I'm adjusting to traveling without teleportation... Cicero is so annoying!

"Well...it's hard to imagine that no one in this village, which is larger than Ximu, would die when attacked by a dragon."
Looking at the charred ruins of Helgen, Ella, who had a pair of fangs painted on her face, felt inspired.
Last night, after giving the answer, Karavicus Vile was completely silent and seemed to have turned into an ordinary statue, while Babas became a lot more lively. Since the location of Seama's Shame is relatively remote, there is no way to go nearby in time.
village, so everyone temporarily stayed in the vampire's residence for one night.
As long as their "drinks" are not touched, other furniture and furnishings basically meet the needs and aesthetics of ordinary people. This is probably the reason why they finally decided to turn back to humans - but they were tricked by the devil.
After daybreak, Arthur discussed with Ella and Lydia, and decided to go to Ximu Town via Helgen, and then return to Xueman. This route will always be much closer than returning the original way. As for the return of Haima,
There was no need to go back and report the matter to the harpy. After the pinewood sentry tower was destroyed, the news would soon reach their ears.
In addition, regarding the name "Hestra" mentioned by the demon, neither Arthur nor Lydia had heard of it. Ella seemed to know something, but was unwilling to discuss it in detail, saying that she would go back to discuss it with Krakow.
She would make a decision later, but judging from the facial pattern she painted on her face that morning, the information didn't seem very good.
"Well, if I want to talk about the reason, the dragon was staring at me for some unknown reason, and I was pretty good at it, so I restrained it for a long time, and waited for me to escape into the underground passage before it went to find me.
When others were there, all the residents were evacuated by the Imperial Corps and the Stormcloaks." Arthur answered Ella's sigh.
"Both of them have to win more support from the civilians. If either party only cares about escaping at that time, its reputation will be severely damaged." Lydia continued.
"However, it's strange. Nords generally don't abandon their homes easily. After the dragon leaves, the residents of Helgen should return one after another and rebuild the town." Ayla took off the bow and arrow from her back: "Unless——
"
"That's the 'unless', get ready to fight!" Babas lost the Ax of Regret. Although his movements were more flexible, he was just an ordinary hound that could talk until he found other weapons that were suitable for him to hold in his mouth and use.
Roar - Jie Jie - Following a strange and familiar roar, more than a dozen swaying figures slowly walked out of the ruins of Helgen.
"But how is this possible?" Arthur picked up his two-handed sword and said doubtfully.
The withered body, the blue fire in the eyes, and the old armor and weapons on their bodies all indicate that these things in front of them are "ghouls", but why do they leave the cemetery and appear on the surface?
"Helgen happens to be stuck on the southern pass that divides the east and west of Skyrim Province. Its geographical location determines that it is a battleground for military strategists. Although most of the war dead will be sent to Falkreath for burial, there will definitely be some for hundreds of years.
There are many soldiers whose bones were buried here but not yet collected." Lydia analyzed calmly.
"It doesn't make any difference between the tomb and the surface. Just let these guys who shouldn't get up lie down again -" Ella opened her bow and arrow, hitting the eye socket of the frontmost ghoul. When it fell to the ground, the blue light in its eyes disappeared.
"Hmm..." Arthur had originally constructed a "gear" in the void, but after hesitating for a while, he finally gave up on the idea of using a summoning bow and watched Ella directly use her original bow in an encounter.
, which proves that the spell is still a bit difficult for her.
"Drink!" Lydia rushed forward while Ella was grabbing an arrow from her quiver, sweeping her shield and knocking another ghoul away.
"Remember, these guys can't be eaten!" Arthur warned Sophie, then picked up his two-handed sword and ran a few steps diagonally to join the battle group from the side, swinging his sword across the giant shield that was heading towards Lydia.
The three attacking corpses were cut off in half.
Seemingly attracted by the sound of fighting, the ghouls entrenched in the ruins of Helgen came out one after another. Although their number was not in the thousands, there were still several hundred, even if Arthur, Ella and Lydia attacked every time.
They were able to kill several of them, but the opponent's numerical advantage still prevented them from ending the battle quickly, and the battle line was getting further and further away.
"Dad said you can't eat it...well..." Sophie looked at the corpses from a distance in a daze.
"It can't be eaten in the first place," Babas said: "Only guys who plan to become bone dragons will eat undead creatures."
"Ah." Sophie quickly covered her mouth.
"Will it change?" Riya asked, holding Ha.
"Basically, dragons eat what they eat to make up for it." Obviously, these rare knowledge usually don't have a chance to be displayed. Now that Babas can't participate in the battle, Sophie and Ria just put on their "I'm very curious" faces, so they simply
Start: "Depending on the amount of ice, fire, and thunder in the food you eat, you may evolve into a blue dragon, a red dragon, or a bronze dragon. A vegetarian dragon will turn into a green dragon. If any dragon likes to eat people or
Other living creatures, if not killed by the dragon slayer, will eventually turn into terrible blood dragons."
"What about Sophie who likes human food so much?" Ria held Sophie's arm.
"Hmm..." Babas was speechless for a moment. Regarding this unprecedented question, he chose to talk nonsense: "Maid Dragon?"
"Oh——" Sophie blinked: "That's incredible."
"In short, no matter what kind of dragon they are, as long as they are strong enough and live long enough, they will eventually become 'ancient dragons'. At that time, they will have no obvious classification, and they can change their appearance into elves or humans according to their preferences...
...Woof?" After saying this, Babas realized it later and looked at Sophie with confusion.
"It turns out that dad is an ancient dragon." Sophie nodded.
Which father? Arthur or Salokniel? No, it seems that both are possible... Babas, who was thinking a little confused, raised his back foot and tickled his chin.
"They have already invaded, let's follow them." Ria pointed to the three adults who had rushed all the way and had already entered the ruins of Helgen.
Roar - click click click -
When two girls and a dog were about to move forward, they suddenly found that they were surrounded by two corpses and three skeletons. Judging from the soil still spilling on them, these undead creatures were buried too deep, even from the ground.
This team started climbing up as soon as they arrived, but they didn't reach the surface until now, just missing the three killing gods.
Arthur would rest assured to keep them here because Sophie was here. As long as a malicious dragon didn't suddenly appear, the mere corpses were not enough for her. But the problem was that he left a sentence "No"
"Eat", and was later alarmed by Babas...
"Huh-puff!" Halfway through Sophie's inhalation, when the skeletons and corpses were already a little unsteady and about to be sucked in, she was covered by Riya.
"Your father said you can't eat these things," Ria looked at Sophie who blinked at her innocently: "Let's go find Ella and Arthur first."
Compared to the more nimble skeletons holding one-handed swords and one-handed axes, the two ghouls carrying two-handed weapons seemed much bulkier. Liya pulled Sophie and rushed towards the gap between them.
"I don't think this is a good idea." Babas, who currently had no means of attack, followed the two girls.
For the two girls who rushed in front of them, it was indeed too late for the corpse to swing its two-handed hammer to attack, but it did not have only one attack method——
"[Fus Ro Dah]!"
The dragon's roar, the only one the ghoul had mastered, sounded, and at the same time a whirlwind was set off. For Sophie, this blow was just like a breeze blowing on her face, but Riya and Babas were blown away directly and landed on the other hand.
In front of a ghoul with an ax in both hands.
Jie Jie——Two corpses raised their weapons and struck down at the same time.
Boom - "[(Dragon Language) Go away!]"
Sophie, who instantly transformed into a half-white dragon, swatted away the zombie attacking her with one claw, and at the same time flicked her tail to hit the other end in front of Liya.
Touch! crackle...
It hit the target, but the ghoul was not blown away as expected. Instead, it instantly turned into many blocks of different sizes and scattered in all directions. In other words, it was shattered.
"Uh...Sophie, you are exaggerating..." Ria was standing there intact, making a scratching gesture.
She did not transform back into a werewolf as expected, instead she was surrounded by a blue light. From the outside, this ball of light looked like a transparent blue giant wolf standing upright.
"Hmm...what is this?" Sophie flicked her tail again to scatter the skeletons that were mindlessly attacking her, then transformed back into the shape of a little girl and reached out to touch the blue light.
"It's 'Hati'~" Riya seemed very happy. Compared with the silence when she stripped off the wolf soul not long ago and after seeing her parents, she now clearly has put down her worries: "I can still fight, so that's it."
I won’t be left behind by Sophie~”
"Falling?" Sophie tilted her head strangely: "If Riya can't keep up, I can carry you."
"Hey, this is what you said, we made an appointment." After the blue light on her body faded and shrank, and finally turned back into the little wolf Hattie, Ria grabbed Sophie's hand.
"Yes, we made an appointment." Although she still didn't seem to understand, Sophie still answered without hesitation.
"Hey! Barbas, what happened there?" Arthur turned around from the ruins of Helgen after hearing the noise, looked at the two girls who were having fun, and then asked the listless Barbas.
"Ah... some boring things happened about friendship, hard work and promises..."
