Chapter 62: The Message of Andariel

Next, Liszt's entourage moved very smoothly, thanks to the fact that most of Kane's books were kept in the basement, only some less important historical books were destroyed by the fire, and most of the precious solitary books were preserved intact.

What made Liszt and the others strange was that when they teleported to Tristram, who was almost burned to ashes by the fire, through the magic array, they did not see any trace of the residents such as the sheep-headed man, the sunken demon, and the resurrected blacksmith mentioned by Kane and Austin, the entire ruins were empty, black embers were floating in the air, the charred wood that had not been completely extinguished still crackled from time to time, and the desolate black earth was full of the coagulated blood of innocent residents, but there were no living creatures, not even the corpses of residents.

Liszt and the others didn't have time to think about what was wrong, and hurriedly returned to the stone wilderness before the portal disappeared. The demon gods of hell, Diablo, are running out of time to keep them.

Liszt wanted to go alone, because there were two old men in the team, as well as young Vera, so the speed of the team was not slow, but it was not fast at all. The arrow wound on Flavi's shoulder did not heal, and Flavi, who could not shoot arrows, could not help Liszt.

Looking at Liszt, who was a little anxious and wanted to act alone, Kane still stepped forward to stop him and said, "Liszt, I know you are in a hurry, and there is indeed not much time left for us now." But if you rush over alone, it won't help! ”

Kane cleared his throat, looked at Liszt, who looked puzzled and wanted to argue, and said, "I know that you are strong, but you can't make the slightest mistake in the face of the Demon King of Hell. Andariel was summoned by Diablo, and may even retain eighty or ninety percent of his strength, which is not too much inferior to Diablo. And as far as I know, Andariel has her own essence, unlike Diablo, where only the soul was banished to the world, she is far more dangerous than you think! ”

Looking at Liszt, who was clenched with his fists clenched and looked a little unwilling, Kane comforted: "Don't worry, kid, Diablo is not so easy to find where Barr is." When Baal was sealed, the mages of Hradim built many deceptive tombs, but only the tomb of the archmage Talasha really imprisoned Baal, the Lord of Destruction. When we get to Lugoin, we can ask Zognam there, he's a well-informed mage who knows the clues to the tombs of Talasya, and maybe we'll be one step ahead of the unsuspecting Diablo! ”

Liszt also knew that he didn't know anything about Andariel. And this time, there was no Zur to help him unleash that magical curse. Although Liszt has been able to summon the power of the shadow from the abyss through the long-term use of the shadow, it can only make up for the consumption of the armor on his body, and as for breaking the blockade of the power in his body by the World Stone, even if he doesn't care about the danger of this behavior, it is not something that the shadow can do.

Liszt was also decisive, and after thinking clearly about what could not be done, he immediately asked Kane for information about Andariel.

Kane sorted out the thoughts in his mind, and then introduced, "Andariel, it is said that she is the only female demon king in hell, she is extremely good at poison spells, but her most feared thing is her evil spirit magic. ”

"Although she doesn't have as many methods of torturing people as Duriel, the Lord of Pain, no demon king or demon god can reach her level when it comes to torturing people's spirits. Therefore, Liszt, the most important thing you need to pay attention to is that you must not listen to the whispers of the devil in your ear, and the most determined person may also be bewitched by the devil and become a puppet of the devil. ”

"What I don't understand is that more than 200 years ago, the Four Great Demon Kings betrayed the three demon gods, destroyed their bodies with their own hands, and banished their souls to the human world. But now it seems that Andariel has instead begun to help Diablo, whom she once betrayed, and this abnormal thing makes me think that maybe all this is just a conspiracy of demons. ”

"In short, in the face of this queen of pain, Liszt, you must not think that she is easier to deal with than Diablo. Maybe her combat power is not as good as Diablo, but most people don't even have the opportunity to comprehend her toxin power. ”

When Liszt heard Kane's introduction, he always felt a little familiar, he carefully flipped through his memories in his mind, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Good at toxins!" I see, it's the enemy my father once faced! ”

Liszt hurriedly took Yang's diary out of his chest and carefully read the content about the battle that he had not looked at in detail at the time, and Kane also poked his head curiously, he also wanted to know the description of a great human who had fought with the Demon King.

"At first, we didn't see a single demon in this filthy land full of poison and bones. This is completely different from the place we passed before, we thought that the original hell was not completely occupied by demons, maybe there were also places like mountains and deserts in the world, which were not suitable for demons to live. ”

"But it didn't take long for us to realize that we were very wrong. Covaan is very attentive and he keeps an eye on his surroundings. We walked down a winding and corrupt path, but after only a few steps, Covaan was the first to realize that we were standing still! ”

"We are no strangers to this kind of illusion, and we are familiar with most of the methods used to dispel illusions, but to our surprise, none of them worked! If it weren't for the fact that most of Isadian religion has proven to be very effective, we would even think that Isadian is lying to us. ”

"We stopped on the trail and stopped needlessly exerting precious energy. But as we sat and thought and rested, we began to hallucinate in front of our eyes and heard unknown whispers in our ears. ”

"I wasn't very skilled at balancing discipline and hatred, so I could barely control my confusion and fear, as opposed to Kovaan, who was always consciousβ€”I saw my dead mother and sister looking at me hatefully from the ruins of the house, accusing me of not saving them. I even heard you, Nataya, my dear, I heard your dying-sounding wails and screams of pain, I swore I had never heard such a crushing voice in my life, I tried to tell myself that it was all a demonic conspiracy, that it was false, but my heart could not help but begin to believe in these hallucinations. I was on the verge of breaking down, and in the face of this demon, I confess, for the first time I felt the urge to give up resistance. ”

"Fortunately, Kovaan, who was on the side, was the first to get rid of the demon's illusion and used the power of darkness to forcibly wake me up. I'm free from illusion, but I still haven't asked for the nightmare I just had. Thanks to Covaan, I was dragged away from that horrible place. ”

"Although we later defeated the devil's tricks, I don't think I'll ever forget that feeling, that heart-rending and desperate feeling!"
