'Are you ......'

'You're Serana?!' ’

'Wait! You...... How did you end up like this? And, what about Anne? Where is she?! ’

'I don't know......

'Perhaps, she's gone back to the sun......

'The sun? ’

'What do you mean?' ’

Maybe she's going home, but who knows? However, this is the first time in many years that I feel warm......

'That's a good ......'

Early the next morning, when the hangover Dawn Guards, the Nords, woke up from their sleep, Anne was no longer in the castle of the Dawn Guards.

No one knows where she went, just as no one ever knew where she came from......

Anyway, when Yi Shiran and the others came to her room, all they saw was a female vampire Serana standing in front of the window sill that was slanted down by the morning sun, still full of incredulity, and enjoying the sunlight while constantly caressing the skin of her own hands like jade-casting, and her eyes and body were radiating strong holy light without residing.

Of course, now she can't be called a female vampire!

Now, perhaps, in a sense, she is the Guardian of the Dawn and the Daughter of Light of Light, the embodiment of the Light, and the Guardian of the Light, Serana Lightcaster?

However, how to call it, or how to package it well, so that its existence is most conducive to the Dawn Guard and the spread of the Holy Light Church, that is a question that Yi Shiran and the others need to slowly consider in the future.

Anne definitely can't manage that kind of thing, and she doesn't want to take care of it!

Because, she felt that there was no point in her staying in the castle of the Dawn Guard any longer, and that those guys no longer needed her, and that there was nothing particularly interesting in the castle, she began her journey in Skyrim Province again, leaving only one mystery and legend after another to the people of the Dawn Guard such as Isran.

And at this time, when Isran and the others were still surprised by Serana's changes, she had already run from a teleportation south of Rift City to Wintercastle on the northernmost coast in the northeastern corner of Skyrim Province!

Of course, if it were more accurate, it should have run to Winterhold Academy?

For Anne, who was originally a mage and was able to freely use spells and capture alive an evil shadow bear from the Fossil Forest since she was two years old, it would be a pity that she could not come to the 'prestigious' Winterhold Academy, which she had heard of many times, since she had come to this world!

（…… ）

(°?? °〃)

"Tibbs ......"

????????????????

"This should be it, right?"

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

Looking at the huge castle perched on a reef in the northern part of Winterhold's territory and exuding the power of the elements, Anne knew without much guesswork that she was definitely in the wrong place.

(I don't know...... ）

(lll￢?? ￢)

(Tiebs hadn't been to Winterhold, and he didn't know if the ruined castle ahead was Winterhold Academy, but it just suddenly didn't want to talk to some bad little master, it just wanted to be quiet, though it didn't know who Quiet, and why people thought about her so often...... ）

'Hey! ’

'Little one! It's such a big snowstorm, and you're still running around outside? ’

‘？？ ’

'Hey! Ignore me, whose little girl is she? ’

'I don't know......

‘！！ ’

'She seems to be going to the academy?' Feed! Wait a minute! Little one, no idlers are allowed to approach over there, come back quickly! ’

'Hey! Stop it! ’

'Alright, alright! ’

"Forget it, man, don't chase it, it's snowing so hard now, and there's still a mage from the academy guarding the bridge, she'll definitely not be able to get in, so I'll ask when she comes back." ’

'This ......'

'Well, maybe you're right. ’

'Come, keep the fire!' ’

‘……’

Seeing a man dressed in a gorgeous blue-and-white snow dress trotting through the snow, not looking like a poor child, and stumbling towards Winterhold Academy, a Winterhold guard with his hands under the eaves to shelter from the snow shouted responsibly.

But when he had stepped two steps out of the eaves, and when his companion had stopped him, he felt that it seemed to be no good for him to do so, so he hastened back and continued to warm himself in the howling snow and cold wind, by the brazier under the eaves.

“……”

(??????)

"That's right! It's definitely here!! ”

o(?? ▽｀)o =3 =3 =3

Looking up at the stone bridge in front of her, little Anne felt that she must have made a mistake, so in the snowy town in front of the academy, ignoring the guards hiding by the eaves in the distance to avoid the wind and snow, and some townspeople sticking their heads out of the windows to check, she ran directly in the direction of the castle staircase at the end of the town.

She just wanted to visit Winterhold Academy, the largest and only magic academy in the so-called Skyrim Province, so she didn't want to deal with those guards, because it would be too troublesome......

（…… ）

(●￣(??) ￣●)

"Who is it?"

"Wait! Hold it!! ”

"Huh?!"

"It turned out to be a little guy...... Whose child are you, and how did you come here? Get back! Go back! It's dangerous, it's not a place for kids like you to play, and if you fall off the bridge, I'm not going to care about you! ”

As Anne ran up the bridge of Winterhold College and was about to walk from the pier and hole along the rocky pontoon bridge that hung high over the ice cliff to the castle of Winterhold College, which was built on a huge stone pillar, she was stopped by a middle-aged Nord woman.

"Huh?"

∑(?? △｀)？！

"Who are you? Why don't you let people in?! ”

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

Anne didn't know this Obasan, and she didn't want to, because she just wanted to go in and have a good walk around that Winterhold Academy.

"Hah! You asked me first? ”

"Then listen up: I'm a magician at Winterhold Academy, and I'm currently in charge of testing the qualifications of those who enter the academy......"

"So, little one, go back quickly!"

"This is not a place for children like you to play, this bridge is dangerous, and the gate won't be opened for children like you, so you can't go in!"

"That's it! Got, go back!! ”

After patiently explaining, the woman who claimed to be the magician of the Winterhold Academy chased Anne away with some impatience, because in her opinion, this curious little girl was nothing more than to make trouble, and if the other party accidentally fell off the bridge and drowned, it would be a big trouble.

"But ......"

(???? ˇ?? ˇ????)

"Isn't this the place called Winterhold Academy? People are here to learn magic, so why don't you let them in?! ”

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

Anne originally wanted to say that she was here to play, but considering that the other party would definitely not let her in that way, she hesitated for a moment, and after about a few tenths of a second, she quickly changed her words, and explained the more justified reason why she came here.

"Learning magic? Just you?! ”

"Okay......"

"Looks like you're like the guys who came here lately?"

"Yes, this is indeed the Academy of Winterhold, a safe haven for learning and using spells in Skyrim, a place full of wisdom and arcane knowledge......"

"Trust me, little one, it's too early for you to learn magic, I don't think you're the right place to be here, because magic is dangerous!"

Looking Anne up and down, the woman in the not-so-spacious hole smiled and shook her head. Because she didn't think that this little girl had the qualifications to enter or could enter, after all, the other party was too young to know all the words, so how could she learn profound and complicated magical knowledge?

"It's not early at all!"

o(?? ^｀)o

"Anyway, people just want to go in!!"

s (???? ˇεˇ????) ゞ

With that, Anne raised her legs and walked forward, intending to bypass the other party and then walk directly to the bridge behind the other party.

"Wait!"

"Okay......"

"Little guy, I don't necessarily have to stop you, it's just that if you want to enter, you have to pass my assessment, because Dongbao Academy only recruits students with a certain mana foundation!"

"Don't worry, a little test ......"

"If you want, you can enter the academy after passing the test, and you may not be able to stop you or anyone else in the future!"

After finding that the little girl was a little difficult and not easy to beat and scold the other party, the female mage finally compromised after stopping the other party again, and was ready to follow the process in everything, and then let the other party completely die?

"Testing?"

∑(?? △｀)？！

"Test is test!"

o(*｀ー??) o

"Now what kind of test is it? Anyway, people's mana is very strong, the super strong kind, no matter what you test, people are not afraid! ”

o(｀^??) o Hmph!

If she hadn't wanted to go to this Winterhold Academy openly and have fun, Anne would have sneaked in by teleporting, or forced her way through, so why would she be so long-winded with each other?

"Hmm......"

"Then the magic light spell!"

"This little spell is useful for any magician, if you can cast it on me, I'll let you in, how about it, wouldn't you?"

Shrugging her shoulders, the woman didn't seem to want to embarrass a little girl too much, so she said a simple little trick that probably all the mage apprentices in Skyrim would be able to do.

Moreover, that little trick is also very important to the mages of Winterhold Academy, it is something that the other party must learn, and it is normal for her to use that spell to assess.

“……”

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

"What kind of 'magic light magic' people don't know that kind of messy magic!"

(lll￢▽￢)

Maybe there will be many kinds of spells with similar effects, but it's really the first time she's heard of that kind of 'magic light magic', and it really won't!

"Won't?"

"Hah! I know you definitely won't! ”

"Well, it doesn't matter, if you think you can learn...... I'll be happy to sell you the scroll that records the magic of 'Magic Light' for thirty gold coins, but you can also buy it from someone else, and as long as you learn that spell and cast it, I'll recognize your entry here, and then you can come here at any time." ”

The woman, who felt that the other party could not and could not be rich, shrugged her shoulders, and looked at little Anne with a somewhat playful gaze and said teasingly.

Things haven't been easy for Winterhold College in recent times......

Because, due to the chaos that broke out between the Storm Cloak, the Empire, the Lords, and the Fire Demon of the snowy city in the south-central part of the Skyrim, the war swept nearly half of the sky, and the main ethnic group of the Skyrim Province was originally known for their physical skills, and they were not good at magic by nature, and they had a natural rejection and fear of magic users, plus the hostile Somo and High Elves who were hostile to the Nords were also races that were very good at magic..... so that their Winterhold Academy was rejected and hostile by the Nords. As a result, they had to face a serious shortage of students, declining quality, and so on in a bad situation.

Therefore, in order to prevent the students who come to Winterhold Academy to study magic are only the people from other provinces and the ethnic minorities of Skyrim Province, these magic teachers and chief mages (principals) have already formed a consensus that as long as they have the most basic spell-casting ability and are willing to learn magic, they will not refuse to come!

Of course, if you don't refuse, you don't refuse, but you still have to charge the basic tuition fees and the cost of some spells, and it's not cheap at all......

Syllable!

"Whoa! Gold for you! ”

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

"What about spells? Take it out and I'll take a look, people can learn it now! ”

（?? ╭╮?? ）

Anne, who was a little unhappy, threw a small bag of gold coins into the other party's arms, and then reached out to the other party at the same time to ask for the messy magic magic.

"Ah......h

"Well, here you ......"

"You take it back and take a good look at it first, and if you can learn it in a month or two, you can come here again to find me when the time comes?"

Although she was surprised, although she didn't quite know what the gold coins were that the other party had given her, but the sorceress, who felt that they were very weighty, and did not lose anything to Septine, hesitated for a moment, and then had to smile and carefully hand a roll of parchment to the small palm that the other party spread out towards her.

Even she never thought that such a little guy really had so much money on him?

“……”

Σ(￣д￣； )

"You don't have to wait for later, people have already learned it now!!"

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

After just a glance, Anne impatiently threw the tattered scroll of that simple trick behind her, and let the parchment, worth thirty gold coins, fall to the bottom of the icey cliffs in the howling wind and snowflakes......

“？？”

"What? This is learning, learning? You're not kidding?! ”

Seeing the little girl's movements, and then hearing the other party's angry words, the female magician couldn't help but be stunned.

But obviously, she definitely didn't believe it! So, after first glancing at the spell scroll that had drifted away in the heavy wind and snow and disappeared soon completely, she was a little distressed, and then looked at the little girl with some dissatisfaction.

As a mage, the most important qualities are rigor and pragmatism, because those complicated magic experiments cannot tolerate the slightest mistake, because magic is very dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will hurt yourself first! Therefore, she began to feel a little dissatisfied with the little girl in front of her, and she never believed that the other party could really learn a spell with a cursory glance, even the simplest magic light technique!

"People aren't joking!"

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

"Don't believe it!!"

?? (ψ｀▽′)╭????

Without thinking about it, Anne just stretched out her finger in a boring way, and then a dazzling white small ball of light was thrown directly by her onto a circular floor pattern with magic patterns behind the other party, and directly illuminated some light blue magic patterns on it.

"Ahh

"This ......"

It's really magic light art, and you really learned it at a glance?!

"You probably wouldn't have been able to do it a long time ago, would you?"

"Okay, I won't ask, you're doing well, even if you pass......"

"Hmm......"

"I think you're going to be an outstanding newcomer to our Winterhold Academy, anyway, now that you've passed my test, you're welcome, new apprentice......"

"That's right!"

"My name is Falauda, and I'm the magic teacher at Winterhold Academy, and I'm mainly responsible for the magic of the Department of Destruction, what's your name, little one?"

Although it was a little strange to let a little girl join Winterhold Academy, and although she was a little surprised by the other party's talent, Falauda, who felt that accepting the other party was not against the purpose of the academy and felt that the other party seemed to have the money to pay for her studies on weekdays, nodded her head and agreed and approved the other party's entry into the Winterhold Academy, and did not forget to ask the other party's name.

That spell, that 'magic light technique', whether the other party learned it at a glance or before coming here, was enough for her to let go, because the other party's age proved the other party's talent, it must be very remarkable, and it must be enough to become a mage student of Winterhold Academy.

"My name is Annie!"

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

"Annie?"

"Okay, please come with me, since you passed my test, then I'll talk about other things later, now I'll help you light up those three energy wells so that we can enter the interior of the Academy of Magic."

"Be careful, there's a gap in the bridge ahead, don't fall down!"

"There was a tsunami here, and while the main body of Winterhold Academy was intact, the rock pontoon bridge maintained by several magic wells was slightly damaged and has not been repaired until now......

"You saw it too!"

"If you don't know how to magic, you won't be able to get in once you come out, so I'm not deliberately trying to make things difficult for you!"

While leading the way, the female mage Falauda reminded her, and at the same time stretched out her hand, the kind of magic light that was just about to be performed by Anne was thrown into the magic energy well in front of her, so that a blue magic energy beam lit up on it, and at the same time, the entire rock pontoon bridge also slowly rotated under the action of the activated energy well, and connected to the next pontoon.

"That's ...... so"

(lll￢▽￢)

Anne actually wanted to say that she could just teleport, flash or fly over, so that she didn't have to light up those boring energy wells and walk pontoons every time!

However, since she had just come here and was not familiar with the other party and this magic academy, she didn't say anything more.

"Later, the high-level wizard Mirabelle will arrange a dormitory for you and take you to visit the academy, she is mainly responsible for the reception of newcomers and some sundries of the academy, while I am responsible for the security of the outside and the review of newcomers......"

"Don't!"

"Be careful, little one, don't look down!"

"I warn you: if you fall, we won't save you!!"

Seeing that a certain little creature had come to the gap in the pontoon bridge and looked down on tiptoe, Falauda hurriedly stopped the other party by shouting.

“……”

(￢▽￢。 )

Anne didn't think it was a matter of looking at it, she just looked at it casually, where would she fall?

Besides, even if she really falls, she is not afraid, because it is not high here, and she also has a way to land safely, so that it will not be as unbearable as the other party said!
