Arthur is trekking to a bandit's den known as the White River Rock.

The White River is a river that runs through the sky, starting from Lake Irintana near Phocles in the south, turning north along the mountains on the eastern side of the snowman, then joining the Blackwater and heading north again, finally joining the Sea of the Dead near Stormhelm.

There are many mountains along the Shirakawa River that can overlook the river, and there are no less than 10 places that can be used as bases called "Shirakawa Lookouts", and the "Shirakawa Lookout" that is closest to Xueman has recently been talked about by many residents of Xueman.

As for the reason, it is said that there was an infighting among the bandit gangs entrenched there, and the two leaders fled to the snow to surrender to the guards, claiming that the big boss had made a windfall and wanted to kill the others and swallow them for his own.

"Although Olaf is known to be a poor ghost, it is rumored that he is so poor because he has collected all his treasures, haha." This passage in Satya's notes is a little skewed, and it is clear that she is also smiling as she notes.

But in fact, if there really was such a fortune, how could the lord not send troops to exterminate those robbers and take them into their pockets? After all, it's only about three hours to hike.

Therefore, the clean-up of this robber's lair has a double benefit, and in addition to the bandits, there is also a rumor that "a great fortune has been obtained", Arthur thought as he looked at the rolling hills on the other side of the White River.

——13:30——

"Human! Aren't you? ”

As he walked along the river, Arthur encountered an old-looking orc, his hair had turned gray in many braids, but his muscles were bulging, his eyes were sharp, he was shirtless, he held a battle axe in each hand, and the corpses of three wild wolves lay on the ground nearby.

"Well, I'm human." Arthur looked at the wolf blood splattered on the orc's body and decided not to answer, 'What's your business?'

"Of course I know you're human!" The old orc's eyes squinted: "I ask you if you are the human who can give me glory!" ”

"'Glory'?" Arthur wasn't sure what the word meant, and spread his hands, "I don't think I brought that." ”

"Stupid human!" The old orc roared.

"Can you please explain?" Arthur was on guard for a moment and found that the old orc did not mean to act angrily, so he took his hand away from the handle of the two-handed sword and asked, In the multi-racial Nain, it is not uncommon to be called a stupid human, but it is relatively rare to be called so by an orc with a generally low IQ.

"Ufu asked, can you give Ufu a glorious death in a glorious battle, human." The old orc finished speaking word by word, and the two axes struck each other and let out a roar.

Oh, I see, Arthur finally remembered the identity of this old orc - a relatively rare "death warrior" in the orc clan, they have been fighting all their lives, and when they realize that they are about to age and cannot continue to fight, in order not to cause trouble to the clan and future generations, they will give up the clan name, look around for a strong opponent to challenge and hope to die at the hands of the other party, this kind of enemy who puts life and death aside is very tricky for the challenged, so those who are not confident in themselves will refuse such a challenge, those "dead fighters" Therefore, you have to fight enemies such as trolls, snow bears, and even mammoth giants who will not refuse to be challenged.

If a "Dead Fighter" defeats all of his chosen opponents before he finally loses his combat effectiveness, he will have plenty of reasons to return to his clan to retire, and his status in the clan is very different from that of other old orcs who are unwilling to fight to the death and retire directly.

There will be no retribution for the challenged to kill the "Dead Warrior", because it is they who will die if they do not kill ruthlessly, and these old orcs will still give their all in the battle, although they seek a "glorious death".

Arthur reckoned that he should have no problem defeating the old orc, but it always felt a bit of a waste to kill a warrior seeking glory on the road, and this dead warrior should not die at his own hands.

"Malacath told me to wait here, a human will bring a glorious death to the Uuff," the old orc saw Arthur silent, so he continued, "If you are not that person, don't continue to talk to me!" ”

Obviously you spoke to me first, Arthur was about to deny it and leave, but found that a large number of "breath of death" instantly enveloped the old orc, which means that after he refused to challenge, Malakas would kill the old orc in some way in order to maintain the correctness of his oracle, and maybe there would be a fatal scar from the slash of his own two-handed sword.

However, the demon god could not have imagined that he could see his arrangement through the breath of death.

"Tsk." Seeing this, Arthur was very dissatisfied with Malakas, this orc demon god let his dependents die at will, he had this power, but he was involved in the scope of his oracle without authorization, and he was sorry for himself if he didn't add a block to him.

"There may not be a glorious death, but I can give you a glorious battle," Arthur said to the old orc Ufer, "I have been ordered by my lord to go and destroy a group of robbers, and I can fully guarantee that this battle will be glorious." ”

"Hmm...... There are too many people in the robber's lair, and I can only fight three at the same time, so I haven't challenged it," Ufu thought for a moment: "It can also be regarded as glory to fight the enemy and die, I'll go with you." ”

——15:00——

Hawar Iron Hand, the bandit leader of the White River Overlook, has been depressed for the past two days.

He had received news that there was a caravan carrying a large amount of silver passing near Xueman, and he chose to transport goods at night for fear of being taxed by Lord Barguf, because the goods were valuable and the caravan guards were very strong, and many robbers along the way tried to rob but were repulsed.

Silver, unlike gold, can be minted into coins, and if there is no good silversmith to process it, it is just a very valuable looking ore, and it is difficult to sell, Havar originally did not plan to wade into this troubled water, but he could not stand the coveting of his robbers for this caravan that passed by the gate of their lair, and finally decided to do it.

The operation was very successful, and the supposedly powerful guards saw them and escorted the rest of the caravan to run away, but when the goods were inspected, the robbers found out that they were completely rumored to be pitted, and where was the silver on those wagons, it was clearly a sharp weapon!

Silver daggers, silver swords, silver battle axes, silver two-handed hammers, if it weren't for the softness of this thing, maybe there would be silver helmets, silver armor and silver shields, compared to those ordinary robbers who were excited about the capture of a large amount of silver, a few knowledgeable leaders only felt a chill all over their bodies.

The entire Skyrim Province and even the empire and even the continent of Tamarel will use this kind of weapon with special effects on werewolves, and there is only one organization, that is, the "Silver Hand", referred to as the Silver Hand, they focus on capturing and hunting werewolves, and sell wolf skins for profit, although their behavior sounds very similar to the "vigilant" who focus on hunting vampires, but the essence is completely different.

Vampires can already be called undead, and cannot be recovered, killing them is acceptable for most people, but werewolves are the product of disease, this disease is called "werewolf disease", except for uncontrolled transformation on the night of the full moon, most of the time it is in the form of a human, and it has not been changed like a vampire to think that he is no longer a member of the human race, most of the time, as long as he does not transform in public in the city, locks himself up on the night of the full moon, and is not reported by other residents, It is still possible to live as usual, so killing them will be considered murder.

Silverhand can somehow identify humans infected with werewolf disease, originally when they have not been declared illegal, in order to avoid being arrested by the guards, they will deliberately force the werewolf to transform and arrest it, but this behavior will cause the mad werewolf to cause eye damage to ordinary residents, and finally at a certain meeting of the Skyrim Province Lords' Council, the lords decided to jointly treat Silverhand as a criminal organization, and arrest them as soon as they are discovered.

At this time, the territories of Skyrim Province are busy preparing for civil war, and this organization seems to be preparing to take advantage of the situation, and these silver weapons are proof of this, the reason why they repelled those bandits and opened their nets, Hawar also guessed, that is, their headquarters is nearby, and they can come and retrieve these weapons at any time.

The other three leaders who were not afraid of the lord and the army at all, but were very afraid of the silver hand, fled with their men en masse, but before leaving, they secretly dismantled a batch of weapons and took them away, and Haval, who was obviously going to take the blame, angrily took other robbers who were unwilling to leave to fight with them, and now Xue Man is rumored everywhere that he has found a huge treasure and there is infighting - this "treasure" is taken by whoever loves it!

Now, Hawar Iron Hand is standing on the highest stone platform of the White River Overlook, he has already thought about it, as long as a large group of people come to kill him, he will immediately climb down the rock, after all, his lair is a natural cave, and the time for those silver-handed people to find it is enough for him to escape far away, although the wealth accumulated over the years is not much, but it is enough to buy a farm in a certain town and become a farmer, the location is best on the border, and it can be said that he has just come in from other provinces-

"Huh? Are you the leader of the White River Lookout? It doesn't look like you've made a fortune. ”

"He's the leader? Can it be killed? ”

"No, the Western Fortress is still quite short of people."

The Silver Hands have taken over the lair? How could it be so fast? Although Havar was a little puzzled as to why there were orcs in his hands, when he turned around, he saw the silver light reflected from the two-handed sword in the hands of the blond-haired Nord man, and he immediately raised his hands decisively:

"I surrender!"
