"Master, ahead is the location of the Skudafen Temple." Lookout Leith Pappy announced loudly from the brass microphone.
"Be careful." The Lord also felt a hint of crisis. After all, it is the last big counterattack of the stage plot. It is also a unique way for the plot world to hedge players’ harvest.
"As you command, my master." Watchman Leith Pappy braced herself.
When everyone boarded the deck, the Skudafen Temple shrouded in the annihilation storm immediately appeared on the skyline of the Velos Mountains. Under the reflection of the rolling glaciers, it looks like an enlarged black and red magic eye. Full of evil, he stared at the approaching Storm Outlook.
In fact, from a player's perspective. When most of the adventures are over, the all-region free exploration mode "unlocked" after completing the main plot in stages is the essence of "The Elder Scrolls". Old players all know this setting. The "open world" after the main story is cleared is the core adventure. So much so that "you have to clear the level before exiting the novice village" has gradually become a popular trend in the world of shelter plots.
After completing the main storyline, you can explore the world and complete one super challenge after another, which is the test for a shelter master.
So from a player's perspective, the annihilation storm that spread across the sky after the Collapse Day is actually a "challenge area" for expert players. Waiting for the arrival of the last dragonborn (players).
Of course, as a "small annihilation storm" scattered in the sky, it is far less terrifying than the "annihilation origin storm" that envelopes the throat of the entire world. It only takes three dragon roars "Clear Sky" or the Soul Explosion Staff to disperse the small annihilation storm that enveloped the Skudafen Temple.
The only thing that needs attention is that due to the superposition effect of the Memory Egg, the shadow of a huge Theist tree appears in this area. It's like a magic tree inside a crystal ball, giving people an unreal feeling.
"Master, be careful of the 'soul trap'." The moment he saw the shadow of the Thester tree, the librarian Dusk and Wind Catlia hurriedly reminded: "'The souls of Argonians have a deep and profound connection with the Thester tree. A mysterious link that makes them different from other races in Tamriel. Warlocks who specialize in soul traps have been trying to exploit this difference for many years. In the Kingless Period in 2E 582, the high elf alchemist Luyuvi The Aldmeri forces led by Ruuvitar brought the stolen sap from Shadowfen out of Shadowfen. They boiled the sap and used it to steal Hrondar in Nord Vicecanon. memories and replaced him with a Skin-Stealer. Later the Aldmeri Empire began murdering citizens of Stormfort and stealing their skins to use. This method of stealing memories and appending skins is called 'skin-stealer' (Skin-Stealing) Technique'."
"So, someone used the Egg of Memory to set up a trap that could swallow souls." The Lord seemed to have thought of something: "I heard that the Demon God of Cold Harbor, Molag Bal, used the blue blood to transform the dragon bone into a Daedra Titan. Then. It was then transformed into the Daedra Ash Titan by the Demon God of Death, Merunes Dagon. Is the egg of memory shrouded in the Storm of Annihilation in front of you just a token used by the Argonians to sign the "Ebonheart Pact"? "
"Obviously not, my master." This is what Dusk and Wind Catelia are worried about: "If this egg of memory is contaminated and demonized by the devil, what we encounter is likely to be a group of annihilation monsters. Breaking in rashly will Encountering an endless nightmare. A crisis similar to the Master's incarnation of Mephala on the island of Solseheim, the 'Dead Maiden', invading Nirn in the present world with a 'Nightmare of the Annihilation Plane'."
"As expected." The Lord also thought of it: "So this is a double superposition. One layer is the 'Theist Dream' of the Memory Egg, and the other layer is the demonized 'Nightmare of Annihilation'."
"That's probably the case, my master." Dusk and Wind Catelia nodded solemnly.
"The reason why the ancient dragon priest Naklin set up the double dream is simply to buy the World Eater Alduin more time, so that she can eat and drink enough and be able to devour the entire world. It is like lighting up the entire furnace.' A piece of wood'. This is the reason why Alduin escaped into Sognard and swallowed the Nord heroic spirits." The Lord's meaning is that the swallowed Nord heroic spirits are the "initial fuel" that ignited Alduin's world-destroying fire. firewood".
"Master, what should we do next?" This time without a housekeeper, Captain Tianji's daughter Mu Li was not used to it.
"It's still the previous plan. Give the egg of memory to Nayu Villian, and we will go to Sognard as soon as possible to solve the biggest trouble." The Lord smiled and comforted.
"Okay, Master." Although she didn't know how to solve the double superimposed nightmare, the daughter of Skyrim, Mu Li, still had absolute trust in the Lord. Besides, even if the other side of this voyage will reach the plane of annihilation, as long as the Lord is accompanying them all the way, all members of the Storm Outlook will move forward bravely without any hesitation or hesitation.
The Storm Outlook flew straight towards the shadow of the Thester tree in the Annihilation Storm.
As usual, the oncoming wind of ashes that scattered sparks near the periphery contained a familiar aura of death and destruction, and there was also the faint roar of demons from the plane of annihilation that came to my ears.
The light of the magic ring immediately appeared on the keel of the spacecraft, dispersing all the wind of ashes rushing towards the deck. As a living relic of "time fragments", the dragon's bones cannot be shaken even by the Annihilation Storm, not to mention the blessing of the ring.
The Storm Outlook's protective ring comes from a continuous supply of energy from a small divine light crystal furnace. There are also "rings of magic" stacked armor engraved on all crew members. As well as the utilization of the entire Nirn magic circuit.
If the three stacks cannot be broken at once, it will be difficult to damage the hull of the Storm Outlook.
However, as a dream superimposed on reality, Nien is equal to the real world. The superposition of dreams is another level of rules. Of course, the Dharma Ring is a self-consistent dimension that ensures that dreams cannot corrode the inner space. But there was no way to avoid the Storm Outlook sailing into dreamland as a whole.
It is not difficult to understand from a spatial perspective. After all, the "space covered" by the Annihilation Storm covering the Skudafen Temple is much larger than the "space occupied" by the Storm Outlook. This also means that the entire Storm Outlook rushes into an incalculable double nightmare without any hesitation. The crisis faced stems from the double nightmare's "invasion" of the self-consistent dimension of the spacecraft guarded by the magic ring.
But there is the guidance of Lord Gaowei's hand, the determination of Hanta, and the protection of the law of the golden tree. The same three-layer armor makes this journey smooth and rock-solid. The only "flaw" is that the lord has to leave the spaceship and walk into the entrance of Songard guarded by the ancient dragon priest Naklin. The connection between the two systems is the most dangerous journey.
The lord knew very little about the ancient dragon priest who guarded the entrance to Sognard. From the available information, we only know that the meaning of Naklin in dragon language is "revenge". The gate to Songard can only be opened by his staff.
