Chapter 63 The Paladin who is not worthy of a name
Although it was a little different from what I remembered, the golden ponytail and the red outfit on her body reminded Louis of the Amazon female warrior among the five major professions of Diablo.
The other party stopped when he saw Louis, his eyes full of curiosity - mainly targeting Louis' clothing and the rifle he was holding.
In addition to being curious, there is also a bit of vigilance. The simple armor on my body only protects a few key points. Those positions that are not protected reveal clear muscle lines, which seem to be demonstrating my own strength.
"Hello!" Louis looked briefly and said hello. Only then did he notice that he had mastered a new language.
"Is there anything?" The female warrior opposite kept a distance from Louis, standing there with weapons casually. Louis saw that she could defend against her own sneak attack at any time and launched a counterattack.
Holding the rifle in one hand, then spreading its left hand to indicate that it was not malicious: "My name is Louis, I have no malicious intentions. I just want to ask you how far is the nearest town?"
After seeing Louis's unintentional action, the female warrior relaxed a little vigilant: "Hello, my name is Casia... If you want to go to the nearest town, then continue to walk along this road for about a few days!"
When Louis heard the female warrior named Casia say that it would take several days to see the town, he sighed in his heart and said that he was unlucky. This time he actually landed so far from the town, and asked tentatively: "Where are you going to the monastery?"
"Monastery?" Cassia seemed a little surprised: "Didn't you come from the monastery?"
"What?" Louis suddenly realized something...
"The monastery is not far from behind you."
“…”
Louis sighed in his heart, and he was indeed going against the trend; if he was going in another direction, he should be in Rogue's camp now, right?
"Don't you know the road?" Cassia was a little surprised. No matter where a normal person was going, since he dared to go alone, he had to know how to go, right? Louis suddenly appeared, and there was no way to make her care.
"I wanted to take a shortcut, but after walking a while, I was a little lost. Fortunately, I found this path and I met you again not long after."
"So that's it!" Louis' explanation was quite reasonable, and the other party was very young, so he might be a rookie with no travel experience: "If you want to go to the monastery, you can go with me... But I heard that something happened in the monastery, maybe you'll be better off going in the other direction now."
Louis shook his head. He knew that the "condition" Cassia mentioned refers to the invasion of dark forces. As an Amazon warrior, Cassia believes that eliminating three demons is the fate of Amazon warriors. This time the dark force suddenly surged, and she decided to go to the area with the most serious dark forces to investigate the situation. If it was really those legendary demons who were causing trouble, she would fulfill the responsibilities of Amazon warriors.
Louis's own mission is to fight against the darkness, and it is obvious that he has to face the demons from hell: when he met the Amazon warrior Cassia, he had already confirmed that this was the world of Diablo 2. Now it should be before the game content began, Cassia had not arrived at the Rogue camp, which was the beginning of the first act.
"Let's go out together, I want to see what's going on there too!"
After Louis expressed his attitude, Cassia regarded this young man as her "comrade". She knew that there were many people or forces that could detect the invasion of the dark power. She would definitely meet all kinds of people along the way, but she didn't expect to meet the first one so soon.
"So that's the case, let's go together!" Cassia nodded and walked along the path with Louis. She would also be curious about what Louis was holding in his hand?
Noting Cassia's gaze, Louis introduced the rifle in his hand in an easy-to-understand way: "a weapon similar to a crossbow."
In addition, after moving forward for a while, he could occasionally encounter pale and festered zombies on both sides of the road, or even in the middle of the road. Louis directly showed the power of the weapons in his hand and received some praise from Cassia: "A very exquisite weapon."
As for power, Cassia has no comment. In the eyes of this excellent female Amazon warrior, this weapon is just that, far less powerful than the bow and arrow on her body. As an excellent Amazon warrior, Cassia can inject her original magic into the arrows and shoot arrows with powerful effects such as freezing, explosions, etc.
However, she did not underestimate Louis. As an experienced warrior, she saw that Louis had received training and had good physical fitness. No wonder she ran out to investigate the reasons for the surge in dark power.
After all, those who can detect and have the confidence to come to investigate such things are quite confident in their own strength. Even if many people die halfway, no one of these people who fail to reach the end is a real ordinary person.
For example, the corpse lying on the road now...
"From his beautiful armor and some notes found in the salute, this should be the Paladin of the Sakalam Order. But I heard that the Paladin has been divided, so I don't know what the specific situation is." After carefully checking, Cassia made such a judgment.
This result made Louis speechless: The Paladin just died like this? Brother, are you too soy sauce?
Regardless of the druids and assassins added to the expansion pack later, Diablo 2 has five professions at the beginning. In addition to the Amazon in front of them, there are Paladins, Mages, Necromancers and Barbarians.
If according to the official plot, each profession represents one person, these people will eventually defeat Diapolo and Bar, and restore the world to tranquility.
Louis didn't know how many Paladins would participate in the battle against Diapolo, but now he has one in front of him.
"How did he die?"
Logically speaking, the Paladin who can detect the sudden increase in darkness power and wants to come to investigate the situation should be quite strong? If he is killed so easily, this Paladin is not a fake, right?
"I felt a very strong dark force on his body. The one who killed him must be a powerful demon." When Cassia said this, she actually showed an admiration: "Under the erosion of such a strong dark force, his soul has not fallen, which shows how firm his will is. This is a very powerful paladin."
Louis rolled his eyes. According to Cassia's judgment, this guy should be the Paladin who should have become one of the protagonists. It seems that this Paladin is traveling faster. It is likely that he encountered a dark wanderer who was controlled by Diapolo's will and body, and then he died.
"If this is true, wouldn't I just run to Diapolo now and take the initiative to die?"
He doubted whether he could complete this task? Did the devil in the main world discover the existence of these brave men, and then deliberately increased the difficulty of the dungeon and wanted to kill them here?
Of course, this is not absolute. If Louis's mission really wants him to destroy Diapolo, then the description of the mission should be to eliminate darkness, and it should not be just to fight against darkness! And the devil should not be able to affect the Seal of the Brave, right? After all, the Seal of the Brave is sent.
Even if he is allowed to destroy Diapolo, it is not an absolutely unsuccessful task: there are all kinds of monsters everywhere in this world, and those monsters are potential rewards for Louis. If he can obtain the reward stably, he will not be sure how strong he can become in the end.
At that time, it was not impossible to destroy Diapolo, but at this time...
"I can't let me go from Diablo 2 to Diablo 3's timeline, right?" The decades of time span are really terrible.
While he kept analyzing this mission, he worked with Cassia to dig a pit at a distance from the road, then put the Paladin's body in and buried it.
"Be careful of the dark power on him." It is precisely because of the dark power wrapped around him that the Paladin has been dead for several days, but the body remains on the roadside and no one deals with it.
When Louis first came into contact with this force, he felt that he wanted to invade his body and seemed to affect his mental state. However, Louis quickly calmed down and used the Force to protect himself well.
Cassia used her original magic to protect herself from the erosion of dark forces until she completely buried the Paladin's body.
After finishing this matter, the two continued to set off. Before they could walk for a long time, they found a camp ahead.
The entire camp was protected by wooden walls. You could see the soldiers standing guard at some high places. Louis and Cassia looked at each other and walked quickly to the entrance of the camp.
There are also warrior handles here, and all are female warriors. They hold long bows and carry quivers, and there is always an arrow on the bowstring, and they are in a state where they can fight at any time.
"These are Rogues from the Blind Eye Monastery... The situation seems not very good. They actually abandoned the monastery." Cassia and Rogue, who was standing guard, frowned tightly after saying a few simple words.
First, the body of the Paladin was found, and then the warriors of the Monastery built camps in this remote place. The situation was much worse than originally speculated.
Louis didn't say anything. He had already understood these situations. He was looking around to see what this camp, which was the beginning of the game, looked like.
After looking at it for a while, Louis felt that he had only one word: Chaos!
Chapter completed!
