Chapter 111: Niracek
In the snowy city of Harlogas, the leader of the barbarians, Qualkirk, was leading Xue Hua and Kane to a place that resembled an altar behind the Council of Elders against another sudden snowstorm.
The altar was surrounded by three stone pillars, which were carved with mysterious patterns that Xue Hua couldn't understand at all, and Kane told him that they were all the ancestors of the barbarian clan, and each regiment represented the ancestor of a barbarian.
Qualkik walked up to the altar and lowered the hammer in his hand, and without saying a word, he opened his arms and faced the center of the altar in an encircled position.
"Ancestors, our land is under threat, and your descendants have come to ask for your help!"
He chanted aloud with a look of devotion on his face, and strange spiritual fluctuations transmitted from him to the three stone pillars around the altar.
Click... Click, click, click!!
The three stone pillars began to tremble, and a downward crack soon cracked in the ground in the center of the altar.
Qualkek withdrew his arms and raised his feet to descend the cracked staircase.
At that moment, an old but shrill voice suddenly came from behind them.
"Quarkek! What are you going to do, why are you disturbing the slumber of your ancestors?! ”
Xue Hua and Kane looked back, only to see a thin old man wearing a rich robe made of blue silk cloth and white cashmere, with an elder's laurel on his head, hurrying towards them from the Elders' side.
"I will use the sacred relics of my clan to save our land and people!"
"Use the clan's holy relics?! Do you know what you're doing, Qualkek! The power of the clan relics can be weakened by one point once used, and it should be used at the most critical moment! ”
The blue-robed elder retorted loudly.
"Now, it's the most critical moment!" Qualkek's eyes narrowed, and there was an unmistakable aura of terror from his body.
Choked by Qualkek's powerful aura, the blue-robed elder couldn't bear it and took two steps back.
A hint of panic flashed across his thin old face, but he didn't know what he thought, and finally regained his composure.
"Qualkek, I admit that the situation in Harlogas is critical right now, but this situation cannot be solved even by using holy relics.
No matter how powerful the souls of the three ancestors were, their strength was also time-limited, and it was impossible for them alone to kill the demon army outside!
And what if you do kill all those demons?
They're just projections, they'll be reborn! And there's more ...... on the frozen plateau."
"I know! You don't need to be reminded of this! Qualkek raised his head and interrupted the blue-robed elder's words, and Xue Hua felt that he was looking at him intentionally or unintentionally.
"Then don't be so stubborn, leave the holy relics, and let them work at the most critical moment."
The blue-robed elder tried to dissuade Quarkek, but what kind of person was the general leader of the barbarians?
Once he's decided, he has to do it!
"Nilasek, you don't have to worry about things here!
When the Presbyterians were martyred, since you chose to stay, you should do your duty!
I'm the big leader of the barbarians, and here, I'm in charge! ”
"Qualkek... I hope you don't regret your stubbornness! ”
Elder Niracek's face turned pale with anger, and his whole body was almost on the verge of swinging.
But Quarkek ignored him, grabbing the hammer and descending the cracked tunnel in the altar.
It was only after he went down that Nilasek became aware of the existence of Xue Hua and Kane, and he immediately realized that Qualkek's sudden behavior was probably "provoked" by these two outsiders, so he walked over to them with an angry face on his face.
"You are not welcome here, outsiders!
If you know each other, get out of here before you bring irreparable disaster to Harlogas! ”
Kane initially turned his back to Nilasek and did not turn away even when Qualkek reprimanded him.
But at this time, when he heard these words that clearly meant expulsion, he couldn't hold back any longer.
Kane turned his face away with a frown, and looked at Niracek with an icy gaze.
"Elder... Our business is not something you should worry about, nor is it something you can worry about.
Mind yourselves, and don't let the hopes that other elders put on you be discredited! ”
"You... You're Decca Kane! ”
The moment Niracek saw Kane's face, his face distorted.
Kane's name is well known to everyone in the human world, and even the Parliament usually sells him face.
What's more, this time, he almost came to Halogas to help as a council emissary, and offending him was tantamount to offending the entire council of the Demon Fortress!
Nilasek couldn't afford to be guilty of this crime, he thought that this old man was just a charlatan who came to cheat and eat and drink!
"Your big leader is not old and foolish, if we were just liars, I am afraid that we would not need you to stop it, and we would have been chopped into meat sauce and sprinkled into the abyss behind Harogas."
Xue Hua also sneered on the side.
He didn't forget that in the fifth act of the original game, this old bastard was a typical two-five boy.
When the player first arrives, he will issue two missions to the player, and he will be extremely sarcastic in the tasks posted, and his tone will be quite arrogant and contemptuous.
But then, when the Hellish army's assault on Harogas became more and more difficult to resist, the guy's will was easily shaken.
He soon had a nervous breakdown, believing that they were fighting a war that simply could not be won.
He then captured Anya and left her to die in an underground glacier full of monsters.
It is not difficult to see that at that time, he had actually taken refuge in Baal and became a minion of hell.
Players will eventually fight Anyah in his hidden temple after rescuing him and eventually kill him - by the way, this guy is quite a powerful necromancer.
Xue Hua didn't have the slightest good impression of him, so he didn't leave any mercy when he opened his mouth to ridicule.
Unexpectedly, his sarcasm drew Niracek's attention to him.
The old man with a dark vulture face immediately turned his face to look at Xue Hua, and said in a sharp and hoarse voice, "Ah, a necromancer. As much as I envy your people's courage in pursuing dark magic, we really don't have your skills.
Even if you don't meddle in your business, this war will immediately become our song of victory. Still, I should expect to see your people at this time.
You're no different from a moth to a fire - attracted by the mass of death here. That can give you satisfaction in every way, doesn't it? ”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a voice from Qualkek came from the altar with a slight annoyance.
"Watch your attitude! Elder, this is Xue Hua, the hero who saved King's Harbor and Rugoin, the reconquier of Kurast Harbor, the liberator of Skeletron, and the demon nemesis!
He's here to help us! ”
"Help?"
A grim sneer crossed the face of the Niracek Vulture.
"With all due respect, your horde of titles is daunting, but after we've lost so many people, who do you think you can do what the glorious warriors of our people can't?"
"You don't have to worry about that, Elder!" Quarkek interrupted Nirasek's words very rudely, and with a strange stone sculpture in his right hand, he turned to Xue Hua and Kane to wink, and without saying a word, led them in the direction of the city wall.
