The Journey of the Demon Hunter
Chapter 354
"Trouble?" Toldiv coughed. "Well, hire, of course you accept. The cost of employment is calculated according to the degree of danger and time. Although you have a good relationship with the chief mage, we still have to do business. Let's talk. Let’s talk about it. I’ll tell the other mages and apprentices in the academy about your requirements, and they’ll be happy to earn some extra research fees."
"My time is very tight." Zelin explained to Toldiv. "You know that the door will not open again for at least 30 days. If possible, I hope to hire a few wizards with enough mana to mine. I would like to help the place, probably means to arrange some magic traps, put some fireballs and chains of lightning, if it can be sold on the magic cloak scroll, it would be better. I'm willing to buy some with gold or gems. I need the help of a destruction wizard."
Finally, the demon hunter listened to Tordiv's nagging for a while. Young people are like being obsessed with destruction magic, but in fact the most helpful to this world are spells such as transformation and restoration. And so on. After going to Winterhold last time, he was no stranger to the old mage's nagging.
Fortunately, Zelin brought back the help of the Winterhold Mage that night. For most magic scrolls, such as magic cloaks and rune magic trap scrolls, the demon hunter also specifically requested that the magic scroll made by Zag be taken out to him separately. He wants to see this scroll explode in the enemy group, not on himself.
Anyway, the final result of the magic scroll made by the tiger apprentice was an explosion. As for what kind of magic it was, it didn't matter. There is also the Winterhold Mage. For things like performing employment tasks in another world, they think that the instructor should do it himself. Considering the cooperative relationship between the two, they only charge a scroll fee and a small employment fee.
The efficiency of the Wizards of Winterhold was not low. To be precise, only a few professors knew about this matter, and they resolved it internally. When the sun goes down, the starting team will be ready. The leader was naturally Professor Toldiv. The messenger bag around the old professor's waist was filled with clean paper. For the old mage, it seemed to be just another field study. Behind are Professor Faruda from the Destruction Department and Delavis from the Illusory Department. Professor Neroren. Each of them brought a small package, and Zelin had already told them that this time the commission was likely to encounter a situation that required fighting, but it didn't seem to be a problem for them. As for the question of how to teach students after the professor leaves, these professors don't seem to worry about it at all.
"Winterhold College is a place that provides an academic exchange platform and experimental site for the spellcasters of Skyrim. Students can find the books and laboratories they need. That's enough." Toldiv said to Zelin, "Don't forget , Our chief mage, became an extremely powerful magician in such an environment, which proves that the academy philosophy of Winterhold is correct and feasible."
"Why do I feel that this is just a special case..." Zelin shrugged, and didn't intend to say anything more in this regard. News from Nya.
"Miss Longyi passed by here some time ago to Reach." Destruction professor Faruda said to Zelin, "She said she was looking for the remains of the ancient dragon worship."
I don't know what Gnaiya is doing, but since she hasn't heard anything, she shouldn't be in trouble. The relic of worshiping the dragon is related to the dragon roar that she wants to study. It is estimated that she is still busy learning the way of roaring.
"Well, I have a letter here. When the messenger comes to Helgen, please send it to Gneia for help."
Although he didn't know where Gnaiya had gone, Zelin believed that if it were Skyrim's messenger, he would definitely be able to deliver the letter to those in need. Zelin didn't seem to know where this messenger could not go.
The Knights of the White Rose had never entered the Mahakam Mountains before, and their spies all fled back to the floating port because of Frid's hunt. They knew nothing about the road in the valley. Of course, there are no monster lairs near the road from the castle to the floating port, only the crypts that have been scoured by the dragonborn. The White Rose Knight is likely to move forward along the mountain road just like marching on a castle.
But the White Rose Knights will get the hospitality they deserve.
Chapter 643: Knights and Knights
The wizards passed through the portal, but there was no serious rejection like Amelia and Yusevka.
There are some spare rooms in the castle, especially the houses in the courtyard. Although there are more and more residents in Zelin’s castle, the food and drinking water are still enough for him to entertain these winter castles. The mage. These mages are fairly satisfied with the living environment. Although the rooms arranged for them have been unoccupied for a long time, the doll lady cleans these rooms clean and does not cause any discomfort to the people who have just moved in.
"We obey your orders."
Toldiv put his manuscript in the wooden cabinet in the room "Wait, let's take a break."
"Of course, time will not be so urgent."
"That's great. Well, if the young people in this world are the same as you and the chief mage, my old man can consider retirement." Toldiv held the manuscript. "Do you mind if I visit the castle? "
"Just please. It's just that it's not safe near the castle now, I still hope not to go too far"
Several professors of Winterhold College’s interest in another world seems to be no different than that of Virginia’s first time in Jet. Of course, what makes them most uncomfortable is that this world does not have the magical energy they need, but before Vigie Nia must have told them about this. Zelin saw that they had just found their room, so he put a bottle of magic potion and soul stone in his clothes pocket on the table and cupboard.
At this time, although it was night, the doll lady still took out the gardening weeding shovel from the basket, and it was overgrown with dewgoat grass with curved rhizomes and a blossoming sitanchez mushroom that would cause strong hallucinations. Amanita cover room, clean up the weeds in the castle plantation. By the way, holding a kettle, add water to the water basins with hornwort and tortoise pinnae, as well as the water tanks with buckthorn growing.
The doll’s clothes don’t seem to be suitable for a gardener, but when the doll walks in the herbal medicine field, the large Yanan dress lightly avoids the soil and the water-stained grass blades. With both hands swaying quickly in the depths of the branches and leaves, using the shovel fluently, the basket on the side was already full of weeds. She adjusts the supports and frames that support the plants, and loosens the soil with a small rake from time to time. Sometimes Zelin is curious, how many things did the dolls have in the past?
After the wizards returned to their rooms, Zelin walked to the edge of the planting field. When the doll heard his voice, she turned her head and looked at him through the giant, feather-like leaves of lacquer grass.
"Hot water?"
"I don't need to... wait, you're not watering it with hot water, are you?"
"No." The doll shook his head.
"That's good." Zelin sighed and rubbed his forehead. The feeling of going through the portal is not good at all. "Is Frid back?"
"No." The doll shook his head again. "The black people have not come back, but the white people have returned." She also held a small shovel and pointed to the barn, "She is waiting for you inside."
Hearing the words of the doll, Zelin was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of who the white person was in the doll's mouth. Hillis, she is the only one left.
When Zelin told the others to enter the barn, Siris was sitting on a pile of long crates, waiting for him with his sword on the side.
"You're back." Seeing Zelin, Siris stood up. "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Is there any problem?"
"This is making me more and more confused."
Although it was a spirit body, the female knight still showed a confused look on her face. Siris has been diligently patrolling the roads near the castle to prevent the White Rose Knights from unexpectedly attacking the castle, and looking for a place suitable for battle on the mountain road near the castle. "Is this a place outside the world?" Isn't it like a fiery Eleder?"
"Not necessarily, but it's difficult to explain." Zelin shrugged. "It's hard to say, but you should be able to discover something after a while." He looked up at the mountain road in the distance. "Anything to find today?"
"Yes." The female knight nodded. She raised her hand and pointed to the distant woods. "This afternoon, in that direction, someone was cutting down trees. Thirty... still sane living corpses? I don't understand."
There is no soul in her world. After all, people in this world are not born out of flames. It is normal that Xiris will be surprised by these soulless people.
"You can understand it this way." Zelin looked in the direction that Siris pointed out. "Just treat them as living corpses."
Felling trees?
The people of the White Rose Knights are using the forest outside the floating port to make siege equipment. The outer wall of this castle was only repaired by short craftsmen two years ago, and the metal hanging doors cannot be cut open with an axe alone. This is in line with a normal idea of attacking a castle. If they only make a ladder, they can do it in about two days. If they want to make a siege hammer, it will take another day. The terrain of Mahakam is not suitable for siege towers, but Zelin believes that they will not waste time making siege towers that require professional craftsmen.
Obviously, the Knights are making final preparations for the attack on the castle.
"Keep waiting, Hillis, I don't think we will wait too long."
"Please rest assured." The female knight stroked her chest and saluted "The Dark Moon Sword is fighting for you."
Siris thought that he could use the summoning charm to summon several knights of the Darkmoon Sword. Although most of the swords of the dark moon in the past died in the coup of Pope Sullivan, or died in the catastrophe when the flame was extinguished. But with Gwendelin, the Darkmoon Sword was rebuilt normally. Siris knew of the summoning charms of several newly established Darkmoon Oath Knights, but it was not known whether they would accept the summons. After all, they had more or less missions.
"We can wait until the enemy starts attacking and then try to summon. As you said, they all have missions."
Zelin wouldn’t mind having more helpers, but like Yanan, he didn’t want too much interaction before the flames revived. He didn’t like the curse of the undead at all, just as he didn’t want any ancient gods. The power penetrates into this world just as it does.
"You are right."
Hillis nodded, "I will continue to patrol and monitor the enemy."
The White Rose Knights are preparing, and Zelin will also be ready for him. He knew something about these knights. They believed in the protection that those anti-magical metals brought to them. These metals would affect the casting of an area. When attacking, the knights would definitely carry many anti-magical metals in the array for eternity. Fire logo to protect yourself from spell attacks. However, if there is a wizard of Winterhold, these magic from another world will not be affected by the anti-magical metal.
Not only that.
He must not be limited to defending this place.
Zelin took out the telescope that he had used to contact the lawyer Curdin. At this time, he needed a lawyer like Curdin.
Chapter 644: Post-Fighting
Below the valley, in the forest outside the floating harbor, many torches hanging around and braziers representing the eternal fire will illuminate the entire open space like daylight. A lot of felled wood was neatly stacked on the open space, and the soldiers of the Knights were cutting bundles of wood into shapes and making them into necessary tools.
"How much more? We have to speed up the progress. I am worried that the mutant monsters will escape to the mountains and join forces with the dwarves born in the dark." A knight who is monitoring the progress of making siege equipment said to his colleagues. "They It is very possible that the news has been obtained through the non-humans in the town. The assembled power of the Knights is not enough for us to wipe out all the freaks hiding in the mountains. We have to hurry up. The Knights of Thales just stayed in the town for one night. Everything was stolen by those bastards, and the eternal fire did not shine here for too long, so that the humans here have been corroded and deceived by mutants."
"Don't worry, knight, those dwarves have gone to fight with the men in black. Just let them fight. When they lose both sides, we can completely clean up this group of monsters." Another knight didn't seem to care about it. "Most of the power of the Knights has been assembled. I don't understand why so many people are gathered. It is completely unnecessary, but there are less than ten mutants. A whole team of knights is enough."
"Because we still have the responsibility to spread the light of the eternal fire to this dark place. After destroying the mutant's lair, we have to reorganize the town. Don't forget, the real monsters are mixed among humans. They must use flames to make them confess their crimes, and the light of the flames will help us pull these monsters out of good people."
