Chapter 76 The Messenger
"To Lugaoin?" Lan Wu blinked and looked at Akara suspiciously.
He remembered clearly that the Rogue Camp had sent out envoys. And from the information he got from various sources, it seemed that the envoy was still staying in Lugaoin, and he was obviously looking for an opportunity to ask Jhein for reinforcements again.
"We have considered it for a long time, and we all think that you are the best candidate to go to Lugaoin." Akara smiled.
"Well..." Lan Wu hesitated and did not accept the mission readily, contrary to his usual behavior.
In his original plan, Lugaoin's forces were indispensable as the main force to contain the Dark Raven. However, he could not rush to get the acceptance of Lugaoin. He originally planned to use dark gold equipment, such as the Ash of the Root of Misfortune, and the ring of Nage, to attract Gross's attention again, so that this big man who could directly contact Jhein could persuade Jhein to send professionals to assist the Rogue Camp.
What people seek is nothing more than fame and fortune.
Fame, this point is not very effective at present. But profit is what everyone has been pursuing since ancient times. The reason why Lu Gaoyin suppressed the Rogue Camp was to strengthen itself and to attack the strength of its competitors.
The first reason is not difficult to understand. The successive generations of Jehain were ambitious and committed to strengthening the power of Lu Gaoyin. They did it very successfully. The Rogue Camp was gradually declining. Lu Gaoyin had accumulated strength and was faintly challenging the Kurast Harbor.
The second reason seemed a bit cautious. As a pursuer, Lu Gaoyin was very self-aware. As the weakest of the five settlements, the Rogue Camp still had the possibility of rising. Therefore, Lu Gaoyin never relaxed his vigilance and strictly guarded against the rise of the Rogue Camp.
The two major reasons were for the interests of Lu Gaoyin.
At present, the Rogue Camp was threatened by the mutant fallen army of Bishuboshu. Lu Gaoyin said that this was just a deliberate exaggeration by the Rogue Camp. This kind of statement on the surface can only deceive children. It is impossible that the successive generations of Jehain did not insert nails into the Rogue Camp and buried spies. Lan Wu even believed that even Akara's underwear, which she changed several times a day, was already on Jerhain's desk.
Lan Wu believed that as long as one or two more dark gold equipment appeared, Lu Gaoyin would take the initiative to come forward and try to get a share of it without having to do it himself. Going further, when the civilians in the camp began to migrate to Tristram, Lu Gaoyin would definitely get the truth through scouts. At that time, they would definitely be more proactive and try to join this feast. At this time, the Rogue Camp could take the initiative and use Tristram as a bargaining chip to get more assistance.
Once the assistance of the two forces of Dark Raven and Lu Gaoyin was obtained, the Rogue Camp would naturally be invincible, easily resolve this disaster, and earn the greatest benefits. Lan Wu had even thought about what kind of benefits would be most appropriate.
Ancient magic knowledge and land ownership.
The importance of ancient magic knowledge, Lan Wu believed that even if he didn't mention it, Akara and others would not be unaware of the importance of these things. At present, the coordinates of Tristram's teleportation array are still in hand, so we can secretly plunder the most valuable part before the big shots who can make the decision from the Dark Raven arrive.
Of course, it is impossible to take it all by ourselves.
After eating the meat, we must leave some soup for others. Lan Wu believes that Akara and others are better than him in this principle and grasp it more accurately. It will not cause dissatisfaction between the Dark Raven and Lu Gaoyin, and it can also ensure the maximum interests of the Rogue Camp.
In addition to the precious ancient magic knowledge, another important point is land.
Coming from the earth in the 21st century to this world similar to the European Middle Ages, how could Lan Wu not know that land is the key, and everything else can be regarded as clouds.
Tristram is a sealed land, isolated from the world. Occupying this place, there is no need to worry about the safety of civilians from now on. Without the threat of demons, civilians live and work in peace, and population growth will skyrocket like a rocket. With a large population base, the probability of professionals appearing will naturally increase. With the increase in the number of professionals, the strength of the Rogue Camp will naturally grow rapidly.
When the strength of the Rogue Camp expands to a certain extent, Lan Wu will not be surprised even if the civilians of several large gathering places such as Kurast Harbor migrate here on their own initiative, let alone Lugaoin.
After all, civilians desire a stable life, not to give up everything to resist the devil.
Akara and others asked to go to Lugaoin again. Lan Wu knew that these adults were worried that Lugaoin's reinforcements would arrive before Bishuboshu besieged the Rogue Camp. But in this way, the initiative fell to Lugaoin.
Giving the initiative to the other party in the negotiation would hurt the interests of the Rogue Camp too much.
After careful consideration, Lan Wu simply told all his plans and the possible consequences of going to Lugaoin now. At the end, he solemnly reminded: "The most important thing in the negotiation is to take the initiative. Letting Lugaoin take the initiative will inevitably take the opportunity to ask for more benefits. This is absolutely not in the interests of the camp."
"That's why you need to go to Lugaoin in person." Akara still smiled.
Sister, you really think highly of me.
Lan Wu rolled his eyes and fell silent. He carefully considered the current situation, trying to see the true intentions of Akara and the other bigwigs.
"We don't have that much time to plan slowly." Kane saw Lan Wu's concerns and took the initiative to tell the truth: "You should remember Lakanishu. After detailed research, I found the conspiracy that the demons are planning. They are planning to repair the World Stone."
"World Stone?" Lan Wu was stunned, and didn't understand how this was related to the World Stone.
"Four thousand years ago, the heroes of mankind broke through the World Stone Fortress and defeated the great demon Baal. Archangel Tyrael took the opportunity to destroy the World Stone. But he failed. The World Stone was only destroyed into three pieces. The smallest piece of the World Stone formed the human world. If the World Stone is repaired, the three worlds can be reunited to form the original world. At that time, the three great demons will completely rule the world. The evil power will make humans completely lost and become tools of the devil."
Kane talked slowly and explained to Lan Wu concisely. Lan Wu bowed his head and said nothing, but gradually understood in his heart. No wonder humans defeated the three great demons thousands of years ago, but were still suppressed by the demons and almost exterminated. It turns out that the original dark world was divided into three parts, dividing the evil power of the devil. This allowed humans to survive. If you think about it carefully, this also explains why the devil did not kill them all, allowing humans to survive the initial darkness and usher in a little dawn.
"What does this have to do with my mission to Lu Gaoyin?" Lan Wu remained calm and continued to play dumb.
"Because you are a god-given, a descendant of the sacred Horadrim." Akara took over the conversation with a solemn expression.
"Repairing the World Stone requires the blood of the gods. The prophet of the Horadrim foresaw the future of the Horadrim, so he chose to retire after sealing the demon Diablo, and never appeared in front of humans again."
Cain said with regret: "Dicka Cain is the last descendant of the Horadrim to appear in front of humans. Although I inherited his title, I am not a real Horadrim after all. It was not until I heard from Virgil about the reaction of Rakanishu when he appeared that I realized that they need your blood to repair the World Stone."
Lan Wu was silent for a long time, feeling very uncomfortable. He finally knew the real purpose of Akara and others. It turned out that he had become a disaster star, and he would attract the attention of demons wherever he went. Instead of staying in the wind and rain Rogue Camp, it is better to go to Lugain to harm Jehain.
Thinking about it, Lan Wu felt that the decision of Akara and others could not be said to be incorrect. Since he has become a disaster, it is better to harm Lugain than to harm Rogue Camp. Before the relocation is completed, the camp can't afford a bigger impact.
"Okay, I'll go to Lugaoin as an envoy." Lan Wu readily agreed.
Lan Wu readily agreed, which made Akara and others feel a little embarrassed. After all, this decision was not a good thing. Everyone saw the earth-shaking changes in the camp, all of which were brought about by this God-given. But in the blink of an eye, he drove people out like a plague god, which really meant crossing the river and destroying the bridge.
"Actually, this is a good thing." Cain blushed and explained hesitantly: "Lugaoin was once a pearl in the Alaloc Desert and a city with a glorious history. I found out from an ancient scroll that Nifl, the greatest alchemist of the Horadrim clan, once studied the teleportation array there. If I'm not mistaken, there must be a town teleportation book in his ruins."
Lan Wu's eyes lit up. It turned out that the town teleportation book actually went to Lugaoin. The Book of Identification is already in hand, and this town teleportation book must be obtained. He no longer doubted the effect of this ancient magic prop.
"How to find the remains of Nifl?" Lan Wu stared at Kane closely, his eyes burning, not hiding his inner desire.
Seeing the desire in Lan Wu's eyes, Kane and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He explained in a relaxed mood: "The scroll does not record the location of Nifl's remains. But there is a person, oh, there should be a demon who can definitely find clues there."
"Rodament." Kane said a name very confidently.
"Oh." Lan Wu's reaction was flat.
He knew this demon. Rodament was the final boss of the first mission of the second act. He vaguely remembered that this little boss was also a member of the Horadrim tribe, and was later mummified by the demon and joined the ranks of the demons. But he didn't expect that this world would actually connect it with the Town Teleport Book.
Seeing that Lan Wu had no intention of caring, Akara shouted to the outside of the tent: "Come in."
As soon as the voice fell, Avila and the other two walked out of the tent. Lan Wu was happy to see them walk into the tent. It turns out that Akara sent the three of them to be his bodyguards again.
Lan Wu didn't care. He smiled and gestured to Avila and the others, then walked to Qiasi, took out the book of magic forging and handed it to her: "Lord Qiasi, I need a little help from you."
...
Five days later, Akara and other leaders of the Rogue Camp watched Lan Wu and his party disappear in the teleportation array, and looked at each other. Everyone saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.
What should be concealed should be concealed from this God's grace.
