The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Well, how should I say, my brother and I are both from Cyrodir. We want to settle here, but we are in trouble." Camilla took a deep breath. "You have two swords. You should be better than me. The younger brother who stayed in the store all day and refused to go out could solve the problem better. The most valuable thing in our house was stolen by a thief. Please come to the store to discuss it with me."

"It seems that no one in this small town wants to be a sheriff."

"No, uh, the people in the town are all Nords, and my brother and I are imperials. Well, the situation is not so good now, you know, so Lucan has never wanted to go outside, I don’t Blame him, but you can't continue to ignore it after things are stolen." Camilla stopped talking, Zelin noticed that her appearance is indeed slightly different from the others in the town, if you want to describe it, it is The difference between a coyote and a gray wolf "Where do you come from, you don't look like a Nord."

"I... lived in Rift Valley City before."

"Oh, sorry, I..."

"It doesn't matter, we are all humans."

Camilla's younger brother Lucan seemed unhappy about his sister's initiative to go out to find someone for help, but he quickly accepted the status quo.

"If you can help me find things back, I will give you all the money left over from the last shipment. We lost a golden, shiny, dragon-claw-like decoration."

"But I think the trouble must be more than that." Zelin shook his head. He promised too much. Just finding a thief is not worth paying so much, even if what he lost is a golden dragon claw. What kind of trouble."

"That thief, he fled to a very dangerous place." Lucan and Camilla looked at each other. "A very dangerous place in the legend of the Nords is in the Luohan Mountains."

PS: I just wanted to go to Lao Gun 5 to see the name of the place, but I couldn't help but play again... I recovered and found that it was eight o'clock...

Chapter 240 The Clue of the Luohan Mountain Range

"How can you be sure that the thief who stole the Golden Dragon Claw fled to the Luohan Mountains. It was lost the night before. In a day and a half, the thief might have been riding a horse to any place in the sky."

It’s the same as the Demon Hunter’s commission, at least the same at the beginning. Zelin has to learn more useful information about the thieves, about the stolen things. "Maybe the golden dragon claw you are looking for is now in a certain city. It’s sold in the market, and you thought that claw would stay in the mountains near the town."

The detective friend the Demon Hunter met in Tritog once told him that if you really want to solve a case, you must doubt everything. First, start with the clues provided by the reporter. Otherwise, once you are misled by the initial clues, you Will be farther and farther from the truth. In fact, this sentence is also suitable for the entrustment of demon hunters. You must consider whether the words of monster witnesses are correct. No one wants to see that when they apply mixed beast sword oil and prepare to deal with griffins, they find that the enemy needs to use it. A werewolf dealt with by the cursed sword oil.

"That’s because dragon claws are said to be related to the ancient Nordic tombs on the Luohan Mountains. Some people say that there are treasures hidden in the tombs. It’s really stupid. If I say, it’s an ornament. The treasure man must have a problem with his head." Lucan is not interested in the fact that he once held a treasure key in his hand. "A stupid thief stole it, and then ran to a tomb full of ghouls to die. It can only be this way. If the thief really just wants to take the Dragon Claw and sell it, I'm afraid I don't know where he will go."

"Can you tell me about the situation at that time?"

"The situation? What else can happen. The night before, the golden dragon claws were placed on the counter well, but when I woke up yesterday morning, I found that there was nothing on the counter."

Lucan and Camilla could not provide any useful information about the theft, but Zelin still found a clue in the window on the second floor of the grocery store.

The grocery store has two floors. On the second floor, there is a wooden corridor surrounding it, which can be used by an adult to walk. The wooden boards are inlaid with nails one by one, and the wooden bracket prevents the boards from falling when people step on them. Similarly, it can also provide pedals for thieves.

"Do you have this red mountain flower in your store?"

A few petals fell in the gap between the wood. Zelin had never seen such a flower in Ximu Town. It was either a specialty from Lucan's grocery store or something brought in by outsiders.

"Uh, I don't sell flowers in my shop."

"Where can I find them?"

"You can often see it by the river to the west of town."

"Okay, I get it."

Unlike the people in the small town who stole it, they have no reason to do so. Even if there are not too many sources of income, the people here are self-sufficient and comfortable. The demon hunter learned from Alvor that no residents left the town yesterday, only the prisoner girl, Hadawa, and Laro. Husband, they have no reason to steal from the grocery store.

When Zelin was about to go outside the town to find some clues, Lucan came out alone to find him.

"Hey, listen, I'm glad someone can help find things back. Even if you don't find them, I won't blame you. Of course, there is no money, but you'd better come back alive and tell my sister, Golden Dragon Claw It’s gone, I know she values ​​that paw, but when we came to Skyrim, we finally managed to have a nice town and a grocery store, and we could live a good life. I don’t want a **** Nord legend to let me or me My sister is injured, or worse."

It can be seen that Lucan cherishes his current life and also values ​​his relatives.

"No matter how much the dragon claw is worth, I don't want to lose my sister because of it. She values ​​dragon claw too much. If she wants to find it, she will definitely be in danger."

"I can't promise you anything, but I will try to get it back for you."

Following the direction provided by Lucan, Zelin left Ximu Town. When the ground was no longer paved with gravel, but moist soil, the demon hunter quickly found some unusual footprints. The footprints started from the river, and there was a circle of rolled mud on the periphery. It is conceivable that someone swam directly from the river. He did not choose to walk the stone bridge in the north of the town or the wooden bridge beside the logging field. Obviously, he Want to avoid everyone's sight.

The footprints became shallower and shallower with the distance, but the water on the opponent's boots allowed the footprints to solidify under the action of the cold wind, which made Zelin's tracking much easier.

The Luohan Mountain Range is just above the demon hunter's head, and you can see the architectural remains on the peak when you look up. Those stones have been there for some years, and people have lived here. The ramp up the mountain is intermittently laid with stone steps. However, there are still some relatively young stones. A building that looks like a sentry tower stands on the mountainside. Zelin did not rush up because he saw a wooden house not far away with people living here.

An old lady in a blue robe was taking care of some vegetables on the fenced ground next to the wooden house. Zelin knew cabbage and potatoes, and there was still a plant he didn't know.

The old lady obviously noticed the Demon Hunter, but she kept her head down and ignored Zelin's appearance until Zelin walked up to her.

"I'm just a poor old woman, dear, don't need to trouble me personally."

"Ximu Town is close at hand, but it's not easy to see people who don't want to live in a safer town."

"My name is Annis. This is my home. I don't go anywhere except here."

Zelin thought of the warlock in this blue robe, but the other party’s kind attitude really couldn’t make people feel hostile. Male, the height will not be much higher than me." The demon hunter asked her about the conclusion inferred from his footprints.

"I saw it. Someone went up the road from that road last night." The old lady held a piece of paper in her hand, like an envelope. Although her attitude was friendly, Zelin could feel it. She really hoped that the demon hunter would disappear as soon as possible. When asked, she told Zelin that someone passed by and fled to the mountain without even thinking about it or remembering. If it is a normal person, they will definitely have to think about it, at least there will be a pause when thinking about it.

"Is it true?"

"Of course, my dear, I don't have to lie to you."

"Okay." Zelin hasn't had time to consider what the people in front of him are hiding. There is something wrong here. She must be hiding something, but the thief may be running farther and farther while the demon hunter is considering other things. All the clues point to the Luohan Mountains, Zelin has no reason not to take a look.

"I am a demon hunter. I can help solve monsters, magic, curses, or anything that needs detectives to solve. If you need help, you can go to Ximu Town to find me."

"No problem, dear, of course no problem." Seeing the demon hunter preparing to leave, the old lady's smile deepened.

Chapter 241 Cold Waterfall Tomb

The footprints are dense and numerous.

The footprints on the snow were messy, and Zelin could imagine the scene at that time.

There is a group of people waiting here anxiously for a long time. They paced back and forth until the person who was waiting came back. It can be seen that the golden dragon claw being stolen is not a thief who accidentally stole a golden dragon claw related to the Nord legend. The thief has his accomplices and waits outside the town. They are not like a gang of thieves, but like a group of thieves. With a clear purpose of action, stealing the Golden Dragon Claw is only the first step.

"Let me see what you plan to do."

Along the mountain road all the way up, the temperature changed from the spring at the foot of the mountain to the snowy winter. The climate here is amazing. Near Helgen, the scattered snowflakes made him think that he had come to a severe cold world, but when he arrived in Ximu Town, the surrounding environment made him think that the world was in a warm spring. The green weeds on the side of the road made him unable to believe that just four days ago, the temperature was still cold to death.

The mountains here are not so high, compared with the misty peaks around the sky, at least the Luohan Mountains are like this. On the relatively gentle mountain roads, as long as you pay attention to your feet, there is no danger of slipping and falling. Ze Lin walked up the stone steps, a fox poked his head from the side of the road, carefully looking at the uninvited guest coming down the mountain, and then disappeared into the grass with a swish.

Fox, rabbit, elk, wild wolf.

These are some of the more common animals in Skyrim, as well as the mud crabs in the river. Those crabs that are close to one meter in length can provide an adult with food for a day, as long as you can see through the mud crab's camouflage and escape before being attacked. Those crab claws that can sever human limbs, their meat is a good delicacy.

For the living creatures, Zelin only saw two foxes.

Just living creatures.

At the end of the stone steps is a stone arch with a height of more than three meters. The stone of the arch is pitted, almost a hundred years old, maybe more, but Zelin has never seen a human stone building remnant survived after being abandoned. One hundred years. Behind the arch is a platform covered with snow. On the edge of the platform is some decorative stone carvings, which look strange, like eagles or dragons.

This is like a sacrificial place. Demon hunters don't understand how the ancient people in this world treated their sacrificial places, and if they liked living sacrifices, then they must be very satisfied with the current situation. There are a total of eight people, including men and women. Most of them wear simple fur armor. Only one has steel armor. As for weapons, one-handed dagger, wooden bow, and dagger, there are many gaps on them. They are very simple, considering their clothing. , Even if you find a wooden stick, it won’t be surprising.

Eight people who were supposed to be related to the thieves died here, with obvious stab wounds on their bodies. Zelin squatted next to a corpse. Perhaps because of the temperature, the corpse was already cold, but through blood and other aspects, it could be seen that they died within a short period of time. If Zelin followed Camilla’s advice, he would go straight to the place. In the cold mountains, it is estimated that you can see what they looked like when they were alive, or the people who attacked them.
