A soft call sounded in my ears, and my arm was pushed a few times. Because I vaguely remembered something important in the morning, I had to wake up no matter how sleepy I was now.
"Hmm..." Arthur raised his head and looked at the long table and fire pit in front of him with a dull look. It seemed that... it was different from the shape of Yuvaska Hall?
"Well, are you awake? Do you remember who I am?" came the soft female voice heard before from the left.
Arthur, who initially judged that he had somehow fallen asleep in the kitchen of Longxiao Palace, turned his head unconsciously, and then froze.
Standing there was a Nord girl with a soft face, round eyes like flawless amethysts, one of them slightly covered by short pale golden hair that was almost white. She was not tall and was wearing a close-fitting suit.
The ebony skirt and armor seem to have no armor on the shoulders for ease of movement, and there is an ebony thin sword on her waist that looks like a decoration. The most eye-catching thing is the one she holds in her hand, which is almost as tall as herself.
Huge ebony shield.
"Matthew?" Arthur said subconsciously.
"I guess this name must be very important to you. After all, you admitted it wrong twice," the girl blinked: "But I'm not her."
"Sorry...Lydia," Arthur shook his head, and memories of last night began to emerge: "I guess I'm too tired."
Krako Whitemane was assassinated by the Silverhand Assassin and failed, but that was only part of the overall action of the other party.
At nightfall last night, the "Rings" exhausted their two horses until they were foaming at the mouth, and finally arrived at Snowman City in time. Unexpectedly, they saw the city gate wide open, and the guards were fighting with the silver-hand vampires, and there were
More vampires are rushing towards the winding area, and civilians, businessmen and even some guys who usually look powerful with swords and armor are fleeing.
In full view of the public, the members of the comrades-in-arms were naturally unable to transform. After throwing the carriage to the handle of the Sable Sword, they each picked up their weapons and used ordinary actions to chase the vampires. Fortunately, their purpose was very clearly directed at Moon Gas.
Ka, Xueman's guards came from all directions to intercept them after hearing the alarm, and pedestrians along the way just had to avoid it. As for a guy who wanted to show off his noble pedigree but was kicked into the ditch, he could only admit that he was unlucky.
.
In the end, these vampires were stopped by the remaining members of the comrade group outside the Yuehuaska gate, and they cooperated with the arriving guards and rings to kill them all. However, the weakness of the attackers puzzled both sides. After analysis, it was found that
Look, these vampires are low-level vampires that can only be called blood slaves. The purpose of their actions is to cover the two vampire assassins who took advantage of the chaos to sneak into Yuevaska, assassinate Krako Whitemane and seize the Orb of Wuslade.
Although there were no survivors left alive, it can be seen from the orders found on them that these vampires received the instructions after the attack on the "Dustman Cairn", not the previous orders from Gallows Rock, Wilhelm Castle and Cui
It was obvious that the comrade-in-arms' raid had bankrupted the plan of the other party's planners, so they simply followed the original plan and showed them, that is, "if they did not intercept Silver Hand's weapons, reduce
What will happen to the executors of the operation?" Although it is meaningless to discuss this hypothesis, if it had not interfered with this plan, Krako would have been really in danger.
The other party carried out the plan as usual, and it was not that he was mad. Think about it, after Xueman knew about this attack method, would he want to defend? What if after defending against this plan, the other party would adopt another method to bypass this attack?
What about the "targeted" raid method?
For this reason, "The Great One" Balgruuf asked Arthur to go to Longxiao Palace to ask about the comrades' dealings with those Silver Hands. After discussion, the "Ring" simply let Arthur stay in Longxiao Palace for one night.
And by the way, I want to protect the safety of the lord. After all, the fish that escaped from Cuiwa Tower and converted two groups of bandits along the way has not yet been found.
Arthur couldn't remember exactly how the discussion with the lord shifted from "how to deal with Silverhand in the future" to "formally conferring a baron tomorrow", but after that, he met Lydia, and then "Mar
The name "Xiu" blurted out, and then... well, he felt extremely hungry, as if the act of calling out this name consumed more energy than transforming into a dragon and fighting the vampire king for three hundred rounds. In the end, not only did he
The food in the lord's hall was completely wiped out, and he simply stayed in the kitchen of Longxiao Palace.
"I think Lord Lord, there is nothing to eat today." Arthur looked at the empty kitchen with a slight twitch in his mouth. Fortunately, calling that name did not consume his energy every time. After all, he had just called it again...
"Lord Balgruuf can dine at the banquet after your canonization ceremony," Lydia smiled: "Now you should go to make preparations near the canonization ceremony stage, Lord Baron."
"Well, you don't have to say 'you' or 'sir' every time. I'm not used to it." Arthur straightened his appearance a little and stood up, only to realize that he was half a head taller than Lydia.
Her identity is that of a guard given by the lord when he was canonized as a baron. Generally speaking, this kind of guard has some blood relationship with the lord and is completely trustworthy. Therefore, his attitude can represent the lord himself to a certain extent. Although their duty is to do whatever it takes.
Protect the safety of the baron, but if the baron wants to rebel or assassinate the lord, the guard will immediately turn against him - not necessarily if he assassinates other lords.
"As you wish, my Baron." Lydia nodded lightly, her amethyst-like eyes narrowed, and she smiled.
——10:00——
In front of the Gina Leskin Tree in the Meandering District, there is a temporary high platform erected for the canonization ceremony of the "actual baron". Lord "The Great" Balgruuf is giving a speech to nearly a thousand residents gathered in the audience.
, originally there would not have been so many people coming to watch the ceremony, but because the Silver Hand raid last night made everyone uneasy, they came here specifically to see what the heroes who had defeated those people looked like.
"——So, I will grant this warrior who has helped you many times and actively defended Snowrun the title of 'Baron of Snowrun'! Let us honor the 'Legendary Dragonborn' Arthur Pendragon
Cheers!" Balgruuf ended his speech, took a sword from the hand of Ilerius next to him, and handed it to Arthur with a sword with a cold edge and extremely exquisite decoration.
Although the investiture ceremonies for lords are different in various places, there is no final conclusion on whether to kneel on one knee and whether to put the territorial weapon on the shoulder. Only the tradition of gifting a weapon is the same. Obviously, Xueman is the simplest place.
.
"Uh-oh——"
Arthur took the "Blade of Snowman" from Balgruuf and raised it high to the crowd in the audience, causing another round of cheers.
Naturally, Arthur could not know all of the thousands of residents in Snowrun City, but occasionally he could see a few familiar faces that he saw when carrying out commissions, such as... well, Satya who was ogling him.
"They are not cheering for you," Ella, who was determined to follow Lydia after seeing Lydia, snorted: "They are cheering that the lord's speech is finally over and dinner can be served."
"In fact, there is no need for any merit. For the Nords who worship heroes, the fact that 'he is a dragonborn' is enough." Lydia said.
jingle--
Even among the noisy people, a sound similar to a wind chime was not covered at all. It rang clearly in the ears of everyone present, and then led everyone's eyes to the golden tree next to the high platform.
jingle--
The golden tree that had been bare since an accidental fire sprouted in front of everyone's eyes, one piece, two pieces, three pieces... It could still be seen clearly at first, but after a blink of an eye, the branches of the whole tree were covered with sprouts.
It is covered with purple leaves and pink flowers blooming, and the whole tree shines with golden light.
"Legend has it that it was the Holy Spirit Kynareth who taught the Nords how to roar," Lydia said to Arthur with a smile: "Since the Holy Spirit is congratulating you, you should also respond."
"Hmm..." Arthur thought for a moment and then made a decision. If he taught the Nords how to roar, then this Holy Spirit must want to see the results of the learning, and this was originally discussed with Balgruuf.
Finally, a necessary step in the ceremony, he took a deep breath.
"[Fus Ro Dah]!" Following Arthur's roar, the unyielding power spurted out at the golden tree. However, the seemingly fragile golden tree was unharmed in this dragon's roar, and the golden light shone more and more.
"I once climbed the peak of Hrothgar to learn dragon roar from 'Greybeard', but they said that I was not suitable to learn the 'Way of Roar'," Balgruuf said with a nostalgic tone: "They said that dragon roar is not used for
Coming to fight, I couldn’t understand it at the time..."
Jingle Bells - The golden tree swayed its branches, and three eye-turning runes that seemed to have been carved by sharp claws appeared in front of Arthur's eyes, and then were deeply imprinted in his mind.
[Kaan], [Drem], [Ov], "Peace of Jinai", these are a set of dragon roars that are completely harmless, so no one has ever learned them. Arthur understood this when he saw them
, and this set of runes is what Graybeard said was the dragon's roar that "can control itself". After all, the "Unrelieved Power" itself is a very lethal Tumu.
"[Duva! Kein! Dark! Lanweng!]" At the same time that Arthur learned this set of dragon roars, a thunderous roar came from the direction of Hrothgar Peak.
"Greybeard!" "Greybeard is summoning the Dragonborn!" The residents of Snowrun who were already very excited became even more excited.
"Go," Balgruuf patted Arthur on the shoulder happily: "Go and complete your mission."
"Yeah... I will." Arthur nodded in agreement, but the corners of his mouth were twitching. Esgael was basically bullying everyone into only being able to understand the first two sentences, right?
