The Divine Hunter

Boom!

Gold and Iron Strike!

The two figures collided in the sunlight.

An aggression like fire, the blade launched a continuous attack like a violent storm, slashing and stabbing, smashing the air quilt, whirring, the sword body reflected the golden sunlight, jumped in the air, and danced a dazzling trajectory.

The man who applied eyeshadow on the opposite side was as stable as a rock, with a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand. He could always block and unload the force just right, and then launch a thunderous counterattack towards the opponent's exposed weakness!

Roy quickly stepped back half a step with his right foot, then took a few steps, narrowly avoiding the blade poking at his chest.

He exhaled heavily.

The upper right of his hands were raised across his face, and the tip of the sword was like a horn, facing the sharp eye that emerged from the left side of the shield.

It was the first time that he had encountered such a difficult sword and shield player. His physical quality was comparable to his own, but his martial skills were far superior.

It's no wonder that Freen and Avel failed miserably.

Roy could only rely on his slightly superior acuity to keep circling around him, attacking his back, legs and feet. Other parts were covered with sturdy steel armor, and ordinary steel swords were less powerful.

However, the shield was an extension of Wilkas's arm. His defense was like a tortoise shell, watertight. For a whole minute, Roy's sword could not touch Wilkas' body.

As soon as he retreated, the tide-like offensive was interrupted. Wilkas immediately roared and charged with a shield. The roar shattered the air, making people terrified, as if an armored rhino was running wildly, and the ground trembled!

Wilkas rushed two meters in front of Roy, jumped up suddenly, and smashed his sword with the shield in his left hand, and the inertia of his body's falling was attached to it. The strong wind locked onto the witcher, and he had no way to retreat, otherwise he would retreat outside the circular arena.

"boom!"

The shield and the blade collided violently.

Roy couldn't completely remove the impact to the right, but the blade was pushed away, and the tiger's mouth was numb.

The rain of Wilkas' right hand hidden behind the shield stabbed in time, like a pocket battering ram poking at his chest!

As if to shove into his chest and penetrate him!

"boom!"

The witcher reluctantly raised his hands to the upper right, the middle of the sword body blocked the tip of the steel sword,

However, it was unable to block the shield on the other side.

He was thrown out of the field!

The surroundings became silent.

Freen looked in disbelief. The invincible Golden Eyes in his heart actually lost like this?

Do not.

He shook his head comfortingly.

This battle is too suffocating for Golden Eye, with a small field, forbidden magic and long-range means.

He could only use his worst swordsmanship to confront this warrior with a sword and shield.

What's more, he hadn't used Arondite behind him. For the sake of fairness, he only used an ordinary steel sword.

If you lose, you lose.

The witcher bowed his head calmly and conceded defeat, and handed the steel sword to Avel, who inserted it into the weapon rack.

"Brother Golden Eye is so young, but his physical fitness is so good..." Wilkas put down his sword and shield and fought three times in a row. Martial arts, I can see that your swordsmanship was developed in actual combat killings, you are simply decisive and have a solid foundation."

"It's a pity that it lacks a little change and heritage. If you face an enemy whose physical fitness is not weaker than you, and is good at defense, you will suffer a big loss."

Roy nodded, now that swordsmanship is his biggest shortcoming.

Of course, if you add the pile of enchantments on Arrondette, then it's another matter.

"It doesn't matter," Farkas swept over the witcher with admiration and solicited, "With your skills, courage, and complete qualifications to join the comrade-in-arms group, then there will naturally be experienced and skilled shield comrades. How about guiding you?"

"When we figure it out, we will naturally ask the Krakow Herald. What are the two of you thinking now? Assisting Xueman to snipe the giant dragon?" Freen asked.

The two brothers smiled and nodded,

"It's an honor to fight side by side with warriors! We will help you to ask other brothers and sisters in the comrade group for free to see if they are interested in participating in dragon hunting, and then we will communicate the total number and remuneration requirements to you!"

"Then there are two of Laos."

"Are you still interested in the next step?" Farkas, who was itchy, pulled out the sky melting furnace broadsword behind him, and a dazzling white light swam with the sloping blade, "Let's practice with me?"

"Um!"

...

"Aren't you afraid of revealing your identity when you fight a giant dragon?" Ella and Wilkas, who were watching the battle, whispered.

"You think Balgruuf doesn't know?" Wilkas shook his head indifferently, "He has been hiding it for us, and now we are going to risk helping him, and he will repay us."

...

In the evening, the warm yellow light falls to the horizon,

Three gasping men left the mead hall.

Avel and Frien stink of sweat, their fingers and calves tremble like spasms, and their eyes are blank, like eggplants battered by frost.

And Roy, because of his extraordinary physique, still couldn't hide the tiredness on his face.

Only the two brothers Wilkas were as tireless as the animals. After training for a day, they became more and more brave. Their eyes were red with excitement, and they were reluctant to let them go.

...

For the next two days, the three of them still visited the comrades-in-arms group, and they practiced each day by drinking alcohol.

In the repeated failures of Freen and Avel, their martial skills steadily climbed, which can be described as painful and happy.

And Roy seemed to have returned to the time when he first learned swordsmanship with Leto, and failed repeatedly, but he could feel that his swordsmanship was improving little by little under the pressure of the Farkas brothers.

In the past two days, they have roughly met the members of the comrade-in-arms group. There are only nine people sitting in the mead hall, which is much less than Roy expected, but it makes the lords in Longlin Fort quite afraid.

Roy has a guess that Lord Balgruuf's emphasis on the comrades in arms may stem from their hidden cards. According to the observation, five people in the comrades have hidden identities, except for the Wilkas brothers and Ella. There is also Skoyue, and the pioneer of the comrade-in-arms group, Krakow Whitemane... Krakow is taciturn, the three did not join the comrade-in-arms group, and he is not willing to speak more.

The rest of the members are just ordinary Nords with rich combat experience, and their attributes are within the normal range.

In the past two days, Roy cooperated with Avel to translate the book "About Oblivion" into the common northern language of the witcher world, and he also learned a little Nord language.

Roy probably saw that this was a wonderful journey of a summoning master on the plane of annihilation, which might be helpful for understanding summoning spells, but the content was too obscure, making people dizzy, so he could only slowly Eat a portion every day.

...

Two days later, the Wilkas brothers finally gave a reply. In addition to the two of them, another irascible man named Torva who used a one-handed sword and shield also agreed to join the dragon hunting team because of the generous reward.

Other members are either unwilling or have other arrangements.

Roy was a little regretful, he always thought that the long-range female hunter Ella was more suitable to participate in the battle.

But this ice beauty has the right idea. Unless the giant dragon attacks Xueman City, she will not take action.

At this point, Graymane, the Berserker Family, and a few members of the comrade-in-arms group have all been pulled into this dragon sniper battle by the witcher!

...

Longlin Fort Hall,

"I have also heard about the dragon attack on Somo. The dragon disaster is more and more imminent. Fortunately, there are three of them here, and we can draw a strong helping hand for us!"

"The preparations are almost all in place. It is better to take the initiative to defend passively. Once the soldiers outside find the trace of the dragon, Irileth will lead thirty city guards, ten warriors from the War Mad family, and five from the Greymane family. People, the three of the comrades-in-arms group went to their destination to destroy them." Balgruuf said aloud while sitting on the throne,

"After the crisis is over, I will reward the three for their meritorious deeds!"

"Why don't the three of you do some preparatory work now, such as weapon and equipment enchanting, alchemy potions, and Farenga can handle it! In order to thank the three for their contributions... your enchanting expenses," Balgruuf waved his hand, "I will do it all. to reimburse!"

Roy breathed a sigh of relief, and his recent efforts were finally not in vain.

Immediately, they found the court mage and acquired 2 small soul stones (100 experience points each), 1 medium soul stone (200 experience), and a large soul stone (500).

The total cost is over 1300 gold.

Half left.

And Frien also spent more than 100 gold to buy the burning hand of the destruction spell out of curiosity, and he suddenly understood the spell.

Obviously, Dragonborn is not a melee reckless man. He also has the talent of casting spells and has the potential to become a long-range artillery battery.

It's a pity that it is not tempered or even meditated. The meager magic energy can only support the burning hand for 20 seconds, and it will be consumed.

As for the free enchanting promised by the lord, it can only be started after the new equipment forged by Erunde is available.

It is worth mentioning that enchanting in this world is extremely difficult, requiring skilled mages to use arcane converters to create constant magic for items, which cannot be done without spell talent.

According to Roy's estimation, only if his summoning spells are at least level 3, he can try to attach the simplest summoning pet to his weapon.

And every enchantment, including the permanent enchantment of armor, requires a micro soul stone worth at least one hundred gold coins.

So to practice enchanting, you must first have money.

Roy and Frien's thousands of gold coins were naturally not enough, and they couldn't understand this complicated craft in a short time, so they simply handed everything over to Farenjia.

...

In the end, Avel bought ten bottles of Farenjia's potions, seven bottles of small life potions, three bottles of magic potions, and three potions of magic resistance that resist 10% fire damage after drinking.

After all, every dragon has the breath of flame, and if you have more resistance, you may be able to survive!

Regarding alchemy, the alchemy in Skyrim is very similar to the witcher world. It is based on herbs, plus a bunch of bizarre life materials, and even ashes, which are mixed, blended, and purified in a bunch of test tubes, measuring cups and other precision instruments. , filtering, etc.

The potions in Skyrim are more like an enhanced version of the witcher's world potions. Thanks to Skyrim's abundant alchemy materials with amazing effects, the potions here have a variety of strange effects-restores magic power, life, physical energy, and short-term effects. Increases magic resistance or a certain attribute of the body within a time, or even a combination of several effects.

Most of the potions in Skyrim are not like potions, which do not require magic to reconcile, and ordinary people can master this alchemy and drink the finished product.

And most of the negative effects of the drugs are within the acceptable range, and a few sleeps can almost recover.

Roy's alchemy has already reached level 3, which is equivalent to a skilled hand. The alchemy instruments in Skyrim Province are not lacking in the world of witchers.

Under the witness of Farenja, he was very familiar with it, but he successfully refined a small life potion in half a day, which made the mage extremely suspicious that this guy was originally a herbalist.

Roy's only shortcoming is the memory of the medicinal properties of medicinal materials, after all, he is a newcomer. But the dexterity of more than fifteen makes his fingers more flexible and stable than most pharmacists.

The material is always properly weighed and each step is carried out.

Appreciating Roy's ability, Farenga generously presented him with a rare copy of "The Herbalist's Guide to Skyrim Province" written by Agneta, which records the blood crown, death knell flower, crow hag's claws, moon moth wings, etc. Fifty common herbs, appearance, growth habit and medicinal properties.

Opened the door to Roy's road to an alchemist in another world.

...

The next few days were calm and regular.

Avel and Frien go to the mead hall all day long to learn martial arts with the Farkas brothers from the comrade-in-arms group. As for Roy, he does not think that his swordsmanship can make great progress in a short period of time. to hunt dragons.

According to his own rhythm, he leaves Xueman City alone in the morning and evening, hunting saber cats, wolves, saber-toothed tigers and other beasts on the vast plains, to gain experience, if he gets multiple nicknames in Xueman.

Then it must be a ferocious animal exterminator.

It's a pity that the fox and other small animals have too low experience points, and they are corrupted by their greed ability, so he will open the door.

During this period, he saw giants and mammoths wandering on the plain many times. Their bodies were four or five meters tall, comparable to the old spearhead.

However, the skin is pale, the limbs are slender, and the strength and agility are far less than that of the old spearhead. In terms of attributes and abilities, the combat power is less than half of the Cyclops.

The only tricky thing is that they usually travel in groups, with mammoths bred by giants hanging around at the same time.

The giant's humble but huge camp is filled with a few stumps of mammoth milk made into cheese.

Giants eat mammoth cheese, mammoths eat plants, but they are all vegetarian animals!

Once, he got within ten meters of the giant, but he was not attacked.

Roy is also not good at taking flat and docile intelligent creatures.

...

Hunting wild animals can get about 200 points of experience every day. During this period, he also picked the rich herbal resources in the Snowman territory according to the "Herbalist's Guide" and practiced summoning fire spirits.

Long-range turrets are very effective against flying enemies.

Most of the daily hunting experience was consumed by Roy on summoning spells.

In the afternoon, he returned to the enchanting room of Longlinbao, borrowed the alchemy platform of Farengar, and used the fresh herbs picked in the morning and the refined potions. He could basically refine two small life potions every day, as well as shoddy magic. Resistant Potion.

As for other medicines, he can only keep trying to find out by himself, otherwise he will have to spend a lot of money to buy them from Farenga!

It is worth mentioning that he has collected more than 30 kinds of common herbs in Xuemanling.

After taking it back, he plans to ask Druid Evelyn from the botanical garden to help with the transplant!

Different world plants, simply perfect!

...

Two weeks of a full life are fleeting.

Roy's alchemy has been raised to lv4, and the summoning spell has been raised to lv2. The runes in his mind representing summoning pets and summoning fire spirits are more clear and condensed.

The duration of the two summoned creatures has been directly doubled from 5 minutes to 10 minutes, and the mana and experience consumption has been reduced by one tenth, and the reserve experience value has reached 2400/12500.

There are more than twenty small life potions, ten fire resistance potions, and 100 crossbow arrows quenched with frost-biting spider venom in the package.

On the same day, Erende's forging of weapons and equipment for the Sky Forge was completed.

Freen got a Skyforge one-handed sword and a steel shield, and Avel got two Skyforge daggers.

And Roy got a steel armor, including breastplate, greaves, helmet, and arm guards... The armor produced by the sky furnace is tougher and more wear-resistant than conventional steel.

Except for the weight of more than forty pounds, which is unexpectedly heavy, everything else meets his requirements, and it is already the best armor he has found so far.

Since everything was prepared to deal with the dragon, Roy asked Farengar to add fire resistance to all his armor.

On the upper body of the armor, a faint coolness poured out from the armor and merged into Roy's body. It seemed that a wet hand caressed his skin, and the surrounding air seemed to drop a degree or two in an instant.

The armor provides a total of 40% fire resistance, and then drink another potion that provides fire resistance, and the total resistance will reach 50%.

He believed that the flame dragon breath was no longer instantly fatal to him. In any case, it will take a few seconds to burn him to coke!

And this time, enough flash to escape.

...

Freen's shield has a 10% fire resistance, and the one-handed sword absorbs life - each attack restores a small amount of life force and heals minor injuries.

Avel enchanted the two daggers to absorb life, and with his attack speed, he could definitely make the dragon eat a pot, provided he was careful not to be killed by the dragon's tail.

Roy had enough resistance, but the two companions were still fragile-in order to be safe, he paid Farenja to enchant the armors of Freen and Avil.

"Okay, three, I've used up all my soul stones. I'll wait at least a week for more goods!" The mage shook his head with a sigh.

"No need, Golden Eye!" Freen shook his head, "We don't need more enchantments!"

And Roy gritted his teeth and handed over five small ones out of the seven soul stones he had collected, plus one thousand gold coins.

Regardless of their opinions.

Added two more fire resistances to Freen's armor, and Avel three times.

The fire resistance of the two also reached 30%, and they each got five bottles of small life potions and three bottles of kang potions from Roy.

"Okay, guys," Freen hooked the shoulders of the two of them. During the recent hard training, his face became less childish and more resolute, showing a deep moving expression, "We should prepare Everything is done, and the rest can only depend on Talos' will, let us live a few more years, or go to Songard!"

"Lord Farenga," Avel turned to the court advisor, "Do other Snowman soldiers have enchanted equipment?"

The wizard shook his head,

"They only have the high-quality equipment provided by Erlund, and they only have courage and will. After all, the materials and money are far from enough to arm everyone. The three of you have been running around in succession, and you have made great contributions to Xueman, and the lord will pay for you."

Flynn lowered his head upon hearing this, feeling a little uncomfortable for no apparent reason.

...

At this moment, a petite figure wearing a delicate leather armor, a hood covering his head, dressed as an assassin, walked into the enchanting room, looking up, a pair of sharp eyes swept towards Farenga.

Roy glanced at a milf-like, charming face in the shadows.

...

What?

The proprietress of the Ximu Town Inn?

Roy was stunned. He stayed in Ximu Town for one night. At that time, he didn't even notice that there was such a strange woman. How could it be related to the dragon?

The legendary hermit master?

"Who are they?" Delphine's eyes swept across the three of them quickly, and stayed on the unusually handsome Roy for a while.

"These three are the guests of Longlinbao..." Farenjia smiled and explained to the three, "She is the partner I mentioned to you before, she has a deeper understanding of the dragon than me, and she is also She was the first to discover that Dragon Stone was in the Desolate Waterfall Temple."

"My name is Frona..." Delphine lied to the three of them without blinking, "Can you go out and leave the place to me and Farenga first, I have something important to discuss with him about the return of the dragon stone and the giant dragon. secret!"

The three looked at each other and were about to say something.

The indifferent dark elf female captain Irileth rushed in from the hall,

"Farenga, three warriors, you have to come, a dragon was found nearby!"

"Dragon?" The three looked at each other and saw the excitement and fear on each other's faces.

Roy took a deep breath, and the pupils of different colors flickered. Isn't all the preparation for this moment?

Delphine slipped away silently with her hood on.

And the court mage was excited like a forty-year-old man marrying for the first time.

"Where is it? What is it doing?"

"You'll know right away, but be more serious! The eyebrows are burning. If it wants to attack Xueman City, we may not be able to stop it!"

Balgruuf the stalwart is talking to a sentinel,

"It appeared in the sentry tower in the west of Xueman," the sentry said with a panicked face and a trembling voice, "faster than anything I've ever seen! Gray-black scales, each slap is the size of the palm, and the eyes are terrifyingly cold."

"This is the lowest level dragon, we have a chance!" Farenjia clapped his hands excitedly.

"But when I came to report, it was just hovering over the tower, and it hadn't launched an attack! I thought it would catch up and burn me to ashes!"

"Well done, brave boy, now we have taken over, you go back to the barracks to eat something and have a good rest!"

Balgruuf patted his shoulder and turned his eyes to several people,

"I've asked the soldiers, the warriors, the Graymane family, and the comrades to gather at the city gate!" Irileth stood upright and replied loudly, "Forty people in total."

Balgruuf nodded, his face became more solemn than ever,

"Three friends, this battle is unavoidable! We can only attack head-on! And you have escaped the dragon disaster in Holy Land Town, and you have more experience dealing with giant dragons than anyone else, so I want to ask you to help Xueman. Soldiers fight together!"

"When you return in triumph, Xueman will become your home!"
