The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Where do they come from?"

"Let those mages stop! What are they doing?!"

"Hi! You! Would you like to serve Lord Collier?" a man with a crown shouted to the demon hunter at the door of the ice melting furnace in front of the lord's longhouse. The long house is opposite the hotel, and five guards guard the entrance. "You can help my townsfolk, very good. If you are willing to do things for the lord, I will give you the corresponding glory."

"Tell me where to go? What to do? What is the reward?" Zelin stared at the creatures floating in the air. "I am not a mage, and I don't know how to deal with these creatures."

Although the demon hunter can release the seal, he doesn't know anything about the magic of this world.

"Then go find the mages, and tell them not to continue hiding in the tower, and come out to solve the trouble!" Collier held a two-handed warhammer, unlike the lords in other places, he didn't have many soldiers, and there was only one magic around him. A consultant, even a commander who can help him command the soldiers. "My soldiers are not manpowered enough, go to the mage, hurry up. When the matter is over, you are eligible to be a baron here."

Lord Collier is right. Even if one or two magical creatures can be killed, such creatures will be drilled everywhere on the ground, in the sky, in the cracks of houses, under the stones, as if the entire winter castle has become a nest of such creatures. , They are everywhere. If you don't stop it, it won't take long for magical creatures to cover the entire town, and maybe they will flood into houses and hotels. Ordinary people taking refuge in it can't fight them with bare hands. Although the baron is not attractive to Zelin, it is difficult for the demon hunter to stay alone in the winter fort, which is full of magical creatures.

"Go straight along this road, and at the end is the entrance to the college."

Following the path pointed out by Lord Collier, Zelin soon saw the entrance of the academy. A very narrow passage, visual inspection can only allow a single person to pass. A stone arch separates the college from the town. Below is the Winter Fortress, and the college is built on the edge of the cliff above. Looking up from below, the entire Magic Academy is shrouded in a layer of weird light blue light, and the surrounding wind and snow are caught by the tide of magic, like a blizzard surrounding the academy.

The three springs glowing with magic light are like road signs, instructing passers-by to go to the Magic Academy through the steep mountain road. The biting cold wind hit the demon hunter's shoulder, and the emblem on his chest hunted in the hurricane.

The mountain road outside the college has been around for many years, and there are many gaps in some positions of the stone guardrails. Through the gaps, you can directly see the cliffs below and the ghost sea slapped against the reefs. Several people dressed like wizards are staying on the round platform at the entrance. One of the female wizards is holding her abdomen in pain, and the other woman is squatting beside her. The light of restoring magic keeps flashing, but look. It has little effect.

"Colette, that's enough..."

"Hold on, Mirabelle, no problem, you can get better, you are a high-level wizard... Then we will go to deal with Ancano. Damn, the potion is in my room..." Colette raised his head and looked towards The older mage "Toldif, can't you deal with this enchantment? At least let us in. Farauda?"

A high elf-like female mage was raising her hands, and lightning flew out from her fingers one after another, bombarding the translucent barrier. But just like splashing water on a rock, the barrier remained unmoved under the attack of lightning.

"This power is too strong, I can't help it... Hi! Who are you? It's dangerous here, hurry up and leave!"

Farauda noticed the demon hunter coming from the mountain road.

"Oh my god, as long as there is no one at the door, there will be curious people running up. After the Ancano is solved, I must close the mountain road to death."

"I have brought news from Lord Collier of Winterhold." Zelin scanned several wizards present. They seemed to have been betrayed. They were betrayed by a man named Ankano, or it could be an elf or something. "The Winter Castle was invaded by magical creatures and needs help."

No other explanation is needed, and there is no need to ask anything. Although Zelin wants to ask a lot of questions, it is not now. No one has time to waste.

"Waiting for us to solve here..."

"No, Farauda." Gasping Mirabelle waved to the elf to stop. "Farauda, ​​you and Toldiv, take the apprentices with you to solve the magical creatures that invaded the city of Winterhold. There are Phoenix, Delavis, Anel... I'm fine, Colette can take care of me. We can't fight this force alone, Virginia."

The high-level wizard said to a person next to him who was also dressed as a wizard, "Go to Labrinxian and get that wand... We are all up to you."

"And you, soldier, if you can rush up from the city... Very good, a good wizard will also need a sword that can provide cover for the back. If you are willing to help, then protect her to the ruins. When this matter is over, the Magic Academy welcomes you at any time."

Chapter 264 Labrinthian

"Zag knows that you are going to a dangerous place. Here are a few flame cloak magic scrolls, Zag will give you."

Before leaving the Winterhold, Zelin saw several wizards and their apprentices who were dispelling magical creatures in the city. One of the apprentices, a tiger who called himself Zag, gave ten scrolls to the demon hunter.

"How much should I pay for this?" Zelin looked at the magic scroll in his hand. Although he didn't know what spell the flame cloak was, judging from the name and the more complicated patterns on it, it was definitely not a simple magic. It's not uncommon to sell your products before leaving, but Zelin believes that good things should be worth the money.

"Zag doesn't need money. Zag needs the results of the experiment." The tiger shook his head. "When you come back, remember to tell Zag the effect of the magic scroll."

All in all, this is a windfall. Ten reels can sell hundreds of Septins on the market. A person unconditionally gave away materials worth hundreds of coins. Zelin didn't know how to evaluate this behavior. However, after seeing a dark elf mage apprentice accidentally turning a guard into a cow, he suddenly experimented with opponents. Pin Magic Scroll has a bad feeling.

"We are going to Labrinxian, in the mountains south of Mosal."

Virginia, this apprentice mage who came to the Magic Academy to study specially found a horse and a carriage from the stables outside Winterhold. This allows them to rush to Mosar City in one day, and then after Mosar supplies some food, they can go to the mountains to find the remains of Labrinxian.

With the help of the academy mage, it is only a matter of time before Winterhold cleans up the remaining magical creatures. Virginia is not good at riding horses. Since the mage union fell apart, many young people who want to learn the mystery of magic will come to the Magic Academy in Skyrim to study. Virginia is such a Cyrodir. The harsh weather in the fort was a big challenge for her, so much so that she would rather stay in the academy tower all day and study magic books than step out of the academy.

"Let me look at the map... According to the map, we should... should follow this road..."

"This road leads to the sea of ​​ghosts, give me the map, you took it down."

Winterhold College has a lot of books, and the local map of Skyrim Province is very detailed. There are many roads, roadside ruins, ancient Nord ruins, possible threats on the road, and the safety assessment of the area. It is not so much a map as a field guide to Zhang Tianji. But even the best weapon is meaningless in the hands of a layman, just like this map.

Labrinsian was once an ancient city. When the Nords still believed in dragons, Labrinsian was a huge city. But no matter how glorious a city is, one day it will be overwhelmed by history. Most of the current Labrinxian has been buried in the mountains, and the remaining remains sometimes become the resting place for the caravans, and then the ruins here will be taken out by the caravans, but few people dare to do so. No one has been alive to describe what Labrinxian looks like in the ancient exploration of places.

He drove the carriage to the west from Winterhold and returned to Morningstar. Along the way, Zelin could hear some residents and guards of Morningstar talking about vampires. People were saying that strange things were hidden in the shadow of the night. Coupled with the nightmare that has been shrouded in everyone's hearts, the residents seem to be nervous. There were suspicious gazes everywhere, and no one knew what a vampire looked like. Virginia, dressed as a mage, was even asked to take off his hood and open his mouth to prove that he did not have fangs and scarlet eyes.

Fortunately, they don't need to stop in the dangerous Morningstar City.

"Most of the most common vampires in Skyrim are derived from a vampire fever disease, which can be spread through blood contact." Virginia sat behind the carriage and began to talk to herself about her expertise. "This The incubation period of this disease is generally three days to one week. The initial symptoms are general weakness in the sun, which then evolves into severe thirst..."

"It sounds like you have a lot of research on vampires."

"Professor Colette has a lot of unique research in curing diseases. She taught me a lot." She closed the magic book in her hand. "If I were a soldier, I would not question a person who is suspected of being a vampire. . This will kill everyone around."

"So you are a restoration magician?"

"Uh..."

"It doesn't matter, even if it is a restoration magician, it will have a great effect. Skyrim needs more doctors."

"This...I, I can't say that I am a restoration magician..."

"Oh? What spell do you know?"

"I don't know how many spells I know, but I can definitely count with my fingers how many spells I don't know..."

The carriage moved fast on the gravel road, and the area near Mosal City tended to be swampy, where the hillside became smoother, and they couldn't let the horse run to death in the middle. Virginia gave a brief account of the troubles encountered by Winterhold Magic Academy to the Demon Hunter.

The mages unearthed a magic orb called the Eye of Magnus in the ruins of Sattar. As a result, the magic orb was stolen and used by Ancano, the high elf magic consultant in the academy. Kano was killed by an explosion caused by the Eye of Magnus by Ancano, and the high-level wizard Mirabelle was also injured in the explosion. If you want to dispel the magic of the Eye of Magnus, you must find the Staff of Magnus, which is the purpose of the female apprentice's trip.

I have to say that not only are female apprentices not good at looking at maps, they are also not good at hiding things in the story. Zelin could clearly notice that there were some places in Virginia's description that she deliberately concealed something. But the demon hunter did not go to the bottom of the question. Everyone has their own secrets. He helped the academy. If he could get some alchemy material seeds or magic scrolls and enchanting props in the academy's remuneration, then everything was worth it.

The female apprentice said that in the Magic Academy there are places where plant alchemy materials are cultivated, and naturally there are herbal seeds for alchemy materials. Zelin didn't know how to obtain expensive alchemy materials like the salt of nothing in his own world, but some plants, such as the death bell, he could return with some seeds, and then he opened up a piece of planting in Mahakam's castle. In the area, there are also creatures such as snow squirrels that are convenient for breeding. Their fur is a good material for life medicine.

"You go with me, get the staff, no matter which professor becomes the new archmage, he will definitely agree to send you some alchemy materials."

"It may also be that you become the new archmage."

"If you say this, do you feel a certain kind of appointment?"

"It's okay, I just talk about it casually."

"Yes, I'm just an apprentice, how can I become an archmage?"

With all kinds of thoughts and speculations about the ruins, they spent three days until noon on the fourth day when Labrinxian, the ruins of the mountain stream at the junction of Morningstar and Mosal, appeared in front of them.

Chapter 265 Three-Star Scroll

"It's here...if the map is correct."

"Be careful, I feel something is wrong here."
