The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"This journey is quite difficult, but fortunately I have weapons."

Zelin said some words, but in fact he said nothing. This kind of words can be applied to any traveler.

When they drove out of the foggy area, their vision suddenly became clear. Zelin stood on the bow and looked at the lake he was in. He was very happy to be able to meet a man in a boat. It is definitely not a wise decision to swim to the shore with a bunch of things from the ruined area just now—the area of ​​the lake is too big.

It was still morning, and the sun was hanging in the blue sky, and the whole land was bright and colorful. When they were in the middle of the lake, they couldn't even see any shore. They could only vaguely see a huge rock standing on the lake behind them, and a place built on it that looked like a human town. Several unknown birds flew in mid-air, and from time to time a few white clouds floated in the sky, covering the snow-covered mountain peaks in the distance.

"Your home is there, right?" Zelin's pointed behind him, "Floating towns, do you have to rely on boats when you travel?"

"No, there is a bridge. On the other side of the town, if you want to go to the city, it's best not to cross the boat. When you get to the bridge, there will be guards who will ask you to check you, otherwise it will be an illegal entry. The mayor doesn't like foreigners from unknown sources. People." Bud masterfully controlled the barge. He opened the sails and let the wind push them to the other side. He must have been doing this for a long time. "Where is my home, where is your home?"

Zelin shook his head gently, "I have no home in this world."

"Sorry."

"It's nothing. I'm a traveler. In this world, I can go anywhere." Zelin took a deep breath. The fresh air here made him think of Tao Sente's appearance. "If I continue to go north What will I encounter if I walk face-to-face?"

"The lone mountain where the dragon is entrenched, and there is still a place where no grass can grow." Bud adjusted the sails. "You have reached a very north position. You can stay here or go back to the south along the Anduin River. ."

"If my pen and paper don't fall into the water like me, I should be able to write down what's here." Zelin rubbed his hands and breathed a sigh of relief. This world gave him a good impression, at least in the first sense, unlike the wind and snow in the sky, the decline of Losric and the dusk of Yanan, the natural impression of Rome can be compared with here. Of course, it would be nice if the place where he lived here would not be blown up and burned like Monteriggioni.

"Hey, I might be able to live in your town for a while, is it safe for you?"

"The only trouble the town has to face is the mayor and his attendant Alfred. He may make things difficult for you." Bud raised his head. "Are you a traveler?"

"Perhaps, sometimes I can't tell." Zelin shrugged

This means that everything is normal in this world, and it is much safer than in Losric, when I heard that this world likes to throw people into the fire. This is a world he is familiar with. He has seen too many humans as described by Bud. For the Demon Hunter, the human problem has never been a big problem.

The ship moved slowly, the sun was shining on it, and the wind that was blowing didn't seem to be so cold anymore. Soon, a touch of emerald green appeared on the lake in the distance, which was the color of the forest. The dense woodland looks very green under the bright sunshine, and a river almost eight meters wide flows into the big lake along the river channel surrounded by rocks. After getting closer for a few minutes, Zelin noticed that there was a simple wharf constructed with planks and stakes at the mouth of the river.

There are some artificial fences on the wharf by the river, which span the entire river, and some empty wooden barrels flow down the river and are eventually blocked by these fences. Bud propped the boat close to the dock, he jumped up, and Zelin followed up, waiting for the former to fix the barge's cable to the dock stake.

"If you don't mind, help me move these empty buckets from the river to the boat." Bud walked over and began to take out the wooden buckets washed down by the river.

"This is your job?" Zelin walked over, and the fence used for interception just allowed a person to squat down and fish up the barrel. Helping a person can gain trust and understand more about the world. Besides, he wouldn't mind helping a little bit in this matter.

"The wooden barrels from the Woodland Kingdom are left over after the elves drank the wine. All I have to do is come here every day and bring the empty wooden barrels back." Bud pulled the barrel up and sealed the barrel. , It can be guaranteed that they will not sink to the bottom of the river because of the irrigation water. Some wooden barrels have impact marks, which must be caused by the rocks on both sides of the dense forest river, but the quality of these barrels is very good, the same as the oak barrels used by Tousent for wine.

But Zelin noticed a word in Bud's words.

"Elves?"

"You walked through the dense forest and didn't see them?" Bud carried the barrel to the barge, and the water wet the shoulders of his coat.

"Yes, it's not safe. I agree." Zelin also carried a wooden barrel, which was washed by the river, but there was still some residual wine taste in it. The elves of this world seemed to like mellow wine very much. I don’t want to stay in it, maybe I didn’t see it. When I go back, please help me point out the road leading to the town, I want to go there."

A human town is very safe and suitable for temporary living, and obviously not like Helgen and Monteriggioni. He has any reason not to go there.

Chapter 591: At Night

The portal threw him into the water, but it took him to a nice place. Just near the human town, Zelin didn't know how effective the Axifa Seal had been on the humans here. It was very useful in Rome, but it was of little use in Losric. But he is not in a hurry. The world is neither facing a crisis of extinction, nor are a few dragons suddenly falling from the sky and burning people and towns to ashes. The only known dragon is that they guard a large number of treasures in the legend, hiding not far away. The dragon in the lonely mountain.

But it is asleep, and no one disturbs its sleep. It has been asleep for many years without any movement, and there is no sign of waking up. Zelin didn't believe that he would encounter strange things like the dragon waking up in the few months he was here.

"As a travel writer, your stamina is great." Throwing the last empty bucket on the barge, Bud rubbed his hands and said to Zelin, "You must have been to many places to exercise this good body. Come."

"Sometimes I need to use a sword to protect myself." Zelin moved his shoulders. He was able to put two empty buckets on the boat at the same time, and he did not show any fatigue. Sword, you may be tired to the ground first. Even if you want to escape, you must have a good body. You may not be able to run fast, but endurance is important for running for a long time. Are you right?"

While carrying the empty barrels, Zelin had been chatting with Bud, most of the legends and stories about this place, historical people and some things about Changhu Town. Especially the legendary dragon, the demon hunter has seen dragons in the sky, and dragons on the top of the ancient dragon. It is said that the dragons of this world destroyed the dwarven kingdom of the past and occupied the lone mountain where the entire kingdom was located.

The city-state kingdom, the country in this area seems to be the city-state kingdom, similar to the state in the world where Zelin was when humans just landed. But this is good, Zelin does not need to spend too long to learn about a place and the laws and regulations it is implementing. He can live here normally for a period of time, just like when he was in Rome, earning something like gold and gems by the way.

"Do you know what job is best to find in Long Lake Town?" Zelin asked Bud. "I'm afraid I need to make some money and need food supplies. I can't go on the road on an empty stomach. You see, my stuff." They are all wet, and a lot of things have fallen into the lake. Could you please tell me, where should I find a job?"

"You can go to the mayor and tell him that you can help transport the wine sold to the elves." Bud untied the rope. "There have been more and more weird things in the dense forest recently. The last delivery person said he was in the forest. When I saw a huge spider, I refused to go again. The news spread more and more, and the warehouse was full of wine to be delivered to the Woodland Kingdom. You only need to say that you are willing to deliver the goods, and the mayor will not care if you are. Where do you come from."

Trade can be said to be the life of Long Lake Town. People live by fishing, but the freshwater fish produced in the big lake can only ensure that people in Changhu Town will not go hungry. These things cannot be exchanged for gold. It is said that the mayor of Changhu Town is a businessman who started his business by trading and has controlled Changhu Town for a long time. The trade with the woodland kingdom has earned him enough gold. It can be said that the trade with the elves has problems, and the most anxious one is not the people in the town, but the mayor.

"It sounds like you don't like the mayor?"

Zelin asked casually. Bud doesn't seem to be a complaining person, maybe this is really a problem.

"If he can use a small portion of the money he earns from the trade to improve the town, the people in Long Lake Town will not be like what they are now." Bud jumped on the board, filled with wooden barrels. The boat swayed lightly. "Winter is coming soon. The town of Long Lake lacks food and there are fewer and fewer fish. I can only hope that the mayor will be wiser and stop taking it from the elves. The goods were exchanged for gold, but for some food, and the food in the town began to be short. I am worried that some people will not be able to survive this winter."

"Your mayor should give you wages?" Zelin was standing on the shore, Bud had to go to the freight dock, and the demon hunter had nothing urgent, so he risked being treated as a smuggler. According to Bud, if you go around from the shore, you will arrive at the wooden bridge on the shore linking the town of Long Lake tomorrow morning. If you drive overnight, you can see the shadow of the bridge before dawn.

"There is no difference between paying wages and plucking meat on him." Bud held the boat and pushed hard, and the barge left the dock. "You are going to the town to find a job. Don't expect too much wages. Good luck. "

"Good luck also." Zelin nodded, watching the barge float back into the lake again.

Sighing, stepping on the fine pebbles by the river and walking along the lake towards Changhu Town, Zelin picked up some branches. The sun was good at noon, but in the evening, he was dressed wet in the cold wind. My clothes are not a good choice. He needs these things to make a fire and to dry the clothes that stick to him like mud. Eat something by the way, regain strength, clean the potion bottle, take out the straw stuck in the cloth bag and throw it away.

By the time he had dealt with all this, it was already the afternoon of the day. Looking at the wide lake and the shore that stretched to the end of the line of sight, Zelin thought that Bud was right. He couldn't reach the entrance of Long Lake Town during the day. But he was not in a hurry. It was a brand new world, and there was nothing terrible to urge him to finish it, although he was going to sleep on a hard and cold stone tonight instead of resting on a soft bed near the fire in the hotel. It was a pity, but this did not affect the mood of the demon hunter.

"Let's go, Avak."

Zelin took out the skull of the ghost horse, a faint blue light flashed, and Avak, whose soul was lodged in the skull, appeared in front of the demon hunter. The gravel-ridden lake is not suitable for horseback riding, so Zelin put the cloth bag on his shoulders on Avak's back.

"Don't mind helping me carry the package for a while."

After a period of baking, the clothes on the body are not completely dry, but they are not so cold. It was not close to the territory of the woodland elves, and it was also some distance away from Long Lake Town. He didn't worry about being seen by ghost horses, and eventually causing some misunderstanding.

I have to say that the trip to Skyrim was the most rewarding trip for the Demon Hunter. Now he only hopes to get some valuable things or help in this world, just like Skyrim.

Chapter 692: Long Lake Town

The wooden bridge in Changhu Town is about hundreds of meters in length.

Unlike Zelin's expectation, this is a pontoon built with many wooden boats. Such a bridge is not that strong, but it is wise for towns that pay attention to relying on water trade. When the town is under attack, the guards can quickly destroy the pontoon bridge. The cold lake water is the best barrier, and they don't need a wall to enclose themselves.

The demon hunter spent the night on the shore of the lake near the town, behind which is a place called dense forest. This forest seemed a little dangerous under the dark night. Zelin didn’t know what kind of monsters or dangerous beasts existed in this world, but this forest gave him a not-so-good feeling, whether it was too dense trees or The darkness in the forest that is hard to peek. Dark and dense forest, there is nothing wrong with using this name to describe this forest.

After everything was ready, Zelin walked along the pontoon towards Changhu Town. The dawn sunlight crawled across the roof of Long Lake Town, spreading golden light on the gray tile roof. It seemed that there was a snow before, and there was still a little white snow remaining on the roof. The sparkling water of the lake was glowing with waves, slapped on both sides of the long bridge, pushing some floating broken ice to the side of the bridge. These wooden boards made a creaking sound when they stepped on it, but they were still stable and firm. At the end of the long bridge stood a small house made up of wooden boards.

"Hi, someone is coming."

There was no one on the long bridge except Zelin, people were all in boats, and no one used the bridge at all. When Zelin walked over, the guard in the bridgehead hut immediately noticed him. None of them stood guard, and no one was on guard. A group of soldiers just stayed inside, sipping beer while roasting.

They came out with spears one after another, holding some funny pointed caps on their foreheads, with the white foam of beer still on the corners of their mouths.

"Who are you? Where are you from? What are you doing here?" The guards came around. They were all wearing cotton-padded coats with iron plates, chain mail, and cloaks with iron shoulder armor. But their laughing appearance and slightly unstable footsteps are really sorry for this suit.

"Zelin, one came from the south." The demon hunter looked at these soldiers. "A traveler, this should be Long Lake Town, right? I think I didn't come to the wrong place." Zelin recalled what Bud had given before. With the information he revealed, he began to think in his mind how to introduce himself "Gondor, maybe some of you know that place?"

Several guards looked at each other.

"What are you doing in Long Lake Town? You have been away for at least a year."
