Marvel's Magic Master

"As expected of Skyrim's trading city, there are indeed many magic books."

In the evening, George, who had already checked into the Mare Banner Hotel in the Plains District, looked at the pile of magic books he had obtained and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Wood armor, candlelight, summoning ghost wolves, wrath, courage, healing and barrier.

Except for some books on basic magical knowledge, he bought most of the elementary magic books on the five types of magic.

As for more advanced magic, it is difficult to buy it even in Whiterun.

Because Skyrim is the homeland of the Nords, the largest population here is Nords, and Nords worship warriors and do not attach much importance to magic.

Because of the harm that magic has caused in the past, many Nord civilians have even developed a certain disgust towards magic.

For them, no matter how hard you try, it will not cause too much damage to houses and the environment, nor will it affect innocent people.

However, if magic is used, especially fire magic of destruction, it can easily cause a fire and burn many ordinary people to death.

There is also summoning magic. Whether it is summoning Deidara from the annihilation space, summoning demons, or controlling corpses, it is a very evil thing in their eyes.

The key is that there are many wild wizards and evil wizard organizations in Skyrim, who often do things that anger God and people in order to study evil magic.

Therefore, the sale of high-level spells is generally prohibited in major cities in Skyrim, and it is difficult to purchase them through normal channels.

However, the mayors of major cities are not fools. They are well aware of the power of magic and will recruit many powerful magicians for their troops.

There are even royal court wizards.

The next day, after having breakfast at Mare Banner, George took Arvel out of the city and rode two horses straight to Winterhold.

It normally takes half a month to travel from Whiterun to Winterhold by carriage.

If you go by horse, it will take about ten days to get there.

It took George and Avel less than five days to reach the northernmost part of Skyrim, outside the snow-covered city of Winterhold.

"By the grace of the Eight Holy Spirits, we have finally arrived at Winterhold!"

Seeing that Winterhold was right in front of him, Avel shook off the snow on his body, covered his butt, and a look of relief appeared on his face.

A journey that normally takes ten days was completed in just five days. You can imagine how much time was wasted on the journey.

Especially since George was walking in a straight line, which no one had ever dared to do before, his butt was almost broken by the shaking. The whole journey was so thrilling that he was almost scared to death.

What is straight line walking?

It is a route that goes straight from Whiterun to Winterhold without any turns or detours, with the straight line between two points being the shortest.

Why does no one dare to use this straight-line method?
Because along this straight line there may be mountains, lakes, cliffs, primeval forests, various poisonous insects and beasts, as well as various robbers who like to hide in the dark.

If you are unlucky, you may encounter dark creatures like vampires and werewolves, various magical creatures, evil wizards, etc.

So when people go from one city to another, they walk on paved roads. The roads around them have been cleared, and although they take a detour, they are safe.

The only thing we need to guard against is highway robbery.

However, the above dangers are not dangerous at all for George.

Whether it's poisonous insects, wild beasts, robbers, vampires, werewolves, or all kinds of magical creatures, they are all a piece of cake for George.

If you encounter a lake, cast a frost spell to freeze the entire surface of the lake.

If you encounter mountains, cliffs and steep cliffs, that's not a problem.

Wrap the two horses, Avel and the luggage together and carry them over easily with a few jumps.

However, as a thief with a not-so-strong physique, this experience was a little difficult. "Let's find an inn to stay in. Let's first inquire about the situation at the College of Winterhold."

Facing the wind and snow, George and Avel entered this ancient and dilapidated city.

Winterhold was once the capital of Skyrim. It was even more prosperous than Whiterun today, and its size far exceeded that of Lonely City.

However, in the year 122 of the Fourth Age, terrible waves suddenly appeared in the Sea of ​​Ghosts near Winterhold, causing damage to Winterhold.

What’s more serious is that a major collapse occurred in Winterhold not long after that.

More than nine-tenths of the entire city of Winterhold sank into the Sea of ​​Ghosts, making Winterhold desolate and the smallest city in Skyrim.

Because the Winterhold wizards worked together to use magic to save the Winterhold College, many of the surviving Winterhold residents believed that the disaster was caused by the mysterious and powerful wizards of the Winterhold College.

Therefore, everyone in Winterhold, from the lords to the ordinary residents, is not very friendly to the College of Winterhold.

But due to the strength of the College of Winterhold, they didn't dare to really do anything.

This is the history of Winterburg that George obtained when he brought Avel into the inn based on the information he obtained and combined it with his memories of his past life.

Among them, there is also information about the admission to Winterhold College.

There are two modes of admissions to the College of Winterhold.

The first type is those under the age of eleven, who can directly take the test for magical talent and can join as long as they pass.

The second type is those who are over eleven years old, and they must be proficient in a system of intermediate magic.

If you only know basic magic, the College of Winterhold will sell you an intermediate magic at a very low price. As long as you can learn it on your own within two years, you can join the College smoothly.

George now only has basic magic, no intermediate magic, and his age is over the limit.

So he decided to choose the second option.

Anyway, for him, it only takes a few minutes to learn an intermediate magic in this world.

In the evening, sitting in front of the campfire in the inn, drinking Winterhold's special snow fruit wine, and watching the Nord dancers dancing in front of him with a northern style, he already had a plan for entering Winterhold tomorrow.

However, at this moment, his ears suddenly moved:
"This is... a dragon has been resurrected?"

After calculating the time, it's about the same. Seven days have passed since I saw Alduin leave Riverwood Town.

Seven days is enough for Alduin to resurrect several dragons.

"Oh no! There's a dragon attacking."

The door of the hotel was flung open, and a city resident shouted in a trembling voice.

As his shouting ended, the terrifying roar of a dragon was heard outside.

"Dragon?"

The guests in the hotel were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly started screaming in fear.

In the eyes of almost everyone in Skyrim, dragons are legendary creatures, and legendary dragons are evil, brutal, and powerful.

"I just happen to be in need of a mount, but I don't know if I can tame it."

Hearing the roar of the dragon outside, George couldn't help but touch his chin.
