The Divine Hunter

"Golden Eyes, what's the purpose of doing this?" Frinn asked in surprise, "Did you trick Joe out to death?"

"Don't worry, he won't die, he has expressed his determination and love like a man, maybe he will be able to hold a beautiful woman, and Graymane and the War Mad family will realize the seriousness of the dragon disaster."

No one told him that he killed Thaumer and pretended to be the scene of the Dragon Calamity.

Roy rubbed his knees and looked towards the city gate. The members of the Graymane family poured in one after another, their faces intertwined with ease and complexity, "Let's go, it's time to reap the fruits."

...

Greymane Family Mansion.

The bright light of the fire revealed a few figures around the bonfire.

"Although it was a giant dragon who attacked Thalmo and rescued my child from the clutches, your news is genuine." Faria Graymane grabbed Thorad's hand and looked at the three of them gratefully.

"Graymane will do what it says. According to the agreement, for a period of one year starting today, the Sky Forge will supply weapons to the soldiers of Snowman City again."

Erunde stroked his chin and white beard, and made a solemn promise on his face. The sky furnace is a private property of the comrades-in-arms group, and basically only provides weapons for internal members, but as a blacksmith in charge of the furnace, he still has some face. Open is no problem.

"But there is a premise, and you must also inform the lords that the equipment forged in the sky furnace can only be used to deal with brutal dragons, not to point Nords, understand?"

"Um."

"Dear Mrs. Faria," Frien rubbed his palms, with a hint of hope on his simple and honest face, "What about our rewards, tailor-made weapons and armor?"

Faria's old face froze and was a little reluctant. In retrospect, these three Balgruuf lobbyists didn't seem to have played a role in the whole incident. Even without them, Joe Warmad would have Bring back your own Thorad.

"Tell me, what are the requirements?" Erunde patted his chest happily, "Except for high-quality equipment such as ebony and glass, I will try my best to satisfy you."

The three looked at each other and discussed in a low voice.

Afterwards, Freen chose a steel sword, while Avel asked for a pair of steel daggers.

Roy asked for a set of steel armor,

Because the cost is too high, he also made up for the material cost of 200 gold coins.

But he doesn't hurt. For adventurers, sophisticated weapons and sturdy armor are the difference between life and death!

Erunde carefully checked the dominant hand for the two of them, and measured Roy's body size again. "In a week, you will come back home to pick up the goods."

"Your Excellency Erunde, we have another unkind request." Avel said, "I heard that the members of the comrade-in-arms group are outstanding and superb in martial arts. If they can help Xueman to deal with the dragon disaster..."

Erend shook his head, "The comrades in arms are in an independent position in the city, and even Balgruuf's can't order them. And I'm just a blacksmith hired by the comrades in arms, and I can't do anything about it. You need to go to the mead east of the garden in person. Lobby, negotiate with them in good faith."

The three nodded,

"Then, I wish Thorad a speedy recovery!"

After the three bowed, they left Graymane's house, turned a few corners, and came to Zhan Kuang's house again. Offred's calm face was full of anger, and his mood was obviously worse than before.

But since Graymane agreed to support, he had no reason to refuse.

In fact, after witnessing the ruins of the Thommers being wiped out by dragons, Offred's thoughts have also changed. The dragon crisis is closer than expected. If his farm outside the city is attacked, the loss will definitely be more than death. A Thommer is much bigger.

Maybe these three boys are right, it's time to plan ahead.

So he promised to send a team of Zhan Kuang family to contact the soldiers led by Xueman tomorrow.

...

The matter of Graymane and the War Mad family was settled, and the three immediately returned to Longlin Fort to report the news to Balgruuf. The latter happily gave everyone a credit, and would reward them when the matter was completely resolved.

Roy turned around and found Farenga, spent 600 gold coins, and purchased a second summoning spell, Summoning Fire Spirit, as well as a destruction spell, Burning Hand, and a restoration spell healing.

But unfortunately, after absorbing three spell books, he found that he was only talented in the summoning system, and the spell runes of the destruction and restoration systems melted and disappeared like ice blocks sunk into the sea.

The summoning rune in his mind—a second string of numbers and simple characters appeared on the door that was burning with blue flames. Not the same as summoning a familiar.

Roy guessed that it was a certain coordinate in the annihilation field.

Summon Fire Spirit:

Consume 100 mana and 10 experience points to summon a fire elemental spirit from the Oblivion Domain to assist you in battle. Duration 5 minutes. As the summoning skill level increases, the duration increases and the mana consumption decreases.

...

The matter was over, the three of them went back to the imperial flag mare to rest for the night.

The next day was not yet clear, and Freen and Avel continued to practice swordsmanship.

Roy left Snowman City and tried the newly learned summoning technique.

The form of the fire spirit is completely different from the red and bright gas he imagined, or the strong and dangerous fire monster he has seen before, but a beautiful creature with a graceful female body, but wrapped in flames and brimstone.

The vitality of the fire spirit is similar to that of ordinary people, stepping on a fire cloud, floating around like a ghost before the ground, moving at a ridiculously slow speed.

She basically has no defensive power, is more crispy than most mages, and doesn't look too smart, so she can only obey some simple instructions.

Additionally, while she is immune to fire damage, she is more sensitive to frost.

She is undoubtedly at the bottom of the elemental creatures!

She only masters fireball as an active attack method, which is slightly less powerful than Roy's Igni Fury.

But there are also advantages. She can release a fireball every three or four seconds, with a distance of more than 30 meters, and her magic power seems to never run out, and she can keep firing fireballs until the summoning time runs out.

Fire Spirit is absolutely qualified as a long-range attacker, and is more practical than Cerberus in some occasions!

If the fire spirit and the crossbow-wielding phantom join forces to launch a double strike of magic and physics at the target, even the great witcher will have to retreat.

The Fire Spirit also has a passive ability, which is similar to the icy phantom summoned by Roy's "Roar" blessing. It will explode in place immediately after being destroyed, creating a large amount of flames, extremely restraining the melee target. .

At two extremes with Frost Illusion.

And when Roy released the spell, he accidentally discovered an important piece of information.

The soul stone he carries can actually help offset the experience consumption of summoning spells. The soul stored in the small soul stone is about 100 experience points, which is enough to use 20 summon pets, or 10 summon fire spirits.

And he has three small soul stones on his body. He estimates that he will use 20 rounds every day, and it will not be long before he can grind the summoning spell to level 2.

...

After the morning exercise, the three of them visited the comrade-in-arms group along the edge of the garden and the stone staircase to the right of the Talos statue, but they were entangled by two lovers who came together.

"Golden Eyes, Avel, Freen, help us!" Joe Zhankuang, with messy blond hair and anxious face, pleaded,

"You risked your life to save Thorad, but you still can't get the approval of the Greymane family? Isn't this a fair reunion now?" Freen glanced enviously at the arms of the two of them.

His longing for love had been disillusioned not long ago.

Joe said worriedly, "Offred gave me only one day today, and tomorrow he'll break up me and Ofina again. But you did me a favor earlier?"

Roy smiled in his heart, and the other party's memory was tampered with by the Axifa seal.

"Although I can't remember very well, my intuition tells me that it was you who gave me the courage to hijack Thormo's car!" Joe pleaded, "Help people to the end, come up with an idea!"

"Please!" The silver-haired Ofina pleaded with her hands on her chest. "I'll give you all my money and my most precious collection! Just be with Joe!"

"Let's not talk about the remuneration, since both of you have come this far, why not make more sacrifices?" Avel suggested with his arms crossed his chest, "As I said, you can elope, leave Xueman City, change the environment, and be somewhere else. A place to live happily ever after!"

Ofina's face paled when she heard the words, and she said nervously, "The family has been guarding the gate of the city. If you want to leave, you can't hide it from them. Not to mention me... I don't want to combine with Joe in a way that almost betrays the family."

"I wish to have the blessings of my relatives Erend, Faria, Avstein! Otherwise, this marriage will not be complete!"

"Beautiful lady, you have given us a big problem," Frinn said tangled, "It's not that you don't know the feud between the Warlord and the Greymane family... Unless the Stormcloak or the Empire are completely divided, otherwise The differences between the two families will never be resolved!"

"Actually, it's not impossible..." Roy's eyes swept across the dazed and miserable couple, and when he thought of their family, a familiar scene immediately popped into his mind, and a solution came to him, "but I have to ask , how much do you love each other?"

Joe and Ofina, fingers intertwined, stared at each other, and said almost in unison,

"If I can't be with him/her, I'd rather die!"

"That's good... The differences between your two families can only be dissolved by death." Roy showed a mysterious smile, "I just ask, are you willing to die for each other?"

"What's the meaning?"

"Are you willing to give up the honor of life and family? Just for love and each other."

...

"It's bad! Faria!" The eldest son of the Graymane family rushed into the bedroom with a face full of panic.

"Avustern, you are thirty years old, stop being frizzy like a child!" The woman beside the hospital bed gave her stout eldest son a fierce look and blew the steaming hot water in the bowl. Broth, handed to the pale-colored Solad on the hospital bed, "Your brother has to recover from his injuries and rest!"

"Sister has an accident!"

"What did you say?"

"Ofina is dead!" Avstern had tears in his eyes. "Her body is now lying in Akai's temple! Let's take one last look at her!"

"Bang!"

The porcelain bowl fell to the ground and broke into eight pieces. The sharp fragments cut through the skin of the woman's calf, and the hot soup splashed on her skirt, making a mess, but she turned a blind eye, her face was pale and bloodless, her lips Trembling, staggering forward, crying,

"My daughter, take me to see her!"

...

On the other side, the Zhan Kuang family.

Da-da-da, rapid footsteps sounded.

The tall, rough-faced Idolaf Zhan Kuang pushed open the door, strode into the mansion, and said to his family with a sad face,

"Offred, Berglett... something happened to Joe."

"What's the trouble with that little bastard?" Offred suddenly burst into flames and said through gritted teeth, "If he dares to make trouble again, let's see if I don't send him to Songard myself!"

"Shut up, Offred, it's you who scold him all the time for the problem!"

"Offred, you don't need to send him off, he has entered the Hall of Valor!" Idolaf recalled his younger brother's voice and smile again, the burly man couldn't help his nose sour and his eyes red, "He's gone!"

"what!"

...

These two days are extremely special days for the entire Snowman City.

First, the two largest families in the city last night, Zhan Kuang and the Graymane family rushed out with a large crowd in the dark, and the greatness of the battle shocked the city lord.

Today, the patriarchs of the two families, together with more than a dozen family members of their respective families, swarmed into the hall of the deceased in a mighty manner—located on the west side of the garden area below Longlin Fort, under a row of weathered wooden frames. The basement, managed by Akai's priests, is the first stop for all snowman people after their death. In the temple, the souls of the deceased will be introduced into reincarnation by Akai's believers and begin the next life.

...

The dim firelight in the temple illuminated several faces reddened with tears,

Loud sobbing echoed,

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuy Joe, why are you so incapable of thinking about it?!" Berglitt's rough palms caressed his son's pale and cold face, his face was serene and he didn't breathe, while his man was holding the other icy cold tiny hand.

Both of them wore a brand new wedding ring on their fingertips.

"Ofina, why are you so heartless!" Faria sobbed, tears streaming down her face, her thin and old body trembling like a bamboo pole blown by the wind, "It's hard to save your brother, but you're gone again!"

...

"Enough, people can't be resurrected from the dead! Crying is useless!" Offred glanced at his son's corpse, a trace of anger and deep sadness flashed across his bloodshot pupils, he didn't understand why his son once Make yourself miserable? With a sharp wave of his hand, "Idolaf, read it, didn't this bastard leave a suicide note?"

"Ofina left one too!" cried Avstein,

"Let's read together!" Erunde closed his cloudy and red eyes, his lips trembling involuntarily.

"My dearest family members, Joe/Ofina and I, grew up together, childhood sweethearts, we have privately agreed for life, we swore to each other, made promises, and he/she would not marry/marry. It wasn't the series of divisions caused by Ulfric's rebellion. Our children are probably five or six years old. But the tit-for-tat position is like an invisible mountain between us, dividing us in cold blood on both sides."

"Do you understand that feeling, when the person you love the most is close at hand, but you can't touch each other's fingers; when you go out, you can see his/her face when you look up, but we don't even dare to look at each other And laugh. Otherwise, your accusations and the comments of others will drown us like a tsunami."

"We can only become mice in the sewers, in the darkest and most remote corners, pitifully looking forward to your mercy, the moonlight that leaks down once a month."

"No, we are not even as good as mice! We live in pain every day. We can't get what we want, but we are entangled in our hearts. This is more depressing and uncomfortable than death."

"Before, alcohol/housework numbed my longing hearts, but yesterday, when our minds recovered from their numbness, it could no longer accept all false pretense."

"My heart, tell me clearly and clearly, if you separate, you'd rather die!"

"Ofina/Joe and I made a decision, we're together forever, we're married, and now, death can't separate us!"

"My family, we only have one last little wish left, please give us a blessing to the humble, and bless our union!"

"Then, bury us in a coffin!"

"We can't share a bed together in life, after death, let's sleep together!"

...

In the tomb, the dim light of the fire revealed a dozen sad and sad faces.

"Woo! Silly daughter! You don't want to believe your mother?" Faria cried, hugging Offina's body, "please ask me again, I will agree to your marriage with Joe!"

"Damn politics, this damn infighting!" Erunde's cheeks bulged high, and he punched the wall mercilessly, his skin cracked and blood gushing out of his fist, "What did it bring us? Hate, pain, and death!"

"It's pathetic," Erlund caressed the corners of his daughter's lips after she fell asleep, staring at the man across from him who used to be a brother-in-law but is now a stranger, "Offred, we two are really big idiots! What storm cloaks, Empire How are they beating, it's none of these two kids' business!"

"Think about it, suicide, Songard will close the door to them forever!"

"Isn't the Graymane family the most conservative, always talking about honor, tradition, and belief?" The patriarch of the War Mad family stared at his son's face and shook his head dizzily, "You are willing to let your daughter marry An imperial supporter?"

Everyone in the Graymane family was speechless.

"Why didn't they agree when they were alive? It's too late to say anything now, people are gone!"

"Everyone, fulfill them!" Idolaf looked around at the men, women and children present. "Even the devil will not separate two people who love each other! And we forced a pair of lovers to death, and the big mistake has been made!"

Idolaf turned around and looked around at the people around them. They were guilty and heartbroken, and their eyes avoided.

"Are we going to keep going wrong?"

"breathe…"

"breathe…"

There was a long and unbearable silence.

In the hall of the dead, only uncontrollable sobbing could be heard.

Two pairs of weathered eyes looked at each other.

Offred, Erlund, and their families, one by one, kissed the cheeks of the two "deceased" lovers and sent their blessings.

"My child, you have betrayed the honor of the family, you are a coward and deserter!" Offred's face no longer had the slightest arrogance and meanness on his face, his face was distorted by pity and heartache, "but you are also my son. Since the responsibility of the family is an unbearable burden for you, from now on, you will no longer belong to the war mad family... But in the next life, may you be married, love and harmonious with Orphina! I, bless you!"

"Woo, my daughter...Aka, Akai, Talos...the nine holy spirits will bless you, and may your love blossom and bear fruit in another land without peace."

"Joe... As long as you survive, it doesn't matter who you are with!"

"Ofina..."

A series of blessings were quietly mixed with two crisp whistles, three long and two short.

After everyone noticed the almost blasphemous sound, they lay side by side on the stone bed, but the lifeless lovers blinked their eyelids and shook their fingers like electric shock.

"Puff, puff!"

The heart began to beat, and it grew rapidly and became steady.

Pale cheeks flushed with healthy blood.

Like the magic of magic - resurrection of the dead!

Joe and Ofina sat up hand in hand, and everyone looked like a ghost, and they were scared to take a few steps back.

"The corpse is deceived! The undead are resurrected! Help, devil, devil!" A little boy from the Zhan Kuang family was so frightened that he cried out, hugging his mother's thigh.

Offred and Erunde, who were closest to them, widened their eyes and held their breath.

Dozens of pairs of eyes locked on the lovers.

Until the corners of their mouths and eyes were slightly curved, revealing lifelike smiles with tears in their laughter.

"We have received everyone's blessings, thank you!" Joe's eyes slowly swept across the crowd, his voice was as weak as if he had just recovered from a terminal illness, and he was weak, but with a smell of budding hope, "Me and Ophie Na has no regrets in this life!"

"Bless the Holy Spirit! You, you are not dead? What's going on?" The two grizzled mothers rushed forward anxiously to check on their children.

"The conscience was eaten by the dog! How dare you fake death to cheat the closest person?" Offred clenched his fists tightly, gnashing his teeth, but there was a smile of relief at the corner of his mouth.

Ofina smiled softly and explained, "Everything was arranged by Talos, he let us experience the meaning of love, family and family in death!"

"Now that we are back from the dead, please remember the blessings you gave in front of the gods, and don't tear us apart again!"

Erunde and Offred looked at each other,

Sigh, nod.

"Don't come down soon, as long as people are alive, everything is negotiable!"

...

"Haha..." The strange-colored pupils flashed away from the gap between the stone gates in the hall of the dead.
