Diablo Destruction

"Hey, I'm talking about Gorilla, don't you think this rumor is too detailed?"

When I saw Gott rummaging through his body to find a few cracked gems and about to set them into grooves, I couldn't help but reach out my hand to stop him.

"Eh? Is gorilla already a fixed name? At least call me Gorilla Knight, Gorilla Knight, you bastard!!"

Gott turned around and suddenly begged me with tears streaming down his face.

"Okay, Gorilla Knight, don't you think this rumor is a bit too detailed?"

In fact, I personally think that Orangutan Knight seems to be a bit more unpleasant than Gorilla. Surely it is because his taste as an orangutan is not at the same level as mine, who has created countless famous names? Anyway, if Gao Te likes it so much...

"Oh, is this what it is? Isn't this bad?"

Gott scratched the back of his head, looking like he wanted to laugh but was trying to hold back his pride. He seemed to be very proud that his opinion was adopted and he was called the Gorilla Knight. He was really a sad guy, the kind of person who makes people sad. The smile is just like a starving orangutan who suddenly found a mung bean on the ground and suddenly became happy when he felt sad and desperate because he lost a sesame seed.

"It's not good at all, bastard!! Think about it seriously. If the rumor is really recorded in such detail, then I want to ask you a question - the spreaders of this rumor, those idle adventurers, Why not open the altar yourself, take the treasure as your own, go through all the trouble to do this, just to create such a rumor, and then leave the treasure to future generations?"

"That's what I heard from you."

Gott frowned and showed a thoughtful expression. It seemed that he had finally discovered the suspicious part of this rumor.

Then, he clapped his hands, as if he had figured something out, and looked suddenly enlightened. He turned his head, his eyes sparkling with tears of emotion.

"I see. It turns out that's the case. Those adventurers are really good people. They actually left the treasure to future generations."

"..."

No, I have no common language with this orangutan.

I no longer believe the authenticity of this so-called rumor, but it turned out to be left behind by the senior adventurers. No matter what, it will not harm anyone, so I did not stop this stupid orangutan from humming an off-key ditty. , setting the cracked gemstones in his hand into the grooves one by one.

There are four pillars in the four corners, and each pillar has a groove. In other words, only four crack-level gems are needed to open this magic circle - of course, this is assuming that the rumors are true. In my opinion, this rumor, which is 100% a hoax, will probably end up making a "pop" sound from the altar, releasing a firework, and forming a line of fireworks in the sky with the words "You have been fooled, idiot!", which is enough.

"Hahaha, there's only one left. What kind of earth-shattering scene will happen? I'm really looking forward to it."

Arriving at the last stone pillar, Gaut took a few deep breaths and revealed his excited eyes.

"Yes, what exactly will happen? It's really exciting."

I crossed my arms and yawned in agreement with Gott, while looking at him with pity.

This poor kid probably wasn't deceived by [Tualatin's Taunt] at the Demon Fortress (think about it, it was already decades ago when Gott arrived at the Demon Fortress in the first world) , Tualatin is probably not there yet), so he is not yet aware of the dangers of the world, and the boring pranks that those idle adventurers can do.

However, the method of inlaying gems reminded me of some profound memory fragments.

I remember that the first time I came into contact with this kind of thing was in the Stone Wilderness. At that time, I was entrusted by Kane to open the portal to Tristram. From him, I saw the beautiful shape of the complete gem for the first time. It's a pity that it will be squandered immediately, and corruption cannot be tolerated. When the gems were set, I felt distressed for a long time.

Each of the five stone pillars in the stone wilderness corresponds to a type of gem. You cannot set it incorrectly, otherwise the consequences will be serious. I feel that this approach has the rigor of magic, and like now, as long as it is cracked Any type of super gem can be set in it, it's like making fun of magic.

What I remember more deeply are the two portals on the journey to the Horadric tribe. Among them, the portal from the palace prison to the mysterious sanctuary has no energy, and a flawless gem must be inlaid. At that time, Rogge was the first The stingy old man Farah was so distressed - his old face was twisted like a plate of spaghetti.

Then there is the portal from the Mysterious Sanctuary to the Horadric clan. There are seven grooves for flawless gems. This almost scared the old man Farah out of his wits. Fortunately, there are already gems in the seven grooves. As long as Just use the Horadric Staff to open it, but old man Farah soon became distressed - can these seven gems really not be mined? At any rate, we have also rescued the Horadric clan from being trapped for thousands of years. Let these seven gems be regarded as a thank you gift to us.

I think Rogge, the most stingy man, must have thought this in his heart at the time. It was just because his old enemy Kane was watching him, fearing that he would do something that would harm the reputation of the Adventurers Alliance, that he finally choked up his words. in my heart.

If you think about it this way, the former is rigor and the latter is quality. Comparing the current model of the altar with these, it has neither rigor nor quality. It completely falls into the category of three-no projects. It’s a shame that Gaote still has it. Can't find anything at all.

"What? Wu, did you just say something?"

Gott was trembling with his arms, swallowing a mouthful of saliva, trying to put the last cracked gem on it, when he suddenly raised his head and looked at me with doubtful eyes.

"It's nothing, just do your business. I'm looking forward to the next moment."

I secretly "tsk" and turned my head away. Are my ears particularly sharp because I am an animal? He even heard the words I unconsciously muttered.

"Oh, of course, I'm looking forward to it more than you."

Gott waved his arms enthusiastically. Probably because of this conversation, his hands stopped shaking and his heart stopped beating. Even the orangutan statue seemed to have been cured. In short, he firmly and powerfully removed the cracked gem. Inlaid on.

Yes, I'm looking forward to it too, but what I'm looking forward to is not what will happen later, but what I look forward to when I see your expression when you are being fooled.

I looked away silently and added this in my mind.

With a "click", the last gem was firmly inserted by Gaut. There was a moment of silence. Just when Gaut and I both showed confused expressions, the four pillars suddenly buzzed, and rays of light came from The gem-encrusted core flowed out and rushed from the ground to the magic circle in the center of the temple. The originally dim magic circle suddenly glowed with a pale white glow after receiving these rays of light.

Uh... It's a shame they were able to bring this news out.

At this time, I still firmly believe that this must be a prank by those bastard adventurers. It is absolutely true. There are too many flaws, and only a fool like Gott will fall for it.

The light of the magic circle around the altar gradually changed from white to shining, until it was a bit dazzling. Suddenly, the four stone pillars stopped vibrating, and the four cracked gems embedded in the grooves also appeared due to the energy consumption. Rough and gray, there was a crisp crackling sound, cracks appeared on the surface, and then turned into powder and fell down.

As the gems shattered, the white light of the magic circle around the altar gradually dimmed, and finally returned to darkness.

"Huh?"

After waiting for a while, except for the seemingly earth-shattering sound just now, there was nothing, and the legendary treasures were nowhere to be seen. Gaut couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise, and made an unbelievable sound of surprise.

Look, I knew it was a joke.

I curled my lips and watched with interest as Gaut opened his mouth wide until his jaw was about to dislocate and fall off the roof of his mouth.

You can vaguely guess the reason why there are four crack-level gems, because for the adventurers of Harrogas, if they can get here, they must be at least an elite team, and four crack-level gems will be a big threat to them. It's not a big loss to say the least.

Pranks are pranks. If the adventurers suffer significant financial losses, it goes beyond the scope of pranks. The adventurers who spread the rumors are still a bit measured, just like Tualatin's [Legend of Artifacts]. It is the same as it is spread among those adventure teams who are recognized by him and have enough strength to enter the cave.

So, that's it, Gott...well, to be precise, the two of us who were called here by him were tricked, and we were shot at by those idle and miserable senior adventurers. little joke.

"How could this happen? I was obviously looking forward to it..."

When I explained this to Gott with my shoulders hunched, he knelt down weakly.

"Damn it, those bastards dared to deceive my feelings. Who are they? Who are they? They dared to deceive the Orangutan Knight my feelings. Where are they? I want to teach them a lesson!!"

The clay figurine also has a certain fire nature. Gott suddenly jumped up, took out the scroll that he had stayed up all night to make and recorded the rumors, tore it into pieces and threw them into the sea of ​​lava, and then burst into flames. Yelling, swinging the sword and dashing around, it seemed as if those pranksters would really pop out of the air because of his words.

"I know where they are."

Seeing that Gott was so angry, I felt the need to help him and vent my anger, so I raised my hand and said.

"Wu, do you know where they are? Where are they? Tell me quickly, I will strip them naked and hang them upside down on the gate of Rogge's camp to show the public."

Gott appeared in front of me, gritting his teeth and shaking my shoulders desperately.

"..."

It turns out that you also know that it is very embarrassing to strip naked and be watched by people. Then please don’t do embarrassing things like running naked by the river to embarrass Karina in the future.

I looked at Gott quite speechlessly.

"From what you said, this rumor should have been widely circulated when you were in Harrogath, the first world, right?"

"Yeah, yes, that's right, Wu, you are so smart."

Gorilla nodded, seemingly not understanding the meaning of my words. I would only feel sad if such an idiot praised me.

"That is to say, the adventurers who left the rumors were the predecessors before you, and according to the popularity of the rumors at that time, this time should be between a few years and decades. If you guess this way, if they are not practicing If he died on the way, he should be in the third world now."

"..."

Gott suddenly became petrified.

"Then, even if you catch up to the third world later, if those people are not mediocre, they will definitely be able to easily plant your head in the vegetable field with the advantage of time. Do you understand what I mean? ?”

Gott nodded stiffly, having said this, if he still didn't understand, he might as well just call him a plant gorilla from now on.

"It seems there is no hope of revenge."

Letting go of my shoulders, Gott let out a long sigh, then he didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes suddenly shone again.

"Wu, do you still have me? With your current strength in the field, you should be able to say this easily." Turning back, the gorilla looked at me with eyes full of hope.

"This is impossible." I made a big cross with my arm.

"With my current situation, it is impossible for me to easily escape to the third world."

"That's right."

Gott went from hope to despair, and became dejected again like a deflated balloon.

Although I am responsible for doing odd jobs, I am also an alliance elder after all. How can I just go to a place like the third world that is easy to go and hard to return to? Without me, who would Akara find to do odd jobs?

Although this is not something to be proud of.

In fact, there is another reason I didn't say. Even if I go to the third world, I will not go to the trouble of those seniors, because this is entirely Gott's own fault. With such flawful rumors, ordinary people simply can't. I don't believe it. I can only blame myself for being stupid. I really can't hate the adventurers who left the rumors. Even if I go to question them in my spare time, I will definitely be laughed at as a fool. I won't do it.

Moreover, when it comes to revenge, the one who ranks first in my mind is definitely the old drunkard, that bastard, and Belial is far behind! !

"Let's just take it as a lesson. Let's go. There's no point in staying here."

After resting for a while, I took one last look at the empty temple, turned around and left.

"wait……"

Before Gao Te finished speaking, suddenly, the entire altar shook violently, several times more violently than before! !

"what happened?"

I quickly squatted down, stabilized my body, and turned around. I saw Gaut stunned for a moment. Suddenly, like a mad scientist who had completed his masterpiece, he stumbled to the altar regardless of the shaking of the ground, and raised his hands in the sky. He threw his head back and laughed wildly.

"Hahahahahaha, I knew those lovely seniors wouldn't lie. The treasure, the treasure finally appeared."

"..."

Who was calling who just now, a bastard and a son-in-law?

I secretly complained, and then turned my attention to the source of this strong earthquake - the altar burning with scarlet fire.

From the ferocious eyes of the winged demon entrenched on the stone pillars at the four corners, eight red rays of light were suddenly projected. The eight red rays of red light all gathered on the flame in the center of the altar. At the same time, the surrounding sea of ​​lava also roared. As it stood up, huge waves of lava were swaying one after another. The violently shaking temple was like a bumpy boat, and it seemed that it would be submerged by these terrible red waves at any time.

Against the background of these earth-shattering power, a neat crack suddenly opened in the center of the altar, and slowly opened to both sides.

In this case, is there really something hidden underneath?

I was very skeptical about the rumors. Seeing this earth-shattering scene, I couldn't help but feel shaken in my heart.

Is this really the case? This magic circle tests the adventurer's patience. The first scene is fake. If the adventurer loses patience and leaves at this time, will he miss the opportunity to truly witness the treasure?

If you think about it this way, it does seem to make sense, and it also makes sense why the adventurers still failed to discover the treasure despite such detailed records - these adventurers did want to play a prank, and they experienced The first illusion did not reveal the truth, thinking that this was all, so they lost patience and left, leaving these rumors to tease future generations, but they did not know that the real treasure was real, but they were not patient enough and missed it. That’s all.

Although this statement is a bit forced, adventurers are generally very patient, otherwise they would not be idle and spend a lot of time doing various mischief.

In short, the current scene seems to have been deceived by this idiot Gott, who gave stupid people a stupid blessing.

I was thinking like this. At this time, a two-meter-wide crack opened in the middle of the entire altar. It finally stopped, and then the violent vibrations disappeared. If the altar that was suddenly open was not still there, I would have thought that it was just a crack. An illusion.

"Sacred weapon, my sacred weapon, hum~~"

Humming various nonsensical tunes, Gaut finally calmed down, and slowly crawled toward the crack on the altar with arrogant steps. He didn't forget to turn around and ask me to come with him.

Okay, let's take a look at what it is, and hope a demon doesn't suddenly pop out of it.

With an uneasy heart, I followed up. The man's sixth sense kept beating in my heart, seeming to remind me that as a tragedy, things could not go so smoothly.

"Look, it really is a treasure. It's true, right!!"

Standing at the altar, Hassan looked into the crack, and Gott immediately shouted.

Inside the two-meter-wide gap, there is a square, artificially carved pit, inside which lies a large red treasure chest. The simple shape seems to be emitting a "good stuff inside" The mysterious atmosphere...
