Before transforming the heroic Thunderbird into a Death Knight, one of the problems Rhodes had to face was his own lack of mental control attributes.
Since the hero Thunderbird itself has a higher level, after transforming it into a death knight, it needs to consume more spiritual attributes of the necromancer to form a spiritual imprint to control it.
For Rhodes, the only advantage is that the mental attributes occupied by the heroic Thunderbird will not be improved because of its heroic status, but will be the same as controlling an ordinary sixth-level undead. Biologically identical.
Even so, according to Rhodes at this time, the mental attributes required to control the heroic Thunderbird are still extremely large in numerical value. According to Rhodes' rough estimate, the mental imprint that controls the heroic Thunderbird requires at least 60 points of mental attributes to be formed.
In order to control these undead creatures, especially those high-level undead creatures, the initial mental attributes alone are obviously not enough. In order to achieve this, the unique control spirit of the necromancer is needed.
Through deep meditation, the necromancer can gain additional mental attributes to control undead creatures. The controlled mental attributes occupied will not affect the necromancer's own spellcasting ability.
For those lichs who are at the same level as the heroic Thunderbird, have reached level six or above, and have broken away from the human form, their control mental attributes have at least a few hundred points. Some of the great lich lords in Diya can even control their spirits to the tune of thousands of points.
For these lichs, after a long period of accumulation, according to their abilities, they can naturally control the number and huge number of undead creatures. Naturally, these lichs would not pay attention to the mental attributes of a sixth-level death knight.
However, for Rhodes at this time, he was simply unable to provide such a huge spiritual attribute for the spiritual imprint of the hero Thunderbird.
When the ghost dragon's strength has been improved, the spiritual attributes it occupies have also been greatly improved, far beyond what it could compare to when it just entered the sixth level.
Coupled with the undead creatures originally controlled by Rhodes, they also occupy a large amount of control spirit. At this time, Rhodes' control spirit has been completely occupied, and even the most basic mental attributes have dropped below 10 points.
For the current Rhodes, due to his low mental attributes, any spell he casts can only have effects at the level of a mage apprentice. Although Rhodes' mana has not decreased at all, Rhodes' current overall strength has undoubtedly dropped a lot.
Among the many spells that Rhodes masters, apart from teleportation, the only one that is not affected by mental attributes is Titan's Arrow.
Due to Titan's Arrow's special effects, it was very different from the rest of the spells from the start. Rhodes cannot rely on his own spiritual attributes to increase the power of Titan's Arrow. He can only increase the number of artifact parts collected and invest additional mana into the spell to increase the damage of Titan's Arrow.
Regarding the lack of mental control attributes, Rhodes has no way to solve it in a short time.
Through deep meditation, the necromancer can greatly improve his control spirit.
Unlike the improvement of mental attributes, which will weaken with the effect of deep meditation, and can only increase the mental attributes by less than 10 points at most, there is no such limitation in manipulating mental attributes.
How much the Necromancer can improve his control spirit by relying on deep meditation depends on the number of times the Necromancer performs deep meditation.
Every time the strength of the necromancer rises to a higher level, the strength of the undead creatures that can be obtained also changes, and he will inevitably face the situation of insufficient control spirit.
When this situation occurs, the necromancer will need to spend a long time in deep meditation in order to obtain enough control spirit, which is also equivalent to a limit on the speed of the necromancer's improvement.
But for Rhodes, there was not much time to spend in deep meditation like the other necromancers.
After all, when Rhodes is in deep meditation, other things will not be waiting for Rhodes. Once Rhodes spends a long time in deep meditation, he will undoubtedly miss all the battles in the current expansion pack.
Regarding the lack of control spirit, Rhodes could not find any good way to deal with it for a while.
Due to the special ability of the Heroic Thunderbird, Rhodes is confident that he can use the Heroic Thunderbird to gain a lot of experience points during the war. However, in this case, Rhodes can only give up the transformation of the Heroic Thunderbird for the time being and try again later. Think of other ways.
At this time, Rhodes also noticed the experience points he had.
While Rhodes was in Silvercliff City and participating in the potion competition, the centaur leader controlled by Rhodes was fighting for him in Vilning with the Mother of Souls given by Rhodes.
In the process, the ghost dragon also obeyed the command of the centaur leader and earned Rhodes a lot of experience points during the battle.
Rhodes noticed that he currently has a total of 141,500 experience points, which is enough to improve his level a lot.
"90,000 experience points are consumed, and the remaining experience points are 51,500. The professional level is upgraded from Level 4 Necromancer Level 4 to Level 4 Necromancer Level 6..."
"Get 2 free attribute points, get 2 skill points..."
After leveling up, Rhodes allocated the free attribute points he obtained and all the remaining attribute points to his mental attributes.
With the improvement brought by these attribute points, Rhodes's mental attribute, which was originally less than 10 points, immediately eased and returned to 13 points.
While Rhodes was assigning attributes, another change occurred in the attribute panel, which caught Rhode's attention.
Rhodes discovered that the remaining 51,500 experience points suddenly changed.
In the attribute panel, the experience value began to jump upward. After two short intervals during the jump, the experience value finally stayed at 60,900 points.
At this time, these newly added experience points are enough for Rhodes to continue to upgrade his character level to level 4 necromancer level 7, but what makes Rhodes concerned is the source of these experience points.
After checking the items recorded in the system log, Rhodes understood the source of these experience points.
According to the records in the system log, the newly added experience points came from the three thunderbirds that had endured the breath of the ghost dragon. Although these thunderbirds were evacuated from the battlefield in time, at this time, under the influence of the Netherworld Dragon Breath, these thunderbirds were already dead.
