Chapter 359: Rune Knowledge Sage Cain

Richard brought Flavius ​​to the teleportation array, and as soon as they arrived here, a large number of demons and zombies immediately rushed towards them.

Flavius ​​raised the Thunderfury and kept pulling the bowstring. The bowstring was rapidly vibrating. Flavius's arm was so fast that phantoms seemed to appear one after another, and countless magic arrows shot out like rain.

At the same time, chain lightning, ice storms, and charged bullets were constantly triggered. For a moment, the three types of magic continued to appear within a radius of 100 meters. The originally densely packed demons and zombies were cleared out in a few breaths.

No matter whether it is mutant beasts, fallen demons, bat monsters, skeleton zombies, or blade demons, none of them can resist.

Hundreds of monsters died, and a large amount of money, equipment, potions, and other items were automatically picked up by the belt. Richard looked around, this was a ruined city of death. As a country of the once prosperous Kingdom of Khanduras with more than 100,000 people living here, it has become a paradise for demons.

More than 100,000 people died here, and the remaining tall and majestic buildings show how glorious this place once was.

Deckard Cain leaned against the iron cage, looking at everything in front of him in pain. He knew that everything here was done by Diablo, the Lord of Terror, one of the three demon gods of hell.

The former Zakarum Church was where Diablo was imprisoned. His ancestors, the Horadric mages, imprisoned Diablo here and built a church, but as time went by, the Horadric mages who thought everything was fine left one after another.

The remaining Horadrim mages gradually grew old, and the newly grown mages had no idea what they were facing. They gradually became lazy and unwilling to stay here for the rest of their lives.

After hundreds of years of peace in the abandoned church, Diablo finally broke the seal, used his power to corrupt the archbishop, and successfully broke the seal.

In the end, this place was captured and occupied by countless demons, and only Deckard Cain was locked up by the demons and still alive.

Those demons wanted to get the information from him, but unfortunately, as an old man with one foot in the coffin, he was not afraid of their threats and torture. He was ready to take these things into the coffin.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

"Boom!"

Just as Kane was leaning against an iron cage waiting to die, a bunch of magic arrows suddenly flew over. Each of these magic arrows could kill an enemy and also trigger a powerful spell attack.

The demons guarding him were killed in the blink of an eye, without even a chance to resist.

Where did this strong man come from? Kane looked at everything in front of him in surprise. At this moment, a sturdy figure appeared in the square. With the help of the firelight, Kane found that it was actually a Rogue warrior.

When did Rogue become so powerful?

As Rogue appeared, the demons, zombies, and skeletons in the square rushed towards her. Some demons farther away also discovered her, and the demon leader who had been in charge of interrogating him also rushed over with a large group of demons to kill Rogue.

Next, Kane saw a scene that he would remember for the rest of his life.

I saw the Rogue warrior waving his bow and arrow quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen magic arrows flew out, and various magics continued to appear, instantly covering all the demons here.

Flame, lightning and ice, the three forces appeared one after another. Even the demon leader could not last more than a few rounds and turned directly into a pile of corpses.

Kane only came to his senses when the cage holding him was lowered.

"Thank you for saving me, powerful hero!" Kane said respectfully.

"Are you Deckard Cain, the last successor of the Horadrim school of magic?" Richard asked.

"My name is Deckard Cain. I haven't asked the hero your name yet?" Cain said.

"Just call me Richard." Richard looked at the disheveled old man in front of him, then waved his hand gently. A natural light rose up, and Kane felt that his body was wrapped in a gentle force. The painful areas were disappearing quickly, and his body was like a dry land that suddenly received rain, and it absorbed the energy hungrily.

A feeling of comfort that he had not felt for a long time enveloped him.

"how do you feel?"

"It's very comfortable, like being reborn," Kane said.

"Can you tell me where the books containing magical knowledge are in this city?" Richard asked.

"Of course!" Kane said, "But do you have anyone else coming? After all, there are still a lot of monsters in this city."

"Just the two of us." Richard said.

"Indeed, with the attack method just now, no demon here can stop it." Kane said.

"The books you want are kept in the library of the palace, and there are also some in the Zakarum Church."

Richard took Kahn to the library of the palace. Along the way, Richard did not attack at all. Only Flavi was attacking. However, no matter whether it was a demon or a goat-headed demon, no one could withstand an arrow from her. This was also the case when a demon leader appeared occasionally.

All enemies were annihilated by the bow surrounded by the power of thunder.

Along the way, no demon could stop them, and corpses were left everywhere they passed. Kane suspected that they had wiped out all the demons in the city.

Almost every attack with that bow would bring about chain lightning, ice storm, fire storm and charged bullet attacks, which simply made no sense.

All the demons were killed, and the group soon arrived at the library of the palace. Although many places were stained with blood, collapsed or burned into ruins, the library was still largely intact.

But this place has also become messy, many bookshelves have collapsed, and a large number of books are scattered all over the floor.

"A lot of magical knowledge of the royal family is preserved here, what a pity," Kane said somewhat sadly.

Richard waved his hand lightly, and the books around him were immediately put into his private space. Then Richard quickly walked around the library, and tens of thousands of books and scrolls in the library were all cleared out.

Many of these books are not about magical knowledge, but books on literature, history or other subjects. Richard will select them again after returning.

Soon all the books were taken away, and the huge library seemed empty.

Richard did not leave, but asked his personal tower spirit system to scan the surroundings. Sure enough, after the tower spirit scanned over, it immediately discovered that there was actually a secret room here. Richard came to a wall and cast the spell [Open the mechanism].

The wall lamp on the wall suddenly turned a few times, a harsh friction sound was heard, and a crack appeared on the wall.

A staircase appeared in front of us.

Richard took the lead and walked down. The stairs were short and it took about a minute to reach the end. After turning the corner, a room appeared in front of him.

"When did the library have such a room?" Kane said in surprise.

"Look at the dust here, it's at least a hundred years old."

Richard waved his hand gently, and a gust of wind blew away the dust in the room. The room was not big, only about 50 square meters, and looked like a laboratory.

There were a lot of bottles and jars in the laboratory, but all the containers had dried up, leaving only some black powder. It was obvious that all the potions had been scrapped.

On the other side of the lab table were a large number of books. Richard flipped through them casually. The books recorded a lot of potion knowledge and experimental logs. There was also a magic circle drawn next to it.

Inside the magic circle was a corpse that had long since turned into a skeleton.

After briefly looking through the experimental log, Richard quickly understood what had happened. The skeleton in front of him was the owner of this laboratory, and he actually wanted to seize the power of the devil.

The wizard wanted to gain the power of the devil and make himself immortal. This wizard was really bold and daring, but he failed in the end. Not only did he fail, but he also lost his life.

However, his experiment is not without merit.

In this sanctuary world, the demons do not come in their original form, so dying here will only weaken them for a period of time, and they will be resurrected in hell.

It is very difficult to seize the power of the devil in this world.

After Richard finished collecting the information here, he left the basement, and then they went to the Zakarum Church.

The Zakarum Church is outside of Tristram. Before Tristram was rebuilt, it had been abandoned for many years and became a cemetery with many graves buried here.

In order to reduce the chances of this place being discovered, the Horadrim mages deliberately abandoned this place, hoping that people would forget about it, but unfortunately, the demons already knew what they were going to do.

They seduced the Archbishop, rebuilt the place, and then released Diablo without anyone knowing.

When Richard and his companions arrived here, the entire Zakarum Church was shrouded in a powerful evil force. Even though Diablo had been away for a long time, his power still remained.

This evil force turned the entire cemetery into an evil place, and the long-dead people resurrected as undead on this land. Entering the church, a large number of zombies, skeletons and demons attacked the three people.

Flavi's magic arrows were shot out quickly, and in an instant, several spells broke out, and there were casualties all around.

Demons and undead fell in droves, but more demons kept rushing over. But they were wiped out in the blink of an eye. After about a quarter of an hour, there were no more demons and undead, and the three of them entered the church.

Feeling the evil energy surrounding him, Richard frowned slightly, and a golden staff appeared in his hand. Then, Richard was seen smashing the ground with the staff. In an instant, powerful elemental power burst out from him.

This elemental force quickly expanded in all directions. Wherever it passed, the evil force that had been shrouding the church was instantly defeated and dissipated after encountering this elemental force. In just a moment, the dark force that had been shrouding the church was forcibly purified.

Kane, who witnessed all this, almost popped his eyes out. What a powerful force this was. Even in the records of ancient times, those powerful wizards did not have such powerful power.

You have to know that it was the power of Diablo, one of the three great demons. How could he dispel it so easily?
Richard ignored Kane and walked towards the church with Flavius. The church was severely damaged. The once magnificent and solemn church had become a slaughterhouse.

The demons killed a large number of humans here, and the blood dyed the ground black. Even now, there is still a strong fishy smell that cannot be dissipated.

"Where are the books?" Richard asked.

"In the library." Kane said, "Please follow me."

Kane brought the two of them to the church library. Many of the books here were about religion, but there were also many books about runes.

After all, the archbishop wanted to destroy the seal left by the Horadrim mages.

After searching the library, they came to the basement of the church, where Diablo, the Lord of Destruction, was originally sealed, and where the Horadrim mages once practiced.

There were also many books of the Horadric mages left here. Richard put all these books into the space, and also collected the rune array that sealed Diablo.

The stone that seals Diablo's soul is actually a fragment of the World Stone.

This world stone has a unique power that can seal the souls of hell demons and can also be made into rune stones. The world stone has excellent magic storage and conductivity.

The ancient Horadrim mages studied many rune stones and discovered as many as seventy-eight rune words. Of course, this is not the limit of the rune words. In fact, the Horadrim mages had already discovered that these runes were part of the rules of the world.

The rune stone contains a hint of the world's rules.

They spent a lot of effort to study this power, and finally succeeded in sealing Diablo in it. However, the Horadrim mages did not continue their research.

The knowledge contained in the rune seeds was too much for them to fully analyze. When the mages of the Horadrim School split up due to various philosophies or other reasons, they had no strength to continue their research.

The number of successors to the later schools of thought decreased, so naturally there was no energy to continue the research, but a lot of the knowledge that had been previously researched was passed down.

If Richard had not come to rescue Kane, the legacy of the Horadrim mages would have been completely lost.

Richard turned the church upside down, and after making sure that nothing was missed, he began to set up rune arrays here. Seeing the rune arrays set up by Richard, Kane frowned, because he didn't recognize many of the runes.

When Richard finished arranging all the runes and activated the magic circle, the powerful rune power instantly enveloped the land. Kane realized that this rune magic circle was so powerful!
