If you want to cross the entire Skyrim province from northwest to southeast, it is not easy to walk. Since wild beasts and bandits are rampant, and the Empire and the Stormcloaks may fight somewhere, the coachmen in major cities and villages can only
Provide the nearest transportation service. For example, the coachman in Dugu City is only willing to go to Dragon Bridge, Mosar City and Morning Star City. The fare per person ranges from 50 gold coins to 100 gold coins.
The Rift Valley that Princess Emilia wants to go to requires at least six car transfers along the way. Even if the coachmen drive day and night, it will take at least four days to arrive.
Not long ago, Palathos tried his best to stop the princess who was about to go out without taking anything like she was chasing General Tullius. He urgently arranged for a car, luggage, refused Tasilius to accompany him, and other things before driving off.
We finally arrived at Loristed, the richest village in the Snowman territory.
Since the Lord of Snowrun City, Balgruuf the Great, declared neutrality in the civil war, neither the Imperial Regiment nor the Stormcloaks were allowed to enter his territory. The carriage with the Imperial logo turned around, and Parathos
Then he went to old Luo Li to discuss the request to hire a separate carriage - even if the princess didn't mind sitting in a carriage with the common people, he would not dare to really arrange that in order to avoid the emperor's wrath.
"Ah, Sharp-Eyed Hawk, I know you, the Royal Guards." Old Lori is a typical Nord, bold and enthusiastic, with a loud voice. Because he participated in the war between the Empire and Thalmor and made outstanding achievements, even if he is now wearing
Even the luxurious clothes can't hide the evil spirit all over his body.
He is the owner of most of the land in Loristed. In this prosperous village that provides almost half of all food production in Xueman, he is equivalent to the actual lord. The place where the two of them were talking at this time was Loristed.
The largest, a huge two-story stone house known as "Villa Lori".
"Yes, as you think, this carriage is for a member of the royal family. For safety reasons, we cannot crowd together with civilians." Parasos nodded. At this time, he could only communicate with Lao Luo.
The reason for the conversation was that the princess saw a pair of twin girls quarreling before and followed them with interest.
From Parasos' point of view, safety is not actually a problem, but he has no idea about the criteria for "killing" and "rescuing" the princess. What might happen if the princess is allowed to stay in the crowd, and in the end...
You have to deal with the aftermath yourself. As for this generally wealthy farming village, there shouldn't be any accidents.
——8:30——
"I also want to become an adventurer like you, but my father is firmly against it."
"Ha, do you think it's easy for adventurers? If you don't have a reputation, no one will be willing to give you work."
Loristed's hotel is called "Ice Fruit" because the innkeeper Mullarkey owns an orchard and has an "Ice Fruit" dish on the menu.
As a famous grain producing area, there are many businessmen coming and going, so the hotel's business is also good. However, the innkeeper's son Eric is unwilling to farm or inherit the hotel. His wish is to become an adventurer and become a blacksmith.
Jorick got an orc-style long sword from him, but because Mullaki disagreed, his sword could only be used to drive away vermin and wild beasts in the farmland around the village.
Emilia was sitting in the hotel lobby, listening to two little girls arguing about whose fault it was for not weeding the fields in time, and watching the exchange between Eric and another "adventurer". Of course, no one was
Discover her existence.
This "adventurer" should have been active near Snowrun. If he went to the control area of the Imperial Regiment or the Stormcloaks, he would definitely be arrested, or at least give him a beating.
Because he was wearing the mail of the Stormcloaks, the helmet of the Imperial Regiment, a shield with the emblem of the Stormcloaks on his back, and a standard long sword of the Imperial Regiment. At first glance, it looked like equipment picked up on the battlefields of both sides.
, If you don’t beat him, who will you beat?
"We have been friends for many years. Can you tell my father for me that from the look of you, adventurers are not dangerous, right?" Eric said to the adventurer: "I can take this sword.
Exchange with you."
"Hey, don't even think about it!" Before the adventurer could answer, Mullaki, the owner behind the hotel counter, shouted from a distance: "Lockel, you have been stealing since you were a child. I don't know where you got this equipment.
Yes, I won’t believe a word you say!”
"Hmph! Don't you know what happened in Helgen? A dragon launched an attack," the adventurer known as Locke also retorted loudly: "And I fought with that dragon and saved everyone. These
They gave me all the equipment!”
"I would actually talk to you seriously..." Mullarkey shook his head and turned around to continue packing the things on the counter.
"Well, Locke, the deeds of the Dragonborn Lord who saved Helgen have spread to Loristed." Eric patted Locke on the shoulder: "After he brought the news to Snowrun City, he
Killed a dragon that was attacking the western tower—don’t you even know that?”
"I just ran away," Locke said, feeling discouraged, but he immediately cheered up: "I have been completing the tasks issued by Lord Falkreath these days, so I don't know, you don't know, those
How vicious are the robbers who have taken over the 'coal mine'~"
This man was obviously still lying. Emilia looked at Locke who was beaming with joy, but no one seemed to be able to expose him this time.
"[Choke——]" A huge roar sounded in the air outside the hotel, and the walls of the hotel trembled.
"It's a dragon!?" Eric looked very surprised. He stood up and ran out: "If those guards in Snowrun City can kill a dragon, then so can we! Locke, let's go!"
"Of course! This is a good opportunity!" Rocker replied loudly, but instead of running out with Eric, he walked towards the depths of the hotel and hid.
"I think my son might be suitable to be an adventurer." Mullarkey snorted coldly as he passed by Locke, picking up the hatchet and buckler from behind the counter.
The Nords were indeed very warlike. Emilia saw that all the combat-worthy people had rushed out, and even the two little girls who were left behind were talking excitedly, so she tilted her head, opened the door and left.
go out.
——9:00——
"[Hoo-ouch-]"
As soon as Emilia walked out of the hotel, an icy blue dragon's breath came towards her. Although this icy breath failed to penetrate her armor at all, it did not prevent her from freezing the surrounding areas and trapping her.
inside.
After finishing this breath, the huge frost dragon suspended in the air turned back to attack other guards holding bows and shooting. As for the Nords who were shouting with melee weapons, it completely ignored them.
"Holy Spirit!" Parasos, who had just arrived from Villa Lori, was startled and hurried to break the layer of ice.
"...Parathos." Although she was frozen in the ice, the princess didn't look panicked. She just turned her head slightly to look at the sharp-eyed eagle guard.
"I will rescue you right away!" Parasos slashed with his sword several times, and the fragile ice cubes shattered into pieces: "Please leave here first!"
Seeing that the princess took out a dagger and seemed ready to join the battle, he quickly stopped her. Although the princess was very powerful, she was still a dragon. The sharp-eyed eagle had never encountered such an enemy before and could not let it go without knowing its strength.
The princess is in danger.
"...Then knock it down." Emilia looked at the dagger in her hand and seemed to realize that the weapon was not suitable, so she pointed to the bow and arrow behind Parathos.
That wasn't some kind of bird... Parathos noticed that the princess didn't seem to be planning to leave, so he had no choice but to aim his bow with resignation. Only then did he realize that within a short time, all the guards holding bows were sprayed into ice cubes, and he was the one who
The last archer.
"[Chi-Choke-]" A line of ice dragon breath came towards me.
"...There's no need to hide." Emilia swung her dagger towards the dragon's breath, and it split into two halves in the middle, and the arrow Parasos shot at the opportunity also hit its wings, and then
It was bounced away without any suspense.
"[Wo——]" The frost dragon seemed to be looking at Parathos in surprise, and blew out another dragon's breath, but it still failed halfway and received another arrow. The dragon's roar changed from surprise to anger, and it suddenly slapped
He used his wings and descended towards the location of the two people, seemingly planning to engage in a close combat.
"Stop that lizard!" Although they didn't know how they did it, the others who were in a daze because they had no long-range attack methods quickly reacted. Eric raised his orc sword and charged towards the fallen dragon.
passed.
"[Hu—Ga—]" The ice dragon swung its head and blew out a semicircular breath forward, slowing down the affected person, while its tail swept away all those who tried to approach it from behind.
Apart from the princess and the guards, the only one who was still able to move freely was Eric, who rushed in front of them. However, he did not have any armor and only held a sword in one hand, which had almost no protective effect against the dragon's breath.
"Boy, catch it!" Mullarkey, who was hit in the leg by the dragon's breath and struggled to move, threw his buckler with his backhand.
"[Fu—]" The ice dragon breathed out again. This time Emilia did not cut it open, because Eric had already blocked it with the shield, although the next moment he had to be killed because of the whole thing.
It was frozen and thrown away, but the young man who was determined to become an adventurer had already rushed in front of the dragon, and nimbly jumped on the head that was lowering its head and breathing.
"Hit!" Parasos took advantage of the ice dragon's attention and shot out an arrow, hitting the dragon's left eye.
"Die! Dragon!" Eric thrust the orc sword into the dragon's forehead.
Mistake, Parasos sighed in his heart. Although it was the first time he saw a dragon, the skull of this kind of lizard is the hardest, and so on——
Click!
The frost dragon's huge head slowly slid down.
"Your Highness?" Parasus turned his head to look at Emilia. Sure enough, she had returned to her looming invisible form. It seemed that she no longer wanted to compete for the title of dragon slayer.
"Tch, it can't be absorbed..." "Hey, I always thought that I was also a dragonborn, but I just didn't find it." The body of the ice dragon attracted the attention of the entire Loristed residents, and many people even came over.
He planned to "absorb the dragon soul", but all failed.
"Mularkey, I think your son is very good," Old Lori was praising Eric, who was still confused: "I know that you don't let him go out on adventures because you think the equipment is too poor and it will be dangerous. In this way,
I'll give him my original set of armor and weapons, so you don't have to worry about it anymore."
"Thank you..." Eric thanked him quickly.
"Haha, you must spread the name of 'Dragon Slayer Eric'." Old Lori patted him on the shoulder.
As for the real dragon slayer, he had already left on the newly purchased carriage.
