To deal with swordsmen, bows and arrows should be used. Against cavalry, pikes should be used. To deal with birds of prey, a snare should be used. To deal with behemoths, you should use a throwing spear.

This is common sense, and even a three-year-old child in Skyrim Province can know it very clearly.

However, does anyone know what to use against a dragon?

Does anyone know what to use against a mythical beast that is hundreds of feet long, has a wingspan of nearly 1,000 feet, is infinitely powerful, invulnerable, and can freely use all kinds of powerful dragon roars? this

Does no one know?

No, it's the same, even a three-year-old can know it.

For the law that dragons' scales cannot resist ebony weapons has long been spread throughout Tamriel through ancient poetry, literature, and even nursery rhymes and myths. For thousands of years, I don't know how many little girls fantasized about becoming the bride of the legendary dragon slayer warriors, nor how many little boys had dreams of pulling up the ebony sword and becoming a dragon slaying hero.

It's common sense, so everyone knows it.

And now, a dragon has emerged from mythology. And the other protagonist of the myth, the ebony blade capable of piercing dragon scales, has also been quietly held in Alice's hand.

The only sticking point, then, is how to get the sword-wielding man to the dragon's side.

…………………………

[It's a little strange.] 】

It's not difficult to hang yourself on a city crossbow, but it's not so easy to hang on a crossbow arrow. And if the bolt still has to perform its function - to make a hole in something with a flying posture - this is called even more difficult.

Alice now hung herself on the tower's crossbow arrow, one of her hands holding an ebony blade and the other embedded in the arrows of the crossbow in a semi-metallic state. The so-called unity of human arrows by ancient archers, she can be said to have done it to the fullest. Even the best shooter can't do better than her.

And that's part of her plan.

Attract the dragon over, then get yourself up and finally hack the dragon to death. Three simple and neat steps, as long as you don't have to travel, you will be able to succeed.

Well, as long as you don't cuò......

Alice...... Miss? Lydia, who was in charge of calibration in the plan, whispered unconfidently: "This kind of plan...... Is it really feasible? ”

"As long as you don't shoot me missed." Alice replied without looking back: "If the angle is off, I will probably have to fall directly to the ground, and maybe it will turn into a cake." ”

"Definitely won't be biased!" Lydia vetoed her firmly, saying, "But...... This ballista ...... Is it really possible to shoot that high? ”

Gesturing, she struggled to explain, "I mean, what if that dragon flies too fast, or too high?" ”

"Oh," Alice shook her head absently. "Then it's up to Ruby."

She said casually, pretending to be in control. However, the doubts in my heart became more and more vigorous.

[This ebony blade...... There is a problem. 】

She didn't know what the problem should be, but she had a feeling...... The Ebony Blade, it shouldn't be like this. It should be entangled in an eerie and dim aura, it should echo with the whispers in the void, it should be filled with a deep red and bloody blood, it should be filled with a cold and piercing extreme cold!

It shouldn't be like it is now, with no difference from other normal weapons except for its appearance and material. It may be sharper and stronger, but it only takes a simple enchantment ritual to do so. And the preciousness of ebony is naturally impossible to talk about.

And more importantly...... She shouldn't be so familiar with this sword.

Obviously, it was only the first time, and it took less than ten minutes for Ming Ming to touch this pitch-black weapon. But the sense of familiarity that comes from the palm of your hand is something that can only be possessed by at least dozens or hundreds of people who have slashed it with it.

This, it shouldn't.

Alice was sure that she had never used this type of two-handed weapon before. Or rather, I haven't even seen it.

So, what's going on?

Just as she squinted her eyes slightly and thought. Suddenly, a large flame erupted in the street not far away!

It's Ruby! She did it!

The next moment, a large cloud of colorful phosgene exploded in midair. The dazzling fluorescent swells, dyeing the surrounding sky a strange red.

Fireworks, decorations made of ** and all kinds of metal dust. This popular knick-knack in Sirodil is not common in Skyrim, so there are only a few stocks in the warehouses of the major cities, and only a few are placed during the festival to attract attention.

This kind of thing is very effective in mobilizing the atmosphere of the crowd during the holiday.

Changing the target to a dragon may be even better.

Because fireworks are not something with a long history. This delicate little artifact was not seen on the continent of Tamriel during the years when the dragon soared through the sky. That is, this is something completely unknown to the dragon.

People, there is curiosity.

Dragon, untasted does not have the same su zhì.

Sure enough, just as Ruby set off the fireworks, the dragon that was raging in the distance jerked around and flew in her direction.

And the direction Ruby chose was naturally within the bombardment range of the giant ballista.

"It's coming, get ready." Alice whispered.

The next moment, the bolt flew out with her.

[This is what it feels like to fly in the sky?] It's just average. 】

In the sky, the girl who was walking quickly lowered her head slightly. In her vision, the city shrunk, the streets thinned, and the whole snowfall was rapidly becoming smaller.

The air chirped sharply around her. Not far ahead, the shadow of an airfoil was rapidly magnifying.

[Oh, is it the same feeling when you fall from Ustengla?] 】

[Hmm...... Why did I think of that place? 】

The girl blinked her eyes, and more doubts came out of her heart. However, at this time, there is not so much spare time for her to think about everything. Right in front of her, the shadow of the dragon was already clearly visible!

Wait a minute!!!

Why Shadows!?

Before Alice's brain could react, her body had already reacted spontaneously. Her hand that connected to the crossbow suddenly let go, and the next moment, the ebony blade she was holding was already on top of the dragon's head!

- Thorn!!

The powerful kinetic energy turned into the force of the impact, and accurately penetrated the shadow dragon's body. And at this moment, the world in front of Alice's eyes ...... Shattered.

Ah, like glass, crumbling into a heap of shards.

However, this is not entirely true. In Alice's perception, she was still in the position she had just been, fighting with the shadowy dragon.

Two Alices, two worlds.

An Alice is in the middle of a complete world, battling the shadow dragon. The other Alice stood in the shattered world, watching the struggle on the other side through the cracks that looked like fragments of mirrors.

And what governs both bodies is the same consciousness.

"I'm sorry, but I have to use this to communicate with you. But if you don't, there's no way to hide from her. ”

In the midst of the shattered world, such a voice suddenly sounded.

"Who are you?" Alice, who was watching, turned her head sharply, but saw nothing. The next moment she turned around, a sharp pain suddenly came from the girl's left arm.

"Woo......"

Left hand, severed.

It was as if he had been bitten by a beast, and terrible tooth marks appeared on his mutilated limbs.

"Don't be distracted and concentrate on the fight." The voice said with some urgency. "Don't show your feet, let 'her' know and it's over."

Alice bit her lip slightly. At the moment when she was distracted by the other world, she was bitten by a dragon during the battle because of this, and the arm of her left hand had been completely broken.

She had to fight the dragon with only one hand.

Thankfully, her enemies were worse than her. The impact of the fall from the sky was almost completely absorbed by the shadow dragon, one of its wings broken, and its right forepaw twisted.

Well, there is still a fight!

The girl snorted softly and greeted her again.

Who are you and what do you want to say? 】

"I'm on your side." The voice said, "You don't have to be too wary, my purpose is all about helping you." ”

[People who casually break into other people's heads, what they say is not convincing! ] 】

Alice said this to the voice as she moved rapidly. Taking advantage of the dragon's injury, she easily maneuvered to the side where the dragon's wings were injured, and with a single sword, she brought out a large puddle of ink-like blood.

"You don't need to believe, you just need to know. You are not alone in your struggle with [her]. ”

Who is she? 】

"Haven't you fully recovered your memory?" The voice smacked of bewilderment, but it was immediately natural again. "That's okay, when you wake up, you'll naturally remember the current one."

What do you mean? Am I dreaming? 】

"It's a dream, but it's not true. It doesn't matter, though. I've already staked my chips on you, so I'll have to make the necessary contributions. As for the rest...... You don't need to think about it. There is only one thing you need to pay attention to......"

Alice frowned, and she jerked out of the way, dodging a fiery breath of dragon's breath. Then, with a sword stabbed diagonally upwards, the ebony blade stabbed into the dragon's throat.

The voice became faint. At the end of the day, she only left a short sentence.

"[Her]'s first move comes from the internal ......"

The next moment, with the death of the dragon. Everything in front of Alice's eyes began to blur.

Dreams, it's time to wake up.

PS: Dig a pit and bury yourself......
