The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"How's the situation?" When Virginia saw Brother Verurus returning, she asked him, "Is there a way out one day?"

"You can't get out of the fortress under the stone, Lord Songwa will definitely find a way to capture you." Brother Verurus shook his head, and another door was closed from the outside. He couldn't think of any other way now. The chief mage who helped him send it out. "I have proposed to leave Marcus, you can wait a moment, the storm cloak is fighting the oath-sworn, they will not pay attention to a leaving priest of Akai, I also have an assistant robe, You can put it on and leave the battlefield as a priest."

Originally, after defeating the leader of the ogre cultist, Virginia was ready to leave through another door of the Hall of the Dead, especially after knowing that there was a riot outside. She even wanted to leave here as soon as possible without attracting any attention to the agreed meeting point outside the city. Virginia has a way to use a powerful spell, such as releasing an ice storm with all its strength to disperse the two sides at war, but this is likely to provide evidence for the Imperial Army or the storm cloak to intervene in Winterhold College.

She is now the chief mage of Winterhold Academy, and she has to consider Winterhold Academy. You can't let the Academy fall into crisis in Skyrim because of one of your own actions. They must not intervene in any political group. This is precisely the reason why Winterhold College has been independent since it disintegrated after the Mage Union and the annihilation crisis.

But the door was locked from the outside, and Brother Verurus' key could not open the door, so the chief mage could only think of other ways.

"...Wait, I heard footsteps."

Virginia, who had been sitting on the ground resting, suddenly stood up and looked at the other side of the tomb. The priest was repacking the body in the tomb, and the priest who gave the corpse Akai asylum also looked in the direction that Virginia saw. In the tomb lay some corpses that were shaken by the explosion of the magic battle. The air was still filled with white mist and heat waves. Many candles were extinguished. The tomb corridor looked extremely dim, and the sound of footsteps was exactly the shadow from the corridor. Came in.

Virginia squeezed her staff tightly, squinted her eyes slightly, and the offensive magic gathered in her hand again.

"Virginia?"

The voice from the other side of the tunnel caused the chief mage to dissipate the magic.

"Zelin?! How did you get in?!"

Chapter 905, Continue to Advance Against the Morning Light

"I thought you might be in trouble, so I figured out a way to come to you."

In the tomb, Zelin finally saw Virginia, and the remains of a battle. After some conversation, the demon hunter learned that the catacombs had broken into a group of ogres. They were followers of the demon **** Namira. The leader was a magic swordsman, but they had been defeated by Virginia.

"How is it outside now?"

Virginia was trapped in the Hall of the Dead. She didn't know what was going on outside. She could only hear the sound of soldiers gathering in the fortress. The storm cloak may not have expected that they would be attacked by the abandoners. Most of the storm cloak garrison of Rui Chi is in the north of Rui Chi, facing the Imperial Legion in Dragon Bridge. As a result, these oath-sworn rebels temporarily gained the upper hand.

"They are regrouping." Brother Verurus on the side also came over, listening to Zelin said that the situation in the city "the number of swearers is less than I thought, they are setting up roadblocks in the city, I think we can Leave while they are still gathering. The number of soldiers at the gate of the city is very small, and they are still fighting for the fortress under the stone and the commanding heights in the city."

"No, you can't go to the city gate." Brother Verurus suddenly said, "Lord Songwa has sent many soldiers to the city gate. The Treasure House seems to have been looted. He must have lost important things, so we must prevent anyone from bringing them. Things leave Markas City."

Zelin raised his eyebrows, and this Songwa Yinxue reacted faster than he thought. Virginia seemed to notice a slight change in the expression of the demon hunter.

"Do you know about this?"

"Who knows?" Zelin shrugged. "When I came here from the road, I saw many people on the street stealing things from corpses. Maybe someone tried to break into the famous city of Markas. Treasure House stealing.” There is no need to distract Virginia from this, at least for now, there is no need to say more, because the gate on the other side of the Hall of the Dead is in the lord’s fortress under the stone. It is estimated that Songwa Silverblood Unexpectedly, the person who took the diary was only a few hundred meters away from him, just separated by a door.

But he was a step late, and Margarita had already taken enough evidence to leave Markas City with the Atris family.

"Apart from the city gate, is there any other way to go out?" Zelin asked Brother Verurus, "You have been in Marcus for so long, should you know some way?"

Zelin didn't expect to find many safe passages either. Virginia's consideration was that she could not give the Stormcloak an excuse to interfere with Winterhold College. Winterhold is the territory of the storm cloak, but the academy can be alone in it, the reason is that they announced that they will not help any side of the civil war, or attack the other side. According to the words of Virginia as the chief mage to the storm cloak and the envoy of the Imperial Army, the academy is only a platform to provide learning methods, rather than a strict organization.

Although the actual situation is the same, but when there are better opportunities for profit-such as the research provided by Zelin to study the magic and knowledge of other worlds, they are still willing to obey the chief mage, or work for the chief mage in exchange for more Research resources.

But Velurus seemed to really know a place.

"I know a place... but I don't know if it can be counted as a road." Brother Verurus struggled for a while. "That place is a bit... troublesome. It's at the junction of the city wall and the cliff. Yes, it's the city. Below the edge waterfall." Akai’s priest made a gesture. "There is actually not a road, only one or two people can pass. I have not been there, but I listened to the pharmacist Posella and Her assistant Mu Rui knew that because Mu Rui would sometimes go to nearby mountains and rocks to help gather herbs."

"As long as it's not the ruins of dwarves." Virginia shrugged. "Those dwarves only seem to know the production mechanism."

"You have to go through the ruins of the dwarves. The danger you encounter may be greater than that of rushing out from the gate of the city." Brother Verurus said a lot. The killing machines made by those dwarves are no more stormy than the team at the gate of the city. How safe is the cloak soldier? Zelin has heard Gnaiya describe her experience of exploring the dwarf ruins. Many times, she has become a corpse in the ruins without the vigilance and caution of the dragonborn.

They left the Hall of the Dead through another door. In order not to be noticeable, Virginia still put on the clothes of the assistant priest of Akai over her robe. She has been in the city for a while, and in order to deal with the magic crack, she has been in and out of the lord’s palace several times, at least the guards of the Silver Blood family must know her, knowing this Virginia relies on the chief archmage robe to transform After the robe.

Virginia knew the owner of this pharmacy. She had been here to buy potions. By the way, she discussed alchemy skills with Posella. Just like the name of the store, she showed her dry skin and facial lines. She looks like a crow hag, she is almost sixty years old, and the knowledge that time has brought her makes her the best alchemist in Reach.

"If there were no silver blood, our life would be better. But my eyes are about to go, I can't see who these swearers are better than silver blood." Possella did not ask who they were. She knew Brother Verurus, and also knew that the trail used to gather herbs needed to be climbed. Because of the waterfall, the rocks on that trail might be slippery, but that’s good for Zelin and Virginia. Said it was not a problem.

"Oh, girl, is this your friend?" the old alchemist asked Virginia, and she looked at Zelin "I think you can definitely find what you need in the alchemy formula we discussed before."

"Well, yes." Virginia nodded unnaturally, and seemed to want to turn the topic off. "Thank you for the... valuable alchemy skills and formulas you gave me at the time."

"Hehehe, I will let Mu Rui take you there. My eyes are not good." Possella sat on the wooden chair and smiled as he looked at the apprentice on the side. "If Mu Rui could have the eyes of you, I too There is no need to persuade her to be safe all day long." Seeing the apprentice's helpless expression, the old alchemy waved his hand, "Okay, well, you go quickly, before the two groups of people continue to fight."

"Walking here, no one will find us." The alchemist's apprentice gestured to them, motioning Zelin and Virginia to follow him. And Brother Verurus had to return to the Hall of the Dead. In any case, before the arrival of the new priest Akai, he would be responsible for the remains in the Hall of the Dead.

When they passed the waterfall on the side of the city and came to the junction of the city wall and the cliff, the sky was almost bright, and the sun climbed over the tops of the Richi Mountains, spreading the warm morning light on the land of Markas . When everyone paid attention to the city gate, no one would have thought that two people had left the city on the edge of the city wall.

The demon hunter stood on the rock and raised his hand to block the slightly dazzling sunlight. Behind it was the city of Markas, which was still shrouded in the shadow of the mountain. Virginia stood beside him, squinting likewise, looking at the mountains illuminated by the sun. The green woods are dotted with endless mountains, and the streams draw elegant curves among the mountains. The unique mountains and rivers of Reach present a different kind of beauty in front of them.

What a serene and beautiful view.

It’s a pity that the people of Rui Chi pay more attention to the silver mines underground. They keep digging, so that they are unwilling to look up and see how much they don’t have. A good place to pay attention.

Suddenly, there was another fierce fighting sound from the wall behind. The soldiers and the oath-sworn men of the Silver-blood family had already assembled and started a new round of battle.

"Shall we go?" Zelin looked at Virginian next to him. "I remember we still have a banquet?"

"Yes, private party." Virginia smiled lightly, raising her eyebrows slightly. "Only you and me, remember our agreement."

"Of course, I did what I said." Zelin found two other horses from the unmanned farm outside the city. He and Virginia rode on a horse, facing the rising sun, and walked to the other side together. Falkreath's direction, soon, they left the still fighting Markas City behind.

Leave it behind.

Chapter 960 The Fate of the Night

The way back is much easier when someone is with you.

They drove during the day and rested at night, and it took only two days to get out of the border of the Reach and enter the territory of Falkreath. The southernmost territory of the sky is extremely peaceful. It is so remote. The endless pine forests on both sides of the road and the foothills of different heights make up almost everything Falkreath leads. Sometimes, the travelers on the roadside It may be difficult to realize that they are walking in one of the nine territories of Skyrim, rather than a deserted forest. There is sparsely populated here, the entire territory is only one gathering place for Falkreath, and this provincial capital is not much larger than Ximu Town.

When the moon drove the sun down the mountain again, Zelin found a suitable camping site. In two days, they will be able to reach Helgen, and Zelin will replenish the potion consumption in Helgen, and then go to Snowman City to exchange information with Jacqueline.

Virginia leaned back against the pine tree trunk and lay in her bear fur blanket. The cold wind from the mountain forest made her wrap herself in a circle, leaving her head outside.

"If you are going to Morrowind to investigate the cultists, I think Alania should be able to help you. She is the dark elf who fled to Skyrim when the Red Mountain of Morrowind broke out. Her family used to live in Morrowind. There should be a lot of understanding there."

Along the way, Virginia and Zelin talked about what she had done some time ago. On the mountain peak outside the Winter Fort, there is an Azura altar built by the dark elf who fled from Morrowind to the sky. Later, a magician named Marin in Winterhold College received a magic artifact named Azura’s Star. Azura’s Star is a star-shaped stone sculpture with endless soul power, like an inexhaustible one. The inexhaustible soul stone. Marin tried to use Azura's star to make his soul as immortal as a demon in the annihilation realm.

So Virginia, after knowing this from Alanya, based on Azura’s prophecy, she found Marin hiding in the abyss of Irina, defeating Marlin’s followers and destroying Marlin’s soul. After taking back the star of Azura, Virginia heard Azura's voice.

"She prophesied to me, she sounded very satisfied that her star of Azura would not continue to be defiled by crazy magicians, so she allowed me to use her magic artifact. But I don't understand why Azura wants Tell Alanya that she no longer needs such a priest, so I invited Alanya to join the Winterhold Academy, but she still often goes to the statue of Azura to clean the altar."

Except for this adventure, Virginia spends most of her time studying magic.

"What about you? What have you done in the past six months?" The chief mage stared at Zelin with a pair of eyes. "Your adventure must be wonderful."

"It's just a trivial matter." Zelin was sitting on a wooden stake on the side, and the branch in his hand poked the small fire surrounded by rocks. "I saw a **** who was undergoing a coup and saved a town. People were saved from death, and later went to a place troubled by evil dragons, helped the locals solve a dragon, and by the way resisted the orcs invading their homeland. Well, it’s nothing."

"Really?"
