The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"This is really..." After hearing the name of the person to be assassinated, Selana paused, as if thinking about what words to use to describe "I don't know how to say it, I feel like I want to assassinate the emperor." There may not be as many people as you can meet in any city."

"The emperor?" Francesca has seen a lot of things, conspiracy, assassination, poisoned wine at the banquet, the dagger hidden under the skirt at the party, she also encountered an assassination not long ago, which is for her She couldn't say how surprised she was. She just froze for a moment. After making sure that she didn't have any problems in understanding Selana's words, she immediately began to lower her head, thinking about what value this could bring to them.

"Wait, Enid, what is the name of the group of assassins? The Dark Brotherhood?" Zelin suddenly thought of what he had done in Solitary City. In the past, a member of the Dark Brotherhood tried to assassinate the emperor’s sister. Destroy the marriage between the empire and the local nobles of Skyrim. However, at that time, the sharp-eyed eagle who was responsible for defending the wedding scene happened to hire Zelin to be the guard. Finally, near the wedding scene, Zelin repelled an assassin and killed a murderer who was hidden among the wedding servants.

"Don't tell me, you still have a relationship with the killer organization here?" Francesca raised an eyebrow. "What did you do in the six months since you came to Skyrim?"

"It's not something to care about, because I foiled their assassination of the emperor's sister." Zelin opened his hands. "To be honest, I thought they should have been wiped out by the emperor's guards."

"When I was traveling in Solitary City, I heard of your deeds." Serrana said suddenly from the side. "And you are still in Solitary City assisting the local court Baroness Brelin in establishing a very interesting project in Solitary City. ...Chess and card activities? It is very popular in Solitary City. The Bard Academy is preparing to absorb it as one of the academy's projects. Oh, yes, I am also learning that kind of gameplay, and if we have the opportunity, we can try it together."

"Huh~ This doesn't surprise me at all." Francesca rolled her eyes, and she waved her hand. "Even if it's wiped out, I won't be surprised by one or two slippery fish. We want to help. The emperor here solves the problem once and for all? Or he can give the local guard commander a favor." She looked at the man who was unconscious on the ground. Action has become easier."

Enid's opinion is that they can pass the gift through an agent, such as the Thieves Guild, or Winterhold College. They don't need to face the emperor directly, and exposing themselves too much is not a good choice.

"Maybe we can also find news related to cultists from here?" Zelin said suddenly, "Enid, I suggest you better not participate in the troubles of this world. I'm really worried, will you? Confuse the difference between the two worlds."

She is an archmage and a politician. She has many aspects that are more proficient than Zelin, whether it is negotiation or negotiation, but in the same way, as a demon hunter who often deals with ordinary people, Zelin also has an understanding of elves. Arrived.

She will focus on the local noble lords, and Zelin is more optimistic about trade union mercenaries and independent organizations.

Besides, Zelin didn't think that the idea of ​​the elves would succeed, especially because of the dragonborn.

"It's just an opinion. I understand, but what I need is not a few hundred gold coins, not one or two fighters, nor an employment commission. What I need is a cooperation agreement with Towson." The elf looked at Zelin." So, do you have a more feasible and safer opinion?"

"Dawn Guard." Zelin tapped his finger on the table. For the people who fought with him, the demon hunters thought they understood that "They are an independent military organization that has only been established for a year, and they need partners. , And they belong to neutrals with a certain military power in Skyrim. Cooperating with them will not cause us any trouble. Serana and I have a good relationship with them. You can try first and reach some A mutually beneficial contract between the two parties. And I do not recommend that you directly contact the empire, but first try to contact the lords of the nine territories. They have a lot of autonomy."

The elf was silent for a while. After thinking for a while, she nodded.

"I will try it step by step? Well, I understand what you mean, thank you for your concern. But what about the killer? What should I do?"

"I have a bold idea."

"Oh? Let me see?"

Elf's mind-reading skills have certain limitations. In addition to having to look at the target, most of what she reads is what the target is thinking. She is not a psionicist, and can enter the depths of a person's spirit to read the mind. Chaos energy going too deep into the brain will completely destroy a person's consciousness instead of reading out what is needed.

But there are some things she can do, such as making people forget some things. She is a great mage after all, even if she is not specializing in spiritual aspects, she can do these things.

Zelin didn't need to say anything, the elf quickly read what he meant.

"Well... you can always surprise me, Zelin. I often forget that you are still a demon hunter." Francesca smiled slightly. Selana, who was on the side, looked confused.

"What the **** is going on?" Miss Vampire asked.

"Wait until tomorrow, I will explain to you slowly, Serana."

Chapter 857: Trap

By the time Almond woke up, it was already close to the next morning.

He was holding his forehead, his head groggy, as if he had drunk too much last night, and he fell on the floor before he could climb to the bed, and slept all night on the floor in the cold winter.

Last night?

Almond felt that his head was about to split apart with pain. He supported the wooden chair beside him and slowly climbed up from the floor, groping around the table indiscriminately, trying to find a glass of water to drink. But there were no cups on the table, and instead he knocked a few empty plates to the ground. This reminded him that he was not in Cyrodir, but in the northern sky. He has not yet returned home.

What happened last night?

Almond rubbed his forehead and sat down on a nearby chair. With his elbows on his knees, his hands covering his head, he was reminiscing about what happened last night. He remembered that he suddenly got the news, so he hurriedly returned to Snowman City, and then had a fight with the proprietress Isodar because of the room problem. As a result, he encountered a guard who came in to check the situation, so he had to compromise, at least not to reveal his identity.

Then...

There was a muffled noise in Almond's throat, and his head hurt more and more. It must be the influence of alcohol. The meads brewed by Nords are no different from strong spirits to others. In Cyrodil, Nords meads are also listed as a drink that can cause harm to the body when consumed too much. . He shouldn't drink so much honey wine, this is something that should be used to celebrate. In order to ensure the success of the assassination, they deliberately tried to contact the dark brotherhood that had long since disappeared.

As a result, the Dark Brotherhood failed.

This legendary assassination organization sometimes misses. And the latest news is that the emperor’s guards found the sanctuary of the Dark Brotherhood in Skyrim, destroyed and killed all the killers inside.

Almond didn’t worry about being found by the sharp-eyed eagle. He contacted the Dark Brotherhood’s killer through dark rituals. The first time he met the killer, it took a long time to make sure. A member of the Dark Brotherhood, not a wandering orphan who accidentally hit and ran into the catacombs.

He just wants to curse those unreliable killers fiercely! He spent so much money and ran to the icy and snowy sky, but only in exchange for this result. He found a kettle nearby and gave himself a glass of water. The staying power of the honey wine made him seem to have lost the memory of last night, he only remembered that he came back, and then fainted. It seems that someone is arguing with himself, but this is not important, and it is not important compared to the task he is going to perform.

Afterwards, he heard the door behind him being pushed open. He didn't ask or knock on the door, but was pushed open directly.

"Who let you in!?"

He angrily smashed the glass full of water in his hand. With a snap of the cup, it hit the person standing at the door, and the water inside splashed on that person. Almond was about to open his mouth to reprimand and let the maid and servants of this hotel know what to do. If he talks with other hired killers in the future, these servants suddenly push the door in. He doesn't know what to do then. In order to end without being exposed. There may be sharp-eyed eagles everywhere in the sky.

But after seeing the person who walked in, Almond's eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost. He took a step back subconsciously, but he couldn't stand still, and he got onto the bed all at once.

"You, aren't you all dead?!"

The assassin of the Dark Brotherhood stood at the door of the house, and the water spilled all over was dripping down the corners of the tights. She was silent, and the cup that hit her rolled down on the side of the cloth boots.

"No." Her words were still so concise. Almond had tried to dictate that the Dark Brotherhood had long since disappeared in Cyrodir and other places, or had long since disappeared. He had wanted to learn about the only remaining Brotherhood organization. But in the end he gave up. It was not that his idiom skills were too backward, but the goal of the idiom could not speak at all. "Where is the emperor?"

The killer's voice is very hoarse, and it is often difficult to distinguish between men and women, but this neutral voice can be a good cover for identity. But because of this, Almond couldn't tell from his tone of voice whether the killer was angry or not caring about his being smashed by the glass full of water.

"Can you continue to assassinate the emperor?" Almond questioned.

"The contract is not over." The killer didn't explain too much. "Where is the emperor?"

"He is just north of Solitary City, near the coast. Titus Maid is on his warship." Almond told the killer what he had learned from the inside. He was relieved, at least he didn't have to look for it by himself. New assassins come to complete the mission. You know, it's not just anyone who dares to take on the task of assassinating the emperor, even if there are more Septin gold coins.

He also specifically inquired that the mercenary hired by the sharp-eyed eagle in the past did not choose to join the imperial legion, nor did he accept the enlistment of the sharp-eyed eagle, but had left the sky. It is reported that the man is related to the Dragonborn, and Almond hopes that the mercenary will join the Imperial Legion. The families of the entire empire are looking for the dragonborn, a female dragonborn, a woman who can bring the dragonborn blood to her own family without worrying about the family being taken away by her. This is an important clue.

"The sharp-eyed eagle commander Marlowe guards the warship. Wait until you succeed in the assassination before you come to me, and I will hand over the remaining balance to you."

The killer nodded.

"I will come again after I finish the task."

"But I don't think so."

The moment the third sound appeared, the killer threw the dagger in the direction of the sound. But the light of the magic that had been prepared flashed past, and a cloud of white smoke exploded at the location of the killer, followed by a sharp metal crash. The dagger hit the blade of the sword and fell to the floor with a bang. Almond was about to take advantage of the smoke to rush out, but within two steps of running away, he was kicked and fell to the side of the bed in the guest room.

When the smoke cleared, no one was seen at the location of the killer. A strange man appeared from the smoke. He bent down and picked up a small wooden sculpture the size of a thumb from the ground. Then he raised his head and looked at Almond who was kicked back into his room.

"More than half a year ago, I was thinking about who would be so interested in assassinating the emperor's relatives." Ze Lin lowered his eyes and looked at the wooden sculpture in his hand. Francesca's proficient transformation technique can easily catch them to find someone "You don't know me, don't mind, I know you. Mr. Almond."

Chapter 858: Unexpected Harvest

"Damn it! Who are you!"

Almond reached into his clothes and just wanted to take out the magic scroll hidden in the clothes. But suddenly, he was stunned, and Yaxie Fayin caused him to fall into a vertigo. When he recovered, the scroll of ice giant summoning to protect himself had fallen into the hands of the man in front of him.

At this time, Almond noticed that the man had a pair of slender vertical pupils. He was like a Cyrodir, but he had half-dragon eyes. Mixed race? Or is it for some other reason? He thought of the news from the informants of Sharp-Eyed Eagle and Solitary City, that the person hired by Sharp-Eyed Eagle had a pair of distinctive eyes.
