The appearance of Nephiti, which exists in ancient legends, seems to indicate that this is not a place of peace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Nephilim has been accompanied by wars and disasters since their birth, which may have something to do with their identity, they are not demons or gods, and at the same time they have great power, and when they are most vulnerable, they are naturally the objects of separation.

Soon, the old man answered his doubts about Nephilim.

The heroes buried here are indeed Nephitian, human heroes who sacrificed to protect the place of refuge, but unlike Xue Chen's imagination, they did not die at the hands of gods and demons, but from their own kindred.

That is, the human beings who are also Nephilim.

The old man led Xue Chen and the others to the cemetery, which is the procedure that every adventurer who enters the shelter for the first time should have, and only by understanding the cause and effect of the past can he understand what he is guarding.

What is it that is guarded?

The answer is self-evident, it is a place that the old man calls a shelter.

A place re-established on top of an old sanctuary is the last line of defense against the human world, and if it falls again, the power of demons and angels will come to the world with impunity.

And the enemies they have to face are not only angels, demons, but also Nephiten, who is like them, and the three opposing camps have a common goal, which is to destroy the sanctuary and recreate the balance of the chaotic world.

In Diablo 2, it was Tyrell who shattered the World Stone tainted by Baal, allowing the limitations of angels and demons in the human world to disappear and maintain a temporary balance, and Nephilim, who was hidden in the human race, was revived again.

This is where the plot of Diablo 3 begins.

But in the old man's mouth, the plot seems to have changed here.

After being unleashed by his brother, Diablo, the Lord of Fear, Barr succeeded in stealing the World Stone, which was buried on the sacred mountain of Arret, and using it to build the majestic World Stone Fortress, intending to destroy the world.

And the plot changed here, the human mages and adventurers who rushed over after hearing the news skillfully used the power of the fragments of the soul stone to seal Baal again, and with the help of the world stone that had not been completely polluted, they found the former shelter and re-established it.

The Baal who was still active in the Throne of Destruction was nothing more than a projection created by the fragments of the Soul Stone, a puppet without a soul, and the real Baal's soul was still sealed.

As for why it is set to destroy Baal in order to enter the shelter, it is the limitation of the World Stone itself, although the World Stone is not contaminated by Baal, but it is still more or less affected by him, only by killing Baal's body can the passage to enter here be activated, and it can only be traversed in one direction.

Although the location of the shelter is still human, it is also the center of the barrier-free communication between the higher heavens and the burning hell, so he is always under the threat of war.

In order to protect the passage of the human world and the stone of the world, mages and adventurers continue to pour in from the human world.

The enemy they have to face is not a demon or an angel who is suppressed by the rules, but a state of being.

The fully embodied Diablo may only last a few tens of meters in the human world, but here, he can reach a thousand feet, and a single rage is enough to destroy the shelter.

Mages and adventurers are powerless to fight.

Failure seemed inevitable, and it was at this time that the first Nephilim who was willing to help humanity appeared.

Nephilim himself was human, but many of the Nephilim who lived here looked down on humans at all, and only a few were willing to help them, that is, with their help, the new sanctuary was rebuilt.

And with the passage of time, the Nephilim genes hidden in the blood of the settled mages and adventurers gradually recovered, and they themselves are proud sons of heaven from the mainland, with talents far beyond ordinary people, becoming the queen of Nefitian, and their combat power is not comparable to other Nephilim.

There are more and more humans who have become Nephitian, and the new sanctuary seems to be becoming more and more stable, but it is precisely because of this that the tripartite forces of angels, demons, and Nephiti have a tendency to cooperate and want to destroy the sanctuary again.

It's a pity that the effect of the soul stone fragment to control Baal is getting weaker and weaker, and the strength of the puppet Baal is getting stronger and stronger, and there are only a handful of adventurers who can enter here every year.

Fortunately, after nearly a hundred years of multiplication, the population cycle has reached a balance, and almost all of them are high-level adventurers.

The name of the adventurer has also changed due to the continuous emergence of the strong.

Adventurers above level 65 are called heroes, adventurers above level 75 are called legendary, adventurers above level 85 are called epic, and adventurers above level 95 are mythic.

Above the mythical level, there are also nightmare levels and hell levels.

Nightmare level and hell level are the division of the power to control the rules, once the mythical level of human powerhouses master a complete rule power, then it can be called the nightmare level, and those who master several complete rules and can give it are called hell level.

In terms of strength, the Nightmare level is equivalent to the four second-level demon kings, and the Hell level is equivalent to the five archangels of the high-level Heavenly Angelis Council.

The old man's account is very detailed, and his job is to guide the new adventurers to familiarize themselves with the sanctuary as quickly as possible.

"Will we still hunt demons like we did in Harogas?" Hender didn't know much about dark history, and he didn't understand many of the old man's words, which made him confused, but the questions he asked were very real.

When the old man heard this, he smiled and said, "Yes and no." ”

“…… The death of the demon here is the real death, so there are no demons within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers in the shelter, and if you want to hunt the demons, you must pass through the sea of flames and enter the burning hell, but if we humans rush in, it will be regarded as an invasion by the demons. ”

“…… Therefore, your usual task is to train, and only if you meet the specified requirements will you be allowed to hunt the Fallen and the Rebels in the wild. ”

“…… The Fallen range from ordinary shelter dwellers to powerful angelic warriors, who rarely appear in groups, but each one is more powerful than you can imagine, so don't bring human contempt here. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he handed the five of them to a middle-aged man who was already waiting in the church, judging from the instrument in his hand, it was the Magic Stone, which was used to detect the career level of adventurers.

At first, Xue Chen's test result was a row of mysterious runes, and Kasha refused to tell him the meaning of the runes, until Xue Chen killed Diablo strongly, and learned the meaning of the runes through Akara's mouth.

It means: destruction, peace, justice, the unknown level of physical power.

The Philosopher's Stone could not detect his level, but it simply sensed the energy attributes in his body and expressed them in the form of runes.

In Rogge's camp, Xue Chen was able to be fearless, but here, he had to keep a low profile.

The old man didn't tell them what the highest combat power of the shelter was, but through the information he kept saying, if he could survive under the attack of angels and demons, then at least there would be nightmares.

Based on the strength of the four sub-demon kings, when they joined hands, they would be able to defeat Diablo, and it could be judged that they had at least reached the strength above the stellar level, which was inferior to Xue Chen.

Hender, Lyle, and Ulusen followed the old man's advice and cooperated very well in the level test, and the results were normal, reaching the standard hero level, and they also had a place in the shelter.

Xue Chen and Xiao Ya, on the other hand, politely rejected the old man's suggestion and remained indifferent to his repeated threats.

From the old man's words, I could tell that the place of refuge may not be as pitiful as he said, and if you want to survive in this cruel environment, then there will definitely be no mercy.

Due to the fact that Xue Chen and Xiaoya are adventurers from Harogas, the old man did not make a substantive punishment decision, after all, they can enter here from Harogas, they are both proud sons of the sky, and they can't offend a group for the sake of the two of them.

Inside the shelter, factional battles are equally fierce, with the aborigines, the descendants of the first adventurers, and the adventurers who have suddenly appeared in the last decade or so intertwined.

And the old man is the descendant of the first adventurers, and he is also the core force that guards the World Stone.

Regarding Xue Chen's non-cooperation, the old man also vaguely told him that the shelter would not support idlers, everyone had to contribute to the protection of the shelter, and adventurers who obtained the career rating would get more privileges.
