The Collection of The End

——4E, 201, Last Seed Moon, 17th, 9:00——

Arthur... the king of dragons?

The pen in Hadawa's hand stopped, looking at the blond young man in front of him, he didn't know whether to write it down or not.

In Falkreath Territory, this hunter named Arthur is still quite famous. After all, he can hunt some ferocious beasts that ordinary hunters dare not try, such as snow bears and snow tigers. Report the full name, probably the popularity will be higher.

But with such bombastic names on the occasion, it's hard to imagine those Imperial soldiers who didn't sleep a wink for days and nights trying to grab the Stormcloaks have spare sense of humor.

"Pfft...hahaha——" "What is that?" "Talos is here."

Sure enough, it was the Stormcloaks who were laughing, which would only make the curmudgeon-captain take the name as a deliberate provocation—even if it was his real name.

"What to do, captain, he is not on the list we have." Hadawa turned to ask the female captain who had just walked back.

As the guard and clerk of General Tullius, Hadawa knew very well that the reason he was able to capture the leader of the Stormcloaks this time was because there was an insider in their team.

Otherwise, no one would have imagined that they would not take the fastest route in the north and choose to detour through the mountains in the south to return to their sphere of influence.

"Don't worry about it, people from Stormcloak don't know how to engrave words on their foreheads, so treat them the same way." This female captain, who seems to have the blood of the Redguards, has never rested since she set off. Those who are promoted by the proposal, try to be impeccable in everything, or in other words, be ruthless.

"I'm very sorry, I will send you back—" Hadawa said halfway, but found that Arthur was staring straight at the female captain next to him, and there was no hatred in his eyes that had just been sentenced. If there is no mistake, then Is it... mercy?

"What are you looking at!" The female captain was furious at the sight. Maybe she had seen too many hateful eyes, but being stared at by this kind of eyes like looking at a dying person still made her furious: "Prepare for execution! The first one is You! 'Dragon King'!"

"boom!"

Hadawa saw Arthur rushing forward, and after knocking the female captain away, he quickly rolled away from his original position. He subconsciously pulled out his sword, but in the next moment, he saw a fiery line of fire descending from the sky sweeping past the female captain. The ground where the captain stood just now was burnt to scorched earth, and at the same time, there was a terrifying roar resounding above his head.

“[Yol Toor Shul——]”

A huge, pitch-black, ferocious, terrifying monster with scales and huge wings, even bigger than the sentry tower, crouched on the top of the watchtower, with the remaining flames burning in its mouth, staring at the burning monster below with its blood-red eyes. Houses and, chaotic crowds.

That is - dragon!

According to ancient legends, giant dragons soar in the sky and destroy everywhere. The ancestors of the Nords have gone through untold hardships and made many sacrifices, and finally wiped them all out. The giant "dragon tombs" in various places are where their bones are buried. Place.

However, everyone present had only seen them in murals and book illustrations, and it was absolutely impossible to defeat this giant monster—at least with the fragile short swords and weak longbows in their hands.

"Kill that monster!" The female captain was the first to respond, drawing her sword out of its sheath and shouting loudly, but this also revealed that she actually didn't know this former overlord of the sky at all.

Boom, boom, boom, several arrows flew towards the black dragon, but were blocked by its hard scales without any suspense, and had no effect other than attracting the dragon's attention.

"Idiot!" Hadawa heard Arthur's voice behind him. He swung his arm and cut the rope on the long sword he was holding, and then snatched his long sword and shield with the accuracy of an experienced hunter. and valid.

"[Yol——]" the dragon breathed fire at those imperial soldiers who dared to shoot arrows at it,

The archers fled in all directions, and two unlucky ghosts failed to escape. One of them was knocked away by Arthur, while the other was completely protected by his raised shield.

"Go!" Arthur yelled. "Get out of town! Or find the nearest cellar! Don't attract that dragon's attention!"

He dropped the iron shield, which had been burned red by the dragon flames, and even started to melt, and raised his sword to aim at the huge black dragon that was also staring at him.

"[Toor Shul!]" The giant dragon spewed out a raging flaming breath again, Arthur rolled and avoided, and more houses burned.

Hadava noticed that General Tullius and the Thalmor ambassador had left with some imperial soldiers, while the female captain was leading other soldiers to evacuate the residents. As for the Stormcloaks, they all took advantage of the chaos and fled with Ulfric... …

"Rarov? Why are you still here?" Hadawa frowned and looked at the "citizen" who was quietly touching the longbow on his back. behavior is still unresolved.

"Just kidding, that's a legendary dragon." Larov took off his long bow and aimed at the black dragon on the sentry tower: "If you don't teach it a lesson, it's not fun to destroy a town, fly to Ximu If the town..."

"Raloff, you—"

"It doesn't matter if you burn your blacksmith shop, but it will be troublesome if you burn my sawmill."

"—You really are a bastard."

Boom! Raloff's arrow hit exactly—the giant dragon's claws on the sentry tower. The black dragon turned its head as if intending to breathe out on them, but the fragile sentry tower under its feet collapsed instantly due to the constant breathing. Unexpectedly, the dragon, which was leaning down due to its own weight, spread its wings in vain and fell into a piece of rubble.

"Nice job." Arthur ran over and returned the hot iron sword to Hadawa: "But this can only buy a little time, so we should run away quickly. I just found out that there is a cellar over there."

"[Ang——]" The ruins of the sentry tower exploded suddenly, and the black dragon, which was not buried too deep, flew into the air, spouting a fiery sea of ​​flames and chasing the three of them, but they hid in time in a stone-built building. The built building, it hit the ground and destroyed the entrance of the building, but couldn't enter because of its size, and finally became angry and began to destroy the remaining buildings of the empty Helgen.

————

Raloff decides to try to recruit Arthur.

This hunter is skilled, fearless in the face of danger, extremely witty and has some grudges with the empire. It would be best if he could be drawn into his camp.

For example, now, this cellar seems to be a prison that Helgen has not used for a long time. When both he and Hadawa thought it was a dead end, Arthur only knocked around the wall with a short sword for a while, and then hit the wall with his hands. A big hole was smashed on the top, exposing the underground passage behind.

It was a shallow underground river flowing through the naturally formed karst cave, and the wall of the cellar happened to open beside the river.

"Sometimes hunting will inevitably enter the Nord ruins, and I have some experience with the distribution of passages." He explained: "This should be some kind of secret door for escape, but the switch is broken and can only be opened."

What are you hunting to enter the Nord ruins...

As the earliest inhabitants of Skyrim and even Tamriel, the Nords left behind many ancient ruins. Many well-preserved ruins were used as ordinary houses, but more ruins were used as shelters by wild animals and robbers. Place.

"So, based on your experience, should it be possible to reach the surface?" Larov asked as he walked up the slope of the underground cave.

"It should be possible, but the 'master' here doesn't seem to want us to leave easily." Arthur frowned, stepped forward and raised his sword.

"It's the Frost Spider—" Hadawa, who had replaced a shield in the previous cellar, also stood on top.

Having lost his opportunity to perform, Larov had no choice but to pick up his longbow again, aiming at the front, about five or six eight-legged monsters hanging down from the top of the cave.

In order to adapt to the extremely cold weather in the sky, this kind of spider has become huge, and its body surface is covered with a thick layer of down. At the same time, it is too large to weave webs, and finally becomes a frontal attack and poisonous. Strange creatures that can basically only aim for the eyes or hit the torso with a blunt weapon.

"Medium!" After Larov's arrow killed a spider, he found that the remaining spiders had been completely wiped out by Arthur, and Hadawa, who was holding a shield, had no achievements at all.

I won and he lip-synced to Hawadar and Hawadar turned his head.

"There should be quite a few more in the future. I'll go ahead." Arthur nodded at the two of them, and moved on first.

Cutting spiders so neatly, I don't know how to cut people. Laluofu followed Arthur, who somehow became the captain of this small team, and began to try to organize his words while walking.

"Stop, take it easy." After killing a few more spiders, the cave slopes upwards, and Raloff can even hear the howling wind, which proves that they are gradually approaching the surface, and when they are about to open their mouths to recruit, Arthur He squatted down suddenly, and motioned for the two men who belonged to the Empire and the Stormcloaks to stop.

The front suddenly becomes wider, and the exit is even closer. However, there is a snow bear lying on the road it must pass. It obviously regards this cave as its own den. Although it is far away, it is conservatively estimated that its length is enough twice as many people.

"Give me the bow, and you back off." Arthur took the longbow and arrow from Raloff's hand, and aimed at the bear from a distance.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Arthur fired three arrows in a row, and then he didn't look at the result of the battle at all, and rolled and hid in the hiding place of the two.

"Oh——" The snow bear's fur is very thick, and it cannot be killed with a single blow. Raloff could only hear the bear's angry roar and slammed the stone walls around it, but he couldn't find the attacker at all. .

"It's a pity." Arthur drew his bow again: "The value of such bear skins will drop."

"We don't have time for skinning," Hadvar whispered.

"Indeed, we have to tell the lord about the dragon appearing here." Arthur leaned out of the cover and shot three arrows at the bear again.

"Roar—" This time the luck was not so good, the location was discovered by Snow Bear, and it rushed over furiously with the arrows on its body.

"This is the last arrow," said Raloff. "Ready for battle, Hadvar."

"Don't command me." Hadawa raised his fur shield with one hand, and touched the mace he brought out with the other.

"No need." Arthur drew his bow and set an arrow, and flew out. The last arrow hit the Snow Bear in the eye, and it crashed down only one step away from Arthur.

"You should join the Stormcloaks/Imperial Legion!" Ralof and Hadvar said in unison, before glancing at each other.

"Well... I don't think I will go at all." After killing the snow bear, Arthur looked up into the void: "I may have other 'missions'."
