The architectural style of the Dawn Guard Fortress is unique in the entire sky. Of course, for Lu Zhengkang, it is more like the "classical European style" in reality. The fortress is built on the mountain. When viewed from above, it roughly looks like a "
"Introduction", you can actually see many tower-shaped structures, which can be said to be a structure composed of several towers stuck together.
Entering the interior from the tall iron-nailed wooden door, you can clearly feel the style of Roman architecture. The most obvious ones are the various vaults, whether they are barrel arches, cross arches, or even the towering dome on the main hall.
Lu Zhengkang smiled knowingly.
The decoration of the building itself is very simple, and even shows signs of being old and dusty. Fortunately, it has various functions, integrating defense, garrison, logistics, imprisonment, interrogation and other necessary combat measures.
The dome of the main hall must be mentioned, because this part is open for light transmission, and the bright sunlight can directly shine in the center of the spacious and spacious hall (due to a modeling error in the game, sunlight cannot penetrate. When viewed from the outside of the fortress, the arch
The roof is sealed), this design reminds Lu Zhengkang of the Roman Pantheon, which also has such a light-transmitting vault, but the vault of the Dawn Guard Fortress is more like a chimney, while the Pantheon is an almost standard spherical vault.
Rain and snow can cause water to enter, so drainage channels are designed on the ground of the main hall, which is quite comprehensive.
In addition, there is a special mechanism on the vault that can move a simple lens to the center of the vault. This lens is very special because its core component is the beacon of the demon god Meredia.
This demon is in charge of life, vitality and light, and hates undead creatures extremely. It is said that he was once a Daedra, and later took the initiative to join in annihilation and became Lord Daedra, a member of the stars. That is, he broke through at the beginning of the creation of the world.
Cage of Annihilation, one of those spirits that create tiny holes in the sky, they are also called magne-ge
Although Meredia is the only demon who is not considered so evil, Lu Zhengkang is really not familiar with her and has no intention of dealing with her at all.
After all, he is now a mature necromancer, and he must know how to protect himself and the ghost descendants under his command.
Contrary to him, Ishran, a Redguard, liked Meredia very much. Like most Redguards, he hated the necromancy that desecrated the corpses of his ancestors.
The effect of the lens on the vault is to amplify the exorcism effect of sunlight. All undead creatures will be burned to death when exposed to such light.
Ishran sighed contentedly, "It's time for this castle to return to its glory. In the Second Era, it belonged to a lord of the Rift Valley. This was a stain."
Lu Zhengkang read in other books that the Dawn Guard was established by the Rift Valley Lords at the time in the First Era. However, according to Ishiran, it seems to have originated in the Second Era. Who is right and who is wrong?
It's easy to tell. Lu Zhengkang is not a historian, and he has no intention of getting to the bottom of things.
Serana stood in the shadows hiding from the light and said with emotion: "During the time before I fell asleep, the vampire hunters who were against my father at that time also called themselves the Dawn Guard. Today, when I came here in person, I actually had a sense of time.
The illusion of going back in time.”
Everyone in the Dawn Guard was also quite curious about the eldest lady of Walchiha, especially after hearing that she was determined to abandon her despicable vampire blood, everyone felt a sense of intimacy as they saw a like-minded friend.
Xi Lang complained: "It turns out that this beautiful lady is really not young. You and Bai Shan look too young together."
Serana raised her eyebrows, "Thank you for the compliment. This is one of the countless reasons why I fall in love with him."
Lu Zhengkang touched his face, "I think it's okay, he's quite charming." Hearing this, the strong man Gangma nodded in agreement, "Indeed, Baishan, your face is so ugly!"
Everyone was chatting and laughing. They came from all over the world, but they said that the guards were mainly Nords, Orcs, Redguards, Wood Elves and other races. The other races didn't seem to have much interest in this profession. Since there were no high-ranking people,
Elves, so everyone usually focuses their fire on Thalmor when joking.
"Here? Let's have some cum jokes."
…
Lu Zhengkang invited everyone to Winterfort to celebrate the New Year, but was rejected by the conscientious vampire hunters. Taking advantage of the fact that there was still some time before the end of the month, Lu Zhengkang went to the Mara Temple in the Rift Valley. Priest Dingya was still mysterious.
It seemed that I was not surprised at all when I saw Lu Zhengkang and Serana arriving hand in hand. They even joked about planning a wedding for them as soon as they met.
Lu Zhengkang and Serana refused at the same time. "No need." "Sorry..."
After the two finished speaking, they looked at each other.
Lu Zhengkang: "Serana, the fact that I don't want to get married is not because you are not good enough."
"I know, but I would like to know why."
"Well, because I'm not ready yet."
"What a coincidence, so am I."
Ding Ya looked at these two shy strangers with strange eyes. She said with emotion: "Love is such a mysterious destiny. It transcends time, space, life and death. There is a wonderful fate between you. Mara has sent a revelation. I don't know whether you two
Want to hear it?"
Lu Zhengkang responded to the pastor in front of him with even more strange eyes. He suspected that Ding Ya was a magician or the incarnation of Mara. Otherwise, how could the revelation of the Holy Spirit be true?
"Uh, I'm all ears."
Ding Ya took a deep breath, sighed slowly, clasped her hands, lowered her head and lowered her eyes, and chanted:
"Seek life from the light,
"Seek peace in the darkness,
"No encounter is a coincidence,
“The Divine has already planned it,
"At the time of reversing life and death,
"It's really the time of dawn."
Lu Zhengkang was once again puzzled by his implicit expression, but Serana beside him was thoughtful.
"I see."
"What do you understand?"
"I want to ask Lord Meredia for help!"
"Wait! No," Lu Zhengkang took her aside and lowered his voice, "You are an undead creature and will be killed."
"No, didn't you hear Mara's revelation? Seek life from the light. The moment of dawn is the moment of reversal of life and death. As long as I pray sincerely, the Lord will fulfill my request, but..."
"No, I don't agree."
Lu Zhengkang couldn't help but pulled Serana out of the temple.
Serana let the troll man take her out of the city gate, got on the motorcycle and rode away.
She leaned into Lu Zhengkang's ear and said, "Aren't you always a very open-minded person?"
"That's because my relatives and friends rarely have strange ideas."
"Will you support this strange idea of mine?"
Lu Zhengkang was secretly angry and did not answer. In his peripheral vision, the world on both sides of the road was in chaos. The distant mountains were silent and stood as tall as trees. The thick clouds in the sky were very low. After a while, the motorcycle drove under a dark cloud, and snowflakes were scattered all over it.
With the ground hitting the barrier and the feeling of rain hitting the window lattice, Lu Zhengkang finally calmed down.
"You don't have to worry about the identity of the vampire. In fact, we still have a lot of time to study how to crack it, just like it gives you this ample time."
Just wait, in a few years someone will study the ritual magic of how to eliminate vampire blood. Don't go to Meredia, it will be an adventure with no return.
"Bai Shan, you don't understand. Revelation cannot be escaped."
"Since when did you believe in fate?"
"When fate knocks on your door frequently, you can't help but not believe it."
