By this time it was already dark, so they had to spend the night in the Waltham Tower, and the next day they continued on their way. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Pass the Blackwater Crossroads and follow the mountain road that Annick told Daemon up the river.

The road was long and difficult, and after a whole day of climbing, I finally saw the smoke of Iwasted's cooking in the evening.

Dai Dameng was overjoyed, this day's mountain road had exhausted him and almost fell apart, and it seemed that he could sleep well in the inn tonight.

"Ah......h

Dai Dameng knew, it was the roar of the troll, and shouted, "Someone has been attacked by a troll!" "Quickly follow the sound and run over.

I saw a semicircular hole the size of a house at the bottom of the hillside, and a huge black shadow more than two meters high and two figures were fighting.

The huge black shadow held up two thick arms, one claw flew and raised the sledgehammer to smash the person, and the other claw grabbed the person on the ground.

The man on the ground was holding his axe horizontally, trying to block the troll's claws. The troll's arms are thicker than the thighs of an adult man, and this claw has the strength of a thousand catties, much more powerful than a bear's paw, how can the wooden handle of the big axe be able to stop it.

Dai Dameng was still at least twenty meters away from them, and he didn't have time to rush to the rescue.

Dai Dameng sighed in his heart, that man was dead! Sou! Sou! Sou! Three sharp weapons suddenly flew in his ears.

The troll's head jerked back and let out a roar of pain, followed by a shock to its body, falling backwards on its back, and struggling to the ground for a few moments before moving.

Delemon looked back and saw Selene riding with a longbow in hand.

He and the noble brother immediately followed, and Selene had already helped the two men up.

It was a man and a woman, dressed in light armor made of cotton and chains, and covered with blue robes, which were the costumes of the Stormcape soldiers.

The woman's figure is not tall or fat, but her thighs are very plump and attractive, this figure is very familiar, Dai Dameng takes a closer look, I know! She turned out to be the village chief's daughter-in-law, Rous. Look at the man again, and I also know, Jack, the son of the village chief.

Jack was badly injured and coughing up blood, and Selene took a bottle of red potion from her backpack and poured it down.

Dai Dameng also condensed an egg-sized holy light into his body. With the blessing of the Ancient Light, the Holy Light he had saved was finally able to use healing, but it was only the lowest level of healing.

But the effect was still there, Jack's face was a little ruddy, he didn't cough up blood anymore, and said weakly: "Thank you!" ”

Dai Dameng waved his hand and said, "Don't talk, save some effort!" Then he turned to Roth and asked, "Why did you become a soldier too?" ”

Routh rubbed his eyes and said: "The war is tight, the officers of Windhelm City have gone to the village to recruit soldiers, and all the young women have gone to the battlefield, and now there are only old people and children left in the village, if the army is recruited again, my father will also join the army." ”

The people in the village have no way to live normally, and the old village chief in his seventies is also going to join the army.

"And how did you get here?" Dai Dameng was a little puzzled and asked, "Wasn't Jack still stationed at Fort Amor a few days ago?" ”

"Recently, there was an attack near the river northwest of Rift Valley, and the Governor suspected that a wolf was responsible, and he thought that investigating the matter would deepen the relationship between Stormcloak and Rift City, and ordered Jack to send two men to investigate the matter. Jack thought the wolf was no big deal, so he had his men on standby at Fort Amor. Only brought me here, I wanted to take the opportunity to live in a world of two, but who knew that I had met a troll. Still scared, Routh patted his chest and said, "Thank God, if it weren't for you, Jack and I would probably have to be reunited in Songard." ”

"Don't be afraid!" Dai Dameng patted his chest and said, "Follow us, and you will be safe." "Looking back at the troll, it was already dead, and there was an arrow stuck in its third eye on its forehead, in its throat, and in its left chest, and it was pierced so deep that only the feathers and the shaft of the arrow were ten centimeters.

Dai Dameng and Brother Guiren looked at each other, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up, praising it: "What a powerful archery!" ”

Shooting three arrows in a row in a very short period of time, each arrow hit the vital point, Selene's archery skills are simply amazing!

"Sister!" Dai Dameng took Selene's arm and shook it vigorously, "Teach me!" Teach me! ”

"It's hard to chew too much." Selene said angrily: "Let's practice your blocking and swordsmanship first!" ”

Dai Dameng pouted unwillingly and said, "I have already practiced, and I can fight three of them." ”

"Four rookies fight and win with all their strength, what kind of ability is that?" Seileen glanced at him and said, "As soon as you make a move, it is full of flaws, and when you meet a real master, you will put the knife on your neck with one move." ”

Dai Dameng was not convinced, and asked the noble brother: "Am I really so dish?" ”

The noble brother shook his head and said seriously: "Don't listen to her, how can you put a knife on your neck with one move?" ”

Dai Dameng was very happy to hear this, "Just say, how can I be so dish?" ”

The noble brother said angrily: "You are so tall, they will at most point a knife at your chest." ”

This is too shocking, really, Dai Dameng doesn't want to deal with them.

Selene gave up her horse to Jack and Rous, and the five of them set off together, arriving at Evastead two hours later and entering the only inn.

Tomorrow they had to climb the Hosgar Peak, and after a brief dinner, they went back to their rooms early to rest.

At dawn the next day, the inn was lively, and Dai Dameng and his noble brother walked out of the door to see that three or five people were gathering at the long table for breakfast.

A young man with red hair said, "Hey, Bucknar, are you still reading the second inscription?" ”

A young man with a headscarf said, "Yes, I have been delaying this inscription for a long time, and it is still Kalita who is so powerful that she has already understood the fourth inscription." ”

A dark-skinned middle-aged woman with a headband said, "The meditation rune calms my mind. Pachanus, I haven't seen you climb the Seven Thousand Stairs in the past few days, which rune have you meditated on? ”

"Me?" The red-haired youth smiled and said, "I've found something more important than a rune. ”

"Hey!" Dai Dameng greeted them and asked, "What are you talking about?" What inscription? What are the 7,000 steps? ”

"We are pilgrims." The red-haired young man said proudly, "There are seven thousand steps on the mountain road from here to the peak of Khosga, and there are ten stone monuments scattered along the way. It is a sacred path where we make a pilgrimage on foot, meditating on the runes and contemplating the miraculous powers within. ”

Dai Dameng patted his chest and said, "Hey, we are also pilgrims, why don't we all join us!" ”

"You guys?" The middle-aged woman with the headband frowned and said, "It doesn't look like it." The most important thing in the pilgrimage is to be pious, to be down-to-earth, it took me 20 years to comprehend the four runes of the earth, you should first start from the first steps, the first stone tablet slowly comprehend. ”

The men didn't wait for Dai Dameng to mean it at all, and left after eating.

After eating, they said goodbye to Jack and Joth, and then Daemon, Selene, and Brother Guiren also set off towards the peak of Hosga.

To the north of Ivasteide, there is a stone bridge, which leads to the foot of the Hosga Peak.

In front of the stone bridge stood a man, his hair was extremely short, but his beard hung down to his chest, carrying a bulging hemp bag, looking at the Hosga Peak, his face full of anxiety.

Dai Dameng was kind-hearted, and stepped forward and asked, "Do you need help?" ”

The man asked, "Are you pilgrims?" ”

Dai Dameng nodded proudly.

The man was immediately happy, "My name is Collinmai." The man said, "I'm in charge of delivering food to Graybeard, and it's about to be winter, so I'm going to deliver one last supply to Graybeard before the snow covers the mountain." But now that my legs and feet are out of order, and it's hard to climb the seven thousand steps, can you help me carry my supplies up the mountain? ”

"Hey, you've got the right person." Dai Dameng patted his chest and said, "I'm about to go up the mountain to find Graybeard." ”

Collinmai was overjoyed, handed him the sack, and thanked him repeatedly.

The sack was heavy, and Dietemon asked Collinme, "What's in it?" ”

"Dried fish and cured meat are things that can be stored for a long time." Collinwheat said, "Greybeard is rare, you just have to put these things in the donation box at the entrance of the monastery." ”

Selene asked curiously, "Have you ever seen Graybeard?" ”

Collinmai shook his head and said, "No, they never let me go to the monastery. ”

Selene asked, "What good will you do to Greybeard by doing this?" ”

"Nope." "I think there's a tacit understanding between them, I mean, give them some food and take money, which doesn't seem good," Collinmai said. ”

"You're such a generous person." Selene smiled and asked, "So what do we need to pay attention to when we climb the Seven Thousand Steps?" ”

"Those runes." Collinmer said: "They do contain magical powers, and by reading through ten inscriptions, they can live peacefully with all the beasts in one day." This is my exclusive secret. ”

"I read from the top down every time, leaving the last piece unread." Colin Mai smirked and said, "That way, the next time I go up the mountain, I only need to read the first inscription at the foot of the mountain to avoid the attack of wild beasts all day." ”

Dai Dameng couldn't help but give him a thumbs up and praise him, "Uncle, you are amazing!" ”
