Path of The Dragonborn

Chapter 36: Encounter the storm cloak



"From here, there is a suspension bridge." Hardawa pointed to the depths of the cave. They walked for another half an hour, and the air became more and more humid, and it was still full of inexplicable stench. Under the influence of these harsh conditions, Hadawa's memory began to decline. And the terrain is too weird, like a maze, I don’t know why the previous lords built the underground tunnel into this way, is it a dwarven ruin fanatic? That would be too bad. I heard that there is the kind of brass ballista in the dwarf ruins that can kill a whole team of heavily armored swordsmen without any effort.

Obviously, this place cannot be a relic of glorious dwarf civilization, but there are still many institutions here. Within a few steps, a composite pegboard at the corner almost killed Hardawa. If it wasn't for Bernardo to drag him back, I'm afraid that only necromantic spells could make him move.

"Shure is on..." Hadawa couldn't help praying again, this was the third time, and Bernardo was already a little irritated.

"If it weren't for me, you would have died five times if you came here today..." Bernardo folded his arms and squinted, staring at Hardava.

"Thank you, thank you..." Hadawa also immediately thanked the young man standing next to him. A similar conversation occurred after the three previous prayers, and every scene of this deja vu was repeated.

"Okay, no thanks, look," Bernardo pointed in one direction, and the faintly shining sunlight was clearly visible.

After passing through a natural passage made of stalactites, everything in front of me suddenly became clear.

"It's pretty." Bernardo couldn't help but exclaimed.

In front of us is a huge underground canyon. There is only a lone suspension bridge within a few hundred steps, and you can see a huge hole on the opposite side.

There are many luminous minerals on both sides of the canyon, which are like stars in the night sky under the shining sunlight. Bernardo looked carefully, and could find some vague carvings and axe marks. It seems that this was once a prosperous mining farm, but it is now abandoned.

"Huh~" Hadawa took a deep breath. He was fed up with the bloody, foul-smelling and humid air in the passage. Now he has a pleasant expression, and the wind in the canyon is blowing and cool.

"It looks like no one has walked this way. Recently." Hardawa took a closer look at the handrails of the suspension bridge. It was covered with dust and appeared to be evenly distributed. The suspension bridge itself is also very strong. With the help of iron chains and nooses, several layers of composite wooden planks are stacked on top of each other, and there is no shaking in the strong wind.

"Let's go." Bernardo stepped gently on the suspension bridge and walked steadily. Hadawa followed.

"Well, this is not common sense." Hadawa couldn't help saying when he walked to the other end of the suspension bridge steadily.

"What?" Bernardo frowned.

"In the novel, after the protagonists walk through this kind of suspension bridge, they will always encounter some obstacles..."

At this moment, several figures suddenly appeared in the cave in front of me——

"Imperial people! Ambush!" The leader was taken aback, then drew a sharp sword and rushed towards the two. The remaining people used bows and arrows, and a few sharp arrows screamed.

"Your prediction is quite accurate." Bernardo ridiculed once again, and at the same time shot two groups of flame magic energy to ablate the sharp arrow that was shot.

"Magic?" The storm cloak soldier who rushed in the front was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately assumed another posture, standing in front of the strong shield, hiding his entire upper body behind the shield, and rushing towards Bernardo.

"The choice is right, and the fighting consciousness is also good. It's a pity..." Bernardo sighed, his hands condensed again, and the powerful magic power came out, "It's still too weak!"

A huge thunderstorm sprayed out, directly knocking the soldiers holding the shields to the ground, and the conductivity of the surrounding metal ores also allowed the powerful lightning to be transmitted along the wall instantly, making the few who were preparing to shoot the second wave of arrows. Yu's shooter was also electrocuted to the ground. However, Bernardo quickly stopped, so that these people were not burned to black by the powerful electricity.

"I have nothing to do with the war between you, please let me pass." Bernardo, who had done all this, stood with his hand in his hand, looking down at the soldier who fell in front of him.

"Ah... you can go, but the imperial soldier behind you must stay!" The opponent looked like an ordinary magician, but his strength was so strong that there was really no need to provoke him. But the **** enemy in the imperial armor beside him can never let him out of here!

"He is my...guard, the guard of the mage." Bernardo casually made up a lie, "This armor was changed when Helgen was passing by. There were a lot of dead people there, so I took a set of Empire mass production. Wouldn’t it be appropriate to replace his original set of rags with armor?"

"Dead?" The soldier was stunned. "What nonsense are you talking about, there is the garrison point of the Imperial Army! What have they done to His Majesty Ulfric?"

"Believe it or not, there was an attack by a dragon." Bernardo spread his hands, "As for the Ulfric you said... if it's the man who wears a cloak and gagged his mouth and said nothing. , He seems to have escaped in the chaos while being attacked by the dragon."

"Escape, your Majesty is safe..." The soldier said in a relieved tone, but immediately realized something was wrong: "What? Dragon? What are you talking nonsense, do you see too many fairy tales of the wizard?"

"Look at this." Bernardo lifted the forearm of the robe (captured in the torture room), and the burn marks on it were clearly visible (actually the disguise of partial dragon skin surgery), "Such a serious burn, the wizards can't Treat yourself, do you think this is caused by ordinary flames?"

"...But this is really..." The soldier in front of him mumbled, but he could see that his heart had been unswerving from the beginning to now hesitant.

Just as Bernardo was preparing to behave in a good way and let the soldier let him go, he was roughly interrupted. Inside the cave, a member of the other squad who heard the movement outside and went out to check, when he saw Hadawa standing behind Bernardo, immediately interrupted Bernardo's words: "Deputy Captain! Don’t believe his nonsense! Behind him is Hardawa, who is wearing Imperial Army clothes. He is a fellow of Captain Larov. I told the captain when he went to Ximu Town that the blacksmith Alvo in their town was the imperial running dog. Uncle, they look almost the same!"

"Um..." After hearing this, the surrounding Stormcloak soldiers immediately stared at the two with unkind eyes.

"Hey..." Bernardo sighed, "It seems that the negotiation failed. I didn't expect you to be recognized."

"Bastard! How dare you deceive us! Damn mage! Damn imperial running dog!" The man called the deputy captain yelled angrily, struggling to stand up, carrying a sharp sword in his hand, and stabbing the boy in front of him!

P.S. Let’s ask everyone, do you think I’m writing this book more to the trajectory side of the scene?
