The sound sounded like a large group of Nords drank a lot of wine, and then used the alcohol to make loud noises and fights with each other, making the tavern a mess, but this place was obviously at the foot of a snow-capped mountain.
After cleaning up Silver Hand's headquarters "Drifting Shadow Shelter", Kalia, who joined temporarily on the way, said goodbye and left. The other comrades were not willing to stay in that place "full of vampire stench" for a long time, and finally decided to rush back as soon as possible.
Snowman reports the details of the mission to Krako Whitemane.
Due to the weather and terrain, the group had just walked out of the snow-capped mountains and entered the Xueman plain. It was already completely dark. They had to camp temporarily and rest, and planned to rush back to Xueman the next day.
Could it be that they were so eager to return home that they transformed and took him back to the city overnight?
Arthur looked around. It was indeed a temporary tent and sleeping bag, but what was the noise coming from outside? A caravan passed by and held a drinking contest? He slightly arranged his armor and weapons, opened the curtain and walked out of the tent.
The noise suddenly became several times louder. Outside the tent was not the expected camping site, but the second-floor corridor of the Snowman Mare Banner Hotel. You could clearly see many Xueman guards in the lobby on the first floor, drinking and making noise.
, Arthur could even distinguish the voices of several familiar mercenaries and the proprietress Hulda.
"This is……"
"What's going on! Arthur!"
Before Arthur could figure out what happened, an angry Ella walked past Li from the side of the corridor. He was still wearing the capable leather armor, but there were no war lines on his face. His real appearance was exactly what he expected.
not much differences.
"I want to know too." Arthur spread his hands.
"You..." Ella seemed even more angry: "You dare to do it, but don't you take it seriously?"
What did you mean? Arthur's instinct told him that something would be bad if he continued, so he remained silent and put on a puzzled expression.
"As a guard, I shouldn't have interfered with the Baron's private life, but are the things you said to me all lies?" Lydia appeared from the other side of the corridor. She was not carrying the giant shield, and her tone was as calm as ever.
, but there seems to be a black energy permeating the body.
What words? Arthur became more and more confused.
"Oh, isn't it obvious? Arthur, he chose me~" Another voice that was quite familiar to Arthur sounded from his side, and then the arm there tightened, as if he was being hugged directly by someone.
Already.
Satya Arthur looked over subconsciously, but turned her head halfway and turned back abruptly - although she couldn't see clearly, she must have too little clothing!
"Huh, there's no other way." Aila raised her bow and took aim: "Since this guy is indecisive, we can only decide the winner first."
"Although I am better at guarding, it would be a big mistake to think that I have no attack ability at all." Lydia pulled out the ebony dagger at her waist.
"Haha~ If you don't have enough skills, how can you ensure the safety of intelligence transactions?" Satya took out a pair of daggers from nowhere and said with a sweet smile.
I always feel like...something's wrong?
"[Choke——]" A huge dragon roar sounded, and the flame dragon breath directly destroyed the roof of the mare banner, and then a petite white dragon swooped down.
"[(Dragon Language) You killed my father!]" Sophie, or Sophie Lanier roared: "[Go to hell!]"
"Ah... So that's what happened." Arthur slowly raised his hand and pulled out a gorgeous two-handed giant sword with a golden blade and blue enamel decoration from an empty position behind his back: "But it's a pity.
These things can’t be called a ‘nightmare’ to me at all——”
"——'Sword of Oath and Victory'!"
The noisy tavern, the woman in the confrontation, and the attacking dragon were completely still when the sword appeared, like a beautiful oil painting, and then disappeared into nothing under the golden light it spewed out.
??:??
"Um...Dugu City?"
After the illusion of Snowrun City and the Mare Banner Tavern was shattered, Arthur found himself on the wall of a huge castle, heavily guarded, but neither the patrolling soldiers nor the garrisoned archers turned a blind eye to him, and the square inside the castle
There seems to be some kind of celebration going on.
Although Arthur has never been to Dugu City due to his camp affiliation, he has read in detail the urban planning of Dugu City and the general description and related information of Dur Castle. In fact, there is a city with a complete castle in the sky.
There is only one in Dugu City.
When Arthur found the passage down from the city wall and approached the square, he heard a slightly older voice speaking loudly.
"In the name of the Imperial Emperor, Uriel Septim II, I declare that the Imperial Princess Emilia Septim will be betrothed to the Lord of Windhelm City, Ulfric Stormcloak——"
"this……"
This is really a way to solve the civil war, but only if the leader of the Stormcloak is willing.
However, if you fall into such a nightmare, it means that the "something" that caused the nightmare thinks that this is what the "target" is afraid of, so could the original target be the lord of Windhelm City?
Arthur walked into the ceremony square, without any guards blocking him as always, so he easily saw Ulfric Stormcloak, who was holding a ceremony on the high platform, as well as the unseen girl in a white dress and an old man in rich clothes.
Hmm... Her hair is slightly purple and her skin is a bit dark. Although she can't be called beautiful, she is generally pretty and cute. Is Ulfric's requirements that high?
"If no one objects, I now declare this marriage to be legal-"
"[Fus Ro Dah]!"
When the old man who should be the Emperor of the Empire raised his hands with a smile on his face and was about to announce something, Ulfric turned around and blew him off the high platform with an "unrelievable force".
There was no time to think about whether this was an illusion. Arthur rushed over to catch the old man. When he looked up again, the castle and the surrounding guards became blurry in an instant. The only thing that was still very clear was Amy, who was looking at him expressionlessly.
Princess Leia.
??:??
That's it, Arthur thought on the way as he rushed over the city wall again.
The protagonist of this drama is not Ulfric, but the imperial princess. Her fears are "being married off casually" and "the emperor's assassination" - at least this is the judgment of the guy who created the nightmare.
Obviously, it was a complete error in judgment. Although the princess would not fall into panic because of this nightmare or illusion, she did not know how to get out of the loop. After several failed attempts, she decided to do nothing and began to carefully observe the flaws of the nightmare.
"——'Sibi Blackthorn' betrothed to Rift Valley City." Arthur heard the emperor's vision say this again.
Although the candidates are different every time, they are all influential family members in the Stormcloak forces. If those marriages are established, they can indeed effectively end the civil war. It seems that "whatever" caused the nightmare is not a complete fool.
"If no one objects -"
"I object to this marriage!" Arthur shouted.
Brush—the guards and guests who had originally turned a blind eye to him immediately turned their attention to him. If they were ordinary people, they would probably be shocked.
"[Why - you - object -?]" The guests, guards, and even "Xi Bi" and "Emperor" said in unison, and the reverberated voice sounded extremely weird and terrifying.
"Marriages in Skyrim Province need to be blessed by [Mara]!" Arthur replied loudly: "And as the imperial royal family, Her Royal Highness the Princess also needs to be approved by [Akatosh]!"
Although Arthur, who did not know the rules of royal marriage, was just talking nonsense, his purpose was not to convince the other party with words at all. He only needed to say the name of the Holy Spirit when "this nightmare" allowed himself to intervene.
Perhaps as a small dragonborn, Baron Xueman is not qualified to attract the attention of the Holy Spirit, but she is the princess of the empire.
"————" As expected, the entire "wedding venue" came to a complete standstill after he shouted those words, and then shattered like glass.
??:??
"Could it be that I made a mistake in my judgment?"
At the top of Hrothgar's peak, Arthur paced back and forth with his arms folded, shouting a "breath of fire" from time to time to keep warm, while Princess Amelia stared at him silently.
"...It turns out that the Baron of Snowman City is a fool." She said without emotion.
"Yes, that's right..." Arthur was not going to refute, he looked at the sky: "When you find that the imperial princess is also involved in the same incident, you should think about what we have in common instead of acting rashly."
Countless giant dragons are flying in this nightmare sky, with red flames, icy blue frost, blazing white lightning, weird blood magic, green diseases and plagues, and all kinds of breath are poured out by them.
On the land of Skyrim, even if the specific situation cannot be seen clearly from the position of Hrothgar's Peak, it is absolutely certain that Skyrim Province and even the entire continent of Tamriel have been completely destroyed.
At this time, a pitch-black ancient dragon that was countless times larger than the other dragons was gnawing away at the surface of the earth, biting open the mountain peaks like bread and swallowing them. As a result, the northern coastline of Skyrim Province has been pushed southward to the snow.
Manga.
"The Devourer of Worlds" [Alduin].
"What she fears is the 'end of the world'? The situation is much bigger than ours..." Arthur looked at Zella Pesh who was riding a blue dragon and kept attacking ordinary dragons, and said with emotion
Said: "But she is also a dragonborn?"
What do he and Princess Emilia have in common? Apart from the too vague condition of "both human beings", the only answer is that they all have "dragon blood", but the latter is a direct line of the royal family, and the former is wild
That's all.
Obviously, this "nightmare incident" was caused by Zella Pesh, who was also a dragon-born, who had offended the demon Valmina and was accidentally injured when she attacked through blood. It is not clear what other members of the royal family were in the capital of the empire.
Will it be affected?
"...She was once the saint of 'Ali-E'." Emilia said.
"Well, no wonder I felt very friendly when I saw her." A dragonborn who felt good about himself nodded repeatedly.
Isn't that Akatosh's incarnation as the Elf King? It's not unusual to be given blood.
"...If you want to see me, go to Longqiao to find the Sharp-Eyed Eagle." The princess stared at him for a while and then said suddenly.
"I think I will be arrested and tortured to ask where the princess is." Arthur shrugged. He had read the information about the princess's family.
Before Emilia could reply to him, Zella Pesh killed another giant dragon, but the dragon instantly transformed into the image of an old man, who seemed to be Master Tovdir of the Mage Academy.
Arthur seemed to hear a faint sneer, and then [Alduin], who was still gnawing at the earth and mountains, suddenly turned his head, accurately avoided Zella Pesh, and directly gave the "Tofdir" to
Swallowed.
The nightmare of "the end of the world" was completely shattered in the next moment.
——4E, 201, Hearth Moon, 13th, 12:07——
Arthur was awakened by the loud noise.
"Hey! Arthur! Do you know what time it is now? We have to return to Xueman before dark!"
"Although everyone is very tired from yesterday's battle, it's time to get up now, Baron."
"Woof woof!"
Hearing the familiar voices of his companions outside the tent, he trembled for some reason.
