Listening to what Tello said, Stephen on the side didn't seem to be touched in any way. Rhodes couldn't realize from the change in her expression what she might be thinking at this time.
Compared with ordinary creatures, the lich, which has survived for an unknown number of years, already has an extremely terrifying mentality and will not be shaken by anything in the outside world. Even after hearing the information Tello said, this witch The demon's expression remained unchanged.
Facing existences of this level, Rhodes' peeping eyes have long lost their effect. At this time, the only thing Rhodes can rely on to analyze intelligence is his own ability.
Listening to Turo's words, he seemed to realize the purpose of Rhodes' trip. After a moment of silence, Stephen asked Rhodes on the side: "Are you, as he said, in search of the secret method?" Come?"
Facing the question from the lich in front of him, Rhodes nodded as his answer.
Although Tello has explained Rhodes' origin to the lich in his words, the lich still needs to confirm this with Rhodes in person.
After receiving a positive reply from Rhodes, Stephen seemed to notice something and became somewhat interested at this time, saying:
"I noticed that you have unusual death energy in your body, far exceeding any necromancer I have ever seen. According to your level of spiritualism, you should not be troubled by this problem. So, why are you Want to explore this secret method?"
Through Stephen's words, Rhodes also realized that she also had a full understanding of how to deal with the erosion of the body by death energy. She understood that as long as she transcended the restrictions of rank and mastered epic-level spiritualism in advance, she could avoid death. Erosion of energy.
Rhodes was not surprised at all by Stephen's knowledge. In Rhode's view, if this lich didn't understand this knowledge that even Tello was extremely familiar with, it might be more surprising to him.
Rhodes realized that the purpose of this lich asking him this was mainly to doubt his true purpose. In the eyes of this lich, he was obviously very different from Tello. There was no need to worry about being criticized by this question. Troubled.
Faced with Stephen's question, Rhodes did not explain much, but answered directly: "I seek this secret method not for myself, but for someone around me."
After hearing Rhode's explanation, Stephen could also feel the will contained in Rhode's words. For a moment, Stephen seemed to realize something, and couldn't help but fell silent. It wasn't until a while later that he continued to say to Rhodes:
"If you want to get the secret from me, I believe you should know the price you may have to pay."
After hearing Stephen's words at this time, Rhodes couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Through her words, Rhodes realized that at this time, Stephen had undoubtedly approved the answer she gave. What she wanted to discuss with her next was how much price she would pay for this secret method.
In the process of transactions between mages, especially transactions involving this secret method, a corresponding price must be paid before it can be obtained.
If you want to obtain a powerful secret method or a higher-level spell from other mages, you must pay an equivalent price. If you cannot obtain a spell of the same level, you need to make up for it in other aspects. .
Rhodes knew this very clearly from the game in his previous life. When he heard Stephen's words, he understood what she meant.
Rhodes had already predicted the price he would pay in exchange for this secret technique before he came to this location.
Previously, when Rhodes saw Turo's existence in the City of Dark Wind, he realized that there was an abnormality in Turo.
In Rhode's view, apart from Turo's face returning to its original state, what is more worthy of his attention is the abnormal change in his death energy.
Rhodes noticed that Turo's death energy seemed to be integrated into something else, which greatly enhanced Turo's original strength. The abnormal things existing in Tello's death energy are a higher level of death energy.
This higher level of death energy naturally does not come from Tello himself, but belongs to the more powerful necromancer.
According to Rhodes' understanding of death energy, after Turo's death, Turo will be immediately transformed into an undead creature under the action of this abnormal death energy. At the same time, this death energy will also derive a special The spiritual imprint of Tello completely controls the undead creature transformed by Tello.
In Rhodes' view, the anomaly that existed in Turo was similar to what he had seen in Elot, the magical transformation of the necromancer's body. The difference was that the abnormality that existed in Turo The effect of the transformation on the body is obviously much more powerful, and the overall technique is approaching perfection, which is a true transformation of the undead.
Although Rhodes was aware of the high-quality death energy present in Tello before, he did not think about it in terms of transforming the undead at all. He just regarded it as Tello's improvement for himself and the high-level necromancer. the means available.
Only then, after feeling the aura on Stephen's body and thinking about the price to pay to obtain this secret technique, did Rhodes realize this.
In Rhode's perception, there is no difference between the abnormal death energy existing in Turo's body and the death energy released by Stephen. The two are obviously of the same origin. Even when Stephen releases the death energy, The death energy in Tello's body will also be triggered by it.
The observed anomalies made it clear to Rhodes at this time that the abnormal death energy existing in Turo's body came from Stephen.
This also made Rhodes realize that before this, Stephen had completed the transformation of Turo. When Turo died due to various accidents, he would be directly transformed into an undead creature controlled by Stephen.
Before Turo died, the abnormal death energy that existed in his body not only did not have any negative impact on him, but could even enhance his own death energy, allowing him to feel the epic level of the lich in advance. Spiritualism.
After discovering this, Rhodes could only sigh at Stephen's superb skills in transforming the undead, which far exceeded all types of undead transformation that Rhodes knew.
