With a sigh, he stooped and walked in through the secret door. As soon as his front feet stepped in, the wall closed again. Although there was no magic torch, it was not dark inside. The buildings above, below, left and right actually shone slightly, and it looked like It's like daytime, with a little bit of magical color.
After not walking far along this light passage, we came to the end. Inside was a sealed small hall ten square meters in size. It was empty, with a sarcophagus placed in the center.
Khan, why do I keep seeing coffins recently?
As I arrived, the profound and complex black runes carved on the sarcophagus began to light up with white light. Finally, the white light enveloped the entire sarcophagus. The intense light made me have to squint my eyes.
The white light gradually softened and condensed into a ball. More and more light gathered together, making the condensed light ball become as viscous as liquid. The light ball rolled, constantly changing into various shapes, and finally stretched. Opening up, it gradually formed hands, feet, and a head, and finally fixed into a human-like form. The remaining white light condensed into facial features, hair, beard, a white robe, and a staff.
An old mage, about fifty or sixty years old, composed of a ball of light, floated quietly in the center of the hall. He wore a white mage robe, a simple brown staff, a neatly trimmed ruler-length beard hanging down to his chest, and a wide robe and hat that made him His face is covered with a layer of shadow, which adds a bit of mystery to his appearance. He is different from the skinny old mage with sunken eyes often seen in Western fantasy. Although his upright body cannot be said to be tough, it is not It makes people feel like they will fall down when the wind blows.
After the light dissipated, the old mage finally slowly opened his eyes. These were a pair of eyes that could not be said to be strange. They had the vicissitudes of an old man and the wisdom of a wise man, but they were not sharp. When he looked over, there was nothing like The feeling that the soul is also being seen through. Rather, he is gentle, and combined with his kind-hearted appearance, he feels like the grandpa next door.
"My child, you are finally here." Probably because he hadn't spoken for a long time, he slowly moved his lips. After a long time, he finally spoke softly.
"Are you... Lord Tarasha?" Looking at the kind old man in front of me, I asked hesitantly. A powerful existence that can rival the three demon gods is actually this seemingly inconspicuous old mage with a white beard? Even a guy like Farah is more unique than him.
"Yes, I am Tarasha. It's been a long time since I came out. It feels so good." The white-bearded mage, no, it should be Tarasha, he blinked his eyes, raised his head and sighed.
"..." Is such a narrow and closed hall "coming out" to him? I can't help but sympathize with his situation over the past thousand years.
"Did you call me here? Lord Tarasha?"
Thinking of his glorious past, I couldn't help but stand up in awe, and my voice became a little more respectful. According to historical records, this was a great man who sacrificed himself for the Dark Continent. \\\\\\With his strength, it is estimated that just a sneeze can kill a little druid like me thousands of times.
"Yes, child." He replied slowly but forcefully.
"Sir, you shouldn't be in the third world. Being attacked by the three demon gods..., that..."
"Yes, my body and soul were indeed imprisoned in the Taraxia Tomb in the third world by Baal and the others. What you see now is just a trace of consciousness that I retained with the help of the incomplete Soul Stone. So is the sound inside my paint armor."
"So that's it." I sighed, worthy of being the most powerful mage. If you can even do this kind of thing that can only be seen in cultivation novels, a good person is a good person.
"I didn't expect to be able to see Lord Tarasha's true face here. I'm really honored. I wonder if you can sign a few autographs for me." After confirming the other party's identity, my first thought was to get Get a few signatures, and then sell them to the Mages Guild at a high price to make a lot of money.
Looking at my eager expression, Tarasha was speechless. Who are these people? He even wondered if he had chosen the wrong person.
"Ahem, let's talk about this later. Child, I asked you to come here because there are some important things."
"Yes, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
I had a solemn look on my face, but countless thoughts flashed through my mind: Will I be left alone before I die? Artifact? Or give me an initiation and pass on all your strength (internal strength?) to me? Thinking of this, my heart couldn't help but roar.
"Kid, don't mind telling me your name." Seeing the critical moment, Tarasha changed the subject and started chatting with me about home affairs.
"Of course, this is my honor. My name is Wu Fan, I am a Druid by profession, I am 26 years old (approximately), married, my wife is Vilas, I have a fiancée Sarah, my sister is Sharna, my home is in Luo In the Ge camp, there is also a villa in Lugaoyin. There is a maid named Morissa, and a few best friends..."
"That's enough, that's enough. I already understand it completely." Looking at me as if I was planning to tell all the eighteen generations of my ancestors, Tarasha quickly interrupted, thinking that I really had met a weird young man. .
"Okay, let's get to the point." Seeing the sweat on Tarasha's forehead, I couldn't help but snicker a little in my heart. Let's see if you dare to mess with me again and whet my appetite.
"My child, I asked you to come this time because I want to ask you to do me a few favors. Of course, I have some things to tell you here, which may be of some help to you." Taraxia stroked her beard. He said with a smile.
"Of course, if Lord Tarasha has any instructions, just tell me, even if it means sacrificing my life, I will not hesitate." I put on a generous and sacrificial look, and at first glance I looked like a passionate young man.
"My child, thank you for your kindness, but if you really sacrifice, then I will have a headache." Tarasha smiled and continued.
"The first thing is to find the King's Staff, the Viper Necklace, and the Horadric Cube, the treasure of our Horadric family, and save the trapped people of the Horadric family."
I was stunned and subconsciously looked at the inventory. Well, there were quite a few of them.
"Haha, this was originally a very troublesome thing. I was worried that it would delay you a lot of time, but I didn't expect these three things to be here. It's God's will. God has not abandoned our Horadric clan."
"How do you know that I have these three things?"
"Because these three items are treasures made by our Horadric clan, and they have the aura of our Horadric clan on them, so I can feel them even in the inventory."
"So that's it. But Lord Tarasha, although I have these three things in my hands, I can't use the Horadric Cube at all."
"It seems that you already have some understanding of the Horadric Cube, which is better this way. Don't worry, I will teach you how to use it later." Looking at the King's Staff, the Viper Necklace and the Horadric Cube I took out Ruddick Square, his eyes flashed with nostalgia.
"The Horadric Cube. I really miss it. I relied on it to get out step by step."
The Horadric Cube turned out to be the item that Tarasha made his fortune back then? I was shocked, but after thinking about it, according to unofficial records, Tarasha was not only powerful, but also seemed to have a particularly high explosion rate. Considering the attributes attached to the Horadric Cube, it made sense.
"I found the Horadric Cube in the fallen sun god's sandalwood on the second floor of the Viper Temple. It is actually yours, sir. Why is it there?" Just ask if you don't understand. I have always been an open-minded and studious child.
"It's a long story. Back then, the great demon Baal who was sealed by me escaped from the Soul Stone. After that, I was always worried about his revenge. At that time, the Horadric Cube was still in my hand. I was afraid that if something happened to me, the Horadric Cube would fall into the hands of the Hell Clan, so I entrusted it to my disciple Horadric Vizreal, along with the Horadric Staff, and asked him to use these two things. Bring things back to the clan. I didn’t expect this traitor..."
Having said this, Tal Rasha hammered the staff in his hand angrily, and the entire Temple of Death suddenly shook. The power was comparable to an eight-magnitude earthquake. This was Tal Rasha, and it was just one of his consciousnesses. Strength? At this moment, I once again realized my own insignificance.
"This traitor. He was seduced by the three demon gods and degenerated into a hellish life. He was afraid that I would find him by following the breath of the Horadric Cube, so he secretly sealed the Horadric Cube. He is what you call the fallen Sun God. Inside the sandalwood, the key to the door to time and space of my family—the Horadric Staff was divided into two halves, namely the King’s Staff and the Viper Necklace. The clan is forever imprisoned in the center of the desert, so we sealed the gate of time and space so that we, the Horadric clan, can never step out of the desert again."
Looking at Tarasha's old face, which was red with anger, I was silent for a while. It turns out that there is still such an unknown history. No wonder the Horadric clan has never been heard of since Tarasha, as if they disappeared out of thin air. , the biggest guess at that time was that Baal and his two other brothers killed all the Horadric clan. Unexpectedly, this turned out to be the case.
"Apart from the gate of time and space, isn't there any other way for your family to come out?"
"Hey, this is what we are doing. Before the hell clan appeared, it was the most prosperous period of magic civilization. At that time, half of it was to protect the clan, and the other half was to show off. Our clan united hundreds of elders to mobilize the whole clan. With his own strength, he deployed a super magic circle outside the desert, but in the end it turned into a cage to imprison him. Fortunately, it was precisely because of the existence of this magic circle that the clutches of the three demon gods were also kept out. , otherwise the Horadric clan would have been exterminated long ago."
"Then my current mission is to use the Horadric Cube to combine the King's Staff and the Viper Necklace into the Horadric Staff, and then liberate the Horadric clan?"
"Yes, child, but not only the Horadric tribesmen in the first world, but also the tribesmen in the second and third worlds. If possible, I hope you can also rescue them. Most of our tribesmen have magical talents, and there are also many precious things in them. The magic book, I believe, will bring a new vitality to the dark world." Probably thinking that I am not stupid, Tarasha couldn't help but laugh.
"As for the first world, everything has been gathered together, so there shouldn't be any problem. As long as we have the help of the Adventurer Alliance, it won't be difficult for the second world. The key is the third world..." I lowered my head and pondered.
"Don't worry, we will rescue the people in the first world first. As for the people in the third world, they have been trapped for thousands of years anyway. I believe they won't care about this time anymore. Let's see the opportunity." Tarasha sighed. In one breath, his tone was indescribably desolate.
"I will definitely complete it as soon as possible and live up to your trust." I replied solemnly. I will definitely help with this favor. Even if Tarasha doesn't say anything, I will still help. The Horadric clan, known as a magical race, will join in. The strength of the Dark Continent is bound to increase.
"Okay, very good, but kid, there is one thing I must remind you. The traitor may be hiding near the gate of time and space. When you go there, you must be careful. Although it is just a projection, his The strength should not be underestimated.”
"I understand." As a disciple of Tarasha, no matter how weak his strength can be, he will probably be no less generous than the Demon King. He will really have to be careful when the time comes.
"The second thing is my personal request. I hope you can continue to listen. I believe you also know that in fact I am not dead, but imprisoned in the ancient tomb of the Horadric clan in the third world. As long as I gather... I can break the seal with a complete Talasha suit, so the second thing, kid, I hope you can pay close attention to it, maybe my old bones can continue to do something for the Dark Continent."
"I have indeed heard this rumor, but if the other Tarasha sets are in the hands of the Three Demon Gods, I..." Khan, collecting the Tarasha sets is a task that can be marked as epic.
"Haha, don't worry. As the owner of the suit, although I don't know the specific location, I can feel that the other four pieces are not in the hands of Barr and the others. Also, don't be too anxious. You are not level enough now, maybe fifty. Years, or even a hundred years later, there is no problem, as long as you can pay attention, and by then, maybe you will already have a strength that is not inferior to that of the Demon King." Seeing the worry in my heart, Tarasha meant Said profoundly.
My heart suddenly tightened, and I glanced at the other person calmly - what did this mean? Could it be related to what he was going to give me later?
"There is one last thing, which is also a little private matter of mine. It should be an easy thing for you. My wife, Xinxiu Lasi, I hope you can bury her well." At this point, Ta A trace of sadness flashed in Rasha's eyes. The word wife was so serious.
"Lord Tarasha, why did you choose me?" After agreeing, I asked puzzledly, in these more than a thousand years, is there no one he likes?
"If I said that you are the most promising adventurer I have seen over the years, would you believe it?"
"I believe it." I nodded without hesitation. This was definitely not because I was arrogant, and it probably would be the same in the future.
"Very good, having confidence is a good thing." For the first time, Tarasha laughed heartily.
"Next, I'm going to teach you something. Only with these things can you have the capital to collect all the Tarasha suits. Are you willing to accept it? My child."
