Orcs (orcs) have tall and strong bodies, skin ranging from dark green to blue-black, ferocious faces, and protruding fangs. Although their military power is unquestionable, their intelligence is very incomplete. When communicating with them, just say a few words. If something goes wrong, they will draw their swords, so only armies or adventure teams that need strong thugs will recruit them.
Urag Gro Shub is an orc, but he is also the administrator of the Arcane Hall of Winterhold Mage Academy. If people with bad eyesight see him from a distance, he has white beard and hair, wearing a robe, and holding a book in his hand. appearance. Perhaps considered a scholar or mage.
The reason why Urage was able to enter the Mage Academy is still a joke. Before the great collapse, there were many students in the Mage Academy. If they were allowed to show off their magic strength one by one like now, there would probably be a queue at the main entrance. A long line of people formed a circle around the academy, so the incoming chief mage made a pioneering move, that is - a written examination.
All students were given test papers that only those with enough magic power could see the text, and the test questions focused on logical thinking ability and knowledge reserve. This should be no problem at all, but no one expected that an orc would pass the written test.
Unlike other orcs, Urag has a very high magic affinity, but he cannot use magic. If he is emotional or fighting, he will trigger a magic rage to attack anyone around him indiscriminately. After solving this problem, I studied writing on my own and collected relevant books everywhere for research. I came to the academy for help, but unexpectedly passed the entrance exam. I was eventually assigned by the helpless chief mage to study at the Library Management School. Books—that was just what he wanted.
He usually sits behind the counter of the library with a glass of mead and watches the apprentices who are seeking knowledge reading. What he most often says to the new magic apprentices is: "The Arcane Hall is my personal plane of annihilation. If you Destroy any book and my magic will tear you to pieces."
In fact, nearly a hundred years have passed, and Ulag has aged. The only magic he masters is still the "Elemental Fury" that attacks indiscriminately. Although he doesn't know whether it is a significant improvement to only hurt people but not books.
"Uncle Urag~ I found the three books you asked for~" A blond Nord girl wearing a light gray apprentice robe quietly opened the door and walked in, holding a book box in her hand.
"Let me check it." Urag glanced at the book box and nodded slightly. Last time she went to help find an ancient book, but she came back with it in her bare hands. He scolded Tovdir in front of him. She tried it, and it seemed to work well.
"Here, "The Prophecy of Salidore", "The Prayer of Azura" and "The Son of the Sky"" Zelapesh opened the book box and placed them on the counter.
"Remove your 'soft voice' and 'illusion'," Urag picked up a book and said to the girl in front of him. "They will conflict with the protective magic of at least seventeen books."
"Well..." Zelapesh turned to look at the empty library except for her. The original blonde hair and blue eyes turned back to Urag's familiar black hair and black eyes: "There is no way, after all, we can't let Anka When Nuo sees me like this, it’s really troublesome for elves to live too long.”
An elf complained about her longevity in front of an orc who was about to die of old age. Urag rolled his eyes and decided to ignore it for the sake of these books.
"Son of the Sky" is an ordinary ancient book. It simply describes the Nords' ability to "roar" and speculates that it is related to the legendary dragon roar. It was written very early, and it is rumored that it may be Tiber. It was written by Septim himself, but because the author is unknown, it will only have collection value until new evidence is discovered by archeology.
"The Prayer of Azula" is a complete magic book. The records in the book are complete prayers used to worship the demon god Azura. Even if this book is only read silently, it will be equivalent to a formal prayer to Azula. Once, although the demon god was generally considered "good", it was uncertain what the consequences of reading it would be. It must be kept properly and apprentices were prohibited from touching it at will.
The "Shalidor Prophecy" is a private commission from Urag himself. Salidor founded the academy with his own hands and became the first chief mage. Many of his magic theories are still regarded as classics. His "Prophecy" series of books are With all the speculations and suggestions on the future development of magic, Urag even wondered if he had read other "Prophecies" without knowing it before it became what it is now. Although this book uses difficult-to-understand words, Ancient texts and a large number of ancient magic circles and spell models must be translated and thoroughly understood, and finally handed over to the academy for processing.
"So, is there any news about the huge green ball in these books?" The elf girl tilted her head and watched Urage sorting out the books.
"Green ball? How is that possible?" The old orc walked over and put away a few books: "You didn't find the stolen book. My brain is not strong enough to remember the contents of all the books in the library."
Yesterday, when Tovdil, the instructor of the Department of Change, was practicing teaching, he discovered a huge green sphere that kept rotating under the ruins of Sattar and had many ancient writings on its surface. He summoned several instructors to work together to remove it from the ruins. They were transferred to the academy in the ruins. During this period, people in Winterhold even spread rumors that the Mage Academy was going to destroy the world.
When the former elf saint came to look for records about Sattar, Urag remembered that the "Night of Tears", which recorded the famous events of Sattar, had been borrowed by an apprentice named Otun and had never been found. During this period, he was expelled for violating hospital rules, and now he doesn't know where he is. As a result, the borrowed books cannot be recovered.
"What? Aren't these books?" The elf girl's eyes widened and her pointed ears twitched twice in surprise.
"They are 'missing' books in the library, not 'lost' books," Urag shook his head: "Ottun has gone to no one knows where. This matter cannot be rushed."
"Tch, I'll catch him right away." Zelapesh snorted, turned around and left the Arcane Hall, while the old orc laughed and returned to sit behind the counter.
——14:30——
Otun is a lame mage with bright blond hair, handsome appearance, friendly smile, well-dressed and elegant conversation.
Not only can he turn the stone armor spell that is only effective on himself into a transformation spell that can be used on others, he can also turn the magic light spell into a dyeing spell, and he can even mix unrelated magic spells.
When Sergis Turianus was turned into a cow and Nielya turned green and went crazy, Otun turned the healing hand into a berserk spell, and the chief mage fired him on the spot in a rage. .
Today, he is imprisoned in the dungeons of Fortress Figuero - with a pack of wolves.
This fortress is a common military fortress that was abandoned due to the changes in the terrain and roads in the inter-province. The person who occupied this place was a female mage called "The Summoner" by her men. She was originally interested in Althun's appearance. He was quite interested in the conversation, but locked him up directly after he messed up several summoning rituals.
This group of mages are all summoners, but they are neither ordinary elemental summoners nor the hated necromancers. They focus on summoning various animal familiars. Currently, they can summon wild wolves stably. The ultimate goal seems to be to summon the world. The largest animal in the province - the mammoth, even with O'Tun's whims, he felt that this was not very realistic - this view had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that a troll ran out of the summoning ceremony he participated in.
"Ottoun, huh?"
O'Tun, who was feeling sorry for himself, heard a girl's voice coming from outside the cell door. He immediately adjusted his appearance, walked over quickly and put on a bright smile showing eight teeth: "I am O'Tun, what can I do? May I be of service to you, beautiful lady?”
"..." Outside the cell door was a blond-haired, blue-eyed Nord girl wearing a mage's long hair. She seemed to be at a loss and blinked her eyes without saying a word.
"Are you fascinated by my handsome face?" O'Toun assumed a chic pose again: "But if you get to know me deeply, you will find that my heart is even more beautiful."
"Well, where are the books you borrowed from the College of Winterhold?" the girl finally said, but did not comment on his boast.
"Books, of course. The books I selected are naturally very attractive. They have been borrowed by the controller of this fortress for reading. If this beautiful lady is willing to release me, I will take you to see her." Thun pointed to the switch outside the cell door.
"This?" The girl turned around and pulled a switch.
"No, that is, heart -" O'Tuen watched her flip the switch of the cell door that closed the group of wolves, and was shocked.
The scene that O'Turn expected of the wolves pounced and the girl was bleeding did not appear. The wolves were more like hiding in the cell and huddled together as if they encountered an enemy, not daring to come out.
"Uh-huh." The girl flipped the correct switch, then turned to look at O'Tuen: "For the sake of your reminder this time, I will forgive you for what you did before - now, take me there Meet 'The Summoner'."
Perhaps it was because the flickering firelight in the dungeon was a little dazzling, but Otun seemed to see the girl's eyes turn into dragon-like vertical pupils for a moment.
"She, no, they are just girls who simply like animals. Please don't hurt them." O'Tuen said while leading the girl.
Although he had never seen this girl in the academy, O'Turn's intuition told him that she could easily dismantle the entire fortress if she wanted to. Could it be that a senior mage was disguised in this image?
"I'm also very curious why this ruins is occupied by a group of female summoners." Along the way, summoners occasionally drove the animals they controlled to attack. The result was that all the summons were dispersed, and the summoners were frozen in place. The German girl glanced sideways at Otun: "But are you sure she is a girl? Many of them are as old as two of you."
"Hmm..." O'Toun hesitated for a moment, and in a blink of an eye he saw the eyes of the slightly older female summoner who was frozen in place by the human immobilization technique, and immediately said: "Of course."
"Haha." The Nord girl rolled her eyes.
"I will hand over all the treasures I have accumulated to you! And I will leave this fortress immediately and never appear in the province again -" The hall at the top of the fortress is a large hall with a summoning array and is decorated in a "homely" manner. After opening the door of the room, a summoner who looked to be about the same age as O'Tun rushed over and hugged O'Tun: "Please don't hurt him."
"...Then you still lock him in the dungeon." The Nord girl seemed to have nothing to think about. She rummaged around, found a book from the bookshelf, turned around and left, leaving only the two people with a complicated relationship. People look at each other.
