The Divine Hunter
Chapter 20 The comrades-in-arms
The weather was fine, and the rising sun gilded the houses in Xueman City with a soft golden glow. The romantic golden light shone on a pair of handsome men and women, and the smiles on their faces were as bright as flowers.
"We will remember the great kindness and virtue of the three in our hearts!" Joe Zhankuang, who got his wish, put on a new suit and held his wife's hand. With an apple-like blush, she kept flirting with her husband.
"So your two families have accepted their fate and will no longer force you to separate?" Freen looked at the two with his arms crossed and his eyes closed.
"It's not completely unaffected," Ofina's eyes flashed a trace of regret, "after all, people's words are terrible, and Faria is worried that the family's reputation will be damaged, and people mistakenly think that Graymane has transferred to the Empire, and they have driven us out on the bright side. family…"
"Offred is also worried, so starting from today, I'm no longer a member of the Zhan Kuang family, I have moved out of the house." Although Joe said this, there was no trace of sadness on his face, but he was a little relieved , "Ofina is no longer Greymane either. But we are allowed to go back every few months to see the family."
"We are just ordinary citizens of Skyrim Province now," Joe said firmly, with a smile, "but so what? As long as we are with her, all difficulties will not be a problem. Maybe in the future we will leave Xuemanling and go to other places. Territory travel, honeymoon.”
"Congratulations, I wish you a happy wedding!" Roy sighed a little, being able to help a pair of lovers get married, inexplicably happy and a little melancholy, he couldn't help thinking of the coral in another world, "But if you want to leave the snow Man, you must pay attention to safety. The stormcloak incident, the road may not be peaceful."
"By the way, the three of you, we have a gift for you!" The two couples looked at each other and took out a few things from their carry-on bags in a tacit understanding.
An ancient book with a black cover, a prism-shaped crystal talisman, and a bulging bag, shake it gently, making a crisp and moving sound of gold coins colliding.
"This talisman was a birthday present from Erlund when I was a child. It is a necklace made of gold and flawless gemstones. It is worth thousands of gold, but now it is enough to have the ring from Joe."
Ofina said, "Joe bought this book by accident from a magician who was talking about it. It has something to do with magic. Maybe you use it."
Jolie rubbed the ring slightly ashamed and said, "Sorry, we can only take out so much. The wedding ring cost a lot of money, and we have to keep some of it for the future."
The three of them smiled and didn't refuse. Avel and Freen each shared five hundred gold coins, and Roy took the book and looked at it a little.
Avel told him that the title of the book was "About Annihilation", and he was included in the space.
As soon as the prismatic crystal amulet starts,
Roy's expression immediately moved.
"What are you two going to do next?"
"First rent a room in Chiqi Mare, and move to Ximu Town when the dragon disaster passes. I heard that the scenery there is beautiful and the climate is pleasant."
"Okay then, I'll have a drink with you when I have time!" Freen waved goodbye.
"In any case, thank you for your generosity," the two couples bowed heavily to the three of Roy, watching their backs go away, "May Kanares bless you!"
"Occasional guest appearances as a believer in the Goddess of Love, does it feel good to do a good deed?" Frien couldn't help but slightly curved his lips.
Avel is also in a light mood. In the past, he would never do good things for no reason, but I have to say that it is quite beautiful to be grateful.
After saying goodbye to the couple, Roy and the three walked up the stone stairs to the east of the garden.
His attention turned to the template.
Detected possession of special forging material - mysterious and flawless gem.
The hand crossbow Gabriel can get the following enhancement options:
1. Enhance any existing enchantment: Simplify, Stun Arrow
2. Consume the mysterious and flawless gems to obtain new enchantments for the hand crossbow——
Gem Mark: Infuse 20 points of mana into the crossbow, after hitting the target, it will leave a special mark in his body for 24 hours.
During this time, Gabriel's damage to the target is increased by 10%. The hand crossbow will sense and search for the marker's location anytime and anywhere until the marker disappears.
Well, ordinary monsters can't stand his arrow, this skill is obviously for hunting large creatures.
In a world haunted by giant dragons, the time has come!
You are the one!
confirm!
Swah——
In the space, Gabriel's appearance changed dramatically in an instant. A layer of splendid and beautiful gem dust was spread on the gentle shell that was full of flesh and blood, and every dust was sparkling in the sun.
The appearance was instantly raised a notch.
"Well, it's just a little too conspicuous."
...
The mead hall is like a huge plate sitting on the rock, receiving the essence of sunlight, rain, sun and moon.
The terrain is only slightly lower than that of Longlin Fort, which is located in the second echelon of the entire Xueman City.
The hall is brightly lit. The first thing that catches the eye is the bonfires that every household in Xueman City has, but the bonfires here are rectangular, much larger than those in ordinary people's homes. Three rectangular tables surround the bonfire, and the table is full of Filled with all kinds of drinks - alto, Nord mead, ale...you can drink it whenever you want.
Roy could imagine that when the banquet was being held, the guests sat around the fire, and the intertwined and jumping flames reflected the excited faces of the people, which was quite addicting.
Roy turned his eyes again.
This hall is quite spacious and tall, with a rough decoration style. Ivory, shields, and animal head specimens are neatly hung on the walls. Thick columns at the four corners support the ceiling more than five meters above the ground.
It does not divide the top into a second floor, so it is quite grand, and then ingeniously built the stairs leading to the basement in an inconspicuous place in the corner of the hall.
Then, according to Roy's idea, it should be the bedrooms of the members of the comrades-in-arms.
At this moment, the three sparsely sat scattered in the hall, with a leisurely expression on their faces. They were two men in gray steel armor with broad shoulders and broad chests, and a man sitting in the corner with long chestnut hair and a wild and wild cheek. A slender huntress with tattoos, a battle dress and a sleeveless iron breastplate.
The two men carried weapons even indoors, and one of them carried a long sword behind him.
And all three of them were painted with a circle of dark brown dye around their eyes, like an enlarged version of eye shadow.
Adds a weirdness and wildness to them.
Roy stared at the man with the sword on his back, his eyes quietly became deep, and at the same time, the skill of guardian blessing was changed from gluttony to observation, and the observation skill instantly changed to lv4.

...
It's not just him, the huntress and another man named Wilkas have surprisingly high attributes, a lot more than ordinary Nords, and there seems to be a layer of fog covering him, making him unable to see clearly, these three seem to be hidden. with some kind of trump card.
Thoughts rolled in Roy's mind.
Similar to the energy of the Demon God Sanjien, is there a connection between them and a certain Demon God?
The intrusion of the three uninvited guests alarmed the master of the hall, and three pairs of vigilant eyes turned around.
"Guests from Longlinbao? What's your purpose in coming to the mead hall?" Farkas opened his mouth, his voice hoarse like a dull knife, and with a piercing force.
"Oh, we heard that the most skilled warriors in Xueman City live in the Mead Hall. We came here to meet and make friends..." Freen looked at the three members with a hearty smile.
"This is a big mistake. It's not the best skill, but the best drinker!" Another man with a one-handed weapon who was similar to Farkas abruptly stood up and moved towards the three of them. Throw over a bottle of wine.
Avel sharply took it in his hand, took off the cork, gulped down a mouthful, and handed it to Freen and Roy, each taking a big mouthful.
"Enough refreshment! Come and sit down, I'm Wilkas," the man beckoned to them, "this strong and brave man is my brother Farkas, this elegant and beautiful lady is called Ella, don't because She looks down on her attractive appearance, there is a saying that the more beautiful the beast, the more dangerous it is, and ordinary men can't get close to her."
The three also reported their names, and sat down next to Wilkas unceremoniously, and Farkas raised his glass to them again,
And Roy moved his nose, and the body odor of wild animals rushed to his face, and he couldn't help frowning.
Do comrades-in-arms keep dogs?
"Bang!"
The four wine bottles collided suddenly, and the sweet aroma of mead filled the air.
All four drank a bottle in one go, then leaned back in their chairs and burped comfortably.
"Haha, the three are good drinkers, so it can be seen that you are all warriors," Farkas smiled enthusiastically, revealing perfect and hard teeth, with particularly prominent canine teeth, "No wonder you can escape from Holy Land Town, let's hear it. Well, how powerful is the giant dragon? I heard that it can turn people into coke with one bite of fire?"
His face was full of interest, like a hunter picking his prey.
"Farkas, this is not the way to entertain guests!" On the other side, Wilkas lifted a chair and sat opposite the three of them, his eyes scrutinized,
"I guess the three came to the door to join the comrade-in-arms group and share the honor that we have established for more than four thousand years?"
Roy's pupils froze, more than four thousand years of history? Longer than the settlement history of humans in the Demon Hunter Continent, what an ancient organization.
"The Krakow Heralds will gladly accept warriors from all over the world. As long as you pass the test, you will all be one!"
"Help and support each other! Always stand behind the shield friends, so that the world will never have a chance to attack us!"
The huntress Ella walked over with her slender and clean thighs, her hands propped up on the table, and she leaned over to look at the three of them, her eyes sharp like a female leopard observing her prey.
More and more revealing the strong capital on the chest.
"Cough cough..." Avel pretended to be heartbroken, "Can you join the comrade group as long as you pass the test? It doesn't matter if you are not a Nord, and have poor martial arts?"
"The comrade-in-arms group is not limited to any particular race, as long as it desires strength, is not afraid of challenges, and unites with its compatriots!" Farkas joked, "Of course, don't disturb the devils, vampires and the like."
"What about poor martial arts? As long as you are not afraid of suffering, everyone in the comrade-in-arms group is your teacher."
Roy was still expressionless after listening to Avel's translation.
But his heart stirred up waves. He didn't expect that there were vampires in this world. How was it different from the witcher world?
What is the devil, the believer of the devil?
This place seems to be more vast and complex than I thought.
"So what are the rules, responsibilities and obligations to join the comrade-in-arms group?" Freen asked.
"In my opinion, there are only those few - not fighting infighting, not participating in disgusting politics, not bullying the weak with guns, and not acting without shame and honor." Wilkas beat his right fist and left palm, "For more specific details, you have to ask Krakow Graymane and accept his 'first impression' inspection first. Believe me, most Nords have a soul that meets the requirements and is full of power."
"Oh, so, the comrades-in-arms group has always adhered to neutrality, neither supporting the Empire nor the Stormcloak?" Avel keenly captured the meaning of his words.
"That's right, this is our way of survival..." Ella knocked on the table and sat across from the three of them with her legs crossed. "An organization can only survive for a long time if it is not polluted by politics! Otherwise, it will fall apart sooner or later. , according to the news from the city, the three of you are also neutral, right?"
The three nodded.
The eyes of the members of the comrade-in-arms became softer.
"Sorry, I have one last question," Freen paused. "What is the status of the comrades in Snowrun? What kind of jobs do you guys usually do?"
"The history of the comrades in arms is longer than that of Snowman City," Wilkas said proudly. "We are on an equal footing with Balgruuf."
"As for income, it mainly helps the people of Xueman Territory eliminate bears, saber-toothed tigers and other beasts that disturb their normal lives; mediate individual or collective disputes; accept employment from lords or private individuals. Occasionally sell weapons and equipment forged in the sky furnace."
Roy nodded, saying that the comrade-in-arms group is similar to a mercenary organization, but the relationship between the members is more harmonious, and they never interfere in politics.
"Have you guys thought about it clearly? Do you want to take the test?" Faska was eager to move, obviously ready for some special projects.
"Uh, three, in fact, we have something else to ask for when we visit the mead hall," Avel glanced at the three of them slowly, "Farkas, did you just say that you are interested in the dragon in Holy Land Town?"
"Of course..." Farkas stood up suddenly, circled around the bonfire, strode high, and said in a loud voice, "It has been more than 20 years since I joined the comrades at the age of seven or eight, and I have hunted most of the wild animals in Skyrim Province. , knife cats, bears, mammoths, giants... ordinary prey can no longer make me happy."
"The dragon that disappeared for thousands of years is now reappearing. I also want to see the legendary dragon roar and dragon breath!"
The three of Freen were instantly overjoyed, and the comrades-in-arms group did not seem to be as difficult to convince as expected!
"Then we came here just in time! Lord Farkas, there is a chance for you now." Avel drank a glass of malt wine, wiped the spit from his beard, and said solemnly, "The dragon attacked the Holy Land first. Town, and yesterday attacked the Thalmer carriage near the town of Rolick. According to our analysis, the next time it will attack the territory near Snowrun!"
"At that time, we and the soldiers in Xueman City, as well as the members of the Zhan Kuang family and the Graymane family, will rush to the fierce battle outside the city!" Freen stretched out his hand to him and invited, "Join us for your life experience. Add a touch of color."
"Dude, think about it carefully, Dragon Slayer!" Avel looked longingly and temptedly said, "The one-eyed Olaf only had such a title a few epochs ago!"
"And if we fight back, or even kill the incoming dragon, it will be the glory of the entire Skyrim Province, no, the entire Empire."
When Farkas heard the words, his breathing became heavier, his hands clenched into fists, and his expression was heartbroken. His brother Wilkas was silent.
"So that's what you guys came up with, wanting the comrades to risk their lives to work in vain?" Ella, the most calm, smiled disdainfully, her sharp eyes seemed to penetrate into the hearts of the three of them, pointing out the loopholes in their words, "Let's not mention Tu first. The name of the dragon is more important, or the life is more important, shouldn't you pay a handsome reward? The comrade-in-arms group is not a charity hall."
"It's our fault that we didn't make it clear," Avel breathed a sigh of relief and said apologetically, "Lord Balgruuf will never treat warriors who are willing to fight, and he will give you a sufficient commission!"
"If you want, you can think of this as a hired dragon slaying mission!"
The Farkas brothers gave each other a heartfelt look,
Ella shook her head, flung her ponytail behind her head, pushed away the chair and got up,
"I don't have the rough skin and flesh of these two brothers. If you want to slay the dragon, you men will find a way to slaughter it yourself!"
Avel's eyes turned to the thinking Farkas brothers again,
"Two, can you introduce other comrades-in-arms members for us?"
"I don't need it for the time being..." Wilkas swept over Frien with bright eyes, and stayed on Avel for a longer time, and finally solidified on Roy's shoulder and Arondite.
"We are very interested in slaughtering dragons together, but first, we have to confirm the skills of our companions... Let's start with you, work hard, brothers, let us recognize it!"
"what do you mean?"
Farkas pinched the shoulders at the back of his neck, revealing a sly smile, "Dare you dare to discuss with us in the venue behind the mead hall, ban magic, just rely on the blade in your hand!"
"Why don't you dare?" Fienne's chest surged with enthusiasm, "But we only decide the winner, and we'll stop there!"
...
A group of six people rushed into the yard non-stop.
The center of a spacious circular venue.
Frien was wearing a dirty fur armor, an iron sword in his right hand, and a leather shield in his left hand, and started to fight with Wilkas, who was wearing a shiny steel armor and holding a sharp steel sword and shield.
The two first paced around the opponent a few times tentatively. Wilkas caught a glimpse of his approximate weapon level from his jerky steps, so he was calm and relaxed.
Freen, a newborn calf, took the lead in attacking, with his shoulders hidden behind the shield, as if a gray lightning collided with Wilkas, but the latter was as calm as a mountain and did not shake at all.
He slashed into the Wilkas shield with another sword, but was deflected by the metal trim, and before he retracted the sword, Wilkas slammed the steel sword hilt beyond his collarbone beyond the leather armor, which was a piece with sky A high-quality steel sword forged in a furnace, even the hilt is powerful enough!
"Ouch!"
Freen groaned, and his collarbone was visibly red and swollen.
The pain penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
Cold sweat broke out!
However, he gritted his teeth and continued to entangle with Wilkas, blocking, sidestepping, and swinging his sword. As a sword and shield player, his experience and reaction speed were much worse than that of Wilkas.
Ten seconds later, a steel sword was placed on his neck.
"Frien, right, I can see that you have just learned swordsmanship, and your martial arts are not very good." Wilkas threw him a bottle of medicinal wine, "but you are determined and courageous, even if you are at an absolute disadvantage. Dare to take the initiative to attack! It is a good seedling of a warrior!"
He stretched out his hand and shook hands with the bewildered Dragonborn, "I approve of you!"
"So this time it's my turn to ask for advice?" A pair of daggers made a beautiful turn in Avel's palm.
The battle is on again!
