Chapter 330: The Princess and Arthur
My name is Akatosh,
Well, the realm of annihilation...... Who will find the way?
—4E, 201, Moon of the Fire, 27th, 12:21 p.m.
Palasos had always felt that the Shadow Nightmare, which the princess had named "Midnight" out of nowhere, had been a bit too obedient, and had been quietly following Princess Emilia wherever she went, waiting obediently at the exit where she couldn't enter, and now he was grabbing her mane hard without complaining - the row of black "flames" floating around her neck was probably a mane.
This "horse" has no reins and saddles, and Her Royal Highness the princess sits firmly on her side and has no signs of falling at all, but for him she can't sit still at all, so he can only hug the horse's neck tightly and grab the mane as a rein.
No way, although this guy looks like a horse, he behaves in a completely different way, for example, when a normal Skyrim horse encounters a cliff that is almost straight up and down, it will basically choose to take a detour, and this Shadow Nightmare will go directly to the cliff, as if it were the ground.
In this case, the princess still sat upright on the horse's back without any effect, and Palasos would be thrown off if he did not hold the horse tightly, and he thought that he must have been secretly despised by the horse.
It is precisely because of this that there are no ordinary people in the companions, and the time is a little rushed, Princess Emilia decides to go straight to Dugu City, and ride this shadow horse that will not be affected by the terrain.
Remembering the steep mountains along the way, coupled with the super speed at which the "dark horse" could run, Palacos was a little desperate, but when the princess asked what the question was, he could only reply: "It doesn't matter, no problem!" ”
————
If you draw a straight line along the snow man's direction towards Dugu City, you will pass the ancient city of Mosal and ...... along the way The ancient ruins of Blasilin Ann, which is said to have been built by the ancient mage Shalido, are no longer verifiable, but the fact that there are many traces of magic left inside and the presence of many monsters that have attracted them is genuine.
Given the rather troublesome nature there, Palasos very much wanted to persuade Emilia to take a detour, but there was no suitable reason, because there was almost no existence that could compete with the princess in terms of combat power, and if that kind of unusually powerful guy really appeared, she could also sneak around it directly.
Whew-stepping, "Midnight" stopped outside Brasilin'an, and instantly changed from extreme movement to extreme quiet, but Palacos, who had been prepared, was not thrown out.
"There are enemies?" Palathos rolled over and dismounted, grabbed his ebony sword and assumed a defensive stance.
Although the princess is indeed very strong, if she is allowed to do everything herself, what else do they need to do with the sharp-eyed eagles.
“…… It seems to be an enemy, but something strange. Amir jumped down from the Nightmare, patted it on the neck to signal it to move freely, and then looked deeper into the ruins and said.
No, he didn't find anything, and Parasos observed tentatively for a while, and finally decided to go and explore, since there was something that piqued the princess's interest, it proved that she would not leave easily.

"I've walked through this maze a few times, but I haven't gotten through, is there a magic interference?"
"Yes, there are triggers along the way that require the use of specific spells, and if you miss one, they'll turn you back the way you came."
"I see, then, since you're here for the trial, can we pass with you?"
"Of course you can, but if there's a trap behind me, I probably won't notice it."
"We can take care of ourselves."
"I hope so."
In front of the gate of the sprawling complex known as the "Labyrinth of Shalido", three figures were talking, a middle-aged man dressed in old-fashioned or even old-fashioned aristocratic costumes, and his bodyguard, who was sturdy and difficult to mess with at first glance, but who was inexplicably dressed in the sackcloth shirt of a farm worker. , and the last female mage, dressed in khaki mage robes and holding a long staff.
It looked like they were discussing exploring the Labyrinth of Salidos, which was very common and seemed ordinary, but Palacos always felt that something was wrong.
They're too ...... Calm down, you must know that this is a dangerous ancient ruin, even if a nobleman with a bodyguard should not be as easy as wandering in his own back garden, as for the female mage, maybe she is confident in her own strength, but this is a famous labyrinth built by an ancient mage, what is the matter with that kind of contempt that is almost overflowing?
There was a soft sound behind her, it was the subtle sound of Her Royal Highness the princess's ebony dagger coming out of its sheath, well, she really wouldn't wait for her own reconnaissance and followed, the question now was, who was she going to deal with?
——12:48——
Rushing in the form of a dragon, Arthur only dared to do it secretly at night before, after all, the red was too eye-catching, not to mention the problem of being discovered and attacked by the blade warriors, if someone deliberately investigated him, it would be easy to find that his and the dragon's movements were highly overlapping, and then there was a series of troubles.
However, this problem no longer exists, and since Alduin finally intervened, a dragon or two would pop up in the sky from time to time, and as long as they didn't land and attack, civilians didn't even bother to focus their eyes on them.
According to Audaweiying, Alduin's body is hiding in the well of the soul of Brasilin'an, and if it is attracted by the dragon avatars outside and gives it enough time to regain its strength, then the world of this era will undoubtedly be swallowed by it, and his "evil of this world" will bear the brunt.
But if you want to fight it, if you calculate it carefully, there is no helper to find at all, and Audaweiying, Sarloniar and even Patunax can't fight against Ordu, because it has to be responsible for reshaping after devouring the world, and then it will be the next world [Akatosh], and they will be completely unable to fight the dragon god as dragons.
As for the brothers and sisters of the comrade-in-arms, they really won't shirk, I heard that if they want to fight the dragon of destruction, maybe their morale will be high, but the problem is that they are likely to lose the power of the werewolf when fighting, although others don't know, but Arthur is clear about the fact that the "God of Hunting" Helsing has fallen, and the power of those bloodlines may still be used in Nairn, and if you want to pass through the well of souls, you will probably disappear directly.
Then there's the army and mercenaries of the snowman, heh, not to mention whether Arthur can mobilize them, I'm afraid that Alduin can make them scatter with a snap of his fingers - if it can snap his fingers.
Sophie...... No, this is absolutely not good, although she has no reverence for Alduin, and is very angry that Sarlonir was killed once, but the difference in strength cannot be solved by anger, and her stunt "eat everything" will definitely not work for Alduin.
So, as a result, he can only take a dog to single-handedly take on the "Devourer of Worlds" Alduin, anyway, even if Babas dies, he will automatically resurrect in Veer's realm in a few hundred years.
"[Well, I'll go back when I go. Arthur soothed the little white dragon who was struggling with Locknier, and then took Babas into the air.
————
"Wangha, fighting with Alduin, it's exciting to think about it~" Babas laughed loudly: "Even if you fail, it's nothing~ It's a good dog again after five hundred years~"
"Why dogs? Arthur decided not to take on this obviously obscure topic, so he asked instead.
"Who knew Wang, probably Weir often lied to people and needed to bring a dog that symbolized 'loyalty' to increase persuasion?" Barbas was lying on Arthur's back.
"But how did I hear that you are often sold? Arthur responded.
In many legends, Calavicus Veil would make "deals" with mortals, often asking to "kill the talking dog", and Babas played a role in the story to dissuade mortals from being deceived, but seven times out of ten he was killed by "greedy adventurers".
"Hmph, will you sell me? Woof! Barbas refused to answer, and asked rhetorically.
"It depends, but with my size, it's a bit unrealistic to ask you to block the knife. Arthur glanced back at Barbas.
"Woohoo! Blocking knives? Don't even think about it! "The earth dog was furious.

For the dragon form, there is also a very troublesome problem, that is, the eyesight has been greatly enhanced, and even a rabbit hiding in a hole on the ground can see clearly when it is high in the air, although it sounds good, but Arthur's own ability to "see death" has also increased, and when his gaze swept across the sky, black smoke billowed everywhere, and the border area of the control zone with the Imperial Legion and the Storm Cloak was especially thick, and this black smoke was currently surrounding the snow, and it was unknown what they were both planning.
As for the destination of the trip, Brasilin ...... Hey?
In Arthur's vision, there was a terrifying, but vaguely familiar "Vortex of Death" in that ancient ruin.
Is that Baron Winterhold and the Academy's Chief Mage, Zela Pesh? But what are those two things next to them?
Next to the huge black vortex, there are two trumpet "death vortexes", to be precise, there seem to be two people who alternately fall into a mortal situation, and when "death" rises from one of them, the "death" on the other body disappears, and then inexplicably shifts back.
Arthur ignored Barba's complaints for the time being, and vigorously flapped his wings and hurried towards Brasilin'an.
It's close enough to see clearly.
At the center of the great maelstrom, Lady Zela Pesh was talking to a middle-aged nobleman whom Arthur seemed to have seen somewhere, and the nobleman's bodyguard interjected from time to time, as for the two strange death maelstroms next to her...... A looming petite figure was walking back and forth behind the nobles and guards with some sort of sharp weapon, seemingly unable to decide which one to backstab first.
What the hell are those two idiots talking about, making the princess angry like this?
