In Wu Chen's memory, the old and almost invisible stone steps stuck in the mountain were all replaced by smooth and gentle stone paths. There is a reassuring calmness in the constant clatter of horse hooves.
Speaking of which, the Hanluo Mountain Peak is actually the remnant of the Hanluo Mountain Range. From west to east, the Hanluo Mountains extending through the Rechi Territory suddenly sank at the western edge of Ilinata Lake. From a distance, the ridge seemed to "disappear". After crossing the east edge of Ilinata Lake, it rises sharply, forming the towering Hanluo Mountain on the north bank of the White River Valley Road. Although it seems that the entire Hanluo Mountain Range breaks off at Lake Irinata, the mountains hidden beneath the plateau have never been interrupted. Therefore, Hanluo Mountain Range and Hanluo Mountain Peak are still one mountain range. However, the middle section failed to rise above the ground and was hidden under the high ground of Lake Irinata. Or it can also be thought that the middle mountain range was "submerged" by Lake Irinata and became a natural dam surrounding the north shore, so it was not exposed.
The Hanluo Mountain Peak, which was previously visited only by hunters and bandits, has now become an important regional support for the Ximu Territory. After the tower collapsed, Ms. Freya of the Heron Feather, the dean of the Ring Mage Academy, the destined guardian of the hearthstone, the holder of the Ring of Life, and the twin of destiny, built Hanluo Mountain into a new tower and supported it. The entire Ximu collar was raised. There are indications that the collapse of the tower seems to be a "dragon break event" that affects the entire province of Skyrim.
Therefore, Wu Chen must go to the Ring Mage Academy in person to meet Ms. Freya, who is always guarding the Hanluo Tower.
Of course, apart from the Dragon Break incident in Skyrim, there is another destined guardian of the hearthstone, the holder of the Ring of Time, the twin of destiny, Frigga of the Heron's Feather, who is even more important in Wu Chen's heart. , as well as the whereabouts of Queen Bestela and the wise giant Mimir, who gave the two rings. This is the key to Wu Chen's return to the Broken City.
"Master, look." Follow the housekeeper's fingers and look up at the ancient stone door. A towering ancient tower stands on the edge of a protruding cliff on the mountainside.
This is the Hanluo sentry tower that Wu Chen had seen on postcards. Or call it Hanluo Outpost. In terms of structure and scale, it is roughly the same as the Northern Feitian Outpost. It is an important stronghold for guarding Ximucheng at the foot of the mountain.
Because it was peacetime (no more dragon attacks?), the alarm beacon was not lit. It is said that the dragon-hunting ballista, which is placed on the high tower and is modified from the Dwemer steam crossbow, can kill the attacking dragon with one blow with the blessing of the magic ring. The tower guards are surprisingly all Sphere Centurions, one of the Dwemer mechanical puppets. These have been proven by the personal experience of countless adventurers who have penetrated deep into the underground ruins of Dwemer to be agile and powerful warriors. Under normal circumstances, they will maintain a round, bright spherical shape and patrol the entire outpost. Once it encounters an enemy, it will stand upright and transform into a hemispherical humanoid robot puppet, wielding a sword, shield or crossbow to attack.
Moreover, the structure and shape of the spherical centurion that is common in Dwemer ruins is completely different. The brass that makes up the spherical mechanical body also has a magic ring amplification.
For a moment, Wu Chen thought of the Deidka machine mercenary with its own deflector shield, also known as the Destroyer robot in Star Wars.
Just as he thought. All the female brass puppets in front of me are equipped with "two-stage eternal demon shield", enchantment and rune damage bonus.
"It's all the effort of Spirit Dragon Knight Ashtaret." The housekeeper smiled.
"There must be special configurations in the outpost." Wu Chen pointed to the tower.
"As you can see, Master." As the "head of the promise" of the fourth Crimson Dragon Break, the spiritual core of the Spirit Dragon Knight Ashtaret has been completely integrated into Wu Chen's Omega Capricorn: "Inside the tower is The core forge of the Dwemer Steam Tower. There is also a divine light crystal forge capable of repairing spherical centurions, as well as two master-level steam centurions."
"So, the tower is the real death trap with no return." Wu Chen smiled happily.
"Yes, Master." It should be said that Ashtaret, the Dragon Knight, has not yet fully awakened from the Crimson Night, both in body and soul. The body, brought to the peak of pleasure by the ultimate trembling from the soul, has an indescribable lag that is separated from the overlapping of time and space. It's like a hazy spring dream superimposed on reality, emerging from time to time and endlessly memorable (please read this paragraph carefully).
The personal plot line that has been completely revised and can even be reset is deeply tied to Wu Chen's 0326 exclusive branch plot line. There is no possibility of alienation and degeneration (men other than you are completely degenerated, is that true, sir?). This is also determined by the high-dimensional rules of the shelter. The personal and exclusive plot lines of plot characters were originally only subject to the main plot line. Once bound to the shelter player, they will jump out of the plot world and will no longer be limited by the main plot line. Even if she is still in the plot world where she was born, she is no longer limited by the plot.
It's like: "If you jump out of the Three Realms, you are not in the Five Elements." The original binding force has all disappeared. Renewed from the inside out.
After passing the Hanluo Post, a towering city towering on the top of the mountain immediately came into view.
It is exactly what the Ximu people call the mountaintop city of the plane gray people - the zero-point city: Azaruden.
Azarudeng not only includes the original Hanluo Temple area, but also the entire main peak. It even spreads to the secondary peak on the west side. The deputy peak is also called Wei Feng. Generally speaking, the highest peak of a mountain range is called the main peak, and the other peaks are called secondary peaks. The secondary peak connected to the main peak is also called Wei Peak. Because the secondary peaks on the west side are far away from each other, Ximu people often call it Hanluo West Peak. The West Peak has meandered to the Irinata Lake area in the upper reaches of the White River, and together with the North and South Breitsin Pass and Secunda's Shelf, forms a spreading mountain range. This is the giant's camp, a restricted area for the Nords.
The 3,000 households of plane gray people living in the entire Azaruden City are all slaves of the lord. According to the classification of Asgardians, they are civilians who are not born with the ability to believe in the Law of the Golden Tree. Ever since the day he passed through the Forge Gate and arrived in Skyrim Province. There is no trace of their existence in the Nine Marvel Realms.
It is said that even Lady Freya of the Heron's Feather cannot locate the former Aesir Domain.
There is only one possibility. Asgard may have been destroyed in "Thor: Twilight of the Gods".
Don't wait to reach the city gate of Azaruden. Both sides of the mountain road were packed with people kneeling to greet him. They are all the dark elves of Watt Alheim who were saved by Wu Chen. Compared with the native races of Tamriel, the dark elves of Alheim have pale skin similar to the snow elves. Therefore, the gray people of the plane are also called "cold Falmer" by the people of Skyrim Province.
Falmer, also known as the "Snow Elf", originally got along well with the ancient Nords who also moved to Skyrim. However, after realizing the terrifying expansionism of the Nords, Falmer turned his back on himself. Oath, launched the famous "The Night of Tears" (The Night of Tears), massacred all the Nords. Only Ysgramor and his two brothers survived. Later, the surviving "pioneer" Ysgramor led a group of 500 warriors back to Skyrim and launched a counterattack. Finally, at the beginning of the First Era, all snow elves were driven out of the sky.
The remaining snow elves, defeated and driven out, turned to the Dwemer for help. The dwarves gave them a chance to survive. The snow elves have since become slaves in the underground world. Due to long-term consumption of poisonous mushrooms, the snow elves' intelligence has declined, their body and mind have been severely degraded, and they have been twisted into underground monsters with stooped bodies and hideous faces. It was not until 700 of the First Era that the dwarves disappeared, and the snow elves, who had lost their restraints, began to occupy the ruins of the underground dwarves, raising frost spiders and poisonous insects Chaurus, eating Chaurus eggs, and using Chaurus Using horny and toxins to make armor and poison-coated weapons, they began to attack and plunder the feuding Nords on the ground crazily.
Almost no one knows that a small number of snow elves who escaped from the Dwemer's poisonous hands hid themselves in some unknown places. The survivors did not fall and lived until the Fourth Age. For thousands of years, Skyrim travelers have often confused the difference between Falmer and Snow Elf.
So in order to distinguish them, the Nords took away the name of the twisted underground creature Falmer and called it "Transformed Falmer", or simply changed it to Chauruser.
The name of Falmo is dedicated to the gray people of the plane of Azaruden, the city of zero point.
For the two races in the Ximu territory, this was obviously a good start out of good intentions.
"Sir, the three thousand plane gray people you sent here not only possess top-notch combat skills, but also have extremely high talents in handling the mechanical puppets of the Dwemer dwarves." The housekeeper explained the past that Wu Chen didn't know about. Dao Lai: "The reason why the construction of Azarudeng City was completed so quickly was due to the Dwemer machinery repaired by the gray people of the plane."
"So, the dark elves of Watt Alheim should be considered a mountaintop race between the snow elves and the deep elves (Dwemer)." Wu Chen looked up and saw a Dwemer airship.
Only then did Wu Chen remember that on Hanluo Mountain, which carried the dream of the housekeeper, there were not only the "Great Library", "Magic Academy", "Comradeship", "Children's Association", and "Mountain Top Colosseum" , "Azaruden City", and a "Brass Airport".
Only now did Wu Chen realize that the Brass Airport was really used to park Dwemer airships!
