Chapter 1166 Past and Hope
"So you, the unlucky guy, are the chosen punching bag?"
Hailab asked looking at Olongus in front of him who had been beaten so violently that his face was swollen to the point of being unrecognizable.
"What do you think? Otherwise, who would come to you to get beaten?
Don't think I don't know, that bastard Cassius is definitely capable of fighting with you! But he had no such idea at all! "
Olongus took an egg he found from somewhere and kept rubbing it on his face.
"Has anyone ever told you that eggs used to reduce swelling need to be peeled and cooked?"
Hailab asked with a strange expression.
After Olongus heard these words, he lost control of his hand for a moment, and the egg of an unknown animal was crushed directly on his face!
The egg liquid hanging on that swollen face made Olongus look very funny.
"I have no idea."
Olongus seemed to be trying his best to make a painful expression.
He wiped his face haphazardly, and then wiped his hands on the ground to make them clean.
"So did Rasuk tell you that you'd better wash your hands after you do something stupid?"
Herab had already turned his head when he said these words.
He was suppressing a smile, but he couldn't hold it in anymore.
What Orlongus did at this time was particularly funny, but Hailab couldn't tell for a while whether Orlongus deliberately made himself look like a clown to make people laugh.
The way these guys express their feelings is often irresponsible and even funny.
"So go and persuade Bulcasso."
Olongus lay directly on the ground as if his bones had been taken away.
“Because you’re just so stupid, it’s hard for me to tell whether you’re really stupid or you’re doing it on purpose.
But you've already been beaten, and now it's time for me to go and beat you up. "
Hailab said after letting out a long sigh.
“It doesn’t matter, there’s nothing more we can expect anyway.
You must not have imagined what I said to Koutur before. I was really shaken at that moment! "
What Olongus said did not sound like he was talking to Hellab in front of him, but more like he was communicating with himself.
“Who among us has not wavered?
Don’t forget, we are all human, and we all have that mortal heart that the Archangels fear.
We have as much trouble as happiness, although smiles cannot represent happiness. "
Hailab walked to the corner of his house, and then took down a huge stone from the wall.
This thing is not unusual at all, after all, most barbarian houses are built with stones like this.
Because the stones have been trimmed by them, most of them fit tightly when stacked.
But there is a big hole above this stone!
Inside the cave were neatly placed several jars that looked like they were made of stone.
"You're lucky, I just want a drink right now.
After I was summoned by Bulkesso using the obsession of the Holy Mountain, I immediately went to the huge pit left by the Holy Mountain of Arreat.
The place where I hid the wine was not on the holy mountain, so there are still a few bottles left.
Then I built this house for myself and hid all my favorite wines. "
Hailab talked easily about what he had done back then.
He smoothly pulled out a jar from the rocks and handed it directly to Hailab.
"We didn't like you very much, but we never thought you would hide wine in the walls of the house."
Olongus curled his lips, then broke off the seal of the jar and poured it into his mouth.
Then he sat up suddenly and looked at Hairab in front of him with an expression of disbelief.
"How scarce were supplies at that time when you were alive?"
Olongus swallowed the wine with some difficulty before asking Hailab.
"This is the first time I've tasted wine made from meat. Also! What kind of meat was used in yours?"
Olongus looked down at the impossibly transparent jar in his hand and asked in disbelief.
"Devil's flesh and blood, you did it Olongus! You did it by eating the devil's flesh and blood!
How do you feel now that the adjective of hate has truly become a reality? "
Hellab did not answer Olongus' previous question.
He just smiled and his eyes were calm!
“Is he so hungry that even the flesh and blood of demons become food to satisfy his hunger?
It's really hard for me to imagine.
Didn't you hear the curses of the demons before you killed them? "
Olongus's expression was very strange.
"Of course they are intelligent beings, there is no doubt about that.
But when they gnawed at Nephalem's body, it didn't seem that surprising to face such a result, right?
We need to keep fighting until there is no more evil in sight! "
Hailab was very determined, but his tone was so calm that it gave Olongus a trace of fear.
"Then this wine..."
“Don’t worry, I confirmed it after killing this demon.
There is no nephalem in his body.
In other words, this demon is either on a hunger strike, or he is the kind who has never eaten the nephalem. "
Herab made a little joke.
Of course the demons will not go on a hunger strike.
This demon might just be unlucky enough to bump into Hellab just after crawling out of the burning hell.
"The barbarians of the Tagus tribe are mad."
Olongus shook his head helplessly, and then poured the wine in the jar back into his mouth as if he had the courage to do so.
“We are the most typical examples of savage madness.
But barbarians from other tribes rarely seem to ask why we are the craziest.
If given a choice, who would be willing to associate with madness.
The reason I was angry at Warusk's actions was simply because once again he did not give me the power to choose.
I can't stand this. "
Herab smiled.
Then he also opened a can of wine and poured it into his mouth.
He didn't have any other reaction to this weird tasting wine, he was already used to it.
"I suspect that the disdainful term barbarian is because those guys happened to meet barbarians from the Tagus tribe."
Olongus complained.
Then he lay back on the ground.
After being surprised, he had no special reaction.
In the chaotic years, it has been very difficult for the Nephalem to continue until now.
"We don't care anyway, do we?
Once the guardian of the World Stone, he shouldered such a lofty responsibility.
But weren't we still called barbarians at that time?
It's just a title. "
Herab grinned.
"Then you were severely punished by Bulcasso for several days because of his name, and you even had to shout 'My name is Goudan' on the Holy Mountain?"
Olongus mercilessly exposed Hailab's background.
This may be the most embarrassing time in Hellab's existence!
It’s just that few people will mention it after that.
On the one hand, most of the barbarians who had seen this scene had become dead and were sleeping peacefully.
On the other hand, few of them are willing to fight Hailab in a one-on-one battle.
Going toe-to-toe with the barbarians of the Tagus tribe was not a pleasant experience, it could even be said to be a terrible experience.
A group of guys who can use their anger to get rid of most negative states.
Fighting him will make you feel like facing a wooden stake that will fight back.
There will be no instinctive curling up after being hit, nor will the movements deform due to pain.
The longer you fight with them, the more fear and doubt you have about yourself.
These guys are extremely difficult to deal with, and Hellabo, who is also an immortal monster, is even more difficult to deal with.
“Looking at the fact that I just beat you up so hard, I won’t do anything to you again today.
But you'd better get out before the sun comes up the next day.
Because at that time I might be in a bad mood because I was about to get beaten up, and I needed a punching bag. "
Hailab said angrily.
"Then let's wait until the sun rises tomorrow to decide.
The taste of the wine you hid is surprisingly refreshing once you get used to it. "
Olongus's words were already a bit drunk.
But he shouldn't have gotten drunk so quickly.
And Hellabo’s wine actually doesn’t taste good at all.
This thing is simply throwing the demon's flesh and blood into the water, and then processing it in the roughest way.
Even in addition to the thin smell of alcohol, there is also a bit of rancid smell.
“I think so too, but now we can drink better-tasting wine.
Praise be to the Immortal King, whoever he is. "
Herab said with a smile.
He held up the jar in his hand, and then a little of the wine in the jar spilled out.
So Olongus, who had just lay down, sat up again!
"You! What you are drinking is Bulcasso's Reserve!"
Orlongus's lips trembled in anger!
"Yes, I said, we can drink better-tasting wine now, and I even praised the Immortal King Bulcasso."
Herab said with a smile.
“Come on, let’s start round two!
I must put a stone into your mouth today! And it’s still processed stone! "
Olongus cursed and tried to stand up.
But he had just stood up halfway when Helabh punched him and put him down again.
"Even when I'm lying down, I can stay ahead of you for several blocks in close combat.
If it's just close combat, even if you add Cassius, you can only have some back and forth with me! "
Hailab laughed wildly.
And Olongus let out an unwilling roar accompanied by a cry of pain!
He was beaten again!
The barbarians of the Tagus tribe never turn down a challenge!
It was Olongus himself who said he wanted to go to the second round.
This is not something that Helab wants to find an opportunity to retaliate against Olongus for exposing his background. Really...probably.
…
Li Min left the Holy Mountain of Harrogas.
She didn't think she needed to comfort Bulqueso.
They should have been accustomed to being with pain long ago, although Li Min has not lost much because of his strength and youth.
But she has actually been used to all this for a long time, but in the past she mostly saw this as a bystander.
Li Min decided to leave in person after learning the news from Nazbo.
Nazebo did not hide his discovery from his companions, but only Li Min, who is also a spellcaster, can understand the value of this thing.
If Rasma's beloved apprentice Zul was still alive, he should also be able to realize how amazing this is!
Something that can obviously affect other people's minds, this thing can be said to touch a part of the essence of the soul!
Li Min can't be uninterested in such a novel thing as the Anti-Life Equation.
Li Min decided to take a look for herself, and even got a map to plan her route.
She can indeed reach her destination with one teleport.
But Nephalem also needs to rest, and it is not meaningless to see the scenery they have never seen before.
At least for the mage.
Along the way, Li Min will pass through Canduras and New York.
Even through the territory of Latovilia.
She plans to go to New York to see Vera's situation first, and then go to Canduras to urge Ulena to take over Vera's job as soon as possible.
Then take a look at Dr. Doom, who wants to use demons and has even achieved some results.
Dr. Doom is a very good talent and a good spellcaster.
Li Min still misses her school days, when she occasionally attended gatherings with classmates.
But after leaving Xiansai College, those gatherings have completely become a thing of the past.
"Auriel, it should be okay for me to call you by your name now, right?
Anyway, you haven't spread the wings of the Archangel of Hope at this time."
Li Min said without raising her head.
Her eyes are still on the map.
"Of course, I'm just curious."
Auriel said gently.
Her voice makes it difficult for people to feel anxious or anything like that.
Always gentle, with a pleasant warm feeling.
"You shouldn't leave the range of the Holy Mountain of Harrogath.
After all, if I were those demons, you would definitely be the main target.
After you choose to accept the protection of the Nephalem, the archangels will not watch you face danger.
But they won't provide help too obviously.
Of course, I have to say that Imprus is an exception."
Li Min said casually.
Auriel is still the most special one, so Li Min doesn't think that Auriel just happened to meet her here to relax.
"I don't want to say anything profound, but I feel that you won't gain much from this trip."
Auriel said.
"Come on, you are not destiny.
Unless you are willing to risk angering me and tamper with the field of hope.
You shouldn't be so stupid or crazy."
Li Min said nonchalantly.
Auriel deserves attention, because hope is something that everyone knows exists, but it is difficult to describe its appearance.
That is to say, under normal circumstances, even if hope is fiddled with by Auriel, other beings cannot be sure of anything.
Hope is like the sun in the eyes of ordinary people. It is there, and people also enjoy the convenience brought by the sun.
But no one has ever touched the sun in person!
"I am just a reminder, not a threat.
Hope is not omnipotent. It can only save those who have not given up saving themselves."
Auriel said softly.
"It's meaningless for you to tell me this.
In my opinion, you are just boasting that all miracles are attributed to hope.
I don't deny the importance of hope, but I also have reasonable doubts about the importance of hope."
Li Min finally folded the map and looked up at Auriel in front of him.
"The value of hope may be that it has no value.
I don't want you to believe in me at all, but the Nephalem always pin their hopes on me.
I am now, but it is not the result of my calculations."
Auriel lowered his head slightly, letting his vision be blocked by the hood.
