Outside: Harbor Trivia

Long before the Fourth Age, the Imperial Seaport outside Dugu City was controlled by the Eastern Imperial Corporation, a large-scale corporation with a deep official background dating back to the early Septine dynasty. It dominated the ports and maritime trade of the imperial provinces. In a sense, it can almost be seen as an extension of the will of the Ancient Council in the Skyrim Province.

Therefore, in Dugu City...... No, in the entire Harfendahl area, there is no doubt that the military positions responsible for governing the perimeter of the Imperial seaport are only held by the Legion. Under normal circumstances, the officers in charge of this post are often the kind of young boys who have no background and can do things.

For example...... A certain centurion who performed well in the Snowman Defense War.

………………………………

Today is the third day of the rising sun, and the sky is fine, which is suitable for visiting friends.

Of course, today is also a good place to entertain.

"Even though the General has ordered the pardon of all the prisoners who survived in Helgen, I still don't think it's a good idea for you to be here. Hadava pulled out his chair and sat down in front of a dark elf who had suddenly appeared in the living room of his house.

"After all, a high-ranking member of the Thieves' Guild visits a Legion Tribune during the day...... It's always a little weird. ”

It's seven o'clock in the morning, and the sun has just appeared at the end of the sky. In a city closer to the border, perhaps the soldiers have already finished their first exercise. However, in this safe and comfortable rear, the sergeants did not have the vigilance and diligence that soldiers should have.

Thus, a certain dark elf was able to sneak through the harbor defense area and silently appear in the room of one of his military tribunes, who had become a higher level than the centurion...... It's not something incredible.

"Why, I'm not welcome?" said the Dark Elf with one hand on the table in front of him, smiling. "Once you've been promoted, you don't know your old friends?"

Hadava was slightly stunned, then shook his head with a wry smile.

"How can it be ......" he spread his hands and said helplessly: "Anyway, you have already found the door, so presumably trouble will also come with you." Since you can't hide from trouble, friends naturally don't need to hide. Do you say, Roy?"

The Dark Elf shrugged, indicating that he had no objection to the claim.

"I did come this time for a personal matter that I would like to ask you. Roy said. "It's a bit related to the lizardman from last time. After thinking about it, I finally decided to trouble my old friend. ”

"Oh, I know. Hadava sighed heavily, "Ever since I saw that the Wurm named Grum was constantly haunting the harbor, I had expected this day...... I hope you don't go too far. He's of a lot of use to the Legion, and I'm not going to watch you kill him. ”

Roy shook his finger and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I came to him this time just for some business problems, and I don't have any intention of killing him." ”

"I hope so. Hadawa still didn't believe it. "What are you going to do?"

Roy naturally didn't notice the dissatisfaction in his old friend's heart, so he responded accordingly. He raised his hand before his words became more awkward.

"Before I do that, I have to tell you one thing. Roy looked imperceptibly left and right, as if to illustrate the secrecy and reliability of what was next. His expression also became much more cautious.

"The Legion's line of defense in Helgen has been lost. Roy whispered, holding Hadava's arm on the table.

He made the right decision.

If you don't, the oak table will be opened by the tribune in a state of shock in the next second, and then scare everyone nearby with a loud noise, provoking a large group of people who are related or unrelated.

Rao so, Hadava's reaction was still beyond the dark elf's imagination - his face was red and white, and his feet were almost jumping onto the table.

"You! you......" he lowered his voice, his face sinking terribly. "You're not kidding!? Helgen Fortress has heavy troops—"

"Heavily guarded, heavily guarded, right? Roy interrupted, "But it has nothing to do with the fall of Helgen - in fact, the Legion higher-ups should have known about it before me, presumably to maintain morale...... I suppose you should have a brand new letter of reassignment on you?"

“…… That's right. ”

"That's it, soon a new round of war will begin. A veteran like you must go back to the front. Tell us in advance, and you can also do some preparation in advance. ”

Hadava's fist clenched, and after a few seconds, it released again. He let out a soft sigh of dejection, and his tense muscles relaxed.

"In this way, the Legion's previous advantages in Xueman have all been negated. Hadava shook his head with a wry smile, his voice becoming dry. "How dare those guys...... The army was not supposed to pass through the Horsgar Peak. Because that would mean disrespect for Graybeard...... Ah, yes. Buffrick was also Graybeard when he was younger, no wonder he dared to do this, he could do it. ”

"Ha, Faulcles can still hold on for the time being, and the Storm Cloak hasn't been able to quietly capture a collar. If Xue Man loses it, he will really fall into a disadvantage, and the current situation is just back to the same height. ”

"That's it, but I'm not reconciled. Hadava waved his hand and replied, "Thank you for informing me of such important information in advance. It gives me a lot more time to do something...... Now, even if you do kill that Argonian, I'll treat it as if I didn't see it. ”

"I didn't come with murderous intent, why don't you believe it?" Roy pouted and said, "You are two completely different people compared to when you were in Xueman. Why, has the comfortable life worn out all the sharp energy in the chest? It's only been a few days, and it's changed a little fast. ”

"That's because I have a capable helper. Hadava replied, "Without her help, I would have been in bad luck...... But she doesn't have something to do here now, otherwise she can introduce it to you. ”

"Thank you. Roy refused. "It's enough for me to know you one officer of the legion, there is no need to continue to increase this value. After all, I'm ......."

He suddenly closed his mouth and did not continue. Following his line of sight, he could see a beautiful girl in a petite white dress appearing at the staircase on the second floor—she seemed to be a little sleepy, and the luster in her eyes was still in a slightly dim state.

"Cousin Hadava, is this your friend?" said the girl softly, slowly descending the stairs.

Her steps were not very steady, and every step gave the illusion that she was about to fall. But she didn't really fall down until she reached the top of the stairs, and Hadava didn't have the slightest inclination to help her.

"This is Dossie, my cousin. Hadava introduced Roy, then turned slightly to the girl and said, "We still have some things to discuss, so you can go outside first." ”

His tone was a little cold, not like the tone that a brother should use to speak to his sister.

"I see, brother. The girl looked at him sadly, and bowed slightly to Roy, who was sitting beside her. She seemed to want to say something, but eventually hung her head and left without saying a word.

Roy looked at her departing back, his eyes a little strange.

He suddenly said to his companion without a head, "She is only thirteen years old at most, definitely less than fourteen. And she's still your cousin. ”

"I know. The tribune took a sip of water. "And she's the fiancée the elders pointed out to me. ”

“…… Then you may be too anxious. It's not good for her. ”

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who has no self-control at all?"

“………………”

There was a terrible silence in the hall.

Roy suddenly remembered some information he had seen in the Guild branch stronghold when he had entered Harfendal not long ago—that his friend had thrown a wandering alchemist out of the port area under the pretext of disturbing the city's appearance during his inspection of the port area yesterday. And such a move is quite inconsistent with Hadawa's usual style......

He shuddered slightly, and a premonition rose in his heart that if the topic continued, then something terrible might happen.

So, he wisely chose to divert the direction of the conversation.

"Speaking of which, I mainly wanted to meet that Argonian this time. Of course, it would be great if this meeting was not discovered by others and the meeting place was in his lair...... Do you have any good proposals?"

"It's a bit difficult. Hadava hesitated. "All I know is that this guy haunts the area around the warehouse area, and I don't know exactly where he is. Moreover, there are many people in the port area, and it is not easy to completely hide the past. ”

"Hmm...... I think I can try to track him. As long as you help me infiltrate the Eastern Empire Company. Roy said quickly, apparently having a backup plan in mind.

"Blending in?"

"No, I have a better way. Hadava suddenly raised his hand and looked Roy's size up and down. "We can just walk in like that. ”

"Huh?"

"My lieutenant is notoriously unverbial, and her stature is ...... It's not ideal, and it's almost impossible to tell if it's a man or a woman while wearing a helmet. Hadava explained, "You're a little taller than her, but it's no different when you put on your boots. And the rest of the place, I think you have a way to get past it......"

"Would you like to be my deputy? For one day, of course. ”

PS: Can you see it?
