My name is Akatosh,

Well...... Where to go first?

"Not only can you see through the traps in the labyrinth, but you can also solve them, which is not something that ordinary mages can do, you are really young and promising." Hakong complimented the elven mage.

After making contact with her and having a brief conversation, Hakon had given up on her plans to use coercion, and although she looked young, she was experienced in adventure, and she was always wary of herself, a "wealthy nobleman who visited famous ruins under the protection of her bodyguards", and did not reveal her name or origin at all.

However, with the support of Hakong's own vast experience, even the slightest clue she revealed was enough to analyze.

First of all, the word "trial" means that she is organized, but neither the Mage Guild in the Southern Cerrodil Province nor the Mage Academy in Skyrim Province can give her apprentice such an exaggerated trial as "solo exploration of Brasilin An", combined with her strange appearance and teleportation spell, the answer is already coming out - Somo.

Secondly, there is the purpose, why did Somo explore Blasilin Ann? Of course, in order to find out the details of the Mage Academy, although the ruins have been cleaned up once by the mages of the Order of Atayumu a few years ago, if you carefully explore and summarize it, you can still get the core information about the Mage Academy, which is not difficult but cumbersome, so it is called "Trial".

In the end, it was the purpose of her visit to the "Salidor Labyrinth", it was clear that she was a powerful mage, and she had no interest in this kind of complicated and inefficient work, and she would rather try to solve the labyrinth that was still a puzzle to this day, and besides, Shalido was the founder of the Mage Academy, and if she could get information about him, it would be much more helpful than cleaning up the ruins there.

In conclusion, she is indeed a trustless person who can be used, but if the attempt to use it is seen, she will immediately turn her face, and at this time, they will be allowed to follow only because of their "noble" status, so if you want to borrow her hand to open the well of souls, you must use various means to make her think that it is actually her own decision.

For example, praise her for being young and strong, and no difficulties will be difficult for her, so that she will rise to the occasion at some point.

But don't worry about exaggeration, real elves of hundreds or thousands of years will not maintain such a young appearance, they generally prefer to appear as mature, steady, and elegant - just like themselves.

"Oh ~ young...... "The black-haired and black-eyed female mage held her face with her hand without a staff: "How young?" Compare...... How about Imperial Princesses? ”

Somo's identity was reconfirmed, and he was still a participant in the "Scarlet Embassy Incident", could it be that he had something to do with Ambassador Alan Wen? There is no inference due to insufficient intelligence, and it is always right to continue to say good things, but the facts must not be distorted.

"Of course you are not as young as her, after all, the elves are only children when they are teenagers," Hakong said without a leak, "but she is much more beautiful than the princess of the Empire." ”

"......" The female mage didn't speak, but Hakong, who had excellent eyes, could see that she seemed to want to hook the corners of her mouth, but she restrained herself.

There is a door to this topic! Someone must have praised the princess's appearance in front of her, and for Hakong, who is a vampire, it is completely impossible to judge the beauty of living creatures, and at this time, as long as she praises it, there is absolutely no disobedience.

"It is said that the princess has dark skin." "And the hair is a weird purple color, too."

"I cover half of my face with a scarf all year round." "And very short."

"Although the sharp-eyed eagle praised her as 'the most lovely in the world'", "but most of it is just under pressure from the emperor." ”

Hearn, who had not been able to interject, finally had a chance to speak, and he had a tacit understanding with Hakong to praise someone, and sometimes it may be counterproductive to praise them bluntly, but if you belittle a third person she doesn't have a good impression of, and who is in stark contrast in some ways, to indirectly praise them, it will basically get a miracle effect.

This mage's hair and eyes are pure black, his skin is relatively white, and he is tall, although his appearance is not too beautiful, but at least he is middle-class among the elves.

"Huhu-" The female mage raised her hand to cover her mouth and laughed, although she couldn't see her expression clearly, her eyes had been bent into crescent moons.

Seem...... Probably a success...... But why do you feel a chill in your back?

"No," the vampire master and servant said when they heard the mage say, "if we kill him, who will show us the way?" ”

Before Hakong could comprehend the meaning of the sentence, he fell straight down from the empty ground under his feet, and the familiar, strange and distorted scenery around him made him scream.

"Coldharbour!?"

——13:25——

As a result of his condescending observations, Arthur had a clear idea of what was going on below.

As Emilia Septin prepares to stab the dagger, Zela Pesh takes the lead and kicks the two vampires into the well of souls that emerges nearby.

The princess looked very angry, pulled down her scarf and glared at the mage, but she just smiled and reached out to touch her head: "Well, it's actually a healthy wheat color, not black at all, and as for the hair, it's a beautiful violet." ”

Under the stunned gaze of Razhe Parasos on the side, the princess was so appeased.

"[It seems-]" Arthur landed with Babas, and changed back into human form, "There is no chance for me to make a move, first meeting, Her Royal Highness the Princess, Lady Zela Pesh." ”

At present, he has met the Baron of Winterhold and the chief mage of the Mage Academy, and it seems that she and Princess Emilia are also more familiar, and although they have heard of each other, they have never "really" seen only him and the princess, and in that "illusion", he is not sure that the other party is also real.

“…… Baron Xueman is indeed a fool. The princess uttered a familiar phrase in an almost indistinguishable tone, only replacing the word "originally" with "sure enough."

"Well, it seems that we don't need to introduce ourselves to each other," Arthur shrugged and pointed to the depths of the labyrinth, "I'm here to find a way to go to the Well of Souls in Songard, and I'm going to find a way to defeat 'Alduin', and I've brought a dirt dog with me." ”

"As for me, I was commissioned by Atayu's mother and the vigilant to find the realm of [Morag Bal] and completely eliminate the guy who only has thirty percent of his strength." Zela responded, "Also, go to the Well of Souls to find one of my holy girlfriends, and bring ...... Well, brought an artifact? ”

That's the Staff of Magnus, Arthur looked at the staff in Zela's hand, and there were so many things that it seemed to overlap with one of his tasks? He turned his gaze to the princess: "Amir? ”

I don't know why, although there is the pressure of the world-destroying dragon, the environment at this time makes Arthur feel very relaxed, and after subconsciously calling out the nickname of the princess, he realizes that he seems not qualified to call it that.

“…… Pass by. Naturally, Amir replied, "Bring a parasos." ”

The Sharp-Eyed Eagle Scout Captain had a pitiful "I'm not a judge" expression.

"Okay, I already know the specifics, but the 'Well of Souls' isn't something that can be switched on and off at will, I just kicked those two vampires down, and it will only connect to the 'Cold Harbor' for a certain amount of time." Zela tapped the ground with her staff.

The chaotic, deep, bottomless vortex-like entrance to the Well of the Soul appeared nearby, it was loose and broken, not a whole, and it resembled a broken mirror, although it could be seen as a huge vortex overall, a smaller vortex could be found on each "fragment".

"Please let me help, it's rare that all the 'Dragonborn' have gathered." Arthur said that in addition to the reason why he would feel relaxed with them, there were also concerns about "the evil of this world", if what Alduin said was right, Zela and the princess, who also had a large network, were also "evil of this world", and belonged to the object of his extermination, if they didn't meet them, it was okay, since they had already met, then it was his responsibility to protect them.

“…… I'm not in a hurry, Barguf's affairs can wait. Amir replied.

Unfortunate lord, the princess has promised a lot to do with the Imperial legions and Storm Cloaks that are besieging the snowman, so try to do it as quickly as possible.

"Words from both of you—" Zela looked at Babas and Parathos.

"Wang! I'm going to follow the Master! "My duty is to keep the princess safe, wherever she goes."

"Okay then." Zela swung her staff, and a swirl fragment shifted widely, just big enough for everyone to stand on, and the next moment, the vortex that had been like a still picture spun, and Arthur felt a drop under his feet.

"Don't try to use the flying, slowfalling, or airborne abilities, or you'll be in trouble falling into other Oblivion Realms—" Zerapes' voice was ethereal as he was traversing the Overworld and the Oblivion Realm, but it was inexplicably familiar to Arthur.

[Let me ask, are you my Master?] 】

"I-" Arthur turned in Zela's direction, and was about to say something, but in the next instant, the strange twisted vortex around him had completely disappeared, and four people and a dog appeared directly in the sky.

“MasterMasterMaster——! Death Wang! Barbas's barking shattered Arthur's thoughts shattered in an instant.

"I understand why Will always wants to kill you!" Arthur grabbed the dog, which was fluttering in the air, before looking around.

The sky was an eerie blood-red, the cold wind was blowing high above, and as far as the eye could see, there were swamps, and in the endless swamps, there stood a multitude of cities, some Nordic, some elven, and even dwarven steam, but without exception, all of them were old, deserted, and dilapidated, as if they had not been inhabited for hundreds or thousands of years—but they were not.

In those abandoned cities, there are many shadowy figures, who look like emaciated and withered humans, but they are extremely agile and ferocious.

“…… It's not the same as 'Eternal Twilight'. Arthur heard the princess murmur, it seemed that she had had a wonderful experience too.

"Hmm...... It doesn't seem like it's going to be useful to kick those two guys down," Zela said, "Note that the Coldhaven Realm of Annihilation contains all the destroyed cities in the world of Nairn, and the enemies are vampire prototypes and ghoul variants, and we must kill enough demons to awaken the Lord of Destruction, Bal." ”

"Well, happy hunting~" Zela's words fell, and everyone, including Babas, had an umbrella-shaped slow-falling spell appearing on his body, which began to disperse throughout the city under the influence of the wind.
