Chapter 79: Chapter 78 – To The Grave

It turns out both of them are fighting over a skeletal leg which is the very same semi-legendary item that drops from the corpse of Bishibosh in the Den of the Fallen. When searching the corpse, Valla finds the leg and wants to modify it into a weapon but Kharazim is against it as it is a human leg and it should lay buried with its owner. A few rounds of arguing with different views and a fight broke out between them.

Shang’s thoughts: Oh, man…

Shang thinks as he does a facepalm after hearing their explanations. In the end, Wirt’s Original Leg and the remains of Bishibosh are kept with Shang so that they have nothing to fight about.

While moving towards the second entrance, Eucliwood detects something strange from a location and stops the group.

The group moves to the location where Eucliwood have detected and finds a bundle that is wrapped heavily with cloth.

Shang: So this must be what Haedrig’s apprentice has dropped.

Shang says as he unwraps the bundle.

Shang: This is…

The group returns to the surface after that.

With Shang’s guidance, the group reaches the Cemetery of the Forsaken and finishes the mission they are supposed to completed. Upon returning, Shang does the activation for the Waypoint and the group returns to New Tristram.

During evening in New Tristram…

Haedrig is drinking together with Shang in The Slaughters Country Inn where no one is currently around and Bron is taking a break in the kitchen.

Haedrig: I am not sure whether I should thank or hate you.

Haedrig says as he takes a sip from his mug.

Shang: Both sounds like praise to me.

Haedrig:....

Shang: Do you hate your grandfather that much?

Shang had managed to convince the astral guardian of Leoric’s crown Chancellor Eamon to come along with them, giving him a sword which known as The Grandfather to be his vessel. Haedrig was not happy when he heard from Cain that his dead grandfather is back home and Shang had to take him out for a drink.

Haedrig: if it wasn’t for him, my father wouldn’t have died and I wouldn’t be here!

Haedrig slams his mug on the table.

There were rumors in Caldeum that Chancellor Eamon is the one behind the madness of King Leoric. These rumors caused the refugees from Tristram to storm Eamon Manor and kill the people who are living in there. Haedrig is the only one who survived.

Shang: But If it wasn’t for him, you would not have meet Mira, right?

Haedrig:...

Haedrig is silent as he knows Shang was right. If it wasn’t for the massacre in Eamon Manor, He wouldn’t have met his future wife in the outskirts of Kurast and traveled the world with her.

Shang’s thoughts: The massacre of Eamon Manor was not really your grandfather’s fault. It is actually the part of Belial’s plan to cripple the nation and your father happen to be on his blacklist.

Shang thinks as he continues to drink with Haedrig.

While Shang is chatting with Haedrig, there is a conversation scene inside Cain’s house.

????: Because of my selfishness, I lost my family.

The head of the ghastly figure speaks while floating above a sword which is placed on the table in front of Deckard.

Cain: What’s done is done, old friend. There is nothing you can do about it.

Cain says while sitting on his chair.

Cain: If you had not locked yourself in your tomb with the crown, we would not have a way to end King Leoric once and for all.

Eamon: And rewarded with the hatred of my grandson… Now I am not sure whether it was worth doing it.

Cain: At least you got a Vecin Mystic as your granddaughter-in-law.

Vecin mystics are blessed with the Sight which give them magical visions.

Eamon: So what if she has the Sight… she can’t even use it to save herself when she was being infected. If your successor wasn’t around, Haedrig probably had to kill her himself.

Cain: But things have not come to worst.

Eamon: Yes, They have not. That reminds me about your new ward. She seems to be at the age of marriage. Have you pick anyone for her?

Eamon says as he notices a presence near one of the house’s window and looks at that direction.

Cain: Not yet. I don’t see anyone suitable for her.

Cain looks at the direction where Eamon is looking.

Eamon: How about your successor?

Cain: Shang? I might consider it if he passed my tests with flying colors.

The presence disappears after hearing Cain's answer.

Eamon looks back at the Cain.

Cain: She is gone?

Eamon: Yes, she is.

Cain: It seems Leah knows I am hiding things from her. I wonder how long I can keep them?

Eamon: To the grave, old friend?

Cain: Probably, to the grave.
