Chapter 242: The Trumpet and the Opening of the Heavens

My name is Akatosh.

Arthur ran to see old Pala.

β€”4E, 201, Moon of Fire, 5th, 1:41 a.m.

"Oh-no-o-"

Sophie wrapped her small humanoid hands around the neck of the giant red dragon and climbed upward with it in a near-straight trajectory, and when she looked around, the entire Skyrim Province was faintly visible with half snow white and half brown and yellow.

Although he was summoned by Graybeard before, it was getting late, and Arthur could not transform and fly away in front of those guards, so he could only go to Ximu to live in their kind invitation, compared to being just a friend of Hadava and Larov before, Arthur, who now has the status of a baron, was naturally treated more warmly.

While Arthur and Hood, Alvor, and Lukan were drinking, Ella and Lydia were naturally pestered by Sigri, Gordo, and Kemira, and Sophie and Ria quickly became friends with Doth, and even Barbas managed to subdue Staple as his younger brother.

In addition to these actual leaders of Creekwood, the other carpenters, hunters, and guards could not find an opportunity or excuse to talk to Arthur, and at most they came to toast a glass of mead.

It seems that there was a little boy who couldn't join the girls' conversation, the dog was abducted by Barbas, and he wasn't allowed to drink, and he ate resentfully throughout the party, huh...... What's his name? Sophie shook her head, leaving the question behind.

For Arthur, the task of retrieving Jorgen Windcaller's horn has been completed, and he should respond to Graybeard's call to go to the peak of Hosgar to resume his life, but before he has received important information about the Silver Hand, he is about to arrive in Snow Man to solve the mystery, and the next group of comrades will definitely carry out a long-time big move, and there is no time to meet Graybeard.

At this time, if he reroutes to Horsgar Peak first, Ella will definitely follow, so it will be troublesome for the comrades-in-arms to lose the opportunity or miss the opportunity to stop the conspiracy, so the only solution is to take advantage of the night in Ximu to fly directly to Horsgar Peak to meet Graybeard and receive the next stage of the mission, if any.

The Unrelieved Power allows him to temporarily maintain his will in Dragon Form, and the Harmony of Ginai allows him to transform without having to use Ella, and after returning the horn, the Greybeards will teach him how to take full control of his mind and no longer be confused by dragon souls.

While Arthur has barely lost himself in his transformation so far, it's always good to be prepared.

The only problem was that the horn was now worn around Sophie's neck as a beautiful toy, and the little girl was awakened when Arthur tried to take it off, and then stared at the horn in Arthur's hand as if she was going to cry or not, in order to prevent the others from being woken up, Arthur had to take her with him to the Hosgar Peak, hoping that the graybeard would not make things difficult for a young dragon.

β€”β€”2:03β€”β€”

Whew-

Arthur's incarnate red dragon flapped its wings and fell towards the courtyard of Horsgar Abbey.

The monastery, made entirely of blue-black stone, was located on the slope below the top of Hosgar, and the real highest peak was blowing a snowstorm so violent that Arthur could not reach it.

From above, the structure of this group of buildings is indeed a monastery, but only a row of houses on the side and an unwalled courtyard gate remain, and according to the general monastery plan, it should have been a side gate where it is now in use.

If this monastery were completely restored, more than half of its area would be located in the middle of the abyss below, and the whole would look like something had "swallowed" half of the monastery and everything around it, but for some uncontrollable reason, the other half of the monastery was left alone on the "world's highest peak".

Maybe it's the result of a great battle in ancient times, but it shouldn't have anything to do with him anyway, Arthur landed smoothly and let Sophie slide off his back, then slowly changed back to his original shape and tidied up his outfit.

The light in the middle of the night was not good, but the faintly glowing soul stones on the walls of the monastery and the reflection of the snow made the courtyard relatively bright, although it was a little inappropriate to wake up a group of old people in the middle of the night, but in a hurry, just apologize...... Well?

The back door of the monastery opened, and four old men in dark blue robes walked out, as if they had been waiting behind the door, and the two they had seen in the dream before were naturally there, but they were much more real in comparison.

These "greybeards" may have different faces, but at first glance they look exactly the same because they are the same age and have the same gray beard.

"Welcome, Dragonborn, the moment you bring back Jorgen Windcaller's horn is a sign that you have successfully passed the trial of learning the Way of the Roar, and the next time is the time to use it for rituals." Ayngail said to Arthur.

β€œοΌβ€ Sophie heard the keyword, clutched the horn tightly, and quickly ducked behind Arthur.

"Lend us, ceremony, finish, return." The other Greybeard spoke to Sophie with a kind expression, but the lightning and frost around him that accompanied his rumbling words made him look intimidating.

"These are Master Ainas," Ayngail introduced, "and they are Master Borui and Master Wolfga. ”

The other two Greybeards, who had no intention of speaking at all, bowed, and Arthur returned the salute.

"You'll pay me back, okay?" Reluctantly, Sophie took the horn off her neck and handed it to Ainas.

"Say yes." Ainas nodded slightly.

Why didn't she give it when I wanted it? Because the old man is more kind? Arthur felt a little frustrated, but immediately picked up the conversation: "So, what is the 'Way of Roar'?" ”

"The use of a dragon's roar outside of combat can be called the way of roaring, such asβ€”" Ayngail took the horn from Ainas and looked at it, and suddenly shouted, "[Liz]! ”

With this snap, an ice ridge rose from the ground, forming a pillar with a tray just below the horn, which Eingail placed on it.

"Now, please stand in front of the horn." He took two steps back to make room for Arthur.

Well...... That being said, "Unrelieved Force" and "Breath of Fire" are not included, while "Harmony of Ginai" and "Ethereal Transfiguration" belong to the path of roaring, Arthur thought as he stepped forward and stood right in front of the horn.

Whewβ€”Graybeard took a deep breath at the same time.

"[The Storm Crown has been lost for a long time, and no one is qualified to wear it anymore,]"

"[In the name of Gene, Shure, and Moratar, we give it to you with a cold spitting eye,]"

"Listen, Northern Dragon, your name is Ismir! 】”

Although the Greybeards roared together, it was the horn that no one blew at all, and although this time it was no longer an inexplicably magnificent song, Arthur still didn't understand a word.

"Hmm...... What are you talking about? Arthur asked in confusion as he looked at the Greybeards, who seemed to have suddenly become tired.

"These are the exact words of Greybeard when he paid tribute to Taber Septin, who had come to learn the 'Way of the Roar' years ago, and even he was stunned a few steps back then." Ayngail breathed two sighs of relief: "It seems that your future achievements have the possibility of surpassing him." ”

Beyond Tyber Septin, the Ninth Holy Spirit Talos? Arthur didn't believe it at all, and if he wanted to surpass the first emperor who unified the continent of Tamariel, he might have to save the world.

β€”β€”2:42β€”β€”

"Although the 'Way of Roar' can be summarized as the perception and practice of non-combat dragon roars, from a personal point of view, everyone's way of roaring is different, and even if we pass on our own experience to you, it will not do you any good learning."

At this point, Eingail and the other three Greybeards led Arthur and Sophie to the gate of the monastery leading to the top of the mountain, where Sophie had quietly taken the Wind Caller horn back, and the Greybeards didn't mind it at all.

"This kind of cultivation without confrontation and combat is difficult for ordinary people to understand, so a non-combat dragon roar with a similar effect to the confrontation is very suitable for beginners to teach the way of roaring," Ayngail gestured to Borui, "and Master Borui is proficient in this dragon roar." ”

Master Greybeard, known as Borui, nodded slightly to Arthur, then stepped forward and shouted at the blizzard raging outside the gate, "[Lok Vah Koor]! ”

At that moment, without any warning, the wind and snow outside the intersection suddenly subsided, but strangely, the scope of the subsidence was limited to a distance of more than ten meters outside the door.

At the same time, three dragon runes were firmly engraved into Arthur's mind, and it was called, "Open Heaven", which could eliminate all bad weather.

"Soon, not bad." Master Borui nodded, his words carrying gusts of snow, but much milder than the blizzard he had cleared before.

He bowed slightly, and something similar to a dragon soul shifted from him towards Arthur, condensing the set of runes very purposefully.

And in the process, the snowstorm outside the door that had subsided blew again, even more violently than before.

"The last Greybeard who lives at the summit of Hosgar is also our mentor," Ayngail said with a nostalgic expression as he looked up at the peak of the blizzard, "If you are successful in the path of roaring, and one day you can eliminate the blizzard through uninterrupted short distances like Master Borui, then you will be able to go up the mountain to meet 'him', although 'he' won't see us, but you are different, and then you can go further-huh?" ”

Eingail turned around, only to find that Arthur and Sophie were gone, and there was no sign of snow at the intersection outside the gate.

"Open the sky, trumpet, silent." Borui said.

"Arthur, girl, up the hill," Ainas added.

"Haha, haha, hahaha." Wolfga concluded.
