However, when Rhodes chose to join the Shadow of Death battle that took place in the second expansion pack as a necromancer, the information he had learned before was obviously not enough to allow him to deal with various possible situations in the battle.
In Rhode's opinion, the most critical piece of information he was missing was about Sandro's heroic will.
According to Rhodes' recollection, in previous games, except for the second expansion pack and the yet-to-come fourth expansion pack, every other expansion pack protagonist and their heroic will were fully displayed in the rest of the game. In the eyes of players.
What Rhodes knows best is naturally Tanan from the first expansion pack. The heroic will he possesses has already followed his actions, giving Rhodes a very clear understanding. However, Rhodes was unable to know this most critical information about Sandro in the second expansion pack.
Rhodes, who had learned from Eric in Brakada, had also heard his extremely high praise for Sandru from this powerful legendary mage.
Unlike other players, Rhodes does not believe that Sandro's true will and what he wants to achieve is just to conquer the world.
In Rhodes' view, even Eric, a powerful and legendary mage with transcendent wisdom, could not see through Sandro's true purpose. Sandro's level of forbearance had exceeded the expectations of ordinary creatures. The heroic will is obviously not that simple.
According to Rhodes' understanding, although Sandro's series of actions were all aimed at conquering the world, there may be a deeper reason behind it.
There is nothing wrong with awakening the heroic will just to satisfy the ambition in the heart, and simply satisfying the conditions for becoming a hero. Any emotion can satisfy the opportunity to become a hero, but in Rhodes' view, this One thing that doesn't apply to Sandro.
According to Rhodes' prediction and his understanding of the heroic will, Sandro most likely only regards conquering the world as a means to satisfy the true heroic will. Only after accomplishing this, will his true power Only then will the heroic will be shown.
Regarding the true heroic will of Sandro, this is also a problem that has always troubled Rhodes. Even with his past life experience, the information Rhodes can get is only at the most superficial level, and he cannot get deeper. Also more useful information.
In Rhode's impression, there were some players in the previous game who had the same idea as him. They believed that Sandro's real thoughts were not as simple as they appeared on the surface, and that they would be completely ended in the second expansion pack. After that, try to explore the hidden information, including Sandro's true heroic will.
However, all this in the previous life has long since dissipated with the aurora that purified all undead creatures at the end of the second expansion pack. Even Sandro himself also fell under the aurora, and there was no way to verify his heroic will.
Rhodes is still completely confused about this information related to Sandro, but he believes that as he comes into contact with Sandro, this special information will slowly be revealed in front of him.
Regarding such an extremely special existence, even with his past life experience, Rhodes still did not dare to be careless at all. In Rhode's view, any information learned in the past, even if it seems irrelevant at the time, may play an extremely critical role at some point.
At this time, Rhodes had information that he cared more about than Sandro's own information.
Looking at Stephen who was still here after completing the task, Rhodes' main attention at this time was on this lich.
What makes Rhodes extremely concerned is that for Sandro, an extremely extraordinary being, the information given by Lich Stephen does not have any special power. He just treats him as an ordinary necromancer. It just has a completely different will from ordinary necromancers.
If Rhodes had not mastered the game information in these previous lives, but had listened to the intelligence given by Stephen, and simply mistook Sandru as an ordinary necromancer, then the consequences could be imagined.
What surprised Rhodes was naturally the accuracy of the information Stephen gave. What Rhodes didn't believe was that a lich couldn't detect the anomaly in Sandru based on his intelligence gathering ability.
The arrival of the Death Shadow Battle will naturally be a tragic catastrophe for the surrounding areas near Diya. And for all this to happen, especially the appearance of this peerless necromancer, the lich as the original ruler of Diya , naturally should be the first to notice.
In Rhode's view, Stephen may have already realized the anomaly in Sandro. Those things hidden under the surface of Sandru's ordinary necromancer, especially the existence of combined artifacts, cannot be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Lich no matter what.
However, Stephen did not mention these situations in the information given to Rhodes. Once Rhodes fully believes the information given by Stephen, he may suffer a big loss.
What Rhodes didn't understand was whether Stephen was unaware of these peculiarities in Sandro, or was aware of them, but failed to take them to heart, or simply did not intend to tell him and let him know. Feel this for yourself.
However, no matter what the reason was, Rhodes had no other choice.
According to the information provided by Turo, Rhodes had already learned that in the entire Diya territory, perhaps only the lich in front of him had the secret method to solve the erosion of death energy.
Even before meeting Stephen, Rhodes realized how difficult it would be to obtain the secret technique from Stephen. The subsequent development also fully confirmed Rhodes' thoughts.
Tello spent a lot of energy but failed to find another method in Diya. Rhodes also didn't know how long it would take him to return to the throne once he rejected Stephen's request. Clues to this secret technique were collected.
Because of this, even if Stephen's request involves the existence of Sandru, the most important character in the second expansion pack, and is very likely to deliberately conceal some key information, Rhodes has no way to remove it. He refused, so he had to agree.
