Chapter 96: Andariel!
The crisis was temporarily lifted, but the Rog camp still did not let down its vigilance.
In order to prepare for the impending crisis, Rocky smelted all the hell tools he had acquired to fortify the camp.
This not only won the favor of Flavi and Akara, but even made everyone in the camp grateful to Dade. It's a pity that this move made Kidd, a profiteer, suffer. But fortunately, Rocky promised that in the future, except for the dark gold magic equipment, other weapons would be handed over to him to handle, which calmed Kidd's tangled heart.
Lodge, who was patrolling the camp at night, was suddenly summoned by Flavi into the Caravan of the Sage of Kane.
When Kane saw Rocky coming, his worried look couldn't help but be soothed, and he opened his mouth to call out to Flavi, who was about to leave, and after letting the two sit down, he sighed and said: "I went to check on the situation of the monastery, and it is only a matter of time before the defense line holding the Toma Mountains falls, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the blind nuns will shift their focus to Tristram." ”
"Why Tristram?" Flavi asked, surprised.
"Because there is the most magnificent Church of the Holy Light in the entire Western Continent!" Kane's eyes suddenly deepened, "Only the Holy Light can restrain the demons of hell, the cathedral can condense the power of faith to the greatest extent and transform it into holy water of salvation, and the equipment blessed by the holy water has terrifying damage to the demons, since the monastery cannot be saved, then the cathedral will naturally become the last bastion of the blind nuns against demons...... They were right, but Tristram Cathedral was the one that worried me the most. ”
Flavi couldn't help but be amazed when he heard this, "Sage, why is that?" The demonic lair beneath the cathedral has long been cleared by us, and even the entire catacombs have been blown up by us, is there anything wrong with this? ”
Rocky listened to the conversation quietly, and at this time, he glanced at the Kane Sage who looked a little bitter, and said slowly: "I'm afraid, the reason why the Sage is worried is because that person is probably coming back, right?" ”
Hearing this, Kane's expression when he looked at Rocky couldn't help but flash a hint of essence, and then nodded lightly.
"Yes, it's him, he's back."
Flavi watched them playing dumb riddles with each other, and was about to ask, when Kane got up on crutches and walked out slowly, and before leaving the caravan, he said softly: "Rocky, when you are back to the camp, come to the caravan of Reshander." ”
Flavi looked at Lodge several times, but he shook his head and stopped him, obviously there was something the sage didn't need to tell Flavi. After all, if the whereabouts of the Dark Wanderer were revealed, the panic would be unparalleled.
Outside the camp, Rocky saw that Kidd was directing the young people to smelt their weapons, he walked over, patted Kidd on the shoulder, and asked, "How is the situation now?" ”
"When the smelting of this batch of weapons is completed, the defense of this urn city will be upgraded to a higher level." Kidd's eyebrows fluttered, and there was no greater joy than his own habitat.
Rocky smiled and nodded, just about to turn around. I heard Kidd say with a little surprise on his face: "Man, I missed today's monster siege, I didn't expect you to have such a big change." Can you tell me what the hell is going on? ”
"If you're serious, I don't know why that's happening. But all I can tell you is that I'm stronger again. Rocky smiled and went to inspect the camp again.
Kidd shook his head as he pondered Rocky's words, then looked at Rocky's back as if he were looking at a bond that was growing in value.
After inspecting the camp, Rocky stepped into the alchemy caravan that Reshander had left behind when he went to Tristram.
At this time, Kane seemed to have waited for Lochido, and after seeing him sit down, he couldn't help but say slowly: "In the last century of the first millennium, 912 to be exact, Diablo was imprisoned in the Soul Stone by a group of Hradim monks led by Jered Cain, and the War of Original Sin ended. The monks buried the soul stone in a cave near the Tershand River in Canduras (Western Continent). On top of it, a monastery of Hradim was built to guard the network of tombs that spread like blood.
In the years following the establishment of the monastery, the town of Tristram sprung up around it, and its inhabitants had forgotten about the demonic presence. Unfortunately, over time, the number of Hradim slowly decreased, and by 200 years after the War of Original Sin, Hradim had become a legend and forgotten, and the monasteries that had lost their monks were gradually abandoned.
At this time, Leoric, the lord of the East, came to Tristram and proclaimed himself king, and later converted the dilapidated and abandoned monastery of Hradim into a Zakarum cathedral......
However, King Leorik was betrayed by his closest advisor, Archbishop Lazarus, who secretly freed Diablo from captivity in the crypt of the monastery.
The freed Dialeblo attempted to take possession of the mighty King Leoric, but Diablo failed, and King Leoric was driven mad by the evil powers of the Dark Destruction God that corrupted his soul. The mad king began to kill his people and declared war on his former ally, the military power of Arch.
Chaos is spreading rapidly in this war-torn land. Shortly thereafter, King Leoric was killed by his commander Lachdanan, and his son was taken over by Diablo, becoming the new host of Diablo.
Archbishop Lazarus, who has taken refuge in the Diablo God and become an agent of evil, leads a group of residents deep into the cathedral in the name of seeking refuge. But this is again a devil's plot, and the archbishop abandons the inhabitants to be transformed into bloodthirsty demon butchers.
With this as a start, the inhabitants of Tristram began to flee. If they had shown their loyalty to the mad King Leorik and had not turned away from their king, now they had no reason to stay here.
Only a handful of the inhabitants remained, as they welcomed a hero.
The hero defeated the Demon Butcher and later met me. I instructed him to go deep into the labyrinth of the Crypts, kill Leorik, who became Skeletron, and end the life of the evil Archbishop Lazarus.
The lone hero endured hardships and finally reached Hell and defeated Diablo who was entrenched there.
Unfortunately, the hero foolishly thought that he could trap Diablo inside him in the same way that Ta Rasha imprisoned Baal, so he embedded the demon's soul stone in his flesh......"
Speaking of this, Sage Kane couldn't help but close his eyes in pain.
After listening to the history of the birth of the Dark Wanderer, Rocky couldn't help but show a hint of sarcasm on his face, "As you can imagine, he was corrupted by demons and became a walking corpse. Paid for his blind stupidity. I have no intention of erasing his merits, but his actions have brought even greater disaster to the whole world......"
Rocky's words are not good, but they are undoubtedly true. If it weren't for the arrogant personality of this dark wanderer, a series of things would not have happened.
Sage Kane nodded lightly and said, "Indeed, as you said. He paid for his stupidity. When Diablo was slain in the depths of Tristram and the hero smiled triumphantly in the labyrinth beneath the town, we held a massive celebration in the town for days. But the brief lull lasted only a few weeks. Our hero is becoming more and more apathetic, distancing himself from the rest of the inhabitants and seemingly stepping into a dark, brooding depression. I thought it was just his inability to put the pain he had suffered in the underground labyrinth behind him. But as each day passed, the hero's suffering deepened. I remember him waking up in the dark several times and yelling loudly, and each time he mentioned 'Oriental'. Soon after, he completely disappeared into Tristram, and the situation intensified when a group of demons attacked Tristram. The Western Continent, which had been shrouded in sunlight, was once again cloudy. My only concern now is that the hero has been completely controlled by Diablo and has become the new body of the Demon King. If Diablo, who has acquired the body of a hero and gained more power, makes a comeback, then the entire continent will be scorched earth...... And Tristram must bear the brunt of the brunt......"
"Then what does the sage mean......" Rocky knew very well that Kane, who had said so much, must have begged him.
Just as the Kane Sage was about to speak, he heard Araka's familiar voice sound.
"I'll answer that question for the sage!"
Even Kane didn't expect Akara's appearance, but at this moment, the sage still hoped that she would bring back a glimmer of good news about the monastery, although he knew that such news was just an extravagant hope.
"Sage, I know what you want to ask, the current situation in the monastery is terrible." Akara said with a wry smile, her purple jewel-like eyes with an undisguised trace of exhaustion, "Now that the monastery has been captured, the Sisters have moved to Tristram. Although the demon's attack was ferocious, we managed to hold the last stronghold. ”
Everything was as expected by Kane and Rocky, who had been talking about whether Tristram would be able to hold on not long ago.
"Akara, what do you want Rocky to help you do?" Kane asked with a sigh.
Akara's purple eyes shifted to Rocky's body, and he said slowly, "Tristram City will have a hard time ensuring the safety of those residents in the next battle with the demons. That's why I'd like to move all the survivors of the Western Continent and the people of Tristram to Camp Rog, so I'd like to expand the teleportation station. ”
Rocky nodded in understanding, and then asked, "What should I do?" ”
Hearing Rocky's disguised promise, Akara couldn't help but be overjoyed and said: "The 'shattered' magic gem buried under the small station can only maintain a single teleportation, and if you want to increase the teleportation capacity, you must improve the quality of the gem and upgrade the magic circle to a five-star mangheng." I hope you can find six complete magic gems so that I can increase the station's teleportation to 100 people. Of course, it would be great if you could get a 'flawless' or even 'perfect' grade of fine gemstones! ”
After hearing this, before Rocky could say anything, Kane raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "You can't even make up six gems?" “
Akara looked stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "To tell you the truth, I also made a plan before I came to the camp, because ......"
Rocky looked at Akara with an unhappy expression at this moment, and said, "Because you didn't expect that Camp Rog would survive the demon's attack. ”
The bitterness on Akara's face became even stronger, and he looked at Rocky with a little guilt, "That's true, I thought that the best outcome would be enough for Camp Rog to be able to hold back the demon's attack." I didn't expect Rocky to be able to defeat the demon army. The monastery fell under the constant ferocity of demonic attacks, and we were unable to bring out a large amount of financial results when we left. Even our blacksmith Chasi has lost her magically forged hammer. ”
Hearing this, Kane sniffed out something unusual and asked, "Do you know why they are so persistent?" ”
Akara's expression became cautious at the moment, with a hint of disbelief.
"A sister saw Andariel on the fourth floor of the monastery......"
"What?!" Hearing this, Kane suddenly stood up in shock.
Rocky sat firmly in his chair, his eyes flashing with a terrifying gleam. PS: Ask for recommendations, ask for collections!
