The Divine Hunter Chapter 20: Comradeship

The weather was sunny, and the rising sun coated the rows of houses in Xueman City with a soft golden glow. The romantic golden light shone on a pair of beautiful men and women, making the smiles on their faces as bright as flowers.

"We will bear in mind the great kindness of the three of you!" After getting his wish, Qiao Zhankuang put on a new suit of clothes and held his wife's hand. His whole face was radiant and his face was filled with a happy smile, and the woman There was an apple-like blush on her cheeks, and she kept flirting with her husband.

"So your families have accepted your fate and will no longer force you to separate?" Frien crossed his arms and looked at the two of them with joy,

"It's not without any impact," a trace of regret flashed in Ofina's eyes, "After all, people's words are terrible, and Faria is worried that the family's reputation will be damaged, and people will mistakenly think that Graymane has switched to the empire, and openly betrayed us. Kicked out of the family..."

"Offred is also worried, so starting from today, I am no longer a member of the Zhan Kuang family. I have moved out of my home." Although Joe said this, there was no trace of sadness on his face. On the contrary, I was a little relieved, "Ofina no longer belongs to Gray Mane. But we are allowed to go back every few months to see our families."

"We are just ordinary citizens of Skyrim Province now," Qiao said firmly and with a smile, "But so what? As long as we are with her, all difficulties will not be a problem. Maybe in the future we will leave Snowman Territory, Travel to other territories and spend your honeymoon."

"Congratulations to both of you, and wish you a happy wedding!" Roy sighed slightly. He was inexplicably happy and a little melancholy to be able to help a couple of lovers get married. He couldn't help but think of the coral in another world, "But if Before leaving Snowrun, you must pay attention to safety. The Stormcloaks are in trouble, and the road may not be smooth."

"By the way, you three, we have a gift for you!" The two couples looked at each other and took out a few things from the package in tacit agreement.

An ancient book with a black cover, a prismatic crystal amulet, and a bulging bag, when shaken gently, make a clear and moving sound of gold coins colliding.

"This amulet was a birthday gift from Erlund to me when I was a child. It is a necklace made of gold and flawless gemstones. It is worth thousands of gold, but now the ring given by Joe is enough."

Ofina said, "This book was accidentally bought by Joe from a magical wizard. It has something to do with magic. Maybe you can use it."

Qiao Luo caressed the ring and said with a slight shame, "Sorry, we can only take out so much. We spent a lot of money on the new wedding ring, and we have to keep some for future plans."

The three of them smiled and did not refuse. Avel and Frien each shared five hundred gold coins, while Roy took the book and looked at it briefly.

Avel told him the title of the book was "About Annihilation", and he put it into space.

As soon as he got the prismatic crystal amulet, Roy's expression immediately changed.

"What are your next plans?"

"Let's rent a room in Chiqi Mare first, and then move to Ximu Town after the dragon disaster has passed. I heard that the scenery there is beautiful and the climate is pleasant."

"Okay then, I'll meet you for a drink when I have time!" Frien waved goodbye.

"In any case, thank you for your generous helping hand," the two couples bowed heavily to Roy and the others, watching them go away, "May Kenaris bless you!"

"It feels good to occasionally guest star as a follower of the Goddess of Love, and do something good?" Frien couldn't help but curl his lips slightly.

Avel is also in a light mood. In the past, he would never do good deeds for no reason, but I have to say that it is quite beautiful to be appreciated.

Farewell to the two couples, Roy and the others walked up the stone stairs to the east of the garden.

His attention turned to the template.

The possession of special forging materials - mysterious and flawless gems was detected.

The Hand Crossbow Gabriel has the following enhancement options:

1. Strengthen any existing enchantment: Simplification, Stun Arrow

2. Consume the mysterious and flawless gems to obtain new enchantments on the hand crossbow——

Gem mark: Inject 20 points of magic power into the crossbow. After hitting the target, a special mark will be left in his body for 24 hours.

During this period, Gabriel's damage to the target is increased by 10%. The hand crossbow will sense and search the location of the marker anytime and anywhere until the marker disappears.

Well, ordinary monsters can't withstand his arrows. This skill is obviously for hunting large creatures.

In a world infested by dragons, it comes at the right time!

It’s you!

Confirm!

Shua——

In the space, Gabriel's appearance instantly changed dramatically. A layer of brilliant and beautiful gem dust spread out on the gentle shell that was originally as flexible as flesh and blood. Every particle of dust sparkled in the sunlight.

The presentation instantly improved to a new level.

"Well, it's just a little too conspicuous."

……

The mead hall is like a huge plate sitting on the rock, receiving the sun, rain, dew, and the essence of the sun and the moon.

The terrain is only slightly lower than Longlin Castle, and it is located in the second echelon of the entire Xueman City.

The hall is brightly lit. The first thing that catches the eye is the bonfire that every household in Xueman City has. But the bonfire here is rectangular, much larger than the ones in ordinary people's homes. Three rectangular tables surround the bonfire. The table is filled with all kinds of drinks - alto, Nord mead, malt liquor... you can drink them whenever you feel like it.

Roy could imagine that when a banquet was held, the guests would sit around the fire, and the glasses would be intertwined and the jumping flames would reflect people's excited faces, which would really add to the fun.

Roy turned his eyes again.

This hall is quite spacious and tall, with a rough decoration style. Ivory, shields, and beast head specimens are hung neatly on the walls. The thick columns at the four corners support a ceiling more than five meters above the ground.

It did not divide the upper part into a second floor, so it was quite grand. Later, a staircase leading to the basement was ingeniously built in an inconspicuous place in the corner of the hall.

Underneath that, according to Roy's opinion, should be the bedrooms of the members of the comrades-in-arms.

At this moment, three people were sitting sparsely in the hall, with relaxed and content faces. They were two men wearing gray steel armor who looked broad-shouldered and broad-chested, and a man sitting in the corner with long chestnut hair and a band on his cheeks. A huntress with a graceful and intriguing figure wearing gorgeous wild tattoos, a war skirt and a sleeveless iron breastplate.

The two men carried weapons even indoors, and one of them even carried a long sword behind his back.

Moreover, the three people's eyes were painted with a circle of dark brown dye, like an enlarged version of eye shadow.

It adds a weirdness and wildness to them.

Roy stared at the man carrying the sword, his eyes quietly becoming deep. At the same time, he changed the skill of Guardian Blessing from Gluttony to Observation, and the Observation skill instantly changed to lv4.

……

Not only him, but also the female hunter and another man named Wilkas have surprisingly high attributes, much higher than ordinary Nords, and there seems to be a layer of fog around them, making it difficult for him to see clearly. There seems to be some kind of trump card hidden in the position.

Thoughts swirled in Roy's mind.

Similar to the energy of the demon **** Sanjian, is there a connection between them and a certain demon god?

The intrusion of the three uninvited guests alarmed the owner of the hall, and three pairs of alert eyes turned around.

"Guest of Longlin Castle? Why do you come to the Mead Hall?" Farkas spoke, his voice as hoarse as a dull knife, and with a force that pierced people's hearts.

"Oh, we heard that the most skilled warriors in Snowrun City live in the Mead Hall, and we came here to get to know each other and make friends..." Frien looked at the three members with a hearty smile.

"This is totally wrong. It's not that you are the most skilled, but that you are the best at drinking!" Another man who looked similar to Farkas but was carrying a one-handed weapon suddenly stood up and faced him. The three of them threw a bottle of wine over.

Avel took it keenly in his hand, opened the cork, drank it down in a gulp, and handed it to Frien and Roy, each taking a big gulp.

"Enough! Come and sit down, I am Wilkas," the man waved to them, "This strong and brave man is my brother Farkas, and this elegant and beautiful lady is called Ella. , don’t underestimate her because of her charming appearance. As the saying goes, the more beautiful the beast, the more dangerous it is, and ordinary men can’t get close to her.”

The three of them also reported their names and sat down next to Wilkas unceremoniously. Farkas raised his glass to them again,

And Roy moved his nose, and the body odor of wild animals hit his face, and he couldn't help but frown.

Does the comradeship raise dogs?

"Bang!"

The four wine bottles collided suddenly, and the sweet fragrance of mead filled the air.

The four of them drank a bottle in one go, then leaned back in their chairs and burped comfortably.

"Haha, you three have good drinkers. It shows that you are all warriors." Farkas smiled enthusiastically, showing a set of perfect and hard teeth, with particularly prominent canine teeth. "No wonder you can escape from Holy Land Town." Come and listen, how powerful is the dragon? I heard that it can turn people into charcoal with just one breath of fire?"

He looked interested, like a hunter choosing his prey.

"Farkas, this is not the way to treat guests!" On the other side, Wilkas opened a chair and sat across from the three of them, his eyes scrutinizing,

"I guess the three of you who came here want to join the comradeship and share the honor that we have established for more than 4,000 years?"

Roy's pupils froze, more than four thousand years of history? It has a longer history than human settlement in the Demon Hunter Continent. What an ancient organization this is.

"The Pioneers of Krakow are happy to accept warriors from all over the world. As long as you pass the test, we are one!"

"Help each other and support each other! Always stand behind our shield friends so that the world will never have a chance to sneak up on us!"

The huntress Ella walked over with her slender and smooth thighs. She put her hands on the table and leaned over to look at the three of them. Her eyes were as sharp as a leopard watching her prey.

The abundant capital on the chest is increasingly revealed.

"Ahem..." Avel pretended to be excited, "As long as you pass the test, can you join the comrades? It doesn't matter if you are not a Nord or have poor martial arts skills?"

"The comrades group does not limit any race, as long as they desire strength, are not afraid of challenges, and unite their compatriots!" Farkas joked, "Of course, demons, vampires and the like are not disturbed."

"So what if your martial arts skills are poor? As long as you are not afraid of hardship, everyone in the comradeship will be your teacher."

After listening to Avel's translation, Roy remained expressionless.

But there were waves in his heart. He didn't expect vampires to exist in this world. How was it different from the world of witchers?

What is a devil, a follower of the devil?

This place seems to be vaster and more complicated than I thought.

"So what rules, responsibilities and obligations do you need to follow to join the comrades group?" Frien asked.

"In my opinion, those are the only ones - no internal fighting, no participation in disgusting politics, no bullying of the weak with a gun, and no act without shame and sense of honor." Wilkas punched his right fist Left Palm, "For more specific details, you have to ask Krako Graymane and accept his 'first impression' check first. Believe me, most Nords have a powerful soul that meets the requirements. ”

"Oh, so the Comrades have always adhered to neutrality and neither supported the Empire nor the Stormcloaks?" Avel keenly captured the meaning of his words.

"Yes, this is our way of survival..." Ella knocked on the table and sat across from the three of them with her legs crossed, "An organization can only exist for a long time if it is not contaminated by politics! Otherwise! It will fall apart sooner or later. According to the news coming out of the city, you three are also neutrals, right?"

The three nodded.

The eyes of the members of the comradeship became softer.

"Sorry, I have one last question," Frien paused, "What is the status of the Comrades in Snowrun City? What kind of work do you usually do?"

"The history of the Comrades is longer than that of Snowrun," Wilkas said proudly, "We are on an equal footing with Balgruuf."

"As for income, it mainly helps the people of Snowman Territory to eliminate bears, saber-toothed tigers and other beasts that disrupt their normal lives; mediates individual or collective disputes; accepts employment from lords or private individuals; and occasionally sells weapons and equipment forged in the sky furnace. ”

Roy nodded. In this way, the Comrades Group is similar to a mercenary organization, except that the relationship between the members is more harmonious and they never interfere in politics.

"Have you guys thought about it carefully? Do you want to take the test?" Faskar was gearing up and had obviously prepared some special entertainment projects.

"Um, three of you, actually we have something else to ask for when we visit the Mead Hall," Avel's eyes slowly swept over the three of them, "Farkas, did you just say that you were interested in the dragon in Holy Land Town? ”

"Of course..." Farkas suddenly stood up, circled around the bonfire, held his head high, and said in a loud voice, "More than 20 years have passed since I joined the comrades at the age of seven or eight. I have hunted large areas in Skyrim Province. Most wild animals, sword cats, bears, mammoths, giants... ordinary prey can no longer satisfy me."

"The dragon that has disappeared for thousands of years has appeared again. I also want to see the legendary dragon roar and breath!"

The three of Frien were immediately delighted. The comrades-in-arms seemed not as difficult to convince as expected!

"Then we are here at the right time! Mr. Farkas, there is an opportunity in front of you now." Avel drank a glass of ale, wiped the saliva from his beard, and said in a deep voice, "The dragon first It attacked Holy Land Town, and yesterday it attacked the Thalmor carriage near Rolic Town. According to our analysis, it will attack the territory near Snowrun City next time!"

"At that time, we, the soldiers in Snowrun City, and members of the Zhan Kuang Family and the Gray Mane Family will rush to fight fiercely outside the city!" Frien extended his hand to him and invited, "Join us and fight for You have added a lot of color to your life resume."

"Man, think about it carefully, Dragon Slayer!" Avel said seductively with a look of yearning on his face, "Only the one-eyed Olaf a few epochs ago had such a title!"

"And if we repel or even kill the invading dragon, we will gain the supreme glory of the entire Skyrim Province, no, the entire empire."

When Farkas heard this, his breathing suddenly became heavier, his hands clenched into fists, and his face was filled with excitement. His brother Wilkas remained silent.

"So this is your idea, you want your comrades to risk their lives to work for nothing?" Ella, the calmest, smiled disdainfully, her sharp eyes seeming to penetrate into the hearts of the three of them, pointing out the flaws in their words, "First Regardless of whether the dragon slayer's name is more important or his life is more important, shouldn't you pay a generous reward? The comradeship is not a charity hall."

"It's our fault that we didn't make it clear," Avel breathed a sigh of relief and said apologetically, "Lord Balgruuf will never mistreat warriors who are willing to participate in the war. He will give you a sufficient commission!"

"If you want, you can think of this as a hired dragon-slaying mission!"

The two Farkas brothers gave each other a knowing look,

Ella shook her head, flicked her ponytail behind her head, pushed away the chair and stood up,

"I don't have the rough skin and thick flesh of these two brothers. If you want to slay the dragon, you men must find a way to slay it yourself!"

Avel’s eyes turned to the two Farkas brothers who were thinking,

"You two, can you recommend other members of the comrades-in-arms to us?"

"It's not necessary for the moment..." Wilkas's eyes flicked over Frien's body, and stayed longer on Avel, and finally solidified on Arondette behind Roy's shoulder.

"We are very interested in slaying the dragon together, but first, we have to confirm the skills of our fellow travelers... Let's start with you, work hard, brother, let us recognize it!"

"What do you mean?"

Farkas pinched the shoulder at the back of his neck and revealed a hideous smile, "Do you dare to spar with us in the field behind the mead hall? Magic is prohibited, only use the blade in your hand!"

"Why don't you dare?" Frien's chest surged with enthusiasm, "But we only decide the winner, and that's it!"

……

A group of six people poured into the yard without stopping.

The center of the spacious circular venue.

Frien was wearing a dirty fur armor, with an iron sword in his right hand and a leather shield in his left hand. He started to fight against Wilkas, who was wearing sparkling steel armor and holding a bright steel sword and shield.

The two of them first walked around their opponent a few times tentatively. Wilkas could see from his jerky steps his general weapon level, so his mind settled down and his body relaxed.

Frien, the newborn calf, took the lead in attacking, with his shoulders hidden behind his shield. It was like a gray lightning that collided with Wilkas, but the latter's figure was as steady as a mountain and did not shake at all.

He struck Wilkas's shield with another sword, but it was deflected by the metal strip. Before he could retract the sword, Wilkas used the hilt of the steel sword to hit his collarbone except the leather armor. This was a strike. A high-quality steel sword forged from the sky furnace, even the hilt is powerful enough!

"Ouch!"

Frien groaned~IndoMTL.com~The collarbone was visibly red and swollen.

The pain penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

Cold sweat suddenly broke out!

However, he gritted his teeth and continued to struggle with Wilkas, blocking, sidestepping, and swinging his sword. As a sword and shield player, his experience and reaction speed were much worse than Wilkas's.

Ten seconds later, a steel sword was placed on his neck.

"Frien, right? I can see that you have just learned swordsmanship and your martial arts are not very good." Wilkas threw him a bottle of medicinal wine, "But you are strong-willed and courageous, even if you are in an absolute position." Even though he is at a disadvantage, he dares to take the initiative to attack! He is a good prospect for a warrior!"

He stretched out his hand and shook the confused Dragonborn, "I approve of you!"

"So this time it's my turn to ask for advice?" A pair of daggers made a beautiful spin in Avel's palm.

The battle begins again!
