"So you, the unlucky guy, are the chosen punching bag?"
Hailab asked looking at Olongus in front of him who had been beaten so violently that his face was swollen to the point of being unrecognizable.
"What do you think? Otherwise, who would come to you and get beaten?
Don’t think I don’t know, that bastard Cassius is definitely capable of fighting with you! But he has no idea at all!”
Olongus took an egg he found from somewhere and kept rubbing it on his face.
"Has anyone ever told you that eggs used to reduce swelling need to be peeled and cooked?"
Hailab asked with a strange expression.
After Olongus heard these words, he lost control of his hand for a moment, and the egg of an unknown animal was crushed directly on his face!
The egg liquid hanging on that swollen face made Olongus look very funny.
"I have no idea."
Olongus seemed to be trying his best to make a painful expression.
He wiped his face haphazardly, and then wiped his hands on the ground to make them clean.
"So did Rasuk tell you that you better wash your hands after you do something stupid?"
Hailab had already turned his head when he said these words.
He was suppressing a smile, but he couldn't hold it in anymore.
What Orlongus did at this time was particularly funny, but Hailab couldn't tell for a while whether Orlongus deliberately made himself look like a clown making fun of others.
The way these guys express their feelings is often irresponsible and even funny.
"So go and persuade Bulcasso."
Olongus lay directly on the ground as if his bones had been taken away.
"Because you're just so stupid, it's hard for me to tell whether you're really stupid or you're doing it on purpose.
But you’ve already been beaten, and now it’s time for me to go and beat you up.”
Hailab said after letting out a long sigh.
“It doesn’t matter, there’s nothing more we can expect anyway.
You must not have imagined what I said to Koutul before, I was really shaken at that moment!"
What Olongus said did not sound like he was talking to Hylab in front of him, but more like he was communicating with himself.
"Who among us has not wavered?
Don't forget, we are all human beings, and we all have mortal hearts that the archangels worry about.
We have as much trouble as happiness, although a smile cannot represent happiness."
Hailab walked to the corner of his house and took down a huge stone from the wall.
This thing is not unusual at all, after all, most of the savage houses are made of stones like this.
Because the stones have been trimmed by them, most of them fit tightly when stacked.
But there is a big hole above this stone!
Inside the cave were neatly placed several jars that looked like they were made of stone.
"You're lucky, I just want a drink right now.
After I was summoned by Bulkesso using the obsession of the Holy Mountain, I immediately went to the huge pit left by the Holy Mountain of Arreat.
The place where I hid the wine was not on the Holy Mountain, so there are still a few bottles left.
Then I built this house for myself and hid all the wine I like."
Hailab talked about what he had done back then in a relaxed manner.
He smoothly pulled out a jar from the rocks and handed it directly to Hailab.
"We didn't like you very much, but we never thought you would hide wine on the wall of the house."
Olongus curled his lips, then broke off the seal of the jar and poured it into his mouth.
Then he sat up suddenly and looked at Hairab in front of him with an expression of disbelief.
"How scarce were supplies in the era when you were alive?"
Olongus swallowed the wine with some difficulty before asking Hailab.
"This is the first time I've tasted wine made from meat. Also! What kind of meat was used in yours?"
Olongus looked down at the impossibly transparent jar in his hand and asked in disbelief.
"Devil's flesh and blood, you did it Orlongus! You did it by eating the devil's flesh and blood!
How do you feel now that the adjective of hatred has truly become a reality?"
Hellab did not answer Olongus' previous question.
He just smiled and his eyes were calm!
“Is he so hungry that even the flesh and blood of demons has become food to satisfy his hunger?
It's really hard for me to imagine.
Didn't you hear the demons' curses before you killed them?"
Olongus's expression was very strange.
"Of course they are intelligent beings, there is no doubt about that.
But when they gnawed at Nephalem's body, it didn't seem that surprising to face such a result, right?
We need to keep fighting until there are no more demons in sight!"
Hailab was very determined, but his tone was so calm that it gave Olongus a hint of fear.
"Then this wine..."
"Don't worry, I confirmed it after killing this demon.
There is no nephalem in his body.
In other words, this demon is either on a hunger strike, or he has never eaten the nephalem."
Hailab made a little joke.
Of course the demons will not go on a hunger strike.
This demon might just be unlucky enough to bump into Hellab just after crawling out of the Burning Hell.
"The barbarians of the Tagus tribe are mad."
Olongus shook his head helplessly, then mustered up the courage to pour the wine in the jar into his mouth again.
"We are the most typical representatives of savage madness.
But barbarians from other tribes rarely seem to ask why we are the craziest.
If given a choice, who would be willing to associate with madness.
The reason why I was angry at Warusk's actions was simply because he once again did not give me the power to choose.
I can't stand this."
Hailab smiled.
Then he opened a can of wine and poured it into his mouth.
He didn't have any other reaction to this weird tasting wine, he was already used to it.
"I suspect that the contemptuous term "barbarian" means those guys happened to meet barbarians from the Tagus tribe."
Olongus complained.
Then he lay back on the ground.
After being surprised, he had no special reaction.
In the chaotic years, it has been very difficult for the Nephalem to continue until now.
"We don't care anyway, do we?
As the guardian of the World Stone, he shouldered such a lofty responsibility.
But weren't we still called barbarians at that time?
It’s just a title.”
Hailabu grinned with bared teeth.
"Then back then you were punished severely by Bulcasso for several days because of his name, and you even had to shout 'My name is Goudan' on the Holy Mountain?"
Olongus exposed Hyrab's background without mercy.
This may be the most embarrassing time in Hylab's existence!
It’s just that few people will mention it after that.
On the one hand, most of the barbarians who saw this scene were already dead and sleeping peacefully.
On the other hand, few of them are willing to fight Hailab in a one-on-one battle.
Fighting one-on-one with the barbarians of the Tagus tribe is not a good experience, it can even be said to be a terrible experience.
A group of guys who can use their anger to get rid of most negative states.
Fighting him will make you feel like facing a wooden stake that can fight back.
There will be no instinctive curling up after being hit, nor will the movements deform due to pain.
The longer you fight with them, the more fear and doubt you have about yourself.
These guys are extremely difficult to deal with, and Hellab, who is also an immortal monster, is even more difficult to deal with.
"For the sake of the severe beating I just gave you, I won't do anything to you again today.
But you'd better get out before the sun comes up the next day.
Because at that time I might be in a bad mood because I was about to get beaten up, and I needed a punching bag."
Hailab said angrily.
"Then let's wait until the sun rises tomorrow to decide.
The taste of the wine you hid is surprisingly refreshing after you get used to it."
Olongus's words were already a bit drunk.
But he shouldn't have gotten drunk so quickly.
And Hellabo’s wine actually doesn’t taste good at all.
This thing is simply throwing the demon's flesh and blood into the water, and then processing it in the roughest way.
Even in addition to the thin smell of alcohol, there is also a bit of rancid smell.
"I think so too, but now we can drink better-tasting wine.
Praise be to the Immortal King, whoever he is."
Hailab said with a smile.
He held up the jar in his hand, and then a little of the wine in the jar spilled out.
So Olongus, who had just lay down, sat up again!
"You! What you are drinking is Bulcasso's Reserve!"
Orlongus's lips trembled in anger!
"Yes, I said, we can drink better-tasting wine now, and I even praised the Immortal King Bulcasso."
Hailab said with a smile.
"Come on, let's start the second round!
I must put a stone into your mouth today! And it’s a processed stone!”
Olongus cursed and tried to stand up.
But he had just stood up halfway when Hairab punched him and put him down again.
"Even when I'm lying down, I can stay several blocks away from you in close combat.
If it's just close combat, even if you add Cassius, you will only be able to have some back-and-forth with me!"
Hailab laughed wildly.
And Olongus let out an unwilling roar accompanied by a cry of pain!
He was beaten again!
The barbarians of the Tagus tribe never turn down a challenge!
It was Olongus himself who said he wanted to go to the second round.
This is not something that Helab wants to find an opportunity to retaliate against Olongus for exposing his background. Really...probably.
…
Li Min left the Holy Mountain of Harrogas.
She didn't think she needed to comfort Bulqueso.
They should have been accustomed to being with pain long ago, although Li Min has not lost much because of his strength and youth.
But she has actually been used to all this for a long time, but in the past she mostly saw this as a bystander.
Li Min decided to leave in person after learning the news from Nazbo.
Nazbo did not hide his discovery from these companions, but the value represented by this thing could only be understood by Li Min, who was also a spell caster.
If Rasma's beloved disciple Zul was still alive, he should also be able to realize how amazing this is!
A thing that can very obviously affect other people's sanity, this thing can be said to touch a part of the essence of the soul!
It is impossible for Li Min to be uninterested in such a novel thing as the Anti-Life Equation.
Li Min decided to see it for herself, and even got a map to plan the route she would take.
She can indeed reach her destination in one teleportation.
But the nephalem also need to rest, and it is not meaningless to see the scenery they have never seen before.
At least that's the case for mages.
Along the way, Li Min will pass through Canduras and New York.
It even has to pass through the territory of Latovilla.
She planned to go to New York to see Vera's situation first, and then go to Canduras to urge Ulena to take over Vera's job as soon as possible.
Then look at Dr. Doom who wanted to use demons and even achieved some results.
Dr. Doom is a very talented person and a good spell caster.
Li Min still misses the time when she was in school. At that time, she would occasionally attend gatherings between classmates.
But after leaving Xiansai Academy, those gatherings completely became a thing of the past.
"Auriel, it shouldn't be a problem if I call you by your name now, right?
Anyway, you haven’t spread out the wings of light of the Archangel of Hope at this time.”
Li Min said without raising his head.
Her eyes were still on the map.
"Of course, I'm just curious."
Oriel said gently.
Her voice makes it difficult to feel anxious or anything like that.
Always gentle, with a pleasant feeling of warmth.
"You should not leave the confines of the sacred mountain of Harogath.
After all, if I were those demons, you would definitely be the main target.
After you choose to accept the protection of the Nephalem, the archangels will not watch you face danger.
But they won't be too obvious about helping.
Of course, I would say except for the Prius."
Li Min said casually.
Auriel is still the most special one, so Li Min will not think that Auriel just happened to be relaxing and met her here.
"I don't want to say anything mysterious and profound, but I feel like you won't gain much from this trip."
Oriel said.
"Come on, you are not destiny.
Unless you're willing to risk my wrath by tampering with areas of hope.
You shouldn't be so stupid, nor so crazy."
Li Min said nonchalantly.
Auriel deserves attention, because hope is something that everyone knows exists, but its appearance is difficult to describe.
In other words, under normal circumstances, even if Hope is fiddled with by Auriel, other beings cannot be sure of anything.
Hope is like the sun in the eyes of ordinary people, it is there, and people enjoy the conveniences brought by the sun.
But no one has ever touched the sun personally!
"I'm just a reminder, not a threat.
Hope is not omnipotent, what can save is only the existence that has not given up on saving itself.”
Auriel said softly.
"It makes no sense for you to tell me this.
It seems to me like you are bragging and attributing all your miracles to hope.
I don’t deny the importance of hope, but I also have reasonable doubts about the importance of hope.”
Li Min finally folded the map and raised his head to look at Auriel in front of him.
"Perhaps the value of hope is that it has no value.
I actually don't want you to believe in me at all, but the Nephalem are always placing hope.
What I have now is not the result of my various calculations."
Auriel lowered his head slightly, letting his sight be obscured by the hood.
