Chapter 197: Scroll Prophecy
Although they were a little embarrassed, they managed to get out of Oduin's attention and fled the Holy Land. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It is impossible for the soldiers on the city walls to let go of their duties and catch up directly, at least before Alduin makes a big fuss and leaves, there is no need to worry that the Imperial army will send people to chase and kill.
The main quest was completed after they left the soldier's sight, but without further activating the following quest, the three of them had to walk along the official road, hoping to run into a small town or something.
During this period, the Seven Killing Stars returned to the cold appearance of ignoring him, just taking care of himself and being excited, and An Yizhi didn't bother to pay attention to him, or didn't have time to pay attention to him at all.
"You said there's a town not far away?"
“……”
"Riverwood? Looks like the information I got."
“……”
"Brother An, who are you talking to?"
Apple Tea saw An pointing at the air for a long time, and couldn't help but ask.
"Ghosts, the inhabitants of Sanctuary Town who just died"
Apple Tea tightens the collar:
"He, they're nearby?"
"Well, quite a bit, a whole bunch"
“……”
Saying a lot of this is pure foolishness, the Book of the Dead gives An Yizhi the ability to communicate with the undead, especially this kind of ghost that is not sane soon after death, the number is only five or six, far less than a large number.
The others couldn't see it, and in An's eyes, the Holy Land Town was full of ghosts, and most of them had been eaten by Alduin.
That's right.
Alduin possesses the ability to devour souls, and he regains his strength by eating them.
According to the timeline, Alduin was already a legend in the eyes of the local Nords, it was a matter of ancient times, but for Alduin, his exile was only a recent occurrence.
In ancient times, Alduin tried to rule over the human race, and three of the Nord heroes tried to rebel against Alduin, but he was so powerful that the three heroes had to use the artifact of the Elder Scrolls to banish Alduin into the future...... That is, the moment when the plot begins.
Rao is Alduin's ability to resist the three Nord heroes, and in fact, he consumes a lot, which is why he first came to the Holy Land Town to kill and burn the city as soon as he appeared.
- There's a lot of people here.
Many souls were eaten by him, and it took a lot of effort for Ann to save the souls of several NPCs without attracting Alduin's attention, and these NPCs expressed their gratitude for Ann's actions, and they knew everything no matter what they asked.
But there are some very strange things, and there seems to be something wrong with the IQ of these NPCs, or the artificial AI.
They're not at all as smart as the civilians in another multiverse copy, they're pretty dull, if you ask a topic they don't know, they'll just be silent and will only answer if they ask something specific, and it's okay to ask a question repeatedly, they'll still answer in the exact same words. It's not that the villagers in Andora Village have IQ arrears, but these NPCs don't have such a thing as IQ at all.
It feels like an NPC that used to have only a few lines, but with the development of technology in this era, this kind of NPC has long been extinct.
"Do any of you know about Alduin?"
The group of NPCs around Ann Yizhi were silent on this question, and only one guy dressed as a scholar replied:
"It is written in the Book of Dragonborns"
"Talk about it"
"Scroll Prophecy: When tyranny reigns in all directions, when the Brass Tower moves to reshape time, when the Three Great Blessings fail, when the Red Tower shudders, when the Dragonborn wrecked White Tower collapses, when the Snow Tower shatters, no one is the king's blood, when the Devourer of Worlds wakes up, the wheel of time turns to the Dragonborn"
"What do you mean?"
“……”
This is beyond the NPC's knowledge, and he keeps his mouth shut.
Even if the NPC didn't know, An Yizhi could roughly guess what it meant.
As mentioned earlier, Ann Yizhi is a person who likes to delve into the parts that others are too lazy to read when playing games, and what fascinates Ann Yizhi the most in this series of games is not the grand plot, but the complex world view and the various books that are thrown on the ground and no one picks them up.
It's different from the kind of guy who only knows the energetic Argonian maid! Distinct!
To get back to the point, based on the plot of the entire series and the book records, the passage of the scroll prophecy can be understood as the Elder Scrolls, and the following poem-like thing each corresponds to the storyline of a generation.
When tyranny reigns in all directions (the first generation of the story, the court mage imprisons the emperor in an attempt to usurp the throne)
When the Brass Tower moves to Time Reshaping (the second generation of the story, the dwarven brass giant is activated, and the timeline is chaotic)
When the three major grants fail, the Red Tower shuddered (Volcanic eruption in the Province of Morning Wind)
When the Dragonborn crashed and the White Tower collapsed (Annihilation, Dagon tried to invade the world with his terrifying true body)
When the Snow Tower shatters, no one is the king, and the blood flows like a river (this is the plot now, the High King of Skyrim dies, and the two sides start a civil war)
I have to say that The Elder Scrolls really has a world view that is so grand that people are blinding, I really don't know how the original game designer came up with it, An Yizhi sorted out hundreds of thousands of words of clues when playing the game to sort out the whole story, and later he learned that the story setting set is officially available......
The purpose of asking this question to the NPC was not only to confirm the information he had, but also to make him sure that the copy he had entered was far larger than what he saw, and much larger.
The scholar mentions the Book of Dragonborns and also talks about the prophecy, knowing that only one of the locations mentioned in those prophecies takes place in Skyrim, which proves that there is a vast continent waiting for the player to explore, and naturally there are countless equipment and skills.
Cellodiel, Hammerfall, High Rock, Morrowind, Skyrim, Ilsvi, Valenson, Black Swamp, and Summerwilight Island.
Converted to a real-life size, almost the size of an Australia, there are so many places to explore.
An Yizhi hated that the Mao system did not arrange a fast travel function, such a large place for players to explore on foot to explore.
Talking about a thousand ways and ten thousand, these are too far away from the current An Yizhi, and maybe it is only possible to explore so many places when the player level mentions that they don't rely on their feet to move.
For now, let's focus on the task at hand.
After asking a few more questions about the location, there was really nothing more to ask, and Ann waved them away.
The souls of several NPCs bowed and thanked Ann Yizhi, and then headed to their respective destinations, perhaps the realm of some gods or the home of the Nords, Songgard.
Coming to the fork in the road, An Yizhi turned right without saying a word, and the road led to the nearest town to the Holy Land Town, Hemu Town.
"Why are you still following me?"
Without waiting for the Seven Killing Stars to reply, An Yi pointed and said:
"I know I didn't build this road, but you guys follow me and make me think of idiots"
“……”
Although it is easier for multiplayer dungeon players to work together to clear the level, it is obviously impossible to get An Yizhi to cooperate with the Seven Killing Stars, and An Yizhi would rather fight alone than see the stinky face of the Seven Killing Stars again.
And the latter is not the case, but if they leave An Yizhi, they will really be blind.
If you are not familiar with this place, there is not even a street sign around, don't go around and go back to the Holy Land Town, it will be sad.
"Ange ......"
Appletea was about to start a round when suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves from the road behind him, and soon several groups of about 30 Imperial soldiers appeared.
"The people in front of you stop! Lay down your arms and surrender now! ”
It's normal to be caught up by the Imperial Army, the three of them don't know the road, and they don't have a map, so they are worried that they will get lost before they take the main road to advance, and if these Imperial troops can't catch up, it's strange.
Seven Killing Stars and Apple Tea are ready for battle, there are about 30 enemies, and there are a few cavalry, even if the level is level 15~20, you must be careful, after all, there are so many of them.
An Yizhi was quite calm, he didn't even use a protective spell, please exhale:
Phantom Pony
A sturdy purple-fured steed came to him through a black mist-like portal, snorting happily. And An Yizhi didn't hesitate at all, just turned over on the horse, grabbed the horse's neck, and ordered to run along the road, running as fast as he could......
The two players who were left behind saw that An was gone, and suddenly there was a sentence to talk about! And it's a must-talk!
–‐‐——–‐‐——
After all, the horses recruited by magic are just ordinary horses with special abilities, and their endurance cannot be compared with cars, nor can they compare with those famous horses, and the horse is a little unbearable to sprint about a kilometer with all its strength, so Ann Yizhi ordered it to trot forward.
There was a fierce sound and a strong flash of light from the location of the Seven Killing Stars behind them, and it seemed that they had already fought each other, and the fight was quite lively.
"The altitude of the host seems to be getting lower and lower"
Needless to say, as the Phantom Pony left the trail, the road became smoother and smoother, and there were some green traces that could be seen here compared to the previous days when only dead branches and thick snow could be seen near Helgen.
Honestly, the view is nice.
At the farthest end of the line of sight, a high mountain stood there, it was the highest mountain in the entire Skyrim Province, High Roaring Peak.
The Graybeard Order, which wields dragon roars, is there, and there is a dragon on the top of the mountain, who is Alduin's brother, Tunax.
Follow the line of sight and push back, although you can't see it here, but according to the information you get from the NPC, you will reach White Man City if you follow this path all the way.
On the left side of the field of vision, you can see a spectacular ruin, it is called the Wastewater Ancient Tomb, which is the resting place of the remains of the ancient Nords.
However, this area of Skyrim is not friendly to mages, and these Nords are more inclined to melee combat than spells, and more discriminatory against mages than sorcery, so you may be able to find equipment or skills in the Nord tombs, but you can't find anything that mages use.
An Yizhi's current goal is to pass through Hemu Town and go to Baiman City.
If he remembered correctly, there was a court mage in Baiman City who could buy spell books from him, and An Yizhi had money......
