Chapter 764: Mission 2
According to Rod's thoughts, these actions made by Stephen the Lich can also explain her own attitude in some ways.
Although Rod has reached an agreement with the lich Stephen, and Rod has even passed through the gate of time and space and came to the city of death, but in Rhodes's heart, he does not believe that as long as he completes what he should do, Stephen will definitely teach the secret method.
Especially according to Rod's prediction, perhaps in the near future, the last effect of the Forbidden Orb fragment will also be used by himself.
At that time, the Forbidden Orb Fragment was lost as the final hole card, and once Stephen did not approve of the agreement, and even turned his hand on Rhodes, Rod had no way to deal with it.
With just a brief contact with Stephen, Rod naturally couldn't feel the real thoughts that existed in Steven's heart, the peeping eye that had been of great help to Rhodes in the past, and the existence of Stephen's higher rank, and at the same time didn't know how long he had survived, was completely useless.
It was also in this situation that Rod deeply felt the difference in strength between himself and Stephen, in the absence of the Forbidden Ball fragments, if Stephen insisted on making a move, Rod would not be able to make a decent resistance at all.
Even if he is also a sixth-order existence, Stephen's comprehensive strength has surpassed the Bracada high-level mages that Rhodes has seen in the past, which is the advantage that the lich has generated after a long period of accumulation.
The gap in strength naturally made Rhodes unable to make a commitment to Stephen, and he could only find a way to observe it from another angle, so as to get useful information.
If Rod has a strength similar to Stephen, or even more than Stephen, naturally there is no need to worry about this, but for Rod at this time, when his strength is not satisfied, he can only choose to act cautiously.
At this time, what Rhodes cares about is also those special things that exist in Troll.
In Rod's view, the thing that Stephen gave to Tello may reflect Stephen's attitude towards himself to a large extent, and if he can understand this, he can also prevent what will happen in the future.
It's just that that special item has long been included in the spatial ring by Tello, and although Rhodes senses this, there is no way to observe it.
Rhodes knew that even if he tried to verify this with Tello, he might not get any results.
The only thing Rhodes could rely on was the voyeuristic eye he mastered. But unfortunately, through the existence of the peeping eye, from Troll's consciousness, Rhodes can only know that it is an extremely important item, and other than that, there is only Troll's awe of Stephen in his heart.
Even if he noticed the existence of this item, Rhodes was unable to obtain any more information for a while. After realizing this, Rod could only feel a sigh in his heart.
In Rhodes' opinion, neither Stephen in the Death Wasteland nor Sandru in this place is far from what he is currently capable of contending.
For these characters who have already been involved in the main line of the second expansion, even if Rod has really entered the sixth order, he must be extremely cautious when dealing with these beings, let alone now.
Before returning to Diya, Rhodes did not expect that he would be involved in such a relationship with Stephen and Sandru, two special beings, and be involved in such an incident.
In Rod's view, the task given to him by Stephen has involved the situation of the entire Deya, and whether he completes this task in the end or not, it will have a certain impact on the entire Deya.
Since these extremely powerful beings were involved, in this case, Rod naturally couldn't be too careful.
If it weren't for the Forbidden Orb Fragments, even if Rhodes had learned about the existence of the Lich Stephen when he first met Troll, he would have been extremely hesitant to enter the Death Waste.
Although the purpose of Rod's trip is to find a secret solution to the problem for Rowling, in the absence of the Forbidden Orb fragments, in Rod's opinion, this kind of behavior of completely putting the possibility of success into the hands of an unfathomable lich is not a wise choice.
But in the same way, it was the existence of the Forbidden Orb fragment that made Rhodes choose to enter the Death Wasteland, and agreed to the Lich Stephen's conditions, and finally came to the City of Death.
The special thing of the forbidden magic ball fragment gave Rod enough confidence to face these strengths far beyond his own existence, and at the same time, it was also able to allow Rod to achieve some things that he couldn't do with his own strength alone.
At this time, as if he had thought of something, Rod's originally indifferent gaze suddenly became sharp, and his eyes flashed with the light of wanting to choose someone to devour.
In Rhodes's view, since he has come here, this trip is an important opportunity for him to improve his strength.
According to Rod's idea, if he wants to maximize the effect of the Forbidden Ball Fragment and bring the greatest benefit to himself, ordinary goals obviously cannot meet this point.
And the experience points obtained through the Forbidden Ball Fragments are also insignificant to Rhodes at this time, and they cannot make his own strength change in essence.
Rod understands that the only things that can make the essence of his strength change are those artifacts that exist in the game, and this is what Rod has always desired.
As for the use of the forbidden orb fragments, after coming to the city of death, Rhodes made up his mind to use it on the peerless necromancer in the city, Sandru.
As early as when he got the Forbidden Ball Fragment, Rhodes made an estimate in his heart about how to use it to maximize its improvement.
At that time, Rod realized that only by using it in the second expansion could the peerless necromancer bring the greatest improvement to himself, but in order to solve Rowling's problems, Rod could only postpone this point.
What Rhodes didn't expect was that he was able to come to the City of the Dead from Stephen's mission, and soon after, he was able to see Sandru's existence with his own eyes.
According to Rhodes's prediction, once the situation really develops as he expected, although the use effect of the forbidden magic ball fragments has been exhausted, what he can obtain is two complete combination artifacts!
