This Alduin is probably blind to a certain extent.

"Good morning, Your Highness Princess."
"Gui'an, my lord princess."
"Sister Amelia, this is my donut. Let me give you one~"
In the early morning, at the campsite by the White River, Eddie walked through the convoy holding an ebony sword. The nobles and workers who were packing their bags and preparing to set off all greeted her, and the brave children even wanted to share breakfast with her.
The "princess" responded politely and actually took the donut from the child.
Last night, when the situation was in chaos and it seemed that no one could escape, Princess Emilia stood up. Instead of using her dagger, she pulled out the ebony sword of Parasus with her backhand and breathed out the dragon completely with one sword.
After being killed, many deep wounds broke out on the weird black dragon's body. It roared in pain and ran away hastily.
Then, before anyone else could react, the princess threw the ebony sword directly into Eddie's arms, and then pulled Parasos to become invisible, so the credit was firmly placed on Eddie, who couldn't become invisible or sneak.
superior.
The grace of saving a life, the ability to injure a giant dragon, and the identity of an imperial princess are enough to keep the respect and love of this group of Rift Valley people who are on the road together.
But if you put aside those things that only focus on appearance and figure...
"She is just a little girl. The Snow Hoof family's Erhei's vision is really a problem."
"That's right, I thought the imperial princess was a dark and strong person who could pick up a battle ax and fight a troll."
Beside the carriage far away from Eddie, two noble women were talking in low voices. They might have thought that they would not be heard at such a distance - if the princess was really an ordinary person.
"...There is no problem in fighting a troll alone." In the air beside Eddie, a whisper that only she could hear came from the real princess.
"Haha..." Eddie didn't know how to respond, so he kept smiling.
"In that case," Parasos' voice came from the other side: "Among our sharp-eyed hawks, do you like Tasilius the best?"
"Yes, yes," since the princess and her guards did not show up, Eddie felt like he was talking to himself, so he became a lot bolder: "I also thought I liked a big guy like Tasilius very much.
He's tall, but after meeting Esgeil, I realized... he wasn't black enough."
"...Pari."
"I'm very sorry, Your Highness Princess. I will report to the eldest sister when I return this time and transfer Bogel Bear Claw from the intelligence department."
"Huh? What does it have to do with Daxiong?"
——7:31——
The western border of Snowman Territory, the suburbs of Loristed.
In the abandoned Imperial Corps small camp, Ironboyn and Astrid were resting in one of the tents.
With the werewolf's resilience, some minor injuries have long been healed, and the feeling of exhaustion from fighting to the death has been eliminated. Not only that, he has also gained the ability to further transform into a giant wolf, which can be said to be a blessing in disguise.
But Astrid was much more troublesome. Other wounds were okay, but the penetrating wound from her back to her chest caused her to lose more than 90% of her combat effectiveness. This was no longer something that bandages or drinking healing potions could do.
It's solved, you have to go to the priest for "advanced recovery".
"I have already taken care of the pursuers behind me." Jeanne Darc opened the door of the tent but did not enter: "When can you leave?"
"You can do it at any time." Ironboyn stood up.
When Astrid said he was going to recruit a "little girl who robbed the Dark Brotherhood's business out of righteous anger," he didn't take it to heart yet. Even though she successfully completed several commissions, he didn't pay much attention to it until [
The Night Mother] and the "Listener" arrived, and after she easily suppressed the clown and cooperated with Gallus to make a big name in Markarth City, he began to officially pay attention to her.
Unlike his wife, who always thinks about how to establish authority in the Brotherhood, which one is more important, the Night Mother or the leader, how to make the clown obey, and other small things, Ironboyn pays more attention to the information she inadvertently reveals.
The first is the name. Generally speaking, only nobles or people whose recent ancestors were nobles will have surnames. If a descendant of a nobleman becomes a farmer or worker, even if he has a surname, he will not use it to shame his ancestors. For example, Ai
Emberjorn's surname was "Corvinus", and he told no one except Astrid.
Jeanne Darc, nicknamed Jeanne d'Arc, is amazing. Not only does it mean that she comes from the Darc family, it also means that at least two elders of other families with the same status and good friendship have called her that - if she is from her own family.
The elders would only call her Arang or Nana.
Secondly, there was the identity of "Xino Scholar" that she threw out in an understatement. Astrid probably thought it was some kind of mage organization and didn't pay much attention to it, but Ironboyn happened to know about it, and this is the only one who has completed it so far.
The organization that explores the ruins "Brasilien Labyrinth", in which the "Staff of Magnus" that originally belonged to the master of the labyrinth, Salidore, appeared in the hands of Zella Pesh, the chief mage of Winterhold College, which also explains Joan of Arc from the side
Why can she be invited to help?
Another member of this organization is Aran Savos, the former chief mage of the academy. Although he has handed over the title of chief mage, what he has to do is no different from usual.
Finally, according to records, the headquarters of Xino Scholars is in "Atayum", an elusive floating island, which is also the territory of the most mysterious mage organization, the "Issyk-Kul Order", which is dedicated to
"Contain", "control" and "protect" all things that are not suitable for contact and control by mortals - of course, according to their standards.
The mages in this sect have wonderful "projection" spells, the most common function of which is to carry out ultra-long-distance teleportation and dialogue. Considering that all the targets in Joan of Arc's missions are dead, the answer is already obvious.
Jeanne Darc is a powerful aristocrat.
She deliberately attracted Astrid's attention in order to be recruited into the Dark Brotherhood.
She teleported all the "dead" to Artayum.
The organization behind her is very interested in the "Night Mother".
The conclusion is……
Forget it, an ant running among dancing elephants has no need to know the weight of those elephants.
"How did you handle it? Kill him?" Astrid stood up and asked.
"The Night Mother did not issue such an order," Joan of Arc raised an eyebrow: "She just hypnotized the few captains who could command and let them sleep for about half a day."
"Oh, Night Mother..." Astrid curled her lips as if she wanted to say something.
"There's no time to chat now, which way should we go?" Ironboyn stopped Astrid's next words and asked Joan.
"Go directly back to Falkreath," Joan of Arc replied: "Because we made a lot of noise in Markas before, the Imperial Regiment thought that the Sanctuary was nearby, so most of them went in that direction."
"Then, let's set off as soon as possible." Ironboyn bent down and picked up Astrid by his legs. Astrid was stunned, and then put his arms around his neck.
"Tsk." Joan of Arc turned her head and looked to the north: "Here we go again, you go ahead, don't wait for me."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Haha, can't you show off your affection?" Astrid looked at Jeanne's back: "She may be very powerful, but she has no luck with men."
Regarding his wife's remarks, Ain Boyon could only smile bitterly.
——7:43——
Winterhold, Mage Academy.
Zela Pesh was walking down the corridor holding a glass of milk, her eyes unfocused, and she was mumbling something from time to time.
The tiger-man Zag blessed himself with many protective spells, and stood in her way with a gnashing expression. Then a group of apprentices were laughing and waiting to see the joke.
Zela's current state is "projection". She learned from the Issyk sect in Artayum. She can project herself in certain places where she wants to go. She can talk and cast spells. She cannot really contact the entity, but she can put specific objects into her.
Send things back.
It is said that the reason she went to learn this spell was because many instructors agreed that as the chief mage, it was inappropriate for her to never show up in the academy. As a result, she has now become a situation where she will not disappear at all.
Most of the time, she was playing outside, and a projected shadow "appeared" in the academy, but there were also cases where she was in the academy and projected out.
But human energy is limited, and it is impossible for her to perfectly control both the projection and the body at the same time, so when her attention is on one of them, the other will appear sluggish.
There are other apprentices who tried to learn this spell, but the effect was not good. They were completely unable to adapt to this "extra self" situation, and it was easy for both parties to behave in the same pattern, or to move freely while being completely in a daze.
Therefore, Zella's behavior of eating breakfast while projecting is quite impressive. Of course, it is also possible that she is just projecting an image of herself eating breakfast.
The tiger man's current behavior is a dangerous game called "testing whether Zela is real". Whether he breaks through the projection or hits himself, he will be in bad luck - in different senses.
It's obvious that this guy lost the game of kings.
"[Die! Dragonborn!]" As Zela got closer and closer, and was about to hit Zag, a roar of a giant dragon came from the window: "[Yu-Tusu!]"
The raging dragon's breath of flames fell from the sky, but when it approached the building, it was completely blocked by the magic circle that enveloped the academy.
Dang, Dang, Dang - the spell alarm sounded. A few of the incompetent people, such as Ms. Larina, hid in the depths of the academy, while most of the other mages rushed out.
"What? A giant dragon?" "The dragon bone is mine!" "I want the dragon scales!" "Then I want the dragon soul!" "Bah, do you think you are a dragonborn?"
"[Die! Dragonborn!]" The huge black dragon was still spitting at Zag and Zera.
Huh? Wait, is Zera the Dragonborn? Zag thought knowingly.
Before he could think clearly, the tiger man suddenly noticed that the eyes of "Zera" in front of him suddenly changed a lot. She blinked, looked at the current form, and suddenly showed a sly smile.
"Die! Reptile!" When a group of mages who were preparing to grab materials rushed over, they saw "Zera" flying straight into the sky, roaring and suddenly self-destructing, and the black dragon was blown away with a bang.
.
"Ah...material..." "No, wait, since this Zera is a projection, then the so-called Dragonborn is——"
A group of mages turned around and surrounded Zag, their eyes dazzled.
I will never play the king game again! Looking at the classmates sneaking away around the corner, the tiger man yelled in his heart.
