"The so-called forest rangers are usually experienced hunters and live deep in the forest that ordinary hunters generally cannot approach. Their main duties are to put out wildfires and hunt over-breeding predators, although I heard that some people in the south
The province still has the task of replanting saplings, but the logging industry in Skyrim Province has not yet developed to the extent that this needs to be done.”
Walking in the forest with visibility of only about ten meters felt inexplicably depressing, so Arthur began to explain the responsibilities of a forest ranger.
"...The rangers themselves cannot consume so much prey. Some bold game traders often find the ranger huts to buy prey from them and sell them various hunting equipment. They come and go, even if it is a certain person.
Some forest rangers who are not good at bargaining can also make money, plus the subsidies they receive from local lords, so many elderly hunters will choose to accept this relatively easy job - the only problem is that there is almost nothing
People can communicate.”
If you think about it carefully, it seems that your adoptive father was taken away by "Helsin", but the demon god has been eliminated by [Akatosh]. In other words, he is very likely to be in Sognard... No, if
With this weird Songgard now, it would be better for him not to be around.
"If we can't consume the prey, can we buy it?" Apparently Sophie only heard what she wanted to hear.
"I'm talking about ordinary rangers. If they still exist in this weird place, it's unclear whether they can get prey. Think about the animals that turned into gray?" Arthur explained, and then saw the girl's face
His eyebrows drooped directly.
Along the way, except for those animals that actively attacked and were killed, other "ash creatures" were only observed from a distance and never approached. Even if they launched a surprise attack and killed one or two, they would be turned into ashes in an instant.
"Woof woof! We're here!" The forest path turned around, revealing a stream flowing in front of it and a wooden house built along the stream.
"It's a bit too big." Lydia looked at the wooden house: "As far as the ranger's residence is concerned."
"Indeed." Arthur agreed.
The height of this wooden house is similar to that of Yuehuska Longhouse, and even the length is almost the same. However, the overall look of this wooden house is like a long house forced into a "C" shape. The current path crosses the small
The wooden bridge over the stream leads to its "entrance".
"There is a powerful magic reaction inside," Zella Pesh took out the staff: "Although I don't feel any hostility or threat, the scale is almost comparable to that of the Holy Spirit and the Demon God."
Babas tilted his head to look at her.
"...Although I haven't seen the Holy Spirit." She explained in a redundant manner.
Yes, I often see the devil. Arthur tried hard to keep a straight face so as not to laugh out loud.
"Anyway, anyhow, I'll go ahead and explore the way first." Sensing that the atmosphere was a bit subtle, Zella waved her hand to apply a layer of armor on herself, and then walked across the wooden bridge over the stream as if running away.
——22:09——
Leatherworking racks, workbench, a small field planted with alfalfa, a barn housing a ferocious ash cow, as well as a furnace burning with flames and a small blacksmith shop, form a self-sufficient small space in the middle open space of the C shape.
hospital.
The cow originally mooed twice when it saw Zella, but when Sophie came over and stared at it, it instantly hid in the corner of the barn and became motionless.
"Dad -" "Can't eat." Before Sophie could finish her words, Arthur immediately refused. Although he didn't know how the owner here tamed the ash creatures, he regarded them as ghouls and skeletons before fully understanding their origins.
You're right to wait for the undead.
"That path has only been walked recently, but it was immediately interrupted when it extended here," Lydia carefully observed the surrounding environment: "There are no traces of human activity in this wooden house and the courtyard."
"I also feel that it's a bit strange here...but..." Zella frowned slightly, with a strange expression that seemed to have forgotten something, but the "forgotten something" itself was also forgotten.
"Woof woof! Look what I found -" While everyone was carefully observing the environment, Babas, who had slipped directly into the longhouse, ran out with a long sword in his mouth. Fortunately, he had something in his mouth and could still speak fluently.
"It's the same reaction as the magic power I sensed, but..." Zera looked at the sword and once again showed a subtle expression of "it's obviously very familiar but I just can't remember it".
This is a red one-handed long sword with unknown material. The special thing is that its blade is in a weird spiral shape. According to Arthur's actual combat experience, this weapon can only be used for thrusting and spiral wounds.
It will be difficult to handle, and the power of chopping or slashing will be greatly reduced due to the shape of the spiral, which makes it easier to break.
"Do we have to recast it?" Arthur, who had learned a few forging skills from Erindil, looked at the furnace in the corner of the yard.
"...No." Emil appeared next to Babas and snatched the long sword from the dog's mouth - it was not an ordinary dog, so it was great that it didn't drool.
Her Royal Highness the Princess weighed the spiral sword and then inserted it into a small pile of ashes in the middle of the yard.
The flames burst into flames.
The small pile of ashes that seemed to be completely burned rekindled instantly after coming into contact with the spiral sword. An inexplicable magic wave spread to all directions, completely dispersing the fog that shrouded the wooden house, allowing everyone to clearly see what was happening here.
Original appearance.
If there is any difference, the cow in the barn has become an ordinary yak that can be seen everywhere in Skyrim Province. Although it is still quite ferocious, if Sophie wants to eat it now, Arthur will probably not
blocked.
In addition, after this weird bonfire was lit, a lady appeared out of thin air in the yard.
She is not tall and wears a wide black robe similar to that of a mage or priest. As if to cover something up, she also wears a long cloak and a thick shawl. The color is also pure black, and her long hair hanging down to her waist is slightly visible.
She is pale and golden in color, and wears a silver mask that completely covers the upper half of her face, not even her eyes are exposed. Judging from the exposed chin and lips, she must be a beauty.
"[The wandering soul who finally calmed down and realized that he was dead,]" she opened her hands to Arthur and others: "[Welcome to Sungard, the world after death, and I am your guide,
The God of Order 'Jyggalag'.]"
——22:57——
Pseudo-Songarde, Jeggrag's hut.
"Listen, Lord Jegrag, we are not dead, and we don't know how to absorb souls, nor can we see the Hall of Valor you mentioned. Please give us some guidance suitable for us 'living people'."
"[Ghost, please go to the Hall of Valor and see King Sgramer, otherwise, your soul will eventually be swallowed by this land.]"
"At least tell us how to get to the Hall of Valor. There is fog everywhere outside."
"[Please absorb the scattered souls to strengthen yourself, otherwise you will not be able to meet the king with your slender and fragile souls]"
"Whether you believe it or not, Grammer has a very good relationship with us, and he will never make things difficult for us."
"[In the process of collecting souls, you will definitely encounter the 'four objects', please be careful, otherwise you will become a part of them.]"
"Four what objects? Please give me more guidance."
"[Ghost, please go to the Hall of Valor——]"
Arthur retreated in defeat and walked to the barn and picked up Sophie who was staring at the yak.
During this period of time, although it is not that he has not come into contact with the Holy Spirit or the Demon God and similar existences, they are all glimpses. They each have something to be busy with. Even if they occasionally stay for a while for Arthur, it is just to complete the peace and reconciliation.
For some of his related work, the treatment of "always being watched by the devil or the Holy Spirit" was probably only given to Zella Pesh, who made him feel very kind.
The lady who appeared in front of everyone and called herself Jegrag was probably indeed the God of Order, and she could also communicate. However, the problem was that she did not seem to have the will of the Holy Spirit descending on her. When talking to her, the back and forth was always
In those few sentences, she would only say something else after occasionally mentioning keywords that she didn't know what they were.
It seems that [Jegrag] has created countless such images. As long as a so-called "ghost" successfully lights a "bonfire", it will appear in front of them. It is precisely because of this that the way of speaking is so stiff and routine.
That is to say, unless the will of the Holy Spirit is focused here, a group of ghosts who "talk confusingly and do not admit that they are dead" are not worthy of attention.
Although this incarnation of the Holy Spirit is not of much use, her appearance still brings a benefit: as long as you stay in this wooden house, you will not be attacked by animals hidden in the thick fog.
"Arthur, just find a room to stay in and leave Sophie to us." After walking into the C-shaped wooden house, Zella directly took the little girl from his hands.
"Do you need a rest? I feel quite energetic." Arthur looked at the sky in surprise, but he could only see the fog and scars in the sky.
[4E, 201, Frost Moon, 5th, 23:10] Zera typed a row of numbers in the air: "There seems to be no change between day and night here, but we must maintain a normal schedule. I forgot the reason, but just do it.
that is."
Zella seems to have become a little strange after entering "Songgard", and now she is openly saying that she has forgotten something... Could it be that as "Jegrag" said, she will gradually lose her memory here?
?No, she clearly said that only the dead and wandering spirits would do that.
"You have enough energy, don't run around," Zella said over her shoulder as she carried Sophie into a certain room: "It's okay to step on a magic trap, but it won't be fun if you get scratched a few times by a dagger."
No, there is definitely something wrong with this. Arthur stared at the closed door. She has always treated herself like an adult coaxing a child. This is understandable given the lifespan of an elf, but this is the first time she has made such a joke.
However, she can do that, but if she dares to cooperate... Arthur inexplicably feels that he will die miserably.
