Chapter 149

"You know… We need to start to meet in a house or mansion."

I jump a little when I hear a voice behind me, and when I turn around, I see a familiar person grinning at me.

"Could you not? Could you not do that?"

"And where is the fun in that? Anyway, where are we?"

"We are in a county called Bruma. We are no longer in Skyrim."

"Is the previous place called Skyrim?"

"Aye. That is the place called Riften, one of the Nine Biggest Cities in the entire Skyrim."

"So Skyrim is a country?"

"Yup."

"Right."

He looks around in interest before looking back at him.

"Right! Sorry to make you wait. This is the first time I have visited an unknown world, you know? Here, take this."

He throws me a small pouch. I catch the pouch and open it. I widen my eyes when I see a familiar crystal inside the pouch.

"This is…"

"Yup! Saint Quartz. You can use this instead of creating a connection between your world and the Throne of Heroes."

"How do I do that?"

"Well, remember the last step of the ritual?"

"Yes. Using the blood of creatures connected to Earth, I can create a bridge to the Holy Grail or something that connects to the Akasha or Gaia through a ritual."

"Yes. However, instead of doing that, I want you to do that ritual. Each of them is already connected to all classes."

I look inside the pouch and say.

"There are eight of them. Are they the regular classes and rulers? Please be a ruler and not an avenger."

He gives me a smirk and says,

"Don't worry. I am not that cruel. Avenger is known as the most unstable class to be used as a Class Card. I will not give that to you."

"Oh, thank goodness. Thank you. What do you want in return?"

"I already told you."

"Nah. That was for copying your power. What do you want for this?"

He looks at me for a second before saying.

"I want to follow you in your adventure in this world. I want to see what this world has to offer."

"I cannot grant you that. This is not my world. I will ask Akatosh first."

I take a deep breath and send a message to Akatosh.

Akatosh, do you hear what is happening?

I can feel the dragon of time nodding his head.

'Aye. I shall permit him to explore Nirn. However, he must swear upon his soul that he will never enter the Oblivion Realm.'

I shall inform him of that.

I look at Zelretch and say.

"I need you to swear upon your soul that you will never enter the realm just outside this one."

Zelretch nods his head and says.

"Fair enough. I swear in the name of Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg that I will not leave this realm when I am in this universe."

I nod.

How is it?

'Good enough.'

I release a sigh and say.

"You have a green light. What do you want to do now?"

"Hmm, the first thing I want to do is to see if you are willing to let me have some experiment with those dragon bones."

I look at the bones on the ground and remember that I defeated another dragon. Right. I almost forgot that we were standing in the middle of a clearing in the mountains near Bruma.

"I don't mind. However, leave the skull intact, okay? I want to take it as a trophy."

"How about the horn? Can I take both of them?"

"Sure. What kind of experiment do you want to do anyway?"

Zelretch quickly walks toward the skull and dismantles it effortlessly.

"Depends, I guess. It has been a while since I did some experiments with Dragon Bones. They are great for magic absorption Mystic Code. However, I want to try to see if it can be used as a booster to a magical spell."

"Right. You know what? You can take all of them because I still have two more dragons to hunt."

He looks at me with curious eyes before saying.

"You are hunting your own kind, my friend?"

"Call me Ryan. My name is Ryan Hernandes, but you can call me Ryan. As for your previous question, yes. I am a dragon hunter—the ultimate one, in fact. The dragons in this world cannot die because their soul will linger in the mortal plane, and they can be resurrected by their leader, Alduin, the World Eater. I am a Dragonborn, someone who has the soul of a dragon and someone who can eat a dragon's soul."

He nods his head and says.

"I see. Eating their souls makes yours bigger. I don't know how much you have been eating, but it makes your soul shine brighter than anything I have ever seen."

"Really? Will this cause a problem when I enter your world?"

"Not really, no. However, some people will think that you are a God or something."

"There are people who can see my soul?"

"Yup. They are rare, but most of them rarely leave the Clock Tower."

I nod my head and say.

"Please keep them away from me. I don't want to attract something bad while I am fulfilling my end of the bargain."

"Don't worry. Even though I rarely get involved in the Clock Tower, I still hold the title of Wizard Marshall, after all."

"Right. Anyway, can you take these?"

"Easy enough."

He waves his hand, and suddenly, a portal appears and sucks the entire bones.

"What is that?"

"My personal world. Humans are gone from that world, and I use that as my personal vault."

"Smart. Anyway, come on. We will go to Bruma."

==||==

"Oh my~ I never see someone with beautiful scales as yours, my lady."

"Oh, you. Stop flirting with me, sir. I might take your offer if you continue."

"I am telling the truth, my lady. Your beautiful scales are truly a sight to behold."

I release a sigh and take a sip of my mead. I never thought that Zelretch was a pervert. I start to believe that he sleeps with anything in the multiverse.

At first, the people in Burma think of him as a vampire because of his eyes, but after seeing him not getting uncomfortable standing when the sun is up, they let him in. At first, he looks around in nostalgia before he does this after he sees an Argonian woman serve us some mead.

I let him be and decided to enjoy the warm food in front of me. However, before I could even put some food in my mouth, the door to the inn harshly opened, and I could see a group of soldiers enter the tavern.

I frowned a little and saw them create a line. I prepare for a fight, but it looks like I do not need to when one of them suddenly shouts.

"Announcing! His Highness, the Emperor of Tamriel!"
