19: I am me and I am not me
Asila, the leader of the Iron Wolf Guard, once led the Iron Wolf Mercenary Regiment, assisting a hero in the fight against Mephisto, the Hate King who had taken over Trivank, in the port of Curast.
In other words, she is an NPC in the Diablo 2 game, given the gap between the release of Diablo 2 and Diablo 3, as well as the 20-year time span set in the game.
As a player, there's nothing wrong with Kartim meeting Asila with a "nice to see you in years".
Mishan still remembers that when he was playing the game, it took a task to figure out who Asila was, and he sighed a little bit.
It's not that Mishan is sluggish, it's really that the painting style of the two generations of games is too big.
Don't look at Asila as the leader of the Iron Wolf Guard in Diablo 3, she always wears a bright red low-cut dress and takes a sexy route, compared to her outfit from the Diablo 2 era, this outfit can be regarded as extremely conservative now.
…… Fortunately, although Asila is a mage, he is not a prophecy system, so he can't see what Mishan is thinking, otherwise he will probably fight first.
What Asila was most curious about now was why Mishan looked so familiar with her, and no matter how much she recalled, she couldn't remember when she had met Mishan.
Faced with Asilla's doubts, Misr and Dr. Ziegler, who had changed from a lying position to a sitting position, glanced at each other, and then said in a subtle tone:
"In Port Curast, thanks to you for taking care of you, Captain Asila."
“??” Ashila looked a little puzzled.
For her and her Iron Wolf Guard, the experience of Port Curast was glorious but not so pleasant.
Because it was just at that time that Mephisto, the hated king who secretly controlled the holy city of Sakaram Trivank, tore off his disguised mask.
The originally sacred members of the High Council of Sakaram have degenerated into accomplices of demons.
What was once a holy place has become an evil place infested with demons.
In order to fight against the King of Hatred, the Iron Wolf Guard, who was still the Iron Wolf Mercenary Regiment at the time, paid a painful sacrifice.
If it weren't for a great hero passing by, Asila might have been there.
Great heroes? Thinking of the hero, Asila sensed that something was wrong.
Although the deeds of that great hero are still vivid after 20 years.
The entire Iron Wolf Guard also regarded that great hero as their own example.
But Asila searched for her memories again and again, only to find that she could not remember what the hero looked like, or even what kind of power the hero used.
If it weren't for the fact that the person in front of him had mentioned the port of Kurast, Asila wouldn't even be able to detect the strangeness in his memory.
A somewhat dazed Asila remembered what Misr had said before mentioning the port of Curlast:
"It's just a different look now."
This sentence connects with the hero who remembered before when he encounters things that are different from normal people, so it is inevitable that Asila will associate that hero with Misang.
With Asila's straightforward personality as the head of the mercenaries, Asila thought of this and said directly to Mishan:
"Is that you? You're not dead? ”
"Wow, it's not the World Stone I blew up, it was Tyrell who did it, why do you think I'm going to die?"
Unexpectedly, Asila's first reaction was to wonder if he was not dead, and Mishan instantly understood that the other party knew what the protagonist of Diablo 2 had done...... Or rather, I've heard of what the protagonist of Diablo 2 did.
"Is it really you?" If Asila still had a trace of doubt just now, then Mishan's words were equivalent to dispelling the last trace of doubt.
"It's me, but it's not me." Mi Shan thought for a while, and said with a very mysterious look: "I am not the same person I used to be. ”
Dr. Ziegler rolled his eyes when he heard Misrance's words.
Dr. Ziegler, who is also a gamer, knows very well that this sentence is a simple truth.
But in the eyes of these native NPCs, they will definitely be played.
Sure enough, just as Dr. Ziegler had predicted, Asila looked up and down, carefully looked at Mishan, who was slumped on the pillow in Beijing, and thought for a while before asking:
"Could it be that you, like those ancient magicians, have changed to a new body?"
If it were someone else, it might not necessarily be directly associated with this, but who is Asila, she is the boss of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Regiment.
Don't look at the name of the Iron Wolf Guard, which sounds so iron-blooded, in fact, this is a mercenary group composed of a group of two-sword mages.
Even if the mages of the Iron Wolf Guard are a group of pragmatic battle mages who are more concerned with the application of spells, the level of theoretical research is not comparable to those who squat at home.
But compared to other types of NPCs, they must all be highly educated, not to mention the wolf head of Asila.
So it is not too surprising that such a conclusion that is very close to the truth would be reached.
"It's a little different from the truth, but it's pretty much the same." Mishan smiled and said, "But don't get me wrong, my current body is my own, not someone else's, and I can't do it like Herathan's." ”
"Phew......" Asila shook her head, and said in front of Mishan, "You are still the same as before, always saying things that should not be said. ”
The Herathan mentioned by Misar is an ancient Visgery mage who is the boss of the Act 2 Shelter level in Diablo 2.
If you only play games, it is difficult to know the great achievements of this benevolent brother hidden in the depths of history.
In short, Herathan was a great magician, the end-of-war of the ancient mages, and in order to prevent the demons from getting their hands on St. Hugh Yari again, he established a mystical sanctuary in Ru Gayne.
Later, for some reason, he took possession of the body of a passing mage...... And this mage is the mage character controlled by the player in Diablo 1.
According to the original Blizzard northern tradition, as long as he is the protagonist, no matter what kind of great achievements he has done, there will be no good end in the end.
Judging from the reaction of Asila, the leader of the Iron Wolf Battle Mage Regiment, she also knows about Herathan and the story of what happened to Lu Goin.
By the way, Mishan also learned from Asilla's reaction that his role in Diablo 2 was a spoiler dog...... Wait, there seems to be nothing wrong with it, it's very in line with the image setting of Mishan.
Mishan was very happy because of this spoiler discovery that was very in line with his own spoilers, and Asila didn't expect to have a sense of surprise to reunite with an old friend.
As a bystander who knows everything, Dr. Ziegler, the pseudo-fourth natural calamity, has a happy look on his face.
Abdul Hazir, who claims to be a famous adventurer and naturalist, but in the end even he knows that he is just a small person, at most he is a small person, and the more extensive face is in a state of tension.
The terms Worldstone, Herathan, and Tyrrell ...... It gave Abdu the feeling that he had touched some kind of secret that he had touched.
Although he was very curious, he had always been very cautious and knew that once he was not qualified to know, when he did, the crisis hidden in the secret would swallow him to the bone.
Abdu even had the urge to turn around and leave Katim at once.
Asila, who didn't care about Abdul and thought that the whole person was Mishan's servant, asked Mishan, "You just said about Hakan II?" What happened to him? ”
"Something did happen." Mishan smiled and said, "And similar things, you and I have experienced before. ”
“…… Trevank," Asila said in a solemn tone.
