Diablo Destruction

A dead gray world, this was my first feeling after stepping into Tristram. The entire sky was gray, and the earth was also dyed with a layer of gray dimness, with broken stone walls and incomplete towers. The fallen carved pillars and stone carvings seem to be telling the story of its past prosperity, but the withered bones on the ground, the blood-stained earth, and the cold wind whistling by are so sad - the fall of prosperity. , the destruction of civilization, everything is accusing the hell clan of sins.

The city is full of collapsed ruins and dead tree trunks, and there is not a single soul. No, maybe I shouldn’t say that. Those skeleton archers hiding in the dark, jealous, hating, and vowing to destroy all living objects are very... May have been a member of this place for a long time.

After quickly circling the entire city, the first task Kane gave me was completed - Tristram had completely fallen, turned into a pile of ruins, and became A paradise for monsters. I hope Kane can accept this reality. As wise as he is, he should have expected such a result long ago. It's just because of the stubbornness of an old man that he is still unwilling to give up even the last bit of hope.

After calculating the time, it seemed that nearly half an hour had passed. There was still plenty of time to cut, so I continued walking towards the center of the city, hoping not to encounter the former Paladin that Kane mentioned - Rogge. Griswold, the most outstanding blacksmith in the camp, after all, this is not a game. With his strength, he might have escaped by then, and he might live in seclusion somewhere. I pray like this, but I really don’t want to Let the poor old man Kane receive more blows. If he loses his mind and stretches his legs, I will definitely die miserably.

But the reality is cruel. In the square in the center of the city, the tall and muscular figure like a huge beast still came into my eyes. His eyes were already cloudy, exuding a lifeless smell, and his whole body was covered in... A layer of black gas surrounds him, which is a sign that it has been completely corroded and controlled by the power of hell. His original soul has been destroyed long ago. Even the arrival of the highest-level angel has no other way but to purify him.

Griswold, who had completely fallen, had completely lost all other abilities except for the remaining strength of his body. The erosion of hell gave him the ability to curse. He accidentally deepened the curse by his injuries, and then was hit again. A punch would have been a lot of fun. However, under the wheel battle between me and the summoned pet, he finally let out a scream of relief. His ferocious expression gradually softened, and his strong body quickly shriveled up. Finally, it was like a relief. Like an old man, he slowly fell to the ground with a smile on his face.

Griswold is not a projection, and his body will naturally not disappear. Of course, it doesn't matter what is exploded. I looked at his body, hesitated, and threw it into the inventory. Khan... nothing Come to think of it, the inventory can actually store corpses, which is so fucking nonsense.

However, when I accidentally saw the properties of Griswold's corpse, I vomited three liters of blood.

Griswold's body

+3 strength

+3 stamina

The corpse of emotion was originally a piece of equipment similar to a small amulet. Should I embezzle it? Forget it, it looks weird in the inventory.

In the last few minutes, I finally stepped into the return portal and returned to the stone wilderness, and the red door behind me also closed shortly after.

When I returned to Rogge Camp and told Kane about Tristram's situation, his face instantly turned very pale. After taking out Griswold's body and looking at his already pale face, which seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant, I really felt a little guilty.

"Dear Wu, I'm really grateful for your help. I finally got a wish fulfilled."

After a long time, Kane, who was in tears, raised his head and looked at me sincerely.

"If so, it would be an honor for me to serve Lord Kane. Please forgive me and be patient."

I'm about to cry too. Master Kane, Master Kane, please don't let your mind wander, otherwise Akara and the others will have to chop me up alive.

Fortunately, Kane seemed to still have an unfulfilled wish and was not in a hurry to commit suicide. He walked slowly into the house with weak steps, and then tinkered inside for a while before taking out a delicate box.

"Dear Wu, I'm afraid there is nothing on me that you like. The things in this box have been with me since I was a young scholar. Although they are not good things, they are still hope it is of help to you."

Kane caressed the box gently, like his own child, with a little kindness in his sad eyes, and finally handed it to me firmly.

Just the exquisite box carved from black sandalwood is already worth a lot of money, and the box even exudes a touch of magic. OMG, is there a legendary artifact inside? I took Kane's box without any pretense. Seeing his depressed and tired look, I wisely chose to resign.

After bidding farewell to Kane, I couldn't wait to return to the hotel room, closed the door, and drew the curtains. Well, I had to cover it with a quilt. The light of the artifact was very dazzling, and it would be bad if others discovered it. , good things should be enjoyed by yourself first.

After everything was ready, I carefully opened the small box. Weapon? accessories? Clothes kit?

Uh... What's inside the box is a dark soft-cover book. It's a thick book. It doesn't look like there's anything out of the ordinary. Not to mention the radiant light, there's not even a hint of magic in the book. , however, after the experience of Griswold's Corpse, I no longer dare to underestimate these items that are beyond the game. When I opened the properties of this book, it was as expected.

Kane's Book of Wisdom

+2 skill points

+10 energy

+20% cast speed

Although the attributes are still far behind those of artifacts, I am already very excited - I was thinking recently about whether to allocate attribute points to energy, but I didn't expect such an attribute to appear, and the casting speed is even faster than that of a job changer. The coveted attribute, and a full 20%, is enough to reduce the casting speed of my current lava rock by almost a second.

However, how should it be used? Is it like a small amulet that can take effect just by putting it in the inventory? I tried putting the book in the inventory, and sure enough, my energy immediately increased by 10 points. As for the +2-point skill, I opened the skill bar and saw that the available skill points also increased by 2 points. So that's what it means. , items that add skill points, this is an attribute that only dark gold equipment has!

Kudos to you, Kane!

However, since it has condensed Kane's life's hard work and essence, there must be something else in it. I took out the book again, unfolded it carefully, and read through it slowly. Soon after, my face gradually turned pale. Become solemn.

…

I don’t know how long it took, but I took a deep breath, rubbed my sore eyes, and saw that it was already late at night. I had watched it for more than ten hours without knowing it.

I carefully closed the book, placed it gently on a box with a magic circle to isolate the air, closed the lid, and then carefully put it into the inventory space - it really brought me too much Surprise and horror! Compared with the content in the book, its own attributes are nothing at all. This book can well be called a book of artifacts.

The first half of the book records the humanities, geography, and customs of the Dark Continent. It can be regarded as a dark encyclopedia. However, these are not of much use to me, so I only glanced at them. The important thing is that there are also Kane's research for most of his life, including gems, runes, professions, skills, equipment and weapons, etc., really opened my eyes. You know, I haven't played Diablo for several years, and the content in it has long been I have almost forgotten about it, and Kane's book is like a dark professional website, covering five categories and eight categories, and there are even some strange magic words in it, which made me wake up like a dream - —As a former Dark fan, I have even forgotten this. If I hadn’t read Kane’s book, I really wouldn’t have remembered it.

And in the last part of the book, it describes in detail the doomsday battle between the demons and the battle of original sin that plunged the Dark Continent into war. It is more clear and thorough than what Akara said, and goes straight to the essence. The unheard-of secrets, the mystery of Tal Rasha, and some secrets of the angel clan are all involved in it, which made me break out in cold sweat - it seems that I, no, all adventurers, even The entire Dark Continent has been involved in a huge vortex of conspiracy. Presumably the big shots have some understanding of this. I wonder if they have any way to deal with it. At this moment, I extremely hope that those The leaders' IQs can soar by hundreds or even thousands, allowing the Dark Continent to escape this thousand-year vortex.

However, in the paragraph about Tal Rasha, a term in it caught my attention. Yes, it was the Horadric Box. According to Kane's guess, the reason why Tal Rasha was so powerful was that it could even compete with the three major powers in the end. The fight against the devil is inseparable from this treasure box.

Khan, I originally took it for granted that the Horadric Treasure Box was a public item just like the one in the game. As long as I arrived in Lugaoin, I would give it away for free, and everyone would have one. Oh my god! ! My perfect gem! My orange equipment!
