Rolling dark clouds, desolate lavender land, strange broken walls and stone tablets, lightning that strikes the ground from time to time, huge soul stones floating above certain ruins, plus sporadic blue swimmers wandering aimlessly.
The soul is exactly the same as the scenery Arthur saw in his "dream".
The existence of the Soul Cairn had never been doubted because his strength had indeed increased at that time, but now he is only more convinced. Moreover, being able to open the channel from Cold Harbor so accurately and teleport there, Zella's evaluation has once again been raised -
—Although it is currently the highest.
Among the companions who came together, Princess Emil had no special reaction. It seemed that this place was just an ordinary plain. However, the eyes of her guards became sharp and they kept looking around, seeming to be looking for bunkers or possible enemies.
, while Babas was looking at the sky in a daze.
"Ah... I have some bad news for everyone." Zera waved her staff and said, "Does any of you still remember what day it is today?"
"Hearthfire Moon, twenty-seventh, what?" Arthur replied, and at the same time began to think about the reason for her question.
"In fact, today is already -" The female mage waved her staff again, and a row of beautiful handwriting appeared in the air.
[4E, 201, Hearth Moon, 28th, 19:46]
Click, as if to prove that it is not an ordinary combination of words and numbers, after this row of writing attracted everyone's attention, "46" flashed and turned into "47".
28th?
"This spell is generally used by apprentices in the academy when they are too lazy to light a lamp," Zella pointed at the row of words with the tip of her staff: "But in fact, its inventor intended to use it in places where the sense of time is confusing, or where there is a long time.
After falling into a coma or other uncontrollable state over time."
"Have we been unconscious?" Parasos asked nervously.
"No, I am sure that my actions and thoughts have not been interrupted at all, but when passing through the two realms of annihilation, the main material world suddenly skipped a day." Zella shook his head slightly: "If someone has been watching us, they will probably see
By the time we stepped into the entrance to Cold Harbor, we completely disappeared, and only appeared from the exit of the Soul Cairn a day later."
Why did she say it as if someone was really watching...
"Barbas?" Arthur lowered his head to ask the dog's opinion.
"Wow! I do know that it takes time to go from Annihilation to the main world. The stronger the demon, the longer it takes. It's not clear between Annihilation. After all, the conflicts between them all take place in the main world." Babas replied.
.
Therefore, since Baal was seriously injured, it did not take too long to reach his annihilation. Although this soul cairn has no owner, it seems to be very strong.
"Anyway, let's go back to the main world first when we finish things here. If going to Sungard takes longer, we have to make some arrangements first." Zella frowned slightly.
That's true, Arthur thought. Although he didn't agree with Alduin's evaluation of "the evil in this world", the interpersonal relationships were indeed as he said.
Any one of the three dragonborn present is elected as the "Supreme King" of Skyrim Province. After all, he has the title of baron - oh, forget about the princess, it's just a matter of mentioning it to his father.

Although there was a small accident that I didn't know what the consequences would be, I still had to do what I came to the Soul Cairn to do. It seemed that Zella wanted to find the soul of her friend, and she wanted to take this Hakon to him.
To his wife and daughter.
But the problem is that there is no ghost dragon coming to cause trouble this time. In that case, how can we find the castle in the boundless realm of annihilation?
"Mr. Harkon," Arthur walked up to the two vampires who were brought here, "I don't know if you have been here before, and I don't need to know. Please just point in any direction now."
Hearne is still in a coma, and the collateral damage caused by killing Baal does not seem to be enough to kill him, while Hakon's face is very calm, to a strange level, and it seems that some problem that has been bothering him for a long time has been solved, so
Entered into some kind of empty-headed state.
"Over there." Hakon raised his hand and pointed in a random direction.
"Very good, then let's go in the opposite direction." Arthur nodded.
Emil naturally had no objection, but Zella suddenly said "Huh".
"Speaking of which, since this is not my... area I am familiar with, you have to use prophecy spells to find something." She looked at Arthur in surprise: "How did you get the direction I just predicted?"
"It's very simple." Arthur felt inexplicably good about being able to surprise Zella: "As the ancestor of vampires, Mr. Hakon must be able to feel the location of other vampires, but he has not seen his own for thousands of years.
His wife and daughter, he must not want to go to them. Regardless of whether it is due to Barr's threat or his own reasons, in the same situation of annihilation, if he points in any direction at will, there is a great possibility that it will go against them.
."
"Wow~ It sounds very reasonable." Babas said in support.
"Oh," Hakon's calm face showed some fluctuations, and he seemed to be smiling? "Neither Belerica nor Serana are vampires. They escaped when Baal planned to make them the 'Daughters of Cold Harbor'.
"
"..."
"..."
This is embarrassing.
"Well, although it was a mistake, he did point in the right direction." Zeira waved his staff threateningly towards Hakon: "Are you going to take your followers with you, or do you want me to
Do you use levitation?"
"I dare not bother you." Hakon shook his head, leaned over to lift up Hearn, and walked in the direction pointed by Arthur.
"It shouldn't be very far, right?" Zella followed behind with her staff and glanced at Arthur.
"Speaking of which, the ghost dragon named 'Duneville' seems to come from here. I wonder if there is a way to cut off its curse summoning spell." Although Arthur knew that he should transform into a dragon and invite his companions to ride on it, by the way, he
Hakon and Hearn were caught in the dragon's claws and carried away, but he somehow didn't want to do it in front of Zeira, so he played dumb and followed.
————
"Click, click." "Woof woof!"
Due to choosing the right direction, more complete buildings gradually began to appear in the originally desolate plain in the field of vision. The number of wandering souls and huge soul stones suspended in the air also began to increase. Arthur was even standing next to a certain ruins.
He saw the "soul shell" that he had eaten a lot in his dream, but before he could decide whether to pick it or not, he saw Babas barking and rushing out to bite it off by the roots, then chewing it and running back.
"Soul shell?" As expected, Zella knew this thing, and her expression looked a little strange: "The soul of the king here eating this thing is equivalent to covering his soul with a 'shell', which can help
A soul with a mind can stabilize itself and run close to those soul stones without being sucked away. It can also accept the call of the main material world, but if it is eaten by a living creature..."
"Significant increase in strength?" Arthur is not sure, after all, his "constellation" may not be shared by everyone.
"That's a dream. If a living person eats this thing, it will be like putting on a shell outside the body. Although it can temporarily be immune to the attacks of those soul stones, it will gradually isolate itself from the world. Eating
If there are too many, they will be ejected." Zella paused and added: "These are what I read in the book."
Buzz——
As if to annotate Zela's words, a bright blue light film very similar to those souls appeared on the surface of Babas' body, just like the characters in a painting were traced with blue ink.
"...Wow." Emil blinked in awe, and then began to glance around, as if he planned to find one like this to eat.
"No, wait, Your Highness, there must be something bad about that thing, and it probably doesn't taste good either..." Parasos was so frightened that he quickly tried to dissuade him.
"Wow! It's crunchy!" Babas shouted, "It's a pity it's tasteless."
It’s delicious. How many more are you going to eat?
Click! A bolt of lightning hit the ground not far away, creating a small patch of scorched earth. At the same time, more than a dozen pitch-black skeletons crawled out of the ground.
They were confused for a while, and seemed to be planning to crawl back again, but suddenly they rushed towards Babas with their broken weapons raised high as if they were attracted by something.
"Wait? Woah! Ouch?" Babas originally planned to avoid it, but the light film on its body seemed to have its own life and directly fought back at the skeletons.
The dog and the bones fought fiercely. During this period, Babas regained control of his body several times, but because he was surrounded, he was slashed several times by the skeletons, so he finally started fighting in a rage.
"Well, this is what it will look like if your soul is not strong enough." Zeira commented.
"...Oh." Emil seemed to have completely given up on trying to find it.
While speaking, Babas completely tore up those black skeletons. He just breathed a sigh of relief, but the blue light film took it to pose a threat and prepare to attack the several people here.
"No! Help! I don't want to die!" the native dog screamed.
"That's enough. If you continue, you will disgrace the Demon God - 'Purify'!" Zella held her forehead with her left hand and waved her staff with her right hand to point at Babas. The light film disappeared directly. The native dog was very exaggerated.
He lay on the ground panting.
In Arthur's field of vision, the light film turned into a small black "death" at the moment it disappeared and merged into the terrifying "vortex of death" around Zeira.
The next moment, without the appearance of new wandering souls, a dozen white "soul shells" grew and bloomed around Zeira.
