Azeroth: Starting with Eagle Eye in the Necropolis

Page 24

Chapter 46 was quite fruitful; building a refugee camp in the wilderness.

Upon hearing this, Uther pondered for a moment and then nodded to Rhodes in agreement.

Rod didn't stand on ceremony and immediately jumped down from the bottom of the pit, which was about four or five meters deep. Normally, if an Earthling jumped down there, he would be half-dead or dead.

But Rhodes' body is no ordinary Earthling's. After transmigrating to this world, Rhodes discovered that the hero attributes did not improve his physical abilities!

Instead, it enhances magical power and strengthens troop types. So why is their physical condition improved? It's because they used the power of holy light.

After traveling for more than a month, Rhode discovered that every time he used the power of holy light, a portion of the holy light would enter his body and strengthen him.

Rhodes also asked Uther and the other paladins about this matter, and they all said it was a blessing from the Holy Light.

Most of the first generation of paladins were actually priests. The reason they possessed physical abilities that were even more terrifying than those of warriors who had trained for many years was because of the blessing of the Holy Light.

It is beneficial to summon the Holy Light frequently and let it cleanse your body.

It has to be said that the six fundamental forces in the Warcraft universe—the Force of Life and the Force of Light—are truly remarkable!

“Since it’s the Guardian’s will, Rhodes, use my warhammer to destroy it! The Silver Hand Warhammer should be able to completely destroy this monster.” Uther handed the Silver Hand Warhammer to Rhodes.

Now that he has become the master of the Silver Hand Warhammer, Rhodes can temporarily use this Titan Guardian weapon with his authorization.

"Thank you, Lord Uther." Rhodes accepted Uther's Silver Hand Warhammer without ceremony, then summoned the power of holy light. The Silver Hand Warhammer shone with a reddish-white light mixed with a trace of golden power.

Under Kazaz's fierce gaze, Rhodes swung his hammer and smashed it down on the monster's head. A powerful burst of holy light erupted, completely shattering the monster before him.

The long-lost notification sound rang in Rhodes' mind!

A glorious victory! You have gained 12,000 experience points.

Congratulations on your hero reaching level 6! Congratulations on your hero reaching level 7! You have gained two extra attribute points.

This time, Rhodes didn't put all his effort into knowledge; instead, he added a little to strength and a little to knowledge.

My magic power has reached 70 points, and with my own healing magic, Wisdom Blessing, Arcane Wisdom, and Meditation, that's enough.

Once your own power reaches 4, the power of the Magic Arrow will be 50 points, and you can summon 8 elementals, which can be converted into 4 Holy Light elementals.

Your Eagle Eye spell has worked, and you have learned the shadow magic, Shadow Lash. It consumes 0.5 mana to form a giant tentacle of shadow power, which you then swing to attack your enemy.

Zarkaz is indeed very powerful, but he has used very few shadow spells. He has always fought with his bare hands, and the only shadow spells he has ever used were stolen by Rhodes using Eagle Eye.

After leveling up twice, Rhodes also gained two opportunities to upgrade his skills. Currently, Rhodes possesses the skills Intermediate Necromancy, Intermediate Eagle Eye, and Intermediate Earth Magic.

Hopefully this time it will be better, and I won't get any more useless skills. I've already gotten useless skills three times in a row.

Please choose either advanced earth magic or basic intelligence.

The choice between advanced earth magic and basic intelligence gave Rhodes a bit of a dilemma.

Intelligence is a very good thing; it can be said to be an essential skill for magic heroes.

Even at the beginner level, it can increase a hero's maximum mana by 25%, at the intermediate level it's 50%, and at the advanced level it's 100%.

This boost is enormous. After thinking for a moment, Rhodes chose Intelligence. This skill is always the first choice, whether in reality or in the game, as it has no downsides.

With a 25% increase in mana, Rhodes' mana instantly reached 87 points. After casting Blessing of Wisdom, it could break through to 92 points. Only with this amount of mana could he be truly safe!

The second skill upgrade introduced Advanced Eagle Eye and Basic Logistics. This time, a miracle occurred within the game. Logistics in a game...!

Rhodes would almost never hesitate to choose this option; in Heroes of Might and Magic III, being fast is an advantage.

The advantages of logistics are simply too great.

In reality, Rhodes could easily equip his troops within the system, and when needed for battle, he could also use the mage's teleportation technology to move quickly.

There's simply no chance to escape with troops, so the miracles in the game are pretty useless in reality. On the other hand, Eagle Eye, with a 60% chance of learning spells below level 4 after being upgraded to a higher level, is much more useful in the world of Azeroth.

Rhodes chose to upgrade his advanced Eagle Eye spell. Combined with the Fire-Eyed Man treasure and his own Eagle Eye skill, he now had at least an 80% chance of stealing his opponent's magic.

I could steal magic from almost every battle, but what a pity! The other magic types I longed for, and even the spell of wisdom, never appeared.

And then came the main event, where Zakaz the Faceless One alone provided 12000 experience points.

Rhodes was really looking forward to the outdoor structures this guy could reveal.

After defeating the Faceless One Zarkaz, Rhodes received two special wilderness rewards: a wilderness barracks and a basic magic temple.

Wilderness barracks are completely randomized, while the Elementary Magic Temple allows heroes carrying spellbooks to copy spells, essentially providing an extra opportunity to learn magic.

Rhodes immediately directed Sciark, who was in town, to go out and check out the rudimentary magic temple.

You have discovered a novice magic temple, and in order to gain your protection, the novice priest inside agrees to teach you a simple spell.

Congratulations, your hero Sciark has learned the first-level water magic healing!

6 mana cost. Effect: Removes negative magical effects from selected friendly units and restores 5 x 10 health points. Will not revive units.

Basic water magic reduces mana cost by one point, intermediate water magic grants +20 health points, and advanced water magic affects the entire army.

Healing cannot revive. To be honest, this spell is similar in effect to the Holy Light ability of a Paladin, but it consumes much more resources.

However, the key point is that it can dispel negative magical influences, which is really powerful.

Moreover, unlike Holy Light, this healing ability can heal other inanimate objects, such as undead, elementals, demons, and iron men.

Rhodes planned to test the effects of the magic later, and then looked at the wild unit reward: an extremely simple little tent, a refugee camp!

Holy crap! This is god-tier architecture! The heavens! Black Dragon! Tank! Behemoth!

Although it's called a refugee camp, you can randomly get any type of unit inside. If you're lucky, you're practically invincible!

Chapter 47 The Mighty Golden Man, a Monster Almost Immune to Magic

The weekly random troop selection is calculated by players, with a 55% chance of encountering a high-level troop – that's incredibly generous.

What's even more precious is that the refugee camp was completely unguarded. With excitement, Rhodes immediately commanded Stank to head towards the refugee camp.

You visited a refugee camp, where there are three golden statues. Are you recruiting them?

Rhodes chose to recruit directly. The price of one golden man is 500 gold coins, so three golden men would cost 1500.

The Golden Man's attributes are Attack 11, Defense 12, Damage 8~10, Health 50, and Speed ​​5.

This attribute is already quite good, it's just a bit slow, but it's at least better than the trash level 5 troops in a certain elemental city.

And they also have 85% magic damage immunity! Magic damage immunity is the strongest passive skill of the Golden Man.

When this thing appears on the battlefield, you can only fight it in melee combat. Fighting it with magic is like scratching a thorn in your side!

This guy's close-combat ability is terrifying; he can teach you a lesson with his iron fists in no time.

His subordinate unit, Iron Man, is known as the Snow Mountain Boxing King. Among the third-tier units, he is the most capable in terms of fighting and endurance.

The cost-effectiveness is off the charts, and most importantly, the Golden Men are not the same as the Undead troops!

Rhodes can summon them and perfectly explain their origins. Look! These are the powerful magical creations bestowed upon me by the Great Guardian.

It's absolutely perfect!

After Stronk returned to the city, Rhodes directly transferred the three golden figures to his team through the system town.

After reviewing his gains, Rhodes mentally exited the system town.

“It seems you’ve had a very fruitful trip, Rhodes. Did the Titan Guardians give you another reward?” Uther asked as he approached.

The others, including the sorceress Jaina, also gathered around with curiosity. The magic scroll that Rhode had taken out earlier was incredibly powerful!

This time, it seems that Rhodes has received a new reward from the Titan Guardians.

"Hahaha! Lord Uther, Gina, everyone, you guessed right. The great Titan Guardian has rewarded me once again. This time, he has given me three powerful bodyguards," Rhodes said with a smug look on his face.

The advertisement claims that a mysterious Titan protects the outside world, and that you have obtained the identity of a Titan Guardian's messenger—it's incredibly awesome!

"Bodyguards? What kind of bodyguards? Lord Rhodes, may we take a look?"

"Yes, Lord Rhodes! Let us behold the magnificent creation of the Titans!"

"Please, Rhodes, hurry up! Let us see your powerful guardian!" The sorceress Jaina also looked anxious.

Even Uther was looking forward to seeing what kind of magical artifact Rhodes would produce, since it was a gift personally bestowed by the Titan Guardian.

Rhodes smiled, not wanting to keep everyone in suspense, and directly summoned the golden man from his unit's grid.

After a burst of golden light, three towering metal giants appeared before the crowd.

They have golden muscles all over their bodies, their heads are decorated like those of ancient Egyptian pharaohs, and their skin shines with a metallic luster.

They were about 5 meters tall, looking extremely imposing and intimidating, leaving the paladins, the sorceress Jaina, and the Tyr's Guards only able to look up at them.

The Tyr guards present were shocked. In their ancient records, even the giant Vrykul were only 3 meters tall, at most 3.5 meters.

But a height of 5 meters is definitely top-tier Titan creation. It is said that some Titan Guardians are only seven or eight meters tall, or even around ten meters.

"Is this the legendary Titan creation? It is indeed a metallic life form, completely different from the magical constructs that appear in Azeroth today." The female mage excitedly went up and touched the golden body.

They have a cool, metallic feel to the touch, and their entire bodies are streamlined, showing absolutely no signs of being artificially crafted.

Uther was also amazed. He had just activated his Holy Light perception to the fullest extent, but he had not noticed anything unusual about Rhodes. The strength of this powerful Titan Guardian was simply unfathomable!

They followed them unnoticed, monitoring their every move remotely and even at close range, and even rewarded Rhodes.

Moreover, gold is more popular among humans or other races. These three golden figures are top-notch in terms of appearance, strength, and coolness.

Under Rhodes' control, the three giant golden figures moved their bodies simultaneously, turned their heads to look at the group, and this action startled everyone, causing them to take a step back.

"Rhodes, how strong are they?" the female mage asked.

"As for combat strength, why don't you test it?" Rhodes said.

The Jin people have a defense of up to 12 points. Ordinary swords and cold weapons cannot harm their bodies at all, and cannot reduce their health.

Moreover, even if they lose blood, the healing spells learned by Rhodes Star can heal these metallic lifeforms.

Rhodes wanted to test how much magic the golden golem could resist in Azeroth.

"You mean you want me to use magic to attack these Titan Guardian creations?" the female mage asked.

“That’s right! When the Titan Guardians handed them over to me, they told me about their uses. They have very high magic resistance. You can try it with magic.” Rhodes nodded and said.

"Then I'll give it a try!" The female mage excitedly took her stance and began casting a spell, firing an ice arrow.

The ice arrow struck the golden man's body and then vanished without even breaking his skin or causing any damage.
