Erica and Rocky, two beautiful figures, snuggled together on the bench, really feasting Zhang Long's eyes. Counting www.biquge.info, Rocky is much older than Erica, and his experience is naturally richer, but the difference in height is there, and he leans on Erica's shoulder softly, and the scene seems to be both harmonious and a little weird.

"Most of the songs I sing are written by him. Ge Ji smiled and said to Zhang Long, "In the past few years, I have also tried to write, but the talent is not there at all, so I gave up. 」

"Besides......" Rocky murmured dreamily, "I can't compare to your talent, and if I sing my songs myself, I don't think anyone will listen to them......

Yes, Rocky's voice is so hoarse that it's completely broken, and he can barely even speak out loud, which is really embarrassing...... However, Rao's case also made Zhang Long's jaw drop: although it could be inferred from the sound of Rocky's flute from time to time that he had some musical talent, he never imagined that he would be such a talented songwriter. To be able to write a song of that level requires a very deep background, which is not at all something that an ordinary slave who fights in an iron cage and black fist can do.

"Looks like you don't know anything about him......" Erica saw Long Zhang's confusion and turned to Rocky and asked, "Can you tell him about it?"

Rocky looked up and nodded slightly, "Well, he's a trusted friend. 」

The three of them chatted like this, and Rocky's bitter past was revealed: it turned out that he was an Amazon foundling who had been a slave for as long as he could remember. Over the long years, he has been resold many times, and has traveled to almost every corner of Saint-Hugh Ari, tasting the warmth and coldness of the world. Luckily, he was a brilliant and inquisitive man who was able to learn the local language and script at every turn, and to read every book he could. What a rare quality for someone of his stature......

Hearing this, Zhang Long couldn't help but admire it sincerely, but Rocky winked playfully and said with a smile, "This is our secret, don't tell anyone else that I know how to read!"

Zhang Long nodded hurriedly and asked again, "What about ...... How did you meet?"

"It's a long story...... Erica looked at the sky with half-closed eyes, "My adoptive father and I spent most of our time in seclusion in a rainforest on the outskirts of Kurast City, known as the 'Great Wetland', and when I was ten years old, I was hiding cats in the bushes with the little natives when I suddenly heard the sound of a flute coming from the river, and I was attracted to it. 」

Lodge added, "Actually, it was the slave ship that carried me that ran aground and sank, and when I drifted ashore, I got tired of walking along the river in search of food, and I sat down to rest. At that time, it was only a wooden flute, and the timbre of this bone flute was far worse than the current one......

The next story sounds very warm, basically the eldest sister plays with the little sister and writes a lot of beautiful songs for her. To Zhang Long's surprise, Erica's adoptive father, Shande, although an undead wizard who is not tolerated by the world, is friends with a paladin in Curast. That paladin is Erica's initiation teacher for singing: Sakaram is similar to the Catholic Church on Earth, both have a large choir, and it takes a very high singing skill to sing the holy chant well, and that paladin is said to have trained a lot of excellent singers for Kurast, so Erica's basic singing skills are very solid, and it is no wonder that she can be a blockbuster in the "Faint to Death" bar!

Later, it seems that a lot of bad things have happened, and Erica and Rocky don't seem to want to say more. In short, the "big sister" Rocky was captured by the Kurast army, the paladin was gone, and the little natives became crazy, bloodthirsty and no longer friendly. The father and daughter had to hide in the deepest part of the vast wetland, living in complete isolation for a long time, living in penance every day, and improving their combat skills a lot. It wasn't until nearly two years ago that a mysterious necromancer made a surprise visit that they made their way out of the wetlands and rediscovered the light of day, traveling as bounty hunters and singers.

Speaking of this, Zhang Long finally got the opportunity to ask the question that had been bothering him for a long time: "What is the difference between a necromancer and a necromancer, and what is the relationship between the two?"

"Haha, a lot of people can't tell the difference......" Rocky laughed, "Necromancers are all very old-fashioned, necromancers, but there are all kinds of people!"

Under Erica and Rocky's patient explanations, it dawned on Long Zhang: First of all, as Blizzard's official canon says, the "Necromancer" was the first sect to use necromancy, and their ancestor was named "Lasma", who was rumored to be a disciple of the giant dark dragon "Tagio". As the heir of Rasma, the necromancer is very strict and low-key, following a rigid dogma with a mission to protect the balance of St. Hugh Yari. They are not only spellcasters, but also excellent martial arts masters, especially in dagger fighting, which is simply superb. According to Erika, Sander and her father and daughter joined forces to surrender after less than three moves under the necromancer's knife!

The earliest "necromancers" were a group of necromancers who could not stand the constraints of the canon. They deviated from the teachings of Rasma, broke away from the Order, and went into the world in pursuit of personal values. Necromancers have given up almost all of their martial arts training to become out-and-out spellcasters, throwing the necromancer's dagger of life out of the clouds and using special wands to increase the power of their spells. These necromancers are scattered all over the world, and they are the ones who have taken in apprentices from generation to generation, and it is they who have "carried forward" the necromancy that was originally too low-key to be known.

Unlike necromancers, necromancers do not have any unified order or guild, and are large but loosely organized and of varying quality. There are both high-born and well-educated masters like Shande, and scum with poor conduct. And according to the stereotype of the people, it is obvious that the latter is the majority, coupled with the mystery and horror of the necromancy itself, both the common people and those in power are respectful of them.

At this point, the mystery in Zhang Long's heart was finally solved: it turned out that the necromancer was to the necromancer, just like the mystic was to the mage, because the latter had a very different style. At the same time, the contradiction between the in-game experience and the Blizzard canon set has been solved: Diablo II is the most popular class in the series, and almost every player knows that all kinds of short wands are their best weapons. However, in the official canonical books, novels, and comics, it is clearly stated that the "dagger" is the second life of the necromancer. This great contradiction has troubled Zhang Long and other party members who have been investigating the root cause for a long, long time, and it is only today that the original cause has really been clarified. After many years of questions being answered, Zhang Long was in a good mood, and couldn't help but sigh with some excitement: "Alas, it would be nice if there was wine!"

"Ahh......hh It's okay, you can drink it yourself, it's boring," Erica laughed, "Neither of us sisters drinks alcohol. 」

Rocky nodded, his eyes flashing cutely, and echoed, "Yes, drinking is wrong. 」

Zhang Long was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say. Erica casually pulled the pipe out of her pocket, "But we have other fun, shall we try it?"

"Uh......" Zhang Long was a little embarrassed, he really hadn't smoked before. When he went to school before the crossing, he was always beaten by those school bullies with cigarettes for no reason, and the rejection of the smoking instinct under the psychological shadow. But the last time I saw Erica smoking a pipe, it seemed quite charming, maybe it was the effect of beauty......

As soon as Erica took out the small bag containing the tobacco shreds and opened it, Rocky's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Oh my God, authentic Naland tobacco!" Zhang Long, who was familiar with the game's dialogues, was also shocked when he heard this, and immediately leaned over: "What, is this the famous Lu Gaoin's specialty?"

Although it was just a not-so-eye-catching NPC dialogue, Zhang Long remembered it clearly: Lu Gaoyin's treasure "Nalande Tobacco", which haunted the famous profiteer Kede, must be seen no matter what!

Sure enough, this "Nalande tobacco" is not ordinary at first glance, the fluffy tobacco has long been dried and sun-cooked, but it is as soft as fluff, exuding a unique aroma of tobacco, mixed with a cool mint flavor. Erica pinched a handful into her pipe, smiled and said, "Looks like you know a little, but I've soaked them in peppermint oil, and they may not be to men's taste. With that, he snapped his fingers, and in an instant a light smoke floated out of his pipe. Zhang Long froze even more, staring at Erica taking a puff of smoke before he spoke, "You...... Are you a mage?"

Erica playfully shoved her pipe into Rocky's mouth before she smiled back, "Could it be that the adopted daughter of a necromancer can only be a necromancer?"

"No, no......" Zhang Long waved his hand again and again: "I'm just...... I'm surprised......

"My memories began in the 'Blue Aisu' Mage Guild. Erica's voice was a little melancholy, "It wasn't the path I chose, so I ran away. It's ironic, it's annoying, but the spells they forced me to learn are still being used......

Zhang Long's mind flew out of the sky again: "Blue Aisu", that is the faction to which the second-generation female mage belongs in "Diablo"! According to Blizzard's setting, the spell training of this faction is indeed as Erika said, starting from infancy. The elders of the "Blue Aisu" guild searched for a talented enough baby girl in the territory of the Kakistan Empire, spent a lot of money to take her from her home, and trained her to become a powerful mage. Although there is no further official information, I want to know that it is a very proud thing to be able to enter the eyes of Lan Aisu, but the young Erica resolutely escaped from the guild, this little girl's temper is really not ordinary stubborn!

Just as he was sighing, the chief of the guard, Rixat, came. He walked up to Erica and saluted respectfully, "Miss, Master Sander and Master Isenhard want you and Long Zhang to go back to the council chamber. 」

Erica reluctantly stood up and looked at Rocky reluctantly, "I'm sorry...... We...... There's a battle to fight......

"We all have wars to fight. Rocky spat out the smoke ring, returned the pipe to the singer, and muttered.
