The Journey of the Demon Hunter

In the center of Skal Village, a white cyclone rises vertically like a whirlpool. The cyclone rushed straight into the sky, and then scattered in all directions in the high altitude not far above the village, forming a semicircle that buckled on the ground, protecting the entire village. Obviously, the Skars took some protective measures after the disaster. Zelin didn't know how many people they protected, but according to the Skal people working on the nearby boulders, there might not be many people left in the village.

The village is located by the sea, and the road to the outside world is hidden among dense pine forests. The cyclone that protects the village makes the nearby wind and snow more manic. Against the cold wind mixed with heavy snow, Zelin walked through the pine forest and walked beyond the cyclone barrier of the village.

"Stop! Outsider, show your identity!"

A Nord standing within the cyclone barrier held an axe and stared vigilantly at Zelin and Serana who suddenly appeared on the edge of their village. Especially after seeing the unconscious Scarlet villager they were carrying, the Nord's vigilance increased even more. "Job? Ola! What did you do to them?!"

"We found them by the boulders outside the village. We came to Southam from the sky, just to solve the trouble on Southam." Zelin spread out his other hand and showed that he has no hostility. "We are approaching At the time of Boulder, we found that they were unconscious, so we brought them here. We learned from the dark elves in Ravenstone Town that the village of Skal is here."

The Skal wore standard Nordic plate armor. After approaching, Zelin realized that this was a woman with pale blonde braids, but her size and posture holding an axe would not make anyone doubtful. , Whether she is a qualified fighter. Not everyone can move like normal people after wearing such a heavy plate armor. She is a woman, but she is also a strong fighter.

"You... can you bring the controlled people back?" The Skal looked at the Demon Hunter in confusion. Her voice is not as soft as women in other places, just like the cold wind in Nord Snow Mountain, rough and tough. "Anyone who is close to the stone will be controlled. Without protection, falling asleep will also be affected by this. Power influence, how can you be okay?"

"Perhaps because we just came to Southam." Zelin couldn't explain it either. He still doesn't know what kind of power control affects the people on this island. "I think these two fainted people They shouldn’t stay in the wind and snow, they need rest and care. Or tie them up to prevent them from waking up and going back.”

"Yes, you are right, we will take care of them. Come in." The Skal did not put away her weapon, but she had already put down her guard posture.

"What's the matter with this barrier?" Zelin stood outside the cyclone barrier and asked the Scarlet.

"I am Freya, and my father Stone is Skal's shaman. This is the barrier he created to protect the rest of the people from the corrupted elemental stone." Freya's The voice is a little low, her village is facing the disaster of extinction, "The barrier will not cause you harm, just walk in."

Zelin and Serana walked through the barrier, and the whistling of the wind and snow immediately disappeared from their ears. The village in the barrier seemed very calm, and it made people feel extremely uncomfortable. Many houses in the village had their doors closed, and the demon hunter had a good hearing. He could judge that the village was quiet not because the villagers were hiding in the houses, but because there was basically no villager in these houses.

"Please put them in this house." Freya walked to a wooden house and opened the door lock with the key. It was cold in the wooden house, and only some burnt charcoal remained in the brazier inside. Freya walked to a corner of the house and picked up the logs stacked in the corner to prepare for a fire. "The bed is on the other side. I will take you to meet our shaman in a while. You saved our two people, my father." I will thank you."

Chapter 923 Large-scale support from another world

The situation of the Skars is worse than Zelin expected.

According to Nicholas, as long as they sleep at night, they will be controlled by the corrupted elemental stones. Perhaps it is precisely because Zelin and the others came to Southsom on the first day and they just had to discuss things so they didn’t sleep late. And then the incident in Yashi Town attracted their attention, otherwise they might have been unknowingly controlled by the corrupted rocks outside Yashi Town. Then Francesca set up some magic enchantments where they lived, maybe just in these accidents, they just avoided the trap of being controlled.

A dead three-toothed seal was hung from a stone basin in the middle of the village, but the flames that were used to grill the seals had long been extinguished. Before the incident, the villagers of Skal were preparing for a celebration, but the sudden disaster ruined it all.

In the open space in the village, Zelin saw Skal Shaman Stone, whom Freya called his father. Shi Dong looked very old, almost sixty years old. He was kneeling on the ground, and the tiny cyclone spiraled up from the open space in front of him, eventually rising to a certain height, and spreading out in all directions. By Stone's side, there are two men and women who are as old as him. According to Freya, these are the other two shamans Fenna and Nicholas in the village of Skal. Nicholas and Fenner are helping Stone maintain the barrier that protects the people in the village from being controlled, and Stone’s strength alone is not enough to maintain the barrier for that long.

"Father, this man brought Ola and Job back! It's them, they are not under control!" Freya said to her father. As you can see, this soldier is very happy to see his clan come back alive. .

Shi Dong slowly opened his eyes, and the wrinkles on his face like the bark of the old locust tree gradually unfolded. He gently glanced at his happy daughter, and then moved his gaze to Zelin not far away. "You brought my people back from the corrupted elemental stone. I thank you for saving them from death." Doom, outsider."

The voice of Shi Dong, who was called the father by Freya, was about his age, and there was a trace of fatigue that could not be concealed. Maintaining the barrier consumed a lot of his power.

"I suggest you leave this island as soon as possible, foreigners, it is dangerous here, we are running out of time, before my power runs out..." Stone persuaded Zelin and Serana, "Corrupted Elemental Stone Will control the entire island."

"I came to this island for these things." Zelin raised his head and looked at the cyclone created by Skal Shaman. Spots of light emitting faint fluorescence were mixed in the cyclone, spiraling with the airflow. Ascend "I think you must know about Milak. Milak sent his followers to Skyrim to hunt down another dragonborn. We investigated that Milak was on Sotherm Island."

"Milak..." A light flashed in Shi Dong's tired eyes, "Are you Dragonborn?"

"It's not me. My companion is the Dragonborn. She is now in the temple of Mirak. I learned that the boulders that control the island of Sotherm are related to the Skars, so I'm looking for your village, hoping to understand all of this. What's going on?" Zelin must know how all this works. They can't worry about whether they will step into a trap all day before they see Milak.

"A dragonborn came to Southham, and my people should be saved." Shi Dongchang sighed. "Milak used a dark power to corrupt the sacred stones. These sacred stones were supposed to spread the Creator's blessing in Southam. Now that the power of the holy stone has been corrupted, it is the power that controls the holy stone. When we discovered it was too late, the holy stones all over Southsom were corrupted almost at the same time, they controlled the Skars, and the south The dark elf."

"How many holy stones are there in total?" Zelin thought of the pool of pools on the edge of each holy stone and the extremely dark liquid inside. "In other words, how many holy stones do we need to deal with to relieve these troubles?"

"Let me do it, father needs to concentrate." Seeing that Zelin still has a lot of questions to ask, Freya took the question from the Demon Hunter. "You come from the south, and what you see should be the beast stone, the holy stone. There are six in total, wind, water, soil, beast, sun and tree. The tree and stone are in the middle of the island. My father made me a talisman to resist the erosion of dark forces outside the barrier. I was about to go to the island. Many of my people went there when they were controlled. I think the secret of Mirak should be hidden in that temple."

"Two of my companions have already gone to the temple. I booked with them and will meet in your village." Zelin waved his hand. "Milak controls these people to build stone prisons outside your holy stone. Maybe We can try to delay his progress. If this enchantment can protect people from being affected, why don't we force those people back?"

"But it doesn't help. We don't know Milac's power and where he is. We can drag them back, but the holy stone is still corrupted." Freya shook her head. "Father's barrier cannot last too long. , Even if we drag them back and wait until the power of the enchantment disappears, they will still be controlled."

"I don't think that controlling these people is Milac's final plan." Zelin stretched out a finger. "The purpose of controlling these people is to build altars around your holy stones. But if we can forcefully stop this. , Maybe we can find out what evil power is entwined around the holy stone."

It's like using a decoy to lure a little bit when you don't know what the monster is, maybe you can achieve unexpected results.

"Milak wants the altar, then we will blow up all the altars that are still being built." Zelin explained to Freya, "I know people from the Eastern Empire Company. If the altar is blown up, Milak will not Outcropping, then we will try to transfer the people on this island, two villages, more than two hundred people, do not need a few boats to leave Southam."

The captain of the Northern Maid was affected in Southam, but after returning to Windhelm, the effect disappeared. This proves that Mirak's power is completely insufficient to leave Southam Island, perhaps only because he can use the Skar Sacred Stone to spread his power across the island. Demon hunters have seen how local herders deal with wild wolves hiding in caves in the wasteland of Kodwin, and they set fire at the entrance of the cave.

"It's impossible for your sword to destroy those altars." Freya finally raised a question, "How do you destroy those **** rocks?"

"What I need is not a sword." Zelin took out his modified bomb. This is not a magic bomb. It is made with Yanan’s gunpowder and explosive barrel gang formula. It is purely a gunpowder bomb based on explosive power. This, Milac won’t know what destroyed his altar."

Chapter 924: Support and Helpers

From Freya's mouth, Zelin learned that there are two holy stones near the village of Skal, apart from the beast stone Zelin has seen, and the wind stone on the east side of the village. Most of the Skars under control work near these two holy stones. According to Freya, at first all of this only existed at night, and it happened when everything fell asleep. By the time they realized that the situation was not right, the influence was so ingrained that when Stone used the power of the shaman to create the enchantment, there were only a few people in the village who were still sober.

The most controlled Skal people worked day and night, working every minute and every second. Their purpose was to build the holy stone into an altar of Mirak. Milak has disappeared in history for thousands of years, and this altar, Stone guessed, may be related to Milak's return.

"The power of darkness desecrates our sacred stone." Standing in front of the beast stone, Freya looked like an enraged leopard. "Let us do as you plan, but first bring all the people here. Don't let them be The possible changes are spreading."

Many Skars work by the corrupted sacred stone, and Freya can't help but frown. "We need more helpers to carry them... back."

"We have other helpers." Zelin nodded to Freya. "And there is more than one."

In Freya's curious eyes, the Demon Hunter crouched down not far from the Wind Stone and wrote two strange runes on the ground with characters she didn't recognize. Afterwards, Zelin took out another bell and shook it in the open place. The melodious ringtone echoed around him, and soon disappeared in the wind and snow.

"What is he doing?" Freya asked Selana on the side, "You are his friend, explain to me, is this a custom in Tamriel?"

"Hometown customs." For those who are unfamiliar, Selana has a lot of "personal habits."

Freya shrugged, watching the Demon Hunter finish all this, her frowning brow became more obvious, "Where is your helper?"

There are no other people around, there is still only the whistling wind.

"They should take some time." Zelin spread his hands, and then looked at the Skal who was still building the altar. "We don't have to wait for them, let's start."

These Skars are strangers to Zelin and Serrana, but to Freya, these people are the Skars she is most familiar with, and they knock out a Skar every time. At that time, Freya had to stand beside the Skal and apologize.

"I'm sorry, Attila, I will try my best to compensate you when this is over."

"Dole, I will take out my best treasured honey wine to apologize to you."

"Baode, please forgive me, I failed to protect the village before the disaster, but I will take you back safely."

Freya rolled up her sleeves, revealing her muscular arms. She has a good control of strength, and a light slap on the back of the head can make a Skal faint on the ground. Zelin thinks that they'd better stop these people who have been working day and night for an unknown period of time. Their minds don’t know where to go, but their bodies will eventually become tired from long hours of high-intensity work. Collapse. To knock them unconscious is to protect them.

Freya did the job of knocking down the Skars, and she was worried about the strength of the demon hunter and Serana. This is not surprising, Zelin stunned the Scarlet man named Job with a stone, which in Freya's eyes would inevitably become an overly heavy attack.

Freya can carry two Skars alone, and Zelin can do the same. After they stunned a few Skars, the helper the demon hunter was looking for finally appeared.

"I heard your ringtone, eh, where is this place?" It seems that the ringtone that was swayed by the demon hunter was spreading around the island and came back again. The same ringtone pierced through the wind and snow, in the snow-covered wilderness. After thinking for a while, it was like responding to the bell that Zelin rang before. A phantom of a hunter in a robe appeared in the white snow and mist. After seeing Zelin who summoned him, the hunter showed a sunny smile.

"Long time no see, Ze Lin, you have a good time."

It's the blond Alfred.

Zelin was a little surprised, he didn't expect Alfred to be alive. The last time he returned to Yanan, he never heard from Alfred.

"I have left Yanan, and I will continue to walk with the master’s belief in punishing evil. The first time I met with you made me feel a lot of emotion. You are willing to help the trapped people for one side, and I should also ask You learn, there are still many people in this world who need our helping hand, don’t they?” Alfred’s handsome blond hair has been cut short, but he still looks cheerful. “After dawn I left, but I still have a resonance bell. Now it seems that my decision is correct. I am really happy to see you."
