"Master, it's Aishinya." Judgment Angel Shulia felt the origin of the Holy Light Gate almost instantly.
Previously, the Lord asked the Dragon Knight Ashtaret to return to the Gray Stone Castle and immediately go to the outpost of Septimus Signas with the Angel of Vengeance Aishenia, and immediately open the Holy Light Gate upon arrival. .
The time is just right.
"Let's go." Wu Chen immediately led the team into the Holy Light Gate and teleported back to the ice-covered Tamriel continent, the outpost of Septim Xignos.
"Master." The two female companions who greeted each other with affectionate smiles in front of the Holy Light Gate were none other than the Spiritual Dragon Knight Ashtaret and the Vengeful Angel Aishinya.
"Ash, Ash, thank you for your hard work." Wu Chen was in a good mood: "Where is Master Septimus Signus?"
"It's in the ice cave." Ashtaret, the spirit dragon knight, pointed to the deep frozen cave behind him.
Sometime in the late Third Age, the Tome of Infinites was sealed away by the Dwemer in a large safe (Dwemer Lockbox). This made Hermoeus Mora, the Demon of Knowledge, very unhappy. Located in a cave on the northeast coast of Skyrim, the interior of the safe, which has been enchanted with space magic, is much larger than the exterior, and can only be opened with the blood of the Dwemer. The famous scholar and authority on "The Elder Scrolls", Septimus Signus, tried to open the safe, stubbornly believing that it contained the heart of Lorkhan. The Knowledge Demon Hermoeus Mora told Septimus that he needed to use the knowledge of "The Elder Scrolls" to open the safe.
In the original plot, since the Dwemer were extinct, Septimus used the knowledge of "The Elder Scrolls" to find a way to open the safe: by injecting the blood of each existing elven race into his body to deceive the Dwemer's magic lock. However, the long-term use of forbidden magic has damaged Pudimus Signus's mind, and he has become a useless snack to the Knowledge Demon God Hermoeus Mora. So when he unlocked the safe and found that it was not the Heart of Lorkhan but the Tome of the Infinite and began to read it, Ptymus Signus was reduced to ashes. The last Dragonborn took and successfully read the "Infinite Wisdom", increasing his abilities.
When Wu Chen arrived, fortunately, the famous scholar Septimus Signas, who had not used the forbidden magic of "injecting the blood of all existing elven races into his body to deceive the Dwemer's magic lock", was still rational. Completely lost, his mind still maintains the last trace of clarity. This also means that injecting mixed elven blood is the last straw that leads to his complete ruin.
"Long time no see, Lord Baron." Following the polite greeting from the famous scholar Septimus Signas, a brand new memory copy of the Lord appeared out of thin air.
"Long time no see, Master." Wu Chen greeted with a smile. Once upon a time, during the adventure of searching for "The Elder Scroll Dragon", Wu Chen visited this authority who studied "The Elder Scroll" and received valuable advice, which provided a lot of convenience for subsequent adventures. The Lord and Septimus Signus are old acquaintances.
"I heard that one of your Gissei ladies was a deep elf who escaped into the void 4,000 years ago. This enlightened me, who was at a loss." The famous scholar Septimus Signus has the avenging angel... The soothing light of Althynia. It repaired his damaged mind to a certain extent, so he could talk to Wu Chen in fluent sentences.
"Master, are you still sure that the heart of Lockhan is in the safe?" Wu Chen asked with a smile. This is actually a kind reminder.
"Of course not." The famous scholar Septimus Signus repaired not only his damaged mind, but also his outstanding knowledge: "Since the voice that has been confusing me in my ears all day disappeared, I knew that the heart of Lorkhan was not long lost or even broken in the vault."
"Okay, Master." This is also the result Wu Chen wants: "Then open it and take a look."
"As you wish, Lord Baron." The famous scholar Septimus Signus looked at the spirit dragon knight Ashtaret: "Please begin, madam."
"Okay, Master." Apparently before Wu Chen passed through the Holy Light Gate and arrived at the excavation site, the famous scholar Septimus Signas had already explained the steps to unlock it to the Spirit Dragon Knight Ashtaret.
The only key is the blood of the Dwemer Deep Elves.
The Dragon Knight Ashtaret is also the only remaining deep elf in Skyrim. With a drop of blood, the brass cube safe filled with beautiful spirals opened, revealing the spiral passage leading inside.
"Master, this safe uses the power of the void." Spirit Dragon Knight Ashtaret whispered to Wu Chen: "So the internal space is much larger than it looks."
"I've seen similar cubes." Wu Chen thought of the fire source cube: "Don't mention it, this large safe seems to be very suitable for use as a gold melting bank's vault."
"The master is right." Spirit Dragon Knight Ashtaret smiled and said: "Take it back sometime and keep it safe."
"Then let's do it." Wu Chen agreed immediately.
Walking out of the spiral passage, what you can see at a glance is an old magic notebook floating quietly in the huge and airtight space.
As if feeling the stranger's approach, this old magic notebook was filled with rapidly expanding ink. The dripping ink turned into tentacles of darkness before it hit the ground. Almost at the same time, the mold-like ink suddenly opened its eyes and turned into a "bleak abyss" covered with tentacles. This is one of the sixteen demon gods, known as the "King of Destiny", "Lord of Secrets" and "Demon of Knowledge". He rules all taboos throughout the ages and is the incarnation of Hermoeus Mora, the demon of knowledge and destiny.
"Ah..." The Desolate Abyss spat out the foam of despair and spoke on its own: "The last Duwakein, come quickly...save me...save me..."
"What?" The famous scholar Septimus Signus was shocked: "Great Mora, are you asking for help from a mortal?"
"Shut up, idiot! Idiot!" The incarnation of Hermoeus Mora sprayed black juice and roared feebly: "The same mortal almost sucked my brain dry! My brain!"
"You mean, your knowledge and memory?" The famous scholar Septimus Signus said what he understood as "brain".
"You idiot, knowledge is me and I am knowledge! Who do you think brought you here? Who do you think protected you on your journey to open the box and release my knowledge? Your 'free will' is Illusion, illusion! Whether you admit me or not is your business, but I will always be in your mind." The incarnation of the furious Hermoeus Mora sounded like he was facing a crisis far beyond that of everyone else. Imagine: "Ah, that 'Skyrim Traveler' used some trick to convince Miraak to become one with him! Then, then, they started...eating books! Oh my god, that's the whole Apophis... ...The so-called endless library! Woo woo woo..."
"Mirak and Mimir really ate all the black books in the endless library?" The lord was also shocked. Is there really a bookish thing going on?
"Books are my memories! What they eat is my brain!" The incarnation of Hermoeus Mora roared hoarsely: "Except for this "Infinite Wisdom Book", my brain will be eaten. Quick, Save me, save me—"
As a desolate abyss filled with tentacles suddenly scattered into a puddle of slime in extreme distortion, it disappeared without a trace before it hit the ground.
Hermoeus Mora's last cry came to an abrupt end.
When the ink dissipated, the dilapidated "Book of Infinite Wisdom" suspended in mid-air fell to the ground.
There was only dead silence in the huge space.
