The Divine Hunter Chapter 25: Homecoming is like an arrow

The morning breeze blows from Yunding District, passes over the undulating rooftops of Xueman City, and flows into the Hall of the Dead on the west side of the Garden District.

"Akai bless you, may you join a wealthy family in the next life and no longer suffer from poverty, war, and disease."

"May Songard accept your heroic souls and rest in peace in the eternal kingdom!"

The prayer of the priest of the Hall of the Dead came to an end. With a wave of his hand, a faint magical light enveloped the miserable corpses on the stone bed - burned into black mummies by the dragon's breath, and crushed into minced meat by the huge force.

The dim candlelight showed solemn and sad faces. Dozens of family members of the deceased paid their condolences one after another and then gradually left the scene.

"Ms. Irelles, please distribute this thousand gold coins to the families of the deceased brothers." The three Roys called the dark elf guard captain to the corner and handed her a money bag.

There was a hint of surprise in the latter's eyes,

"What do you mean by the three of them?" She shook her head, "They have their own lords who provide generous pensions, which are enough for their relatives to live on."

"Besides, for the Nords, dying in a heroic battle is a blessing!"

The Dragonborn shook his head, "It's just a little thought. We just want to make the lives of the warriors' wives and children more comfortable. Please accept it on your behalf."

Irelles was silent for a moment, nodded, and looked at the three people with soft eyes.

In this era of endless civil war.

It's rare to find such noble Nords as them.

"I would like to thank the three of you for your kindness on behalf of everyone." She said happily, "As the military guards of Xueman City, you will definitely stay in Xueman in the future. If you have any problems, just come to me and I will help!"

“I forgot to ask yesterday,” Aweil said, “What is the identity of Wu Wei?”

Irelles smiled and explained, "The lord is grateful for your outstanding contribution and gives you this honor. If the soldiers in the territory know that the three of them are military guards, they will turn a blind eye to you. One eye. This identity gives you certain immunity from crime, and you can enjoy various conveniences in Xueman Territory. You will gradually understand it later."

"If you need a loyal and reliable helper, whether male or female, you can make a request to the lord, and he will give you a guard who will be loyal to you until death."

Frien was inexplicably agitated after hearing this. The bodyguard and plump female bodyguard seemed to make his heart beat more than the female blacksmith. "It's a pity that Golden Eyes can't accompany him to enjoy it..."

"Where is he going?" Irileth asked.

Avel and Frien couldn't help but look at the witcher.

Risk their lives to kill the dragon, gain money and fame, their ordinary life has just gotten a little better, but the backbone suddenly bids them farewell.

The anticipated more exciting adventure came to an abrupt end.

The two of them inevitably felt melancholy and confused.

"Go home." Roy explained stutteringly, "a place thousands of miles away from Skyrim Province and the Cyrodiil Empire. My friends, property, relatives, comrades and brothers who are close to each other in life and death, my favorite The women are all over there."

"Come back?" A look of regret appeared on Irelles's dark cheeks.

During the dragon-slaying battle, she witnessed Roy's extraordinary combat power. Without such a strong support, the battle would undoubtedly be much more difficult if another dragon attacks in the future.

A comforting smile appeared on the corner of Roy's mouth, and he stuttered,

"I promise to come back to see you, but I have to solve the trouble at home first!"

Actually, Roy was a little worried about the golden eyes that warned him after slaying the dragon.

Going home is also to temporarily avoid the limelight.

……

Leaving the Hall of the Dead, the three came to the enchantment room of Longlin Castle.

Roy wants to find out whether the power he gained in this world can be used in another world.

For example, dragon roar and summoning spells.

The mages are undoubtedly the group of people who have studied the plane and the world the most profoundly.

……

"Novigrad, how far is it?" Farenga put down the dragon bone in his hand and raised his eyebrows, "Is it so far that you worry that the summoning spell will fail?"

Roy pinched his pale knuckles. Now, he couldn't find any reason to hide his origin.

"In another world." He explained calmly.

Frien's eyes widened.

"No wonder you keep talking about the long journey and don't understand the customs and language of Skyrim at all! It turns out that you don't belong to Tamriel at all, or even our world!"

"Don't be excited, man. Golden Eyes was accidentally thrown into the portal by a powerful enemy and came to Skyrim Province, where he bumped into us." Avel added.

When Farenjia heard this, his face was calm and not surprised.

"Actually, I have already guessed that the unique enchantment on your sword is the best evidence, but I haven't been able to confirm it before. Yesterday, after you summoned the pile of indescribable tentacles when dealing with Mirmenir, I was almost I can confirm that you are from somewhere else."

The narrow eye slits under Farenjia's hood showed strong interest, "If they can throw you into the portal, then at least it is the master of the summoning system who takes action? How could you provoke them?"

The spells in Skyrim are unpredictable and profound. Perhaps due to the restrictions of the devil or the Holy Spirit, there is no situation where warlocks can open portals at will like in the Witcher world.

Only the most powerful summoning mages master this method.

Roy smiled bitterly and said nothing.

"It doesn't matter if you don't say it." The mage's eyes fell on the demon hunter with gleaming eyes. "But this is the first time I have seen humans from another world. Mr. Golden Eyes, can you introduce to me the customs of your world? Favor? How is the spell system different from Tamriel? You must have cast a spell similar to telepathic communication on Avel a long time ago, so he can understand your language."

Farenja fired off a barrage of questions.

Frien glanced at Avel unconvinced, wondering why he couldn't compare to this sly-looking guy?

Why did Golden Eye choose him for spiritual communication? It couldn’t possibly be because he was too stupid, right?

Roy shook his head,

"You can't finish your questions in three days and three nights. But time is pressing. My family and friends are still in an unpredictable crisis! Please answer my questions first!"

"I promised to do you a favor for free before, and this time it will be as you wish... Can summoning spells be released in other worlds, I think it is feasible!" Farenjia rubbed his chin and analyzed, "Summoning spells Essentially it is the ability to combine space manipulation and contract."

"The contract has been imprinted in your mind. It looks simple and inconspicuous, but it contains soul, equivalent transactions and other items. Unless you take the initiative to erase it, it will always exist."

The contract is the rune, Roy thought thoughtfully.

"The realm of annihilation is too big to be described, with endless realms...the devil only lives in one corner of it. Can you understand? Summoning spells bring summoned objects from annihilation to Tamriel. There is already a way to cross the realm. The quality of layer barrier."

"If you can manipulate space skillfully, distance will not be a problem for you. In other words, whether you are in Tamriel, another continent, or another world, you can summon the Gate of Annihilation. It just depends on the price."

Roy breathed a sigh of relief. The ancient blood entered the early stage of awakening, and its spatial ability has almost undergone a qualitative change. Therefore, in the world of demon hunters, it is reasonable to be able to summon the fire spirits of annihilation and hellhounds.

But it consumes probably more magic power.

……

"I have another question. Summoning spells can be cast across borders, but what about Dragon Roar?"

"Huh?" Farengar looked stern, "You want to learn dragon roar? This is even difficult for traditional Nords. Didn't you see the jealous look on our Lord Balgruuf's face? ? Let alone a visitor from another world, I advise you to give up on this idea!"

"Voss——" Roy suddenly turned his head, facing the door on the inner wall of the room, and shouted casually, without any accumulation of energy, one-tenth of the power exploded.

An invisible shock wave surged out of the center of the earth, and the locked door was directly overturned and flew into the house!

Farenja was stunned, with embarrassment and shock written on his face.

"Honor, Mora! Are you also a dragonborn? No, you didn't absorb the dragon soul at that time!"

"His soul is powerful enough, so he got some insights from the Dragon Language Stone Tablet in the Wild Waterfall Temple!" Avel explained on his behalf.

"Really?"

Farenjia looked questioning. After struggling for a long time, he pursed his dry lips and said, "This door costs 20 gold coins. Remember to compensate me."

"Winterhold has not done any relevant research on whether dragon roar can be released in another world, but I can probably analyze it."

"I have to explain to you first. In our world, there are two types of magic. One originates from the light world and constantly releases 'light and soul' into our world. The soul here refers to the unconscious soul. . You can think of the light world as the place corresponding to annihilation, where powerful beings comparable to demons live."

Light world!

Roy finally knew the origin of the huge sun-like hole he saw during meditation, as well as the surrounding small holes.

"The light realm provides magic energy to our world. Most mages rely on magic energy to release spells."

"The dragon's roar belongs to the second type of spell, originating from the bones of the earth. The dragon has disappeared for thousands of years. Before Frien, the dragonborn has not appeared for hundreds of years. The dragon's roar and gray beard in Winter Castle Research has not been interrupted."

"The bones of the earth are integrated with the earth under our feet, which is the planet we are on. It has been sleeping since ancient times, but it contains unimaginable and unpredictable power. The dragon can speak through the dragon's language To mobilize the power of the earth bone, Dragonborn is no exception." Farenga paused, "And ordinary people need a powerful soul to pretend to be a 'dragon soul' and then mobilize it."

"When we are on the planet Nirn, it is reasonable to mobilize the earth bones. Note that the earth bones are unique to the planet Nirn!"

"But once you leave this planet, where are the bones of the earth in other worlds? How do you mobilize a power that doesn't exist at all?" the mage asked,

"Let the bones of Nirn pass through the space barrier and reach another world?" Roy thought.

Farenjia shrank his neck slightly, with an expression of looking at a fool, shook his head and sighed, "Do you regard the earth bone as the lowest summoned object like the fire spirit and the **** dog? Don't say it's you, even all the demon gods Even working together can't transfer the Earth Bone to annihilation."

"The earth bone is equivalent to the planet, so it is naturally difficult to transfer," Roy stammered, "But what if it's just its power?"

Farenjia was stunned for a moment by the question, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

And Frien was playing with a soul stone beside the table, his cheek muscles twitching, and the more he listened, the more he felt like his scalp was numb.

What are they talking about? Frien understood every word, but when they were put together, it was like hearing a book from heaven.

"You mean to simply borrow the power of the Earth Bone? But who is willing to lend it to you?"

Roy glanced at the dumbfounded Dragonborn.

After Roy and Frien shared a dragon soul, a close bond was formed between the two, and the other could even serve as a signpost to the door to his world.

This is not a ready-made "borrower".

"It's simply unheard of... How did you come up with such a strange idea? No, what a genius idea!" A look of extreme excitement suddenly appeared on Farenjia's face, stroking his chin and walking around Dragonborn and Roy. Stopping in circles, his eyes wandered over them.

"Man, don't go around, I'll faint if you go around again!"

The mage slowed down and said loudly, "Since Golden Eyes can master summoning spells, he has certain spatial talents."

"Dragonborn are rumored to be geniuses in martial arts and magic! Frien must also have a talent for space."

"Use the ancient ancestral contract of Winterhold to build a 'bridge' between the two of you across the world..."

"Bang!"

Farenjia clapped his hands violently, "I think we can give it a try."

"Do you want to do it or not?"

Three pairs of eyes locked on the Dragonborn.

"Please, don't look at me with such hungry eyes. I haven't got a girlfriend yet... What on earth are you doing?!"

……

In the following time, Farenjia gave full play to his true nature as a research madman.

Took out a large book with a black cover and a parchment soaked with magic, and spent a long time reading, discussing, and transcribing.

Before the sun went down, we finally got two copies of the contract.

"Okay, you two, you need to drip blood, sign your names, and then tear them into pieces, and the agreement between you will be completed."

Farenja's expectant gaze swept across their faces, "Golden Eyes will obtain a rune, similar to the magic rune formed after using a spell book."

"After injecting magic energy into it, the runes will be activated, and you can borrow one of Frien's powers, but it is only the most basic power and has many limitations."

"Essentially, this is also a summoning spell, but the summoning object is the power of the earth bones inspired by the Dragonborn."

"Oh," Frien said with an expression that said he knows everything. He picked up the contract and signed it without saying a word.

Duang!

The witcher gave him a gentle tap on the back of his head. This silly boy was not afraid of being sold and even helped count the money!

"Frien, think carefully! Are you sure you want to lend me your power? This contract will not do you any good!"

The Dragonborn smiled calmly,

"Come on, Golden Eyes, without your help, I would have lost my head in Holy Land Town! Why not borrow something?!"

After speaking, he accepted the contract without any doubt.

Two minutes later, Roy and Frien signed, cutting their hands to bleed and tear them into pieces in one go.

In a blink of an eye.

The parchment contract turned into ashes and poured into their bodies.

On top of the skill runes belonging to the summoning spells in Roy's mind, in addition to the two strings of numbers representing the fire spirit and the **** dog, a majestic image suddenly appeared - an armored black dragon with cold eyes. .

Full of contradictory and wonderful beauty.

Summoning Spell Level 2: You have mastered summoning fire spirits, summoning familiars, and——

Summon the Dragon's Roar: You have made a pact with the Dragonborn. You use the Dragonborn as a medium to summon the power of the Earth Bone in front of you. The basic consumption is 1 point of magic power (the magic power consumption is reduced by 60%. The further away you are from the Dragonborn, the higher the cost). Currently, you can only summon The unwavering strength and power you have mastered.

Summoning dragon roars is the same as releasing dragon roars, and will consume your own soul energy.

The cooldown time is 21 minutes.

……

The whole process, specifically - Frien is equivalent to a middleman who controls the exclusive purchasing channel and does not make any profits. Roy is a customer who has a close relationship with him, and Digu is the producer.

Roy paid his soul energy, and Frien used this soul energy to exchange the power of the Earth Bone from the Earth Bone, and then gave it to Roy for him to use Dragon Roar.

The magic power consumed is the transportation fee of the earth bone power.

This rune does not affect Frien's own dragon roar.

……

Roy can feel that there is a huge difference between summoning a dragon roar and casting a dragon roar on his own.

The power of the Earth Bone comes from the Dragonborn, not the ground beneath your feet!

With the establishment of this rune, the connection between him and the Dragonborn due to the Dragon Soul Mirmenir became even more unbreakable!

In the past, I could only sense Frien's position, but now I can sense his general physical condition.

Roy estimated that if it continues to develop, he will be able to sense the psychological activities of the Dragonborn, which is the spiritual link.

Maybe you can borrow more abilities or items from the other party in the future.

Even, summon the opponent to the world of the demon hunter.

Hiss——

As soon as this idea came to Roy's mind, he suddenly felt an extreme discomfort.

Early Blood Warning!

He immediately gave up the idea.

Avel paid attention to the interaction between the two.

There was a trace of envy on the thin face.

But he is just an ordinary person, and he does not expect to exchange power with someone like Golden Eyes who is destined to be extraordinary.

He doesn't have the qualifications either.

Besides, he is already very grateful for the other party's help.

……

"Farenjia, thank you for your help, the effect seems to be good!"

"We are creating miracles every step of the way! Calling power from a world away is an innovative milestone!" The mage was cautious this time and said uncertainly, "But don't be too happy too early. , whether this contract will take effect or not can only be confirmed after you return to your hometown!"

"After all, the rules of the two worlds are different."

"Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, I owe you a favor!" Roy solemnly promised that at least this attempt gave him great inspiration. Summoning spells can also be varied.

"Remember this sentence, when you return to Tianji again, you must tell me your feelings in detail! This is my reward for serving you!"

“It’s a deal!”

The mage checked the two of them again to confirm that there were no omissions.

Next, Roy spent all the nearly two thousand gold coins he had on him! I spent one thousand gold coins to buy five small soul stones, plus I already had them.

He holds five small, two medium, and one large.

Then he spent five hundred gold to acquire an enchantment table from Farenjia. Kalkstein and Coral would definitely be interested in this thing.

Maybe you can use it to make the alchemist stay in Gawain's house willingly.

In the end, I simply spent the remaining 500 gold to buy the third summoning book-Summoning Ice Spirit: It consumes 60 (lv2 is reduced by 10%, ancient blood is reduced by 50%) points of magic energy, 15 Point experience to summon an ice elemental elf from the Annihilation Realm to fight for you for 10 minutes.

……

I don’t have time to try new skills at the moment.

Roy took a deep breath and checked the goods in the storage space again.

Various herbs, enchanting tables, dozens of small life potions, small magic potions, hundreds of pounds of dragon blood, dragon bones, dragon tendons, soul stones...

……

And the new power he has mastered, the Way of Dragon Roar, the Ring of Time, the Gate of the World...

This trip to the sky has been extremely fruitful, and it’s time to go home.

……

The three figures left Longlin Castle and walked side by side under the beautiful and huge maple tree in the garden.

"Golden Eyes, don't you consider following me to the Roaring Peak to meet Greybeard?" Frien reluctantly handed the steel sword to Roy again, trying his best to retain it, "When you learn how to hold on, you will have the remaining two powers. Zhiyu and leave again? We will set off tomorrow!"

Roy shook his head.

"Then don't forget your comrades!" Frien hugged him heavily, "Come back to see us early! Maybe I'll give you a surprise then!"

"Then I'll wait and see!"

"By the way, how are you going to leave? By carriage or by boat?"

"I still have one unfinished business." Roy turned to Avel, his calm and clear gaze made the man who had been wandering for half his life feel sore at the corners of his eyes inexplicably, "Golden Eyes are actually useless... I have been very happy during this time. , I found the meaning of life again!"

"I don't feel forced or enslaved!"

After Avel finished speaking, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I am really crazy to ask people not to terminate that slave-like contract!

But he had to admit it. ~IndoMTL.com~ He was afraid and worried that after being untied from Golden Eyes, he would become that ordinary explorer again. He might be killed by the agency one day in an unknown ruins and turned into a withered skeleton. .

The military guards, the house, everything will be in vain.

"Man, what kind of syndrome are you suffering from?" Roy smiled happily, "You forgot, I made a promise the day I pulled you out of the cobweb."

"Before I leave, I will give you your freedom! You should enjoy your life!"

"But we will always be friends!" He put his arms around their shoulders, patted them, and then stuffed a bulging linen bag into their hands, "I am temporarily absent, but you can act together! As for these, they are all trophies from killing the dragon."

"Ask Erlund Graymane to help you with the Sky Forge. Maybe he can make some dragon bone and dragon scale equipment for you."

"Even if it's my parting gift!" Roy winked at the two of them. He couldn't use Frien's earth bone power in vain.

"Yes!" Roy snapped his fingers, and three bottles of Nord mead suddenly appeared in his hand.

"Come on, let's have a drink together at the end! I wish you both a bright future!"

Three wine bottles collided heavily in mid-air, the wine splashed everywhere, the wine foam reflected the sunlight, and was stained by a few scattered red maple leaves, filling the air with a faint sweet fragrance.

"GuluGulu..."

The mead entered the stomach, and the cheeks were flushed. At the moment when they should have laughed happily and sang boldly, Avel and Frien felt lost, especially Avil, who felt empty in his chest. He was once closely connected with the golden eye. The telepathy was gone.

The witcher casually opened a dark door, jumped in, and disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace.

It's like there has never been a person like him in this world!
