Err-- Might be amusing to start from here for the first time in a while.
Now then, everyone! This is Hagu, setting out to grab an Elder Scroll.
With immediate departure from Throat of
BLEEEEH
It just had to be a Falmer loading screen.
Get out of here, freak!
Outta my face, moron!
Wh- ah, well... This is just awkward.
I guess I shouldn't have started recording from the menu.
Once again, good afternoon! Good evening.
Let's go.
To the College of Winterhold...
Today's objective:
Gathering information concerning the Elder Scrolls.
All right, we are here at the College of Winterhold.
Speaking of information gathering, when children of yore wanted to look up something, they turned to these people!
That's right! The...
Lib-***.
Er- liebear...?
Essentially, a ursine species with a tendency to fib.
Yup.
Um- but, they were also said to be incredible knowledgeable.
Mmhmm.
Uh... not that the net-crazy youngsters of the information age would know anything about this.
Yeah.
Err-- right, I have come to see our very own liebearian.
More of a cranky old "orsimer" than a "ursine," though.
Get me an Elder Scroll, would you.
Listen to this crankiness, geez.
I am the ARCHMAGE. Of course I--
What...?
"Do you have one?!"
Ugh... Seems I'm quite the idiot.
It's funny you mention that...
I need an Elder Scroll, and I was told you could help.
Who indeed.
Probably, me.
Right.
I'll just let you get to it.
J'zargo seems rather amused.
Maybe 'cause SOMEBODY's talkin' down to his Archmage, huh?!
'kay. Now then!
The heck is this.
Mad nonsensical ramblings-- is it all like this?!
They're trying to explain same thing with various metaphors, but...
...failing miserably.
Hmm? What's this.
This metaphor seems relatively comprehensible.
Now, imagine yourself as an acorn...
Er- you want to become bigger, but fear what you may become,
so to stay in your hole, you push off the water, dirt, and sun.
But this pushing is what turns you into a tree. How'd that happen?!
In this situation, the acorn is like a tree-egg...
...knowledge is like the water and sun.
We are the chicken inside the egg, but...
we're also the dirt?
What does that mean?
Well, I kind of get the feeling I think I get what's might be-
forget it. I haven't a clue.
What's with this book?
As I thought, the Elder Scrolls have gotten to him.
Anyway, where'd he go.
No more questions. Right, J'zargo! Let's go.
But it's a cryin' shame, ain't it.
Driven insane by the effects of Elder Scroll knowledge...
Makes one wonder if there are physical laws that we are not prepared to comprehend at this stage of evolution.
Anyway! With this destination, we ought to... oh...
[monotone] ugh. let us go to these meaningless ruins, again.
Whoops, come to think of it, there are enemies here.
Okay. Next let's get that Sprint-thing ready.
It's the first real exploration in a while.
But no, seriously, it's been a while for me.
Ah- I can hear a bear, somewhere, but...
Well, fine. I think.
No, not fine! To become a spellsword, I must practice my sword swings!
Putting aside the meaning of "practice..."
So long as I have the effects of Dragonhide, you guys can't do a thing to me.
In reality, though, walrus... the walrus are seriously danger-
That's got to be cold.
The walrus is seriously dangerous! Or so I hear.
That was a shorter trip than I thought it would be.
At this distance, you could end up here just wandering around, I imagine.
Ah-ha! There he is.
But what's this... what do you think this Dwemer cube is?
Is this how you greet people?
How can I put this...
Ah, well, I suppose we ought to expect this level of... this.
Elder Scrolls!
Ehem, I'm still here. I just can't think of anything to say.
Are you all right?
Yeah yeah, you're a poet and you know it.
And the scrolls?
So, not in the cube.
Are you going to help me or not?
And what might that be.
Right, the cube.
I know, I know.
Ah, this time we have rhyme rather than alliteration.
Nya- ha ha.
So where's [exhalation] where's this "Blackreach?"
The more we talk, the more this guy turns into your stereotypical mad hermit.
See, because you rhyme stuff like this.
Anyway. How do I get in?
A round... key, huh.
Ah, heheh.
I know, it's a USB thumb drive!
No, but seriously, "lexicon..."
We already had a sub plot in this series involving a certain lexicon.
The method in which we began it was half-baked, though.
Speaking of lexicons, I'm supposed to give you the used one, but what do you plan to do with the Elder Scrolls knowledge?
He was just waiting for someone to ask this.
Eh?! Hold it, this could be kind of-
The heart from Morrowind, or rather Daggerfall's main plot?!
But it being "our heart as well" sounds a bit...
Evangelion-ish, doesn't it.
Ironical because the Dwemer first discovered it, I take it.
Speaking of "all-sight..."
That was in the book from before.
Meaning, essentially, "vision that exceeds the boundaries of time," perhaps.
Wouldn't be surprised if that was true.
According to Paarthurnax, the Elder Scrolls are 4-dimensional objects.
I think?
I'm no metaphysical scientist, so I don't have a lot of confidence in this interpretation.
[clears throat] A rather difficult to understand topic, perhaps, but there's no need to think much of it.
The truth is, I happen to remember discovering the door we are about to open.
So happily, I can enter this dungeon from its exit!
What a time-saver!
Mind you, I did not plan this ahead of time.
But now that I've finally got the key for that door, it's...
kin'of... k-k-k-k-kind of excitin', innit.
Get over here, J'zargo!
I stuttered.
Let's calm down a bit.
This is the door I mentioned before-
Not that it looks like something resembling a door.
...well.
The battles I fought here were ferocious.
There were no end to the waves of Falmer.
But, Lydia and- whoa, there!
Ah! I've leveled up since then, and so the other Centurion has activated.
If I use Molecule Cutter, the danger should pass in a mere moment.
J'zargo, be careful not to cross the streams...!
It's a bit disappointing, not turning it into ashes...
Nothing less from a Centurion may be the correct thought.
Ah, but this is a regular Centurion.
Had it been Guardian-level, I may have retreated a little.
A cliffhanger is fine, too. (once in a while)
Next time: WE OPEN THE DOOR.
I can't make any promises, but I'll try to get the next video done ASAP. See you next time.
