My name is Akatosh,

It's been a lot of chaos these two days.

"let me go--"

"...Xiao Fan was caught and was floating in the air at a height of about three meters."

"Is this the time for analysis? Think of a way!"

Not long ago, Xiaofan and Amir chased Mercer Frey and arrived in Solitary City, but the "hand of the demons" was still pointing firmly to the west. Amir proposed to go directly to the city, but Xiaofan relied on the experience of the last operation Insist on continuing to follow the instructions of the hand of the demons.

After that, the two walked around the snow-capped mountains west of Dugu City for nearly a day according to the direction of their fingers, but they didn't find any hidden caves like last time.

After making marks along the way and recording the path on the map, Xiaofan found out that they were being led around the word "8" by the hands of the demons.

After confirming that the hand of the demons was malfunctioning, Xiaofan was about to ignore its instructions and go directly to Solitary City, but was "grabbed" by that hand.

The "Devil's Hand", which is only a little larger than the palm of an ordinary person, naturally cannot catch people directly by its own power - Xiaofan is suspended in the air two or three meters high, and it is at a higher place Keep a posture of carrying something and move in sync with her.

Xiao Fan didn't feel being grabbed by any force, but felt that the leather armor of the guild master on her body was flying towards the sky, which lifted her up. Since the situation was not urgent and there was no danger at a height of two or three meters, she For the time being, I have no idea of ​​cutting off my clothes and escaping.

"Can you attack that hand? Try destroying it?" Xiaofan called to Amir who was following him all the time.

"...can't attack, it was given by Sister Jeanne." The girl looked up at the hand, and then replied.

Can't attack, but there is no need to delve into the question of whether the attack is invalid or she doesn't want to attack. Xiaofan hangs down his limbs weakly and remains silent.

After a while, Xiao Fan was grabbed by the hands of the demons, and approached the intersection point in the middle of the "8" circle in the air. The surrounding scenery was the same as before, and there were no hidden ruins or caves at the entrance.

Just when she thought she would continue to be carried around in circles, the hand of the demon clan sank slightly as if it was gathering strength, and then flew straight into the sky with the small bag.

"So we can't find the place because the destination is in the sky?! Emir quickly—" Xiaofan exclaimed for a while and then interrupted himself, because Amir also flew straight up.

"...Wow." Although it is currently late at night and it is hard to see clearly, the perspective overlooking the entire Skyrim Province from a high altitude still made Emil slightly amazed.

So why should I be carried... Xiaofan glanced resentfully at the demon's hand above her head.

"【Sorry for treating you like this, Xiaofan】" As if hearing the complaint in Xiaofan's heart, a soft, slightly echoing female voice rang in her ears: "【Because I can't catch your friend.】"

"Then let me stand and take off together!" Xiaofan replied directly.

"[I'll pay attention next time]" the female voice didn't mean anything unpleasant to Xiaofan's complaints,

Now there is no doubt. It is not that the hand of the demons has malfunctioned, but that it has been "taken over" by "others". How can a mere hand of the "demons" resist the requisition of the "devil god"?

Hearing the demon god speak in a female voice, Xiaofan's heart has been half relieved, because those violent, cunning and dangerous demon gods basically appear with male or androgynous appearance and voice, and among the demon gods with female appearance, more than Half of them are not considered evil, such as Ms. [Nocturnal] believed by the Thieves Guild and Ms. [Azura] who have been in contact with each other—well, as long as they don’t offend them.

At a height where Hammerfell and Cyrodiil can be seen almost across the mountains,

The "Hand of the Demon Race" stopped, and a platform made of faint white light emerged in midair, and Xiaofan and Amir slowly landed on it.

"【I'm Meridia (Meridia), I hope you can do me a favor】" The demon god's next words made Xiaofan put the other half of his heart back. Meridia is the god of life and vitality, and advocates death The creatures should be attributed to the natural cycle, so they are extremely hostile to undead creatures, and have never killed the living.

"I'm willing to help you, ma'am." Xiaofan lowered her head slightly.

Amir didn't answer, she stepped on the ground a few times, and after confirming the material of the platform of light, she started to look for something in circles.

Hum——

A faint beep sounded, and a huge, shining female figure appeared on the side of the platform. She had short blond hair, green eyes, an alfalfa wreath on her head, and a dress that was tailored to make it easier to move. , white robes decorated with many grass leaves, holding a golden round-headed long staff in one hand, and holding the platform of light on which they stand on the other hand, and six huge golden wings of light stretched out from behind.

I was probably the first person to see the real face of this demon god, but unfortunately the size gap is too big to tell what his appearance and temperament are... Xiao Fan thought blankly.

"...I am willing to help you." Amir tilted his head and stared at Meridia for a while before answering.

If the appearance of the demon god is not good-looking, why is this girl still planning to refuse? Xiao Fan glanced sideways.

"[My temple 'Kilkerris' became a battlefield many years ago. The two sides fought fiercely. In the end, no one survived. Out of pity for them, I completely closed the temple and buried it in a deep place. Deep underground.]" After receiving Emil's response, Meridia continued.

"[Not long ago, 'Queen of the Wolf Heart' Potema was summoned back from oblivion by her worshipers. Although the summoning ceremony was interrupted and destroyed, her soul took the opportunity to sneak into my temple, and now there are all Wandering undead creatures, I need you to let them regain their peace.]" Although Meridia was speaking, the huge female figure didn't move her mouth at all, she just rolled her eyes and glanced at Amir.

"[I can't purify the temple with my own hands,]" Before Xiaofan could speak, Meridia explained as if predicting: "[The temple has been desecrated by the power from the 'Soul Stone Tomb', if I try to 'purify 'It, the overflowing twisted life energy will make all the living in Skyrim unable to die - they will become undead at the moment of death.]”

The so-called detoxification grass must be near the poisonous snake's lair... The demon god who hates undead creatures the most is also quite good at making undead creatures. Xiaofan nodded to express his understanding, and then asked: "Then, what should we do?"

"[I will send you to the entrance of the temple, just use your skills to eliminate 'Potema' and the commander of that army 'Mokran', and reach the deepest point, then I will You can intervene.] " Following the voice of the demon god, the small platform of light began to glow, and in the next moment, Xiaofan and Amir appeared in an underground ruins filled with black mist.

——12th, 4:50——

Generally speaking, human beings will not take the initiative to build altars and temples for demon gods. Even if they have to do it out of fear and coercion, the scale is relatively small, and it is completely inferior to the temple of the real holy spirit. However, 【Meridia】 But it seems to be an exception.

His "Temple of Kirkris" is comparable in scale to the Temple of the Holy Spirit in Solitude. Not only are there many rooms, but it is even layered up and down. The round white stones as big as heads converged and refracted, illuminating all the rooms that the two girls had cleaned up one by one.

The undead creatures wandering in these rooms are common skeletons and ghouls, but they are strangely dark all over, and there is no blue fire in their eyes that symbolizes the vitality of undead creatures. After being defeated, they are directly absorbed by the black mist everywhere. disappear.

In this way, although it is possible to sneak all the way and only defeat the culprit to complete the task according to Meridia's instructions, but after clearing the first room at the entrance, the ray of light that can completely eliminate the uncomfortable black mist in the ruins After the injection, the next course of action has been decided.

Cleaning up the dark undead creatures all the way, activating the white stone to clear the black mist, the two girls finally arrived at the hall where the altar was built in the deepest part of the temple. It disappeared, and in the hall full of bones, there were two tall ghouls standing side by side, one holding a dagger with an ominous black light in its hand, while the other was holding a staff that was constantly emitting black smoke , at the moment the door opened, he spoke to the girls at the entrance at the same time.

"Hehehe—little girl of the Septim family, I said we would meet again—" "Oh~ the blood of the Leiter family, just as I plan to change my body, even a little girl can accept it~"

Septim? Royal Princess Emilia Septim? Xiaofan turned his head to look at Amir, but found that Amir was also looking at him, and then belatedly remembered that his surname "Leite" was a well-known veteran nobleman in Windhelm City—although there is no one in that family now. up.

One per person, and the other things will be discussed after the end? Little trouble do lip-synch.

Amir nodded, and the figure disappeared instantly.

"Hahaha! It's useless! Those guys you 'killed' before have remembered your taste~" Holding the staff, the female ghoul, who should be the wolf heart queen Potema, swung the staff suddenly, Many pitch-black skeletons and ghouls emerged from the black mist, and then all stared at the position where Amir was sneaking.

"Don't worry~ My offspring, this 'Life Destroyer' only needs to be scratched a little to deprive living creatures of their lives, and your beauty will not be damaged in any way—" The other side should be called Mokran Leiter , the male ghoul in heavy armor also rushed towards Xiao Fan with a sword.
