for Rowling's reply.
After a moment of silence, Rowling asked the hero again: "You have clearly achieved your goal, why did you send undead creatures to attack me in the end?"
After hearing Rowling's last question, the hero's unchanged expression finally changed. It seemed to be a little unwilling, but more of a regret.
The hero didn't answer for a while, as if he wasn't ready to answer Rowling's question, but after noticing Rhode's movements behind him, the hero finally answered:
"Because you are a born hero... If I can get you, even Sepp will not be my opponent... I can rely on you to become famous in Diya, and it will not be limited to this Wallen city... "
As he spoke, the hero seemed to enter the scene he imagined. He looked extremely crazy for a moment, but soon, thinking of his current situation, the hero's face darkened and no longer showed any expression.
Listening to this hero's explanation, another feeling finally appeared in Luo Lin's heart. Only then did Luo Lin have some general understanding of her identity as a born hero.
Rowling should have felt resentful towards the hero who had deceived her, but looking at the hero's current appearance, she couldn't feel any hatred at all.
For a moment, Luo Lin's expression seemed extremely depressed. What occurred in Rowling's mind was more reflection on this experience and thoughts on some of her own actions.
Seeing that Rowling had finished her question, Rhodes pointed his sword at the hero below and said:
"The words have been spoken. Due to your cooperation, you now have two choices. One is to fall into eternal darkness, and the other is to serve me as a death knight."
Rhodes seemed quite satisfied with this hero's answer. The hero realized that Rhodes deliberately kept his life in order to allow Rowling to grow, so he cooperated with Rowling's questions and told the whole truth.
This hero has already thought clearly that in this case, since death is inevitable, the situation after death should be his consideration. Just as Rhodes said, should he fall into eternal darkness, or should he find a way to please the new master in front of him from now on.
Rhodes knew that similar to the original centaur leader, even if it was transformed into a death knight, it was unwilling to be loyal to him. He could only rely on the spiritual imprint to suppress its original consciousness, but the necromancer was different. For necromancers, as long as they can survive, they will accept any choice.
Because of this, Rhodes needs to ask this hero to confirm his thoughts. If he is really hopeless, then his efforts will be in vain.
