Chapter 17: Saving Kane, Akara's History Lesson
Seeing that Akara was getting more and more excited, Dabao hurriedly said: "My lord, please rest assured, I will definitely stick to my heart, take it as my responsibility to protect mankind and fight against hell, and I will never go down the wrong path because of the temptation of power." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info But then again, what is the temptation of this power? ”
Akara replied, "The training that professionals receive can eliminate most temptations. It's a pity that on the skill tree we inherited, there are five beginner skills that can be learned by those who have just become professionals, and then at level ten, they can learn five second-order skills, and so on, until level sixty, they can learn five ultimate skills. Once you've learned the ultimate, you're ready to go to hell. ”
Akara paused for a moment, and then said, "There is a problem that has always plagued the pros, that is, when you have just broken through the full ten levels and learned new skills, your strength will increase significantly, and monsters are the weakest at this time. As your level increases, the strength of the monsters you have to face becomes stronger and stronger, while you can only improve low-level skills, and the closer you get to the integer level, the greater the difference between your strength and that of monsters. The ease of fighting a few monsters by one person in the early stage and the hardship of a few people teaming up to defeat a monster in the later stage form a strong psychological contrast. This is what we call a bottleneck, and it takes a lot of time to polish yourself to get through it. There are many people who are unwilling to waste time and are eager to find ways to strengthen themselves and break through bottlenecks, and they will lose themselves. Some squandered their skill points at the expense of their potential, and some directly became degenerate. However, you can't feel the bottleneck for more than a decade, and there are law enforcement teams in Camp Rog to clean up the degenerate, so you don't need to be afraid for the time being. ”
Dabao thought for a moment and wondered: "Lord Akara, the more you talk about me, the more scared I become, how do I feel that you are scaring me?" ”
Akara let out a long sigh and said, "After all, you are the person I value, I am afraid that you will make the wrong choice, you just need to remember that being a person and doing things is not about being smarter and faster, but learning to be stupid and slow." You're still very young, and you haven't experienced a lot of things, so it's hard for you to understand what I'm saying, and I think even if you can understand it, you won't believe it, and even if you believe it, you won't do what I say, and even if you do, you won't do it willingly. I only hope that you can imprint this sentence in your mind, and when you encounter a bottleneck, are frustrated, and feel lost in your heart, this sentence will help you get out of the predicament. ”
"I've been a fool for decades, this is my old job!" Dabao found that this matter was simple for him, and immediately became happy, and his mind also thought carefully: "I said, my lord, since you think I can become a big hero, then do you want to give me a few pieces of excellent equipment for the healthy growth of big heroes." ”
Seeing Dabao's scoundrel appearance, Akara couldn't help but smile: "There is no top-quality equipment, but there is a test." My old friend Kane, the master of space magic, has been missing for a long time, and I can feel that he is still alive, but I just can't find him. Now I leave the search for Kane to you. If you're a superhero, you'll be lucky enough to get the job done. ”
"What! Let me sell my life, I admit it. After talking for a long time, first let me serve the people wholeheartedly, and then let me learn to be a fool, and the final result was that I was asked to complete the task with illusory luck, and Mao didn't give it. Akara, you're not here to play me, are you? Dabao was deflated again.
Akara also seemed embarrassed, so he said, "Since the knot in my heart has been untied, you can give me the core of the corpse's fire, and I will help you purify it." ”
Dabao weakly handed the kernel to Akara, only to see Akara take the kernel and put it into a small box of dark gold. The box flashed with a burst of dark gold under Akara's control, and Akara opened it. A cold aura emanated first, and then Akara rushed to the box and took out the transparent core, handed it to Dabao and said, "You can absorb it." This corpse was so powerful that it decomposed eight vials of light healing potions and eight vials of light mana. ”
Dabao also watched Akara hand him the potion, only to see Akara directly put the potion, and said: "This is the cost of purification, and your heart knot can be considered untied, so let's talk about Kane specifically." ”
Dabao looked at Akara without tears, and Akara's image completely collapsed in his heart.
As if he had just completed a business, Akara returned to his role as the leader of Camp Rog and introduced Kane's situation to Dabao: "Kane is the only surviving descendant of ancient Hradim, and he is very knowledgeable about them. He is ready to defuse our looming crisis. This small box is an imitation of the Heradic Cube, with which we can make and synthesize medicines, and I heard that the real Heradic Cube Face equipment can be synthesized. He also invented the Return Scroll and the Identification Scroll, which greatly facilitated our battles. The main thing is that he is also a master of space magic, and he can build and repair teleportation stations. So he made a great contribution to the fight against hell for us humans and deserves the respect of all of us. You feel yourself the glory and greatness of this task. ”
"Resolutely complete the task." Dabao agreed in a low voice, but thought in his heart: "I said a lot of words that I didn't understand, even if I untied my heart knot?" I don't know if it's true or not, just if what she says is true, Kane can't help it, but these characters are not the same as in the game at all, and if you rescue them, you have to always bring the old man by your side, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. ”
"Any clues?" Dabao, who accepted the task, asked professional questions.
"That's a long way to go, and we have to start with the battle of Doom." Akara has turned on the Tang Seng mode again.
Dabao looked at Akara dumbfounded: "This thing has just taken a moral and ideological class, but it is not enjoyable, but it is another history lesson!" I'm not a reader and don't need a background. ”
Akara didn't care, and said to the great treasure: "After the battle of the destruction of the world, the heavens were destroyed, and the wreckage of the heavens was divided into three pieces. The sacred mountain of Mt. Arret, which carried most of the power of Heaven and severely damaged the Three Demon Kings of Hell, smashed into Hell and sealed Baal, the Lord of Destruction, who had fled to the deepest part of Hell in the Hall of the World Stone. Later, Mount Arret and Hell slowly merged, miraculously creating an environment where ordinary humans could live, but the environment was too harsh for only the barbarians to survive, and they established Harogas there to serve the professionals who fought in Hell. The other piece is stuck in the passage between hell and the human world, blocking Mephisto, the hated king who has not come to escape back to hell, in the human world, although Mephisto wants to pass through the only remaining gap, but this gap is too small to accommodate normal human-sized creatures to enter, it cannot pass through, so it is defeated by human heroes and sealed there. It's a pity that humans can't completely destroy it, but its power has been weakened so much that it has become a touchstone for human heroes to enter hell, which is really sad. And the side of hell has been built into a fortress of demons by humans, and has become an outpost for humans to fight back against hell. The last piece of wreckage flew here, and Akara pointed to the sky, and said, "It is the one that blocks the sun above us and darkens Camp Rogge." ”
"What does that have to do with Kane's disappearance?" Dabao asked.
"The base camp of the Heradic clan is the ancient city of Curast, where Mephisto is now sealed, and the Heradic clan suffered heavy losses in the First World War, and most of the surviving councillors were also eroded by the dark forces and turned into monsters, entrenched in Trivank. The leader of Heradic, the mage Tarasia, united the six heroes and with the help of the Angel Cloth, sacrificed himself to seal Diablo, the Lord of Fear, in the Sanctuary of Chaos. Since then, the Hradic clan has helped humans build many teleportation stations in Hell, which is their last glory, and since then the glory of Heradic has been lost in the long river of history, and Kane is the only Heradic descendant I know. Akara replied.
Dabao asked again: "These are all history, could it be that this Kane still wants to restore the glory of his ancestors by himself, so he is missing?" ”
"Kane is not Tarasya, how can he have such great ambitions! He was only suspicious of Heaven's destruction of itself to help humanity, after all, there is no love and no hate in this world. The seven heroes of the human race died, and the angel Yijun went to destroy the evil sword and Shadow Fang. Under the pretext of concentrating all the power of Heaven, Archangel Tyrell concentrated his devout followers on earth in the Cathedral of Tristram, and moved Tristram into Heaven, and when Heaven was destroyed, Tyrell did not appear at all. All this made Kane doubt the purpose of heaven, and he felt that the answer was in Trist Cathedral. Tristram's teleportation station was built by the Hradiks, and although it was broken, Kane always felt that he could rebuild an unstable portal and enter it. Then Akara took a breath and said again: "He met me one last time, saying that he was going to visit a monument in the Black Wasteland, and maybe there would be a way to do it, and he never came back since. ”
"Then how can you be sure he's not dead? Kane has been missing for a long time. Dabao knew that Kane was still waiting for him to go, and he would definitely not die, but he was still interested in how to know that Kane was not dead, so he asked knowingly.
"Kane's soul breath on this Heradic replica has not disappeared, and he has the ability to summon the heavenly creature Mana from the air, he doesn't need food and water to sustain his life, and he still has a long lifespan." Akara explained.
"I see! In this case, I need to go to the black wasteland to find clues, but the black wasteland is so big, I can't always look anywhere, I still have to level up, I need to kill higher-level monsters, is there no other clue? Dabao asked again.
"There's one more thing I've almost forgotten." Akara suddenly thought of some key information and screamed.
