My name is Akatosh,

Huh? Does The Elder Scrolls still have a hacking function?

——4e, 201, Hearth Moon, 23rd, 20:01——

Blackfall, Zac Tower.

Arthur was looking at the dagger in his hand doubtfully.

Catching a projectile weapon is different from using it empty-handed. The latter is tantamount to seeking death when the combat power of both parties is about the same. It can only be used against opponents weaker than yourself. However, the lethality of projectile weapons will continue after they are out of the control of the attacker. The attenuation eventually approaches nothing, at which point even a small child can easily catch it.

But this dagger was different. It had just been shot. Even after a rebound, it was still equivalent to nearly 90% of Mercer's strength. However, it was caught by him accurately. The power and speed attached to it seemed to have never existed in the first place. .

Arthur raised his eyes slightly and saw that among his "constellations", the "two-handed weapon" had already lit up the ninth star, while the others that had grown up were the "heavy armor" and "heavy armor" that had lit up the sixth star. Block".

Perhaps because the two-handed weapon "Transcending Undead Creatures" was in front of him, Arthur easily understood the new features. "Heavy Armor" had a new feature "Piercing Attack Damage is Greatly Reduced", while "Block" had a new feature. The characteristic is "When successfully blocking or parrying, attacks that do less than a certain damage are ignored."

Very good, spears or daggers are still up for debate, but at least the flying arrows can be ignored. Those egg roll-like things eaten in "dreams" actually have this effect. Arthur stood up and patted Sophie. He motioned her to stay back, then extended his palm upward toward the middle-aged man in black armor who appeared inexplicably in the room, and then hooked him.

Come again.

Originally abducting or killing the Demon God's "pet" failed, Mercer had originally planned to retreat, but at this moment it seemed that he was a little angered by Arthur's actions, so he handed the dagger to his left hand and slowly pulled out his right hand from his waist. The ice blue elf sword in the middle.

As for the weapon strengthening technology in Skyrim Province, it can be roughly divided into three levels. The most common ones are to use a grindstone or tool table to sharpen the weapons and thicken the armor. For slightly more advanced ones, you can ask an enchanter to add enchantments to the weapons. There are various magical functions that cannot be achieved by previous means. For the most high-end ones, the enchantment itself is more valuable than the weapon, so after the enchantment, it will be renamed according to its enchantment effect, such as Mercer's "Cold Crack".

As for the artifacts, quasi-artifacts, and demonic artifacts such as Wuslade, Dawnbreaker, and Nightingale Sword, they are not within the scope of discussion.

"Ah!" Mercer Frey shouted, and rushed towards Arthur with the dagger in front and the sword behind him, and a blast of frost whizzed over before he could move.

No...why is it so slow?

Arthur's expression looked more and more strange. He moved half a step to the side lightly, just in time to avoid the frost. At the same time, without drawing his sword, he faced Mercer with his bare hands.

Although Mercer was a little surprised by this, he would not take the initiative to give up his advantage, and his attack movements became even faster.

Ding ding ding ding——

A series of rapid metal collision sounds came out. This was not Mercer's attack, Arthur blocked and parried, but Arthur's initiative to counter the dagger and Hancrack, by hitting the sword body and handle before they completed the attack. Even the hand holding the sword made it impossible to complete this attack. If Mercer tried to distance himself and regroup, he would not hesitate to step forward to pursue.

After a fierce battle for a while, Mercer achieved nothing except adding a few streaks of frost to Arthur's armor. Arthur initially attacked with both hands, but now he completely suppressed Mercer's hands with just one hand. Weapon offensive, the most annoying thing is that he also showed a "so bored" expression.

"You—" In anger, Mercer suddenly activated the "Cold Crack" enchantment, completely ignoring the fact that he himself was also within the scope of the influence. If nothing else, the two of them would turn into ice sculptures at the same time.

Bang!

Arthur instantly picked up the "Sword of Oath and Victory" and swung it, directly knocking Mercer away with the ice magic that was about to explode. He fell far into a place similar to a utility room, and the cold air suddenly rose. Freeze the entrance to that room completely, along with the metal door.

Well... Arthur looked at his hand. There was a small patch of frost remaining there. It was not that the other party's movements were too slow, but that his own thinking, or soul, had been greatly strengthened and he could act very efficiently, but the upper limit was still there. Limited to the current physical fitness.

After a moment of silence in the room, the freeze lifted, but Mercer did not come out of the room. Barbas, who was watching the show, suddenly laughed: "Wang hahaha! He ran away!"

"Are you still laughing?" Arthur turned and stared at the native dog: "You must have tricked him with some weird trading conditions before, right?"

"That's none of my business, wow!" Babas said: "Why do they think the devil will definitely complete the transaction conditions according to the method they expected? If you need to limit it, just put it forward. At that time, it was like 'you can do it' 'Looking like this, I turned around and came to investigate again."

"Go on." Arthur put away his golden two-handed sword.

"Wow! To be more specific," Tugou raised his paw and pointed at the thawing metal door: "The father is an elf and the mother is a human. His mother proposed to live longer than her husband, but she cannot touch her husband's lifespan. Maybe she thought this would extend her life, but what Weir did was to freeze the lady and release her husband when he was old enough to die."

This practice of malicious wish-fulfillment seems a little familiar...

"What if she offers to extend her lifespan until she is equal to her husband?" Arthur continued.

"First of all, she can't afford the price, not to mention that that level of life extension will attract the 'Akai' in charge of death," Babas replied: "The simple and easy solution is to let her and her husband share their lives, but She doesn’t want to, it’s just troublesome.”

"In that case, she -" Arthur was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed. He rushed over to pick up Sophie and rolled to the corner of the room.

The next second, the wall of the dwarf's bedroom twisted and melted like butter when exposed to fire. The dark breath swept through the room, and then explosions and flames began to appear. Although the process was electric and flint, it seemed to Arthur that It was so slow that he could even see Babas rolling and crawling away from the breath path.

"[Choke——]" A huge dragon roar sounded, and after the "vertical slash" of the up and down breath, there was another "flat slash". Although Zac Tower has not yet begun to collapse due to its compact structure, the internal However, the mechanical alarm sounds and vibrations kept coming out, and Arthur made a prompt decision, holding Sophie in his arms and jumping out of the gap created by the dragon's breath.

As for the dragon that caused all this... Arthur took the time to look up when he rolled to the ground, and it turned out to be the tattered ghost dragon Duneville.

Floating next to the dragon is a withered vampire king - no doubt, this is the unlucky vampire who was set on fire while rushing to read the Elder Scrolls. This time he came for revenge, and he also By the way, he summoned the ghost dragon that had just been deepened.

Fortunately, Jane Russell is not here. Now Arthur does not need to think too much about transforming. Moreover, it is just right to try to see how the current soul strength controls the dragon's body.

"Hey! Stupid big bat-"

Hearne was directing the ghost dragon to breathe up and down Zac Tower as if intending to completely destroy it. Suddenly he heard a call. When he turned around to look, he saw a big claw, followed by a swatting fly. They were also slapped directly to the ground.

He struggled to get up, but another, slightly smaller paw pinned him back down.

In mid-air, Duneville, who was still content with his ambition, was being beaten up by the red dragon transformed by Arthur. His already tattered body became even more ugly, and on the ground, Hearne was not huge. Sophie, or rather Sophie Lanier, was completely powerless against her power.

"I've always wanted to try this sentence," Babas said with a rabbit on his head: "Wow! This is incredible!"

——20:26——

Blackfall, [Twilight].

"Enemy attack——"

Due to the slow mechanical movements of the dwarves, their nearly two-day trek was completely unable to avoid detection, so [Twilight City] had long been prepared for their arrival. For example, now, when the scouts are still far away from the city, It was discovered early and an alarm was issued.

The combat-capable "Snow Elf Adjusters", the controlled adventurers, and a large number of ordinary Snow Elf scouts and warriors all rushed towards the direction of the dwarf mechanical army, but the Archbishop and the mage did not show up. Perhaps they felt that There is no need for on-site command in such a small scene.

"Enemy, enemy, enemy, the enemy is coming!" Compared with the mechanical army that was waiting in the direction, the city wall in the opposite direction had no decent defense at all. The only guard at the door was until those mutated snow elves wearing dwarf heavy armor climbed up the wall and appeared. After standing in front of them, he yelled in panic and was knocked unconscious with a punch.

"Gah-" Orred made a mocking sound and flipped the switch next to him to open the door.

"The situation is better than expected. Most of the defense forces have been used to deal with those dwarf machines." Paladin Galeb walked in from the door with a group of adventurers.

Just looking at the appearance, [Twilight City] is a clean, tidy, well-planned city of light that spreads outward with the cathedral as the center. But even if you don’t deliberately look for it, you can see the entrances to the city underground everywhere. All prove that this place is anything but simple.

"I still remember where they kept the new adventurers and those disobedient snow elves," Jane Russell seemed a little uncomfortable about returning to the city, but still restrained her fear and said, "I can take you with me. Go get them out."

"Let's split up," Galeb thought for a while and said: "The heavy-armed soldiers and I went directly to attack the cathedral. Even if they found out that the army was feigning an attack, they didn't dare to withdraw too many people. These people should be killed by us. If you attract people without going underground to investigate, then you will only have to deal with the remaining guards."

"Okay." Ella nodded.

Although it seems that there are too many people in the underground operation and it is a bit wasteful, if the "Archbishop" discovers that this is not a unilateral attack by the "Paladin", things may become very troublesome.

Moreover, the snow elves on the surface who are called "Adjusters" are all compatriots of Galeb. Their behavior of hoping to return to their pre-mutated appearance cannot be questioned by outsiders. Only the "Paladin" has the qualification to rebuke them. and stop them.

"Then, let's go too." Lydia opened a door leading to the underground and stepped in first, followed closely by Ella and Jane Russell, while Septin silently looked in the direction of Zac Tower, After thinking for a while with doubt on his face, he walked into the tunnel.
