After sorting through the rich spoils of this battle, Sun Fei and Elena, whose combat power had greatly increased after changing into new equipment, held hands and searched for a while. After confirming that nothing had been missed, they found a hidden black entrance in the strange space where Duriel was. Entering the entrance, the scenery before their eyes flowed like a Teleport, and they soon arrived at another huge space that resembled an underground tomb.

Floating in the middle was a small mountain, covered in chains. These chains connected the mountain, and on this mountain, inscribed with magical runes, the two found the imprisoned and tortured Archangel Tyrael, barely alive. As Sun Fei had expected, this archangel, clad in magnificent angelic armor, radiating silver-white light, and with tentacles resembling a tentacle monster, lacked any intelligence of his own. Moreover, his dialogue was identical to Sun Fei's memories from his previous life: Diablo and his brother Baal had gone east, and Sun Fei, playing the role of a high-ranking Enforcer of Paradise, was to quickly eliminate these two demons. It was utterly devoid of any reward. Sun Fei had initially hoped for some kind of reward from the archangel, but instead, he was so stingy, only demanding work without any reward. Enraged, Sun Fei grabbed Elena and left...

Returning to Lut Gholein using a Town Portal Scroll, Sun Fei found the NPC merchant, sold some useless magical equipment, and obtained over 30,000 gold coins. Humming a tune, he organized his personal storage. Although he had already completed all the quests in Act II and could travel to the Act III Diablo World map [ Kurast Docks ] through Captain Meshif at the city docks for a new challenge, Sun Fei decided to temporarily abandon the idea. He would wait until the other six classes had also completed the Act II world map [ Lut Gholein ] before going there.

After spending some time alone with Elena, even the Diablo World, demon- Zongheng continent became romantic.

Sun Fei gave some detailed instructions about the construction of Chambord City, and asked Elena to tell Sun Fei that when the red moon of the Diablo World rose to its highest point in the sky, the two of them held hands tightly. Sun Fei had fantasized many times in his previous life about watching the moon shoulder to shoulder with a beautiful woman, and he never expected it to come true here.

Half an hour later, Sun Fei exited [ Barbarian Mode ], selected the mage character, and entered the dark [ Lut Gholein ] map to start killing monsters and leveling up. The mage had reached level 33. Due to obtaining the seventh-level green set [ Arcanna's Tricks ], the mage's strength increased greatly, and the leveling speed was extremely fast.

Blackstone Fortress in the Blazing Sun Mountains.

The darkest hour is before dawn.

When Sun Fei withdrew from the Diablo World, he still appeared at the top of the first tower of Blackstone Fortress. After the bloody battle, Blackstone Fortress was extremely peaceful. No enemies attacked that night. It seemed that King of Black Rock knew that Black Rock City was no match for this expeditionary force and did not take any military action to reclaim lost territory.

Of course, there might be other reasons as well, and Sun Fei had guessed some of them from King of Black Rock's hesitant words today. However, Sun Fei was not worried about these things. They didn't matter. In the face of overwhelming power, everything was illusory. Although Chambord City was not yet powerful enough to challenge a formal empire, it would have absolutely no problem dealing with some vassal states.

Anyone who dares to bare their teeth at me, I'll make them regret it.

Lying on his back at the top of the tower, with the starlight filling his eyes, Sun Fei let go of all his thoughts, finding peace in his mind, and began to enjoy this rare moment of leisure, quietly appreciating the beautiful and dazzling night sky. Dawn is the time when the night is deepest and the stars are brightest. Each star, shining like a diamond, adorns the dark night sky with breathtaking beauty.

Sun Fei quickly became engrossed in it.

He subconsciously began searching for the myriad constellations in the sky, just as he had done in some similar scenes from his past life.

To his surprise, he found some familiar constellations in the night sky. As a former Saint fan, Sun Fei had been obsessed with astrology for a period of time, so he was very familiar with the celestial locations of the eighty-eight constellations, the number of stars that make them up, and the arrangement of the star clusters. Although the constellations he saw in the night sky were not the same as those in his previous life, if he tried to piece them together carefully, he could slowly sketch out some basically similar patterns.

"Pegasus... Draco... Ophiuchus... Haha, I can actually find them all! This is truly an amazing discovery!" Sun Fei stroked his chin, having come up with a brilliant idea.

soon--

"Come to the top of the highest tower to see me."

Sun Fei's voice rang in the ears of Frank Lampard, Warden Oleg, bodyguard Fernando Torres, and the " Heng and Ha Generals " Drogba and Pierce. These men hadn't slept all night, and apart from occasionally patrolling various parts of the city to ensure security, they were seizing every opportunity to cultivate and improve their strength. They all wanted to achieve good results for Chambord City in the upcoming Martial Combat Competition and share the pressure on Sun Fei, so they had been working very hard.

Upon hearing Sun Fei's voice, six figures swiftly pierced the night sky and silently arrived at the top of the tower.

"Your Majesty!" The six men knelt on one knee in greeting.

"Get up, all of you!" Sun Fei stood with his back to the edge of the tower platform, the night wind ruffling his long, flowing black hair and lifting his fluttering clothes. He looked up at the sky, pointed to the countless stars, and smiled as he spoke some seemingly random words, "Look, how beautiful and brilliant the stars in the sky are! They're countless. But did you know there's a magical legend? The stars in the sky aren't actually scattered randomly. They occupy different areas, forming lifelike patterns called constellations. The entire sky can be divided into eighty-eight constellations..."

constellation?

Although Azeroth Continent has a long history of theoretical research on celestial phenomena and has some myths and legends associated with it, this was the first time they had heard of anything about constellations. For a moment, the group was confused as to why His Majesty the King was saying all this, wondering what was wrong with him, and they all listened quietly.

"In legend, the eighty-eight constellations in the sky correspond to eighty-eight of the most powerful warriors on earth. These warriors are there to protect love and justice; their fists can tear through the sky, their legs can cleave the earth, and they possess invincible power. You are very familiar with their names—they are the Saints!! This is why I named the King of the Kingdom of Chambord's Royal Guard the Saint... Now look closely, in the distance in the northern sky, the constellation of ninety-six bright stars of varying brightness looks like a Golden Lion roaring with its head raised, doesn't it?"

Following the direction Sun Fei pointed, they indeed saw a dazzling star field. If they tried to imagine it carefully, the combination of stars in this star field, just as His King had said, truly resembled a Golden Lion roaring to the sky.

"This constellation is the legendary Golden Leo."

Sun Fei turned around, looked at the group, and finally fixed his gaze on Lampard. He continued, "The warrior corresponding to the Golden Leo is the Leo Saint. Legend has it that the Teeth of the Golden Lion can crush any enemy, and the fists of the Golden Leo warrior are filled with the power of lightning!"

At this point, Sun Fei gently stretched out his hand, and a black iron box engraved with a lion pattern suddenly appeared out of thin air at the top of the tower. Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Sun Fei personally opened the box, revealing a lifelike black steel lion poised to pounce. It exuded an unparalleled domineering aura. Upon closer inspection, the group realized that this steel lion was actually composed of ninety-six armor pieces of different shapes. Although it was an inanimate object, it gave the impression of being alive, as if a truly powerful lion were charging towards them.

" Leo Cloth, Frank, this Cloth exists specifically for you. Wear it, and you will feel the power of the Leo constellation in the heavens!"

Before Sun Fei could finish speaking, something miraculous happened—

The Leo Cloth before him had actually come to life, emitting a strange power and soaring into the air. At the same time, Lampard seemed to be drawn by this power, and without activating his Dou Qi, he floated up slowly with his feet tethered. Suddenly, the black Cloth burst forth with a dazzling light, then automatically disintegrated into ninety-six scattered parts, which flew towards Lampard and then, in order, donned his Lampard.

boom--!

The moment his feet touched the ground, the entire giant tower trembled.

The prison warden Oleg and the Heng and Ha Generals, Drogba and his two henchmen, stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with utter shock.

Before their eyes, Lampard was completely enveloped in a strangely designed suit of armor. His fingers, palms, wrists, forearms, upper arms, shoulders, head, back, waist, chest, abdomen, groin, thighs, knees, calves, ankles, and feet—almost every part of his body was perfectly protected by ninety-six armor pieces. The design of each piece was beyond imagination, providing adequate protection without hindering movement. They had never imagined that such perfect armor existed in the world; it was simply unbelievable.

Lampard himself was stunned.

He felt an unprecedented sense of comfort and power. The armor seemed to contain a magical power connected to his own bloodline, and it merged with his body almost instantly upon putting it on. Far from feeling the heaviness and obstruction of ordinary armor, it was incredibly flexible, as if it were a part of his own body.

powerful!

That's the only feeling Lampard got from this Cloth.

Sun Fei, the director of this pretentious script, was also stunned, because he heard that long-lost, mysterious, and cold voice explaining the strange scene that had just occurred.

I'm very frustrated and sorry that this photo is an hour late.

I've been trying to adjust my lifestyle and go to bed earlier at night, but it seems like a cycle has begun, and I'm back to staying up late.

Feeling ashamed, I also felt an unprecedented sense of defeat. I felt like a coward, setting goals for myself time and time again, living a perfect life, but unable to stick to them.

I'm just rambling on and expressing my feelings. I hope it hasn't affected anyone's mood; it's just an interaction between friends.
