The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"I'll talk about it later."

The first thousand and sixty one chapter Xuewu travels

The weather in Huishuang Mountain is sunny most of the time, but the wind and snow will always come suddenly when everyone did not expect it, and hit everyone by surprise. The sun was still shining in the morning, the snow was dazzling in the foothills, and in the afternoon it became densely covered with dark clouds, and the sky was full of wind and snow.

Zelin pushed open the wooden door of the tavern in the hermit town, and the cold wind came in and made the fire in the tavern's fireplace dim a bit. He walked sideways in the door, and hurriedly closed the door before the warmth from the fireplace was dissipated by the cold wind. On a snowy day, the soldiers all returned to their camps, and the residents stayed at home to keep warm. There was no guest in the tavern.

"It's terrible weather." Zelin took off his soft leather cap and patted the snow on it. Thinking of going down the mountain in such bad weather, the demon hunter couldn't help sighing lightly.

"Did you hand over the things to Commander Cullen?" Friza, who was sweeping the floor, straightened up, holding the broom in one hand and the waist in the other, and asked Zelin. She cleaned up the empty cups and tabletops left by the soldiers after they left.

"He received it." Zelin patted the snowflakes off his shoulders. He didn't quite understand why the Judgment Order didn't send soldiers to take away the purchased items, but asked the people in the tavern to send them to him. "Oh, yes. , I want to tell you one thing, I'm sorry, I may have to leave for a while. Seeker Cassandra gave me a tracing commission."

For this matter, Zelin felt a little sorry. He said this morning that he might be staying here for a month, and Frieza said that he would not have to look for other helpers for the next month. As a result, he was going to say goodbye this afternoon.

"I see, it's okay. Today, there was an elf bard in Recluse Town. I invited her to sing in the tavern. It should make people complain less. Sometimes she should be able to help too." Frieza leaned on the broomstick. On the wall, walk behind the counter and present a prepared package.

"This is the food prepared for you." She put the package full of food on the counter, then bent down again, grabbed a handful of coins and placed it on the table, lined up to see about a dozen silver coins. The Demon Hunter was a little surprised. It stands to reason that this should be the silver coin given to him in half a month. In fact, the gems he carries can sell several gold coins. According to his understanding, silver and copper coins are the largest in circulation in the world. Gold coins contain a high amount of gold, but they are also very small.

"What's the matter with these silver coins?"

"Sister Lelianna told me about you. She said that you are leaving, so you must have some travel expenses outside. This is an advance payment to you." Looking into the eyes of the demon hunter, Frieza whispered. "I told you that it was Sister Lelianna who invited me to open a tavern here. I used to open a tavern in Dunlim, the capital of Ferrerdon. I knew Leliana ten years ago. Yes, sometimes I will tell Lelianna interesting news that happened in Dunlim, and we always keep in touch."

The demon hunter quickly understood the implications of Frieza's words.

"So let me deliver to Cullen today. Sister Leliana meant it?"

The tavern is the most noisy place here. It is definitely better to let an intelligence partner who has a good relationship with him in the past manage the tavern than someone who has no relationship with the church to open the tavern. No wonder Leliana would have told Zelin unintentionally about the tavern in the secluded town before leaving.

Classical induction.

"It's not. I really don't know how to do it." Frieza bent down and took out a small box behind the counter. "This is something sent by Sister Leliana this morning, shortly after you left. The person who sent it specifically confessed to hand this to you personally. There is also a horse with a harness ready, right at the back door of the tavern, and they said you can take the horse away."

"They prepared very well." Zelin took the small box, and after opening it there was a folded map with a note inside the map. Two locations are marked on the map. Hongya and Lorzerin, the latter of which is specially marked, because Lorzerin was Hawke's hometown when the plague had not erupted ten years ago. As for the small note, it contains some simple introductions, such as the situation of Lorzelin and Red Cliff, so that the outsider, the demon hunter, does not know anything about the local area.

"It's a pleasure to work with you. If you can come back within a month, I hope you can come to me again to help."

"I hope I can resolve these matters as soon as possible."

Zelin put the things into his clothes pocket. Most of those foods can be put on dry bread for a long time, and there are a few pieces of dried meat. Demon hunters estimate that they are venison and rabbit meat hunted from the foothills by the hunters here. Anyway, it was better than the Demon Hunter expected.

"Oh, by the way, I can't take your money for nothing." Zelin suddenly thought of something. "You didn't say this morning, the tavern is to prevent the soldiers from having nowhere to vent their energy in their free time, so it was planned to build it. Yes. When I was bored, I figured out a set of good things to pass the time, a kind of card, I just have some here, you can try to let those soldiers understand, maybe they will like it."

"Really." Frieza curiously took the card set that Zelin handed over. There were two complete sets of cards in it. "Well, the recent supply of malt is not enough, I will try it. Good luck. "

"Thank you."

Zelin pushed open the back door of the tavern, and the cold wind blowing in his face made him subconsciously tighten the collar of the cloak. The prepared horses are at the back door, and the reins are tied to the stakes. Zelin could tell the horses are good or bad at a glance. In terms of different worlds, the horses in Skyrim have good endurance, but the speed is not good, and the horses of Saidas mainland are obviously better than any world that the demon hunter has ever seen. The mounts are stronger and taller.

Patting off the snow on the saddle, Zelin grabbed the reins, rolled over and rode on the horse's back. The horse jumped a few times dissatisfied with a stranger riding on its back, but soon quieted down. Zelin looked around, the white snow dyed the secluded town into a white, and the scattered snow covered the holy ash temple on the top of the mountain. There was no one on the street. Only two guards were still standing guard under the eaves in front of the secluded town. The guards approached. The brazier blown out by the cold wind brought a touch of warmth to myself.

Shaking off the reins, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, the demon hunter drove his horse out of the gate of the secluded town, and hurried down the mountain road that was not covered by snow, leaving only splashes of snow behind him.

The first thousand and sixty-two chapters: Refugees from Chiyan

Among the locations indicated on the map, the closest place to Huishuang Mountain is Hongya. Walking along the avenue, he only needed two days and two nights to reach the Chiyan Village under the Red Cliff Castle.

During the period, Zelin tried to get in touch with Francesca, but the communication channel of Telescope has not been opened yet.

The transportation on the mainland of Saidas is extremely convenient. The Frost Mountain lies between the Fereldon Kingdom and the Oles Empire, but whether it is going to Oles or Ferelden, there are well-maintained roads connected. This is very similar to the ancient road of the elves in the world of the demon hunter during the rule of the elves. As a main road with many towns, the branches are like branches of a tree trunk, connecting important plains fortresses or villages. Some places of these roads are very complete, and the grandeur of the year can still be seen, and some places are dilapidated, but they still do not affect the use.

However, the preservation of these roads has also benefited from the conditions of the Saidas countries. Basically, it is difficult to tell where the demarcation line is. Although the changes of people on the road can make travelers quickly tell where they have entered, people from all over the world pay different taxes and swear oaths to different kings and emperors. Loyalty, worship different gods. The closer you are to the capital, the greater the influence of the country and the king, and in some remote areas, the locals may declare that they do not have the leadership of the king at all.

The Huishuang Mountain obviously belongs to a remote area, and neither Fereldon nor Oles has actually ruled the mountain and the villages inside. But Red Cliff is different. Ten years ago, Ferrelldon was the uncle of King Alistair. Count Yimon was the ruler of Red Cliff. After the death of Count Yimon a few years ago, he was in The son Connor, who survived a magic disaster, inherited the position of the earl and became the new earl of Redcliffe. Therefore, the influence of the Fereldon Kingdom here is far from comparable to that of the Huishuangshan area.

On the note, it was specifically stated not to violate any laws of the Fereldon Kingdom in Red Cliff.

It is said that ten years ago, the hero Aidan Kurans of Ferrerden came here and rescued Chiyan Village from the undead riot caused by magic.

Red Cliff is located on the hills of the Hinterlands. Lelianna’s intelligence analysts believe that Hawke may be hiding here. However, it is estimated that the people of the Judgment Order are not very sure. They just think that this may be it. Maybe it is because of this that Cassandra decided to let Zelin come here alone to find a circle, and then go back before the peace meeting. They are also not sure that they are really determining Hawke's position.

"Hawk?"

Zelin bent over and asked the slightly yellowish and thin man in front of him, "Yes, Marian Hawke. Have you heard of this man near Red Cliff?"

The refugee man thought for a while and shook his head, "No, I don't remember hearing it. It hasn't been long since I came here."

"Excuse me." Zelin thanked him. After the refugees left, the demon hunter straightened up and looked at the refugee camp he was in. There were bustling makeshift tents everywhere. The refugees walked among the campfires, barns and colorful caravans.

These are refugees affected by the Holy Law War. They are planning to flee in the direction of Dunlim. The Holy Law War has not spread to the core area of ​​the Fereldon Kingdom, but recently, on the western road of the Hinterland, the Templars They are fighting with the wizard, and they have to stay here.

Warrick’s old slicker didn’t mention Hawke’s name when he was telling the story with Zelin. He deliberately led the demon hunter’s impression of Hawke to men. If it weren’t for Kulun to tell Zelin, Hawk’s full name was Mary. Ann Hawke, Zelin might really think he was going to find a strong man with a beard.

"Excuse me, have you ever seen or heard of a man named Hawke? Marian Hawke, a black-haired woman with a horizontal blood line on the bridge of her nose? A mage."

"Mage? No! I haven't heard or seen any mage!" Upon hearing the words of the mage, the refugees immediately became nervous. He hurriedly prepared to leave. Before leaving, he did not forget to add "I have never seen any Templars. Don't ask me."

Looking at the back of the refugees leaving, Zelin narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed.

He did meet many people who were willing to answer questions, but after learning that he was looking for a mage, these people kept silent. Anyone who is connected with a wizard may be regarded as an enemy by the Templars, and similarly, those connected with the Templars are likely to be attacked by radical wizards. These radical mages used magic to cause a lot of damage on Zelin Road.

"Don't embarrass them anymore." In the ragged refugee room, a man dressed in Androst church robe walked over. This dark-skinned, about forty-year-old godmother nodded slightly to the demon hunter. "They just want to avoid the wizard and the Templar. I am the godmother of Giselle. I saw you inquiring about a woman named Hawk. Is it Hawke, the defender of Kirkwall?"

"Yes, that's her." Zelin nodded to Giselle's godmother as well. He saw this person dressed in church costumes taking care of the sick and guiding the refugees in the refugee camp, so the demon hunter did not ask her for the time being. Because this also means that the godmother Giselle has only stayed near Red Cliff during this time, and Zelin hopes to hear some valuable news from the refugees from all over Ferrerdon.

Although this matter was not considered as the commission of the demon hunter, Cassandra did not expect the demon hunter to find Hawke. But work is work, and you should be serious about work.

"If the defenders come to Redcliffe, I should hear the news." Godmother Giselle said to Zelin. "Unless the defenders go directly to Redcliffe Castle, Earl Connor recently accepted some groups of wizards who are willing to armistice to stay in the castle. And the Red Rock Village under the castle. I think if the defenders come to the Hinterlands, they should also go to Redcliffe Castle. You should go there to find out the news."

"Thank you, godmother." Zelin thanked again.

"No thanks. Your Excellency, if you are going to Red Cliff, please provide some help for the refugees here. We need a potion made from Elf Root. A doctor in Red Cliff is willing to sell it to me at a low price. I can't leave now, please Bring me some and tell her that I let you go and she knows me."

"No problem, it's easy." Zelin nodded.

But just as he was about to leave, there was a commotion on the other side of the refugee camp. A harsh scream from the crowd echoed through the camp.

"Fafafafafafafa mage!"

The first thousand and sixty-three chapters of the holy law war

Several people wearing grey robes and holding staffs. They walked to the crossroads where the refugees were, and the leader began to give orders to other mages, as if the dozens of refugees in front of them did not exist.

"You can't come here, mages, this is not your battlefield or position. There are no Templars here, only a group of fleeing civilians." Godmother Giselle walked over to stop the mages, and some refugees had begun to quietly pack their things. , Ready to leave as soon as possible. However, some refugees who are sick and need the care of their godmother, or who have injured legs and feet that are inconvenient to walk, can only stay where they are, watching the godmother go to negotiate with these mages.

"The people of the church will never want to order us again." The leading mage angrily pushed away the godmother. "In the past, you locked us in the ring of law and organized the Templars to monitor and kill us. We won't listen to any of your words! Occupy this crossroads." The mage shouted to other colleagues, "Do a good job of defense and don't let any Templars pass through!"

The godmother sighed and rubbed her forehead helplessly. The Androste Church has been responsible for helping the poor and refugees, burying the dead, and sheltering orphans, but it seems that even if the Pope convenes a peace conference in the Holy Ash Temple, there are still a certain number of people on both sides who are unwilling to lay down their weapons and even do evil to church members. Yanxiang.
