Section II

Longxiao Palace is incomparably majestic, on both sides of the huge stone steps of thousands of steps, the quaint huge brazier burns violently day and night. Legend has it that in ancient times, Olaf, the king of Nord, and the dragon Angry Minerius fought fiercely for seven days and seven nights. Eventually, the mortals defeated the dragon and imprisoned it there.

Even after thousands of years, I don't know how many times it has been retouched, but the Guunod style that pervades it still lingers. The interior of the palace is simple and rugged, with carved columns and ornate wall panels dividing it into several huge spaces.

And on the top floor of Longxiao Palace, look out in all directions. The High Lord of Snowman, the Great Shore Barguf, resides here. From here, you can see the entire snow man, and if the field of view can be extended infinitely, then you can probably see Loristed directly from here. Every lord likes to come here at his leisure and patrol his territory.

'Squeak~' The side door was gently opened. Without looking back, Barguf could have known who had come - there were not many people qualified to come to this place at this time, and with his light steps that were almost on tiptoe, there was no doubt that it could only be Provantus, the head of the court.

"What is the wind that has brought you here? Provantes. ”

The latter bowed slightly and handed over a stack of texts. "News from the north that three days ago there had been a clash of 1,000 men between the Imperial Legion and the Stormcloak in Covanjonde. The Stormcloak seems to have taken a big hit. ”

"Oh. The lord casually flipped over the texts in his hand and threw them on the round table beside him. "Ignore them, we just need to be neutral. ”

"But we have to make a choice, my lord. The clash between the Legion and the Stormcloak is getting more and more intense. Xue Man must join aside. ”

"Xueman is on Xueman's side! What's the news about the dragon?"

"That's exactly what I'm going to say, Your Excellency. The Haier Terrier has been completely destroyed. And on the western border, there have also been sightings of unknown giant creatures in the clouds. Perhaps Ximu's message is correct. ”

"Damn it. The lord's brow furrowed deeply. "Empire, storm cloaks, vampires, dragons, and even nobles were attacked by bandits the other day. Isn't there any news that is a little lighter?"

The palace steward paused slightly, and then replied, "My lord, when it comes to easy news, there is still some news today. ”

"Huh?"

"Just this morning, there was a farce at the door of the comrades-in-arms......"

………………………………

"It's a good day to fight!"

Ria leaned against the gate of Yuehuaska, boredly counting the pedestrians passing by on the street. The warm sunlight shone on her, and the feeling of comfort made her almost stretch.

"But I can only look at the gate here!"

But what Ria wanted more was to fight, and yes, like the two thousand four hundred and thirty-two comrades in the Brotherhood, she longed for fierce battles, on the grasslands, in the snow, in the mountains, against all kinds of enemies - the kind of thing that every member of the Brotherhood longed for. And they do happen all over Skyrim.

But Ria is just a newcomer. The newcomer has to assume the obligations of the newcomer.

So, while the other comrades were fighting, training, and drinking, she had to come to see the gate. This is the most unpopular job in the entire group of comrades. So much so that it is necessary to draw lots from among the newcomers to be able to make up the candidates who will watch the gate.

Ria glanced at her side. The tiger man named Quirrell was squinting and shaking slightly.

I really envy these races who live in the warm south, and if there is enough light, they can sleep anywhere! But she also felt sorry for Quirrell. If it weren't for his race, he would have come to see the gate even though he should be considered a middle-level according to his qualifications.

Alas, who allowed his people to take advantage of the chaos of the war to sell so many Skumar that they were all expelled from the city by the lords. The one who is still in Xueman is a tiger man with some identity like him.

The girl in the cloak looks like she's coming...... It's pretty long.,Miss Jiao who falls down when the wind blows.。

Ria straightened up and stood in front of the girl.

"Hey, little girl!" she cried out in a gruff voice, "not everyone can come in here. ”

Alice tilted her head and looked at the young man in front of her with a puzzled expression...... Woman.

"I'm just looking for someone?"

Ria licked her lips and said defiantly, "Then you have to put me down." ”

Great, just use this to pass the time. What if such a delicate aristocratic lady would give her a hundred punches? Ria thought that Quirrell, the tiger man beside her, didn't seem to be waking up, and there was no one around paying attention to this place.

Although it feels like bullying the weak, it ...... Not bad too?

………………………………

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Then she was knocked out by the girl's punch. ”

"That's interesting, but what's next?"

"Next ......"

………………………………

Passing over Ria, who was knocked unconscious by a punch, Alice decides to move on.

But the one who stopped her this time was the tiger man Quirrell.

"Do you have to defeat two people to get in?"

Quirrell shook his head and replied in a soft voice that didn't fit his big build, "It's Quirrell's fault for not being able to stop Ria from messing around." Quirrell is here to apologize to you on her behalf. ”

"But there is not a single shield brother in the brotherhood who remains indifferent when the sister is so humiliated by outsiders. ”

That is to say. Alice shrugged, "Do you still have to talk with your fists?"

"I'm sorry, Miss......"

Quirrell's punches were powerful and heavy, and a single whip leg could even tear a crack in the marble floor. The bloodline advantage of the tiger man was brought into full play by him, and a series of swift combination punches made people dizzy.

But it didn't seem to be of much use to Alice, she just had to concentrate and the scene in her field of vision would slow down. It was the power she sensed when she woke up. With her own speed, Alice was able to easily avoid most of Quirrell's punches. Occasionally, one or two hits didn't hurt her.

The slender limbs showed an unreasonably strong physique, and Alice's pocket-sized fist hit Quirrell, even making the other party frown.

From the moment Ria was knocked out, attention was turned to this side. And as the battle between Quirrell and Alice intensified, there were more and more onlookers, including the top of the comrades-in-arms.

"What do you think? It was Skoyue, the leader of the Circle of Comrades, who was as burly as a hill with a bald head, and his dark silver thick wolf-patterned armor barely restrained his knotted muscles. His prestige can make even the most vicious thieves tremble. But at the moment, he respectfully asked the other person a question.

This is a middle-aged man wrapped in a cloak, his face is plain, but it itself is full of an inexplicable sense of existence. His voice was deep and magnetic. "It's a good seedling. She doesn't seem to have undergone any acquired training. Even the position of the sword was wrong, but she used her strength, speed, and instinct to suppress a tiger boxer who had at least twenty years of actual combat experience. Such a talent is rare even in the imperial capital. ”

Skoyue snorted, and her tone was slightly low: "But I still smell the wizard on her." ”

"That's what puzzles me," said Master Knight, "and I can tell from her movements that she's walking the same path as a magic swordsman like I do." But I really don't understand how a person who can learn many spells can be so bad in melee combat. ”

"Are you interested?"

"It's not bad to mix in your spare time. ”

At that moment, Alice finally caught a flaw in Quirrell's punch and punched him three times in the head. The tiger fighter was brought down amid the exclamations of the many fighters.

So Alice looked up, and in front of her, a middle-aged man wrapped in a cloak looked at her with a smile.

"I'm just trying to find someone, why do I have to make it like fighting monsters and upgrading?" Alice sighed helplessly, "So, can I go in and find someone after defeating you?"

"Absolutely. Knight said to her, and as soon as he waved out, a training wooden sword was drawn to his hand by demonic energy, "But you have to use all your skills." ”

……………………………………

"Knight Kane, Knight King. He has a good relationship with his comrades. Barguf looked into the distance, thoughtful in his eyes.

Provantus stood silently behind the lord, an unpredictable smile on his face. Perhaps, this is the news he wants to sue SΓΉ Barguf. After all, it was just a small exchange, and even if it happened at the door of the comrade-in-arms, it was not worth his special trip to report to the lord.

He was just waiting, waiting for the Supreme Lord to make a decision.

"Provantes. ”

"My lord, I'm here. ”

"The story is not over yet, what happened next?"

"Next......" The court governor was slightly stunned, and then continued to narrate: "This is how things ...... developed"
