The Divine Hunter Chapter 19: Xue Man Jue Lian
, the fastest update to the latest chapter of God-level Demon Hunter!
"Golden Eyes, what is the purpose of doing this?" Frien said in surprise, "Trick Joe out to die?"
"Don't worry, he won't die. He expressed his determination and love like a man, and he may be able to hug the beauty back, and Graymane and the Zhan Kuang family will realize the seriousness of the dragon disaster."
No one told anyone about the fact that he killed Thalmor and pretended to be the scene of a dragon disaster.
Roy rubbed his knees and looked towards the city gate. Everyone from the Gray Mane family was pouring in one after another, with a mixture of relaxation and complexity on his face, "Let's go, it's time to reap the results."
……
Greymane family mansion.
The bright firelight revealed several figures surrounding the bonfire.
"Although it is said that the dragon attacked the Thalmor and rescued my child from its clutches, your news is genuine." Faria Graymane grabbed Thorad's hand and looked at the three of them gratefully,
"Greymane is true to his word. As agreed, for one year starting from today, the Sky Forge will resume supplying weapons to the soldiers of Snowrun City."
Erlund stroked his white beard on his chin and made a solemn promise with a serious face. The Sky Forge was a private property of the Comrades, and basically only provided weapons to its internal members. However, as the master blacksmith, he still had some dignity. Opening for a year is not a problem.
"But there is a premise. Please inform the lord that the equipment forged by the Sky Forge can only be used to deal with the brutal dragon, not the Nords. Do you understand?"
"Yeah."
"Dear Mrs. Faria," Frien rubbed his palms with a trace of expectation on his honest face, "Where is our reward, tailor-made weapons and armor?"
The expression on Faria’s old face froze, and she was slightly reluctant. Looking back now, these three Balgruuf lobbyists seemed to have played no role in the whole incident. Even without them, Joe Zhan Kuang will also bring back his Thorad.
"Tell me, what are your requirements?" Erlund patted his chest cheerfully, "Except for high-quality equipment such as ebony and glass, I will try my best to satisfy you."
The three looked at each other and started discussing in a low voice.
Afterwards, Frien chose a stainless steel sword, while Avel asked for a pair of stainless steel daggers.
Roy asked for a set of fine steel armor. Because the cost was too high, he also paid two hundred gold coins for the materials.
But he doesn't feel any pain. For adventurers, sophisticated weapons and strong armor are the difference between life and death!
Elund carefully checked the two's dominant hands, and measured Roy's body size again, "You will come back to pick up the goods at home in a week."
"Your Excellency Erlund, we have a heartfelt request." Avel said, "I heard that the members of the comrade-in-arms group have outstanding skills and superb martial arts. If you can help Xueman deal with the dragon disaster..."
Erlund shook his head, "The Comrades are in an independent position in the city, and not even Balgruuf can order them. And I am just a forger hired by the Comrades, and I can't do anything about this matter. You need to go to the garden in person. Mead Hall on the east side, negotiate with them sincerely."
The three nodded,
"Then, I wish Thorad a speedy recovery!"
The three bowed and left Gray Mane's house. After turning a few turns, they came to Zhan Kuang's house again. Offred's calm face was filled with anger, and his mood was obviously worse than before.
But since Gray Mane agreed to support, he had no reason to refuse.
In fact, after witnessing the remains of the Thalmor people being wiped out by the dragon, Offred's thoughts changed. The dragon crisis was closer than imagined. If his farm outside the city was attacked, the losses would be absolute. Much bigger than a few dead Thalmers.
Maybe these three guys are right, it’s time to prepare for a rainy day.
So he promised to send a team of people from the Zhan Kuang family to contact the Xueman leader soldiers tomorrow.
……
The matter between Gray Mane and the Zhan Kuang family was settled, and the three of them immediately returned to Longlin Castle to report the news to Balgruuf. The latter was happy and gave everyone a heavy credit, and he would reward them after the matter was completely resolved.
Roy turned around and found Farenjia. He spent 600 gold coins and bought a second summoning spell to summon the fire spirit, as well as a destruction spell, Burning Hand, and a recovery spell, healing spell.
But unfortunately, after absorbing three spell books, he found that he was only talented in the summoning system. The spell runes of the destruction and restoration systems melted and disappeared like ice cubes sinking into the sea.
The summoning rune in his mind - a second string of numbers and simple characters appeared on the door burning with green flames. It is different from summoning a familiar.
Roy guessed it was a certain coordinate in the field of annihilation.
Summon the Fire Spirit:
Consume 100 magic points and 10 experience points to summon a fire elemental spirit from the field of annihilation to assist you in the battle. Duration 5 minutes. As the summoning skill level increases, the duration increases and the magic power consumption decreases.
……
After that, the three of them returned to the imperial flag mare to rest for the night.
It was still dark the next day, and Frien and Avel continued to practice their sword skills hard.
Roy left Xueman City and tried his newly learned summoning technique.
The form of the fire spirit was completely different from the red ball of gas he imagined, or the strong and dangerous fire giant he had seen once. Instead, it was a beautiful woman with a graceful female body wrapped in flames and sulfur. biology.
The fire spirit's vitality is similar to that of ordinary people. It rides on a cloud of fire and floats around like a ghost when it is not above the ground. Its moving speed is ridiculously slow.
She has basically no defense, is more fragile than most mages, and is not very intelligent. She can only obey some simple instructions.
In addition, although she is immune to fire damage, she is more sensitive to frost.
She is undoubtedly at the lowest level of elemental creatures!
She only masters fireball, an active attack method, which is slightly less powerful than Roy's Igni Fury.
But there are also advantages. She can release a fireball every three or four seconds, with a distance of more than thirty meters, and her magic power seems to never run out, and she can keep firing fireballs until the summoning time runs out.
The Fire Spirit is definitely qualified as a long-range attacker, and is more practical than the Cerberus in some situations!
If the fire spirit and the crossbow-wielding illusion join forces to launch a double attack of spells and physical attacks on the target, even the master demon hunter will have to retreat.
The Fire Spirit also has a passive ability, which is similar to the Ice Illusion summoned by the Collamp Seal blessed by Roy. It will explode on the spot the moment it is destroyed, creating a large amount of flames, which is extremely Restrain melee targets.
At two extremes with Frost Illusion.
And when Roy released the spell, he accidentally discovered an important piece of information.
The soul stone he carries can actually help offset the experience consumption of summoning spells. The soul stored in the small soul stone is roughly equivalent to 100 experience points, which is enough to summon a magic pet 20 times or summon a fire spirit 10 times.
And he has three small soul stones on his body. He estimates that if he takes twenty of them every day, he will be able to hone his summoning spells to level 2 in a short time.
……
After the morning exercise, the three of them walked along the edge of the garden and the stone stairs to the right of the Talos statue to visit the comrades. Unexpectedly, they were entangled by two lovers who came together halfway.
"Golden Eyes, Avel, Frien, help us!" Joe Zhan Kuang, with messy blond hair and anxious face, begged,
"You risked your life to save Thorad, but you still can't get the recognition of the Graymane family? Now, isn't it possible for them to reunite openly?" Frien's eyes glanced at the two people holding each other's arms with envy. arm.
His dream of love had been shattered not long ago.
Qiao said worriedly, "Offred only gave me one day today, and tomorrow he will separate me and Aofina again. But did you do me a favor before?"
Roy smiled in his heart, knowing that the other party's memory had been tampered with by the Yaksi Seal.
"Although I can't remember clearly, my intuition tells me that it was you who gave me the courage to rob Thalmo's car!" Qiao pleaded, "Help me to the end, come up with an idea!"
"Please!" the silver-haired Ofina begged, holding her hands in front of her chest, "I will give you all my money and my most precious collection! As long as I am with Joe!"
"Leave aside the reward. Since both of you have come this far, why not make more sacrifices?" Avel crossed his arms and suggested, "You can just elope as I say. Leave Snowman City and change the environment. , start a happy life somewhere else!"
Aofina's face turned pale when she heard this, and she said nervously, "My family has been guarding the city gate, and I can't hide it from them if I want to leave. Besides, I...I don't want to marry Qiao in a way that almost betrays the family. ."
"I hope to get the blessings of my relatives Erlund, Faria and Avustern! Otherwise, this marriage will be incomplete!"
"Beautiful lady, you have posed a big problem for us," Frien said tangledly. "It's not like you don't know the grudges between the War Madness and the Greymane family... Unless the Stormcloaks or the Empire completely separate the winners. Negative, otherwise the differences between the two families will never be resolved!"
"Actually, it's not impossible..." Roy's eyes swept over the couple with blank and miserable expressions. Thinking of their family, a familiar scene immediately came to his mind, and a solution emerged spontaneously, "But I I have to ask, how much do you love each other?"
Qiao and Ofina clasped their fingers, stared at each other, and said almost in unison,
"If I can't stay with him/her, I would rather die!"
"That's good...the differences between your two families can only be resolved by death." Roy showed a mysterious smile, "I just ask now, are you willing to die for each other?"
"What do you mean?"
"Are you willing to give up your life and family honor? Just for love and each other."
……
"Something bad happened! Faria!" The eldest son of the Gray Mane family rushed into the bedroom with a look of panic on his face,
"Awu Stern, you are thirty years old, stop being so frizzy like a child!" The woman beside the hospital bed glared at her burly eldest son and blew into the bowl. The steaming broth was handed to Thorad, who was pale on the hospital bed, "Your brother still needs to recuperate and rest!"
"Something happened to my sister!"
"What did you say?"
"Ophina is dead!" Awustern said with tears in his eyes, "Her body is now lying in Akai's temple! Let's take a last look at her!"
"Bang!"
The porcelain bowl fell to the ground and broke into eight pieces. The sharp fragments cut the skin of the woman's calf. The hot soup splashed on her skirt and made a mess. However, she turned a blind eye and her face was pale and lifeless. His blood was red, his lips were trembling, he stumbled forward, and cried,
"My daughter, take me to see her quickly!"
……
On the other side, the Zhan Kuang family.
Click-click-click, rapid footsteps sounded.
The tall, rough-looking Idolav Zhan Kuang opened the door, strode into the mansion, and said sadly to his family,
"Offred, Burglett... something happened to Joe."
"What trouble did that little **** cause again?" Offred's eyes suddenly burst into flames, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If he dares to make trouble again, see if I don't send him to Sognard myself!"
"Shut up, Offred, it was you who scolded him all the time that caused his problem!"
"Offred, you don't need to send him off, he has entered the Hall of Valor now!" Idoraf thought of his brother's voice and smile again, and the burly man couldn't help but have a sore nose and red eyes, "He is no longer here!"
"What!"
……
These two days are extremely special days for the entire Xueman City.
First, yesterday evening, the two largest families in the city, the Zhan Kuang family and the Gray Mane family, took advantage of the darkness and came out with a large number of people. The scale of the formation alarmed the city lord.
Today, the patriarchs of the two families led more than a dozen of their respective family members and poured into the Hall of the Dead - located on the west side of the garden area below Longlin Castle, a row of weather-beaten buildings The basement under the wooden frame is managed by Akai's priests and is the first stop for all Xueman people after their death. In the temple, the souls of the deceased will be introduced into reincarnation by Akai's believers to start the next phase of their lives.
……
The dim firelight in the temple revealed several faces stained red with tears,
The loud sobs echoed,
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuancynuuuuuuuuuuuuuujou, why can't you think about it so hard?!" Berglit's rough palms caressed his son's pale and cold face, his face was peaceful and not breathing, and he was holding the other hand tightly. A cold little hand.
Both of them wore a brand new wedding ring on their fingertips.
"Ofina, why are you so cruel!" Faria sobbed, tears streaming down her face, her thin and old body shaking like a bamboo pole blown by the wind, "I finally rescued your brother, but you are not here Got it!"
……
"Enough, there is no resurrection after death! There's no point in crying!" Offred glanced at his son's body, a trace of anger and deep sadness flashed across his bloodshot pupils. He didn't understand that his family Why does my son make himself suffer again and again? He waved his hand suddenly and said, "Idolav, please read it, didn't this **** leave a suicide note?"
"Ofina also left a letter!" Avustern shouted,
"Read it together!" Erlund closed his cloudy and red eyes, and his lips trembled involuntarily.
"My dearest family members, Joe/Ofina and I grew up together and were childhood sweethearts. We have made a private decision for life long ago. We have sworn to each other and made a guarantee that we will not marry anyone other than him/her/ Marry. If it weren't for the series of differences caused by Ulfric's rebellion, our children would probably be five or six years old. But the tit-for-tat stance is like an invisible mountain that stands between us, coldly dividing us on both sides. ”
"Do you know that feeling? The person you love most is so close, but you can't touch that person with even a finger; you can see his/her face when you look up when you go out, but we don't even Dare to look at each other and smile. Otherwise, your accusations and other people’s comments will drown us like a tsunami."
"We can only become rats in the sewer, in the darkest and remote corner, pitifully looking forward to your mercy and the moonlight that leaks out once a month."
"No, we are not even as good as mice! We live in pain every day. We don't get what we want, but we are obsessed with it. This is more depressing and uncomfortable than death."
"In the past, alcohol/housework could numb my longing heart, but yesterday, when our souls recovered from the numbness, it can no longer accept all false disguises."
"My heart clearly tells me that I would rather die if we were separated!"
"Ofina/Jo and I made a decision, we are together forever, we are married, and now, even death cannot separate us!"
"My family, we only have one last little wish left. Please give us a blessing and bless our union!"
"Then, bury us in a coffin!"
"We cannot share the same bed in life, but after death, let us sleep in the same tomb!"
……
In the tomb, the dim firelight illuminated a dozen sad and sad faces.
"Aww! Silly daughter! Don't you want to believe your mother?" Faria hugged Ofina's body and cried loudly, "If you beg me again, I will agree to your marriage to Joe out of soft heart. Got it!"
"Damn politics, this **** infighting!" Erlund puffed out his cheeks and punched the wall hard, his skin cracked and blood gurgling out of his fist, "What did it bring? What are we? Hatred, pain, and death!"
"How sad," Erlund gently stroked the corners of his daughter's lips that turned up after she fell asleep, staring at the man across from him who used to be brothers and sisters but is now a stranger, "Offred, we are really stupid! What a storm. Cloak, Empire? How they fight is none of their business!"
"Just think, commit suicide, Songard will close the door to them forever!"
"Isn't the Graymane family the most conservative, always talking about honor, tradition, and belief?" The patriarch of the Zhankuang family stared at his son's face and shook his head dizzily, "You are willing to let your Daughter marrying a supporter of the empire?"
Everyone in the Gray Mane family was speechless.
"Why didn't they agree when they were alive? It's too late to say anything now, they are gone!"
"Everyone, help them!" Idoraf looked around at the men, women, and children present, "Even the devil will not separate two lovers! And we have forced a pair of lovers to death, and a big mistake has been made! ”
Idoraf turned around and looked around at the people around him. They felt guilty, heartbroken, and their eyes were averted.
"Are we going to continue to make mistakes?"
"Breathe in..."
"Breathe in..."
There was a long and uncomfortable silence.
Only suppressed sobs could be heard in the Hall of the Dead.
Two pairs of weather-beaten eyes looked at each other.
Offred, Erlund, and their families kissed the cheeks of the two "dead" lovers one by one, and sent their blessings.
"My child, you betrayed the honor of your family, you are a coward and a deserter!" Offred's face no longer had any of the usual arrogance and meanness on his face. His face was distorted by compassion and heartache, "But so are you. My son. Since the responsibility of the family is an unbearable burden for you, from now on, you will no longer belong to the Zhan Kuang family... But in the next life, I hope you will be married to Aofina and live in love and harmony! I, bless you You!"
"Uuwu, my daughter...Aka, Akai, Talos...the nine holy spirits will bless you. May your love blossom and bear fruit in another land without peace."
"Qiao...as long as you can survive, it doesn't matter who you are with!"
"Ofina..."
A series of blessings were quietly mixed with two crisp whistles, three long and two short.
After everyone noticed this almost blasphemous voice, they lay side by side on the stone bed, but the lifeless lovers blinked their eyelids in unison, and their fingers trembled like an electric shock.
"Plop, plop!"
The heart began to beat, quickly grew stronger, and became steady.
The pale cheeks turned a healthy color.
Like magic - the dead come back to life!
Qiao and Ofina sat up hand in hand. Everyone looked like they had seen a ghost and were so frightened that they took a few steps back.
"It's a fake corpse! The undead are resurrected! Help, devil, devil!" A little boy from a war-mad family was so frightened that he screamed, hugging his mother's lap and crying.
Offred and Erlund, who were closest, widened their eyes and held their breath.
Dozens of pairs of eyes locked on the lovers.
Until the corners of their mouths and eyes slightly curved, revealing lifelike smiles with tears in their smiles.
"We have received everyone's blessings, thank you!" Qiao's eyes slowly swept over everyone, and his voice was as weak as if he had just recovered from a terminal illness, weak, but with a hint of budding hope~IndoMTL. com~ Aofina and I have no regrets in this life! ”
"Holy Spirit bless you! You, you are not dead? What happened?" Two gray-haired mothers anxiously rushed forward to look at their children,
"My conscience was eaten by a dog! How dare you fake your own death to deceive the person you love most?" Offred clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth, but there was a relieved smile at the corner of his mouth.
Ofina smiled softly and explained, "Everything is arranged by Talos. He allows us to experience the meaning of love, family, and family in death!"
"Now that we are resurrected from the dead, please remember the blessings you gave in front of the gods and don't tear us apart again!"
Elund and Offred looked at each other,
Sigh and nod.
"Come down quickly, as long as people are alive, everything can be discussed!"
……
"Haha..." The heterochromatic pupils flashed behind the gap in the stone door of the Hall of the Dead.
