Diablo traveled through time and became a necromancer

"Adventurers, welcome home." Arriving at the gates of Rogue City, the two sisters I'd seen the other day weren't guarding the gates. It seemed like there were still quite a few people on duty. I wondered what those two sisters were doing when they weren't on guard.

I strolled slowly through Rogge City with Leah, who pointed out the various buildings. She was incredibly familiar with Rogge's people and affairs, a true native of the Dark World. Despite the demonic threat, even the lowest commoners still needed to farm to provide food; otherwise, who would fight demons if they starved to death? The buildings in the Dark World were quite well-built, though compact, yet beautiful. They resembled medieval towns in foreign countries.

"Brother Wu, what are you daydreaming about? Come on and catch up! We're almost at my house!" Leah was holding Wu Ye's hand and running towards a blacksmith shop.

Wu Ye followed Leah's footsteps and was brought, or rather dragged, to the blacksmith shop where her father worked.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!" As he approached the blacksmith shop, he gradually heard the sound of iron hammering inside. It was very crisp. But to be honest, this was Wu Ye's first time seeing a blacksmith shop, and he was really curious about what it was like to be a blacksmith. Also, the blacksmiths in Diablo 2 only forged blue equipment. But Wu Ye remembered it very clearly. Rogge had a blacksmith named Qiasi, who seemed to be a female barbarian. After completing her quest, she would help players forge a golden equipment with a blank equipment. This was very magical. Could it be that the blacksmith hammer that he helped her retrieve was really that powerful? But why did she still only sell blue and white equipment?

"Dad! I'm back!" Leah shouted loudly to her old father who was working as a blacksmith.

"Ding!" Leah's father, who was forging iron, stopped hammering.

"Oh! My little darling, you are finally back! I heard the guard at the door say that you went out with a strange man, and I thought something had happened! I was scared to death, but luckily you came back safely. If I see that man, I will definitely press his head on the iron felt and hit him hard! Let him know the consequences of kidnapping my daughter!" The old father, who obviously only had his daughter in his eyes, did not notice Wu Ye behind Leah.

Wu Ye was also sweating profusely. What was this? Fatherly love was too heavy! He touched his head. This was not a good thing to knock on!

"Dad! What are you talking about! I'm back safely! And Brother Wu is a very nice person. I've been promoted to level two! And I also got a blue staff! Look!" As she said that, Liya took off the blue staff from her body and handed it to her father.

After hearing Leah's explanation, he took the blue staff and glanced at Wu Ye behind Leah.

"Hahaha! Sorry, young man! Look at my mouth, sorry! Don't take what I just said seriously. I'll ask Leah's mother to make us something delicious when we get home, and we'll have a couple of drinks." Leah's father said embarrassedly. Then he put down the blacksmith hammer in his hand. This also made Wu Ye breathe a sigh of relief. Good guy, if Leah's father was a professional, then this hammer, plus the bonus of strength. Even if the blacksmith hammer only had 1-1 damage, it would still knock him half to death.

"No, it's okay. I understand. After all, he loves his daughter dearly! Actually, she's not as powerful as Leah says. I have to thank Leah for accompanying me through this training. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to handle it!" Wu Ye also gave a commercial compliment. After all, complimenting someone can increase your favorability without losing any weight, so why not do it?

"You have good vision, kid! Leah has been smart since she was young. Let's put it this way, after I finish making this equipment, I will take you to our home to sit down." Then he returned the staff to Leah, picked up the blacksmith hammer and started forging again.

Then Leah pulled Wu Ye to sit on a chair in the blacksmith shop and talked about her father.

During the conversation with Leah, Wu Ye learned some stories and the names of Leah's father and mother: her father's name was Jordan and her mother's name was Mia.

Leah's father, Jordan, is a level 32 paladin. Because of some things, he ended his adventuring career and returned to Rogue City to become a blacksmith. But as a paladin, he still has faith after all. When he went to the church to pray, he met Leah's mother, Mia.

I don't know how it happened, but they just fell in love. Then they got together, and then Mia was born.

"Uncle is a man with a story to tell, but I think being a blacksmith is pretty good too. Not only does it bring in income, but it also allows me to help those who come to buy equipment. Besides, he even helps farmers forge low-cost ironware. He's such a good man." Wu Ye thought, hoping to learn the blacksmith's skills in the future. Maybe he could even forge his own Dark Gold equipment!

"That's right, Dad's a really nice guy. But you can look forward to dinner tonight! I'll let you taste my mother's homemade delicacies. This is the key to my father and mother's relationship." After a while, Wu Ye carefully sorted through the monster drops again. However, he discovered something: after the level increased, the backpack capacity also increased, from 1 square meter to 5 square meters! Super double! What a useful improvement.

Wu Ye stood up and walked towards the display case inside the blacksmith shop. He was amazed at the equipment displayed there. There was even high-end stuff like white plate scale armor. Even the base material for scale armor wasn't available until Act II. Uncle Jordan was truly amazing.

"Huh, finally done. Even though it's just a blank longsword, it's in pretty good condition. The durability and damage will be improved." Uncle Jordan hung the longsword on the display stand. He then took off his apron and changed into normal clothes.

"Let's go! Brother Wu, I'll lead the way!" Leah stood up, took Wu Ye's hand and walked quickly towards the door. Uncle Jordan saw this and couldn't help but shook his head. He thought, "Girls can't be kept here when they grow up." Then he changed his clothes and followed.

After about ten minutes, Wu Ye couldn't remember how many houses he had walked past, how many streets he had walked through, and how many dogs he had seen. But Leah finally stopped.

"Brother Wu! We're home!" Leah said, pointing to a three-story wooden building. Wu Ye looked around carefully. Comparing them, he realized this wooden building was indeed different from the surrounding buildings. After all, compared to the other houses, this one looked like a skinny one and a fat one. As expected of Uncle Jordan, with a level 32 deposit, buying a large house wasn't a problem.

"Liya, your house is so big! Uncle Jordan is really amazing! He can actually live in such a big house." Wu Ye couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seems that owning your own house is also very important in the dark world. Otherwise, how will you get married and have children in the future? I just don't know if it is more expensive to buy a house like this or build one.

"Liya, you're back. Who is this?" A very young woman emerged from the room. It was obvious, without a doubt, that this was Leah's mother. After all, they looked so much alike. But Leah was only a few years younger than him, so how could his mother look so young? Do women in the dark world age slowly? This question deserves further investigation. But then he thought, humans are a combination of angels and demons. It wasn't surprising.

"Mom! I'm back! This is Brother Wu. Let's go in first and I'll tell you slowly about my adventures with Brother Wu these days." Leah said as she took her mother's hand and walked into the house.

At this time, Uncle Jordan patted Wu Ye on the shoulder and motioned him to follow.

Wu Ye couldn't help but smile bitterly as he watched the family of three. His own parents had long since passed away. It felt so good to have family around. Then, he followed Uncle Jordan into the house.

As Leah gave her vivid explanation, various expressions appeared on Leah's mother's face, including surprise, worry, and more concern and love.

"Then, I took Brother Wu to my dad's blacksmith shop. My dad was angry and said he would hit Brother Wu's head on the iron felt!" As he said that, he stuck out his tongue at Wu Ye, indicating that he was being naughty again.

After hearing this, Leah's mother Mia glared at Uncle Jordan who was sitting next to her. It seemed that Uncle Jordan might not be able to go to bed tonight.

"Wu Ye, thank you for taking good care of our Leah. If you hadn't taken good care of her, I wonder how much she would have complained. Please take good care of our Leah in the future." Leah's mother gave Wu Ye a strange look, as if the words between the lines were about to sell her daughter.

Wu Ye was also stunned. This!? Did this get Leah's mother's approval? He clearly had no such thoughts. But what exactly did it mean? He would have to verify it himself later.

After finishing her conversation with her daughter, Leah's mother dragged Uncle Jordan into the house. Then, with a bang, the door closed. It was unclear what the two were discussing.
