The knowledge he had learned in the past made Rhodes understand that only those high-level mages who had already mastered the special skills of earth magic could make this kind of space-time gate that was not limited by the calibration of the nearest space and could specify its own location.

Compared with the space-time gate magic scroll that is limited by spatial calibration, this type of magic scroll can be sold for a higher price, and it is more difficult to make, even if it is a high-level mage, if you don't have the experience of making magic scrolls skillfully, you will only fail in the end.

Previously, what Rhodes had seen from Tello was that the magic scroll that designated the Death Desolation as the teleportation location belonged to an extremely special category and the most difficult to make among all the space-time gate magic scrolls.

According to Rod's knowledge of spells, this type of magic scroll has already involved changes in spells. The space-time gate that this magic scroll casts is already very different from the space-time gate that was originally effected.

Even if you are a powerful mage, if you don't have the ability to change spells, no matter how you use it, you won't be able to make this type of magic scroll.

In Rod's impression, Rowling had shown a very abnormal point in the use of magic scrolls, that is, he was able to make certain changes to the spells that were about to take shape, thus affecting the final effect.

In Rod's opinion, the effect on the magic scroll that Tello took out was very similar to this, except that this change to the spell occurred before the magic scroll was made.

Based on this alone, Rhodes could feel Stephen's ability to cast spells.

In Rhodes' impression, only a true legendary mage can fully master this ability to change spells, and the rest of the mages can only cast them according to the established effect of the spell, which is naturally very different.

This ability to change spells is also the root of the Legendary Mage's strength, relying on this special ability, the Legendary Mage can arrange the effects of the spell according to the purpose to be achieved, so as to greatly save the consumption of mana.

According to the predictions of these legendary mages, when this ability reaches its peak, it will even be able to completely break free from the limitations of the spellcasting system and reach another level, but even the most powerful legendary mages in Bracada will not be able to fully do so.

Previously, what Rhodes felt from the magic scroll was such an ability to make changes to spells.

Rhodes was not too surprised that the Lich would have such an ability, and what made Rod care was that the Lich Stephen could use this special ability in the production of magic scrolls.

The long years of existence have given the Lich Stephen such abilities. Even in the games of his previous life, Rhodes had long been accustomed to seeing such a scene, but at this time, Rhodes felt this for the first time in a creature other than Rowling.

At this time, after seeing the time and space gate cast by the lich Stephen again, Rhodes also realized that in addition to Stephen's spell-casting ability, she also has a high talent for the production of magic scrolls.

At this time, Rode, even if he knew that Stephen's previous behavior was just a temptation, Rod did not plan to make any response.

As Stephen tempted Rod, Rod also got some useful information from her actions.

At this time, in front of Stephen, the gate of time and space had been completely formed, and the strong mana fluctuations that originally existed around it gradually subsided after the gate of time and space stabilized.

In the pitch-black gate of time and space, there are swirling ripples, and between the ups and downs, there seems to be a phantus constantly emerging, and at the same time emitting an unwilling wail.

This gate of time and space, which was cast by Stephen himself, was far more shocking than what Rhodes had seen from the magic scroll before.

Compared to the regular space-time gates made of magical elements, this space-time gate eroded by death energy is naturally fundamentally different.

Looking at the pitch-black portal in front of him, if it weren't for Rhodes' conviction that this was a space-time portal, he might have recognized it as something else.

The entire space-time gate brought a sense of foreboding to Rhodes, even with the legendary spiritualism, Rhodes could not feel any sense of affinity from the death energy that made up the space-time gate.

The death energy that makes up the gate of time and space, as early as in the process of forming this spell, Stephen, who was guided by the spell, marked his own brand, which is very different from the original death energy in the space.

Through his own perception, Rhodes realized that although the shape of this portal is extremely strange, as a spell of the gate of time and space, its most fundamental effect has not changed in any way, as long as you enter it, you can go to the location where a certain spatial calibration exists.

Rod knew that Stephen chose to complete the casting of the space-time gate at this time, obviously with his own thoughts, so he didn't have any words for a while, but waited for Stephen's response.

At this time, looking at Rod who existed on the side, Stephen was thinking about things, but there was a huge difference from what Rod expected.

Before that, Stephen had already noticed the slight change in Rod's expression after hearing the appearance of Sandru's name. Although Rod tried to hide his changes, he made Stephen perceive it more clearly.

It was with this in mind that Stephen realized that Rhodes might have known some information about Sandru, or had heard of such a person before.

Combined with some information about Rod's origin from the information collected by his Death Knight after entering the Death Wasteland, Stephen knew that Rod might have a certain connection with Bracada, who was extremely far away from Deya, like Sandru, and was not a local necromancer like Trow said.

It was this that made Stephen sure that Rod was the right person to carry out his mission. Except for Rhodes at this time, not many of Stephen's necromancers can meet these conditions.

In Stephen's opinion, compared to his subordinates who have been operating in the City of Death for a long time, such a necromancer with a similar background to Sandru, and his strength is not weak, and he has a certain hole card, it is naturally easier to gain Sandru's trust.
