The Journey of the Demon Hunter

Solina should be still at the supply station of Morningstar, and with her help at that time, it is estimated that the holy moth priest will come to the Rift Valley safely.

For safety, Zelin will go to Snowman City with Serana and the dragonborn girl who is about to come to the Rift Valley to wait for the holy moth priest. After all, if the vampire really intends to forcibly kidnap the priest, it will be difficult for the warriors of the dawn guard to resist the vampire's offensive in the night and the wilderness.

I feel once again that the sharp-eyed eagle's ability to do things is worthy of being the emperor's personal guard. I don't know if the Dark Brotherhood lair they are investigating recently has eyebrows. Apart from the holy moth sacrifice, there is one more thing in the letter, that is, His Majesty the Emperor may take a boat to Skyrim Province within two months. I hope that Zelin can return to Hafingal and serve as the emperor's **** for the time being.

Although Ms. Victoria Vicky’s marriage stabilized many Nordic nobles, the tenaciousness of the storm cloak exceeded the expectations of Solitary City. Most of the elites brought by General Turius from the imperial capital were trapped in the harsh mountains and snow of Morningstar City. In the middle, Emperor Titus Maid II seems to want to get more lords to join by coming to Skyrim, especially Snowman City.

The letter also mentioned that if Zelin knew the whereabouts of the dragonborn, he would notify the sharp-eyed eagle as soon as possible, and they would pay enough.

Of course, it is impossible for the Demon Hunter to sell the Dragonborn news in exchange for rewards, but this made Zelin think of another thing. As a new empire that replaced the Septim dynasty with the blood of the dragonborn, the emperor of the Maid dynasty would have an attitude towards a dragonborn who suddenly appeared and possessed high prestige among the Nords of Skyrim.

Although Zelin is unwilling to participate in political affairs, his life experience over the past century has allowed him to see many common dramas, and it is not uncommon for him to add luster to his family's blood. Moreover, the Dragonborn itself can be used as a banner, whether it is for the emperor to stabilize the empire or is borrowed by others to oppose the emperor.

Taking into account what Gneia has said, Greybeard will send an invitation in her own name, hoping that Ulfric Stormcloak and General Turius will come to the Hogarth Peak at the same time, and sign the temporary agreement before Greybeard’s mediation. At that time, as a reason to persuade the two sides to face the Dragon’s Calamity and Alduin together, the Dragonborn must appear in the peace negotiations.

Maybe Zelin must tell Gnaiya that she must be careful. If the sharp-eyed eagle also focused on the Dragonborn, I am afraid it will be difficult for her to remain incognito in Skyrim.

Regarding emotion and reason, Zelin had no reason not to help Gnaiya.

After putting away the letter, Zelin returned to the second floor and came to Serana's room. Miss Vampire is in good spirits, she does not look sleepy, but it is more likely because the living habits of vampires are completely different from those of humans. After listening to the holy moth sacrifice, Serana rarely showed a look of joy.

"Very well, at least we are ahead of my father."

"Since the Elder Scrolls belong to you, then you should know about the Elder Scrolls."

"No...well, I mean, just like ordinary people, as little as everyone else knows." Serrana shook her head. "I have been locked up with it for thousands of years, but in fact I know what the Elder Scrolls are. No more than others. But surely my father can know no more than me."

Zelin noticed that Selana mentioned her father in almost every sentence.

"You are terrified of your father, don't you, Selana?"

"I, he is my father and the leader of Wakiraha. You won't imagine how powerful he is."

"If you still have fear in your heart, Serrana, you will never dare to stand on the opposite side of your father. When you finally face him, fear will prevent you from fighting." When Zelin hasn't really become a hunter. When the Demon Hunter, he was told that if fear grabs your heart, you will never be able to face the enemy. It doesn’t matter how badly you are frustrated in the battle with monsters, but once you have fear of a monster, when you face the same monster again, the demon hunter caught by fear is no different from ordinary people. .

"Thank you for your words, I will think of you when I want psychological counseling."

Regardless of Selana’s reaction, Zelin came just to inform her, "We are waiting to come to the Rift Valley probably tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. At that time, we will set off to Snowman City and meet the dawn guards who escorted the holy moth priests. ."

"I will be ready."

Chapter 295 Before the Storm

"General, Ulfric is probably about to start taking action against Snowman City."

The gentle night breeze blew across the Solitary City, which stood under the top of the mountain, and disappeared into the neatly symmetrical streets and alleys. Fast flowing clouds block the moon from time to time, making the phosphorescence looming on the water at the pier outside the city. In Doyle Castle, the lighted candles and dazzling white light made the atmosphere in the castle extremely depressing. The battle reports on the battlefield exacerbated this dull atmosphere.

"He is still crazy, but he has no one to use."

General Turius, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army in the Skyrim Province, stared at the map laid in front of him, marking the strategic positions of the Imperial Army and the storm cloak in red and blue. The blue and red are exactly centered on the snowman, dividing the entire sky in two. Since Ulfric escaped from Helgen, the battle in Skyrim has left the white-haired general with wrinkles on his forehead.

"But my spies didn't say that. They reported that Nords from all over the world join his army every day. Morningstar, Winterhold and Rift Valley have always stood firmly on his side." On the other side of the strategy table. , The representative of the empire in the province of Skyrim, Governor Ruiji can always bring a lot of bad news to General Turius, but it is also true news.

The battle in Morningstar City was stuck in a stalemate, Hogarth Peak blocked Falkreath’s way to the Rift Valley, and Snowman City did not allow any imperial troops to enter the territory. The entire Skyrim was in a deadlock, but Ulfric's power increased day by day. The army of the Imperial Legion in Skyrim is almost limited to the Hafingar, but for the Stormcloak, the Nords of the entire Skyrim province can become their recruits.

"This is not a career, this is just a rebellion!"

Turius backed his hands and paced back and forth at the strategic table. Governor Ruiji on the opposite side seemed to have taken care of her boss’s request for words. She put her gaze back to the location of Snowman City on the map, "Whatever you want. What do you call it, General, Ulfric is about to take action against Snowman City."

"Balgruuf..."

"Lord Balgruuf refused to allow the Imperial Legion to be stationed near Snowman City. On the other hand, he still refused to recognize Ulfric's power."

With a sigh, Turius stopped, and angrily clicked on Snowman City on the map, "If Balgruuf refuses the help of the Imperial Legion, let the storm cloak attack his city!"

"General?" Governor Ruiji raised his head and expressed strangeness to General Turius's angry speech. But Turius seems to have really decided like this

"Your people still have those **** Nordic traditions..."

"General! You can't force a Nord to accept help he has never asked for!"

"Ulfric is about to take action against Snowman City, we must stop him!" Turius still did not heed Ruiji’s warning. "Continue to draft a letter, this time revealing some information about Ulfric. If necessary, try to add fuel and vinegar, we can make people feel that this is his own idea. Then send it to Snowman City as soon as possible."

Governor Ruiji sighed helplessly. Although she is a Nord and the Governor of the Empire in Skyrim, for the generals sent by the Empire, she must obey the order "Oh, General." She paused, and then again. Continue to say "General, here is another letter..."

"It's that **** Nordic tradition again."

"General!"

"Let’s talk about it, what’s it this time? Ulfric’s letter of duel?" As an imperial general from Cyrodir, Turius was very dissatisfied with Nord’s tradition. A letter of protest from the camp?"

"Neither, General. It is the Greybeard from Hogarth Peak. They hope you can go to Hogarth Peak as the representative of the empire to discuss a temporary peace agreement with Stormcloak in order to help the Dragonborn solve the dragon disaster."

"Then write back to those hermits. Unless they can let Ulfric go to Hogarth Peak and stop all actions in the near future, I will never leave Doyle Castle for half a step!"

It is undoubtedly as difficult for Ulfric to stop the imminent counterattack as it is to stop the huge waves from hitting the coast. Perhaps, in Skyrim Province, only Graybeard can make Ulfric leave his lord’s palace and command post in Windhelm, but this does not require the dragonborn troubles. Graybeards will solve everything. These reclusive masters will do it. It is to allow the Dragonborn to face Alduin directly, instead of being trapped by the complicated things of the Skyrim Civil War.

"So, now it becomes, a vampire cooperates with hunting the dawn guard, and the daughter is rebelling against his father?"

The Dragonborn who reunited with the Demon Hunter seemed surprised at how quickly things changed. She looked at Serana, who was sitting quietly with her hood and cloak covering her body. "Is she really credible?" ? I don't like the feeling of a vampire staring at his back."

"At least until now, I haven't found any signs of lying."

"If you think she is credible, I believe you." Longyi sighed. "Why should we go to Windhelm City to meet with the Holy Moth Priest? Why do those people you know bring scholars to Windhelm City, It is better for the priest of the holy moth to go directly to Xueman or to the Rift Valley than Windhelm City."

"I don't know..." Even so, the demon hunters understand the idea of ​​the sharp-eyed eagle, and they can follow the name of the dawn guard and let them enter Windhelm City in an open manner. But considering the distance issue, Islan agreed to Selana to bring the ancient scroll, and they could directly ask the priest to interpret the information on the scroll after they met. After all, they had found the priest of the holy moth, and Eslan had to admit that Zelin's opinion was feasible.

Selana didn't know much about the holy moth priests, but Islan had a lot of opinions on the scholars of these imperial capitals. These scholars live in the platinum tower of the imperial capital and study the ancient scrolls all day long, hoping to predict the future or understand the imminent threat by interpreting the predictions in the ancient scrolls. Sometimes these priests would go to various places in Tamriel to find scrolls. Now that the Dawnguard has an ancient scroll, it will not be difficult to get the cooperation of the priest.

"Be careful when you see the sharp-eyed eagle, Gnaiya."

"I understand, now I am Gnaiya, not the Dragonborn." The girl smiled. Zelin had warned the dragonborn, and Gnaiya also accepted the warning. High remuneration...Thank you. I will be careful of all this. No one wants me to bow my head so easily. The Empire is not good, the Stormcloak is not good, and Alduin is not good."

PS: Regarding the next dungeon... Not surprisingly, it is the Soul series.

Chapter 296 The Emergence of the Road

The streets of Windhelm City are all straight, meeting each other at right angles, and sometimes the ground will pass through some mounds, or step over along stone steps. The stone houses are built with slate roofs, and the houses are all made up of straight stones, which are sharp and angular. The architectural style of this city is similar to that of Dugu City. It is said that it used to be the capital of ancient Nord, but unlike Dugu City’s bright sunshine, Windhelm is covered with snow almost all day long.

"I've heard that people call Windhelm as the city of kings... in my book."

Serrana's outdated knowledge didn't help much.

Candlestick Fort is the largest inn in Windhelm City. Its location is facing the huge gate, with heavy walls and steps made of strips of stone. The name of this inn has its origins. It is said that one hundred and sixty-three years ago, it was the residence of a great warrior called Fenreheim, Fenrelga, or some other name. Later, the soldier died on the battlefield, so his son lit a circle of white candles on the top of the second floor to pay tribute to his father. But no one knows why, these candles have not been extinguished so far.

Of course no one knew what the reason was, and Zelin didn't understand why he heard the sound of the beautiful waitress moving the ladder in the storage room at night.

They waited in Windhelm City for two days, but in these two days, the demon hunters did not take time off. Originally, he thought that in the hotel, since Windhelm is not like Rift City, thieves are rampant, and swindlers are everywhere. If the people here are honest people, Zelin is willing to ask if they want to try a new one. Gambling, and then take one or two extra Septin for fun. But unfortunately, the people here seem to be caught in an inexplicable enthusiasm, the respect for Ulfric, the worship of Talos, and the hatred of the dark elves.

Windhelm is not only inhabited by many Nords, but also many dark elves. It is said that they are refugees from Morrowind Province. The former lord of Windhelm invited these dark elves who lost their homes due to disasters to live in Skyrim. Now most of these elves are engaged in the professions of farm helpers or servants. However, Zelin had heard more than once that the Nords in the city referred to the dark elf residents as Greyhide, or the spies of the empire.
