After coming to this world, because of the information from his previous life, Rhodes will also consider the entire process of the expansion in many times, so as to maximize the benefits for himself.

And this is also the experience that Rhodes gained in the game in his previous life, as long as he follows the plot of the expansion, he can make himself have great gains.

In the game of the previous life, Rod is naturally not the only one who understands this, after the baptism of three expansions, almost all players understand such a truth.

It's just that after coming to this world, what Rhodes is thinking about is no longer this kind of competition among players, but other more important things.

In Rod's impression, the players at that time seemed extremely fanatical about the upcoming fourth expansion, even to the point of madness.

At that time, players even did anything to learn about the possible information in the fourth expansion.

Whether it's news from the Mage's Tome, information sold in the Thieves' Guild, or even gossip in the Tavern, these players will do everything they can to gather it in order to have a head start on the upcoming fourth expansion and gain a greater advantage over the others.

Not only is it limited to the surface world, but the player's collection of information about the fourth expansion has even extended to many other places, whether it is the underground world where the sorcerer lives, or the elemental plane with very special rules, players come to collect information.

It is in this context that the hydra trench in the water elemental plane, and the ultimate hydra that exists within it, comes into the player's field of vision.

Seventh-order pinnacle creatures, even in the entire game, there are not many existences, even in the first few expansions, this level of creatures appeared, there are only a few times, and each of its appearances, it has caused great damage, and even changed the situation of a war.

Even the most powerful creature recognized by the main plane, the Holy Dragon, known as the King of Dragons, would not have a rank that exceeded the peak of the seventh order, so it can be imagined that there are few creatures of this level.

In this case, the ultimate hydra, which exists in the water elemental plane, has undoubtedly attracted the attention of many players.

In the eyes of these players, the ultimate hydra, which exists in the depths of the trench and is so mysterious, will naturally not be a simple existence. Even if it is located in a position that does not exist in the main plane, but in the elemental plane, who can guarantee that it must not have anything to do with the fourth expansion.

Through the existence of the ultimate hydra, players have developed many associations, and perhaps the fourth expansion has a certain connection with the creatures in the elemental plane, and even with the existence of the entire elemental plane.

Because of this, many players who believe in this have taken the initiative to come to the water elemental plane to find out about the ultimate hydra.

However, to the surprise of other players who didn't believe this, the research of these players who came to the Hydro Plane actually found signs that could be related to the fourth expansion.

According to the analysis made by the players at the time, after studying the first three expansions for a long time, they came to a consistent conclusion from the things recorded in the expansions. Although each expansion in the game is very different in terms of plot, there is one thing in common that runs through these expansions.

Whether it's Tanan, the natural hero of the Ruined God of War, and the forbidden orb he holds, or the peerless necromancer in the shadow of death, the two necromancer artifacts he has, or the things that happened in the third expansion, all send a clear message to these players.

Each expansion takes place with a hero who is the protagonist in the expansion, and in their hands, they hold one or more artifacts.

These artifacts are either extremely special and can only be used as a support, or they are extremely powerful in their own right, and there is no rule in them.

However, it is undeniable that it is with the help of these artifacts that these already extremely powerful heroes have set off one battle after another, which has greatly changed the entire world, and finally formed the content of this series of expansions.

In the previous game, those players who came to the Hydra Trench to conduct research discovered the existence of something suspected to be an artifact from some of the signs revealed in it.

Of course, this suspicion alone naturally could not convince most players at the time, and among the players who believed that the fourth expansion was related to it at that time, there was even the existence of Rhodes.

Outside of the game, players are trying to predict the contents of the fourth expansion in advance by constantly gathering intelligence, but outside of the game, players do not abandon this.

According to the information that players knew at the time, the first three expansions in the game were all adapted from centuries ago, the most primitive, and still needed to be operated on a computer, rather than the Hero Invincible 3 who entered it consciously.

It's just that when the third expansion ends, the main plot of the original game has also ended, and players naturally don't have any clue about the plot of the fourth expansion.

Since they can't get more information from the original game, players can only focus on the direction related to "heroes" and "artifacts" based on their previous research on expansions.

In this case, players are extremely concerned about the artifact that may exist in the Hydra Trench, even if it is finally confirmed that this artifact has nothing to do with the fourth expansion, and being able to obtain the artifact is also a great increase in their own strength.

At the same time, there is another news about this artifact that is especially exciting for all players.

According to the information that a certain player got from reality, as early as centuries ago, a group of players who loved Heroes of Might and Magic 3 created many expansion materials for it, among them, there are records about this artifact that is not weaker than the Cloak of the Ghost King.

It's just that these things created by players at that time were more like a mod for the game than an informal DLC. No player can be sure for sure whether these things have been officially included in the game centuries later.

However, with the confirmation of this news by players, a large number of players who are afraid of their backwardness have chosen to believe this, come to the water elemental plane, and begin to prepare accordingly for the arrival of the next expansion.
