After checking the materials required for the ceremony, Rhodes was not in a hurry to start the ceremony, but looked at Elrond aside.
"Have you mastered the practical method of spiritual imprinting? I mean, the kind of spiritual imprint used to control golem puppets."
Before the ceremony begins, Rhodes also needs to confirm this with Elon.
During the past few days in Silver Cliff City, Rhodes did not find any golem puppets used by orthodox mages in Ailon's mansion.
Golems are creatures created through alchemy by powerful wizards. Through the spiritual imprint, the mage can use the golem puppet for various matters.
Orthodox mages will make golem puppets similar to the human body. Depending on the material, the golem puppets have different names, from the lowest level stone golems and iron golems to the more powerful gold and stone golems, diamond golems, and The ultimate titan puppet.
Among the remaining alchemy techniques, the mage found a way to make the golem puppet. For the archmage in Brakada, the golem puppet was an important helper.
Golems and puppets can replace manpower to a large extent. Whether it is building towns, digging mines, or fighting for territory, golems and puppets can exert powerful effects, but that is only for a small number of mages.
It is extremely difficult for regular mages to learn alchemy in Brakada's magic academy and learn how to make golem puppets. Even the noble lords of a place can hardly withstand the consumption of materials caused by alchemy experiments.
A mage who can create a golem puppet is not much inferior in strength. Using a golem puppet itself represents the noble status of the mage.
In this case, more weaker mages still chose to use slaves to speed up the construction of their territories.
What Rhodes saw in Silver Cliff City also showed that Silver Cliff City had a weak foundation. If it is a truly large town in Brakada, there are not many elemental creatures in it. In those towns, golem puppets have already been used on a large scale, while slave creatures rarely appear.
The feeling of Silvercliff City to Rhodes is actually more like a town in Erathia. If it were not located on the snow-capped mountains and the surrounding scenery, this town would not have much of the unique color of Brakada.
Therefore, Rhodes asked Elon this question, also wanting to confirm whether Elon had mastered the spiritual imprint that controls the golem.
If they have not mastered spiritualism, or have not learned the alchemy of making golem puppets, ordinary mages rarely learn spiritual imprints.
For the mages of Brakada, the function of the spiritual mark is to control the golem puppet. The rules of control are the same as those of undead creatures. According to the material of the golem puppet, it occupies certain spiritual attributes of the controller.
Since he did not see any golem puppets in Silver Cliff City, Rhodes was not sure whether Elon had mastered the spiritual imprint.
According to Elon's request, after Rhodes transformed the Death Knight, he could not control it, but let Elon control it.
Once something goes wrong on Elron's part and he fails to cast spiritual mark on him and misses the best control opportunity, the death knight's heroic will will be restored. At that time, Rhodes can only fight with the monster hero in this state. The battle begins.
At this time, the ghost dragon was not near Rhodes, but was fighting in Vilning with the centaur leader. Even if Rhodes wanted to transfer the ghost dragon over, it would not be able to cross such a long distance for a while.
In this situation, Rhodes would be extremely disadvantaged once he started a battle with a monster hero. The monster itself is extremely good at spells, and with the additional blessings of being a death knight and a hero, even with Rowling's help, it may be difficult to win.
Therefore, before the transformation ceremony begins, Rhodes needs to confirm this with Elon to avoid any mistakes later.
As for the situation where Elon turned against him immediately after completing the transformation ceremony, Rhodes was not afraid.
Since he controls teleportation, if Rhodes wants to escape from here, Elon has nothing to do with Rhodes. Once a head-on battle begins, the fact that Elon controls the death knight will be exposed immediately. Wait until the magic guild intervenes. , Elon will also have a headache.
It can be said that after the transformation ceremony is completed, regardless of whether Elon wants it or not, he will have a handle in Rhodes' hands. The existence of the death knight itself seriously violated the rules of the magic guild, not to mention the fact that Elron hooked up with the necromancer.
Elon also doesn't want things to get too big. Even if the transformation ceremony is successfully completed, as long as he still has some sense, he will not fight Rhodes.
What's more, through Rhodes's series of observations about Elon, it seems that Elon has never had the idea of breaking out of the contract.
The persistence and firm will shown by Elrond had nothing to do with Rhodes, but only had to do with his original intention to transform the monster hero into a death knight.
After discovering this, Rhodes was not worried about what would happen after the transformation was completed. Now, Rhodes just wanted to know whether Elon had mastered the spiritual imprint.
For ordinary mages, spiritual imprints cannot bring any improvement in strength. Even if they learn an ordinary low-level spell, the mage can still cast it to observe the effect of its use, but spiritual imprints are not the same. , if no specific creature exists, then there will be no effect.
At this time, under Rhode's gaze, Elon nodded slowly, confirming the doubts in Rhode's mind.
As if he realized that the ceremony was about to begin, although Ailon didn't say anything, his eyes couldn't help but become sharp, watching Rhode's every move.
Even Rowling on the side could feel a dignified aura spreading in this underground space.
The solemn atmosphere was not caused by the opposition or hostility between the two people, but more by a kind of prudence, a kind of caution for the upcoming uncertainty.
For Elon, this ceremony is what he has always hoped to achieve, and for Rhodes, the success of the ceremony is related to a series of arrangements for Brakada.
Since everyone has their own goals, no one wants this ritual to fail. The loss of these materials alone is enough to make the average mage feel heartbroken for a long time.
The person who led Luo Lin in earlier had already retreated from the space and did not dare to observe the progress of the ceremony.
At this time, only Rhodes, Elon, and Rowling were left in the entire space.
