,
My name is Akatosh,
Alduin, you're on the wrong set!
——4e, 201, Hearthfire Moon, 24th, 20:00——
The dusk hour has passed, and the entire Skyrim Province is completely obscured by the shadows of the western mountains, entering the dim night. The only thing still in "daylight" is the highest peak, Hrothgar, like a bird in endless darkness. candles.
After Arthur spent more than ten minutes reading the Elder Scroll, his whole temperament seemed to have changed slightly, but I couldn't tell what it was. I thought about it for a while and found that I didn't have the talent for profiling, so I decided to give up.
"Hey, stupid system, where is Alduin?" I turned the monitor on Hrothgar's Peak a few times, but there was still nothing in the sky.
[Maybe he went to another province to resurrect the dragon? 】
"Well……"
According to the original setting, the Dragonborn protagonist had just learned "Dragon Break" through the Elder Scrolls, and Alduin eagerly descended from the sky and appeared in front of him/her. After a few words of ridicule with Paarthurnax, he was beaten by the protagonist. A roar came from the sky, followed by a beating. It was so beaten that it became suspicious of Longsheng, and fled directly back to Songgard in embarrassment.
Thinking about it now, this plot is as problematic as Alduin's attack on Helgen. The Elder Scrolls reproduced through illusion the process of the three ancient heroes exiling Alduin at the cost of two deaths and one injury, and the Dragonborn gained from it The extremely degraded version of "Dragon Break", kill him/her at this time, just to let him/her test its power.
[Did you not come because of the difference in strength? There are four dragons and one demon god gathered here. 】
"Speaking of which, what's going on with that ancestral dragon? I thought it was Miraak who was planning ahead, but it turns out that this dragon is a fool, and it's quite fun to be a rabbit." I looked at the one whose head was being touched by Sophie. "rabbit".
[That was really a plan. In order not to arouse suspicion, Miraak forcibly hypnotized his mount into a rabbit, but it had some kind of mark on it, which contained the power of 'Hermaeus Mora'. Once Miraak faced him Say certain words and it will instantly snap back and react. 】
"What words? Longing, rusty, seventeen, dawn, stove, nine, kindness, home, one, truck?" I spat.
Huh? Wait, Dawnguard, Hearthfire, Dragonborn... there may be fans of the Winter Soldier among the Old Gun production team.
[It’s not clear what it is specifically, because it was carried out in Mora’s ‘Hedonic’ plane. The believers who sent it here only knew that it happened, but they didn’t know the details. 】
Hmm... The unlucky cultist was ordered to look for the Dragonborn, but he was directly arrested by the Xueman guards. It seems that Balgruuf had asked about it once, and finally decided to keep these two guys who were troublesome just by listening to them indefinitely. Even though they were detained, they confessed everything they knew to no avail.
"So, is there a way to eliminate it?"
[If it is eliminated, it will be discovered, but it can be disabled directly, but then the blue dragon will always be a rabbit. 】
"Just do it this way. You will know the key words sooner or later. We can wait until Sophie gets tired of playing."
——20:17——
"嘤——" The rabbit dragon in the surveillance screen that could only "chirp" made a speechless sound when the mark expired. Even Arthur, who was communicating with Lao Pa, looked back.
"Paarthurnax—Your Majesty," Arthur continued to talk to Paarthurnax as if nothing had happened, but his tone was not very good: "Have you ever ordered the extermination of mankind?"
"Hmm - have you even seen such a thing?" Paarthurnax did not deny it: "Yes."
"I only saw the results," Arthur said, "Can I ask the 'reason'? If you might try to destroy humanity again, I'm afraid I can't trust you without reservation."
According to the original setting, Paarthurnax was a general under "Alduin the Dragon" and had done a lot of bad things. This was also the reason why Delphine, the Blade Warrior, had to let him die. He just killed Paarthurnax. There is no benefit at all. It is meaningless for the players to strengthen and rebuild the Blade Warriors, and they have to pay for some mercenaries that can be recruited from various places. On the contrary, if you ignore Delphine's request, you can learn to strengthen the "Unbreakable" from Lao Pa. The skills with the power of "Power" and "Breath of Fire" will basically not be used if you are not obsessive-compulsive in all tasks.
"What era is it now?" Paarthurnax suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
"Fourth Era, two hundred and one years." Arthur looked confused, but still answered.
"Yes, that's right, after the first era are the second, third and fourth era, of course," Paarthurnax said: "Then, you know that in the 'Mythic Era' or the 'Dawn Era', each one What will happen after the Era' ends?"
"Not backwards, I guess." Arthur replied tentatively.
"Spread backwards, trace forwards, go to the future, and return to the past. Before it actually happens, no one can be sure what will happen. The only thing that can be certain is that after the end of an 'epoch', this undetermined situation will still happen. "Reappeared," Paarthurnax paused: "In various myths among humans, elves, and other races, the descriptions of the mythical era are contradictory, and sometimes even create fundamental conflicts. The reason is that that era time is discontinuous."
"Hmm... So why did you order the extermination of mankind?" Although Arthur was surprised, his purpose was not misled.
"Because it was actually an 'Era of Chaos' that I once thought was a 'Era of Era'." Paarthurnax said.
"..." Arthur, who was thrown out a new concept again, seemed speechless.
"The characteristics of the 'Eternal Era' are its long duration and stable environment. It is easy to form a unified huge empire, and enter a new 'Eternal Era' when it falls apart and is re-established. A large part of the myths during this period are inspired by the Holy Spirit. Interesting fact," Paarthurnax explained: "And the beginning of the 'Era of Chaos' must be because the previous era ended with 'Doomsday'. It doesn't make any difference whether the devil interfered or was swallowed by Alduin. The Era of Chaos continues. During this period, no order will exist, the Holy Spirit will not come out, demons will be everywhere, and the myths about it are almost all filled with demons torturing humans or other residents."
"Although the dragon empire seems to be in order, due to the existence of dragon priests and dragon emperors, those humans are actually being 'tortured'. This was not discovered until I found signs of the 'World Devourer' awakening," Pa Tunax paused: "Exterminate the human race, or the rebellious humans exterminate the dragons. As long as they are not devoured by Alduin, they can enter the next 'Eternal Era'. Unfortunately, the war fell into a stalemate. In the end, Alduin Wake up."
"So..." Arthur looked around.
"Yes, this is where the final battle took place," Paarthurnax nodded to the monastery down the mountain that was obviously missing half of it: "'The Exile of Alduin' is an ending that has never happened, and the history of the Dragon Empire begins here. It stopped abruptly, and each of the powerful dragons suddenly turned into withered bones in the dragon's tomb. If I left the peak of Hrothgar, it might become like that. You would think that you have been communicating with a human gray beard. History, and my Dragon Tomb has long existed.”
"No, I won't," Arthur said with conviction.
"The one who completely ended the Mythic Era was an Elf King, 'Ali-Ai'. He overthrew the human empire of that era, established the Elf Dynasty, and officially advanced the 'Mythic Era' to the 'Elf Era'. Originally, Humanity disappeared on the continent until Sgramer came from the north with his comrades." Paarthurnax shook his head: "Then there will be the human era that you are familiar with, but even now, I can't be sure Is it really out of the mythical age now, or is it just a 'Eternal Era' that has lasted too long?"
"In terms of evidence," Paarthurnax bared his teeth in the direction of the mountain: "It is already the Fourth Era. Thousands of years have passed, but life and fighting, clothing and housing are not the same as those of the First Era and mythology. Is there any difference in the Anno period?”
"..."
'That is true? 'I felt a little silly listening to the history class. I turned my head to look at the stupid system: "So, those demon gods didn't actually do anything. They have destroyed the world many times with their 'doomsday elements'?"
[The speeches of people who have lived for too long sound reasonable. If you meet the gem man in the fate world, he will definitely deceive you into thinking that "you are Patient Zero" is imaginary. Then I pretend to be dead again, hehehe~]
'Don't imitate Cicero! '
【it hurts! Wuwuwu...ah! Discover Alduin! 】
——20:33——
On the eastern border of Snowrun, the hole made by Arthur and Saloknir in the fight connected to Covanjonder. Since it was a new tomb that had not been discovered, adventurers, explorers and tomb robbers mixed in here. After gathering together, many conflicts arose.
In order to prevent collapse, they set up roadblocks to block pedestrians and vehicles. As a result, the conflict further intensified. When the quarrel finally turned into a fight, the Imperial Legion and the Stormcloaks lurking on both sides were discovered at the same time. Passers-by dispersed, and adventurers fled one after another. into the hole, while Rikki and Stone Fist fought with the right opponent in the wrong place at the wrong time.
"[Die! Dragonborn!]" As if this scene was not chaotic enough, when the two sides were about to engage in a tense situation, huge black wings covered the starry sky, and the dragon Alduin fell from the sky and gathered in a pile at the edge of the battlefield, blocking each other's way. , the noble carriage spewed out burning dragon breath before it had time to leave.
It was an unusually large dragon's breath, covering almost all the carriages. Even if there were magicians among them who could hold up a magic shield, it was not enough to protect everyone. I complained that this stupid dragon was in the wrong place, while preparing to find a way to save it. When he was alone, he saw a flash of black light on the carriage where Emil was sitting.
[Untainted Consciousness·The Realm of Emptiness]
The breath that had no entity was cut off by the volley and disappeared.
