Chapter 8 This Is the Key to Turn the Fate

With the death of the corpse mother, the attack on Tristram by the army of the living dead finally came to an end. Captain Rumford and two strikers remain.

"Nice job, boy."

Looking at Fangzheng, Captain Rumford showed a relieved smile. He stretched out his hand and patted Fangzheng's shoulder hard before looking at the Crusaders beside him.

"Thank you for your help. Now you can go in. Leah is at the Bull Butcher Hotel. Fangzheng can take you there... What's the matter with you? Boy?"

"It's nothing, Captain Rumford."

Hearing Rumford's concerned inquiry, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders dejectedly, and said. He really regrets what he thought just now. Originally, Fangzheng thought that although the task assigned by this system was a little troublesome and dangerous, it could be regarded as a clear task goal. But what Fangzheng didn't expect was that the third stage of the "Guardian" mission was so stupid!

change destiny!

When he thought of the quest requirements, Fangzheng felt depressed. The quests refreshed by these systems were all random, and he had no impression at all, and the quest prompt itself did not give any clues, and only asked Fangzheng to change his predetermined destiny. But exactly what the content is, has not been explained at all. Not only that, the system also specially reminded that if this task fails, it will be forced to quit the task world, and it also adds a countdown timer very "intimately". So this is good, Fangzheng has only 48 hours to change this so-called "fate"... Originally, Fangzheng planned to follow Nephalem, but now it seems that this is impossible.

"Please come with me."

Thinking of this, Fang Zhengqiang cheered up, nodded to the Crusaders beside him, and then walked into the town.

The two of them didn't say much along the way. If there was time, Fang Zheng wanted to see what kind of person the "official" Nephalem was. But now he doesn't have the mood to waste time. He only gave himself forty-eight hours in the third stage of the mission, and Fang Zheng still has no clue about this fate.

This is also because Fangzheng doesn't remember the plot of Diablo 3 very well, but it's no wonder that when you are addicted to the big secret realm every day, what Diablo is talking about really doesn't matter to the player at all. Brushing a suit is real...

When Fang Zheng brought the Crusaders to the Cow Slaughtering Hotel, he saw Leah frowning in front of the counter. This short-haired girl is sitting on a chair at the moment, whispering something to the boss. Seeing Fangzheng pushing the door in, the boss immediately interrupted the conversation with Leah and waved at him enthusiastically.

"Boy! You saved us again! Come on, this cup is what I invited you to... Who is this lady?"

Hearing the boss's question, the Crusader next to Fangzheng stepped forward. She stretched out her hand and took off her helmet, revealing a heroic face, with long golden hair tied into a ponytail and draped over her shoulders. He smiled mildly at the innkeeper, then looked at Leah.

"Hello, Miss Leia, I am a Crusader who believes in Zakarum, my name is Irebeth..."

I'm going!

Fang Zheng, who walked to the counter, almost spilled the wine in his hand when he heard these words. He turned his head and looked at the Crusader in front of him in disbelief—this Nephalem, your hairstyle is different from yours. The names are very unlucky!

I've seen the end, have you?

Don't say anything else, Fang Zheng felt that it was true that the Crusaders should change her name and hairstyle first, so that she could easily complete her task... That's why.

So is it Leah?

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng looked at the young girl again. Of course, he knew that the evil god was hidden inside the girl, and that the evil god would use her body to resurrect in the end. Logically speaking, if Fangzheng directly hacked her to death with a sword at this moment, it would be regarded as a change of fate. However...is this possible?

Not to mention that Leah herself is a combat professional, the power of the evil god in her body is equally terrifying, even if Fang Zheng makes a surprise attack, it will never blind the evil god's eyes. If you push it in a hurry, Fangzheng won't be able to get it. So this thought just swirled around in Fangzheng's mind, and he put it down immediately.

At this time, Irebeth had begun to ask Leah about the meteor that fell from the sky, and Leah also explained the Nephalem like in the game, and asked her to find her own. Uncle... Deckard Cain... eh?

Hearing this, Fang Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

By the way, how could I ignore such an important person, Deckard Cain!

If Fangzheng remembers correctly, Deckard Cain was threatened by the cult leader Magda, asking him to repair the broken holy sword of Angel Tyrael, but Cain refused to do so and was seriously injured by Magda's men. And then Leah exploded her power and drove away Magda and her party. In the end, Kane tried his best to restore the holy sword, but he himself was eventually killed because the oil ran out.

At this time, Nephalem left Tristram because he was looking for the third fragment of the holy sword!

So, if I found the third holy sword shard early, would I be able to prevent Nephalem from leaving Tristram? In this way, is it possible to reverse the fate?

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng felt that this was the key to turning his fate around!

With his current strength, he basically doesn't need to think about saving Nephalem or hacking Big Pineapple. He is just a militia now. Even if he learns to strike with the Crusaders, Fang Zheng doesn't think he will be more capable than Nephalem. So removing those difficult options, what I can do now is to retrieve the third holy sword fragment in advance, so that Kane can repair the holy sword early, and Tyrael, who has lost his memory, will not be killed. Magda was taken away, and then she went through the maze over and over again. Kane could survive, wouldn't everything be fine? Taking a step back, even if Kane died because of something wrong, Tyrael was prevented from being captured, and his memory was restored in advance, this would be a change of fate!

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng immediately made a decision. With the protagonist Nephalem on the Meteorite, he was not afraid of problems, not to mention that the mission had given him a time limit, so it was certain that the plot would happen around here. Otherwise, if Fangzheng was to go to Zhigaotian to change his fate, he would probably end the mission time before he arrived at the place.

"Then, I'll leave immediately."

At this time, the Crusader with a dangerous hairstyle and a dangerous name had finished talking to Leah. She stood up, put on her helmet again, and looked at Fangzheng.

"Do you want to come with me?"

"No, I have more important tasks."

Although it is a good thing to be valued by the protagonist, Fangzheng has no time to entangle in this aspect, so he had to shake his head and refused Nephalem's invitation. And Nephalem didn't say much, just nodded slightly and then turned around and left immediately.

After watching Nephalem leave, Fang Zheng also walked out of the tavern. He wanted to chat more with Leah, but unfortunately the other party didn't seem to be in the mood to chat with him, perhaps because he rejected Nephalem's request Leah was very dissatisfied, so the girl just glanced at Fangzheng, turned around and went back to her room without saying anything. But of course Fangzheng doesn't have the same knowledge as her. If he accidentally provokes the big pineapple, he is the one who is unlucky?

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng didn't say much, but left the tavern, then went straight to Captain Rumford and asked him to go to Watson.

"To Watson?"

Hearing Fangzheng's request, Captain Rumford was obviously surprised.

"What are you doing at Watson?"

"I got some news. I heard that some fragments of the meteorite seem to fall in the direction of Watson, so I want to go to Watson to see if I can find clues to unlock the secret of the meteorite."

There was nothing wrong with what Fangzheng said, so Rumford didn't think about it for too long, then nodded and agreed to his request.

"Okay, I'll tell the boatman to get the boat ready, but you've just been through a tough battle, don't you plan to rest before leaving?"

"No, I'll just take a break on the way."

After all, the countdown to this task has begun, so there is still extra time to waste on the bed.

"All right."

Seeing Fang Zheng's impatient look, Captain Rumford didn't say much, he just nodded, and then took Fang Zheng to the pier. After talking with the boatman there, the boatman took Fang Zheng and set off. All the way down the river, driving in the direction of Watson.
