Chapter 329: Hakon and Baal
My name is Akatosh,
It seems that there are still two demon gods left?
—4E, 201, Moon of Fire, 27th, 12:07 p.m.
Hakon woke up.
He looked around slowly, somewhat sluggishly, with his glowing eyes.
This is still the dwarven stone chamber before he fell asleep, and although this strange creature is small, it makes relatively large furniture and houses, and even if it is used by humans, it is no problem at all.
There was a ferocious roar in my ears, it was a troll, a stupid creature with three eyes that only reacted to living creatures, and as a vampire, Hakong would be blind even if he passed in front of him.
There was some movement outside the door, but it was not a living thing, it was Hearn, a strange vampire who liked to dress up as all kinds of low-level laborers, he seemed to be very close to himself when he became a vampire, but because he did not enter a long sleep often, his routine became very similar to that of humans, and at this time it was equivalent to midnight for vampires, and it was really noon for him.
And here is the oldest ruin in Skyrim, Blasilin Ann.
Since he woke up for unknown reasons, then something was going to happen, and thousands of years of experience had made Hakong trust his instincts very much, so he moved his limbs, got up from the dwarven stone seat and walked out of the stone chamber.
"Boss." Hearn, dressed in a farmer's sackcloth shirt, sat in the doorway, and only casually greeted Hakong when he saw him.
"What's out of the ordinary?" "Boss" is just a title, and the two sides are essentially a cooperative relationship, but since the other party is willing to make a "subordinate" gesture, Hakong will not refuse.
"Hmm...... If it's an anomaly, it's still those anomalies, so there's no anomaly. Hearn said strange things that would be difficult for ordinary people to understand, but Hakon understood what he meant.
As the oldest ruins and the largest "well of souls", it is called an anomaly if there are no anomalies around.
The first is the most well-known ruins of Blasilin An, where there will be illusions from the past, the specific content is the story of a very powerful female wurmist leading a few mages to push the ruins all the way, although it is ridiculous that she fights wits and courage with the air when she follows it, but look at the traces inside the ruins to know how terrible she really is.
Then there are the two forgotten tombs, which contain two unusually powerful ghoul lords, who, according to Hakong's vague memory, seem to have belonged to a country that appeared near Brasilin and are extremely rare twin kings, even he can't guarantee that he will be able to defeat them, but due to the location and the interconnected entrances of the two tombs, it is easy for tomb robbers and adventurers to think that they have just passed through a normal tunnel and leave.
Finally, there is the Labyrinth of Shalido, as well as the "Well of the Soul", although it is rumored that Shalido built Brasilin An, but in fact, this ruin is older than his time, only the labyrinth part of the entire ruins was built by Shalido himself, it is said that Salidor put most of his inheritance in the labyrinth, used to attract others to challenge his own labyrinth, so far, all the attempts have returned.
Hakong went to see the labyrinth a long time ago, it only has one exit and one entrance, and there is no fork in the road and no monsters are placed on the way, but even so, whether it is from the entrance or exit, and finally after a few circles, you will find yourself inexplicably walking out of the place of entry, most people will think that this is a magic trick left by Salidore, but Hakong knows very well that those who walked through the maze at that time walked into the "well of souls" for a moment, and then were turned around when leaving, And these stupid guys simply ignored the scenery inside the maze because the scenery inside the maze was too similar.
Out of fear of the vampire god, [Morag Bar], Hakon has never approached a place like the Well of Souls that may be connected to the realm of annihilation, although only the souls of the dead can pass, but how can the dead with souls like vampires count? But this time, because the search for The Elder Scrolls failed, he had to try his luck.
As for the reason for the fear...... He still has palpitations when he thinks about it.
There were no vampires in the world, and since Akai and Meritia both hated the resurrection of the dead from different positions, there was no room for powerful undead creatures to arise naturally, except for skeletons and ghouls that leaked through their fingers—until Helsin came up with a "werewolf".
They are strong and powerful, immune to disease, and can transform into giant wolves, with few drawbacks other than the possibility of losing their minds and their lifespans not increasing but decreasing.
As the opponent of the god of hunting, [Morag Barr] immediately created another creature, the "vampire",-for-tat.
Elegant, powerful, immune to toxins, long-lived, and can turn into a bat when needed, and transformed by a living person, completely avoiding the attack range of those undead averse demon gods, the only problem is that when exposed to sunlight or without "food" for a long time, the strength will be drastically reduced.
The first vampire, or the result of the experiment, was Hakong.
When "manufacturing", you only need to bite open the blood vessels for the first embrace? It's naïve, that's the treatment of vampires after Hakong.
Since the target template of the Demon God's transformation is a certain demon in the "Cold Harbor" of its annihilation realm, he simply and rudely transformed Hakong's appearance in that direction, and then gave it the same wild strength and carried out various blow and anti-strike experiments, in short, it is completely common to be beaten to the transformation by the demon artifact "Baal's Hammer", and it is also common to explode from time to time because the power is uncontrollable, and it is not uncommon to be killed by a whimsical attack method with one hit.
Hakon couldn't even die when Baal declared the experiment successful and ran to Helsing, "I made your old enemy of creation", Hakon burst into tears—if he could cry if he could cry.
After seeing her husband's tragic situation, Hakong's wife, Berelica, after hearing that [Morag Barr] wanted a female test to make her and her daughter Serana the "daughter of Cold Harbor", she fled directly with her daughter from a "well of souls", and also abducted Hakong's castle by the way.
The Demon God was furious, and then took all his anger out on Hakong, and as a result, he had an additional ability to transform into a "Vampire Lord".
For the demon god, Hakong did not dare and could not retaliate, so he could only deal with his creation, for thousands of years, under the secret control of Hakong, werewolves and vampires fought countless times in the dark due to their completely conflicting attributes, no matter which side wins, it is part of the revenge for Hakong.
Compared to beasts that can only use brute force, vampires know how to suppress them in various ways, and by now, most of the werewolves that cannot control themselves have been eliminated, leaving only some special side branches, such as those of the comrades.
A few years ago, Hakon single-handedly provoked a joint vampire attack on the Hall of the Vigilant, but the intervention of [Akatosh's] minions ended up in vain - only a fool would think it was [Stendhal], and Baal, who had been chattering in his head at the time, was silenced at the same time as the Argonian lady appeared, giving Hakong a new idea.
For example, "Demon gods can be destroyed, as long as you find the right way." ”
The greatest opportunity in history was in the Second Age, when Baal tried to "nail" Cold Harbor into the world of Nairn with the "Anchor of Cold Harbor", and Hakong only thwarted the plan a little, and if he had been more daring at the time, he might have been able to fall on the spot.
The latest opportunity, from the conflict between the "Silver Hand" controlled by himself and the group of comrades, those stupid werewolf hunters are very interested in their ability to transform into the Maharaja, and Hakong, who has no obligation to stop them from looking for death, directly threw all the applicants to the demon god, and the result is that, except for a few successful people, those new vampires are either crazy or dead, or die after going crazy.
And just when the demon god was committed to creating a new vampire lord, he was inexplicably hit hard, and Hakong, who vaguely knew a little about his plan, judged that the demon artifact "Baal's Hammer", which was placed in Makas City and originally intended to pit a [Boyesia], was cut off from him, and the avatar attached to the hammer was completely destroyed, and his own strength directly dropped by nearly seventy.
"[Find...... The Elder Scrolls ...... Solution ......]" These were the last words that Baal had left, and then he fell into a deep sleep, and Hakon immediately set off with the Bow of Ali-Ai sent by Vilshon, of course, his purpose was not to find a way to save the demon god from the Elder Scrolls, but to find a way to completely destroy this "Morag Bal" and get back his wife and daughter who had run away for thousands of years.
Back to this moment, although Hakon has already arrived near the Salidor Labyrinth, he can't enter it first, as a direct creation of Baal, he will undoubtedly be teleported to the "Cold Harbor" when he passes through the Well of Souls, so all his plans are hidden, in the Demon God's own home field, even if there is only thirty percent of the strength left [Morag Baal] can easily pinch him to death.
Now, his plan is to capture some adventurers, tomb robbers, or caravan merchants who have the audacity to pass through Brasilin and throw them directly into the Well of Souls, and according to the faith, if they go to places like "Eternal Dusk", "Eternal Hunting Ground", "Moon Shadow", etc., they will continue to throw them, and one or two unbelievers will eventually open the passage to the "Soul Tomb", and then he will go and ask his wife and daughter to borrow the Elder Scrolls they hold, with the aim of destroying Baal, he will not be refused...... Probably.
"Boss, there are fluctuations in teleportation magic, it seems to be those hooded Order mages in Atayum, they often come to the labyrinth to study, let's avoid it?" Hearn interrupted Hakong's thoughts.
"Don't worry, let's take a look first, although the mages worship the god of wisdom, there are few who really have faith, so the other party is likely to be an unbeliever." Hakong said as he and Hearn hid to observe.
A black-haired, black-eyed elf mage? It doesn't look very strong.
