With the death of the Zombie Mother, the undead army's attack on Tristram finally came to an end. When Fangzheng dragged his exhausted body back to the town gate with the Paladin, the only living people left to greet them were Rumford and the two archers.
"Well done, kid."
Rumford smiled happily at Fangzheng. He patted Fangzheng's shoulder hard, then turned to the Paladin beside him.
"Thank you for your help. You can go in now. Leah is in the Cattle Butcher Hotel. Fangzheng will take you there … What's wrong? Kid? "
"It's nothing, Captain Rumford."
Upon hearing Rumford's concerned question, Fangzheng shrugged gloomily and said, "It's fine. He really regretted his thoughts just now. Fangzheng thought that although the mission issued by the system was a little troublesome and dangerous, at least it had a clear mission goal. But Fangzheng didn't expect the third stage of the "Guardian" mission to be so annoying!
Change your destiny!
Fangzheng was depressed when he thought of the mission requirements. The missions that the system refreshed were all random, so he had no impression of them at all. The mission notification itself didn't give any clues. It only asked Fangzheng to change his destiny. As for the specific content of the mission, there was no explanation. Not only that, the system also specifically reminded him that if he failed the mission, he would be forced to leave the mission world. The system also "thoughtfully" included a countdown timer. Fangzheng only had 48 hours to change his so-called "destiny" …. Fangzheng originally planned to grind by Nephalem's side, but now it seemed impossible.
"Please come with me."
With that in mind, Fangzheng braced himself and nodded to the Paladin beside him, then walked into the town.
The two of them did not talk much along the way. If there was time, Fangzheng would like to see what kind of person the "official" Nephalem was. However, he wasn't in the mood to waste time. The third phase of the quest only gave him 48 hours, and Fangzheng had no clue about this destiny.
Fangzheng couldn't really remember the storyline of Diablo 3, but it was no wonder. After all, when you were addicted to the Greater Dungeon every day, what Diablo 3 was about was no longer important to you. Before that, it was more important to farm for new equipment ….
When Fangzheng arrived at the Bull Butchering Inn with the Sacred Army, he immediately saw Rheia frowning at the counter. The short-haired girl was sitting on a chair at the moment, whispering something to the boss. Upon seeing Fangzheng pushing the door open, the boss immediately interrupted his conversation with Leah and waved at him enthusiastically.
"Kid! You saved us once again! Here, this is on me …. Who's this lady? "
Upon hearing the boss' question, the Sacred Army beside Fangzheng came forward. She took off her helmet and revealed a handsome face. Her long blonde hair was tied into a ponytail and draped over her shoulder. She smiled warmly at the boss, then turned to Rheia.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Rheia. I'm a Sacred Army believer of Zakarum. My name is Arrebess …."
What the heck!
Fangzheng, who was walking to the counter, almost spilled the wine in his hand when he heard this. He turned around and stared at the Paladin in bewilderment. Nephalem, your hairstyle and name are both very inauspicious!
I can already see the ending, can't I?
Putting everything else aside, Fangzheng felt that the most important thing to do right now was to get this Sacred Military lady to change her name and hairstyle. That way, his mission would probably be completed easily … .as if that would happen.
Could it be Rheia?
With that thought in mind, Fangzheng looked at the young girl again. Of course, he knew that there was an evil god hidden in her body, and that the evil god would eventually resurrect through her body. Logically speaking, if Fangzheng killed her with a single slash, that would change her fate. But … .was that even possible?
Rheia herself was a combat professional, and the evil god's power in her was equally terrifying. Even if Fangzheng ambushed her by surprise, he would not be able to deceive the evil god. If he forced the evil god into a corner, Fangzheng would not be able to get away with it. So, this thought only flashed through Fangzheng's mind for a moment before he immediately dismissed it.
At that moment, Arrebess had already started to ask Rheia about the meteor that fell from the sky. Rheia explained the situation to the Nephalem just like in the game, and at the same time, asked her to look for her uncle … Deckard Cain ….
Hmm? Fangzheng's eyes suddenly lit up.
How could he have overlooked such an important person, Deckard Cain!
If Fangzheng remembered correctly, Deckard Cain was threatened by the cult leader Magda to repair the broken Holy Sword of the angel Tyrael. However, Cain refused to comply and was seriously injured by Magda's men. Rheia then unleashed her power and drove Magda and her men away. In the end, Cain used the last bit of his strength to repair the Holy Sword, but he died because he was out of energy.
At that time, Nephalem left Tristram to look for the third fragment of the Holy Sword!
If Sheyan could find the third fragment of the Holy Sword earlier, would he be able to prevent Nephalem from leaving Tristram? Would he be able to change his fate this way?
Fangzheng felt that this was the key to changing his fate!
With his current strength, saving Nephalem or killing Big Pineapple was out of the question. He was just a militia now. Even if he learned Crusader Strike, Fangzheng did not think he would be more capable than Nephalem. Excluding the difficult options, the only thing he could do now was to find the third fragment of the Holy Sword earlier. This way, Cain could repair the Holy Sword earlier, and Tyrael, who had lost his memory, would not be captured by Magda. Then, Cain would be able to survive the maze again and again. Wouldn't that be great? Taking a step back, even if Cain died due to some accident, Tyrael would not be captured and Tyrael would be able to recover his memory earlier. This could also be considered as changing his fate!
With this in mind, Fangzheng immediately made a decision. With the main character, Nephalem, there, he wasn't afraid of any problems. Furthermore, the mission had given him a time limit, so he was certain that the plot would happen nearby. Otherwise, if Fangzheng went to the High Heaven to change his fate, the mission time would probably be over before he could get there.
"In that case, I will set off immediately."
At this time, the Paladin with the dangerous hairstyle and name had finished talking with Rheia. She stood up, put on her helmet again, and looked at Fangzheng.
"Do you want to come with me?"
"No, I have a more important mission."
Although it was good to be valued by the protagonist, Fangzheng did not have the time to waste on this. So, he shook his head and rejected Nephalem's invitation. Nephalem did not say much, only nodded slightly, and immediately turned around to leave.
After watching Nephalem leave, Fangzheng also walked out of the bar. He had wanted to chat with Rheia, but unfortunately, she didn't seem to be in the mood to do so. Perhaps it was because Fangzheng had rejected Nephalem's request that Rheia was displeased. Therefore, the girl only glanced at Fangzheng and returned to her room without saying a word. But of course, Fangzheng would not stoop to her level. If he accidentally provoked Bigpineapple, he would be the one in trouble, wouldn't he?
At this thought, Fangzheng did not say much. He left the tavern, looked for Captain Rumford, and requested to head to Watson.
"Watson?"
Upon hearing Fangzheng's request, Captain Rumford was clearly surprised.
"Why are you going to Watson?"
"I received some news that some fragments of the meteorite fell in the direction of Watson. So, I want to go to Watson to see if I can find clues to unravel the secrets of the meteorite."
There was nothing wrong with what Fangzheng said, so Rumford did not think for long before nodding and agreeing to his request.
"Alright, I will inform the boatman to prepare the boat. But you just went through a fierce battle, don't you want to rest before leaving?"
"It's fine, I will just take a break along the way."
After all, the countdown to the mission had begun, so where would he find the time to waste in bed?
"Alright."
