Chapter 346: Passages and Vortexes

My name is Akatosh,

I'm going to another Songgard, and it's a little exciting to think about.

——?? :?? ——

Arthur "woke up".

At this time, his location is a very strange, infinitely extending "passage" in front and back, the "wall" of the passage is in a closed circle, composed of countless stars that pull out streamers because of their speed, they suddenly appear in front, and at a very high speed, they sweep past the four people and a dog and disappear far behind, and when looking out of the passage from the gap left by them, only a pitch black can be seen.

He didn't feel any restraint now, but after subconsciously taking two steps to confirm this, he immediately retreated back to his place.

If you think about it carefully, since the first few teleportations were "instantaneous", it means that their state of "post-teleportation" is certain, and if he changes his position in the "teleportation" state that did not exist in the first place, unexpected problems may occur, if it is only some damage to himself, but if it will cause damage to the host of this "teleportation"-

Thinking of this, Arthur turned his head to look at Zela, who was behind everyone, and was shocked.

She "died".

Unlike the previous Ladia, Amir, and Babas, they were eerily still in a state of eerie stillness, but apparently still possessed life and soul, as if they were asleep standing up, with the same eerie mask on their faces

And now Zela, no one with the slightest sense would think that she is alive, although she stands steadily with the staff in hand, the mask disappears like herself, and she has lost any sign of having life and soul, like a corpse, or rather, a statue.

If there is anything special about it, it is that she, like Arthur, has disappeared from the mask on her face at some point.

In Arthur's view, her body was always entangled, and even if she left temporarily, it seemed to be disconnected, which meant that the complete disappearance of the black vortex of "imminent death" was the most important evidence, and there was no "death" entanglement at all, and there were only those dwarven machines left except for ghouls, skeletons, and vampires.

"Zela!?" Arthur rushed over.

Although he knew that doing nothing at this time was the best choice, and the previous few teleportations to Zela were fine, then maybe this "death state" was one of the necessary conditions for teleportation, but since he could wake up by himself, it meant that there was something wrong this time, what if he continued to teleport like this, and she still hadn't recovered after arriving at the exit of the "channel"?

However, due to Arthur's approach, black "blood" began to flow from the corners of Zela's eyes and mouth, and as the distance between him and Zela shortened, Arthur finally had to stop and think about countermeasures.

Obviously, the "passengers" in this "passage" can't get too close to each other, or rather, they can't get close to Zela, but even if they do, Arthur doesn't have any healing magic or carry any healing items, and it is Zela herself who is in charge of these things.

“Las…… Ya…… Ni! Arthur, who didn't dare to go on, frowned tightly and tried to read a dragon roar to Zela that Greybeard had taught him.

Just as restoration magic is not treated well by traditional magicians, this healing dragon roar Greybeard is not taught seriously, but is just casually taught, and Arthur didn't think it would be used one day, so he only made a rough note, which of course had no effect at this time.

"Whew-" Arthur exhaled deeply and began to think desperately, his efforts might not be effective now, but if he really did nothing, he would not be able to forgive himself after "going out".

Laas…… Yah…… Nir…… That's right, it's these three pronunciations that heal all injuries and even restore magical energy, but they only work on dragons and dragonborns - of course Zela is a dragonborn, and you can't be wrong.

"[Laas Yah Nir (Dragon Soul Healing)! Arthur shouted the dragon's roar to Zela.

Perhaps by illusion, Arthur seemed to tease when he saw Zela's godless eyes.

—4E, 201, Frostfall Moon, 3rd, 18:03 -

"Welcome to Blasilin Ann—"

It seemed that only a moment later, the members of the comrade-in-arms group who entered the "whirlpool" in the snow man, as well as some supernumerary personnel, crossed a very long distance and directly arrived at the ruins of Brasilinan, located near the entrance to the Shalido Labyrinth.

"Boom!"

Most of the people remained in the same position as they entered, and were looking left and right with a little curiosity, except for Arthur, who seemed to be unsteady on his feet, slamming his head into the outer wall of the Salidor Labyrinth.

“…… Arthur, haven't you been here? Why are you so excited, the wall is crying? Zela turned to look at him with a smile.

"There~There—" Arthur didn't have time to make any hole in the wall, gesturing at Zera's eyes and mouth.

"Huh? Ahh I can't......"

It's not asleep, it's almost dead, okay? Arthur wasn't surprised that the "black blood" had turned into water stains, and if a teleportation ended and the caster's face was covered in blood, no one would let her continue.

Obviously, this time is different from the previous ones, the same people, the same spell, sent a part of the untested directly to Blasilin Ann, while the other group of people who passed the test arrived thousands of years ago in Blasilin Ann, and then returned after witnessing a certain historical milestone and arrived at the same time as the previous group.

This spell is obviously the result of her messing around, if she doesn't do anything, Zela will ......, no, it shouldn't be possible to really die, but the soul is definitely damaged, after all, it was undoubtedly in a state of "death" before.

Her purpose in doing this is, of course, to screen out candidates who will not be harmed if they enter Songgard, which is no different from the previous times when she went to annihilation, but screening out Palasos and replacing it with Lydia is probably because her shield has been blessed by [Sgramer], and even if the princess guard is willing to die for the princess at any time, his own strength is still hard.

This act of understatement, silent giving and sacrifice in places that no one knows...... Should I say that she is worthy of being the saint of [Akatosh]?

However, by coincidence, it is still known by himself, hehe.

"Hey, don't look at it, 'Lord Baron,'" Ella waved in front of Arthur, "people have made it clear that they don't like you." ”

"What? No, I'm just ......" Arthur thought for a moment, and found that he couldn't explain why he was staring directly at Zela, "I'm just thinking about something. ”

"It's useless to think about anything, you have to save the world once or twice first~" Satya raised an eyebrow at him.

Aren't we going? Arthur turned to Lydia, who had the same experience, but the female guard smiled at him and said nothing.

Greatly, it turned out that the work of the baron's guards did not include protecting the baron's reputation at all.

——18:26——

“…… Here's why. After tidying up her meter and retracting her mask, Zela finished a short speech: "It's not that I have doubts about your strength, but those who can't reach the time of the last time Alduin appeared, there will be no possibility to fight against them, I know that everyone is not afraid of death, but there is no meaning at all?" ”

"Even if I shoot it in the eye with an arrow?" Ella tugged on the bowstring twice.

"It's hard to explain, but the 'shot' itself doesn't happen," Zela saw that Ella seemed to be arguing, so she added: "In the Overworld, you can't miss a target ten meters away, but in the realm of the Demon God and the Holy Spirit, it's up to them to decide exactly where the arrow will go, unless another equal force prevents this interference." ”

Indeed, Arthur thought, the previous times, 'Morag Barr' was in a state of serious injury, and the soul mound had no owner, unlike Songard, who was completely controlled by Alduin, and he himself could create an avatar in the Overworld to resurrect the dragon and cause trouble for himself.

"If we insist on following up?" Satya rolled her eyes, clearly refusing to give up.

"I'll use a similar screening mechanic to the passage over there, and if I can break through, of course it's fine, but it's best not to use magic or items that take a long time to use once, which means you don't have any means to fight Alduin other than that thing." Zela shook her head: "But bringing everyone here will naturally not be idle, when we attack, Alduin will definitely bring the dragons back to attack and want to destroy the entrance, then please let everyone guard it." ”

"That's fine." Wilcas began to look around, trying to find a suitable place to hide and attack.

"I want to protect the princess no matter what." Palacos clenched his fists: "Alduin can't deal with it, can't he deal with his men?" ”

"This really won't work...... Zela thought for a moment, "but if it's the Sharp-Eyed Eagle Grand Commander, it should be fine." ”

"I'm going to send a signal." Parazos turned and walked away.

"I'm going too!" Sophie ran over and grabbed Arthur's armor: "Otherwise, eat Xueman!" ”

Who did you learn from this threat...... Arthur couldn't laugh or cry.

"Hmm......" Zela looked at the sky, as if looking at someone, but there was nothing in the sky: "It's okay if you keep the dragon form, the white dragon is not under Alduin's jurisdiction." ”

"Great!" Sophie held Arthur's arm and refused to let go.

"Hmm......" After seeing that there was no one around to have any opinions, Zela raised the staff in her hand towards the Salidor Labyrinth: "Everyone get ready, whether it's offensive or defensive." ”

With the fluctuation of some kind of magic, a huge swirling green swirl appeared at the original entrance of the Salidor Labyrinth, and a huge skull pattern faintly appeared on it.

"This time, I'll go first." Zela said as she stepped into the "maelstrom" first.
