19. The Wine Song of Dragons and Blood 05

In the distance, you can see buildings emerging from the sea. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The map given by Cat Lady was quite accurate, and Kokoba easily found the direction of Hakon Castle.

Under the castle of Hakong, a colorful butterfly flutters lightly. The butterfly, as if it was not a creature of this world, slowly flew over the fence gate and into the castle of Hakong. As if they couldn't see the butterfly, the guards were still stunned to close the gate that had not yet been closed. It was easier than expected to blend in, and Dead Butterfly flapped its wings all the way to the main hall of Hakong Hall.

Very distinctly, sitting on the innermost chair in the center of the main hall, the impatient bearded uncle should be Hakong. The other vampires affiliated with Hakong sat on either side, and instead of food, live humans were on the long table. Those humans have blank eyes and blank faces, presumably "domestic animals" hypnotized by vampires.

The dead butterfly fluttered and landed in an empty space in the center of the main hall.

"Welcome to my castle, my compatriot."

Hakong seemed to sense something, and a slight smile appeared on his impatient face.

"Lord Hakong, worthy of his name."

The dead butterfly suddenly flapped its wings, and the dead butterfly that was only one suddenly turned into a butterfly rain flying in the sky, and in that butterfly rain, the dark figure gradually emerged, isn't it the heart leaf?

"The vampires of Skyrim Province aren't very afraid of the sun."

Heart Leaf clasped his hands around, and the wooden knife in his right hand was still firmly in his hand. The sudden appearance of Heart Leaf made the vampires other than Hakong suddenly shocked, and the Hakong Castle, which was already surging undercurrent, was even more panicked at this time, and Hakong's so-called "retainers" began to guess the identity of Heart Leaf.

"I didn't just come here to meet my compatriots, right?" Hakong was sitting in his chair.

"Of course, I've heard that Lord Hakong seems to be in trouble."

Kokoba narrowed his eyes, habitually observing Hakong's outfit. Graceful and luxurious crusty armor, even in his own castle, he wears battle attire. No, for Hakong, this is not a combat attire. With the form of a vampire lord to rely on, Hakong can't be taken lightly even in a nightgown. He has a strange sword hanging from his waist, and if the information given by Maika is correct, it is the "Sword of Hakong". However, Cat Niang's information does not detail the strength of this sword, probably because she really does not know.

"Are your compatriots trying to solve my problems?" Hakong smiled slightly, "You must know a lot about me, you want the power of the vampire lord, right?" ”

"Of course, all you need is a contract, and I'll help you find your daughter. After that..."

I'm afraid that Hakong can see through the smiling face at a glance, and Xinye didn't deliberately hide his smiling face, so that Hakong could believe her more easily.

"Deal, after that, the power of the vampire maharaja, I will teach you completely."

For Hakong, instead of leaving it to his own retainers, it was better to leave it to this foreign vampire who came out of nowhere, knowing full well that no matter which so-called retainers were, they were just trying to get more "rights". On the contrary, the thick vampire aura on Kokonoha's body is enough to prove the purity of her vampire blood. And the simple pursuit of power is far easier to use than those who have scheming.

"Some of my men have gone to the Crypt of the Void, and my daughter should be there," Hakong said unconcernedly, releasing the full message, "but the Dawn Guard are there too, and I think you know what to do." ”

"Of course."

"Quest - Dawnguard (Side Quest) (1) Find Serana, Hakon's daughter, in the Crypt of the Void and bring her back to Hakon's castle. Rewards: Intrinsic Skill Upgrade Coupon x1, Skill - "Vampire Maharaja"

The mission information has arrived, and the heart leaf has not stayed any longer, and the dead butterfly has danced again, completely disappearing into the castle of Hakong.

"Maharaja Hakong! Why tell this outsider about such an important thing! ”

A retainer jumped out impatiently.

"Shut up."

Hakong's only two words made the retainer tremble, and he did not dare to speak again.

The supreme vampire monarch glanced coldly at his retainers, and then there was no other sound in this already cold castle.

――――

The Elder Scroll records the knowledge and power handed down from ancient times, and the legends that countless people dream of. Yes, in most people's eyes, The Elder Scrolls is nothing more than a dragon that has just returned, just a legend. The value of The Elder Scrolls is difficult to estimate, and so is the power contained within them. According to Cat Lady's information, the Elder Scrolls is the "main line" of this world, not dragons, vampires, and gods. The "protagonist" of this world seeks out the Elder Scrolls and uses the knowledge of the Elder Scrolls to defeat enemies that he would not have been able to defeat, either as a hero praised by the world or as a villain with infamy.

And the mission of the Dawn Guard is also very related to The Elder Scrolls. The place where Hakong was looking for a bow and arrow that could obliterate the sun's rays was recorded on the Elder Scrolls in her daughter's hand. But not everyone can read The Elder Scrollsβ€”knowledge from gods outside the world that humans would never understand, and even those who are qualified to read it cannot be read by opening it casually.

The dragon roar that can make the "immortal and immortal" dragon experience the "death" and the knowledge that can make people powerful just by gaining it are all part of what The Elder Scrolls brings.

Although Cat Lady's information is extremely detailed, Heart Leaf still has a lot of questions about The Elder Scrolls.

There are dark organizations everywhere in this world, the Dark Brotherhood, the Thieves Guild in Rift City, and even the dark world in various provinces and cities, there must be no shortage of people who understand The Elder Scrolls. But no one dared to look for the Elder Scrolls in the open, not even Hakon, the powerful vampire lord, who was not looking for the Elder Scrolls with much fanfare, but was only interested in the bow and arrow that could annihilate the sun. Is the influence of The Elder Scrolls really only so small in this world?

No, perhaps because The Elder Scrolls are so powerful, no one would pin their hopes on this lore unless necessary.

Hakon could be said to have gotten his hands on The Elder Scrolls, and he probably didn't understand what The Elder Scrolls meant, he just knew that The Elder Scrolls might have what he needed.

The so-called Elder Scrolls is nothing more than the same as martial arts cheats and the like. If you are not a Taoist person, you will not know the value of this thing, and even if you do, the trace of the Elder Scrolls is secret, it is really like a legend, and there is no trace. It is precisely because it is so powerful and too dreamy that it is difficult for the inhabitants of this world to believe that it exists.

It's like a god-chaser.

And in The Elder Scrolls, maybe there will be people who can resurrect people, right? But...

And even if there were, what could it be?

Heartleaf was at the hotel in Dugu City, and she ordered a glass of ale, and took a sip of the amber liquid into her mouth like tasting red wine. When she was a human, she didn't drink a drop of alcohol, and the strange smell made her a little trance-like. It wasn't good, she thought, but little by little she put the ale in her mouth. But the alcohol didn't affect her thoughts, she still kept thinking about what was explained in the information, and her eyes kept looking around.

While she was still pondering the value of the Elder Scrolls and the price it would take to obtain them, a man in leather armor sat across from her uninvited.

"Hey, isn't this a prosecutor? I drank here in broad daylight, with a sad face. ”

The man smiled heartily and held a glass of ale in his hand.

Kokoba glanced up, and she immediately remembered that this man was the secretary who recorded the prisoners in the fortress where Alduin attacked at that time.

"Hadava?" She narrowed her eyes, "Wine is a good thing, but unfortunately it doesn't make me forget the pain." ”

She said so. Maybe she didn't lie, but if she stopped thinking about it, an indescribable sense of frustration would instantly invade her mind, and she didn't know what it was called. She could only cheer up again and immerse herself in plans and interests, so as to stay away from such complicated things.

"It seems that there are a lot of people with stories. After I escaped from the fortress with the moon elf, I don't know what happened to the dragon. ”

Hadava took a long sip of wine, exhaled freely, and slammed the glass on the table.

"War always brings suffering, no matter who it is for. But now the war is still going on, your strength and I are too small, and there are still countless people who are suffering like you. ”

The man shook his head.

He may be right. But Kokoba doesn't know the meaning of "pain", and she has always played the role of a person named "Kokonoha" out of fashion, pretending to be a normal person. Now, she can only find the only meaning of her existence on the path of pursuing the so-called God.

Resurrection? Yes, there may be a chance of resurrection. But does she really want to do that? She didn't know it herself. In thousands of worlds, there must be a method that can completely resurrect the dead. But what about after that? What expression will she use to face her resurrected sister?

Tears of joy? She didn't know. She didn't know what it meant to cry with joy, and she didn't know if that emotion was the kind she 'showed'.

It's too complicated, more than calculations. She instinctively avoided her emotions, but she couldn't erase the strange, tiny feelings.

"Boss," she said, staring at the glass in her hand, "another bottle." ”

"Hey, that's a good amount of alcohol."

"She's already drunk three bottles, this girl is good."

In the life of the people of the sky, wine is often accompanied by the left.

"Come, I'll drink with you!" Hadava raised his glass, "Congratulations on our escape from the dragon's mouth!" ”

Laughter and laughter, timely fun.

But on the faces of all the people in this hotel, are there any other emotions besides the laughter? Kokoba gradually let go of her thoughts, and she kept raising her glass, drinking only the wine that seemed to take her out of this world and into bliss.
