Stray Chapter 204: The Elder Scrolls and Disinfection

A warm breath envelops the whole body, and it feels like soaking in a hot spring, which is indescribably comfortable.

Xia Ran could clearly feel that all the fatigue, injuries, and hidden dangers all over her body were quickly repaired in the beam of light, and her head that was about to crack was also suddenly healed. Feel comfortable up.

The intense pain disappeared in an instant, as if everything before was an illusion...

After finally being able to breathe a sigh of relief, he closed his eyes and relaxed his tense nerves. The mental exhaustion couldn't be contained, so he fell into a deep sleep.

……

……

I don't know how long it took before the young man slowly opened his eyes and woke up somewhat dazedly. Because he had not experienced such a completely relaxed and peaceful sleep for a long time, it took him several seconds to realize where he was, and recalled what happened before he fell into a deep sleep.

Xia Ran pressed her forehead, sat up from the smooth to no curvature of the unknown alloy ground, and shook her head vigorously.

The splitting headache before seems to have left a certain degree of sequelae, so that after the comprehensive repair of the space, he still has an illusory headache. Fortunately, this is purely psychological. And it's disappearing fast.

But there is a problem, he is in darkness and can't see anything...

He tried waving his hand, then issued a new command to the space, making sure he didn't turn off the lights. And it seems that since the time of his return, he has not been able to see the outside world through his vision, but has only determined the surrounding environment by integrating other perception abilities.

In other words, is this his own eye problem? What went wrong, and even the full repair of the space failed to save it?

“…Huh?”

Xia Ran frowned and found that the matter was not simple, but she did not panic, but thought calmly.

It's probably because the perception ability is getting stronger and stronger. After all, for ordinary people, vision is an important sensory perception that receives more than 90% of external information. Once blind, it is an unimaginable major blow.

But for a person like him who has already embarked on the path of transcendence, even if he loses his normal visual ability, it will not be a big problem. There are many methods and means to make up for the loss of mere vision... and His intuition is also keenly determined, and his eyes will soon return to normal.

But what he cares about is, why does this happen to him?

"Your vision has not suffered substantial loss. The current state of blindness is affected by the Elder Scrolls. It will recover on its own after a certain period of time, so there is no need to repair..."

White space gives definitive definitive answers.

There is no problem with its full repair, and there is no problem with Xia Ran's state, because he is not really blind, everything is normal, and this small effect will heal on its own after a certain period of time.

The Elder Scrolls? The thing you saw was actually the Elder Scrolls?

However, Xia Ran's heart was filled with turbulent waves, and the scenes that happened before his return were flashed back in his mind like lightning, and it was vivid in his mind.

It would have been a miracle that he survived that planet-scale apocalypse, because when it happened, he was one of those guys who were especially unlucky and bore the brunt of it.

He is in an unknown depth of underground space under the Holy Blood Mountain. In the face of the huge disaster that the entire planet is shattered and the sky is torn apart, how terrifying this situation is, is completely conceivable. In the case of the tens of millions of tons of mountain rock formations under the tower, directly crushed to death seems to be an ironclad outcome.

However, Mephala's magic knife protected him, and at that critical juncture, perhaps the power that erupted through the demons was too strong, or perhaps the laws of the mortal world had been shaken, so the seal on the ebony blade turned out to be too strong. It was also briefly propped up by the power of the magic knife.

It was at that time that Xia Ran saw the essence of the "seal" that seals the Ebony Blade, and saw what it was.

It is a long scroll that is unfolded and surrounds the blade of the Ebony Blade, and its appearance is no different from a normal scroll.

The content above is very complicated, consisting of rows of symbols and a series of concentric ellipses surrounding a cross coordinate system, with multiple rays radiating from the coordinate center to the outermost circle. On top of this figure, there are many impossible symbols and many zigzag patterns similar to the constellation diagram.

The moment he saw it, Xia Ran subconsciously imagined himself in layers of the finest fabrics, raised the fabrics to cover himself, and when he began to breathe, he experienced every aspect of the fabrics. In one sense, the fabric fills its own soul and becomes a heavenly word with prophecy...

A large amount of knowledge that seems to be the embodiment of truth seems to have poured into his mind directly through the link of the soul. Although most of them are completely incomprehensible, he intuitively feels that it is like being in Xueman City. Li Jinghong saw the same "tower" at a glance.

It's just that what he sees now is a design drawing, but what he saw that day was a real example...

After that, he didn't know anything. He just felt that a lot of information caused his brain to be overloaded and burned out. Even if he returned to the space, there was almost no way to think and send it out. Even a complete thought command.

——Although Space did nothing, it should be judged that his problem is not serious, at least not life-threatening, so emergency measures were not activated.

Anyway, Xia Ran really didn't expect that his own is actually something like The Elder Scrolls, the core of that mission world, running through all the series.

It is said that it is a mysterious scroll that exists above the mortal world. The material that constitutes the scroll is unknown, except that it is a fibrous cloth.

The existence of scrolls transcends time, and the number is indeterminate, because scrolls themselves are uncountable. It can be said that these scrolls existed before the generation of time, and when the mortal world took shape, the scrolls were already hidden in it.

There used to be a large number of scrolls stored in a secret room in the Platinum Tower, but in 4E 175, all the Elder Scrolls in the Platinum Tower disappeared, and clues to the scrolls were found all over Tamriel. .

In 4E 201, three scrolls were acquired by the Last Dragonborn in the northern province of Skyrim: The Elder Scrolls (Dragon), The Elder Scrolls (Blood), and The Elder Scrolls (Sun)...

Now, it seems that Xia Ran also got a scroll in a way he didn't expect?

But this thing exists as a seal of the Ebony Blade, and there is no way to take it out alone for the time being, and Xia Ran doesn't know what it's used for.

After all, this thing is not a weapon or a skill book, the source is extremely abstract and vague.

The Elder Scrolls are said to record various events on that world's timeline, including the past and the future. It's this ability to see the future that makes them so mysterious and important, and it's only a tiny fraction of their internal power.

But the question of just how many Elder Scrolls there are cannot be answered by itself, let alone what each scroll actually records.

Even if someone with power scrolls and narrates the contents, the predicted events are not guaranteed to happen. Only when the event foreshadowed in the scroll actually occurs, the record of the event in the scroll will be fixed.

The other thing is that after leaving the mission world, it is still unknown whether it can foresee the future, at least Xia Ran thinks it is very mysterious. He seems to have acquired a very precious item, but this item has no substantial effect on him.

The only effect seems to be... a brief moment of blindness?

Because the Elder Scrolls need to pay a price, first of all, the demander has talents such as precognition, and secondly, after a long period of practice and complicated rituals, anyone who attempts to use the Elder Scrolls will be temporarily deprived of their vision, and with the Over time and for how long, this temporary blindness can evolve into permanent blindness.

But there are also abnormal ways. For example, in the original destiny of the last dragonborn, at the time-space crack on the throat of the world, without ritual preparation, the Elder Scrolls (Dragon) was successfully recruited, and Odu was recruited. Due to a fight to the death.

Perhaps Xia Ran succeeded by copying such similar conditions in the unstable time and space of the end of the world and the collapse of the present world? He thought this was the most likely scenario.

"It should have been thought of long ago..."

He rubbed his forehead in distress. Mephala said it before, even his eyes could not see through the seal of the Ebony Blade. Although there was stability in the world at that time, only a very small part of his power could penetrate. for the sake of.

However, there are really not many things that can seal the demon artifact and prevent the prying eyes of the demon god, right?

The Elder Scrolls are an option, and even Alduin the Eater of Worlds has been banished by its power - in the prehistoric dragon war, three ancient Nord warriors fought with Aldu on the Throat of the World With the decisive battle on the horizon, a warrior took out the Elder Scrolls and banished Alduin to the year 201 of the Fourth Age, thus ending the Dragon Wars.

But it is precisely because of this that Alduin will reappear in the Skyrim Province of the later generations. After all, the predecessors were not able to solve the crisis at all, so he exiled it to the future, so that the later generations would have a headache.

But speaking of Mephala...

Xia Ran shivered uncontrollably, hesitated for a while, and then reached out and picked up the magic knife on the ground next to her.

Maybe it's in the space, it's quiet at the moment, not even the whispers that have been talking all the time. The special vision played a role, and the attribute page of the equipment appeared in front of Xia Ran's eyes, and it seemed that nothing had changed.

He exhaled lightly, then thought for a while, and carefully took out the obsidian pod from the inventory.

At least while it's still in the white space, no matter what happens, there's room to find out, so let's be more decisive... After all, it's always something to face.

A powerful force instantly blessed him, and all attributes were increased by 20 points, making him instantly feel that he had accomplished a great feat, and at the same time, he also felt that his vitality had suddenly become particularly strong, as if It is a burning oven, and the magic seems to communicate with a space with infinite energy.

At the same time, a prompt sounded, and Xia Ran looked subconsciously——

"Warning! The obsidian pod shell of the gold-level equipment is awakening with unknown energy, has an unknown mutation effect, and is in the process of being sealed... The seal failed!... According to the space authority treaty, the obliteration is completed!"

He was silent for a while, then thought about it seriously, and clicked on his unread space prompt. On top of the fully restored information, there were more than a dozen almost identical prompts—

"Warning! You have an unknown energy awakening, an unknown mutation effect is occurring, and the seal is in progress... The seal failed!... According to the space authority treaty, the erasure is completed!"

"Warning! The golden-level equipment Ebony Blade has unknown energy that is awakening, has an unknown mutation effect, and is being sealed... The seal failed!... According to the space authority treaty, the erasure is complete!"

…………

It's probably like this, it's all such a template, and it's not just Xia Ran, and it's not just a few pieces of equipment obtained from Mephala.

Including Naya, the Ring of Fire, every piece of equipment on his body had such a crisis, including the dragon sacrificial mask, the dragon bone dagger, the court mage suit, and more.

The obsidian pod shell is always in the inventory, so when it is taken out, the disinfection mechanism of the space is automatically triggered.

Xia Ran took a deep breath and took out some leftover materials and finished potions in her inventory, followed by a series of warnings that lived up to expectations.

He was almost numb, how long did it take Mephala to put a trick on every bottle of medicine on him?

Fortunately, the white space is powerful enough... Wait, the white space has always been very powerful, but is a demon who is best at intrigues and tricks the only way to do it?

Let's not say anything else, even the methods of those who smuggle drugs are not necessarily so unskilled, right?

Xia Ran's expression became more and more solemn. He was very sure that Mephala didn't put her hope in this aspect at all. It was just a means of implanting with the idea of ​​being better than nothing. Fake a shot and let yourself relax.

His real backer must be somewhere else, and even this devil may have already completed the smuggling...
