Sou! A rusty axe flew in, and the powerful impact instantly shattered the skull of the first robber.

Bernardo crossed the limp half of the corpse, and the dagger in his hand folded at a precise angle, cutting off the second robber's hand and neck.

The remaining two, with a roar of despair, rushed towards Bernardo in unison.

One of them slashed his sword to the head, and Bernardo nonchalantly picked up the severed arm of the corpse at his feet and threw it at the rushing enemy. Taking advantage of the panic caused by this move, Bernardo easily sent the dagger into his chest.

Magical energy gathered around his left hand, turning into a scorching flame. When the last man, seeing that the situation was not good, forcibly stopped his charge, and fled almost desperately towards the temple hall in the distance, a fist-sized flame projectile passed through a distance of hundreds of meters. The violent explosion caused the tissues around his chest to be ablated in an instant, leaving a huge hole in the corpse, and plasma evenly distributed around it.

"Whew...... It's not that difficult. In less than half a minute, there was no one alive around the small watchtower except Bernardo himself.

He looked up at the huge building not far away, towering over the snow-capped mountains.

————————————————————————

Bernardo poked his head out of the crevice in the hidden rock, and carefully surveyed the entire colony in front of the temple.

The Hanluo Temple is one of the masterpieces of the ancient Nord people's construction skills. The main peak of Hanluo can be said to have been completely hollowed out, and the blue-black obsidian stone pillars support nearly a hundred suspension bridges that have been carved into the shape of a keel. After several epochs, the frescoes that tell the story of the ancient Arunds fighting the dragons are still visible.

Hungry snow wolves hovered outside the stronghold, barking sleepily, but afraid of the powerful armament of the robbers entrenched here, they did not dare to act rashly. Several eagles swooped down, trying to snatch the scraps of meat left on the ground, but after their companions were shot down the cliff with sharp bows and arrows, they no longer dared to act rashly, but they did not want to give up the hard-won food in this winter, and for a time they all entrenched themselves on the nearby bridge piers.

Under the stone bridge, there is a huge square divided into six parts by thousands of bluestone steps. The heavy bluestone slabs form six dragon patterns of different shapes, and the direction of the dragon's head all points to the large altar in the center of the square.

In ancient times, when dragons and dragon sacrifices ruled the sky, tens of thousands of slaves and commoners became sacrifices under the sword, and the dark black blood washed the exquisite carvings over and over again, and the black blood stains had penetrated deep into the depths of the stone slab lines, even after several epochs of rain and frost, they were still distinct. Travelers, robbers, and archaeologists all try to avoid this place, as the wails of the dead terrify their souls.

"It's a big place." It's almost the size of God's richest city, Bernardo thought to himself.

It's just that although the scenery is good, the disadvantages of the teenager's actions are a little unpleasant. There were only a few dozen robbers in the square at the moment, but they all seemed to have received some order, and they were concentrated near the huge arch outside the temple. The few patrols only walked around the center of the square casually, and there were many archers standing on the stone bridge.

This simple but Hongda spatial structure can be said to be a great challenge for stalkers. Without camouflage, no matter which direction you pass from, you will be easily spotted by the archers on the stone bridge.

So, what's next?

A head-on breakout? If you're just cleaning up the bandits, and don't think about what happens after you break into the temple, you can do that. All you need to do is use some potions. It's just that...... Touching the bottles and cans in his pocket, Bernardo finally decided to keep those things behind.

What if it's to create chaos and sneak in? It's not impossible, but in that case, one can only expect that the person in charge of the current robbers is a stupid idiot.

The temple's doors are also covered with Gounod-style carvings and runes, and the Gunod's steel-made gates are even more secluded by the wind and frost, and no one knows exactly what exists in this underground palace that has existed for thousands of years. If it weren't for the presence of the Imperial Legion and the heavy snow that has cut off all food and economic resources for the bandits, the bandit leader and his subordinates such as Avel would not have tried in vain to challenge the unknown monsters under this underground with their humble arms of hundreds of people.

Wait a minute. Monsters underground?

What are the possible monsters in the Skyrim Catacombs?

Frost spiders with high poison and ancient ghouls with blue eyes are common. While among these spiders are an ancient race of meters long, and among the ghouls are ghoul lords who are fully ebony - but most people know about and are prepared for them.

However, there are some creatures that are not easily ignored.

With a soft sigh, Bernardo silently nodded in the distance, in the direction of Wintercastle, "I'm sorry, Professor Phoenix." ”

After a brief silence, a black-purple flame with an ominous aura burned on the boy's hand.

————————————————————————

"Ah......h

He woke up in a daze, looking at his companions gathered in the distance, enjoying the warmth of the hot matchstick, and then looking at his own embarrassed appearance in the cold wind, and he couldn't help but feel jealous.

However, to lose is to lose. The rule here has always been that the loser of the brawl is responsible for patrols that no one wants to do, and he is a frequent visitor who often fails and is sent away.

As long as you don't go to the terrifying altar over there, which is said to have killed tens of thousands of people, this square, just take a turn around.

As for the bunch of fellows who hid under the slate eaves and enjoyed the warmth of the scorching fire and the delicious pancakes...... He all thought maliciously, hoping that the endless layers of fire, frost, lightning, venom, twin thorns, hanging blades, nail plates and other mechanisms in your ancient tombs would kill there!

A gust of cold wind carried small snow particles on his face, and his already cracked skin ached slightly, interrupting his thoughts. He glared at his companions viciously again, and went on patrol again.

"What the damn weather......" he muttered under his breath. If it weren't for this huge snowstorm that kept going on for days, the boss wouldn't have had to find another way to explore the treasures in the depths of the ancient tomb. Although the golden dragon claw was indeed beautiful, he didn't think that any of his human beings could understand the dense ancient Nord script on it. There will be rich people in the big cities who will take a fancy to such a thing and will put it in a cabinet as a collectible, so it would be nice to sell it for a good price - he thought.

In addition, it is the glass sword stolen by the boss...... It is beautifully done, and it is said that a large amount of refined moonstone and malachite were used to treat the body of the sword. There are several rune slots on the hilt of the sword, which are inlaid with dense emeralds that serve as a medium for the transmission of mana. The sword has a powerful frost enchantment on its body, and it is said that you can feel the chill when you get close to this sword for a few meters, and there is no doubt that this is a top-notch enchantment of the permanent level. The last owner of this sword must have been an excellent magic swordsman, and this sword left him because of his death or something like that. It's very simple, how could someone who could handle such a sword be casually stolen like that Avel said? It must have been a lie made up by that idiot at Avel.

Thinking like this, he didn't notice at all that in the direction of the watchtower, several figures he was very familiar with were walking towards the square he was patrolling in a strange manner.
