At this time, because Rod did not interfere in Stephen's spell casting process, not only did he avoid a big battle, but more importantly, the opportunity for the Forbidden Magic Orb fragment in Rhodes' hand to produce an effect could still be retained.

Moreover, in Rhodes's opinion, even if he really used the effect of the Forbidden Ball Fragment 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's body, as well as some experience points, and for more important things, they are also the undead creatures that constitute most of Stephen's strength on the surface, due to the lack of control spirit, Rhodes has no way to control it.

Perhaps, what Rod can also gain from it is that after killing these undead creatures, he will generate a lot of experience points, in addition, the improvement brought by Rod himself is not as big as imagined, and it has not caused Rode's strength to change in essence.

In Rhodes's opinion, if he can save the fragments of the forbidden magic ball to an extremely critical moment, the gains he can achieve may be far beyond his imagination, and even the real artifact, in the process, it is also possible to be obtained by himself.

Due to the previous use of the Forbidden Magic Orb fragment by the hero One-Eyed King, when Rhodes obtained it, this special artifact fragment still had two chances to use it. In order to deal with Northam, who came to seize the treasure, Rhodes used the effect of a forbidden orb fragment as a last resort.

At this time, for this forbidden ball fragment that only has the last effect left, Rhodes naturally has to plan carefully, so that his own strength can be substantially changed.

Because of this, being able to retain the effect of the Forbidden Orb Fragment is undoubtedly the best result in Rhodes' opinion.

At the same time, Rod had already realized that perhaps it was the existence of the Forbidden Orb fragment that caused Stephen to make such a move.

Before that, although Rhodes did not show any abnormality, even when he saw Stephen, who was a lich, he was extremely calm, and did not show panic in his expression like an ordinary necromancer.

Rod understood that perhaps it was his composure that caught Stephen's attention. Relying on the unique effect of the forbidden demon barrier, in Rod's eyes, if Stephen didn't have any special hole cards, he could also defeat him.

This unusual reaction, as well as the confidence in her heart, naturally attracted the attention of the lich Stephen, and Rod believed that this was the reason why she tested herself this time.

In Rod's opinion, Stephen had previously started to cast spells without any warning, and even in the process, she actively emitted different mana fluctuations, and all these actions she did were to complete the temptation of herself.

Rhodes understood that Stephen seemed to have realized that there was a special object in him that could put him up against the Lich.

However, Rhodes believed that even Stephen had no way to know the true effect of the Forbidden Orb fragment before he used it, and he could know it based on his own speculation alone, so it was difficult to take precautions in advance.

In this case, the preciousness of the information is undoubtedly reflected at once, if Stephen can learn some of Rhodes' past experiences through the existence of the Thieves' Guild, and the extremely special war that took place in Bracada, which is extremely far away, he may be able to detect something unusual from it.

It's just that Rhodes believes that even if he has returned to Diya at this time, the information about himself will not spread in a short time. Due to his low rank, Rhodes did not have to worry that this information would reach the ears of the lich.

It is precisely this that allows Rhodes not to worry about the effect of the forbidden magic ball fragment being exposed. Due to the wide variety of treasures and the effects they have, there is also no pattern, and Rod believes that even if Stephen realizes that there is a special treasure in his hands, there is no way to prevent this.

In such a situation, temptation may be inevitable. Although Stephen was unaware of the specific effects of the Forbidden Orb Fragments, he hoped to be able to obtain more information through this temptation.

After a long period of accumulation, the experience of the lich made Stephen vaguely aware of the hole cards he possessed just by looking at Rhodes' reactions to his own temptations.

Stephen's temptation has undoubtedly paid off. Even Rhodes, who was extremely experienced in spellcasting, almost mistook it for a powerful necromancy when he sensed the special spell released by Stephen.

Under the circumstances at that time, if it weren't for the hesitation in his heart, so that Rhodes did not directly use the Forbidden Magic Ball fragments, maybe a big battle would have happened here.

Although Rhodes did not complete the casting of the forbidden demon barrier, the series of reactions he showed when facing this spell infected by death energy had already been seen by Stephen.

From Rod's reactions, Stephen was able to gain some extremely important information that would influence her overall perception of Rod.

At this time, looking at the lich Stephen who existed on the side, even Rhodes could only sigh at her behavior.

Prior to this, Rod naturally did not have any expectations for Stephen's temptation this time. For Rod at that time, because he had just reached an agreement with Stephen, although he maintained his usual vigilance in his heart, compared with the initial state, Rode's vigilance in his heart was still lower.

For Rhodes, who was in this state, he naturally reacted subconsciously to the spells cast by Stephen.

And Rod's own situation completely confirmed this, as early as before this spell was formed, Rhodes held the Forbidden Magic Ball fragment in his hand, and could cast it at any time.

Stephen chose to test at this time, and while he was not expected by Rhodes, he was naturally able to get more extremely useful information.

Through Rod's reaction, Stephen at this time has been completely determined that there is indeed something special in Rod, which gives him the courage to fight against himself, not just a disguise on the surface.

After learning this information, Stephen naturally had a new view of Rod's true origin. At the same time, Stephen is also more confident about the agreement he originally reached with Rod.
