Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Seed of Hope
The endless snow-capped mountains, the white patch, the heaven and the earth are completely connected, and this place seems to have been separated from the territory of the Sky Province.
A woman struggled to carry a man forward in the snow, and in such weather, there were faint sweat dripping on her pink cheeks, which was enough to see that they didn't know how long they had been wandering between this world and the world.
However, the man's condition seemed to be worse, there was no trace of blood on his lips, and his body was almost numb, and even basic walking was a little difficult.
Gradually, his consciousness began to blur, only occasionally waking up and then continuing to fall asleep.
Lin Xiu never expected that the other party would infiltrate the venom into the skill, since the last short fight, he knew that he had been hit, although he had reached the hinterland of the snow elf, his body was even worse.
Are you going to die here? Lin Xiu's psychology sometimes thinks like this, but every time she sees it, she has a cheerful smile on Elquite's face, and it seems that there is never any word like sadness on her body.
In this way, dragging Lin Xiu's body, Erquit no longer knows how long he has been walking in this snowfield, and occasionally some snow elves come to harass him, but fortunately, there is also Elquit, although her strength is not as good as Lin Xiu in her heyday, but it is more than enough to deal with some snow elves.
It's more like a dark place hidden deep underground, and the snow elves can't be exposed to sunlight, otherwise the curse of the heavens will be fulfilled, and they will disappear in an instant as a wisp of black smoke.
However, even during the day, it is dark and dark, which is the foundation of the snow elves' survival. Because they were expelled from the Holy Land, this is already their last place of survival, so any foreign creature, whether it is a human or an elf, or a vampire, they will kill or expel each other endlessly, and will never let them rob them of their last resting place.
Elquit is not very good at taking care of people. Lin Xiu's body has lost the maintenance of energy, sometimes it freezes like a piece of ice, and Erquit will not hesitate to put his hand into his clothes, and put his lips against her forehead to help him warm up.
Of course, her mouth will never stop, she has a strong hobby of speaking, Lin Xiu can't speak, she began to talk about the things that Lin Xiu told her before. Sometimes I laugh at myself.
Sometimes Elquette will try to make up some stories for him like Lin Xiu, but they are too unsatisfactory, and often after the last sentence, she herself doesn't know how to continue.
Lin Xiu can't stay awake all the time, and the occasional moment will make him sweat, but it can't bring him any warmth, if there is no Erquit along the way, I'm afraid he would have died in a foreign country. Although he often fell into a coma, he was deeply moved in his heart.
The snow elves have been missing for days. In the past two days, he has not come to harass them, which is a rare respite for Elquite.
But she soon realized that the situation was not as simple as she had imagined, and just three days later, a large number of snow elves surrounded the two of them in a dense manner, and there was not even a trace of open space in sight.
Erquit hid Lin Xiu's body in the cave and prepared to face it alone. But before leaving, Lin Xiu grabbed her hand and shook her head slowly.
How bad this situation is, although Lin Xiu often faints, he can also know a little. Obviously, today's situation is not so easy to get rid of, since this is the case, then it is better to die with Elquit can be regarded as an explanation.
Elquit supported Lin Xiu's body, and the two of them staggered out of the cave, and those snow elves were all facing them with swords.
The life of these snow elves is very miserable, they don't even have a decent weapon, and those bows and arrows are all scavenged everywhere, and it is likely that they don't know how many lives they have paid to get back such a few broken bows, but it seems that they are extremely cherished.
These days, there have also been some snow elf tribes, they and humans in addition to their appearance, white skin seeping, in fact, there is not much surprise, they will also get married and have children, but without human civilization, their creativity is really low, not even a decent pot.
In such weather, they still set up tents in the ice cave to live, and occasionally when they pass by, Lin Xiu will still have a sense of warmth, which is really not an ordinary irony.
The snow elves didn't understand human language, and they rattled and screamed words they couldn't understand.
"Hey, Tilling, what are they talking about?"
Elquit's curiosity would not be dampened by any venue or danger, and her intellectual curiosity could ignore all dangers, or rather, the word danger never seemed to come to her mind.
"Probably to study how we eat it, maybe steamed or raw."
Lin Xiu didn't want this companion to be depressed at the last moment, anyway, since fate had decided to come here, it was useless to think more, so he simply made a joke to make Elquit happy.
"Listen, Elquite, my road may end here, this is the path I chose, there is nothing to regret, you have an immortal body, as long as you can escape from here, then it will be fine, thank you for taking care of you all the time, it's just the road ahead, you have to go by yourself."
Lin Xiu said, and it was rare to take the initiative to reach out and help Erquit pat the snowflakes on his shoulder.
"No, actually...... I don't know why, I just don't want to leave you alone, maybe it's because I have your blood in my body, well, anyway, I don't want to leave you alone. ”
Elquit seemed to be dodging something, but his tone was unusually firm.
"Well, in that case, let's fight side by side,...... Until death. ”
Since persuasion was useless, Lin Xiu simply lowered his heart, and the Dawnbreaker in his hand came out in response, but even when he urged the Dawnbreaker, he felt the pain of the eight veins of the Strange Meridian as if they were broken.
Since it was decided to fight. Then it was a little more enjoyable to die, the dawnbreaker in his hand cracked the gravel with a faint light, and the golden light dazzled so that the snow elves in front of him began to flee in all directions, and couldn't help but start to retreat.
Could it be that the Daybreaker has such a miraculous effect?
It's a pity that Lin Xiu obviously misunderstood, although those snow elves were afraid of the Dawnbreaker, this was not the reason for them to retreat. Soon, out of them came an old snow elf with a large body.
His skin was already full of wrinkles, and Lin Xiu, who also knew something about snow elves, knew that this was a sign that his life was about to run out.
"Human, can you show me the sword in your hand?"
The old man of the snow elves stopped the restlessness of the snow elves, apparently he seemed to be one of the leaders of these snow elves, his words were very useful, just raised his hand, and the snow elves all laid down their weapons. is no longer so tense, but his expression is full of vigilance against Lin Xiu and the two.
What if you can hold this snow elf hostage? This snow elf was obviously a little different from the others, his eyes were not yet fully transformed, so he was able to see the Daybreaker.
When Lin Xiu was hesitating whether to agree, the old man of the snow elf sighed slightly, thinking that Lin Xiu didn't plan to hand him the weapon to observe, so he had to retreat.
"Then at least tell me the name of the sword. And where did you get it, I think you should know very well the current form. ”
This snow elf is not intended to threaten. This fact is impossible to escape.
"This sword is called the Fallen Dawnbreaker, and it has been following me since it appeared, and it is a gift from the demon god Meritia, and I have no need to lie to you."
Although he couldn't figure out the situation, Lin Xiu obviously saw that there might be another article in it, maybe it was an opportunity to live.
After he finished speaking. Seeing that the old snow elf trembled like a sieve sinus, the frightened Lin Xiu hurriedly mentioned the Dawnbreaker.
He didn't know if it was a sign that the other party was going to perform some kind of magic, and if the snow elf was still a magician, it would be terrible.
"Finally found you. Finally waiting for you, great Lord of Light, the hope of the Snow Elves, the prophecy of the Prophet. ”
The old man of the snow elves spoke incoherently, and after speaking, he ignored Erquit, who was still in a daze, and Lin Xiu, who was completely unaware of the situation, and turned around and began to yell at those snow elves.
What kind of King of Light, the prophet Lin Xiu knew that it should be C.C. pretending to be now, could it be that the woman had already expected that she would have this catastrophe?
That's amazing, isn't it?
Lin Xiu really couldn't accept this fact no matter what, but for now, seeing those snow elves kneeling on the ground respectfully, treating him like a king, he couldn't help but really accept this unbelievable fact.
The next contact was much simpler, with this prophet's prophesied robe, Lin Xiu simply became the savior that the snow elves had been looking forward to, and he was treated like a king.
Although the poison on his body is difficult to cure, the Snow Elf clan is precisely an expert in this aspect, and it doesn't take too long for Lin Xiu to recover as before.
But here's the problem, this snow elf elder is obviously full of absolute faith in the prophet's prophecy, and both life and death believe that Lin Xiu is some kind of king of light, a savior who can lead them back to land.
Lin Xiu is now riding a tiger, he is very afraid that after he refuses directly, these snow elves will angrily cut him alive, a liar, and can only agree to other nonsense in the name of Tai Chi.
It's just that the thought of the goblin hiding in the snowy city at home actually threw such a big problem to himself, and he felt really uncomfortable in his heart.
Lin Xiu's purpose for coming here was also directly stated, that is, for the Oriville Divine Bow that could shoot the Lord of Hakong.
The Snow Elf Clan, who had already enshrined Lin Xiu as a god, naturally would not refuse, and soon presented the Oriville Divine Bow respectfully under the instructions of the elder.
Lin Xiu really couldn't cry or laugh for a while, he never thought that the last step near the end of the plot would be so weird.
The only pity is that this Oriville Divine Bow only has two arrows, it is said that this divine bow can shoot down the sun if it is used by someone with divine power, and I don't know if it is true or not, if it is true, maybe the snow elves can really return to land.
Such a huge new force is definitely a force that any traveler wants to hold in his hands, but unfortunately, there are only two arrows, and there are also Hakong and Ryan to deal with, Lin Xiu naturally can't complete this seemingly mythical attempt first, and he doesn't know the skill of bows and arrows at all, if Xiao Fan is here, there may be some hope.
In short, Lin Xiu made a promise that he would lead the Snow Elves back to land, and as for the time, these simple Snow Elves didn't even ask him for anything.
Different from the embarrassment when he came in, he almost used eight sedan chairs to carry the two out of here, and the majesty was definitely no less than that of a supreme king in the sky.
At this time, two pieces of news sounded throughout the sky, and Lin Xiu knew that the final moment had come.
The first news is that on the day Lin Xiu stepped out of the hinterland of the snow elves, the supreme leader of the Storm Cloak, Ufrik, was assassinated and killed, and now the actual leader of the Storm Cloak and Wind Helmet City has become Adolf.
The second news, the Dragonborn branch is completed, and Garuda returns to Skyrim.
There are less than five days left before the deadline for the second phase of the mission.
Lin Xiu's injuries are almost healed, but unfortunately his writing wheel eyes have completely fallen asleep and can no longer be used.
Regardless, he knew that Garuda had returned safely with the two powerful backings of the Empire and the Stormcloak, and that if he didn't hurry up and complete the route of the Dawn Guard, a blow awaited him that he would never be able to get up from.
At this time, Garuda had just logged in Wind Helmet City wearing a demon god armor gifted by the demon god, and the black armor inlaid with red lines was not an ordinary product at first glance.
"Do you want to use the EX Power Bonus once? Heh, that's a good side quest reward. ”
Garuda stood outside the gate of Wind Helmet City, clenched his palms, and seemed to feel a powerful force, with the existence of this rewarding power, then there is no opponent in the sky, and what awaits is nothing more than the opening of the last stage.
After that, whether it was the Clown King or the other strongest Eight Jue, the second Jue was white-haired, even if they joined together, they couldn't be their opponents.
Everything was going according to plan, and at this time, the Dawn Guard began to attack Valhachi Castle in a frenzy.
It seems that the return of Garuda has represented a signal that all the tasks have reached the final stage, and the Armageddon seems to be about to begin.
At this time, Lin Xiu and Erquit stood on the top of the hill opposite Valhaqi Castle, looking into the distance, as if they were waiting for something. (To be continued......)
