The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Actually, you can come with me. The commission of Dragon Stone is paid by Lord Balgruf. He pays a reward for himself. If you help me halfway, he should also give you a copy." The girl thought of a lot. Good reason for persuasion "You are not always looking for commissions, telling others that you are a reliable helper and a valuable hired person. If you can help the lord solve the problem, your reputation will spread throughout the white collar."

I have to say, this is a reason that makes it hard to refuse

"Your eloquence is good. Put him down and let's go."

Chapter 243 The Secret of the Ancient Tomb

"Damn! He ran away!"

The girl's angry roar echoed in the narrow corridor illuminated by the torch. The flame on the torch seemed to be trembling and trembling because of her voice.

The thief's promise was pale and weak, and it was broken with a poke like a thin film. Alvel's oath lasted for about five seconds, just the time it took him to break free from the cobweb and fall to the ground and then stand up straight. Then the thief escaped, leaving a mocking sentence

"You two fools! Why should I share the treasure with you!"

The demon hunter doubted that even if these bandits could find the treasure, Avel would be willing to divide the treasure evenly instead of finding a way to kill other accomplices.

"Don't worry, he can't escape."

Zelin carefully looked at the stone wall of the corridor, and after passing through the stone arch made up by the cobwebs, the Tomb of Cold Waterfall showed a different appearance for them. Different from the collapsed passage outside, the passage in this area is relatively tidy, and the spider webs that can be seen from the entrance disappear without a trace. The demon hunter will not be happy because there are no spider webs that are in the way.

Skilled hunters can find the necessary clues from any sign, obviously, this is a warning sign.

Frost spiders, according to the combat experience he has summed up, once they gather in a group, even the soldiers of the regular army will probably find it difficult to face them. Unfortunately, frost spiders are social creatures, and no one can see them when they are alone, at least not before the demon hunter. But they were blocked in front of the stone arch. Zelin didn't think it was because the spiders thought their territory was large enough and abandoned the rest of the tomb.

The only explanation is that there are more terrifying things under the tomb that will discourage these frost spiders.

Avel the Swift, his title is well-deserved, and he runs faster than a rabbit.

"If I were him, I wouldn't flee to the depths of the ancient tomb." Zelin shook his head, and the sound of the opponent's footsteps faintly came from the other side of the corridor, which proved that Aville was still alive.

"The treasure is only a few hundred steps away from him. If he understands that his life is more valuable than the treasure, he will not come to the ancient tomb."

"But he didn't know, the treasure inside was actually Dragon Stone."

"There are one or two dusty ancient Nord gold coins." She tossed the gold coin in her hand into the air, caught it with her other hand, and reached out to the demon hunter. "You really don't want it."

"First come first served, I also found some good things." After searching in the ancient tomb, the demon hunter understood why young people in this world would like to be an adventurer. You can find gold coins worth dozens of fox fur only in the remaining boxes outside the ancient tomb. This is much faster than being a hunter or a farmer. Zelin even found a purple crystal with good color. I guess You can sell dozens or hundreds of Septins. "And our rabbit is in trouble."

The sound of Alvel's footsteps stopped, replaced by the sound of swords intertwining. In the tunnel, any sound is so obvious. There is no one inhabited here, and the walls reveal a cold chill. What will be able to use weapons to fight intruders? Is it the ghoul mentioned earlier? It sounds like a group of living corpses, but how can the corpses be alive? Even a corpse awakened by the forbidden necromancy, it is impossible to fight like a real warrior.

"Hi! There are still some gold coins in this jar!"

"You take it first, I'll go ahead and have a look."

Zelin drew out the weapon, after some consideration, he still chose the steel sword. Although a silver sword is needed to kill monsters, this is another world. He saw those robbers who came here use iron weapons, and girls also use iron swords to deal with frost spiders. If the Frost Spider can be solved with a steel sword, then other monsters should also be able to use steel weapons to deal with.

Silver swords are more expensive to repair than steel swords. Even if you want to experiment with the effects, you have to start with cheaper weapons.

Passing through a small curved hall, the passageway suddenly starts to go downwards, and there is no longer a round stone wall around it. Instead, a vacancy like a long board box is cut out on the wall, and each vacancy is placed inside. With the shriveled corpse. Unlike the depressed narrow passage, this tomb is spacious, and the stone pillars and walls are carved with the same dragon head carvings as those outside the ancient tomb. The ancient Nords must know how to deal with corpses. These tombs are old, but most of the corpses are still well preserved.

However, some tombs where the bodies should have been lying are empty.

Zelin then found the missing body.

"Don't try to stop me! You can't! Neither can these **** ghouls!" Alvear, it is estimated that he can no longer be called a swift person. It is the disappearing body. There were three corpses in total, two of them had simple armors, and the remaining one had only a tattered shroud.

These corpses may be what are called ghouls.

"Hand over the dragon's claws, and you can leave alive."

"Don't think about it! The treasure here is mine! Neither of you want to take it away!" Alville held his sword, stepping back as the demon hunter approached. "Don't want to catch up with me!" He turned around. , Dragging his injured leg, ran forward with all his strength, "I am the owner of the treasure!"

The answer to him was a creak of the rotation of the axle wheel.

The thief didn’t know what he had stepped on and triggered the mechanism around him. He saw a wooden fence with dense blades turning suddenly. The force and the sharp point of the blade made the entire fence slash away from Alver’s body without any hindrance. Past. The demon hunter had to step back a few steps to avoid the splashing blood and residual limbs.

"What did I hear, what happened, where did the thief escape?"

"Thief?" Zelin's voice was calm. "Up and down, left and right, he is everywhere in the air."

The girl quickly understood. "Uh, okay, then this means that we have lost someone who can help break the door of the Hall of Story." She sighed, "The golden dragon claws shouldn't have fallen into the air yet."

"Lucky, not yet." Zelin found the golden claw from the ground. It was exactly the same as Lucan's description. A dragon claw made of pure gold is definitely valuable. It is not worthwhile to put it in a grocery store as a decoration. "Look at this." The demon hunter picked up a blood-stained log from the ground. It was Avel's note. "You should be interested in the things in it."

"A thief's diary?" The girl took the red-skinned notebook with a puzzled face, rolled a few glances, and then the frustration and confusion on her face was wiped out. "This guy actually wrote his conclusions in the diary!"

"And his theft process and psychology." The diary described in detail how Avel himself stared at Lucan's golden dragon claws and then stole the process. This is a strange guy, and he must be someone who has confidence in himself. , Otherwise, how could a normal thief leave his evidence on his notes.

"I have to admit that writing a diary is a good habit, otherwise I will really fall short." The Nord girl didn't care about the blood in the diary at all, and received her arms. "Let's go, let's take the dragon stone quickly Go, and find a hotel to have a good rest. I don’t want to run errands anymore. Do you think I’m like a postman who runs errands everywhere, and then I don’t know where I was shot to the head?"

"Very similar."

Chapter 244 The Ghoul Overlord

"The third ring is this figure... turn the inner ring again, yes, it's this... and the middle... well, so it's right."

Avel's notes helped a lot. With the sound of the rotating shaft wheels, the metal door at the end of the story hall with frescoes slowly descended, presenting the last space behind it in front of the demon hunter.

This is not a tomb dug out by hand, rather it is a naturally formed cave. An unknown stream flows out from one side of the cave, encircling a half ring, and then from the other side, it is unknown where it is going. A simple stone bridge connects the entrance steps with the center of the cave. Because of the stream, there is obviously a sense of dampness in the cave, and there are many moss growing on the stone bridge and the ground. The cave is not like the outside, there is no torch lighting, but the top of the cave seems to have been deliberately dug out a crack. The silver moonlight just shines through the gap and spreads on the high platform in the deepest part of the cave, creating a sacred and quiet atmosphere. Atmosphere.

This place must have been unattended for a long time. Bats are building nests here. When they step in, the sound of footsteps makes the bats dance.

"Look here, I think this used to be a place of worship."

"This is by no means a mere grave."

The stone platform, which is nearly four meters high, spirals upwards on both sides of the stairs. On the stone platform are placed a metal table cabinet, a black metal treasure chest full of patterns, and a heavy iron coffin, also made of dark black metal. Into. The identity in the coffin must not be low before life, whether it is a lord or a sacrifice. But the most attractive thing to note is the inside of the stone platform, the curved stone wall that is almost as high as the stone platform. The top of the stone wall is carved with a dragon head statue. Compared with the dragon head outside, which has been blurred due to the years, the dragon head here is lifelike and extremely delicate, allowing the demon hunters to recognize at a glance, what kind of worshipers of the ancient Nords are. Creatures.

There are four lines of writing on the stone wall. Zelin doesn't know how the ancient Nords carved the characters on the stone wall, but these characters have no similarities with the current writing. The shape of each character is quite different, just as sharp as the dragon head statue. The only similarity is that each character has only three strokes.

"You find the dragon stone, and we will leave as soon as possible." Zelin stared at the wall for a while, then shook his head and walked to the metal box. There may be scholars who understand what is carved on it, just as the demon hunter once received protection folklore scholars to survey in the ancient tomb, but he is a demon hunter and has no interest in studying ancient characters. "Are you listening?" "

"Ah... uh, me, I'm listening."

The girl seemed to be distracted. Seeing such an ingenious design, her expression was excusable. The demon hunter refocused his attention on the metal box in front of him. This is like a treasure chest, he has to find a way to open it, and if the dragon stone mentioned by the girl is not placed outside, it should be hidden in the chest.

But then, behind Zelin, there was a sound he didn't want to hear the most---metal rubbing, and the iron coffin on the side was pushed aside.

"Ghoul!"

When the demon hunter turned around, he drew his sword.

"You are good at archery, right?"

"I still have a few Ancient Nord arrows here." On the way they met several ghouls, including not only warriors but also archers. Girls who don't have arrows are naturally unwilling to let go of the opportunity to search for trophies. Ordinary ghouls are not difficult to deal with, but this ghoul looks different from the others.

"I will face it, hide, and find a chance to kill him."
