The Collection of The End

——4E, 201, Last Seed Moon, 22nd, 13:00——

Arthur is hiking to a bandit den called White River Lookout.

The White River is a river that runs through the sky. It starts from Lake Elintana near Falkreath in the south, turns north along the mountains on the east side of Snowrun, and then meets the Blackwater and goes north again, finally at Windhelm. near the city into the sea of ​​undead.

There are many mountains overlooking the river along the Baihe River, and there are no fewer than ten places that can be used as bases called "Baihe Overlook Rocks". talked about.

As for the reason, it is said that there was an internal strife among the robber gangs entrenched there. The two leaders fled to Xueman and surrendered to the guards. They also claimed that the big boss had made a fortune and wanted to kill the others for himself. The rumors were relished Few of the residents in Dao care about the details of the internal strife, but they all talk about those "windfalls" as real things. The latest statement is that they found the treasure house buried in the wild by the ancient hero Olaf the One-Eyed.

"Although it is well known that One-Eyed Olaf is a poor man, it is rumored that the reason he is so poor is because he hid all his treasures, haha." This passage in Satya's notebook is a bit skewed, obviously she couldn't help laughing while recording it look up.

But in fact, if there is such a fortune, how could the lord not send troops to destroy those robbers and collect it? After all, the hike is only about three hours away.

Therefore, clearing out this bandit lair has double benefits. In addition to the bandits, there is also a rumor of "obtaining huge wealth", Arthur thought while looking at the undulating mountains on the other side of the White River.

——13:30——

"Human! Are you?"

While walking on the road along the river, Arthur came across an old-looking orc, his hair was already gray in many braids, but his muscles were bulging, his eyes were sharp and energetic, he was shirtless, holding a sword in each hand. There were still three corpses of wild wolves lying on the nearby ground.

"Well, I'm human." Arthur looked at the wolf blood splattered on his body by the orc, and decided not to answer "it's none of your business".

"Of course I know you are human!" The old orc rolled his eyes, "I ask if you are the human who can give me glory!"

"'Glory'?" Arthur wasn't sure what the word meant for a moment, and spread his hands: "I don't think I brought that thing."

"Stupid humans!" the old orc roared.

"Then can you explain?" Arthur found that the old orc didn't intend to do anything angry after being on guard for a while, so he took his hand away from the handle of his two-handed sword and asked. In Nairn, where there are many races, it is called stupid It is not uncommon for humans to be called so, but it is relatively rare to be called that by orcs with generally low IQs.

"Ulf asked, can you give Ulf a glorious death in the battle of glory, human being." The old orc finished speaking, and the two axes struck each other, roaring.

Oh, that's it, Arthur finally remembered the identity of this old orc—a "death fighter" who is relatively rare in the orc clan. They have been fighting all their lives. The clan and descendants will cause trouble, they will give up the clan name, look for a strong opponent to challenge and hope to die in the hands of the opponent, this kind of enemy who disregards life and death is very difficult for the challenged, so people who are not confident in themselves will refuse to do this Those "death fighters" would therefore have to fight foes such as trolls, snow bears, and even mammoths who would not refuse a challenge.

If there is a "death fighter" who defeats all the selected opponents before finally losing combat effectiveness, he will have sufficient reasons to return to the clan for the elderly. Orcs are even more different.

The "dead warrior" killed by the challenger will not receive any retaliation,

Because it would be them who would die if they didn't fight hard, and although these old orcs sought a "glorious death", they would still go all out in battle.

Arthur reckoned that he should have no problem defeating the old orc, but killing a soldier who pursued glory on the road was always a bit wasteful, and this dead fighter should not have died by his own hands.

"Malacath () told me to wait here, a human will bring Ulf a glorious death," the old orc saw that Arthur was silent, so he continued: "If you are not that person, don't continue to fight with me say!"

Obviously you were the one who talked to me first, Arthur was about to deny it and leave, but found that a large number of "breath of death" enveloped the old orc in an instant. This means that after he refused to challenge, Malacas The correctness of the decree will kill the old orc in some way, and maybe there will be fatal wounds from his own two-handed sword.

However, that demon god never imagined that he could see his arrangement through the breath of death.

"Tsk." Seeing this, Arthur was very dissatisfied with Malacas. The orc demon god let his subordinates die at will. He has this power, but he also involved himself in the scope of his oracle without authorization. , I would be sorry if I didn't give him some relief.

"There may not be a glorious death, but I can give you a glorious battle," Arthur said to the old orc Ulf: "I am ordered by the lord, and I am preparing to destroy a group of robbers. I can fully guarantee that this battle will be honorable."

"Well... there are too many people in the robber's lair, and I can only fight three at the same time, so I haven't challenged it before." Wufu thought for a moment: "It can be considered an honor to fight a group of enemies and die. I will go with you."

——15:00——

The bandit leader Haval Iron Hand of Baihe Tiaoyan has been rather depressed these two days.

He had previously received news that there was a caravan transporting a large amount of silver passing by Snowman. They were afraid of being taxed by Lord Balgruf and chose to transport the goods at night. Because the goods were expensive, the guards of the caravan were also very strong, and many robbers along the way wanted to rob But they were all repulsed.

Silver is not something that can be cast into coins like gold. If there is no good silversmith to process it, it is just a very precious ore, and it is very difficult to sell. Harval originally did not intend to take this muddy water, but he couldn’t stand it. The robbers under his command coveted this group of caravans that were tantamount to passing by the door of their lair, and finally decided to make a vote.

The operation was very successful. After seeing them, those guards who were said to be very powerful escorted the other people in the caravan and ran away. However, when the goods were inspected, the robbers discovered that they were completely deceived by the rumors. It was clear where the silver was on the trucks. It is a sharp weapon!

Silver daggers, silver long swords, silver tomahawks, and silver two-handed hammers. If it weren't for the softness of these things, there might be silver helmets, silver armor, and silver shields. Compared with those who are excited about seizing a large amount of silver Ordinary robbers, a few knowledgeable leaders only felt that the whole body was shrouded in a bone-chilling chill.

The entire province of Skyrim, the Empire, and even the continent of Tamriel will use this kind of weapon with special effects against werewolves. There is only one organization, and that is the "Silver Hand", or Silver Hand for short. They focus on capturing and killing werewolves, and selling them Wolf pelts make a profit, and while their actions may sound similar to "Vigilantes" who specialize in hunting vampires, they're actually quite different.

Vampires can already be called undead and cannot be restored. Killing them is acceptable to most people, but werewolves are the product of a disease called "werewolf disease". Except for the uncontrolled transformation, most of the cases are in the appearance of human beings, and they have not been changed like vampires to think that they are no longer a member of human beings. In most cases, as long as they do not transform in public in the city, they can If you lock yourself up on a full moon night and are not reported by other residents, you can still live as usual, so killing them will be considered murder.

Silver Hand can somehow confirm the human beings infected with werewolf disease. Originally, when they were not declared illegal, in order to avoid being arrested by the guards, they would deliberately force werewolves to transform and arrest them. However, such behavior would lead to crazy werewolves It caused eye injury to ordinary residents. Finally, at a meeting of the lords of Skyrim Province, the lords decided to jointly treat Silver Hands as a criminal organization and arrest them immediately upon discovery.

At this time, all the territories in Skyrim Province are busy preparing for civil war. This organization seems to be ready to take advantage of the situation, and these silver weapons are evidence. Haval also has a guess as to why they repelled the robbers and spared themselves. That is, their headquarters is nearby, and they can come and retrieve these weapons at any time.

The other three bosses who were not afraid of the lord and the army at all, but were very afraid of the silver hand, led their men to flee collectively, but before leaving, they secretly dismantled a batch of weapons and turned them into pieces of silver to take away. Obviously, they will be blamed for this Val angrily fought with other robbers who were unwilling to leave, and now Xueman was rumoring that he had found a huge treasure and had internal strife—whoever wants this "treasure" should take it away!

Now, Haval Iron Hand is standing on the highest stone platform of Baihe Overlook Rock. He has already made up his mind that as soon as a large group of people kills him, he will immediately climb down the rock. After all, his lair is a natural cave. The time it takes for the person in charge to find him is enough for him to escape far away. Although the property accumulated over the years is not much, it is enough to buy a farm in a certain town and change it to become a farmer. The location is preferably on the border. Out of the provinces come in--

"Huh? Are you the leader of Baihe Tiaoyan? It doesn't look like you have made a fortune."

"Is he the leader? Can he be killed?"

"No, the Western Fortress is quite short of people."

Those silver hands have taken over the lair? How can it be so fast? Although Haval was a little puzzled as to why there were orcs in the silver hands, when he turned around and saw the silver light reflected from the two-handed sword in the hands of the blond Nord man, he immediately raised his hands decisively:

"I surrender!"
