The Journey of the Demon Hunter

Miss Vampire lifted up the door panel that fell to the side. After trying several times, she simply used ice cones as nails to temporarily nail the door panel to one door frame, and then turned the table over to block the gap on the other side that was exposed because the door panel was not large enough. . Jacqueline twitched, watching Serana forcibly block the door with something.

"Do you need me to introduce it specifically?" Zelin opened his hands. "This is the heir of the Varchiha family, Serrana."

"So now, vampire hunters are working for vampires?" Jacqueline frowned and looked at Serana standing aside. "I remember you are the Dawn Guardian. Don't you want to protect humans from vampires?"

"You may understand that I am helping a poor lady who broke her family because of a thief to recover the stolen goods."

"Don't say so much, how is Delvin?" The thief waved his hand and interrupted the topic. The bald man of the thieves' union lying on the ground was still in a coma.

"Don't worry, he just fell asleep temporarily." Yaxie Fayin can let him sleep for a while. Zelin doesn't understand the thieves' union. He is worried that some things will be spread in unexpected places. Regarding the matter of tracing the cultists, his biggest advantage now is that none of the cultists knew about the existence of Zelin.

"Okay, okay, you won. The guards hired by Miss Vampire caught the thief." Jacqueline spread her hands. "But you have to know that I am a thief. You have to respect my profession. You can't think you found me." , You can let me return all the money in the original amount. I am a thief, not a warehouse clerk. I can’t steal the money and put it in the warehouse box, waiting for it to be caught before changing it all back... You Do you understand what I mean?"

"You spent all your money, so it's impossible to pay back a penny?"

"It's impossible to pay back the money. It's impossible to pay back in this life." Jacqueline looked up. "Do you know? The body of the last person who stabbed me with a sword is still in the ruins of the dwarf. We should be like professionals," Sit down and discuss it. For example, when you catch a thief, you should call the guards over..."

"Then you can get away through bribery and connections, Jacqueline, you should also respect my profession. Now I am a debt collector, not a hired killer." Zelin folded his arms and looked at the thief in front of him. Then, he turned his head and asked the vampire behind, "Serana, what do you think?"

"I once assured the Dawn Guard that my mother, my mother, and the future Valchha vampires will not kidnap the inhabitants of Skyrim as rations to **** blood." Serana put on a serious expression. "But I think, Isla. Eun wouldn’t mind if I put a thief who stole my family property into the castle dungeon.” Miss Vampire looked at Jacqueline as if looking at food. “She smells good, I can take her back. , Drinking some human blood will help maintain our appearance and our strength. Or turn her into a vampire to expand the servants of the family. This will not violate the agreement between me and Islan."

"Good idea." Zelin agreed. "Since she doesn't have the money, she can use her to repay the debt. The Dawn Guards will not object."

As if to echo what Zelin said, Serana opened her mouth slightly, revealing the vampire's teeth, a look that she was about to bite on.

"A terrible idea!" Jacqueline stood up all of a sudden. "Don't come here, vampire! I can exchange other things with you. I can't pay back the money because the cultist attacked it and took it away. You said just now. Are you dealing with cultists? We have a common enemy, and we can cooperate."

Serana and Zelin looked at each other.

"Give us information about all the cultists you know, and help us find their stronghold in Skyrim as part of repaying the debt." Serana said, "I have some older things that need your help to resell them. You must give it to me. A reasonable price to make up for the vacancy."

After Miss Vampire finished speaking, the room became quiet a bit. Jacqueline looked left and right, especially Serrana, and after making sure that she would not pounce on her, she took a step back a little later.

"Then... happy cooperation?" Jacqueline pointed to the two people in front of her. "Hey, this is your real purpose, right? Don't think I didn't see it. You can knock on the door and come in, just like one Like a gentleman, instead of kicking the door like a robber or that horrendous killer."

"I said, I thought you were a cultist who attacked Xueman." Zelin sighed softly.

"Do you think I will believe it?"

"You can believe it or not."

"You are really unreasonable."

"To a thief? And, what were you planning to do just now?" The demon hunter asked curiously, "I saw you were preparing to retreat when we rushed in, what's behind?"

"Did you find it? Okay." Jacqueline turned around and pushed a little against the wall behind him. The wall then opened, and the snowy night cold wind blew in immediately.

"If it hadn't been for Delvin to faint and I was the only one, I would have escaped when you rushed in. I am the master of thieves, and no one can ever catch..." Jacqueline looked at Zelin's eyes, and then she I thought of the scene in Rift Valley City, when I was picking the lock because of the very light footsteps of the demon hunters, which led to the scene being discovered on the spot. She coughed twice to cover up the past, "After I go back, I will deduct Delvin's share this year!"

Chapter 855 Professional Ethics of Thieves

From Jacqueline, Zelin learned some valuable information.

First of all, the source of the cultists. One thing is certain, they certainly did not come to the sky by land. Skyrim Province is connected to Cyrodir and Hammerfall Province by land, Rift Valley City is close to the border of Cyrodir, and Hammerfall Province is near Reach. The headquarters of the Skyrim Thieves Guild is in the Rift Valley. These cultists cannot pass under their noses. As for Reach, Jacqueline believes that cultists cannot come from the land of the Red Guards.

In the land of the Red Guards, the Dragonborn did not have that much influence. The influence of the dragonborn mainly exists in Skyrim and Cyrodir. The former is due to the tradition of the Nords, and the latter is due to the dragonborn emperor of the past empire.

Jacqueline believed that the stronghold of these cultists should be near Xueman, in the white land. According to the information they received, the cultists mainly appeared near Snowman, and some people had seen them in the north of Rift Valley and near the Hogarth Peak. As for Hafingal and Sera in the northwestern part of Skyrim. Na said she had seen traces of cultists in the wild there. Due to the past weakness and the influence of traitors, the thieves’ guild, when Jacqueline took over the craft meeting, their forces in Skyrim were only left in a small area of ​​Rift Valley City. She has rebuilt the union's underground network as much as possible, but in some places, they still haven't established new strongholds, such as Windhelm.

"My instinct tells me that heretics have something to do with Windhelm." Jacqueline said, pointing to Windhelm on a map she took out of the Snowman stronghold.

"Why do you say this? Do you have any evidence?" This map of the thieves' union is a little different from the usual map. It mainly marked some places that thieves would use, such as safe houses and stolen goods trading locations. Zelin was surprised to find that there was also a mark on the Winterhold Academy. However, these signs will not write the exact names of people and places. Even if it is a partner, Jacqueline cannot directly tell Zelin about this kind of thing. This is tantamount to betraying the union.

Delvin woke up, he was very dissatisfied with being stunned. However, under Jacqueline's order, he still covered his head and went to the temple of Gina Laise to buy a small bottle of healing potion.

"I said, it's intuition." Jacqueline's fingers were drawing a circle on Windhelm. "We should start the investigation from the waterway. There are passenger ships leading to Morrowind Province in Solitary City, although they have not appeared much now. There is also Solitary City, where is the largest pier in the sky, the heretics may have come to the sky by boat, it is worth investigating there. Of course...It is not ruled out that the high elves are behind the ghosts, hey, there is nothing worth stealing there. ."

Since the death of the Supreme King Toig, the chaos in Skyrim seems to have never stopped.

"Do you have anything to do with the storm cloak and the Imperial Army?"

"I haven't said anything." Jacqueline waved his hand. "But... uh, who knows? Marvin Blackthorn in Rift Valley City has been asking us for trouble recently, because Lord Dragonborn has been to us. The Rat Road where the union is, and Ispen, that **** crazy old man, how did I know that he was a member of the Blade Club! By the way, Marvin Blackthorn became the new lord of Rift City with the support of the empire. Poor Lord Laila, she originally supported the Stormcloak, but Ulfric bought it for a good price."

"I don't want to worry about these political transactions."

"Neither do I." Jacqueline rubbed her forehead. "As long as they don't bother me, I just want to steal money quietly and give a loan."

It is indeed a good thing to be able to get the assistance of the Thieves Guild in the search for cultists. Although Zelin has a lot of knowledge about this land compared to the last time he came to Skyrim, some he still hasn't set foot, such as Reach. And Falkreath. Cultists can be temporarily ruled out in Falkreath. Fort Helgen is at the junction of Falkreath and Ximu Town. If there is a situation, the wizards of Fort Helgen would have noticed it. Not to mention that Gnaiya has never been to Falkreath. The lord there sent a letter to Dragonborn inviting her to become a baron, but Gnaiya politely declined.

"Now our targets are temporarily placed on the Hafingal collar and the eastern collar." Jacqueline's hand clicked on the map. "My people are going to conduct business in Rift Valley. By the way, we will investigate whether there is evil there. Traces of believers."

"I'll go to Solitary City." Zelin looked at the territory in the northwest corner of Skyrim Province on the map. "How can I contact you next?"

"Contact? Are you worried that I will run away halfway? Could it be that I will sell myself in the mines of Southam in order to hide my debts in the next life?" Jacqueline laughed twice, but saw Zelin and Serana a little bit After not feeling that there was anything funny, she coughed embarrassingly, "I will stay in Snowman City during this time, because some of the property and goods belonging to the union were not burned in the fire of the wind house, but it was destroyed by Yi Rui. Les, the black-skinned girl, has been deducted. I am now going to forge a document to prove that the goods are legally stocked... Damn! Can you help me? Help me find a way to get this goods out of the Longxiao Palace , Your steps are so light, and you know how to sneak into the track, you are a born thief."

"I don't like being treated as a thief." Zelin shook his head.

Serrana talked with the president of the thieves' union about the sale of antiques. After learning that there are still so many valuable antiques in Valchiha Castle, Jacqueline involuntarily showed a regretful expression, but then Serrana's slightly exposed fangs changed her expression back. Zelin could guess that Jacqueline must be sorry for not being able to take more things.

After deciding on the contact method and location with Jacqueline, Zelin and Serana left the Thieves Guild’s temporary stronghold in Xueman. Selana got a good return from Jacqueline. Compared to the price of antiques on the market, Selana promised that these antiques from the Second Age or even earlier will only be given to thieves. The union comes to sell.

Of course, it's impossible to return, Jacqueline said vowedly. What she stole by her ability, why should she return it back.

But when they returned to the mare banner, they found something was wrong with their room on the second floor. Francesca, who should have been asleep long ago, was standing in the corridor, looking like she was waiting for someone. When he saw Zelin and Serana coming back together, the elf looked at them with scrutiny for a long time before beginning to explain to Zelin what had happened.

"I caught a very interesting person... There is something very interesting in his mind. I used mind reading to steal some of it. You should take a look."

Chapter 856 I have a bold idea

"You go out to admire the moon together? Don't you want to call me?"

This is a relatively remote place on the second floor of the pub, in the deepest part of the corridor. The nearby wooden wall panels were painted with a layer of white paste. The candles on both sides have long been extinguished, only the candlelight in the lobby of the tavern is reflected through the steps, making the corridor dark.

"Serana and I happened to meet a thief we knew in the past, and we chatted with that person. By the way, we learned about the information of the target to be investigated." The demon hunter turned his head and looked at their room. The door was closed, but Francesca was standing outside. There are obvious knock marks on the door panel of the house. The person who knocked must have just eaten the greasy meat, and kept beating on the door, leaving a bunch of handprints. Looking at this, Zelin almost had some guesses in his heart. If it was Isolda, she definitely didn't need to knock on the door like this.

"I guess someone is causing trouble? A drunk tenant? Or a troubled drunkard?"

"Neither." Francesca shook her head, and she raised her hand, magic gleam wrapped around her arm like a snake, and then the closed door was opened. Zelin saw a gorgeously dressed man lying in the house. He was obviously in a coma. Some little magic can easily do this. "This man hopes that we can give him this house. He looks very urgent. , I told him that there were other houses in the hotel next door, but he insisted on this one. I felt very strange, so when I was looking at him, I took the opportunity to try to read his mind, and then I found some Very interesting thing."

In this world, Zelin had not seen magic such as mind reading or mind reading. He has only seen magic that soothes the spirit or makes the target fall into madness, but he has no more sophisticated spiritual spells. Just to appease the spirit, Yaxie Fayin can do the same.

"He is planning a murder, and the murderer will meet him here." The elf slowly said, "He thought that the murder was successful, but when he was about to leave, he learned that he was going to be assassinated. His target is still alive and the killer missed. So he had to return and prepare to find a new killer to perform the task."

"It's a convenient magic." Serrana praised. "We can save the time of interrogation and distinguishing the true and false confession."

"In other words, the room we rented is the place where the killer is going to connect?" Zelin raised his eyebrows. "Who is he going to kill?"

"I found a name. Titus Maid, do you know who he is?" the elf asked Zelin and Serana. Not long after she arrived in this world, she probably just learned the names of the nine territories, the two leaders who are commanding the Civil War in Skyrim, and a small part of history and customs.
