Chapter 28: The Vampire Incident (2)
When you step through the gates of the snow-covered city, you come to the plains.
It is so named because it is located at the lowest altitude of the three blocks of the city.
The Wind Zone, which is high in the second tier, is dotted with the homes of the locals, as well as the Temple of Ginareth, the Hall of the Dead in Akai, and the Moon Vaska, the garrison of the Brothers-in-Arms. The Cloud District is the highest point in Snow Man City, where stands the lord's noble residence, the Longxiao Palace......
Zhang Yi has now officially become Örente's personal disciple, although his occasional offense will inevitably result in two old punches on the head, but for this disciple, Örente really loves it.
His unbridled way of thinking and bold ability to innovate have surprised Örente more than once.
Many conceptual weapons that were not established were gradually taking shape in the hands of this disciple, like unlocking the door to mysterious knowledge, although he could not find this key yet, but he could already see the wheel corridor of the gate.
This is a subversive change, and it may not be possible to see anything yet, but it is foreseeable that as long as time passes, this disciple of his will definitely be known and worshipped by Skyrim, oh no, the entire Tamriel Continent.
Zhang Yi was completely silent in the world of forging, but Liu Yi had nothing to do, for Zhang Yi's decision, C.C. was happy to see, originally joined the comrade-in-arms group, this move of dark chess has been calculated by the witch, but the next Liu Yi, I don't know what to do.
For those forging knowledge, he is simply a duck listening to thunder, only dry staring. And he was only interested in mystical beliefs. I originally wanted to go to the Akai Altar in the Hall of the Dead. But a man beneath the Sky Forge catches his eye.
It should be a prayer person, but perhaps it would be better to describe it as a madman.
Moonwaskar is right next to the Sky Furnace, and opposite Moonwaskar is the Temple of Ginareth, and between the two iconic buildings, is a huge plaza with a stout tree covered with withered petals. This is the golden tree of Ginares.
On the other side of the golden tree stands a statue of a Nord man wearing armor and wielding a sword. A snake coiled at his feet, baring its vicious fangs and spitting out snake letters, confronting the tip of his sword.
Although his understanding of this world is far less than that of Zhang Yi and others, Liu Yi can still know what this statue means.
This is Talos, the god known as the ninth by the Nords.
Mighty Talos! Wise Talos! Unbeatable Talos! We thank you for your favor! ”
"We are lowly and can only struggle in the fallen mortal world! And you've come to a great realization after all the tribulations, and now you can walk in the divine realm! ”
"We, your lowly servants, thank you! Because only you can bring us light! ”
"You are worthy of our gratitude. For we are of the same spirit! You walked among us long before the eight spirits became the nine spirits. Your greatness does not come from divinity. It comes from the human spirit! ”
"You were once a human! Yes! As a human, you said: Let me show you, Talos? Storm Crown, born in the north, breath is the power of the winter man! ”
"I breathe with great reverence. I'm going to reshape this land as a master. This is my loyalty to you, Talos, because of my love for you! ”
"Ah, love! Even from his humanity, Talos cherishes us. Because he can see the future of Skyrim from us, from each of us! The future of the continent of Tamriel! ”
People who have just entered Xueman may be attracted by his behavior, just like yesterday, Liu Yi still clearly remembers that there were many onlookers.
There were women with baskets, beggars in ragged clothes, and children gathered around after their strange discussions.
And today, it is no longer the pomp and circumstance of yesterday, only this abusive believer is still talking to himself frantically, praying like a bell without stopping.
The crowd had long since dispersed, with a frenzied or depressed expression. Others came up to talk to the priests and tried to learn more
In any era, madmen are unreasonable, fanatical beliefs can make people lose their minds, and many people understand this simple truth, whether it is the earth or the planet Nairn.
There are exceptions to everything, such as Liu Yi, he is a person with firm beliefs, of course, this refers to the past, now he looks at the cynical fanatic believer with some envy, and there is some admiration in his eyes, he is full of yearning for these stories of the Holy Spirit.
After a little recollection of the words of the fanatical believer just now, he took out his little notebook and recorded all his things that he thought were crazy.
It seemed that he had noticed the monk's actions, and the fanatical believer walked towards him, but it was indeed admirable, and the average person would have been dizzy and dazzled for about ten minutes to yell like this, and this one even had the leisure to take a sip of water unhurriedly until this moment.
"What are you logging?"
The fanatical believer was full of curiosity about Liu Yi's actions, and at the same time faintly excited, after all, this was the only person who had been interested in his words for a few days.
"Oh, I'm sorry that my actions were not approved of by you, if you don't mind, I'd love to put these on record, in my opinion, these are all valuable treasures."
Liu Yi was originally a polite person, not to mention a person with the nature of a Buddhist disciple, and his actions immediately aroused the favor of this fanatical believer.
"I don't mind, I didn't expect you to be the only one who is interested in these words, those Nords and Brightons, it seems that they have long forgotten who brought them the peace they have today, but instead I became a madman and was ridiculed, look, this is a ridiculous world, I'm glad you didn't treat me as a madman."
The believer seemed to be interested, took Liu Yi's wrist and walked to the seat next to the statue of Talos and began to talk, with a hint of loneliness and sadness in his words.
"No, I think you're a man of strong faith. Everyone who has faith is worthy of the respect of others. “
Liu Yi's words were sincere and frank. For a moment, the fanatical believer's eyes flashed. It's a pity that the speed of dimming was too fast, and Liu Yi didn't catch it clearly.
"You seem to be interested in the myth of Talos?"
The fanatical believer asked.
"Yes, if you don't mind, I'd like you to tell me a little bit more about this, I'm really fascinated by these relic myths."
Liu Yi's abusive sincerity deeply touched this believer, and the two were like long-lost friends, and the conversation lasted from morning to evening.
When this old believer asked about Liu Yi's beliefs, the monk also explained his Buddhist scriptures to the other party without concealment. The exchange of knowledge laid a very good foundation for the conversation between the two.
Folcles Wilderness Forest.
The sky has darkened, and it is rare that today's Faulcles moon is bright and starry, and there is not half a dark cloud, and it is really a rare good weather to set off on an expedition on such a day, otherwise the mud along the way can torture people to have a mental breakdown.
Twenty tall horses, these adventurers were ready to go, led by one of Lord Phocles's personal guards.
Of course, his responsibility is only to lead the way, as for hunting down vampires. The mysterious creature guard really didn't feel like he could deal with it, and he did swear allegiance to his lord. But that's only for fighting humans or monsters.
Bloodsucker? The term never came to his mind.
The position of a baron is indeed attractive, but it must always be famous to enjoy it, just like those stupid reckless men who actually went to Xueman to prepare to slay the dragon.
Oh, slaying dragons, if it were really that easy, I believe that the tavern would already be full of all kinds of dragon-related food, such as dragon bones, dragon tendons, etc., and maybe a huge dragon egg, but it all sounds like a joke.
Sooner or later, those people will pay for their actions, just like the group of people behind them.
The guard's face was solemn and solemn, and the murderous aura was permeated, but the psychology had already found a place for these people to bury the tombstones.
It seems that Faucles will add more than 20 new graves tomorrow, and the price of the cemetery will rise sooner or later, so do you want to reserve a place for yourself in advance?
His mind was already drifting and he didn't know where it went.
"Listen, fellow travelers, everyone knows the cruelty of this game, it's not a big task, but I know that we all want points, and it's a fool to say that we don't want it."
As soon as the lord's guards were gone, the man at the front of the horse began to explain, and beside him stood five or six people, apparently the largest number of people in their ranks.
The man's face was rough, but he had some elven features, for example, his ears were slightly longer than the average person, but his body was too burly, and the horse under his crotch was a little unbearable and panting, and occasionally had to snort.
This was supposed to be of Brighton blood from High Rock, and he tugged at the horse's stiffness, using this way to calm the red horse.
"Although we are not a big team, I would like to say that we do not do those dirty acts of killing our comrades, since we have all come to such a game world, survival of the fittest is inevitable, but I want to win in a fair way."
"Well, that's a good point."
"This man is really righteous enough."
Some people are whispering softly, some people are applauding loudly, after all, in such a cruel game, it is not uncommon to eliminate other travelers, and even to say that the rules of the game set by the apostles should be like this, but the ways of elimination are naturally divided into many kinds, and what this person said is undoubtedly the fairest one.
Is it fair? Lin Xiu's eyes narrowed without a trace, and then he returned to his natural face, this sanctimonious orator had already been seen through by him, just now, when he took out his map, that person was looking at the eyes behind him, he knew it clearly.
If nothing else, I think they should pull themselves to join their team, and then find a high-sounding protection name, find a place where no one is silently do themselves, and the money and maps will all belong to them, such a trick is really naïve, after all, Lin Xiu is now a person who has seen the wind and waves.
"There were five of us in a team, and there were exactly twenty travelers here. Let's take a look. There are only four exits to this forest. We are divided into four teams and enter from here, so this vampire will naturally have nothing to hide, as for who will complete the task, it will naturally depend on luck at that time, of course, strength is also part of it, if anyone is unfortunate enough to become the food of the vampire, then it is no wonder that others. “
The man was humorous. Someone laughed at him.
"Don't worry, if I become that unlucky ghost, even if I am drained of blood, I will definitely poison that vampire, hahaha."
Someone flattered him, which immediately attracted some louder laughter, and the Brighton man in front of him pressed his hand and motioned for everyone to shut down.
"Let's talk about the ugly things in the front, if anyone sees the wealth at that time. If you want to pay attention to predation, don't blame my brother for not being merciful at that time. “
"Good. Just do as you say. “
"Yes, that's the fairest way to do it."
Many people have expressed their approval, after a little discussion, there are three or three two teams together, on the spot merger, although on the surface everyone agreed, but this point wants to fool everyone, that is tantamount to a fool's dream.
"Hey, you, yes, it's you, don't look around, see that you came by yourself, heh, luck is good, I guess the rest of your team is finished, I think you are quite a match, come and join us, it can be regarded as taking care of you."
The Brighton man pointed at Lin Xiu and called loudly, Lin Xiu pretended to be stupid and looked left and right only to find that there was no one around him, so he tapped his finger on the tip of his nose.
His actions immediately caused several teammates around the Brightons to laugh, such a traveler, I really don't know what kind of shit luck he had, and he actually had a lot of gold coins and maps.
I guess I picked it up from my teammates who died.,Hey.,This kind of person.,It's a waste of air to live.。
With their own thoughts, Lin Xiu clumsily clamped his legs and urged the horse to keep up with the people in front, but the horse obviously didn't listen to him very much, and walked squirming, quite reluctantly.
Perhaps it is an insult to have such an incompetent person riding on his back, even the horse.
All the way forward, Lin Xiu was caught in the middle by several people, and probably asked some information about him, so naturally it was impossible to say the truth, and once again covered up the past with Tilling's name.
The Brighton man patted Lin Xiu's shoulder in a friendly manner, his eyes met his companion, and the dagger had been taken out of his arms.
"I said Tilling, your map is really good, you see that your team is left with you, why don't you follow us in the future, let's form a team, we don't dare to think about it, but how can we survive this game."
The man said, thinking that Lin Xiu would definitely nod his head in agreement, but he didn't think about it, but Lin Xiu decisively shook his head and refused.
"What? Do you think you can survive this game alone? “
The Brightons were clearly amused by Lin Xiu's actions.
"I just can't trust you, you see, his dagger is in his hand, and if I team up with you, then I can still sleep peacefully."
Lin Xiu jokingly broke the other party's scheming, and this cold moment suddenly made several people a little frightened.
There was no need to say hello, the dagger had already stabbed him in the ribs from below, and such a short distance was sure that one blow would be hit.
Since it has been broken, there is no need to continue, and the other person behind him has already slashed at Lin Xiu's neck from behind.
There was a quick knife above, a dagger below, and the attacks from both directions had locked Lin Xiu's vital point, while the Brighton man on the other side was also ready to attack, and the long sword on his waist had been drawn.
Three one-hit killable attacks, Lin Xiu put one hand on the horse's back, his body shot out horizontally, his feet kicked on the shoulders of the Brighton man, and he grabbed the wrist of the person who stabbed the dagger with his strength, and flew out directly with his body.
Through the hazy moonlight, in mid-air, only the man named Tilling was seen snatching the dagger with his backhand in the air, and flipped it violently in the air.
With one foot on the back of the fellow Brighton, the dagger plunged directly into the back of his heart.
A series of movements are all completed in mid-air, flowing in one go, which is obviously only practiced after countless life and death games.
Encountered stubble.
This was the first thought of the Brighton, his body quickly got up from the ground, and the fire elemental began to gather in his hand, he was a magician, but unfortunately his strength was too low, and on the way to Wintercastle, he had been driven out by the necromancer ranked in the eighth consciousness.
"Teng"
A flame shot towards Lin Xiu's figure, but under the darkness, the black-clothed man was more like a dexterous wild cat, and at the moment when the flames were about to touch, he had already turned around and turned towards his other companion.
Straight punches, hook legs, roll over, hang upside down.
It's like a juggling fast body technique, and it was robbed of life in an instant without even having the power to fight back.
The Brighton man roared, as if to vent his anger and fear, but to no avail, the black figure, like a silhouette drawn from a movie clip, glided straight across the ground, skimming the leaves of the trees.
The next moment, another of his companions was also beheaded by a steel knife.
"Wait, wait, spare my life, don't you have no teammates, you can use me as cannon fodder, you can definitely win this game with your skills, in the future, how about I give you a breeder in the future?"
The Brighton man has already seen that the opponent dares to go on the road alone is not a teammate who has encountered an accident at all, but the strength of this person, and his teammates will completely become a burden to him.
He is a mage himself, and the long sword at his waist is only used to confuse his opponent, and when a mage is approached, it is naturally clear what he will face next.
"I've seen wolves that don't eat meat."
Lin Xiu walked towards him and said something inconsequential, which was chewed by this person in his mouth, and before he could figure out what it meant, the steel knife had already cut off his neck.
"But I haven't heard of a dog that doesn't smell."
Facing the headless corpse, Lin Xiu softly finished this sentence, counting it as his final funeral. (To be continued......)
PS: Thank you Brother Long for swiping the ticket, and I am willing to reward the ideal township in the next life.
Some people say I can write millions, and uh, I feel so stressed.
