"Brother, how come you have completed the task and yet you become depressed?" Sa Qili came up and pinched my nose without being polite at all.
"It's all thanks to you that the Horadric clan was saved. If you were here alone and frowning, everyone wouldn't be happy, right?"
"Elder Fan, if you have something on your mind, if you don't mind telling it, just tell us. You are the benefactor of our clan, and we will definitely do our best to help." Even Elder Leiton came over, his face flushed, maybe Drink a lot of wine.
I glanced at everyone gratefully, but thinking of Princess Wannian, I sighed again, not knowing how to speak.
Under everyone's gaze, I hesitated for a long time and finally took out the Horadric Cube.
"Nana... I have already told everyone except Elder Layton about Nana, right."
Except for Layton, who was confused, everyone nodded.
"Actually, I didn't tell you everything about that matter. It involves the secrets of the Horadric clan and Nana's personal affairs." After a pause, his eyes fell on the Horadric Cube.
"Then...then, don't mind if I tell you the whole thing."
"Whatever, although it is a history that is unbearable to look back on, there is no need to hide it. Let's take it as a warning." Princess Diamond may have noticed something, but her tone was calmer and calmer than usual.
If she doesn't mind, then I can feel free to say it.
"This is not the place to talk. Let's go somewhere else. There is another thing..."
After taking a look at the noisy square where thousands of people were celebrating joyfully, I shrank my neck with guilt and secretly glanced at Princess Diamond, looking depressed and cowering, just like a condemned prisoner who was about to step onto the execution platform.
Under the guidance of Layton, we came to a quiet room, and then, I told everyone everything about Princess Cube, including the true origin of the Horadric Cube, her machine doll body, and the five loading parts. , and the truth about the decline of the Horadric clan.
It took more than two hours, and the truth of history was revealed in the eyes of everyone, especially Elder Leighton, who was a Horadric, with the most sighing look on his face. His wrinkled face seemed to have heard After my dictation, the wrinkles became more numerous.
"I didn't expect that the truth about the decline of our clan would turn out to be like this. God's will, God's will!" He paused on his crutches, feeling as if he had aged ten years.
"The past is in the past, and it's not your fault. Elder Leiton doesn't need to take it to heart. Now is the time for the Horadric clan to spread its wings again." I comforted and advised.
"That's right. As long as I still have this old bone, I will definitely not let our family decline."
It seemed that due to my words of comfort, thinking of the tribesmen who were about to escape from difficulties, and thinking of the infinite space for development in the future, Elder Leiton's face glowed again, and he seemed to be dozens of years younger for a while.
He stood up excitedly, walked around for a few steps, and suddenly came to the Horadric Cube, and solemnly saluted with the unique etiquette of the Horadric tribe.
"I didn't expect that inside the Horadric Cube, there would be an ancestor of our family, Her Royal Highness. It's really rude. Layton has met Her Royal Highness."
"Is it really appropriate? I am the culprit responsible for the decline of the Horadric clan." Princess Diamond looked at the other party silently and said softly.
"No, this cannot be blamed on Her Highness the Princess. Not to mention that this was not Your Highness's original intention. Even without this incident, according to the situation at that time, it would be a matter of time for the Horadric clan to decline sooner or later. How can we put the responsibility on you? Woolen cloth?"
"Elder Leighton, just call me Nana from now on." Princess Diamond's voice was still very cold and plain, but you could feel the slightest touch of emotion hidden in it.
It turns out that Princess Wannian has been blaming herself as a sinner. I looked at her blankly, feeling a little guilty in my heart. Although I and Princess Wannian seemed to be barely ordinary friends, and We were just ordinary friends who often quarreled and bickered, but because I couldn't see her obvious negative feelings, I still felt very unqualified as an ordinary friend.
"Brother, you just talked about Nana's machine doll body and five major parts, right?" At this time, Sa Qili, whose mind was spinning the fastest, seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly asked aloud.
"Yeah, I said it."
"You said Nana's doll body is hidden in an ancient tomb in the third world, right?"
"Yes, I said so."
"Brother, I have a guess, could it be..." Her beautiful eyes flickered, and Sa Qili looked at me unblinkingly.
Under Sa Qili's repeated reminders, the others also turned around. Seeing that the two of us were having a hard time, Tulakov, the most impatient, simply took the lead and shook my shoulders and asked loudly.
"Could it be that the mysterious girl who appears in the monster army and can even command the ancient soulless card is the doll body of Princess Nana?"
The real owner is here, and I said so much just to bring the topic to this point.
Sighing, I nodded.
"Yes, that's exactly what happened. I didn't dare to confirm it at first, so I brought Nana up with me, and the result was just as everyone expected."
"This is such a coincidence." Everyone marveled.
is not that right? It has been tens of thousands of years, sooner or later. But after Princess Diamond was rescued, her doll body also appeared in the third world, and then we happened to meet it again. It was almost like an appointment. Same.
The probability of this happening should be less than one in a million, unless someone does it intentionally.
"So, who is the mastermind? Who is controlling Princess Nana's doll body?"
"Generally speaking, since the ancient soulless cards have to obey the command of the doll's body, then it must be Duriel's fault."
"But..." Elder Leighton hesitated, seemingly not appreciating this statement.
"Based on our dealings with Duriel over the years, it seems that it is not very interested in destroying our Horadric clan. Even the ancient soulless card, one of its right-hand men, has not come out of the ancient tomb for more than ten years. It would be a bit abnormal to say that the doll’s body was sent by it.”
"Maybe it was a whim, for example, he was in a bad mood, so he controlled the puppet attack." Tulakov said while picking his ears.
"This is also an explanation." Everyone nodded and did not refute Tulakov's statement.
Humans are not machines, and neither is the devil. It is impossible for them to maintain absolute rationality at all times and act according to their own personality and preferences.
Therefore, you cannot fully estimate the other person's personality and preferences. You may have a whim, some stimulation, or your mood may fluctuate, and you may act contrary to your personality and preferences. This is actually a common thing.
Perhaps, this was really just a random act by Duriel. This answer seemed to be the most acceptable to everyone.
But thinking about the identity of the doll, I have a guess.
"Although Uncle Tulakov is right, everyone seems to have forgotten one thing. Duriel is not necessarily the only one who can command the ancient soulless card, right?"
"You mean..."
"Yes, it is said that the relationship between the four demon kings is very good. It may also be the order of the other three demon kings, isn't it?"
"Who do you think the newcomer is?" Everyone looked at me curiously, surprised by my sudden burst of IQ.
"If we rule out Duriel, Andariel and Belial are both possible. There is relatively little information about Azmodan, so it's hard to draw a conclusion. Let's focus our suspicions on the first two demon kings."
After a pause, I began to try to analyze: "The attack of the monster army led by the doll body is aggressive and fierce, chasing after them without giving anyone any chance to breathe. This style is a bit like Andariel, but, I I think Belial is more likely, and the most important thing is that it is the body of a Horadric doll."
"Compared to everyone else, I may have dealt with Belial a little more often, so I know this guy better. This guy likes to use his power to play with people's hearts. The doll's body was hidden in the Horadric Tomb. Now that it has been found , then it means that Belial knows that the body is related to the Horadric tribe, and even with its wisdom and ability, he may be able to see that this body has some power of the Horadric tribe."
Looking at everyone's eyes, I said word by word: "In this case, wouldn't it be interesting to use toys made by the Horadric tribe to attack the Horadric tribe? I think Belial is very likely to Think of it this way.”
"It makes sense." After calming down and thinking about it, everyone kept nodding.
"And there is also strong evidence. Belial is good at mental power. Being able to control a puppet body without a living soul so powerfully is exactly what it is best at doing."
The more I thought about it, the more I realized that this was the case. This time, the relationship was an innocent disaster, and it was most likely Belial's fault.
At this time, Elder Leiton seemed to have gotten some information and turned back to us.
"The tribesmen who went to investigate have returned. According to intelligence, the ancient soulless card has never left the ancient tomb."
My friends and I were stunned at the time.
What are you doing? Brother Ka, there is no movement at all. Doesn’t this make us look like fools? We have worked hard and even let the entire Horadric tribe risk entering the Storm Canyon.
The result was a yawn from the other party.
You look at me, I look at you, everyone smiles bitterly.
All the efforts were in vain because of this information. Everyone worked hard on the stage, even risking their lives, and prepared early, but the only guest did not arrive.
If I had known that the ancient soulless card would be like this, I would have just rushed forward and captured the doll. Why would there be so much trouble?
"But this just proves Elder Fan's guess just now, that it may indeed be Belial's conspiracy, so the ancient soulless card is passive and slow in its work."
Elder Leighton said this with some self-comfort. Among everyone, he was undoubtedly the one who felt the most deceitful and bitter after hearing the news.
"Yeah, it's definitely not Duriel's order. Otherwise, if it did this, Duriel wouldn't skin it?"
Everyone condemned Brother Ka's behavior of betraying his teammates.
"No matter who gave the order, the mission has been completed anyway. By the way, newcomer brother, since you have defeated the puppet, the body should be back as well, right."
The big-mouthed Tulakov didn't care about everyone's feelings at all. He cut into the topic like a sharp knife with his broken voice.
Especially me, I was so unprepared that I was stabbed with blood, and I looked at him with resentful eyes, wishing to tear his mouth to pieces.
"By the way, the body." At Tulakov's reminder, all eyes focused on him.
"This... I did get it back." I laughed a few times and lowered my head with a guilty conscience. I didn't dare to face these eyes, especially Princess Diamond. I felt that her eyes were even hotter and everywhere, constantly torturing me. fragile soul.
After hesitating and procrastinating, finally, when everyone was about to become impatient, I took out the body...no, the body in the inventory and put it on the bench aside.
Seeing this body, a strange and awkward atmosphere flowed in the air.
It was like a war ended, friends returned one after another, everyone hugged each other, and burst into tears of joy.
Suddenly someone asked: "By the way, where is passerby A? Why didn't I see him?"
"Yes, where is passerby A?"
One after another asked, and in the end, the person who knew the truth lowered his head in heavy sorrow under the gaze of everyone.
Probably, that's how it feels.
Although the body on the chair and the clothes were in tatters, the body was intact and without any flaws.
The problem is that her head seems to be installed backwards, facing the back, and there is a fist-sized depression on it. It can be vaguely seen that the artificial skull inside has been cracked, and the blood that is the same as human blood is still slowly flowing. It overflowed, dyeing the face and hair red, and you could even see the brain composed of countless precision instruments inside, flashing with magical light, and bursting out of electric sparks from time to time, like a scrapped robot.
"Yes... I'm sorry." I lowered my head in shame, and after holding it in for a long time, I only said these three words.
"Nana, you can't blame me for this. In a battle of this level, such an outcome is inevitable. I must have been forced to do such a heavy hand." Sa Qili spoke softly and spoke for me.
"That's right, if it were me, I'm afraid this would have happened." Tulakov's big mouth rarely said a good word.
Everyone can see that with such injuries, this mechanical doll, which was built with the efforts of the goblins and Horadric clan at that time and is said to be ingenious, has been scrapped and cannot be used.
"I'm not angry." Princess Diamond said. Because her voice was always cold and lacked emotional fluctuations, everyone thought she was angry and was making sarcastic remarks, so they comforted her in a low voice.
"I'm really not angry." Princess Diamond, who felt confused, repeated it again in an emphatic tone, seeming to look at everyone with surprised eyes.
"Besides, who said the body is useless?"
"Huh?" Everyone looked at her blankly, not knowing what she wanted to say. She was injured like this, her neck was twisted 180 degrees, and her head was sunken. Is there any way to save her?
It must be sarcasm, it must be, I'm afraid I'm going crazy.
Then all eyes fell on me and became sympathetic.
"You underestimate this body too much. The goblins who were at the pinnacle of the machine field at that time, and my Horadric clan, who were at the pinnacle of the magic field, worked hard to build a body. How can it be so easily destroyed?"
Princess Diamond's words drew everyone's attention back. Could it be that what she said was true?
"Although I don't know much about this body, I still understand the basics. After all, it is my future body."
Princess Diamond continued: "I remember that at the beginning, we had a big disagreement with the goblins on the materials used to build this body. Which is the material with the strongest defense and the strongest, or the material with the best magic guidance? Best performance, in the end, the mages seemed to [convince] the goblins to use the materials of their choice."
When talking about the word "persuasion", Princess Diamond specially emphasized her tone, which seemed to contain many meanings, such as... persuading with fists?
"Because of this, this body is so easy to be destroyed. If the materials suggested by the goblin were used at that time, no strong person at the World Power level would be able to cause such serious damage to the body."
"So powerful?"
Everyone took a breath. How powerful and precious this material must be to have such defensive power. No wonder this plan can become the trigger for the decline of the Horadric clan. Not counting other things, just this one. The body of the machine doll probably contains enough valuable materials to make several artifacts.
"Then why didn't we use strong materials at that time?" I couldn't help but curiously asked. According to Princess Diamond, it seems that if the most defensive materials were used at that time, even the level of the Four Demon Kings would not be able to be easily harmed. Are those mages out of their minds?
"Although the strongest material was given up, the magical performance added in its place is not much inferior." Princess Diamond paused for a long time, as if there was some unspeakable reason, and finally continued.
"More importantly...the strongest materials...are not soft enough, and the body created cannot meet the softness that a girl's body should have, but the magic-guiding materials can..."
Everyone was collectively speechless.
Those dirty mages really deserve to be singles and prostitutes for the rest of their lives.
"By the way, what is the added magical performance you just mentioned?" Putting aside this embarrassing topic, I couldn't wait to ask.
"Self-healing ability." After a moment of silence and whetting her appetite, Princess Diamond said with certainty, word by word.
Can even the [beep] membrane be repaired indefinitely? While I was shocked, I must have been the only one who suddenly had this thought in my mind...
Burned out...please vote for me...RS
