The Divine Hunter Chapter 16: War Madness and Gray Mane

, the fastest update to the latest chapter of God-level Demon Hunter!

Snowman City Open-air Garden.

The lush maple trees swayed gently with the breeze, and some red leaves fell from the trembling branches. Together with the mountain flowers and lavender on the ground, they decorated the entire garden in colorful colors.

Four people were standing on the bench under the tree.

Roy, Frien, Avel.

And they met a man in the market in the wilderness area who was gorgeously dressed, with gray hair, an old face, an elephant hair vest, and a luxurious gem pendant on his chest, full of aristocratic style.

The current patriarch of the Zhan Kuang family, Offred Zhan Kuang, is the father of Joe Zhan Kuang.

"Sir Offred, I heard that the Zhan Kuang family is quite powerful in Snowrun City?" Avel complimented,

"More than just power!" Offred looked around the entire garden as arrogantly as if he was inspecting his own territory. "War Madness is a legendary name. This name and the story it represents have been used for hundreds of years. People sang the praises in ancient songs!"

"Now, except for Lord Balgruuf, our Zhan Kuang family ranks second. As for the other Gray Mane..." Offred Zhan Kuang snorted softly in his nose, his eyes became complicated, and then he raised his head again. He held his chin and pretended to be disdainful, "It's okay not to mention it."

"Then the Snow Man Territory is in crisis, your family will help, right?" Avel asked,

Offred choked for a moment, but still said in a matter-of-fact tone, "The lord will naturally send soldiers to support. Our family's farming and animal husbandry business is at a busy time, and we have to prepare for the entire Xueman residents provide supplies and ensure logistics, which is already a kind of support."

"Especially in recent years, the Stormcloaks have been raging, the roads are not smooth, and bandits have taken advantage of the chaos one after another like weeds to rob our farms and grain trucks, which has made our family miserable and we are really helpless."

His tone was full of hatred and disgust.

Roy suddenly realized, no wonder the Wild Wars family supports the Empire and opposes the Stormcloaks.

It’s also because of profit.

"Let me tell you the truth, Your Excellency," Avel continued, "You also know the fate of Holy Land Town. A well-defended town was reduced to ashes in an instant under the dragon's breath. If A giant dragon attacks Xueman City, do you think that wooden door can withstand it?"

"When that huge evil beast hovers over the city, our family will naturally join the fight, but not now!" Offred Zhan Kuang raised his eyebrows, "Can't the three of you keep the story short? Because of your help It’s for the lord’s sake that I take out all this time, but I still have to inspect my farm, so I don’t have time to waste it with you anymore!”

"Instead of passively waiting for the dragon to come and cause trouble for us..." Frien paused, looked directly at the old man, and said loudly, "Why don't you prepare in advance? Gather your family's men, Zhan Kuang The family sent people to join Xueman's soldiers to study the dragon's weaknesses and prepare to attack them head-on!"

"The dragon may attack your farm outside the city. If you don't send some people to help Xueman, then why will you ask the lord to protect you!"

Offred glared at him displeasedly, "It turns out that Lord Balgruuf asked you to be a lobbyist. It's not that I look down on you, you don't even have a decent house, and you are not even considered a local, and Are you like a country bumpkin? Why are you more anxious than me?"

Offred paused, stood up, walked around the maple tree, and said unceremoniously, "Instead of pestering me here, it is better to persuade Vagina Graymane to give it a try. Their family has its roots in Whiterun. They are profound and experienced. They have been running a weapons store for generations. They have made a lot of money during these years of rebellion and rebellion. They also have a strong group of comrades behind them, so they should contribute to Xueman."

"What organization is the Comrades?" Frien asked.

"You can think of him as a warrior union unique to Skyrim Province. It is a group of highly skilled warriors who love hunting all kinds of dangerous animals. There must be people who are also interested in dragons. And Erlund Graymane He is in charge of the Sky Forge for the Comrades and is their forging master. The current leader of the Gray Mane clan, Virgina Gray Mane, is also a member of the Comrades. Gray Mane has a close relationship with the Comrades."

Roy nodded and made a mental note to deal with Gray Mane and Zhan Kuang, and then deal with the Comrades!

"Sir Offred, although your family and the Graymane family are not at odds with each other, the dragon disaster is imminent. At this time, shouldn't we put aside our past grudges and work together to overcome the difficulties?" Avel paused.

"What you said makes sense!" Offred sneered and glanced at the three of them, "If you can convince the Gray Mane family to take action, then the Zhan Kuang family will not be left behind. Otherwise, there is no need to discuss anything!"

"I hope you keep your word!"

"I guarantee it on my family's honor!"

Having said that, the three of them immediately turned to another target.

……

"Young man from the Zhan Kuang family, give me money!" Under the eaves of the Keris Temple, a little girl wearing a green coat with an impatient face cursed and stretched out her hand to a thin boy with a stooped back. He took his hand and demanded in a disdainful tone, "If you don't give it, I'll beat you!"

"You have asked for all my money a long time ago. Please, Bryce... let me go this time!" The boy retorted weakly, looked around with twinkling eyes, and suddenly ran away. !

"Asshole, don't let me catch you, or I'll slap you!"

The little girl screamed threats and suddenly turned around. Three men under a tall tree not far away were observing her in their spare time.

She suddenly waved her immature fists in a vicious voice,

"What are you looking at? Three big perverts! I'll beat adults just the same!"

After saying the harsh words, she followed the little boy like an energetic little mare.

The three Roys looked at their retreating figures and shook their heads.

"Which brat has such a bad mouth? He is just a little bully!" The young and energetic Dragonborn rubbed his hands and got angry,

"Forget it, are you trying to bully a child?" Avel shook his head and said jokingly, "There is a saying, beating means kissing and scolding means loving. Maybe this Bryce hugged the boy. I have a crush on her, but she is just acting like a spoiled brat."

While talking, the three of them came outside a sturdy and beautiful two-story small foreign-style building.

After the "bang bang" knock on the door, a plainly dressed woman with gray hair and deep wrinkles appeared behind the door, "Who are you and what do you do?"

"Hello, old lady, we are residents who have just moved to Snowrun City. We heard about the name of the Gray Mane family from other places, so we came here to pay a visit..." The Dragonborn grinned, showing what he thought was a kind and gentle expression, "" My name is Frien, they are Golden Eyes and Avel...sorry if it bothers you. ”

He looked over the old woman's shoulder and looked into the house,

"Oh, I remember. Avustern told me that you escaped from Holy Land Town, right?" A hint of surprise appeared on Faria Gray Mane's orange-peeled old face, and her eyes Slowly scanning the faces of the three people, he asked, "The news from Mali, the mother of the Imperial Banner, is that you neither support the Empire nor the Stormcloaks, right?"

"You're right."

"Just don't support those things that abandon tradition and glory, come in."

……

Grey Mane's home is decorated like an inn. It is divided into two floors, with many rooms. There is a burning bonfire in the center, surrounded by debris, but it is messy but not messy.

Not far from the bonfire, an aged wooden ladder leads to the bedroom on the second floor.

The four of them sat on the bench.

"I am Faria Gray Mane, you can call me Faria...tell me, why are the three of you here? Don't mention those vain reasons, why don't you visit, I'm not familiar with you, and the Nords don't have so much hypocrisy." The old woman's cloudy eyes looked deep and sharp at this moment.

"Okay, old lady, let's get it straight." The three of them looked at each other, and the most friendly dragonborn still spoke, "Snowrun City is under threat from the dragon, so we want to Be prepared in advance to deal with the crisis. The Graymane family produces the highest quality weapons in Skyrim, which is necessary to deal with the dragon!"

"Did Balgruv promise you any benefits and let you be a lobbyist? Our family has its own work to do, and we don't have that spare time." The old lady shook her head soberly, "Besides, this is Balgruv. It’s my husband’s responsibility and obligation. Aren’t his soldiers still guarding the guard tower? It’s not our turn to take action!”

"We like this city. It's full of green grass and farms. It's very friendly to people from all over the world. It's one of the best in the entire Skyrim province. We can't bear to see it destroyed, so we want to do something for it. It’s a matter of fact!” Avel said as sincerely as possible.

"I didn't expect that there are such warm-hearted Nords now, but you should be disappointed," her tone dropped, drooping eyebrows, nasolabial folds and eye wrinkles appeared on her face, and a touch of sadness filled her face. He said, "The Gray Mane family has too much time to take care of themselves now, so how can they cooperate with the Snowman soldiers to protect others?"

Roy sighed helplessly.

Zhan Kuang and Gray Mane are indeed strong-willed,

"Mrs. Faria, please excuse me for asking," Avel paused and took the initiative, "I heard that the Gray Mane family is engaged in arms trading. The trouble you are referring to is that the weapons have been robbed. ? Maybe we can help!"

The old woman hesitated for a moment after hearing the words, looked at several people repeatedly with her cloudy eyes, and asked questions instead of answering,

"I heard that the three of them solved a big problem for Balgruuf... they must have some extraordinary abilities!"

"It's just a fluke." Frien rubbed the back of his head and smiled shyly, "But the three of us brothers joined forces, a few corpses, and some mechanisms."

"What about the investigation?" Faria clasped her hands on her chest and asked nervously, "Are the three of you good at finding out the truth?"

"You have asked the right person!" Avel slapped his knee in an exaggerated manner, "This golden-eyed brother is the best among them. He is the best at solving problems for others. He is absolutely professional!"

"Is this true?"

"Talos witnesses for us!"

"That's great!" The old woman suddenly stood up from the chair and circled around the bonfire, "If you can help our family solve the problem, the Graymane family will provide the Skyforge forging for the Snowrun City guards again. High-quality weapons to help them deal with the dragon!"

"Mrs. Faria, can you do this?" Frien asked weakly.

"My husband is Erlund Graymane, the most skilled blacksmith in Skyrim and the master of Skyforge, and one of the main leaders of the family."

"You are the benefactor of the entire family by doing this. We are willing to put aside our past grudges, help Xueman soldiers build weapons, and send some more manpower!"

"Then tell me."

"This matter has something to do with my son Thorad Greymane!" The woman suddenly became emotional. "Everyone says he is dead, but I feel that he is still alive!"

"What exactly happened?"

"You three should have heard about it, right? Our Graymane family supports the Stormcloaks and opposes that cowardly empire that betrays its ancestors and the spirit of Nord!" Faria kept nodding, with a proud look on her face. "But not long ago, my son was arrested during a protest, and then the imperial army imprisoned him somewhere."

"Ahem, madam, although it is a bit cruel to say this," Frien asked, "but we still want to ask, how can you be sure that the imperial soldiers will show mercy to him and imprison him instead of directly executing him?"

He thought about Holy Land Town again, and he was deeply impressed by the neatness with which the imperial soldiers beheaded their heads.

"A mother's intuition and telepathy will be understood when you have children. The Zhan Kuang family has always supported the empire and kept in touch with the old fox at the top of the empire. They must know some inside information. Thorad's Whereabouts." The old woman said with determination.

The three of them looked at each other. Good guy, these two families have such a deep hatred, how come they can live in peace and harmony in the city for so long?

"Madam, what happened to Gray Mane and War Madness?" Frien asked,

"What other grudges can there be? They support the empire and act arrogantly all day long, as if everyone owes them money!"

The three of them couldn't help but nod.

When we first met, Joe Zhan Kuang was indeed quite arrogant, not to mention Offred, the patriarch of the Zhan Kuang family who just called them country bumpkins and his nose almost went up to the sky.

"Yes, the Zhan Kuang family is rich," Faria said excitedly, "but they are all shameless and have no sense of honor. They have abandoned the beliefs and traditions of the Nords. , collude with the empire, kneel down to Thalmo!"

"And we, Gray Mane, have always been on the right path. Ulfric rose up and founded the Stormcloaks. Our family responded immediately. Since then, the War Mad family, who had a harmonious relationship with us, was worried that our business with the Empire would be implicated by us. , exposed the true face of money first, began to spurn us, hate us!"

Avel shook his head. The Stormcloak is not a good person. Forget about being anti-Thalmor. It also discriminates against all non-Nord humans and wants to drive them all out of Skyrim. His "boss" Golden Eyes is also in misfortune. The land is located in it.

"The Zhan Kuang family didn't miss the old friendship at all and kept the news secret, just watching us suffer in our hearts. They must have something on hand to record the whereabouts of my son!"

"They are extremely vigilant against all the Gray Manes and have been sending people to monitor us. Balgruuf remains neutral and will not interfere in the grudges between our two families. We have tried our best to get it. Something." Faria took a deep breath and looked at a few people with her turbid eyes, flashing with tears, "Please help the Gray Mane family find the whereabouts of Thorad! Gray Mane will support Xueman by then, and I Erlund will be asked to use the Sky Forge to tailor a weapon or armor for the three of them!"

Avel and Frien were instantly moved.

The two of them don't have the perverted binding weapons like the witchers.

Roy has weapons, but since the flying lion monster's armor was torn into pieces in the Battle of Cintra, there has been a vacancy of a suitable armor. With the armor, you can also ask Farenjia to attach it. A demon.

"Then it's a deal! Do you have any good suggestions?"

"The clues may be in the members of the Zhan Kuang family, or in their big house."

……

"Katz—"

The door opened, and the sunlight fell on the three faces.

"Man, what's next? Joe owes us a condition, do we let him spit out the whereabouts of Thorad?!" Avel walked down the stairs and looked at the colorful mountain flowers and thistles surrounding the bungalows. .

"The matter involves the grievances between the two families for generations, and it cannot be easily resolved," Roy said, his eyes suddenly glanced at Avel strangely.

"Man, what's that look in your eyes?" Avel felt a chill on his back for no reason and shook his shoulders.

The Dragonborn showed a look of realization, "I remember you mentioned when we were drinking that day that you are the best at sneaking, and you used to sneak around on the streets of Dugu City!"

"What the heck, it's so unpleasant to hear!" There was a trace of embarrassment on Avel's skinny cheek~IndoMTL.com~I was robbing the rich to give to the poor! But I gave up long ago, and now I focus on searching for ancient dragon-related ruins and running errands for Lord Golden Eyes! ”

"Man, do it again..." Frien winked at him, "Go to Zhan Kuang's house to find out the whereabouts of Thorad!"

Avel swallowed hard,

"Zhan Kuang is a local snake. Didn't you see Offred's arrogance? If I were caught by them, wouldn't I be skinned, cramped, and dried into a mummy? Isn't the risk too great?"

"Don't worry," Roy has a magical skill. He can summon his "mountain" back at any time. "If you are in danger, just let me know. I will keep you safe!"

……

The mansion of the Zhan Kuang family is also located in the same area as Gray Mane.

A sneaky man looks like a shadow in the wind, keenly avoiding the patrol guards in the city, and quietly lurks to the west end of the garden area, behind the Zhan Kuangjia mansion, looking around to make sure no one is seeing him. He took out a gray cloth from his arms and covered his face, then took out a small piece of wire and put it into the keyhole.
