Chapter 158: Rush to the Rescue

"Mr. Tovdier, can you go faster?!"

"I don't think it's necessary, but...... Since you say so, then ......"

Two galloping gray horses galloped on the road on the snowy ridge. Normally, this kind of dangerous behavior would cause all confident riders to break their necks, but one of the two knights on horseback is the best Alteration Spell Master in the entire Skyrim Province, so this kind of problem is no longer a problem. One of the most unpopular forms of Transfiguration is the armor-enhanced magic that combines the enchantment of the recovery system and the Transfiguration, and it is a travel magic developed by Tovdier, a great magician who often leads students out for internships. He named it "Good Ride" to ensure balance and stability in the crotch of the horse, and after switching to a spiked horseshoe specially made for the icy roads of Skyrim Province, it can run fast even in icy weather on the road.

After Tovdil released the "Good Ride", Sadako Yamamura and the old mage galloped towards Helm City without sparing any horsepower, which was not very far away from Winterhold and could only be reached in half a day at most on foot, but with the galloping of horses, this journey was shortened to only two hours to complete quickly.

After returning to Wind Helmet City with Su Jing and the unconscious Lu Mengyao, Sadako Yamamura was entrusted by Su Jing with an important task to go to the Winter Keep Academy to negotiate with the Chief Mage, and put pressure on them with the Storm Cloak regime that still occupies the eastern border of Skyrim Province, and let them explain the large number of magic scrolls in the Imperial Army - with Yamamura Sadako's character, she may be the most unsuitable person to be this envoy, but fortunately, Su Jing did not directly let her oppress the Winter Castle Mage Academy. Rather, he was an apprentice at Winterhold College and a foundry official (Su Jing casually said) who worked in the Stormcloak government. Ask Winterhold Academy to send a weighty master to Windhelm City to negotiate.

This is not an overstatement. Under the watchful eye and oppression of the chief mage advisor Ancano. It wasn't very difficult for Ah Ran, the evicted chief mage of Winterhold Academy, to agree to this request, perhaps he thought that it would improve some of the disputes within the academy. After a brief period of consideration, Tovdil, the mildest and most upright of all the magic masters, was commissioned by the chief mage to negotiate.

And the purpose of Su Jing's plan, in addition to letting Sadako Yamamura, a junior apprentice, enter the line of sight of the upper echelons of the Academy of Magic, is also to shorten the distance between the Winterhold Academy and the Storm Cloak. In any case, if these mages have been shrunk in the academy and have not come out, then no one can change them. But if they begin to voluntarily intervene in the outside world, they begin to get involved in disputes in civil wars. Then it will be difficult for them to continue to maintain a detached position from the situation.

"It's been seven or eight years since I last came to Stormhelm City...... "Master Tovdil was a clear old man with gray hair and beard, and his whole body was so simple that it was almost impossible to see what magical ornaments he was wearing. Perhaps because of the fact that he has been teaching students all year round, he sometimes seems to talk a lot, and whenever he has the opportunity, he will teach his students about magic, "At that time, my body was a little stronger than it is now, and in that city, I remember using my own spell to kill two little thieves who didn't open their eyes...... Of course. It's just the simplest of fire tongues. To be honest, there aren't many things in this world that can make a mage use a high-level destruction spell. Ghoul lords? High-level demons? I've fought two or three times when I'm younger, but I've rarely encountered such a powerful enemy in the last ten years......"

"Oh my God! Is that...... Palace of Kings!! Sadako Yamamura let out a low sigh. A man picked up the horse's speed, and the spurs hanging behind her boots kept kicking the side ribs of the gray horse under her crotch.

The Palace of Kings is the residence of the lords of Windhelm. The headquarters of the Stormcloak and the entire Stormcloak against the forces of the Stormclad is located. The palace has a long history – but it's likely to need a major renovation in the near future.

A puff of black smoke rose above the majestic and tall ancient royal palace, which was clearly visible even outside the city. Even in the snowy weather, you can still see flames dancing brightly. The stone palace itself is not easily lit, but the furniture inside can be seen in the narrow windows as if it were burning.

"Oh my God......" Tovdil picked himself up as well. Given that the interior of Winterhold seemed to be under attack, he didn't expect to be able to enter the city without incident. But what he didn't expect was that, as if someone had known in advance that they were coming, the gates opened twenty seconds before they arrived.

Sadako Yamamura didn't stop, and rushed through the city gate into Windhelm Castle in one go. After hesitating for half a second, Tovdil also rushed over.

Sadako Yamamura put down the fingers pressed on the corners of her forehead, the remote mental control just now cost her part of her mental power, this kind of thing is not as simple as moving her mouth, she used her mental power to search for the coordinates of the soldiers guarding the city gate in an instant, and then forcefully and directly broke through the opponent's mental wall, took over the other party's body, and then opened the gate of the city - adventurers below the three-star level don't even think that they can do such a thing, and only Sadako Yamamura, who has risen to the four-star level, can be in the "backwater" With the help of these steps in an instant. Even she didn't know what to do, she didn't know when she had begun to gradually transform, gradually approaching a true adventurer, whether it was her mentality or ability......

In the streets of Windhelm City, she saw groups of soldiers running towards the palace of the kings under the leadership of the squad commander. Most of the mid-level and high-ranking officials were inside the palace, and this inexplicable attack hit the center of Stormcloak's command system, locking all the generals who could make decisions inside, facing the carnage of the murderous enemy.

"Please give way! Please let me pass!! ”

Time was pressing, and Sadako Yamamura didn't care about getting off the horse and walking, so she rode directly through the chaotic crowd, and as a sign of apology, she had to shout loudly to remind others to pay attention. Behind her amazing equestrian skills is a convenient technique that directly controls the horse's movements with a spiritual link.

Three minutes later. The iron-colored gates of the palace of the kings were already in sight. Seven or eight soldiers were slashing through the solid gate with weapons such as axes, and it looked like it had been locked inside.

"Get out of the way. I am the newly hired royal mage of His Highness Ufrik. Let me open the door. ”

The lie blurted out from his lips, and he wondered if Lu Dao was influenced by Su Jing. Sadako Yamamura found that her lies had become more and more fluent, and her face was calm and her demeanor was very calm. With the help of mental power, the words he said were nailed into the heads of these Nords as if they were unmistakable facts. The brave soldiers retreated in awe, not considering why the Storm Cloak, which was proud of the Nord tradition of bravery, hired a ...... Mage.

Sadako Yamamura walked up to the gate and probed it slightly, which made her frown slightly.

Not only was it locked from the inside, but the door was simply welded shut by some kind of powerful flame, turning into a heavy iron plate. In this case. Only with an axe...... No, it's better to use a battering ram made of giant wood to knock the whole door panel down.

"Let me go, let me take a look......" With a series of rapid breaths, Master Tovdir brushed aside the Storm Cloak soldiers one by one and rushed up from behind. Sadako Yamamura whispered that she had detected the results, and the old mage's sparse eyebrows moved slightly, and then she stood in front of the door in deep thought.

"Hey, old man. If you still can't figure out how to do it. We're going to keep chopping! Every second is tight, we have to rush in to save Lord Ufrik! A blonde Nord with a helmet tied around his waist and a commander looked like a commander gritted his teeth.

"Don't worry, don't worry. Lad...... I was just thinking about the mantra...... That spell isn't used often......" Tovdil twisted his gray goatee, then stretched out his hands and pressed them against the door. Whispering and quickly reciting the dense incantation, the intonation of the incantation seemed to resonate with the plates of steel. Or rather, the loop of the elements......

Two seconds later, the entire iron gate turned into a large amount of iron sand in an instant. It collapsed like a hill. The Storm Cloaks, who had been waiting too long, rushed in with their weapons in hand, and the horror inside shook their nerves.

The corpses of soldiers piled up into a hill, blood flowing everywhere...... Even by the standards of the Nords, this is a real slaughterhouse.

"Quick, divide into four squads and search in four directions! The upper palace is led by me! Bring all the generals you can find out of the city, and don't let the assassin escape! Be careful, that could be a powerful mage! ”

"Understood, Captain Larov!"

The Storm Cloaks scattered in all directions, and the commander named Larov found that the two mages had rushed into the upper palace before him.

"Hey, wait a minute! Let the warriors of Nord gain the right to fight the enemy head-on! ”

"Don't be stupid, lad. Only a mage knows how to fight a mage. Master Tovdil was also a little nervous, he was mentally reviewing the spells he had applied to the enemy before, how long had it been since he had fought a spell head-to-head with a person? Judging from the traces along the way, the strength of this mage of the destruction system may have approached that of Master Falauda, who specializes in the destruction department in the academy.

And what Tovdir is best at is defensive spells. These include a variety of enchantments and alteration spells that enhance defense and resistance, the former can create a force field wall that resists attacks of considerable intensity, while the latter can strengthen a person's armor and even temporarily strengthen a cotton robe to the hardness of dwarven armor without changing its original lightness.

Yamamura Sadako seemed to know where to go, and without hesitation, she led the old mage through the intricate roads of the castle, and along the way, no less than twelve or thirteen corpses fell down in the corridors in various positions, some guards, some officials and powerful men leading the army. Each one had been slain by powerful destruction spells, the walls could see traces of flame burn and frost condensation, and Tovdil felt the remaining elemental fluctuations in the air. Fire, Lightning, Frost...... The great system of the three destruction spells, this powerful and evil mage seems to be able to use them all, if you judge the number of times her spells are used from the traces of destruction along the way, her spiritual power reserves are really very strong, even the old mage thinks that she cannot have such a powerful spell casting ability without the blessing of magic equipment......

But this cannot decide the outcome of a battle.

Finally, Sadako Yamamura rushed to the top floor of the palace of the kings. She stopped at the door of Averick's bedroom.

There were three people standing in the room, and the three seemed to be locked in a long standoff.

And the arrival of Sadako Yamamura seems to have upset this delicate balance. At this moment, the three people in the room couldn't help but turn their heads and look at the door. And in the next moment, all three of them realized the unwisdom of this move.

Before she could turn her gaze, the gray-robed female mage raised her right hand, and the gemstone staff that shimmered blue was aimed at the black-armored man, and the other party had already bowed his waist and was about to pounce in the air in the next second. And behind the black armor, the ginger-bearded Ufrik . Holding a short axe in one hand, the Stormcape swooped forward from the side.

And all of this is reflected in Sadako Yamamura's wide-open pupils. (To be continued......)
