The current situation is that the mantis is chasing the cicada, the oriole is behind, and I am behind the oriole~
——4E, 201, Hearth Moon, 1st, 4:22——
"Dad~Dad~Where are we going~"
Sophie sat on the back of the giant red dragon, patted its scales and asked it questions.
[(Dragon Language) Find a place to hide.] Arthur growled while paying attention to the movement on the ground.
"Why hide it?"
"[...]" Although Arthur was very depressed now, he couldn't get angry at Sophie, a little girl, so he had to remain silent.
Originally, all I had to do was wait for Sophie to wake up from her sleepy state and take her back directly. It didn't take much time. But the result was that although Sophie woke up, she still took her back.
She had forgotten the reason why she turned into a dragon and flew away. When she saw Arthur in dragon form, he thought he was competing with her, so he turned around and flew even happier. Since it was just dark at that time, Arthur couldn't call out loudly.
, that will attract the attention of those on the ground who are not yet asleep, and they will have no choice but to chase after them.
After finally catching up successfully, Sophie shouted "Admit defeat, admit defeat" and turned into a little girl and sat on the back of the red dragon. Arthur finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn around, but he encountered a hail of arrows.
Those people looked like the Imperial Legion, but judging from the strange black light arrows mixed among them, it was obvious that there were blade warriors among them. Although those arrows could not pierce his scales, because they had to take care of Sophie, Ya
Se had no choice but to turn again - an action that soon proved to be a serious mistake.
I don’t know what happened in the actual control area of the Imperial Regiment. Many camps and troops did not rest. When they saw a giant dragon flying in the sky, they decisively launched an attack with their bows and arrows, because they were unwilling to attack ordinary people like a real dragon.
After launching the attack, Arthur had no choice but to fly farther and farther with Sophie. When finally there were no more arrows shooting from the ground, he saw the northernmost coastline of Skyrim Province in front of him in depression.
Before dawn, Arthur finally found a secluded valley to land. The two snow bears that originally occupied this place seemed to be frightened by the dragon's power. Even if Arthur turned back to a human later, they were hiding in the corner and shivering.
Dare to get close.
After comparing the terrain he had overlooked with the map in his memory, Arthur judged that he had now flown to the snowy mountains in the northwest of Skyrim Province, and flying directly to the east was Dugu City, the capital of Skyrim Province. No wonder those people from the Imperial Regiment
Trying so hard to drive him away.
For now, they just need to find a way to go down the mountain after dawn and hire a carriage in the nearest village to go to Loristed. Even if they are still wary of the giant dragon, they never thought that the dragon would become
People, but this will delay at least two more days. We can only hope that Ella, Lydia and Leah will not act rashly alone.
For now, the only good news is that the method of transforming into a dragon is right. Although I flew all night, I don't feel too hungry yet, but Sophie...
"Hey -" Arthur looked at Sophie who was rushing towards the snow bear and sighed deeply.
"Hey——" came the echo from beside me.
No, it’s just a depression that’s not even a cave, where’s the echo coming from?
Arthur turned his head and saw a gray native dog. Because the hair on its body was very long and it was lying silently on the ground, he seemed to have mistaken it for a worn-out piece of fur.
"Hello?" Arthur thought he must be exhausted because he greeted a dog.
"Hello." The native dog glanced up at Arthur and replied listlessly, sounding like a decadent middle-aged man.
"I'm sorry, what did you just say?" Arthur suspected that because he had been flying for too long as a dragon, he not only had auditory hallucinations, but also had visual hallucinations.
"I said 'hello'." The gray-haired dog bared its teeth at Arthur: "Is there something wrong with your ears?"
"Um...uh." Arthur didn't know how to reply for a moment.
"Is it strange that dogs can talk?" The native dog babbled to himself: "There are giant dragons in the sky, giants in the wild, cats with two legs that travel everywhere, and cats that look like lizards.
A human who turned into a wolf, and now I'm being questioned by a guy who can turn into a dragon if I can speak?"
"That's different," Arthur retorted seriously: "Those things already existed, and among so many dogs in Skyrim, you are the only one who can speak."
"Huh, since you can't accept the fact that dogs can talk, just think of these words as weird barks, which are just enough to form sentences that can be communicated with people." The native dog yawned: "I want to eat.
You can drop those two snow bears as you please, don’t delay me from recharging my energy.”
"It sounds like you are planning to carry out some mission. Do you need any help?" Arthur is a hunter after all, and has little resistance to canine creatures. And maybe it is because of this that he is dissatisfied with the fact that the top brass of the comrades are all werewolves.
There is little contradiction to the facts.
"I want to defeat a magician and a... wolf and take away an ax collected by the magician," the dog said: "In the process, neither of them can die."
"Well... what's the reason for doing this?" I originally thought that the mission of the native dog was to hunt or find objects, but I didn't expect it to be such a... humane mission. Arthur had to suspect that this was an order given to it by someone else.
"There was a little girl who secretly believed in Hircine and was given the blood of a werewolf. She would transform uncontrollably twice a month. In order to protect her, her magician father moved out of the city to study a solution.
Then I met my master, Clavicus Vile." When the native dog said this, he seemed to pause awkwardly, but Arthur couldn't read the expression on the furry dog's face.
It is indeed a dog raised by the devil. No, in other words, the appearance of this earth dog is probably just a "shell".
"Then?" Arthur nodded and signaled it to continue.
"The master gave him an 'Axe of Regret' and said that as long as he used an ax to chop off the girl's tail when she turned into a werewolf, he would be able to 'no longer turn into a werewolf uncontrollably.'" The native dog turned his gaze to the side.
.
What's the deal with this weird weapon name? Is there something wrong with the obviously wrong effect? How stupid does that magician have to be to actually do it? Arthur can almost guess that the girl will never change back after her tail is chopped off.
situation.
"Then, the werewolf whose tail was chopped off completely turned into an ordinary wolf. The magician became furious and refused to listen to anything the master said. Whenever he saw me, he would greet me with a fireball as big as a basin." The native dog shook.
Tilted his tail.
"So you are going to sneak in and bring back the ax?" Arthur frowned, "If your master just wants to get the weapon back and clear the relationship, not only will I not help him, I will also stop you."
"Devils don't have such shallow ideas as 'cutting off the relationship'. They will only publicize what they have done. Although this incident was caused by the master's bad personality, if you want to completely solve it, you really have to take back the ax and put it away.
The blessing of Hircine that was taken away from the girl was handed over to the master for transformation. If they keep holding the ax, nothing will change." The native dog replied.
"Okay, I decided to help you. Where is the magician's residence?" Arthur nodded and temporarily accepted the explanation of the native dog.
"It's in the abandoned mine cave at the foot of the mountain," the native dog raised its front paw and pointed toward the outside of the cave.
——5:27——
"Boom boom boom——" "Go to hell! The devil's lackey!"
Facts have proved that wearing heavy armor is completely unsuitable for sneaking, even if four stars are lit up in the "Stealth" constellation, Arthur was even discovered by the magician earlier than the native dog, and then there were a lot of fire elements
An indiscriminate bombardment of destructive magic.
For a small cave that was abandoned after failed prospecting, the shelter space is quite insufficient.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Sebastian, I'm here to help you - [Yol]!" Arthur dodged all kinds of fire magic in a panic. If he couldn't avoid it, he simply neutralized it with a breath of fire.
Before the action, Arthur had exchanged names with the native dog. Its name was "Babas", and the father and daughter who were tricked by the devil were named Sebastian and Flowerdream respectively.
, all belong to the aristocratic Lots family in Dugu City.
As for Sophie, it's better to let her sleep holding the two crying snow bears, it's messy enough here.
"Hahaha! I will never believe anything said by the devil or the Holy Spirit again in this life!" Sebastian, the gray-haired old mage, laughed crazily and responded to Arthur's explanation. If the overwhelming fire element came from
If magic is the answer.
"I'm going to accuse the tiger -" As Arthur was fighting with the old mage, Babas ran out from the depths of the cave with an ax in his mouth, followed by a huge black giant with smooth fur.
The wolf kept opening its mouth and trying to bite it.
"Whether you believe it or not, we are here to remove your daughter's beast bloodline. We will see the result in two days at most -" The old mage can't fight, and even the hilt of the sword will break his muscles and bones, and this wolf
There is no need to worry, Arthur said loudly as he used his sword to hit the giant wolf that rushed towards the wall, and then followed Babas to escape from the cave while the old mage went to check the status of the giant wolf.
"Who told you it would take two days?" After running far away, Barbas put down his ax and wagged his tail at Arthur.
"Just tell me where you want to send this ax. I am confident that it will fly to any place in Skyrim Province within two days - let alone your demon altar in other provinces." Arthur took a breath and stared at Baba.
Si said.
Arthur was also a little surprised that he was so concerned about this matter, but if he thought about it carefully, his mission this time was to try to remove Riya's werewolf bloodline, and what happened to the old mage's daughter who was also a werewolf was unavoidable.
pity.
"If it takes two days, it shouldn't be needed. The altar where the master can descend is near Falkreath. Even if you take a carriage, you can get there in a little more than a day." Babas tilted his head and looked at Arthur: "Did you plan to go there in the first place?
?”
Arthur frowned slightly. The Green Jasmine Witch Villa seemed to be located in the west of the city. Could it be a coincidence?
