After confirming that "Rabbit" was not a demon god in disguise, nor was it a lurking plan from other forces, Sophie completely ignored its weird shape and started playing with it happily.
"He actually mistook the 'rabbit' for a dog..." Babas bared his teeth as he watched the girl interact with the blue dragon.
"[I have never seen this kind of dragon. Could it be that it is a new one that has appeared in these years?]" Saloknir asked Paarthurnax in a dazed manner.
The skin is smooth and has no scales, and the overall frame and posture are not right either. The position of the head is too low and the limbs are too high. The wings are so small that they look like decorations. Overall, they are very close to the "big lizards" that the "dragon-slaying warriors" disdainfully call them.
”.
"[Of course you haven't seen it,]" Paarthurnax shook his head: "[This is Oridua, the ancestor Yuanlong, the first dragonborn.]"
"The first Dragonborn? Isn't it Tiber Septim?" As the current Dragonborn, Arthur naturally couldn't ignore these words.
"[Haha, Ismir? Although he founded the Dupa and Septim Empire, the history of mankind did not begin with him,]" Paarthurnax chuckled: "[Even Sgramer can't do it.
.】"
"Uh...I'd like to hear the details." Arthur then remembered that the person in front of him was an ancient dragon who had lived for who knows how many years. He must have very rich historical knowledge.
"[Tiber Septim, the Dragon of the North, is well-known because he created an empire that continues to this day, but before him, there were several empires that perished due to various reasons. This period of history can be traced back to the earliest
Dating back to the Northern Kingdom founded by Sgramer, although you call him the ancestor of mankind, he is not, he is just the ancestor of 'current mankind'.]" Paarthurnax introduced it in detail.
"Well..." Arthur couldn't interrupt at all.
"[Sgramor drove away the elves from the continent of Tamriel, and the period when the elves ruled was called the 'Era of Elves'. As for Miraak, he lived earlier, and that period was called the 'Era of Myths' by humans.
', at that time, humans were just slaves, while the dragons were the rulers of the continent,]" Paarthurnax straightened his body slightly: "[I was, no, I was - the emperor.]"
"..." Arthur had nothing to say. He was surprised, but not respectful. After all, it happened so many years ago.
Obviously Paarthurnax was not willing to let that topic continue, so he continued: "[The people who managed humans for the Dragon Clan at that time were people who were given power and were called 'Dragon Priests'. Since they were not the power of blood, so
They cannot yet be called Dragonborn."
"[But Milak, as the assistant of the Dragon Priest, found a way to successfully steal the Dragon Priest's dragon power and merge it into his blood. At this time, he became the first 'Dragonborn', and then,
He led his men to launch a rebellion and fled Tamriel.]" Paarthurnax shook his head and turned his gaze to Saloknir.
"[Because his behavior broke the legend that 'the dragon is invincible' and that the dragon priest is the strongest human being, resistance forces have arisen all over the dragon empire, and we have to go to full-scale war with humans," Salok Nir sprayed
He breathed out a dragon's breath: "[In the end, both sides suffered losses, and the elves took advantage.]"
Well...the old human empire perished, and the ancient dragons all entered the Dragon Tomb.
"[Before the collapse of the dragon empire, 'World Devourer' Alduin appeared and wanted to end the world and recreate it, but was eliminated by three human heroes using 'Dragon Break'.]" Patuna
Kes continued.
"Wait? Dragon Break? Destroy?" Arthur was surprised: "Didn't [Akatosh] not appear because of the 'Millennium Dragon Break' at that time?"
"[Thousand-year Dragon Break...]" Paarthurnax's body seemed to tremble: "[That was just to forcefully separate 'Akatosh' and 'Ari-E'. The Holy Spirit and the Demon God existed at the beginning of the world.
of.】"
"Hmm... So, what I want to do is watch the battle between the three heroes and Alduin through the 'Elder Scroll', and learn how to break the dragon?" Arthur pointed to the huge metal scroll.
"[I must explain in advance, Duwakein,]" Although there was no expression on the dragon's face, Arthur felt that Paarthurnax became serious: "['Dragon Break' is done by hurting Akato
How can you achieve the purpose of changing time? The longer the time, the more drastic the change, and the greater the damage. However, the intensity and cost of your dragon roar will not change. Therefore, when you want to change something, you must
Don’t act just for your own convenience. Maybe when you cheer for the perfect solution of something, Lord Dragon God is already covered in wounds.】"
"Isn't this...impossible?" Arthur felt that the old dragon's statement was a bit exaggerated: "Won't Master [Akatosh] refuse?"
"[You are a good man]." Paarthurnax said.
"Huh?" Arthur didn't know why.
"[Think about your behavior all the time,]" the ancient dragon added: "[Save Helgen, clean up the surrounding areas of Snowrun, track down the Silver Hand, fight against the Blood Lord, and even go deep into the dangerous Black Fall, but the purpose is
What? Was it ever for yourself?]”
Well, actually I was just looking for someone, and I felt that these actions would bring me closer, but even Arthur himself didn't believe it.
"[If your purpose of changing time still continues this style, 'Akatosh' will not reject you, so you must think carefully before actually using 'Dragon Break'.]" Pattunak
Si nodded and raised his wings: "[Go.]"
Amidst the scattered snowflakes on the top of the mountain, a vertical beam of light appeared not far away.
"Let's go, Barbas," Arthur picked up the ancient scroll and called the dog to walk towards the pillar of light.
"[Call me Lord Veer.]" Babas said dissatisfied.
"Okay, Babs."
The light beam itself was just an illusion used by Paarthurnax. Arthur didn't feel anything special at the designated place. He nodded to Paarthurnax and pulled the scroll straight down so that Babas could also see it.
.
The scroll began to emit white light just like the last time I read it in Zac Tower, and the pattern of the magic circle on the scroll gradually showed an image. It was vaguely a small garden. Could it be the same place as last time?
Forget it, if I can watch it again, it's worth it even if I faint again.
Just as Arthur was thinking this, he suddenly heard a surprised "woof" from Barbas beside him. When he subconsciously turned his head to look, he found that he was no longer on Hrothgar's Peak.
——??:??——
Although there is a garden around it, it is not the backyard of that house. It is more like a blank space deliberately left between the houses of nobles in some cities to distance them, and then some flowers and plants are randomly planted to block the view for the sake of beauty.
.
Babas was nowhere to be seen, and the ancient scroll in his hand had also disappeared. The surroundings were quiet. Arthur stood there and waited for a moment, but nothing changed, so he tried to walk outside.
Buzz——!
As he stepped out of the garden, a large number of noisy sounds came at the same time, making Arthur stay there for a moment. It took a while before he finally figured out what it was.
It was a mixture of war cries, weapons clashing, magic, screams, flapping wings, dragon's breath, roars and many other sounds, and what caught Arthur's eyes at the same time was a city at war.
The war between humans and dragons.
Countless dragons were gliding and swooping over the city, using their hot or cold breath to destroy everything within their reach.
Naturally, the humans in the city were not to be outdone, relying on bunkers to fight back with various weapons, occasionally shooting down a giant dragon, and a group of people around them immediately swarmed up.
Arthur's location was a monastery on a hill on the outskirts of the city. From his perspective, apart from being a larger area, it had neither defensive nor offensive value, so it was abandoned by both sides.
.
Could it be that the Dragon Break that defeated Alduin happened here? But there was no battle at all here.
Arthur was thinking about whether to try approaching the city when he saw a black dragon sneaking away from the battle group and flying towards the monastery.
Saloknir? Although all dragons look roughly the same, Arthur is quite familiar with this dragon.
The black dragon flew to the door of the monastery and landed with a crash. Although it stirred up a gust of wind, it did not even blow Arthur's hair. This made him sure that he was indeed observing the phantom of the past through the ancient scrolls.
"Sinestra?" Saloknir lowered his voice and called into the monastery: "[Alduin] has awakened. Humanity is finished. Come with me."
"I said, I won't leave." The door of the monastery opened, and a woman wearing a pure white robe walked out. Her hair, skin and eyes were all white, like an unpainted plaster statue, her voice was very
Soft and maternal.
"So what if I go with you? Did [Alduin] ever say that he would let you go?" The woman pointed to the sky: "You can't think that it is really a dragon just because it looks like a dragon. It is'
The Eater of Worlds', it believes that this world where dragons enslave humans needs to be ended, so it wakes up. No matter what you do, it will be useless."
"Then it's useful for you to protect these human children?" Saloknir raised his voice slightly, and when he saw Sinestra's snow-white eyebrows frowning slightly, he immediately lowered his voice again: "Listen to me, Dragon King
Your Excellency has decided to destroy all humans. In this way, the premise of 'dragons enslave humans' is no longer valid, and [Alduin] should fall into sleep again..."
The black dragon couldn't continue in the middle of his words, because several human children poked their heads out of the monastery behind Sinestra and made faces at him.
"Hell!" Salokniel was furious: "You are a dragon that can turn into a human, not a person who can turn into a dragon! They are just food and slaves! Figure out your position!"
"Really? Then you eat her." Sinestra pulled out a little human girl with light pink hair, blue eyes, and wearing a pink and white plush skirt from behind and pushed it towards the black dragon.
"Do you think I don't dare?!" Salokniel was probably so angry that he opened his big mouth and swallowed the little girl directly into his mouth.
"Oh, that's terrible." Sinestra covered her mouth.
"I said you - um!" Salokniel was about to say something, but suddenly he opened his mouth uncontrollably, and then he saw in horror that the little girl just now opened his mouth and walked out, kicking it in half.
One of his fangs.
"Father, I hate it." The little girl ran back behind Sinestra and said this to him.
"My daughter?!" Saloknir said in surprise, not caring about the half tooth: "Then you have to come with me. I will definitely find a good place to place you away from [Alduin].
,Those, tsk, human cubs can also come together.”
"Well..." Sinestra tilted her head and raised her hand to point to the city at war: "How are you going to avoid it?"
Click!
As if to match Sinestra's words, half of the huge city was missing, and then an extremely huge black dragon head slowly poked out from the cliff on the other side of the city.
[World Eater] Alduin.
When everyone was in a daze, only Arthur had time to wonder: Why does it feel a little smaller?
