My name is Akatosh,

The current situation is that the praying mantis catches the cicada, the yellow finch is behind, and I am behind the yellow finch~

—4E, 201, Moon of the Fire, 1st, 4:22 a.m.

"Daddy~Daddy~Where are we going~"

Sophie sat on the red dragon's back and patted the scales at it.

[(Dragon) Find a place to hide.] Arthur growled as he watched the ground move.

"Why are you hiding?"

[......] "Although Arthur is very depressed now, he can't be angry with Sophie's little girl, so he has to keep silent.

Originally, it didn't take much time to wait for Sophie to wake up from her sleep, and take her back directly, but the result was that although Sophie woke up, she forgot the reason why she turned into a dragon and flew away.

After finally succeeding in chasing, Sophie shouted "Admit defeat, admit defeat" and sat on the back of the red dragon in the form of a little girl, Arthur finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn around, but he was confronted with a rain of arrows, and the people who launched the attack looked like the Imperial Legion, but judging from the strange black arrows mixed in it, it was obvious that there were blade warriors among them, although those arrows could not pierce his scales, but because of the need to take care of Sophie, Arthur had to turn again - this action immediately proved to be a serious mistake.

The actual control area of the Imperial Legion did not know what was happening, and many camps and troops did not rest, and when he saw a dragon flying in the sky, he decisively opened his bow and arrows to attack, because he did not want to attack ordinary people like a real dragon, Arthur had to fly farther and farther with Sophie, and finally there were no more arrows from the ground, and he was depressed to see the northernmost coastline of Skyrim Province appear in front of him.

Before dawn came, Arthur finally found a hidden hollow to land, and the two snow bears that had occupied this place seemed to be frightened by the dragon's threat, and even if Arthur later turned back into humans, they hid in the corner and shivered and did not dare to approach.

After comparing the terrain he had overlooked with the map in his impression, Arthur judged that he had now flown to the snowy mountains in the northwest of Skyrim Province, and that flying straight east was Dugu City, the capital of Skyrim Province, no wonder those Imperial Legions were so desperate to drive him away.

For now, it would be good to find a way to descend the mountain after dawn and hire a carriage in the nearest village to go to Loristed, even if they were still on the lookout for the dragon, but they could not have imagined that the dragon would become a human, but in this case, they would be delayed for at least two more days, and they could only hope that Ella, Lydia, and Ria would not act alone.

For now, the only good news is that the way to transform into a dragon is right, although I have flown all night, I haven't felt too hungry at this time, but Sophie can ......

"Hey—" Arthur sighed deeply as he looked at Sophie, who was pounced on the snow bear.

"Hey—" An echo came from around him.

No, a depression that is not even a cave, where does the echo come from?

Arthur turned his head and saw a dusty dirt dog, lying silently on the ground because of its long hair, which he had mistaken for a shabby piece of fur.

"Hello?" Arthur thought he must be exhausted and actually greeted a dog.

"Hello." The earth dog glanced up at Arthur and replied listlessly, his voice sounding like that of a decadent middle-aged man.

"Excuse me, did you just say something?" Arthur suspects that he has not only hallucinated but also visually because he had been flying into a dragon for too long.

"I said 'hello.'" The gray-haired earth dog bared his teeth at Arthur: "Could it be that you have a problem with your ears?" ”

"Hmm...... Belch. Arthur didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Is it strange that dogs can talk?" The earth dog muttered to himself: "There are dragons in the sky, giants in the wild, two-legged cats that travel everywhere, and humans who look like lizards and turn into wolves on the night of the full moon, and now I am being questioned by a guy who can turn into a dragon if he can speak?" ”

"That's different," Arthur retorted solemnly, "those things are already there, and you're the only one of the dogs in Skyrim who can speak." ”

"Hmph, since you can't accept the fact that dogs can talk, it's better to think of these words as weird barks, just enough to form sentences that can communicate with people." The earth dog yawned: "If you want to eat those two snow bears, feel free, don't delay me to recuperate." ”

"Sounds like you're planning to do something, do you need help?" Arthur was a hunter after all, and had little resistance to canine creatures, and perhaps because of this, he had little resistance to the fact that the top of the Comrades were all werewolves.

"I'm going to defeat a mage and a ...... The wolf took away an axe from the magician's collection," said the dog, "and neither of them could die in the process." ”

"Hmm...... The reason for this? "Originally, I thought that the task of the earth dog was to hunt or find objects, but I didn't expect it to be like this...... A human task, Arthur had to suspect that it was someone else's order to it.

"There was a little girl who secretly believed in Helsing, and as a result, she was given werewolf blood, and she would transform uncontrollably twice a month, and her magician father, in order to protect her, moved out of the city to study the solution, and then met my master, Clavicus Vile," the earth dog said this, seemingly awkwardly paused, but Arthur could not see the expression on a furry dog face.

Sure enough, it's a dog raised by the demon god, no, or rather, the appearance of this earth dog is probably just a "shell".

"And then?" Arthur nodded for it to continue.

"The master gave him an 'axe of remorse,' and said that if he cut off the girl's tail with an axe when she turned into a werewolf, he would 'no longer become a werewolf uncontrollably.'" The earth dog turned his gaze to the side.

What's the deal with this weird weapon's name? There's something wrong with the effect that's obviously wrong, right? How stupid would that magician have to be to actually do it? Arthur could almost guess that the girl would never come back after her tail was cut off.

"Then, the werewolf whose tail was cut off turned into an ordinary wolf, and the magician refused to listen to his master in a fit of rage, and beckoned me with a fireball the size of a basin whenever he saw me." The earth dog flicked his tail.

"So you're going to sneak in and bring back the axe?" Arthur frowned, "If your master just wants to get the weapon back and clear the relationship, not only will I not help him, but I will stop you." ”

"The demon gods don't have the shallow idea of 'dissociating themselves from the relationship', they will only publicize what they have done, although this matter is caused by the bad personality of the master, but if you want to solve it completely, you really have to take back the axe, and give the blessing of Helsin, which was deprived of the girl, to the master to transform, if they keep holding the axe, nothing will change." Earth Dog replied.

"Okay, I've decided to help you, where is that magician's residence?" Arthur nodded and accepted the Earth Dog's explanation for the time being.

"It's in the abandoned mine cave at the foot of the mountain," the earth dog raised his front paw and nodded out of the cave.

——5:27——

"Boom, boom, boom—" "Die! The lackeys of the Demon God! ”

Heavy armor proved completely unsuitable for stealth, even with four stars lit up in the "stealth" constellation, and Arthur was spotted by the mage even before the earth dog, followed by a barrage of fire-based destructive magic.

For a small cave that has been abandoned due to a failed prospecting, the escape space can be said to be quite insufficient.

"Wait, Mr. Sebastian, I'm here to help you—[Yol]!" Arthur dodged all kinds of fire magic in a frustration, and if he couldn't dodge it, he simply canceled it out with a fire breath.

Before the operation, Arthur had exchanged names with the earth dog, and his name was "Babas", and the father and daughter who were teased by the demon god were named Sebastian and Florium (flowerdream), both of whom belonged to the noble Lots family of Dugu City.

As for Sophie, it's better to let her sleep with the two snow bears that want to cry without tears, it's already messy enough.

"Hahaha! I will never believe in a word of the Demon God or the Holy Spirit again in this life! Sebastian, the gray-haired old mage, laughed maniacally as he responded to Arthur's explanation, if the overwhelming fire magic was a response.

As Arthur and the old mage fought, Barbas ran out of the cavern with an axe in his mouth, followed by a large, smooth-furred black wolf that was constantly opening its mouth to try to bite it.

"Believe it or not, we're here to remove your daughter's beast bloodline, and we'll see in two days at most—" The old mage can't fight, even the hilt of the sword will hurt the muscles and bones, and this wolf doesn't have to worry, Arthur said loudly as he slapped the giant wolf with the blade of his sword against the wall, and then followed Babas out of the cave while the old mage went to check the wolf's state.

"Who told you you'll see you in two days?" After running a long way, Barbas put down his axe and wagged his tail at Arthur.

"You just said where you want to send this axe, I have the confidence to fly anywhere in the Skyrim Province within two days - not to mention that the altar of your demon god is in the province." Arthur gasped and stared at Babas as he spoke.

Arthur was also a little surprised that he was so concerned about this, but if you think about it, the mission of this trip was originally to try to remove the werewolf bloodline of Ria, and the fate of the old mage's daughter, who was also a werewolf, was also sympathetic.

"Two days, it shouldn't be needed, the altar where the master can come down is near Phocles, even if it's a little more than a day by carriage," Babas tilted his head to look at Arthur, "Did you plan to go there in the first place?" ”

Arthur frowned slightly, it seemed that the Grimm Jasmine Witch Villa was indeed in the west of the city, could it be a coincidence?
