On the altar, the silver hand warhammer in Uther's hand glowed with a divine light, and a powerful and pure holy energy emanated from its body.
"Light above... this feeling... it's amazing!" Uther clutched the warhammer, his face filled with shock and reverence.
He could clearly feel that the warhammer contained not just power, but also the will and legacy of Tyr to guard order and fight evil.
This artifact seemed to become an extension of his limb; the Holy Light flowed through it incredibly smoothly, its power multiplied.
"Congratulations, Lord Uther!" The Leader of Tyr's Guards knelt on one knee, excited.
"The Silver Hand has finally returned to its true inheritor!"
"Congratulations, Lord Uther."
"The true Silver Hand has appeared, he is the great Uther the Lightbringer."
"For Tyr! For Order!" The other Tyr's Guards also saluted, and everyone's morale was greatly boosted.
Rhodes also had a smile on his face; after the battle had just ended, Rhodes also received a system prompt.
A glorious victory! You gained thousands of experience points! Your level has increased to 5!
Rhodes pondered for a moment about the extra attribute point and decided to add it to Knowledge; at this stage, mana was the most important, and 60 mana points were barely enough to meet the needs of one battle.
After leveling up, Rhodes could choose to upgrade his hero skill from Basic Earth Magic to Intermediate, or learn Basic First Aid.
With almost no hesitation, Rhodes chose Intermediate Earth Magic; both Earth Magic and Magic Divine Arrow's power increased, and now a single Magic Divine Arrow dealt up to 50 damage.
However, it was a pity that this battle did not result in an increase in Skeleton Soldier for Rhodes; these Faceless Ones and Shadow Creatures did not have a true physical body, they were all pure energy beings, similar to Elementals, and thus could not be converted into Skeleton Soldier.
In addition to skill upgrades, Rhodes' Eagle Eye also showed its power, learning two Shadow Magic spells: Shadow Bolt and Psychic Scream.
Both of these skills were considered low-level Shadow Spells; one consumed 0.1 mana, and the other consumed 0.2 mana, so their mana consumption was not very high.
These two spells were quite practical; Shadow Bolt's damage was not weak and quite insidious, while Psychic Scream belonged to mental attacks.
When they entered this tomb, those Shadow Creatures and Faceless Ones had been constantly casting such attacks on them.
Unfortunately, these two Shadow Spells could not be used easily! Currently, there were no Shadow Priests openly in the Alliance, and it would be hard to explain if he used them.
Besides that, Rhodes also received three additional random outdoor resources, which were rewards for defeating the three Faceless Ones sent by the Old Gods.
For the first reward, Rhodes received 500 units of gold, which was the least valuable item, equivalent to picking up some resources in the wild, and it was the most useless gold unit.
For the second reward, Rhodes received 5 units of wood as a reward; the first two rewards left Rhodes a bit speechless, "Damn it, give me something that can increase hero attributes!"
He wondered if there would be a wild monster reward in the future, allowing him to defeat a squad of wild monsters.
For the third reward, Rhodes received a magic scroll, a special item in the heroes of might and magic world.
As long as you possess a magic scroll and place it in your miscellaneous items, you can learn the magic written on it; even if it's a level 3, 4, or 5 magic spell, and you don't have the corresponding Wisdom Spell, the magic scroll can still allow you to use these spells.
Moreover, it will benefit from the hero's magic power, treasures, or strength bonuses.
This magic scroll was very valuable; it recorded a level 5 magic spell.
The moment he saw this level 5 magic spell, Rhodes couldn't deny he was tempted; level 5 magic spells were the strongest magic spells in heroes of might and magic, and even if a city's magic guild was upgraded to the highest level, it could only produce one level 5 magic spell.
Spells like Implosion, Magic Mirror, Fly, Dimension Door, and Town Portal, all these practical spells were level 5.
However, the level 5 magic spell recorded on this magic scroll made Rhodes slightly disappointed; it wasn't one of the aforementioned overpowered level 5 magic spells, but rather Summon Elementals.
The four elemental magic types could summon four kinds of Elementals: Air, Water, Earth, and Fire.
What he received was a summoning spell that could summon Fire Elemental, consuming 25 mana to summon Fire Elemental equal to Strength × 2 in number to join the battle.
With Basic Fire Magic, mana cost drops to 20; with Intermediate Fire Magic, 20 mana summons Fire Elemental equal to Strength × 3 in number to join the battle.
With Advanced Fire Magic, 20 mana summons Fire Elemental equal to Strength × 4 in number to join the battle.
These Fire Elemental could exist for 24 hours; they would dissipate after the battle and could not be permanently retained.
How should he put it? This skill was completely useless for the current Rhodes, the kind that was tasteless to eat but a pity to discard.
Currently, his Strength was 3; without Fire Magic bonuses, consuming twenty-five mana points could summon six Fire Elemental.
Fire Elemental had 35 health, 10 attack, 8 defense, and a pitiful 6 speed.
Summoning 6 Fire Elemental in a battle was not cost-effective; it would be more powerful to cast six Magic Divine Arrows instead.
"What's wrong? Is something on your mind, Rhodes?" Jaina noticed that Rhodes' expression was a bit off and quickly asked.
Rhodes looked at Jaina, and a new idea immediately formed in his mind.
This spell would cost 25 mana, and his mana was quite precious, so he thought he would let Jaina try it out to see the effect.
Also, he could test whether creatures from Azeroth could cast hero magic through a magic scroll, and see how many Fire Elemental Jaina could summon.
"Jaina, the great Guardian just gave me a magical item."
"The Guardian just contacted you! And bestowed a magical item upon you! I didn't feel the Guardian's presence at all?" Jaina looked shocked.
Could it be that the Titan Keeper had been watching them all along?
"Yes! He gave me a magical magic scroll; as long as you carry this magic scroll, you can cast the magic recorded on it, completely without needing to learn it," Rhodes simply explained the effect of his magic scroll.
"That amazing?" Jaina looked surprised.
"Yes! But you know my magic power is a bit low, so I want you to try the effect of this magic," Rhodes said.
"Really? Thank you, Rhodes, I'd be delighted." Jaina looked excited.
She was really looking forward to Titan magic.
Rhodes nodded, took out a wide, earthy-yellow magic scroll, about half a person's height, from his system space, and handed it to Jaina.
