Unable to find any other way, Rhodes may not have been able to refuse Stephen's request at this time. In this case, Rod could only promise it.

Recalling the information Stephen had given, when he learned that the necromancer was Sandru, Rhodes was able to detect some unusual information from it.

What made Rhodes feel extremely concerned was naturally the doubts raised by these necromancers led by Sandru in Stephen's words about the Endless Long Night Ritual.

In Rhodes' impression, the Endless Night Ritual has an unusual meaning for all the necromancers existing in the territory of Dia, and no necromancer would choose to question the existence of the Endless Night Ritual.

The existence of the Endless Night Ritual is the only way for a necromancer to be promoted to a lich, and any necromancer who has reached a certain level of rank must carry out the Endless Night Ritual if he wants to continue to improve his strength.

In the territory of Diya, necromancers don't care, after holding the Endless Night Ritual, what kind of changes will be brought to their own existence, what they care about is more about the improvement of their strength.

Through the Ritual of the Endless Night, necromancers are able to elevate their life forms to become more powerful lichs.

Not only that, but for the necromancer who held the Endless Night Ritual, the level of Spiritualism that could not be raised again could be completely eliminated after the Endless Night Ritual, and the restrictions could be improved again.

It is precisely because of the various benefits that the Endless Night Ritual brings to necromancers that for any necromancer, the existence of the Endless Night Ritual is equivalent to the path they must go through when practicing necromancer, and under normal circumstances, there will be no necromancer at all who will question the existence of the Endless Night Ritual.

In Rhodes' opinion, the only people who can think about the real changes brought about by the Endless Night Ritual are the lichs with infinite energy, not ordinary necromancers.

On top of that, there is no benefit to be gained from questioning the existence of the Endless Night Ritual for ordinary necromancers.

For such an endless long night ritual that has been circulating for an unknown amount of time and has long been recognized by all necromancers, the doubts of a single necromancer will only seem irrelevant.

Aside from performing the Endless Night Ritual to transform themselves into lichs, there is simply no other systematic path for veteran necromancers to choose from and increase their strength.

Even in Rhodes' impression in his previous life, in the territory of Diya, there were not many high-level creatures who could give up the Endless Long Night Ritual and choose other ways to advance to the rank.

Except for some high-level undead creatures who have mastered spiritualism under special circumstances, such as those who once had the identity of heroes and were transformed by necromancers after death, or undead creatures with great power themselves, in the territory of Diya, necromancers can choose extremely limited promotion methods.

Not many senior necromancers would choose a path other than becoming a lich and be able to advance their ranks.

The Lich's abilities, both their ability to control undead creatures and their ability to make themselves incorruptible, have drawn the necromancers into taking the initiative to perform this transformation through the Endless Night Ritual.

Due to the Lich's long reign over Dia, the Lich has a very special position in the territory of Dia, and the only option any necromancer can make after learning of the area where a Lich is present is to stay away from the location as soon as possible and avoid any contact with it.

In addition to being promoted to a lich, in the territory of Diya, even if there is a high-level necromancer, it may be difficult to get the awe of the rest of the necromancers, even in the real rank, the high-level necromancer is not weaker than the real lich, but in the opinion of the average necromancer, only the real lich is the most noble existence.

Even Rhodes himself has a lot of confusion about the choice of the rank he is about to promote. What puzzled Rhodes was, of course, not the Endless Night Ritual itself.

What puzzled Rhodes was only the choice of a promotion path. In Rhodes' opinion, after being promoted to a lich through the Endless Night Ritual, there may not be a way to bring about such a big improvement in his own strength as he imagined.

Unlike ordinary lichs, most of Rhodes' strength lies not in the undead creatures he controls, but in himself.

Whether it is casting spells or borrowing the unique abilities attached to various treasures, these can be counted as Rhodes' own strength, in addition, although the undead creatures controlled by Rhodes are still powerful, the main factor that can really affect the battle situation is Rhode's own ability.

After being promoted to a lich, for ordinary necromancers, the most attractive point for them is that the lich has an almost infinite lifespan and the ability to not decay, which cannot be exerted in a short period of time on Rhodes.

For Rod, even if he successfully survived the Death Shadow Campaign, it wouldn't be long before there would be a more difficult campaign that would affect the entire Main Plane at the same time, not to mention the fourth expansion that might exist later.

In Rod's opinion, without a long period of time, the Lich's own characteristics could not be brought into full play. In this case, the ability of the lich to accumulate strength cannot be reflected here in Rhodes at all.

It was also in such a situation that Rhodes was full of hesitation in the choice of rank when he was promoted, and whether to choose the path of becoming a lich.

In Rod's view, what attracts him the most about being promoted to the lich is not the improvement it brings to his own strength, but the uncorruptible characteristics that the lich has.

Due to the existence of the lich, which is very similar to the undead creatures, but significantly surpasses all the undead creatures, under the effect of this characteristic, the lich has the ability to live forever, as long as it is not in battle, it is killed by other powerful creatures, it can exist forever, and at the same time complete the accumulation of undead creatures.

This is also the path chosen by most of the lichs in Diya, with an almost infinite lifespan, as long as it exists like this, any lich can accumulate an endless number of undead creatures.
