Blood Bird was a name Liu Zhi knew well. Her real name was Monia Rogue, an outstanding Rogue warrior and one of the mercenaries from Act I of the second game.
Together with two other heroes, Aidan, a warrior from the first game, and Jazreth, a mage from the first game, she defeated Diablo. But the dark forces corrupted her, and she eventually fell, becoming one of Andaril's evil minions: Blood Bird.
Also, "BloodRaven," Blood Bird's name, translated directly as "Blood Raven."
But Liu Zhi had a feeling that this wasn't the real Blood Bird. She was simply a powerful being who had borrowed the name.
There were surely many other beings called Blood Bird on this island.
The one before him was probably one of the stronger ones. After all, she occupied a large stronghold and protected many people.
Liu Zhi didn't point this out. Instead, he asked her directly, "Blood Bird? Are you a god or a guardian?"
"A god. A Combined God, to be precise. Only gods can establish strongholds on the surface."
Liu Zhi glanced around. "Did they all end up like this because of your influence?"
"No. They're just under my protection in my God's Land. They ended up like this because my God's Land was affected by outside forces."
"The power of demons?" Liu Zhi asked.
Blood Bird shook her head. "The power of Hell. But they haven't become demons. We're actually the good guys."
Seeing how nervous Blood Bird looked, Liu Zhi realized that she had already gauged his strength.
But she couldn't tell whether he was a good person or a bad one, or what to make of Professionals from the demon faction. So she wasn't sure what he would do after she told him the truth.
Liu Zhi rolled his eyes
