The Genting District of Snow Man City is the highest point of the whole city, although there is only one building in Longxiao Palace, but there is a mountain spring gushing out near the main entrance, and clear spring water gushes out from the spring on the side of Longxiao Palace, forming a completely useless "moat" around this lord's hall, which converges into a pond near the main gate of Longxiao Palace, and then forms a stream along the built canal to the meandering area and the plain area.

It is also a sight that surrounds the golden trees of Gina Les when it winds its way through the canal, and when it reaches the plains along the canal, it becomes the domestic water of most of the inhabitants, and finally forms a waterfall near the city gate and joins the White River, which flows not far from here.

The nobles who lived in the Winding District had a high sense of superiority over the inhabitants of the Plains, either by virtue of military merit or wealth, and this mountain spring became part of that sense of superiority - the water they drank was all left over from us, and although in order to avoid this, the lord sent guards to protect the aqueduct, but many residents still preferred to climb to the entrance of the Genting District to receive water in containers.

At this time, these pretentious nobles are hesitant whether to go down and mingle with the commoners, it is a dragon, even if it is a dead dragon, it is a skeleton, it is a rare thing that has not been seen for hundreds of years, if you can't see or touch it with your own eyes, what should you do when you are asked when you interact with the nobles of other cities in the future? You can't get past saying "it's just a big lizard".

Even if you can't look down on that dragon, the legendary "dragonborn" can always be seen, although it is said that the emperor is all dragonborn, but since the annihilation crisis two hundred years ago, several emperors are all in the same lineage, so the only other dragonborn in this world is the emperor himself, for these small nobles in remote provinces, it is basically impossible to see the emperor.

“【FUS】！” The roar of a dragon could be heard in the distance in the plains.

"Is that the Dragonborn's unique 'Dragon's Roar'?" "He's putting on a show for civilians." "Can that thing be trained like swordsmanship?" "Yes, the Oufric Stormcloak will ...... too" "Go away, you traitors to the Empire!" "Say what? You who betrayed Talos are traitors! ”

Ignoring the inexplicable and bickering factions of the two aristocratic factions, Nachem straightened his clothes and stepped out of the winding area and walked down the stairs towards the plains.

I'd heard that voice, he thought, and it was impossible to be startled twice.

——9:30——

"So, what does Lord Balguf mean exactly?" Arthur asked to Holongna, who was beside him.

After killing the dragon yesterday, in addition to sending more guards and workers to the western guard tower, Lord Xueman also specially found a huge carriage, and spent nearly a day bringing the entire dragon's corpse back to Xueman City, originally thought that it was going to be transported to Longxiao Palace, but it turned out that the accompanying lord guards said that they would make it into a monument in the market center of the Plains?

"For the Nords, although the legend of the dragon and the dragonborn is very familiar, it is still the familiarity of the 'bedtime story', and many imps now even think that the dragon head in the Longxiao Palace is fake and decorative." Together with Arthur, Holongana watched as the soldiers gradually erected the dragon's skeleton, which was then fixed by Fariga cast: "If a real dragon appears in front of them—"

Then you will connect the stories you have heard with reality, if Xue Man is really attacked by dragons in the future, the residents will be able to better protect themselves and not be at a loss, and more importantly, the legend of Longxiao Palace itself will be believed by more people, and the status of the lord will be invisibly elevated.

"—the lord's neutrality will be easier to maintain." Arthur answered.

"Not bad." In addition to Lord Snowman's guard, Holonga is also Barguf's younger brother, so he will naturally unconditionally support his brother's decision: "I don't care about the Imperial Legion, the Storm Cloak, or the Dragon, and if you dare to offend the Snowman, you have to ask me if I have the hammer in my hand if I agree." ”

"Yo, Arthur, did you look down on your comrades when you went to slay the dragon and didn't call us?" Ella's voice sounded behind him, and then he slapped him on the shoulder with one hand, "I heard that you learned to roar dragons?" Come, roar and listen. ”

"Spare me," Arthur raised his hand, "Wilcas and Cisco have just passed, and I've already yelled at each of you, saying that you're only back now, what are you doing?" ”

"That's not good, I didn't hear that," Ella drew a strange facial pattern of a red skull on a black background today, less terrifying but more weird, and forcibly ignored Arthur's question: "Over there, hurry up." ”

"Ouch......" Arthur looked at the scattered barrels on the edge of the market, and although he thought they would fall apart in the next moment, he still took a deep breath and blurted out something similar to the roar of a dragon: "[FUS! 】”

The barrels flew up as if they had been struck by something, and slammed into the stone wall, tearing apart, and at the same time, an invisible wave of qi spread out, accidentally affecting a nobleman who had just arrived in the plains, and he ran away again with his head covered and shouted "I surrender" - well, why again?

——10:00——

"Warrior Arthur, you saved the Western Watchtower, and killed the dragon who caused trouble, and made a great contribution to Xueman, I will make you a baron, this is the highest title I can share." After the completion of the Dragon Skeleton Monument, Arthur and the Lord Escort traveled to the Dragon Sky Palace to meet Lord Balguf, who looked very satisfied.

"It's an honor." Arthur rests his left hand on his chest.

"But," the lord said, "Although merit is very important, the recognition of the residents of the city cannot be ignored, if it is not recognized by the ordinary residents of Xueman, even if I make you a baron, you will only be the same 'court baron' as Holonge." ”

Court baron? Arthur looked at Holongna, who had come with him to report.

"That is, your barony is known only to lords, other nobles, and guards, and enjoys corresponding privileges." "When the other commoners see you, they will only mumble: another nobleman. ”

"You can choose to become a baron now, or you can become a baron after you've helped enough residents and your name has been passed on to me, and there is really no difference between the two in terms of the status itself." Lord Balguf beckoned to the guards beside him, and Eliris, who had already returned, handed over a ceremonial sword, and he picked up the ceremonial sword and looked at Arthur, waiting for a response.

"May I ask who your barons are?" Arthur thought for a moment and didn't make a decision right away.

Originally just a hunter, he was accidentally involved in the conflict between the Imperial Legion and the Stormcloak, and witnessed the resurrection of the dragon and its destructive power, and he knew nothing about how the so-called nobles behaved. Absolutely not.

What's more, the identity of the dragonborn, the "dragon soul" absorbed from the dragon, and those mysterious "dragon roars" all indicate that his fate is by no means to honestly become a titular nobleman in a certain city.

"You are very smart," the great Bargulf put away the ceremonial sword, and smiled at Arthur, his eyes full of appreciation: "You have seen both Holongana and Farenga, they are basically court barons, and the rest of the one, I don't need to describe his exploits to you, his name is not only Xueman, almost everyone in the entire Skyrim Province knows it, but it is a pity that he only accepted the title and rejected all other things, his name is 'Krako Whitemane'." ”

——10:30——

"We should go to the Lord!" "That's right, the lord saw a good warrior and recruited him to become a baron, and then they were so corrupted by the ease of life that they could no longer hold a sword." "He's a dragonborn, how can he be trapped here to fight against the existence of dragons?" "Isn't it more comfortable to be a noble lord than we are to fight and kill every day?" "What are you talking about!"

Well, I'm expected to fight the dragons, though I don't have any resistance to that, Arthur thought.

When he left the Longxiao Palace and returned to Yuehuaska, as soon as he entered the door, he heard many comrades-in-arms gathering around the fire pit to have a heated discussion, obviously they were very familiar with the style of leading the baron without moving, and they didn't think that Arthur could resist the solicitation.

"You really don't have faith in Arthur," Ella, who was sitting near the doorway and had not joined the argument, beckoned to Arthur as he stepped into the longhouse, and then said to his comrades who were about to fight, "Don't you see that he has returned?" ”

"Who knows if you're here to pack up and say goodbye." Nicada Stonearm, who had always looked at Arthur unpleasantly with his own bravery, muttered.

"Ha, I know," Farkas strode over, patted Arthur on the shoulder and laughed, "You really don't like working with that bald Arvinsi, hahaha!" ”

Well, this angle is really tricky, and the other manager is not completely bald.

"I didn't accept the status of a baron, because the lord wants me to gain more prestige in Xueman," Arthur smiled at his comrades who looked at him with concern, "and I'm going to ask Mr. Whitemane about it." ”

"Yes," Wells said, standing with his brother, gesturing his shield, "just like in battle, your own defenses must be strong enough not to give the enemy a chance." ”

"I knew you were going to make the right choice," the one-eyed Cisco Moon also walked over: "It seems that you are eager to get merit, this is good, I will prepare the corresponding task commission for you, and we will start after you talk to the old man." ”

"Krako is still resting, I'll take you to meet him," Ella beckoned to Arthur and walked towards the Moon Vasca settlement, "He seems to be happy to hear that you killed the head dragon." ”
