Chapter Eighty-Four: What Happened in Ravenstone Town
Except for the father and daughter, none of the villagers of Skar Village knew that Mora's avatar had visited their village last night.
And Zhang Lin and his entourage said goodbye to Skar while the weather was still sunny.
Ravenstone Town, under the influence of volcanic ash, the sun's rays are always as dark as dusk, and the whole town is filled with dust and mist, and the townspeople who have long been accustomed to it live the same life as before.
Standing at the gate south of Ravenstone, the captain of the Ruidoran Guard, dressed in heavy bone mold armor, walked in from outside the door carrying a two-handed axe stained with a layer of gray ash dust.
"Captain Verish!"
The two guards hurriedly hid the wine bottle behind them, and the two of them had not noticed the captain's return because they had been chatting too happily just now, and they were worried about whether the captain had seen the scene just now.
As the most responsible person in the Ridoran guard, Captain Verish could not tolerate the slightest sloppiness in everything from patrol to battle, and his guards were caught drinking heavily during their work, but in a place like Ravenstone Town, where the environment was unfun and difficult, the guards could not help it.
However, Captain Verish, who was contemplative, heard the greeting from his subordinates, and only nodded and entered the town, not paying attention to the small movements of these two guys.
"What's wrong with you, Captain? Have you been worried about it these days? One of the guards said to his companion on the other side, "You know, he used to make a surprise inspection every now and then, and I always had to find a new place to store my wine, but he was a little unaccustomed to it." ”
"I heard that the brothers who were sent to the farm outside the city two days ago were finally carried back, and the farm was almost demolished, all of them were done by the Ash Demon, and the good grain was ruined, and it is estimated that the price will increase again this month, and those profiteers in the sky will not let go of this opportunity." The Randoran guard took out the wine bottle hidden behind him, raised his head and took a sip, "It seems that the Ash Demon has appeared more frequently during this time, where did these monsters come from?" ”
"Alas, life is not easy, it is estimated that all of Tamriel, as far as our guard work in Ravenstone Town is the hardest and most tiring." The Ritoran guards sighed, their job was mainly to make sure that the ash demons that popped up from time to time did not approach the walls and attack the town, which was no easy task.
Captain Verish, who had long since walked away, didn't hear the conversation between the two men, and the increasing frequency of the Ash Demon attacks made him always feel that something big was going to happen recently.
In particular, he also found in the powder of the Ash Demon a copy of the credo of General Karius, who had been stationed in the Frostmoth Fortress two hundred years ago and should have died when the Red Mountain erupted, which made him wonder what was going on in that abandoned fortress.
"Oh my God, Ash Demon!"
Verish's musings were interrupted by a sudden exclamation from the upper right, which was the direction of the temple.
As Verish rushed up the steps, he saw Elder Ozraro and another temple priest rushing out of the temple, followed by a group of ash demons with red eyes.
One of the guards standing guard outside the temple hurriedly drew his weapon to stop it, but he couldn't stop such a group of monsters at all, and after a while, some of the Ash Demons ran into the street, and the dark red daggers in the hands of the remaining two Ash Demons also made it difficult for him to deal with them for a while.
The sudden change of events caused the residents of Ravenstone Town to fall into chaos, and one by one they seemed to hate their parents for missing two legs, and wanted to run back to the house as soon as possible.
A drunken man who came out of the vomiting gas mother, saw the scene on the street, suddenly woke up most of the wine, and turned around nimbly and got back into the store.
"Randoran Guard, guard the town!"
Captain Verish stood on a high ground and shouted to the guards in the street. When the guards in the town saw these monsters, they also quickly reacted, and quickly organized a front to eliminate these invaders in small groups of two.
The Ruidoran guards, who had fought with the Ash Demon for an unknown number of times, quickly took control of the situation, and the Ash Demons who were divided one by one were besieged by two guards, even if their bodies were hard and their strength exceeded that of ordinary people, they still couldn't avoid the fate of the heartstone under their chests being shattered by the cooperation of the two.
Soon, the ash demons that emerged from the temple were beaten back to ashes.
In the confusion, a black elf man dressed in sumptuous clothes took the envelope from a passing man and turned to leave.
"Elder Ozrero, what the hell is going on?" Captain Verish, who had smashed the last of the Ash Demon to pieces with an axe, grabbed the elder who was in charge of handling the Black Elf's funeral.
Looking at the ashes all over the ground, Elder Ozrero patted his chest with palpitations, and after sorting out his emotions, he replied, "These abominable monsters have defiled the remains of their ancestors. ”
The funeral custom of the black elves is cremation, so the ancestral tomb inside the temple has always been a place to place the ashes, but Ozraero was horrified to find a group of ash demons coming out of the ashes when he was performing his daily sacrifice today.
After confirming that there were no signs of the Ash Demon in the ancestral tomb again, Adel asked the elder to seal the ancestral tomb just in case.
"What should we do with the ashes of that people?" The elder with a sad face asked Adel.
"Let's store it somewhere else first."
Although he wanted to say that this was contrary to tradition, in the end, Elder Ozrero sighed and agreed to this decision.
On the street where stability had been restored, the little black elf girl who poked her head out of the house saw several figures at the gate of the city from a distance and ran out excitedly.
"Ouch!"
The little girl sat on the ground with her head in her hands, looking at the person she had hit with teary eyes.
"Little ghost, don't you have long eyes when you walk!"
The black elf man looked at the little girl in front of him angrily, and raised his right hand to fan it down, but the next moment his wrist was grabbed, as if he was shackled, unable to enter.
"It's not good to bully children." The young man's voice rang in the ears of the black elves.
"Outsiders, don't meddle with things!" The black elf glared at the human who suddenly appeared, "I'm ......"
"Father, what are you doing?" A female black elf with a sharp chin walked over.
"Uh, Miri, I just wanted to teach this guy who offended me a lesson." Seeing the comer, the black elf man seemed a little afraid.
"Alright, don't be embarrassed here, go home." The black elf woman said in a commanding tone.
When the black elf man who was let go by Zhang Lin heard this, he ran away without leaving any cruel words.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, I'm from the Severin family, Miri Severin," the black elf looked at Zhang Lin with a smile, "If there's anything you need, our family can still talk in Ravenstone." Then she lowered her head again, "Little sister, are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine, it's that I didn't see the road well." The little girl shook her head.
"That's good, please forgive me for having something to do, let's go first." The black elf woman bowed slightly to Zhang Lin, then strode towards the interior of the town, and soon disappeared.
"Big brother!" The little girl who got up from the ground threw herself on Zhang Lin's legs, but saw that the envelope that was clipped to her clothes slowly fell down.
"What is this?" Kashia, who had come up from behind, bent down and picked up the envelope.
