Chapter 28: The Legend of the Demon God
Kane was taken aback by the sudden excitement of Liszt. Hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Hey, young man, I'm just kidding you, there are so many legends about demons, but who has really seen it?" Those legends don't mean much. ”
"Uncle Kane, do you mean that the monastery also has a legend of demons? Can you tell me about it? Liszt turned around and said earnestly.
"Hey, I'm just specialized in some myths and legends, but you see, most of my life has passed, and I don't believe that what I'm studying makes sense anymore. But anyway, I don't have anything to do, so if you want to hear it, come with me. Kane shook his head helplessly, he had never told anyone about the legends of demons and angels, and only a child like Liszt would be interested in them.
Liszt refused to let go of any possibility. He knew that there were demons in this world, and even the so-called demon kings, and if this monastery had the shadow of demons, then the corruption of Kurast would not be difficult to understand. Liszt thought.
Liszt followed Kane into a nearby hut, which, as Kane had said, was filled with piles of old books, and Liszt even saw that some of the books were spread out with all kinds of evil demons painted on them.
"I've been fighting against these old books all my life, haha, you young people must be hard to understand, right?" Kane looked at the curious Liszt and said with a smile.
"You are such a person who can stand loneliness. What exactly are you researching? Liszt asked curiously.
"I'm studying stories of demons and angels, as well as prophecies about the end of the world that have been handed down from ancient times! How's it going, have you ever been scared? According to the prophecy, the end of the world is coming! Kane changed his voice to a low voice, trying to scare the different lad.
However, to his disappointment, Liszt was not moved at all, but continued: "Actually, I believe in the existence of demons, and for some reason, I also know something about demons. ”
"Oh? Have you really seen a demon? Kane's eyes lit up, "Tell me what they look like?" And what about angels? ”
"No, I haven't seen demons, but my friends have seen and even hunted them." Liszt pursed his lips, he missed his father a little.
"Do you believe that? I've even screwed Azmodan's head off and kicked it as a ball! Kane said dismissively, "Oh yes, Azmodan, does that friend of yours know who he is?" ”
"The Lord of Sin? I remember the title, right? Liszt recalled that the first powerful enemy their father encountered in Hell was a great demon king.
"Huh? You, do you really know? How is it possible, no one should know, this, isn't this just some deception, how can it be ......" Kane never expected that Liszt really knew the King of Sin. You know, in the human world, there may be stories of Diablo, the king of fear, or there may be people who claim to have seen Mephisto, the king of hatred, or Baal, the king of destruction. However, this is because these three demon gods may have appeared in the human world, or rather, people have only made up legends about the three demon gods. But Azmodan is different, there is no information about him being there, so even ancient legends rarely mention the Lord of Sin, so that no one has ever heard of him. Unless, are demons all real? But how is this possible? Kane couldn't believe it.
Liszt knew that although Kane had been studying the legends of demons, after all, he had never seen real demons, and he only regarded those legends as myths.
"Uncle Kane, I'll tell you the truth, that friend of mine, he's been to hell." Liszt calmly uttered something that felt absurd, "He even fought with the Lord of Sin, and of course, he escaped by chance. ”
"Son, I would love to believe you, because I can see that you are not lying to me, but I can't believe what you say." Kane said with a wry smile. "Maybe you don't know, if there are really demons in the world, then it is impossible for anyone to reach hell, the world and hell are far apart, and only the legendary demon king can open the passage between the two."
But for Archmage Isad, who is proficient in space magic and has created the "Law Pupil", this is not difficult, he must be proficient in the magic of summoning demons, and it must not be difficult to communicate with hell.
"Uncle Kane, I'm curious about the legends of demons, can you tell me?" Liszt didn't want to argue anymore, as soon as Kane saw the demon, he understood everything.
"Hey, okay." Kane sighed and shook his head.
"Legend has it that hell and heaven fought an endless battle for eternity long before the formation of the human world. Although they have won and lost against each other, none of them have actually won a real victory. Later, a group of angels and demons who were disgusted with the eternal war secretly stole the World Stone from the Chaos Fortress and used its power to create a shelter in which they wanted to recuperate, and this refuge was the human world. ”
Later, the angel and the demon fell in love and gave birth to offspring—humans. Legend has it that the first humans possessed power beyond demons and angels, but no one knows whether this is true or not. When Liszt heard this, he remembered the ancient power that Grandpa Austin said, and then thought of his uncontrolled display of power in the cave before, and couldn't help but be confused, do I have the power of the ancients? But why can't I play anymore after that?
"I don't know much about ancient times, but I know more about some stories from more than 200 years ago." Kane smiled and looked at the confused Liszt, who he thought couldn't understand anything.
"Legend has it that there are three demon gods and four demon kings in Hell, and the three demon gods are Diablo, the youngest Lord of Fear, Baal, the Lord of Destruction, and Mephisto, the oldest and most sinister and cunning King of Hatred. The three demon gods are the most powerful, and they are in charge of everything in hell. The power of the Four Demon Kings is slightly weaker, they are Azmodan, the Lord of Sin, Biller, the Lord of Lies, Duriel, the King of Torment, and Andariel, the Queen of Pain, the only female Demon King. More than two hundred years ago, the four demon kings were dissatisfied with the rule of the three demon gods and plotted to exile the three demon gods, and later the three demon gods were defeated, and the betrayed demon kings were banished to the shelter, our world. Seeing the countless destructions, intrigues, and fears that the raging demon gods have brought with them, Tyrell, the righteous archangel of heaven, has formed an organization called Hradim, who has recruited many powerful human mages and given them soul stones, which are used to seal the three demon gods. Because the three demon gods came to the human world and could not obtain the replenishment of the power of hell, they became much weaker, and Mephisto and Baal were successfully sealed. And my ancestor, Jared Kane, led Hradim and finally sealed Diablo. Legend has it that the monastery where Diablo was sealed was sealed. ”
