The Journey of the Demon Hunter

Selana's mother wanted to stop her father, Hakon, if it was only to seal the ancient scrolls, it would be reasonable, but why should her daughter be sealed together with the ancient scrolls. Unless Selana itself is related to a link in the Hakon plan, and this link will threaten Selana's safety. Now, after returning to Hakon’s castle, this young vampire flees with the Elder Scrolls. It is clear that Selana’s mother failed to persuade Hakon to give up the plan after sealing the Elder Scrolls and her daughter.

"You must have taken a great risk when you came here. Whether it's a vampire or a dawn guard, it's your enemy."

"Yes, that's why I thought of you. It seems that I should have made no mistakes." After some entanglement, Serana still gave up the bread cubes in front of them. "I need your help. If they can believe a vampire, please. , I need you to convince them."

"I will try my best."

Serrana's situation is very bad. She is a vampire now, but Zelin believes that she is much safer in the Dawn Guardian castle than in the Wakihara vampire family, even though the latter is her home. Few of the Dawn Guardians knew that a vampire visitor had arrived in their castle. Only Zelin and Eslan knew about them, and even Seran and Durak, these two first came to Dawn Keeper’s Fort with Eslan. None of the members know anything about it.

"So, can you tell me the reason not to kill her?"

Eslan stayed in the castle, and Ganmar was tame the trolls and armed them as war trolls to fight against vampires. Celan is at the other end of the castle, in a training ground, teaching several newcomers how to use long swords and crossbows. After all, these people were almost all farmers or shepherds before they came to Dawn Canyon. They only wielded wood axes and sticks in their hands. At most, there are a few hunters who can use bows and arrows. If these people are allowed to fight against vampires with spells and combat experience without training, they will undoubtedly be sent to death.

"She has very important news to tell us about her father Hakon's plan. We have no reason to regard her as an enemy anymore." Zelin leaned against the guardrail on the second floor of the hall and explained to Islan." If it's just for her daughter to act as an internal response, and eliminate the Dawn Guardian at one time, she doesn't need to bring the Elder Scrolls with her."

Zelin asked Serana to stay in the room temporarily, and she seemed happy that she didn't have to stay in the small and dirty interrogation room.

"So, what are your thoughts."

"Serana told me that her Elder Scrolls contain clues that can defeat Hakon, but we must find someone who can interpret the Elder Scrolls." Zelin has little knowledge of the Elder Scrolls, and it seems that such scrolls cannot be used in a conventional way. To watch, there must be a specific person or a special method to interpret "She mentioned the holy moth sacrifice, do you know what it is?"

"Those scholars from the imperial capital...If she is looking for a holy moth sacrifice, there is good news. A few days ago, I noticed a group of convoys from the imperial capital when I was at the guard tower, and there was a holy moth sacrifice inside."

"Very good, which means we don't need to spend two months in the Imperial Capital to find someone."

"It's not us, it's you." Islan shook his head. "I won't let my soldiers put down their work and look for a sacrifice in the entire sky because of a vampire's rhetoric. The war situation is not optimistic. To the east, I have lost several brave warriors. If you are willing to trust him, you can help her. If there is a result, please tell me. If there is no result, don’t let me see any vampire in the Dawn Guard Castle. ."

"I know" Zelin understood Islan's thoughts. The power of the Dawn Guard was still at a disadvantage when confronting the vampire. He could not make any mistakes and pin all his hopes of victory on a vampire who suddenly appeared. It’s not something a commander would do. It’s just a gambler. "But if I find the holy moth sacrifice..."

"Then let him guard the castle at dawn. The Elder Scrolls will be safe here."

Chapter 291 Rift Valley City

"I heard you and your friend... You quarreled? Is it about me?"

"Don't worry about it, it's not a quarrel. Do you have any thoughts about the holy moth sacrifice?"

Serana seems to be worried about the differences between Zelin and Eslan that her appearance has caused. After all, she wants to get the help of the Dawn Guardian, but she is a vampire, even if Zelin refuses for the relationship with the Dawn Guardian It's no surprise to help her.

Fortunately, the demon hunter chose to believe her. Zelin believed that the time spent with Selana from Snowman to Solitary City could prove that Selana was worthy of trust.

Sitting on Dulac's carriage, Zelin and Serana were leaving Dawn Canyon and heading towards Rift Valley City. The orc was driving a horse in front of them, counting on the cost of transporting supplies this time. Most of the supplies for the Dawn Guardian come from hunting and fishing. The lake under the waterfall in the canyon and the deer outside the canyon can provide enough food for the soldiers stationed here, but some things can not be obtained by simple hunting. .

For example, the iron ore of the Dawn Guardian armor and crossbow arrows, and the honey wine that nourishes the spirit.

"If I were a scholar, I would consider Winterhold College." Serrana gave her suggestion "We can go to the college to see."

"Islane suggested that I ask the coachman or the innkeeper. No matter where the holy moth is worshipped, he must stay and hire a carriage."

"So where are you going first? Ask the coachman? The innkeeper? Or to Winterhold College first?"

"Why can't you do it at the same time?" Zelin shrugged. "I have a friend at Winterhold College. I can write to her. In Solitude, I also have a friend I know, and the messenger will take my letter there. The Holy Moth Sacrifice is a scholar from the imperial capital, I think he will definitely not settle down in Windhelm City."

Zelin counted the people he could ask for help, and the corresponding countermeasures. "As for the innkeeper, I know the innkeeper in Snowman City. No matter where the holy moth priest plans to go, there are only Snowman City and Windhelm City. There are two roads to go. As for the eastern border, I might ask Hadling, the owner of the night gate inn. If you want to leave the eastern border, you must either go to the winter fort or pass through the rolling mountain pass. There will be no third way. ."

Apart from the letter to Virginia, Zelin intends to write a letter to the sharp-eyed eagles stationed in Dragon Bridge. As the eyes and ears of the empire in Skyrim, the news will definitely be more informed than some innkeepers.

Moreover, as a scholar who can interpret the Elder Scrolls, the Demon Hunter does not think that his appearance will make vampires blind. Even the vampires of the Wakihara family can't read the Elder Scrolls, so in order to complete Hakon's plan, they need a holy moth sacrifice.

"Then what are we going to do next?"

"All we need to do is go to Rift Valley City with Dulac and ask the coachman there if a scholar from the Imperial Capital has hired a coach for him."

The rushing river gurgled under the bridge and slapped on the piers. The foam was flying around, looking like long, thin white beards. The jagged edge of the rock wall became blurred in the mist, and the water flow hit the rock wall with a heavy roar.

The messenger happened to be in Solitude, and Zelin saw him from the Honey and Poet Tavern. As before, the messenger took the letter, asked where it was going, and drank a few glasses of wine and walked out of the tavern. The Demon Hunter has been surprised by Skyrim's messenger more than once. Even in the richest area of ​​Novigrad, King Wizmir II did not even establish such an effective communication structure.

As for the coachman, he said that a month ago, a scholar from Cyrodir did hire a coach in Rift Valley, and there were also a few mercenaries to **** him. But a month has passed, if this holy moth sacrifice does not stop, he may have reached any place in the sky.

"Aren't you going back to the Castle of Dawn now?"

Dulac moved the last box of heavy iron ingots to the truck, clapped his hands, and asked Zelin. The addition of a large number of recruits has made the iron ingots in the Dawn Guardian castle become in short supply. When fighting against vampires, the role of armor may not be too obvious, but a few pieces of iron and hard leather on the body can always make people. Feel at ease.

And the war trolls, these special warriors, Dawn Guardian Gamal knows how to tame these powerful beasts. These trolls have the power of a brown bear and terrifying resilience. As long as there is no suppression by the flames, the wounds on the trolls can be destroyed. The rate of recovery visible to the naked eye. More importantly, these powerful beasts will not be confused by vampires, and will not be infected with blood-sucking fever in battle.

But the price is that armed with iron ingots consumed by a troll can make three sets of dawn guard armor, plus dozens of crossbow arrows.

"I got clues related to vampires. Anyway, I should check it out."

Dulac has been running around for the Dawn Guard during this time, buying supplies, recruiting personnel, and it can be seen that this orc warrior has devoted all his energy to the dawn after his two wives were killed by the vampires. In the career of guarding, he recently recruited a powerful orc warrior near the Rift Valley.

The recruited orc warrior is already very old, but decades of life have given him a strong fighting power. He believes that the orcs should die on the battlefield instead of dying on the bed, so he is close to Selo Look for an opponent near Dill's Rift Valley that can defeat him. It wasn't until Dulac told him that the Dawnguard needed soldiers to fight against powerful vampires that the orc warriors gave up the idea of ​​letting themselves die in a duel.

"Well, I don't know what the clue is, but you must be careful. Vampires have many ways to deal with humans. Warriors with strong minds may also be confused by their eyes."

"Thank you for your warning."

In the next few days, Zelin didn't go everywhere looking for news about the holy moth sacrifice. He stayed in Rift Valley City, waiting for a reply to be written. There is also the Dragonborn. Gnaiya said that she is learning Dragon Roar very quickly. It may not be long before Zelin can see her in the Rift Valley. In any case, going to the Dawn to guard the castle will inevitably go through the Rift Valley.

As for the Dragonborn.

In the village of Inisted under the Hogarth Peak, the villagers saw the Throat of the World above their heads covered by dark clouds during the day. Lightning replaced the wind and snow on the mountain all day long, and the light that struck the sky even made the sky. All were discolored, and what was mixed in the lightning was a roar like thunder. The villagers couldn't tell what it was, the real thunder? Or the roar of the ancient dragon?

The bizarre sight lasted for a long time before disappearing, as quickly as lightning and clouds appeared.

Some people say that he saw two giant dragons fighting in the air. Others said that it was the dragonborn fighting the dragon. The huge roar sounded like the gray beard summoning the dragonborn. It spread all over the sky. Alduin was huge black. The figure reappeared in the sky of the sky. Let the struggling people recall the story mentioned in the prophecy again. And the ancient Nordic poems that had been sung for a long time began to reappear in the mouths of the bards.

The razor in the abyss was released, and the dragon descended from the sky; the sorrow of ice and snow could not be forgotten, and the sawtooth crown crowned the king.

PS: Civilization 6, after a few more rounds, I will go to the second watch.

Chapter 292 Thief

After seven days of waiting. The letter written by Zelin received a reply. I have to be impressed with the efficiency and ability of the messenger.

"The people in this city are nervous...it makes me nervous..."

Serrana’s feeling is right. Any outsider who comes to Rift Valley will feel uncomfortable when a good person comes to Rift Valley. The Blackthorn family controls most of Rift Valley’s industries and areas, whether it is wineries and shops in the city or manors outside the city. As with mines, and in cities, the effect of the law may be limited to the areas near the misty fortresses of the civilians and lords who keep their feet safe. And this family is not known for charity and kindness, the name of Blackthorn is always accompanied by chaos and blood.

The night in the Rift Valley is extremely dangerous. Zelin booked two rooms for herself and Serana on the second floor of the Honey and Poet Hotel. When night fell, Zelin leaned in front of the window and could see the ghosts on the street. Sneaky figures, they haunt near the houses, or go to the market without knowing what to do. As a tavern, Honey and Poet is right in the center of Rift Valley City, allowing the demon hunters to see many corners of the city at night and what is happening in those corners.

Zelin sighed as he listened to the shouts and footsteps of the street downstairs. In the first few days, he was still wary of such noises, but now, he is used to night guards catching thieves who are found theft. There are many thieves in this city. After all, this is the place where the Thieves Guild is located. Gnaiya mentioned to the Demon Hunter that there is a place called Rat Road in Rift Valley City. It is located underground in the city and is a winding road. , Many vagrants and criminals live there. To put it bluntly, there is a barren zone in Rift Valley City.

"How many replies did you receive?"

"Two letters, from Xueman and Yemen Inn."

Zelin was originally worried that the vampire lady who often lives in the castle and sleeps in the coffin may not be used to lying in the wooden simple house, sleeping on the hard wooden bed, and there are some things she might have used as food. Human. However, it seems that Selana has been restrained very well. She has always stayed quietly in her room, or came to ask about the situation when the messenger appeared, and sometimes complained about the city and the glare of the sun. Sentence.

"Is there any news about the holy moth sacrifice?"
