Chapter 36: Crimson (14)
(Cat pounces Chinese http://www.mpzw.com.)
www.mpzw.com) Far from the center of the Empire, Skyrim is a vast province, but the terrain is even more rugged than that of Danmoro, which is surrounded by mountains, and the magnificent but harsh environment and endless monsters make it possible for humans to operate in a narrow area from northwest to southeast.
It has been home to the Nords since ancient times and is ruled by nine lords, including the king.
Later, the explorers of the empire overcame the natural danger and named this magnificent plateau, which is always surrounded by white clouds, 'Skyrim'. When the news reached the imperial capital, the emperor moved his gaze to the large blank space on the map.
The Nords, who were martial by nature, eventually succumbed, and from then on, the kings and lords of the Nords had to be canonized by the Emperor, and the name 'Skyrim' was used in official documents.
"Countless years later, the empire nearly collapsed in an invasion from another world. Qianqian flipped through her shabby manuscript and muttered a few scattered notes, for an adventurer or mercenary, a general understanding of the situation often leads to a longer life.
On the opposite side of the small round table, two Alices are fighting for a piece of hard-looking bread.
"Immediately afterward, the Empire is in the midst of a war with the elves...... ignoring the two Alices, and Qianqian is muttering to herself as she goes over her 'homework'.
"Don't be beaten. ”
"Don't want to. ”
It seems that because Qianqian has repeated it too many times, the little Alices have memorized the content.
The crumbling Empire's grip on the frontier was greatly weakened, and a Nordic nobleman named Ulfrick challenged the loyal king according to ancient tradition and killed him.
Skyrim is divided, with the four counties in the southeast now openly supporting the rebels led by Ulfrick, while the four counties in the northwest remain under the control of the Empire.
The rest, the county between the narrow corridors, its lord was swaying from side to side. Located on the plains in the heart of Skyrim Province, the fertile land and abundant population of this territory give its lord the strength to maneuver between the two powers.
Qianqian, who is with her child, is currently living in the suburbs of the capital of this territory, which is called Snow City.
Traveling all the way from the southeast, Qianqian, whose brown hair was often mistaken for an Imperial, was finally relieved, and the inhabitants of Snowman City did not seem to be very hostile to the Imperials, and she even took a job as an orchard keeper at a winery.
The sky is getting darker and darker, and when today's sunset is about to die, it is time for Qianqian to go out to work.
Before leaving, Qianqian advised: "Go to bed quickly, if someone you don't know comes, shout, don't attack him, you know?"
"It's annoying, let's go!"
"Stupid!
The children didn't seem to be very obedient, and after a while, the brown-haired girl had to coax and say, "I'll bring back good food at dawn, and now I'll go to bed obediently."
Even Qianqian herself felt that the so-called 'delicious' couldn't coax these two little souls at all.
"We'll sleep obediently, goodbye to Mother Qianqian. ”
One Alice said with big eyes in a wink. The other simply pounced on Qianqian, rubbing her head against her thigh like a kitten and muttering, "Mother Qianqian is so beautiful today." ”
……
There was no light at all, the stale air, and the slimy smell.
Without even thinking about it, Loria was sure that she was underground, and with many years of experience living underground, she tried to hold her breath the moment she regained consciousness, and crouched quietly on the ground motionless.
No one knows what lies hidden in the darkness, and the disgusting cave creatures are known for their extremely keen hearing and perception.
She suppressed her breath vigorously as she tried to sense her surroundings to make sure the danger was imminent.
Unfortunately, her companions didn't seem to be well suited to the complete darkness, and even more so they weren't far away.
In a cavern that may have been silent for hundreds of years, the sound of armor grinding was so loud.
Loria gritted her teeth in hatred, praying inwardly that there were no aggressive creatures nearby.
"Where is this?" someone tried to suppress his feelings, and said in a rather calm tone, worthy of the most elite blood knight, even if he lost his sight when he first entered another world, he could maintain his sanity.
What is this...... What is it...... Which......
The calm voice echoed over and over again, giving one a rough idea of being in a large cavern, and there was apparently a lot of similar space around it.
Loria bit her fingers vigorously, praying in her heart that there would be no waves of aggressive creatures in the entire area.
"Ah!!h
A scream as if it was about to pierce the darkness came to mind, sounding like Claudia's voice from the priestess.
"What a faint weapon!" Claudia roared, "The old lady's ass seems to bleed!"
Then there was a muffled sound and the sound of someone falling to the ground, as if someone had been brought down with a one-handed hammer.
"You idiot woman...... It's not me ......."
"Duoduo! What's wrong with you!"
"Miss, where are you?"
"I can't feel the light...... It seems to be in a very distant place. ”
"Meow~"
There was a moment when my heart couldn't resist and wanted to roar from my soul.
Spell Card [Lori's Soul Roar] ****************************
The creature that walks in complete darkness is always silent, you don't know where it is, or even if it's there.
The underground world has the rules of the underground world, and the competition here is often not about strength, but about perception, patience, and who will launch a sneak attack first.
The Scarlet Knights are now at an overwhelming disadvantage, having been temporarily sealed by the Lady for hearing after being sealed by darkness for their vision. They are accustomed to forgetting their lives and death, shouting and fighting, and catching a person to death, they don't even know where their opponents are, or if they have no opponents at all.
The knights scattered in a small circle around each other, enclosing the four priests and Loria in the middle, nervously shielding the few uncovered positions with their weapons, ready to slash at the first enemy.
Praise the Light, the tailors' miraculous little backpacks work even in the Otherworld, and the priests fumble with their wraps, trying to light a fire—fearless when the light comes.
Loria also searched for useful props in the small bag on her skirt, whether it was a firearm or explosives...... There is no armor, and the strength is only ordinary little girl Cheng Dù, she said that she could not be killed with just one blow.
The feeling of being watched was getting stronger and stronger, and at this moment, she didn't care about moving too much to attract attention, and began to rummage indiscriminately.
When she grabbed several handfuls of candy in a row, an attack from an unknown creature suddenly came.
