Diablo Destruction

*************************************************** *******************************************

After sending Princess Sanwu back, I have been thinking about this issue.

what to do?

Printing and selling the Beast Duke series and spreading this kind of book widely is undoubtedly not allowed by Kane's scholars. Personally, I don't want to see these books continue to be spread, regardless of whether this book will give dark people In terms of bringing a huge negative mental impact, it is still for myself...

After all, it is based on me. If the news is accidentally spread a few years later, I will probably turn from a savior into an amoeba-like existence in an instant! !

However, those mage apprentices are not bad people, they are just ordinary otakus. Of course, Princess Sanwu, whom I care more about, should I destroy her intention?

After all, she studied these books just to make money, and the purpose of making money was just so that I, the third stingiest owner of Rogge Camp, could pat my head and praise her. Princess Sanwu herself was not short of money at all, it would be better to say that she was a Only the guy who is as rich as the country can be.

When she first left, Princess Sanwu probably plundered the treasury a lot. That was the Western Kingdom, and Lu Gaoyin, who owned the city of jewels, was the richest country on the continent. As long as she took away 1% of the wealth, Sanwu would The princess can throw gold coins and play for the rest of her life.

And according to the gossip spread by the castle soldiers at that time, Prince Aziz... No, he should be called King Aziz now. That fat pig, when he went to the treasury to inspect, made a sound that half a Lu Gaoyin could hear. Wailing, as if a piece of flesh had been cut from the body.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help wiping the sweat from my forehead. This gossip must not be false. I just don't know what kind of search method the little princess used to make the fat pig scream so sadly. I'm afraid she He was also confident, knowing that I, the elder of the alliance, was protecting him, so he dared to do such a thing.

Could it be that Princess Sanwu actually had plans to plunder the treasury when she planned to drag me, the elder, into the sea? I wiped away the sweat again. No wonder I often hear the saying that three out of ten are black and nine are black.

Forget it, now is not the time to think about this, let's think carefully about how to solve the problem at hand.

While thinking about it, I walked around the door of the Mages Guild for a long time. If the guard didn't know me, I'm afraid he would have arrested me as a suspicious person by now.

Finally, I sighed, modified the route I originally planned to go to Akara's little black shop, and walked to Kane's house on the other side.

Kane's home is still the same...

so big.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that I haven't been here for a while. I always feel that the huge house is bigger than the last time I came here. Is it my imagination? Or is it that even Old Man Farah's space magic can no longer satisfy Kane's massive book collection, so it has to be expanded again?

Although the house is large, there are no servants in Kane's family. As for how to take care of the massive collection of books, there is no need to worry. If one person is too busy, he can always ask his students or other scholars to help with the chores.

In addition, it is said that there are many mysterious books hidden in the deepest part of this house. It would be fine if they record black history that cannot be spread among the people, but if they are books that contain magical power or seal demons, etc. …

But sure enough, when it comes to the most attractive rumor, there is nothing more than that in the deepest mysterious library, there is a girl reading quietly. It is best that this girl is the incarnation of a certain mysterious book or She is a manager. You can gain magical power by making a contract with her or inserting a certain key into a strange keyhole on her chest...

If such rumors spread, wouldn't Kane be regarded as a perverted lolicon? Well, that's a problem.

With these impure conjectures, I visited Kane's home and inquired about him on the way here. He rarely had a moment of leisure and was probably at home organizing the bookshelves...

"Boom——"

Before I could finish thinking about it, there was a collapse sound from the depths of the book corridor that seemed to extend to the end of the book. I quickly went up and saw a pile of fallen books. I asked why others found a girl. What he found was the regret of the old man, so he dug out Kane from the pile of books.

"Ahem, sorry, Wu, it's really a big help that you came in time."

After a while, Kane brought me a cup of tea and said with a smile.

"There are more and more books at home recently, and even I sometimes make mistakes, so I wanted to sort them out, but I didn't expect..."

"Ha~~~"

I laughed hard and heard Kane say this. Could it be that he could remember all the books in this family clearly?

How can I describe the vast number of books in the Kane family? To use a more clichéd analogy, you find a huge library in this house, which is full of books. There is no gap between the books. Just when you sigh about this, you naturally think that these are all the books. However, I was told that the books in this library are the catalog of the entire library.

With such a huge collection of books, even just being able to remember the location of these books, and which bookshelf in the library is already amazing, so I looked at Kane with a strange look in his eyes. I admire you, who is the monster?

"Wu, you came all the way here, what's the matter?"

Kane had a lot of things to do and didn't talk nonsense. After taking a breath, he got to the point directly.

"Yes, there is something... that..."

Thinking of Princess Sanwu's problem, I looked solemn and confused about where to start. Finally, I simply sighed, took out the sack of gems that the little princess had pushed over, and placed it on Kane's back. before.

"Donate on God's birthday." I said simply.

"Oh? So that's it. It seems that Wu is the best among all the others in this donation for the God's Birthday. But why not just hand it over to Akara?"

Kane glanced at the huge sack and said with a smile.

"No, Grandpa Kane, you misunderstood, these are not mine."

"That's really strange. Who does it belong to? Could it be that someone can suppress you for this donation on God's birthday?" Kane's eyes flashed with surprise.

"I won't say who it is, but leave these in your hands, Grandpa Kane. I also have a small request."

As Kane watched, I scratched my head, smiled sheepishly, and spoke every word.

"I hope Grandpa Kane can give me a pardon."

"That's it..."

Kane stroked his white beard and looked calmly. He didn't say yes or no, nor did he ask me why I suddenly wanted a pardon. For a moment, the atmosphere fell into a strange silence.

Looking at Kane's clear look, could it be that he has...

With this uneasiness, my eyes kept drifting over Kane's face, hoping to get some clues from his expression.

"You want to know if I have figured out who is the author behind the Duke of Beasts, right?"

Kane suddenly spoke, which made me feel cold. It's over. I didn't say anything yet, but Kane knew my purpose. From this point of view, whether Princess Sanwu is the author of the Beast Duke series, or she proposed it herself He had already seen through the request for a pardon.

However, this is not beyond my expectation. If Kane is really ruthless, he must find out the truth. With the ability of the alliance's reconnaissance force, and the actions of Princess Sanwu and the others, they cannot be considered concealed. It is not necessary to find out. What a difficult thing.

"Grandpa Kane, do you already know?"

Now that the matter has come to this, I can only bow my head obediently and admit my guilt. Although the culprit is Princess Sanwu, I, the master, cannot bear the blame.

"Actually, I found out about this matter early on. I was just hesitating when to take action. I guess you will know about it soon. To be honest, it's a bit unexpected that you came to me so late. .”

"I'm sorry, Grandpa Kane, for causing you trouble. Also, I'm really grateful for being able to tolerate little Jasmine until now." I lowered my head in shame.

"Well, compared to Wu's contribution to the alliance, this little tolerance is nothing."

Kane stroked his beard and smiled gently.

"But, since you already know, it's time to understand this matter. It's not surprising to come and ask for a pardon from me. After all, you are well-known in the camp for protecting your own family. .”

"Ha...ahahaha..."

Being teased like this by Kane, his head lowered even further, almost burying it in the ground.

"However, dear Wu, I can't promise you this, no matter how much I donate, you should understand how I feel."

Kane's tone became slightly solemn and he said solemnly.

"Originally, I planned to postpone this matter until after God's birthday. If I can convince little Jasmine, it would be fine. If she is willing to disobey, she will be put in a cell for a few months until you come to persuade her in person. ”

"Hug...sorry."

I was ashamed and burst into tears. Kane said these words, which is already a great show of support. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been furious. After finding out, he immediately threw the person into the cell and persuaded him. There is no need for it at all, and they will be locked up for ten or eight years.

"I can tolerate it until now, but I can't promise you that a book like the Duke of Beasts should not appear in the Dark Continent."

Kane put down the teacup in his hand gently and spoke firmly, word by word.

"I know what to do." After thinking about it for a moment, I took a deep breath.

"Little Jasmine did this kind of thing for me. I don't want to disappoint her, but Grandpa Kane, you are right, so please give me some time. I will convince Little Jasmine to at least let her write something normal. something, okay?”

"Well, this is naturally the best."

Kane nodded and smiled with satisfaction. Perhaps he had expected this result from the beginning.

"Then it's settled, thank you, Grandpa Kane."

I was overjoyed. When I go back this time, I have to talk to Princess Sanwu no matter what. If she can't even do this, there is no need for Kane to do anything. As the master, I will lock her up first. Until you are honest.

"If that's the case..."

Things were progressing, and I breathed a sigh of relief. Rogge's stingy nature suddenly came out. I looked at the sack in front of Kane eagerly and blinked.

"This...can I get half of these gems back...no, one third is fine..."

Kane: "..."

"etc."

My heart was bleeding, and when I was about to leave with my head downcast, Kane suddenly spoke up and untied the rope that tied the mouth of the bag.

Oops, could it be that things have taken a turn for the better, and Kane finally has a bad conscience and wants to return some to me?

I couldn't help but turn around and move back with a smile. At this moment, the image of Kane in my eyes was a hundred times bigger than God.

"Pick out the diamonds inside," Kane told me.

"Huh?"

Could it be that you're not selling my face, but the little ghost's face? That's fine, as long as I can get it back.

I nodded my head hummingly, and then listened to Kane continue.

"After you pick it out, give it to the miser. Also, after leaving a necessary share of the diamonds on you for Lady Alice, it's best not to waste them. Give them all to the miser."

I immediately fell to the ground.

The feeling was not to return it to me after my conscience found it, but to ask me to hand it over to old man Farah, and also ask me to hand over everything I had on me! !

I looked at Kane eagerly, my eyes full of Yang Bailao's grievance.

"This is also for Lady Alice's benefit. As long as he can gather enough perfect diamonds, he will have the potential to fight against the Four Demon Kings."

“What on earth are you going to do with all these perfect diamonds?”

I couldn't help but ask again. Hundreds of perfect diamonds, even if the little ghost were to eat them, would probably allow her to evolve from a shimmering ghost to an incandescent ghost.

"You will know this when the time comes. Now Wu, your main task is to coax Lady Alice and let her practice her level well."

"Okay, you will whet my appetite anyway." I helplessly paralyzed my face.

"By the way, speaking of perfect gems..."

I remembered a problem that had been bothering me, and took out the microwave oven from the inventory... Oh no, it was the Horadric Cube.

"The Horadric Cube can only be synthesized into flawless gems at most. Grandpa Kane, can you help me find out what's going on?"

"Is there such a thing?"

Kane frowned, took the Horadric Cube and looked at it carefully for a while.

"Don't the Horadric Cubes still have some attributes that haven't been displayed?" he suddenly said.

Horadric Cube (artifact)

+200% increased explosion rate

+0 is converted to all attributes (determined by character level, the value is level/2)

+100 mana

+100% cast speed

+200% mana regeneration speed

-30% skill cooldown

+5 skill points

(unknown)

This is the unknown! !

Kane and I's eyes fell on the last line at the same time.

"It seems that the key point is here."

"But how can we find a way to unlock this attribute? I have no clue at all."

"this……"

Kane hesitated for a moment.

"Maybe then, I'll have to go to the Horadric tribe to see if I can find any useful clues."

"There is no other way. This is the only way. I wish I could ask Lord Tarasha about it at that time."

I sighed and shrugged helplessly.

Tarasha was the last holder of the Horadric Cube. He must know how to solve this mystery. Unfortunately, when he met Tarasha's spiritual imprint, time was too short. I didn't think about this problem at that time.

"Let's wait until after the God's birthday to discuss this matter. There is no rush now. With such a large number of perfect diamonds, even if the entire alliance uses all its efforts, it may not be possible to collect them within ten years."

Kane shook his head and handed the selected diamond to my hand.

"Go find the miser when you have time. Maybe he has some clues. I have something to do here, so I won't go with you. By the way, Wu, do you have anything else to do later?"

"Me? I originally wanted to go to Grandma Akara's place, but now I can talk to Grandpa Kane."

"What's the matter?" Kane smiled slightly.

"Regarding the expansion of God's Birthday, with the current progress, is it really too late? Why don't you and Grandma Akara seem to be in a hurry?"

"This is it."

For some reason, I felt Kane's smile become subtle for a moment.

"I have something urgent to do now. You should go discuss it with Akala."

With such a chuckle, Kane left me alone in his house and left on crutches.

"Really, why are you asking me to find Akara when it can be explained clearly in just a moment?"

With such complaints, I hurried from Kane's house to Akara's little black shop. She was also there, but she was not taking a break like Kane, but was dealing with a pile of documents.

What surprised me the most was that Lena was there too, oh oh oh, being able to see my baby sister at this time, all the weakness and fatigue from the whole day seemed to disappear.

"Is it Wu? What kind of wind has brought you here? Sit down."

Akara put down the quill in his hand, raised his head and smiled calmly at me.

"I'm going to get a glass of water." Lena stood up from the Analects of Confucius.

"no, I'm fine."

I quickly sat Lena down and kissed her furry wolf ears intimately. It was enough to have this intention. I could just do the pouring of water myself. Anyway, I’ve been to many small black shops, and I don’t regard myself as an outsider.

Seeing that Akara was busy, I was not polite. After sitting down, I made my purpose clear.

"I see. Indeed, if we follow the current progress, I'm afraid we won't be able to make it in time for God's birthday."

"Does Grandma Akara have any good ideas?"

I looked at Akara with a dark look on my face. At this time, why can this old fox say that he can't catch up and can't catch up, while showing a nonchalant smile?

Does she really not mind that the adventurers who are looking forward to coming back to celebrate God's birthday see signs like "Under Construction, Pedestrians Stopped" everywhere?

"Huh?"

Akara was slightly startled.

"I thought you had a solution, so I came to discuss it with me."

"I do have some ideas here..."

I stared blankly at Akara, who was smiling. For some reason, I suddenly felt like I was being invited to a urn, and then I saw Lena on the side, her lips pursed and snickering.

Oops, I fell into a fox's den.

"If you don't mind, just talk to me, an old woman." Akara calmly took a sip of the refreshing water and said.

"Well, it's like this. Since the adventurers in the camp are not happy, I think we can just find some adventurers from other areas and come back. Do you think this is okay?"

"No problem, of course."

Akela stood up and patted my shoulder in a tone that was suspiciously exaggerated.

"Wu, your method is very good, just do what you want."

"Hey, is that all right?"

Seeing how easily things were decided, I tilted my head, feeling that a lot of things had been omitted.

So, with a look of confusion and confusion on my face, I was driven out by the silent courage of Akara, who was busy with official duties. Fortunately, Lena came out to see me off.

"Lena, what do you think happened to Akara?" While pushing the wheelchair, I lowered my head and asked in a low voice.

"Don't you see? Grandma Akara has been ready for a long time." Lena was in a good mood, with a sweet smile on her quiet and pretty face.

"Yes, I have been prepared for a long time. I am just waiting for you, brother, to fall into the trap on your own." As she said that, Lena couldn't help but let out a series of weak and crisp laughter.

"But why could she guess that I would come over and tell her about this sooner or later?" I still don't understand. Could it be that she used prophecy specifically for this kind of thing? It's too arrogant.

"Because Sister Linya is responsible for the expansion work on God's Birthday." Lena said matter-of-factly.

"Huh?"

"Brother loves Sister Linya and the others, but the camp is well-known. Knowing that Sister Linya is responsible for this matter, he will definitely come over to discuss it. This is the basis for Grandma Akara's guess."

"This old fox."

I hate it so much, no wonder I'm not in a hurry. It turns out that I'm sure that I will come to my door automatically. Could it be that when Linya was asked to take charge of this matter, everything was already planned?

"However, I don't have to do it. With Akara's prestige, as long as she opens her mouth, many adventurers will definitely take the initiative to ask for help."

After thinking about it, I suddenly noticed this blind spot. Yes, why does it have to be me? She can just say it herself. Could it be that the old fox will die if he doesn't work hard?

"That's right." Lena twitched her furry snow-white ears cutely.

"But the meaning is slightly different."

"What's the difference? It's just a call for labor."

"Indeed, Akara is extremely prestigious in the alliance, and everyone respects her. As long as she is willing to speak, many adventurers will volunteer to help, but this is meaningless. What Grandma Akara wants to see is, Brother, your prestige brings everyone together with your will."

"My prestige?"

Question marks popped up in my head.

By the way, do I have such a thing as prestige? I know a lot of idiots.

"No matter, it's not that difficult anyway, just do it." In the end, I shook my head and gave up speculating on Akara's intentions. It's the wisdom of mortals.

"That's right, just follow this momentum and do it in one breath. Brother is the most powerful." Lena clenched her two slender little fists tightly to cheer me up.

Oh oh oh, having such a cute and well-behaved sister makes the life of the Sa family worth it.

I shed tears of happiness and hugged Lena in my arms.

"Just send it here, it's cold, don't catch a cold." After walking a certain distance, I turned back and said to Lena.

"..."

"Lena, what's wrong?"

I looked at Lena strangely, who seemed to be having a little awkward moment suddenly.

Lena still stared at me motionless, her beautiful light gray pupils exuding considerable courage, which made me break out in cold sweat.

Oh, by the way, I probably forgot this, so I clapped my palms in my heart.

"Well, Lena, I'm going to leave first. I'll come and take you home when I'm done."

Half-kneeling in front of Lena's wheelchair, I gently kissed her pretty face and kissed her smooth and lovely forehead.

"Um."

Lena then showed a charming smile. Sure enough, she had forgotten this. From her quiet and intelligent temperament, there was no clue that Lena would be such a coquettish sister.

Speaking of which, when did kissing before goodbye become a rule?

A gust of cold wind blew, and I quickly took off my cloak and covered Lena.

"Claudia."

After calling out softly, within a moment, the dedicated Rogge female archer appeared in front of her.

"Lena, please send it back."

"Yes, this is my duty, please don't worry, Elder." Crodia stood upright and assured in a firm and reassuring tone.

Nodding towards her, I took my steps as Lena waved goodbye.

"Brother, see you later."

Lena's soft voice came from behind, and I always felt... there seemed to be a hint of naughty smile in the voice. Even Crodia, who is usually meticulous and always keeps a straight face, I also noticed it when I turned around just now. , the corners of her mouth seemed to be slightly raised.

With this vague doubt, after walking a few hundred meters away, I unconsciously looked up and saw the setting sun...

"..."

After being stunned for a while, I turned around mechanically and returned to the original path. Lena and Crodia seemed to know that I would turn back. They stayed in the same place and never left.

"Lena, I'm here to take you home."

With a soft smile on my face, after I said this...

With a crouch, he came close to Lena, pinched her face with both hands, and gently pulled her away. His face was hot and he stared at Lena, whose eyes were smiling and exaggerated, then turned pitiful.

"Also, it's wrong to tease your brother!"

*************************************************** ************************************************

All in all, I have caught up this time. There is no sense of crisis this month. Xiao Qi always feels that perfect attendance will always slip away in the last few days. Yuan Mu...
