In a wasteland outside Tristram, Number One and Number Seven were speeding through waist-deep grass.

They were hurrying to a long-abandoned mausoleum, where the bones of the former Chancellor of the Duchy of Tristrium (not Sarnagar Emon~) were buried, who had sealed up part of the soul of King Leorik, who had been killed by the captain of his Praetorian Guard, in his crown and buried him with it.

In Diablo III, players must first obtain the broken crown from the Prime Minister's Soul guarding the crown, then give it to the blacksmith to repair it, and finally bring the crown to King Leorik's corpse in the royal tomb** in order to resurrect it in the world and defeat it once and for all.

But that's only in the game, after all.

In reality, Leoric is not so easy to deal with, this guy is the only strongman in the entire First World who has reached the level of legend, and it is precisely because the Prime Minister took the crown that seals part of his soul that it has no way to go to hell and no way to leave the catacombs.

The only way to free it is to get the crown, then banish the Prime Minister's soul and return it to Leorik so that the Black Mad King, who has been able to complete all souls, can be reunited.

However, the demon army in Tristram is terrifying, and all of them are doppelganger-level monsters, and ordinary professionals will not be able to reach the Prime Minister's Mausoleum not far from Tristram.

And after getting all the souls, Leoric will become even more terrifying, and once it returns to Hell, the Hell forces on the Second World front will have another terrifying boost.

Therefore, after some consideration, the council decided to let King Leorik be trapped in the royal tomb of Tristram like this, although the existence of the demonic earth city that has become a monster paradise is a huge security risk for all human kingdoms in the entire western realm, but as long as King Leorik cannot break free from the blockade of the catacombs, the monsters in the city will not easily escape.

As for the hell aspect, Tristram is also a nail in the chest of the humans in the First World, and the existence of the Black Mad Lord Leorik has forced the human nations in the Western Realm to reserve enough strength to defend against it, which has reduced the pressure on the demon legions that are at war with humans in the Second World.

The most important thing is that the three demon gods of Hell have always maintained Tristram's existence, and of course they have their long-term plans.

In the event of a major change in the tide of the Eternal War, whether it is good or bad for Hell, they can pose a real threat to Heaven's allies, humanity, by moving the nail that Tristram has buried in the human chest.

At the same time, Tristram can also become a springboard for the second invasion of the first world by the forces of hell, where the entire city has been demonized, as long as the hellish side of the eternal war wins, the demon army can be directly transmitted to Tristram through the portal at any time, and use this place as a big rear to invade the human world.

Therefore, for various reasons, the evil pact and the professional side did not touch the tomb of the prime minister Emon, which is like a microcosm of the tug-of-war between hell and humanity, which is both ignored and extremely important.

And now, what One and Seven, who are nominally evil pact, but who are in fact loyal to Sarnagar, are ready to do is to upset the balance here and unleash the wrath of the Black Mad Lord back into the human world, using this as a cover to realize their own plans.

"Are you sure you want to do this? I still think it's a little unreliable......"

On the thick meadows of the plains, Seven looked at the abandoned noble tombs that had become looming under the fog not far away, and once again a trace of uneasy premonition appeared in his heart.

"Don't worry, you and I both know why Leorik is still locked under the royal tomb, Hell wants to use its power to keep Tristram dirty, and humanity doesn't want to see another legendary-level master appear on the battlefield front of the Second World.

But the Black Mad Monarch himself is very unhappy with these arrangements, and he is also a top powerhouse beyond the legend, so what's the matter with being locked up in the tomb like a prisoner all day long?

So as long as we loosen the seal and give Leoric the ability to project a doppelganger to the outside world, he will personally lead its Legion of Death to find the crown at all costs for its own freedom! ”

No. 1 had analyzed it thoroughly, and it was clear that he had already drafted the plan.

Hearing his words, No. 7 reluctantly suppressed the strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, and followed No. 1 into the withered and desolate aristocratic mausoleum.

It had obviously not been here for a long time, the weeds in the cemetery had grown to almost a man's height, and the tombs of the nobles, who had been either grand or luxurious, were stained, with cracks and collapsed sculptures everywhere.

"Which is Aemon's tomb?" One pauses and asks back to Seven.

"Here, follow me." Seven nodded, looked around a little, and soon found the right path.

He'd been in Tristram for decades, and of course he knew the location of such an important place as Aemon's mausoleum, but he never went down there.

The two walked one after the other, in addition to the cold air and weeds on the ground, there were also some skeletons that were polluted by the power of hell and crawled out of the coffin underground, but none of these things came to trouble the evil pact, so they also walked smoothly.

In less than a few minutes, the two of them came to the entrance of a very low-key mausoleum, the entrance of which was built simply and low, and it was hidden among a large number of luxurious aristocratic tombs, and it was impossible to find it without careful inspection.

"This is it, here's what's going on... I don't know much either, but there's a protective barrier at this entrance, which is very difficult to break. ”

Seven pointed to the tunnel of the black hole behind the entrance to the mausoleum.

"Protective barriers? This is easy. After hearing his words, No. 1 just sneered disdainfully, and with a slight pause under his feet, an invisible circle of light spread out, and a light blue film of light suddenly appeared at the entrance of the tomb, and after being touched by the aperture diffused by No. 1, this layer of light film quickly dimmed and dissolved at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Forbidden Aura!

"I forgot ......" Seven shook his head, and when he saw that the protective barrier had been breached, he didn't say anything more, and followed One into the tomb.
