Chapter 314: Greybeard (3)
Indeed, Halfina almost immediately grasped the knowledge of the dragon's roar rune, and even more powerful and unrelieved power, this time even shaking the ground a little, because the flames of the entire courtyard shook the light scattered in the room a lot at the moment when she spoke.
In other words, the more dragons the Dragonborn can kill, the better Halfina will theoretically understand the Dragon's Roar, the more knowledge she will have, and ultimately, the more powerful she will be.
Even beyond Greybeard.
Later, as it was confirmed, several people arrived in the halls of Hogarth's Heights, and the Greybeards handed her a new Dragon's Roar: Whirlwind Energy.
It seemed to be some kind of accelerating power, and Erli visually inspected it, and the speed of the instant burst could barely be half of her own, but as for flexibility, it was not so convenient.
However, Halfina herself should be able to make good use of it, and this dragon roar is very suitable for escape.
Afterwards, the Greybeards gave her a mission as a final test for the Dragonborn: to retrieve Jorgen Windcaller's Horn, a relic of Graybeard's founder, a sacred relic for them.
But when Halfina asks for some details, Aerlie notices their problem.
Graybeard had only four people, but they said they had five.
The fifth is their leader, Patumnax, who lives alone on the top of the Throat of the World.
However, the road to the top of the mountain was entangled in a terrible blizzard, and the biting cold was not something that could be resisted by a few more clothes: it was some kind of defense, and she reached into the gap to feel it while a few people were not paying attention.
The ice particles in the cold wind directly scratched her skin, and at the same time, the blood that had just flowed out instantly condensed at the location of the wound, and it didn't take long for it to reveal the color that only the corpse could have if it was frozen.
How did such a person climb the mountain? With the help of the Dragon's Roar?
"Xiaobai, can you hypnotize?"
"If you say physics, you can too."
“……… Forget it..."
He had just walked out of the Hogarth courtyard, and before the three of them could talk again, Ellie struck Lydia on the neck, causing her to pass out.
"Ellie?!"
Subconsciously supporting her Wu Wei, Halfina looked at the abuser just now with a shocked expression.
"Sister, I'm afraid I'll have to go up the mountain to have a look, there may be something I'm interested in.
Don't worry, I'll send you down, you just have to fool Sister Ladia. ”
"You're going up the mountain?"
"Yes, I want to see the leader of the Greybeard.
It seems that he is a little reluctant to meet people. ”
"Him?"
Stunned for a moment, they disappeared in the starry sky, and Elle sent the two men back halfway up the mountain, where there were no people or animals, so no witnesses could see how they got out.
But then, Ellie looked up at the blizzard-wrapped peaks and narrowed her eyes slightly.
Then, she opened the gap and moved her body directly to the top of the mountain.
There are no snowstorms on the top of the mountain, but such a high place, combined with the severe cold of the sky itself, is not a very pleasant place, but the starry sky above the sky is very beautiful.
Ellie looked around and saw nothing, no buildings, no flames, not even a cave, just a ring stone wall on it, and it was so badly damaged that it was impossible to see what was written on it.
She fell out of the gap and stood on top of the mountain.
It wasn't any different, the thick snow was exactly the same as what I had experienced in Northern Europe, and there was no trace of magic, let alone a sense of life.
However, there was a strange feeling here, not for Elle herself, but for the letter inside herself.
"No one?"
"No, think about it differently, maybe it's not human?"
"Aren't you curious how the dragon's roar passed from the dragon to the human?"
I did think that the fifth Graybeard was not human, but if it was really as Xiaobai said... Elle herself really didn't think about this directly, she thought it was just a half-human of an unknown race.
"You mean...?"
"That's right."
Suddenly, Ellie took out her weapon and looked up at the sky.
A silver-white dragon hovered and flew towards here, its claws and mouth were stained with fresh blood, but its wings were tattered, like the testimony of a warrior after countless battles.
But the broken wings didn't interfere with its movements, but still hovered smoothly in the air, its eyes fixed on Erri's body, as if to suspect her identity.
"Be careful!
If I'm not mistaken, it's Graybeard's mentor.
And, probably, only a little worse than Alduin. ”
The demon fully opened up his sense of battle and sank his body slightly, and at the same time, Ellie was ready to take out the magic equipment and force the use of the letter paper to return home.
The silver dragon hovered in the air for a long time, and finally, intending to come down and ask the strange creature, it flapped its wings a few times, and shook the snow under it along the strength of its body, and flew out.
The broken stone wall is where it rests.
“……… Who are you?
How did you get into my mountains? ”
Extremely old, but with a deep voice of absolute majesty, he questioned the Ellie who had arrived here.
"I didn't expect Graybeard's mentor to be a dragon.
I'm Elle Edentville, a visitor from another world. ”
The scales of the silver dragon, with the years of fighting, have turned into a combination of scorched yellow and scars, but even so, it still reveals a completely different aura from ordinary dragons.
It sniffed the air, then straightened itself slightly towards Ellie.
“Geh…… I feel it, from another world, you come from a Lein...... A world that I don't feel like belongs to.
So...... What are you doing here?
Are you after Drem? …… A peace...?
Or Kein? … A war? ”
"I'm just curious why the fifth man didn't appear on top of the Hogarth Peak, but lived alone at the top of the mountain.
Now, though, none of this has anything to do with me, Patumnax, Alduin has returned.
I don't know exactly where you stand, but when a Dragonborn sees you, are you ready to be killed by it? ”
“Dovahkiiin…… Yes...
He could have surprised me...... But those who are able to climb to the top of this mountain will naturally abandon this idea......
… He has the blood of Dov, then, he is of the same race as us.
Jul… They will only understand what they can understand, and they will not be able to surpass their insight.
…… I chose to suppress my own nature instead of being like Alduin, my brother.
Bring destruction to the world. ”
