The sky began to turn white, and the early morning sun rose from the mountains in the east. The light gradually illuminated the ruins of Brasilin'an, announcing the official end of Jane Russell's fruitless vigil.
After Arthur and other "qualified people" all entered the vortex, or the "well of souls", the entrance was shrouded in a thick white smoke that looked like clouds and fog. It itself had no resistance or counterattack power.
But Ella, who tried to follow and broke into the fog, strangely came back through it. According to her, she was able to confirm that she had not turned around and was walking forward, and she did not feel anything unusual, but she inexplicably returned the same way she came.
, then several members of the comrades group tried it, and the results were exactly the same.
Unable to think, everyone could only follow the pre-discussed plan and start to set up defenses to deal with the dragon that launched the surprise attack - but nothing happened during the night.
According to Jane Russell's intuition as an elf and an archer, she judged that there should be an extremely powerful "something" or "who" to help everyone block the night attack. However, as the sky became brighter, this intuition also quickly faded.
, could it be some kind of nocturnal creature? Does it have to go back to its nest as soon as dawn?
In addition, perhaps it is an illusion, this "protection" vaguely reveals a... "maternal nature"?
"Enemy attack!" After the "protection" completely disappeared, Jane Russell, who was responsible for guarding the sky, still found nothing, while Farkas, who was mainly responsible for guarding the direction of Braxilinan, suddenly shouted a warning.
The dark elf archers followed the sound and saw that the ancient tomb, which was usually ignored by Braxilin's visitors, was continuously pouring out strong corpses, and leading them were the two incarnations of the legendary twin emperors.
The ghoul overlord, what made her eyelids twitch even more, was that a bone dragon crawled out from the long-abandoned Brasilin'an ruins, joined the ghouls and approached the Shalidor Labyrinth together.
"[M-L-K!]" The bone dragon, which was completely reduced to a skeleton, roared horribly, and it was not known which part of it made the sound.
"Hey! You archers and mages, think of a way!" Although the bone dragon itself is still far away, the three Wilkas brothers and the abandoned princess guard have already fought against the surging skeletons and ghouls.
, although they could destroy several, or even dozens of monsters with just a wave of their weapons, but faced with the seemingly endless number of undead creatures coming like a tide, they hurriedly called for help from behind.
"It's a pity that although I look like a support character, I'm actually a melee fighter!" Satya tore open a few places of her maid uniform and tied it up, revealing the light leather armor underneath, and then put on a pair of fingernails.
Tiger rushed directly into the front line, punching a corpse and a skeleton. Wherever he went, it was like a whirlwind, slightly reducing the pressure on the people in front.
No, no one with a bit of discernment in Snowrun City would think you are an ordinary tavern girl... Jane Russell glanced at Satya, raised her bow and tried to shoot at the bone dragon in the distance.
Duo! Duo! The two arrows hit the bone dragon's huge head at the same time, no, the skull, but they made a dull sound like a defeat, and then they both fell. When Jane Russell turned to look at Ella, she found her
He is also looking at himself.
"Our weapons can't harm it!" Jane Russell shouted: "Where is the old mage who fought alongside us in Blackfall?"
"He said that he has made significant progress in his spell research and cannot take action for the time being!" Ella replied loudly amidst the noisy roars of the undead creatures: "And! Who said it can't cause damage?"
Then, she directly put away the bow, made a strange posture with her hands and muttered something. When Jian Russey doubted what she was going to do, Ella pulled her hands, and a long bow made entirely of lavender magic appeared.
In the next moment, several arrows flew straight out of her hand. They penetrated all the corpses and skeletons along the way as if they were entering an uninhabited land. It was not until they reached the two overlords that they were lightly called by the other party.
open.
"Isn't this still unable to cause harm?"
"cut……"
"Fire, storm!"
When the two ghoul overlords had just knocked down the flying arrows and turned their attention to Jian Russell and Ella, several fire dragons suddenly appeared and quickly circled around them, burning all the undead creatures they came into contact with along the way.
, finally merged around them, and then an unusually thick pillar of flame rose into the sky, completely engulfing the two corpses.
"Well done, Master, let's do it again!" The three Farkas brothers cheered as the pressure suddenly dropped.
"It can't be done in a short time," Septim said silently and walked out of a house on the edge of the maze with his huge book: "I am not like that girl. I am a genius and have the blessing of the Holy Spirit. Now
You have to prepare a defensive spell, just hold on for a while."
Under Jane Russell's curious eyes, the old mage walked up to the two archers.
"The corpses and skeletons here cannot be completely eliminated," he said: "Brassilin'an, as the oldest ruins and temple, can summon almost endless dead people. We must leave."
"Is there an entrance?" Ella looked at the foggy maze door.
"Before they left, they only warned to prevent the dragon from approaching. They did not mention the corpses and undead. This is enough to prove that they have no ability to affect the 'Well of Souls'," Septim said silently: "Now I can take you in.
But there must be some kind of connection with the people inside."
"Contact..." Ella looked around, and then looked towards her as Jian Russell expected.
"Smart girl," the old mage nodded slightly and looked at Jane Russell: "Among the people present, only you and Satya have nothing to do with the people who entered Sungard, so now you have to take care of yourself and her.
Choose a name, although I don't know the meaning of these names obtained through prophecy spells - 'Guinevere' or 'Morgan', choose."
The style of this name... seems to be very similar to the names of the "Knights of the Round Table" used by Arthur and others when they disguised their identities. When chatting with Ella about this matter, she complained about her name of "Drizzt"
It's too neutral, and it sounds a little sad, but there's nothing contradictory about it.
Now it seems that those names were not made up by Arthur casually. They are more closely related to each other than imagined, so much so that they can be traced back by prophecy magic to those that have not been said yet.
At this time, you can only choose based on intuition. Jian Russell frowned slightly amidst the roars of many corpses and thought for a while, and intuitively judged that one of the names was closer to Arthur, so he said: "I choose-"
—'Morgan'!"
Dazzling golden light rose into the sky.
——12:47——
At noon, a team came to Brasilin'an. They all wore white hoods that covered most of their faces, and wore windbreakers with red stripes on a white background. There was an inexplicable sense of chill in their movements. They seemed to have been used to being in the crowd for a long time.
Walking between life and death.
Even so, they were quite surprised when they saw the corpses covering the entire ruins.
"Tsk, what happened here? Are all the ghouls from all over the sky here?" One of them took off his hood, revealing a green head that belonged exclusively to Argonians.
"Perhaps it has something to do with the golden beam of light we saw not long ago," said a man in white with two Red Guard scimitars on his waist: "Savira, you'd better not take off your hood casually."
"Don't worry, the Night Mother won't be angry because of such a trivial matter." Another person also took off his hood, revealing a big beard and a shiny bald head: "I can only say, Nazir, the fabric you used is not good for the scalp.
not good."
"As a person with hair, I don't know what it feels like to be bald." Nazr crossed his arms.
Hey! Among the team, the shortest man in white suddenly raised the weird spear in his hand and turned to look at a man with many patterns similar to squares, plum blossoms, hearts, stars, etc. on his white windbreaker. Because of his movements, there was something strange
Big, her hood slid down on its own, revealing the face of a girl with a small silver forehead ornament.
"Please, mother~ (Heart)" The man in white, no, in colorful clothes spread his hands: "You said you don't allow me to have ideas about other people's beards and hair, but I strictly abide by it~ Hehehehe (Plum Blossom)"
"Lily, don't worry about that clown -" Another girl in white clothes with a similar height next to the girl hugged her: "You said there is a fight worthy of everyone's dispatch, where are the enemies? They are not lying on the ground.
Bar?"
"No, the enemy should be here..." Lily raised her hand and was about to point at the Salido Maze when the ground not far from her suddenly exploded, and a terrifying giant dragon made entirely of skeletons broke out of the ground. However, the skeleton had
They were all burnt black and looked quite miserable.
"Mi-la-ke!" It stood up, roared with unknown meaning, and then suddenly swung its claws down.
Ding! Dang! Two claws were blocked in the air by an unusually burly man in white and a slim woman in white.
"Mirak? Sounds familiar?" The hurricane caused by the movement of the bone dragon lifted the hood of the second girl in white, revealing her eyes with yellow light and the pair of pointed little tiger teeth in her mouth: "This
Couldn’t the dragon be the unlucky dragon lord whose soul and scales were taken away by the first dragonborn in the legend?”
Click.
The bone dragon seemed to feel incredible that it could not suppress two "ordinary humans" in wrestling and increased its strength. But at this moment, one of its vertebrae fell out of thin air, and then it seemed to have lost a key supporting building block.
It also collapsed directly.
"The target has been cleared, leader." The hooded woman in white who was originally walking at the end of the team floated down from the air and said to Astrid.
"I've said it several times, Gabriella, now I'm not the leader... forget it." Astrid threw away the dragon claw in his hand and gave up trying to persuade this subordinate with firm eyes.
"Our goal is behind that white mist gate," said Jeanne d'Arc Lily, the Night Mother and the current leader of the Brotherhood: "However, we have to find a way to enter, such as - that!"
Before she finished speaking, the little girl suddenly jumped towards the edge of the ruins and hugged a shadow tightly: "I caught you! Reindeer!"
Then it looks like it's a horse...wait?
Astrid took a closer look. Isn't this the Shadow Nightmare she lost when she went to recruit Jeanne d'Arc?
