The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Our new boss asked you to come?" In Grove's forge, the blacksmith sitting by the whetstone took the letter Zelin handed him. This was written by Jacqueline in Snowman, giving Grove the experience to help Zelin investigate the cultists hiding on Southham Island. A letter is worth one hundred Septins. "Well, I see, you What do you want from me?"

In the blacksmith's shop, several hammers made of forged were hung, as well as some miners' shovels and small hammers. The voices of the shops in Raven Stone Town were very bad. No outsiders came here. The flames in the forge of the blacksmith's forge had been extinguished. Grove was boringly polishing a dagger when Zelin pushed in. The bright tiles are bright.

"Milak, I want to know where Milak is?" Zelin sat on the chair in front of Grove and leaned forward to look at him. "There are also a group of masked cultists, on this island, Where can I find them?"

"Milak...?" Hearing this name, Grove showed a confused look just like Senator Alder on the dock. "Milak..." He stood up, lowered his head while remembering, and whispered. Reading the name "Milak... I feel like I have heard this name somewhere, and I don't seem to have heard it."

Zelin looked at Grove, who thought for a while, and finally sat back in his seat. "I don’t know. I may have heard this name, but I don’t know why. When I think of it, I I think of the ground rock outside Crow Rock. I don’t know where I have heard of it."

"Earth Rock?" Zelin noticed the name he had never heard before. "What is this?"

"This is the stone of power worshiped by the ancient Nord tribe of Skar on Southam Island." The topic shifted from the name Mirak, and Grove immediately became talkative a lot. "Skar The leader of is the shaman of their tribe. They worship the element and the creator. They live on the other side of the island. There are several huge stones named after the element on this island. The ground stone is one of them. It is in Ravenstone Town. Aside. I haven't seen the Skal in a while, you can go to them and ask."

"Thank you for your help." Zelin stood up and patted his leather pants. Just when he turned around and was about to leave the forge, he suddenly asked, "Do you remember other things about Milak? For example, his followers. ?"

"Uh...Milak's words..." Grove's eyes showed a confused look again. "I, I always feel like I've heard it, but my memory seems to have a hole through which a carriage can pass. I I don’t know what’s going on, but I... I can’t tell where I heard the name Milac, but I’m sure I know him.”

Zelin looked at him a few times, and finally shook his head, turned and walked out of the smithy.

"Good luck to you."

Standing on the street in Ravenstone Town, Zelin watched several dark elf pedestrians walking on the road, and Redoran guards wearing special skeleton armor were patrolling both sides of the street. For some reason, in this small town, as long as the name of Milac is mentioned, the townspeople will be in a state of confusion. They seem to have heard of the name, but they have no specific impression. This is very abnormal, Zelin has never encountered such a situation, but he has heard that some spellcasters in his world try to impose a curse on their own name after committing a crime to prevent other detectives from pursuing it, but This magic technology was lost after the Novigrad Treaty.

"It's easy to feel lonely on this remote island, don't you think?"

A female dark elf with a pointed chin greeted Zelin who walked out of the forge.

"Of course, beautiful lady, I think you must have a name that is equivalent to beauty." Zelin withdrew his gaze to the dark elves who were casually accosting outsiders. "I wonder if I have the honor to hear your name? "

"I am from the Severin family, Miri Severin." The dark elf covered his mouth and smiled. "You tell me, in Southam, my family is richer than Senator Morfan, Morfan Councillors will also listen to my family’s suggestions."

"Your family must be very great, beautiful young lady." Looking at the smiling dark elf, Zelin suddenly asked, "But have you heard of Milac?"

The smile was replaced by confusion in the blink of an eye.

"M, Milac... uh, sorry, I..." Severin took a deep breath and rubbed his forehead. "I don't feel good, I don't remember this..." She thought for a while, and finally shook I shook my head, "I can't remember where I heard this name. Please forgive me for my gaffe, I'm leaving now."

As he said, the dark elf strode towards the house on the other side of the street, and almost hit a patrolling guard of the Redoran family on the road.

Seeing the direction where the dark elf disappeared, Zelin couldn't help squinting his eyes.

"Hey, would you like to try the latest Sujama on the corner of the vomiting street?" A familiar voice rang from Zelin's ear, and the Dragonborn's arm wrapped his shoulder from the other side. Gneya's smiling face peeked into the sight of the demon hunter from the side, her face was stained with ashes some time ago, and the hand that held her shoulders also carried a small earthenware jug. Seeing Zelin's gaze, she turned her head and looked down the street, "Wow~ a beautiful dark elf girl? What clue did you find?"

"Milak, there is a problem with this name."

"What?"

"Let's go back to the hotel to talk."

Chapter 917 The Other Side of Southam

When the night was late, they were in Francesca's room, discussing the next move.

Gnaiya helped the priest of the temple to solve the ashes that appeared in the tomb of the temple, but in the temple, she did not ask anything about Milak. This is very strange. According to Patunax, Milak was once the priest of the Dragon Cult that ruled Sotham, and there was an ancient temple related to Milak until after Milak betrayed the Dragon Cult, this temple It was destroyed under the attack of the dragon and dragon sacrificial Valok. It stands to reason that it is impossible for a temple priest who is proficient in history and humanities to remember the name Milak.

"This island has a problem, a big problem." Zelin, Gnaya, and Serrana were sitting at the table, while Francesca was sitting on the bed, reading a book on ash crops. Plants that can grow in the land covered by volcanic ash and have strong vitality quickly attracted the interest of the elves. "We all know that Mirak appeared, but no one on this island remembers Mirak's name. Generally speaking. In other words, there are only two situations. Either they really don’t remember Milak, or Milak’s power is strong enough to affect everyone on the island."

"The former is obviously impossible." Ganya continued, "Milak has appeared. Most people in Skyrim know that there is such a group of cultists, but the people on Southam Island don't even know the existence of cultists."

"I don't like this feeling..." Serana shook her head.

An obvious thing is something that many people know about the sky near Southam, but on Southam Island, no one realizes this. Everyone seemed normal, but everyone seemed very abnormal.

"The people from the thieves' union told me that he thinks Mirak is related to the rock outside Southam, and the rock is the branch of the Nords on the island of Southam in the past, where the Skal worshipped nature."

Maybe the Nords on Southam Island have something to do with Milak. The Dragonborn is the ancient legend of the Nords. He had better find the opportunity to go to the villages of the Stones and the Skars to take a look. Maybe he can find clues related to Mirak. The scale of this island is so large, it is impossible for those cultists to leave no traces. Rather, the dragonborn Genaya they were looking for came to this island on their own initiative, and they would definitely not continue to hide.

"Wait..." Francesca, who had been reading a book, suddenly raised her hand, "Did you hear any noise?"

Zelin narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was indeed a sound of footsteps outside the hotel room. Although the dark elves are completely different from humans in various living habits, they need to sleep and rest at night like humans. It stands to reason that there should not be so many footsteps in the hotel now. This is not just one or two people walking around. Hearing the footsteps outside the door, Zelin can tell that this is all the dark elves in the hotel walking by in front of their room together.

He gestured to the other people in the room, walked to the door, and held the hilt in one hand. Gnaiya also drew out the two short swords that she had pinned to her waist. As for Serana and Francesca, although they didn't say anything, Zelin could feel that they were ready to throw flames and ice cones on the face of the intruder who broke in.

Draw the rune of the Kunen's seal, Zelin took a deep breath, and then suddenly opened the wooden door of the guest room.

There are no intruders.

There was no one standing in front of the door.

Zelin stood at the door and looked around, and soon he found the source of those footsteps. The innkeeper Gidis and his wife are walking towards the steps leading to the inn, and another dark elf who lives in the guest room, like them, walks out of the other room and walks out of the door.

"What's the matter?" Longyi also stood in front of the door, staring at the three dark elves who were behaving abnormally. In such a dark night, they went out by appointment instead of staying in the room to rest. "Shall we follow?"

"You stay here, Gnaiya, I'm worried that this might be deliberately tempting us to leave." Zelin didn't hide when he walked out. It is impossible for the three dark elves who came to the door to notice their actions. , But they still seem to have seen nothing. "I'll go out with you. Be careful not to let other people over."

"No problem." Gnaiya nodded. "While they leave, I will carefully collect this hotel. Maybe I can find something useful."

The demon hunter looked at the Dragonborn, and finally he sighed, "Don't take away the expensive things."

"Hey, when this matter is over, I will discuss with you, what kind of image I am in your eyes!"

Zelin stepped lightly, following the place where the three dark elves had walked, and walked out of the hotel. The demon hunter originally thought that at this time, the streets of Crowstone Town should be very empty. There are not many residents here. Naturally, it will not be like a prosperous city. At night, there are so many residents who come out for shopping and walking, even Solitary City. The night is so quiet.

But standing on the street, Zelin saw many dark elf residents, as if they were gathering in a place, staggering towards a certain direction outside the town.

The innkeeper Gidis, Brad Delaire looking for a job in the hotel, Anora, the wife of Senator Adel, Della Alor, the priest of the temple, the Redoran guards in the town, and the evening The elves he accosted, many dark elves, whether they were known or not to Zelin, opened their eyes dumbly, dragged their bodies, and walked out of the city. Even if Zelin stood in front of them, these dark elves did not respond. Although they had their eyes open, Zelin could see that their consciousness was not there at all.

"When the world listens again..."

Zelin held down a dark elf's shoulder.

"When the world remembers again..."

Although the dark elf stopped, his mouth began to utter a sound of words.

"In his temple..."

"Forgotten by others..."

Zelin walked among the dark elves. He tried to call in a few townspeople. Although these townspeople stopped, they didn't respond to external stimuli.

"It will be regained in the night..." Zelin grabbed a guard of Redoran. The guard turned his head and stared blankly at the demon hunter who was blocking his path. "Stolen in the day..."

"Damn..." Zelin looked at the residents of Crowstone Town. At this moment, he seemed to be standing among a group of wandering undead, but these undead had other targets instead of rushing to attack him. During the day, everything was normal for this group of residents, but at night it became like this. There must be a powerful user of supernatural power behind to control everything, and he must find that person.

Thinking of this, Zelin pulled up his hood, mixed into the dark elves wandering outside the town, and walked with them to an unknown destination.
