The wind blew across the star-studded farms on the vast plains, over the Genting area at the highest point of Snowman City, and poured into the halls and enchanting rooms of Longlinbao.
"San Jien? Why are you interested in this existence?" Farenjia looked at the three with a solemn expression, and he pinched the dragon stone in his palm and rubbed it.
"We seem to have met the incarnation of that guy when we were at the Imperial Mare Inn..." Avel swallowed and said with a little difficulty, "He disguised as a man named Sam Gunvari and intervened in a game. Drinking games and then taking away the winner, Golden Eye."
"We don't know what Sanjian did to Golden Eye, he's been a little bit wrong the past two days."
The mage suddenly turned to Roy, who seemed to have suffered some kind of heavy blow. His face was dull, and his originally bright pupils became dull.
In addition, a sword hilt emerged from his shoulders, and the hilt was inlaid with scarlet gems. The mage remembered very clearly that the other party did not carry this sword last time.
"I graduated from Winterhold, studying spells and various legends and anecdotes, and happened to hear about the famous name of Sanjien." The mage continued,
"A few of you know that our world is not just humans, monsters, dragons... there are other beings that are even more bizarre and powerful beyond imagination."
"Are you referring to the Nine Holy Spirits? Akatosh, the Dragon God of Time, Dibella, the God of Beauty and Freedom, Akai, the God of Reincarnation... We believe in Talos." Frien straightened his collar, his face With a hint of reverence, "There are temples and altars of the Holy Spirit set up all over Skyrim Province, and the altars can give believers a beneficial state, and their believers also have all kinds of incredible powers. This undoubtedly shows that the Holy Spirit is real. ."
"Obviously, Sanjien does not belong to the Holy Spirit..." said the mage, "but they have some similarities and can be called gods."
"Compared to the Holy Spirit, their realm and clergy sound less upright, and some even feel evil and strange...such as deceit and conspiracy, plague, madness, oath and curse...and represent indulgence and pleasure, greedy... Sanjean."
"They are called devil gods, and as far as I know there are sixteen of them." Farenjia had deep decree lines on his cheeks, and said in a serious tone, "No matter whether they are holy or devil... Since they are named gods, they are not us. An existence that ordinary people can provoke."
"Especially the devil, the Holy Spirit rarely appears in front of the world, but the devil is different. They live in different areas of annihilation, but they can appear in other worlds in the form of incarnations... Tamriel, and even other The continents of the world are all over their footprints, except that beyond Oblivion, their power will be suppressed."
"Wait, what do you mean, a Demon God ran into the Imperial Flag Mare Inn," Longyi's face turned pale, "Drinking with us? Was defeated by Golden Eye?"
"Maybe it's just having fun. The gods are not as far away as most people know, like Sanjien, also known as the bloody, hedonic, indulgent demon god, who loves to use his avatar to travel between different worlds, for himself Find some fun in an eternal, boring life, and in layman's terms, it is to play with the world." Farenjia said with a pause, "Some people believe in it, and some places have its altar."
"It's presence means danger as well as opportunity, and it has left many legends in Tamriel - it will randomly select some 'lucky ones', and then put them through a series of tests to please themselves and pass the level Then you can get special and valuable rewards, weapons, armor, or whatever."
"What if it doesn't pass?" Freen asked.
"This is not clear, there is no relevant information recorded." Farenjia sighed, looking up and down Roy, "Since Golden Eye has returned safely, it is a good thing... Are you interested in sharing your experience? What happened to Sanjeon's realm?"
"Is the weapon behind you its reward?"
"One of the sixteen demon gods, indulging the demon god San Jien?"
Can the gods of this world be realized in the present
In the world of witchers, the gods have been out of the world for a long time.
Roy took a deep breath, and his dead pupils finally regained a somewhat vivid look, "Such a magical existence, just to have fun, take me to that kind of place? Let me burst a beautiful bubble with my own hands?"
He inexplicably thought of a similar existence in another world—Master Mirror.
He can't tell the difference now, are the dreamy and beautiful girl and Hongshan Town real
No, the ruins he witnessed must be the remains of Hongshan Town.
And Xuerui was behind him.
But what happened in it, the townspeople scolded the girl and killed her mother, is it real history, or is it a tormenting drama concocted by San Jien
If everything is true, wouldn't he end Xuerui's peaceful life with his own hands
…
The witcher glanced at the three people who were eagerly looking forward to it. After repeatedly entangled, he used Avel's mouth to tell all the experiences.
In the enchanting room, under the bright lights, the expressions of several audience members became very exciting.
Amazement, envy, disbelief, to a sigh.
"So, Xue Rui died in that fire long ago? But Sanjian used its power to save her and build her ideal kingdom?" Frien asked, "What does it do for it? Purpose?"
"Maybe it's just doing an experiment. Human beings are to demon gods as ants are to humans." A trace of sadness flashed in Farenjia's eyes, "But anyway, it did help Xuerui. It After resuscitating Xuerui and raising her in captivity, she built a perfect 'house' for her, and regarded it as a bird in a cage as an observation object, just to take a look once in a while. It happened that Golden Eye was put into this game by San Jien, And Hongshan Town is regarded as a playground by it.”
"But what happened to those people in Hongshan Town?" Avil asked.
"If I had to say that they had already been purged by San Jien," Freen said in a deep voice, "but that was what they deserved, to abuse an innocent girl so cruelly, what right do they have to ask others to treat them? Kindness, let alone a demon."
"It's just a pity that Xuerui is as pure, kind, and beautiful as a princess in a fairy tale world." Avel shook his head, his eyes moved, as if he had thought of someone, "And our world only hurts her. "
"Golden Eyes, I can probably understand your feelings." Freen patted Roy on the shoulder and comforted, "But I don't think you need to blame yourself, you just helped her realize her wish."
"She has long been tired of the same cookie-cutter Hongshan Town, the virtual ideal world. Otherwise... her first wish would not have let go of the butterfly in the cage. Obviously, her heart has been longing for change."
"And you released her, understand."
"Also, you fulfilled your promise." The dragonborn's brown eyes swept behind the witcher. "You always took her with you, and you didn't leave her behind."
…
Roy glanced at Freen with a complicated look on his face. He didn't expect this rough and simple guy to have such delicate feelings.
With his arms over his shoulders, he grasped the hilt of the sword, pulled out the exquisite long sword, and held it in front of several people.
Xue Rui
(This sword was forged at random by the demon god Sanjeon.)
Type: Ebony Sword
Materials: Ruby, Cave Bear Hide, Ebony Ingot, Soul.
Features: 3.06 pounds, 9 inches (0.23 m) hilt, 35 inches (0.88 m) body,
Enchanting—
Guard: When holding this sword, Xuerui will guard by your side, fight side by side with you, and increase your all attributes by 10% (not higher than 20).
And improve any one of your skills (no more than lv4), or an existing enchantment of Arrondite (no more than 2 enhancements).
Soul Stone is 100% charged, and it is gradually deducted during use.
…
"Powerful and unique enchantment..." Farenga praised, "The chief enchanter of Cyrodiil can't be so perfect."
"Why did Xuerui turn into this sword in the end? How does the mortal body turn into steel?" Avel asked in surprise, "What is the principle?"
"I can only think of one possibility..." Farenga said, "Each use of an enchanted weapon consumes soul energy, and this sword is powered by Xuerui's soul."
"Do you know what this means? Every time you swing your sword, that girl's soul is consumed by one point." Farenja looked at the witcher.
"Golden Eye, do you want to have a powerful weapon, or treat it as a collection that can only be viewed but not used, so that Xuerui's soul can be preserved?"
There was a long silence in the enchanting chamber.
Roy stared at the rune on the blade.
The total time he spent with Xuerui was so short, it would be unrealistic to say that he fell in love with her at first sight, not even love.
But he had to admit that in the never-falling sunset in Hongshan Town, this girl brought him unspeakable warmth and shock.
She is like a spotless and exquisite work of art.
A little sister who can't help but care and love.
"If I destroy this sword..." Roy took a deep breath and said solemnly, "So can Xuerui's soul be free, and where will it go?"
Avery conveyed on his behalf.
Farenga thought for a while,
"Nords must die heroically on the battlefield before their souls can go to Songard..."
"The lycanthrope is only eligible to go to the hunting grounds of Hircine after he dies."
"Mora's library is for those who have a thirst for knowledge."
"The Holy Spirit and Demon Gods are extremely picky when they harvest souls."
"There is only Akai, the Holy Spirit who pushes the wheel of life. It does not pick. Many people will be reincarnated in Tamriel and other continents through its hands after death."
"You mean, Xu Rui has a chance to be reincarnated?"
"Not necessarily. When Xue Rui was about to be burned to death, she once opened her heart to San Jien. Her soul has already been branded as a demon, and even if you destroy this long sword, she will most likely return to San Jien. In the hand, it becomes its toy again."
"If it wasn't for this sword, maybe it would infuse the next sword into a reward for the next game...and then be depleted, so I don't recommend it."
"You need to buy a house!" Freen put his hands on Roy's shoulders and said emotionally, "Use her to decorate your home! She will always accompany you in the home and guard you."
…
The slender and powerful palm gently caressed the smooth blade like autumn water, and the skin on the back of Roy's hand had goose bumps, as if something was communicating with him softly through the blade.
Suddenly, a little girl with blond hair and blue eyes, a ponytail draped over her shoulders, and a yellow floral dress appeared in front of him, smiling sweetly, turning her body and showing her dancing posture.
"breathe…"
Roy was holding the long sword thoughtfully.
Freen and Avel looked at each other,
"Your Excellency the Mage, has Longshi researched something famous?"
"Still reading."
"Then let's accompany Golden Eye back to the inn first, and then we will visit after solving the problem."
…
The guest room on the second floor of the imperial flag mare.
Simple and simple bed.
Roy's mind sank into the template.
Bound weapons—
Silver sword Arrondette, steel sword Guvihir, you have yet to use one enhancement.
Check that you have two additional enchanted weapons - the Ancient Nord Frost Axe, the Ebony Sword Xue Rui, and a soul that trusts you.
You have the following two options-
1. Devour the ancient Nord Frost Axe, expand the enchantment position of the bound weapon, and obtain a new enchantment - Frost Invasion: Every time you hit an opponent, there will be a small probability of causing frost damage, slowing down its speed and response.
2. Consume pure soul (experience) 3000, magic value 300, fuse the ebony sword Xuerui, create a special space enough to accommodate the soul weapon, your bound weapon will be injected into the soul and become more "spiritual".
And get the soul feature - guardian: when holding the sword, Xuerui will fight side by side with you, increase your all attributes by 10% (not higher than 20), and enhance any skill of the holder (not higher than lv4) , or a weapon enchantment (no more than 2 enhancements), which can be switched once a day.
Note: After each upgrade of the weapon to be strengthened, the spirituality of the weapon will grow synchronously, but it needs to consume additional pure soul.
…
A strong surprise surged in Roy's heart. He couldn't remember how long ago he had imagined that when the bound weapon has been strengthened and grown, will spirituality be born one day in the future
Unexpectedly, it has been implemented in such an alternative way.
Infuse the soul.
Undoubtedly, it refers to the transfer of Xuerui's soul in the ebony sword to his bound weapon, to become his partner who grows together and is inseparable.
"But what will Xuerui think, is she willing? Maybe she can find another way to revive her in the future, or live in another way."
"Once integrated into Arrondette—"
"Buzz..."
The ebony sword in his hand suddenly trembled.
convey a special meaning.
Don't give up
Yes, in Hongshan Town, I made a promise that I would not leave you.
But are you really willing to stay by my side and experience the infinite world with me
buzzing...
as you wish.
Ten fingers gently stroked the ridge of the ebony sword, and his mind moved.
Swah—
EXP 3500→500
Two long swords appeared on his left and right.
One is straight and smooth, the sword grid is engraved with exquisite patterns, the center of the sword is replaced by a raised sword ridge, and the sword body forms an acute isosceles triangle.
The whole body is dark red, as if it has been soaked in blood for decades. It does not have a delicate and gorgeous appearance like the ancient Weisher. Deep meaning.
Steel Sword Guvisher
(Consumed Ancient Nord Frost Axe)
Enchanting—
Cycle, Ignite, Thrash, Teleport (Enhanced), Overpower (Enhanced), Gluttony (Enhanced), Cold Attack (New)
silver sword arondite
(Fusion Ebony Sword)
Soul Trait - Guardian (not chosen)
Enchanting—
Destruction, Mizusawa, Call of Water, Teleportation (Enhanced), Suppression (Enhanced), Gluttony (Enhanced).
…
Roy stroked the steel sword with his palm, and then gently held Arrondette. In an instant, a warmth poured into his palm through the hilt of the sword and flowed all over his limbs.
It was as if someone was hugging him softly behind him, supporting him, and at the same time shaking his spirits.
Strength: 15→16.5
Agility: 15.5→17
Perception: 12→13.2
Charisma: 9→9.9
Ten percent, if it is only a single attribute, then the increase is extremely limited.
But it strengthens the four attributes except the will, constitution, and spirit that exceed 20 points. The improvement cannot be ignored, and with the progress of spirituality, the limit of 20 points will eventually be broken.
What's more, there is also the ability to improve one's own skills, or weapon enchantment.
Gluttony (Enhanced)
Sure!
Gluttony (2 boosts)
The blade was shrouded in white light, and after a while, a seventh rune appeared at the tail of the six star-shaped runes, and the shape became closer to the Serpent of Ouroboros.
As Roy's strongest offensive ability so far, gluttony has been strengthened to the present point. He believes that the blood-colored sword energy is enough to break through the scales of the dragon and give it a heavy blow!
Of course, he can also switch guardians at will, strengthen enchantments other than gluttony, and even skills such as longsword specialization, crossbow specialization, witcher's seal, witcher's senses, etc. below level 4. There is no doubt that as spiritual growth occurs, ascension limits also weaken.
This soul characteristic is more powerful than he imagined. The only difficulty is that his demand for experience points has become higher. In addition to upgrading, improving the spirituality of weapons is also a big consumer of experience.
Roy shook his wrist and danced a sword flower swiftly. He bowed his back and bent his knees and swayed a few swords in a steady and continuous manner, imitating the way of attack in this world. In the hissing sound of breaking through the air, dazzling rays of light stroked. half empty.
In addition to the tacit understanding of the arm, Arundette became like a living creature, constantly correcting the witcher's extremely subtle movements, making every move and every style more suitable for his body.
The dark blade drew a wonderful half-moon, and the ridge of the sword vibrated and hummed like the wings of a cicada.
In a trance, a seemingly non-existent voice sounded in his ear.
"Xue Rui?"
"I promised that I would not leave you alone. From now on, we will adventure together, and I will show you more wonderful worlds and unique scenery!"
"Ah, ah, ah-"
A series of faint silver bell-like laughter sounded in his ears.
He showed a relieved smile, took out the sword oil and rag, and began to do maintenance work for Arrondette gently and meticulously.
From now on, if it is not necessary, he will not put the sword into the space again.
