A common tavern that connects all fantasy worlds

Issandra then said, isn't it just money? She can get a salary several times that amount in any country on the mainland just by virtue of the name of this "witch".

Even during the eradication of wild monsters during this period, several people found a lot of money from them, even if the magic circuits that were luxuriously melted directly and used to make a large number of scrolls of city recall and identification were all More than enough.

Of course, no one but Issandra would waste like that.

Speaking of the magic circuit, how is Charsi's work going?

It was a blacksmith from the Rogue camp, with barbarian blood, and he got along very well with the barbarian Dosten in the team, and he gave everyone a discount for his sake.

When the paladin walked over there, he saw several teammates standing there, discussing something with Charsi, the owner of the forge.

"I did have the ability to infuse magic into ordinary weapons, but of course this kind of operation requires special processing tools." Cha Xi said helplessly: "Now the monastery has been occupied by demons. When I escaped from there, I left Horadric Malus behind... No, that's not a person, it's my strengthened magic hammer. Unless you can Get it back, or I can't modify these 'guns'."

"The monastery is not so easy to get to. It was originally built according to the specifications of the fortress..." Cassia, an Amazonian who is relatively familiar with the blind nuns, frowned and said, "The nuns are not an organization without self-defense. , The monastery is built on the pass of the mountains, with walls, inner and outer courtyards, and inner barracks, if it is already full of demons... It will be difficult for us to break in and find the magic hammer."

"But we're going there sooner or later..." Issandra retorted, "If we want to follow the path traveled by the Dark Wanderer to the east, catch up with him, and defeat him, we must pass through the monastery. Even if the Queen of Pain Anda Lear herself stands in our way, and we must crush her and get past her!"

This is where things got awkward.In order to break through the monastery and defeat Andariel, the team obtained a lot of weapons from other worlds from the tavern, and wanted to strengthen them with the magical power of the sanctuary; but to strengthen them, they had to break through the monastery and retrieve the magic hammer.

"At least try it first, and see for yourself how the defense there is." The paladin who came over said, "Even without the help of the tavern and Boss Xue, didn't we plan to kill Andariel? If we I can't even deal with her with my own strength... Even if I succeed this time with the help of others, it is impossible to be the opponent of other demon kings, especially her three 'brothers'."

This is true. If you continue on this road, several people will understand what will be waiting at the end of the road... Those three demon kings have caused too much damage to the world of Sanctuary, and everyone will remember still fresh.

Just thinking of those three names, a few people seemed to be directly pressed by a heavy and helpless fate on their shoulders, and were forced to face the endless darkness.

"What's the matter, guys? ... I'm not afraid of Diablo. If I was in Tristram, I would have blown him up, not to mention, we still have people from around the world this time." Outside help." Issandra looked at the heavy expressions of the people nearby, raised her eyebrows, clapped her hands, and said so intentionally.

Although she is confident, she is not arrogant... Of course she knows that Diablo, Mephisto, and Baal are not easy opponents to deal with, but she is like this, even if she is trapped in a magic cave and her life is at stake, she will not be too arrogant. It must be unforgiving.

How can one be a good mage without the courage to take demon gods seriously?

The paladin nodded and was about to say something when suddenly a Rogue archer rushed over from the other side of the road, stopped in front of several people, and said respectfully: "Heroes... Akara The nuns want to see you, and I need your help with urgent matters."

Several people looked at each other, and of course put aside the matter of strengthening weapons for now, put the rifle back on their backs, and followed Rogge to the tent in Akara in the south.

The blind nun stepped out of her tent and stood in the open space ahead, anxiously waiting for the arrival of several people.She couldn't see things, and of course it would be very dangerous to step out of the familiar safe zone, which also showed how important the matter was and how anxious she was.

Seeing this scene, Jess immediately ran over in a hurry, held the nun's arm and asked, "Don't worry, what can we do for you?"

"This is something only you can do, heroes... I see through my 'blind eyes', there is one man alive in the demon-infested ruins of Tristram."

Akara said tremblingly, "That is a Horadrim mage who is proficient in all kinds of mysterious history and knowledge; in the face of incomprehensible evil forces, only he can give us some advice... His name is Deckard Cain. You must go deep into the fallen city of Tristram and find him, my friends. And fast! I saw him dying in a cage, and Around him are the inhabitants being executed one by one. I am afraid his days are numbered."

It takes a few days to get to Tristram from here, and it may be too late to walk there; but nun Akara has another way, she knows that there is a teleportation array in the wilderness that can directly lead to Tristram, using a Only the method recorded on the special scroll can be opened.

Time was running out, so they immediately decided to call the necromancer Zul, and set off immediately to get the scroll in the forest on the hillside.

But before setting off, Captain Rogge, Kasha, found the team first.

"After you rested 'Blood Crow' Morena, my Rogues were finally freed from the usual task of defending against monsters. They admired your heroic deeds very much, and many people came to me and hoped to join you Glorious team, prepare your luggage for you, carry supplies for you on the road, and face all crises with you in battle. After careful consideration, I decided to introduce the best archers among them to you. Friends, do you Agree to her joining?"

Several people looked at the Amazons in the team at the same time. It was she who gave Blood Crow the last blow and she knew the Rogues of the Blind Sisters best. It was best for her to make this decision.

Cassia thought for a while, and readily agreed: "In the battle against the devil, all of us are companions. We certainly wish for an excellent archer to join us."

Kasha showed a sincere smile: "That's great, she must be very happy."

After saying this, she turned around and shouted to the back: "Jingzi!"

Kyoko?What country is she from?

Before Cassia could figure it out, she saw a vigorous and nimble figure running over quickly.

Kyoko is a girl with dark brown hair and a fair face with a few freckles. She is wearing leather armor, like a real Amazon, with a bow hanging from her waist and a quiver on her back. Half of her strong thighs are exposed under the skirt armor. Come.On her back was the Storm Pulse Rifle that was bought by the witch, came from another world, and distributed to the Rogues by Kasha, which also gave Cassia an inspiration.

"Kyoko, right? From now on, you will be part of the team. Now I have a special task for you."

With that said, Cassia stuffed a set of equipment purchased from another world together with the box into her hand: "This thing is called 'beyond visual range anti-material rifle', and it is used with drones. I'll explain how to use it later... It's up to you to save that man from Tristram."

Chapter 47 The Fallen City

On the hillside on the outskirts of Tristram, the portal lights up.

The people who walked out of the red light were covered in blood, and those like the barbarian Dosten who liked to rush into the enemy's line were even stained red with the monster's blood on their entire arms and half of their chests.

Already red-eyed, he just jumped over from the portal, holding the sword and trying to find something else to chop, but was caught by Cassia behind him.

"You savage, be quiet! We are on the outskirts of the city. If we rush in rashly, we may be surrounded. Make a plan before acting."

However, the one with the most frightening performance must be the necromancer Zul.He held the nearly split corpse of the blade demon "Lakanishu" in his hand, stuffed the messy things in the chest back, and messed with the wound with sutures, exuding a kind of coping temperament of things.

Zul didn't intend to do anything with it at first, he just wanted to use it as a test subject, to analyze whether the potion could take effect in another world, and on what levels it would take effect... He specially cast a lot of complete potions on the corpse. After monitoring all the status of the spell that he didn't understand, he took out a fluorescent green potion from his bag, which made Jingzi, who was carrying a big box, back away and stared at him with vigilant eyes.

As for the paladin Jess... He was very opposed to this kind of thing, but if the experimental subjects were these man-eating monsters whose purpose was to deal with the demons that were about to destroy the world, then he didn't care so much.

If sanctuaries were gone and all humans were dead, of course there would be no such thing as "morality".

He was calling everyone together at this time to arrange another more important matter.

"Well, our goal is to save people, not to kill all the demons in Tristram...I'm afraid we can't do the latter either. The survivors in the camp have said that there are' The gates of hell', from which countless demons can climb up in an endless stream.

"Because it is a surprise rescue rather than an annihilation battle, we don't need to completely deal with the demons that may be hiding in those burning buildings. We just need to rush to the position of the human prisoners as quickly as possible, and evacuate immediately after saving them."

As he spoke, he raised his head and asked Cassia, who was using the "telescope" to check the enemy's situation: "How is it? Is he still alive?"

"It is true that he is still alive...but I really didn't expect him to be so old. No matter what, we have to act quickly, otherwise even if he is not killed, his body will definitely collapse and be destroyed in this environment. Until death." Cassia put down the binoculars and said.

Not only was it the usual battle to wipe out the remaining monsters in the wilderness near the camp, but when they just retrieved a certain bark scroll and started a fierce battle with the monsters near the teleportation stone formation, several people used weapons and equipment from outside the world …In addition to having no magical killing ability and being unable to deal with overly powerful monsters, these things are stable, easy to use, and can do many things that humans cannot do. It can be said to be a very handy combat tool, and Let a few people in the team look forward to finding the hammers and strengthening them with magic.

Kyoko felt the same way. Everyone found that she was very talented in controlling the "drone". It flies up and down.

At this time, she was looking for an open space to "set up a radio base station"... The Amazons didn't know how to explain this to her, so they could only use the Necromancer's Stone Demon as an example, which is like the control core of those magic puppets, Your orders can only be sent to the machine in the sky through this thing.

Just heard the paladin say: "In this case, act quickly. You can let a few 'drones' drop explosives into the surrounding area to attract the attention of those demons; we touched the outside of the city and heard the explosion Just rush in, save Deckard Kane and leave."

"Then let's throw this guy in by the way."

The Necromancer spoke.

Everyone looked towards him together, and saw that little blue-skinned devil was coming back to life, with blood and pus coming out of the wound, grinning at several people and shouting...

Even when they were alive, the blade demons and the fallen demons were babbling, and no one could understand or want to understand; after death, the words of Lakanishu's mouth were even more cohesive , which is no different from the noise.

"...is it really effective?" the paladin asked in surprise.

Zuer nodded: "Yeah, I also find it very strange. Witches should know best... The existence of 'supernatural' is actually determined by 'nature', and many spells cannot be used outside the world."

The bored witch yawned and said, "That's right, although a great mage who can travel between worlds has not appeared for a long time...but there is such a saying in the notes handed down from the past."

Just like the world that the paladins had been to before, the little monster that was "resurrected" by the potion didn't seem to retain much of its sanity, but its eyes were shining yellow and it looked like it was going to eat people.However, I don't know what kind of spell Zur cast. Although it struggled to break free, its hands and feet still couldn't control it. It could only lie on the ground and lean on its shoulders to move forward. After being stepped on by the necromancer, it couldn't move. up.

"This... I think the drone may not have such a high load, but if it is used as a heavier projectile weapon..."

The paladin rubbed his chin and said, his eyes turned to the barbarian Dosten beside him.

Tristram was about to fall into the night, the houses around the street were almost burnt out, and the demons were roaring, tearing, or tearing the dripping flesh from the corpses, giggling. Then, drink the wine you found in the cellar.

A few days after the city fell, everything was destroyed like a building on the verge of being completely burned down, and the streets and lanes could no longer hear the screams of the residents... Most of the people were killed in the first night and the few remaining were locked in iron cages and hung on shelves with chains and hooks, awaiting their final fate.

Deckard Cain is one of those people.

Unlike other residents of Tristram, he clearly understands how the demon before him came here and what he wants to do...

Prince Aidan is a warrior with a noble and selfless personality rarely seen in this world.However, even such a human being is no match for the Lord of Fear at the level of will.

In the current world, I am afraid that he is the only one who knows what happened in the underground of Tristram... After defeating Diablo and letting his essence be sealed by the red soul stone again, he discovered the darkness. The body of the God of Destruction turned out to be his own brother, Prince Albrecht.

Having lost all his family members, he was finally deprived of his last trace of nostalgia for the human world by hell.

The anger of justice and the desire for revenge made him make a decision that didn't seem wrong at the time... He imitated the sages and inserted the red soul stone into his forehead, trying to face Diablo directly at the soul level, using Suppress the king of fear with his own will, let the world get rid of the control of demons, and let mankind get the long-lost peace.

But a few days later, the warrior began a long silence.What people saw most often was that he was sitting alone in the corner of the Tristram Tavern, holding the sword inherited from his father in his hand, covering his head and face with a hood, neither eating nor drinking. A creepy whisper came from his mouth.

From his monologue, there is only one word that everyone can understand, and that is the repeated "Oriental" in the sentence.

In the middle of the night, the hero who defeated Diablo suddenly left Tristram without a trace.

That night, a large number of demons suddenly emerged from the underground of Tristram, and the whole city was engulfed in flames.

Deckard Cain knew that the tragic hero had met his brother's fate, another vessel for the Lord of Terror.And when he went to the east, he must be looking for the two brothers of the demon god who were also sealed, liberating them, and letting evil and darkness walk on this land again.

"Even if I die here... I hope the heroes can get help, I hope this world can continue..."

I have been locked in a cage for two or three days, without food, and can only get a little water from the occasional rain. This is a bit too difficult for an old man in his 60s.

At this time, Deckard Cain didn't think he could survive. Perhaps he shouldn't have such hopes from the moment Tristram fell.

Now he only hopes that after his death, he will not be taken over by demons and instead spread evil to humans...

Suddenly, Deckard Kane, who had fallen to the bottom of the iron cage and had lost much strength, heard a buzzing sound.

He barely propped up his body with his thin arms, raised his wrinkled face, and looked over the burning ruins of the city in the setting sun.

There seems to be something flying over the ruined wall... It should not be big, about the size of a wooden plate in a tavern. I can't see what color it is in the evening light, and I didn't see it flapping its wings. I don't know where the buzzing sound came from. Where did it come from.

When I looked more carefully, I finally found that there was not one thing, but five or six of them, keeping a distance from each other, flying towards the burnt city of Tristram.

These things are definitely controlled by humans... because their flying altitude remains stable, and their square formation remains unchanged. They even stopped at the same time when they flew over the head where Deckard Cain was.

Before the humans in the cage and the demons below came back to their senses, they saw several dark objects falling from the strange bird hanging in the sky.A few seconds later, there were violent explosions all around the city, which almost knocked Deckard Cain unconscious.

"...Why, is this the magic of wizards?"

Deckard Kane can only think of this, but in the next second, a blue-skinned sharp blade demon has followed a similar trajectory across the sky, and flew to the depths of the city, the street full of demons. alley.

... He suddenly didn't want to die so easily.

A wizard's spell would never cast such a thing.It's amazing how many unsolved mysteries there are in this world!

Chapter 48 Griswold

It's not a good idea to fight demons at night, but the team plans to break in at this time.

The reason... First of all, Deckard Cain doesn't seem to be able to survive for a long time; in addition, the impact of the night on their combat effectiveness has been minimized, and those drones have raised their altitude after the bombing is over, entering the hover mode, and began to provide the squad with monitoring and reporting of the surrounding situation, which is not much different from daytime combat.

To be precise, those pictures were first transmitted back to Jingzi and the radio base station, and then this Rogue transmitted it to the team through wireless communication.She was left on the other side of the hillside, protected by the stone demon and a few skeleton warriors left by the necromancer.

"The demons have been attracted by the explosion, and the demons on the main street are gathering towards the explosion site. I can't see the specific situation where Lakanishu landed, but the movements of the demons are very frequent and a little chaotic. Main street to There are ten huge demons and about twenty skeletons at the location of the iron cage; the skeleton archers among them cannot be distinguished for the time being."

"Good job, Kyoko, keep watching this way, we're going in!"

On the radio, Cassia praised Rogge who stayed on the hillside.

Although her report is not the "standard battlefield intelligence format" that Ripley or Duran Duran said, but... Anyway, this team is not a modern regular army soldier, even the paladin Jess has never fought such a battle .As long as the information is helpful and can play a role, isn’t it all right?

Several people looked at each other, nodded, and rushed towards the walls of Tristram a few feet away.

The paladin Jess charged first. He gritted his teeth, held up the shield with both hands, and smashed the baked stone wall with a charge and a shield attack.

The barbarian jumped up from above his shoulders and landed in the middle of the long street with a bang. He drew out his swords and rushed towards the skeletons in the middle of the street. With the long sword swung, these skeletons were quickly dismantled Became a piece of debris.

Behind him, the Amazon held his storm pulse rifle, fastened his small amulet that, according to the witch, could "increase the range of illumination" around his waist, and pulled the trigger repeatedly, shooting those who had just entered the light and hadn't reacted yet. The demons called their names one by one, and the ammunition accelerated by the magnetic track became red in the air, entered from the front of their foreheads, changed their trajectory during the collision with the skull, rotated and stirred, leaving a huge cavity, Then it exploded and flew out from behind them with a large cloud of blood.

When the heavy bodies of the surrounding demons fell heavily to the ground, Amazon suddenly realized... Unknowingly, he had used the fighting skills he had developed for many years, and he really regarded this "gun" as a specially designed crossbow up.

[133. No. 133]

But from the effect point of view... not bad.

On the other side, the witch Issandra sneered, and began to pour spells into the surroundings unscrupulously.

In just a few breaths, all the enemies on the street have been cleared up, and several people quickly ran towards the center of the town, and Jingzi's anxious voice came from the radio system: "...they turned back...the demons are coming back... Surround the center of the town!"

This is the only flaw of the so-called "modern weapon"... The sound of the Storm Pulse rifle is too loud, and the designer obviously did not consider the problem of noise reduction.Having said that, in a certain world, the "near future" era of interstellar colonization that Boss Xue said may not need to be silenced.Isn't it already much quieter than gunpowder weapons of the same power?Do you need it?

The demons in Tristram have been drawn back by the gunshots, though their heads are probably dizzy: Who the hell attacked this town, and why is there always such a loud bang?

"Speed ​​up, go!"

Said the paladin Jess who kept up with the team.Now that we have come here, we can only go forward!

Seeing that the iron cage was already in sight, he immediately turned his head and shouted, "Witch, it's your turn!"

Issandra raised the corner of her mouth and let out a "ha".

From her beautiful body, the power of magic surged out instantly, causing the surrounding space to shrink suddenly, and even she disappeared in place in the blink of an eye.

Amidst the turbulence of space, the witch appeared directly under the iron frame, facing the surrounding skeletons was a frost nova, and the white ice mist suddenly spread in the air, freezing these bone frames into pieces.

Just when she was satisfied with the effect of her magic, she suddenly heard the old man's weak voice from the iron cage above:

"Be careful……"

She heard it clearly, and immediately sent another teleportation, returning to the team.

Just when her figure disappeared from the spot, a sledgehammer was hitting the ground under the iron cage, hammering the stone pavement into pieces, denting it downwards, and bouncing again under the action of huge force. He went out and slammed into a building beside him with a bang.
