Chapter 351: Spiders and Robbers

My name is Akatosh,

Ahhhh

โ€”4E, 201, Frost Moon, 6th, 08:33 -

Pseudo-Songgard, outside the Jagelag Hut.

Looking at the "Valhalla", which should not have been visible, Arthur realizes that the terrible truth he had vaguely suspected before may come true.

It was a magnificent huge palace, but it collapsed and damaged in many places, and the whole exuded a rich, blood-like red light, and judging from the specific size of this building, it should have been impossible for Arthur and them to see from a very long distance, but it was so hard to penetrate the fog between the wooden house and it, and suddenly made its figure appear in front of everyone's eyes, as if it was forcibly announcing to all the "wandering spirits" in the fog: Your destination is here.

This operation is not as originally thought, through the "Well of Souls" to capture the "Alduin" who is hiding in Songgard to secretly absorb the soul, during which there may be heroes from various periods to help, and the [Sgramer], who had a good relationship before, will definitely play a decisive role.

Obviously, the "Songgard" that we are currently in is not the one that belongs to the current era, it is the annihilation realm of the "Alduin" that was banished by the "Three Warriors" from the ancient and unknown reincarnation era, a "finished" annihilation realm, which has begun to revive due to the absorption of the souls of the dead in the current era, and the "Alduin" that relies on its existence has gradually regained its strength.

It appeared in Helgen at that time, hoping to wipe out the leader of the Imperial Legion and the Stormcloak, and if it could add its own "dragonborn" soul, it would probably be able to start a new round of "world devouring" immediately.

In this way, Princess Emilia Septin, who is also a dragonborn, will go around pardoning criminals who are to be executed, and Zela Pesh, the elven saintess, will try to avoid anyone's death because she knows this, and she kills everywhere under various pretexts without realizing it, and is complacent about receiving the title of baron...... Shouldn't they have been quietly watching themselves mess around and silently cleaning up the aftermath?

Arthur stole a glance back at his companions, Amir didn't see anything as always, Ladia remained on guard, Babas and Sophie skimmed by, Zela's words...... He was looking thoughtfully at the mirage-like "Valhalla".

"[This is the 'end' of the world, there will be no birth and no death," Jagerag's avatar said as he walked out of the cabin and behind Arthur, "[When the new geists arrived, many of them wanted to change the world, but eventually became a part of it after all their enthusiasm had been consumed. ใ€‘โ€

"What do you mean by 'being a part of'?" Given that this lady was a statue similar to a god and demon, Arthur did not ask politely directly.

"Losing memory, losing oneself, wandering forever in the fog of Songgard, the only thing left is hatred for others, no matter how many times it is destroyed, it cannot be erased. The incarnation of Jagelag replied.

I see...... No, wait? "No matter how many times it is wiped out"?

"โ€”โ€”!" It seemed that the group was shocked by the "Valhalla" and stayed in front of the wooden house for a long time, and many pairs of eyes appeared in the surrounding woods, and the sound of the joints moving was heard.

The next moment, a huge frost spider with its many little brothers came out of the fog and surrounded Arthur and them.

The big guy at the Frostfall Temple? This Songjiade is really cold.

"Don't go near these spiders - it almost corroded my sword in the first place, and it must have been strengthened now," Arthur reminded aloud, as he began to clean up the spiders with the "summon bow" spell again, and tried to attack around the back: "Its weakness is in the bellyโ€”uh." โ€

Behind the frost spider was another head with sharp fangs, identical to the previous one.

โ€”โ€”9:01โ€”โ€”

After Arthur and his companions had struggled to destroy the two-headed spider and reduce it to ashes, Jagerag's avatar said, "I will stay with you until your hope is extinguished." ใ€‘โ€

"Wang ......" Babas was dumbfounded: "I am very eager to know the [Jagelag] deity to say something full of malice with such a natural and kind expression. โ€

"She definitely has a part in the reason why those 'geists' lost themselves." Ladia agreed.

The black-clad and masked Demon God Incarnation Lady did not react at all to her comments.

"So, Arthur, what are we going to do next?" Zela Pesh used a whirlwind spell to blow the ashes back into the forest, then turned to him.

Really...... Different, Arthur looked at the female mage, judging from the information about her and the recent relationship between Satya, she has always been very strong and goal-oriented in major matters, and almost always asks for other people's opinions, it seems that she knows very well how what she wants to do and there is no doubt about it, but when it comes to irrelevance and life matters, she often consults others.

Of course, it is impossible for a person to have such a completely different personality, and the only explanation at present is that she is not the so-called "former" saint at all, Ali-Ai, or rather, [Akatosh] has never given up on her, and will prompt her in all kinds of difficult matters.

But...... Her strange style in the past felt inexplicably familiar and intimate, but her current personality was a little strange.

"Anyway, head in the direction of the 'Valhalla Ruins,'" Arthur decided, "I think that's the key to solving most of the world's problems." โ€

โ€”โ€”10:29โ€”โ€”

After leaving Jagelag's hut for some distance, the dense woods suddenly disappeared in front of everyone and turned into a pale red wasteland, with neat sections, as if something had cut off the forest and then spliced together with a different kind of ground.

However, the fog remained tightly around and visibility barely improved.

"Wow! No trees, good mood!" Barbas circled the group twice and had fun.

"Well, at least it won't be as easy to sneak up as it was in the woods before." Ledia spoke out at a tactical level.

"Dad, is there anything to eat here?" Sophie's concern was the same as ever.

"Hmm...... As much as I wish I had, it's clear that they are all inedible guys. Arthur drew his sword and unsheathed it.

The light red wasteland was completely undulating, with only scattered rocks on the ground, and it looked like a smooth road, but at the same time as Arthur made a fighting stance, the ground in front of him suddenly exploded, and five or six "humans" jumped out of the ground.

Dressed in tattered armor and carrying axes, hoes, and daggers, they would have looked like ordinary robbers or miners if it weren't for the bright red light in their eyes.

Is this the bandit mine you destroyed before you fled Helgen and arrived in Brookwood? So to speak...... Arthur watched the movements of these "people" intently.

If they still look like people, then their movements completely prove their "inhuman" status, wandering aimlessly, even if they tripped over stones, they continue to move with the posture of falling to the ground, no matter how strange it is or twist themselves into something, and when they take two steps and notice Arthur, they will immediately rush towards him with their hands and feet, and even hit their heads on the ground, at this time, only the expression of cruelty or anger or fear on their faces reveals the slightest "human" atmosphere.

Cha! With a single sword, Arthur cleaved the rushing "monster" into a cloud of ashes.

"Unfortunately, sorry, sorry, unfortunately, I won't say anything that would directly or indirectly sympathize with you," Arthur drew his sword and turned around, nailing a creature who had come to the ground to the ground, "You will still be treated like this after you die, it is your own fault, and you do not deserve anyone's mercy." โ€

Boom-boom-boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-T

"Wang?" Barbas tilted his head in confusion.

"In Nairn, there are sixteen demon gods, eight Holy Spirits, and their priesthood and realm include almost all aspects that humanity can relate," Zela said, "Even a heinous villain can find a person willing to accept his annihilation after death, and there are only two kinds of people, who are not called human beings in the rules of the gods, and after death there will be no Holy Spirit or Demon God in the soul willing to receive it, and finally be attracted to this 'end' world." โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ I know one, a necromancer who uses a black soul stone. Amir answered.

"And bandits," Lydia adds, "and when there is a shortage of workers in the entire continent of Tamariel, instead of working, they rob the civilians of the farms, caravans, and fishing grounds, and build up a group of criminals based on this economic cycle, who are wanted in all territories, for example, Snow City has only 4,000 inhabitants, and the number of robbers waiting to rob them in the wild is about 3,000." โ€

"If the next enemies were all like this, we would have a lot easier," Arthur put away his sword and walked back, "Speaking of which, the number of robbers I killed during the snowman's time was ......"

Boom!! Boom!!

Heavy footsteps sounded, and it seemed that something extremely huge was approaching, about bipedal in terms of sound frequency.

"It's ...... Rotten! Arthur raised his sword in a parrying gesture, frowned in the direction the voice came from, finally thought of something before the other man showed up, and then rolled sideways in shock.

Bang!!

A huge wooden stick of unusually thickness, cut entirely from the trunk of a tree, slammed into his position.

Immediately afterward, a giant that was obviously more than four or five times taller than an ordinary giant, with a blue-gray body surface, appeared in front of everyone through the dense fog.
