At this time, since Rhodes did not make any interference in Stephen's casting process, not only did a big battle be avoided, but more importantly, the opportunity for the magic ball fragments in Rhodes' hands to have an effect could still be obtained.
Reserved.
Moreover, in Rhodes' view, even if he really used the effect of the Forbidden Magic Ball fragments to successfully defeat Stephen, the gains he would get would still be extremely limited, far from being as rich as he imagined.
In this case, all Rhodes can obtain are the treasures that exist on Stephen's body and some experience points. As for the more important things, they are also the undead creatures that constitute most of Stephen's apparent strength. Due to the manipulation,
Due to lack of energy, Rhodes has no way to control it.
Perhaps, what Rhodes can also get from it is the considerable experience points generated after killing these undead creatures. In addition, the improvement brought by Rhodes himself is not as big as imagined, and there is no order.
Rhodes' strength has undergone fundamental changes.
In Rhode's view, if the fragments of the Forbidden Magic Ball can be kept until an extremely critical moment, the gains that can be achieved may far exceed his imagination, and even the real artifact may be used by him in the process.
Get.
Due to the previous use of the Forbidden Magic Ball fragment by the hero One-Eyed King, when Rhodes obtained it, there were still two opportunities to use this special artifact fragment. In order to deal with Northam who came to seize the treasure, Rhodes
As a last resort, the effect of the Forbidden Magic Ball fragment was used once.
At this time, Rhodes naturally had to make serious plans for the Forbidden Magic Ball fragment, which had only the last effect, so that his own strength would fundamentally change.
Because of this, being able to retain the effect of the magic ball fragments is undoubtedly the best result in Rhodes' opinion.
At the same time, Rhodes has realized that it may be the existence of the Forbidden Magic Ball fragments that caused Stephen to make such a move.
Before this, although Rhodes did not show any abnormality, even when he saw Stephen, who was a lich, he acted extremely calmly, and did not show panic like ordinary necromancers.
Rhodes understood that perhaps it was his calmness that attracted Stephen's attention. Relying on the unique effect of the forbidden magic barrier, in Rhodes' eyes, if Stephen did not have any special trump cards, he could also defeat him.
.
This unusual reaction and the confidence shown by Rhodes naturally attracted the attention of Lich Stephen. Rhodes believes that this is also the reason why she tested herself this time.
In Rhodes' view, Stephen had started to cast spells without any warning, and even actively emitted different mana fluctuations in the process. All these actions she did were to complete the attack on herself.
Test.
Rhodes understood that Stephen seemed to have realized that there was a special item in him that could allow him to compete with the Lich.
However, Rhodes believed that before he used it, even Stephen had no way to know the true effect of the Forbidden Magic Ball fragments. He could only rely on his own speculation, so it was difficult to take precautions in advance.
.
In this case, the preciousness of intelligence is undoubtedly reflected immediately. If Stephen can understand part of Rhodes' past experiences through the existence of the Thieves Guild, and what happened in Brakada, which is extremely far away, then
This is a very special war, and you may be able to detect some unusual things from it.
However, Rhodes believes that even if he has returned to Diya at this time, the information about him will not spread in a short time. Since he is of a lower rank, Rhodes does not have to worry.
, this information will be spread to the ears of the lich.
It is precisely this that allows Rhodes to not worry about the effects of the Forbidden Magic Ball fragments being exposed. Since there are many types of treasures and their effects are also irregular, Rhodes believes that even if Stephen is aware of the existence of the magic ball fragments in his hands,
There is no way to prevent this with special treasures.
Under such circumstances, it may be inevitable to be tempted. Although Stephen does not understand the specific effects of the magic ball fragments, he also hopes to get more information through this kind of temptation.
After a long period of accumulation, the experience possessed by the Lich allowed Stephen to vaguely realize the trump card he had just by looking at Rhodes' various reactions when he faced his temptation.
There is no doubt that this kind of test made by Stephen has achieved full results. Even Rhodes, who is extremely experienced in casting spells, almost mistook it for a powerful spell when he felt the special spell released by Stephen.
Necromancy.
Under the circumstances at that time, if it weren't for the hesitation in his heart that prevented Rhodes from directly using the Forbidden Magic Ball fragment, a big battle might have happened here.
Although Rhodes did not complete the casting of the forbidden magic barrier, the series of reactions he showed when facing this spell infected by death energy have long been seen by Stephen.
From Rhodes' reaction, Stephen can obtain some extremely important information, which will affect her overall view of Rhodes.
At this time, looking at the Lich Stephen standing aside, even Rhodes could only sigh at what she had done.
Before that, Rhodes naturally had no expectations for Stephen's temptation this time. For Rhodes at that time, since he had just reached an agreement with Stephen, although he was always vigilant in his heart, he still felt that
Compared with the initial state, Rhodes' vigilance is still lower.
For Rhodes in this state, he would naturally have some subconscious reactions to the spells cast by Stephen.
And Rhodes' own situation completely confirms this. Before this spell was formed, Rhodes held the fragment of the Forbidden Magic Ball in his hand and could cast it at any time.
Stephen chose to test at this time. While it exceeded Rhodes' expectations, he was also able to obtain more extremely useful information.
Through Rhode's reaction, Stephen at this time has completely determined that there is indeed something special in Rhodes, giving him the courage to compete with himself, not just a superficial disguise.
.
After learning this information, Stephen naturally had a new view on Rhodes' true origin. At the same time, Stephen also had a greater confidence in the agreement he had originally reached with Rhodes.
