Chapter 759: Exploration 1
At this time, because Rhodes did not interfere with Stephen's spellcasting process, not only was a big battle avoided, but more importantly, the chance of Rhodes's fragments of the forbidden magic ball to have an effect can still be retained. .
Moreover, in Rhode's view, even if he really used the effect of the magic ball fragments to successfully defeat Stephen, the gains he could get were still extremely limited, far less than he imagined.
In this case, what Rhodes can obtain is only the treasures that exist on Stephen, and some experience points. For more important things, it is also the undead creatures that constitute most of Stephen's apparent strength. Lack of spirit, Rhodes has no way to control it.
Perhaps, what Rhodes can also get from it is the huge experience points generated after killing these undead creatures. In addition, the improvement brought by Rhodes itself is not as great as imagined. Rhodes' strength has undergone a fundamental change.
In Rhode's view, if he can save the magic ball fragments until a very critical moment, the gains he can get may far exceed his imagination, and even a real artifact. get.
Due to the previous hero One-Eyed King's use of the Forbidden Ball fragments, when Rhodes obtained it, there were still two opportunities to use this special artifact fragment. In order to deal with Northen who came to snatch the treasure, Rhodes used the effect of the magic ball fragments once as a last resort.
At this time, Rhodes will naturally plan seriously for the fragments of the forbidden magic ball that only has the last effect, so as to make his own strength fundamentally change.
Because of this, being able to retain the effect of the magic ball fragments, in Rhodes' view, this is undoubtedly the best result.
At the same time, Rhodes already realized that perhaps it was the existence of the fragments of the forbidden magic ball that caused Stephen to make such a move.
Before that, although Rhodes didn't show any abnormalities, even when he saw Stephen who was a lich, he was extremely calm, and he didn't show panic like ordinary necromancers.
Rhodes understood that perhaps it was his calmness that caught Stephen's attention. Relying on the unique effect of the magic barrier, in Rhodes' eyes, if Stephen didn't have any special hole cards, he could also defeat it.
The unusual reaction Rhodes showed, as well as the confidence in his heart, naturally attracted the attention of Lich Stephen. Rhodes believed that this was also the reason why she tested herself this time.
In Rhodes' view, Stephen started to cast spells without any warning before, and even in the process, he actively emitted different mana fluctuations,
All the actions she did were to complete the temptation to herself.
Rhodes understands that Stephen seems to have realized that there is a special item in him that can make him compete with the Lich.
However, Rhodes believes that even Stephen has no way to know the real effect of the fragments of the forbidden magic ball before he uses them. It is difficult to make precautions in advance .
Under such circumstances, the preciousness of the information is undoubtedly reflected immediately. If Stephen can use the existence of the Thieves Guild to understand some of Rhodes' past experiences and what happened in Bracada, which is extremely far away, then It is a very special war, and perhaps some unusual things can be detected from it.
However, Rhodes believes that even if he has returned to Diya at this time, information about himself will not spread in a short time. Due to his lower rank, Rhodes need not worry, the information will be spread to the ears of the Lich.
It is also this point that makes Rhodes not have to worry about the effect of the magic ball fragments being exposed. Due to the wide variety of treasures, their effects also have no rules. Rhodes believed that even if Stephen realized that there was a special treasure in his hands, there was no way to prevent it.
Under such circumstances, temptation may be inevitable. Although Stephen didn't know the specific effects of the magic ball fragments, he also hoped to get more information through this temptation.
After a long period of accumulation, the experience possessed by the Lich allowed Stephen to vaguely realize the trump card he possessed just by watching Rhodes' various reactions when facing his own temptations.
This kind of temptation made by Stephen has undoubtedly achieved full results. Even Rhodes, who is extremely experienced in spellcasting, almost mistook it for a powerful undead spell when he felt the special spell released by Stephen.
Under the circumstances at that time, if it wasn't for the hesitation in his heart that made Rhodes not directly use the fragments of the forbidden magic ball, perhaps a big battle would happen here.
Although Rhodes hadn't finished casting the magic barrier, Stephen had already noticed the series of reactions he showed when facing this spell infected by death energy.
From Rhodes' reaction, Stephen was able to obtain some extremely important information, which affected her overall opinion of Rhodes.
At this moment, looking at the Lich Stephen beside him, even Rhodes could only sigh at her actions.
Before that, Rhodes naturally didn't have any expectations for Stephen's temptation this time. For Rhodes at that time, because he had just reached an agreement with Stephen, although he had always been vigilant in his heart, compared to the initial state, Rhodes' vigilance in his heart was still lowered.
For Rhodes in this state, he would naturally react subconsciously to Stephen's spells.
And Rhodes' own situation fully confirmed this point. As early as before this spell was formed, Rhodes held the fragments of the forbidden magic ball in his hand and could cast it at any time.
Stephen chose to make a probe at this time. While it was beyond Rhodes' expectations, he could naturally get more extremely useful information.
Through Rhode's reaction, Stephen at this time has completely determined that there is indeed something special in Rhodes that gives him the courage to fight against 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 has greater confidence in the agreement he had originally reached with Rhodes.
