The Journey of the Demon Hunter

The civil war in Skyrim not only tore the people apart, but also split the originally united lords of Skyrim into two camps. At least during the reign of King Toig, the Supreme King of Skyrim, they were clearly united. But the emergence of Ulfric has intensified all contradictions. Although there are only three cities supporting Ulfric, no one knows whether more disappointed Skylords will choose to join if the empire fails to quell the rebellion. Ulfric's camp.

After all, the empire banned the belief in Talos in Skyrim. Although Balgruuf of Snowman City did not announce to join any party, he still acquiesced in Talos's sacrifice to promote faith in the city, and other territories that joined the empire camp, they probably wouldn't have much affection for the empire in their hearts. Therefore, in order to win over these nobles of Skyrim, the emperor decided to let his sister marry the local nobles to consolidate the power of the empire in Skyrim Province.

"So, you wish I could guard against anyone the rebels might send to obstruct the wedding?"

"It's not just the rebels. It's not just the Nords in Skyrim who conspired against the Emperor and his relatives."

"The emperor?"

"Yes, Your Majesty will come to Skyrim. Of course, I can't tell you the exact time."

"I understand."

It suddenly became difficult to describe. The other party offered a good price, anyway, to protect a person from being assassinated. Zelin did this more than once, and the objects of protection had their own merits, whether it was status, status or wealth. It's just a wedding, and the working time will not exceed one day. Zelin is very satisfied with the commission that is easy and will not be extravagant.

The royal guard of the sharp-eyed eagle station is located in Longqiao, if the demon hunter encounters trouble, you can go to the local commander Marlow. However, this also allowed Zelin to guess from the side the identity of the captain in front of him---he was a royal guard with a sharp eyed eagle.

"Can I know the location of the wedding? I want to check it out in advance."

"No problem, the wedding will be held in a corner of the city. Originally this should be in the temple of Mara, but the temple of Mara in Skyrim is in Rift Valley City, but Rift Valley City is under the control of the Stormcloak, so it can only be reluctantly. Used this venue."

"Wait, you said the temple of Mara..."

"Yes, it represents the Holy Spirit of love, marriage, and love. The Temple of Mara is a good place for weddings. What a pity."

Chapter 273 Recommendations

It can only be said that Victoria is worthy of the emperor's sister, and her wedding venue is near the Imperial Army Castle in Solitary City. There is far away from the current lord of Solitary City, Alicia’s Blue Palace, probably because the young Alicia has just become a widow, and her husband is the dead Skyline Supreme King Toig. So apart from the blue palace, the Imperial Legion’s castle courtyard became the best place.

It is safe and it will not make the emperor's sister to marry it not solemn enough, otherwise this wedding will not be able to attract the nobles of Skyrim, and I am afraid it will be regarded as an insult to the local aristocrats of Skyrim.

Perfect place.

The workers are busy decorating the venue, garlands, red cloth carpets, silver candlesticks, ivory decorations, seating and Mara's altar. A woman in a yellow sacrificial robe was talking to several workers. The demon hunter is also checking the safety of the venue nearby, picking any location that can be assassinated, and he must prepare for the worst.

"I think you should deal with this stone sculpture."

Standing on the stone wall surrounding the courtyard, Zelin said to the two guards. This is a sculpture in the ancient Nordic style, which is hung on the city wall as an ornament.

The two guards looked at each other for unknown reasons.

"Sorry sir, is there a problem with this stone sculpture?" The man dressed in armor similar to the uniform of the Imperial Army pushed the guard away and walked over. Although his clothes are not very different from the uniforms of ordinary soldiers, the demon hunter knows who this man is-- --Eye Eagle Special Envoy. On behalf of the emperor’s guards, he came to attend Miss Victoria’s wedding and provided suggestions on the security of the wedding.

In fact, it was the sharp-eyed eagle who really hired Zelin. Therefore, the unnamed man in front of him can be regarded as the employer of the demon hunter.

"Most of the people attending the banquet were Nords, and Ms. Victoria deliberately hoped to keep the ancient Nordic decorations. So is there any problem with this statue?"

The demon hunter didn't say much, he thought it would be easier for people to realize the seriousness with actual actions to show the consequences. Ze Lin poked his head out from the edge of the stone wall. Below was a balcony. Two maids were moving a pot of flowers to it. A red carpet has been laid on the balcony, and Ms. Victoria and her newlyweds will give speeches to visitors on this balcony.

"You two, get out of the way."

The two maids raised their heads and looked at the demon hunter for unknown reasons. They didn't know what happened, but the obedience developed as servants made them retreat to the room behind the balcony.

"Now, if it were the beginning of the wedding, the VIP guests of the Nord would have been in place." Zelin paced behind the stone carving. "The beloved lady Victoria and her respectable husband came to the balcony and prepared to say to the guests. Thank you." His hand was placed behind the stone sculpture. "But at this moment, an assassin sneaked into this place. Don't rush to refute. I noticed that there are no guards patrolling this section of the stone wall in the past two days."

The envoy nodded. "Yes, there is a mountain on the side. If the assassin wants to sneak in, he must jump off the mountain and he will be thrown to death. But you are right. We are adding some patrol soldiers, right on the wall. On."

"Please don't worry, Mr. Envoy, I'll tell your soldiers what they need to be wary of." Zelin stretched out a finger. "I heard that Ms. Victoria would welcome the citizens of the city to bless her and join her. The assassin’s wedding, so the assassin is likely to pretend to be a resident of Solitary City, and then come here early.” He once again confirmed that there is no one below. ..."

Zelin just pushed with his finger, but the joint between the stone sculpture and the city wall immediately rang out with a cracking sound.

"At that time, we can only drag out the body of Ms. Victoria, or her husband's, under the falling stone sculpture."

"...This stone sculpture clearly looks very strong!" The special envoy of Sharp Eye Eagle shouted out in surprise, "Why no one found these!" He asked the two guards behind him, "Hurry up, clean up this **** stone sculpture. , Move it away and don't hit the balcony below. Hurry up."

The demon hunter has been a guard many times in his life, and he has also seen countless assassinations, whether he was there or he heard about it afterwards. Daggers, dark arrows, and poisoned alcohol are just the most basic and most easily defensible assassination methods. The methods of experienced assassins are often overwhelming. The bribed servant puts a poisonous snake in the target bedroom, pushes the stone from the wall or the height of the house while the assassin is passing by, or saws a part of the fence that the target often relies on, making it unable to bear the weight of an adult , So that when the target leans on the guardrail, it will fall and die.

There are countless.

"Look at here. I have observed your patrol position in the past two days. This is the blind spot of your guards patrolling. I stood here for an hour yesterday afternoon. I didn't see any guards passing by, and no one even looked at. In this area, this place, if an assassin sneaks into the high wall, he only needs a good archery hand to assassinate every guest present with a bow and arrow."

On the second day Zelin made his opinion, a few soldiers from the Imperial Army filled the gaps in the guards. This made him very satisfied. Although the special envoy of the sharp-eyed eagle has the arrogance and indifference of the noble, he will also listen to the advice that is useful to the demon hunter, and then adopt it.

The envoy will understand that hiring an expert demon hunter is worthwhile.

The demon hunter considered every possibility, based on his previous knowledge and experience of assassinations. Blindly strengthening the number of guards is meaningless, and the purpose of this marriage is to win over the nobles of Skyrim. Naturally, the number of guards cannot be too many, otherwise it will make the nobles present suspicious and may make them feel dissatisfied. So Zelin didn't like to force the guards to increase their patrol time when there was a shortage of manpower. That will only make the guard mentally exhausted. He prefers to think of himself as an assassin. If he is an assassin, how should he use experience and means to assassinate.

"No, I think if the opponent is a well-trained assassin, he would not use the stupid method of poisoning. The goddess Gina Rais is in the city, and the success rate of poisoning is very low, and it will accidentally hurt Nord. Guest. If it were the assassin of the Stormcloak, he wouldn't have done such a stupid thing."

Zelin said to several servants who had come to ask for precautions.

"Be sure to check the bride’s clothes. At the wedding, Ms. Victoria should be the person in the best mood and the most relaxed spirit. The bride’s dress is very suitable for hiding a small amount of bottle, but it is very poisonous or affects people. Spiritual alchemy potion."

"Shall we check before putting on a dress for Ms. Victoria?"

"Not only at that time, when the lady leaves the courtyard and enters the inner road of the city wall to the balcony, you must be aware that she will leave everyone's sight at this time." Zelin read the wedding preparation form, including the event program "Sit Come down and listen to me. I will tell you all the possible time periods for assassination and poisoning. You are servants and you can be with Ms. Victoria at any time, so you must pay special attention."

Preparations work day after day, and with the warnings and suggestions of the demon hunters, although the guards at the wedding have not increased much on the surface, they have become more and more professional and safe.

In the end, amidst busy preparations, Ms. Victoria Vicky ushered in her long-awaited wedding.

Chapter 274 The Mythical Banquet

"Welcome to my wedding reception, welcome, welcome."

The protagonist of the wedding banquet, the emperor’s younger sister Victoria Weiqi, wore a pure white silk dress with a bright red robe. She was very happy, and the light makeup on her face could not hide her joy. This is a wedding that either party will be satisfied with. It is not only a political factor of the empire, but Victoria and her husband are a loving couple. This wedding looks so harmonious in all aspects.

This wedding is well known in Solitude. Many residents, members of the East Empire Company who are loyal to the empire, or Nords who support Queen Alicia, and local citizens and neighbors who live with Ms. Victoria have come here for the purpose. Ms. Victoria sent blessings and sat nearby to enjoy food and wine. Even professors from the Bard Academy also came to the wedding and played music as the hired, making the banquet more fun.

"Are you here to bless me too?"

The bride was sitting on the main stone chair with a smile on her face, her groom next to her, and the two of them accepted the guests' wishes. A Petite Brighton girl in light clothes bowed deeply to Victoria, with a very small voice, as if she didn't speak much, but she had a calm expression and bowed to Victoria several times. In response, the bride giggled. Those who come to participate in the blessing have everything, and it is no surprise that young people who are not good at talking.

"Oh~ don't be shy, my holiday is your holiday, please. Eat, drink, and be happy! All here are friends."

The Brighton people retreated to the corner of the courtyard, and an Argonian who came early was holding Aalto wine and handing her a glass.

"The information is wrong, there is no stone carving on the balcony."

"The plan remains the same."

"I will cover you when you retreat."

"Yeah."

The wedding banquet has not yet begun, and the guests are constantly entering the castle courtyard. The voice of conversation and celebration overwhelmed the lute's sonata, Victoria hummed happily, and there was a rectangular dining table in the courtyard. It was very large and could seat more than forty burly men. Zelin was sitting next to him, and many people had begun to get into the subject, eating, drinking, and chatting. On the right hand of the demon hunter sat Baron Erikul, a long and circling captain of the Imperial Soldier, and guests from the city of Markas, a man of the Silver-blooded family and his guard , There is a twelve-year-old kid with swollen cheeks. Opposite is the Baroness Brelin, this lady can always chat with some warriors holding weapons.

"Borgael Bearclaw, it's a great honor for me to be here."
