Chapter 999 Leave

When the battle was over, the deadline agreed between Rhodes and Stephen was getting closer and closer. Rhodes returned to the few remaining underground quiet rooms and waited for the last time.

While waiting, Rhodes carefully studied his existing abilities and got some gains.

In the past few days, Rowling also made her own choice and began to rebuild Sao City at the original site. Although in the northwest direction, the area closer to Diya has a more dominant position in terms of terrain, but Rowling still chose this place.

With the end of a meditation, after confirming the arrival of the deadline through the system log, Rhodes walked out of the underground quiet room.

Under normal circumstances, after the knowledge attribute is increased, one must go through the process of meditation to increase the upper limit of one's own mana value, while the knowledge attribute provided by treasures and other things is not included in this list.

When Rhodes held Titan's Arrow in his hand and gained all attributes +6, the upper limit of mana was increased by 60 points, but there was no mana to provide, so he needed to meditate to fill up the mana.

Coming to the ground, Rhodes noticed that waiting for him here, in addition to Rowling who had already expected this, North and another blond woman also appeared here.

Seeing Rhodes appearing here, North's originally relaxed expression suddenly froze, ignoring Leah beside him, and came to Rhodes.

At this moment, North only felt that he was being held back by something, and when he looked back, it was Leah who was holding him back.

Holding North's hand, Leah's eyes were full of pleading: "Do you have to go to Diya?"

North moved his gaze to the side, unable to bear to see Leah's expression at this time, but the will in his heart was as firm as ever.

"Yes, Lord Rhodes is going to Diya to meet those... immortal liches. If this trip goes well, I can get the answer I want to know most from these immortal liches."

After the battle, when North handed over the potion refined during this period to Rhodes, he learned from Rhodes that when he returns to Diya soon, what he will face is almost all the witches in the entire area. demon.

When he first heard the news, North felt extremely shocked, and an inexplicable fear spread in his heart. From the almost endless transformation of Lich in the city, North also faintly saw Rhode's reliance, Immediately, North realized that this might also be his own opportunity.

After talking with Rhodes before,

North realized that in order to become a real necromancer, he first needed to figure out what a real necromancer was.

Like orthodox mages, they continue to explore and research spell knowledge, but replace conventional spell knowledge with matters related to undead spells. North is the first to rule out such undead mages. Unfortunately, this is Apart from refining potions, North was the most time-consuming act.

Unable to get the answer by his own ability, North can only seek help from other creatures.

North believes that as the top existence of the entire Diya, the lich with immortal ability naturally has a deep understanding of the necromancer. Asking these liches can not only learn the true meaning of the necromancer, but also get to become a necromancer. The way of a true necromancer.

What reassures North is that after learning about his thoughts, Rhodes did not refuse the request, but promised to help him as much as possible in the process. After all, North alone is not enough. Chance to meet those liches, let alone get the liches to answer his questions.

Rhodes' help to North was not entirely based on the previous agreement between the two. In addition to Rhodes' own emphasis on him, some characteristics of North also attracted Rhodes.

Rhodes admired North's courage to face the Lich. Even some heroes who have completed the cohesion of will have difficulty in having the courage to do this, but North insisted on doing so.

Rhodes paid attention to the will in North's heart. From North's body, Rhodes saw the potential of awakening the hero's will. He was very curious about what would happen if this will continued to develop. For this reason, Rhodes Wouldn't mind offering some help, including getting Noth to meet the real lich.

Unlike Rhodes who valued North, only Leah was really worried about North's safety during this trip.

Just from what North said, Leah could feel the extreme danger, and she couldn't imagine what the real situation would be like. What he had to face was the most top existence in the whole Diya, and no one knew those What would a moody lich do to an ordinary necromancer.

"Although I don't know much about necromancer matters, I can also see that Lord Rhodes, who can stand shoulder to shoulder with many liches, is also capable of answering your confusion. Why do you have to meet those witches?" Where's the demon?"

Hearing Liya's words, North was taken aback for a moment, as if hesitating, then shook his head one after another: "Only a real lich can give me the answer."

From North's firm words, Leah seemed to realize something. She knew that no matter how much she persuaded North, she couldn't change his already decided thoughts. She could only sigh, her eyes dimmed, and her heart was full of disappointment.

After breaking away from Leah's hand, North no longer hesitated, and walked to Rhodes not far away.

Seeing North's behavior in his eyes, Rhodes was not surprised. His will made this decision for him.

Noticing Leah who was originally beside North, Rhodes recalled that according to Aron, she seemed to be the original tax collector of Sao City, but she did not have a rank and was not worthy of attention.

According to Rhodes' original prediction, if the previous battle hadn't happened, after he returned from Tatalia, he would be able to complete Aron's request and carry out the transformation of Death Knight Vita.

Prior to this, Rhodes had already made certain preparations for the transformation of this special death knight, and placed a lot of materials required for the ceremony in the deepest part of the underground silent room.

However, the awakening process of the Titan Lich King completely destroyed this area. Although the destroyed area could be restored by relying on earth thaumaturgy, it was difficult to recover the crushed materials.

Because of this, for the transformation of the death knight Vita, it will take a while before it can be restarted.

Regarding the need to postpone the transformation of Vita, Rhodes did not hide it from Aaron, and after informing Aaron of the situation, Aaron did not show any abnormalities.

At this time, Rhodes turned his gaze to Rowling who was on the side, and Rowling also kept looking at Rhodes.

From the sense of blood relationship, Rhodes can feel that Rowling is worried about him, but maybe it is out of trust in strength, or maybe it is because of the fear that this kind of worry will affect Rhodes' judgment. Rowling does not He didn't express this, but just watched Rhodes go away.

After recovering for this period of time, Rowling's complexion became rosy, she was no longer pale and bloodless, and the look in her eyes became more lively.

When he rushed back to deal with the legendary mage, Rhodes had already discovered this. Under the effect of the energy-absorbing secret method, the traces left on Rowling's body due to the erosion of death energy seemed to have completely disappeared, and she also recovered. lost its original appearance.

While lamenting the magic of this ability researched by the Lich, Rhodes also conducted a series of tests on the unique skill he has mastered, the energy-absorbing secret method.

When he first got this ability, Rhodes vaguely felt the uniqueness of this ability, but he didn't make a specific attempt. The few days of waiting in the quiet room undoubtedly gave Rhodes such an opportunity.

According to the hint given in the system log, the secret method of energy absorption can be used to quickly replenish the existing life value. Since it involves the existence of the original vitality, when it is used on living creatures, the effect of the secret method of energy absorption can even be comparable to the blood intake of the vampire king. Compare.

In addition to supplementing the health value, the greatest effect of the energy absorption secret method is to repair the damaged maximum health value.

According to Rhodes' understanding, when a player's body is severely injured and suffers from symptoms such as disability, its maximum HP will be permanently reduced. Even if the legendary mage uses healing magic to repair the body, the lost maximum HP cannot be restored.

Some hidden wounds on the body will also cause a permanent decrease in the maximum health, and only with the help of the highest quality spirit spring can it be recovered.

But the energy-absorbing secret method can directly do this, and restore the maximum damage to the HP, but it cannot exceed the original limit.

In Rhodes' view, the only flaw of the energy-absorbing secret method is that the effect of this skill can only be used for numerical recovery, and cannot have any effect on existing wounds on the body, even if it is only a minor injury, it cannot Heal wounds like healing magic.

For necromancers like Rowling whose bodies have been corroded by death energy due to the increase in the level of spiritualism, the appearance of the energy-absorbing secret method undoubtedly solved the problems that plagued them.

After replenishing the original vitality through the secret method of energy absorption, Rowling also cultivated for a period of time, and only then did she restore herself to her best condition.

What makes Rhodes concerned is that the energy-absorbing secret method can not only act on living creatures, but even undead creatures can become the target of the energy-absorbing secret method.

After many attempts of his own, Rhodes discovered that the secret method of absorbing energy directly acts on the soul fire of undead creatures. Once the intake of its original vitality is completed, it will cause great damage to undead creatures, and can instantly kill any rank Not as good as the caster's undead creature.

However, in the process of casting the secret method of energy absorption, there will be strong resistance from the undead creatures themselves, which will easily destroy the progress of the secret method, unless other means have been used before that to restrain the undead creatures in place, or It is very difficult to achieve any effect if you use it on the undead creatures you control, and rashly use it on ordinary undead creatures.

In addition to undead creatures, ordinary creatures whose vitality is extracted by the secret method of absorbing energy will not be much better. If they survive by luck, they will also turn into the biological form that Rhodes saw in Valen City.

What concerned Rhodes was that although he had obtained this special secret technique from Stephen, he couldn't find any way to increase the level of the secret technique from the system.

Rhodes realized that the energy-absorbing secret method he had obtained might only be the most basic part of this secret method. Although it could be used to solve Rowling's problems, its more powerful effects could not be truly displayed.

Rhodes believed that Stephen, who had existed in the Tomb of Death for countless years, would inevitably make a series of improvements to the existence of the secret method of energy absorption.

For countless years, the flaws in the secret method of energy absorption may have been repaired by Stephen, even if Stephen showed the ability to capture the soul fire of undead creatures at will, Rhodes didn't think there was anything strange about it.

What really concerned Rhodes was whether the ability of the energy-absorbing secret technique could work on the Lich King transformed from the ghost king's cloak.

If the artifact in his hand is only the ghost king's cloak, Rhodes may feel a little worried about the result of this trip. The last time Stephen didn't use this ability, maybe it was because of some scruples in his heart, but it doesn't mean this time Won't.

It's just that Rhodes at this time is not too worried about this. The completion of the collection of the Titan's Arrow gave Rhodes enough confidence to defeat the legendary mage head-on. rely.

No matter how many undead creatures the Lich has under his command, or even the combination of several Liches plotting artifacts, facing the Titan's Arrow, which can cast infinite spells, will appear inferior.

Except for the magical weapon with unique functions like the magic ball, there is almost nothing that can limit the casting of Titan's Arrow.

In the process of returning to Diya this time, the only thing Rhodes had to worry about was the possibility of losing the artifact. Losing any combined artifact in his hand would be a devastating blow to Rhodes' strength.

What is different from Sandro is that even if Sandro loses a combined artifact, he can still rely on his own spellcasting ability and has few opponents in the entire Diya. However, the current Rhodes must rely on two combined artifacts in his hand to play at the same time. Because of its role, it has the strength comparable to that of the legendary mage.

At this time, seeing that North had come to his side, his expression was a little nervous, but he didn't show any fear. Rhodes realized that he was ready to go to Diya.

Seeing this, Rhodes looked at Rowling aside, didn't say too much, just a flash of farewell in his eyes, and then raised his hand to cast a spell.

A dark green portal appeared in front of Rhodes. Since the overall distance is not too far, the Gate of Time and Space that Rhodes displayed directly connects to the Tomb of Death in Diya.

The ghost dragon descended from the sky, and then entered the portal. Rhodes followed closely behind, and with a flash of his figure, he sank into the dark green twisted ripples.

Looking at the gate of time and space leading to nowhere, North pursed the corners of his mouth, his expression a little nervous.

Finally, he glanced at Leah who was not far away. North strengthened his thoughts and rushed into the gate of time and space before it closed.
