'Who are you……'
'Are you Serana? ! '
'etc! You...how did you become like this? And, what about Anne? Where is she? ! '
'I have no idea……'
'Maybe she went back to the sun...'
'sun? '
'What's the meaning? '
'In that sense, maybe she went home, but who knows? However, this is the first time I have felt warmth in so many years...'
'very nice……'
Early the next morning, when the hungover Dawn Guards and Nords woke up from their sleep, Anne was no longer in the Dawn Guard's castle.
No one knows where she went, just like no one knew where she came from...
Anyway, when Yishiran and others came to her room, they saw only one person standing in front of the window sill with the morning sun shining down, her face still full of disbelief, enjoying the sunshine while not being confused. It was just the female vampire Serana who kept stroking the jade-like skin of her hands, and her eyes and body continued to radiate strong holy light.
Of course, now she can no longer be said to be a female vampire!
Now, perhaps in a certain sense, she can be said to be the glorious daughter of the Dawn Guard and the Holy Light Church, the incarnation of the Holy Light, and the favored one of the Holy Light - Serana Lightcaster?
However, what to call it, or how to package it properly so that its existence is most conducive to the Dawn Guard and the spread of the Holy Light Church, is an issue that Ishiran and others need to slowly consider in the future. .
Anne definitely has no way to take care of that kind of thing, nor does she want to take care of it!
Because she felt that there was no point in staying in the Dawnguard Castle any longer, and she felt that those guys no longer needed her and there was nothing particularly interesting in the castle, so she started again. Her journey in Skyrim was ended, leaving only a series of mysteries and legends to Ishran and the other Dawn Guards.
At this time, when Ishiran and others were still astonished by Serana's changes, she had already teleported from the south of Rift City to Winterfort on the northernmost coast of the northeastern corner of Skyrim Province!
Of course, to be more precise, he should have arrived at the College of Winterhold?
For Annie, who was originally a mage and had been able to use spells freely since she was two years old and capture an evil shadow bear from the fossil forest alive, now that she has come to this world, if she cannot come to the prestigious Academy of Winterhold, ', she will definitely regret it if she is seen by the magic academy that she has heard of many times!

"Tibbers..."
????????????????
"This should be right here, right?"
(???????????????)??~
Looking at the huge castle located on the rocks in the sea in the northern part of the Winterhold Territory and exuding strong elemental power, Anne knew without much guessing that she was definitely not in the wrong place.
(have no idea……)
(lll¬??¬)
(Tibbers has never been to Winterhold, and he doesn’t know whether the ruined castle in front of him is the Academy of Winterhold. He just suddenly doesn’t want to talk to a bad little master. He just wants to be quiet, although he doesn’t Do you know who Jingjing is and why people often miss her...)
'Hello! '
'brat! It's such a heavy snowstorm, and you're still running around outside? '
'? ? '
'Hey! She ignored me. Whose girl is she? '
'I have no idea……'
'! ! '
'She seems to be going to the college? Hello! etc! Little guy, no one is allowed to get close there, come back quickly! '
'Hello! Stop it! '
'OK OK! '
'Forget it, buddy, don't chase after it. The snow is so heavy now, and there are mage from the academy guarding the bridge. She will definitely not be able to get in. If you have any questions, wait until she comes back to ask. '
'this……'
'Well, maybe you're right. '
'Come on, keep warming yourself by the fire! '
'...'
I saw someone wearing a gorgeous blue and white snow skirt and trotting in the snow. He didn't look like a child from a poor family. He was also skipping towards Winterhold College. One person was holding his hands under the eaves to avoid the wind. Snow's Winterfort guards shouted a few words very responsibly.
However, after he took two steps out of the eaves and his companion stopped him, he felt that there was no benefit in doing so, so he quickly retreated and continued to swim in the howling snow and cold wind. , keeping warm by the brazier under the eaves.
"..."
(??????)
"That's right! It must be from here!!"
o(??▽`)o =3 =3 =3
Little Annie looked up at the stone bridge in front of her, and felt that she was definitely on the right track. In the snowy town in front of the college, she ignored the guards and someone hiding in the distance by the eaves to avoid the snow. Some townspeople who stuck their heads out of the windows to check, ran directly towards the castle stairs at the end of the town.
She just wanted to visit the Academy of Winterhold, the largest and only magic academy in Skyrim, and she didn't want to deal with the guards, because it would be too troublesome...
(…)
(● ̄(??) ̄●)
"who is it?"
"Wait! Stop!!"
"Well?!"
"It turns out to be a little guy...whose child are you from? Why are you here? Go back! Go back! It's very dangerous here. It's not a place for kids like you to play. If you fall from the bridge, I will I won’t care about you!”
When Anne had just run onto the bridge of the College of Winterhold, she was about to walk from the bridge-like passage along the pier and bridge along the rocky pontoon hanging on the cliff of the ice sea to the Castle of the College of Winterhold, which was built on a huge stone pillar. At that moment, he was stopped by a middle-aged Nord woman who shouted at him.
"Eh?"
∑(??△`)? !
"Who are you? Why don't you let people in?!"
(??????.??????)????????
Anne didn't know this Obasan, and she didn't want to, because now she just wanted to go in and take a walk around the Winterhold College to see the rare things.
"Ha! You asked about me first?"
"Then listen carefully: I am the magician of Winterhold College. I am currently responsible for testing the qualifications of those who enter the college..."
"So, little guy, go back quickly!"
"This is really not a place where children like you should come and play. This bridge is very dangerous, and the gate will not be opened for children like you, so you can't go in!"
"Okay! I've been bullied, go back now!!"
After patiently explaining, the woman who claimed to be the mage of Winterhold College impatiently drove Anne away, because in her opinion, this kind of curious little girl was just here to cause trouble. If the other party didn't If you accidentally fall off the bridge and drown, then maybe it will be another minor trouble?
"But……"
(????ˇ??ˇ????)
"Isn't this a place called the Academy of Winterhold? People are here to learn magic, why not let them in?!"
(??????.??????)????????
Anne originally wanted to say that she was here to play, but considering that the other party would definitely not let her in, she hesitated for a moment, and after a few tenths of a second, she quickly changed her words and said He explained the more reasonable reason why he came here.
"Learning magic? Just you?!"
"All right……"
"Looks like you're like the guys who came here recently?"
"Yes, this is indeed the College of Winterhold, a safe haven for learning and using spells in Skyrim, a place full of wisdom and arcane knowledge..."
"But believe me, little guy, it's too early for you to learn magic. I don't think you are suitable to come here, because magic is very dangerous!"
After looking at Anne up and down, the woman blocked in the not-so-wide bridge smiled and shook her head. Because she didn't think that this little girl had the qualifications to enter or could meet the qualifications to enter. After all, the other party was too young. She might not know all the words, so how could she learn the profound and complicated magic knowledge?
"Not early at all!"
o(??^`)o
"Anyway, people want to go in!!"
s (????ˇεˇ????)ゞ
After saying that, Annie raised her legs and walked forward, intending to bypass the other party and then walk directly to the bridge behind the other party.
"etc!"
"All right……"
"Little guy, I don't necessarily have to stop you, but if you want to get in, you have to pass my assessment, because Winterhold College only accepts students with a certain magic base!"
"Don't worry, it's a small test..."
"If you are willing, you can enter and become a member of the academy after passing the test. Maybe I or others will not stop you in the future!"
The female mage found that the little girl was a bit difficult to deal with and it was difficult to beat or scold her. After stopping her again, she finally gave in and prepared to follow the procedure and make her give up completely?
"test?"
∑(??△`)? !
"Test, just test!"
o(*`ー??)o
"Then tell me now, what kind of test is it? Anyway, my magic power is very strong, super strong. No matter what kind of test you do, I won't be afraid of you!"
o(`^??)oHmph!
If she didn't want to go to the Winterhold College openly and have fun, Annie would have teleported and sneaked in, or forced her way in. How could she have been nagging the other party for so long?
"Well……"
"Then let's use magic light!"
"This little spell is useful to any magician. If you can cast it for me, I will let you in. How about it? Can you do it?"
Shrugging her shoulders, the woman didn't seem to want to embarrass a little girl too much, so she told a simple little trick that probably all the mage apprentices in Skyrim knew.
Moreover, that little trick is also very important to the wizards of Winterhold College. It is something that the other party must learn. It is normal for her to use that spell for assessment.
"..."
(??????.??????)????????
"What kind of 'magic light magic' people don't know about that kind of messy magic!"
(lll¬▽¬)
Perhaps Annie must know many kinds of spells with similar effects, but this is the first time she has heard of that kind of 'magic light spell', and she really doesn't know how to do it!
"Won't?"
"Ha! I know you won't!"
"Well, it doesn't matter if you can't. If you think you can learn it... I will be happy to sell you the scroll recording the 'Magic Light Technique' magic at a low price of thirty gold coins. Of course, you can also Go find someone else to buy it. As long as you learn that spell and cast it, I will recognize your qualifications to enter here, and then you can come to me here at any time."
The woman, who felt that the other party could not possibly know it or be rich, shrugged, looked at little Annie with a somewhat joking look, and said teasingly.
Life at the College of Winterhold has not been easy recently...
Because, due to the melee between the Stormcloaks, the Empire, the various lords, and the Snowman City fire demon in the central and southern part of Skyrim, the war swept nearly half of Skyrim. In addition, the main ethnic group in Skyrim Province was originally the Nuo who was good at physical skills. The Germans are naturally not good at magic, and have a natural repulsion and fear of magic users. In addition, the Thalmor and high elves, who are hostile to the Nords, are races that are very good at magic... for other reasons. , so that their Winterhold College was rejected and hostile by the Nords, so that Winterhold had to face serious shortage of students, declining quality and other problems under terrible circumstances.
Therefore, in order to prevent the students who come to the College of Winterhold to learn magic from being left with only those from other provinces and ethnic minorities from Skyrim Province, they, the magic teachers and the chief mage (principal) have already reached a consensus before, as long as people come With the most basic spell-casting abilities, as long as they are willing to learn magic, they will accept anyone who comes!
Of course, if you don't refuse, you won't refuse. However, you still have to charge basic tuition fees and production fees for certain spells, and they are not cheap at all...
Snapped!
"Here! I'll give you gold!"
??(??????~????)o
"Where's the spell? Take it out and let me see. I can learn it now!"
(??╭╮??)
Annie, who was not very happy, threw a small bag of gold coins into the other party's arms, and then reached out to ask for the messy magic light technique.
"ah……"
"Okay, here you go..."
"You can take it back and take a good look at it first. If you can learn it within a month or two, you can come here to see me again?"
Although she was surprised, and although she didn’t quite know where the gold coins the other party gave her came from, she felt that they were of sufficient weight and were not inferior to Septim. After hesitating for a while, the female magician had to Without a smile, he carefully handed a roll of parchment into the small palm of the other person's hand that was open to him.
Even she had never thought that such a little guy actually carried so much money?
"..."
Σ( ̄д ̄;)
"There's no need to wait until later, people have already learned it now!!"
(??????????)Why!
She just spread it out and took a look, and then she impatiently threw the tattered scroll recording the simple trick behind her, letting the parchment worth thirty gold coins blow in the cold wind. Howling and snowflakes fell to the bottom of the ice sea cliff...
"??"
"What? Did you just learn it? Are you kidding me?!"
Seeing the little girl's actions and hearing the other party's angry words, the female magician couldn't help but be stunned.
But obviously, she definitely didn't believe it! So, after first glancing at the spell scroll that was gradually drifting away in the heavy snowstorm and soon completely disappearing, she felt a little distressed and then looked at the little girl with some dissatisfaction.
As a mage, the most important qualities are rigor and pragmatism, because those complicated magic experiments cannot tolerate any mistakes, because magic is very dangerous, and you will hurt yourself first if you are not careful! Therefore, she began to feel a little dissatisfied with the little girl in front of her, and she never believed that she could really learn a spell with just a cursory glance, even the simplest magic light spell!
"I'm not joking!"
??(??`^????)??
“Look if you don’t believe it!!”
??(ψ`▽′)╭????
Without even thinking about it, Annie just stretched out her fingers in a bored manner, and then she threw a dazzling white ball of light directly onto the circular floor pattern with magic patterns behind her, and directly illuminated something above it. Some light blue magic lines.
"ah!!"
"this……"
It turned out to be a magic light technique. Did you really learn it at a glance? !
"Don't you know how to do it a long time ago?"
"Okay, I won't ask anymore, you did a good job, just consider you passed..."
"Well……"
"I think you will definitely become an outstanding newcomer to our College of Winterhold. Anyway, since you passed my test, welcome to you, new apprentice..."
"correct!"
"My name is Faraudah. I am a magic teacher at Winterhold College. I am mainly responsible for the magic of destruction. What is your name, little guy?"
Although it is a bit strange for a little girl to join the College of Winterhold, and although I am a little surprised by the other party's talent, I feel that accepting her does not violate the purpose of the college, and I feel that the other party seems to have money to pay for her daily studies. Lauda, while nodding his head in agreement and acknowledging the other party's entry into the College of Winterhold, did not forget to ask the other party's name.
That spell, that 'Magic Light Technique', whether the other party learned it just at a glance or had learned it before coming here, is enough for her to let her go, because the other party's age proves the other party's talent, that must be it. It's amazing, certainly enough to become a mage student at the College of Winterhold.
"My name is Annie!"
(????????-)??
"Annie?"
"Okay, please come with me. Since you passed my test, let's talk about other things later. Now I will help you light the three energy wells so that we can enter the interior of the Magic Academy."
"Be careful, there is a gap in the bridge ahead, don't fall!"
"There was a big tsunami here before. Although the main body of Winterhold College was intact, the rock pontoon supported by several magic wells was slightly damaged and has not been repaired until now..."
"You saw it too!"
"If you don't know magic light, you won't be able to get in once you get out, so I'm not deliberately making things difficult for you!"
While leading the way, the female mage Farauda reminded her, and at the same time, she stretched out her hand and threw the magic light spell that Anne had just asked her to cast into the magic energy well in front, causing a bright light above. The blue magic energy beam, and at the same time, the entire rock pontoon slowly rotated under the action of the activated energy well, and connected to the next pontoon.
"So that's what it's like..."
(lll¬▽¬)
What Annie actually wanted to say was that she could just teleport or fly over, so she didn't need to light up those boring energy wells and walk on the floating bridge every time!
However, since she just came here and was not familiar with the other party and this magic academy, she didn't say anything more.
"Later, senior wizard Mirabelle will arrange your dormitory for you and take you to visit the college. She is mainly responsible for the reception of newcomers and some miscellaneous things in the college, while I am responsible for the security outside and the review of newcomers... …”
"Don't!"
"Be careful, little one, don't look down!"
"I'm warning you: if you fall, we won't rescue you!!"
Seeing that a certain little guy was clinging to the gap in the pontoon and looking down on tiptoes, Faraudah quickly shouted to stop him.
"..."
(¬▽¬.)
Anne didn't think it was important to take a look, she just took a casual look. How could she fall?
Besides, even if she really falls, she is not afraid, because it is not high here, and she has many ways to land safely, so that she will not be as miserable as the other party said!
