A foreigner's journey

Dicka Cain is a thin, slightly hunched old man.

He has a bald head, pale hair and beard, and a face full of wrinkles. His skin is brown and yellow from running around all day, and there are age spots on his face.

But no matter his ordinary appearance or the tattered long gown made of coarse cloth, it can't hide his nature as a "sage".

The old man is now walking fast with a cane in his hand, carrying a tattered cloth bag and a heavy book full of bookmarks across his shoulder, panting.

Leah carefully supported him on the side, with a distressed look on her face: "Uncle, slow down... You need to rest after suffering so much in the underground of the cathedral."

"Oh Leah, good boy, I can't stop for a moment now."

Dicka Cain took a few deep breaths while leaning on his cane. The smell in the town of New Tristram after the rain was not good, but Dicka Cain, who had just been rescued from the magic cave under the cathedral, was happy to do it.

"Why, uncle? Whether it's the disaster brought by the meteor or the awakened Skeleton King Leoric in the deepest part of the cathedral, haven't they all been solved by the Skeleton Knight?"

Speaking of the Skeleton Knight, Leah couldn't help but look at the figure riding a horse and walking slowly in front of her, with uncontrollable admiration in her eyes.

She witnessed with her own eyes how this extremely brave knight took her into the underground of the cathedral where demons were rampant. Neither the undead nor the demons could stop the Skeleton Knight even for a moment, and they were all chopped into pieces.

They rushed into the depths of the cathedral without stopping, and rescued Leah's uncle, Deckard Cain, from a huge demon.

Yes, Deckard Cain is Leah's uncle in name, but he is only adopted.

Leah's true identity is the child of the protagonist warrior 'Prince Aidan' of the first generation of Diablo game and the witch Adria of the Trinitarian Church. She inherited the blood power of the dark soul stone 'Dread Lord' from Prince Aidan's body.

Deckard Cain is the last heir of the Horadrim Brotherhood. This lonely old man was friends with Adria in Diablo 1. He later met the lonely Leah and decided to adopt her, so the two became uncle and nephew.

Six days ago, Deckard Cain and Leah were sorting documents in the Old Tristram Cathedral, and were affected by a meteorite that fell from the sky.

The meteorite shattered the floor of the cathedral and penetrated into the deepest underground, and Deckard Cain accidentally fell into a huge pit and disappeared. Leah was forced back by the awakened evil spirits around her, and desperately fled back to New Tristram to seek help. She wanted to find someone to go to the cathedral with her to rescue her uncle, but she didn't get help until Heather and her group arrived.

After rescuing Deckard Cain, the Skeleton Knight did not leave with the uncle and nephew immediately, but continued to go deeper.

In the deepest part of the cathedral, they found the source of the evil spirits rampant around Tristram, the former "Mad King" of Tristram, the Skeleton King Leoric.

He had long been dead when he was awakened by the meteorite, and then released a powerful evil spirit power.

But no matter how powerful the Mad King was, he was no match for the Water Summoning Sword. In just one round, the Skeleton King was killed by the Skeleton Knight with a sword, and there was no possibility of resurrection. The evil spirits around Tristram also became weak and even returned to peace.

The three continued to go deeper, and then found the meteorite in the deepest part of the Skeleton King's tomb.

The true face of the meteorite was a broken sword, which was once the holy sword of Tyrael, the High-level Heavenly Justice Archangel, Edruin.

The sword was now broken and only the hilt was left, and was placed on the side of the horse's back by the Skeleton Knight.

After returning to New Tristram with the uncle and nephew, the Skeleton Knight was very "considerate" to drive them off the horse, and walked in front of him, giving the uncle and nephew a chance to whisper.

Leah didn't understand Deckard Cain's pilgrimage-like mentality at this time.

Because she had never seen the horror of the Hell Demon King and the endless demon army, she naturally couldn't understand the different dimensions of combat power displayed by the Skeleton Knight.

Deckard Cain was well-informed. In his opinion, even the warriors who went deep into hell to kill the Dread Lord twenty years ago were not as strong as the Skeleton Knight.

Starting from Prince Aidan, Deckard Cain witnessed the rise of the Dread Lord and then being beaten to death twice in a row, and also witnessed the heroic posture of human warriors from all over the world bravely resisting the demon army.

But no Skeleton Knight had ever been so casual and killed any enemy with one sword.

Comparable to the archangels of the high-level heaven, or the demons and demon kings who can rival hell, this is Deckard Cain's judgment.

According to Leah, there are many warriors as strong as the Skeleton Knight, all gathered at the Cow Slaughter Inn at this time, waiting for the order of a warrior named Heather.

With such a powerful human warrior standing up, Deckard Cain saw the luxury of the Sanctuary World being able to breathe for decades or even hundreds of years under the attack of heaven and hell.

During the conversation, the three came to the door of the Cow Slaughter Inn at night.

After pushing open the door, before Deckard Cain had time to feel the long-lost warmth of the fire and the aroma of food, he was shocked to see a sword light coming towards him.

Plop!

The sword light passed Deckard Cain and chopped directly on Leah beside Deckard Cain, and the girl collapsed to the ground.

"Leah! My child, what's wrong with you?" Deckard Cain was terrified, trembling and holding his crutches horizontally to block Leah, but the Skeleton Knight casually snatched the crutches and threw them aside.

"Mr. Deckard Cain, please don't do meaningless things."

Su Zhan sheathed his sword, lifted the unconscious Leah up from the ground, and looked at Deckard Kane with a pair of scarlet eyes:

"This is for your and your niece's good."

"You... this, this is..." Deckard Cain then noticed that there were no wounds on the place where Leah was hit, and she just fell into a deep coma.

[Divine Speed ​​Slash·Yakuni Panic Root] is a perfect genjutsu slash that combines the speed of celestial slash with Sharingan genjutsu.

At this moment, Leah and the bloodline belonging to the fear lord Diavolo in her body have fallen into a slumber caused by the illusion and cannot be awakened easily.

"Don't say you don't know who her mother is, Deckard Cain."

Heather came over, bent over and looked at the sleeping Leah, and said:

"As expected of Leah, who has made countless dark fans cry and howl in dismay. Judging from her appearance alone, she has definitely inherited Prince Aidan's heroic spirit and Adelia's beauty."

"Wait...you mean, Leah is the daughter of Prince Aidan? I only know that Adelia is her mother, but no one knows who the biological father is."

Deckard Cain felt cold in his heart. If it were Prince Aidan in his normal life, it would be fine. But if he had embedded the Dark Soul Stone in his forehead, used his own body to trap the Dread Lord, and was fearfully called the 'Dark Wanderer' That's bad for Prince Aidan.

"Yes, it's what you think. Leah has the blood of Diablo in her body. This fear lord has been waiting for an opportunity to reincarnate in Leia's body as a container."

Heather smiled and signaled Quickly to help Leah to the stove, where a large open space had been cleared and a complex magic circle was painted with unknown red paint.

"Please, please don't hurt this child, sir. She is very kind and has definitely not been corrupted by the Dreadlord. I am willing to guarantee you that with my life."

Deckard Kane begged. Although he and Leah were not related by blood, he had long regarded Leah as his own over the years, and the latter also regarded Deckard Kane as his closest relative.

Even if Leah has the blood of the Dread Lord, Deckard Cain would never want to see Leah harmed.

"Who said I was going to hurt her? Isn't it common sense to give her anesthesia before the operation? Don't worry, it's just a minor operation equivalent to wisdom teeth extraction."

While Heather was speaking, the anesthesiologist Su Zhan had already gently placed the girl in the center of the magic circle.

Then, Nanami, who was barefoot and dressed in a green kimono, walked forward quietly, holding a brilliant gem emitting orange light in her palm.

The next moment, orange light swept across the entire hotel lobby.

The soul separation surgery begins.
