Stray Chapter 192: Departure
Speaking of which, it seems reasonable to have a dagger in the off-hand weapon of a magistrate, at least a lot more than that with a long-blade weapon.
For example, in this world, even a terrifying priest like the Dragon Sacrifice has a special Dragon Sacrifice dagger by his side, but in other Western fantasy worlds, this seems to be not uncommon... As for the reason, it is difficult to explain this kind of almost conventional cognition.
Anyway, for now, this dagger is not only for melee combat, it is also possible to carry it on the body like the Ebony Blade.
Furthermore, it seems that among the destruction spells that Xia Ran has mastered, only the lightning element has no bonus increase, and the others, whether it is fire or frost, have been strengthened.
Back to his residence, he briefly checked his current equipment, and Xia Ran found that it seemed to be almost in shape—
Dragon Priest Mask, Fire Ring Naya, Dragonbone Dagger, Ebony Blade... High-end melee magic equipment is readily available.
There is also a black iron-level summoning ring that was purchased in the white space. When I first arrived in Snowrun City to relieve the dragon crisis, I received a bronze-level element necklace rewarded by Lord Balgruuf because of the professional treatment as a court mage. A bronze-level court mage suit.
It seems that if it weren't for the unrealistic pursuit of a full set of golden robes, then he has nothing to lose. Although the court mage suit does not really belong to him strictly speaking, once he leaves, it will be taken back.
But Xia Ran hasn't left her job, has she?
Although this position has no meaning to him, he still clocks in to work every day. Anyway, it is easy to paddle water and fish for fish. After completing daily tasks at the fastest speed, he can also work in Continue to learn magic from the Whisper Lady in the Dragon Sky Palace.
Since there is no impact and there are still some conveniences at ordinary times, he naturally chooses to continue to maintain this state... In this case, as long as he returns to the white space and leaves this mission world, this set of equipment will naturally belong to him. .
Well, if you want to come to Xueman City for a great career, Lord Balgruuf will not care about such a set of court mage's work clothes.
What's more, if this world has no future at all, then no matter what it is, whether it is knowledge, skills or weapons and equipment, everything that originates from this world will lose its meaning if it is not taken away before that. .
Even if it is the Holy Spirit or the Demon God, if there is no way to escape, it will still be completely wiped out of existence, and it will never end.
——Even if the gods of this world are powerful or omnipotent, they are absolutely unable to resist the creator who wakes up in the void.
It's not even a confrontation at all. The latter just wakes up, and the former ceases to exist, because the entire universe is a dream of the creator, and the gods are just a thought-like concept in the dream.
So Xia Ran doesn't have too much guilt about the matter of picking up the wool like this.
Because he felt that if the world was doomed to be destroyed, his actions would not cause any loss to Xueman City. After all, let alone Xueman City, even Xueman Leader, Tiantian Province, and even Thailand Neither the continent of Muriel nor the planet of Nairn will exist.
And if this world can continue to exist and continue to operate peacefully and peacefully... Well, in order to celebrate that the end of the world has not come and the world can continue to exist, there is no need to worry about such trivial matters, right?
Well, yes, it's that simple.
……
……
Because the waiting equipment was in hand, and the alchemy potion was finished, Xia Ran received another task after dealing with some affairs about the court mages again.
He didn't take it on his own initiative, but Lord Balgruuf personally explained it, I hope he can accept it.
The main content of the mission is to go to the Sacred Blood Mountain in the southwest, investigate the ruins above, and determine the trail of the dragon. It is said that there have been sighting reports recently, saying that someone saw that kind of legend on the edge of the nearby mountain. The shadow of the creature is as huge as a mountain and as dark as night.
And just a few days ago, the group of lost people in the city took on several other missions and set off to brush the "Broken Tooth Cave", "Bone Passage" and other dungeons one after another. Go to Gao Hou Peak, study the Dragon Roar hard, and transfer to Roar Master.
So, Xia Ran is the only one who can go to check it out... Of course, Xia Ran is not going to go to the dragon slaying alone in Xueman City, but I just hope that he will check it out first and confirm the information. .
Although those giant dragons are just resurrected undead, and their status abilities are relatively weak, not as good as the heyday of the Mythic Era, but in many cases, a team of seniors must cooperate tacitly, with mt, output and control. It's good to have milk so that we can cooperate in the crusade.
Xia Ran has not been arrogant enough to feel that she is so strong. Although she has experienced many times before, which time was not restrained by someone, someone was pulling hatred, and everyone cooperated with each other to complete it.
So if you want to play solo, the risk is too high, and the possibility of rudeness is quite high. Although he has made great progress in this period of time, at most he can ensure that he can succeed when facing the giant lizard. retreat.
However, he still took on such a task.
He didn't really want to slay dragons, nor did he fancy the rewards of Xueman City. How rich can the rewards of a reconnaissance mission be? Thinking about it, he knew that it was impossible. He was mainly looking for another demon artifact, and the location of this task was very close to the clues given by Mephala.
And this quest would justify him trying to acquire such a lost treasure without raising suspicion... After all, it was for a legitimate reason, and it wasn't his initiative.
Lord Balgruuf is really a good man, he just put on a pillow when he was about to doze off.
But it is also understandable that the return of the giant dragon to Skyrim Province will bring huge losses, especially in a world where productivity is not developed as a whole. It is already a great loss for the giant lizard to destroy several villages. , If the main city is attacked once, the losses may not be less than a local war.
So, even if the location is at the junction of Xueman and Mosar, no one knows whether the possible giant dragon will be more interested in Xueman or Mosar...
Speaking of which, wars, dragons, robbers, undead... The people of Skyrim are truly troubled.
After accepting the mission, Xia Ran rejected the accompanying team arranged by Lord Balgruuf and set off directly.
He said that it would be more convenient to move if he was alone. Even if he encountered a giant dragon head-on, he could retreat at any time, but if it was a guard team of dozens or hundreds of people, there was no way to retreat.
The carefully selected pony, under the protection of the magician's stamina spell, low-level energy potion, and the multiple augmentation blessings of the mind shield, only spent three days running all the way to close to Xueman and The junction of the two major territories of Mosar.
The rolling snow-capped mountains are like a huge jade dragon, lying in the southwest, dividing the border between the two territories and becoming the most natural boundary.
The top of the cold peak is soaring into the clouds, and halfway up the mountainside is the snow-capped scenery. It seems to be snow-covered all year round and the ice that never melts, and the mountain looks very steep and steep from a distance, no one knows. What kind of secrets are hidden in the depths of this primitive and ancient mountain range in the long years.
According to the information that can be determined so far, there are ancient dragon mounds on the peak of the Holy Blood Mountain, and in a nearby mountain range, there is a Mephala altar that has been ruined and abandoned for many years.
It is said that there is a magic artifact that has been shelved in the altar. As long as the altar is found, you can get it...
As for what will be encountered during this process, it is difficult to say, not to mention another frost dragon that may exist on it, just the frost ghosts and snow trolls that may often appear in these cold areas What, they are already very dangerous magical creatures.
Of course, as long as it's not a giant dragon, Xia Ran can still handle other things, which fully shows his progress and growth——
After all, just before the last mission, he still felt that if he entered this world, it would be his limit to be able to compete with some powerful magical creatures... and now, the weather today is really good. .
Looking at the rolling mountains in the distance, as well as the gray lead clouds like a sky above the mountains, feeling the weather is getting colder and colder, Xia Ran exhaled softly, but there was no white fog.
Even the pony he was riding was the same. He snorted a few times, but he didn't see any white air coming out. It seemed that the temperature of the air around this person and the horse was not the same as the outside environment. Something like that.
Xia Ran rolled over and dismounted, took out a low-level energy potion, pulled the plug, and poured it into the pony's mouth.
He doesn't bring much hay, but this energy potion is quick and easy, the materials are available everywhere, and mass production is not a problem. He now pursues efficiency more, so he simply came here.
Otherwise, how could this horse have been galloping nonstop for three days? Didn't he rely on his endurance technique to strengthen his physical strength, and then rely on the energy potion to quickly replenish the consumption?
If it weren't for the mental exhaustion that couldn't be recovered through the energy potion, and the pony still had to sleep, he could even cut his time in half.
The way this horse looks at Xia Ran now is not right. This person is a devil in its eyes. Except for sleeping, the rest of the time is just rushing non-stop... But this person is still Using a method that it can't understand, it is always full of energy and can't stop at all.
Xia Ran finished pouring the potion, so she didn't care about the pony, she just narrowed her eyes and looked at the cold wind howling outside, the barren wilderness environment, thinking about where to go up the mountain.
There doesn't seem to be a lot of people nearby, and it's probably difficult to find a guide... He thought about it, and then he looked up at the sky with a feeling.
In the sky not far away, there is a black spot flying in the sky. His incomparably keen perception is enough to clearly see that it is an eagle hovering high in the sky, overlooking the earth, flapping its strong and strong wings, and the feathers on its body. Feather is clearly visible in his eyes.
——Very good, now the local tour guide has also found...
The magician burst into laughter. Although the smile was hidden behind the bronze mask, no one else could see it.
He raises his hand, gestures for a pistol, then lifts his index finger and fires a shot. A few seconds later, the little black dot in the sky suddenly stopped, then suddenly flapped its wings, turned its direction, and swooped towards this side.
Soon, a black eagle with a body length of about half a meter folded its wings and landed on the arm of the magician who had not put it down. It combed its feathers with its sharp beak, as if it was being attacked by someone. domesticated eagle.
In the Summoning system, "Animal Summoning" is also not a very advanced magic. After all, if you can summon the samurai and elemental life from the annihilation domain, but you can't summon the animals in your own world, how can this be? It's unreasonable to say.
It's just that this magic has always been underestimated, and it belongs to the kind of very tasteless magic, because it is not as powerful as some similar dragon roars, which can force nearby creatures to fight for you.
The creatures that can be summoned are often less powerful, non-magical creatures that are difficult to control. Moreover, its usage requirements are relatively strict, because what is summoned is a real creature, and it is impossible to create something out of nothing.
——There is nothing around you, but blowing a whistle, a horse will be refreshed from your back in the next second, this kind of thing is impossible.
However, in Xia Ran's view, there is no useless magic, so for example, now, he has gone a step further on the basis of the subtle connection with his magic pet, and has mastered the ability of "mind chain", which can be used by this skill. Share your familiar's perceptions and explore the world around you.
It's not limited to being a familiar, other creatures are the same.
Flying the eagle into the sky, Xia Ran sensed another wonderful perspective unfolding in her mind with some discomfort, and felt that her style of painting was suddenly skewed to "Assassin's Creed".
Well, do you want to consider the Ring of the Khajiit?
