On the top of the Holy Mountain of Arreat, at the entrance to the World Knowledge Fortress, an orange portal suddenly appeared here. Linton led the way and was the first to walk out of the teleportation array, followed closely by Aizen and others.
people.
As mentioned before, Linton can already see the location of the Holy Mountain of Arreat. Naturally, a portal opens directly to the top of the mountain. There is no need to go through any crystal passages, frozen rivers, ancestral roads, etc.
All the way up the mountain road.
Although Anya kindly told Linton the route up here, Linton didn't listen at all. Before he could finish speaking, he had already opened the portal.
"Wait!" Just when Linton was about to close the portal, a figure suddenly jumped over. Linton was also stunned for a moment, and almost cut the person inadvertently.
"Hey, what are you making a fuss about? You almost died, you know?" Linton said, because when the teleportation array is closed, it will really cut people in half. To be honest, Linton really doesn't know all this.
What will happen if you use time to look back after it is split in half? If the combination of time and space intersects with each other, it is not surprising that some strange situations will occur.
"I also want to help fight against Barr and save our homeland!" The person who followed was naturally Anya. The other party also held two one-handed axes, and it was obvious that he and Linton were really preparing to fight Barr.
The former traitor Neela Secklington didn't have much interest in continuing to play with him. After all, the other party had been frightened to death by Linton. When he saw Linton, he was already submissive and could not say a word. This is nothing.
Linton naturally handed it over to Anya next to him. After all, he was a traitor to their barbarian tribe.
Then Linton naturally came to find Barr, but unexpectedly Anya suddenly followed him at this time.
"Nilasek has been imprisoned, and he will be tried by the new tribal council later." Anya said, "The demon army on the Harrogas side has been completely cleared, and the rescue work there has also been completed.
Someone will deal with it, and what is more important now is Baal's side. He has entered the World Stone Fortress, and if he is not stopped, the world will be shrouded in darkness and despair," Anya said.
"What you said is good, and you also know how to grasp the main contradiction. But the problem is that even if you follow me, you won't be of much help." Linton said, "Forget it, I will follow you anyway, so just call 666 from behind.
That’s fine, don’t do it a disservice, you know?”
"Excuse me, what does 666 mean?" Anya asked seriously.
"Just keep shouting, our Nephalem's secret words." Linton said. It must be said that this world is really convenient. Anyway, anything that cannot be explained can be done to the Nephalem.
"I... understand." Anya nodded. Although she didn't understand, she didn't continue to ask.
"There is something wrong with this statue." Aizen's voice suddenly came from the side. Linton turned his head and found that Aizen was studying the three statues in front of them.
At this time, they were located at the top of the Holy Mountain of Arreat, which can be said to be the highest point of this sanctuary. It was surrounded by a vast expanse of white, and all they could see from the top of the mountain were the scenery of snow-capped mountains, and the temperature was also very low, so they could
It's the kind of temperature that makes the air conditioner blow out.
However, although there is snow all around, the place in front of me that looks like a small square is an exception. This place is a small platform. It is said to be a square, and it seems more like a gladiatorial arena.
Directly in front of them was a road, on the other side of the arena, and there was obviously a gate sealed by a stone gate. This gate didn't look very gorgeous, it looked more like some ancient
entrance to ruins.
On the platform outside the entrance, there are three statues that Aizen mentioned. These three statues are all human statues. They can be said to be lifelike. They don't look like they were carved, but directly
It's like a person turned into stone.
The three of them were obviously dressed as barbarians. They were all muscular men, holding three weapons respectively. One was a sword and shield, one was dual-wielding long swords, and the other was holding a long-handled hook. And the three
In the middle of the statue is a stone platform, which looks like a podium or an altar.
Aizen said that these three statues were strange, and Linton was not surprised. These three statues are really alive. Aizen must have discovered that there are fluctuations such as souls or spirit children on these statues, and he is not too sure.
He knows how spiritual power is used in this world. Although he also has spiritual power, because of the system, he does not have to undergo any transformations or the like, and he has no time to study these. As long as he can use it, he is not like Aizen.
Research why it works.
"These are the three ancestors of our barbarian tribe." Anya here stepped forward and said. Judging from her frown, she was probably dissatisfied with Aizen's actions in studying these statues. According to the current metaphor, someone was probably there.
Studying the font of the words carved on your family's ancestral graves is really not comfortable.
However, Anya still did not speak to stop Aizen, but continued: "If you want to enter the World Stone Fortress, you must pass the test of our ancestors. The natural mission of our barbarian clan is to guard the sacred mountain of Arreat.
The World Stone does not allow anyone to get close to the World Stone, so even if Baal has entered the fortress and we are going to stop them, it is estimated that the ancestors will not allow us to enter unless we pass the trial."
"I know, can you drive this?" Linton asked.
"Yes, I will." Anya nodded.
"It's really useful." Linton nodded. He didn't want to take her with him at first, but now he found that taking a local tour guide seemed good, "Then let's go."
"I understand, but these three ancestors are all extremely powerful beings..." Anya said, which should be regarded as a reminder.
"I think it would be interesting if Bulcasso came in person." Linton waved his hand and said. Yes, he really wanted to have a fight with Bulcasso, because this true ancestor of the barbarians is indeed a bit awesome, but it's a pity.
He was long gone. Although the three barbarians in front of him were all ancestors of barbarians and brave warriors, they were still incomparable to Bulcaisso.
If I remember correctly, the names of these three people are Talik, Kolik, and Madok. All three of them were barbarian kings or tribal chiefs. When they reached a certain age, they were summoned by the Holy Mountain to make statues here.
Linton didn't understand why someone would take the initiative to become a statue, but for the barbarians, this was the highest honor, so Anya showed such reverence.
"Let's go," Linton said.
Anya was really just reminding her that Baldu had already entered the fortress and there was no time to waste. She also quickly walked to the sky altar in the middle, pressed her hands on the altar, and began to mutter something that she could not hear.
Come with the words you understand.
After a while, a ray of light lit up from the altar, and then golden light shot towards the three surrounding statues. The three statues seemed to be activated instantly, and soon they also emitted golden light in response. And with the intense golden light, the three statues began to
Change, after a while, the statue turned into three living people and began to move.
"We are the souls of the Nephalem, ancient warriors." The statue in the middle said. If I remember correctly, he should be the one named Korik. The other two did not take the initiative to speak.
"Praise you, the great King Korik, my ancestor." Anya here knelt down and said directly.
"You just want to enter the fortress? Yes, a descendant of the barbarians, I like your courage." Korik said, "But why do you want to violate the ancestral precepts of the barbarians?"
"The Great Demon Baal wants to seize the World Stone, and because of the appearance of the traitor, he has obtained the ancient relics and entered the fortress. I must stop him." Anya said.
"Baal, Lord of Destruction? Indeed, I have already felt the power of darkness in the fortress." Korik nodded, "But you still can't pass here easily. If you can't defeat us, you haven't fought against the darkness at all.
The power of the World Stone. Few are qualified to stand before the World Stone; few can understand its true value. Before you enter, defeat us first."
Obviously this doesn't make sense. Sure enough, the trial still cannot be passed through negotiation. Anya doesn't know what to do. Although she is very brave, she doesn't think she can be the opponent of the three ancestral heroes. Of course, here
At that time, the main protagonist Linton also entered the arena.
"This one is helping to recite the incantation, and I am here to participate in the trial." Linton said directly, "I am under Linton, Nephalem."
"Nephalem?" Korik looked at Linton in surprise, and the two silent people next to him also turned their heads.
"We are all Nephalem, so there is no need to talk nonsense." Linton said, "But you don't even have a gun now, and your fighting power is too weak, so it won't be a happy fight."
"I didn't expect that there are still awakened nephalems now." Korik said, "It seems that you are the hero who will save this world crisis. Linton? I will remember this name."
"Come on, everyone." Linton spread his hands and made a direct greeting gesture.
"I'm on!" Talik, the barbarian holding a sword and shield next to him, said as he suddenly jumped up and slashed towards Linton with a jump slash. It was true that he didn't say any nonsense and just went ahead.
Let’s talk about it later.
There was a "clang" sound, and Linton did not dodge at all. He raised his wrist to block the jump attack. Because he was completely blocked by his body, Tarik was slightly stunned by the jump attack here.
However, he couldn't help but think too much, and the next moment he attacked him with his backhand and right hand. Tarik relied on his combat experience to instantly raise his shield to defend. However, with a loud noise, the shield here exploded, and Tarik flew to the side like a cannonball.
