15. The Wine Song of the Dragon and the Blood 01
When entering the New World, the first reaction of most God Chasers is to look around and confirm where they are. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
And for a mission, teammates are not hard to find. It only takes one glance to see a few figures that are completely out of step with this world.
For example, he is dressed in a black trench coat, trousers, and a ponytail; For example, a woman with cat ears, half-asleep, and exposed cat ears; For example, a short girl who is at a loss and looks around like a heart leaf; For example, a white-haired man with round eyes and stubble, and an acquaintance - Alexander Anderson!
"It's nice to meet you, heretic," he said, smirking an eerie smile and his round glasses obscuring his gaze, "you're glad this is a team mission." β
"That's my line, Father, I don't think you're ready to die again."
It only took a moment for Kokoba to react, raising the wooden knife horizontally and revealing an intriguing smile.
The tense atmosphere between the two immediately attracted the rest of the Helgen fortress, and the half-asleep cat lady immediately cheered up and ran over.
"Hey, you two," the cat lady leaned over cautiously, "this is an epic mission, you need to be careful!" Since it's an epic task for teaming, it means that you can't complete it without teaming up! There was infighting like this at the beginning, what should I do next? β
"Infighting?" Alexander Anderson, pushing his glasses, cracked his mouth, "No, how can I call this heretic infighting?" It's a doctrinally perfect fight! β
"A perfect battle between Christians and vampires, isn't it?" Kokoba narrowed his eyes, "But, really, it's just that he came to trouble me unilaterally, of course I don't mind fighting him again." β
"Do you know what kind of world this is? If the mission fails, the world may be destroyed! Stay honest! β
The cat lady looked around again, and just happened to see the girl who was at a loss, so she forcibly pulled the girl over. The girl looked reluctant, and was surrounded by three people with a bitter face.
"You're a newcomer, aren't you?" The cat lady asked with a wink.
"It's... Yes," the little girl replied weakly.
Xinye frowned, looked at the little girl's appearance, and then smiled slightly.
"Don't pretend to be a victim, I see that expression every day."
A hint of surprise in the girl's eyes was fleeting, but instead she asked with a cautious look, "You... What are you talking about..."
"Well, don't worry about this kind of trivial matter," the cat lady clapped her hands, "Since you can enter this road, there must be your own unique place... Probably. So, do any of you know the world? β
Both Kokoba and Alexander Anderson shook their heads, and both looked at the little girl.
"Well, forget it," the cat lady looked helpless, looking at the few people in front of her, "This world, in short, is a highly mysterious world of high magic, werewolves, vampires, and some legendary creatures you know. Include... Dragons and stuff like that. β
"Correction, these things are common in this guy's world, except for dragons." Kokoba pointed to Alexander Anderson, who was a little surprised by her remarks, but didn't say much.
"What about God?" Cat Lady continued, "Gods are also quite common here... A god who can easily cross the plane and have his own personal plane, a god who can easily give mortals great power, here... It can even be said that it can be seen everywhere. That's why it's epic, if it weren't for the fact that our enemies wouldn't be these gods, I'm afraid it would already be a mythological difficulty. β
"I think Akkad is about the same as those gods," Kokoba still wasn't ready to let Anderson go, "after all, it's a vampire far above me... Piercing male. β
"Hmph." Anderson snorted coldly, still smiling on his face, and didn't argue with Kokoba about anything.
"It's time to stop you," Cat Lady cried and laughed, "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Maika, and I am currently the middle god." β
"Alexander Anderson, a priest." Anderson did not indicate his intention to rank.
"You hear that, heretic, too."
"Alphonse... Newcomer..."
The little girl still looked hesitant.
"In short, it's dangerous. The mission is still unknown, but it is likely that our mission will be to deal with the supreme dragon, the Eater of Worlds, and I think you should know the difficulty of this mission. β
"'Devourer of Worlds'?!"
Xinye was stunned for a moment, and the expressions of the priest and the girl named Alphonse were slightly moved.
"That's right, as the name represents," said Cat Lady solemnly, "that is, a certain being that represents the will of the world, and as far as I know, that being is a dragon, called Alduin." And most of the people in this world don't know that Alduin has come, and it is useless for us to kill him in this plane. He can even travel between the world after death and this world, he can devour souls to be reborn, and his strength is indescribable... Meteorites, sky fire, and storms can be summoned casually, which are naturally just toys under his hands, and even... All the other dragons in this world can only obey him. β
Xinye frowned, realizing that things were not simple.
"And how to kill that lizard? Don't tell me no. Anderson asked directly.
"There's... That's where we also go to the afterlife, where people call Songard, and only there can we kill him... It can be said that it is also temporary, he will come back as the devourer of the world under the will of the world, but that will be later," the cat lady sighed, "and he can fly in the sky almost infinitely, unlike other dragons, there will always be a time when his physical strength is exhausted, I don't think any of us can fly yet." β
The three god chasers glanced at each other, not to mention the rookie girl, neither Kokoba nor Anderson could fly.
"So, this mission is very, very dangerous, I wish it was only until we killed the first dragon, and that would be enough for us..."
"I don't believe that the three people who have entered the Legendary level can't defeat a dragon," Kokoba was the first to express distrust, "Based on the information you just said, the World Devourer is indeed very powerful, but that is because of the protection of the will of the world. I don't think other dragons are as powerful as him. β
"Yes... That said, as long as the Eater of Worlds is alive, he will be able to exchange the soul of the dead dragon from the dragon mound and bring it back to life. β
Cat Lady said bad news again.
But... Bad news?
"Isn't that just right?" Kokonoha had a smile on his face, "I don't believe there's no reward for killing a dragon. β
Reward?
Cat Lady stared at the guy in anticipation of something on her face, to believe she was just joking. But looking at Kokonoha's serious expression, it seems that he really wants to get an extra reward by killing the resurrected dragon.
"But... Isn't there such a thing as a mission? And the girl on the side didn't take what Kokoba said as a joke at all, "If you don't have a mission, you can get a reward?" β
"You're still young," Kokoba explained, "even if there's no reward for a simple kill... Aren't you a reward for killing dragons, dragon scales, and dragon bones? If you exchange these things with the inhabitants of this world, there must be a lot of good things compared to them, such as the power unique to this world. β
"Did that guy almost lose to a guy like you? Reallyβ" Anderson smiled coldly, "So decided?" Where is there such a thing as a dragon? β
These guys... Is it a madman? Cat Lady opened her mouth, feeling that it was difficult to understand the thoughts of these guys.
"Wait... Wait a minute," the cat lady held her forehead, she felt a little pain in her head, of course it was only psychological, "we should meet a dragon soon, but that's Alduin, first we need to escape from here...."
Before she could finish speaking, a few carriages drove slowly over not far from the people.
β... Here we go, and then get ready to escape. Be careful not to get separated. No, let's go ahead at the Creek Town Tavern outside the city. β
Cat Lady sighed.
The carriage appeared to be a captured prisoner.
Two men dressed as Imperial soldiers came to the carriage, and when the carriage was ready, the prisoners on it were escorted down. Xinye and a few people stood not far away, only Xinye had a good look on his face.
"The next person who reads the name goes over there!" A female Imperial officer shouted.
"Why, I was just caught by mistake!" One of the prisoners cried out in horror.
"Stand up, horse thief, and at least maintain your demeanor until you die."
Another blonde, chainmail man said helplessly. Kokoba noticed that there were quite a few people in the crowd who were wearing the same armor as him.
"Oufric Stormcloak."
"Locle of Loristaire."
This time, it was the guy who was yelling at him.
"You can't do that! You have no right to put me to death! I just stole a horse! β
The man ran away suddenly, and several officers were also stunned.
"You guy! Guardsman! β
As soon as the female officer raised her hand, the guards around her immediately raised their bows and arrows, but before that, a wooden knife knocked the guy to the ground without mercy. He couldn't help but cover his face and fell to the ground in pain.
"Isn't it good to be honest about your own death?" Kokoba smiled.
Seeing this, the guards put away their bows.
"I'm very sorry, Your Excellency," another soldier with a secretary on the side stepped forward to apologize, "Your Excellency is just here to take care of official business, and I'm really sorry to let a few of you encounter this kind of thing." β
As he spoke, the guards next to him pressed the man to the guillotine, and in his screams of terror, the executioner cut off his head. Seeing this, the little girl on the side clung to the skirt of the cat lady next to her, and the cat lady patted her head helplessly and comforted her.
After the female officer saluted Xinye and the others, she turned to the prisoners and said:
"Does anyone else want to escape?"
Silence.
Then, the roll call continued, but Xinye thought about it.
The officers were very polite to them, which meant that they were not bad on this trip. There are many benefits to being gained by operating within the borders of this country. Secondly, the people around me did not react much to the skills they showed, which means that the skills they showed were not something to be surprised about, or that it was not unusual for people here to show such skills as themselves and others. Thirdly, in addition to the military uniform of this country, it is very obvious that there are other things similar to military uniforms among the prisoners, and this country is still at war.
Last but not least, there is a man among the prisoners who is said to be more noble than the people around him.
Ulfric Stormcloak, the first guy to pronounce his name, not only does this guy have quite a lot of ornate decorations, but he is also clearly more ornate than the other prisoners. It's just that his mouth is wrapped in strips of cloth.
"Laroff of Creek Town." The officer pronounced a name.
"It's an honour to be with you in Songard... Lord Ulfrick. β
It was the blonde man who was called to the horse thief who had just been left alive. He whispered something, but it was still heard by Kokoba.
"In other words, the guy in the armor of the blonde man's style is indeed a soldier of another force... Then this guy named Ufrik is undoubtedly a high-ranking figure of another force, and he has won the hearts of the people? This will have to be re-examined at that time. We're on the side now, but we can choose to save this Ufrik. At this point, we are given a choice, is it to join either of these two parties? But... Why is it only his mouth covered?"
"You, you come here."
The clerk who was talking to him just now called the last prisoner, and Kokoba then set his eyes on that person.
Unlike the other prisoners, that prisoner was a moon elf with strange patterns on his body that were difficult to see with the naked eye. His skin, which should have been fair and delicate, was now covered with scars and mud, and the clothes he wore were tattered, and his beautiful face was written with uneasiness and fear.
"You... Who is it? The clerk glanced at the list and asked.
"Lunali... Lunali Child. The Moon Elf's hands trembled slightly.
"The Moon Elves... It's the first time I've seen such a wonderful elf," the clerk sighed, tilting his head and asking the female officer beside him, "Sir, she's not on our list, what should I do?" β
"Same treatment!" The female official snorted coldly.
The clerk shook his head and said to the Moon Elf:
"Come on, it'll be over soon."
At this time, Xinye closed her eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking. Only Anderson looked at her and suddenly laughed.
