Chapter 208: The Baron and the Golden Tree

—4E, 201, Last Seed, 29th, 8:00 a.m.

"Wake up, Baron?"

A soft call sounded in his ears, and at the same time his arm was pushed a few times, because he vaguely remembered what was important in the morning, so no matter how sleepy he was now, he had to wake up.

"Hmm......" Arthur looked up and looked slightly blankly at the long table and the fire pit in front of him, seeming to ...... Isn't it quite the same shape as the Tsukiwa Chamber?

"Well, are you sober? Do you remember who I am? "There was a soft female voice from the left.

Arthur, who initially judged that he was asleep in the kitchen of Longxiao Palace for some reason, turned his head not very conscious, and then froze.

Standing there was a soft-faced Nord girl, with round eyes like flawless amethysts, and short pale golden, almost white hair slightly obscuring one of them, not tall, wearing a set of close-fitting ebony skirts, as if for ease of movement, without armor on her shoulders, pinned to her waist what looked like a decorative ebony sword, and the most striking thing was the huge ebony shield she held in her hand, almost as tall as herself.

"Matthew? (Matthew)" Arthur said subconsciously.

"I guess the name must be important to you, after all, you mistook it twice," the girl blinked, "but I'm not her." ”

"Sorry...... Lydia," Arthur shook his head, and memories of last night began to come flooding back: "I think I'm too tired. ”

Krako Whitemane was assassinated by the Silver Hand Assassin in an unsuccessful attempt, but that was only part of the overall action.

Yesterday at nightfall, the "Rings" frothed at the mouth of the two horses, and finally arrived in time for the snowy city, only to see the gates wide open, the guards were fighting with the vampires of the silver hand, and more vampires were rushing towards the winding district, and the commoners, merchants, and even some of the men who usually looked mighty with swords and armor fled.

In full view of everyone, the members of the comrade-in-arms naturally could not transform, and after throwing the carriage to the sable sword hilt at will, they each grabbed their weapons and used ordinary actions to chase those vampires, fortunately, their purpose was very clear to the moon vaska, and the guards of Xueman rushed from all directions to intercept after hearing the alarm, and the pedestrians along the way only had to dodge, as for a guy who wanted to put up a noble tree but was kicked into the canal, he could only consider himself unlucky.

Eventually, these vampires were stopped outside the gate of Moon Vaskar by the outer members of the Legion of Brothers, and they were killed by the guards and rings who arrived to kill them all, but the weakness of the attackers puzzled both sides, and later analysis showed that these vampires were low-level vampires who could only be called blood slaves, and the purpose of their actions was to cover the two vampire assassins who took advantage of the chaos to infiltrate Moon Vaska, assassinate Krako Whitemane and seize the Witch Raz Orb.

Although there were no living mouths, it is clear from the orders found on them that the vampires were instructed after the attack on the "Dastman Cairn", and not by the previous fish that slipped through the net at Gallows Rock, Wilheimer Castle, and Triva Watchtower, and it is clear that the raid by the comrades-in-arms broke the plan of the other mastermind, and simply executed the original plan to show them, i.e., "what would have happened to the executors of the reduction operation if they had not intercepted the weapons of the Silver Hand", although it was pointless to discuss this assumptionBut if he hadn't interfered with the plan, Krako would have been in real danger.

The other party carried out this plan as usual, and he was not dizzy, think about it, after Xue Man knew this way of raiding, should he defend himself? What if, after defending against this plan, the other side adopts another way of raiding to bypass this "targeting"?

For this reason, the "Great Shore" Bargulf asked Arthur to go to the Longxiao Palace to ask about the comrades-in-arms and those silver hands, and the "Ring" after discussion, simply let Arthur stay in the Longxiao Palace for one night, and by the way to protect the safety of the lord, after all, the fish that escaped from the Triva watchtower and converted two groups of robbers along the way has not been found.

Arthur doesn't remember exactly how the discussion with the lord went from "how to deal with the silver hand in the future" to "officially canonize the baron tomorrow", but after that, he met Ladia, and then blurted out the name "Matthew", and then ...... Well, he felt extremely hungry, as if the act of calling out the name required more physical strength than transforming into a dragon and fighting the vampire Lord for 300 rounds, and in the end, not only did he sweep away the food in the lord's hall, but he also lived in the kitchen of the Longxiao Palace.

"I don't think Lord Lord has anything to eat today." Arthur looked at the empty kitchen, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, fortunately, that name is not called once to consume physical strength, after all, he just called again......

"Lord Barguf can dine at the banquet after your canonization ceremony," Ladia smiled, "Now you should go and get ready near the canonization ceremony, Lord Baron." ”

"Well, you don't have to take a bite of 'you' or 'adult', it's not customary." Arthur straightened his gauge a little and stood up, only to realize that he was half a head taller than Lydia.

Her status is a guard given by the lord when he canonizes the baron, and this kind of guard is generally related to the lord and can be trusted, so the attitude can be represented by the lord himself to some extent, although their duty is to protect the baron's safety at all costs, if the baron wants to rebel or assassinate the lord, the guard will immediately turn against him - not necessarily if he assassinates other lords.

"As you wish, my baron." Lydia nodded slightly, her amethyst eyes narrowing into a light smile.

——10:00——

In front of the Golden Tree of Gina Les in the winding district, there was a high platform temporarily erected for the canonization ceremony of the "real baron", and the lord "Great Shore" Bargul was giving a speech to the nearly 1,000 residents gathered under the stage, and there would not have been so many people to watch the ceremony, but because the action of the Silver Hand raid last night made everyone feel uneasy, so they came to see what the hero who repelled those people looked like.

"—So, I will bestow the title of 'Baron of Snowman', a warrior who has helped you many times and actively defended Snowman! Let's cheer for the 'legendary Dragonborn' Arthur Pendragon! Balgoff finished his speech, taking a longsword with a cold glint and an unusually beautifully decorated sword from the hand of Elires next to him, and handed it to Arthur.

Although the knighthood ceremony varies from lord to lord, whether or not to kneel on one knee or whether to put a territorial weapon on your shoulder or not is inconclusive, only the tradition of gifting a weapon is the same, and obviously, Xueman is the easiest here.

"Uh-oh-"

Arthur took the "Snowman Blade" from Barguf's hand and raised it high towards the crowd, causing another round of cheers.

Naturally, Arthur couldn't know all of the thousands of residents of Snowman City, but occasionally he could see a few familiar faces that he saw when he carried out his commission, such as ...... Uh, Satya who was winking at herself.

"They're not cheering at you," snorted Ella, who insisted on following Ella near the high platform after seeing Lydia, "It's cheering that the lord's speech is finally over and it's time to eat." ”

"Actually, it doesn't take any merit, for the hero-worshipping Nords, the fact that 'he's a Dragonborn' is enough." Lydia said.

Jingle Bell –

Even in the midst of the cacophony of human voices, a wind-chime-like sound was completely uncovered, and it rang clearly in the ears of all present, and then directed everyone's eyes to the golden tree next to the high platform.

Jingle Bell –

The golden tree, which had been bare since an accidental fire, sprouted in everyone's eyes, one, two, three...... At first, you can still see clearly, but after a while, the branches of the whole tree are covered with purple leaves, and pink flowers are blooming, and the whole tree shimmers with a golden light.

"Legend has it that it was the Holy Spirit Kynareth who taught the Nord dragons to roar," Ladia said to Arthur with a smile, "Since the Holy Spirit is congratulating you, you should also respond." ”

"Hmm......" Arthur thought for a moment and decided, if it was he who taught the Nord dragon roar, then the Holy Spirit must have wanted to see the results of the learning, and this was originally a necessary step in the ritual after consulting with Balgulf, so he took a deep breath.

“【Fus Ro Dah】!” With Arthur's roar, the unrelieved power erupted towards the golden tree, but the golden tree, which looked fragile, was unharmed in this dragon's roar, and the golden light flickered more and more.

"I once climbed the heights of Hosgar to learn the dragon's roar from Greybeard, but they said I wasn't fit to learn the 'way of the roar'," Barguf said in a nostalgic tone, "They said that dragon's roar wasn't for fighting, and I couldn't understand it at the time......"

Jingle - The golden tree swayed its branches, and three eye-spitting runes that seemed to have been carved by sharp claws appeared in Arthur's eyes, and then deeply imprinted into his mind.

[Kaan], [Drem], [Ov], "Gene's Peace", this is a set of dragon roars that are completely non-lethal, so no one has ever learned them, Arthur understood this when he saw them, and this set of runes is what Graybeard said "can control yourself" dragon roar, after all, the "unloading power" itself is a very lethal spit eye.

"[Duwa! Klein! Duck! Ranon! "At the same time that Arthur learned the roar of the dragons, a roar like thunder was heard from the direction of the peak of Horsga.

"Greybeard!" "Graybeard is summoning the Dragonborn!" The already excited residents of the snow were even more boiling.

"Go," Barguf patted Arthur on the shoulder with relief, "Go and complete your mission." ”

"Hmm...... I will. Arthur nodded yes, but the corners of his mouth twitched a little, Esgael was bullying everyone at all, and everyone could only understand the first two sentences, right?

The whole roar means: "Dragonborn! Get to work! ”
