Diablo Destruction

Chapter 172 The first floor of the tomb

"At that time, in addition to the common professions of paladins, monks or missionaries, the cathedral also had light messengers, and the temple also had special professions such as ascetics..."

On the first floor of the tomb, I took a short rest in a small, dark room. A restless voice with a beautiful melody came out as the necklace on my chest kept flashing. This necklace was exactly the white necklace Alice gave me. The monk's necklace, after the battle with Alexander, the holy power contained in the necklace had been exhausted, and it turned into an ordinary golden necklace again, but maybe it is a bit inappropriate to say that a gold-level necklace, no longer You can't use the word "ordinary" to describe it.

"Hey~Hey~Xiaofan, are you really listening to me~?"

The girl in the necklace is unhappy. I can even imagine her silver eyes showing a troubled look, and her sweet voice still carries a coordinated beat or melody. It seems to have become her instinct. Although it is derogatory, she uses " "It sounds better than the singing" is really the most appropriate way to describe what she said.

"Listen, listen!"

I raised my voice and leaned leisurely against Xiaoxue's plush body with my eyes closed and meditative. The title "Xiao Fan" seemed a bit inappropriate for a person who was only as tall as my chest and who looked about 20 years old. But whenever I protested, she would rarely mention her true age. Of course, when her true age was mentioned in other places, she always deliberately avoided it. What a cunning little ghost. .

"Time will eliminate all things that hinder development, which is the so-called survival of the fittest and survival of the fittest. So far, only seven major professions have survived. Doesn't it explain everything well?" I retorted slowly.

"That's what I say. However, we cannot deny everything about them. In terms of data alone, Lightbringer and Ascetic Monk are definitely much stronger than the current seven major professions. It's just because the conditions are too harsh, so to In the end, they can only be lost in the trend of history, and monks and missionaries are also collectively called priests by many people. The main functions of these two professions are assistance and treatment. Because they lack the necessary means of attack, there is no alternative but to be eliminated. , Wugu~~"

At the end, Alice let out a painful whimper and woke up from singing for thousands of years. She found that the world has undergone earth-shaking changes, and many familiar things in the past have disappeared. It is replaced by something unfamiliar, so it is natural for me to feel depressed.

After being slightly depressed for a while, her energy quickly came back to her senses, as if she wanted to make up for the weight she had accumulated over the past few thousand years, as long as I was free. She couldn't help but chirp in my ears with that beautiful melody. I have to say that she was very knowledgeable about everything in her era. She knew even more clearly than Kane.

Although for me, I am not interested in many things Alice said, but when I am lonely, I will listen to the advertisements on the radio with great interest, not to mention Alice's voice that is like music. ? When I was lonely in the past, I would always talk to Xiaoxue and the others, and they would respond to me with whimpering and comfort me with their spiritual voices. But no matter how smart they are, they are still just beasts. Most of them are still unable to understand the complex emotions of humans.

Another extremely important point is that I, an alien time traveler; Alice, a girl who has been isolated from the outside world for thousands of years, are unfamiliar and unknown to this world, which are attributes we all share. so. I can talk to her using some popular words and tones from the original world without any fear. She wouldn't find it awkward, but would curiously ask what I meant. Then I would explain to her with a smile that this feeling is particularly satisfying and fulfilling, just like training an ignorant girl into a type that suits me step by step, wow, wow, I am so talented.

Of course, I will not say anything that poisons an innocent heart, let alone teach her. In my mind, Alice will always be a noble saint, a saint who only belongs to me and is not allowed to be Contaminated by anything unclean.

Thinking of this, I slowly pulled out the necklace that was close to my chest. The gentle touch, the golden light, so similar to Alice's aura, and the constant chirping sounds from the necklace all made me feel at ease. of. I slowly stroked the outline of the necklace and felt the warm breath of Alice emanating from it. My mood that was bright just now suddenly turned gloomy.

Alice is in the necklace. As a ghost, she can place herself on the necklace. Of course, this is not because I asked her to do this, nor is it because she likes to stay in the necklace. It is just to maintain her strength. ...Yes, save her little remaining physical strength. When her physical strength is exhausted, that is when the two of us part ways...

"Take a rest, Alice, we have said a lot, let's leave it to tonight..."

I caressed the necklace tenderly, gritted my teeth and interrupted Alice's words. In order to conserve her strength as much as possible, she could only show up for about ten minutes a day, and even her words had to be sparing... Blood, slowly It dripped from my biting lips...

"Hmm~~woo~~"

Alice reluctantly finished her words in a low voice, and responded obediently. That troubled and crying look came to my mind again. She is really a child who will never grow up.

In order to really calm down this restless little oriole, I only rested for a moment before I started on the road again. Only when fighting would Alice really stop and let me concentrate on fighting the enemy.

To be honest, when I first came to the first floor of the tomb, I was really surprised. I didn’t expect that the monsters inside were so sparse. The largest group of monsters I encountered was only a few dozen dark demons. , other pollution monsters, bone mages, etc., gathered together in twos and threes, which was not challenging at all. If it weren’t for the emergence of new monster species, I would have thought I was in the wrong place...

"Have you finally settled down?"

Kasha held Maldas's machete extorted from someone in one hand while training the 10 little devils under his control. He asked Farah who appeared behind him without even looking back.

"It should be almost done." Farah let out a long breath and lay down unsteadily on the chair.

"The magic circle has been used to isolate the holy light emitted by the cathedral to ensure that it will not penetrate into the tomb and the inner corridor. However, the cathedral and the monsters within three kilometers within it are no longer able to survive. Also, Shao Part of the light power has penetrated into the first floor of the tomb and the inner corridor in a short period of time. There may be fewer monsters in these two places. We must wait for the light power to dissipate before it can return to normal..."

"What a blessing among misfortunes, this matter has finally come to an end..." Kasha took a sip of wine and exhaled a strong smell of alcohol.

"Don't make it sound like you have some credit, I did it all by myself." Farah glared at her and said.

"Don't say that. It wasn't me who repaired the prison wall last time. It was all the fault of Wu..." When they mentioned this name, the two of them exuded a surge of resentment.

"That's right. 'That day' is coming soon." Kasha said suddenly.

"Yes, we should be almost ready." Farah responded, tugging on his white beard.

"Is 'that' ready too?"

"Don't mention it. I feel like our Mage Guild has been unable to raise its head in Rogge's camp because of 'that' reason." Farah's old face suddenly dropped. If he hadn't taken his own image into consideration, he might have really cried. Maybe he will come out.

"Don't say that. How can we do it without the Mage Guild? We are accomplices. Besides, you should also think about the Mage Guild's research funds, right?" Kasha said cheerfully in his signature tone. Farah smiled over his shoulder with a helpless look on his face.

"We must let that boy Wu bleed for a good time. Hahaha..."

The two men let out terrifying laughter, and a sinister wind suddenly filled the area within ten miles...

"Qiang——"

I turned around sharply, and the big shield immediately blocked the tip of a sharp spear that suddenly appeared from the right. I pushed hard and ejected the owner of the spear tip, a figure even thinner than the Sinking Demon.

Ratmen, a new type of monster that appears on the first floor of the tomb, are short in stature. Monsters with great speed, cleverness and strength. These insidious and cunning little things. Some hold butcher knives the same size as themselves, some hold spears longer than themselves, and some are even proficient in a primitive forest tribe. A very special hidden weapon - the blowing needle. If all the ordinary monsters in the entire Rogge camp were lined up and adventurers were asked to choose which one was the most terrifying, then the Ratman would undoubtedly be at the top. This kind of monster relies on extremely high speed. A monster with extremely powerful attacks that come and go like lightning. Once an inexperienced adventurer is surrounded by them, he will most likely be hacked to death in a matter of breaths. Then, before his companions can rescue him, the group of ratmen will disperse, leaving only a dead body, which is really frightening.

Fortunately, I have ghost wolves with a keen sense of smell and poisonous flowers that are not afraid of the dark. The attacks of these rat men are not of much use to me, and thanks to the unknown reason, they attack me every time. There are only four or five ratmen at most.

Even so, these little things were enough to wake me up. Touching my numb arms from the shock, and the big shield that was still buzzing, I thought in a cold sweat - it's really unimaginable. , without changing shape, the strength of these rat men, who were less than my knees, had a tendency to overwhelm me.

The last rat-man that was blown away by me rolled a few times in mid-air deftly, and was about to land steadily. Unexpectedly, there was already a ferocious mouth at its feet waiting for it. The poisonous flower vines Opening the big mouth that was neatly arranged like jagged teeth, he made a "Gurgling" sound, and before the rat man could react, he had swallowed it whole. The body that was as high as a python after eating was swollen. The speed that could be seen by the naked eye quickly shrank. At first, the shrill screams of the Rat Man being dissolved could still be faintly heard from its mouth, but in a few seconds, the sound went from high to low, until it disappeared. , as long as you use your brain to slightly imagine the expression of the prey struggling in its stomach, it is enough to make people feel horrified. I can't eat anymore.

With a "whoosh", the appetizing poisonous flower vine spit out the half-corroded spear that had just attacked me from its mouth, announcing the end of this rat-man's tragic fate. It slapped it on the ground with satisfaction. After a few circles, these rat men, who were smaller than the fallen demon, were a perfect delicacy for it.

However, the next step is the key. I used my fingers to crush a few fragile stubble on my chin, making a very mature(?) look of deep thought.

There is a straight passage ahead. There is also a door on the left and right, and it is a crossroads terrain. Which way should I go?

Ahhhh... Prison makes sense, but why should even a good tomb be made like a maze? Is it to prevent the dead from pretending to be corpses and escaping? Do churches share this concern? Unable to come up with an answer, I immediately went crazy.

Lord, give me a sense of direction.

"You should go straight ahead."

The necklace on the chest suddenly made a sound.

"Why do you want to go straight? And with such a sure tone? Where did a ghost who has been squatting in a house for thousands of years get the inspiration?"

I have serious doubts about the suggestion of a ghost who has been isolated from the world for thousands of years. The most important thing is this unwillingness to "be compared"! !

So, I decisively chose the door on the left, and let my seventh sense, a man given by God, tell you how wrong the sense of direction of a small ghost who has been trapped for thousands of years is.

"Because you have already passed through these two doors..." Alice whispered into the necklace. It's a pity that I didn't hear it in my delusional state.

Five hours later, I was back where I was.

"..."

"If you have anything to say, just say it..." My whole body was burned out and I leaned against the wall palely and said.

"It's... it's really amazing. Xiaofan, look, you have successfully circled the entire tomb. This is something that other adventurers cannot do! Ten points! Ten points!!! It's a difficult thing. …”

After a moment of silence, Alice spoke in a very exaggerated and cute tone.

"Forget it, your comforting me like this will only make me more sad..."

After getting along with her for the past few days, I finally figured out the character of this ghost girl, which was completely different from the disguised saintly and quiet appearance when I first met her. The willfulness shown by the ghost girl in front of me was unexpected and left me speechless.

If you want me to be more specific, it would be - a curious baby and a purdah lady who is smart and knowledgeable but has no understanding of worldly affairs. She has strong insight and sharp words that point to people's pain points and makes people unable to refute.

To describe it simply, the ghost girl in front of me has a very weird personality. She is a scary person who can say some strange and weird words in a very quiet and holy manner. Her power is just like how she was able to survive in the spiral staircase a few days ago. It was caressed like a kitten in my arms and purred slightly. …

"Forget it, choose the door on the right this time. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it. It's this way..." I clenched my fists hard.

"Wow!!!"

Seeing me turn to the right. Alice let out a short cry.

"What, is there something wrong?"

I swear. If she says something else that can make a wounded man hurt a second time, I'll let her experience the thrill of the merry-go-round when it's turned to 100 rpm.

"No, nothing. I just think that Xiaofan will live a wonderful life in the future."

Alice, a perceptive little girl, must have felt the murderous intent in the words, and carefully said it in a way that could express her meaning while preventing me from grabbing the painful foot.

"Let's go, the second floor of the tomb is calling us."

I deliberately ignored the profound meaning of Alice's words, raised my fist to cheer myself up, and then turned towards the door on the right.

"Humph——"

There was a slight chuckle in my arms. If I could see it, I would definitely find that in the empty dark space in the necklace, Alice was floating quietly in the void, with a holy light emitting from her body. Compared with When I first saw her, she had become much darker, and her face seemed weaker and paler, but there was still a sweet and satisfied smile on her lips.

How long are the days of fighting like this left? Even if I go to that place, I will never forget this sweet memory and the way you were in pain for me...
