Chapter 724 Hero's past

   "Oh, what's wrong with you, why don't you say it to make everyone happy?"

Duanmuhuai was carrying the hammer, and looked at the man in front of him with a half-smile. Based on his gaming experience, most of the next steps would be the time to confess to the boss—in fact, many players complained about why every boss had to ask the boss before the battle. The protagonist group revealed their past and mental journey. Obviously we came to kill you, but you actually behaved miserably in front of us?

Of course, players have several opinions about this. One is that heroes cherish heroes. After all, although he is a villain BOSS with countless plans, it is very rare for the protagonist to defeat the BOSS all the way. Words are also normal.

  Of course, this refers to the kind that no one has been able to do before. If a brave man kills the boss every few days, he probably doesn't have the heart to tell stories back and forth.

There is another kind that wants to instigate the protagonist. After all, these bosses are basically a routine. They belong to the kind of people who have a miserable life experience, and they may be betrayed and blackened. Then they talk about these things because they are emotionally moved and justified. , Tell the protagonist that those guys could treat me like this yesterday, and they might treat you like this today. Rather than being killed by them, why not rule the world with me?

  Hmm... how should I put it, recalling the ending of the hero in Luminas, Duanmuhuai really can't say it was wrong.

   After all, heroic epics are just epics. After the demon king is defeated, life will continue. However, how heroes who have gained prestige and strength in this war will get along with the ruling class is indeed a problem.

  If you have a bit of political wisdom, you may be able to get a title or return to your hometown to get a fief.

   If you don't have any wisdom, you might be caught by the opponent's cunning lackeys.

That's why Duanmuhuai said that Luo Qixi was stupid at the beginning, how can the hero of Neverwinter be so easy to be, Emilia is because she is Tyre's divine knight, as long as Tyre still takes care of her, then Neverwinter You can't do anything to her and the Temple of Tyre, she can be regarded as the kind with someone on her head anyway. But you, Luo Qixi, are just a down-and-out warlock with no place to stay. If you want to learn from Kasim and the two of you, you can get some rewards and wander around the world. .

   Really think it’s easy to be a hero?

Of course, this kind of pre-war nonsense is generally useless, especially for players, it is a waste of time. In their eyes, the value of the boss is only to drop it. Hurry up and kill you. Good equipment is almost the same, whoever has time to chat with you, just skip it.

  In normal times, Duanmuhuai would just skip directly, but this time he wants to listen patiently to the other party's journey. After all, Duanmuhuai is really curious, if this guy is the mastermind behind all this, how did he create untouchables and brainwash them to be so fanatical and obedient?

   After all, the boss could talk about everything before the war. Maybe someone said HIGH and said it out of the way?

   "Hmph, since you want to know, then I'll tell you!"

   Sure enough, this BOSS can't escape the law of the final confession, I saw that he also talked about his past to Duanmu Huai proudly.

He was originally from a small town outside Neverwinter. He lost his parents when he was young and was raised by his adoptive father. However, when he was sixteen years old, the town in his hometown was attacked by a group of monsters. destroy. But his adoptive father said that this was related to a secret they hid here. He took out a fragment and asked the young man to leave the town with the fragment and go to Neverwinter for help.

He also met several companions on the road, and was attacked again, and then he discovered that these people attacked him for these fragments, and these fragments came from a Gith silver sword, which was a few years ago. A certain mage snatched it from the githyanki some time ago in order to deal with the Lord of Shadows who was trying to conquer the world. Later, the Shadow King and the mage disappeared at the same time, and the silver sword also became fragments and shattered.

   And now the githyanki are here to retrieve the fragments of the sword.

To be honest, although Duanmu Huai doesn't like the githyanki very much, he thinks this logic is really weird. It's something that belongs to them, but you took it away. It's normal for the githyanki to come and get it back. Just hand over the pieces and you'll be fine. As a result, people have to be devastated——Of course, this is not the case with this young man. Even if there is a reason for the githyanki personnel, but they destroyed their homeland, it is certainly impossible for this young man to say "ah, no Excuse me" and then return the fragments to the other party and it's over.

So his next journey became a legendary heroic adventure story, fighting with githyankis, and also fighting with shadow priests who came out of nowhere—it was later learned that those shadow priests were all They are servants of the King of Shadows. This Ghis silver sword once defeated the King of Shadows. Of course, they don't want to see this sword appear again, so they also come to grab the silver sword fragments.

  This young man is quite the protagonist, no matter who comes, he always refuses to give it!

It was the same next time. Not only did he defeat the incoming enemies, but he also won the title of knight of Neverwinter and owned a fortress. Lord Nasher also hoped that he could manage the fortress and help the Shadow King's army return to the world. Prepare.

  Hearing this, Duanmuhuai couldn't help but want to laugh, so you see, ordinary people get involved in this kind of politics is the end of being used. For Lord Nasher, this young man is a useful thug, and he will give the fortress to him. After all, it was originally a piece of junk that was taken back from the rebels, and he has to spend his own money to repair it. Winterfell pays. When the shadow army comes over, it will be this fortress that will be the first to suffer, not Neverwinter...

  Therefore, there is a reason why most heroes pat their buttocks and slip away after accomplishing earth-shattering feats. No matter how much the local people respect you, this kind of respect cannot be eaten. And the person in charge of a territory will always be the local lord. Are you a hero?

   So what if you save the world?

In fact, the reason is very simple. Just look at the lords of these cities in the North. Nasher of Neverwinter, Kelben Blackrod of Waterdeep, and Alustriel of Silvermoon are all famous An adventurer, but also a leader in his own city.

   In other words, if they didn't have the final say in this city, they definitely wouldn't stay here.

   Old hooligans like 12345 are also hiding in their own mage tower in the mountains, and they don’t go out on weekdays.

  Therefore, after becoming famous, many heroes either create their own forces, or create their own cities, or create their own organizations, all for this reason. No one wants to let others control their own destiny, and this young man obviously belongs to the kind with relatively low political wisdom. He nodded and ran away after the other party said a few words.

  If it were Duanmuhuai, let alone one fortress, ten fortresses would not agree.

  Isn’t it good to be the fire captain? If you insist on staying in one place to operate, sometimes others will use your people to disgust you. Are you nodding? Or nod?

  If it weren't for knowing that Faerun would be the next front line against the erosion of Chaos God, Duanmuhuai wouldn't be bothered to manage any territory here. This is one of the reasons why the relationship between the Inquisition Chamber and other forces is very cold, and the entry of others is strictly restricted.

   After all, the Judgment Chamber itself is fighting against the Chaos God. In order to fight the Chaos God, they will do slaughter and clean up when necessary. If the relationship with these forces is too good, it will be very troublesome for them to come up and complain. It's better to just put on a face that I'm just like this, and there will be no trouble.

  Just like in martial arts novels, people only dare to seek explanations from Shaolin Temple or Wuyue Sword Sect, which are righteous sects. Who would dare to seek trouble from evil sects?

   Isn't that boring.

Although there are many people who have a lot of complaints about the Night Guards who say "resistance or hostile behavior to the Inquisition", almost everyone is obedient in front of the Night Guards. It can be seen that killing chickens to scare monkeys really useful.

  Okay, off topic, pull back.

As a "hero", this young man has indeed done his duty. He defeated the army of the revived Shadow King, and reforged the Gith Silver Sword, intending to find the Shadow King's lair, once and for all. kill it.

  In fact, as a "hero", he did find the shadow king's lair.

  However, what happened next is somewhat interesting.

   "They betrayed me..."

   Speaking of this, the tone of the man in black armor also became cold. "In the end, we defeated all obstacles and came before the Shadow King, but they, those traitors who took risks with me, shared joys and sorrows, and called themselves companions, betrayed me under the rhetoric of the Shadow King! They chose to side with the Shadow King! Can you understand? This behavior!"

"Well………"

   Facing the angry man, Duanmu Huai and everyone looked at each other.

   I have to say that Duanmuhuai really can't understand this kind of behavior of surrendering to the enemy face to face.

  If you want to say that you have a different heart for a long time, and you have already discussed with the other party that you will betray on the battlefield, this is still understandable. But you have come to the end, but you betrayed on the spot, which makes Duanmu Huai a little... incomprehensible.

  To be honest, this kind of surrender on the spot really has no status, even the boss will not like them. The reason is very simple, you can betray others because of my talk today, so what if someone tells you to betray me again?

  It's really degrading to turn your back on the battlefield.

  The fact is the same. Although the man almost became a loner in the end, as a "hero", the anger of being betrayed made him directly wave the Gith silver sword and kill those betrayers and the shadow king. However, the shadow king also comprehended the unified signature skills of all bosses before he died, and blew himself up.

   As a result, the man himself was involved in the self-explosion and was buried in the collapsed underground palace.

   But it's not over yet.

  After the man woke up, he found that his body had changed. His chest lost the last piece of the Gith silver sword that was originally inserted there. Not only that, but he also had a strange sense of hunger and thirst. At first the man didn't know what it was, but later he discovered that he had a brand new ability.

  An ability to devour the souls of others!

"Um?"

  Hearing this, Duanmuhuai narrowed his eyes, he felt that the drama was coming.

  That's right, the man found that he now has a very strange sense of hunger and thirst, just like a vampire, except that a vampire **** blood, and he needs to devour other souls to satisfy this hunger and thirst!

  So in order to find out what happened to his body, the man embarked on an adventure again.

  Wait, some people may ask after hearing this, isn’t he already the ruler of a fortress, why did he set out on the journey alone?

  Well, it's funny to say it. After that, the man also thought about going back to Neverwinter to ask for help. But when he went back, he found that the fortress that originally belonged to him had been "nationalized" again, and he was also regarded as a dead man who died in battle with the King of Shadows!

  In addition to building a statue for him, Neverwinter left nothing for him!

   "Can you imagine? My anger!"

   Having said this, the man roared more and more, perhaps because he recalled everything back then, and now he was even more angry.

"When I returned to the homeland I fought so hard to protect, it no longer belonged to me! Not only that, but they also adapted my story, my legend without authorization, saying that I was fighting with my companions against the Shadow Land. King! This is nonsense! Those **** bastards! They even built a mausoleum for those traitors, those liars! I gave everything for them, but in the end, all they left me was lies!"

   This matter naturally made the man very angry, and he also gave up the idea of ​​asking Neverwinter for help. Originally, he was already a bit blackened after experiencing the face-to-face betrayal of his companions. Seeing everything in front of him now, the man of course included Neverwinter in his range of enemies.

   As a result, the hero is worthy of being a hero. In the end, the man found out all this. It turned out that the hunger in his body was related to a curse from Jaeger, the **** of death!

   Jaeger...

  Hearing this name, Duanmuhuai twitched the corner of his mouth.

  In the world of Faerun, gods compete for hegemony, come and go, ups and downs, but if you want to say that the most stubborn **** is none other than Jaeger.

  This is an ancient **** of death with powerful divine power, and he has been in charge of the **** of death since the time of Netheril.

   However, unlike most other gods who are basically killed and then taken from their priesthood, Jaeger is voluntarily retired.

That's right, he felt that he had stayed in this position for too long, so he retired voluntarily, and then gave up most of his priesthood to Bane, Baal and Melkor, and he transformed himself into a servant, serving every A **** of death!

As an ordinary person, I am afraid that I don't understand why Jaeger did this at all. He is the oldest **** of death and a **** with powerful divine power. It is very incomprehensible to retire completely and become a servant instead.

  It's like a department manager who gave up his position to others, and ended up concentrating on becoming a department staff member. Who knows what he is thinking.

  However, according to the player's investigation, this old boy is actually not honest at all.

   On the surface, he seems to be conscientious, but as long as the **** in charge of the **** of death cannot satisfy him, he will find a way to do things secretly, kill this guy, and then replace him with a successor.

For example, Melkor took over the position of Jaeger the God of Death, and then he was killed in Waterdeep City in the Battle of the Saints, and then Cyric took over this position, but Cyric is a crazy idiot, Jaeger saw that this mental retardation was not good enough, so he secretly planned a rebellion, let Kailanvor overthrow Cyric, and changed the latter's priesthood of the **** of death to Kailanvor.

  So you see, the **** of death is back and forth, and Jaeger is as steady as an old dog, and you can tell who is more honest.

  However, it was this stable old dog that gave this hero an unimaginable curse of hunger and thirst.
