"So far, we've managed to protect the Lodge from those who want to steal the fruits of our explorations, especially the Winterhold Academy who are bent on their own and want to explore the mysteries of the ruins on their own. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info "Serana was reading an expedition diary that she had found in the corner of the wooden house just now, and as Asa had said, the members of the expedition had indeed carved a passage in the ruins, and the two of them were walking on it now. "Hee-hee, do you see? People are guarding against a mage like you who doesn't work for anything. ”

Asa shrugged his shoulders and said, "This kind of prejudice is actually quite normal, and thanks to the prejudice against us from the outside world, I can grow up to be such a half-elf, because the elders and friends around me are also viewed by others from an unfair perspective." ”

That being said, Serana noticed that Asa was peeking at the list of expedition members recorded in the diary, and the sinister smile that flashed on his face from time to time indicated that the guy had clearly made up his mind to give them some eye medicine when he saw them.

(It's like a child...... After saying this in her heart angrily and funny, Serana simply spread out the diary completely, so as not to peek so hard at Asa, only to see that the diary reads:

"The members of the expedition are as follows:

Sula Tribatios (herself) - Captain of the expedition

Umana - My faithful companion and bodyguard

Wari - A mage who has nothing to do with Winterhold (took some time to find)

Indrast - A well-known local explorer

Jacob - hired to take care of the daily lives of these members, and she is very motivated

Jidal and Gizal - Tiger Brothers, as Labor Workers"

Obviously, the expedition leader named Sulla kept a diary very seriously, and each member of the expedition had their assignment after their name.

"But it's a little strange," Asa was pondering how to punish these expedition members when Serana suddenly whispered, Asa frowned, and asked, "What's wrong?" I think it's OK. ”

Serana's expression revealed confusion: "Don't you think it's too quiet here?" Even though the ruins inside were large, it was too quiet for an expedition team that could dig such a passage, and it was almost as if there was such a group of people living in it. ”

"Maybe I left because I couldn't continue the expedition because I lacked the key, after all, the key is in the hands of Septin's inspiration." Asa quickly reversed his claims, as he found traces of human life: fires, improvised bedding, pots, and barrels and crates used to store supplies, which, although unused for a while, would never last more than a week.

"Huh?" Asa soon found a new clue, that is, the remaining traces in the rice pot, and frowned: "This amount ...... It obviously doesn't match the number on the list. ”

Although Serana didn't know much about cooking, she also knew that judging from the traces in the pot, the amount of food was definitely not enough for so many people to eat, and guessed: "It seems that something happened to them, some of the members left or ......"

"Or be killed, after all, it is a relic city of Forging Mo, and traps and traps must be endless."

"Look, there's a notebook too!" Asa looked in the direction Serana was pointing, and sure enough, he found another notebook on top of a wooden barrel, but it was supposed to be a private diary, signed by Sulla, and it seemed that the expedition leader had a habit of keeping a diary of his adventures as well as a personal diary.

"Sure enough, they were hit by a blizzard, and a glacier collapsed, and they lost some of their labor." Asa quickly flipped through a few pages of his diary, nodded and continued, "They're trapped here, but it seems that the captain didn't give up...... Hmm, no wonder...... It turned out that the expedition leader's expedition results were often forcibly seized by the Imperial Army and the Imperial Mage Guild, so it was no wonder that he was so sensitive. ”

"The road down there is a bit dark, so let's do it, I'm in front, you follow behind." Serana's suggestion left Asa nodding helplessly, as it was still dim despite the reflection of the ice, and the casual casting of the illumination in an unfamiliar environment would cause unnecessary trouble. In this case, Serana, who has the vampire's eyes that can see her surroundings even in the dark, is the best choice.

"Where? I know you're hiding assholes...... You've always wanted to take it for yourself! When the two of them were walking forward one after the other, suddenly an anxious voice sounded, but it seemed that there was still a considerable distance between the two of them. Asaben was still a little wary, but when he heard what this man said next, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, "No! There must be more skumars...... Shut up! Shut up! Don't lie to me! You're hiding! You've been trying to steal it from me! ”

Dare to love is another guy who has hallucinations and auditory hallucinations!

"What is Skuma?" Serana didn't know what Skuma was, which made Asa **** a little surprised: "You don't know? ”

Serana shook her head very honestly, and Asa explained, "This thing is a tiger...... The kittens invented it with their abundant Moon Candy, and many people in Skyrim Province or all of Celedia like to drink it. However, drinking too much will be addictive, and it will make people hallucinate and become depraved, and it is forbidden to sell this kind of thing in Skyrim Province, but there are still many wild ways to buy it (ps: In the game, you occasionally meet a retailer who asks you if you want to buy something good. ”

"Tiger people? Could it be the two laborers who were written in the notes? Serana was curious, and when she heard that this thing was addictive, she didn't ask more, but when Asa said that this thing was the work of the tiger man, she couldn't help but wonder if the voice just now could be one of the tiger brothers, Gidal and Jizar, who appeared on the list at the beginning.

"Quite possibly, after all, they like it the most." Tigermen love Scuma and Moon Candy It is known that half of the ten Tigermen have a Scuma addiction. 、

"Oh? What is this? A metal spider? Serana, who was exploring the path in front, seemed to have found something again, and squatted down to check, Asa took a closer look, nodded and said, "Oh, I know this thing, it's a dwarf spider, a product of the puppet technology of Forging Mo. The whole body is made of dwarven metal, but it can be animated like a creature. This should be one of the ones that was solved by the expedition members. ”

"Oh my God, although I've long heard that the Forging Dwarves are extremely skilled, I didn't expect them to be able to give souls to metal products!" Serana couldn't help but marvel, and kept playing with the dwarven spider in her hand, as if admiring a work of art.

At this time, Asa noticed that the front seemed to be wide, so he did not notice Serana, who was studying the dwarven spider in his hand, and walked forward cautiously, it turned out to be a hall, and it seemed that they had passed through the ice and entered the dwarven ruins. On a stone table in the middle of the hall were two or three pairs of dwarven spiders that were also no longer moving, probably being used as research material for the expedition. Asa stepped forward to take a look, and sure enough, there were two books and a notebook on the side. Both books are about dwarven crafts, and one of them seems to mention the Black Descent, though the author refers to it as "The Realm of the Black Kingdom", which is a lot taller than the name Septin's implied designation.

"Huh? Here are the research notes...... Sulla again? This guy really likes to take notes...... But this may be a qualified expedition leader," Asa muttered to himself as he flipped through his research notes, then his eyes lit up, and then he sighed, "Sure enough, he was attacked...... Hmm, I see, are these dwarven golems implanted with soul stones inside? It's bold enough, and it's lucky not to be blown up. ”

A soul-filled soul stone is very unstable, and in some ancient ruins, sometimes a soul stone exposed to the air alone is a deadly trap. (PS: As you can see from the soul stone mechanism in the game, just by placing a soul stone, you can amplify the fireball and release the ice pick frost.) Just being able to discover that the dwarven spider's power source is a soul stone is a very dangerous thing, and looking at the several soul stones of various sizes placed on the stone table, it is no wonder that even Asa admires the courage of this Captain Sulla.

"Huh?" As if glimpsed something moving around the deadbolt, it looked like a humanoid, maybe an undiscovered automaton? I've got to check it out! It's exciting! 'Deadbolt? There are deadbolts here and there...... Well? Is it behind this? As he read, Asa saw something in his research notes that he cared about, but when he looked around, he saw that there seemed to be a deadbolt on the other side of the passage blocked by the fence on the right-hand side. So there shouldn't have been this fence here in the first place, damn it, it can't be opened from here...... Humanoid automaton, it can't be a dwarven centurion, right? Asa was seduced by the contents of the study notes, and Asa was struggling with the fact that he was unable to go to the other side to investigate carefully, and he did not notice that a slender figure was walking towards him from behind.
