My name is Akatosh,

Valhalla is still so noisy, but the food is ok,

Well? What is Sgrammer talking to himself?

—4E, 201, Frostfall Month, 7th, 08:42 —

There's a proverb in Skyrim that says a snow bear can't beat a pack of wolves, and no matter how strong a Nord is, he can't beat eight Brightons.

Although this sentence is suspected of discriminating against Brightons who are opportunistic and do business everywhere, it still makes sense.

For example, although the big black man named "Sun" can fly an Arthur or Barbas with each stick, he is still no match for the siege of other girls of different appearances and ages.

"[Well played, I admit defeat]," "Sun" said without hesitation after being flicked off the stick by Lydia and sapphire and Xiao Fu holding the weapon around his neck left and right, "[You can move on]. ”

"Wait!" Arthur saw that he looked like he was going to disappear in the next moment, and hurriedly asked, "What is the matter between you and [King Sgrammer]?" We've seen visions of Sgrammer and Valhalla a few months ago, and the situation here isn't something that can be formed in just a few weeks! ”

Arthur had several speculations as to why Songard had become the way he was, but none of them had any evidence to prove.

"Hehe......" the black giant laughed, and said something that Arthur was tired of hearing, and then his tall body was completely reduced to ashes: "O king, please ascend to the throne, everything is as you wish." ”

Damn, believe it or not, I called that snob-eyed Holy Spirit to come and give you a spiral sword to turn you into a campfire by the river?

However, nothing happened, but after "Sun" disappeared, the red light emitted by Valhalla also disappeared suddenly, as if to say, "There is no obstacle ahead, please move forward with confidence." ”

"Hmm...... There are nine more powerful ones like him? Sophie asked, blinking.

No, Yicheng strength is not that calculated...... Well, after thinking about it carefully, Arthur still gave up explaining to her, because even if he explained it carefully, he would probably only change it back with a "terrible".

So, head to Valhalla now? Arthur looked at the princess, who was surrounded by the new oracles, and Zela, who had been looking in the direction of the city in a daze—the girl in white, Lily, couldn't keep up due to the spatial shift, but stubbornly stood there looking this way.

Baron Xueman sighed and took his guards to step on the "Dragon's Back Bridge" first.

The main body of the bridge is three thick iron chains, which are intertwined with thinner chains to form the bridge deck, but the gaps on the top are not even qualified for the evaluation of "perfunctory", and there is only a symbolic chain on the side of the bridge as a guardrail.

"Things are very wrong here, Baron." Lydia walked cautiously on the bridge, frowning slightly: "I don't mention the weirdness of the rest of Songgard, but Valhalla and the 'Dragon's Back Bridge' in front of it are clearly documented, and this bridge should be made up of ...... The spine is built, and it is also the last part of the test, if you are not qualified to enter Valhalla, you will fall directly, but ......"

"I've never heard of Songard taking the souls of those who weren't heroic and distorting them to test another group of people." Arthur nodded in agreement.

"This bridge isn't difficult to walk at all, is it?" Sophie snapped to the front and circled back at the same speed, the gaps in the chains that Arthur and Ladia would fall off if they accidentally stepped into the air, and they were completely non-existent to her.

That big black guy is still deliberately embarrassing us when he disappears! After testing and discovering that he couldn't step through those gaps like Sophie, Arthur thought indignantly.

————

Due to Valhalla's ability to penetrate fog and distance on its own, the majestic ruins are revealed to the entire body after the adventure party crosses the Chain Bridge, and the effects of the fog are almost gone.

"It can't be—" Lydia was the most shocked of all compared to the Imperial Princess and her angelic companion, the Chief Mage of Winterhold, the Half-Hung Baron and his daughter and dog, who didn't care about the Nord traditions.

It wasn't clear when I looked at it from a distance, but when I came to the door of Valhalla, I found that its collapse was not at all due to the invasion of the demon gods, disrepair or long-abandonment and other barely acceptable reasons, judging from the obvious traces of knives and axes, boulder impacts and even flames, it was simply captured by "people".

It is a big joke that Valhalla, which gathers the souls of countless heroes throughout history, can be destroyed by "people" using conventional methods of warfare.

"Welcome, Dragonborn and his companions, we've been waiting for you for a long time," Arthur was about to go inside to investigate, when three glowing phantoms appeared in front of him, a true Valhalla-style shape that contrasted with the collapsed building, and Arthur looked closely at their faces, as if they were the three warriors who had banished Alduin from the illusion.

"What's going on? What happened at Valhalla? Or rather, what happened to the whole of Songgard? Arthur, who had been confused since entering, finally found someone who could answer his doubts.

"What happened? Aren't you here to solve the problem of Alduin the Eater of Worlds going to destroy the world? The three warriors looked at each other for a moment before the old man Phidir said to Arthur.

"Oh? So how can you solve the problem of the 'Eater of Worlds'? Arthur narrowed his eyes slightly, these three should be real Immortal Spirits, and their actions did not feel malicious, but it was obvious that they wanted to prevent themselves from entering this collapsed Valhalla for some purpose.

"It's very simple," the berserker-looking one-eyed Haken waved his axe into the sky, "Alduin is hiding in the fog that envelops the entire Songgard, you just need to use the 'Open Heaven' to disperse them all, and that stupid dragon will have to show up to fight you, as long as you defeat it, you can prevent it from destroying the world this time.] 】”

"Hmm...... Kesong Jiade is so big? Arthur looked up at the mist, he hadn't tried to disperse the fog with the open sky in the past two days, but it didn't take long for the fog to gather again.

"[Looks like a shrewd little brother, why is he so stupid? Huntress Glass spoke with a strange accent, and she raised her hand and pointed to the delicate horn that Sophie had around her neck: "[Didn't you see those ancient relics called the 'Flame Spiral Sword' on your way here?] Next to them, you can use the 'Open Heaven' in conjunction with the 'Wind Caller's Horn', and you need to use it about four times in different places, just a simple errand. 】”

“……”

At this time, even if it is jealous of a few (?) The girls surrounded by Amir all found out that something was wrong.

Along the way, those red-eyed geyists desperately tried to prevent the group from going to Valhalla, but the "incarnation of Jagerag" and "Sun" were basically helping them, as if as long as Arthur and his party arrived at Valhalla, they could help restore this lifeless, wandering world to its original state, and their common characteristic was that they could not see the fog that shrouded the world at all.

However, the genuine Valuhalla stands in front of Valhalla's doors completely ignore the ruined world, focusing on the strange fog and claiming that Alduin is hiding inside.

"[Go and come back!] Please drink the best wine then! Haken yelled in his loud voice, "[Remember to say hello to 'Sun' when passing by the Dragon Bridge. 】”

Do you want to say hello to black charcoal or ashes......

"The 'time' and 'space' of this world are all out of order," Zela whispered to Arthur, "for unknown reasons, but now we have to make a choice. ”

That's right, Arthur thought quickly.

The easiest option is for them to turn around and use the "Open Heaven" dragon roar to dispel the fog and defeat Alduin, so that they can successfully complete their original purpose and save Nyan from the mouth of the "Eater of Worlds" and become the hero who saves the world, but then the world full of geyers will never appear again.

The other option is to ignore the advice of these three Heroic Spirits, enter the collapsed Valhalla, meet [King Sgrammer], and "ascend to the throne", maybe you can do something about this destroyed world, although you don't know what it means to "everything is as you wish", will there be a cup that can grant any wish? No, wait...... Why cups?

"I decided to go to the 'king' first and then dispel the fog." Arthur whispered to Zela, then walked over to the three Heroes.

"Obviously, there is no hurry to dispel the fog," Arthur pulled out his "Sword of Oath and Victory" from behind his back, "Master Sgramer reforged and presented 'Witch Slade' to me, do you need to thank me in person, or is there any reason why you can't let me in?" ”

"This ......" Although the three heroic spirits were a little embarrassed, they didn't seem to be very resolute in their intention to stop them, and discussed them in a low voice, and then got out of the way: "Then go in, we won't let you in but for your own good, you will understand this." ”

At least ruled out the possibility that they were geists, Arthur nodded, and walked to the palace gate that was ajar due to the collapse.

At the same time as he stepped through the door, three golden spirits disappeared from his field of vision, and at this moment, Arthur saw countless images flying by in front of his eyes, so fast that he couldn't see the content clearly, and he could only vaguely feel endless wars, death, destruction, reincarnation, and rebirth, and the next moment, everything disappeared again, and there was only a huge hall in front of him that even if it collapsed, old, and broken, he could still feel the grandeur of the huge hall.

On the throne in the deepest part of the hall, there was a big man wearing heavy armor and holding a giant axe, more than five times as tall as an ordinary person, from the appearance, it was exactly the same as the original recast "Witch Slade", but the golden armor became pitch black, and even the "Witch Slade" in his own hand kept overflowing with black mist, and the only light source on the whole person was the faint green light that came out of the gap in the helmet.

Before Arthur could speak, a voice that had been heard before, but had inexplicably become muffled, rang out from the armor and echoed throughout the ruined Valhalla.

"I have witnessed the rise and fall of empires, the birth and fall of species, and for countless millennia, only mortal stupidity is eternal. Your presence confirms this. 】”
