Chapter 11: Dika Kane

As the city gate slowly opened, Yi Xuan's heart was overjoyed, he had finally found an organization in this strange place, and he had a place to stay, since entering the second floor, this was obviously the most celebratory moment. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The door opened, and the whole picture of Tristram gradually appeared in front of Yi Xuan's eyes, as the most legendary town in Diablo, Tristram was very important in the dark world, but as he saw the whole picture of the town, Yi Xuan's heart was greatly disappointed.
The scale of the town is not large, this can be seen through the outer wall, but Yi Xuan didn't expect that there are not many buildings inside, perhaps because of the baptism of war, most of the houses in the town are dilapidated, scattered around the stone road, the land next to the stone road, the land that should be neat is overgrown with weeds, and at a glance, you can know that no one has taken care of it for a long time.
There are not many pedestrians walking in the streets of the town, and occasionally one or two are also sincerely afraid, seeing the gate open, everyone stopped and looked out curiously, when they saw that the entrance gate was a team of mercenaries who seemed to have extraordinary combat effectiveness, everyone's faces showed expressions of joy and excitement, and they seemed to be very happy about the strengthening of the city defense.
But the few old men in the distance didn't seem to be optimistic about the situation of the battle, frowning at Yi Xuan and his group, pointing at the more distinct people among the mercenaries.
This naturally included Yi Xuan, especially the rune sword he was holding in his hand, which made these townspeople seem to be a little uneasy.
Yi Xuan didn't pay attention to the strange and inquiring eyes of those people, anyway, they were just some public-faced n.p. extras, and they didn't play a decisive role, following the Falcon Mercenary Group, Yi Xuan finally stepped into the first human settlement since entering the second floor.
Just now, the guards guarding the city ran down from the city wall and came to the captain Loken, because the misunderstanding had been clarified, so it seemed that Loken's credibility had also been greatly improved, and the person who looked like the captain of the guard bowed shallowly to everyone, and then asked politely: "Welcome to Tristrem." β
Yi Xuan was strange in his heart, although his mercenary team was here to help them, but the etiquette of this guard seemed to be a bit excessive, he usually played games, even if he went to help, there was no one to receive him, he went to the city to settle down, and if there was a war, he went out to meet the enemy.
Na Luoken had obviously never received such courtesy, and immediately returned the salute in a panic, their mercenaries have always been informal, so they are a little rusty with these etiquettes.
"You're welcome, you're welcome, that's what we're supposed to do." Lorcan replied haphazardly.
The guard straightened up and turned to face the townspeople, shouting, "Listen, these are the Falcon Mercenaries, our friends, they just fought for us outside the city, and managed to kill a Death Knight."
Hearing the guards shouting like this, out of nowhere, a lot of townsfolk suddenly came out, and gradually gathered around them, and when they heard the guards say that they had killed the Death Knight, their eyes immediately radiated excitement and cheered loudly.
It was probably the first time that Lorcan had been so welcomed, and he scratched his head in embarrassment, while the thief quietly stepped forward, grinning as if he were the one who had killed the Death Knight
Yi Xuan doesn't care much about this, although it feels good to be supported by everyone, but in his heart, all this is just a game, and with these public-faced townspeople, Yi Xuan must be more concerned about those famous NPs in Tristram, what he needs to figure out most urgently now is what kind of game he is in now, if he wants to figure out this, he has to find more people or things to compare, and he also wants to see if there are any powerful tasks hidden in this town.
You must know that in the original dark game, the protagonist of a generation can single-handedly go into the ground and kill Diablo, although it is a little incredible, but in the fantasy world, in the fantasy world, the difference in power is so huge that it does not make sense.
So Yi Xuan thought to himself, if this setting is still there, and the protagonist is still in Tristram, then with the existence of this kind of character, he doesn't have to worry about the lack of guard strength at all.
With those NPs who are not afraid of death, Yi Xuan is a flesh-and-blood person, if there is really a disparity in strength between the two sides, he hung up before entering the big plot, Yi Xuan died unjustly.
Therefore, Yi Xuan waved his hand to deal with the enthusiastic townspeople, while carefully looking in the crowd, looking over face by face, trying to find if he could see one or two familiar faces, but to Yi Xuan's disappointment, these people in front of him seemed to be really just extras, like the archers of the mercenary team, not only the clothes were similar, but also the expressions and appearances were featureless, which made people unable to remember, let alone the characters that made him feel familiar, it seemed that these people in front of him were really just ordinary townspeople.
Just when Yi Xuan was disappointed, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and the townspeople who had warmly welcomed them just now quickly quieted down and consciously separated to both sides, and opposite them, a trembling bald old man separated from the crowd and greeted them.
Yi Xuan's eyes couldn't help but light up, haha, he said that it couldn't be completely out of line with the original.
I saw that this old man was wearing a gray bachelor's robe, the robe was old and dirty, it looked like it had not been washed for a long time, there were a few gray-black oil stains distributed on the placket, and the chest was sprinkled with snow-white beard, which looked like this person had rich experience and knowledge, and then looked up, a thin and old face, the skin on the face was loose and dull, and it seemed that he didn't know how long this person had lived, trembling with a long cane in his hand, and holding a thick ancient book in the other hand.
The old man walked up to the crowd and stood still, his head shaking nervously, and he opened his mouth and said, "Welcome to Tristram." He spoke loudly, shouting in a voice that did not match his body, "I have foreseen your comingβthe Traveler. Although the voice couldn't stop shaking a little, the voice was loud, and everyone present listened to it.
Yi Xuan smiled, looking at the appearance of this old man, could it be Decca Kane? Although Diablo is a classic game, because of the game style and tone of Dark, as well as as being an earlier game, his graphics are not very good, so although Yi Xuan has seen Decca Kane countless times, he probably knows that he is a white-bearded old man.
But Decca Kane, as a famous NP Yi Xuan who runs through the 2-generation of Darkness, is no longer familiar, so as soon as he saw this old man, he suddenly had a right name in his heart, Dika Kane was the last Heradim sage in Dark, so if he could confirm his identity, Yi Xuan felt that he could definitely hear some information about this world from him.
The thought in Yi Xuan's mind flashed, and the captain of the guard next to him introduced the two sides at this time: "This is our temporary mayor, Dika Kane, he is also the wise and sage of our place, I believe that with him here, he will not neglect the warriors from afar." β
The old man also smiled at this time and said, "Decca Kane, welcome to Tristrem. β
Yi Xuan also smiled in his heart, if this is the case, he will have to deal with the other party well, although it is NP, but as such a game, Yi Xuan believes that the NPC here will definitely not just pop up a dialog box to let himself choose so low-end, as long as he gets along well, he will naturally get more useful information.
"It's getting late, please go and rest first, and we'll discuss the matter of defending the dark camp tomorrow." Saying that, the old man turned sideways slightly, and led everyone to the town, probably because of the killing of the death knight, and everyone was very friendly to them along the way.
Although there are not many buildings in this town, but probably because of the dark camp pressure, many residents in this town have fled, so there are a lot of empty houses, and soon a group of people found a house for rest under the leadership of the old man, the residents are in a hurry, it is estimated that they only took away some soft and soft, in addition to a little messy in the room, all the living items are complete, it is really a bag to live, and it also saves a lot of trouble
Yi Xuan chose a small wooden house with a small area but very clean to settle down, this day began to rush from the morning sun rise, to the fierce battle just now, Yi Xuan was really tired, at first he wanted to talk to the old Dika, but as soon as his head touched the pillow, he only felt a sense of exhaustion involuntarily surging up, plus the mental power consumption was serious when he fought with the knight just now, so he was very sleepy, Yi Xuan said that other things will be said tomorrow, and now the world is not as big as his sleep.
"Finally settled." This was the last thought in Yi Xuan's mind, although he could only stay for two or three days, but it was also a defended village and town, at least there was no need to worry about security, so Yi Xuan's spirit also relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.
This night was completely different from the previous night, Yi Xuan's body was covered with a warm blanket, and he was not worried about a monster attacking, so he slept very soundly, and he didn't have a dream, he only felt as if he had only slept for a while, but the sky was already bright.
Tuk tuk, a soft knock sounded outside the door, Yi Xuan shook his head, heard it, but his eyelids were heavy and he was reluctant to raise it.
Tuk Tuk, "Sir, are you awake?" A little girl's crisp voice came to mind outside the door.
Yi Xuan knew that he couldn't sleep anymore, so he reluctantly opened his eyes, and the dazzling sunlight immediately shone into his eyes. "Oh, it's already dawn." Yi Xuan muttered, stretched his waist widely, and then got up and opened the wooden door
The cool air outside immediately came in and lifted Yi Xuan's spirits, he had a good rest last night, and today he felt that his mind was extraordinary, only to see a six or seven-year-old girl standing outside the door, looking at him with a pair of bright big eyes.
I don't know how long it took, there was a sudden knock on the door, Yi Xuan pushed open the door and took a look, and found that the little girl was wearing a long dress with broken flowers, short black hair, and a red bow tied on her head, and she was looking at herself with a pair of big black eyes, her eyes were clear, and her eyes couldn't hide the clever look.
"Sir, grandpa told you to go to the tavern for breakfast." Seeing that Yi Xuan finally opened the door, the little girl immediately said to him in a loud voice.
"Who is your grandfather?" Yi Xuan was surprised that as soon as he arrived in this town, someone invited him to breakfast.
"My grandfather is Mr. Mayor Mare, Decca Kane"
"Diccakane's granddaughter?" Yi Xuan couldn't help but be stunned, and his heart was excited, so this little girl was actually Leah
Yi Xuan really didn't expect to meet this little girl here in addition to Dika Kane, Leah is the adopted daughter of Dika Kane, and she only officially appeared in Dark-, don't look at the innocence of this little Lori in front of her, but her real identity is the daughter of Diablo and the witch Adria, but there is pure demon blood flowing in her body, and in the later plot, she has become the medium of Diablo's resurrection, but she is still young in front of her, and the hidden power in her body has not yet been revealed.
Unexpectedly, he met another heavyweight figure so soon, Yi Xuan glanced at her with interest, since she will also be an H6-level character in the future, it is very important to have a good relationship with her, so Yi Xuan immediately lowered his body and said to Leah kindly: "Okay, uncle will be here soon, can you please tell me where to eat?" Smile while speaking and try to maintain an amiable image.
Leah's attitude towards Yi Xuan was obviously not too much of a deal, and instinctively took a step back before saying, "It's in front of the tavern." After speaking, he shook his head and turned around and ran away, as if he was afraid that Yi Xuan, the strange Shu millet, would eat his own tofu, which made Yi Xuan bored himself.
But she's just a Lori now, it doesn't matter, Yi Xuan thinks I'm so scary? He walked silently towards the tavern.
While walking towards the tavern, Yi Xuan's head began to work, since this Leah is still just a little Lori, then that is to say, the timeline of the dark world in this game should be between the second and third generations, although this world is obviously not only composed of Diablo This game background, but even if it is a mix-and-match, he must have its rules in it, so it is definitely more conducive to analyzing the overall form by figuring out all the problems that he can figure out first.
However, since it is a mix and match, this timeline may not be reliable, and it seems that it will be necessary to confirm with Decakane for a while.
"Hey, hurry up, or there's nothing to eat." The thief ran quickly from behind Yi Xuan, seeing that Yi Xuan was distracted, and jokingly nudged Yi Xuan as he walked past him.
Yi Xuan came back to his senses suddenly, but he had already come to the door of the tavern, the door was open, and at a glance, he saw that there were already several people sitting inside, the four named NPCs of the Falcon Mercenary Regiment had all arrived, plus himself, as well as Dika and his little granddaughter Leah, and yesterday's captain of the guards was also there, it seemed that this breakfast was also a simple strategic meeting, Yi Xuan hurriedly took a few steps in, and found a place to sit down
Looking around, Yi Xuan found that none of the public faces in the mercenary team were seen, it seemed that they didn't even have to eat except that they didn't have names, but this was not surprising, when they were playing games before, they never saw any of the guards eat.
Dika Kane was talking to Loken about something, and when he saw Yi Xuan coming over and nodding slightly to him, Locan turned his head to see that it was Yi Xuan, and waved his hand to say hello.
"How? Traveller? Did you sleep well last night? Decca greeted politely.
Yi Xuan immediately nodded: "Well, it's good, how is it?" The undead didn't attack again, did they? β
Dicakane's face showed a hint of solemnity, nodded and said: "It's true that for the time being, we were also discussing this matter just now, because of your heavy damage yesterday, it seems that the dark camp will not attack this town in the short term, but we still can't let our guard down, and I hope you can continue to help defend this Tristram until reinforcements from the Knights of the Dawn arrive." β
Hearing the old man say this, Lorcan immediately agreed loudly: "Mayor Town, don't worry, this matter is covered by us, as long as our falcon mercenary group is here, those undead scum don't want to come in within three days." What he said was righteous and awe-inspiring, and it didn't look like he had taken on a mission from the dark camp at the same time.
Yi Xuan was amused in his heart, but his face didn't understand jerky, and he suddenly thought: "By the way, there are no other forces of the Light Camp around here that can call for help except for the Knights of Dawn?" β
Yi Xuan asked, firstly, because he had little confidence in his mercenary group and the guards of this town, and secondly, he was also listening to other information.
When Diccakane heard Yi Xuan ask, he suddenly showed a sad face, shook his head tremblingly, and said: "No more, since the fall of Rog's camp, Tristram is the last stronghold of the Light Camp in this land, once Tristram falls, the consequences will be unimaginable." The old man already looked like he was about to die, and with a sad expression, Yi Xuan felt very uncomfortable when he saw it, and tried to remind himself that this was just a game, but don't be rash, they are not real people, they are not people.
Yi Xuan didn't mention self-hypnotizing himself in his heart, and Luo Ken next to him asked in a heartless and rough voice: "I don't know why those undead are attacking this town, as far as I can see, there is nothing valuable in this town." In his opinion, wasting manpower and material resources to attack for this group of old and weak soldiers is really very unnecessary.
When the old man heard his words, the muscles on his face trembled obviously, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes, as if he was told by Lorcan, but he muttered: "That's true, I can't figure out why they insist on attacking this city, maybe it's just because of the evil nature of the dark camp, they just want to destroy everything." Dicakane said, but his worried gaze fell on the innocent Leah.
Yi Xuan saw all this in his eyes, his heart moved, and he said in his heart, could it be that they want this Leah? Combined with her life experience, this matter does not seem difficult to understand.
At this moment, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the tavern door: "Mayor, captain, it's not good, there are traces of the undead outside the village." With the shouting, a militiaman rushed in in a panic, gasping for breath and seemingly running in a hurry.
"Huh?" Decca was obviously taken aback, immediately got up from his seat, shook his hands, and said, "I'll be right away." As he spoke, he stepped out of his seat, grabbed his cane on the side, and strode out, and after taking two steps, he suddenly remembered that he was still entertaining guests, and hurriedly turned back to the tavern owner and shouted, "Zoe, treat our guests well, and we need their help in this difficult time." β
"I understand Mayor Town." The owner of the tavern standing inside the bar hurriedly responded.
The captain of the guard nodded at them, and hurriedly followed Dicakane as a greeting. The tavern owner immediately walked out of the bar, with a worried look on his face, and asked them absentmindedly, "What do you want to eat?" β
In fact, this sentence should be said by Loken, because of the siege of the undead, the supplies in the town are obviously very scarce, and the food on the menu is pitiful, so now it is not up to them what they want to eat, but to ask the boss what they can eat.
A few people looked at it, and there was only hard black bread in the tavern, the owner's own secret cabbage stew, which looked like pig food, but it smelled okay, and some grilled sausages, cheese, and beer.
Since their background is set in medieval Europe, so is the food, Yi Xuan is very curious about the food in this world, I have read many novels before that the European food of this period is very difficult to swallow, this time I can see it.
Therefore, Yi Xuan decided to try to have a little bit of everything, ordered a black bread, a grilled sausage, and a bowl of cabbage stew, everything was ready-made, and it was quickly served, Yi Xuan first took a bite of the bread, by the way, the bread that needs to be cut with a saw is really hard enough, although it can't be said that the chrome teeth, but the first time I can't bite the essentials, Yi Xuan still feels that the gumwork hurts a lot, chew it a few times, the wheat is fragrant, although there are some wheat husks, but it can be treated as a coarse grain cake, but it helps digestion.
Nodding, Yi Xuan was quite satisfied with this black bread, and took another bite of the sausage, it was genuine, it was all lean meat, but it was roasted with a smell of charcoal. The cabbage stew is almost all stewed, the cabbage has become a vegetable paste, and the seasoning of this European is completely different from that of China, not only has a spicy and stimulating taste, but also sour, but fortunately, it is hot and warm in the stomach.
It seems that this food is still acceptable, which makes Yi Xuan's heart relax a lot, and in the past two days, he drank a bottle of replenishment medicine the day before yesterday, and Yi Xuan's stomach was empty, so he was snoring and eating at the moment.
The mercenary team is full of big bosses, and they are all embarrassed, but no one laughs at anyone, after eating, the boss came over to close the meal and settle the bill by the way, originally Yi Xuan thought that this meal should be invited by the mayor, but when he saw that the other mercenaries didn't take it seriously, they all paid immediately, and they were embarrassed to mention it, it seems that these foreigners don't seem to attach so much importance to this kind of thing as a treat in the Celestial Empire.
"I really don't understand the world." Yi Xuanxin said that he had no choice but to touch the money from his pocket. The things he ate cost seven copper coins, and Yi Xuan could afford this money, counting the money, thinking in his heart, it seems that the prices in this world are still very cheap, he found four copper coins in the box the day before yesterday, and he harvested more than a dozen yesterday after fighting zombies, which is still very profitable.
After paying the bill, Yi Xuan also inquired about the currency ratio of this world by the way.
As a businessman, the tavern owner couldn't help but find it difficult for him to answer this question, and immediately broke his fingers to explain to Yi Xuan one by one, it turned out that there were three kinds of currencies in this world, gold coins, silver coins and copper coins, among which copper coins were the cheapest, 100 copper coins for a silver coin, and 100 silver coins could be exchanged for a gold coin.
Yi Xuan immediately took out a gold coin that was left over from playing in the game hall, which was actually the gold coin of this world
Yi Xuan then understood why there were so many gold coins on the second floor to buy cards, as long as he had patience and strength, he could completely brush the mobs to accumulate gold coins, but so far he was still confused about how to contact the merchants.
