The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Remove your hand from the hilt!"

Irileth held the sword and called the demon hunter. Zelin turned around and saw the captain of the guard looking at him vigilantly. The scarlet eyes of the dark elf were full of vigilance and hostility. The surrounding Snowman pedestrians stopped one after another, stopping and watching, hoping to know what happened. However, the number of people who stopped is still very small. Guards catching criminals on the street is not a rare thing for residents. If you are in Rift Valley City, you can often see guards and thieves chasing by the window at night.

"Captain Irileth." Zelin glanced at the sword in the opponent's hand and her look. Then, he opened his hands. "I don't think I violated the laws of Skyrim. You need to hold the sword. Catch me."

"You..." The dark elf guard captain narrowed his eyes and looked up and down Zelin. After seeing Zelin's look not much different from ordinary people, and showing no abnormal tendency to attack, she gestured to the guards who had gathered around to help the captain disperse. This is at the gate of Snowman City, so too many guards and stopped pedestrians should not be blocked here. "You are still normal."

"Captain, is there anything weird about this?" Zelin asked back, "Do you want to see a madman holding a weapon and running to the residents of Snowman City to slaughter wantonly?"

"No..." Irileth's vigilance was relieved, but she still did not retract the weapon into the scabbard. "Come with me, I don't know when you came to Skyrim. Come with me, I have something. Must confirm with you."

In Irileth's eyes, since Zelin left Snowman with the ebony blade and went to the hall of the guards in Standal in the north, the guards were attacked by vampires and almost completely wiped out. Then they lost the news of the Ebony Blade. Farenga believes that sooner or later, they will get valuable clues. This weapon will inevitably control the unlucky guy who picked it up. However, after the Dawn Guard defeated the vampire, it did not spread. Come any bad news related to the ebony blade, until this weapon disappears from everyone's sight along with the mercenary who transported it.

Now, the weapon that had been missing for more than half a year and the mercenary carrying it suddenly appeared in Snowman City. Zelin made a simple scabbard for the ebony blade to prevent scratching himself. But the appearance of this weapon is too special. Irileth, who knows how much damage the ebony blade brought back then, can easily recognize this weapon, not to mention that it is only half a year, Irileth will not hunt the demon. The hunter's appearance is also forgotten.

"Well, I don't mind, Captain Irileth." Zelin didn't need to clashed with Xueman's guards, and he still had plenty of time. The assassin who was about to assassinate the emperor was lying quietly in his jacket pocket. "But please allow me to go to the mare banner and tell Isodalar that there is no need to bring food to the guest room this afternoon."

"There will be guards to help you carry the news." Irileth seemed to be worried whether Zelin would disappear without a trace again after leaving her sight range. "We need to confirm safety and be responsible for Snowman City. "

Zelin understood that Xueman was suffering from internal and external troubles. The two big families in the city are arguing with each other, and the Imperial Army and Storm Cloak outside the city are trying to seize the city, taking the most important geographical location and food production area. The demon hunter does not know how long Balgruf can remain neutral. With the increase in the number of troops, the storm cloak is likely to take the lead in launching a surprise attack, otherwise the food produced in the several territories in the hands of Ulfric will not support him. The army of China confronts the imperial army, which is continuously aided by energy sources.

It was Farenga who was in charge of the inspection. The palace mage took the opportunity to take some of the dragon’s blood from the Dragon Palace when he captured the dragon last time, and almost caused the angry dragon to spew out and burn to death. . But he obviously forgot the lesson of the last time, and wanted to try to study the ebony blade.

"I can be sure that this weapon should not have any effect on ordinary people now, otherwise our mercenary, your excellency, should be crazy, and no one can stay sensible under that terrible whisper." Farenga rubbed his hands. , Looking at the ebony blade placed on his desk, "I think I can try to study it. No one has ever been able to study magic artifacts under safe conditions. This is enough to be recorded in a book."

The bonfire was still burning in the Longxiao Palace, and the long tables on both sides of the hall were filled with various foods like Songard. However, compared with before, Longxiao Palace was much deserted. The two families of Zhan Kuang and Graymane disappeared from the hall, and the intensified contradictions made them unwilling to stand on the same occasion in public.

"Shut up, Farenga, your idea is too dangerous." Irileth coldly asked Farenga to remove his hand from the ebony blade.

"It's just a short while, Irileth, just a short while." Farenga also hopes to get a little research opportunity, but Zelin has already taken the ebony blade back in his hand.

"Have you found a way to purify this weapon? Congratulations." Irileth took the weapon back into the scabbard, and also signaled that the guards squatting at the gate of the palace mage laboratory can return to their posts. "I hope this weapon can be used for you With better value in your hands, how did you do it? Lord Balgruuf and I were unable to solve it in every possible way."

"Perhaps because of the sun-related artifact in the snow elf legend, the bow of Auriel." Zelin didn't know what was going on, the whispering lady Mephala suddenly fell silent, especially when he returned to his own world. After that, I haven’t said a word until now, "Now that bow is in the castle guarded by dawn, it may be Stendall’s blessing, so that I can be safe."

Compared with Standal, he believed in the goddess Meritelli more.

"We may be able to tell the lord that he does not need to consider the whereabouts of this weapon." Farenga explained to Zelin, "Lord Balgruuf has been worried about whether this weapon will be lost due to his negligence and fault. Go out and cause a terrible disaster."

"There is no need to disturb the lord. He has fallen asleep. He has not slept last night." Irileth shook his head. Afterwards, the captain of the guard looked at Zelin, "I didn't expect you to actually solve the trouble with this weapon... Maybe you can help Xueman solve another difficult problem. Your ability to do things is much better than I thought. "

"Sorry, sir." Zelin rebuffed politely. "I am going to Hafingal to take care of some things. I will not stay in the snow for a long time."

"You are going to Harfingar..." Irileth was not disappointed when he heard Zelin's reason for refusal. "Very well, this is the right commission for you. Think about it."

Chapter 861 Itinerary

Irileth hoped that Zelin could take a letter to Solitary City.

"Why me? Captain Irellath, you can send Snowman’s best soldiers to ride the best horse in the stables outside the city, day and night. It only takes a few days to reach the Solitary City. Submit the letter from Lord Balgruuf to General Turius."

"Insurance." Irileth said, "These days, there are many robbers blocking the road from Snowman City to Loristead."

"It just so happened that these robbers attacked the convoy of Loristed town to deliver food to Snowman, and the messenger sent by Lord Balgruuf." On the side, Balgruuf's spell advisor interjected, "even There is the Dragon Stone research report that I am going to send to Winterhold Academy." Farenga made an angry voice in his throat, but didn't know whether he cared about the transport convoy and the messenger or his own research files.

"Their goal is really interesting..." Zelin looked into Irileth's eyes "and they didn't attack ordinary pedestrians?"

"At this time, there are not many pedestrians in Xueman." Iriles shook his head. "They disappeared when the Xueman guards rushed for the suppression. In the past two days, Lord Balgruuf sent a messenger, but I was worried that the messenger could Do you arrive safely."

"What's more noteworthy is that all the intercepted messengers are going to the area controlled by the Imperial Army." Farenga added again. "The lord refuses the Imperial Army and the soldiers of the Stormcloak to enter the Snowman Neck, but none of us knows, they Whether you will pretend to be robbers, as long as you take off the clothes, no one knows which side they belong to. And the soldiers in the storm cloak... are all locals."

"Farenga!" Iriles interrupted the palace mage’s guess. Find a means to attack him in Longxiao Palace."

"I'm just... a personal guess." Farenja narrowed his neck and shivered. "If you can solve the group of gangsters, remember to help me pay attention to whether my research report is still in the goods they looted. Hmm, These Nords don’t know how to cherish the research results of scholars."

"I think I understand what you mean, Captain of the Guard." Zelin sighed softly. "A messenger, a messenger who can ensure that the letter is delivered?"

Zelin didn't think Irileth would help Lord Balgruf make such a decision. Taking the initiative to send a letter to Solitary City is tantamount to telling Ulfric's storm cloak that Snowman City is preparing to join the Imperial Army's camp, which will induce him to take the initiative to attack.

"I think your decision was too hasty, Captain of the Guard." Zelin said to Irileth. "Let a person who has only been hired once, with a letter that may determine the fate of Xueman, go to Solitary City? I can also take this Bring the letter to Windhelm City, put the storm cloak into an imperial army's clothes, and you can seize the city without blood."

"It's not only that." Irileth shook his head, "Lord Balgruuf can prevent the Imperial Army and the Stormcloak from entering the territory of Snowman..."

"So they will pretend to be robbers..." Farenga murmured, and after being glared at by Irileth, he closed his mouth immediately.

"Xueman's soldiers promised not to take the initiative to attack the Imperial Army and Stormcloak, but we will eliminate the bandits in the Xueman collar to ensure the safety of roads and pedestrians."

"But as soon as our soldiers left the city, they disappeared without a trace..."

"Farenga! I think you should have a new experiment to deal with." Irileth interrupted the palace mage's complaint.

"Oh, yes, yes, I do have experiments..." Farenga rubbed her hands and walked to the lobby "but I think I'd better eat something hot, this **** weather."

"So... I guess it's a messenger and a guard." Zelin folded his hands on his chest and frowned slightly. Depart from the city, the important messenger to the Solitary City." The demon hunter was silent for a while, "Captain Irileth, I can always get a challenging commission in the Longxiao Palace."

"You will be paid accordingly. I know what you have done in the war with vampires. There are rumors that you have helped the sharp-eyed eagle? This commission is very troublesome. We don't know the specific number of them, but I think you With the strength to complete it, there is only you in Snowman City now." Iriles is on the table with both hands. "When the attack occurs, Snowman's guards will arrive at the fastest speed, and people will think that they have received the Holy Spirit. The asylum of the people seems to have been informed before the attack."

"I don't need gold, Captain Irileth, or sophisticated enchanted weapons and armor." Zelin stretched out a finger. "But I have a friend. She does business in... Cyrodir, but she I really want to have some trade relations with the realm of Skyrim. Don’t ask me why, she is a businessman, I am a fighter, and we are friends, but it doesn’t mean that I know what she thinks."

"Friends?"

"A very good friend, so I plan to do her a favor." Zelin opened his hands. "It is precisely because of this that I returned to Skyrim again. After all, the Civil War has discouraged many people." This can explain why the Demon Hunter Will disappear and reappear in Skyrim after half a year. Because he returned to Cyrodir some time ago, and now he is back to Skyrim because of his friends.

"I understand." Irileth nodded. "Lord Balgruuf will also be willing to talk to business friends. If your friend can provide iron ore and leather, I think the lord will be happy to sign a contract with her. Yours Where is the friend? Mare banner?"

"No, she is in Rift Valley City, near the border of Cyrodir." Zelin said naturally. After that, it just stopped."

"I see. When your friend is about to come, remember to notify me."

"When will I leave?" Zelin put the question on the commission again. "Today? Tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow morning, I will ask the guards to inform you."

After discussing with Captain Irileth, the captain of the guard went to the second floor of the Dragon Palace to notify Lord Balgruuf, and Zelin returned to the mare banner to prepare for tomorrow's itinerary. He took out his telescope by the way, and found a place where no one noticed, connecting with Francesca. Out of the conservation of chaotic energy, this is just voice communication.

Chapter 862 Deteriorating

"You, what did you say you did?"

On the other side of the telescope, Francesca’s voice paused. Zelin didn’t know if it was because the communication was affected, or because the elves on the other side were sorting out the meaning of his words, "What did you do?" , Just before Selana and I were away for half a day?"

"It's nothing, I just prepared to go to Solitary City and accepted the commission." Although the process and the content of the commission are a bit unusual, it is not important. The important thing is that Zelin can help Francesca get a suitable identity in Skyrim. And the reason for negotiation. As long as the elf can successfully reach a certain agreement with Lord Balgruf in Snowman City, she and the other realms of Skyrim can rationalize their identity and behavior with the same reasons and explanations.

It is impossible for Francesca not to realize the benefits.

"I see...thank you."

After disconnecting the telescope communication, Francesca sat by the campfire in the temporary camp they prepared for the night and sighed softly. Serrana, who was playing around with the bonfire, turned her head, the vampire look showed that she didn't understand how the elf felt now.
