Chapter 1578: Is it smart to pass the buck?

PreviousBack to directoryNext
The next day, Constantine appeared in front of Leoric.

As a legendary Nephalem, Constantine is qualified to communicate with Leoric head-on.

"You came to me wanting to know something about Uldyssian?"

Leoric frowned.

At this time, he is not in the posture of a skeleton king. With flesh and blood on his face, he can naturally show some normal expressions.

"Yes."

Constantine had no intention of denying it.

He came here just for this matter, although Constantine himself was not sure whether this would change after learning about Uldyssian.

But he had an intuition that this must be an opportunity to break through those secrets.

"Who asked you to come to me?"

Leoric continued to ask.

He did not deny that he knew something, but now he was more concerned about who told Constantine this kind of thing.

"Kahn."

Constantine did not make any cover-up for Kahn. After all, since a guy like Kahn had already spoken out his words, there was no reason to deny it.

Leoric just nodded after getting the answer he wanted.

His existence is not short, and it is not unacceptable for Kahn to think that there are some clues in him.

"All I know is that Bulqueso left something behind, and I don't know what's in it.

Although I don’t know why Bulqueso asked me to keep that thing, I think it’s definitely not for you.”

There was a hint of sarcasm in Leoric's words.

Coming to this world was basically an accident. Even if Bulcaisel left something behind, it was completely impossible to give it to the guys in this world.

Leoric didn't have any objections to Constantine.

Even if Constantine was somewhat disreputable, Leoric himself was not a good person.

There are not a few humans who have died at his hands. Even though most of them are tomb robbers who have set their sights on his tomb, there will occasionally be a few good people who want to clear out the undead from the underground palace to bring safety to the people nearby.

.

"I think this is a very important thing. What I want is not what Bulcaisuo left behind. I just need to know who Uldyssian is."

Constantine said very seriously.

He is not coveting the possible treasures Leoric and Bulcaisel left behind, he just wants a more detailed life story about a hero.

If someone could tell him these things directly, Constantine would not spend time in this place at all.

Don't think that meeting Leoric face to face is an easy thing. Even if Leoric doesn't show the true form of the Skeleton King, the aura exuding from him will make ordinary legends feel great pressure!

Although Leoric's strength is still among the legendary, it is also the pinnacle of the legendary ranks.

"Why don't you go find Volusk?"

Leoric's eyes flickered a little.

He didn't believe that Kahn didn't mention Volusk when he mentioned his name. Volusk, the immortal king of the previous generation, should know Uldyssian's story better than him, the Skeleton King.

"I don't want Bulcasso to know what I'm doing, and I don't know if he wants anyone to explore this past."

Constantine said meaningfully.

He consciously led the conversation to the idea of ​​"what conspiracy Bulcaisso may have", but Leoric remained expressionless, which was completely because he didn't want to follow his lead.

"There are obviously people on the Holy Mountain of Harrogas who know the answer, but you were instigated to find me."

Leoric wanted to laugh a little.

Constantine really underestimated the barbarians' holy mountain. As the only place where the secret realm of Nephalem can be opened, there are definitely not a few people who know the past stories.

"Who are you talking about?"

Constantine was a bit strange.

"Orek. You have the aura of a secret realm being opened about you. Don't tell me that you guys who always go in and out of secret realms don't know who Orek is.

He just doesn’t like to take the initiative to speak, but he’s not mute!”

Leoric began to conceal his sarcasm.

There are obviously super-ancient Nephalem souls on the holy mountain of the barbarians, but Constantine chose to stay far away.

And this guy Kahn knew that Orek could give Constantine the answer he wanted, but he lured Constantine away from the holy mountain of Harrogas.

"To be honest, you always feel that you are the smart one, and this can be seen in many places.

Confidence is not a bad thing, but when will a guy like you be able to distinguish the difference between confidence and arrogance?"

Leoric continued to sarcastically say.

Constantine thought thoughtfully: "So there is a high chance that I will not be able to return to the Holy Mountain of Harrogas now?"

Constantine's suspicions were justified.

If the problem can be solved so easily, then Kahn should not let him leave the sacred mountain of Harrogath.

If Kahn really knew something and did this, it means that he did not want Constantine to explore the answer to this question.

"why?"

Constantine asked as if talking to himself.

"There aren't that many whys. It's actually very simple. What you want to know could mean huge trouble."

After Leoric said these words, he no longer focused on Constantine.

Now Khanduras is also constantly facing demonic attacks. At this time, the only place where there are not many traces of demons is the Holy Mountain of Harrogas.

No demon with a little bit of brains would want to appear near the Holy Mountain of Harrogath, and demons without brains would generally not be too powerful.

Not to mention those guys posing a threat to the Holy Mountain of Harrogas, they might not have even reached the main entrance of the Holy Mountain before they were dealt with.

The gatekeeping responsibility of the three ancestors of the barbarians is not really just to guard the gate, they are actually a kind of scavengers.

If the number of barbarians could be larger now, a team responsible for patrolling and hunting would definitely be organized among them.

It's just that these things have now been completed by the three ancestors.

Did their consciousness do nothing after they no longer responded to the savage's ancestral call?

They just kept detaching some combat clones to clean up the "garbage" on the Holy Mountain.

Constantine already understood that he seemed destined not to get the answer he wanted from Leoric.

But after going around in circles, he also found a method that was destined to get the answer, but now it seemed that this method also had some difficulties.

Constantine bowed slightly to express his gratitude to Leoric, and then left directly.

At this time, Aidan, who was sitting aside to help Leoric process the documents, took time to look up.

"Father, do you really know nothing about Uldyssian?"

Aidan asked very calmly, as if chatting.

"Leoric knew nothing of Uldyssian's story."

Leoric's answer seemed to give an answer.

Aidan could only let out a long sigh.

Leoric didn’t know the specific story of Uldyssian, but what about Lakith I?

Constantine once again missed an opportunity to get the answer directly, but he still didn't seem to realize it.

Aidan didn't plan to ask further questions because he wasn't interested in them.

Although our current life is immersed in battles, it can be considered that the family can stay together.

This can be regarded as a kind of life they once longed for.

"Father, grandfather, I brought you some wine and food."

Leah's voice came from outside the door.

Aidan, who had lost his ability to fight, had a gentle smile on his face.

Leoric put down the pen and paper in his hand, and then turned his gaze to the door, with a gentle smile on his face.

The movements of the Paladins and Templars in training could still be heard outside the window, and the sounds of war outside the city could still be heard vaguely.

The sunshine outside the window, accompanied by a bit of gunpowder smoke, presented a strangely calm atmosphere.



"So why don't you let us tell him about Orek?"

Talik asked with all his faces squeezed together.

It was not because of this problem that he felt troubled, but because the wine Kahn used to convince them was actually the bitter wine left by Bulquesso.

Although this is also a strong drink, the taste is really unacceptable.

"Orek is part of the final resort, wouldn't it be a good thing for everyone to ignore him? And do you really believe that Constantine just wants to know about Uldyssian's past?"

Kahn said without changing his expression after taking a sip of wine.

"Ourek is a guy who knows his priorities well. What reason would he have to hide something like this at this time?

Even if Constantine wanted to get something else, could he still defeat Orek on the sacred mountain of Harrogas?

Don’t forget, he is the eldest son of the first ancestor!”

Korik grabbed a piece of snow and stuffed it into his mouth.

Guarding the gate of the Holy Mountain is indeed a bit boring to talk about. If this job was not so boring, the three ancestors would not often exist in the form of stone statues.

"Although my previous words had some traces of performance, some of them were sincere."

After Kahn finished speaking, he picked up a piece of roasted and somewhat dry meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

"That part about Maddock, right? In fact, I think so too. If I could, I would rather I made that choice.

Madoc is indeed the best of the three ancestors."

Tarik let out a long sigh as he spoke, and his face became a little gloomier.

When Kahn said these words before, he and Kolik looked unhappy. It was not because Kahn's words "belittled" them, but because Kahn's words were the truth.

Madoc is indeed more important than the two of them.

"So what's wrong with that part of Uldyssian?"

Korik brought the topic back a bit.

"Actually, I didn't lie to Constantine, either Volusk or Leoric could actually give Constantine the answer.

Don’t forget what Leoric’s situation is now.”

Kahn stuffed a piece of snow into his mouth with an expressionless expression, and then put a piece of dried meat into his mouth.

They are indeed dead and do not need food to restore their physical strength.

But there are really few living people on the Holy Mountain of Harrogas, but both SHIELD and Tony sent a large amount of supplies to the Holy Mountain of Harrogas.

The amount of these supplies is enough for 100,000 people to consume for several years.

The three of them also understand that in the worst case scenario, the Holy Mountain of Harrogas will become the last war fortress of mankind.

The supplies here will become very important in that situation.

But they are also sure of one thing. If the war fortress is going to be destroyed, the Holy Mountain of Harrogas will definitely be the first to be destroyed.

After all, this is one of the final means used by the Nephalem to fight against their enemies.

But these supplies will not be wasted. When the time comes, Orek will just stuff them all into the secret realm.

The secret realm is the last pure land that the Nephalem left for themselves, even if it is also a prison.

Orek has stuffed the backup of all the data left by Kahn into the secret realm. In that situation, he can only hope that when Nephalem grows up in the secret realm in the future, he can give birth to a child like Bulkai.

Find such a strong person, and then try again to gain the power to live.

The heirs chosen by the Nephalem are all unique.

So far, only the barbarians have heirs. For example, the monks only have apprentices. Li Min and Rasma also left behind a legacy of knowledge.

The Crusaders are also training young people, but only the barbarians have chosen successors!

The true meaning of the heir is that when everything comes to its worst, among all the Nephalem living in the secret realm, the heir must inherit the responsibilities of these ancestors at this time!

Although only the three ancestors have the most obvious responsibilities among the barbarians, guys like Olongus do not have no responsibilities to bear.

It's just that the responsibilities they bear are not so obvious.

"If Constantine just asks Leoric, he is bound to not get the answer he wants.

Then Leoric will understand what we mean. After all, Constantine who didn't think of the truth can't be said to be smart."

Tarik took another sip of bitter wine and his face shrank into a ball.

"Do you think he'll come back?"

Korik asked.

"If he comes back, he will be somewhere between smart and stupid. I don't know how to judge."

Talik adjusted the position of the legendary token of shame to make himself a little more comfortable.

Although weapons should be kept in a position that can be used at any time, they cannot be kept in the same position for a lifetime.

There is no risk in adjusting your posture a little, especially for these veteran killers who have been through hundreds of battles.

"You may not be able to get the answer when you come back. It would be smarter for him to pester Leoric again than coming back."

After Kahn finished speaking, he clapped his hands and stood up.

His range of perception is wider than the other two guys, and he has already felt the devil's breath.

There should be a battle next, but he was not sure whether it would be a boring cleaning job, or whether he would have to face some powerful demons with strong goals.

There are only two possibilities for the demons he will sense at this time. Anyway, it will definitely not be the demons from the Burning Hell who launched a large-scale invasion of the Holy Mountain of Harrogath. ()
