My name is Akatosh,
This entrance method... looks a bit familiar?
——4E, 201, Frost Moon, 5th, 19:43——
Arthur was quite regretful and lucky to not wake up in the "passage" this time.
After all, the ongoing "saving the world" is not very realistic. Alduin and his minions are currently quite weak, and all he has to do is to prevent the other party's plan that will destroy the world if it goes smoothly at the initial stage. interrupt.
In contrast, it is more fulfilling to save a friend who is clearly in danger of death in the cracks of time, even if she does not know it.
These random thoughts only lasted a moment. When he found that he was in the air after passing through the "whirlpool" and began to fall downward, Arthur had to quickly find a countermeasure.
There is no sun, moon or stars in the "sky" above. There is only a huge and narrow "wound" that is faintly shining with white light, as if it has been torn apart by some weapon.
Below, everything as far as the eye can see is covered with thick white mist, so it is difficult to see the specific situation on the ground. It may be flat land or an abyss.
Phew—just when Arthur was considering whether to transform into a dragon, his body suddenly became light and his falling speed slowed down instantly.
"Don't act rashly," Zella Pesh, who appeared next to him, also used a slow-fall spell for himself, keeping the height roughly equal to Arthur, and then said: "This place is different from Cold Harbor. If everyone is lost in the fog, It will be difficult to reunite if you are inside.”
"Everyone?" Arthur looked around with confusion.
Huh-huh-the figures of Emil, Lydia and Sophie appeared beside him out of thin air, and then Zella quickly used slow-falling spells to stabilize their falling speed.
"I was supposed to be the first one to pass through as a time and space anchor, but something seems to have gone wrong." She casually arranged Emil's somewhat disheveled hair, then turned around and pushed Sophie to Arthur: "Yours Why is the weight of time and space greater than mine?"
"Can I say that I didn't understand what you were talking about at all?" Arthur spread his hands and took Sophie. Since she didn't face Alduin directly, it didn't matter that she didn't need to turn into a dragon.
"I don't understand either. I'm just repeating...the nouns in the book." Zella imitated him and spread her hands, but it was completely different: "Anyway, we are about to enter a heavy fog. Everyone, please move closer."
"Woof woof woof! He's going to die, he's going to die!" Babas appeared from high in the sky, then spun down and fell. Arthur's quick eyesight and hands quickly caught the native dog.
The next moment, everyone sank into endless fog.
——20:04——
If the phenomenon of clouds or fog is not so dense and exaggerated, it is impossible to achieve the level of "all white in front of you" or "you can't see your fingers". In most cases, it will only gradually shrink according to its concentration. It’s just within the user’s visual range.
The internal visual range of this fog that shrouds the entire "Songgard" is about ten meters, which is enough for people caught in it to cope with most situations.
However, what surprised Arthur was that although the visual range near the surface was very small, the "wound" in the sky and the light it emitted were still clearly visible. There was no need to light torches or use lighting spells.
"Hmm... Mark of the Sky? Nico Niconi?" Zella muttered two inexplicable spell-like words and then completely ignored it.
"Baron, an enemy is approaching."
With the help of the slow landing technique, everyone successfully landed in a small forest, but before they had time to carefully observe the surrounding environment, Lydia had already raised her shield to block the front of the team.
"Oh?" Arthur put down Sophie, unsheathed his sword, and looked at the position where Lydia warned. Since this is Sognard, of course the enemies are undead. You should use the "Sword of Oath and Victory" to deal with them. There are great advantages.
Then, a snow leopard, two elk, a mountain boar, three frost spiders, five snow wolves, and a huge white bear walked out of the woods, their eyes all shining with flaming red light.
"This..." Arthur was surprised, not because they were too strong, or because these animals were mixed together without fighting, but because they were obviously the animals he killed after the Helgen incident.
"Sophie can eat them?" The little girl grabbed Arthur's armor.
"No...not until Daddy has carefully inspected them." Arthur patted her little head.
"Wow! Strange, why are all these guys' hostility directed at you, Arthur?" Babas' keen perception verified Arthur's guess.
"Maybe it's because I was a hunter before I became a baron?" Arthur temporarily suppressed his suspicion, sheathed his sword, then folded his hands and summoned an elf longbow glowing with purple light out of thin air.
"The spell model is too rough and won't last long." The chief mage of Winterhold commented on the side.
"No way, the two-handed sword is completely unsuitable for dealing with those fast-moving wild animals...well, probably wild animals." Arthur opened his bow and arrow, and first nailed all three frost spiders to death with a three-star chain.
Then, Emil, who disappeared when Lydia said "there is an enemy," appeared behind the snow leopard, and cut its throat with a flash of a jet-black dagger.
Tsk——sand——
Contrary to expectations, the spider and snow leopard did not fall to the ground after being killed. The red light in their eyes disappeared after suffering fatal injuries, but their bodies remained in the same posture as before death and were directly turned into ashes and scattered.
"Ah..." Sophie's eyes widened, as if she saw someone wasting food in front of her.
Why does it look like a vampire's death? Why can't we see their "death" at all? Moreover, what is the relationship between the blue fire in the eyes of ghouls and other undead, the yellow fire in the eyes of vampires, and the red fire in the eyes of "creatures" in this world? Finally, if they were really the wild animals he had killed, wouldn't it mean...
"Ouch!!" "Boom!" The sound of fangs and shields colliding recalled Arthur, who was slightly distracted. Only then did he realize that the wild boar had taken the opportunity to rush over, but Lydia held up his shield to stop him. It doesn't look like an ordinary wild boar at all.
Just like Barbas said, the attack targets of these beasts are all Arthur. Even though Emil did not become invisible or sneak and killed the snow leopard in front of them, their next move was still to pounce directly because they used He is unable to attack again in a short period of time due to his skill with continuous arrows.
Wild boars and snow bears attacked head-on, while snow wolves and elk took advantage of their speed to circle around the team looking for opportunities.
"Woof woof woof!" Although it seemed to have been strengthened in different aspects, the deer was still a deer. Babas chased the two deer very happily and bit them "to death". After the light in their eyes was extinguished, they also turned into ash.
There is no time for hesitation and hesitation now! Arthur suddenly threw away the "Summoning Bow", gently pushed Sophie away, then picked up the golden sword and rushed towards the two large animals that were hitting Lydia's shield: "Zera! Amy! Leave those wolves to us. You guys!"
"Tsk - Emil?" Zera sighed deeply, and as she sighed, a ring of frost spread out, freezing the snow wolves in place without affecting the white bears and wild boars in front of them.
"...Complete." Emil's figure appeared behind several wolves in succession like a flicker. When she returned to Zera, the heads of those snow wolves just flew up and turned into ashes in the next second.
"Ah..." Sophie's expression became increasingly sad.
"Be good! This is for you to eat~" The female mage took out two donuts from nowhere and gave them to the little princess who came to ask for credit and Sophie who seemed to be about to cry.
Although they may think this is a fuss and a waste of time, it is still a very necessary investigation. After avoiding dozens of attacks from wild boars and white bears, and trying to be hit by them several times, Arthur finally swung his sword. Cut the two giant beasts into ashes.
The conclusion of the investigation is that the physical fitness of these "ash creatures" has been greatly enhanced, and their strength and speed have also been significantly improved. In contrast, their physical fitness and defense have been weakened to the same extent. Moreover, they are neither undead nor demons, and cannot be stimulated. The special ability of the long sword.
For example, it is impossible for Arthur's demon armor to be left with traces by the tusks of a mere wild boar, but every time he is picked by this "ash boar", there will definitely be a dent, and a normal giant snow bear will also have a dent. It is impossible to be struck to death by the "Sword of Oath and Victory" that does not activate special abilities.
"This 'Songard' is completely different from the legend." Even after the battle, Arthur did not put away his weapons, but assumed a vigilant posture: "We must find a safe place, at least leave this forest."
"So? Just go along this road?" Zella pointed to a forest path that was ignored because it was caught in a battle when it was first arrived.
"If there is a road, it means that someone has walked on it, but if they become like these animals...can they still be considered human beings?" Lydia said the same question that Arthur was worried about.
"If you don't know how to deal with it, just leave it to Sophie to eat." Babas said irresponsibly.
"No, you can't give Sophie something of unknown origin." Arthur flatly refused.
"Sophie hates daddy!" the little girl stuck her head out from behind Zella and shouted, and then continued to share snacks with Emil.
"Well..." Arthur would naturally not be hit by the little girl's angry words, but after thinking about it carefully, Sophie was indeed safer staying with Zella than with him, so he made a helpless expression and raised his sword. First walk along the forest path.
Due to the appearance of these "ash creatures", Arthur cannot be sure whether the environment of "Songgard" is the same as that of the main world, but at least common sense should not be too different. For example, this kind of path that is not an animal path belongs to the "ranger". This is the job that his adoptive father was once responsible for. According to observations, this path is often walked by people, so the "Ranger Hut" should be nearby.
