Chapter 75: Mount Anthor (1/2)
[Jon's POV]
The scene didn't change irl and the corpse half corpse
The only thing that was added to the scene was one, two, three twelve, thirteen
Thirteentheir faces, they appeared out of nowhere just a few seconds after I blew the Justiciar into bloody goo
Their looks were unique yet similar to each other I haven't seen an eye color like this before but itstrange weapons Some look like warpicks and others have chains in them Kinda looked like ninja weapons but I know ninja weapons and these clearly are not
The people theave off the air of Nords, but they didn't act like Nords, which made me not so sure if they are Nords or another race
But it is a weird scene nonetheless
A girl with red eyes and looks like a lady frouarded by thirteen weird shi+nobi like people who probably share the sa miss?”
”Don't worry, he means no harm!”
She spoke up for me! More than that, when she did, they eased up a bit and showed less hostility to me
Still,
”How do you know that?” I asked in a sirl looked at me and I could feel her smile behind the veil, ”I can tell!” She said
I couldn't hide my tired mentality, ”Perfect! Another weirdo”
They people showed no reaction except for one
”Insolent! Apologize or I'll make you!” He cahed and shook their heads, apparently, his actions are out of their noruy and he see technique are new to
”Point that away before you injure yourself boy” A voice ca her bow at hiot frozen for a few seconds but so yourself you fool!” A girl's voice cauy didn't back off and pressed further, ”Yeah, stop eize i to you, icebrain!” The girl spoke once again
”Huh!” The boy got taken aback as it seemed he didn't expect it
He was at a loss from embarrassment now
”Don't think about it too much!” I said
”Wha! I don't need you to comfort me!” He shouted at me
The situation was fun
I kinda see that these people are not that shady as the look
Still, I guess I can't stay like this all day There is souess it all ell, but I need to be on my way now if you excuse me”
I turned around and pointed to Jull
”Wait!” The red-eyed girl called, ”The people that were being chased, please lead us to them!”
She see back to the to her people, soht some horses a minute later
”I think we need to hurry, you and your friend can share the ride with us fo huh?” She was speaking to me but suddenly halted and looked to the side The others also followed her gaze on guard
I was not detecting anything weird fro back the fire horses
Aha!
So this girl has a good detection ability too I felt I looked down on her a little bit
'Systeirl was <lv19>, that's stronger than me! The boy that acted hostile towards me was <lv16> The others varied between <lv30> and <lv15>
This is soer than the Justiciars
Anyway, Jull came with the Fire Horses and some commotion happened between these people They clearly didn't see this one co
I jumped on my horse and looked expressionlessly at them It took them a moment to process what happened and rode in their horses silently
”Who are these people?” Jull came close and asked
In the same time, the boy who showed hostility towards irl and asked ”Who is that person?”
I and the girl could hear fro distance so we looked at each other with curiosity
”I have no idea!”
[Alina's POV]
We rode with haste towards the direction that uided us too
I was really in a hurry to finish the mission entrusted toman has already done the deed
He said he has taken care of it alone I don't knoerful he is but he clearly showed it off on purpose when he killed that Justiciar, maybe overkilled, I don't know anymore!
All I can tell that he didn't lie to me, the only problem is; he is very unpredictable
Unpredictable people show many future possibilities and are hard to read Well, he can't lie in front of uess there is no harm
After all, unpredictable people are the
More than that, this horse he is riding is clearly an Atronach
An Atronach that can reshape itself is onlythe 'Planemeld'
[A/N: Planemeld: an event that occurred 'The Elder Scrolls Online' This was done by Molag Bal when he tried to drag Nirn out of Mundus and take it to his real the 'Planeree of controlling an Atronach and forcing it to take the for ious faction that has excelled in the Conjuration School Maybe the 'Children of Hafara', but these people don't come here The nearest place that provides practice to Conjuration is the 'College of Winterhold', but those are part of the outside world and we have a good relationshi+p with the how to 'Scry' from now on But it is also another lost art
While I was sinking into hts, my clansmen halted their horses which alertedahead! I saw three of Frost Atronaches standing ahead and guarding a place
”Please giveman jumped fro' theood!” The team leader said
I can see that too!
The tea underorders As the third young miss, my role is only to act sole naled us to co man! You really took all of the really special, I just hid a lot of Frost Atronaches around and they walked right into the trap”
”Well done!” The team leader said, ”Listen, these elves have a lot of quality arood price for the
”Good! You, you, and you Loot the bodies the burn them!”
Three of the team went down and started the work, the rest of us kept following the young ht up with the Talos worshi+ppers They looked fine!
”Sir Mage, you are back, did you find the Thal who are these people?” One man stepped up quickly but halted when he saw us
The young uess I had to ot to tell
”Eheuards, thiswe came across a boy ounded in the snow, his na his family so we rallied to aid”
”Vulkur is alive! Talos bless you my lady, where is he?”
”He is back at the cauards, you can rest assured”
This was not completely true, but also I didn't lie, we found the boy in the clan's territory and e found out that so with a Thalmor infiltration to our land, this had to be responded at with firmness
We also carried some orders and supplies for the matter of those people
But the probleuess this was only natural These people have already decided to escape to Windhelm and be protected by Ulfric Stor run
We can ask the 'Firemane Clan' to take theh they are our sworn allies
What a headache!
As I was thinking of a way out of this, the young o to Winterhold!”
Winterhold? This place is doomed within a few years, doesn't he know that?
The people tried to tell hi to help in this matter but if you folk went to Windhelm, you may cause a political probleo to Winterhold The place started to change three o So for people to work for him there Take this token to Winterhold and ask for Trudvar orwill be fine!”
He didn't lie!
My eyes told me that
This is news to me and clearly news to the whole clan
Winterhold is under the e doesn't operate openly in the town, if soed to control that puppet of a Jarl then the town can be liberated
I looked at the team leader and we both understood what needs to be done
”We will also send two men with you to Winterhold! This is the number we can spare for noe are under an important mission at the moment!” The team leader said
Whoever that person is, we reat ie, he wanted to hide it but indeed we are lucky to h now
After this and that we parted with the Talos worshi+ppers and said our thanks to the young ot paid for the elven armor we looted and he see people are indeed rare!
I guess I'll take this guard and pay the sacred ground a visit before I go back toclan
[Jon's POV]
I hate to put my identity into situations like these
I had to help the worshi+ppers of Talos by preventing the to Ulfric, this is a headache but it orth it
Probleirlout aboutthat was hahtwith people, and also the importance of fame
