Relying on the ability of the Ghost King's Cloak, Rhodes can do something that is difficult for other lichs to achieve, which is to transform dead lichs and control them.
With the existence of this ability, the speed at which Rhodes gains experience points will increase linearly. Rhodes even has the idea of turning more lichs into such undead creatures.
However, Rhodes knew that it was not the time to transform at this time. The two lichs, Modo and Nagus, took action against him first. Even the other lichs in Dia would not say anything more.
Rhodes has no reason to transform other lichs.
Due to the lack of control spirit, Rhodes actually controlled only some Corpse Witch Kings during this trip.
Rhodes did not control the two lichs who had completed the transformation. Rhodes directly handed over the Titan Corpse Witch King, whose legs had been repaired, to Modo for control.
The problem of controlling the spirit has always troubled Rhodes. Although North had previously refined the magic potion, which alleviated Rhode's insufficiency in controlling the spirit, in the face of a real lich, this attribute of Rhodes is still completely insufficient.
Look.
Even if these two lichs do not offer any resistance to the spiritual mark cast by Rhodes, Rhodes cannot control them.
When North decided to leave the city of Saou, Rhodes deliberately ordered Elrond to recruit some creatures who are good at refining potions, preferably those at the apprentice level or above. Even if they are not necromancers, it doesn't matter as long as their identities are innocent.
Used to refine potions.
This is what the Necromancy Academy in the city should do, but as the basic buildings in the city are not yet complete, Rhodes can only think of other ways.
Fortunately, North had already informed Rhodes about the refining method of the potion to improve the control of mental attributes. As long as the construction of Saou City is on track and the Necromancy Academy is established in the city, Rhodes will not have to worry about the potion.
.
At this time, Rhodes did not control the two transformed lichs through his spiritual imprint, but the special effect of the Ghost King's cloak ensured that the two lichs would obey Rhodes' orders.
After completing the transformation, Rhodes also tested the special abilities of the two lichs.
Rhodes discovered that Modo's heroic specialty allowed him to ignore the existence of spiritual imprints and control all the corpse witches he transformed. This is why Modo was able to take back all the corpse witches from Nagus in the battle just now.
The reason for the corpse witch’s control.
This point seems to be similar to the effect of the Ghost King's Cloak. It can also ignore the existence of spiritual imprints and directly control undead creatures that are transformed by itself. However, Modo's ability is more strict.
restrictions.
The control ability of the Ghost King's cloak can be extended to all undead creatures related to it, regardless of whether they are transformed by the holder of the artifact. After the battle begins, all the corpse witches transformed by the lich using the corpse witch king are in
Within the control scope of the artifact.
Even the transformed Lich will also be subject to this restriction, not to mention that the Ghost King's cloak also has the ability to seize spiritual imprints in a large area, and Modo's ability can only act on the corpse transformed by it.
On the witch body.
When he was in the Tomb of Death, Modo deliberately transformed the dead Phoenix into the form of the Corpse Witch. Perhaps he wanted to use this ability to have a backup plan. At that time, Rhodes vaguely discovered something strange about the Corpse Witch.
Use the spiritual mark to control it.
In addition, after completing the transformation, Rhodes also had a detailed understanding of the black mist on Nagus.
The existence of black mist is also released based on Nagus's hero specialties. In addition to blocking the line of sight, it can also prohibit all space spells in it. It is extremely powerful, especially when facing some mages.
The space spells that high-level mages are good at greatly enhance their ability to save lives, making them difficult to kill by conventional means. However, the existence of black mist can effectively restrain them. Even Rhodes was almost killed by the black mist.
Suffered heavy losses.
As for the last treasure Nagus took out, Rhodes also understood its efficacy after examining it. It was a dark crown inlaid with various gems and crystals. Perhaps due to its age, the color of the surface changed.
It has long since faded, and there are a lot of cracks in some locations.
What caught Rhode's attention was the precious things inlaid on the surface of the crown. One of them was an inconspicuous light emerald, which was a space gem that could guide the opening of the gate of time and space. The other was a small dark crystal that was of extremely high quality.
Gao's mother of dead souls.
These rare things on the surface of the crown have already exceeded Rhodes' expectations. The gems inlaid on it are not only for decoration.
Rhodes noticed that in addition to the space gems and the mother of dead souls, there were other gems of different colors inlaid on the surface of the crown, all with different effects.
As the cracks spread on the crown, several locations on the surface that should have been filled with gemstones were now left with only sunken holes, and nothing inside was visible.
The prompts from the system made Rhodes realize that this crown was not a formed treasure. Apart from the basic functions of things embedded in it, the crown itself did not have any functions and could only be regarded as a special item.<
/p>
This may also be related to the incompleteness of the crown at this time. If it can be restored, given the preciousness of these things, it may not be impossible to make it a real treasure.
As if thinking of something, Rhodes took the crown from Nagus's hand as a token of his entrustment, and transformed part of the Corpse Witch King on his behalf.
Suppressed by the material of the crown itself, even if the space gem is inlaid on its surface, Rhodes can still put it into the space ring without being affected by the characteristics of the space gem at all. This also makes Rhodes extremely concerned.
There are two main gaps on the surface of the crown, and Rhodes couldn't find a suitable thing to fill them for a while. At this time, the effect of the crown is more like a slightly larger space calibration.
From Nagus's mouth, Rhodes learned the origin of this crown. According to him, this was a crown worn by a long-dead legendary lich. It had extremely powerful effects, but in a battle
Destroyed and eventually captured by Nagus.
During these countless years, Nagus tried to collect things that could be embedded in the crown through a series of methods. However, gems and crystals with special effects that are common on the mainland have long been embedded in the crown. Until now, Nagus has
Gus also failed to restore the treasure.
Countless years of attempts have yielded no results. Nagus has no hope of recovering this treasure. He just uses it as a spatial calibration to confirm his position. If necessary, let his death knights open the door of time and space to come and respond.
