Chapter 0007 This is the key to turning fate

When Fang Zheng arrived at the Butcher's Inn with the Holy Army, he immediately saw Leah, who was frowning at the front desk. This short-haired girl was sitting in a chair, quietly speaking to the owner. Upon seeing Fang Zheng push the door open, the owner immediately interrupted his conversation with Leah and warmly waved at him.

Upon hearing this, Fang Zheng suddenly had a moment of clarity.

Is it Leah then

Young man! You have saved us once again! Come, let me treat you to this drink... Who is this young lady?

Upon realizing this, Fang Zheng immediately made a decision. With the protagonist Naifeitian present on the meteorite, he was not afraid of encountering problems. Moreover, since the task was given a time limit, it could be confirmed that the unfolding of the plot was certainly nearby. Otherwise, if Fang Zheng were to go to the Supreme Heaven to change his fate, he would likely not arrive at the location before the task's time limit expired

No, I have more important tasks to attend to

By the way, how could I have overlooked such an important figure, Deca Kane

Although being valued by the protagonist is a good thing, Fang Zheng currently has no time to get entangled in this matter. Therefore, he could only shake his head and decline Naifeitian's invitation. Naifeitian did not say much either; he merely nodded slightly and immediately turned around to leave in a hurry

I can't believe it

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng once again looked at the young girl. He certainly knew that the evil god was hidden within her, and ultimately, the evil god would use her body to resurrect. Logically speaking, if Fang Zheng were to directly kill her with a sword at this moment, it would count as changing fate. ... However ... ? ... Is this even possible ?

"It's nothing, Captain Ramford"

Fang Zheng's words were completely without fault, thus Ramford did not deliberate for long, nodded, and agreed to his request

If Fangzheng remembers correctly, Deckard Cain was threatened by the cult leader Malthael to repair the broken sword of the angel Tyrael. However, Cain vowed to resist and was severely injured by Malthael's minions. Subsequently, Leah unleashed her own power and drove Malthael and his group away. In the end, Cain exhausted his last bit of strength to restore the sword, but he ultimately perished due to exhaustion.

I have already seen the ending, haven't I

No need, I can just take a break while I'm on the road

Thank you for your help, you can go in now, Lia is at the Butcher's Inn, Fangzheng can take you there... What's wrong with you, kid?

Given his current strength, it is basically unthinkable for him to save Tyrael or defeat Diablo. He is merely a militia member now, and even if he learns the Crusader's strike, Fangzheng does not believe he would be more capable than Tyrael. Therefore, excluding those difficult options, what he can do now is to retrieve the third fragment of the Holy Sword in advance. This way, Cain can repair the Holy Sword earlier, and the amnesiac Tyrael will not be captured by Malthael. Then, by repeatedly clearing the labyrinth, Cain can also survive. Isn't that a perfect outcome? Moreover, even if Cain were to die later due to some unforeseen circumstances, preventing Tyrael from being captured and restoring his memory in advance would still count as changing fate!

I have received some news that fragments of the meteorite seem to have fallen in the direction of Watson, so I would like to go to Watson to see if I can find clues to unravel the secrets of the meteorite

Well done, kid

This is also because Fangzheng really cannot recall the storyline of Diablo 3. However, this is not surprising; when you are immersed in Greater Rifts every day, what Diablo is about becomes utterly unimportant to the players. ... Before that, it is truly more important to farm a set gear first.

Then, I will set off immediately

Before discussing anything else, Fangzheng believes that it is essential for this Holy Knight Miss to change her name and hairstyle first. This way, he estimates that his task could be completed effortlessly... Just kidding.

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng felt that this was the key to turning his fate around

Thinking of this, Fang Zhengqiang gathered his spirits, nodded to the holy army beside him, and then stepped into the small town

Do you want to come with me

After all, the countdown for this task has already begun, so where is there any extra time to waste in bed

Go to Watson

Change your destiny

Alright, I will inform the boatman to prepare the boat, but you have just gone through a fierce battle. Do you not intend to rest a while before departing

At this time, Naifei Tianze left Tristram in search of the third fragment of the Holy Sword

As Fang Zheng approached the counter, he nearly spilled the drink in his hand upon hearing these words. He turned around, looking at the holy army before him with a mix of surprise and uncertainty—this Nephilim, your hairstyle and name are quite ominous!

Throughout the journey, the two did not say much. If there had been time, Fang Zheng would have liked to see what the 'official' Nephilim was really like. However, he did not have the mood to waste time on that now, as the third phase of the task only allowed him forty-eight hours, and he still had no clue about this fate.

With the death of the corpse mother, the assault of the undead army on Tristram finally came to an end. When the upright returned to the town gate alongside the Holy Army, the only living beings awaiting them were Captain Ramford and two archers.

At this moment, Aerybeth had already begun to inquire with Leah about the meteor that had fallen from the sky, and Leah, just like in the game, provided an explanation to this Nephalem... while also requesting her to look for her uncle... Deckard Cain... Hmm?

Upon thinking of this, Fangzheng said nothing further, but left the tavern and directly sought out Captain Ramford to present his request to go to Watson.

Looking at Fangzheng, Captain Ramford revealed a satisfied smile. He reached out and patted Fangzheng's shoulder firmly before turning his gaze to the Holy Knights beside him

Then, if one were to retrieve the third fragment of the Holy Sword in advance, would it not be possible to prevent Nephalem from leaving Tristram? In that case, could fate be altered?

Hearing Ramford's concerned inquiry, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders in frustration and then spoke. He now truly regretted his earlier thoughts. Initially, Fang Zheng believed that although the tasks assigned by the system were somewhat troublesome and dangerous, they at least had clear objectives. However, what Fang Zheng did not expect was that the third phase of the "Guardian" mission would be so troublesome.

What are you going to Watson for

Alright

Seeing Fang Zheng's eager demeanor, Captain Ramford said little more, merely nodding in acknowledgment. He then took Fang Zheng to the dock, where after a brief conversation with the boatman, the boatman set off with Fang Zheng, navigating downstream towards Watson's direction

Hearing the boss's inquiry, the holy army beside Fang Zheng stepped forward. She reached out to remove her helmet, revealing a face full of vigor, with long golden hair tied into a ponytail resting on her shoulder. She first smiled gently at the hotel owner, then turned to look at Leah

Not to mention that Leah herself is a combat professional, the power of the evil god within her is equally terrifying. Even if Fang Zheng were to launch a surprise attack, it would definitely not deceive the eyes of the evil god. If he were to provoke it, Fang Zheng would not fare well. Therefore, this thought merely circled around in Fang Zheng's mind before he immediately dismissed it.

Please follow me

At this moment, the dangerous hairstyle, along with the dangerously named Crusader, had finished conversing with Leah. She stood up, donned her helmet once more, and then gazed towards Fangzheng

Upon hearing Fangzheng's request, Captain Ramford was evidently quite surprised

Upon considering the task requirements, Fang Zheng felt extremely frustrated. The tasks generated by the system were entirely random, and he had no recollection of them. Moreover, the task prompts provided no clues, only demanding that Fang Zheng alter his predetermined fate. However, the specific details were not explained at all. Furthermore, the system specifically indicated that failure to complete this task would result in a forced exit from the task world, and it even thoughtfully included a countdown. Thus, Fang Zheng now had only forty-eight hours to change this so-called "fate." Initially, Fang Zheng had planned to follow Naifeitian closely to grind through tasks, but now it seemed that this was indeed impossible.

After watching Nephilim leave, Fang Zheng also exited the tavern. He had originally wanted to chat more with Leah, but unfortunately, she seemed to be in no mood for conversation. Perhaps it was because he had rejected Nephilim's request, which left Leah quite displeased. The young girl merely glanced at Fang Zheng, said nothing, and turned back to her room. However, Fang Zheng certainly would not stoop to her level; after all, if he inadvertently provoked the big pineapple, it would be himself who would suffer, wouldn't it?

Hello, Miss Leah, I am a paladin of the Sacred Order of Sacralum, my name is Erebeth
