Chapter 128: Block Secrets (Still working overtime at night...)
The Horadric Cube has actually been lost a long time ago!
Taking apart the Horadric staffs and scattering them into the desert was only the last resort for the Horadric mages.
Because the portal of the Mysterious Sanctuary is actually built on a "beacon gem", it cannot be taken away from its place, nor can it be blocked by conventional means.
In order to ensure that Tarasha's ancient tomb would not be accidentally opened, the Horadrim mages came up with a way.
They split the beacon gem that formed the cornerstone of the portal into two, making it useless under normal conditions, but because it did not move its position, the entrance to the mysterious sanctuary would not completely disappear.
If you want to reopen the portal of the mysterious sanctuary, you must use the power of the Horadrim Cube to reunite the beacon gems into one.
This was originally a second layer of insurance made by the Horadrim mages to protect the mysterious sanctuary that was equivalent to the only entrance to the Tomb of Talasha.
But after the Horadric Cube was lost, this heavy insurance lost its intended effectiveness.
Therefore, in order to prevent someone from repeating the same trick, stealing the Horadric Staff and easily opening the door to the Tomb of Talasha, the Horadrim wizards finally decided to split the staff into two parts and store them separately.
At that time, the mages who were carrying these three components were hiding in the desert. The Horadric Cube in one of their hands was a fake carefully copied by the Horadrim mages. The purpose of this was to give those who tried to open it a
The Hell Cultists who liberated Baal in the Tomb of Talasha increase the difficulty of the operation.
So when Xue Hua said that what he brought back was not the serpentine pattern but the Horadric Cube, Kane's first thought was that Xue Hua had found a fake copied by the Horadrim mages at that time.
There is the scene of checking the blocks later.
However, after careful inspection and verification, Kane discovered that Xue Hua had actually recovered the genuine Horadric Cube, which had been missing for hundreds of years, which he found very incredible.
"In other words, if I don't find the real cube this time, even if the portal of the mysterious shelter is found, there will be no way to open it, right?"
Xue Hua blinked and said that these mages really know how to play...
Didn't they think about how much trouble their behavior would cause to those who wanted to enter the tomb to help if something happened in the ancient tomb?
And facts have proven that their series of insurance measures are really useless. Even if the ancient tomb has been exiled into the gap between illusion and reality, it only prevents the forces of hell from entering the ancient tomb through normal methods.
In the end, Diavolo used the soul induction between the demon gods to come directly to the tomb and successfully released Baal.
And not only the forces of hell can easily enter, but even the archangel Tyrell can directly enter through the connection with the sacred object "soul stone" in heaven.
These insurance measures taken by the Horadrim mages had no effect in the end. Instead, they made it more difficult for future generations of humans to investigate Diavolo's whereabouts at that time.
It is said that at that time, when Diavolo appeared in the ancient tomb, Heaven had warned the Lugoin Kingdom at that time. However, although the Heine royal family at that time wanted to enter the ancient tomb to help, they were unable to do so.
I walked in the door feeling powerless.
In the end, I could only watch as Barr escaped back to hell.
And not only that, because the security of the Talasha Tomb was highly regarded at that time, the Horadrim mages stored many important research materials and most of the training materials for the Horadrim mages.
This led to the fact that after the Horadrim Mages slowly disappeared from history due to various reasons, the professional faction of "Hradrim Mages" also experienced a career gap due to a lack of information and selection and training methods.
This consequence ultimately left this ancient and powerful professional sect with only one successor, Deckard Cain, still alive in the world, and even he was unable to teach due to the lack of previous teaching experience and rigorous materials.
New Horadrim Mage Apprentice.
Xue Hua always felt that this stupid move by the Horadrim mages was entirely a result of digging a big hole for himself, and then pushing himself and his descendants into it...
He didn't say these words, but Kane could already tell what he was thinking from his strange expression.
However, Kane could not argue with this, because facts speak louder than words, and the defensive measures that his predecessors carefully planned at that time have indeed been proven to be useless.
Even a faint move...
Therefore, he could only shake his head with a wry smile, and instead of answering Xue Hua's question, he changed the topic to another aspect.
"Xue, um... maybe this question seems very presumptuous, but I still want to ask, where did you find the Horadric Cube?
You know, the Horadrim mage ancestors searched almost the entire continent to find it..."
No one knows why the Horadric Cube appears in the secret chamber hidden by the Sandworm Queen!
Xue Hua rolled his eyes and cursed secretly in his heart.
However, he could still understand the fact that the Horadrim mages searched the entire continent but could not find the Horadric Cube.
According to the concealment of the modified sandworm queen, if its biological survival instinct had not been activated, forcing it to start feeding from the outside world, even Xue Hua would never have been able to find its location.
Even when the Sandworm Queen was already under the control of the infected, Abathur still couldn't find out where this guy was hiding in the Catman Oasis.
It is also possible that its body is not in this main space at all.
At that time, when the Horadrim mages began to search for the cube, the owner of the Sandworm Queen might not have left there yet.
Under the control of that mysterious being, the Horadrim mages wanted to find the deeply hidden Sandworm Queen, and finding the Horadric Cube would undoubtedly be extremely difficult.
"I found it in a mysterious space that I accidentally discovered. You know, my summons have some unusual um... abilities."
Xue Hua shrugged and answered half-truthfully.
The existence of the Sand Worm Queen involves too many problems. Before figuring out what the mysterious existence is doing, Xue Hua thinks it is better to conceal the matter.
"Hmm... Okay, I understand. All in all, with this bargaining chip in hand, we will be confident that we will continue to suppress Jehein at noon today, so that he will not dare to open the seal of the underground prison at will.
Do you know, Xue, during the review, Zhuo Genan, Farah, and I made a new assessment of the situation in the underground prison of the palace, and found that the problems there were much more serious than we thought before.
I don’t know why, but the number of monsters there seems to be constantly increasing. Now the density of monsters there has reached a terrifying value...
Therefore, we must not take the risk of rashly opening the seal before finding the source of the increase in monsters."
Kane nodded casually, and then said with a worried tone.
Is it still increasing? Why is the number of monsters still increasing? Especially in a sealed space?
Xue Hua frowned a little strangely. He didn't know why, but he always felt that the source of this matter might be beyond his imagination...
"Okay, let's end the chat now. It's almost time. We have to go into the palace to meet with His Majesty the King...
By the way, Xue, are you going to see the king wearing this?"
Farah clapped her hands, interrupting Xue Hua's thoughts, and finally glanced at Xue Hua's clothes with a strange look.
Because he had just finished his trip to the oasis jungle and had not had time to change his clothes after coming back, the equipment on his body was still stained with various "small gifts" from the oasis.
If you wear this outfit to a tavern in the outer city, there will be no problem at all, but if you wear it directly into the palace... I'm afraid it will be very eye-catching.
"Master Farah, please spare me. At least don't let me wear that damn dress robe, okay?"
Xue Hua begged Farah for mercy with a bitter face.
"You definitely won't be able to wear the dress robe. It will take at least an hour to change into it. We don't have that time... But at least you have to change into something more decent, without grass leaves and grass on it.
Mud clothes..."
Farah walked up to him with a smile, pulled out a blade from the gap in the cloth armor on his shoulder with her fingers, then shook her head and asked the attendant to take him to change clothes.
