[Chapter 233 Dark Wanderer]
David frowned and looked at the man in front of him. He felt a strong dark aura from this man who completely covered his face.
This energy triggered a fierce reaction of the Holy Light in his body, and his whole body seemed to be warning him.
“Who are you?”
This was the first time David encountered such a situation. Does this mean that the newcomer this time will be a villain? He silently used the Holy Light to protect himself and was ready to expel the other party at any time.
“Hello, I’m just a wanderer, but I lost my way. May I ask where is this place?” The man covered by the robe made a male voice, with a little doubt and obvious weakness in his voice: “How far is it from here to Tristram?” “Tristram
…” David carefully looked at the man in front of him. Because of the close distance and the fact that the other party did not continue to lower his head and cover his face with a hood, David could see a man’s face full of determination, but now he looked very weak.
Most importantly, David noticed a flash of light on the other person’s forehead. People who didn’t know would think it was the reflection of some kind of headdress, but after David guessed the other person’s identity, he knew what it was.
“Soul Stone… Dark Wanderer… Diablo!”
Judging from the other person’s reaction, this hero who originally destroyed Diablo had not been completely eroded and corrupted by Diablo’s power at this time, and still retained his original consciousness.
“This is Winter Town.”
“Winter Town?”
David briefly introduced Winter Town to the other person. When the other person heard that this was actually another world, he unconsciously raised his hand to touch his forehead, and seemed to think of something and murmured: “No wonder…”
“Oh, I’m sorry for not introducing myself first. My name is Aidan.” Aidan did not mean to shake hands with the lord named David in front of him. At this time, he did not want to contact anyone: “If possible, I would like to rest in your town for a few days… Of course, if you don’t welcome me, I can leave immediately.”
“Winter Town welcomes any non-hostile friends to come.” David said the words often used to welcome newcomers, and then began to look at Aidan in front of him.
The man who had defeated the Dread Lord Diablo, sealed him in the Soul Stone, and finally inserted the Soul Stone into his forehead, wanting to seal Diablo with his own will, did not seem to have become a dark wanderer yet.
“But there is one thing I want to confirm.”
“What is it?”
“How long has that thing on your forehead been there?”
“…” Aidan smiled bitterly. He wore this outfit and lowered his head as much as possible to cover it with a hood, just to prevent people from seeing this thing: “To be honest, I don’t know, maybe two or three days? Or maybe longer.”
Since inserting the Soul Stone into his forehead, he has become confused.
He knew that there was a huge risk in doing so, but when he had just defeated Diablo, he had absolute confidence in his spiritual will and firmly believed that he could suppress the evil demon king.
As it turned out, he overestimated himself!
If he hadn’t come to this magical place in a daze, he might have continued to be confused.
Since he came to Winter Town, he finally got rid of that state of confusion. After just a short stay, he felt that his spirit had recovered a lot, and the murmurs that kept appearing in the trance also disappeared completely. He
guessed that it might be because he came to another world?
Although he didn’t quite understand whether there was a real cause and effect relationship, Aidan felt that as long as he stayed in this place, he seemed to be able to really suppress Diablo and keep the Dread Lord from hell in a sealed state forever.
However, he was also worried that this was just his illusion. If Diablo was accidentally released, this beautiful city might be destroyed by the Dread Lord.
Therefore, Aidan only proposed a short rest in Winter Town. He hoped to recover his body and spirit here, and then leave and return to his original world, and continue to fight Diablo with his spiritual will.
But he had actual experience and knew that it was difficult to really suppress the Dread Lord with his own will.
The final result of going back should not develop according to his idea.
What should I do? Continue to stay in this place and leave the danger to a strange world so that my world can be free from the threat of the Dread Lord?
Or go back? Let the Lord of Dread come again?
Aidan was caught in a painful dilemma. His sense of justice made him unable to make the decision to leave the danger in this world; but his desire to protect his homeland made him not want Diablo to threaten his world again.
Just when he didn’t know what he should do, the young lord in front of him suddenly stretched out his hand and gestured to him: “Excuse me.”
Although he didn’t understand what the other party was going to do, Aidan didn’t refuse and signaled that the other party could do whatever he wanted.
Then, he saw David stretched out his hand and touched the soul stone on his forehead, and then a golden but not dazzling, warm and comfortable light emanated from the other party’s hand.
Aidan felt a warmth wrapped around his whole body, and his body, which had become much weaker, seemed to be slowly recovering to its best condition.
“What kind of power is this?”
“Holy Light!”
Aidan felt that this power was a bit like the light power used by the Zakarum Cult, but it was a little different.
Just when he wanted to feel this power, David had already withdrawn his hand, and the warm power disappeared.
“It seems that the stone on your forehead has fallen into silence.”
David felt a very huge power from the soul stone on Aidan’s forehead. This power was familiar and strange. It was familiar because he always felt that this power seemed to have been seen somewhere.
Strange because he was sure that he had never really come into contact with such a powerful power.
This awkward feeling made him very uncomfortable, just like the feeling of knowing clearly that he had ‘forgotten something’, but no matter how hard he thought, he couldn’t remember what it was.
However, he was sure that Aidan was protected by this power when he was in Winter Town. Diablo in the soul stone could not continue to erode and corrupt the human hero who defeated and sealed the Dread Lord. He was in an absolutely safe state in Winter Town.
After telling Aidan about his discovery, the prince of Khanduras showed some joy on his face, but also a little worried.
“I know that my current situation is a huge threat to your territory…”
“I know what you want to say, but I think any trouble can be solved.” David looked at Aidan in front of him. Although he didn’t figure out what the mysterious power was, he had a strange feeling that Diablo could not break through the blockade of this power. In other
words, if Aidan wanted, he could live in Winter Town for a long time, and Diablo would never be able to corrupt him and occupy his body to revive again.
“Besides, I have a guy with similar experience as you. Maybe you can get some experience from him.” Since his Winter Town would not be threatened, David would naturally not drive Aidan away.
He still respected this kind of hero who was willing to sacrifice himself to save the world.
When he could do his best and he was not threatened, he didn’t mind doing some good things that could save the world.
As long as Aidan stayed in Winter Town, Diablo would not be resurrected again, and the Sanctuary World would suffer less disasters. I don’t know how many people would save their lives because of David’s words.
David always felt that he was barely a good person, and this time he just did a small good thing!
This little thing that was not a big deal to David was completely different to Aidan. He was very grateful for David’s “taking him in”, especially in this state.
“Thank you very much.”
Aidan expressed his gratitude again and asked David what the name of the person he just mentioned who had a similar experience as himself was? Where can he find that person?
“His name is Medivh, and he usually lives in the hotel… that building over there.”
David still met Aidan in the square at the main entrance of Castle Glamorgan. Standing here, he could see the Winter Hotel not far away.
“You can also live there for the time being.”
For these people from other worlds, they will be placed in Jonah’s Winter Hotel before they really decide to settle down.
If they want to really settle down in Winter Town, they can choose a ready-made house or find a favorite location and build a house with their own style.
Normally, with the development of Winter Town, newcomers who come here to settle down will no longer be treated in various ways like those who came to Winter Town in the past.
But the situation of visitors from other worlds is quite special. David has not yet figured out how to adjust it? Still arrange it according to the past routine.
Anyway, with the golden finger as a guarantee, David will definitely not lose.
When David said that Aidan could settle down in Winter Town, this hero from the world of Diablo had already paid his “reward”.
It’s just that David first took Aidan to see Jonah and helped him arrange accommodation; then he took him to see Medivh and asked Medivh to help teach Aidan the Brunnian common language.
After everything was arranged, he had time to check the reward he got from Aidan.
“What is this?”
This time the reward is not some kind of physical enhancement or improvement of mental will. It seems to be a real object, and it was given directly to David.
But looking at the energy cyclone in his hand, David is not sure whether it is a real object?
