‘!!’
'Who are you……'
‘You are Serana?!’
‘Wait! You…how did you become like this? And, where is Anne? Where is she?!’
'I have no idea……'
‘Maybe, she went back to the sun…’
'sun?'
'What's the meaning?'
‘That’s what I mean, maybe she went home, but who knows? However, this is the first time I have felt the warmth in so many years…’
'very nice……'
Early the next morning, when the hangover dawn guards and the Nords woke up from their sleep, Anne was no longer in the dawn guard castle.
No one knows where she went, it's like no one knows where she came from
Anyway, when Eshiran and others came to her room, they saw only a female vampire standing in front of the windowsill where the morning light was shining, with an incredible face. While enjoying the sunlight, they kept stroking the skin of her hands like jade-casting skin, and her eyes and body were not still emitting strong holy light.
Of course, now she can no longer be called a female vampire!
She is now, perhaps in a sense, the glorious daughter of the Dawn Guardian and the Church of the Holy Light, the incarnation of the Holy Light, and the favored by the Holy Light, Serana Light Forged?
However, what should be called, or how to package it well, so that its existence is most conducive to the guard of the dawn and the spread of the Holy Light Church, which is the issue that Ezran and others need to consider slowly in the future.
Annie must have no way to deal with that kind of thing, and she doesn't want to worry about it anymore!
Because, she felt that it would be meaningless to stay in Dawn Guard Castle, and she felt that those guys no longer needed her and there was nothing particularly fun in the castle, she once again began her journey in Skyrim Province, leaving only unsolvable mysteries and legends for those who were guarding Dawn such as Esran.
At this time, when Esran and others were still inexplicably surprised by Serana's changes, she had already run from a teleportation south of Rift Valley City to the winter fort on the northernmost coast of the northeast corner of Skyrim Province!
Of course, if you want to be more precise, you should have already arrived at the Winter Castle Academy?
For Anne, who was originally a mage and was able to use spells freely from the age of two and captured an evil shadow bear from the fossil forest of trees alive, since she has come to this world, if she cannot come to the "famous" of Winter Castle Academy and has been seen by the Magic Academy many times, she will definitely be very regretful!
(…)
(°??°〃)
"Teebos..."
???????????????????????
"It should be here, right?"
(????????????????)??~
Looking at the huge castle located on the reefs in the northern sea of ​​Winter Fortress and radiating with the power of strong elements, Anne could know without guessing that she must have come to the wrong place.
(have no idea……)
(lll￢??￢)
(Tibers hasn't come to Winter Castle, and he doesn't know if the broken castle in front is Winter Castle Academy. It just suddenly doesn't want to talk to a bad little master. It just wants to Jingjing, although it doesn't know who Jingjing is, and why people often think of her...)
'Hello!'
‘Little guy! You’re still running outside with such a heavy storm?’
‘??’
‘Hey! I just ignored me, whose little girl is she?’
'I have no idea……'
‘!!’
'She seems to be going to the academy? Hey! Wait! Little guy, no idlers are allowed to approach there, come back soon!'
‘Hey! Stop!’
‘Okay OK!’
‘Forget it, man, don’t chase after it. The snow is so heavy now. There are still mages from the academy guarding the bridge. She definitely can’t get in. If you have any questions, please wait until she comes back.’
'this……'
‘Well, maybe you are right.’
‘Come on, keep on roasting the fire!’
‘…’
Seeing someone wearing a gorgeous blue and white snow skirt and trotting in the snow, she didn't look like a child from a poor family, and jumped to the Winter Fort Academy. A Winter Fort guard who was wearing a gorgeous blue and white snow skirt under the eaves shouted responsibly.
However, when he walked out of the eaves two steps and when his companions made a sound to stop him, he felt that there was no benefit in doing so, so he quickly shrank back and continued to keep warming the brazier under the eaves in the howling wind and snow and cold wind.
“…”
(????????)
"That's right! It must be here!!"
o(??▽ｍ)o=3=3=3
He looked up at the stone bridge in front of him, and felt that he had definitely not been wrong. In the snowy town in front of the college, he ignored the guards hiding by the eaves and some townsmen who stretched their heads out of the window to check, and ran directly towards the castle stairs at the end of the town.
She just wanted to come to the so-called largest and only magic academy in the Sky, the so-called Skywest Province, to see it, so she didn't want to deal with the guards, because that was too troublesome...
(…)
(●￣(??)￣●)
"Who is it?"
"Wait! Stop!!"
“Hmm?!”
"So it's a little guy... Whose child are you? Why did you come here? Go back! Go back quickly! This place is very dangerous, it's not a place for children like you to play. If you fall off the bridge, I won't care about you!"
When Anne had just run onto the bridge of Winter Castle Academy and was about to walk from the pier-like passage along the rock pontoon bridge hanging high on the cliff of the ice sea to the castle of Winter Castle Academy built on a huge stone pillar, she was stopped by a middle-aged Nord woman.
“Eh?”
∑(??△)?!
"Who are you? Why don't you let others in?"
(??????????????)???????????????
Anne didn't know this Obasan, and she didn't want to know her, because she just wanted to go in and take a good look at the Winter Castle Academy.
"Ha! You asked me first?"
"Then listen: I am a magician from Winter Castle Academy, and I am currently responsible for testing the qualifications of those who enter the Academy..."
"So, little guy, go back!"
"This is really not a place for children like you to come to play. This bridge is very dangerous and the gate will not be opened for children like you, so you can't go in!"
"Okay! I'm being talked about nonsense, go back soon!!"
After explaining patiently, the woman who claimed to be a magician of the Winter Castle Academy drove Annie impatiently, because in her opinion, this curious little girl was just here to make trouble. If the other party accidentally fell from the bridge and fell to death and drowned, then it might be another big and small trouble?
"But……"
(????v??v??v???)
"Isn't this place called Winter Castle Academy? They are here to learn magic, so why don't they go in?!"
(??????????????)???????????????
Anne originally wanted to say that she was here to play, but considering that the other party would definitely not let her go in, she hesitated for a while, and at about a few seconds, she quickly changed her words and explained the more justified reason for coming here.
"Learn magic? You are the only one?!"
"All right……"
"It seems you're the same as those guys who have been here recently?"
"Yes, it's indeed a safe haven for Winter Castle Academy, Skyrim Province to learn and use spells, a place full of wisdom and arcane knowledge..."
"Believe me, little guy, it's too early for you to learn magic now. I don't think you're suitable for coming here because magic is dangerous!"
After looking up and down at Anne, the woman who was blocking the not-so-wide bridge hole smiled and shook her head. Because she didn't think that the little girl was qualified to enter or was qualified to enter. After all, the other party was too young and might not have read all the words, so how could she learn profound and complex magic knowledge?
"Not early at all!"
o(??^')o
"Anyway, they just want to go in!"
s(????vev???)ゞ
After saying that, Annie raised her legs and walked forward, intending to bypass the other party, and then directly walked to the bridge behind the other party.
"etc!"
"All right……"
"Little guy, I don't have to stop you, but if you want to get in, you must pass my assessment, because Winter Castle Academy only recruits students with a certain magic base!"
"Don't worry, a small test..."
"If you want, you can go in and become a member of the academy if you pass the test. In the future, I or others may not stop you!"
After finding that the little girl was a little difficult and not easy to beat and scold the other party, the female mage finally compromised after stopping the other party again and preparing to follow the process, so that the other party could give up completely?
"test?"
∑(??△)?!
"Test it's test!"
o(*'　ー??)o
"Then tell me now, what kind of test is it? Anyway, they have very strong mana, super strong ones, no matter what test you test, they are not afraid of it!"
o('^??)o Humph!
If I hadn't wanted to go to this Winter Castle Academy openly and have fun, Annie would have sneaked in or forced herself to break through, so how could she talk to the other party for so long?
“Um…”
"Then let's do magic light!"
"This little spell is useful to any magician. If you can cast it to me, I'll let you in. How about it, will you?"
She shrugged, and the woman didn't seem to want to make things too difficult for a little girl, so she spoke out a simple trick that might be similar to all the mage apprentices in Skyrim.
Moreover, that little trick is also very important to the mages of the Winter Castle Academy. They must learn it. It would be normal for her to use that spell to evaluate it.
“…”
(??????????????)???????????????
"What 'magic light technique' does not mean that kind of messy magic!"
(lll￢▽￢)
Maybe Anne will definitely have many kinds of spells with similar effects, but this is the first time she has heard that kind of "magic light technique", and she really doesn't know it!
"Won't?"
"Ha! I know you certainly won't!"
"It doesn't matter if you think you can learn it... I'm happy to sell the scroll with the magic of "magic light" at a low price for thirty gold coins. Of course, you can also go and buy it with someone else. As long as you learn that spell and cast it, I will recognize your qualification to enter here, and then you can come here to find me at any time."
The woman who felt that the other party could not do it and could not be rich shrugged, and looked at Little Annie with a joking look and said jokingly.
Recently, the days at Winter Castle Academy have not been easy...
Because, because the Storm Cloak, Empire, the Lords and the Snowman City Fire Demon broke out in the middle and south of the sky, the war swept nearly half of the sky. In addition, the main ethnic group of the Sky Province was originally the Nords, who were known for physical skills, were born not good at magic, and had natural rejection and fear of magic users. In addition, Somo and the high elves, who were hostile to the Nords, were also very good at magic... Under the reasons, their Winter Castle Academy was rejected and hostile to the Nords, which forced them to face serious shortage of students and declining quality in a bad situation.
Therefore, in order not to let the students who come to Winter Castle Academy to learn magic are only left with the people from other provinces and the ethnic minorities in Skyrim Province. The magic teachers and chief wizards (principals) have long reached a consensus that as long as the people who come have the most basic spell casting ability and are willing to learn magic, they will all come!
Of course, no rejection is not allowed, but the basic tuition and labor costs for certain spells are still charged, and it is not cheap at all...
Bang!
"Here! I'll give you gold!"
??(??????~???)o
"Where is the spell? Take it out and I'll take a look, they can learn it now!"
(??╭╮??)
Annie, who was a little unhappy, threw a small bag of gold coins into the other party's arms, and then reached out to ask the other party for the messy magic technique.
"ah……"
"Okay, I'll give you this..."
"You can take it back and have a good look first. If you can learn it within a month or two, you can come here to find me again?"
Although he was surprised and did not know the gold coins given to him by the other party, he felt that they were very large and were not inferior to Septin's female magician hesitated for a while, and then he had to smile and carefully hand a roll of parchment to the little palm that the other party spread to him.
Even she never thought that such a little guy actually carries so much money?
“…”
Σ(￣д￣;)
"No need to wait for the future. They have learned it now!"
(??????????)Why!
Just spread out and glanced, Annie impatiently threw the ragged scroll recording the simple little trick behind her, allowing the parchment worth thirty gold coins to fall to the bottom of the ice sea cliff in the howling wind and snowflakes...
“??”
"What? Learn now, learn it? Are you not kidding?!"
Seeing the little girl's actions and hearing the other party's angry words, the female magician couldn't help but be stunned.
But obviously, she must not believe it! So, after taking a look at the spell scroll that gradually drifted away in the heavy snow and disappeared completely in the wind and snow for a while, she felt a little distressed and looked at the little girl with some dissatisfaction.
As a mage, the most important morality is rigor and pragmatism, because those complicated magic experiments cannot tolerate a slight mistake, because magic is very dangerous, and you will hurt yourself if you are not careful! So, she began to feel a little dissatisfied with the little girl in front of her, and she never believed that the other party could really learn a spell with a rough glance, even the simplest magic light technique!
"I'm not joking!"
??(??`^????)??
"If you don't believe me, look!!"
??(ψ｀▽′)╭?????
Without thinking, Annie just stretched out her finger boredly, and then a dazzling white light ball was thrown directly by her to the round floor pattern with magic patterns behind the other party, and directly illuminated some light blue magic patterns on top.
"ah!!"
"this……"
It's actually a magic light technique, and I really learned it at a glance?!
"You could have done it earlier?"
"Okay, I won't ask anymore. You've done a good job, even if you pass..."
“Um…”
"I think you will definitely become an outstanding newcomer to our Winter Castle Academy. No matter what, since you have passed my test, you are welcome, a new apprentice..."
"By the way!"
"My name is Falauda, ​​and I am the magic teacher in the Winter Castle Academy. I am mainly responsible for the magic of the destruction department. What's your name, little guy?"
Although it was a bit strange to let a little girl join the Winter Castle Academy, and although he was a little surprised by the other party's talent, he felt that receiving the other party did not violate the academy's purpose, and felt that the other party seemed to have money to afford the daily study. So he nodded and agreed to and recognized the other party's name while entering the Winter Castle Academy.
That spell, the "magic light technique" is enough for her to let go, whether the other party learned it just after a glance or had learned it before coming here, because the other party's age proves the other party's talent, which must be amazing, and it must be enough to become a mage student at the Winter Castle Academy.
"My name is Annie!"
(??????????-)??
"Anne?"
"Okay, please come with me. Since you have passed my test, I'll talk about other things later. Now I'll help you light up the three energy wells so that we can enter the interior of the Magic Academy."
"Be careful, there is a gap in the bridge in front, so don't fall down!"
"In the past, a tsunami occurred here. Although the main body of the Winter Castle Academy was intact, the rock pontoon bridge maintained by several magic wells was slightly damaged and has not been repaired until now..."
"You saw it too!"
"If you don't know magic light, you can't get in once you come out, so I'm not deliberately making things difficult for you!"
While leading the way, the female mage Falauda reminded him and stretched out her hand. The magic light technique that Anne had just wanted to perform was thrown into the magic energy well in front, causing a blue magic energy beam to light up on it. At the same time, the entire rock pontoon bridge slowly turned under the action of the activated energy well and connected to the next pontoon bridge.
"So that's how it is..."
(lll￢▽￢)
Annie actually wants to say that she can move directly and flash or fly over in an instant, so she doesn’t have to light up those boring energy wells and walk on the pontoon bridge every time!
However, given that she had just come here and was not familiar with the other party and this magic academy, she didn't say anything more.
"At the future, the advanced wizard Mirabelle will arrange dormitories for you and take you to visit the academy. She is mainly responsible for the reception of newcomers and some miscellaneous items in the academy, while I am responsible for the security and audit of newcomers outside..."
"Don't!"
"Be careful, little guy, don't look down below!"
"I warn you: If you fall down, we won't go to save you!"
Seeing that a little guy was approaching the gap between the pontoon bridge and looking down on tiptoe, Falauda hurriedly shouted and stopped him.
“…”
(￢▽￢.)
Annie didn't think it was important to see what was wrong, she just took a look at it casually, how could she fall down?
Besides, even if she really falls, she is not afraid, because it is not high here, and she has some ways to land safely so that she will not be as unbearable as the other party said!
Chapter completed!
