Chapter 352 King Leoric
Did it succeed?
Lan Wu suddenly felt that the Skeleton King under him stopped struggling, and he looked up at Leah hesitantly. The latter shook her head and floated back into the sky. Not only the two of them, but also Gross and others looked over here with fear, not even daring to blink.
Leah said that only by getting the crown can the Skeleton King be killed. In fact, except for Lan Wu, Gross and the other three, especially Flora, never believed it. No one has ever seen the power of faith, and few people have mentioned it. Even if the power of faith is mentioned, most of them are only some paladins. Can this thing that seems to exist in another time and space kill the Skeleton King?
"Damn it." Ruhadi on the roof in the distance saw that the Skeleton King was motionless, and he hated it so much that his nails dug deep into his palm without noticing. Once the Skeleton King died, it would be his turn next. Without the protection of the Skeleton King, it would be as easy for the demons and undead creatures in the city to kill him as drinking a sip of water.
At this time, the Skeleton King suddenly moved. Lan Wu immediately pressed the legendary sword nervously, fearing that the Skeleton King would suddenly rise up. At this time, the two of them were basically tied together. Even if they wanted to teleport, they would need a little time to activate their skills. He didn't think that Skeleton King would give him the opportunity to activate his skills with his strength.
"Let me go. I am Leoric... the former king of Khanduras." Skeleton King knew Lan Wu's worries, but he just said his current identity with a lonely look.
"Sorry." Lan Wu breathed a sigh of relief, pulled out the legendary sword with all his strength and jumped off Skeleton King's back.
"I'm glad to see that you have found yourself again, the great king of Khanduras." Leah floated down and saluted Skeleton King happily.
"You... you are Leah?" Skeleton King turned over and sat up, looking at Leah with some hesitation: "Kane's niece, the last descendant of the Horadrim?"
"I'm honored that you still remember me." Leah saluted again, her eyebrows full of nostalgia. It can't be said that it is a kind of happiness to meet someone who knows you after thousands of years.
At this time, Lan Ya suddenly came like the wind, threw herself into the arms of the Skeleton King, and hugged it tightly with both hands. Gross and the other two were startled, and subconsciously raised their weapons, fearing that the Skeleton King would explode.
"You...you are Lan Ya, my daughter Lan Ya?" The soul fire in the Skeleton King's eyes suddenly trembled, and it was obviously in a state of excitement. It hugged Lan Ya tightly, and its soul fire was sometimes weak and sometimes soared. It was obvious that its spirit was in an extremely unstable state.
Lan Wu and Liya walked aside tactfully, leaving time for the father and daughter who had met for thousands of years.
At this time, Gross and the other two also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Lan Ya suddenly rush over and hug the Skeleton King, the three of them only thought that Lan Ya discovered that the Skeleton King wanted to resist. As a result, looking at Lan Wu's actions, he obviously guessed wrong. Thinking of Lan Ya's identity again, the three of them suddenly realized and found a place to sit down and rest.
In any case, the danger was lifted.
Ruhadi saw the Skeleton King's change from a distance, and he punched the wall unwillingly, then turned around and left resolutely. The Skeleton King is unreliable, and if he doesn't leave now, he will have no chance to leave. It is right to go to the Skeleton King's castle and plunder it now.
No one cares whether Ruhadi stays or leaves. Anyway, the biggest enemy, the Skeleton King, has become one of their own. Virgil is guarding the entrance to the catacombs on the ground. It is only a matter of time before Ruhadi is caught.
The Skeleton King and Lan Ya rekindled their family ties for a long time. Lan Wu was not anxious. Judging from the current situation, Leah's original judgment was obviously wrong. It seems that the Skeleton King is not impossible to recruit to New Tristram. With such a powerful Skeleton King sitting in the dungeon, this dungeon can truly be called the most stable rear base. And he needs such a stable rear base.
"Sorry." Since the Skeleton King found himself again, he has become the wise and capable King of Khanduras again. There is no trace of violence in his tone. If it weren't for the skeleton, he would be like a kind elder.
"It doesn't matter." Lan Wu shrugged his shoulders and then told his plan. Skeleton King is of course the best person to consult on whether this dungeon can be transformed.
"It can be done, but it has been eroded by the magic of the demon god Diablo. A container is needed to absorb this magic." Skeleton King hesitated and said the biggest trouble.
Lan Wu fell silent. Diablo's magic is not so easy to deal with. From ancient times to the present, there are countless strong people who have sought to suppress Diablo's magic. But without exception, from King Leoric to the demon king Andariel, all were eroded by Diablo's magic and lost themselves, becoming demons who fanatically pursued power.
Where to find the container?
This question obviously stumped everyone, including Leah. This almost omniscient personal secretary was also helpless in the face of this problem. The reason is that no one can resist Diablo's magic.
"Trouble." Lan Wu scratched his head in distress. He now knew why these demons would be resurrected in the same place after death. The main reason was that the magic of hell eroded the earth. As a result, the remaining soul fragments of the demons gathered the scattered magic energy and transformed into bodies, thus resurrecting in the place where they died.
Suddenly he noticed that there was something wrong with the Skeleton King's eyes. Looking up, the Skeleton King was actually looking at him seriously. He was immediately shocked. Damn, is this the rhythm of asking me to be the container?
"I think you are very suitable." Since the Skeleton King recovered as the King of Khanduras, he seemed to have become very sinister.
Lan Wu felt that the Skeleton King was deliberately seeking revenge for the people who had been causing trouble to it for the past three years. I am also a human being, okay? What if he is corrupted by Diavolo's magic and turns into a devil? You can’t do it, how can I do it?
"Why didn't I think of this?" Leah immediately clapped her head in annoyance after hearing Skeleton King's words, and then looked at Lan Wu expectantly.
Lan Wu was stunned. This look is wrong.
"You don't have to worry about being eroded by Diavolo's magic power." The gentle voice of the Skeleton King rang out: "The benefactors are the messengers given to mankind by the gods. All the benefactors have firm beliefs. Even Diablo Luo’s magic power cannot corrode your consciousness.”
"Do you know that I am a divine benefactor?" Lan Wu was surprised again. Although he heard another saying about the Divine Benefactor from the Skeleton King, he was even more surprised that the Skeleton King actually knew that he was the Divine Benefactor.
"I sensed familiar soul fluctuations from your soul. Yes, that is the soul of the benefactor." The Skeleton King sighed with regret: "Back then, I was eroded by the magic power of the demon god Diavolo and lost I lost myself, eventually causing Tristram to be destroyed by the demons. Just when I was desperate, the god sent his messengers to help the survivors rebuild their homes. Resist the invasion of demons."
"Wait a minute, are you saying that you have seen the Divine Benefactor with your own eyes?" Lan Wu opened his eyes wide and began to doubt his life.
