Diablo Destruction

The four of us gathered around the small pavilion where Horason was. Under our feet was a remote teleportation magic circle, but its shape was a little different from the five-pointed star I saw in the Mages Guild. This magic circle was seven-pointed. Star-shaped, the Horadric clan seems to prefer the number seven.

When he saw the shape of the grooves in the seven corners of the magic circle, Farah was almost scared out of his wits - these seven grooves turned out to be the shape of flawless gems, but after seeing that there were already seven flawless gems on the grooves , couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then his eyes became lewd, as if he was looking for treasures and leaving.

No, Kane is holding his beloved crutches in both hands, following Farah suspiciously. As long as he has a tendency to lose his rationality to evil, Kane will definitely not mind giving him a slap on the head.

The method of running this magic circle is very simple. Even I guessed it roughly, because there is a slot in the center of the magic circle. The shape is the same size as the body of Horadric's staff. I guess I just need to move the staff up. Then if you insert it, you will definitely make some noise.

The reason why he has not taken action yet is because Akara is still sorting out the related matters after contact with the Horadric clan in his mind. To put it simply, he is thinking about how to maximize the use of the power of the Horadric clan. Farah took advantage of the opportunity to start research. The structure of the magic circle, Kane followed him closely, holding the crutch tightly to prevent him from doing anything that would "damage the honor of the elder".

I leaned on Xiaoxue's half-curled plush body, silently watching the unpredictable starry sky above my head, and took a nap with Xiaoxue, spending the rare leisure time these days.

"Okay, let's go."

Half asleep and half awake, Akara shouted an order, waking everyone up. I called Xiaoxue back and watched Farah take out the Horadric staff, step by step solemnly towards the center of the magic circle, raise the golden staff high, then take a deep breath, face the groove, slowly but forcefully inserted it.

"Click——"

The stick foot was inserted into the slot without any gap, and it was about a foot long. It made a clear mechanical sound, then stopped. After letting go of his hand, Farah stepped back and quickly left the range of the magic circle.

The moment the staff was inserted into the hole, the whole world seemed to quiet down. Everyone focused their attention on the staff standing tall in the center. The staff had not moved since it was inserted. But the more this happens, the more we swallow our saliva. This is probably the feeling of tranquility before the explosion.

The next moment, the golden staff emitted a boundless light. Guiding the seven lightning bolts to connect with the seven flawless gems on the magic circle, the lightning flashed straight into the sky, and the entire dark starry sky seemed to begin to surge.

"Ding--"

The first gem suddenly lit up, emitting far more brilliance than it could ever emit. After about a minute, the second gem also lit up, then the third, and then the fourth, one by one in a counterclockwise direction.

When the last gem was lit, the seven rays of lightning transmitted from the staff flowed along every notch on the magic circle, starting with the seven gems, that is, the seven corners of the seven-pointed star. Finally, it gathered into the center, and then flowed into Horadric's staff again, and the cycle continued until every minute mark of the entire magic circle was completely lit.

At the last moment, it seemed as if all the energy contained in the magic circle was converted into light, and the terrifying white light emitted from the center of the magic circle. I can guarantee that even those who have changed jobs will be able to see it. If you don't close your eyes in time. You will also be blinded by these white rays, and your eyes will be in a state of failure for at least a month.

After the light dissipates. The three of us (Akara himself is blind) slowly opened our eyes and found that everything had calmed down. The only difference was that the originally dull magic scratches of the teleportation magic circle were now filled with a layer of firefly color. Slightly emitting seven-color light, making the entire magic circle look more beautiful with dreamy ripples.

I didn't have time to appreciate this beautiful scene, but I rubbed my eyes desperately - even if I just closed my eyes, the strong light still passed through my arms, and then through my eyelids, piercing my eyeballs white. One piece, Farrah and Kane may not be much better.

When we stepped into the teleportation array, there was an expected white light. When I opened my eyes again, a hot wind and sand blew over, and I was blinded again. Damn it, I have been really unlucky recently.

However, judging from the sandstorm and the current temperature, we should be in a desert now.

After I got used to it, I looked around the surroundings and found that we seemed to be on a high platform made of yellow stone. Under the high platform, dozens of people in simple clothes, including men, women, old and young, were surrounding us. He looked at the four of us with his eyes, and people kept coming from a distance.

Everyone stared at me and I stared at you for a long time. More and more people gathered around the stage, as if they had made an appointment, and suddenly they started to boil. Hot tears flowed down from everyone's face, supporting each other and hugging each other. They were dancing and jumping, and many old people even knelt on the ground in excitement, murmuring and crying bitterly.

“It’s so free!!”

I lay on the roof and squinted my eyes to bask in the sun. Oh, sorry, I made up the wrong word. I should have been basking in the sun for three hours. As for why I still basked in the sun in the desert, it was because... …

"It's so free..."

I turned over, stretched out on my side, and looked at the street not far away. To put it simply, the Horadik tribe’s plan was a bit like the Lugaoin slums, and most of them were painted in yellow. It is made of clay. If there is any difference, it is probably because a few Horadric people who know how to live have created a few small magics and rebuilt the simple loess house to make it look much more beautiful. , unlike the houses in slums with pitted and rough surfaces, as if they could be blown down by a gust of wind.

In the entire tribe, only the mage tower in the center is the most spectacular. The marble wall is dotted with many green plants. The towering fiery red spire is hundreds of meters tall. It looks like a corrupt official building built in a poor area. mansion. Of course, it is just a statue. What is placed in the mage tower is precious information passed down from generation to generation of the Horadric clan. It is the spiritual flag of the entire clan.

Farah and Kane may still be struggling inside. Poor Horadric people, you have not only received a savior, but also two major research madmen who have been eyeing your precious information for a long time, and a black-hearted elder who only came with the purest purpose. Me.

at last. He focused on the Horadric people coming and going below. How should I put it, their clothes looked like they came from the slums. Most of the clothes were made of animal skins. There was no way, the Horadric people were not good at it. Handicrafts, except for magic talent, they have no expertise in other fields. The most important thing is that this isolated ghost place cannot grow cotton and linen at all.

but. If you look down on them because of their clothes, you are totally wrong. They just have poor living conditions and nothing else. This is proved by a long list of facts - there is not a single illiterate in the entire Horadric tribe. This is appalling in the dark continent where knowledge is poor, and I can guarantee that if you just pick up a ten-year-old kid on the street, the magic knowledge in his mind may be much better than mine.

certainly. I know that comparing myself to a magical idiot is nothing to be proud of, but it is enough to show that the Horadric people here have not given up the glory of their race. When the time is right, they will be committed to recreating the glory of their people thousands of years ago.

The entire Horadik tribe now has a population of nearly 50,000. Thanks to the wisdom of their ancestors, when the ban was imposed, they left an area that could support the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, including dozens of oases with fertile land and sufficient water. , but even so. The resources of the Horadric people are still relatively poor. Most of their meat is sandworms and scorpions, and crops and fruits are even rarer. Although there are many oases, after all, the desert is not suitable for growing these things, and they have to be provided to 50,000 people. , the average amount is pitifully small.

But now, all this will change with our arrival. The closed teleportation array was opened. The Horadric people, who had been sealed away for thousands of years, were finally able to escape from this prison and go out to breathe a different kind of air. The lack of supplies can be transported in a steady stream. No wonder they cried so hard when we first arrived, feeling sad for thousands of years.

Oh, the girl opposite seems pretty good. She looks about ten years old, with very cute delicate facial features, a sweet smile, and a great figure, but her skin is not white enough (no doubt, more than 80% of Lolicons all prefer milky white skin), which is no wonder. After all, this is a desert environment. If she is brought to the camp to raise her for a few years, won’t she become white and tender?

After a while, my gaze became more serious. Speaking of which, in addition to having magical talents, the Horadric people seemed to have many beauties.

I was fascinated by watching the girls coming and going, when suddenly I heard a call from behind. When I looked back, I saw that it was Akara who was smiling and waving to me.

"Is there a problem?"

I jumped off the roof and followed Akara into the residence specially prepared for us. My vision suddenly darkened, huh? Farah and Kane are here too, and I thought they would be so obsessed with eating, drinking, and eating in the mage tower.

After sitting down, I realized that it was the Rat Club again... Well, no, it should be the time for the elders' meeting. Ever since Akara appeared in my eyes, the smile on his face has not diminished by half. He must have encountered something. There is no doubt that it is a good thing, or another scratch from the Horadric people.

"Everyone, I have some good news for you."

Having said this, Akara looked around us, and the smile on his face became even bigger. What kind of good news could make Akara, who is usually quiet, so happy?

"You may already know that the entire Horadric tribe now has more than 50,000 people, but..." She gave up, and her mouth cracked a little more.

"Do you know how much combat power there is here? For example, job transferees, Wu, guess what." Akara suddenly looked at me.

No wonder she is so happy. It turns out that the Adventurers Alliance will have a large number of mage thugs in the future, and judging from her happy look, this number is absolutely astonishing.

"About a hundred?"

I scratched my head and made a bold guess. Don't underestimate this number. There are only one or two thousand novice job-changers in Rogge camp. The total number of job changers in the entire first world is only about 10,000, but the known population of the first world is already hundreds of millions, which means that the ratio of job changers is at least 10,000:1, and Horadik here There are only 50,000 people in total, and a hundred people means a ratio of 500:1. This is already a very bold figure.

After getting my answer, the wrinkles on Akara's face added another layer, of course. She smiled, shook her head, didn't say anything, but stretched out her five fingers towards me.

"You mean..." I opened my mouth wide, but my throat felt dry.

"That's right, five hundred people." Akara said decisively, and then laughed, very happily.

Oh my god. With a ratio of 100:1, the world has gone crazy. Not only me, but also Farah and even Kane, who is a Horadric, also lost his mind for a long time.

"Not only that. According to statistics by Thakron (the current Great Elder of the Horadric Tribe) and I, in the past one or two years, there will be hundreds of good prospects who can successfully transfer jobs."

The three of us started to falter.

"In addition, there are a total of 2,158 mercenary-level mages."

Akara added another blow. The three of us suddenly swayed and fell directly to the ground.

"In addition, there are 8,832 soldier-level mages."

By the last pose of Akala, we were frothing at the mouth and unconscious.

Oh my god, more than 20% of the Horadric people have combat effectiveness above the soldier level. What is this if not all people are soldiers?

It took us a long time to accept the facts and get up from the ground. After taking a sip of water, you looked at me and I looked at you. Everyone’s eyes were bloodshot with excitement - this is immeasurable fighting power. With the addition of the powerful Horadric clan, the entire Dark Continent The strength is bound to reach a higher level.

"The blood of the Horadric tribe is only excellent, and it's really beyond my budget." Akara said excitedly while leaning on a cane, mumbling calculations. Listen carefully. It immediately made me sweat.

"If the Horadric clan is allowed to intermarry with other people, how many outstanding offspring will be produced? Although the thin bloodline may affect talent in the future, as long as the number is large enough, it can still make up for this shortcoming. Of course, purebred bloodline It must also be preserved (thinking about it)..."

I said Akara, are you planning to imprison the Horadric clan?

After talking for a while, Akara mentioned the second urgent issue - about the connection of the teleportation array. Although the teleportation array of the Horadric clan has been opened now, it can only lead to the refuge, where there is Horasan. There are masters who are not inferior to the demon king level. No one wants to be treated by the two heavens of ice and fire plus the flowering on the head (weakening the curse) just after coming out of the teleportation array. In addition, a large number of monsters and maze terrain in the shelter will all It caused inconvenience to the Horadric people.

Therefore, we decided to connect the teleportation array here with the long-distance teleportation array at Rogge Camp. However, there are some differences between the teleportation arrays. This involves many technical problems, which cannot be solved in a day and a half. Of course, With magic madmen like Farah and Elder Horadric around, it's not a big problem.

When I asked why not connect Lu Gaoyin's teleportation array to here first, so that the distance is shorter, wouldn't it be easier? The other three laughed mysteriously.

"So you kid, are you still young?" Farah looked at me with undisguised pride.

Kane whispered something in my ear, and I suddenly understood.

The Horadric tribe is now poor in resources and lacks everything. It is a good time to sell favors. If the teleportation array is connected to Lu Gaoyin, wouldn't this be a good favor to the Fat King? What's more important is that the young people here can't wait to go out. According to psychological analysis, these people who are almost driven crazy will find the first place they see after going out to be unforgettable. , which is also equivalent to emphasizing to them the leadership of Rogge Camp and the Adventurer Alliance in disguise.

As expected of a person who plays politics, an elder like me should just keep fighting and level up with the goal of saving the Dark Continent. I huddled in the corner and drew circles...

After learning the information about the Horadric tribe here, Akara must be more enthusiastic about saving the Horadric tribe in the second world. The meeting continued for a while, and I didn't think it was my own business. I found a moment to talk to Akara and ran out to get some fresh air.

"Elders, please stay."

I didn't go far when I was stopped by someone again. Who would know me here? When I turned around, I saw that it was Thakron, the great elder of the Horadric tribe. No wonder he could call me by my name.

"Where are you going, Elder Fan? If you want to get familiar with the tribe, I can show you the way." The thin and dark old man smiled slightly. He pulled at his white mage robe and said.

"I don't dare to disturb His Excellency the Great Elder's time. I'm just a little bored and want to take a walk around the area." I responded politely.

"Haha, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I'm just idle. This place is so shabby that it makes Elder Fan bored. It's our fault."

"Where." I shook my head quickly. I always felt that there was an air of conspiracy brewing in this little old man's words.

"However, the elder actually said that I have something to ask for. I wonder if you can do us a favor." Sure enough, Sakron changed the topic. He showed the unique smile of the NPC leader of the Novice Village when releasing tasks.

"You're welcome, Great Elder. The difficulties of the Horadric clan are the difficulties of our Adventurer Alliance. Just say it. We will do our best." I agreed generously. It would be boring to be idle anyway, so just take a look. What kind of request will Zakron make?

"That's it..." Sakron crackled for a while and explained the whole story to me.

It turns out that there are many ancient tombs around the Horadric clan's restriction, but now these ancient tombs have become a paradise for monsters. Of course, the Horadrics can also use these monsters to level up. It can be regarded as everyone getting what he needs.

It's just that at some point, a huge dark force suddenly appeared in one of the seven largest ancient tombs. According to expert detection, the deepest part of the tomb has most likely been occupied by one of the four demon kings of hell. This possibility immediately made the entire Horadric clan panic, fearing that Duriel would be restless and run out for a sneak attack one day. Thakron wanted me to find out if this was true.

Someone may ask. With so many mages in the Horadric clan, would they still be afraid of a mere Duriel? That's right. But we also have to think about it, this is the desert of the Western Kingdom, and the monsters there are generally only around level 20 at most. Therefore, no matter how hard the Horadrics train, their level can only stay around level 30, so although the wizards here are There are many, but they can only be regarded as fresh troops at best, and none of them can fight.

Of course, if Du Ruier comes out in an upright manner, facing so many mages, he will only end up being bombarded to the point where nothing is left. Even if it is a sneak attack, it is not practical to go inside and deal with it. Because the terrain of the ancient tomb is small and the mage's health is so weak, people who have played the game may understand this feeling - the depression of a mage less than level 18 dealing with Duriel.

This is exactly what Sakron is worried about, so his request is very simple. It is rare for the clan to have a human shield profession. Please help us go inside and check it out to see if it is Duriel. Of course, if It would be even better if the unknown enemy could be killed.

It turned out that I wanted to be a thug again. I wiped my sweat, agreed, and then walked back the way I came. Nonsense, of course I wanted to find Farah for help.

But when I returned to my residence, I found that none of the three people who thought they were still in the meeting were gone. Although I knew that Farah might have gone to the Mage Tower to research information, but I guess even if I find him, given his personality He may not be willing to move even half a minute.

How to do it? I have already agreed, but the ace thug is not here. It seems that I can only go alone. According to Isaac's clone and the inference in the game, I am sure that it must be Duriel. I still don't take it lightly with the strength of a mere demon king's projection.

However, the biggest problem is—I don’t know the way.

When I ran to find Sakrondi with a bad face, he smiled slightly: "So that's it, no problem, I'll find a guide for the elder."

As he spoke, he shouted several times toward the back of the room.

"Tia, Tia, you girl are so crazy." Such a strong way of calling people. I didn't expect Elder Sakron to have such a straightforward side.

"Grandpa, it's coming. It's annoying. Even the neighbors heard it."

With a delicate sound that seemed to come from the nose, a girl ran in from the back of the yard.

"..."

After seeing the appearance of Sakron's granddaughter, I almost staggered - isn't this the beautiful Horadric girl with a good figure that I have been staring at on the roof?

"Come on, let me introduce you. This is Elder Wu Fan from the Adventurer Alliance. You must have heard about it in the past few days. He is a great benefactor of our Horadric people. Now Elder Fan wants to go to the ancient tomb to investigate. Come on, help us eliminate another hidden danger. I know you often venture to that ancient tomb, so this time please lead the way for Elder Fan."

Sakron coughed and his face softened.

The girl ignored her grandpa's pretentiousness, but looked at me. The desert girl's unique, simple and hot eyes, without any impurity, lingered on me for a while, and the smile at the corner of her mouth became even sweeter.

"I know you were lying on the roof just now and peeking at people, right?"

The girl, who was wearing a thin leather jacket with a beautiful figure, put her hands behind her back and leaned her head over. Her delicate breasts became taller and taller due to this action, and her big, flawless and transparent eyes could clearly reflect my appearance. After looking at it with interest for a while, she suddenly said with a sweet smile.

omg! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

At this moment, my life became as gloomy as if my parents came in with a large group of police and reporters and caught me while I was molesting a lolita in bed.
