The Collection of The End

——4E, 201, Last Seed Moon, 28th, 7:00——

In the early morning with light mist, at the foot of the Hrothgar peak, a half-old double-wheeled carriage creaked out of Ivarstead and headed north. Its double horses were black and white, and the white Although the horse was tall, it flinched inexplicably and couldn't take a step forward. The smaller black horse next to it impatiently kicked and bit it from time to time.

"Haha! 'Empress Elphicia' try harder! Hit that cowardly and stupid horse!" Farkas, who was sitting in the driver's seat, laughed.

"As timid as a mouse? Isn't it because there are six wolves behind it?" Arthur, who was sitting next to him, tried hard to control the carriage.

"What six horses, it's obviously four horses," Ella answered from behind, "You're a dragon, and I'm not a wolf—who has an opinion?!"

"Okay, okay, you're not." Cisco month touched his bald head and replied, while Wells and Wilkas glanced at each other and spread their hands helplessly.

Because these members of the comrades-in-arms group were seriously injured in the battle with the vampire lord, although the appearance of the human figure looks the same, if they become werewolves, the injuries that have not fully recovered will reappear, and finally they have to rest for a night Take the carriage back to Xueman.

"Speaking of which, the guy with the sable hilt is really relieved to let her come out to pull the cart. The original owner must have given him enough money to buy this horse." Ella said while looking at the black horse.

"I don't like black horses very much, but this girl looks good, and she's not afraid of us. It's only a thousand gold coins. I can buy her when I go back," Farkas nodded in agreement: "But the original name is too Silly, what about Empress Elga, how about changing the name to 'Ariel' after buying it?"

"I don't think so!" Arthur inexplicably felt that his forehead was being aimed at by a sniper gun, and hurriedly spoke to stop Farkas... But what is a sniper gun?

"'Queen Elphsica' is our snowman's horse, but this carriage and that white horse came from Loristed, and in the end they were left in Ivarstead together, obviously without a coachman, but clearly stated What do you think is the reason for only accepting customers who return to Loristed?" Wilkas's observation was obviously more detailed.

"Uh, it means that even if we don't drive, they will pull the car back by themselves? Isn't that very convenient?" Farkas scratched his head.

"It proves that someone traveled thousands of miles from the empire's sphere of influence through Snowrun to enter the area controlled by Stormcloak, and used relatively gentle means to cover up their tracks." Wells tapped his shield: "It is likely that it was yesterday. Criticize the mage."

"But what is the purpose?" Farkas still looked confused.

"Oh, of course it is to investigate Xueman's reality. Since Lord Balgruuf declared neutrality and blocked the central part of Skyrim Province, the Empire and Stormcloak can only fight on the northern and southern lines. Both sides want to pull Xueman away. Enter your own camp, or completely conquer." Wilkas sighed.

"Hey, we don't care if they beat each other's heads away. After all, the comrade-in-arms group will not participate in any wars, but if they want to attack Xueman, which is protected by the comrade-in-arms group, they have to taste the taste of fangs and claws." Ella Looks eager to try.

"It's the blade and the arrow..." Wells was very helpless: "We can't turn into werewolves in broad daylight to expose ourselves."

"Actually, the lord probably knew about it a long time ago, otherwise how would he have the confidence to declare neutrality?" Si Keyue seemed to say very casually, but the meaning in the words made everyone quiet down.

——8:00——

"By the way, how far did you take me when I was unconscious?" Arthur asked while looking at the tumbling river under his feet when he temporarily stopped to rest on a high slope.

The Tewari River, surging northwards, runs parallel to the road for the time being, but soon it will turn eastward and finally join the White River, now on the horizon, and near the confluence is a small point,

Although I couldn't see it clearly, it must have been completely in ruins.

"It's as far away as you can see," Farkas said nonchalantly. "Although there are sawmills and scattered farms and hunter's lodges on the road, there is no place for us to recuperate."

"Yeah." Arthur nodded.

It is inappropriate to say thank you or reassure at this time, and anyone present in that situation would have made the same choice, because they are the most senior members of the group of comrades - "the circle".

...How ugly is this name?

"Boom!" Farther down the slope, a stone fortress on the side of the road suddenly burst into flames, and the members of the comrades who were resting took up their weapons vigilantly.

"That's...Amor Castle," Wilkas quickly identified the castle, "it's a bridgehead for Stormcloak, but it doesn't have much garrison due to its lack of strategic value, and it's usually used by travelers as supplies Stations and exchanges, as long as you don’t wear imperial legion uniforms, you can enter and exit freely, why are such places attacked?”

"Then what are you waiting for! Go help?" Farkas jumped into the carriage and pulled the reins.

"Wait," Cisco Yue grabbed his arm, "If the Imperial Legion and Stormcloak fight, who are you going to help?"

"Uh... both sides fight together?" Farkas replied subconsciously, obviously thinking that both sides were not doing well.

"We don't participate in the battles of the Empire and Stormcloaks in principle, but apart from that, they are also guards who maintain order in their respective occupied areas. If they are attacked, they can assist them without revealing their identities." Wilka Si made a conclusion, and then looked at Ella: "Can you hear who they are?"

Even the sound of the explosion is not clear at such a distance... Arthur looked at Ella and found a pair of furry ears protruding from her head, and her eyes became very bright. This appearance should have been very cute, but was rejected The six slanted and criss-crossed dark red lines on her face were completely destroyed—God knows why she just drew pictures for herself when she had nothing to do.

"Well...the attackers are a group of mages, not soldiers of the Imperial Legion." Ayla said without blinking her eyes.

"The group of mages yesterday?" Wells frowned.

"It's not..." Ella's ears trembled: "They were yelling, 'You put us in the prison in the north, and you never thought that 'the lord' would give us the power to escape, hahaha'. "

This unrestrained "hahaha" sounds extremely awkward.

"Well, it turns out they are heretics. There's nothing to say about that. Everyone, get in the carriage and go exterminate them." Wilkas shook his head and jumped into the carriage first.

Arthur had also heard about "heretics". As he climbed into the car, he thought, this term is not a term of contempt among believers who believe in different holy spirits, and even evil mages who believe in certain demon gods are not suitable for this term. What they believe in is something that "doesn't exist at all", but they gain power by accident.

Currently the most famous heretics in Skyrim are a group of witches known as the "Raven Hags", who believe in the "female version of Hircine", but it is well known that the most commonly used image of Hircine, the god of hunting and lycanthropy, is the A bird and beast with deer antlers, and the only human form is a strong male with a deer skull. As a result, these witches inexplicably endowed a plump female image with a deer skull, and they were all turned into The arms are wings, the legs are eagle claws, but the body is still a "crow hag". As a result, this image is regarded as a gift by these crow hags.

Because it was going downhill, Arthur's distracted kung fu carriage had already rushed to the gate of the fortress, and the sounds of sword clashes and magic explosions from both sides could be clearly heard.

"Traveler! Leave immediately! We can handle this matter!" The location of the attack was the back door, and the only guard at the main door waved his hands vigorously to let the members of the comrades-in-arms group leave.

"Don't want to affect civilians? These soldiers are not bad." Cisco month whispered.

"Hey! That can't be done!" Farkas jumped out of the carriage, picked up his two-handed sword and shouted at the guard: "We received free entertainment here when we passed by before, and this attack on the way back is just a repayment when!"

"...Well, if you have any losses, you can come to us and ask for compensation after the matter is over." The soldier stepped aside.

Therefore, it is difficult to find out when honest people are deceiving people. Farkas only listened to Wilkas' brief introduction, and he dared to call out directly after hearing about free entertainment. As a result, the other party really did this, Arthur jumped Get out of the car and rush into the fort with your companions.

"When we usually go out to complete the commission, we will get free hospitality when we encounter a fortress garrisoned by soldiers?" Farkas replied confidently when asked.

Well, the privilege of the comrades-in-arms, Arthur sideways dodges a flying ice pick.

At this time, those pagan mages had completely invaded the fortress. They looked ragged, but their eyes were shining yellow, and they laughed sickly and released attack spells one by one, but there were no ordinary mages at all when facing melee enemies. Normal reactions, such as propping up a magic shield, or releasing ice spells to slow down enemies.

"Looks like something slipped through the net that night." Ayla frowned slightly, and with her bow and arrow, she hit a mage's throat directly, and as expected, no blood spattered out.

"The power is soaring, but the mind is confused. It is reasonable to say that if a vampire is only hunting, it is impossible to cause transformation. The only possibility is that the escaped vampire has lost control of itself." Wilkas swung his sword and pierced another vampire. The heart of the mage.

"It's not surprising. After working in Cuiwa Watchtower for so long, it would be strange if there were no loyal family members. The problem lies in the guy who escaped. He knows where we come from and is likely to retaliate." Si Keyue knocked down a A vampire mage slashed its neck with a sword.

"Then we have to catch him as soon as possible, or rush back as soon as possible." Arthur, who suddenly lost his enemy, put away his sword and scanned the battlefield.

The number of vampire mages and stormcloak guards who attacked originally was equal, beating them in a hurry, but after joining the comrades group, it became one-sided directly. Except for those who were killed on the spot, the rest of the mages were controlled. Perhaps they also planned to Torture information, but it is obviously impossible to gain anything.

"Thank you for your help, I don't know how to call it?" A stormcloak soldier who looked like the captain came over, and his question stunned everyone.

Although the reason for joining the war was to exterminate the heretics, the Imperial Legion would not think so. They would believe that the Comrades in Arms assisted the Stormcloaks, so Xueman's situation would be very embarrassing. arouse suspicion.

"We are [Knights of the Round Table]," Arthur seemed to have a flash of light in his mind, and then replied without hesitation: "I am Artoria, this lady is Drizzt, and Garius, Garius Three brothers Hollis and Gawain, and he is my brother Kay."

The members of the "Circle" were shocked by Arthur's ability to directly make up names, but they couldn't tell from the outside at all. The Stormcloak soldier didn't doubt it either, but his face was a bit unkind.

"The title 'Knight' came from Cyrodiil, right? I advise you not to believe the propaganda of the empire. We are fighting for our beliefs. The enemy is those Thalmor elves, not some rebels," he said. He took out a spell book and handed it to Arthur: "That Ms. Drizzt seems to use a bow and arrow. This magic may help her—the fortress is a bit chaotic now, so I won't keep you guys."

After successfully leaving the fort and getting into the carriage, the members of the comrades-in-arms began to punch Arthur and complained that their "code name" was not good.

"You guys are content, I haven't sent out the names 'Merlin', 'Lancelot', 'Galahad' and 'Mordred' yet." Arthur, who didn't know how to explain, said haha drive.
