In the First Age, there was a lord in Skyrim named Hakon, who was afraid of death, so he made a pact with the demon god Morag Baal, who sacrificed thousands of his people to Morag Baal, who in turn turned him and his family into vampires.

In this way, Hakong no longer has to worry about death and can live forever.

Since this vampire was transformed by the demon god Morag Barr himself, their abilities are stronger than ordinary vampires, and they don't even have to worry about being burned by the sun, but their abilities will be slightly weakened in the sun, and this vampire is called the Vakihar Vampire......

And now, according to the information obtained by the organizer of the Dawn Guard, Isran, and the vigilant Duran, it is the Vakihar vampire and its minions that are frequently active in Skyrim Province during this time!

Also, they learned something about The Elder Scrolls, and that the vampire was looking for some kind of artifact, most likely some scrolls! And that's exactly what they're talking about at this moment, even if the dawn guard castle hall breaks into the hall of the castle, one big and one small, they can't interrupt them.

'Duran! ’

'Why did you come to us?' If I'm not mistaken, I've had nothing to do with the vigilantes for a long time......

'No! ’

'Ishran, I think you know why I'm here, we vigilantes are being attacked everywhere, and those vampires are more harmful than we thought! ’

'I see, so, you're here to take refuge in our Dawn Guards, am I right?' ’

But I remember that Kesit, the guardian of the Vigilant, kept telling me that the Dawnguard Fortress was an ancient ruin that could collapse at any moment, and that it was not worth the expense and expense to repair it? ’

'Well, now you've the vampires, and you know they're great, but you're coming here to me for help?' ’

'Isran ......'

Actually...... Kasiti is dead, in fact everyone in the House of the Vigilant is dead, you were right at the beginning, and now that the situation has been verified, isn't all this enough?! ’

‘！！ ’

'What do you say?!' ’

'Vampires, they continue to kill us vigilantes! ’

‘……’

I never thought things would come to this point...... I'm sorry for that...... But, Duran, I've warned all of you before about ......

It's too late to say that, they're all dead!" ’

'yes, it's late......'

‘……’

"Huh?!"

(???? ▽????)？

Anne had just followed the spirit boy Agmaier into the recruitment hall of the Dawn Guard when she saw a bald uncle and another bald monster arguing fiercely over something, and it sounded like it had something to do with the vampires.

However, she only listened to two sentences and became a little impatient.

Because, all that mess has nothing to do with her...... Whether it's a vampire or a werewolf, or a dragon or some other messy creature, as long as they don't provoke her, she certainly won't be able to provoke them......

At least, not for the time being?

Therefore, after watching the two Shu Huang for a while, she just looked around curiously in this so-called dawn hall.

"Hey......"

(lll￢▽￢)

Looking at it, Anne was soon a little disappointed......

Because she found that this place really seemed to be just a tattered, improvised abandoned castle?

Except for a few brand-new, slightly rough flags that have just been hung on the walls of the old castles, there is a desolate look of 'four walls'! In addition to the cobwebs that had not had time to be cleaned at all, there was only a mess of ancient garbage that had been swept up and temporarily piled up together, and had not yet had time to be cleaned up.

From this, it can be seen that their group of warriors, who claim to be the Dawn Guardians and are dedicated to hunting vampires and protecting the people of Skyrim, must have only just taken over this place?

Since even the outermost hall was so swarthy, Anne could guess what the passages and more places in the hall were like, without even thinking about it or looking at it.

So, in that moment, she lost the desire to sneak in and wander around, and stood bored with the spiritual brother Agmeier, waiting for the two bald adults in the middle of the hall to finish all the rambling nonsense.

（…… ）

(●￣(??) ￣●)

‘……’

But Duran, you see, you know we're here, a lot of people know we're here, they know what we're doing, I think, the vampires know that too, right? ’

'I'm worried if we'll have time to rebuild the Forts of the Dawn......

'If all of you vigilantes are killed, I think the next step for them is us!' ’

'Who knows? Maybe, after all, you're really a little too ostentatious......

'Or, you don't have to worry too much, Isran, because I've recently discovered that those vampires, they seem to be looking for something important, and I'm afraid they won't have time to take care of you anytime soon......

‘！！ ’

'Duran! I don't think that's good news......

I know that, but what else can I do? ’

‘……’

After the two continued to talk for a while, the bald head named Isran finally noticed the situation at the castle gate, and signaled the man named Duran not to continue talking about those things before he walked over with a heavy face.

“？？”

"Who are you?"

"Oh! Sorry, please forgive my attitude, I just talked to my friend about some heavy topics, so it caused a little bad mood......"

"That's right!"

"You! Boy, don't hide, I mean you...... Come, stand in front of me like a man, don't be afraid, tell me, what is your name, and what are you doing here? ”

Ishran let out a breath to stabilize his emotions before beckoning, allowing Agmeier, who had suddenly become a little cringe, to walk up to him and try to ask the other with a kind expression.

"Sir, sir!"

'I-My name is Agmer......

'Huh! Take it easy, lad, do I look like an officer? ’

'You don't need to look at me with that expression, I'm not a soldier, we're not an army here, we're just a bunch of brothers and sisters who have faith, honor and common ideals, and have come together for a common purpose, that's all......

'Good, good! Your Excellency Isran? ’

‘……’

'Forget it! ’

'Stand up and look at you, it's from the farm, right?' Where, though, about your weapons?! ’

'In, here!' ’

'Look? This is my father's axe, and I've used it to kill several wolves and protect sheep more than once! ’

Hearing the words of the bald head Isran, the spirit boy Agmaier quickly pulled out the small axe on his waist.

'Your father's axe?' ’

'Huh! May Steindel bless us......'

Ishran smiled wryly and prayed to the God of justice, mercy, and mercy, and to the Holy Spirit, the apologist of humanity before the Holy Spirit.

Obviously, the quality of the newcomers who have been guarding the castle of Dawn for the past two days and reporting to him and expressing their willingness to join the Dawnguard really doesn't seem to be too strong? In the face of this kind of young man who has no enthusiasm but is mostly an ordinary farmer, what can he do but accept them with a wry smile and find a way to train hard?

'Forget it! ’

'Don't worry too much, young man, go over there, grab that crossbow over there, and I'll train you to be a qualified Dawn Guard!' But, now let me see your aim first and make sure you don't shoot an arrow in my ass when the real fight begins? ’

If you want a farmer to become a powerful warrior and face those terrible vampires as soon as possible, there is no doubt that it is absolutely impossible! However, if you want a farmer to develop combat power as soon as possible, then a crossbow with powerful attack power is the best choice, and there is no one!

After all, a crossbow doesn't require as much arm strength and manipulation skills as a bow and arrow, it just needs to wind the crossbow machine with your foot, place the crossbow arrow, and then aim at the enemy and pull the trigger, which is very simple.

Even the worst farmer, as long as he has enough head, as long as there are enough of them, even if he faces a giant dragon, he can theoretically be shot down, not to mention those filthy vampires!

'Crossbow? ’

'But, Your Excellency Isran, I have never used that kind of weapon, I have only seen it a few times......

'Relax, kid, I know you haven't used it, don't worry, they're simple, come over here, take it, point the arrow at that box, and shoot a few arrows......

'Hey! Hey! Be careful! ’

'Listen! I want you to remember: don't aim it at any of your teammates at any time, if you don't really want to murder him? ’

'Ahh I'm so sorry I don't know ......'

'Alright, don't get distracted, keep in touch, I'll keep an eye on you, and I'll train you to be a qualified warrior!' ’

'Yes! ’

‘……’

??

Sou~!

Sincere!!

A few paces away, a crossbow bolt was inserted accurately into a wooden chest, but that kind of accuracy was not very flattering......

'Excellent! ’

'I announce: you are now a new warrior of the Dawn Guard!' Practice hard, I'll come over to check your results later, don't be lazy! ’

After instructing and signaling the farmer boy to start training in a decent manner, a certain bald uncle Yi Shiran, who looked at the other party's quasi-head and was a little noncommittal, just wanted to turn his head and leave to go about his business, when he suddenly spotted a cute little girl wearing a long blue dress and standing on the side, blinking at them with those blue eyes.

"Wait!"

"Who are you, little one, and why are you here? Oh! I remember...... You seem to have come with him, looking at your age with him, are you his sister?! ”

Isran was sure that there had never been such a well-behaved and cute little blonde girl in their Dawn Guard fortress, so he stepped forward as a matter of course, and asked as he asked curiously.

'No, it's not! She's not my sister, I didn't know her before, she actually happened to me on the road, and she came with me to Dawnguard Castle!! ’

Without waiting for Anne to answer, Agmayer, who was still a little nervous, quickly turned around and explained.

“！！”

"Damn! Get out of your arms, newcomer! ”

"Don't put it on my chest...... Don't put it in my head either, unless you really want to kill me and go to those vampires alone?! ”

After snorting a little harshly, after asking a certain recruit to remove the dangerous weapon that had been wound and arrowed, and making sure that the other party would not make that mistake again, Yi Shiran blackened his face and looked at a certain little girl who was looking up at him again.

"Hi~!"

(?????? ▽??????)

"Hello bald uncle! Her name is Annie, and she's here to join your Dawn Guard!! ”

(*???? ╰╯`??) Hey~??

Anne, who originally thought that this place was not fun and wanted to leave, suddenly changed her mind and changed her words after hearing the other party's question, I don't know why.

"Just you, little one?"

"Ahh

It's rare that the bald uncle Yi Shiran, who thinks he's heard enough bad news today, suddenly looks up and laughs. Obviously, he was amused by the smart, well-behaved and cute little guy in front of him.

"Little girl, do you want to join our Dawn Watch and hunt down that evil vampire? You are brave, but what will you do? A little guy like you, I'm afraid I can't even lift a crossbow, right?! ”

"We're not going to want a guy who can only eat and not fight......"

Smiling, Yi Shiran stepped forward, wanting to rub the head of the little guy in front of him who looked very well-behaved and cute.

It's a pity that he found that the other party didn't seem to accept his kind actions, but cleverly avoided him, and stared at him with a dissatisfied little look?

"Don't touch people's heads casually, they don't know you well!"

s (???? ˇεˇ????) ゞ

"Alright then......"

"Little one, do you want to try it like him? If you could be like him, if you could shoot one or two arrows out of ten arrows, I might make an exception and let you stay here? ”

That's just a possibility, and even if the other party can really do it, he definitely won't let a little girl stay in their castle guarded by dawn.

"But can you afford to lift that thing?"

After speaking, the bald uncle Yi Shiran, who was holding his arms, threw a playful and ridiculous look at the other party. He didn't think that this little arm or leg, or any rich girl, could afford to carry such a heavy crossbow, let alone step on it to wind them.

"Humph!"

(???? ╭╮????)

"People don't have to practice that clumsy crossbow like that useless guy, they will have more powerful skills!!"

?? 乛?? 乛??

What's so great about being able to carry a crossbow that Anne wouldn't envy that stupid fellow!

Moreover, she wouldn't tell this bald uncle that she was not only very accurate, but also very powerful, and even could break the toe bones of that kind of dragon with a single fist?

And if she could get it, she would have no problem smashing the dragon's head with a single fist, let alone a broken crossbow made of wood! For Führer Anne, who is tired of playing with guns from all over the world, the crossbow machine is too backward, the attack range is too short, it can't shoot continuously, and the lethality is too low, so she doesn't bother to play with them!

"Oh?"

"More powerful skills? Tell me, little one, what do you order? If you can't convince me, I'm afraid I'll have to send someone to send you back......"

"Trust me, we're really not suitable for a little guy like you here, because we're busy and no one will have time to take care of you!"

Yi Shiran obviously didn't believe in the clever little little bit who could have any great skills, so he was already thinking about who he was going to send to send this little girl back to her own home safely...... Perhaps, they could drop them off at a farm near Rift Valley tomorrow, when Duran and their Dawn Guard were ready to join forces and send someone to the cavern to investigate?

He believed that since this little creature was able to run to their castle guarded by dawn, then her house must be nearby, right?

"Why don't you guess first?"

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

Anne was not in a hurry to say, because she was also urgently thinking about what kind of strength she wanted to show?

“……”

"Sorry, little one, I really can't guess......"

Yi Shiran can't guess, and he doesn't have time to guess! Anyway, he thought, it wouldn't be interesting, or a skill that would make him change his mind and agree to accept the other party as the Dawnguard.

In short, playing with mud or peek-a-boo, it must not be counted!!

“……”

(???? ω????)

（…… ）

(●￣(??) ￣●)

"Look! That's ...... This one!! ”

?????? (??) ╭???? Hey!

Anne threw a radiant ball of light directly at the bald uncle who was standing in front of her, holding his arms and waiting to see her joke, and then managed to create a curved light barrier on the other person's body, making him look shiny, like a holy light protector, surrounded by an aura of light, protecting him from a certain amount of physical or magical damage.

（…… ）

(lll￢?? ￢)

(It doesn't take much guesswork for Tiebs to know why this wretched little master of his family would suddenly use the skills of a light mage named Laxana Crownguard...... It's nothing more than being afraid that someone will recognize her as the terrible demon god who committed the earth-shattering 'big crime' in Snow Man City, it must be like that! ）

“！！”

"It's ......"

"This—this is ...... Magic?! ”

After gently reaching out and touching the transparent golden ball of light around him, and feeling the protective power of righteousness like the sun on it, the bald man Yi Shiran was shocked, and then quickly looked at the little girl with an incredible gaze, completely unable to believe that the other party really had such a skill that was enough to make him change his mind.

"It's light magic!"

(^_??) ☆

"They're as effective against vampires as the sun restrains them! Well, bald uncle, do you now agree to someone joining your 'Dawn Guard'? ”

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

Anne knows, the other party must not be able to refuse this temptation! Of course, it doesn't matter if the other party refuses, because she has more things that the other party has to accept!

For example......

She could pull out a lot of gold, tons of the kind, and then let them go to someone to repair and clean the dilapidated castle, and buy a lot of fine weapons and armor to arm all the Dawn Guards?

"You ......"

"That's not right! Who the hell are you, little one? Is it some Holy Spirit-favored saint?! ”

Surprised for a while, completely ignoring what Duran or others around him thought, Yi Shiran directly exclaimed.

Such a small guy can learn spells, and Yi Shiran is still a little reluctant to believe it after all! So, he couldn't help but start thinking about it.

"Not really!"

o(?? ^｀)o

"He's just a mage, he's a great mage of light, Anne Crownguard!"

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

In desperation, Anne quickly gave herself such a resounding nickname and name, called 'Anne Crownguard', and said that for the next period of time, she would only use that kind of light magic, and she didn't deliberately deceive the other party!

（…… ）

(●￣(??) ￣●)

"Light, mage of light?"

"Hmm......"

"This is defensive shield magic, right? Seems useful...... But what other moves do you have besides this? ”

After a deep sigh, although he felt that the other party's skill was very useful, he was still a little hesitant about the identity and origin of the other party, and he didn't dare to casually trick a child into joining him, the dawn guard who had just been created, so he asked worriedly.

"Of course there is!"

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

"People will also have 'Bondage of Light', 'Singularity of Light', and the 'Ultimate Flash' that can blast your dilapidated castle into a pulp, do you want people to perform now?"

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

"However, it's a spell with a huge range of damage, and the power may be a bit great, and it may hurt or kill a lot of people!"

|?????? ω????)????

As she spoke, Anne began to look around, and was thinking about who to use as the subject of the experiment, or where would it be better to use it?

“！！”

"Nope! Don't try! ”

"Master Annie! I can now announce that you have successfully joined our Dawn Guard! ”

Now that the other party has proven that he is not lying, Yi Shiran still dares to let the other party show that kind of hurtful spell here that can blow up the dilapidated ancient castle that they have found with great difficulty? So, he hurriedly spoke up and stopped the other party.

As for the question of whether it was good for such a little girl who didn't know where she came from to join them, he just left it behind.

Anyway, they have recruited more members of the Dawn Guard during this time, as long as they are not vampires, as long as they want to hunt vampires, they will all come, let alone a little girl who seems to be very powerful and talented! Besides, even if the other party's elders come to him, he is not afraid! After all, in a sense, they are guarding and protecting each other's safety, and they don't really want to be unfavorable to them.

"Great!"

?? *???? (ˊ?? ˋ*)???? *??

"What is that person's position now?"

o(?? ω??) o

"This ......"

"We don't have any positions...... Perhaps, you are the first rookie mage in our organization?! ”

Yi Shiran hadn't thought about this kind of problem yet, after all, the personnel of the Dawn Guard had not yet been recruited, and he had not even determined what position he was as the leader.

"Huh?"

∑(?? △｀)？！

"No way!"

?? (?? ﹏??、)??

"No matter! You bully people, people are so powerful, can it be just a newcomer there? People have to be big officials, so don't be a rookie mage of Lao Shizi!! ”

?? (?? `^????)??

That's right, Archmage Anne said: With her such a high-end and atmospheric, low-key luxury and connotation of the mage of light joining, they don't beg and coax it, why do they still want her to be a rookie mage, how can that?!

Anyway, she must be a big official, a big official in the 'Dawn Guard', if she doesn't give it...... If she doesn't give it, she'll show them it!!

?? °(°?????????? °)°??

（…… ）

ε=(???? '●))) Alas

"Huh?"

"Well, don't worry, let me think about it first......"

Yi Shiran, who can't coax children, has no experience, and has never had a good way to deal with some kind of unreasonable children, hurriedly stretched out his hand to signal and comfort, and then began to think in a hurry, as if he really wanted to come up with a new position that could appease the other party a little?
