Chapter 649: Intelligence II

After coming to this world, due to the intelligence of the previous life, the choices made by Rod in many cases will also consider the progress of the entire expansion, so as to strive for the greatest benefit for himself.
And this is also the experience gained by Rod in previous games. As long as he follows the plot of the expansion, he can gain a lot from himself.
In the games of the previous life, it is not only Rhode who understands this. After three baptisms, almost all players understand this truth.
However, after coming to this world, what Rod considered was no longer the competition among players, but other more important things.
In Rod's impression, the players at that time were extremely fanatical about the forthcoming expansion and even reached a point of madness.
Players at that time, even at any cost in order to know the information that may exist in the fourth expansion.
Whether it is the information recorded in the Master’s classics, the information sold in the Thieves’ Guild, or even the rumored news circulating in the tavern, these players will try their best to collect it, only to be in the forthcoming fourth expansion. , Take advantage of some opportunities and gain a greater advantage than other players
Not only confined to the surface world, players’ collection of the fourth information piece of intelligence even extends to many other places, whether it is the underground world where the magician lives, or the element plane with very special rules, there are players in front. To collect information.
It is in this situation that the Hydra Trench in the Elemental Plane of Water and the ultimate Hydra in it have entered the players' vision.
The seventh-level pinnacle creature, even in the entire game, does not exist much. Even in the first few pieces of information, there are only a few occurrences of this level of creatures, and each time it appears, it causes Great destruction, and even changed the situation of a war.
Even the most powerful creature recognized on the main plane, the holy dragon known as the king of the dragons, will have no more than the seventh-order peak. It is conceivable that this level of creatures is rare.
In this case, the ultimate Hydra in the plane of the water element has undoubtedly attracted the attention of many players.
In the eyes of these players, such a mysterious ultimate Hydra exists deep in the trench, and it will naturally not be a simple existence. Even if its position does not exist in the main plane, but in the element plane, who can guarantee that it must have nothing to do with the fourth expansion.
Through the existence of the ultimate Hydra, players have developed many associations. Perhaps the fourth expansion has a certain relationship with the creatures in the elemental plane, and even with the existence of the entire elemental plane.
Because of this, many players who believe in this initiative take the initiative to come to the Elemental Plane of Water, seeking information about the ultimate Hydra.
However, what other players who did not believe in this did not expect is that after the research of these players who came to the water elemental plane, they really found signs that may be related to the fourth expansion.
According to the analysis made by the players at that time, when they studied the first three expansions for a long time, they came to a consistent conclusion from the things recorded in the expansions. Every piece of information in the game is very different in plot, but what runs through these pieces of information has one thing in common.
Whether it is the natural hero Tanan in the ruins of the of war, and the magic ball he holds, the peerless necromancer in the shadow of death, the two necromancer artifacts he has, or the things that happened in the third expansion. A message was clearly communicated to these players.
When each expansion occurs, there are heroes who play the protagonist in the expansion, and they hold one or more artifacts in their hands.
The effects of these artifacts are very special, and can only be used as a kind of auxiliary, or they have extremely powerful power. None of them exist regularly.
However, it is undeniable that it is with the help of these artifacts that these extremely powerful heroes have set off battle after battle, which has caused great changes in the entire world and finally formed this series. The content of the expansion.
In the previous game, players who came to the Hydra Trench for research, but from some of the signs revealed in it, discovered the existence of things that are suspected of artifacts.
Of course, this suspicion alone cannot convince most of the players at that time. Among the players who believed that the fourth expansion was related to it at that time, there was even Rhodes.
In addition to inside the game, players continue to collect intelligence to try to predict the content of the fourth expansion pack in advance. Outside the game, players have not given up on this.
According to the information that players knew at the time, the first three expansions in the game were all adapted from centuries ago. They are the most primitive and need to be operated on the computer, not the invincible hero 3 that enters into it.
However, when the third expansion is over, the main plot in the original game is also over. Players naturally have no clue about the fourth expansion.
Unable to obtain more information from the original game, players can only focus on the direction of "heroes" and "artifacts" based on previous research on the expansion pack.
In this case, players are extremely concerned about the artifact that may exist in the Hydra Trench. Even if it is finally confirmed that this artifact has nothing to do with the fourth expansion, it is extremely important for its own strength to be able to obtain the artifact. Great promotion.
At the same time, another news about this artifact, especially all players are excited.
According to the information obtained by a certain player from reality, as early as a few centuries ago, a group of players who loved Heroes Invincible 3 had created many extended materials for them. The record of the artifact.
It's just that these things created by the players at that time were more like a mod of the game, rather than an informal dlc. No player can be sure that these things have been officially included in the current game a few centuries later.
Even so, as players confirmed the news, a large number of players who were afraid of falling behind chose to believe this and came to the water elemental plane to start making corresponding preparations for the next expansion.
