Chapter 4: The Sealing of the Devil's Day
In the night, when everything was silent, several voices and shadows quietly came to the door of Ankagina's house, listened attentively, and there was no movement in the house.
Several pairs of eyes looked at each other in the darkness, and one of them stepped forward, pulled out a wire and flicked it a few times, and then opened the deadbolt.
"This is also a scavenger? I'm not alert at all! They sneered in their hearts, and it seemed that the task could be easily completed.
The room was dark, and a few mermaids rushed in, and after walking a few steps, suddenly, the door creaked and closed quickly, and they were startled, and looked back, a tall, hazy figure was standing behind everyone. "Who!" In their fright, the figure came in one step, his fist struck out again and again, hitting the ground a few times, and the three people standing behind him fell to the ground screaming in pain, and one person hurriedly turned on the fire fold, but saw Zhang Yang standing in front of him with a cold face, his tall body was full of oppressive force, and the rest of the people fell to the ground.
"Vulnerable!" Zhang Yang sneered and stretched out his hand, picked up the man's collar, and lifted him up with one hand, the man looked at Zhang Yang's thigh-thick arm, and then remembered that the mission target has the blood of a barbarian, and he is a scavenger walking on the verge of death, with this strength, it seems very normal, for a while, he regretted this task.
"Paul called you?" Zhang Yang asked, his expression full of affirmation.
The man on the ground howled in pain, as if he had broken a bone, and the man couldn't help but shudder when he looked at it, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "No, it's not. ”
"Oh?" Zhang Yang stared at him with a smile, his gaze was like substance, as if he wanted to penetrate the bottom of his heart, he gritted his teeth and thought about it, but still said: "No! "It is a camp taboo for heroes to oppress mortals, how dare he tell the truth and bring out Paul's affairs.
Zhang Yang shook his hand casually, knocked him to the ground, and with a bang, his bones all over his body seemed to fall apart.
"Get out!"
The crowd rolled and crawled and rushed out in embarrassment.
"Brother Yang." The cries of pain woke Ankagina awake, and she walked out in her robe, her snow-white face showing some worry in the light.
Zhang Yang waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's okay, go to sleep, the heroes in the camp don't dare to do it, these ruffians and hooligans are more or less rubbish, don't worry." ”
"But we haven't woken up after all, and we have a hard ...... with him"
"I'm going to break into the Demon Tower, this time, I'm going to wake up!" Zhang Yang said.
"Sealing the Demon Tower? That's too dangerous!! Don't go, Brother Yang! Ankagina exclaimed, breaking into the Demon Tower is another way to awaken, it is very dangerous, every year on the Demon Sealing Festival, people can awaken through the awakening ceremony, but this is only applicable to those with strong bloodlines, these people, either within the three descendants of the hero, or the atavistic phenomenon has occurred, the bloodline is much stronger than ordinary people to awaken, but there are more and more people with thin bloodlines like Zhang Yang, and it is becoming more and more difficult to awaken, in view of this, the great masters of the Heradim Alchemy Association have developed the Demon Sealing Tower, and mortals have broken through the Demon Tower, After being tempered by life and death, you can reach the top, and you can get many times the infusion of the energy of the awakening ceremony, and you can only awaken if you can withstand it. However, every layer of the Sealed Demon Tower, there is a powerful monster, it is difficult for mortals to break through, every year the people who break into the tower, 90% will fail, only 10% of the people can reach the top, among them, 90% of the people, unable to withstand the energy, explode and die.
"I have made up my mind, if I can't wake up, what's the point of living in this life!" Zhang Yang said firmly, looking at Ankajina's little face, he couldn't help but say warmly, "Don't worry, Ankajina, how many monsters in the blood wasteland have failed to kill me, let alone a demon sealing tower." I'm going to get through it. ”
Ankagina saw Zhang Yang's firmness, and the worry in her eyes was unabated, but she said obediently: "Brother Yang, then you must be careful." ”
"Okay, go to bed, they shouldn't dare to come again tonight."
The two dispersed and went back to their rooms to sleep peacefully, but those people ran away in embarrassment and ran for more than ten minutes before they gasped and stopped.
"Oh, sir, I can't do it! My hands are broken, and it hurts when I run, and I can't run anymore. ”
"Who isn't! That kid started too fast, I didn't even react, I was stunned, you look at my head, is it broken? It's like being hit with a hammer. ”
"That arm, thicker than my thighs, fell so hard that I fell apart."
"Boss, I knew that this Zhang Yang was so powerful, I really shouldn't have taken this task."
"What's the use of talking about this now! Shhh Hey, Master Paul can crush us to death with one finger, and who would dare not come if we were asked to beat us up! ”
"Didn't they all say that Zhang Yang was a waste, and he didn't succeed in awakening twice before he became a waste picker, why is he so powerful?"
"Hell knows, hey, don't talk about it, boss, how are we going to explain it to Paul when we get back?"
"There's no way, I can only say that I can't beat it, I won't take this task anymore, these scavengers, one by one, dare to go to the bloody wasteland to wander, you can't mess with it!"
The next day, they secretly reported to Paul, who looked at them with disdain, but did not punish them, but gave them some reward to monitor Zhang Yang's movements, and they thought about it, and it seemed that there was no danger, so they took it.
When they came to the vicinity of Ankagina's house, they found that Zhang Yang and Ankagina were missing, and they inquired around, only to find out that when they got up early in the morning, Ankagina went to the monastery to help, and Zhang Yang went to the central district. Ankagina is a nun of the Blind Daughter's Convent, and she sings, recites, and prays every day, which is normal, and it is strange that Zhang Yang, a mortal, could go to the central district? It was the administrative center of Camp Rogue and was not allowed to be entered by ordinary mortals.
While they sent someone to report back to Paul, they rushed to the central district, and several people ran around, looking for more than half an hour, and finally found Zhang Yang at a registration point. It was a few hundreds of meters long, and there were six or seven hundred people in a long line, all of them capable and fierce, with murderous faces.
Several people rushed forward, the registration point is located in front of the administrative building next to the teleportation array, behind a long stone table, there are several staff members, behind them, there is a big character "Demon Hero", in front of them is a nameplate, each of which reads "Registration Office", "Audit Office", "Signing Office", registration office, audit office review qualifications, including age, physical condition, family situation, etc., the signing office signs a life and death contract, the contract is completed, and life and death on the magic tower are at your own risk! Zhang Yang is in the queue of the audit department.
Every year, there are thousands of people in the Rogge camp to break into the Sealed Demon Tower, in this world where monsters are rampant, there are no awakened mortals, and the day is precarious, it is better to fight and break into the Sealed Demon Tower, even if the odds are slim, it is better than this hopeless life.
In case Zhang Yang's awakening succeeded, they couldn't afford to provoke them, so they discussed it and decided to repay Paul.
"Break into the Demon Tower?" Paul sneered, "That's just a lot of hands-free!" There are thousands of people who break into the tower every year, but few succeed, if he dies in the tower, it would be better! ”
"But Paul, what if he awakens?"
Paul sneered and said, "You continue to star, don't worry, with me, he can't wake up!" "The Clay family, as the big family of the Rogge camp, has already extended its tentacles into the fifth district of the camp, and the central area is their core, so it is too easy to do something.
"I really want to see what kind of expression you have when you meet the boss monster!" As he thought so, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.
The time was very fast, and it was the seventh day of the seventh month of July, and the Sealing Demon Festival of the city-wide carnival had arrived.
As usual, after the heads of the Seven Inheritance Guilds, the head of the Chamber of Commerce, Varef, the commander of the barracks, and others, Akara, the senior monk of the Blind Sisters Seminary, made a concluding speech, saying that she was hundreds of years old, and that the power of time and the power of the heart had given her the ability to see through people's hearts.
"On the dark day of this world, countless heroes sacrificed their lives and forgot to die, and used the light of life to fight ......against the shadows of hell," Akara began to look back at history, recalling the suffering of humanity in the Diablo world and the heroes who emerged, his voice was full of reverence and remembrance, and then he changed his words and said, "The wilderness is full of evil, the minions of hell are all over the Three Realms, and the greed for power, power, and knowledge may lead you to destruction, History has seen too many heroes who have seduced brave hearts because of ambition, recklessly stepped into danger because of greed, and suffered from hell and fate in their bodies...... You should be careful in exploring and banishing the darkness on your way! ……”
Zhang Yang listened with interest, around him, crowded with people, everywhere there was a surge of people, hundreds of thousands of people gathered in the central district, but quietly listened to Akara, Ankagina locked in his arms, protected by him, and looked at Brother Akara's generous speech with a look of adoration.
Monk Akara was dressed in a black robe, covering her entire body, like an Arab in the desert, revealing only a pair of blind eyes, her voice was not loud, but it could reach everyone's ears, and she had a quiet and peaceful power.
She stood on a wooden platform six or seven meters high, and behind her was a huge seven-story stone tower, each with dozens of rooms, in which all kinds of monsters were imprisoned, but at this time, one by one they could not speak, as if they had been suppressed. On her side, there was a huge magic array dozens of meters wide, the circular magic circle was engraved with the pattern of a six-pointed star, and on each corner of the pattern, in a mysterious order, countless gems were arranged, and each one was given to the heroes, which could greatly increase their strength! This is the awakening circle, with magic and gem energy as the core, it can stimulate the blood of ten people at a time, and the villages and towns under the jurisdiction of the Rogge camp have tens of thousands of people coming to awaken every year, and it takes a month before and after to complete all the activations.
The seven-story stone tower is the Demon Sealing Tower! Finally, Brother Akara said, "Rise up! Open the tower! In an instant, the Awakening Array shone brightly, and the bottom of the Sealing Demon Stone Tower squeaked, opening the gate, and the crowd surged, diverging towards the Awakening Array and the Sealing Stone Tower.
"Legacy of Heroes?!! Zhang raised his eyebrows and strode over, "I'm here!" ”
