The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Joor-Zah-Frul!"

Dragon Soul tears!

The deafening roar echoed on the snow-capped mountain top.

Chapter 931 Reading Room

Demon God, Zelin has already learned about the Demon God of Skyrim. The Book of Darkness is the magic weapon of Hermaeus Mora, and he also has a magic weapon, that is, the ebony blade that he has used for more than a year and is getting sharper and sharper as he fights.

In the past, the demon hunter had no idea that the demon gods of Mephala, Azura, and Metriya were classified as good gods. Now after coming into contact with the knowledge demon God Hemeius Mora and the corrupt lady Namira, he can now understand , Compared with these demon gods, Mephala and Azura are indeed good gods, and the demon gods such as Methiria who once helped the soulless and Tamriel fight against the invasion of Molag Barr are even more so. She deserves the title of the Demon of Light. As for Molag Baal and Melunes Dagon, they are the only two demon gods who led an army of annihilation to attack Tamriel.

Before leaving, Shi Dong told Zelin that there were other forces operating behind these things.

It now seems that Stone should know that the Dark Book is related to Hermaeus Mora, so Nellos would go to a Nordic village who lives on hunting and fishing in order to find the Dark Book. When talking about the Skars, Nellos's disdainful tone showed that he did not get what he wanted from the Skars.

"Skars? What else do they have besides skinning knowledge? If Mora is willing to exchange power for Skal’s knowledge, what's wrong? Hermeus Mora has learned new skinning skills, and Skars Man gained the power to defeat Mirak."

Dwemer Ruins are full of various institutions, most of which are still operating. This ruin is a Dwemer reading room, and the dark book is placed in the center of the entrance hall. But there is a glass-like barrier that protects it, as if deliberately tempting those who seek secrets and powers to put secrets and powers in their hands, but they have no way to get them.

"Don't think about it, I can be sure that there is no magic that can break through this layer of mechanism." Seeing that Francesca tried to use magic to bypass the outer layer of something similar to glass made of unknown materials, Nellos said. " If this thing could be taken out by magic or brute force, it would have been taken away when the dwarf disappeared."

The elf gestured to the transparent barrier, then shook his head, "I can't feel anything inside, as if the space behind this... has been dug out."

The elf tried to use a small teleportation technique to open a small portal, open the other end of the portal in a closed translucent container, and directly take out the book. But obviously, the dwarves at that time made various defensive measures to protect their treasures.

"You are right, we must crack the mechanism in the reading room."

Nellos and them crossed the hall and walked into the room inside. The room is very narrow, with a metal lever fixed on the floor in the middle. Nellos pulled the metal rod, and the stone floor of the room slowly descended with rumbling noises. This reminded Zelin of the elevators he saw in Yanan and Losric. They probably descended less than ten meters before the elevator touched the bottom.

"This ruin is constantly flooded with water. We must find its steam control room as soon as possible, and the dwarves use this block as the key to the mechanism."

They walked into the ruins. In the front hall, most of them were soaked in water. There are many wide metal pipes standing around, but some of the metal pipes have broken, and water flows out along the damaged place, washing the rocks in the corridor. There is some stagnant water on the ground, but due to the inclination of the building, most of the stagnant water gathers on the inside, forming a puddle several meters deep, and the steps leading to the bottom extend all the way to the turbid stagnant water.

According to Nellos’s explanation, they must find all the control cores in the ruins, use one of them to start the pumping machine in the ruins, let the water level drop, and then use the four cores to open the steam pipes and let the steam engine provide energy for the reading room above. In this way, the mechanism can be unlocked and the dark scriptures can be taken out.

Does steam provide energy?

Hearing what Nellos said, both Zelin and Francesca looked at each other in surprise.

This is really a surprising conclusion.

But before they understand the steam machinery of this world dwarf, they must first solve this ruin. Nellos had one in his hand, and they needed the rest.

The Dwarfs have long since disappeared on this land, but the ruins and relics they left have not become quiet and safe because of the departure of their master. The mechanical creatures made by Dwemer still loyally defend the houses and residences of their masters.

When Zelin walked on the corridor on the left side of the hall, the tongue of fire suddenly rising from the ground illuminated the dark corridor in a flash. With the sound of falling rocks, several metal forged spider machines crawled out of the gravel pile. These little machines are like real spiders, they will even jump out of the broken pipes and attack the intruders passing by.

Zelin made a half-turn, avoiding the spider's metal leg stabbing, and slashed with a sword on the side of the mechanical spider. The ebony blade splashed a spark on the dwarven metal, and the metal was chopped out of a gap, revealing the soul stone shining with lilac gleam under the back. When the spider jumped up again, the demon hunter raised his hand and stabbed the soul stone inside. The soul stone gleamed, then burst open. The dwarf spider leaping in the air fell to the ground like a golem that had lost its source of magic power.

Demon hunters flexibly dodge the siege of mechanical spiders in the corridor. These mechanical spiders have no eyes. They are not creatures. There are only two icy, metallic rubies embedded in the place where the shell should be. The pair has not expressed anything, nor will it reveal any emotions. Zelin could not read the attack trend from those eyes, but again, he quickly found a pattern in the offensive of the mechanical spider, and the mechanical creatures did not. Understand what is a feint and what is a false move. Soon, the ground was covered with a pile of parts and fragments of the mechanical spider that had been chopped down.

There was some water on the ground and it was slippery, but this had little effect on Zelin. He had fought on slippery ice. Their plan is to find the location of the control core separately, and then return to the central hall after finding it, and then think of a way to take the core out together.

The corridor looked gloomy, and the uninformed permanent lamp exuded dazzling white light beside the collapsed corridor, but it could only illuminate a small area. After knocking down the mechanical spider on the road, the corridor became much quieter again, until Zelin walked to a small room at the end.

Chapter 932 Mechanical Guard

The room is not big. When Zelin put the ebony blade on his shoulders and walked in, there was only a slight dripping sound.

This is the end of the corridor. The air is very humid. The rising humidity condenses into droplets of water on the slate roof and hangs upside down on the roof. When the water droplets increase to a certain level, they will drop under the action of gravity. Due to the tilt of the room, the stagnant water gathered along the sloping ground at the corner on the left side of the room, and the deepest place was almost knee-deep.

The permanent light in the room was damaged, and Zelin could only use the faint light in the corridor outside the door to see the general structure of the room. There are not many furnishings in this rectangular room, only four stone platforms in the four corners, two of which are almost completely submerged in the water. According to Drummer's house layout, these four stone platforms should be used to place decorations or similar to exhibition cabinets. In the center of the room, there are two metal-paved tracks running across the entire room.

Right in front is a metal fence gate. According to Gnaiya’s past description, these small spaces separated by fence gates and stone walls are Dwemer’s residences. She can often find valuable dwarven metals, gem crystals, or many peculiar shapes in them after opening the door lock. Dwarf equipment.

On both sides of the room, the metal pipes inlaid on the walls are particularly eye-catching. The dwarves use these pipes to transport water and steam. These metal pipes do not know how long they have been standing here quietly. They still retain the metallic luster without the slightest rust. Signs. When Virginia gave himself an enchanted dwarven metal sword, he gave it to Francesca to study the composition of dwarven metal, but finally came to the conclusion that this metal is not a product of forging from ore. It's a synthetic thing, and this technology is probably lost with the disappearance of Dwemer.

Zelin stepped over the metal track fixed to the ground in the middle of the house and walked to the fence gate. As expected, a control core was placed on the table behind the door.

I don't know if the other two have found the remaining core.

There is no lock on the fence door, and there is a control platform on the side, it should be the control core in Nellos's hand to open the door. But with the ebony blade, he doesn't need to follow this route. Zelin raised the blade and severely chopped it down at the fence. The harsh metal collision echoed in the room, and the fence was chopped with a sword mark. Dwarf metal is very hard, but magic artifacts are also not ordinary products. After hacking several swords in a row, a fence finally couldn't support it and broke apart.

"Not enough."

Looking at the gap left by the broken fence, Zelin shook his head, which was not enough for him to walk in and take out the control core inside. So he took a step to the left, ready to cut two more fences, to cut a gap through which he could pass.

But as soon as he passed through the cut open and picked up the control core from the stone platform inside, a sense of crisis surged in his heart.

The slate held down by the controlling core rose.

In the blink of an eye, the room seemed to come alive. The first wave of attacks was expected by the demon hunter, and a small metal hole hidden in the shadow of the corner of the wall suddenly shot a dense rain of arrows in the direction of the fence door. He has seen similar traps. As always, when the stone slab sank, he raised his hand to draw the rune of the Kunen's seal. He stretched out Jieyin's hand in front of him, and the bright orange rune was suspended on his index finger. On the tip, it kept flashing, like a shield hit by a rain of arrows.

While maintaining the shield, the demon hunter moved out, preparing to avoid the place covered by the rain of arrows.

Then there was a buzzing sound in his ears.

When Zelin walked to the center of the room and was about to walk out of the area covered by the arrow, the two parallel rails in the middle of the house suddenly protruded two metal poles about knee height, one of which came out of the stagnant water. Come out, another one appears from the opposite side. The two metal rods began to rotate at high speed, and two sharp blades popped out from the ends, following the metal track from the front and rear sides toward the demon hunter who walked to the middle. The blades emerging from the water threw the sewage everywhere.

Zelin waved his hand, and the rune of Kunen's Seal turned into a bright blue Alder. The burst of air hit the shooting hole. He didn't see the effect, and he didn't have time for him to see it. The demon hunter jumped up, he turned around in mid-air, and two opposite blades slashed under him.

The arrow stored in the arrow hole was shot out, and two wet shooting holes were covered with a layer of frost. When Zelin landed steadily to the door, the last two crossbow arrows shot on the wall beside him, and they were shot into the air. Finally, they rotated and fell into the stagnant water on the side of the room, splashing a splash of water.

A crossbow arrow was inserted on the back of Zelin's shoulder, the anti-magic metal plate blocked one arrow, and the other arrow was inserted into the hard leather soaked in the blood of a gliding lizard. It failed to penetrate, but the third arrow Just hit the gap between the metal plates.

The demon hunter grinned and he squatted on the ground, but the ambush at the door made him too late to take out the arrow. The blade only made a faint wind noise in the dark, so fast that Zelin could only make a tumbling action on the ground. A ball flashed past his eyes, and he failed to see the enemy's appearance at first glance, and the opponent disappeared into the shadow at the other end of the corridor.

After waiting for the second time, Zelin saw what the attacker looked like. An upper body is a humanoid, but the lower body is a spherical mechanical guard. It has a blade in one hand and a crossbow arrow in the other. The rolling sphere allowed it to move at extremely fast speeds. It was like a cavalry, passing by Zelin, then ran to the other side of the corridor and turned around, preparing for the next attack.

But Zelin didn't intend to let it go on like this.

The demon hunter stared at the darkness at the end of the corridor, and the rolling sound from the darkness was getting closer and clearer.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and his slender beast pupils contracted, and he saw the figure of the killing machine gradually appear in the dark shadow. Like the upper body of a humanoid in armor leaning forward slightly, its arm is a blade. It holds its arm flat and rushes over at a very fast speed. He could clearly see the armor on the machine, the gap where the armor was closed, and the blade reflecting the bright lights of the corridor.

The demon hunter turned around in a circle, and suddenly went around to the right hand of the mechanical creature with only the crossbow arrow, and at the moment when the figure was staggered, he vigorously swung the blade.

The upper body of the mechanical guard's humanoid fell to the ground, slid far away and rubbed a spark on the ground, until it hit the collapsing gravel pile on the side of the corridor and stopped. The ebony blade just cut it off from the middle, and the metal ball in the lower half rolled down to the end of the corridor, fell into the stagnant water on the other side, and splashed a lot of water.

Zelin sighed and looked at the arrow sticking in his shoulder. He walked to the crashed machine, bent down to take away the soul stone embedded in the back of the machine, and put the soul stone in the leather bag containing the control core. Inside, return to the central hall.

Chapter 933 The Dwarf Centurion

"How can you be so careless?"

In the central hall, Francesca threw the taken arrow to the ground, and she used magic to simply stop the bleeding. Although this is not a serious and troublesome wound for the demon hunter, he remembers that when Geralt was subduing the vampire bird, he was attacked and grabbed half of his throat. Lying in the Rand Temple for a few months. For ordinary people, that is already a fatal injury that can cause death on the spot.

"Nothing, it's within my scope."
