9. The Staff of Magnus (Today's First Update)
PS: The next chapter will be at 2 pm!
Marissa had been awakened by the cold wind that Skyrim Province was known for, and the cold wind mixed with fine ice particles made her almost unable to open her eyes, but she could also guess from the touch of her legs and the slight but rhythmic shaking of her legs.

"Awake?" As if sensing Marisa's movements, the person carrying her back spoke.
This voice, which had not been known for a long time but was already nostalgic, made Marisa's mood a little mixed for a while, and it took a long time before she spoke: "How did you escape?" ”
"Please, don't you have a little confidence in me," he said, but Asa's voice was also a little self-deprecating, and he said, "I brought you out after defeating Moroxi in a serious way." By the way, how do your wounds feel? You've lost a bit of blood, and I'm afraid you won't make it. ”
Although Asa wanted to change the topic, where could this be hidden from Marisa, her eyes widened when she heard that Asa had defeated Moloxi, and Asa couldn't hear what she was saying behind her, and couldn't help but say urgently: "How is it possible!?" How do you beat ...... Not!! Probably involving a wound, Marisa's pretty face couldn't help but wrinkle before she finished speaking.
"How could it not be? I'm a top student of Wintercastle, and I'm a wild kid from the Saidi Order...... Ah! You're a dog, huh? Don't bite, don't bite! Am I wrong? …… Call!! Anyway, you don't care what I do, it turns out that I won, wouldn't it be good? When she said this, Asa's tone was a little sullen, and Marisa, who noticed this, guessed that it might be some secret of Wintercastle, so it was not easy to continue to ask, and then she remembered the main purpose of this trip, and subconsciously tightened her arms on Asa's shoulders, and said hurriedly: "What about the staff of Magnus?" Why didn't I see it? You won't forget to take it!! ”
Seeing that Asa who was carrying him almost had nothing but the hooded archmage robe, Marisa, who was almost sure of his own conjecture, strangled Asa's neck with both hands that became even harder, until Asa was strangled and coughed repeatedly, then he noticed that his unintentional action almost sent someone back to the west, and he was so frightened that he quickly let go of his hands.
"Ahem!! You! Ahem!! It almost killed me! ”
"But, but I'm not in a hurry by you! No, without the Staff of Magnus, how are we going to deal with the Eye of Magnus? ”
"Who said I forgot to take it? I was afraid that I would carry you on my back, so I deliberately tied you behind you, you didn't see it! Asa refuted angrily, and Marisa realized that the staff of Magnus was tied to her body just right, and she couldn't help but be surprised: "It's really the staff of Magnus!?" So you haven't forgotten! ”
"Look at what you said, after suffering so many crimes, if you forget to take it in the end, then if this world is destroyed, it will really be unjustly killed."
"Then why don't you hurry back to Winterhold? Why are you still slow here! You want to kill me? Marissa's anger had subsided by this time, and it was more out of her nature to say this.
"You and your sister are really worthy of being born by the same father and mother, both are the masters of the acute son, what's the hurry, don't you see that this place is already very close to Wintercastle? Speaking of which, it's all your fault, if it were just me, I would have used [Teleportation] to hurry up a long time ago. In order to take care of your injuries, it took more than a day in vain to ride in a carriage. ”
"What did you say!? Isn't there only two days left until Ancano finishes his prayers!? ”
"You're too lenient, we've been in La Brinsian all day! Today is the last day! "Ancano had been praying for more than three days before Asa returned, during which time Aran and the others tried to stop the prayer but caused a loss, Asa only rushed back on the fourth day, and hurried to Labrinsian on the evening of the fourth day, and did not leave Lablincian until dawn on the sixth day, and today is already the afternoon of the seventh day. Time is of the essence.
"How so!? Then why don't you just take the carriage to Winterholder? Still wandering around here? Marisa was so anxious that she felt the wound hurt again, but she couldn't do anything about it now, and said in a voice that was about to cry.
"Do you think I want to carry a big living person on my back in this ice and snow to play in the snow? Not long ago, word of the vampire attack on Wintercastle had already spread! None of the coachmen were well-informed, and when they heard that they were going to Wintercastle, it was already their duty to send us three miles away. ”
"Then why don't you hurry up and run! Believe it or not, I'll whip you with this stick! Marissa was about to use the staff of Magnus as a whip, Asa had to helplessly speed up his pace, in fact, his heart was also in a hurry, if he hadn't worried about Marisa on his back, he would have spread his feet and galloped!
……
By the time Asa and the others arrived at Winterhold Academy, it was already nearly evening, and the situation at Winterhold Academy couldn't have been worse. Despite his mental preparations, Asa couldn't help but grit his teeth. Originally just a temple of the elements, now Ancano's magic barrier has expanded to the entire academy! From the gate of Winterhold Academy to the center of the first magic well, the powerful blizzard that forms a barrier of magic makes it difficult to enter. Mirabelle and Tovdil had already retreated to the high platform where the magic well was, and there was no trace of ordinary students around them at this time, and they didn't know whether they had been arranged to hide or simply left this place of right and wrong.
"Mirabel! How's it going? ”
"Asa? Asa, you're back! See for yourself, the situation is that we are completely helpless! Before Mirabelle could speak, the old man told the truth like a bamboo tube pouring beans, but fortunately there were no more students here, otherwise I don't know how many students would have been scared away.
"That's basically it, Ancano's power is growing, and I don't know what kind of protective magic he uses, we can't break it at all, I hope your harvest in Labrincian can help...... Is this the Staff of Magnus? As she spoke, Mirabelle had already noticed the staff of Magnus that Marisa was carrying on Asa's back, and her eyes suddenly lit up with hope again.
"Ah, yes, this is the Staff of Magnus. Be careful, and give me the staff! Asa gently lowered Marisa down and reached out to her for the Staff of Magnus.
Marisa was a little hesitant to give the staff to Asa at this time, of course, this was not because the person who got the staff had obtained the Eye of Magnus or anything, but in this situation, Asa obviously planned to solve the matter alone again. The devil knows what kind of monster Ancano has become now, but at least he is more powerful than Moroxi! Because even here, you can clearly feel the huge and terrifying magical energy in the academy.
"Don't worry, I can handle the Moroxi, how can I be my opponent if I am a mere Somer! Ah! Bring it to you! Tired of waiting, Asa snatched the Staff of Magnus from Marisa's hand and turned to walk towards the academy.
"Asa! …… Be careful......" Marisa screamed a little louder at first, but the voice of the next few words dropped sharply, but it could still make Asa hear clearly, and she couldn't help but shake her head with her back to Marissa and laughed: "You two are really good sisters, even the words you said when you first called my name are exactly the same." Marisa, maybe this is the last time I'll talk to you, can you listen to me? ”
"You ......" Marisa was about to speak, but when she was about to reply, she saw Asa turn around and grimace at herself, "I like your original arrogant princess style more than your current delicate little woman's appearance!" ”
"You guy!!" Marisa's face quickly turned crimson, and when she was about to take something to play with her throwing skills, Asa had already turned around, and could only hear him continue with a smile: "Joking, joking~~~ It's still the cutest." ”
"Soul light~! I must come back alive! Knowing that this time Asa was really determined to die, Marissa couldn't bear it anymore, tears flowed down her face, she didn't know if she was in love with this half-elf, but her heart would never accept his death.
"Asa! Let me go with you! Mirabelle stood up at this time and said, obviously she was not worried about Asa going in alone to deal with Ancano.
"No, you have to stay here, can the old man recover the two words, if something happens to me, who else but you can take over the burden of the chief mage?" Asa shook his head calmly, and Mirabele's face flashed with struggle, and finally he could only take a step back in discouragement.
At this time, Asa saw that Tovdil seemed to want to volunteer, and hurriedly waved his hand at him, and said with a look of disgust: "You are even old and still don't stop, just you old bones, isn't it a mess to go in with me?" Do you want me to be distracted to protect you? ”
"Hey, hey! Don't be so faceless! ”
"Alright, alright, stay here! The chief mage is the face of the academy, the high-level wizard is the brain of the academy, and the five deities of your demon path are the limbs of the academy! Without limbs, no matter how good your brain is, it's useless! You're all here waiting for my good news! This is the Chief Mage's order! Seeing that the others were about to step forward, Asa's face changed, revealing the majesty of the chief mage for the first time.
"That'...... We can only wish you a victorious start! ”
"Ah, don't worry!" Asa nodded with satisfaction, shook the staff of Magnus in his hand, stared at the round orb at the top of the wand and smiled: "Magnus, if you don't want your eyes to be obtained by a vampire villain, show me your powers!" ”
I don't know if Magnus really appeared or Asa found the correct way to use Magnus's presence, the staff of Magnus immediately flashed a burst of white light after Asa finished speaking, and the white light became more and more dazzling, until everyone's eyes couldn't open it, and then it gradually dimmed, the scene was exactly the same as the one I saw in Labrincian before, except that the last time it disappeared with the white light was Marisa's mana, but this time it was the mana barrier under Ancanob that disappeared!
