271st Nataya
Edward's teleportation sent the two to a hidden camp near Lugoin. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 At this time, everyone had already returned to the camp, watching vigilantly at the place where Edward and the black-armored woman appeared, and they all relaxed when they saw that it was Edward.
"Wow, what a boss, you can bring back a beautiful woman after a trip. Milhouse whistled and laughed, "Look at this beauty's figure, it's too tall for us gnomes, but in the eyes of you humans, it's the best, isn't it?"
"Yes, the superb. Yudilis muttered.
"Well, now is not the time for jokes. Edward smiled wryly and said, "Now that the four demons of Hell have gathered in Lugoin: Baal, Diablo, Duriel, and Andariel on the run, can you imagine how we should deal with this situation?"
"What! Barr has been rescued!" Cairn exclaimed.
Edward briefly recounted the conversation between the four demons, and his companions fell into a solemn atmosphere.
"Is this your companion? Ever since she appeared in this place, the woman in black armor had been vigilantly observing her surroundings, and only after seeing that these people were not hostile to her, did she relax and ask.
"Yes, they are members of our Demon Hunter Knights. Edward introduced the group.
"No wonder I've never heard of the Knights of the Demon Hunters. The black-armored woman sat down with difficulty and said, "I originally thought that since you are called a knight order, there should be a lot of people, but I didn't expect that there are only so many people, and there are actually old people and children among them. ”
"I need to correct a little, this lady. Before Millhouse was angry, Kane retorted, "We are not simple old men and children, I am Dika Kane, the last heir of the Heradim Church, and I know a lot of things. And this kid in your mouth, he's a powerful mage. ”
"It's great!" added Milhouse proudly.
"Well, it's me who was rude, my name is Nataya, a hired assassin. Nataya saluted gracefully, "I've heard of Dika Kane, but I've never heard of the Demon Hunter Knights. ”
"Now, then, let me, the old man, briefly announce to you the great deeds of the Demon Hunter Knights. "It's a legend in the West, not long ago, Edward Lee, a powerful paladin, led his companions to rid most of the demons in Canduras and successfully recovered the Herradic Monastery, which was occupied by Andariel, one of the seven demons of hell. Now, the once-sacred monastery has been restored to its glory, returning to the arms of the Blind Sisterhood and the headquarters of the Knights of the Demon Hunters. ”
"That's it?" said Nataya, shrugging her shoulders and wondering.
"Young man, you can never imagine how difficult it is if you haven't experienced it yourself!" Kane was unhappy with Nataya's reaction, "Before this, there were demons everywhere, and now, it's hard to see a demon there, and that's the greatest feat!"
"Alright, Kane, I think you can become a bard instead. Edward made a rare joke, "Now is not the time for us to sing the praises of virtue, we are going to face the four demons occupied by Rugoin." ”
Nataya looked at Edward's gaze, full of appreciation and admiration, and she said bluntly, "No, I'm interested in this saga. To be honest, I'm tired of the life of an Assassin and I'm planning to become a witcher instead, maybe the Knights of the Demon Hunter is a good choice, isn't it?"
"We are always open to people with lofty ideals to join us. "But before I do that, I want to know where the survivors of Rugoin are, as the demons say, now that we're at a disadvantage, we need their help." ”
"They are hidden in a magical place, in the lair of a demon summoner. "Nataya didn't hide it, apparently she had completely trusted Edward and the others," the demon knew that one of the entrances to this place was in Rugoin's palace. ”
"That place is full of powerful mana, and the master there has made all the demons who enter that place under his control, so they can resist the attacks of a large number of demons and take refuge there safely. ”
"So there's another entrance there?" Edward asked, sensing what Nataya meant.
"Yes, there is also an entrance, right where the seven ancient tombs of Talasha are located. "That's a mysterious portal opened by my employer. ”
"Your employer?" Kane asked, as if thinking of something, "the one who can open a portal in a place like the tomb of Tarasya must be someone from the wizarding branch of our Heradim Sect, right?"
"No, a witch from South Isu, to be exact. "The witch named Shara hired me to rescue her disciple Serena, and then I failed and was rescued by your leader. ”
"It's impossible, the witches and wizards of Nan Isu all use magic to fight, but as far as I know, they have no dealings with wizards. Kane wondered, "How could that witch get to the tomb of Talasya? and according to the demon, Diablo used the witch named Serena to free Baal!"
"I don't know. Nataya smiled bitterly, "As an assassin, although he is an expert in inquiring about information, there are many taboos. That's why I don't like being an Assassin. ”
"Can you take us to that place, then?" asked Edward.
"Of course, but first you have to do something, righteous Demon Hunter Edward, you can't hurt the master there. Nataya said.
"Why would you think I'm going to hurt the master there? Edward wondered.
"Because the owner there, you may not have heard of it, but Kane must have heard of it, his name is Herathan. ”
"This can't be! Heradon is long dead!" Cairn exclaimed, "that one of the most eminent mages of the Heradim Order, Harathan, who lived in the age of legends, how could he have survived until now......?"
"That's the one, the mage who studied demon summoning and is still alive and well, now taking possession of another of your old friends. ”
"If it's the legendary one, then it's possible for him to create that magical shelter. Kane suddenly said, "Who is my other old friend?"
"Think of your days in Tristram, the mage hero you knew. ”
"Oh...... It's him, and it's a sad end. Kane lamented.
"I can promise you. Edward patted Kane's thin shoulder and said to Nataya, "But are you sure that the demons in that sanctuary are all controlled by this mage?"
"Of course, I can guarantee that, so for now, please follow me. ”
