My name is Akatosh,
History class is so boring~

"Ah, Rabitt, this side ~ pick it up ~ " "Tsk~"
"Fly higher, good boy, good boy~" "Tsk! β
After confirming that "Rabit" was not a disguise of some demon god, nor was it a planned lurking by other forces, Sophie completely ignored its strange appearance and happily played with it.
"I actually think of the 'rabbit' as a dog...... "Babas bared his teeth as the girl interacted with the blue dragon.
"[I haven't seen this kind of dragon, could it be that it is new in these years?] Sacroniel, a little apprehensive, asked Patunax.
The skin is smooth and scale-free, the overall skeleton and posture are not quite right, the head is too low and the limbs are too high, and the wings are so small that they look like ornaments, and on the whole, it is very close to the "big lizard" that the "dragon slayer warriors" disparage them call "big lizards".
"Of course you haven't seen it," Patunax shook his head, "This is Oreduwa, the Ancestor Yuanlong, who belongs to the first dragonborn. γβ
"The first Dragonborn? Isn't it Taber Saiputin? As a current Dragonborn, Arthur naturally couldn't ignore this.
"Hehe, Ismir? Although he founded the Empire of Dupa and Septin, the history of mankind does not begin with him," Patumnax smiled: "Not even Sgramer. γβ
"Uh...... I would like to hear about it. Arthur then remembered that the ancient dragon in front of him who had lived for an unknown number of years, must have been very knowledgeable about history.
"Taber Septin, the dragon of the north, is known for creating an empire that continues to the present, but before him, there were several empires that perished for various reasons, and this history can be traced back to the northern kingdom founded by Sgrammer, although you call him the ancestor of mankind, he is not, he is just the ancestor of the 'present humans'. Patunax explained.
"Hmm......" Arthur couldn't interject at all.
"[Sgramer drove out the elves from the continent of Tamariel, and the period of elven rule is called the 'Elven Age', as for Milak, he lived much earlier, that period was called the 'Mythical Era' by humans, when humans were only slaves, and the dragons were the rulers of the continent,] Patunax straightened up slightly: "[I was, no, I amβthe Emperor. γβ
"......" Arthur had nothing to say, there was surprise, but there was no respect, after all, I don't know how many years ago.
Apparently Patonax didn't want to let the conversation continue, so he continued, "[At that time, the people who ruled the human race for the dragons were people who were given the power to be called 'dragon sacrifices', and since they were not the power of the bloodline, they could not be called dragonborn. β
"Mirak, as the assistant of the dragon sacrifice, found a way to successfully steal the dragon power of the dragon sacrifice and integrate it into the bloodline, at this time, he became the first 'dragonborn', and then led his men to rebel and flee from Tamariel. Patunax shook his head and turned his gaze to Sacroniel.
"[Because of his behavior, he broke the legend that 'dragons are invincible' and 'dragon sacrifices are the strongest humans', and the resistance forces in various parts of the dragon empire have swarmed, and we have to start an all-out war with humans,]" Sarlonir spewed out a breath of dragon breath: "[As a result, both sides were defeated, and they were picked up by the elves. γβ
Well...... The Old Human Empire is gone, and the Elder Dragons are in the Dragon's Tomb.
"Before the collapse of the Dragon Empire, Alduin, the 'Eater of Worlds', appeared to end the world and recreate it, but was wiped out by three human heroes with 'Dragon Break'. Patunax continued.
"Wait? Dragon break? Exterminate? Arthur was surprised: "Didn't [Akatosh] not appear at that time because of the 'Millennium Dragon Break'?" β
"[Millennial Dragon Breaking ......]" Patunax's body seemed to tremble, "[That's just forcibly separating 'Akatosh' from 'Ali-E', the Holy Spirit and the Demon God have existed since the beginning of the world. γβ
"Hmm...... So, all I have to do is watch the battle between the Three Heroes and Alduin through The Elder Scrolls and learn to break the dragon in this way? Arthur gestured to the huge metal scroll.
"[I must explain in advance, Duwakin,] Although the expression could not be seen from the dragon's face, Arthur felt Patunax become serious: "['Dragon break' is through damage' The longer the time, the more drastic the change, the greater the damage, but the strength and cost of your dragon roar will not change, so when you want to change something, don't just try to do it for your own convenience, maybe by the time you cheer for the perfect solution of something, the dragon god is already covered in devastation. γβ
"This ...... Impossible, right? Arthur felt that the old dragon's statement was a bit exaggerated: "Won't Lord [Akatosh] refuse?" β
"[You're a good person]." Patunax said.
"Huh?" Arthur didn't know why.
"Think of the way you've always behaved," the Elder Dragon added, "Save Helgen, clear the Snowman's perimeter, track down the Silver Hand, fight the Lordship of the Blood, and even go deep into the dangerous Black Fall, but for what purpose? Was there any time it was for yourself? γβ
Well, actually, I'm just looking for someone, and I feel that these actions will bring me closer, but Arthur himself doesn't believe it.
"[If you change the purpose of time and continue this style, 'Akatosh' will not refuse you, so you must think carefully when you actually use 'Dragon Break'. Patunax nodded and raised his wings, "Go ahead. γβ
In the scattered snowflakes on the top of the mountain, a vertical pillar of light appeared not far away.
"Let's go, Babas," Arthur picked up the Elder Scrolls and called the Dirt Dog to the pillar of light.
"Call me Lord Ville. Babas said dissatisfied.
"Okay, Babas."
The pillar of light itself was just an illusion used by Patonax, and Arthur didn't feel anything special in the designated place, he nodded to Patunax and pulled the scroll straight down so that Barbas could see it as well.
The scroll began to emit white light as it had last time reading it in Zakta, and the pattern of the circle that pulled the scroll gradually appeared, vaguely a small garden, was it there again?
Forget it, if you can watch it again, it's worth it even if you pass out again.
Arthur was thinking like this, when he suddenly heard Barbas beside him "snort" in surprise, and when he subconsciously turned his head to look, he found that he was no longer in the peak of Hosga.
ββοΌοΌ οΌοΌοΌ ββ
Although it is surrounded by a garden, it is not the backyard of the house, but more like the empty space deliberately left between the houses of the nobles in some cities in order to distance themselves, and then some flowers and plants are randomly planted to block the view for the sake of beauty.
Barbas was nowhere to be seen, and the Elder Scrolls in his hand had disappeared, and there was silence all around, Arthur stood still for a moment and waited for nothing to change, then tried to walk outside.
Buzzββ!
As he stepped out of the garden, a large number of noisy noises came at the same time, and Arthur stayed there for a moment, and after a moment finally made out what it was.
It was a mixture of war cries, weapons intersecting, magic, screams, flapping wings, dragon's breath, roaring, and so on, and at the same time, Arthur was a city at war.
Humanity's war with dragons.
Countless dragons glided and swooped over the city, destroying everything in their path with their scorching or icy breaths.
The humans in the city were naturally not to be outdone, relying on the cover to fight back with various weapons, occasionally shooting down a giant dragon, and a group of people around them immediately swarmed up.
Arthur's location, a monastery on a hill on the outskirts of the city, was abandoned by both sides in his opinion, except for its larger size, which had neither defensive nor offensive value.
Could it be that the dragon break that defeated Alduin happened here? But there was no fighting here at all.
Arthur was thinking about whether to try it out of the city, when he saw a black dragon sneak away from the warband and fly towards the monastery.
Sacroniel? Although the dragons were all about the same, Arthur was quite familiar with the dragon.
The black dragon flew to the door of the monastery and landed with a bang, and although it stirred up a gust of wind, it didn't even blow Arthur's hair, which made him sure that he was indeed observing the apparitions of the past through the Elder Scrolls.
"Shaftera?" Alogniel lowered his voice and shouted into the monastery, "Alduin has awakened, humanity is finished, come with me." β
"I said, I won't go." The door of the monastery opened, and out came a woman dressed in a pure white robe, her hair, skin, and eyes were all snow-white, like an unpainted plaster cast, and her voice was very soft and maternal.
"What about coming with you? Did Alduin say he was going to let you go? The woman pointed to the sky: "You can't think that just because it takes the form of a dragon, it's really a dragon, it's the 'devourer of the world', it thinks that this world where dragons enslave humans needs to be ended, so it will wake up, and whatever you do is useless." β
"Then it's useful for you to protect these human children?" Sarlonir raised his voice slightly, and when he saw Shaftastra's snow-white eyebrows furrowed slightly, he immediately lowered his voice again, "Listen to me, the Dragon Emperor has decided to destroy all human beings, so that the premise of 'dragons enslaving human beings' is not valid, then [Alduin] should fall back into a deep sleep......"
The black dragon couldn't say any more in the middle of his sentence, as several human children poked their heads out of the monastery behind Sinistra and grimaced at him.
"Hell!" Sacroniel was furious: "You are a dragon who can turn into a human, not a man who can become a dragon!" They are just food and slaves! Figure out where you stand! β
"Really? Then you eat her. Cinestra pulled out a little human girl with pale pink hair, blue eyes, and a pink and white plush skirt from behind her back and pushed it towards the black dragon.
"Do you think I wouldn't dare?!" Probably dazed, Sarlonir opened his mouth and swallowed the little girl directly.
"Oh, that's amazing." Cinestra covers her mouth.
"I said you-hmm!" Sarlonir was about to say something, but suddenly opened his mouth uncontrollably, and then was horrified to see the little girl just now open his mouth and come out, and kicked one of his fangs by the way.
"Father, I hate it." The little girl staggered back behind Sinistra and threw the words at him.
"My daughter?!" Sarlonir said in surprise, ignoring the half of the tooth: "Then you have to come with me, I will definitely find a good place to hide from [Alduin] and settle you, those, tsk, human cubs can also be together." β
"Hmm......" Nessestra tilted her head and pointed to the city at war, "How are you going to dodge it?" β
Click!
As if to match Sinestra's words, half of the huge city was directly missing, and then an incomparably huge pitch-black dragon head slowly poked out from the edge of the cliff on the other side of the city.
γDevourer of WorldsγAlduin.
While everyone was in a stupor, only Arthur had time to wonder: how did it feel so small?
