21. It's not easy to pick a lock~~
ps: I wish all the high school dogs a victory in the sky after tomorrow~~
Fire, cohabitation, vampires, urban ...... All the previous clues flashed in Asa's mind, and the originally trivial clues were quickly connected, and then thought of what Alva said to Serana, "Bear with me for a few more days, and soon the whole city will be ours", Asa's back was slightly chilled, Winter Castle, the Hall of the Vigilant, and then Mosart, Asa was a little chilled by the vampire's increasingly blatant actions recently, and his gaze at Serana became a little complicated.

I know you're not a bad person, but I'm not sure you're a good person......
Seeing Asa's complicated gaze, Serana also felt that something might happen, and couldn't help but whisper, "What's wrong?" Is something wrong? Something to do with vampires? ”
Asa nodded and said slightly apologetically, "I'm afraid I can't take you home today, the situation here seems to be a bit serious." ”
"I see," Serana nodded in understanding, and then made an offer that surprised Assa, "Do you need my help?" ”
"......" Asa was stunned for a while with his mouth slightly open, and then he shook his head resolutely and said: "Not for the time being, and the other party is probably also a vampire, you have just woken up, and I am afraid that you will regret it in the future if you let you kill your own kind so quickly." ”
“!” Serana didn't expect Asa to be so reasonable, and her heart couldn't help but warm, and she smiled: "I understand, thank you for your thoughtfulness, then you have to be careful." ”
"Well, these are breakfasts, you eat them yourself, I still have something to go out." Asa casually took a loaf of bread from the bag on the table, waved at Serana, and walked out of the house again, leaving Serana alone looking at his back and not knowing what to think.
……
Although Serana's words have proved that Alva is actually a vampire, the testimony of another vampire cannot be used as "testimony in court", so Asa decides to visit the scene of the fire in order to find more clues.
The burned-out house was not far from Farion's house, and Asa was soon there, the whole house had been burned down to only half of it, the ceiling was completely gone, and it looked even more desolate than the Hall of the Watchman. Even though several days had passed since the fire, Asa could still smell the pungent smell of burning as he got closer. Fortunately, the house was not big, and Asa endured the smell and soon came across what he was looking for...... Or people?
It was a little girl who looked to be only seven or eight years old, but her whole body was white, and if you looked a little closer, you could see the wreckage of the house behind her, and there was no doubt that it was a ghost, probably the daughter of Nakhruga who had been burned to death. As for the reason why only the ghost of her daughter is there, but her mother, who was burned to death, is not......
Asa sighed slightly, and sure enough, he found two obvious tooth marks on the little girl's neck, this little girl seemed to be embraced by the vampire when she was dying, probably because the fire was too strong at that time, and the vampire did not have time to completely transform the little girl in order to escape from the fire, which made the girl's soul not go in this human love stack.
"Uncle, can you see me?" Asa's expression surprised the little girl a little, obviously, probably not half of the previous crowd of onlookers were proficient in the Demon Dao, and Falion left just in time, which made this matter confusing.
"Well, little girl, will my brother send you to see your mother?" Asa deliberately ignored the little girl's name for herself earlier, and said with a smile.
"Mom? But Helji's mother isn't here. It turned out that the little girl's name was Helji, Asa sighed slightly in his heart, although there should be good people like Serana among the vampires, most of them are still murderous bad people, and they don't even let go of such a small girl.
"Brother knows spells, you'll be able to see your mother soon." Asa is not Akai's sacrifice, but he can also be a Akai sacrifice to the meeting (Asa has a necromancer perk's ~~~ recovery system, to say the least, it is also 70+), raised the index finger of his right hand, and the fingertips were slightly glowing with golden light, and lightly touched Helji's forehead.
"Wow!! It's such a magical spell, I feel warm all over my body...... Yikes! It's Mom! Mom, are you coming to pick me up? Well! I understand, Helji is a polite child~~~ Uncle, thank you! ”
"No, brother...... Well, Uncle just want to thank you, Helji. Asa also used necromancy to read Helji's memories while overtaking (feeling a little strange with purification), and he finally understood what happened that night:
The person who set the fire was not Alva, but a woman named Lalet. Lalett was ordered to burn Helji and her mother, but for uncertain reasons, Lalett didn't want to do it completely, and she bit Helji's neck, which turned out to be a vampire too! Unfortunately, in the end, Lalett did not succeed, the fire was too big, Helji's whole body was burned, and Lalet finally had to give up and escaped alone.
……
"You're saying your wife was with Alva all the time before she disappeared?" It was easy to find someone in Mossal, especially a man who had been abandoned by his wife, and Asa only spent two more bottles of honey wine to find out where Anthony was located from the owner who bought the breakfast, the Mosed Tavern. A Nord man with a heart in his heart can't resist the temptation of honey wine, and after only two glasses of wine, he almost has to dig out his heart to Asa.
"Not really! Obviously she hated her a week ago! In fact, she went to see Alva on the night she disappeared. But when I asked Alva later, she told me that she didn't show up, alas~~~ I haven't been able to say goodbye to her until now! Anthony gulped down his drink, then fell on the table and began to sob. The man still loved his wife, even though Asa could see the confusion in his eyes when he mentioned Alva.
Asa silently patted Anthony on the shoulder to signal him not to be sad, he didn't tell the man that his wife and the woman he had a crush on were vampires, it wasn't just a question of whether the other party would believe it, now was not the time to make a statement.
"Looks like we'll have to go to Alva's house......" Asa muttered as she left the tavern. Infiltrating a resident's house in broad daylight is not a good idea, and vampires, although more difficult to deal with at night, are much better than being suspected of burglary. What's more~~ There is a vampire beauty at home waiting for me to prepare lunch and dinner for her~~~
……
At midnight, Asa cautiously touched the outside of Alva's room, thankfully by the time he had spied on Wintercastle...... Ahem, the stealth technique that I have practiced lazily, and some guards who are not serious about duty still can't find any traces of our archmage.
But after all, he is not from a professional class, and His Excellency the Archmage is still a little unfamiliar with the skill of unlocking, and he has been secretly tinkering outside Alva's house for a long time, and this ****** has broken more than a dozen but he can't pry open the lock. This made Asa so anxious that cold sweat came out on his forehead, and he didn't even notice that someone was approaching behind him.
By the time Asa realized that something was wrong, it was already time for him to let the person behind him cover his mouth and forcibly drag him backwards! However, the person behind him was terrifyingly powerful, and unprepared, Asa was like a little baby and was volleyed out of the door by that person!
"Stupid! Don't make a sound! It's me! "Asa, who originally wanted to immediately hit the person behind him with a [flame charge], stopped decisively after hearing the whisper of the person behind him, it was Serana! Asa then noticed that there were two extremely soft objects on his back, and his face inadvertently showed a somewhat ecstatic expression.
Serana couldn't see the look on Asa's face clearly because she was behind him, and still whispered, "What stupid! I'm watching from the sidelines and I'm anxious for you! If I hadn't come over secretly, you would have been found out by the people who came over there and you would have been kept in the dark! You won't even be a thief! ”
Asa didn't even have time to blush for his lock-picking skills, and only then did he notice that there was a person not far away who was staggering towards this side, and if he was bumped into by that person, he would be unlucky, so he hurriedly wanted to struggle and quickly dodge. Who knew that Serana behind her whispered in her ear again: "Don't move! I have a way! Then I saw her stretch out her right hand that looked like mutton fat and white jade in the moonlight, and with a faint flash of purple light, Serana's right hand disappeared!
Wrong! It's not that it's gone, but it's become transparent, and you can still see a little outline, and not only your right hand, but even yourself and Serana have become transparent!
Expert-level illusion - [Stealth Technique]!
Assa's position as Winterhold's most outstanding mage in recent years is certainly not something he boasts about, as evidenced by the fact that he had no objection to Ran taking over as chief mage after Winterhold's downfall during the Winterhold crisis. At a young age, Asa is already a master-level summoning mage, an expert-level change mage and an expert-level recovery mage, and the destruction department is also about to reach the expert level due to the recent surge in fighter opportunities, if you want to say that the only shortcoming is the illusion department, Asa has barely reached the level of an intermediate illusionist so far, [stealth technique] He didn't say that he wouldn't, just using it once, he almost lost more than half of the mana in his body......
In this regard, Asa said that he would lash out at the Venerable Delevis Neroren of the Illusion Department of Winterhold Academy! This thing didn't even know that he had failed when he was teaching Asa stealth, and after being pointed out by Asa, he always said that you should be the only one who can see it, and in the eyes of others, I am transparent to fool myself! So far, Asa hasn't completely mastered the trick of [stealth technique]!
"Don't move, so he can't see us!" Probably worried that Asa would panic and not figure out the situation, Serana leaned into Assa's ear and explained in a very small voice. The faint breath spilled into Assa's ear, and even though he hadn't drunk, Asa was about to get drunk.
Fortunately, at this time, he could already see the swaying figure, which seemed to wake him up with a basin of cold water! At this time, Asa was very glad that Serana was still covering his mouth, otherwise he would have almost called out the man's name!
It's actually Anthony I've seen in the morning! What is he doing here!?
