Chapter 168: Diablo III.13
"Uhhh
The black panther's mechanical armarmor spewed out white gas, instantly increasing the power of his punch, and smashed directly towards the man in black. If you change to a big, slow target like the Demon Overseer, this punch will definitely blast the target away.
Butβ
The opponent was a small and fast target like the man in black, and he saw the opponent's figure flash, flashing directly to the opponent's side, and the black dagger stabbed towards the mechanical arm armor.
"Qiangβ"
The metal collided, and sparks flew everywhere, but the blow did not break or break through the gauntlets. The man in black obviously didn't expect this result, and hurriedly took a few steps back, just as he ran into Gu Cheng, who was suddenly attacking, and the blade of the gun and the black dagger made a piercing grinding sound.
On the other side, Zhao Shanhe, who rushed to the front, also noticed that Gu Cheng and the black panther were attacked, and was about to turn around towards Gu Cheng, but heard Gu Cheng shouting at him: "Brother Zhao, leave it to me here, you keep an eye on the fat tiger's dead fat man, don't let him escape!" β
At present, the effect of the "tracking" skill is about to end, and Gu Cheng is not sure if the man in black in front of him will still be able to catch up with the fat tiger. And the sudden appearance of the fat tiger here is likely to affect their mission. Gu Cheng didn't dare to bet the task on Fat Tiger's "character".
And according to the current few fights, Gu Cheng found that although the speed of the man in black was fast, it was not completely impossible to deal with, not to mention that there was a black panther on the side, and the two were not afraid that they would not be able to solve her.
However, a scene outside Gu Chengcheng happened.
The man in black took a few steps back to distance himself from him and the panther, and asked, "Aren't you with that fat man?" β
Gu Cheng was stunned, he didn't expect the other party to ask such a sentence.
The man in black was wearing a black combat uniform similar to that of the Black Widow in the Avengers, with a pure black mask, shoulder-length hair, and a pair of clear but murderous eyes. Her voice, though still had the changing immaturity peculiar to a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, sounded very cold and emotionless.
"You think we're on the same path as that fat man, that's why you attacked us?" Gu Cheng asked.
The girl nodded.
Gu Cheng said directly: "We took over the task of saving the main plot character Leah in Trisham, and when we came here, we met the fat man, and we suspected that he had something to do with the mission. So strictly speaking, we're here to 'catch' him. β
The dagger in the girl's hand was not put down, still maintaining a posture of attacking at any time, and said coldly: "But I obviously call that fat man 'fat tiger', will you not know it?" β
"Being able to name does not mean that you know each other, and you can also call names among enemies." Gu Cheng didn't know what the relationship between this girl and the fat tiger was, but the enemy of the enemy was a friend, and from the current point of view, she must not be the companion of the fat tiger, otherwise she would not have stopped because Gu Cheng asked Zhao Shanhe to chase the fat tiger.
"Hmph." The girl snorted coldly, put away her dagger, jumped on the roof on the side, and left from the other side.
Compared with the girl who left, Gu Cheng was more concerned about whether Zhao Shanhe caught up with the fat tiger, and he didn't care about the girl, and said directly to the black panther: "Let's go, let's hurry up and chase Brother Zhao." β
The panther nodded.
The two chased towards the place where Zhao Shanhe left, and saw Zhao Shanhe who was about to enter outside a building with a strange rune stone tablet.
"Brother Zhao." Gu Cheng stopped Zhao Shanhe.
Zhao Shanhe didn't expect Gu Cheng and the black panther to catch up so quickly, and asked, "Then the man in black has solved it?" Do you know who it is? β
Gu Cheng shook his head: "She mistakenly thought that we and Fat Tiger were all the way, so she sold a sneak attack, but when she heard me tell you to chase Fat Tiger, she stopped." It seems that he is also chasing the fat tiger. What about you? Didn't catch up with the fat tiger? β
"I'm gone, I don't know if he's hiding in this weird house, and he's about to go in and take a look, and you're here."
Gu Cheng said: "Let's go, go in and take a look." Be careful. β
Zhao Shanhe nodded, and followed Gu Cheng with the black panther into the strange building. In the middle of the living room of the room, there is a secret passage that goes down.
Zhao Shanhe took out a torch and lit it, took a picture of it, held a sword in one hand and a torch in the other, and walked in front.
The three of them went down the secret passage and found that it was a spacious secret room, in the center of the secret room, there were seven black stone pillars with strange runes, and in the center of the stone pillar there was a stone platform more than one meter high, and a book with a black cover was placed on the stone platform.
Gu Cheng and the three of them walked over, and as soon as their hands touched the book, the three of them received a system prompt at the same time-
[Trigger the team quest "Legacy of the Vizjere Clan" to find 3 ancient documents of the Vizjere clan.] The current mission objective is 0/3. Once you have found all three ancient documents, you can get clues about the heritage of the Vizgerre clan from the ancient documents. γ
[Complete the reward experience value x15000, life x1200, random bronze treasure chest x6. (This task is a team task, the reward for completing the task is divided equally according to the number of people, and the task will fail if the team is disbanded during the task, and the task time limit is 480 hours.) Do you pick up a task? Yes/No? γ
"Team assignment?" Zhao Shanhe said with some surprise: "This kind of task is relatively rare, and the general rewards are much better than ordinary side quests." But it also means that the task is relatively difficult, and the process is also very cumbersome. β
Gu Cheng said: "It doesn't matter, anyway, there is no punishment if this task fails, we can just look for ancient documents by the way." β
The task reward is 5000 experience, 400 lifespan and 2 random bronze chests according to the distribution of three people, which is indeed much better than the general side quest reward. What's more, you only need to find three ancient documents, and there is no punishment if you fail.
"Okay, who's going to start the makeshift team?" Zhao Shanhe asked.
"It's fine, it doesn't make a difference anyway." Gu Cheng didn't say much, and directly launched a temporary team with Zhao Shanhe and the Black Panther, and the tentative name of the group was 'Zhong'.
After Zhao Shanhe joined the team, he complained: "Senior brother, you got this name...... It's too sloppy, right? β
"That's better than the '1' that Fat Tiger takes, right?" Gu Cheng didn't care, after all, there was a lazy name taken by the fat tiger in front of him, and he still had 6 strokes.
Zhao Shanhe: ...... If you want to do that, it seems to make sense.
Gu Cheng picked up the black-covered book and looked through it, and the task of everyone looking for the "Ancient Documents of the Vizgerre Clan" became 0/3 and 1/3.
"I'll go, this thing is?" Gu Cheng himself was shocked.
The book contains a lot of stories about the Vizjere tribe, from the appearance of the Vizjere tribe in antiquity, the summoning of demons to cause disasters in the Sanctuary Land, and the decline.
Zhao Shanhe poked his head and glanced at the contents of the ancient documents, and said, "Then what is the clue of the 'Vizgerre Tribal Heritage', could it be that I found it from these three ancient documents?" I hate reading, I get a headache when I look at it. β
Gu Cheng looked through the ancient books and briefly told Zhao Shanhe and the black panther about the contents recorded in the book.
After the Battle of Original Sin is over, the demons of hell have identified the potential of humanity and want to enslave humanity to become their "tool" to defeat heaven. And the heavenly side was also shocked by the powerful power of Nephilim and the human race, and held a "vote" on whether to let the human race continue to reproduce.
But in the end, the vote ended with the affirmative votes of the three archangels, Oriel, the Angel of Hope, Isseriel, and Tyrell, the Angel of Justice, with the abstention of Masayir, the Angel of Wisdom, and the negative vote of Impres, the Angel of Valiant, thus avoiding the obliteration of humanity.
Impres angrily asks Tyrell why he is on his side, but the other party says that he has witnessed the heroic deeds of Udixian's unique human beings, and he has come to believe that maybe the universe cannot be defined by cold laws alone. He believed that humanity might be able to create a great world that even heaven could not reach.
As a result, Impres and Tyrell have a disagreement, and the two have been at odds more than once over human issues.
But after humanity's right to life was secured, the Council of Anglis and the lords of the Burning Hell agreed on a ceasefire, and as one of the terms of this agreement, Inarius was handed over to the demons of hell, who amputated him, as well as eternal torment......
On the other hand, in the Sanctuary Land, in the decades after the war, the people of Kaijian were desperate to escape the shadow of the apocalypse, so they renamed the place Kaijistan and strictly forbade the spread of the original sin war.
As time passed, the mage tribe came to power again. But because the Tritheistic Cult and the Cathedral of Light taught the mage clan the most profound lesson, the mages realized that they could never summon the demons of hell again, and that, for the sake of a better life for humanity, heaven and hell should never come to the human world again.
Before the War of Original Sin, the Mage Clan had seven large clans and seven smaller clans, but after the War of Original Sin, only the three main clans remained: the Vizgerre, Enid, and Amit tribes.
The Enid tribe focused on material conversion and enchantment, while Amit was skilled in illusion and disguise, and the Vizjere tribe was the most rapidly developed, thriving in many ways, with thousands of wizards under their command. In addition to some mage-specific skills, Vizgerre is also secretly researching a secret summoning technique. But because they were so secretive, the other two tribes didn't know that Vizgerre was breaking the "taboo" again.
The truth about the War of Original Sin was gradually hidden under the oppression of the three mage clans, and the public was told that the humans who died as a result of the catastrophe were killed by some kind of plague, and the Nephilim who had erased their memories also "confirmed" and "consolidated" this statement. But there are still a few who know the truth, and they realize that blind faith and religious fanaticism will not prevent catastrophe.
In fact, not long after the tritheistic religion and the Cathedral of Light arose, the War of Original Sin broke out, and the believers did not develop to the point of entrenchment.
But since then, "faith" has lost its place in the sanctuary, and humanity now believes only what it can see with its own eyes, and religion has rapidly shrunk as a result.
Humans have come to believe in mage tribes, because magic relies on qualitative experience and quantitative calculations. As the entire kingdom embraced logical reasoning and practical research, the Mage Council and the royal family once again ruled the land together.
As the war for original sin and the gloom of the catastrophe faded, humanity entered an age of inspiration, research, and enlightenment. However, in the midst of this unprecedented prosperity, the restless Vizgerre clan has made another strange move.
It all started with an anonymous letter sent to the Amit tribe by an official of the Enid clan -
"What I'm going to say below is the strictest level of secrecy. According to the most reliable sources, just two days ago, five high-ranking Vizgerre mages were overheard chanting incantations in the deepest secret chamber of the Sanctuary of Ishali...... There is no doubt that the summoning ritual is being carried out. Soon there was a faint jolt, followed by a throat-tearing scream. Of the 5 mages who entered, only 3 came out. β
"Needless to say, such behaviour is clearly absolutely unacceptable. Ignoring many warnings and repeating the sins of the past, Vizgerre will destroy everything we have worked so hard to build. We've decided to take action, and Vizgerre will soon be lying in their own grave. I have reason to believe that we can count on your support and assistance in such a situation. β
"I really hope you will approve this request, because it's time to put an end to Vizgerre's recklessness and rashness once and for all."
Immediately after this letter, Enid and the Amit clan sent Assassins to assassinate the high-ranking of Vizgerere. Then, in retaliation, some of their own officials were brutally murdered by Vizgerere, and the conflict between the two sides escalated.
Soon, the members of the three clans were bloodied in the streets, and when the violence reached its peak, Enid and Amit gathered forces in Kadian and swept through the university of Wizgerre in the main city of Wizgere. When the dust settled, there was not a single living mouth or even a wall left in the entire academy.
At this point, the Mage Tribal War officially began.
As the fighting continues on the eastern continent, the Vizger Council has abandoned their capital and gone into hiding, quietly working to consolidate their power. After annihilating some of the lone Vizjere warriors, Enid and Amit rallied their combined forces and launched an assault on Vizjere's main force.
Due to their sheer numerical inferiority, Vizgerre was quickly surrounded, and just as their fate was hanging by a thread, the plans of the Vizgere Spellcasters finally really came to sleep - they used a weapon that no other tribe would dare to touch: summoning demons.
With the killing of a large number of Enid and Amit warriors, the balance of victory was overturned. From the deepest depths of the Burning Hell, the terrifying monster door steps on the corpse of its opponent and fights its way through it. The combined forces of Enid and Amit abandoned their armor and were forced all the way back to the capital city of Witzshire.
"The record of the ancient document is over here......" After Gu Cheng finished speaking, he closed the ancient document and looked at Zhao Shanhe and the black panther.
Compared with the panther's calmness, Zhao Shanhe seemed to be unsatisfied, and even asked directly: "What happened later?" β
Gu Cheng was speechless: "...... Afterward? Do you listen to a story for a long time? β
"Or else?" Zhao Shanhe asked rhetorically.
Gu Cheng: ...... I was speechless.
Zhao Shanhe asked again: "So...... Did you find any useful information from this 'story'? β
Gu Cheng pondered for a while and said, "For now, the secret technique that Vizgerre is most capable of is 'summoning demons', maybe their legacy is related to this. The details will not be known until the other two ancient texts are found. But that's all for later, and for now, it's more important to find Leah's whereabouts. β
Zhao Shanhe nodded, he also agreed with Gu Cheng's statement, this team's task seems simple, but there is no clue to find the remaining two ancient books, it is completely two words - "casual fate". Instead of wasting time on this task, it is better to continue to work on the side quest at hand and wait until you find clues related to the ancient document before making plans.
"Decard Cain." The panther said five words rarely.
Zhao Shanhe was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly: "Kane?" What happened to him? It's not like we haven't been exposed to the mission to rescue him, and he should still be under the cathedral, right? β
Gu Cheng immediately reacted when Black Panther said this: "What Lao Hei means is that Dikadkane, as a member of Hradim, has naturally studied many ancient documents, and may know the whereabouts of the ancient documents about the Vizgere tribe. So...... The problem is back to square one, and in order to receive the mission to rescue Decad Kane, you must first find Leah. β
"Alas. But Mibia Town was searched around by us and we couldn't find Leah's whereabouts, and it was not so simple to save people. Zhao Shanhe sighed.
Gu Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Before we came, Fat Tiger was already in Mibia Town...... And that fast-paced Chosen Girl, maybe something happened in Mibia Town before. Just find one of the two of them and you'll be able to find some clues. β
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and find it......" Zhao Shanhe muttered and walked out towards the passage, and the black panther followed him.
Halfway through, the panther looked back at Gu Cheng, who was staring at a few rune black pillars, and asked, "Let's go?" β
"Here it is." Gu Cheng thought that there might be some clues to the runes on those black pillars, but he couldn't read the runes, so he could only memorize them from memory.
The three of them left the house, and they didn't know where to find someone for a while, so they could only search in Mibia Town first, and just when the three of them were at a loss, they suddenly heard a fighting sound in the distance, especially the sound of gunfire and explosions, which did not sound like the movement of the dark natives.
"Let's see." Zhao Shanhe relied on his fastest speed and rushed out first, followed by Gu Cheng and the black panther, and the three of them stopped on a rooftop on the edge of the town.
In the distance, a slender figure was fighting with two figures, one fat and one white.
"Fat Tiger! Snow Eagle! Zhao Shanhe recognized the two people who were fighting with the girl in black at a glance.
Zhao Shanhe looked at Gu Cheng: "I didn't expect that the people we were looking for were all here, should we wait for them to finish fighting before going out, or do it now?" β
The panther asked, "Where?" β
Zhao Shanhe was stunned, he just wanted to do it, and he really didn't know which side to help for a while, so he immediately looked at Gu Cheng and threw the ball to him.
Gu Cheng smiled faintly, took out AX338 and put it on the roof, laughed, and said in a natural tone: "Of course it's a good-looking ......."
Zhao Shanhe: ......
Panther:......
