Chapter 1040: Return
Walking out of the space-time gate, Rhodes returned to the city of Saw.
According to his discussions with Stephen after returning to the Dead Wasteland, Rhodes needed to occupy important areas of Vierning in the shortest possible time.
Once this was done, Rhodes would need to give Stephen and another Lich the starting point of their actions in Vilnine, which connects the important towns of Erathia, namely Harmondale and the surrounding area, in exchange for control of all of Vernine.
Once this was achieved, Stephen and the other Lich would not interfere in any of Werning's affairs, and let Rhodes rule the area, but how long they would stay in power would depend on how the battle went, and no one could say for sure.
After occupying this area, Rhodes was also able to fulfill his previous promise to those lichs, and with the help of geographical advantages, he directly launched an attack on the territory of Eli, and with the offensive in Diya, he was able to stretch the battle line and contain many creatures in the territory of Eli.
Although he understood that it was without further ado, Rhodes did not rush to lead his undead creatures and attack directly, but took out a magic book from the spatial ring.
The rebuilding city of Ao was surrounded by the sound of noise, which was a rare sight in the ordinary city of the dead, and the ghost dragon rising into the sky did not panic the surrounding creatures, but made them feel at ease, they knew that this was a sign of the arrival of the lord.
After the previous battle, Rod's deeds have long been spread, and even the necromancers who came to the city later have heard about this battle, and the true identity of the lord of this place has gradually been known by the rest of the necromancers.
Unaffected by these things, Rhodes began to flip through the magic book in his hand.
The former owner of this magic book was the lich Nagas, who was transformed by Rhodes with the effect of an artifact, and under Rhodes' orders, Nags could only sacrifice it.
The most precious spell recorded in the magic book is naturally the fifth-order thunder bomb, and the important reason why Rhodes asked him for the magic book is because of the existence of this spell.
Under the influence of the Grandmaster-level wisdom technique, Rhodes did not need to carefully study all the information about this spell like other mages, and after repeated attempts on his own, he could master it in an instant after reading everything about this spell recorded in the magic book.
The second half of the spellbook is full of content about thunder bombs, and it also adds Naggs's own understandings, messy handwriting, and conflicting parts of the content before and after, which makes it extremely difficult for Rhodes to read.
The contents of the Spellbook are full of discussions about the anomalies of the Lich's regular spells, and Nags himself understands that the Lich's ability to cast spells can never be compared to the orthodox legendary mage, and this is the negative effect of the Endless Night Ritual.
Any spell cast by the Lich will be corrupted by its own death energy. As a result, the power has decreased, however, Nags is not satisfied with this, and tries to use death energy to change the nature of the spell.
Among the earth-based magic that is closest to death energy, Nags has found a way to change, and the thunder bomb he unleashes is purely composed of death energy, and no longer involves any earth-based magic elements.
This is also the reason why Rhodes felt the thunder bomb cast by Nags in the previous battle, which is so powerful that it is almost comparable to that of a legendary mage casting this spell.
It's a pity that the grandmaster-level wisdom technique can only allow Rhodes to master the basic Thunder Bomb, and for the Thunder Bomb after the Lich has advanced and improved, although Rod knows the reason for its formation, he can't cast it at all, and he can't master this special spell knowledge through Naggs's handwriting.
In addition to the extremely special spell of the Thunder Bomb, there are also some spells that Rhodes has not mastered in the spell book, such as Desperate and Rejoicing, which are extremely practical, but Rhodes has not had the opportunity to learn the spells before, and Rhodes has mastered them at this time.
Just as Rhodes was flipping through the magic book, a burst of warmth began to come from the blood perception, and at the same time, a feeling of being watched rose in Rhodes's heart.
Rod looked up and saw Rowling's figure appear not far from here.
The changes brought about by the gate of time and space, especially the violent fluctuations of space magic, naturally could not hide from the keenly perceived Rowling, coupled with the information from the bloodline perception, Rowling found Roder for the first time.
Rhodes noticed that behind Rowling, there seemed to be a woman behind him, who seemed to be Leah beside him when he cast the Time and Space Gate and took North to the Death Wasteland.
At this time, Leah followed Rowling here, looking at Rhodes with some doubt in her eyes, and at the same time looking around, as if looking for something.
Ignoring Leah, who had no rank, Rhodes turned his gaze to Rowling.
After coming to Rod's side, Rowling looked at her with a faint surprise and asked, "Is everything going well?" Solved so quickly? I thought it would take you a long time to come back. ”
The conversation with the lich, especially the situation in the battle, Rhodes did not dare to relax for a moment, and even when he got the magic book, he could not read it in the first place, and he had to wait until he returned to the territory before he had a chance to check it.
It may have been a quiet day for Rowling in the rebuilding of Saw, but for Rod, he was much more than that.
"It's not over yet. This is a magic book belonging to the Lich, and it contains many special spells. ”
As he spoke, Rhodes handed over the original flipping through the magic book and handed it to Rowling.
Rowling didn't take a second look at the magic book handed over by Rod, her eyes were always looking at Rod, and there was a hint of inexplicability in her eyes.
Noticing the change in Rowling's expression, Rod went on to add:
"All preparations are in place, and I will purge the other forces in Verning, leaving only the necromancer presence, and in the process, I may need your help."
Rod's words did not satisfy Rowling.
"Just maybe?"
Rowling's whisper of inquiry came from his ear, and Rhodes muttered, "No, I must need your help, because the Titan Corpse Witch King is still in your hands." ”
Noticing Rowling's eyes glaring at him, Rhodes coughed dryly and said, "Okay, let's not talk about gossip, you pack up and prepare to go to the first target of this trip, Hammondal." ”
