A dead gray world. This was the first feeling I felt after I stepped into Tristram. It was an empty and gray world. The earth was also dyed with a layer of gray dimness. The broken stone walls and incomplete towers fell to the ground. The carved pillars and stone carvings seem to be telling about its past prosperity, but the withered bones on the ground, the blood-stained earth, and the desolate cool wind are so sad - the fall of prosperity, the destruction of civilization, everything Everything is accusing the hell clan of sins. The city is full of collapsed ruins and dead tree trunks, and there is not a single soul. No, maybe I shouldn’t say that. Those skeleton archers who hid in the dark and attacked me with bows and arrows, and who were smashed into pieces by me, most likely had been I am also a member here. After quickly circling the entire city, the first task Kane gave me, even if it has been completed - Tristram has completely fallen and has become A pile of ruins has become a paradise for monsters. I hope Kane can accept this reality. In fact, as smart as he is, he should have anticipated such a result. But out of the stubbornness of an old man, he is still unwilling to give up, even if it is his last hope.
I calculated the time, and it seemed that nearly half an hour had passed, and there was still some left, so I continued walking towards the center of the city, hoping that I wouldn't meet the former Paladin that Kane mentioned, the most popular person in Rogge's camp. The outstanding blacksmith - Griswold. After all, this is not a game. He may have escaped long ago. I hope so, and don't let the poor old man Kane suffer more blows. Once he lost his mind and stretched out his legs, I would definitely die miserably.
But the reality is cruel. In the square in the center of the city, the tall and muscular figure, who looked like a huge beast, still caught my sight. His eyes were black and turbid, and his whole body was surrounded by a layer of black gas. This was because he had been The power of hell has completely eroded the signs of manipulation, and his original soul has long been destroyed. Even the highest level angel. There is no other way but to purify him.
Griswold, who has completely fallen, has lost all other abilities except for the remaining strength of his body. The erosion of hell gave him the ability to curse. If he accidentally inflicted a curse on him and got punched again. That was a lot of fun, but under the wheel battle between me and the summoned pet, he finally let out a scream of relief, his ferocious expression gradually softened, and his strong body quickly shriveled up, and finally he looked like a relieved old man. Generally speaking, with a smile on his lips, he slowly fell to the ground.
Griswold is not a projection, and the body will naturally not disappear. Of course, it didn't matter what was revealed. I looked at his body. After hesitating for a moment, he threw it into the inventory. Sweat... I didn't expect that the inventory can actually store corpses. It's so fucking nonsense.
However, when I accidentally saw the properties of Griswold's corpse, I vomited three liters of blood.
Griswold's body

The corpse of emotion was originally a piece of equipment similar to a small amulet. Should I embezzle it? Forget it, it looks weird in the inventory.
In the last few minutes, I finally stepped into the return portal and returned to the stone wilderness. The red door behind me also closed shortly after.
When I returned to Rogge Camp and told Kane about Tristram's situation, his face instantly turned very pale. I hesitated for a moment, but finally, in Kane's unbelievable and heartbroken eyes, I said, After taking out Griswold's body and looking at his already pale face, which seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant, I really felt a little guilty.
"Dear Wu, I'm really grateful for your help. I finally got a wish fulfilled."
After a long time, Kane, who was in tears, raised his head and said sincerely.
"In other words, it is my honor to serve Lord Kane. Please forgive me and accept me." I am about to cry. Kane, please don't let your mind wander, otherwise Akara and the others will chop me alive. .
Fortunately, Kane seemed to still have an unfulfilled wish and was not in a hurry to commit suicide. He walked slowly into the house with weak steps, and then tinkered inside for a while before taking out a delicate box.
"Dear Wu, I'm afraid there is nothing on me that you like. The things in this box have been with me since I was a young scholar. Although they are not good things, I still hope It can be helpful to you." Kane gently stroked the box as if it were his own child, with a little kindness in his sad eyes, and finally handed it to me firmly.
The exquisite box carved from black sandalwood alone is already worth a lot of money, and the box even exudes a faint magical aura.
G's people didn't pretend to be evasive, so they took Kane's box. Seeing his declining and tired look, they resigned knowingly.
After bidding farewell to Kane, I couldn't wait to return to the hotel room, closed the door, and drew the curtains. Well, I had to cover it with a quilt. The light of the artifact was very dazzling, and it would be bad if others discovered it. , good things should be enjoyed by yourself first.
After everything was ready, I carefully opened the small box. Weapon? accessories? Clothes kit?
Uh... What's inside the box is a dark soft-cover book. It's a thick book. It doesn't look like there's anything out of the ordinary. Not to mention the radiant light, there's not even a hint of magic in the book. , however, after the experience of Griswold's Corpse, I no longer dare to underestimate these items that are beyond the game. When I opened the properties of this book, it was as expected.
Kane's Book of Wisdom
+2 skills
+10 energy
+20 cast speed
Although the attributes are still far behind those of artifacts, I'm already very excited - I was thinking about whether to allocate attribute points to energy recently, but I didn't expect such an attribute to appear, and the casting speed is even faster than that of a job changer. The coveted attribute, and it's a full 20, is enough to reduce the casting speed of my current magma boulder by almost a second.
However, how should it be used? Is it like a small amulet that can take effect just by putting it in the inventory? I tried to put the book in the inventory, and sure enough, my energy immediately increased by 10, and each skill +2. I opened the skill bar and saw that the available skill points also increased by 2. So that's what it meant, add skill points. Items, this is an attribute that unique gold equipment only has!
Kudos to you, Kane!
However, since it has condensed the hard work and essence of Kane's life, there must be something else in it. I took out the book again, slowly unfolded it, and read it carefully, my face gradually became serious.
I don’t know how long it took, but I took a deep breath, rubbed my sore eyes, and looked at the sky. It was already late at night, and I had been watching for more than ten hours without knowing it.
I carefully closed the book, placed it gently on the box with the air-isolating magic circle, and then placed it in the inventory space - it really brought me too many surprises and horrors! Compared with the content in the book, its own attributes are nothing at all. This book can well be called a book of artifacts.
The first half of the book records the humanities, geography, and customs of the Dark Continent. It can be regarded as a dark encyclopedia. However, these are not of much use to me, so I only glanced at them. The important thing is that there are also Kane's research for most of his life, including gems, runes, professions, skills, equipment and weapons, etc., really opened my eyes. You know, I haven't played Diablo for several years, and the content in it has long been I have almost forgotten about it, and Kane's book is like a dark professional website, covering five categories and eight categories, and there are even some strange magic words in it, which made me wake up like a dream - —As a former Dark fan, I have even forgotten this. If I hadn’t read Kane’s book, I really wouldn’t have remembered it.
And in the last part of the book, it describes in detail the doomsday battle between the demons and the battle of original sin that plunged the Dark Continent into war. It is more clear and thorough than what Akara said, and goes straight to the essence. Among them, the unheard-of secrets, the mystery of Tal Rasha, and some secrets of the angel clan are all involved, which made me break out in cold sweat - it seems that I, no, are all of them. Adventurers, and even the entire Dark Continent, have been involved in a huge whirlpool. Presumably the big shots have some understanding of this. I wonder if they have any way to deal with it. At this moment, I am extremely confused. I really hope that the IQs of those leaders will increase by hundreds or even thousands, and then they will come up with ingenious strategies to help the Dark Continent get rid of this thousand-year vortex.
However, in the paragraph about Tal Rasha, a term in it caught my attention. Yes, it was the Horadric Box. According to Kane's guess, the reason why Tal Rasha It is powerful, and can even fight against the three demon gods in the end, which is inseparable from this treasure box.
Khan, I originally took it for granted that the Horadric Treasure Box was a public item just like the one in the game. As long as I arrived in Lugaoin, I would give it away for free, and everyone would have one. Oh my god! ! My perfect gem! My orange equipment!
