Chapter 706: The Price II
Knowing that Stephen had the means to transform the undead, Rhodes was not surprised by this.
During the lich's long lifespan, they were able to improve their strength in various ways, and the matter of undead transformation was just a small trick for this lich.
This kind of method that even ordinary necromancers can master, is naturally not difficult for Stephen, relying on this special method of undead transformation, Stephen can even improve the strength of the transformed object.
It's just that for any necromancer who understands this process, he may not be willing to take the initiative to accept the undead transformation.
When a necromancer who has undergone undead transformation dies, he will be forcibly transformed into an undead creature under the effect of this transformation, and will be directly controlled by another necromancer.
For any necromancer, this outcome is something they are not willing to accept. If there are other options, even a necromancer who is accustomed to manipulating undead creatures on a daily basis is not willing to be manipulated by others as undead creatures after his own death.
Rhodes also seemed to realize something as to why Tello accepted this undead transformation that all necromancers didn't want to go through.
Rhodes knew that obtaining the secret magic from this lich would cost a great deal more than ordinary creatures could afford.
If necessary, Rhodes was even willing to give the lich the most powerful spell he had ever mastered, the casting method of the meteor shower, in exchange for this secret method.
Rhodes believed that even the lich in front of him would not master many fifth-order spells, and even if she had extremely strong strength, she would not refuse this fifth-order spell that symbolized the limit of the mage's ability to cast spells.
According to the information that Rhodes had collected in the past, as well as the information he had learned from Thero's mouth, in the entire territory of Dia, it seemed that only the lich in front of him had mastered the secret method to solve the erosion of death energy, and Rhodes could only have a chance to obtain the secret method at the cost of paying the fifth-order spell casting method.
In Rhodes' opinion, even if he wants to master this secret method, he needs to pay such a price, not to mention Tello on the side.
According to the information that Rhodes observed, Tello had obviously successfully used this secret method to restore his appearance, and in the process, Rhodes was also aware of the price that Thero had paid.
Rhodes realized that Tro, who could not come up with the most powerful fifth-order magic like himself, paid the price of accepting the undead transformation and becoming an undead creature controlled by Stephen after death.
As for Troll's mention, the casting of the secret method needs to be carried out under the guidance of Stephen himself, Rod naturally does not believe it in his heart, in Rhodes's opinion, this point may be after Stephen understands Troll's intention, he deliberately conceals this secret method.
For Thero's choice, Rod didn't make much evaluation in his heart. After quickly thinking about the biggest price he could pay, Rod turned to Stephen on the side and asked, "What do you want?" ”
After hearing Rod's inquiry, Stephen did not answer at the first time, but raised his palm, made a simple half-arc to the side, and said:
"Do you think I need anything? Or, whether it's undead creatures or magical knowledge, how can you help me? ”
Although he sensed the extremely high-quality death energy from Rod's body, Stephen didn't care too much about it, even if it was a little threat from Rod's body, Stephen only thought it was a treasure he used to save his life, and it was impossible to hand it over easily.
In this case, in Stephen's opinion, the most precious thing that existed in Rhodes was undoubtedly the ghost dragon he controlled, but compared to the countless undead creatures he already had, whether there was a ghost dragon in front of him or not was actually not of great significance.
From Stephen's words, Rod also clearly understood what she meant, in the eyes of this lich, everything that existed in him could hardly help him.
At this time, facing the lich Stephen in front of him, just as Rhodes was about to propose that the most precious thing he could provide was a fifth-order magic, and he was willing to exchange it for this secret method, the lich's words once again reached Rhodes' ears.
"What I value more than what you can offer is your own strength. I can feel that the death energy in your body is far superior in quality to the Thero beside you. ”
"A necromancer like you is unlikely to be willing to carry out undead transformation, so I need you to help me achieve one thing in exchange for this secret method."
Without giving Rod a chance to explain, Stephen continued:
"The City of the Dead, once my domain, in the heart of Dia, has recently had some uninvited guests. Led by a high-ranking necromancer, they began to question the flaws of the Endless Night Ritual. ”
"According to the information I know, this high-level necromancer is just an outcast of Bracada, and even he himself has not completed the transformation of the Endless Long Night Ritual, and can only be regarded as a high-level mage who has mastered the Spiritualist Technique, so he began to question the Endless Long Night Ritual without shame, doesn't it feel ridiculous?"
"The mages of Bracada have never been able to change their style, and even if they come to Diya, they still can't learn to restrain themselves."
Rod noticed that as he said these words, the expression on Stephen's face changed slightly, as if he was infected by these events, or recalled something, which was extremely rare for a lich who had long been emotionally numb.
"These new necromancers have already had a great impact on the entire City of the Dead, and many necromancers have begun to believe their claims and question the authority of the Endless Night Ritual."
"If that's all there is, it's not worth paying too much attention to, time will tell these necromancers who is right."
"It's just that, according to the information from my subordinates, these new necromancers seem to be preparing for some big moves."
"The Death Knights under my command have been operating in the City of the Dead for a long time, and any necromancer understands their appearance, and it is inconvenient to do further investigation. Your presence has undoubtedly given me a suitable opportunity, so I would like to ask you to help me find out their information. ”
"According to the information from my subordinates, the leader of these necromancers, that is, the high-ranking necromancer, his name is Sandru."
Hearing this name, Rod's eyes froze.
