In Rod's impression, the number of people who can use the word hero as a prefix for his name, rather than a title for strength, is very rare in the entire game world. Heroes who can do this will easily be known to players in the game.

Among these most special heroes, Rhodes is most familiar with the protagonist of the plot of the first expansion, that is, the existence of the hero Tanan. Rhodes knew that with Tanan's will, the word hero was a prefix to his name, and it was well deserved.

What convinced Rhodes of this was not only what he had heard about Tanan's experiences, but that there was something definite that could prove it to Rhodes.

The fragment of the forbidden magic ball carried by Rhodes is exactly such a thing, which is deeply related to Tanan, and even the appearance of this thing, and the ability attached to it, are all created by Tanan's will.

As the core thing of this mission, whether Rod can achieve his expectations and successfully seize the artifact in Sandru's hands also depends on the effect of the Forbidden Magic Ball fragment, if it were not for the previous experience, obtained such a powerful item, Rod would not have made his current plan at all.

For this reason, Rhodes naturally pays attention to the state of the forbidden magic ball fragment itself, in case something goes wrong.

Once this situation really happens, but Rod doesn't realize it, he may be in an extremely disadvantageous situation, whether he can win the artifact or not will no longer matter, and what Rod needs to face is how to save his own life.

Rhodes recalled that when he finished meditating in the mansion, he did an inspection of the Forbidden Ball Fragment to ensure that there was nothing unusual about the effect of the Forbidden Ball Fragment itself. It was during this process that Rhodes discovered some unusual information from the fragments of the forbidden orb.

It is obviously different from Rhodes's initial check on the information on the Forbidden Ball fragment that when Rhodes confirmed the efficacy of the Forbidden Ball Fragment again, the prompt from the system undoubtedly explained a key problem to Rhodes.

…………

【Forbidden Orb Fragments】

Equipment Requirements: Heroes

Special attributes: Generate forbidden magic space, expelling all magical elements within range. Remaining uses: 1/3

Evaluation: Under the influence of the will of the immortal hero, the Forbidden Ball fragment with special power will not change because of anything. Due to the lack of support from the hero's will body, the effect can only be activated by the hero.

…………

Through these prompts from the system, Rod could easily see the changes in the fragments of the forbidden orb. Rhodes knew that there must be something that caused this abnormal change on the Forbidden Orb fragment.

In Rod's impression, when he first obtained the Forbidden Orb Fragment, there was no restriction on it that only heroes could use, and any creature that obtained it could use it to cast a forbidden barrier with strong restrictions.

According to Rod's previous judgment, the heroic will attached to the Forbidden Orb fragment must have come from the hero Tanan, not other barbarian heroes.

Only the existence of the hero Tanan can deal with the forbidden ball itself, and infuse his own will into it, so that the fragments of the forbidden ball that should have lost some abilities have the powerful effect of the forbidden ball itself.

Rhodes believed that before Tanan handed the shards to his men, he would also be concerned that the shards would fall into the hands of creatures other than the barbarians, so there would be a limit on the number of times they could be used, and perhaps only creatures of the level of the Heroic One-Eyed had the Forbidden Orb fragments that could be used three times.

The information obtained through the system undoubtedly made Rod understand a more critical information. The changes in some of the key information in the evaluation given by the system made Rod realize that by now, Tanan was likely to end his journey and die in the first expansion.

With memories of the expansion in his previous life, Rhodes was not surprised by the appearance of this result, and in Rod's opinion, if Tanan changed the course of the game in his previous life and destroyed the entire Bracada, Rhodes would be extremely surprised.

In Rod's impression, when he first entered the City of Death, the system's description of the Forbidden Ball fragment had not undergone such a change, and it was consistent with what he had just obtained.

Rhodes realized that the time when the Forbidden Orb fragment had changed corresponded to the time he had been waiting in the mansion.

When the Forbidden Orb fragment had just undergone this change, the news of the opening of the Soul Tower where Sandru was coming from, and Rhodes didn't know if there was any connection between them, or if it was just a coincidence of time.

Whatever the factors that led to this situation, the death of the hero Tanan undoubtedly made Rhodes aware of the period he was in.

Since in the game of his previous life, Rhodes chose to work as an orthodox mage of Bracada, and Rod has a more detailed memory of the general process of the first expansion.

With the death of the hero Tanan, even the forbidden orb was lost on the battlefield, and the barbarian forces from Krurod could no longer compete with the mages of Bracada.

At the end of the first expansion, the major events that took place were one more event than the mages of Bracada completing the final end of the campaign.

According to Rod's understanding, it was during this period that the protagonist of the second expansion, Sandru, showed the power of the artifact in the eyes of all necromancers, completing the integration of Deya's forces.

By the time the second expansion was officially launched, the entire Deya had been fully cohesively united and had begun to wage war against the surrounding area. Even the lich, who rarely interfered in external affairs and only blindly accumulated power, joined Sandru's camp during this period.

At this time, through what he observed, Rhodes could not perceive Sandru's integration of Deya's forces. According to Rod's prediction, at this time, in the territory of Diya, the only lich who has heard of Sandru's deeds is probably Stephen in the Death Wasteland.

Because of this, Rhodes realized that at this time, he was already at the core of the process of influencing the expansion, even if he had no intention of seizing the artifact, as Sandru truly revealed the power of the artifact, the situation would immediately change.

Realizing this, Rod felt a solemnity in his heart for the next task to be completed.
