Chapter 029: Black Heart

After browsing the information of [Instrument Soul - Corpse Fire], Su Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, and a strange emotion suddenly emerged in his heart:

It seems that in the game Diablo, all the plots present a desperate and oppressive darkness: the righteous warriors rush to the source of evil from the burning hell one after another, and even defeat them for a time, but in the end, there is still no change. Darkness remains, and the evil power of the source of evil still pervades, corrupting the souls of those who have defeated them, and eventually luring them into evil minions.

In the sanctuary area, it seems that the story of "a boy with a sword will eventually become an evil dragon" is endlessly staged.

This is the most desperate part of this story, even the most noble people, in the process of fighting evil for a long time, after all, can not resist the temptation of evil, and finally degenerate into the object of their once spurned and crusaded, and are killed as evil again by brave people like them, and watch the brave stand on their corpse and grow scales... Complete a reincarnation.

Su Hao breathed a sigh of relief and expelled these strange thoughts from his mind. I seem to be a little too sentimental, and I forget that I am actually a contractor.

As a contractor, what you have to do is to complete the task and strengthen yourself, rather than really putting yourself into the role of a brave man. It is true that he has played the role of a brave man and has been walking on the way to eliminate evil, but eliminating evil is only a means to become stronger, not an end. As a contractor, the first thing to do is to have a clear understanding of your own positioning, stay rational, and avoid meaningless emotional investment.

Immediately afterward, the apprentice held the 3 [Shattered Diamonds] and learned the following information:

[Shattered Diamond] ×3

[Introduction: Like runes, gems are items that can be inlaid in, but they are not artificially made, but naturally formed.] Gemstones are distinguished by color and fineness, and different colors of gemstones contain different kinds of effects, and the higher the color of the gemstone, the stronger the effect. The current gemstone color is diamond. The fineness is crumbled. 】

[Rarity: Blue.] 】

[Quality: Average.] 】

[Mosaic Effect 1: Inlaid on the weapon, increases damage to undead spirits by 20% / damage to demons by 12%; Embedded on armor, increases resistance to fire, electricity, ice, and poison damage by 6% (the inlay effect cannot be stacked with multiple mounts). 】

[Inlay Effect 2: The inlaid item will turn a silver-gray color (the color change effect cannot be overwritten.] 】

[Comment: This is a naturally born magic material, which concentrates the magic of nature and continues to absorb the power of nature in the sanctuary, thus forming a magic gem with a setting effect.] 】

As for the remaining valuables [a money bag full of gold coins (500 gold coins)], there is no need to say more.

The apprentice placed the three broken diamonds, the fiery soul of the corpse, five identification scrolls, and a total of 700 gold coins on the ground, and then looked at the two brothers, Paladin and the Barbarian, and said with a smile:

"Rank, we eliminated the corpses and fire, and it was only a matter of time before the evil cave was destroyed, this can be said to be a big victory for Rog's camp, and the rank can also be called a high level of hard work. Now that the loot is here, we can discuss how to distribute it. ”

Paladin stepped forward, symbolically took a gold coin, and said lightly: "I am only here for revenge, and as for the loot, I have no interest, let alone qualifications." The reason why I took this gold coin was just to tell my brother that I had been here and I did. ”

Paladin's move surprised the other four present, for it was not all ascetic nobles who fought against evil, they were also mortal beings who needed equipment, wine, and bread. Paladin was clearly an outlier, and he truly deserved to be called "noble".

The apprentices admired Paladin, not only for his rich combat experience and adaptability to complex battlefield situations, but also for his character. In this age of refined self-interest, nobility seems to have become a derogatory term, but the apprentice knows deeply that he would like to fight alongside such a person if he could, or at least he would defend your back to the death.

In order to win over Paladin, the apprentice immediately picked up a broken diamond and handed it to the noble paladin. Paladin was about to excuse himself, but the apprentice said sincerely:

"A diamond is eternal, a forever, brother, your noble conduct deserves to receive this diamond, and I hope to use it to commemorate our friendship forever."

Paladin looked at the diamond in a daze, silent, but his slightly trembling right hand betrayed his heart... It is evident that the apprentice once again impressed the man with his sincerity.

He hesitated for a long time, but finally took the diamond, and at the same time, his favorability soared again, and he took a big step towards the next step of trust.

Seeing that Paladin had obtained a diamond, Howling Wind and Exx looked at each other, and could only step forward and carefully take a broken diamond.

Of course, they knew that their combat contribution was actually quite limited, except for a "heavy blow" from Ex that broke the corpse's angry neck, and a "shout" from Xiaofeng to increase Su Hao's defense, there was no more effect. So before they took the diamond, they glanced at Su Hao in a panic. Su Hao smiled generously and waved his hand, "Take it." ”

Seeing this, the two barbarian brothers immediately picked up the diamond and made a gesture towards Su Hao with one hand holding their chest and bowing slightly, which is the advanced etiquette of the barbarian tribe, representing great respect and gratitude.

After distributing the loot, the five of them entered the evil cave together, and after searching carefully three or four times, they determined that there was not a single living monster inside, and at this point, they were finally able to announce that the mission of clearing the evil cave was successfully completed.

The two barbarian brothers then broke away from the group and bid farewell to the three.

As for Paladin, this matter was over, and he wanted to leave, but with the great efforts of his apprentice, he agreed to go with him and continue the next crusade against evil.

After seeing the two barbarian brothers leave, the remaining three went deeper into the cave again and came to the stone chamber in the deepest part.

And according to the information left behind by the corpse's fire, this stone chamber is where it usually lives, and there is a treasure related to the undead power buried inside.

The area of this stone chamber is large, and it is not easy to excavate, but fortunately, with the T-1 Terminator, equipped with the Prospector's drill bit, the excavation is much more efficient.

I don't know how long it took, but the Terminators dug three feet into the ground and finally dug up something.

Deep underground, inside a glassware, the apprentice finds a beating black heart.

And around this heart, there are countless corpses, the flesh of which has completely rotted, and only the white bones remain, which are coiled around the black heart, like humble slaves, guarding their masters.
