Chapter 158 Rescue
Chapter 158: Rescue
"Mr. Tovdir, can you be faster?!"
"I don't think it's necessary, but... since you say that, then..."
Two galloping gray horses are galloping on the road on the snowy ridge. Generally speaking, this dangerous behavior will cause all confident riders to break their necks, but one of the two knights on the horseback is the best magician in the entire Skyrim Province, so this problem is no longer a problem. In Transformation, there is a very unpopular one. It combines the barrier of recovery and armor-enhanced magic of transformation. It is a travel magic developed by Tovdir, a great magician who often leads students to go out for internships. He named it "Good Riding", which can ensure the balance and stability of the horse under his crotch. After changing into the sting horseshoe specially made for the frozen roads in Skyrim Province, he can gallop quickly even if the ice is covered on the road.
After Tovdir released the "good riding" of the "good riding", Sadako Yamamura and the old mage galloped quickly towards the Wind Helmet City regardless of horsepower. The Wind Castle and Wind Helmet City were not very far away, and it only took half a day to reach it while walking. With the horses galloping, the journey was shortened to only two hours to complete quickly.
After returning to Fengliu City with Su Jing and Lu Mengyao who was in a coma, Sadako Yamamura was entrusted by Su Jing to negotiate with the chief wizard, and pressured them to explain the large number of magic scrolls that still occupy the eastern part of Skyrim Province. With the character of Sadako Yamamura, she may be the least suitable person to be this envoy. Fortunately, Su Jing did not directly let her oppress the Winliu Magister Academy. Instead, she was an apprentice studying at the Winliu Academy and a casting official (Su Jing said casually) who worked in the Storm Cloak government. She asked the Winliu Academy to send a powerful master to Fengliu City for negotiation.
This request is not too much. Under the surveillance and oppression of the chief mage consultant Ankano, the chief mage of Winter Castle Academy was undermined, Arran agreed to this request without much difficulty. Perhaps he thought this could improve some disputes within the academy. After a brief consideration, the gentlest and most neutral change among many magic masters, Tovdir, was entrusted by the chief mage to negotiate.
The purpose of Su Jing's plan was not only to let Sadako Yamamura, a junior apprentice, enter the sight of the senior management of the Magic Academy, but also to narrow the distance between the Winter Castle Academy and the Storm Cloak. In any case, if these mages have been huddled in the academy and cannot come out, then no one can change them. However, if they begin to voluntarily intervene in the outside world and start to get involved in disputes in the civil war, then it will be difficult for them to continue to maintain their detachment of being out of the matter.
"It's been seven or eight years since I came to Fenghew City last time..." Master Tovdir was an old man Qingyan with gray hair and beard. His whole body was extremely simple, and he could hardly see any magic jewelry he was wearing. Perhaps because he was always instructing students, he sometimes seemed to talk a lot, and he would teach his students about magic knowledge whenever he had the chance. "At that time, my body was a little stronger than it is now. In that city, I remember using my own magic to kill two little thieves who were not open... Of course, it was just the simplest fire tongue technique. To be honest, in this world, there are not many things that can allow a mage to use high-level destruction spells. Corpse Ghost Lord? High-level Demon? Enemies of this level were fought two or three times when I was young, but in the past ten years, I rarely encountered such a powerful enemy..."
"Oh my God! That's... the palace of the kings!!" Sadako Yamamura sighed softly. She accelerated the horse's speed, and the spurs hanging behind her boots kept kicking the side ribs of the gray horse under her crotch.
The Palace of the Kings is the residence of the Lord of the City of Wind Helmet, where Ulfric, the Storm Cloak and the entire Storm Cloak revolts are located. The palace has a long history - but it is likely to require a large-scale renovation in the near future.
A stream of black smoke floated above the majestic and tall ancient palace, which was clearly visible even outside the city. In the snowy weather, you can still see flames leaping. The stone palace itself is not easy to ignite, but in the narrow window, you can see the furniture inside that seems to be burning.
"Oh my God..." Tovdir also accelerated his speed. Given that the inside of the Winter Castle seemed to be under attack, he had never thought of entering the city smoothly. But what he didn't expect was that it seemed as if someone knew they were coming in advance, the city gate opened twenty seconds before their arrival.
Sadako Yamamura did not stop and rushed through the city gate and rushed into Fenghew City. After hesitating for half a second, Tovdir also rushed over.
Sadako Yamamura put down her fingers pressed on her forehead. The remote mental control just now took away part of her mental power. This kind of thing was not as simple as moving her mouth. She used her mental power to search the coordinates of the soldiers guarding the city gate in an instant, and then toughly broke through the other party's spiritual wall, took over the other party's body, and then opened the city gate. Adventurers below three-star ratings didn't have to think about doing this. Only Sadako Yamamura, who had risen to four-star ratings, could complete these steps in an instant with the help of "stagnant water". Even she herself didn't know when she had begun to gradually transform and gradually approached a real adventurer, whether it was mentality or ability...
On the streets inside the Wind Helmet City, she saw teams of soldiers running towards the palace of the kings under the leadership of the squad commander. Most of the middle and high-level officials were inside the palace, and this inexplicable attack that came from some unknown place happened to hit the center of the Storm Cloak command system, locking all the generals who could make decisions inside and facing the massacre of the brutal enemy.
"Please let me go! Please let me go!!"
Time is tight, and Sadako Yamamura didn't care about getting off the horse and walked, and rode her horse directly through the chaotic crowd. As a sign of apology, she had to shout loudly to remind others to pay attention. Behind her magical horse skills is the convenient technology to directly use spiritual links to control the horse's movements.
Three minutes later, the iron gate of the palace of the Kings was approaching. Seven or eight soldiers were slashing the solid gate with weapons such as giant axes, and it seemed that the gate was locked inside.
"Please get out of the way. I am the newly hired imperial wizard from His Highness Ulfric. Let me open this door."
The lie blurted out from his lips, and I don't know if it was influenced by Su Jing. Sadako Yamamura found that she had made up lies more and more smoothly, and her face was calm and her expression was very calm. With the help of her mental power, what she said was nailed into the heads of these Nords like an undoubted fact. These brave soldiers retreated in awe, regardless of why the Storm Cloak, which was proud of the Nords' tradition of bravery, would hire a... Mage.
Sadako Yamamura walked to the gate and slightly detected the situation at the gate, which made her frown slightly.
Not only was it locked from the inside, but the door was simply welded directly by some kind of powerful flame and turned into a whole thick iron plate. In this case, it is better to use a siege hammer made of giant wood to knock down the entire door plate.
"Give it, let it, let it, let it take me to see..." With a series of rapid breathing, Master Tovdir pushed away the soldiers of the storm cloak and rushed up from behind. Sadako Yamamura whispered that she had detected the result. The old mage's sparse eyebrows moved slightly, and then stood in front of the door in contemplation.
"Hey, old man. If you can't figure out a way, we'll continue chopping! Every second is very nervous, we'll rush in and save Lord Ulfric!" said a blonde Nord, who tied his helmet around his waist and looked like a commander, gritting his teeth.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Young man... I'm just thinking about the way to recite that spell... That spell is not often used..." Tovdir twisted his gray-white goatee, then stretched out his hands and pressed it on the door. He chanted the dense spell in a low voice and quickly. The ups and downs seemed to form a certain resonance with the steel plates. Or the circuit of elements...
Two seconds later, the entire iron door turned into a large amount of iron sand in an instant. It collapsed like a hill. The storm cloaks, who had been too late to wait, rushed in with weapons, and the miserable scene inside shocked their nerves.
The corpses of soldiers piled up into a hill, blood flowing everywhere... Even by the Nordic standards, this place can be regarded as a real slaughterhouse.
"Hurry, divide it into four teams and search for four directions separately! I will lead the upper palace myself! Take all the generals you can find out, and don't let the assassin escape! Be careful, that may be a powerful mage!"
"I understand, Captain Larov!"
The storm cloaks scattered around, but the commander named Larov discovered that the two wizards had rushed into the upper palace in front of him.
"Hey, wait a moment! Let Nord's warriors seize the right to fight head-on with the enemy!"
"Don't be stupid, young man. Only the mage knows how to fight against the mage." Master Tovdir was also a little nervous. He was reviewing the spells he used to face the enemy in his mind. How long has it been since he fought with people head-on for life and death? Judging from the traces along the way, the strength of this mage in the Destruction Department may be close to Master Falauda, who specializes in the Destruction Department in the academy.
What Tovdir is best at is defensive spells. It includes various barriers and variable spells that enhance defense and resistance. The former can make a force field wall that resists attacks of considerable strength, while the latter can strengthen a person's armor, and even temporarily strengthen a cotton robe to the hardness of the dwarf armor without changing its original lightness.
Sadako Yamamura seemed to know where to go. She led the old mage through the complicated roads in the castle without hesitation. Along the way, no less than twelve or three corpses fell in the corridor in various positions, some were guards, some were officials and powerful figures leading the army. Each was killed by the powerful destruction spell. The traces of flame burning and frost condensation could be seen on the walls. Tovdir carefully sensed the residual elemental fluctuations in the air. Flame, lightning, frost... The three destruction spells, this powerful and evil mage seemed to be able to use them all. If we judge the number of spells used by the destruction traces along the way, her mental reserves were really strong and extremely rare. Even the old mage believed that she could not have such a powerful spell casting ability without the blessing of magic equipment...
But this cannot determine the outcome of a battle.
Finally, Sadako Yamamura rushed to the top floor of the palace of the kings. She stopped at the door of Ulfric's bedroom.
There were three people standing in the room, and the three seemed to be in a long confrontation.
The arrival of Sadako Yamamura seemed to break the delicate balance. At this moment, the three people in the room couldn't help but turn their heads and look at the door. In the next moment, the three people realized the unwiseness of this move.
Before his eyes turned back, the female mage in gray robe raised her right hand, aiming the short gem staff with blue light at the black armored man, and the other party had already arched his waist and rushed out of the air in the next second. Behind the black armor, the ginger-bearded Ulfric Storm Cloak held a short axe in one hand and assaulted from the side.
And all of this was reflected in Yamamura Sadako's wide open pupils.
