Chapter 565: Volusk and Kanai and Kanai's Box (to be followed)
The story of Volusk facing death seems to be an epic story to the observer.
But if everything he faced at that time had to be described in words, it would probably be a psychedelic dream-like story.
This story probably starts from the moment Warusk saw the vision of the first ancestor.
After all, it was from that day that he truly became the Immortal King, even if this was not what he hoped for.
That was not a mistake, nor was it fate, it was just that he and they had no choice.
......
"Kanai, I still think you are the guy who should sit on the throne. Have you never thought that only you can get the recognition of all the Nephalem? .
The title of Immortal King is too heavy for me. I still can’t understand why you want to put me on the throne before everyone says your name.”
Wo! Rusk sat cross-legged on the ground, his messy hair swaying in the wind like a lion's mane.
He looked at Kanai, who was sitting on the edge of the stone chair and writing continuously on a large pile of parchment on the table, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Everything that happened on this day was really strange to him.
While the elders were holding a memorial ceremony, they suddenly said that they wanted to elect an immortal king.
Warusk still remembers that when the news was announced, both the young warriors and the veteran strongmen all looked at the man standing aside with a calm face. Kanai.
When Volusk looked at Kanai, his eyes were full of ecstasy.
Yes!
Who else besides Kanai is qualified to sit on the throne of the Immortal King?
Even if the scope of voting is expanded to include all Nephalem, including mages, demon hunters, crusaders, necromancers, etc., this kind of voting will not matter if it is carried out. A thousand times or ten thousand words, those people will only write one name on their ballots!
That’s “Kanai”!
The noble one! Kanai!
But it was Kanai who stood up when everyone was looking at him!
“My compatriots! We need the Immortal King! But my name cannot be engraved on the throne of the Immortal King!
Of course I am willing to use up all my energy for everyone’s sake. Life can get better!
I am willing to step into the most dangerous battlefield when needed!
But I cannot become the Immortal King!”
This is what Kanai said at the time.
If these words were spoken by Warusk, then these rough barbarians would have probably started to make an uproar long ago.
But it was Kanai who said these words!
So everyone present was quiet, waiting for Kanai to continue speaking.
For a time, apart from the crackling sound of burning torches in the Elder's Temple, there was only the sound of breathing in the background.
"If I tell you the reasons, it will only bring disaster to us! So forgive me for not being able to describe it in detail to everyone.
But don't worry, we will have an immortal king. !
This is not my wishful thinking, but he will definitely be able to do everything an immortal king needs!"
Kanai looked at him calmly as he spoke. Warusk was at the forefront of the crowd.
Everyone also followed Kanai’s movements and looked at the confused guy.
Warusk's standing in the front row already demonstrates his status.
Of course there is order among the barbarians, and they also need rules such as queuing.
For example, when distributing food, the more powerful the warriors are, the closer they are to the front, because the warriors are responsible for hunting.
The higher they are at the forefront, the less likely they are to have delicious food. They have food that can satisfy the soldiers, but it will never be delicious.
The most delicious food always belongs to the children. The barbarians know very well what the barbarian children who grow up on the sacred mountain of Arreat will face.
It was an endless battle, endless fighting and war dancing on the edge of life and death.
At least, the elders and soldiers hope that these children can remember a little bit of the beauty in their childhood, instead of just endless contact and the instructor's fierce face and mouthful of words. Smells of alcohol.
Worusk stands at the forefront in most situations where he needs to queue up, because he is the most powerful one among the warriors on the holy mountain.
It’s just that there is always one person whose name is included in the extra column in the list of barbarians, and that is Kanai.
"No! How can I do better than you!? Kanai! I can't be as great as you. If one day I can be described as 'great', I will too It will only be ranked behind your name!”
Warusk was stung by everyone's gaze, and he said in a panic.
"Warusk! If anyone on the Holy Mountain can truly become the Immortal King, then only you. Believe me!"
Kanai was very excited when he said this. Serious, serious like the ancestor who only had sculptures left.
"Elders, this is not the first time I have said this! My decision can never be the final ruling!
Then let us make the decision according to past practice! Of course, I still won’t get involved!”
Kanai was a little anxious when he spoke, as if he had something he had to do right now.
The rule of barbarians is of course not that whoever has the bigger fist is right. In that case, this group would not continue to this day, and even show a trend of growth.
It’s just that strength is also part of this routine.
"Ahem! You mean according to Udi... Sorry, I forgot, you mean to initiate a vote?"
An elder said nervously.
He originally wanted to say something like "according to Uldyssian's rules", but the name "Udyssian" has become a topic that cannot be mentioned after this man made his decision.
Everything is trying to downplay the impact of this existence. Among them are not only the Nephalem, but also angels and demons.
They kept doing some deliberate things. Although everyone who knew Uldyssian's existence would never forget this man, they all fell silent!
"Vote! Although I think there is probably no one on the Holy Mountain who is more suitable to become the Immortal King than Volusk."
After Kanai finished speaking, he was minding his own business. He turned around and walked to his room.
It was a large enough stone house, with enough space inside to accommodate a dozen of the largest prey.
But the room was already filled with various parchment scrolls, leaving a path that could lead directly to the desk.
Only beside Kanai's desk can I find some empty space.
Everyone who stayed at the scene focused their attention on Warusk. The look was a bit strange, but they did not examine it.
The barbarians did not doubt whether Volusk could become the Immortal King. This was not because of Kanai, but because Volusk already had such qualifications.
Although Volusk behaves a little cowardly most of the time, except for Kanai, there is no barbarian who can compare with Volusk on the Holy Mountain.
This guy is powerful enough and has ideas.
If anyone regards the cowardly and lazy Volusk as a softie, then he is likely to taste the heavy hammer in Volusk's hands.
Although the barbarians present had not tasted the taste of the heavy hammer that looked like a racket, they could imagine it.
In addition to the demon's smell like rotten eggs, there is only the rancid smell of the demon's brain!
Warusk is already powerful enough, but he has never had this kind of self-awareness.
"Then, the voting begins!
All warriors who can pick up the ballots, who do not agree with Volusk as the Immortal King! Go and place the ballots in front of the gate of the temple!"< br>
An elder said feebly.
Although Kanai said, his decision should not be the final verdict. But now that Kanai is determined not to become the Immortal King, who else is more suitable to become the Immortal King than Volusk?
That's why he asked those who opposed it to vote, otherwise the movement might not be small.
The elder looked at the soldiers present. All the soldiers stood there and had no intention of getting their votes.
But there was a figure striding towards the place where the votes were stacked.
Then he picked up the "ballots" that were three side by side and walked towards the door of the Elders' Temple.
Then he placed the "ballot" in his hand tightly on the ground.
A barbarian's vote is a stone brick strong enough that each vote makes the square outside the Temple of the Elders a little wider.
Only those who can carry the "ballot" here and place it are eligible to vote, so strength has also become a part of voting.
Qualifications are not completely meaningless to barbarians, but "qualifications" are nothing compared to "being able to do something for the tribe".
"Then, one vote is against, and the rest are all in favor!
Warusk! Tomorrow you will be the Immortal King!
Now, let's go! Go ahead and do whatever you have to do!
If there are less prey today than yesterday, you hunting guys should go home and find someone else! "
The elder who presided over the meeting said this.
Then the soldiers dispersed in a hurry, leaving only Warusk with a red face looking at the ground he had just laid.
The vote is over, and now the stone brick is the stone brick.
He was a little uneasy, so he immediately followed Kanai's footsteps and left the square.
"Vorusk, you have everything it takes to become the Immortal King, but there is only one thing, that is, you lack a little style and so-called 'courtesy'."
"You are You know me, those manners are too troublesome! Why can't I just lie down on the ground when I'm tired? Could it be that there are demons who can chop off my head while I'm sleeping?
Stop joking? !
Unless the Demon King of Hell dares to leave their lair at this time!”
Warusk was particularly excited when he talked about the topic of "politeness".
Kanai has taught him more than once to be "courteous" and to live like a "civilized person". But Warusk was always dismissive.
For him, those guys' evaluations of him have no value at all. Could it be that being told by other professions that he was impolite would affect him in smashing the devil's head?
Anyone who has seen Volusk's fighting posture will not doubt his power.
This can be proven by those demons who were directly shaken into a blood dance by the huge power.
“But you will be the Immortal King soon. You have to know that you will represent us, the barbarians.
Our tribe is called barbarians, and our profession is named after our tribe. . But that doesn't mean we don't have 'civilization'.
Worusk, it's time for you to think like an immortal king.
First of all, you should stand up and not be casual. Sitting on the ground, if you are tired, you can try the throne in the Temple of the Elders in advance
I don't think Bulkatho will mind, because you are supposed to be the Immortal King. "
Kanai said to Warusk with a gentle smile. If the fists in his hands had not been clenched loudly, Warusk could have sat on the ground for a while longer.< br>
The Bulcaisuo mentioned by Kanai is of course the original ancestor, and he has met the original ancestor a long time ago
It is for this reason that Kanai. Can’t Become the Immortal King
“Why, why can’t you be the Immortal King!
You know, I can't stand the neatly dressed armor, and I don't like the feeling of being restrained. No matter when, I can't accept the feeling of being controlled.
You should know this very well! "
Warusk muttered while dusting himself off under Kanai's threatening gaze.
His cowardice when facing Kanai was very clear.
Not because of anything else, because Kanai is stronger than him!
Moreover, Kanai has never done anything wrong in all the years he has been a great elder. No matter whether it is a big or small matter, Kanai is always right.
"Warusk, I think today is probably the last few times I will call you by your name directly. After tomorrow, I will only call you the Immortal King, and you should also do what I What I hope you can do
The Immortal King can do anything you want, as long as your body is on that throne, and as long as you can still swing your war hammer, then no one can. No more excessive demands are made of you.
If you are still unwilling to sit on that throne after becoming the Immortal King, then you can train warriors who can replace you.
Let him be stronger than you, more wanton than you, and more fearful to the devil than you!
Now, Warusk, it's time for you to go back to your house.
When you step out of your house tomorrow, you will be walking on the path of the Immortal King. Go back now and have a good sleep. I will help you with your share of hunting today. Now go to sleep.
Also, remember to sleep in your bed honestly! If you are lying on the ground when I see you tomorrow, then I can guarantee you that you will have your butt swollen and I will press you on the throne!
Trust me you won’t like that taste! "
After Kanai finished speaking, Warusk looked at Kanai deeply, and then left Kanai's house.
After all, Kanai did not answer any of his questions. Warusk understood that this was because he could not afford the secret now.
So he can only keep all this in his head until the moment Kanai thinks he can bear it.
"Tomorrow, I will be the Immortal King?
How random! Do you have no time anymore?
Who can make you feel the crisis? Who is it? Can you be forced to make such a hasty decision?
I don’t believe that everything today was decided by those elders without telling you! All this must be your instruction! But why?
Aren't you strong enough? "
Worusk muttered quietly as he walked home. Both he and Kanai knew that these words were not to himself.
Worusk believed that Kanai could listen.
Warusk returned to his room and looked at his bed. There was nothing on it, but it had no impact on him.
There is no difference between a bare stone bed and sleeping on a stone slab outside the Elder's temple.
Warusk didn't care, but he still hesitated, then took a deep breath, and then blew away the dust on the stone bed that no one had been lying on for an unknown period of time.
In the shadow of Kanai's room, the elder who was in charge of everything before walked out.
Barbarians are not good at magic, but this does not apply to these elders.
These elders were excellent warriors when they were young, and became spellcasters when they were old. They filled the "well-known" shortcomings of the barbarians.
Don’t understand magic at all? How is that possible?
The relationship between barbarians and mages is not good at all. If barbarians do not know magic, they will not be able to protect their own tribe from those elusive mages.
The Nephalem are never monolithic within themselves.
"Kanai, what are you going to do? With your power, I think it will not be easy even if the archangels and hell demons want to kill you.
I believe that you are not at risk of dying even if you face a single demon. Why do you need an immortal king so urgently?
And to be honest, you are more powerful than Volusk and more suitable for that throne. "
The elder's expression was not very good when he spoke.
If it hadn't been for Kanai's request, what happened today would not have been so hasty, just like a farce.
Originally this shouldn’t be like this, but this is Kanai’s request
“No one is immortal, and what I will do next may, no! It will definitely be stopped! You know, the relationship between High Heaven and Burning Hell is like brothers.
Even if the relationship between their brothers is not good, it would be different if someone wanted to challenge their authority. "
Kanai didn't look at the elder who came to him. He just lowered his head and continued to write and draw on his parchment.
"Kanai, what can't you say? What are the chances of the plan succeeding? If there is not even a 30% success rate, I cannot let the barbarians risk everything to help you! "
The elder said in a stern voice.
But Kanai understood what he meant.
As long as the success rate is higher than 30%, the elder will not hesitate to mobilize the power of the barbarians to assist Kanai!
Kanai understands that when the barbarians stake everything, even the high-level heavens and burning hells need to face it a little more.
But that won’t end well.
“We need an Immortal King, an Immortal King who can make the Burning Hell and the High Heavens pay attention, but not pay special attention to it.
So I can’t, only Volusk can Do it!
Warusk's cowardice is not only clear to angels and demons, but what they don't know is that Warusk's cowardice has never been able to stop him.
Vorusk is the best leader when the barbarians want to accumulate strength!
He will do everything right, so trust him. "
Kanai raised his head when he said these words, and the elder saw the seriousness in Kanai's eyes.
He understood that the success rate of Kanai's plan was not even 30%. Even that is a complete gamble!
"What about you? What are you going to do?"
The elder turned around and said, his voice was very small, like the sound of a mosquito.
The elder left the room without waiting for Kanai to give an answer.
He knew exactly what answer Kanai would give, so he didn't need to wait.
“I plan to eliminate one of the most troublesome enemies for the Nephalem.”
With a pious smile on his face, Kanai answered.
Isreal!
Kanai believes that the only archangel who will appear in front of him will be this one!
After the fate of Inaris was completely defeated by Uldyssian, only this archangel could possibly occupy the position that once belonged to Inaris!
The power of fate is favoring the barbarians!
Kanai saw it!
Inaris loved his children, so Kanai saw it!
No matter how he deduce the ending that belongs to him, he can't find a better way than now.
But Kanai was barely satisfied with this result.
It would be better if we could defeat a Hell Demon together.
"I'm really greedy."
Kanai said with a stern look on his face, gritting his teeth.
“But I like this kind of greed! I will bite off a piece of meat from your body, and then let this power become the deadliest dagger when I overthrow you!”
Kanai said this as if he was talking to someone invisible.
The light coming from the window with poor lighting is getting less and less, and a brown stone in the parchment on Kanai's table begins to shine!
The Stone of the World!
Kanai prepared for a long time before cutting such a piece from the World Stone that the barbarians were supposed to protect!
This stone was carved bit by bit by Kanai with various beautiful patterns. Kanai's energy coiled around it along the patterns, giving it a kind of power.
Now we are just waiting for Israel, who is destined to lose everything in his hands, to appear!
Then the Nephalem will have a great and unparalleled artifact!
And this is the beginning of the Nephalem's destruction of the High Heavens and the Burning Hells!
"What should I call you? Maybe 'Kanai's Box' is a good name. Who should I hand you over to take control of you then? How about giving it to the elders?
By the way, I remember he wasn’t born as a barbarian? What was his original name?
Forget it, it doesn’t matter anyway, since no one knows it, it doesn’t matter.”
Kanai looked at the magic box in front of him in a daze.
There is also an updated chapter of 6,000 words. The time is uncertain, but it is guaranteed to be sent out before five o'clock.
(End of this chapter)
