The warm sunlight shines through the dense woods, creating soft patches of light on the leafy grass. Sparrows and orioles chirp and chase and frolic under the leaves of beech.

Purple and yellow butterflies ride the breeze around the forest. Occasionally, a butterfly is left alone and rests on a lilac wildflower.

There has never been such an air that makes people feel so happy, and there has never been such a warm breeze that makes people feel so happy.

"I feel like I'm alive again." Roy sighed softly. Then he sat down with Hadava under a spruce tree. I can't get up anymore.

"Looks like we're safe." Alice looked around, then pinned the mace to her waist. "I'll see if there's anything to eat nearby." The girl lifted the dagger, and she seemed to have seen a hare just now.

"Don't forget to find some wood!" Roy's crossbow was thrown at his feet, and he shouted feebly. He turned his head with difficulty and looked at Hadava, who also looked tired.

"I always feel like this is a bit bad. Two big men actually want a woman to find food. ”

"Don't underestimate any Nord woman." Hadava replied angrily: "Based on your words, Governor Regie will definitely clean you up." ”

"But she's an Imperial of Sirodiel."

"I don't know of any woman in the empire who has the audacity to kill people without mercy. She has the belligerent blood of the Nords in her veins. ”

"She looks like she's just a little girl, and if she washes off the dust on her face, she might be beautiful." Roy looked in the direction Alice had left. "She's not even as high as my chin."

"Interested? Well? ”

"I can't afford it, do you want to die?" Roy glanced at Hadava. It looked like looking at the storm cloaks that had died at Alice's hands before.

“……”

After a while, when Alice returned with a few hares dressed on the firewood. Both characters looked at the girl's eyes a little flickering.

"What's wrong? Do I have flowers on my face? Alice asked, confused. She set up the firewood and then skinned the hare with a dagger.

That knife technique was simply miserable.

Hadava stared a little blankly at the piece of flesh that had been sliced off along with the skin, and could hardly resist rushing up and snatching the dagger from the girl's hand. Let her know how the meat should be cut!

Before he could utter a word, Alice thrust a stake into the lower leg of the bloodied hare. There was even a small piece of flesh flying onto his eyelid. So he pouted. I continued to sit back.

Roy felt his stomach twitch.

A minute later......

"Just tried it and I think the seeds of this plant can act as salt and pepper."

Three minutes later......

"The firepower seems to be a little insufficient, but my mana seems to be almost restored."

Five minutes later......

Hadava looked at the girl who was feasting in front of her, and her understanding of the excellence of her lineage was once again raised to a higher level.

In the face of this amazing food, how resistant it must be to have such a pleasant meal! Even if it's Garingen, she can eat it without changing her face!!

…………

All in all, it dragged for a while, when the sun gradually sank. When the trees pulled out their long black shadows, they finally set out on their journey again.

"If you head northwest from here, you will probably be able to reach the Guardian Standing Rock at nightfall. We can take a little break there. Then along the riverbank, it takes less than half a day to get to the stream. We need to tell Lord Sù about the attack on Helgen. Hadava argued and said, "The blacksmith there is a relative of mine." Hot water, beds, steaming meals will all be available. ”

"Kiki? It's a place where there is no quarrel with the world. There weren't even a few guards. Roy hung the crossbow behind his back, rubbing his fingers incessantly with the leaves of some unknown plant.

"Is there any danger on the way?" Alice asked.

"This season...... How many wolves there will be? Hadawa said uncertainly. However, he didn't pay attention to it, with the current combat strength of the trio, and there was no drag, it was only a matter of minutes to get a few blind wolves.

"I hope so." Alice whispered. She had a bad premonition.

"This area has always been peaceful, because it is heavily garrisoned by Imperial legions, so there are no robbers and no beasts. They were all cleaned up. Hadawa showed the two of them the way and explained the situation in the neighborhood.

"So the lone dragon came to Helgen as a guest?" Alice asked curiously.

"Ahem, who would have known that the giant beast in the epic would actually run into reality? The kind of monster that can't even shoot through the skin of the city's bed crossbow that requires four people to pull the pulley, even if it is Dugu City, I'm afraid it won't be able to defend it without defense. Hadava said as he trotted.

"And didn't you survive because of it? All of Helgen's prisoner files have been burned. I think you've been acquitted. ”

"Even if I appear in Dugu City again, I won't be caught?" Roy suddenly leaned in and asked.

"If you don't have anything unclean on you at that time." Without thinking, Hadava replied, "If you are not at ease, you can join the Imperial Legion." The Imperial Army's main enemies in Skyrim right now are the Storm Cloak, Vampires, and perhaps Dragons. As long as it is a person with a skill. General Tulius doesn't care about your past. ”

He looked at Roy and said, "I can tell that your hands are those with bows. The Legion has the best healing potions. I'm sure Governor Regie would be happy to use it in the hands of a good Ranger. ”

"I'm sorry if I get hurt and don't treat little Wix. She's going to kill me. For the sake of my life, it would be better for me to go back to the Rift. ”

Hadava shrugged and made a helpless gesture. He looked at Alice, who was following the two of them, and although she was wearing heavy armor, she didn't look tired at all.

"What about you? Our Imperial Warrioress? ”

Alice tilted her head and thought about it for a moment, but finally rejected Hadava.

"I always felt ...... I still have some things to do. The girl pointed to her head. You also know that I have some problems with my memory. Before I figured out who I was and why I came to Skyrim. I don't think I'm going to join any organization. ”

"Well, everyone has their own ambitions." Hadavaliu said with regret. "If you change your mind, you can come to Dugu City to find me at any time."

When the moon rose, they finally came to the foot of the guardian standing stone in the mouth of Hadawa.

It was three knuckle-shaped boulders the height of a tower, covered in ancient and desolate carvings. The mere proximity gives a sense of sanctity and solemnity. The boulder seems to be shrouded by some mysterious power, and foxes, hares and other small animals that can be seen everywhere on the road are completely afraid to approach them.

"Everyone can be protected by the Guardian Standing Stones, and it is said that there are thirteen Standing Stones scattered in the sky, corresponding to the thirteen ancient powers...... Of course, this is the traditional saying. Nowadays, it is generally used as a certificate for young samurai to establish their own spiritual path. You can try touching them. Personally, I recommend the Warrior's Stone, which is the one on the far right. ”

"Hey!" Roy interrupted him dissatisfiedly: "No matter how you look at it, the Thief's Stone on the right is more suitable for her!" ”

"You might as well say the Mage Stone in the middle! At least the mage won't be shouted at everyone! ”

"Then you might as well touch all three! Isn't there a blessing in this way!? ”

Ignoring the two arguing, Alice walked straight to the Warrior's Stone and gently put her hand on it. Then she seemed to feel the whole boulder light slightly, and an unnoticed glimmer of light shot straight into the sky, lighting up a star in the endless night sky.

"Aha! You are a warrior! I was right! "Hadawa looked very happy. Of course, this was more due to the fact that Roy seemed more disappointed.

"It's a waste of such good luck not to be a thief!" The Dark Elf silently whispered. But he didn't say anything, and the kind of legendary character who was born with the gods obscured by his destiny and so much so that he could only rely on standing stones to liberate his talent is estimated to exist only in the storybooks. For example, the author of "The Guardian of the Rock" is a model of chasing these ethereal things and ending up with a lifetime.

Even if this girl has shown her amazing potential, it doesn't mean that she will be able to catch up with the level of Talos.

"Now we can take a break here. Beasts do not approach standing rocks. You can catch your breath with peace of mind. Hadava pointed to the large river near the standing rocks, the clear water that could see the rocks at the bottom even by moonlight.

"We can replenish the water source. Alice, you can also wash your face. Girls don't like to be sloppy in general. ”

"It's a great idea. I think I can wash it up. Alice said cheerfully, and she almost couldn't wait to go downstream.

But she immediately folded back and took the mace with her.
