Chapter 52: Terrible Speculation
As he saw the overcast sky gradually brighten up, Akara knew that Liszt had succeeded. Soon after, the head of a hideous zombie hanging from the wooden stick in Liszt's hand confirmed her guess.
Looking at the awe-inspiring and inviolable Liszt, the guards were shocked. They also heard that Liszt was going to destroy the demons in the evil cave, but the pessimistic Rogers didn't have any confidence in this at all, even after knowing that Liszt was the main force to seal the demon god, they didn't think that Liszt could succeed. However, within a few hours, the sudden change in the sky and the spoils of war in Liszt's hands clearly told them that Liszt had succeeded. Despite their disbelief, the Rogers struggled to digest the information, and looked at Liszt's gaze and became in awe.
"I knew you, Warrior, you weren't going to let us down." Akara greeted him with a smile and said happily to Liszt, "I didn't expect you to succeed so quickly and surprise us all!" ”
"It's nothing, Ms. Akara, the real difficulties are yet to come." Liszt didn't care about the admiring gazes around him and Acala's admiration, in his opinion, the so-called powerful corpse "fire" was nothing more than a piece of garbage that needed a little force to solve, and compared to Diablo, this battle was not even a warm-up.
"Alright, go to my tent and tell me what happened," Akara said excitedly, "I'm so curious that such a powerful demon has been dealt with by you!" By the way, Kashya, she took the initiative to help you, and apologized to you, I wonder how the two of you get along? Akara looked at the taciturn Kasha behind Liszt and felt that something was not quite right.
"It's nothing, I don't have that much conflict with her, after all, I don't know her well," Liszt said with a sentence that brought these trivial matters in his eyes, he didn't care about Kasha's thoughts, "It just so happens that I have a lot of questions for you, Lady Akara, let's go in and talk." With that, Liszt went into the tent first.
Akara pulled aside Kashya, who was burying his head like an ostrich, and asked, "What's wrong Kasha?" Didn't you succeed? Why do you look sullen? ”
Kasha replied in a low voice: "Success is success, but I didn't contribute anything, but dragged him back." He didn't accept my apology either, he didn't want to see me again at all. With that, Kasha's head was buried even deeper, completely losing her usual majestic appearance.
Seeing Kasha's appearance, Akara also sighed helplessly, and said: "You go and rest first, Kasha, don't go to your heart, you have to remember that you must quit the arrogance in your heart, and you must not be pretentious anymore." With that, Akara sighed again, turned and walked into the tent.
"I apologize to you on Kasya's behalf, Mr. Liszt." As soon as she entered the tent, Akara bowed to the seated Liszt, who had brought up Casya, and now she had made a mistake and blamed herself for her poor discipline.
Seeing Akara apologize like this, Liszt hurriedly stood up and helped the friar, who was already over half a hundred years old. "You don't have to, Lady Akara, I'm not a grudge, and I don't care about Kashya's previous offenses, but I don't want to repair anything with her, after all, I don't know her in the first place." Liszt shook his head and said to Akara.
"I know you're a generous man, but Kashya went too far this time. I grew up watching Kashya, and I know her best. She is a strong child, and she is not very convinced by anyone, even if it is the original blood crow, she always wants to challenge it. Akara said, his eyes shining with remembrance, "At the beginning, Kashya followed the blood crow to learn combat skills, and he has always been the most powerful of all Roggs. She was thinking about becoming stronger all the time, and after the attack of demons, she lost the blood crow that taught her, and Kasha worked even harder, she did not allow herself to be weaker than others, she wanted to protect everyone. She's a poor child, and I hope you don't take her offense too seriously. ”
Liszt waved his hand, signaling that he didn't care, and then said with a solemn expression: "Lady Akara, let's talk about business, destroying this zombie is only the first step, I need to know what happened here recently!" ”
Akara also knew that the matter was urgent now, and hurriedly introduced it to Liszt in detail:
"This time it was very sudden, but it seemed to have some kind of foreshadowing. A few days ago, there was a wanderer with a long sword and a black robe who passed by the camp next to the monastery at that time, he exuded an ominous aura, and the blood crow looked at him from a distance, saying that he was very much like your comrade-in-arms, Aidan, but we didn't confirm his identity, he looked too strange.
From the moment the dark wanderer passed, there were no signs of demons near the camp, not many at first, but then the demons began to crawl out of the underground of the monastery and kill innocent nuns. Later, the blood crow and her sisters who counterattacked the monastery were sacrificed, but it also brought an even more terrible news - the demon king of hell, Andariel, the queen of pain, appeared, she hid under the monastery, her demonic minions were wreaking havoc everywhere, and many dead people and beasts, infected by the terrible magic, turned into new demons. ”
"This is impossible, it is impossible for the Hell Demon King to come directly to the human world, and it is not possible for humans to summon demons at the level of the Demon King." Liszt frowned, Andariel's appearance was very inexplicable, as far as he got from Kane, whether it was an angel or a demon, if they want to come to the world completely, they need the support of an extremely large force, which is why only the three demon gods entered the human world - the three demon gods were collectively betrayed by the four demon kings two hundred years ago, although the three demon gods relied on their own powerful strength to destroy the strongest third army in hell, but in the end they were still defeated by the army of the king of sin Azmodan and the king of lies, Bilier, after being destroyed in the flesh, banished the soul to the world. Therefore, in order to obtain a truly powerful body, the demon god must possess the human body, just like Diablo occupied Aidan's younger brother, Eberlecht, and the more powerful the human being, the more powerful the demon god can gain great power.
"Could it be Aidan ?!" Liszt suddenly thought, the dark wanderer mentioned by Akara, could it be that the seal has been lifted? But how is that possible? How could it be so fast!
Liszt remembered all kinds of things wrong with Aidan, and felt more and more that maybe Diablo had affected Aidan's mind, and perhaps, he also controlled Aidan, so that he summoned Andariel, the demon king of hell, thinking of this, Liszt was anxious, he really wanted to ask Kane what was going on, but Kane was far away in Tristram.
"There's no way, we have to catch up with that dark wanderer, he's definitely going to free his brothers, Baal and Mephisto!" Liszt thought.
Liszt told Akara about his speculation, and Akara was shocked by these astonishing information, and it took a long time for Akara to come back to his senses, and Akara also said with a solemn expression: "We must stop the conspiracy of the Hell Demon God!" In this case, Mr. Lister, you are strong, you can first take some of the Rog soldiers to attack the Abbey, only by getting rid of the female demon can you open the road to Rugoin and Kurast in the East, and in addition, I ask some of the Rog soldiers to pick up Kane and your grandfather at once, we must get further information! ”
"Okay, that's it, but I don't need the help of the Rog soldiers, I'm still used to fighting alone." Liszt said that he agreed with Akara's plan, but he didn't think the scrappy rogers could help him with anything.
Akara looked at the insistent Liszt with some helplessness, and persuaded: "I know that you are very confident in your own strength, but there are too many demons along the way, and the help of one more person can also reduce a lot of your burden." Well, stationed at the outpost in the Icy Wasteland, another of our mighty warriors, Flavi, is a very calm and composed person who will surely help you, I promise! ”
Seeing Akara say this, Liszt is not good to refuse, but this is okay, when facing some weak demons, he doesn't have to make a move, Rogge's elite strength is still trustworthy, but when facing a strong enemy, Liszt still plans to come by himself, and that Rog named Flavi is still best to watch from the sidelines.
"So be it, without further ado, we must act now." Liszt said, ready to turn and leave.
"Wait, Mr. Liszt," Akara said with a wry smile to the hurried Liszt, "although the situation is urgent, it is better for you to be prepared for unknown dangers." To the west of Rog's camp, there is a blacksmith named Chassi who can help you repair your weapons or craft some equipment for you. Also, we've heard that Andariel is well-versed in the power of toxins, and you're definitely in need of some antidotes, and you can check out Varref, whose caravans often cross the Aranok Desert and carry a lot of antidotes with them all the time, which are very effective. Although it is unknown how effective the toxin is against the Queen of Pain, it doesn't hurt to carry it at all. ”
Liszt was also a little in a hurry, he had always been cautious, and he was a little reckless. After thanking Akara, Liszt returned to the tent that Akara had prepared for him, carefully considering what he needed to prepare and take care of along the way.
Liszt had a hunch that this time would definitely not be as simple as the last time he sealed Diablo, and it was very likely that he would have to face more than one Hell Demon King!
