Rhodes nodded upon hearing this, chatted with the princess for a few more minutes, and then returned to his residence, a newly built stone house.
Night had fallen, and after having dinner, Rhodes was about to rest when someone knocked on his door.
The newcomer, the female mage Jaina, had indeed caught what the princess had said, but she was still somewhat unwilling to accept it.
I should have been the one who first had some ambiguous relationship with Rhodes, but before the Battle of Mount Hyjal, Rhodes was flirting with a female elf.
This made her feel very uncomfortable, and now Princess Galiya's words made her feel even worse.
"Gina, it's so late, what brings you here?" Rhodes opened the door and welcomed the female mage in, asking.
“I… I have something I want to ask you, Rhodes. What do you think of our relationship? I want an answer from you,” Jaina asked, taking a deep breath.
If Rhodes says he intends to marry Princess Calia, then the two can only be friends from now on, since she is a princess of Kul Tiras.
"We are good friends!"
"Just friends?" the female mage asked, clearly somewhat unwilling.
“Well, if you want something to go beyond friendship, then I’m not against it.” Rhodes looked at Jaina with a playful expression.
Then, to the female mage's astonishment, he swept her up in his arms and kissed her lips. "Since you've come to me willingly, I won't be polite."
As for the curse of killing off one's husband, only weak beings would fear such a curse; a certain blue dragon in the future will be fine with it.
(1 words omitted) After the passion subsided, Rhodes breathed a long sigh of relief, finally experiencing the true female protagonist of the early Azeroth.
“I knew it, you bastard. I am the princess of Kul Tiras, and Her Highness is the future queen of Lordaeron.”
"But you accepted her appointment as regent. You should know what that means, shouldn't you?" Jaina said.
“I know, but I made a boast to Arthas before, saying I wanted both your sister and your ex-girlfriend,” Rhodes said.
"What?! You, how could you say such a thing?" The female mage rolled her eyes and said.
"Of course, it's to provoke him, since it can affect his combat effectiveness," Rhodes said.
"So you're just playing around with me, right?"
“No, I mean you and Galiya can live with me,” Rhodes said.
“How is that possible? The laws of Lordaeron do not allow such a thing to happen. We humans practice monogamy,” Jaina said.
“Once I become the head of Lordaeron, I can simply amend this law, can’t I?” Rhodes said.
“My God! So you really intend to? What a bold guy.” Jaina said, sitting up while hugging the blanket.
“I want them all,” Rhodes said, clenching his fist.
That's a really powerful statement.
"Heh, you'd need to be in good health first. What do you plan to do with that female elf?" Jaina rolled her eyes and said.
“You two are sincere, but she’s just playing around,” Rhodes said.
Chapter 164: Level 7 Phoenix, four per week, learning Hero Magic.
Rhodes had to use a lot of words to appease Jaina, and for now, the two of them should just maintain this relationship.
After seeing the female mage fall asleep, Rhode began to check his Heroes of Might and Magic system.
Check the building queue in Elemental City. The basic Phoenix Nest has been built, and you can recruit 2 Firebirds per week (which can be upgraded to Phoenixes through Mountain Fortress).
Next week I will receive 4 phoenixes, provided that Rhodes has enough gold units and resource units to upgrade these phoenixes.
However, the Phoenix is the cheapest among all Tier 7 units. The Firebird can be purchased for only 1500 units of gold, while the Phoenix only requires 2000 units of gold and a little mercury.
In comparison, the Ghost Dragon, valued at 3000 units of gold and a drop of mercury, is an outrageously expensive bastard. The Phoenix is one-third cheaper, yet it is stronger than the Ghost Dragon.
The reason why the Elementals can become an extremely overpowered race and the god of all battles is because Tier 7 units are too cheap and too easy to produce.
The Phoenix's attributes are: Attack 21, Defense 18, Damage 30~40, Health 200, and Speed 21, which is the highest among all unit types.
It also has special abilities. First, it is immune to fire magic. The phoenix is completely immune to all fire magic damage. This move can be used in conjunction with Doomsday Judgment.
With the Phoenix Fire element and the magic element, playing a post-apocalyptic game is incredibly fun.
Secondly, it possesses a dragon-like breath attack that can strike multiple enemies without diminishing its destructive power.
Another unique feature is its resurrection ability, because it materializes in the world of Azeroth, making Rhodes' phoenix very special.
If you are killed by the enemy on the battlefield, you will not be resurrected if you only have one. You will only be resurrected if you have five enemies.
This special ability is somewhat inferior to the native Phoenix of Azeroth, the one summoned by Kael'thas. When the opponent's Phoenix dies, it turns into an egg and then regenerates.
The Phoenix's base stats are naturally inferior to other level 7 units, but compared to the Ghost Dragon, it still holds a significant advantage.
After all, one is the weakest of the level 7 units, and the other is the strongest level 6 unit. No, he's not even the strongest level 6 unit, because he can't beat his own Black Knights.
Ghost Dragon was such a failure, it was utter garbage!
Phoenix reiterated that the resurrection probability was only 20%, which was really disgusting. Rhodes planned to go to the Eastern Kingdoms this time to learn a lot from Kael'thas.
Please ask this blood elf prince for help so that my phoenix can be 100% reborn, even if it has to be reborn as an egg.
Upgrading four Firebirds to Phoenixes only requires 2000 units of gold and 4 points of mercury. Of course, there's also the 6000 units of gold needed to recruit them.
His forces consisted of 4 Titans and 2 Archangels of Light, a terrifying force capable of altering the course of a small battle.
Moreover, I get four phoenixes every week, which is absolutely terrifying.
Early the next morning, Rhodes brought the female mage and the female elf to the training ground. The meeting between the two women was a little awkward this time.
Previously, Jaina only suspected the special relationship between Caponia and Rhodes, but last night she had a special relationship with Rhodes and learned about their affair.
Damn it, why did that bastard Rhodes call them over so early in the morning? It's so awkward for the two of them to meet now, isn't it?
"It seems Miss Gina had a good night last night. Don't worry! Your boyfriend and I were just having some fun. If you'd like, the three of us can play together sometime," the female elf said with a smile.
"..............." The sight of the three of them together completely shattered the female mage's worldview, causing Jaina's face to turn slightly red.
This elicited a chuckle from the female elf; seeing the cute and young human make such an expression was truly amusing.
“If you don’t object, then yes, I wholeheartedly agree.” Rhodes immediately gave the female elf a thumbs up.
Any man would agree to something like this! Anyone who refuses is a bastard.
“Shut up, I refuse,” Jaina said, shaking her head.
Last night she half-heartedly gave in to Rhodes, but that doesn't mean she can accept this kind of behavior. Damn it, I must make sure Rhodes has less contact with these high elves in the future.
No, it should be blood elves. These guys are the source of all corruption. Rhodes used to be very innocent, but he was corrupted by this female elf.
“Alright, whatever you want. But Rhodes, why did you call me over so early? You can’t possibly let the three of us get to know each other, can you?” Caponia asked.
“Of course not. We’re heading to the Eastern Kingdom soon, so I plan to take advantage of these few days to teach you some practical magic, the kind of hero magic I use.” Rhodes smiled and then summoned his mage hero, Somra.
This time, Rhodes intends to take this opportunity to teach the life heroes of Azeroth some magic using his academic skills.
"?? Rhodes, do you mean you're going to teach us Titan magic?" The female elf Caponia's eyes lit up as she asked.
While playing happily with Rhodes, the female elf once asked Rhodes about the principles behind the use of those heroes' magic, but Rhodes said that he didn't know the principles either, he just suddenly learned them.
“Rhodes’ magic was taught to you by the Titans. Can you teach it to us too? Would that be inappropriate?” Jaina asked.
"This is the will of the Titan Guardians, and it wasn't me who taught it, but him." Rhodes smiled and pointed to the blue mythical hero Somra beside him.
This is the one who teaches magic; all I can do is give magic scrolls so that the lives of Azeroth can cast heroic spells.
“This is the bodyguard the Titan Guardians sent you, so is this what the Guardians want? That’s fantastic, Rhodes. I really want to learn how to summon fire elementals,” Caponia said.
“Ahem, this magic is the most profound kind of magic. Currently, I can only use it with that magic scroll, so I can’t teach it. All I can teach you now are some simple spells,” Rhodes said.
"Okay, I'm quite disappointed. So, are there any fire-attribute spells?"
“I’m sorry, I don’t know any fire magic yet. I can teach you when I learn it. Right now, I’m going to teach you an offensive spell, the Magic Arrow that I’ve used many times before. You should remember it,” Rhodes said.
"I naturally remember that. The pure magical energy wave that was emitted, although not as destructive as lightning, was still incredibly powerful."
"This magic is good too. You're going to teach the two of us this magic, right?" Caponia asked.
Although it's a relatively weak spell for Rhodes, if he could learn it, it would be his most powerful destructive spell. This move could kill a demon in one hit, something even his most powerful spells, Flame Storm and Fireball, couldn't achieve.
Jaina nodded. She had seen Roze use this move when she first met him; he had killed an Abomination with a single blow.
Moreover, Rhodes said that the magic arrow increases in power with the user's mana. Now, when Rhodes uses this spell, it is at least five or six times more powerful than when they first met.
“That’s right. Besides this magic, if you can learn it, I can also teach you some other low-level magic. Now let me see your talents!” Rhodes said, nodding to Somra.
The latter immediately understood, first approaching the female elf, and then using his special academic skills to begin teaching magic to Caponia.
Somra's arcane energy rippled slightly as he extended a blue hand made of pure energy and gently touched the female elf's forehead.
Caponia closed her eyes, concentrated, and tried to understand and accept this foreign magical knowledge from a completely different system.
The academic skill played a crucial role, directly and simply imprinting the complete spellcasting model and energy circulation rules of "Magic Arrow" into her spiritual essence in a very simple and crude way.
The female elf's body trembled violently, her face instantly turning pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She clenched her teeth, her body trembling slightly. She could "see" the complex and exquisite spell model, each rune containing powerful energy.
"Aaaaah! Damn it, I feel like my head is going to explode!" The female elf suddenly screamed, feeling as if her brain was about to burst.
A few minutes later, Somra withdrew his hand and nodded to Rhodes. He had forcibly memorized the Magic Arrow into the other's mind through his skill.
At this moment, the female elf was kneeling on the ground, swaying unsteadily, and then fell into Rhodes' arms. Rhodes immediately stepped forward and picked up the female elf.
“Caponia, how are you feeling?” Rhodes asked.
"Oh my god, I feel like my body is about to split open, especially my head. Titan magic has been forcibly imprinted into my mind, and I can now cast this spell."
"I can probably use it more than ten times a day. As for learning other spells, let me wait a couple of days! I feel like I might not be able to learn any other Titan magic recently," Caponia said with some lingering fear.
"This is terrifying. Did you have to go through this kind of pain when you were learning magic, Rhodes?" The female mage standing to the side asked somewhat guiltily.
Rhodes had given her a Thunderous Ice magic scroll, and she even thought that maybe she shouldn't learn this magical arrow.
"It's just a little painful, bear with it and it'll be over soon, Gina." Rhodes smiled mischievously and nodded to Somra beside him.
The latter immediately understood and flew forward, placing his palm on Jaina's head. Then, a soprano scream rang out again from the woods.
Chapter 165: Producing 200 Phoenixes Annually, Envisioning a Thousand Phoenixes Singing Together
"Aaaaah! Damn Rhodes, my head is going to explode! Why does it hurt so much?" Jaina rolled on the ground, clutching her head.
Jaina felt like her head was about to explode. An extremely complex magic circle was imprinted in her mind, granting her the Magic Arrow.
