"Lord, the Dragonborn are coming for you."

At noon, when Barguf was about to leave the sand table and go to the hall for lunch, Ireles came to report to the other party.

"Dragonborn?"

He paused slightly, the threat of the dragon had not gone away, and Halfina didn't seem to be that fond of welcoming others, so what was she doing with her at this time?

I'm afraid it's something that matters.

"Take me there."

Following his guard, Barguf descended the stairs next to the throne and looked at Halfina, who was already waiting, and her little attendant, Ellie. The former could clearly see a lot of wounds, and it was rare to be tired, while the latter looked like he hadn't woken up, yawning incessantly with his mouth open.

"What's going on, friend?"

"I need your help, lord. Lure a dragon into your palace. ”

Without politeness, Halfina directly stated her purpose, but somehow touched Barguf himself, he paused a little, and then said with a slight smile.

"Did I hear me wrong, you said you were going to lure the dragon to my palace?"

"But that's the only way to stop the dragon's attack."

Stopping the dragon attack was very exciting for him, and keeping the dragon here would be a great help to him, but the cost would be just as high.

Once the dragon can't be controlled, then the entire white man will be swept over by it.

"It's too risky, we should have something else to do."

"Unfortunately, this threat is much worse than you imagined, lord.

Why do dragons come back? Because it was Alduin who called them back. ”

Erri yawned and said lazily, but the seriousness in her eyes was clearly seen by Bargulf and Irelis.

The former didn't care about the other party's attitude, but the female guard did see the threat of Erlie.

“…… Kid, you can't..."

"Look you're talking too slowly......"

And Barguf didn't intend to listen to the conversation between the two at all, but his face was dark, and he revealed a deep melancholy.

"Alduin? The Devourer of Worlds deity?

But...... How do we fight it? Does this herald the end of the world? ”

"But I'm a Dragonborn, and it's my destiny to stop it."

As for Halfina's fate, Barguf didn't care, because it didn't mean that the Dragonborn would definitely be able to defeat the other party.

"Perhaps, Greybeard summoned you, and that's enough for me.

Now tell me, who came up with this bad idea of catching a dragon? ”

"That's what Graybeard's mentor told me, and he thinks it's the only way to find Alduin in time."

Graybeard's mentor...... Barguf was not so resistant to Graybeard's reverence, but even for the sake of legend and the help of humans, he was still a lord and still had to solve the problems of human life.

"I want to help you, Dragonborn, and I do what I say.

But first you have to do me a favor.

Both Ulfric and General Tullius wanted me to make a bad decision, and when a dragon enters the city and wreaks havoc, do you think they will be indifferent?

No, I can't take that risk when the enemy threatens me. ”

"An indecisive man."

After careful contact a few times, Xiaobai judged Balguf's personality and told Erli directly.

"He will not use the advantage of riding the wall to seek benefits, nor will he stand in line to solve his worries earlier.

He was worried that the people in the territory would be threatened by war, but he didn't want such a wall to almost tear apart the white man's class, Barguf was a good man, but he was still a little worse than a lord. ”

"So this good guy is going to come and cause something for us."

Silently replied, Ellie waited for Halfina's answer.

"What if you didn't have to worry about the enemy attacking?"

"Then I'll help you carry out this crazy dragon hunting plan.

But at the moment, the grievances between the two sides are too deep to shake hands and make peace. ”

The lord and the dragonborn were lost in thought, while Ellie looked at them faintly and thought, and Irelais stood quietly beside Barguf, not saying a word.

After a long time, Barguv raised his head and made a proposal.

"Probably...... Well...... How about Greybeard?

They are revered by all Nords, and the Hogarth Peak is a neutral territory.

If Greybeard presides over the peace conference...... Then the Empire and the Stormcloak, perhaps, will sit down and negotiate. ”

It's going to be an errand run again, Halfina thought, but still had to say.

"Leave this to me, and I'll discuss the peace conference with Master Eingail."

"Okay, Dragonborn...... Maybe you can stop the dragons and put an end to this war. ”

Halfina took her leave, but Erlie paused deliberately and smiled innocently at Bargulf before turning around and catching up with Halfina.

"Lord, this girl is strange."

Ireles, who had always doubted her identity, finally spoke, but Barguf didn't care.

"Since the Dragonborn can keep her company, even if there is danger, it means that the Dragonborn can control it."

The lord was more concerned about how he could be sure that he could catch the dragon, for he had always thought it was a bad idea.

As well, once this dragon is caught...... How will this help you.

After leaving Dragon's Landing Castle, the two of them returned to the Wind Mansion first, just as Ladia was busy in the kitchen in front of the fire.

"Welcome back, Lord Baron."

The vegetable soup was taken out of the jar, and she handed the bowl to Halfina.

"Thank you, Lydia......

However, I'm going to run errands again..."

"Do you need help?"

There was also a small bowl, which Lydia handed to Ellie, and found a wooden spoon for her.

"No need... This time I can only communicate in my capacity...

I'm afraid it's going to be dangerous, so let's go with me after you've eaten. ”

"Yes, Lord Baron.

But what about Ellie? ”

She was the last person to sit in the chair, and looked at Erlie, who was holding the spoon, and asked, and when the latter heard the question, he immediately raised the spoon with both hands and said.

"I'll stay here~~"

Of course, this was addressed to Lydia, who opened another gap and re-addressed Halfina.

"If you decide the time, crush this thing, and I'll determine the specific time with your sister.

As for the people from the Empire, let me contact them, my sister's identity is very sensitive to the Empire, but it will be of great help to the Storm Cloak, since they claim to be defending the role of the Nords, then naturally they dare not snub you. ”

The dragonborn, who was listening carefully, suddenly felt a small stone-like thing in her pocket, and she didn't react, just nodded lightly imperceptibly.

And Ellie plans to see how the new Thieves' Guild works, and the exchange of interests with Marven.
