Chapter 1146 Strange Disease (Ⅰ)

"Every year at the turn of spring and summer, we in Elk Town will pack up the leather accumulated last year and transport it to the 'Free Port' in the south for sale, exchanging supplies such as food, salt, and spirits."

"This year is no exception. I led the caravan on the road in early April, and the trip to the south went smoothly. After the delivery of the goods at the Freeport, the caravan returned the same way with the purchased bulk materials."

"The first part of the return journey was relatively smooth. Until the beginning of June, when the caravan entered the Tusk Mountain, they were frequently harassed by snow monsters and dire wolves, and many people were lost."

"One evening, we were driving in a snowy canyon, and a large group of monsters suddenly emerged from the hillsides on both sides, launching a crazy siege to our caravan."

Speaking of what happened back then, Elder Hunter's face flashed a shudder, and he still felt terrified after many days.

"Just when we were about to be unable to resist, a tall figure walked in the wind and snow, and knocked the ferocious snow monster into the air with a random punch. Thanks to his help, my fellow clansmen and I survived. The savior is Clark Heinier."

Elder Hunter cast a grateful glance at the sleeping frost giant on the hospital bed, and then told about his later experience.

"Mr. Hainier happened to be passing by the snow-capped mountains at the time. When he saw us being besieged by monsters, he saved us and said he was going to Niflheim."

"Although we don't know why he wants to go to the 'Country of Mist', which is located in the Arctic Circle and where monsters are rampant, but everyone's destination is in the north, so I invite him to go with us, so that we can take care of us during the journey."

"Mr. Hainier accepted our invitation and revealed to me that he is suffering from an unknown strange disease and often falls into a coma without warning. If you see him getting sick, don't be surprised."

"At first I didn't pay much attention to the strange illness he mentioned, but during the journey afterwards, Mr. Heinier often fainted for no reason, and we had to carry him to the truck to rest, usually for a day or two , he will wake up on his own, and it seems that there is nothing serious."

"During the journey, I also noticed a strange thing."

Elder Hunter lowered his voice, his expression became a little mysterious.

"During Mr. Hainier's drowsiness, we occasionally encountered monster harassment. Whenever this happened, Mr. Hainier always woke up suddenly, with a dull expression and dull eyes. He should not call his name, like It's sleepwalking, silently rushing at the monster, punching it hard."

"It's as strong as a mutated snow monster, and it's not Mr. Hainier's opponent. He knocks him down with three punches and two kicks every time. The rest of the monsters, seeing how brave he is, are scared and run away."

"When the crisis was lifted, something even more strange happened. Mr. Hainier seemed to have his soul suddenly taken away, and fell straight on the battlefield, falling into a coma again."

"This kind of situation happened no less than three times during the journey, which made me very worried." Elder Hunter sighed and said worriedly: "After returning to Elk Town, I will ask Mr. Heinier to stay longer. At that time, his condition had seriously deteriorated and he was not suitable for traveling alone, so he had to accept my request and recuperate in the town."

"Mr. Hainier came to Elk Town at the end of June, and for nearly half a month after that, he spent half of the time in a coma, sometimes for three or four days in a row, his body became weaker and his mind Unclear symptoms are getting worse."

"When Mr. Heinier is sober, he is always friendly to people. The young people and children in the town like him and respect him."

"Unfortunately, we tried our best but couldn't help Mr. Hainier cure the unknown strange sleeping disease. For more than half a month, we tried to feed him herbs, and also tried to "remove the disease" and "transplant In addition to the "curse" and other magical treatments, the results are all ineffective, and Mr. Hainier's condition still shows no signs of improvement."

"To this day, he probably felt that Elk Town was on the brink of destruction, so he woke up from his sleep, sleepwalking as usual, but fortunately he still could tell who was a friend and who was an enemy, but after killing the enemy, he cut open his stomach. Gouging out the heart... This is an unprecedented symptom, which shows that his condition has deteriorated to a very dangerous stage." Elder Hunter said anxiously.

"Elder, to hear what you said, we already know something about Mr. Hainier's situation, but there is one more question that I need to ask you to answer." Audrey observed Elder Hunter's expression and asked softly: "Winter Is the reason why the Fort sent troops to besiege Elk Town on a large scale, is it related to Mr. Hainier?"

The question she asked happened to be the same question shared by Joan, Captain Stone, Hylar and Holden. Everyone's eyes were on Elder Hunter's face, expecting him to give a positive answer.

Elder Hunter's tired face showed hesitation, and it took a long time before he opened his mouth to answer.

"Actually, I don't know what kind of grievances there is between Winterhold and Mr. Heinir, but four days ago, I did receive a magical letter from Winterhold. The sender was the adopted son of the lord Trim of Winterhold. Your Highness Vignier."

"The 'White Prince' of Winterhold asked me in the letter whether there is a frost giant with a silver collar in Elk Town. If the answer is yes, he asked me to send this frost giant to Winterhold. Give it to his father."

"I don't understand what Trim and the Vigniers have in mind for Mr. Highnier, and I've never seen a 'silver collar' on Mr. Highnier, but the wording of the letter from the Vigniers is different. It's hard to see that the frost giant he's looking for is Clark Heinir, and he probably has no good intentions."

"Of course I don't want to offend Winterhold, but Mr. Heinir is my savior after all, and I can't hand him over to the group of demon believers in Winterhold anyway. After some hard thinking, I finally wrote back to Vig Neil lied and told him that Mr. Heinel left Elk Town two days ago and went to the Temple of the River Styx in the Niflheim region."

"I don't need to say, you can guess that the 'White Prince' didn't believe my lies at all. The wording of the second letter was even harsher, and he also made a naked threat, claiming that if I refused to hand over Mr. Hainier, the entire Elk Town We shall be buried with him."

"To be honest, when I received the second letter, I was already a little shaken in my heart, and even regretted taking Mr. Hainier in, but..." Elder Hunter shook his head, with tears in his eyes, "Whether How, let me betray my savior, I really can't do it!"

"Now it seems that Vignir's threat will never just stay in words. The knights of Winterhold stationed outside the town are an obvious signal. More enemies will come to besiege the town in the future. This disaster is not over yet!"
