59: Elena, the witch
Not long after Jilara and the newly-equipped Rogue warriors entered the sewers, the secret camp welcomed some uninvited guests.
A female mage named Aliana, and hundreds of demons trailing her.
As one of the three followers in the game, the witch Alina is supposed to have "encountered" by chance on Nephilim's way to investigate Arcanas.
However, due to the disturbance of Mishan's entry, Arcanas, who would have been destroyed by the cultists, was saved by Ashira.
As a result of these changes, Belel, the Lord of Lies, who replaced Hakan II, is a little more blatant than in the game.
Originally, Alina was waiting on the path of Nephilim according to the prophecy...... Now, however, Nephilim has gone down the well ahead of schedule.
Alina, who didn't wait for Nephilim for a long time, waited for a group of demons under Beliel.
Alina, who has more ability to support than frontal combat, sparks all the way and fights while running with electricity, and is noticed by the patrolling Rog warriors.
In order to avoid the secret camp being exposed, the demons who chased Alina ended a bit miserable.
Alina herself was brought into a secret camp after several security checks to make sure it wasn't a demon.
Alina knew that the Rogue warriors had brought themselves to the secret camp because they didn't want to reveal the secrets, but she decided to express her gratitude to the owner of the camp.
When he saw Alina, Mishan subconsciously said to the witch in a very familiar tone: "Nephiten just took Komac and Linden into the sewers, you can go with them now, maybe you can find them, if you don't want to, stay in the camp." ”
Compared to the Templar Komarc and Lyndon the Thief, the witch Alina has the freshest style of the three followers, completely different from the other two rough old men.
And when she rushed to the high-level secret realm, Alina helped Mishan's Jilara a lot.
Mishan's familiar words made Alina's words of thanks that had been brewing for a while all hold in her heart.
The little witch's head is now full of "Who am I?" "Where am I?" The philosophical question of "what am I doing".
The embarrassing situation lasted for a while, and it was only after Mishan realized that the little witch had not yet met Nephilim...... Although her mission is indeed this.
As a spoiler, Rice Shan said calmly: "I'm talking about the person your mentor prophet wants you to wait for." ”
“???” The confusion and bewilderment on Alina's face instantly turned into shock.
In contrast to the two followers of Comac and Linden, who are both from this era, Alina is a mage.
…… That's right, it's the sewer worker and blood overseer Batuk who has been blowing about it all the time, that era more than a thousand years ago.
However, compared to Batuk, who was a great magician of the mage era, the witch Alina was born as a maid.
A maid under a mage, as a nobleman who wielded power and knowledge in the age of a mage, a mage will have many maids like Alina under his hands.
The unknown mage was a Visgery mage, like Batuk, in other words, a magician who liked to summon demons and felt that he was in control.
Working as a maid under this magician is life-threatening, and if it weren't for a mysterious person named "The Prophet" who helped Alina, it is estimated that Alina and her companions would have been GG long ago.
The soothsayer gave Alina the power of the mage minions and set them free.
And the mysterious prophet's original intention in doing so was to cultivate a follower who could assist Nephilten in his fight against the Great Demon God after a thousand years.
From this point of view, the soothsayer is supposed to be an angel like Tyrell, but in a different way than Tyrell.
Tyrell's actions were a public violation of the laws of the High Heaven forbidding interference with earthly laws, and the prophet ...... He's quietly playing the sidelines.
Unexpectedly, her secret was told so casually by Mishan, and Aliana continued to ask in shock:
"Do you know the prophet, Your Excellency? Do you know where my sisters are? ”
As an ordinary person...... At least ordinary people who don't have the ability to live forever, Alina hasn't been living in the world for a thousand years.
Instead, after acceding to the prophet's request, he fell into a thousand-year-long sleep...... According to the plot in the game, at the beginning of the Diablo 3 plot, Alina woke up, and she was woken up by the airborne Tyrell.
Before she fell asleep, Alina watched her sisters fall into a deep sleep one by one like herself, only to wake up to be the only one in the sleeping tomb.
"I don't know who the prophet is, but I only know where your sister is." Misr Shan glanced at the witch Alina and continued, "But are you sure you're ready for the answer?" ”
“…… I...... I think I'm ready. Alina sensed the possibility that the answer might not be satisfactory in Mishan's subtle expression, but she remained firm.
"The answer is that the prophet has arranged for you to wake up alone in this era and help save the heroes of the world." Mishan said.
“…… Am I alone? But I watched my sisters fall asleep with me! Alina said with a puzzled expression.
"They are your guardians." After a pause, Mi Shan added: "A thousand years is not a short time. ”
According to the lifespan of the human beings in this world after being adjusted and weakened by the World Stone, it is almost twenty or thirty generations in a thousand years.
"A Thousand Years ......" Alina didn't want to accept Mishan's answer, but there was a voice in her heart that told her that Mishan was right.
The consequence of really falling asleep may be that no one will wake up again.
The best solution is for someone to guard the Sleeping Place, and when the Guardian can't hold on any longer due to lifespan or something, wake up a Sleeper to take over his mission.
Day after day, year after year, something that lasts for more than a thousand years.
So the question now is, why didn't the prophet say it at the time, and if he did, Alina wouldn't wake up, except for waiting for the hero to save the world, as the prophet said, looking for clues about her sister.
"Why don't you say it?" Mi Shan recalled and said: "It's not that I didn't say it, I just didn't tell you, your sisters should know about it." ”
If you don't know, you can't take turns to protect the only sleeping beauty Alina who needs to be protected.
"However, I am not the most talented, nor the most capable, I am very ordinary among my sisters." Alina asked, incomprehensible.
"But you're the best." "As to why you are the most suitable," said Mishan, "ask the prophet himself. ”
"Prophet...... Your Excellency, do you not know the identity of the Prophet? Alina said.
"I don't know, but it's easy to guess." "There is only one person in this world who can rightfully claim to be a prophet. ”
"Owner of the Scroll of Destiny Tarusar, Archangel of Destiny Israel Ilil."
"......" Alina looked dazed, she had no idea what the name meant.
Seeing Alina's dazed look, Misr raised her head and shouted to Leah, who was working as an assistant to Dr. Ziegler, "Leah, bring me the part of your uncle's notebook that mentions the Angelic Council of Anglis." ”
As Alina flipped through the Book of Kane and looked for information about the Archangel of Destiny, Mishan said beside her:
"Even if the Prophet wasn't Israel, he must have seen the Scroll of Destiny...... Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so precise in time to the present. ”
But who is it that is not mentioned in the game, and Mishan, who can't spoil it in one step, said it's a pity.
