Chapter Ninety-One: The Dragonborn's Plan
"Whew...... It seems that Lady Hildan has gone back to take care of the Queen. Hearing that there was no movement at the door, Helliga rolled over and sat up from the soft bed. Soon, he regretted doing so. Because that feeling of powerlessness was accompanied by sharp pain, which invaded his internal organs again.
"Whew...... Ever since Richard's guy didn't know what he was doing underground, this body had been like this...... "Heiliga clearly remembers Bernardo's assurances last time that he wouldn't easily run out and harass himself - but this time, it always felt like he was calling out to himself?
"Hmph...... I can't help it, but forget it, I also have something to ask him. Heliga pulled out a red potion from his hand, "I took the initiative to find him last time, and this time it looks like he's looking for me......"
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"Huh? What the hell is this......" When he woke up again in that familiar and strange space, Heliga suddenly realized that something was wrong. The dark and deep environment of the past was gone, replaced by a dark blue that filled the entire space, and the self-proclaimed dragonbornβor boyβwho always had a wicked smile on his face, was nowhere to be found.
Without the focus point that appeared with the Dragonborn body, Helliga could only float powerlessly in this situation until he suddenly felt a violent fall-
Naturally, after a sharp fall, it is natural to hit something at the end. That's true, but there's no pain, not even real.
"Don't think about it, this is your own inner world, how can there be such a real-world thing as pain......" Bernardo's familiar voice sounded, but it sounded very weak, and when he turned his head, Bernardo, who had always been in good spirits, was lazily lying on the ground, looking unable to move normally.
"It's ...... What's going on? This situation left Heliga confused.
"As you can see, my power in this space has also degraded a lot...... I already know why. β
"What is the reason?"
"Loss of power." Bernardo looked at Heiliga meaningfully, "I seem to have explained it to you before...... Dragonborn, in essence, is the body of a human plus the soul of a dragon, and the dragon's roar is the language of the dragon in a sense. But this power is not endless, and in Tamriel, the recovery of magical energy can be aided by potions, but the damage caused by the dragon's roar can only be restored through time. And you've used a lot of dragon roars in this short period of time, which has caused my power to decline accordingly......"
"Hmm...... So you're calling me back this time just to save me? Heliga thought about it, and it was really important.
"yes...... But that's not really the point, because I seem to have found another way...... And there is value in trying. Speaking of this, Bernardo seemed to forget his sad face for a while, and his tone became mysterious, "Don't you think it's a particularly embarrassing thing to have to use your power sparingly in the future?" β
ββ¦β¦ Oh, yes...... You can't use something so powerful...... Well, my roar isn't as powerful as you describe. β
"That's my own effect, not your ......," Bernardo cried and laughed, "Even in Tamriel, apart from dragons and dragonborns, only the Nords who have been blessed by the goddess Ginares can acquire this skill by learning it the day after tomorrow...... Of course, power depends on that person's understanding of the purpose of spitting, and his own strength. You've been able to use it, it's already thanks to me, and you still want to be like me? β
ββ¦β¦ Oops, that's really ......" Touching his nose embarrassedly, Heliga tried to change the subject: "So, what do you mean?" β
"I forgot about it before...... But when I think about it, when I was over there, it seems that at some point I was blessed by Ginalais. Bernardo smirked, "And I've been able to be sure that this blessing is still on me, and that it can affect you in this way...... The problem is that we have to broaden the path of energy transfer......"
"Wait." Helliga listened confused, "What energy transmission path?" β
ββ¦β¦ Oops, I forgot to explain to you the most essential core issue. That's what I thought about not long ago. Bernardo looked up, "Do you remember what I told you about my defeat of the dragon Alduin as the Eater of Worlds?" β
"Know...... And I heard that this is the prophesied mission that belongs to you. Hyliga nodded, as if this was the dragonborn's greatest achievement as a hero, "In this way, prevent Alduin from devouring the world and save humanity." β
"In a sense, it's a script written by The Elder Scrolls." Bernardo smiled wryly, "In the era of dragons, Alduin is a truly invincible monster...... The three predecessors of Songard, each of whom was not much weaker than me, were easily defeated by the black dragon as if they were playing, until Old Mr. Hakon ignored Patunax's warnings and used the Elder Scrolls to banish him from that time, bringing him to my time, and I would defeat him...... It's all a script written by the scroll itself. In other words, it's just a predetermined fate. β
"In other words, Alduin has weakened?" It was the first time Heliga had heard him talk about this.
"Yes, but it's also inevitable." Bernardo nodded, as if glad that Heliga understood what he meant, "But it's not his own problem. A large part of his power comes from the fear of humans and other dragons for him, and this similar blessing makes it impossible for humans and other dragons to defeat. But my time, thousands of years after his wreaking havoc, and the prophecy of Alduin's annihilation and return have been passed down among mankind for thousands of years...... And the dragon clan completely disappeared after he was banished. Therefore, mankind has long forgotten the horror of the dragon's domination over mankind, which naturally leads to his strength being much less than before. He tried to regain that prestige, but before his plan could be completed, I defeated him. β
ββ¦β¦ I see what's going on. In that case, everyone, even the powerful-sounding Alduin, is just moving forward according to the predetermined fate of the scroll......"
"That's right. Therefore, my current situation is completely caused by it. It didn't let me die, but found me a comfortable place to hang and live......" Bernardo didn't know if he was laughing at himself, or whatever, "We'll talk about that later." Now let me tell you what the method I found. β
