With the death of the Corpse Mother, the zombie army's attack on Tristram finally came to an end. When Fang Zheng dragged his exhausted body back to the town gate with the Crusaders, the only living people to greet them were Captain Rumford and two archers.

"Good job, kid."

Looking at Fang Zheng, Captain Rumford showed a gratified smile. He reached out and patted Fang Zheng's shoulder vigorously, then looked at the Crusader beside him.

"Thank you for your help. You can go in now. Leah is at the Slaughterhouse Inn. Fang Zheng can take you there... What's wrong with you, kid?"

"Nothing, Captain Rumford."

Hearing Rumford's concerned question, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders depressedly, and then spoke. He really regretted his previous thoughts now. Fang Zheng originally thought that although the task assigned by this system was a little troublesome and dangerous, it was at least a clear task goal. But what Fang Zheng didn't expect was that the third stage of the "Guardian" task was so disappointing!

Change your destiny!

When Fang Zheng thought about the task requirements, he was very depressed. These tasks refreshed by the system were all random, and he had no impression at all. Moreover, the task prompts themselves did not give any clues, only requiring Fang Zheng to change the predetermined fate. But there was no explanation of the specific content. Not only that, the system also specifically prompted that if this task failed, he would be forced to exit the task world, and it was very "considerate" to give a countdown. So now, Fang Zheng only had 48 hours to change this so-called "fate"... Originally, Fang Zheng was planning to follow Nephalem and brush up, but now it seems that this is really impossible.

"Please follow me."

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng forced himself to cheer up, nodded to the Crusader beside him, and then walked into the town.

The two did not say much along the way. If there was time, Fang Zheng would like to see what kind of person the "official" Nephalem is. But now he is not in the mood to waste time. The third stage of the mission only gives him 48 hours, and Fang Zheng has no idea about this fate.

This is also because Fang Zheng can't remember the plot of Diablo 3 very clearly, but it's no wonder. When you are addicted to the Great Secret Realm every day, what Diablo is talking about is really not important to the players at all. Before that, it is really important to brush a suit first...

When Fang Zheng led the Crusaders to the Cow Slaughter Inn, he immediately saw Leah, who was frowning at the counter. The short-haired girl was sitting on a chair, whispering something to the boss. When the boss saw Fang Zheng push the door in, he immediately interrupted the conversation with Leah and waved at him enthusiastically.

"Boy! You saved us again! Come, this drink is on me... Who is this lady?"

Hearing the boss's question, the Crusader beside Fang Zheng stepped forward. She reached out and took off her helmet, revealing a heroic face. Her long golden hair was tied into a ponytail and draped over her shoulders. She first smiled gently at the innkeeper, then looked at Leah.

"Hello, Miss Leah, I am a crusader who believes in Zakarum, my name is Aribeth..."

Oh my god!

Fang Zheng, who walked to the counter, almost spilled the wine in his hand when he heard these words. He turned around and looked at the Crusader in front of him with doubt and surprise - Mr. Nephalem, your hairstyle and name are very unlucky!

I've seen the ending, haven't I?

Let’s not talk about anything else for now. Fang Zheng felt that the first thing he should do was to let this young lady of the Crusader Army change her name and hairstyle. This way, his mission would probably be easily accomplished... No way.

So could it be Leah?

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng looked at the young girl again. He knew that the evil god was hidden in the girl's body, and that the evil god would eventually be resurrected with the help of her body. Logically speaking, if Fang Zheng killed her with a sword right now, it would be considered a change of fate. However...is this possible?

Not to mention that Leah herself is a combat professional, the power of the evil god in her body is equally terrifying. Even if Fang Zheng launches a surprise attack, it will definitely not deceive the evil god's eyes. If it is forced into a corner, then Fang Zheng will not get any good results. So this idea just turned around in Fang Zheng's mind, and he immediately let it go.

At this time, Aribeth had begun to ask Leah about the meteorite that fell from the sky, and Leah also explained it to the Nephalem just like in the game, and asked her to find her uncle... Deckard Cain... Hmm?

Hearing this, Fang Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

By the way, how could I have overlooked such an important person, Deckard Cain!

If Fang Zheng remembered correctly, Deckard Cain was threatened by the cult leader Magda to repair the broken holy sword of the angel Tyrael, but Cain refused to obey and was severely injured by Magda's men. Then Leah burst out her power and drove Magda away. In the end, Cain used up his last bit of strength to restore the holy sword, but he himself died because of exhaustion.

At this time, the Nephalem left Tristram in search of the third fragment of the holy sword!

So, if I find the third piece of the holy sword earlier, can I prevent the Nephalem from leaving Tristram? In this way, can I change my fate?

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng felt that this was the key to changing his fate!

With his current strength, saving the Nephalem or killing Diablo is out of the question. He is just a militiaman now. Even if he learns Crusader Strike, Fang Zheng doesn't think he is more capable than the Nephalem. So, excluding those difficult options, what he can do now is to retrieve the third piece of the Holy Sword in advance. In this way, Cain can repair the Holy Sword in advance, and Tyrael, who has lost his memory, will not be captured by Magda. Then, after repeatedly brushing the maze, Cain can survive. Isn't that all good? To put it another way, even if Cain dies later because of something unexpected, Tyrael is prevented from being captured, and his memory is restored in advance, which can also be regarded as changing his fate!

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng immediately made a decision. With Nephalem as the protagonist on Meteorite, he was not afraid of any problems. Moreover, the mission also gave him a time limit, so it was certain that the plot would happen nearby. Otherwise, if Fang Zheng was asked to go to the High Heaven to change his fate, he would probably end the mission before he even got there.

"Then I will set out immediately."

At this time, the Crusader with the dangerous hairstyle and name had finished talking to Leah. She stood up, put on her helmet again, and looked at Fang Zheng.

"Will you come with me?"

"No, I have more important tasks."

Although it was a good thing to be valued by the protagonist, Fang Zheng didn't have time to dwell on this, so he shook his head and rejected Nephalem's invitation. Nephalem didn't say much, just nodded slightly and then turned around and left in a hurry.

After watching Nephalem leave, Fang Zheng also walked out of the tavern. He wanted to chat with Leah, but unfortunately, she didn't seem to be in the mood to chat with him. Perhaps because he rejected Nephalem's request, Leah was very dissatisfied. Therefore, the girl just glanced at Fang Zheng and turned back to her room without saying anything. But Fang Zheng certainly wouldn't argue with her. If he accidentally provoked Big Pineapple, he would be the one who would be in trouble, right?

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng did not say anything more, but left the tavern, then went straight to Captain Rumford and asked him to go to Watson.

"To Watson?"

Captain Rumford was obviously surprised to hear Fang Zheng's request.

"What are you doing at Watson's?"

"I got some news. I heard that some fragments of the meteorite seemed to fall in the direction of Watson, so I want to go to Watson to see if I can find any clues to unlock the secret of the meteorite."

There was nothing wrong with what Fang Zheng said, so Rumford didn't think about it for too long. He nodded and agreed to his request.

"Okay, I'll tell the boatman to get the boat ready. But you just went through a fierce battle, don't you want to take a rest before leaving?"

"No, I'll just take a break on the way."

After all, the countdown for this mission has begun, so there is no time to waste on it.

"All right."

Seeing Fang Zheng's impatient look, Captain Rumford didn't say much, just nodded, and then took Fang Zheng to the dock. After talking with the boatman there, the boatman took Fang Zheng and set off, going downstream towards Watson.
