A few days ago, the chief mage of Winterhold Academy, Tovdir and other mages tried their best to get the treasure they found in the ruins of the city of Sathir, which they had probably studied and named the 'Eye of Magnus', through the magic wells with beacon effects in the academy.

Soon, most of the mages in the entire Winter Castle Academy began to conduct relevant research around the 'Eye of Magnus', which contained powerful energy, and the students' courses were naturally put aside first.

As for some of the problems of a little girl student who had talked to the chief mage and had also used spells to 'counter back' the mentor, the little girl who had been in the spotlight for a long time, and I didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, so she was gradually ignored and forgotten by the mages of Winterhold Academy.

Actually, it can't be ignored, because now almost all the mages in Winterhold Academy are attracted to the 'Eye of Magnus' that releases powerful energy...... For the Winterhold Academy, which has been digging up the remains of ancient tombs for countless years, and it is the first time that such a magical thing that seems to contain extremely powerful energy, if they can't study it properly or make use of it, they will probably have trouble sleeping!

But......

That had nothing to do with Anne, for she was happy that no one bothered her anymore, and that she was free to wander and explore in and around Winterhold Academy and the town outside, Winterhold.

Of course, if that town could be called a 'city'?

When she first came to Winterhold, Anne always thought that the town outside Winterhold House was just a settlement formed by relying on Winterhold House, just like Hogsmeade outside Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?

But who would have thought that town, it was really the real Winterhold?!

Of course, if it were more accurate, it would be a small part of the once bustling city of Winterhold?

Because in the year Anne saw in the library, in the year 122 of the Fourth Age, there was a tsunami and a major earthquake in the territory of Winterhold, and most of the once prosperous Wintercastle was destroyed, except for the intact Winterhold Academy and the current so-called Wintercastle City, the entire city disappeared overnight......

That's why Winterhold began to spread rumors such as 'the tsunami was due to the experiments of Winterhold Academy' and 'Winterhold Academy deliberately used a tsunami to attack the territory', which basically intensified the conflict between Winterhold Academy and the territory residents and feudal lords, which is also the reason why Anne was faintly hostile and coldly treated after wandering around this Winterhold during this time and explaining that she was a mage.

"Uh-huh......"

???? (???? ｀??)??????

However, whether it was cold reception or hostility, for Anne, as long as those people did not interfere and influence her to play and wander, she did not bother to pay attention to them...... Because she knew something from those books. The tsunami may have had nothing to do with Winterhold Academy, but rather with the Annihilation Crisis or the Red Mountain eruption in Morrowind, since Wintercastle is a territorial city and is not too far from Morrowind, so it is normal for it to be affected by a tsunami caused by a massive earthquake under the eruption of a supervolcano.

It's just that Anne certainly can't explain that kind of thing to those Nords who can't read a few words, and their guys with a very low level of education are unlikely to understand the inevitable connection between the earthquake and the tsunami!

Besides, her recent visit to the Winterhold Territory is almost over, and for Anne, who has already visited most of the Winterhold Territory, visited the ruins of the Sky Sanctuary Temple, visited the altar of the demon god Azula and demolished most of the statues, and also visited the Shadow Shelter, with more and more people here in the Winterkeep Territory knowing her, she is almost going to change places to continue to plague the Skyrim.

‘！！ ’

'Ahh ’

'Help!! ’

'Run! Monsters! ’

'What's that?!' ’

'Quick, hurry up and report to your lord! Just go!! ’

'Uh-ah-ah-ah......'

'No!! ’

‘……’

Suddenly, Anne, who was wandering around in the snow in Winterhold and was about to go back to Winterhold Academy to get some things, suddenly heard a burst of noisy confusion and terrible cries for help from people in front of her.

"Huh?"

(??????.??????)????????

"What's going on here......"

|???? ω?? `)？

Then, when she was curious and ran in the direction from which the sound came, she saw a riot of arcane energy, something similar to a mana floating dragon, wreaking havoc in the 'city' of Winterhold and wantonly attacking the buildings and the few remaining residents of Winterhold?

"Oh!"

! (;?? o??) o

"Could it be that those stupid guys in the academy blew up that Eye of Magnus?"

∑(っ°Д°; )っ

The so-called 'Eye of Magnus' Anne had seen it a few days ago, and it was nothing more than a magical device with relatively powerful energy, and it was not a big deal.

So, she had only turned a blind eye to it a few days ago when it had been brought back into the Elemental Hall by their mages and the headmaster, Savos Aran, and had never thought to be a part of their.

But who would have thought that now she would find that the energy in the castle of Winterhold Academy was extremely chaotic, and even the chaotic arcane energy similar to the mana floating dragon appeared when she went to Winterhold City?

"It seems like it's really ......."

(???? ω?????? ‖)??

Of course Annie knew the mana floating dragon, and that thing was originally found in Quel'Salas and other areas with abnormal mana in the world of Azeroth, and they were all concentrated in areas where arcane energy exploded, especially after the Well of the Sun was detonated?

However, what appeared in front of Anne now was still some chaotic, arcane energy with a little chaotic and chaotic consciousness, and it seemed that it was still a lot short of the kind of mana floating dragon that was formed.

'Help.....

'Ahh ’

'Run! ’

'Here, come here......'

'Wow!! ’

“……”

|?? ˙?? ˙)？

"Okay then, people can just help......"

?? (ψ?????? ˇ????)????

Seeing the chaos in the city, seeing the abnormal energy of the Winterhold Academy in the distance, and feeling that he should help Anne a little before leaving, he resolutely grabbed a fireball, causing it to emit a huge arcane energy.

Then, let the emanating arcane energy directly attract the chaotic magical visions that were scurrying around and attacking the people of the house in the distance, due to the excessive amount of magical energy.

‘！！ ’

‘？！ ’

Sure enough, as soon as Anne made a move, the chaotic magic anomalies that were spinning around and attacking everywhere were like sharks smelling blood, quickly stopped, and turned around and accelerated towards Anne's side.

To their chaotic magical visions, a little fireball in the hand of a little girl that exudes pure arcane energy has a deadly attraction! And the consciousness is chaotic, and they only know how to destroy and attack the cathartic power, so there is definitely no reason to refuse.

"Hey!"

(??????????????)?? ~

"Arcane Torrent~!!"

?? （?? `▽????) ╭????

Arcane Torrent, which is a small spell in which the High Elves of Quel'Thallas use their own arcane friendly bodies to instantly absorb magical elements within a few yards of the surrounding area, and cause the surrounding area to enter a state of elemental disorder, so that enemies within a certain distance cannot cast spells for a certain period of time, achieving the effect of silencing enemies.

However, at this time, the arcane torrent that Anne cast did not absorb the surrounding magical elements, but instantly absorbed and disintegrated the magical energy on the magical anomalies that were attracted to her, and gathered them to her fingertips, so as to achieve the purpose of easily destroying them.

"Hah! This little thing still wants to attack people? ”

?? (ψ｀▽′)????

After disintegrating a dozen or so of those small things that resembled mana floating dragons in an instant, Anne pouted boredly at the cloud of arcane energy she was holding in the palm of her hand.

In her conjecture just now, their appearance was nothing more than the energy of the 'Eye of Magnus'...... And now look at it, after taking action by himself to directly deprive them of the chaotic energy, I found that it was indeed the energy in the big ball!

So, what I didn't say, it must have been those mages in Winterhold Academy who studied or stimulated the big ball 'Eye of Magnus' indiscriminately, so that such a mess was created?

Looking at the chaotic city of Winterhold now, looking at the frightened inhabitants and destroyed houses, Anne didn't have to think about it to know that this time, Winterhold Academy would definitely be even more disgusted by the Nords here!

After all, if there is no definite evidence that the previous tsunami that caused most of the city to disappear and countless Winterhold people to die in the sea was caused by some evil experiments of Winterhold Academy, then, this time, even people who don't understand magic know that today's incident must be the same as the castle in the distance that was in the middle of the cold storm and snow, and there was still a faint burst of magical energy, and that Winterhold Academy must be the culprit of this incident!

“！！”

Suddenly, at this time, without waiting for Anne to continue to do something, two mages in the distance ran briskly towards Anne's side.

“？？”

It turned out that it was the destruction mage Falauda and another mage Arnell, who had originally planned to destroy the magic visions that were causing chaos in the city of Wintercastle, but how could they have imagined that they had only eliminated one or two of them not long after they ran out, and they saw that the visions seemed to be attracted by something, and they were gathering in this direction?

And when they rushed over in curiosity, they were stunned to find that it was the little girl who joined Winterhold Academy more than ten days ago to do a good deed?

That little guy, she actually gave more than a dozen magical visions at once, and used some unknown means to instantly absorb all their magical energy and gather it on the tips of her fingers to form a small ball of light containing a lot of energy?!

"This ......"

"Annie! You—How did you do it......"

"Wait!"

"That's not right! You have this power, and why should you study at Winterhold College? Who are you?! ”

Subconsciously, after Falauda, who was in charge of guarding the gate of Winterhold Academy and reviewing the newcomers, saw the little girl's performance, she felt that she was only afraid that the two of them were far inferior, and she was even more unable to wipe out more than a dozen magical anoicules in an instant like the other party, so she finally realized something, and asked with some vigilance and suspicion.

To be honest, if she hadn't known that what was happening at Winterhold Academy had nothing to do with the little girl in front of her, maybe she would have attacked it a long time ago, right?

"It's really ......"

(ˉ▽ ̄~) cut ~~

"Didn't people tell you at the time that they have very strong mana, super power, and a lot of magic? What's all the fuss about?! ”

?? (ψ｀▽′)??

Under the frightened gaze of the Mages Falauda and Arnell on the other side, Annie, who had grabbed and destroyed the energy mass in her hand, and was not at all worried that it would backlash or blow up her palm, clapped her hands with satisfaction, and then said indifferently.

"Hey!"

o(??????????) o??

"Can any of you tell me what's going on in Winterhold Academy, why is the energy inside suddenly rioting, and there seems to be a mana storm vortex that is gradually expanding?"

(??????.??????)????????

Compared to the magical visions that she had easily wiped out by herself, Anne was obviously more concerned about the situation in Winterhold Academy. Originally, she was going to go back to Winterhold Academy to get some things, but now something went wrong inside...... So, if she could, if it wasn't troublesome, she wouldn't mind doing a little favor.

‘……’

‘……’

Although there was still a slight hesitation about the other party's strength and true identity, after glancing at Arnell, Falauda, who felt that this matter really had nothing to do with the other party, sighed and said:

"That's right......"

"It's really going on in the academy!"

"Somo Magic Advisor Ancano has launched a rebellion! He didn't know why, he suddenly made a move on the 'Eye of Magnus' and controlled its energy, and killed the chief mage Savos Aran, and Tovdil was also injured a lot, and now that guy has completely sealed the Elemental Hall with a shield like an energy storm, we can't attack and stop him, so we have to come out first to destroy the magical anomalies that have escaped in the city of Winterhold......"

Although he still subconsciously felt that the other party might not be able to help much, Falauda, who felt that it was okay to talk about it, explained what he knew to the little girl who had just helped them eliminate those difficult things.

“！！”

(?????? д??????)!!!

"What? That bad old headmaster, that chief mage is also dead? How is this possible? That pointy-eared Ancano family knows, and he can't beat that bad old man with that little ability!! ”

=???????? (?????? *)

Anne was obviously reluctant to believe this, because with the power of that elf, it was obvious that she could not deal with Savos Aran as the chief mage!

After all, that bad old man is not only powerful, but also a thief, and even recognized his identity and disguise early in the morning, how could a cunning old guy like that be killed by that Ancano?

Even a sneak attack is unlikely!

Who doesn't know the people in Winterhold College? On weekdays, that bad old man and the counselor Somo who always likes to dictate the affairs of the academy have never been very harmonious, and in the case of vigilance, how can they be easily attacked by that villain?

“……”

"It's a pity, but the Chief Mage is dead, and his body is now lying in the courtyard of the castle......

"The power of that 'Eye of Magnus' is beyond the imagination of all of us, and this time it is really troublesome."

Shaking her head, Falauda still frustrated herself by stating the truth that made the mages of their Winterhold Academy feel extremely aggrieved and angry.

“……”

(ー`?? ー)

"Really dead? Really, it's useless to be so spicy!! ”

s (???? ˇεˇ????) ゞ

Looking up and frowning, she glanced at the location of the castle of Winterhold Academy, and found that a certain chief mage named Savos Aran appeared, and that the shrewd nasty old man dark elf seemed to be really dead, Anne thought about it, and then looked up angrily and strode in the direction of the castle.

Because, although that bad old man is indeed a burp, there are some things she always has to do.

‘？？ ’

‘！！ ’

'Hey! Where are you going, little one?! ’

Stunned to see the other party passing by his side, neither Falauda nor Arnell dared to stop or do more, but after seeing that the other party had walked a long distance, seeing that the other party had left a long list of footprints on the snow in the city of Winterhold, and seeing that the other party's destination seemed to be the bridge of the academy, they hurriedly asked out loud.

"Of course it's going to the academy and clean up that Ancano villain!!"

|?????? ω????)????

Anne wouldn't tell them that she herself had already seen that pointy-eared guy unpleasant!

Because, the other party even commanded her several times, and interfered with her many times to go to the library to read those more interesting story books, and destroyed several negative record books about Suomo, so that she couldn't finish reading those complete 'stories', so she had long wanted to find a chance to beat the other party!

Now that the other party has launched a rebellion and killed the chief mage, the bad old man she doesn't hate too much, then she has to say that she has to be good, and the communiqué will beat the other party for a personal vendetta.

Maybe......

Maybe she'll let out her bear Tiebs and let him bite off that guy's head and let him know she's awesome?

（…… ）

??????????

↑ Super fierce!

‘！！ ’

'You ......'

'Hey! Little one, you're not kidding? Are you sure you can beat him?! ’

If it weren't for the fact that he had just seen the other party destroy those magical visions with an understatement, Falauda would definitely not believe that the other party could deal with that Ancano! So, while catching up with Arnell, she couldn't help but ask again with some strangeness.

"Well!"

╮(╯▽╰)╭

"You still don't mind that kind of little thing, you can't beat it, won't you know later?"

(???????? -)??

'But! ’

'Now that Ancano has taken control of the Academy with the power of the Eye of Magnus, he has sealed the Elemental Hall with the Energy Vortex, and we will definitely not be able to enter!' ’

Chief Mages Savos Aran and Tovdil have tried to get in before, and they have succeeded!

However, it's a pity that the two of them didn't have time to do something, and the chief mage Savos Aran didn't have time to take the head of the Somo advisor Ancano, and was directly blown up alive by the other party using the power of the 'Eye of Magnus'..... and now, the elemental hall was also completely protected by the other party with a more powerful energy vortex, no matter who it was, it would definitely not be able to enter.

"People know!"

(??????????) Ay!

However, Anne, who was trotting briskly in front, did not listen at all.

She simply replied, and continued to trot up and down the snow toward the House Castle, ignoring the horrified, suspicious, angry, and hostile eyes of the dead and wounded inhabitants on either side of the streets of Winterhold.

'Wait! ’

'I don't know who you really are, but little one, I advise you to give up! ’

'Tovdil and Mirabel are trying to control the situation inside, and the other students and mages have been evacuated, so what's the use of you going in now?' ’

'Hey! ’

'Stop! Danger inside!! ’

‘？？ ’

'Listen to me!' ’

'Only by finding that Staff of Magnus will we be able to break through that energy vortex, break through to the Elemental Hall and defeat that Ancano!' ’

After chasing after each other, they reached the bridge at Winterhold Academy, and Falauda and Arnell stopped.

They didn't chase any further, because they had their own mission, and they had to consult with the other mages and find a way to find the staff she had just talked about as soon as possible! Otherwise, Winterhold Academy would really be all over this time!

Although that Somo bastard and that Ancano are not very powerful, in this situation, no one will be his opponent, anyway, under the powerful power of that 'Eye of Magnus', they can't think of any good way for the time being.

"Maybe......"

o(*?? ︶?? *)o

"But, anyway, it doesn't matter if people go in and have a look!"

o(?? ▽｀)o =3 =3 =3

Anne didn't care about the dissuasion of the two, after knowing the truth of the matter, and thinking that there seemed to be nothing fun here, she just thought about quickly solving the matter here at Winterhold Academy, and then get her own things and go to other places, so that she would not wait for them to go to the 'Staff of Magnus' that she didn't know where it was, and didn't even know if it was useful!

Moreover, in Annie's opinion, isn't it just a wrecking ball containing powerful arcane energy, even if it activates the energy vortex shield, what's the big deal?

Wait and see, she has a way to clean up that guy named Ancano, and clean up that Sholm advisor who doesn't do good things in Winterhold Academy every day!

（…… ）

(●￣(??) ￣●)

"Besides, who told you to think about going to archaeology all day long, and then digging up other people's graves and taking things from the dead?!"

(??????????????)

"Look, something big is finally happening now, right?"

(???? ω????) Deserve!

After grimacing at the two slightly stunned fellows, Anne turned and ran straight to the bridge, not caring if the two had any other thoughts.
