A few days ago, the chief mage of Winterhold College and Tovdir and other mages tried their best to research the stone they found in the ruins of Sathur City. And a treasure named 'Eye of Magnus' was retrieved through the magic wells with beacon effects in the academy.
Soon, most of the mages in the entire Winterhold College began to conduct relevant research around the 'Eye of Magnus', which contained powerful energy, and the students' courses were naturally taken first. Put it aside.
As for certain problems faced by a little girl student who had talked to the chief mage and had used spells to 'counterattack' her mentor, the little girl who had received much attention did not know whether it was intentional or unintentional. It was gradually ignored and forgotten by the mages of Winterhold College.
In fact, it's okay not to ignore it, because now almost all the mages in Winterhold College are paying attention to the 'Eye of Magnus' that releases powerful energy... For those who have been digging for countless years This is the first time for the College of Winterhold to have unearthed such a magical thing that seems to contain extremely powerful energy. If they cannot study it properly or make use of it, they will probably have trouble sleeping and eating. of!
but……
That kind of thing has nothing to do with Anne, because she is also happy that no one will disturb her anymore, allowing her to roam and explore freely in the College of Winterhold and the town outside, that is, in and around Winterhold. With.
Of course, if that town can be called a 'city'?
When she first came to Winterhold, Anne had always thought that the small town outside Winterhold College was just a settlement based on Winterhold College, just like the town outside Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Same as Hogsmeade?
But who would have thought that that small town was actually the real Winterhold City? !
Of course, if we were to put it more accurately, it should be called a small part of the once extremely prosperous Winterhold City?
Because at that time, according to the records Anne saw in the library, in the 122nd year of the Fourth Era, a huge tsunami and earthquake occurred in the Winterhold Territory. Most of the once prosperous Winterhold was destroyed. Except for the Winterhold College, which was intact and now Outside the so-called Winterfort City, the entire city disappeared overnight...
Therefore, rumors such as "the tsunami was caused by the experiments of Winterhold College" and "Winterhold College deliberately used tsunamis to attack the territory" began to spread in Winterhold. This basically intensified the conflict between Winterhold College and the territorial residents and feudal lords. This is also the reason why Anne received vague hostility and cold treatment after wandering around in this Winterfortress during this period and explaining that she was a mage.
"Uh huh huh..."
????(????`??)??????
However, whether it was cold treatment or hostility, for Anne, as long as those people did not interfere and affect her play and wandering, she was too lazy to pay attention to them... because she knew some inside stories from those books. That tsunami may have nothing to do with the College of Winterhold, but rather the Annihilation Crisis or the Red Mountain eruption in Morrowind Province. After all, Winterhold is a territorial sea city, and it is not too far from Morrowind. In a super volcano It is normal for people to be affected by the tsunami caused by a major earthquake.
However, Annie definitely couldn't explain that kind of thing to those illiterate Nords. It's unlikely that those guys with extremely low literacy levels would understand the inevitable connection between earthquakes and tsunamis!
Moreover, her recent visit to Winterhold was almost over. She had already visited most of Winterhold, visited the ruins of the Sky Temple Temple, visited the altar of the demon god Azura, and demolished a large For half of the gods, little Annie who also went to sweep the Shadow Sanctuary, as more and more people know her in Winterhold, she almost has to change places to continue causing harm to Skyrim.

'! ! '
'ah! ! '
'Help! ! '
'Run! Monster! '
'What it is? ! '
'Hurry, go and report to the lord! Go quickly! ! '
'Uh ah ah...'
'No! ! '
'...'
Suddenly, Anne, who was wandering around in the snow in Winterhold City and about to go back to Winterhold College to get some things, suddenly heard people's noisy, chaotic and shrill cries for help coming from the front.
"Eh?"
(??????.??????)????????
"What's going on..."
|????ω??`)?
Then, when she was curious and ran towards the direction of the sound with her short legs, what she saw was one by one of violent arcane energy groups, which were similar to mana. Something like a floating dragon is causing trouble in the "city area" of Winterhold and arbitrarily attacking the buildings and the few remaining residents of Winterhold?
"Uh-oh!"
!(;??o??)o
"Did those stupid guys in the academy blow up the Eye of Magnus?"
∑(っ°Д°;)っ
Anne had seen the so-called 'Eye of Magnus' a few days ago. It was nothing more than a magical device with relatively powerful energy. It was no big deal.
Therefore, she turned a blind eye to it when it was brought back to the Hall of Elements by their mages and the old principal Savos Aran a few days ago, and she never thought about participating in their actions. In bad things.
But who would have thought that now she discovered that the energy in the Castle of Winterhold College was extremely chaotic, and even in Winterhold City, there was that kind of chaotic arcane energy similar to the mana floating dragon?
"It seems to be true..."
(???ω??????‖)??
Of course Annie knows the mana dragon. There were many of them in Quel'Thalas and other areas with abnormal mana in the world of Azeroth, and they were concentrated in areas where arcane energy exploded, especially in the Sun. After the well was detonated?
However, what appears in front of Annie now is just some chaotic arcane energy with a little chaotic consciousness. It seems to be a long way from the formed mana floating dragon.
'Help...'
'Ah! ! '
'Run! '
'This way, come here quickly...'
'Wow! ! '
"..."
|??˙??˙)?
"Okay then, I'll just help you out..."
??(ψ??????ˇ????)????
Seeing the chaos in the city and the abnormal energy in Winterhold College in the distance, Anne felt that she should help a little before leaving, so she resolutely grabbed a ball of fire and let it emit a huge fireball. Arcane energy.
Then, directly let the dissipated arcane energy attract the chaotic magic visions formed by the excessive magic energy that are running around in the distance and attacking the people in the house.
'! ! '
'? ! '
Sure enough, just after Annie took action, the chaotic magic visions that were wandering around and attacking were like sharks that smelled blood. They stopped quickly, turned around and sped towards Annie.
To those chaotic magical visions, the small fireball exuding pure arcane energy in the hands of a little girl is fatally attractive! As for them with chaotic consciousness, they only know how to destroy and attack to release their magic power, so they definitely have no reason to refuse.
"Hey!"
(???????????????)??~
"Arcane Torrent~!!"
??(??`▽????)╭????
Arcane Torrent, it is the high elves of Quel'Thalas who use their own arcane-friendly bodies to instantly absorb the magic elements within a few yards of the surroundings, and put the surroundings into a state of elemental disorder, thus causing the surrounding area to be in a state of elemental disorder within a certain distance. A small spell that prevents the enemy from casting spells for a certain period of time to achieve the effect of silencing the enemy.
However, the arcane torrent that Annie cast at this time did not absorb the surrounding magical elements. Instead, it instantly absorbed and disintegrated the magical energy of the magical images that were attracted and besieged towards her, and gave them to Gathered at his fingertips, he achieved the goal of easily destroying them.
"Ha! Such a little thing still wants to attack others?"
??(ψ`▽′)????
After instantly disintegrating dozens of small things similar to mana dragons, Annie pouted boringly at the ball of arcane energy she held in her hand.
In her previous conjecture, their appearance was simply due to the rampage of energy from the 'Eye of Magnus'... But look now, after she took action to directly and forcibly deprive them of the chaotic energy, I found that it was indeed the energy in that big ball!
So, what has not been said is that the mages in the College of Winterhold must have been randomly studying or stimulating the big ball 'Eye of Magnus', so that they caused such a mess?
Looking at the current chaotic Winterhold city, the frightened residents and the destroyed houses, Anne doesn't have to think about it to know that this time, Winterhold College will definitely be even more disgusted by the Nords here!
After all, if there was no definite evidence that the previous tsunami that caused most of the city to disappear and countless people of Winterhold to be buried in the sea was caused by some evil experiments at the College of Winterhold, then this time, even if they don't understand Everyone who knows magic also knows that what happened today must be related to the castle in the distance that was faintly bursting with magical energy amidst the howling cold wind and snow. That Winterhold College must be the culprit of this incident!
"!!"
Suddenly, at this time, before Annie could do anything else, two mages from afar ran towards Annie quickly.
"??"
It turned out that it was the destruction mage Faraudah and another mage Anel. They originally planned to destroy the magical anomalies causing trouble in Winterhold City, but unexpectedly, not long after they ran out, They had just eliminated one or two, and they saw that the visions seemed to be attracted by something, and they swarmed towards this side?
And when they rushed over out of curiosity, they were shocked to find out: It was the new student, the little girl who joined Winterhold College more than ten days ago, who had done something good?
That little guy, she actually used some unknown means to absorb a dozen magical visions at once, absorbing all their magical energy in an instant and concentrating it on her fingertips to form a magical energy that contained a lot of energy. A small ball of light of earthly energy? !
"this……"
"Annie! You, how did you do it..."
"etc!"
"No! If you have this kind of power, why do you want to come to the College of Winterhold to study? Who are you?!"
Subconsciously, after seeing the little girl's performance, Faraudah, who was responsible for guarding the gate of Winterhold College and reviewing new recruits, felt that both of them were far inferior to each other, and they were even less able to instantly convert a dozen magical creatures like the other. As if she had been completely wiped out, she finally realized something, and exclaimed and asked with some vigilance and suspicion.
To be honest, if she hadn't known that what was happening at Winterhold College had nothing to do with the little girl in front of her, she might have already taken action and attacked, right?
"Really..."
(ˉ▽ ̄~)Cut~~
"Didn't I tell you at that time that my magic power is very strong, super powerful, and there are a lot of magics? What's the fuss about this?!"
??(ψ`▽′)??
Under the frightened eyes of the Faraudah and Anel mages opposite, Annie grabbed the energy ball in her hand and wiped it out. Anne, who was not worried that it would backfire or blow up her hand, then patted it with satisfaction. He clapped his hands and said nonchalantly.
"Hello!"
o(??????????) o??
"Can any of you tell me what is going on in the College of Winterhold? Why does the energy inside suddenly become violent? There seems to be a mana storm vortex that is gradually expanding?"
(??????.??????)????????
Compared to the magical anomalies that she had easily wiped out just now, Anne was obviously more concerned about the situation at Winterhold College. Originally, she was planning to go back to the College of Winterhold to get some things, but now something went wrong... So, if possible, if it was not troublesome, she would definitely not mind helping out a little bit.
'...'
'...'
Although there was still some hesitation about the other party's power and true identity, after looking at each other and Anel, Faraudah felt that this matter had nothing to do with the other party, so he sighed and said:
"That's right..."
"There is indeed something big going on in the academy!"
"The Thalmor magical advisor Ancanor launched a rebellion! He didn't know why, but he suddenly attacked the 'Eye of Magnus' and controlled its energy, and also killed the chief mage Savos Aran. , Tovdir also suffered a lot of injuries. Now that guy has completely sealed the elemental hall with a shield like an energy storm. We can't attack in to stop him, so we have to come out and eliminate him first. Those magical anomalies that escaped from Winterhold Castle..."
Although she still subconsciously felt that the other party might not be able to help them, Faraudah felt that it was okay to talk, so she briefly explained what she knew to the little girl who had just helped them eliminate those difficult things. Go through what happened.
"!!"
(??????д??????)!!!
"What? That bad old man, the principal, and the chief mage are also dead? How is this possible? That pointy-eared Ancano family knows that, with his little ability, there is no way he can defeat that bad old man!!"
=???????(??????*)
Anne was obviously not willing to believe this, because the elf's power obviously couldn't deal with Savos Aran, the chief mage!
After all, that bad old man not only has great magic power, but he is also very cunning. He even discovered his identity and disguise early on. How could such a cunning old man be killed by Ancano?
Even a sneak attack is unlikely!
Who in the College of Winterhold doesn't know that? On weekdays, that bad old man and the Thalmor consultant who always likes to dictate college affairs have never been very harmonious. How could they be easily attacked by the bad guy when they were on guard?
"..."
"Although it is a pity, the Chief Mage is indeed dead. His body is now lying in the courtyard of the castle..."
"The power of the 'Eye of Magnus' is beyond all of our imaginations. We are really in trouble this time."
Shaking her head, Faraudah still frustratedly told the fact that made all the mages at Winterhold College feel extremely aggrieved and indignant.
"..."
(ー`??ー)
"Really dead? Really, why is he so useless!!"
s (????ˇεˇ????)ゞ
She raised her head and frowned and glanced at the location of the Castle of Winterhold College. She found a certain chief mage named Savos Aran. After discovering that the shrewd and annoying old dark elf seemed to be really dead, Anne thought After thinking about it, he raised his head angrily and strode towards the castle.
Because, even though that bad old man was indeed pissed off, there were some things she always had to do.
'? ? '
'! ! '
'Hello! Little one, where are you going now? ! '
They watched blankly as the other party walked around them. Neither Faraudah nor Anel dared to stop him or do anything more. They just saw that the other party had walked a long distance and saw that the other party was already in Winterfort. There were a long series of footprints left on the snow in the city, and after seeing that the other party's destination seemed to be the bridge of the college, he hurriedly asked.
"Of course I'm going to the academy to deal with that bad guy Ancano!!"
|??????ω????)????
Annie wouldn't tell them that she herself had already disliked the pointy-eared guy!
Because the other party actually bossed her around several times, interfered with her going to the library to read more interesting story books, and destroyed several books with negative records about Thalmor, so that she couldn't even read them. After finishing those complete 'stories', she had long been looking for an opportunity to beat him up!
Now that it's okay, the other party launched a rebellion and killed the chief mage, a bad old man who she didn't hate too much, so she had to do whatever she said and beat the other party to vent her anger.
Maybe……
Maybe she would let her little bear Tibbs out and let him bite that guy's head off to let him know how powerful she was?
(…)
??????????
↑Super fierce!
'! ! '
'you……'
'Hello! Little guy, are you kidding me? Are you sure you can beat him? ! '
If he hadn't just seen the other party eliminate those magical anomalies with ease, Faraudah would definitely not believe that the other party could deal with that Ancano! Therefore, while chasing after Anel, she couldn't help but asked again in a strange way.
"Well!"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
"Don't worry too much about small things like that. You'll know later whether you can survive or not?"
(????????-)??
'But! '
'Now, Ancano has used the power of the Eye of Magnus to control the academy. He has blocked the Hall of Elements with an energy vortex. We will definitely not be able to enter! ! '
Chief Mages Savos Aran and Tovdir also tried to enter before, and they did succeed!
However, it is a pity that before the two of them had time to do anything, and before the chief mage Savos Aran had time to take away the head of the Thalmor advisor Ancano, the other party directly used the Eye of Magnus. ' was blown to death by the power of the opponent... And now, the Element Hall is also completely protected by the opponent's more powerful energy vortex. No matter who it is, it will definitely not be able to enter.
"People know!"
(??????????)Why!
However, Annie, who was trotting quickly in front, didn't listen at all.
She just responded indiscriminately, and then continued to trot and skip on the snow, bounding towards the Academy Castle, completely ignoring the dead and injured residents on both sides of the streets of Winterfort who were either frightened, confused, or angry. A hostile look.
'etc! '
'Although I don't know who you are, little guy, I advise you to give up! '
'Tovdir and Mirabell are trying to control the situation inside, and other students and mages have also been evacuated. What's the use of going in now? '
'Hello! '
'Stop it! It's dangerous inside! ! '
'? ? '
'listen to me! '
'Only by finding the Staff of Magnus can we break the energy vortex, break through to the Hall of Elements and defeat Ancanor! '
After chasing after each other until they reached the bridge of Winterhold College, Faraudah and Anel stopped.
They did not continue to catch up because they still had their own mission. They had to discuss it with the other mages and find a way to find the staff she just mentioned as soon as possible! Otherwise, Winterhold College would really be in ruins this time!
Although that Thalmor bastard and Ancano are not very powerful, in the current situation, no one can be his opponent. Anyway, with the powerful power of the 'Eye of Magnus', They can't think of any good solution for the time being.
"Maybe……"
o(*??︶??*)o
"But, it doesn't matter if people go in and take a look anyway!"
o(??▽`)o =3 =3 =3
Anne ignored the dissuasion of the two people. After knowing the truth of the matter and feeling that there seemed to be nothing fun here, she just wanted to quickly solve the problem at Winterhold College, get her things and go If they were wandering around somewhere else, she wouldn't wait for them to slowly look for the 'Staff of Magnus' that they didn't know where it was, or even whether it was useful!
Moreover, in Annie's opinion, it is just a breaking ball containing powerful arcane energy. What's the big deal even if it activates the energy vortex shield?
Just wait and see, she has plenty of ways to deal with that guy named Ancanor, and deal with the Thalmor advisor who does no good things in the College of Winterhold every day!
(…)
(● ̄(??) ̄●)
"Besides, who told you to think about archeology all day long, and then dig up other people's graves and take the dead people's belongings?!"
(???????????????)
"Look, something big has finally happened now, right?"
(????ω????) Deserve it!
After making a face at the two slightly shocked guys, Anne turned around and ran towards the bridge, never caring whether the two of them had any other ideas.
