It's a two-story pavilion in the middle of a building, and the dark green walls look even more eerie in the dim light, which is the main theme of the interior of the vampire castle.

The cupboard and the alchemy table have been covered with spider silk layer by layer, and in the rotunda in the middle, rings like threads are stacked on top of each other.

The only cosmetic items may be a mammoth skull on the walls that has been stripped of only white bones, and a few conspicuous tusks that stretch out as if they were about to pierce the air.

"In the first stage of the awakening mission, Lin Xiu failed to obtain the task and failed to complete the task, the point reward was cancelled, and the second stage of the task Soul Stone Mound was opened, and the reward points for completing the task were 1000 points, and no reward would be given for not completing the task, and the Dawn Guard route would be completely interrupted."

It was only at this time that the voice of the long-lost apostle came to his mind, since entering the apostle space, this was the first time that Lin Xiu had not completed the task, fortunately, there was no punishment.

However, the Apostle's remarks also indicate that if the second phase of the mission is not completed, the Dawnguard route will be completely completed, that is, he will no longer have the possibility of completing this line.

What does this mean? Serana's betrayal or does Ryan simply take over the entire route? However, it is obviously unacceptable on either point.

If you want to activate the gate of the Soul Stone Shrine, you must find a few experimental items of Valerica, and then place them on which Star and Moon Altar to illuminate the center point of the ring below, and the door of the Soul Stone Shrine will open, which Xiao Wai has explained in detail in the guide.

And those three things are stored in this room according to the guide, and according to the original plot of Serana, to paraphrase her mother's words, the soul stone absorbed by the action of the soul stone. He didn't die, but went straight into the soul stone mound.

As for whether Lin Xiu can enter the Soul Stone Mound next, everything can only be taken one step at a time.

Lin Xiu walked towards the platform on the second floor, he had already expected that the moment he just stepped on the stairs on the second floor, the stone goyle that had fallen into a deep sleep woke up in an instant.

Weird wings. The monster's hideous fangs and dark green skin were the main features of the monster, and its body was thicker than the shape of the vampire maharaja, and I don't know if it was because of this that their bulky bodies could not rise into the air.

The skin of these guys is as hard as steel, even if the Dawnbreaker cuts on it, it can only rub some sparks, and it can't cause any substantial damage, and four of them pounce at the same time at a time, such a sense of oppression even Lin Xiu can only be tired of defense.

Stone table. The cupboard, even the enchantment table became the weapons of these monsters, and they were thrown up one by one and smashed into Lin Xiu's body.

The Dawnbreaker let out a wave of dragon groans, but all the damage it could do was to push the gargoyles back, but not kill them.

"Roar—"

The screaming gargoyle approached Lin Xiu, blocking the Dawnbreaker in his hand, and the sharp claws grabbed at his body, Lin Xiusheng was flexible in his body. Pressed against the other person's arm, he rolled over and jumped up.

But keep pestering. His stamina could only be wasted, and the gargoyles seemed to be completely unconsumed.

Several monsters pursued Lin Xiu, hit the balcony from the second floor, and jumped back to the ground on the first floor from the balcony, those gargoyles seemed to break away from the gravitational pull of the earth, and they bounced very high when they jumped. But the speed of the fall is extremely fast.

"轟"

The sound of the ground was like two boulders crashing together at the same time, setting off a huge wave of dust and scattering in all directions.

- Ghosts and Gods.

Lin Xiu didn't plan to drag it on, obviously unless he used his own fist technique, or special skills, it was almost impossible to kill these monsters. However, he had to face the unknown dangers in the Soul Stone Tomb next, and it was really not a wise move to continue to retain his strength at this moment.

A layer of half-height phantom possession appeared on Lin Xiu's body, and there was an extra layer of virtual image-like phantom on the original dawnbreaker, holding a sword in the same hand, but the face was a little blurry, it seemed to be the body of the ghost god.

When he swung the Dawnbreaker again, his arm seemed to be filled with endless power, and the huge energy void image set off by the originally ordinary sword burst in the air as if it had broken through the air.

"Wow"

After the cold mang, a gargoyle once again used its arm to resist Lin Xiu's attack, but this time it did not resist the sword blade, or rather, the physical sword in Lin Xiu's hand was still some distance away from him.

But the damage inflicted was simply incomparable, and the gargoyle's arm rose into the air, apparently severing the opponent's arm with this slash.

The attack of the ghost and god shadow brought great damage to the gargoyle, but these monsters didn't seem to have blood at all, even if their arms were cut off and flew into the air, they didn't have any painful wails, and they still desperately killed Lin Xiu.

Since it can cause damage, there is no need to worry, Lin Xiu's body quickly slashed a few times, the length of the original dawnbreaker was only about half a meter away, but the phantom extended to a length of one meter away, and the two figures were one virtual and one real, cascading and flying, like rotating gears, constantly cutting the stone statue.

Chopping melons and chopping vegetables, after having the ghost and god shadows, the defense of those gargoyles no longer plays any threat, although their attack power is high, but the speed is Lin Xiu's advantage, so once the attack power is increased, Lin Xiu can completely suppress such four monsters.

In a few moments, the original four gargoyles had turned into stones one by one, and they had completely lost their lives, but although Lin Xiu had not received any damage, he was actually not comfortable, and this kind of ghost and god superimposed shadow skill was actually consuming his physical energy.

Fortunately, the number of gargoyles is limited, otherwise if there are a few more, I'm afraid Lin Xiu will be overwhelmed.

After these monsters were eliminated, the room fell into tranquility again, the original items had been scattered, Lin Xiu had to search them one by one, fortunately, Xiao Ai had already made a full explanation in the strategy.

Fire salt, soul stone shards, purified salt of nothingness, these materials took some time. But it's more or less neat.

Lin Xiu carefully placed them in the bowl-shaped container of the altar, and as the items were filled, a ray of light refracted from the top of the altar, hitting the center of the spiral pattern on the ground with precision.

"Cluck-click"

Like a gargoyle grinding its teeth, the threads on the ground twisted strangely, and stretched down unevenly. Purple light shone through the cracks in the staircase upwards.

At the very edge of the staircase, there was already a void of purple gas, where there was no end as far as the eye could see, like a tipping point between two worlds.

"Traveler Lin Xiu, open the Soul Stone Tomb, if you can't get out within three days after entering, the Soul Stone Tomb will be closed forever."

Sure enough, although the plot hasn't changed much, it's obvious that there is no need for such a thing as storing souls.

Three days is not a long time. It's not short, but inside that soul stone mound, it's like another world, huge, Lin Xiu doesn't dare to guarantee whether she can find Valerika within three days, and without Serana, will she still give the Elder Scrolls to herself.

But for now, he has no better choice. Taking a deep breath, Lin Xiu followed the stone steps that extended downward. Gradually, the figure disappeared into the purple mist.

In the entire soul stone tomb, there is a dark purple light, there is no sun here, the sky is like a huge whirlpool constantly circling and spreading, constantly gathering, and spreading again. The dark purple light that radiates as it gathers and spreads is the only light here.

The paths, the stones, and even the stone tables and courtyards, which are products of the sun, are all the same. It's not so much a soul mound as a huge dungeon.

It's just that all the decorative items are replaced by black, whether it's grass or the courtyard, everything seems to be rendered by ink, and the sky and the earth are all shrouded in black, but because of the purple swirls above the head, it will not affect the vision.

The planet of Nain is a magical magic continent, as early as when he saw the strategy, Lin Xiu already had such an awareness, but when he first entered this soul stone mound, he could not help but be shocked by this vision of heaven and earth.

Perhaps Valerica's reason for hiding again may not be as simple as fear of Hakong's persecution, but in short, Serana's family is full of tragedy.

But these are not what Lin Xiu should care about now, there are wandering souls passing by on the side of the road, and the souls that have lost their physical bodies are all transparent colors, and there are generally human wheel corridors, but there are no facial features, just like a transparent phantom, very similar to Lin Xiu's ghosts and gods.

In front of him was a huge black city as far as the eye could see, endlessly, with Lin Xiu's eyes still could not explore the edge of the city wall, the original route was along a path under his feet, keep moving forward, you can find the barrier that trapped Valerica, and beyond there, you can find the Elder Scrolls.

But for now, Lin Xiu didn't dare to guarantee whether this path would lead straight to the portico of the castle and let him pass through it smoothly, after all, this was the outer city, and Valerika was in the inner city.

Three days, I'm afraid it's just on the road, and it's enough to consume, and the map here is obviously not a little bit of expansion.

In order to avoid going the wrong way, Lin Xiu tried to talk to a soul passing by the roadside, but maybe it was because of the loss of his facial features, or something else, in short, this soul didn't care about Lin Xiu at all.

This situation made Lin Xiu frown, if the chosen route was maliciously tampered with by the apostle, then obviously the next time would be very urgent.

Now, this is not good news, but there is no time for him to continue thinking, and after identifying the road under his feet, Lin Xiu has begun to run wildly, maintaining a uniform speed, Lin Xiu can keep running at such a speed without losing physical strength.

"Can you stop and help me?"

Just after Lin Xiu had run for a while, a voice suddenly attracted him, if it weren't for the long-term training in the apostle space, and a sudden voice in such a strange world, I am afraid that people would be nervous and directly pull out the knife and split this soul into two parts.

But having a soul to communicate with is undoubtedly what Lin Xiu needs the most now, so although there is not much time, the giant city has already appeared in his eyes, and Lin Xiu has stopped.

"Can you talk to me? Oh no. Maybe I should say you can see me? “

Lin Xiu was a little surprised, after all, those souls before completely regarded him as air and didn't pay attention to his existence at all, but at this time, this soul actually took the initiative to talk to him.

"I'm not blind, why can't I see you."

The soul's voice was obviously a little angry, maybe it was Lin Xiu's question that made him feel insulted, for such words. Lin Xiu really didn't know how to answer, you are not blind, you just don't have eyes, he really doesn't know how to say this.

"Uh, what do you need my help with?"

Normally, Lin Xiu naturally didn't want to waste time with him, but if he didn't ask, he couldn't guarantee that the other party would guide him to a wrong route for a while.

"I can't find my bone, and even if I did, I wouldn't be able to pick it up. Can you help me find it and retrieve it? “

"Uh, are you sure it's your bones?"

This kind of dialogue made Lin Xiu a little overwhelmed, a soul looking for its own bones, no matter how it sounded, it made people feel like a supernatural event.

"Bah, my bones are rotten, I'm talking about my horse, yes, my horse skull. It's so big that I can't afford to lose it. It's the only thing I care about, and I'll thank you if you find him. “

The man said as he measured the size of the horse's skull with his hand.

"Well, I'll bring it to you if I find it, but I've had some minor trouble, and I want to go through the outer city across the street. Go inside, can you tell me the right route? “

Lin Xiu's face was not red and he was not panting and lied, how could he have time to find a horse skull now, saying this was just to let the other party feel at ease to guide him to the right route.

"Walk through the city? Ah, that's just the right way to go. “

The man said, pinching his gone-gone chin.

Got a positive answer. This made Lin Xiu breathe a sigh of relief, since the route was correct, then three days should still be plenty of time.

After thanking him, Lin Xiu continued to run wildly, now that he knew the correct route, there was nothing to worry about.

It's just that he didn't run far away, but he couldn't see the soul behind him, and the benevolent brother was beating his chest with some chagrin, because the route he gave was obviously wrong, and he was a road idiot.

After running for about half a day, Lin Xiu reached the bottom of the city wall, which was a continuous city wall except for a huge city gate.

The worst thing had happened, he had chosen the wrong path, it was clearly not the inner city that led to Valerica, and the ghost didn't know if the apostles had sent him to deliberately lure his doppelganger, but now was not the time to think about it.

Lin Xiu took two steps back, looked up at him, and his brows furrowed more and more.

The walls of the city were so high that they almost connected to the whirlpool above, and the smooth and neat cross-section made it impossible to even borrow a point.

The only way is to go the right way, or open the giant gate in front of you.

Now it was a bit of a waste of time to turn around and change lanes or walk along the wall, Lin Xiu walked up the steps and reached out and patted on the door.

A strange scene happened, the door that had not reported any hope was slowly opened with the touch of his fingers.

This seems to be a bit different from what was expected, and in the original soul stone tomb, Xiao Ai has already explored all the edges of the city wall.

There was no other way to go, and there were no giant gates at all.

The plot has been tampered with, and it is obvious that the apostle once again put Lin Xiu in a dilemma.

But since the gates have been opened, there is no reason not to go in, and perhaps there is a window in this city, and if you go out from that side, you may be able to find the right way.

With this thought, Lin Xiu stepped in, and with that, the door closed again.

It was more like a castle, a huge castle with nothing inside, but with falling lights lit.

But these were not enough to surprise Lin Xiu, what really shocked him was the incredible scene that appeared in front of him, which can only be described in such words.

Countless chains coalesced together, all the entanglement points connected to the person standing on the ground.

Yes, an unmistakable man, with short blond hair, a noble white evening gown with a high collar that covers his neck, and slender legs on a pair of delicate high heels.

This is a woman, and an unusually beautiful woman.

It seems to be asleep, and it seems to be bound by chains, and there is a quiet but somewhat painful look on that crystal clear face.

This person's dress obviously doesn't fit Skyrim's style, and there is no such existence in the original plot, so what is this? The Apostle interspersed with mods?

Since there are all those who have fallen into the dawn, then it is not surprising, but who is this person in front of him?

Is it friend or foe?

"Hello?"

Lin Xiu said hello tentatively, the other party's eyebrows seemed to move slightly, and Lin Xiu's body walked in a little more.

"I want to ask"

Lin Xiu's words were just spoken, and the woman's eyes suddenly opened, red like blood, as if she was about to break free from the chains and pounced on Lin Xiu.

Bloodsucker!

Without a moment's hesitation, Lin Xiu drew the Dawnbreaker's sword that turned into stone.

The golden light instantly filled the entire castle space! (To be continued......)
