Chapter 532: The Master of the Leather Paper
An Yizhi didn't expect the effect of spell penetration and stance battering ram to be so strong. Since he chose to use the Stance Battering Ram instead of the more powerful Bigby Punch, the purpose was to press the man to the ground and interrogate him. As a result, the power of the battering ram was far greater than that of it, and it directly drove people down the mountain, which was really a bit unexpected.
Spell Penetration is a new ability that has only recently been acquired, and Ann Yizhi is not proficient enough to use it, so it is inevitable that this will happen.
As for whether the man was saved......
The mountain where the ruins of the owner of the vellum paper are located is a few hundred meters high, and if you fall from this height, even a dragon can't sell it with a 'hey' sound, and it is conceivable to be a mortal.
- I hope I can keep a whole corpse.
"Master, there's a bunch of keys on the ground."
Hella reminded.
The place where the man was standing left a black iron key, which was probably dropped out by the scorching ray that had pierced through the inner layer of the leather armor just now.
An Yi pointed and looked, the decoration of the key was not worth noting, it was very old-fashioned, considering that it might be used in the future, he stuffed it into the dimensional pocket and walked into the ruins of the owner of the leather paper.
Similar to what Ann saw outside, the ruins of the owner of the vellum must have been built to the standards of a fortress.
The entrance is narrow, and upon entering, you will find a wide internal plaza. It feels very similar to the urn city built in ancient times of the Celestial Empire, with defense as the first standard, and there is no direct staircase from the square to the wall, which means that as long as there are enough archers on the wall, they can inflict a large number of kills below, and they will die as many as they come.
But no matter how strong the fortress is, it will be breached one day, and the fact that this fortress has become the current ruins shows that it has been conquered.
Near the bottom of the wall, Ann saw a makeshift camp of campfires and tents, where the fake Imperial officer temporarily lived.
There was also a large rat with its fur and guts roasted on the campfire, presumably when he was about to eat when he heard a movement and was just in time to foresee Ann's finger.
Walking into the tent, Ann searched inside, finding some clothes and dozens of gold coins in a small box, as well as an order pressed underneath and a short diary, signed by Ufrik, the High King of Skyrim.
Secretly pouting, Ann pointed out that his dislike of the Storm Cloak was due to their leader, Ufrik, although on the one hand he was the leader of the Nords in the rebellion against the unequal tyranny of the Empire, and on the other hand, this thing was also a careerist, and the devil knows if he killed the original High King with a dragon's roar by mistake or intentionally.
Of course, Ann Yizhi has no good impression of the Imperial Army, corruption, formalism, and bureaucracy are all reasons to dislike them, so when he first played the game, he either chased Alduin all day long, or searched the sky for background knowledge such as books and history, and Ann Yizhi did not have any good feelings about both sides of the war.
It is actually a little skill to be able to see through the other party's lies.
Those who will join the Imperial Army will definitely be those who support the Empire's side, and they are full of disgust for the claims of the Storm Cloak. So when An Yizhi tentatively said 'rebel', the side that answered the squadron storm cloak would also use the rebel name as a small habit.
The man didn't, which means that he wasn't an Imperial soldier himself.
This reason may be a bit far-fetched, but I will give you an example.
In the past, An Yizhi once watched a historical drama, and there was a plot in which the minister wanted the emperor to report that 'so-and-so in Henan had revolted'......
Are you sure this is reporting to your boss? Tell the emperor that there is an uprising, do you want to die? Or do you want to die? Or do you want to die?
The correct word should be rebellion, or rebellion, etc., and to say uprising means that you are supporting that side in your heart.
So don't underestimate these humble words, sometimes they alone can reveal a person's true attitude towards something......
Let's get back to business.
The gist of this order is to find a powerful relic called the 'Sawtooth Crown', which dates back to the days when the Nords had just settled in Skyrim.
As mentioned earlier, the Nords have a very superstitious tradition, and most Nords will believe that their claims are correct, whether it is the Imperial Army or the Storm Cloak, as long as they have this crown in their hands.
Could it be that the owner of the leather paper has a zigzag crown in it?
An touched his chin with one finger, it sounds like the serrated crown is quite awesome, at least it should be a perfect-level item, right?
But don't expect too much from that.
The attitude of the NPCs towards mages in this copy of Skyrim can speak for itself, these Nord barbarians who fight with bears bare-chested look down on mages very much, and even if they can be turned into a powerful holy relic 'Sawtooth Crown', eighty percent of them are also equipment used by melee fighters, and An Yizhi is useless for this magic-type player to get, at most put it in the trading section of the forum.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
The door to the Castle of the Master of the Vellum is similar to that of the Deserted Tomb and is known for being made of black iron, with magic attached to it to ensure their durability.
However, this gate is far less than the size of the Arashi Waterfall Ancient Tomb, and the size of the fortress is also the same.
The key I just picked up happened to open this door, although it didn't matter if I didn't have a key.
Thousands of years have made this black iron door decay, even if it is protected by magic, it is difficult to hide the traces of its age, it is really impossible to open An Yizhi, and he can use a self-propelled blasting spider to break through the door.
Like most of the Old Nordic buildings, this fortress is of the type that was dug out of the mountains. The architectural style inherited the roughness and heroism of the Nords.
- That is, the craftsmanship is too rough.
Over time, many rocks fell from the ceiling and piled up near the doorway to form small piles of stones. The snowflakes that seep through the cracks turn into water at a relatively high temperature in the room, dripping and dripping.
An's finger wasn't the first visitor to visit, and it was clear that it had been explored not so long ago.
He noticed that the gravel in the doorway had moved and that there was still a fire in the hall, which should have been lit by the person who had come in before.
In addition, he also found a corpse wearing the uniform of the Imperial Army near the door.
According to the diary entries found in the tent outside, both the Imperial Army and the Stormcloak have attempted to explore the fortress. But because of the many traps in the fortress and the more ghouls and ghosts, they lost their troops and had to be pushed out.
According to the diary, the Imperial Army explored first, but was completely wiped out. Most of the storm cloaks in the later steps were the same, except for the guy who had been kicked down the mountain by Ann Finger earlier.
In order to wait for reinforcements and avoid being discovered by the Imperial Army, he disguised himself as the Imperial Army.
"The body is in the doorway, which means that he escaped from the fortress and was killed by something."
An Yi looked at the corpse with one finger, and approached cautiously after hanging the defensive spell.
He turned the body over and saw that the fatal wound was a cut from a sharp object in the back, and the wound had almost cut the man in half from his shoulder to his waist.
"It's not like a wound from a trap......
"Master, there's something close!"
Hela hurriedly reminded.
Ann looked up and saw four ghosts emerging from the air, blue and white, and could see all the equipment they wore before they died.
Two of them were armed with one-handed axes, and the other two were armed with bows and arrows.
So it seems that this unfortunate bastard who died at the door was hacked to death by them.
"I command you!"
Pulling out the Book of the Dead and activating the Command Undead talent, it didn't work at all.
It shows that these ghosts are all of a higher level than Ann Yizhi.
He then took out the Orb of Death, which was more effective than the Book of the Dead, slightly interfering with the ghost's travel speed, but still failing to incorporate it.
"Grades are probably from 30 to 35...... It's a good mob as a hard dungeon. ”
An Yizhi secretly analyzed.
The Book of the Dead's command that the undead can only control the lower level of Ian Finger, and the drink on the Orb of the Dead makes the effect of the undead more ambiguous.
The Orb of Death can only be affected by undead creatures that are not much lower or higher than him, and if it exceeds level 40, the Orb of Death is of little use.
He is secretly analyzing the combat power here, and the ghost side will not wait honestly. The two archers in the back row quickly shot arrows, and the black feathered arrows burst into the wind.
"Protective arrows!"
Using defensive spells to counteract feathered arrows, Ann pointed at the two ghosts that were rapidly approaching, and a layer of golden light appeared in his eyes that only angels possessed:
"Heavenly Gaze!"
One of the ghosts froze as if struck by lightning, while the other seemed to be paralyzed and became unusually sluggish.
The two bow-wielding ghosts in the back seemed to have some intelligence, or combat experience, and when they saw that the forward was unfavorable and the arrows could not hurt An Yiyi, they gently spat out a few vague dragon words and disappeared into the air.
Invisible?
Normally, ghosts can approach invisibly, but the dragon language they spoke before they became invisible made An Yizhi mind, because it sounded like a dragon's roar.
Thinking of this, An Yizhi took a few steps to the left with his staff in his fingers, while secretly pinching the magic seal.
"As. Dillon! ”
With a low roar, two ghosts holding daggers suddenly appeared from behind An Yizhi, and the distance was very close, and what was even more amazing was that they were able to pass through the outermost magical defense constructed by the Book of Shields.
Sure enough, it's not simply stealth!
An Yizhi can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles, this little trick will not make him suffer, and he doesn't look at the sharp sound of breaking wind behind him, and said in a low voice:
"Massive Flameburst!"
- Boom!
Endless flames burst out from beneath his thin robes, drowning the two ghosts directly, causing them to squeak and scream like some kind of metal rubbing.
At this moment, the two ghosts who had just been stared at by the Kingdom of Heaven finally got rid of their paralysis, rushed into An Yizhi's side one after the other and raised their axes.
"Bigby Punch!"
Knock the front one in one circle, and the one behind also muttered a few dragon words, and successfully broke through the standing shield of the Book of Shields.
This makes An Yizhi very puzzling, when did the position defense become so unreliable?
"That's the transformation of the virtual body, and they transform themselves into an imaginary body that has no mass through some kind of force."
Hela reminded:
"With lightning spells, a virtual body struck by lightning will cause serious damage."
As soon as these words came out, An Yizhi immediately gave up the fireball technique he was about to perform, and instead pulled out a black lightning bolt with the thickness of a cup:
"Shadow Sculptor: Chain Lightning!"
Hela is right, lightning is the enemy of the void. In the flash of lightning, the four ghosts became noticeably dimmed.
"It's true, my soul is fading."
Silently complaining, An Yizhi gestured again, and 8 lightning balls appeared around him.
Exactly ball lightning.
