The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Go here."

Kane stood on his cane and walked into the secret road.

This secret road is very long, and Zelin estimated the distance in his mind. After walking forward for more than fifty meters, a ladder appeared on the ground with extinguished torches hanging on both sides of the ladder, and a thick layer of dust fell on the stone stairs. The demon hunter took out a soul stone, and with the help of the gleam of the stone, they could see the situation around them clearly.

This tunnel may not have been used for many years, and the boots left obvious footprints after being stepped on.

"Can you tell me here?" Li Min's big eyes looked at the ancient traces curiously: "Is there any way I can completely kill the Skeleton King?"

"The method originated from Leoric's crown." Kane crouched and walked very slowly. He must be very old. The wind and sun left indelible marks on him: "Back then Aidan When he killed the Skeleton King, he took off his crown, so the skeleton king’s figure shattered, he could no longer be reborn, and harmed the world. But the power of the meteorite must have given Leoric’s soul more powerful strength. It can bring back the dead to fight for him again."

"So you have to find Leoric's crown, right?" Zelin followed Kane and walked up the steps. They walked a long way. There were at least fifty steps: "Finding the crown, Ling is already dead. The Skeleton King resurrected and killed it again. It sounds terrible. To deal with a monster, you must first completely resurrect him."

"Everything is because of the meteor. Originally, Leoric’s soul could not have such power, but the meteor must have landed close to his throne. After Aidan won, he gave it to him. The family of one of Leoric’s ministers. Minister Eamon was killed when Leoric went mad. Aidan hoped that his family would help, hide the crown, and never let anyone find it, so as not to fall into the bad guys. Resurrection of Leoric by the hand of his hand."

Kane stopped and seemed to think of something. He rubbed the corners of his eyes before moving on. There was a trace of sorrow in his voice: "The heroes of Kanduras fought hard to defeat the black mad king and the fear king, but now Both the Fear King and the Skeleton King got rid of the seal, but the heroes... alas. Let’s go."

At the end of the stairs is the other side of the stone gate, Kane found a handle behind the stone gate. After turning the handle, Shimen moved to the side, and the starlight outside shone on the secret road that had been in darkness for many years.

The exit of the secret road was behind an angel statue, passing around the statue, Zelin saw a cemetery full of dilapidated tombstones, and a circle of rusty metal fences surrounded the cemetery. Some tombs have been opened, and the soil is fresh. You can know the status of the owners of these tombs without much consideration.

Kane breathed the cool air greedily. This is a cemetery on the hillside, and the cathedral on the top of the hill is shrouded in night. In the distance, there is an iron fence gate, which is locked by an iron chain, blocking the road leading to the back mountain.

"The family of Minister Ammon did not leave this land." Kane exhaled slowly: "Perhaps, the members of the Ammon family still know the whereabouts of the crown. There is a blacksmith in New Tristram, Hegrid. Ammon, he should know where the crown is hidden..."

Chapter 2655: Hell Story

Zelin didn't expect that Deca Kane could survive the meteorite fall without being injured.

He hid in a catacomb full of monsters and cultists for four days, and finally escaped. Although he was almost overtaken by the Skeleton King's minions, the final result was not bad.

By the time he returned to New Tristram, it was already light.

"Uncle, you are still alive!"

Liya excitedly gave her uncle a hug: "Great, uncle! I can hardly believe that if you are not here anymore, what should I do."

"Oh, oh, thanks to you and your friends." The beard on the corner of Kane's mouth moved a little, showing a kind smile, and gently patted his niece on the back: "Tap, tap, I'm already I’m getting older and older, and I can’t cross the river with you on my back for a long time. When one day, my books and career will be entrusted to you to complete."

"What are you talking about, uncle." Liya smiled and rubbed the corner of her eyes: "Your legs and feet are much better than many people. Those Kartim nobles are only in their thirties, and they have to rely on people to carry them. They've walked. Uncle, the distance you've walked, they won't be able to walk forever."

"When your uncle was in the catacombs, he even blocked the attack of the skeleton soldiers with his cane." Zelin said, "Anyway, Kane, you are fine. Liya is especially worried about your safety these days. , Did not sleep for almost two days and nights."

"I'm not tired." Leah shook her head, and she looked around: "Last night, a magician came to New Tristram and asked me about the meteorite. I told her that you have gone to the cathedral. Did you meet her?"

"Yes, we came back together, but she went directly to Hegrid."

After returning to New Tristram, Li Min asked Zelin about the residence of the blacksmith Hegrid, and immediately rushed to the backstreet. She was full of confidence, thinking that Leoric was the enemy she was going to deal with, and she was the hero destined to solve the black madman again. She wants to return to the catacombs again as soon as possible to deal with Leoric. Zelin rarely saw a confident and proud person like Li Min. Most mages were either confident or proud, but few would consider themselves a natural hero.

"But in the cathedral, I found something." Kane stroked the snow-white beard hanging on his chest: "As mentioned in the doomsday prophecy, the appearance of the meteorite is a harbinger of the doomsday..."

"Please, uncle." Liya rolled her eyes and said with this expression again: "Stop telling stories. The most important thing now is that you are back."

"Liya, you shouldn't ignore the signs that appear so lightly." Kane exhorted: "Don't you believe the signs that appear in front of you?"

"Fear once came to Tristram, but it survived." Leah seemed to be suspicious of Kane's words, but dismissed the doomsday: "This is just another terrifying disaster, but the people here It will survive in the end, and the end will not come, as it has never appeared in the past few thousand years."

"The end is coming?" Zelin scratched the back of his head. He has heard many similar words. In the world he has been to, there will be more or less similar rumors and prophecies, but most of them are just disasters or even a few. Unfounded rumors: "If the dead come back to life and attack the living, it is indeed the end of the day for a remote town that does not have the power to protect itself."

"No, no." Kane shook his head sadly: "This is only part of the doomsday prophecy, and the appearance of the meteorite is the first part. But to prevent the doomsday from coming, we must figure out what is going on with this meteorite. What kind of power and secrets does it contain? Perhaps unlocking these secrets can help us fight the hell's minions. That's right, the arrival of the doomsday is exactly the invasion that **** will launch into the mortal world."

"Tell me, what is going on in hell?"

In the world of demon hunters, Zelin has heard many missionaries claim that evildoers will go to hell, and those who believe can ascend to heaven. But Zelin is very clear that after death, everyone will enter the world of the dead ruled by the **** of death, which is a world divided by a veil from the world of the living.

"Speaking of hell, it is a very vague and ancient history." Kane cleared his throat: "The **** where demons live is one of the worlds closest to the world of sanctuary where we are, and angels. The high-level heavens where we live are the first two worlds to appear. Hell has three most powerful rulers, Diablo, King of Fear, Mephisto, King of Hatred, and Baal, King of Destruction. They are collectively referred to as the Three Demon. Under the three demon gods, there are four demon kings, namely Queen Andariel of Torment, Duriel, King of Pain, Azmodan, King of Sin, and Belie, King of Lies. The demons have always wanted to invade us. Just twenty years ago, the demon gods and demon kings of **** entered the sanctuary world. Fortunately, under the fighting of the heroes and the suppression of the world stone, Mephisto, Baal, Andariel, and Durui Both El and Diablo have been defeated. However, the World Stone was destroyed after the battle with Baal. I am very worried that without the suppression of the World Stone, Azmodan and Belial might not be able to wait to become stronger. , Invade the world of sanctuary."

"It turned out to be so." Zelin sighed.

It sounds a lot like the invasion of the Burning Legion in Azeroth.

"I must be careful and cautiously looking for every clue, and warn the world...cough cough." Kane coughed a few times: "Compared with power, the demons of **** are better at corrupting and bewitching people. Many. The hero did not fall into the duel with the devil, but fell into madness due to curse and corruption, and eventually fell to the devil."

"What about heaven?" Zelin noticed that Kane mentioned another world that is comparable to hell: "What is heaven like?"

"Alright, uncle." Liya said, her eyes under her side bangs glanced at Zelin with dissatisfaction: "You just came back, thirsty and tired, you need a good rest. I will take you to eat and drink. Water, you must lie down and sleep on the bed. Otherwise, if you are tired, who will protect those ancient and precious scrolls? People will only treat those scrolls as rubbish, and only you can play their true value. By the way, Zelin."

Liya suddenly thought of something: "At dawn today, a companion of yours came to town."

"Companion?" Zelin was surprised: "Who?"

"She is also a demon hunter." Liya said, "She's Vera. I told her about you, and then she went outside to look for you. It looks like you must have missed it, so she left. To one hour."

Chapter 2656 The Mayor Who Flees

A real sanctuary witcher.

This is not a good thing for Zelin. No one knows better than him that he is not a demon hunter at all, but a demon hunter from another world. Pretending to be a demon hunter can explain why his eyes are distinctive bright gold. He couldn't make Francesca use magic to create a disguise for himself. His eyes were very sensitive to the stimulation of magical energy, so that potions like cat potions could take effect immediately after drinking. He once asked Francesca to do this, and the result was that he shed tears all day.

"You seem to be very preoccupied, my friend."

Varif became a frequent visitor to the cattle slaughter hotel. After Zelin led the zombies outside the city to annihilate that evening, he returned to the woods and brought back the carriage and cargo. He didn't lose anything. Early the next morning, the horses that ran away came back, and his goods became a rare source of supplies in the besieged town. Bron, the innkeeper, bought all the food and drinks, and exempted Varif from staying here. After all, in this era, no one would go to such a dangerous and remote place to live in.

"Is there?" Zelin sat on the bench and looked at the sun gradually slanting in the distance. The blood-red light enveloped this troubled land: "I feel okay. Although it is a lot of trouble, At least the situation is gradually getting better. Everyone is back, and then we must consider how to solve the remaining troubles, the Skeleton King who commands everything in the catacombs."

"Maybe, but I always think that I know how to look at a person's mind, and sometimes I have to use it in negotiations." Varif put the tobacco in the paper, then rolled it up, and handed it to Zelin: "You I was thinking about things in the hotel all day today. I don't know what to think about, but at this time, a businessman like me is useless. People like you who live by killing demons and slayers are about to show their talents. One?"

"Thank you."

Zelin leaned over, clamped the cigarette with two fingers, snapped his fingers, a flame came out from between his fingers, lit the cigarette, and then lit Varif's pipe again.

"Magic is really convenient." Varif smiled and said with emotion: "Save a little, this is the last part. If the monster's blockade of the road outside the city cannot be broken in seven days, we can only pray that the fishermen can catch more fish. , Or ask the boatman if he can take us to Westmar."

"I remember Mayor Holmes sent someone to Westmar to ask for help. How was the situation?"

The people in the town are very nervous, the crazy King Leoric once tortured this land, and the town was destroyed by the demon invasion. But for people nowadays, that is a thing of the past, a story that can be told to outsiders. No one is afraid of the story, because the story will not turn a book into a monster and bite your nose. But when the evil characters in the story reappeared in front of people, this pastime quickly turned into panic, especially after the ration system was implemented.

I am afraid that in two days, the ration that everyone can get will be reduced by a little bit. Originally there were fertile farmland outside New Tristram, but the farmers in the village had long since fled their homes, some fled to New Tristram, and some completely lost track. Every day when they receive food, everyone wants to know how much is left in the warehouse. But Larton sent guards to guard him, and no one was allowed to approach him.

"I don't know, but it **** no matter what I think." Varif took a deep breath, and pointed behind him with his finger in his pipe.

They were sitting on the benches by the wall of the cattle slaughterhouse. Behind the corner next door is the path leading to the backstreet: "Look over there, it's almost a day."

Zelin turned his head and saw a carriage with a broken wheel parked in the middle of the road leading to the back street, blocking the entire road. Li Min, who came back from the backstreet, stood beside the car, frowning angrily.

"Can't you move this thing away?" She pinched her waist with one hand and tilted her head slightly: "You are in my way."

"How dare you talk to me like this!" Holmes was confident: "I'm the mayor here!"
