Diablo Destruction

…

"So that's it, that kid Nilasek, eh——"

After hearing the whole story, Mara closed her eyelids and sighed heavily. Although she had understood the general situation from various aspects, it was not as clear as the instigator like me.

"This matter should have been our responsibility, but I didn't expect it to bother you. Thank you for your hard work, my child." After a while, Mara's wrinkles relaxed and she looked at me with eyes filled with approval. .

"I also heard about the orc clan. You did a good job. To be honest, it has greatly exceeded my expectations. Akara really did not misjudge the person. Now the alliance and the wolf and fox clan have entered The healthy cooperation stage is all due to you, and the dwarves are also thanks to you... The entire alliance should thank you and be proud of having a hero like you."

Mara spoke word by word, each word clear and firm, and her tone was filled with relief.

"Grandma Akara lets me rest for a while, which is the best thank you to me." I rubbed my palms and said with a smile.

"It's possible, your performance is so good, Akara may not be willing to let you rest." Mara said with a smile.

"..."

Mara is right, it's such a mistake. I clearly know that Akara's greatest strength is the ability to squeeze people, but I still want to show off. Isn't it obvious that she will take notice of me?

Seeing my dejected look, Mara's smile never diminished: "Don't be discouraged, don't be discouraged. I will try to talk to Akara. I think my words, as old as I am, will still be of some use."

"Then I'll trouble you." I said with an embarrassed smile.

It's not that I don't want to do things for the Alliance. In fact, I also know that although I am always being sent here and there by Akala, which seems unworthy, in fact, the Alliance has done a lot for me secretly.

The most obvious thing is the remote teleportation station. Who can use it as much as I can, like traveling?

As for Vilas and Sarah, I know that before they changed jobs, they were surrounded by at least two teams of Rogge soldiers who took turns protecting them secretly. Can ordinary people get such treatment?

And Linya, don’t you think that as the heir to a big family, she was snatched away by me without any hindrance? It’s a bit too smooth? It should also be that the alliance is communicating secretly.

There are many, many more. It is these seemingly insignificant, but actually considerate and considerate special cares that have allowed me to go all the way with peace of mind. Naturally, it is my duty to repay the alliance.

But occasionally I hope to take a breather. I am usually very relaxed, but when I have work, some supernatural phenomena often occur, such as Belial's accident when monsters attack the village, and Gamorro's accident when supporting the elves. The accident of Anarres during the trip of the dwarves, and now the accident of Nilasek in Harrogath.

It seemed that things were relatively peaceful when it was the Horadric clan, but there were still minor accidents like Horatien, Brother Card, and Duriel.

After thinking about it, I still feel that it is my own tragic aura that is causing trouble. Please Akala, please take my tragic aura into consideration in the future, and don’t use "it is a simple thing for others" to measure my difficulty. , for others it is a half-star level of difficulty, but once it is enhanced by my tragedy halo, it will become a ten-star level.

However, I guess Akara will ignore my screams. The difficulties I encountered are opportunities for the alliance, such as this avalanche...

Farewell to Mara... Oh, and there is Xiao Jia, who has been placed in Mara's backyard by us. Let's go and take a look. When this coward sees me, those beady eyes exposed from the armor, let alone How pitiful, after all, I left it alone for more than a month, but I still have to let it stay here for a while until it returns to the camp.

Then, we arrived at Anya's house, only to find that she was not at home. It was strange. Didn't Chris say that she had been doing squats at home these days?

After asking some barbarians nearby, I finally learned from a gossipy aunt that Anya was now at the Adventurer Trading Market.

Strange, what was she doing there?

With these questions, we hurried to the Adventurer Market and finally found her in a corner.

"Ding ding ding——"

Such a sound came not far away, and in sight, Anya was squatting on the roof of a dilapidated wooden house, holding a hammer in one hand, holding nails in the other, and biting a few nails, repairing the A crumbling wooden house.

This cabin looks familiar. It's not the black shop run by Nilasek... No, is it a gambling shop?

"Anya!!"

We stood below and waved to her.

"Master Wu Fan, Master Lucia, why are you here?"

She seemed to have finished her work. She jumped down from the roof, took a look at the brand new roof, clapped her little hands with satisfaction, spat out the iron nails in her mouth, and showed us a bright smile.

What shocked us was that Chris also ran out of the house. His clothes were stained with traces of carpenter's work, and he looked a little embarrassed. He gave us a fake smile.

Didn’t Chris say Anya was depressed? It doesn't look like her now, but she can cheer up, which is good after all. Anya is a beautiful woman who is suitable for smiling.

"Anya, just hope you're okay. By the way, what are you doing now?" I looked at the wooden house behind them curiously.

"I want to fix Nila's house."

Anya stepped out from the shadow of Nilasek, with a bright smile that I had never seen before. It was as pure and warm as the winter sun, making her even more charming. Maybe this is the real Anya.

However, after saying this, she seemed to have thought of something, and her face darkened: "Nila and I have been playing together since childhood. Originally, I thought I knew him very well and understood the burden and grief in his heart..."

Looking back, Anya gently stroked the moss-stained wooden boards of the wooden house, as if through these traces, she could see bits and pieces of Niracek's past.

"But after that time, I discovered that I didn't understand Nila at all. The burdens and sorrows I thought I understood were far less than one ten thousandth of what Nila really felt. I was so stupid and so self-righteous. …”

As she said that, she showed a firm look: "Nila has left and will never come back. I always feel that I can't just be decadent and should do something for him. After thinking about it, I decided, Nila This store will be inherited by me. I don’t know why I have this idea. I just... really want to follow Nila’s footsteps. I really want to think about it. Other than that, I really don’t know how to get there. Forgive yourself for your ignorance, how to express your thoughts..."

Anya lowered her head and smiled, but the crystal tears kept sliding down her fair face drop by drop.

People are like this, only when they are lost do they know how valuable they are.

The little fox and I sighed in unison, silently.

After a while, Anya wiped away the tears on her face, raised her head and bowed deeply to us.

"This time, I really want to thank you two adults."

"No, we still couldn't save Nilasek. Just don't think we did bad things with good intentions." I shook my head with a smile.

"Although I didn't return to Nila, at least I fulfilled one of his wishes and allowed him to rest in peace. I, Anya, will remember this kindness forever."

Anya bowed to us again and said sincerely, then turned to look at Chris: "Chris, I'm sorry, can you let me think about our marriage again? I can't agree to it now."

"..."

We smiled and patted Chris, who had a dull face and his back suddenly turned pale. We said goodbye to Anya and walked away.

The Nirasek incident has finally come to an end after meeting Anya this time. It just involved the innocent Chris. The happy future suddenly became chaotic. The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard. .

"Let's go hunting for treasure immediately."

The little fox stretched its long and beautiful waist, which made the adventurers passing by stare blankly. It bumped into the stone wall in front without realizing it, and then said excitedly.

"Look at how anxious you are. Now that the teleportation array is destroyed, if you want to reach the temple, I'm afraid there's no other way but to transform into a blood bear and fly down. I'm still in a weak stage and can only use 50% of my strength. I'm afraid I can’t transform yet.”

I reached out and rubbed the little fox's restless plush ears, and said with a smile.

"Hmph, who said we have to fly down?" The little fox tilted his head, dodged my big hand, and patted his plump and graceful breasts with great momentum and said.

"As long as you can kill the monsters along the way, leave it to me to get off the cliff."

"Of course those monsters won't be a problem, as long as you have a way to get off the cliff."

Hearing what the little fox said, my eyes also lit up. With the strength of the two of us, although I only have 50% of my combat strength left now, it is definitely not a big problem to deal with a demon king-level monster.

If nothing else happens and there is a big accident, such as monsters at the level of Nirasek or Gamorro, just drink a few bottles of energy potions. Anyway, I am a dead pig now and I am not afraid of boiling water. I can just treat Akara for a few more days. Fake, hehe.

The two laughed a few times, rested in the hotel for a day, and sneaked out of Harrogas before dawn the next day.

Practice makes perfect the little fox. In less than a day, he took me to the place where Nila and Nila... no, it was the last battle with the seven-headed basilisk. The two of them looked at the snow-capped mountains opposite, shrouded in white, and The territory of the fox and wolf tribes shrunk to a point under their feet, and they sighed endlessly for a while.

Like a drop of water piercing a stone, nature's subtle ability is always powerful. The traces of my battle with the seven-headed basilisk half a month ago have already been covered by the wind and snow.

Even the most powerful blow at that time, the explosion of the giant flaming sword, caused a large crater several hundred meters deep, which had disappeared. All that could be seen around him was a flat white field of snow.

Fortunately, although there are no traces to follow, the little fox’s multifunctional fox tail, which acts as a compass, is no joke. After turning a few times, the tip of the fluffy fox tail pointed straight in one direction, and the little fox and I were inseparable. Stride forward without hesitation.

On the third day, we came to the cliff. The seven-headed basilisk climbed up from here in a destructive way, and the traces left behind were still very obvious. The two of us quickly found the traces, and the little fox took out Some thick ropes and climbing tools were tossed in his hands triumphantly.

As an assassin, there is always a shortage of these small but useful things that may come in handy at any time.

After a lot of effort, we finally got down to the protruding half-cliff, put away our tools, and the two of us carefully stepped into the temple.

Probably because of Niracek, the evil aura shrouding the temple has also dissipated, and all the monsters inside have naturally disappeared. At least I have not seen the small boss with tragic attributes from that day in the temple again. Grumpy skin].

The ceiling of the temple has long been broken by the seven-headed snake monster. It is surrounded by ruins, just like a long-abandoned temple. The blood words on those walls have also lost their charm. No matter how hard the little fox and I stare, we can no longer look at it. Feel that crazy awareness.

The entrance was blocked by a thick broken pillar. It took the little fox and I a while to remove the broken pillar, revealing the dark hole, and then we cautiously got in.

In fact, there is no need to explore inside at all. On that day, the seven-headed basilisk penetrated directly from the Watt Hall to the temple, and a direct passage was opened for us. We only needed to clean up the gravel blocking the passage. The little fox and I He came directly to the Watt Hall easily.

In the dim Watt Hall, there are traces of destruction everywhere. There is an inch of water on the ground, and the only sound of dripping water can be heard in the ears. It seems extremely quiet and deep, like a house that has been in disrepair. Dark sewers.

"In addition to Nilasek's hall that day, I took a stroll and found that there are three other halls. Each hall seems to have a simple treasure chest, but there are many monsters holding it."

While walking through the water-filled passage, the little fox said casually.

"There are three more treasure chests." My spirit was suddenly shaken again.

In addition to the ordinary treasure chests and gold treasure chests, there is another kind of treasure chest in the dark world, which is what the little fox calls the quaint treasure chest. This kind of treasure chest is even rarer than the gold treasure chest. Generally, there are not many things in it, but They are all good stuff, and if you are lucky, you might find some unique gold equipment.

"However, these can be considered tribal heritage, right? If we take them away like this, does it count as stealing?" When we were about to reach our destination, I rarely had a conscience.

The little fox tilted his head and thought: "That's true. If so, do you want to stop now?"

The two of us looked at each other, a smile appeared on the corners of our mouths at the same time, and we said in unison: "That's weird!"

Sometimes I find that the little fox and I are quite similar in some aspects of our personalities.

Soon, we came to the first hall that the little fox said. It was one size smaller than the hall where Nilasek was. It was probably a side hall, and the large number of monsters that the little fox said were now even visible. Less than.

I like getting something for nothing.

In the middle of the hall, there is a high step. On the platform above is placed a small treasure chest that exudes platinum gold. It is upright and upright, with countless patterns engraved on it. Its neat and simple charm is much better than the elegant gold treasure chest. , and a bit more expensive.

The box was not locked, so the little fox who was trying so hard to use the locking technique failed. However, any small dissatisfaction disappeared immediately after I opened the lid.

Although the box is small, generally speaking, the value of the box and the treasures inside are inversely proportional. This law is not false at all, because this small treasure box is full of colorful gems. The colorful light that came out instantly stunned us.

One of them shines with pure white light, as dazzling as the sun, and is even more gorgeous than the others, firmly occupying a corner of this colorful light.

"What a nice view……"

The little fox couldn't help but hold the white sacred diamond in the shape of a water drop in the palm of his hand and murmured.

There is no doubt that this is a perfect diamond.

In addition, there are three flawless-level gems, namely the flawless-level yellow sapphire, the flawless-level skull, and the flawless-level emerald.

The rest include complete-level gems, about twenty, and more than fifty split-level gems. As for the fragmented-level gems, there are none at all. They are not worthy of appearing here.

What a pity. In fact, one of the fragmentation-level ones is worth more than a thousand gold coins. If you give it to me, mix three bottles of red medicine and blue medicine, combine them in a microwave oven, and it will be another bottle of fire-restoring medicine.

I thought rather greedily.

"Stupid~damn~, are you stupid?"

While I was drooling and fantasizing, the little fox's voice came to my ears.

"Is...is something wrong?" I wiped my saliva and looked solemn.

"Here!" The little fox reluctantly handed me the perfect diamond.

"What a beautiful diamond, you greedy little fox, are you willing to give it up?" I smiled teasingly and gently poked the little fox's bulging face with my index finger.

"Hmph, don't underestimate my principles. I am the most just and most beautiful woman in Kurast." The little fox hugged the two "firsts" tightly with both hands and turned his head away angrily. go.

I'm not polite either. Anyway, the distribution between adventurers is the most unreasonable and polite. Otherwise, it will cause disharmony. If you want to talk about it, you have to communicate in private after the distribution is completed.

I wonder what kind of expression the little ghost will show after seeing this perfect diamond? I think it must be very disturbing, just like when I saw the flawless diamond, the feeling of being unable to eat the unparalleled delicious food in front of me will drive this little glutton crazy.

This perfect diamond was worth more than the other gems in the box. The little fox carefully counted the achievements of this treasure hunt. As a result, he found depressingly that besides leading the way for a certain idiot, he actually did other things. The rest of the credit belongs to the other party.

She was extremely sad and gave me three flawless gems, and then counted again. Most of the next level of complete gems also fell into my arms, and finally the cracked gems were divided equally between the two. .

Throughout the whole process, I did not refuse her kindness, but watched with interest as she went from happy, to reluctant, to painful, to dejected, even the pair of plush fox ears that were usually energetic and raised high. , also hung down, sticking softly to the temples.

"Okay, okay, don't be sad, come on, be good, I'll give this to you." Like a pampering kitten, I touched her little head and handed her the flawless sapphire. , very suitable for a profession like Little Fox.

Before the little fox had time to speak, I gave half of the complete gems to her. There was a microwave. To be honest, I don't care about the complete gems at all. If it wasn't for the little fox's face, it wouldn't matter if I gave them all to her.

As for the cracked gems, these attributes are of no use to me or the little fox. They are just for selling the gems. It is better to keep them for synthesis, so I accepted them all without mercy, even the little fox's share.

"Humph, I don't want it, you are pitying me." The little fox grinned his little tiger teeth, and lunged forward resolutely, hugging his pair of cracked gems tightly, refusing to exchange them with me.

"Otherwise, don't I still owe you five conditions? Just one of the conditions at that time." I rolled my eyes and smiled.

"Hmph, it's not that easy to think beautifully." The little fox tilted his head to avoid me.

"..."

I said, one flawless gemstone and more than ten complete gemstones, can’t they offset one condition? What kind of difficult thing do you want me to do, you bastard?

"Anyway, I'll just keep it here. If you don't want it, just throw it away." Seeing the little fox being naughty, I also became rogue. I pushed the gem that was separated and strode away humming a little tune.

After a while, the little fox followed up in small steps and called softly from behind.

I turned around in response, and unexpectedly my cheeks were lightly touched by two soft and fragrant objects. Before I had time to appreciate the beauty, they were already separated.

"Don't... don't misunderstand, this... this is just, that... those gems... are only worth so much, don't get it wrong."

The little fox handed me the cracked gem in a small cloth bag and stammered, lowering his head and not daring to look at me. The white neck exposed in the dim light showed a slight ruddy color.

Fight with me, you little fox is still a little tender. I took the bag, touched my face and tried to remember the fleeting and fragrant touch just now, and I felt even more proud.

After walking in the broken passage for a while, we came to the second hall, and there was still no monster handle. Ouch, I was almost embarrassed to hold it.

The box on the steps in the center of the hall is still made of platinum, exuding a simple and noble atmosphere, but it is much larger than the first box. If the first box is only the size of a bucket, then this huge thing in front of you is twice as big. The volume of a large water tank.

These large volumes make it easy for us to guess what is inside. Judging from the fact that the first box is full of gems, this giant treasure box should undoubtedly be full of equipment, so it is necessary to use such a large box. .

After struggling to open the heavy box lid, as expected, a golden piece shot out from the box, containing half of the box's equipment, and there seemed to be a faint green light inside.

The little fox and I excitedly celebrated with joy - happiness comes so easily.
