Diablo Destruction

Early the next morning, I continued to drag my family and my family to the central area. Yesterday, because of that poor mage, my plan to find out information came to nothing. I must gain something today, and I am rushing out to practice. , you must know that the adventurer level in Kurast is generally between 30-40, and I am currently level 27. How embarrassing to tell it.

However, in the early morning, those adventurers who had just returned from the death front naturally could not get up so early. When I came to the Green Forest Bar, I found that there were not even two kittens inside, and only a few waiters were cleaning leisurely. To cope with the next wave of adventurers.

In desperation, I had no choice but to pick up a copy of Adventurer's Weekly and read it carefully.

"The xxx team was blessed with a golden double-edged ax in the skinning cellar of the skinning forest..."

Double-edged axe, it’s just so-so stuff. Is it necessary to report it? Looking at the picture printed on the weekly magazine, which shows a happy scene of a team of adventurers carefully holding an ax and giggling, I blinked my mouth and thought in a way that a full man doesn't know how hungry a man is.

"The xxx team failed to lure the enemy in Cui Fanke. They were destroyed by the evil hands - Ismael and the Finger of Fire - Gilleb, and fled back in embarrassment." Evil hands? Fingers of fire? Asshole? Haha, the person who wrote this news is so talented. I didn’t expect that dark people are also very creative.

The members of Kurast's Council are monsters that can make all adventurers change their minds. They were once the supreme leaders of Zakarum and were deeply loved by the people, but they were later captured by Mephisto. Manipulation has become an existence that scares everyone. I don’t know how many adventurers have died tragically at their hands, and there are eight members of Cui Fanke’s council alone. The most speechless thing is. Three of them are actually at the mini-boss level, namely Ismail the Evil Hand, Gilleb the Finger of Fire, and Tok the Ice Fist. The other ordinary members of the council are also as strong as elite-level monsters, even if Even I don't dare to rush in rashly. The only way for ordinary adventurers to deal with them is to separate them using luring tactics and annihilate them one by one. Therefore, being chased by members of the council is definitely not an embarrassing thing. On the contrary, if you can escape in such a situation, you will be sought after by adventurers. Therefore, although the language of this message is a bit vicious, the content is still biased. Of praise...

By the way, Mephisto's lair - the third floor of the Cage of Hatred. There are also three mini-boss-level council members, namely Brim the Spark Fist, Venn the Void Finger, and Mav the Dragon Hand, but they are not together. Therefore, they are relatively easier to bully than the members of the Council of Cui Fank, but you must be careful and don't be careless because of this. Maybe there is a Blood King (Exile) hidden next to them who can give your team a fatal blow at any time. the final body). Even ordinary members of parliament.

The next news is...

"The xxx team unfortunately failed in the battle to challenge Mephisto. Only two of the six members of the team remained. Let us mourn for these dead brothers. They are worthy of respect. Warriors, and hope that the living can mourn and regroup. Rise up, avenge your dead comrades, and defeat the crazy forces of hell..."

"..."

Every word is filled with a solemn and solemn atmosphere. I couldn't help being silent for a while, yes, this is the Dark Continent, a world where human lives are like grass. How many powerful adventurers can survive to the third world? Even if we reach the third world, what will happen? What awaits will be a more cruel and never-ending battle...

Life always ends in death. No one can avoid this. The difference between good death and bad death is nothing but the time spent alive. What difference do you leave for yourself and others? We adventurers seem to be destined to not be able to choose the option of a good death. Fight, keep fighting, and then die in the battle. This is our fate, there is no escape. There is no way to regret it. We can only keep waving our weapons and use the enemy's life to delay our own death...

Well, I seem to have fallen into a heavy topic. Here is a little tip for you. When talking freely with other adventurers, never mention sensitive words such as "fate", otherwise you will experience the pleasure of being left in the cold. When you encounter an adventurer with a bad temper, perhaps the fate of the young mage yesterday was your "fate".

At this time, just think about my little angel Sarah, my caring little cotton-padded jacket Veras, and my two precious daughters, and I can immediately cheer up. This is based on experience, hum, I must be great.

After adjusting my mood, I continued to focus on the next news.

"The strange movements of the dwarfs... gathered in large numbers..." Khan, could it be like the monster attack at Rogge's camp? I continued reading in a cold sweat.

"It seems to be related to the elves..."

"Damn, there really are elves..."

I couldn't help but scream. Of course, I knew the existence of the elves. I mean, the elves, who were mysterious in the past, could be put on the table so easily?

"Nonsense, of course. Judging from the fuss you make, you must be an adventurer who has just come to Kurast. Hum, cheer for this. Soon you will be able to have a glimpse of the "legendary" elves. .”

A proud voice came from the side. Hey, it seemed familiar. I put the magazine down from my face and turned around to look...

"It's you!!"

The two people couldn't help but exclaimed in unison. The person who just spoke was the young mage who was bullied miserably by Princess Sanwu and I yesterday. He seemed to be called Fake Squid or something...

"It's Phoenix, Slife Phoenix. Didn't you say yesterday that I look like your cousin? Why did you forget it in the blink of an eye!!" As if he guessed what I was thinking from the confused expression on my face, this tragic mage He almost shouted at me.

"Oh, yes, it's little Slifu. Long time no see. How are you?" I suddenly realized.

"Long time no see. Please don't call me Slife, call me Phoenix, do you understand?" Phoenix found that he seemed to be completely unable to maintain his usual calmness and elegance in front of this devil in black. He paused and looked at me. asked.

"Hey. I don't seem to know your name yet." The look in his eyes couldn't be more clear: Boy, take it easy, I already gave my name yesterday, you should also know some manners.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I am Wu Fan, a level 27 druid Wu Fan, 26 years old. I am married and currently have three young and beautiful wives, and two smart and lovely twin daughters..."

"Shut up, wife and daughter. You want to stimulate me, right? Right! Eh? Wait, you said you are only level 27 and 26 years old? You are lying!! Haha, it must be a lie, what? possible……"

"Do you think I'm lying to you?"

I took a leisurely sip of juice. I folded the weekly magazine and put it down. Although this guy named Phoenix is ​​easy to deceive, I really didn't deceive him at this point.

"How could there be a 26-year-old level 27 adventurer? Did you change professions at the age of 16? And how could a level 27 adventurer come to Kurast? Who are you kidding? You idiot! Don't think that I will do it if you drink juice in a bar. I believe you."

Seeing that I didn't look like I was faking it, Phoenix slapped the table and stood up. He shouted in disbelief. Fortunately, there was no one else in the bar except a few waiters, otherwise he would have become the center of attention instantly.

An ordinary adventurer can be considered a genius if he can change professions before the age of 30 - except for mages. Because in addition to qualifications, they rely heavily on blood. For example, for the Horadric clan, it is not uncommon for them to change professions at the age of fourteen or fifteen. In history, it has never been heard that other professions except mages can change jobs at the age of 20. It’s no wonder that Phoenix doesn’t believe in those who changed jobs before (Note: The job transfer here refers to job changers, not mercenaries. Mercenaries are much easier than job transfers. Just like Princess Sanwu, you can become a 15-year-old at the age of 15 level mage, of course this is also related to her innate IQ and monster spawning leveling).

"Of course not, I changed jobs at the age of 23..."

I drank up the juice in one gulp and glared at Phoenix, "Asshole, do you have any objections to me drinking juice?" No one stipulates that juice represents age level.

"23 years old, that makes sense...wait a minute. You lied to me again. From 23 to 26, you were promoted from level 1 to level 27 in 3 years. God, I would rather believe that you changed professions at the age of 16 of."

Phoenix was dancing and spitting, almost going crazy. He was sure that the other party was deceiving him, but what was going on with those eyes that were completely disdainful of deception?

"Okay, okay, actually I lied to you. I'm 46 years old, so that's okay."

I gave it up and didn't want to get entangled with the other party on this boring issue. He couldn't think of it. I can only say that he couldn't wrap his mind around it. Could it be that what didn't exist before can't exist now? How can human beings progress and civilization be promoted? No wonder he is so easily deceived...

"That makes sense."

Phoenix sat down depressedly. Although he seemed to have won the argument and exposed the other party's lies, for some reason, he didn't feel any joy. He always felt that this victory was because the other party was perfunctory with him. It would be better to continue arguing. People are in a good mood.

It must be said that Phoenix has a personality that pays great attention to details and likes to get entangled.

"By the way, there's also the person next to me, my maid Morissa Hein, 17 years old, level 22 mage mercenary..."

Looking at Princess Sanwu who had been sitting next to me silently drinking tea, I introduced her. It would be even harder to ask Maurice to introduce herself. She had already bullied the mage badly enough yesterday, so let him go. Bar.

By the way, little Jasmine, can you really bring your own tea in a bar?

"It turns out to be Miss Hein. Hello, my name is Slife Phoenix. If you don't mind, I..."

Princess Sanwu glanced at Phoenix, who was chattering endlessly, and immediately made him swallow back half of what he said, and laughed. I guess it is very likely that Princess Sanwu's evil intentions have left a lasting impression in his heart. Obliterate the shadow, poor child.

"Ahem, okay, you said it in such detail, I'm too embarrassed to hide it..." In order to avoid the embarrassment caused by Princess Sanwu, Phoenix coughed a few times and said loudly.

No, we are not interested in your background. I picked up the weekly magazine again, and Princess Sanwu picked up the tea cup again.

"The name needs no introduction, occupation. Level 35 Wandering Wizard, 51 years old, an unmarried and sad poet full of intellectuality and sensibility who suddenly realized the importance of home at the age of 50..."

51 years old? When I heard this number, I almost swallowed my breath. I couldn't imagine that this little white-faced wizard was already a 51-year-old uncle. However, considering the lifespan of an adventurer, it is not impossible if he takes good care of himself. It's just that this is too surprising. No matter how you look at it, his appearance and personality look like he is only in his twenties or thirties.

Also, what’s with that disgusting introduction at the end? Do you really want to emphasize that you're in puberty?

In addition, the word "Wanderer" he added in front of his profession also caught my attention. It seemed a bit familiar. I scratched my head and thought about it, and finally remembered the introduction to them from Kane's book: Wanderers. . A type of adventurer who is unwilling to assume the obligations of an alliance adventurer, but is different from the willful degenerates. They are always alone, traveling on the continent with a self-satisfied attitude, and know how to restrain their own power. From time to time, they feel that they should do something for the entire Dark Continent. Unfortunately, such thoughts often do not last for a few days, so they are always hesitant and indecisive. Characteristics are optimism and cheerfulness, rich experience, and easier to deceive...

Binbo, absolutely correct. Kane is truly worthy of being a great scholar. This introduction seems to have been written with reference to the dear friend in front of me.

After Phoenix finished the introduction, he kept staring at me, seeing that I still looked bored. Can't help but feel a little happy.

"Brother Wu Fan, you are one of the few people who didn't show disdain after hearing about my identity. Although your mouth is a bit venomous, I have made you my friend." After saying this, he poured out the wine in the cup in one breath. He drank the ale and looked quite happy.

No. I think my disdain for you has reached its limit. It can't be increased, and who's mouth is poisonous? Who said I want to be friends with you? Don't feel good about yourself, you bastard, go and cool down.

Because wanderers are unwilling to take on the responsibilities of ordinary adventurers, they will always be more or less despised by some adventurers, just like hard-working top students who treat those guys who play all day long but maintain average grades. It's like being dismissive, thinking that they are obviously capable, but they are unwilling to study hard and only know how to have fun all day long. In fact, I think there should be some jealousy in it. Who doesn't want to live a carefree life?

If I hadn’t gotten to know Lal and Willas and the others, I might have become a wanderer. Let the magical girl do the great task of saving the world, and then I would just come back and be my wife, giving her the power to save the world. A girl’s happy sexual life, I can be considered as indirectly saving the world, huh huh...

Because wandering adventurers are always alone, their upgrade speed is generally much slower. Of course, they are replaced by richer experience than ordinary adventurers and a keener insight into danger. If they want to survive in the dangerous darkness, Ranger, it's definitely not possible without a few unique skills.

"By the way, the proprietress of the hotel said that if you come back again, your third leg will be broken. Aren't you afraid?"

I asked while reading the weekly magazine. There is really a lot of news about the elves. Maybe in the near future, I will be lucky enough to witness the elves. Legend has it that they are all handsome men and beauties. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but of course, the elf princess, who has a 95% chance of appearing in vulgar novels, also makes me a little jealous.

"Tsk, tsk, I just said you are still young. What is the most important thing for us adventurers? Do you understand the information? I have already found out clearly that the boss lady usually doesn't get up until three o'clock in the sun. She doesn't even know this. Really? I don’t know how your team got into Kurast.”

Phoenix gave me a very unkind answer with a very thoughtful expression.

Team? His words touched me a little. Do I really have a so-called team now? Maybe, for example, the little ghost with Jiajiaxue, the Sanwu Princess who ignores my identity as the master, the dead dog who can only be angry with me, the little mermaid who can sing songs that make people sleep, Thinking about it this way, my team is really a bit magical.

"But it seems that the maid named Oona is no longer here."

I looked around, but I didn't find the maid. Although it was just a glimpse yesterday, it was enough for me to remember her appearance, because she is a beauty...

"Yes, it must be the damn boss lady who told her not to come here for the time being. Damn it. This murderer who kills marriage, the punishment of the goddess of love will come to her sooner or later." Phoenix punched the table hard. The expression on her face was quite angry, as if she was really the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl whose good deeds were broken up by the Queen Mother of the West.

However, I think he is more like Ximen Qing...

"Forget it, Oona isn't here, let's go find the next target." Phoenix said with the air of a third-rate coach who said, "We lost the Champions League, but we still have the league game." Stand up and clench your fists.

I responded boredly and listened without raising my head as Phoenix opened the bar door and left.

"Waiter, pay."

About 10 seconds later, I snapped my fingers, paid for the juice and the weekly, and hurriedly followed Phoenix with Princess Sanwu.

What, why do you want to follow? Don't you think Phoenix was born with the face of a tragic character? Aren't you curious how he will be dumped this time?

However, Phoenix is ​​worthy of being a wandering adventurer. He was even more vigilant than Amazon. I hadn't been following him for a few minutes before he was discovered.

"Why are you following me? You were obviously indifferent just now." Phoenix looked at me warily.

"Well, it's nothing. It's just that I think as a friend, shouldn't I cheer for you the moment you succeed?" I flattered you against my will.

"That's it. If that's the case, I'll let you follow me, but I'll make it clear in advance. Don't make trouble for me later." Phoenix seemed very happy to hear what I said.

I nodded indifferently, feeling that even if I didn't cause trouble, he would be destined to end in tragedy.

"Listen to me, the goal this time is very certain. I have been getting close since last month and have cultivated our goodwill."

"..."

Last month, I seemed to know why the maid named Oona rejected Phoenix. As long as a man from a good family still has some awareness of a good woman, he will probably not like a man who sweetly confesses his love to you while at the same time making advances to other girls. As for why Oona knows about it, it is not surprising. Don’t forget her. She's a maid working in a bar. Where is the bar? The place where gossip is most concentrated.

"I think I know why you were dumped by Oona." I said bluntly. Hope this guy wakes up. Maybe there's still time to win back the heart of the maid named Oona.

"Are you saying that I am half-hearted? Is that so? Oh -, maybe it is. But how can you understand the sorrow of a man who has been rejected by 53 girls in a row? People always I will prepare a way out for myself, what's wrong with that?" My words seemed to hit Phoenix's pain point, and he immediately jumped up like a grasshopper and roared.

Congratulations, you have perfectly matched Sakuragi Hanamichi.

Under the leadership of Phoenix, about an hour later, we arrived at the northern district of Kurast, the so-called civilian area. We walked around for a while and stopped in front of a dilapidated cabin.

"Lena, are you there? I'm Phoenix."

"Hey, Lord Phoenix, I'm coming."

A girl's voice came from inside the room, with joy in her tone. Could it be that the tragic Phoenix is ​​finally about to blossom and bear fruit after experiencing 53 love breakups?

Soon, the door was opened, and a delicate girl in simple clothes, who was a little pale and thin due to long-term lack of nutrition, came out. The most eye-catching thing was the two sweet dimples on her face, and her smile was very simple and cute.

Phoenix looked at me proudly, as if to say, look, my friend has good taste.

"Lena, how have you been lately?" After casting a glance at me, Phoenix turned back and said to the girl in a gentle voice that made my skin crawl all over.

"Yes, thanks to your help, my mother's condition is much better. You are really the savior of our family." Lina said with gratitude from the bottom of her heart, and bowed deeply to Phoenix with moist eyes.

It turns out that this guy actually used the target's relatives to achieve the purpose of capturing the target, but I have to say that this is indeed a method with a high success rate.

Just when Phoenix couldn't hide his pride and I was marveling that this guy finally got the results, the tragedy had just begun.

"Lina, who's here?" A rough male voice came from inside the house.

"My dear, it's the kind-hearted mage I told you."

Hearing the voice, Lina immediately laughed sweetly, and then, a taller than me, a tall, thick and hairy man with bare breasts walked out of the room. Lina put her arm around her with a look of happiness on her face. He grabbed the opponent's arm that was thicker than his own legs.

Honey?

Phoenix's expression was a little confused, obviously he hadn't reacted yet, or maybe he didn't want to react.

"Mr. Phoenix, this is my husband Audi. We just got married a few days ago." Lina introduced with a blush on her face.

"Hello, respected mage, my name is Audi. Because I sell pork, everyone calls me Pork Dee." The rough man scratched his head naively and saluted Phoenix respectfully.

"My dear, Lord Phoenix is ​​our savior. Without him, my family would have collapsed long ago, and I would never have met you." Lina looked at her husband lovingly.

"Dear, then we should really thank the Master."

Zhu Zhudi glanced at his wife tenderly, then his face became solemn, and he and Lina bowed to Phoenix together.

"Master Phoenix, thank you so much. You are such a good person."

In the end, it was me who carried Phoenix, who was already stiff, and left.

"It doesn't matter, he is just so happy to see that Lina you can find a home." I said to the sweet newlywed couple.

"Why, why is this happening?"

Facing the swaying lake water, Phoenix murmured to himself after waking up and fell into a state of madness.

"Don't be discouraged. Maybe Lina just feels that the gap between them is too big, so she doesn't dare to think about it at all." I must be a friend enough to come up with such a perfect lie.

"Yes, that must be the case."

Oh, Phoenix cheered up immediately. He was worthy of being a man who had fallen out of love 53... no, 54 times.

Saying this, he suddenly stood up and glanced around the area, as if he was planning to heal himself with a new round of love. Didn't he mention that there is a saying that the best way to forget a lost love is to move on and find another love?

Soon, he found his target, and walked forward majestically. He waved his hands like a magician, then flicked again, and his left hand turned out roses, and his right hand turned out candy. Then he knelt on one knee in front of a man who was only about five or six years old. year old girl in front.

"This lovely little sister, are you interested in making a ten-year appointment with your uncle?"

Hey hey! ! What do you want to do, you pervert?

The little girl held her fingers in her mouth, her eyes fell on the candy, and she showed an expression of wanting to eat it.

"Xiao Lin, what are you doing? Come here quickly."

At this time, a boy about the same age as the girl cried out behind her. Upon hearing the voice, the little girl immediately turned away under Phoenix's dull eyes, but after running a few steps, she turned around again. , ran back slowly, letting Phoenix's eyes show a glimmer of light again...
