After hearing what Saili said, Rhodes also realized the seriousness of the problem.
According to Rhodes' original prediction, in order to complete Lich Stephen's mission, Tamik, who is located outside the Spiritualization Tower, will try his best to block the presence of the hero Degar and prevent the powerful vampire king from interfering with this mission.
What Rhodes didn't expect was that such a change would happen to the city lord Tamik. After he and others entered the soul-calling tower, they no longer blocked the hero Degar, or Tamik had difficulty transforming into a bat. The bat behind blocked him, and then the scene that Rhodes saw happened.
In this case, a large number of bats were flying towards the top of the Soul-Calling Tower ahead of Rhodes and his party.
After confirming the identity of the vampires corresponding to these bats through Saili's words, Rhodes realized that the appearance of the hero Degar was undoubtedly the variable that threatened him the most in this mission.
Unlike the necromancer, who loses his spellcasting ability and loses most of his strength, the vampire's strength is hardly limited by his spellcasting ability.
Similar to Saili, there are only a very small number of vampires with certain spell-casting abilities when transformed into human form. Most vampires still rely on their innate abilities to fight.
The existence of the forbidden magic barrier cannot even put any restrictions on the vampire's ability to transform into bats, let alone affect their combat skills and basic attributes.
Rhodes believes that this is also very applicable to the hero Degal.
In a battle with such a powerful vampire, even if Rhodes actively uses the magic-forbidden ball fragments to open the magic-forbidden barrier, it may not have any effect. Even the magic-forbidden ball itself cannot limit its combat ability.
From what he had observed before, Rhodes was able to determine that the original group of bats was heading to the top of the Soul-Calling Tower, not some other area.
In this case, Degal's arrival undoubtedly added some uncertainties to Rhode's entire plan. What Rhodes was most concerned about was naturally Degal's purpose.
Regarding Saili's emphasis on Degar's heroic identity, this was not the first time Rhodes heard about it. This was also mentioned in part of the information originally given by Tamik.
Rhodes recalled that the title used by Tamik when he first mentioned Degar was, as Saili emphasized, the name he used was exactly the hero Degar, rather than the direct name.
However, Tamik took the initiative to conceal the title of hero when he later called Degal. Rhodes did not pay too much attention to it and just regarded this title as a reminder of Degal's heroic identity.
But at this time, after Saili's reminder, Rhodes realized that the name Degar was not as simple as he originally thought.
In Rhode's impression, the names given to heroes in the game world mostly refer to their special identities, that is, the possession of hero templates.
As the key to deciding whether to become a hero, the emergence of heroic will has different manifestations in each hero. Emotional outburst, firm will, and consistent behavior can become the root of heroic will.
Under the combined effect of this strong heroic will and the strength bonus brought by the hero template, the existence of a hero can easily achieve achievements that are unimaginable for ordinary creatures.
However, the arrival of heroes may not be a good thing for ordinary creatures in the game.
In the eyes of most ordinary creatures, the actions of heroes often appear extremely paranoid and difficult to be understood by ordinary people. Even when they conflict with the existing systems in the world, heroes will put their own will first in order to implement their inner will. .
There are very few heroes who exist as their own will with ideas that are consistent with the views of all conventional creatures. In Rhodes' view, the thing that can most easily inspire heroic will is the existence of resistance, whether it is resistance to things, or spiritual resistance, that is, an explosion of emotion.
In addition, if heroes want to establish their own careers, they often need to use war. As heroes, they naturally have stronger appeal than other creatures, and this is a serious problem for ordinary creatures. intrusion.
Not all creatures are like heroes, with extremely strong will. Most of the time, without the leadership of heroes, what ordinary creatures think about is more about how to survive in the continuous flames of war.
Even a hero can find it difficult to implement his will after an explosion of emotion and will.
When you first awaken to become a hero, the will and thoughts you have will eventually change after decades or even hundreds of years of precipitation and baptism. Even the will of a hero will eventually become silent.
Once this situation occurs, the hero's own concept changes. When they no longer have the original heroic will, their heroic template can still be retained, but they will lose their original heroic specialties. In this kind of situation, Under such circumstances, they can still retain their original titles and can still be called heroes.
This title about heroes is more about explaining their special status and does not contain other meanings.
However, in Rhode's impression, under certain special circumstances, hero can be used as a special title to explain some special problems.
Since the hero himself is always receiving information from different things, it is not surprising that the original hero's will changes under the intersection of various information.
However, among the many heroes, there are still some who are extremely special. No matter what they have experienced or how many years have passed, they will not change their will until the end of their lives.
For such beings, the title of hero is undoubtedly a manifestation of their identity, allowing them to always remember their heroic will in their hearts.
In this case, the meaning of the title hero will be very different. It represents not only the heroic template and heroic identity of this hero, but also the character that exists in his heart. True will.
In Rhode's impression, for this special existence, the title hero is often used as a prefix before their name, and the hero Degar mentioned by Saili fits this point.
